Chapter 540 Mu Chen's Harsh Words Are Questioned
People have stumbled, horses have stumbled!
Both Mu Chen and Chen Fuhai are not very optimistic about the box office of "The Great Wall", especially the foreign box office.

But the performance of this film is astonishing.

Whether it's word of mouth or box office.

The good reputation is not without Mu Chen and Chen Fuhai's expectations.Otherwise, I would not have taken this film to participate in the Golden Dragon Awards.

What they didn't expect was obviously the box office.

This is true whether it is foreign box office or domestic box office.Especially foreign box office.

Unexpected, not a fright, is a surprise.

This time, it was clearly the latter.

It's not just that Mu Chen and Chen Fuhai are not optimistic, even the director Ma Lin doesn't have much confidence.

It's a bit difficult for domestic fans to watch, let alone foreign ones.

Domestic movie fans, at any rate, know more or less about strategies such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Who would have thought that the foreign box office is also extremely astonishing.

Word of mouth is even much better than domestic ones.The degree of heated discussions is not much worse than that in China.

The North American box office on the first day was only more than 2000 million US dollars.

This is still within expectations.

But who would have thought that the next day did not fall but rose, and the single-day box office directly broke 3000 million, winning the single-day box office champion.

I thought this had something to do with the depletion of a lot of film potential for May Day releases in North America.

But on the third day of its release, it directly broke 4000 million.

Box office continues to grow.

In three days, it almost broke [-] million.

This definitely exceeded many people's expectations.

With such a box office trend, it would not be difficult for North American box office to win [-] to [-] million U.S. dollars without blockbuster blockbusters.

The counterattack of the film's release in North America and other places naturally stimulated the domestic box office.

More than a week after its release, the box office has shown a reverse growth.

This film may be much higher than the global box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

"There is a counterattack at the foreign box office. I'm afraid it's beyond your expectations?" Wang Hao looked at Ma Lin and Mu Chen and said, "Fortunately, I didn't book the show to support this film, otherwise it would be too cheap Xu Jin That guy."

The success of "The Great Wall", especially the success abroad, undoubtedly made Huaying Film and Television a beautiful turnaround.

"I really didn't expect that." Mu Chen nodded and said.

So what if you knew the film was going to be a hit?
At that time, this film was undoubtedly the most suitable to cooperate with Huaying Film and Television.

Compared with other films, the risk of this film is indeed greater.

Sharing risks is undoubtedly the best publicity.

Big risk big reward, nothing to regret.

Huaying Film and Television may have made a comeback with this film, but there is still a long way to go to threaten Chenxi Film and Television.

I don't know how long it will take to reach the momentum that Xu Jin and Fukdo Group had just acquired Huaying Film and Television, let alone threaten Chenxi Film and Television's dominance in the domestic film and television industry.

"I'm afraid your film is about to start publicity!" Marin said.

He didn't want to continue the conversation.

It's more than tears!
Marin is actually very contradictory.As the director of this film, he naturally doesn't want to hit the box office.

After all, he only gets dividends when the film makes money.

Busy work, who wants to?
But now the box office is a big hit, and the dividends have come, which seems to be something to be happy about, but when I think of it being cheaper, Huaying Film and Television, I feel upset again.

Marin's resentment towards Huaying Film and Television and Xu Jin is not so easy to dispel.

"The trailer will be released every two days." Mu Chen said.

"Titanic" is scheduled to be released on July [-]th, and now it's less than two months away. The pre-heated publicity can naturally start.

"Actually, your film probably doesn't need much publicity." Wang Hao said, "Sweeping Oscars and slapping Hollywood director Scorsese in the face, these gimmicks alone are enough to attract fans all over the world."

"Necessary publicity is still needed." Mu Chen said with a smile.

Gimmicks alone are obviously not enough.It should be publicized, and it must be publicized.

Mu Chen also wants to see if this film can break the global box office record of "Avatar" and reach the top of the global box office list!
Of course, the final box office of the film depends on the quality of the film itself.

Time can make people forget many things.

Mu Chen refused to be interviewed by the media, and the hostage-taking incident at the jewelry exhibition was gradually replaced by other topics.

However, filming will begin soon.

At that time, it may set off some heat again.

Just some.

The media may not continue to give too much coverage on this matter.

Mu Chen didn't pay much attention to these.

He is fully involved in the preparation of the new film.

The script was studied and revised repeatedly, and the protracted plot was reduced to make it more compact.

Characters, conflicts and conflicts between characters, costume props and action design, and the tension of the plot all need to be perfect.

Time flies by in the midst of busyness.

In mid-June, "The Great Wall", which has been in theaters for more than a month, has been drawn globally.

The domestic box office exceeded 40 billion, not as good as "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World", but the North American box office broke 12 million, and the global box office was nearly [-] billion US dollars, a little more than "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World".

The film "The Great Wall" has also become the second film of Chenxi Film and Television this year with a global cumulative box office of more than one billion US dollars.

And this is clearly just the beginning.

Next, Mu Chen's "Titanic" will be released in early July.

No one thought the Oscar-sweeping film would flop at the box office, falling short of a billion dollars.

In the past few years, which of the films directed by Mu Chen did not exceed 15 billion?
In addition, Chenxi Films also has the superhero series "War God" and "Sword Fairy 2", and "War God 2" has not yet been released.

These films have a good chance of breaking $[-] billion at the global box office.

If you add Dream Films.

Perhaps, Mu Chen's film and television company will accumulate tens of billions of dollars in box office this year.

It's unbelievable to think about it.

Less than a month before the release of "Titanic", Mu Chen also gradually put down the preparations for "Shading the Sky" and participated in the promotion of the film.

In this film, Mu Chen is undoubtedly the most popular at the box office.

As for the other main creators of the film, their background is too poor to support the corresponding promotional activities of this film.

Justin, who played Jack, was just a newcomer before this. Although he won the Oscar for Best Newcomer with this film, its box office appeal is extremely limited.

Before that, Luna, who played the heroine Ruth, was only a third-tier actor in Hollywood, although she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress with this film.

Unfortunately, she has no box office appeal.

This is true of the two leading actors, and it is even more difficult for other supporting actors to support the promotion of this film.

Mu Chen naturally had no choice but to come forward and run around to promote the film.

"Director Mu, what are your expectations for the box office of "Titanic"? How much do you expect the box office of this film to be?"

Promoting a movie is essential to predicting the movie's box office, and will basically be asked by reporters.

Some people naturally blow it up to show their self-confidence.

These people are not afraid of being slapped in the face afterwards.

Because of such bragging, it is possible to "fool" fans into the theater.

What's more, if you don't even have confidence in your own film, how can you make fans feel at ease about this film?And why do fans pay to watch your movies?

Relatively speaking, Mu Chen has always been very humble in this regard, and he doesn't talk too much.

Not full, but not too modest.

"Expectations for the box office? Of course, the higher the better." Mu Chen said with a smile, "People go to high places, but water stays to low places. I naturally hope that the box office of this film will surpass those of previous films."

Surpass the box office of Mu Chen's previous films?
When Mu Chen said this, everyone immediately thought of "Avatar", the film that had dominated the global box office charts for many years.

He actually expected to surpass "Avatar"?
Isn't this expectation too high?
The reason why "Avatar" has such a high box office is not only the success of the film itself, but the 3D craze has played a huge role.

This "Titanic" obviously cannot achieve the technological breakthrough like "Avatar".

The special effects technology of this film may have reached the peak level, but if there is no breakthrough, it may be impossible to set off a movie-watching craze like "Avatar".

"Director Mu, where do you think the confidence that this film has surpassed "Avatar" to reach the top of the global charts comes from?"

A reporter asked quickly.

Mu Chen always leaves a little room for what he says, and doesn't give others a chance to slap them in the face, this time the opportunity has come!

"Aren't you asking about expectations?" Mu Chen said, "I'm just hoping. As for whether it can be achieved, it depends on whether the fans support it!"

Sure enough, Mu Chen was still that Mu Chen.

"Then Director Mu, what is your estimate for the final box office of this film?"

When a movie is released, there is usually an estimated box office.

Mu Chen was no exception.

And the box office he estimated in the past is not very different.

In fact, this question has been asked before, but Mu Chen didn't answer it before.

"If the film grosses less than $20 billion worldwide, it's a failure."

As soon as Mu Chen said this, the reporters in the audience were stunned, and then the scene became a little noisy.

It seems that Mu Chen really wants to use this film to break the box office record set by "Avatar"?

If not, Mu Chen wouldn't have said such cruel words!

Although the global film market is booming nowadays, billion-dollar movies are not uncommon, but there are not many.Films that gross more than $[-] at the box office are rare.

And 20 billion US dollars is even more rare, and one may not be released in a year or two.

With a box office of US$20 billion, how many movies are there now?
Is the box office of "Titanic" really expected to break 20 billion?
It is not difficult to hear from Mu Chen's tone that 20 billion is just a minimum estimate.

To overtake "Avatar," the film would need to gross $30 billion.

The box office expectation of Mu Chen's "Titanic" is 30 billion US dollars!

Is this movie really that badass?

Wasn't this film made to compete against Scorsese at the Oscars?

So can a film that was shot in a hurry have both awards and box office?
Many are skeptical.
