The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 144 Overseas Distribution
Although Chen Jingxing is the director of the promotional activities of "Signal" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, he is not involved. He has more important affairs to deal with, so Luo Chen and Lei Jiayin are going abroad for this round of promotional activities.

In fact, it was mainly Luo Chen.

After all, Luo Chen is also an idol cultivated by the Hallyu star-making industry. When the group he was in was at its peak, it also had many fans in Japan.

Of course, the regular rotation of Korean idols is getting old after so many years, but "Fatal Identity" starring Luo Chen at the beginning of the year has achieved good box office results in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries.

That's enough to jog a lot of people's memories.

In addition, "Fatal Identity" has also achieved great success in North America, which is equivalent to putting a golden halo on the body. Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are very fond of this set.

After the release dates in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia were arranged, the release in Russia and other European countries was also quickly put on the agenda.

At the same time, Columbia and Lionsgate also began preparations for distribution immediately after returning to the United States.

This is not only a requirement of the agreement-DreamWorks clearly added a clause in the copyright transaction agreement: from the beginning of the North American copyright sale, it must be released in North American theaters within two months.

It is also the will of Columbia and Lions Gate.

The so-called one moment is another moment. For "Fatal Identity" at the beginning of the year, although Chen Jingxing already had the blessing of "Comet" and the Orlando Gold Award in North America, the topicality of "Comet" was completely limited to the Internet, which was for young people. Carnival, Orlando Gold Award movies are held every year, and the attention and expectations of the North American mainstream market are limited.

So Colombia didn't really need to worry about piracy at the time.

"Fatal Identity" is not yet at the level that audiences can't wait to see it first-because it is still a foreign film after all, and North American audiences have always been arrogant and arrogant.

But "Signal" is completely different, because of the huge box office success of "Fatal Identity"-for foreign films, Chen Jingxing is no longer an unknown here, and many fans and young people are looking forward to his next film. works.

Moreover, "Signal" has not only achieved amazing box office results in China, but will also be released in neighboring countries and regions soon, especially in South Korea. If it achieves a good box office result, it will definitely cause waves in North America.

The problem of piracy can no longer be ignored.

This is not inconsistent with the protection of intellectual property rights in the United States. The moral level of Americans is not much higher than that of other countries. They are all people on earth, and whoever is nobler than the other.

The lack of piracy of film and television works in North America has nothing to do with the moral level of ordinary people. It is a matter of law and the management capabilities of major studios and distributors.

More than ten years ago, the publisher had the guts to bet on the much-anticipated "Hero" for nearly two years because the Internet was underdeveloped at that time, and piracy could only exist in the form of discs. Space for scale spread.

Now that the Internet is quite developed, the difficulty of obtaining pirated movies and TV and the efficiency of dissemination have been greatly enhanced. With the Korean pirated industry as the distribution center for online distribution, as long as you can connect to the Internet, you can be radiated by it all over the world, especially if you don’t have enough money. Young people and students in China are no different from domestic netizens in that they have all kinds of ways to obtain pirated resources. Otherwise, if you like to watch movies, watching dozens or hundreds of movies a year will definitely be looked down upon.

The copyright bought by Columbia and Lions Gate at such a high price can never take the risk, and it is also their appeal to release it as soon as possible.

In this way, although "Signal" did not achieve the global simultaneous release that Chen Jingxing originally dreamed of, it also achieved similar results.

The news from North America is that it can be released within a month, so that "Signal" can basically achieve the achievement of large-scale release in major markets around the world within a month.

With the finalization of the release date in the Russian market, the National Day holiday in China has officially ended.

The results of the National Day box office battle are out.

"Signal" became the National Day box office champion with a cumulative score of 6.4 million.

"White-haired Witch" ranked runner-up with 2.2 million, and this is basically the final box office, with an additional 3000 million at most.

"Signal" not only topped the domestic box office, but also won consecutive daily box office champions in Hong Kong Island, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand, where it has already opened, and its cumulative box office has reached more than 4000 million yuan.

And Japan, the big ticket warehouse, will be released soon.

According to media forecasts, the box office results in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are expected to challenge the US$5000 million mark, which will become the highest box office of Chinese-language films in the Asia-Pacific region in the past 10 years.

The influence of the overseas box office is second to none. The overseas promotion drafts of Luo Chen and Lei Jiayin, who are the leading actors, are also trending searches every day, stimulating the nerves of the Chinese people.

In particular, the scene of Luochen being popular with fans during the promotion in Japan, South Korea and Thailand made domestic netizens feel infinitely moved.

Originally, with the failure of the stars, the domestic and international movie stars also failed. Everyone wondered when Huaguo will produce another international star, or whether it will still be possible.

Unexpectedly, this candidate seems to have appeared?

Think carefully about the number of viewers of "Fatal Identity" in North America exceeded 500 million, while on the Netflix platform, the number of views (viewing accounts) of "Fatal Identity" exceeded 1400 million, ranking fifth in this year's movie viewing list .

And "Fatal Identity" has also achieved outstanding results in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, and even ranked eighth in South Korea's box office list this year.

Judging from these achievements alone, as a movie star, Luochen definitely has a worldwide reputation, no matter how famous it is, that's why so many international brands have sought him out as endorsements.

And now with the blessing of "Signal", Huaguo's next international superstar must be him.

However, apart from Luo Chen's fans, other ordinary netizens, entertainment media, and people in the industry felt that something was off-putting, and even felt that the smell was not right.

First of all, Luo Chen's career as an international movie star has risen too fast, which makes people a little overwhelmed. The most important thing is that everyone has not smelled the stars and legends of the older generation of superstars in Luo Chen.

It seems that everything came too easily, just like the characters in Hollywood comic blockbusters, everyone may know them, and their fame is indeed known all over the world, but compared with the international superstars who are still active in Hollywood A lot of stars and flavors, even if the box office results of these comic hero actors are even better.

Although this does not prevent the jealousy of Wu Tingxuan, Lu Han and other new generations of traffic, it does not prevent their fans from gnashing their teeth at Luo Chen, nor does it prevent Luo Chen's own fans from being overjoyed.

But most people still think that Luo Chen is like a man-made movie star, a superstar artificially promoted.

And it is so easy to become such a superstar or an international movie star - as long as you act in Chen Jingxing's movies, if you can't make one, you can make two.
