Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 230 kicks off the domestic sci-fi movie!

Chapter 220 Seven: Opening the Prologue of Domestic Science Fiction Movies!

With the arrival of the Ching Ming Festival, the movie "Ready Player One" has finally landed in major theaters in the anticipation of netizens.

Fortunately, China is only less than a week later than foreign countries, and the gun version movies that have been circulated are basically all SD quality, which has little impact on the box office of domestic movies. After all, if the clarity of this special effect masterpiece is not enough, it will bring The audience only has visual pollution, and it is definitely not visual shock.

Once the "Ready Player One", which has been wildly publicized by major media recently, was released, it immediately replaced "Black Panther", "Wreck-It Ralph 2", and "A Quiet Place" and became the most sought-after object of movie fans.

Just like "Black Panther", which was released in March, with the golden signboard of Marvel, the popularity of "Ready Player One" was not lower than that of "Ready Player One".

But until now, there are basically few news about the "Black Panther" movie on the Internet, and the amount of attention from netizens is getting lower and lower. .

In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, these movies have been released for almost half a month at the latest. Audiences who are interested in American comics and superheroes can say that they have already watched the movies, unless some news has recently been exposed to promote these movies. Otherwise, the box office of follow-up movies will basically not fluctuate too much.

In the end, in the case of pre-sales in advance, "Ready Player One" won a box office of 3000 million yuan at the zero point, ranking second in this year's zero point box office.

The first one is "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which was released on New Year's Day.

Originally, the box office of Spring Festival movie premieres like "Tang Detective 2" and "Kung Fu Yoga" was not low, but there is no way. Can give up the box office of the zero-point show.

Even though "Ready Player One" had [-] million box office pre-sales, it still failed to surpass "I'm Not the God of Medicine" at the zero box office, which surprised the filmmakers in the circle.

However, for netizens, this is expected.

Comparing the box office with "I'm Not the God of Medicine"?

Unless the leading actor of "Ready Player One" is Lin Yuan, judging from the cast, the movie "Ready Player One" is not attractive to most domestic audiences.

For the four audience groups of men, women, old and young, "Ready Player One" can only account for a quarter at most.

However, compared with films such as "A Quiet Place" and "Wreck-It Ralph 2" released in the same period, the results of "Ready Player One" can be said to be far behind these films.

Many self-media began to use the zero-time box office of "Ready Player One" as a gimmick, saying that this is the biggest dark horse in the domestic film market this year. The top-performing imported film "Black Panther" is compared with it.

In the early hours of Saturday, April [-]th, the first-day box office of "Ready Player One" was finally released.

"Ready Player One" grossed 2.3 million on the first day!
Compared with the first-day box office of Marvel's "Black Panther" movie released in March, it was a full [-] million higher!

It is another round of carnival time for the major media. Every time this happens, the major media are the happiest. They don’t need to spend time looking for report materials. They only need to make a fuss about the box office data. A lot of traffic.

The box office results are here, and most of the media have begun to tout "Ready Player One" and director Spielberg.

It was only the first day of its release, and "Ready Player One" has already become the best imported film of the year in the media's mouth.

As for the Marvel movie that fans around the world are looking forward to in May, it was put aside as if forgotten by these media.

The Marvel movie "Black Panther", which has already been released, has naturally become the object of comparison by the media. Comparing the cast and box office results, the result is naturally a complete failure.

"Ready Player One", which set a first-day box office record for imported films, was still strong on the second day, not only breaking through the [-] million box office mark, but also only one step away from the [-] million box office record in the first week.

You must know that the box office results of this kind of special effects masterpiece with no plot are generally declining steadily, because there is no attractive plot, so after watching it for the first time, the audience will naturally lose interest in the second round. The box office of "Ready Player One" has risen steadily.

The reason for this is that the audience saw surprises other than the trailer from the movie.

Domestic audiences are actually more complicated about the movie "Ready Player One". What attracts the audience to the cinema is the large number of easter eggs in "Ready Player One", but at the same time, it is also the many easter eggs in the movie that make the audience feel disappointed.

From the trailer, domestic audiences did not see any easter eggs about Chinese elements.

This has led many viewers to think that the movie "Ready Player One" just wants to make money from domestic audiences, but is unwilling to spend effort to cater to the tastes of domestic audiences. Even Lin Yuan was criticized by many netizens because of this incident, thinking that For a domestic film star to play such a small role, it is a drop in price.

But after the movie was released, when the audience walked into the movie theater and saw Lin Yuan using props on the big screen to summon the heroic spirits of the generals of the Three Kingdoms of China and lead thousands of iron hooves to a decisive battle with l0l company, they were directly shocked by the grand scene in front of them.

Although this is an easter egg from the game "Three Kingdoms Warriors", when seeing Chinese military generals such as Guan Yu and Lu Bu appear on the screen, domestic audiences can only use two words to describe their hearts at the moment: shock.

Director Spielberg obviously adopted Lin Yuan's suggestion. Even if the screen is less than 1 minute long, domestic netizens have already felt the sincerity of the crew.

If the movie is full of plots in the trailer, the performance of "Ready Player One" obviously cannot reach the current level.

However, judging from the current momentum, whether "Ready Player One" can break the current record set by "Black Panther", everyone is extremely certain and has no doubts at all.

In less than a week, "Ready Player One" successfully sat on the throne of the highest-grossing film in the same period, overwhelming the 11 billion box office of "Black Panther".

"The best imported film of the year was released in April. Director Spielberg and Lin Yuan worked together to win the box office champion in April!"

"The first Hollywood movie of Lin Yuan, the youngest actor in China, broke 12 billion at the box office within a week of its release!"

"The annual box office record for imported films has been broken, "Ready Player One" has surpassed "Black Panther" in all aspects, and it is the first time for a Marvel movie to taste defeat!"

"The box office of "Ready Player One" is very hot, and it is hard to find a ticket in major cities during the prime time period!"

The reports of the major media are frantically touting, but they just used the words of the "Black Panther" movie on "Ready Player One". It is said that sometimes it is quite simple to be a reporter. If you use a press release several times, it is estimated It will continue to be used in "Reunion 3" next month.

On the other hand, Lin Yuan has been writing the script of "My Motherland and Me" at home these days.

Anyway, the crew of "Ready Player One" didn't plan to come to China for a road show. Lin Yuan's promotion of the film was nothing more than forwarding a post on Weibo, and it didn't take him much time.

Sometimes when the family is bored, they go to the apartment, and at night, they go to Song Zuer's house next door to have a meal. For more than half a month, the two feed each other well.

Lin Yuan also reserved a role for Song Zu'er, don't watch it, just show up in the movie. If this role is released outside, I don't know how many first-line stars will compete to play it. After all, this kind of main theme jointly produced by major film companies It's not easy for a movie to appear on the cast list.

As for this kind of behavior of going through the back door, even if it is to plug a vase into the crew, as long as it does not delay the filming, basically no one will say anything, just like when Feng Xiaogang became the director of the Spring Festival Gala back then, he even arranged for many artists under the Huayi Brothers Entering the Spring Festival Gala, this seems to have almost become a customary thing in the circle.

After finishing the script, Lin Yuan printed the script into three copies, one for himself, one for Chen Kai to be reviewed by the chief director, and one for Xu Zheng and Ning Hao to refer to.

When printing the script, Song Zuer asked with some concern: "Do you really want to shoot this story?"

Lin Yuan leaned back on the chair and nodded: "Otherwise, why don't I shoot air force escorts? I'm not good at that kind of subject matter."

Song Zu'er opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"My Motherland and Me" has a total of seven unit dramas, six of which are about how powerful the motherland is now. Only Lin Yuan wants to film the lives of ordinary people. If this unit drama messes up, the consequences will be serious.

"What are you afraid of? The script is still finalized. Even if the filming is not ideal at that time, the worst is to concentrate on being my actor. Anyway, I am not going to transform into a director." Lin Yuan knew what she was worried about and looked straight at her. Song Zu'er said in relief.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had said that, Song Zuer didn't say much, anyway, all she could do was support Lin Yuan's choice unconditionally.

At the end of April, the box office of "Ready Player One" has basically been set. It is currently 19 billion. Even if it is released until the May Day holiday, it will hover around 20 billion at most.

Compared with Hollywood blockbusters such as "Black Panther", "A Quiet Place", and "Wreck-It Ralph", the box office of "Ready Player One" is much higher than the sum of these movies. It can be said that it is firmly seated at the domestic box office in April The throne of champions.

However, the arrival of the May [-]st schedule still caused a lot of impact.

In particular, the premiere of "Reunion 3" won a box office of 3.87 million, which directly caused the major media to change their direction, and began to use the words that previously praised "Ready Player One" on "Reunion [-]".

I can’t blame these media, no one thought that "Reunion III" would have such a great influence. You must know that when "Reunion II" was released, the box office on the first day was less than 3 million. Comparing the first-day box office results of The Player, however, the first-day box office of "Avengers [-]" has directly doubled!
No one knows the final box office results yet.

However, with the explosive box office results of "Ready Player One" and "Reunion III", many domestic film companies have turned their attention to sci-fi movies.

In the past, domestic sci-fi movies have been criticized by audiences, but there are only two points. One is that the special effects are too poor, and the other is that the plot is too ordinary, not as wild as foreign sci-fi movies.

Now that the domestic film market is so huge, major film companies can definitely invite Hollywood special effects teams to produce domestic sci-fi films.

No film company is willing to struggle with money. The box office results of previous films such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea" have proved that there is a market for main theme movies, so the major film companies have jointly produced a "Me and My "Motherland", science fiction movies are now very popular among audiences, and major film companies have set their sights on science fiction movies.

Just when film companies such as Huayi Brothers, Bona Films, and Enlight Media began to prepare sci-fi films, China Film did not hesitate to start the film that had already been approved - "The Wandering Earth"!
As early as 2012, China Film Corporation purchased the copyright of Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "The Wandering Earth". The director, from 2014 to now, has been looking for a partner.

Originally, China Film Group planned to start filming the movie "The Wandering Earth" after raising more investment.

But now the success of commercial sci-fi films such as "Ready Player One" and "Reunion 3" has directly aroused the interest of China Film Group Co., Ltd. They could not be the first to eat crabs in China Film.

I'm afraid the filmmakers in the circle never thought that the two imported commercial sci-fi films "Ready Player One" and "Reunion 3" would directly set off a frenzy of sci-fi movies in their country!
