Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 386 386. Box Office Explosion 【Subscription】

"My God, "King Kong" is so wonderful."

"I didn't expect that besides kung fu movies, monsters appeared in Huaguo."

"I can't believe this movie was made by a Chinese director."

"During the broadcast, the movie theater was full of incredible sounds of exclamation. We didn't expect that the movie made by the director of Huaguo is so wonderful..."

"After watching the movie, I bought a poster of Donkey Kong."

"My mood is a bit complicated. Before, I thought that the film development in Huaguo was not as good as ours in the West. After watching "King Kong" in the cinema, I couldn't help but wonder, has our country not made any progress in this period of time?"

"Indeed, it feels like others are catching up, but we are standing still."

"Hua Guo has been amazing in the past few years. Not only has the animation film progressed rapidly, but even the live-action film has developed so rapidly. Both me and my son like this work very much."

……

Donkey Kong is discussed on many forums.

The company responsible for distributing Donkey Kong was a little dumbfounded. They knew that the movie would be popular, but they never expected it to be so popular.

In their opinion, it would be good if "King Kong" can become a small hit.

who knows.

The other party directly touches the Marvel movie.

It's fine to touch porcelain, but the domestic audience seems to acquiesce to this fact.

It can be seen from the word of mouth.

"King Kong" is not only popular, but also has a good reputation.

monster movie.

Not only did the East buy it, Western audiences were also surprised and surprised by this type of film.

these surprises.

It has directly become the most powerful force to promote box office growth.

A week later.

The box office in the West has also been counted.

[-] theater promotions.

The results achieved are not worse than their local blockbusters.

So much so that some Western media had to focus on this orangutan from the East.

It was a national treasure that attracted the attention of these media last time!

just now.

Dongfang came in again with an orangutan.

"The Counterattack of Eastern Films."

"'King Kong' is a big hit in Hollywood."

"After "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Truman Show", this man broke the gap between East and West with an orangutan. The monster movie "King Kong" has attracted the attention of movie fans all over the country."

"Another oriental movie has become popular."

"Domestic blockbusters are facing the threat of oriental movies. A live-action movie that breaks 10 in a single theater within a week, after increasing the schedule. How much will "King Kong" get at the final box office?"

……

It was just dawn.

The Western media reported on the grand occasion of "King Kong" in the West.

And when the news came back to China.

The domestic media will not be dumbfounded.

But he was still shocked by the news.

He was not dumbfounded because this was not the first time Lu Chen performed a miracle.

As for being shocked, it is how much Western audiences like "King Kong".

This level of liking.

It seems to have surpassed "The Truman Show", which was definitely not so popular in the West before.

Although the box office is high.

But it definitely didn't attract so much media attention.

Truly a film that garnered so much media attention.

There are only three departments in China.

One is "Kung Fu Panda", the other is "King Kong" which is currently being screened, and the other is "The Truman Show".

"Donkey Kong is crazy in the West."

"So Westerners like to watch monsters?"

"I thought Hollywood would like superhero movies, but I didn't expect monster movies to be their favourites. Lu Chen is really good this time."

"Isn't it going to break the record I just created?"

"I don't know how much box office the West can have."

"After the appearance of Lu Chen, our domestic films have entered Hollywood frequently. I think Donkey Kong may become the second movie to hit the box office in Hollywood. The first is "Kung Fu Panda."

The so-called box office hit movie refers to domestic and foreign box office is similar.

If the main force of the box office is in China, it is not a big hit.

therefore.

Although Lu Chen made several films, they all achieved good results abroad.

But it was "The Truman Show" that caused the box office explosion.

Actually, "The Truman Show" doesn't count either.

"Kung Fu Panda" was not filmed by Lu Chen.

Therefore, it is not Lu Chen's.

Now, Donkey Kong has such a trend again, so.The domestic media was stunned.

Not only the domestic media were stunned.

Even Big Five was stunned.

I thought "The Truman Show" was Lu Chen's opponent's ceiling.

did not expect.

So soon, Lu Chen had a second spring.

It's too scary.

Judging from this popularity, it is very likely that Ugly Country will overthrow the trend of its local blockbusters on the mainland.

Not just ugly countries.

From England, France, and island countries around Asia.News reports from South Korea and many other countries have also been sent back to China one after another.

The momentum is very fierce.

The facts before us are.

This film raked in 18 billion at the box office in the first week in China, and it seems that it will rake in so much abroad.

This is no longer clear enough to reap a wave.

This not only makes the top five in the country depressed.

All the production companies in the world that have movies released in this schedule are also very depressed.

All the limelight was stolen by this gorilla.

Just grab it.

But the heat is too scary.

As for Jiaxing Media, they were overjoyed.

What many people don't know is.

Jiaxing Media is now in a time of economic crisis.

Now Donkey Kong harvests the whole world.

It not only showed off to the world's film industry.It is estimated that with the money earned from overseas and overseas, Jiaxing Media can finally return a wave of blood.

The amount of milk in this Donkey Kong is amazing.

Not only scared all the colleagues.

It also scared Zeng Jia and all the upper-level leaders of Jiaxing Media.

Of course, there is also Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was also surprised by the popularity of Donkey Kong abroad.

This reminded Lu Chen of what Liu Shishi asked him before.

Does Donkey Kong have a chance of surpassing "Titanic"?
There was none before.

Now words.

It seems that there is a slight possibility!
However, it is only a trace.

the next few days.

Good news from abroad spread back to China one after another, and the domestic media reposted it frantically like chicken blood.

I'm afraid that Chinese people don't know that Donkey Kong has attracted international attention.

"What the father of cinema."

"What a pioneer of domestic cinema."

Such a title was directly pressed on top of Lu Chen's head.

"What? Under his leadership, Huaguo's movies have been at the forefront of the world, and now we need to catch up. Lu Chen showed us the opportunity for Eastern movies to surpass Western movies..."

……

Same as domestic.

Foreign countries have also recognized Lu Chen as a world-class director.

Even because of Donkey Kong.

Lu Chen's overseas fan base instantly swelled.

He had many overseas fans before.

From the beginning of "Shark Beach" to the present, Lu Chen's overseas fans have always been in the accumulation stage.

Until now.

This group immediately grew larger.

This is also why Lu Chen dared to touch Ci's Marvel movies. He didn't have the strength to touch Ci's words randomly.

It's easy to get kicked back.

As for the distribution companies overseas, they saw Lu Chen's strength again through Donkey Kong.

Now that I have seen Lu Chen's strength.

Is it time to re-negotiate the ratio of the accounts?

Anyway, Lu Chen thinks so.

Zeng Jia's side is already gearing up for a big fight.

My boss can take you to make money.

Don't be too ugly when you eat.

In a word, because of the appearance of Donkey Kong.These distribution companies have to give up part of the box office profits to Jiaxing Media.

of course.

The other party can also refuse.

However, if we still cooperate with you, then maybe, your country is not the only distribution company.

Just change partners.

In a word, at this time.

The initiative is in the hands of Jiaxing Media.

of course.

Besides.

Some foreign production companies also approved these monster movies made by Lu Chen.

Saw the great potential of this genre of film.

They are all ready to pay for monster movies.

Whether it is in the domestic market or in foreign markets, monster movies have always been "able to play".

"King Kong" is the best example.

Not to mention this world, even in the last world, monster movies are quite capable.

For example, in 2014,
"Godzilla" won a total domestic box office of 4.81 million yuan, ranking 8th in the box office of imported movies that year;
In 2017, the box office of "King Kong: Skull Island" was 11.58 billion yuan, ranking 6th in the box office of imported movies that year;
In 2019, "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" had a box office of 9.37 million yuan, ranking seventh at the box office of imported movies that year.

Although the box office has fluctuated to a certain extent,
However, the "Monster Universe" trilogy ranked in the top ten of the imported movie box office that year.

Simply put, monster movies have a very wide audience.

Now, after the release of "King Kong".

Zhang Shou, an analyst at the Film Research Institute, introduced that monster movies are more popular genres besides comedies, especially when the number of blockbuster movies is relatively limited. The release of monster movies can mobilize the audience after the Spring Festival Movie enthusiasm.

Then the problem is coming.

Since monster movies are so popular, why are there so few domestic monster movies in theaters?
The reason is actually very simple.

Monster movies have high requirements for film production, especially special effects.

To create a successful image, it is necessary to fully understand and follow up the tastes of the audience, and requires mature IP operation thinking as support, which determines that the number of films of this type is relatively small compared with other films.

So, when I learned that several production companies in the West were planning to get involved in this genre.

Lu Chen didn't have the slightest worry at all.

Monster movies don't do that well.

Not everyone dares to shoot.

Of course, it's not that the production company dared to invest casually.

Lu Chen has become the first person to eat crabs.

As for the others.

No matter how good the shots are, they cannot escape the suspicion of following suit.

No matter how good the shot is.

When the media is touting, they will always add two words.

pay tribute!

This is the benefit of being the first to heat up the market.

Jiaxing Media.

Seeing the sensation "King Kong" caused overseas, the entire film department fell into great excitement, especially those staff members who still had doubts about Lu Chen's "Jurassic Park" project.

After seeing the achievement of "King Kong".

The doubt was instantly dispelled.

Before that, who would have thought that the market potential of monster movies would be so great?

This potential is not only great in China.

It is equally large abroad.

"Mr. Lu."

Liu Shishi brushed back a strand of long hair that covered her forehead, and said with a smile, "Now I should be considered an internationally famous actress."

"of course."

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

What kind of artist can be considered an international superstar.

In Lu Chen's view, there are three conditions.

The first is online acting skills, the second is great influence, and the third is high popularity.

Acting is the first ability an actor must show. Now many artists have gained huge fan traffic after debuting as singers or talent shows. The acting skills are really rubbish. Entering the film and television industry without professional training is simply irresponsible to the audience and an insult to the audience.

In the play, they can only be handsome, or have no expression on their faces, and some don't even memorize their lines, just shout "1234567", and then rely on post-dubbing.

Needless to say, the acting skills of these people, it is not easy to rely on their own hard work for many years to achieve their current achievements.

The second is that the influence is relatively large.

Speaking of influence, kung fu stars such as Uncle Long and Li Lianjie worked very hard in the early Xiangcheng movies, and they were often injured during the filming process, so as they got older, the new dramas they filmed gradually decreased. Li Lianjie has basically stopped filming film and television dramas due to physical reasons, and the frequency of Uncle Long's filming is also less and less.

Compared with when they were young, there has been a big change. The fighting scenes in their previous movies were very exciting, and there were also many dangerous moves. Uncle Long’s movies are famous for their thrills, while Li Lianjie’s moves are clean and beautiful, each with its own style. characteristics, so it is very popular with the audience.

Later, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie also entered Hollywood, allowing Huaguo's kung fu movies to go to the world, and their influence was very large.

Finally, it is relatively well-known.

Popularity is also an important reference standard. A current traffic star can easily have tens of millions of fans, such as the fourth son of returning home.

However, the movies and TV shows rarely have a good reputation. They are all judged as bad acting skills. Apart from their appearance, they have no advantages. This kind of traffic artists are gradually changing the audience's aesthetic tendency. The idols in the minds of young audiences are highly praised by fans when they suffer a little injury or endure a little hardship during the filming process. They have absolutely no morals that actors should have.

Uncle Long and the others are loved by audiences from other countries in many programs, and many Hollywood actors are fans of Jackie Chan. It can be seen that popularity is also a criterion for whether an actor can be called international influence.

Now,

Liu Shishi barely fulfilled the condition.

But if you want to compare with Uncle Long and the others, it's obviously not comparable.

Very simple.

Sudden fire and fire for a lifetime.

Who has the higher status?

Don't think about it, it must be Uncle Long and the others.

of course,

This is not Liu Shishi's final achievement, the future is still early!
If Liu Shishi is willing to calm down and focus on acting and the like.

It's not impossible to go further up.

but.

Lu Chen felt that this possibility was really unlikely.

He still knows what level his wife is.

This is basically the limit.

Nor is it a limit.

I can play Ann.

It can only be said to be a coincidence.

Lu Chen's character design directly fell to Liu Shishi.

It's no wonder that the acting is not good.

……

The second week ends.

Recently, Liu Shishi has been paying attention to the box office of "King Kong". After watching the box office of "King Kong" in the second week, bypassing the complicated numbers, Liu Shishi's breathing became short of breath.

Domestic box office for the second week: 182354!

The box office of the second week abroad: 186543!

The unit is ten thousand.

This is the so-called triggering overseas box office explosion.

The second week of "King Kong",

Overseas box office is still more than domestic.

Whether abroad or domestically, "King Kong" has created a box office miracle.

And such a miracle.

There was only one "Kung Fu Panda" in Huaguo before.

Whirring whirring……

Just a few minutes.

Liu Shishi regained his excitement and looked at his man.

She asked curiously: "The box office of "King Kong" should surpass that of "Kung Fu Panda", right?"

"A little bit."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "However, it's just a matter of a day or two."

"Director Luo is probably going to cry." Liu Shishi said with some embarrassment.

"No." Lu Chen shook his head.

"That's right, Director Luo definitely wants to take "Kung Fu Panda 2" to the top again!!"

"He won't pull a strong man again, will he?"

Liu Shishi said with a smile: "I will do the dubbing of "Kung Fu Panda 1". It would not be good not to go to "Kung Fu Panda 2", so I will. Besides, who would refuse such a project?"

Lu Chen nodded slightly!
This is true.

……

Back in her office, Zeng Jia ran into Lu Chen's office with a happy face: "Boss, we should be able to talk about the release conference."

"Then congratulations!"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Let's talk about it, maybe we will use it soon, Luo Zhen's "Kung Fu Panda 2" is already finishing, and Jiang Yu's "Fast and Furious 2" is also coming to an end." The countdown has entered, since we can talk, let's talk."

"Boss, you are amazing."

Zeng Jia said with emotion: "I didn't expect that "King Kong" would achieve such a successful overseas box office. Even the co-distributors were stunned. Although they were upset, they did not immediately refuse."

"They have no reason to refuse."

Lu Chen said: "It is conceivable that my ranking is likely to rise again. It is not the right choice to offend such a potential stock like me, especially since my filming speed is still so fast, they will not choose to offend us. .”

"So, this time I'm going to use this as a breakthrough point to let them lower the share."

"up to you."

Lu Chen didn't care about this.

He wasn't very good at these things.
