my movie years

Chapter 247
In foreign countries, "The Dark Knight" mainly relies on the word-of-mouth accumulated in the front seat and the super high quality of the film to attract audiences.

But in China, Zhang Hao's strong box office appeal is the most important.

Also on Douban, "The Dark Knight" received super high ratings, losing to "Shawshank's Redemption" with a score of 9.6, ranking second on Douban's TOP250 list.

Douban has always automatically deducted one point for domestic films, unless it is filming the dark side of human nature, or filming various dark ecological environments in China, in order to get a high score.

But there is an exception, that is Zhang Hao, he escaped this conclusion.

Zhang Hao's films always get good scores here, so that Douban is called Hao Valve or Zhang Valve.

Most of Zhang Hao's most loyal fans are also concentrated on Douban, defending to the death the high scores of his favorite director's works.

As it happens, "The Dark Knight" has three characteristics.

The first one, "The Dark Knight" is directed by Zhang Hao, and fans of Zhang Hao on Douban will naturally give it a high score.

Second, "The Dark Knight" is a Hollywood film with a natural advantage.

The third one, "The Dark Knight"'s choice about the dark side of human nature, almost made all Douban netizens climax.

Despair breeds hope, but darkness does not despair, which has won numerous praises from Douban netizens.

Ever since, "The Dark Knight" has been scoring out of [-] for a week at the beginning, and then slowly dropped some scores.

At this moment, Zhang Hao's fans are on the move...

In order to slow down the decline of "The Dark Knight", they constantly mobilized their friends, colleagues and classmates around to give "The Dark Knight" high marks and other films low marks.

This time, it angered fans of other films.

Fans of "Farewell My Concubine", "Forrest Gump", "This Killer Is Not So Cold", "Titanic", "The Shawshank Redemption" and other films began to take action to protect the scores and rankings of their films.

Of course, Zhang Hao's fans were not to be outdone, and immediately fought with the fans of these films, and the two sides smeared each other.

However, Zhang Hao's fan base is relatively large, and it is inevitable that some weird and mixed people will be mixed in.

Zhang Hao's fans on the Internet are known as Billion Hao Fans.

Whether it is domestic or foreign, especially in China, Zhang Hao's invincibility theory is widely publicized in various forums and post bars.

Such as what:
"For 500 years, only director Zhang Hao was at the forefront of the times."

"Zhang Hao punched James Cameron, kicked Spielberg, and crushed the national teacher with one finger."

"The world's director Zhang Hao is the only one, and the rest can be arranged casually."

Waiting for the speeches to emerge in endlessly.

To put it bluntly, some fanatical Zhang Hao fans on the Internet simply worship him like a god.

Zhang Hao himself felt a little blushed and even a little disgusted when he heard these flattering words, not to mention fans of other films, fans of other directors, and many passers-by and netizens who were irritated.

As well as the majority of sunspots who hate Zhang Hao, as well as the sailors who received a job dedicated to discrediting Zhang Hao.

So no surprise, although the fans who claim to be one billion Hao fans are indeed strong, but there are not one billion people after all, and they have to retreat in the face of so many anti-Zhang Hao alliances.

So "The Shawshank Redemption" made a profit for the second time, and once again reached the top of Douban.

However, "The Dark Knight" held the second position, and it was considered a success not to give "Farewell My Concubine" a chance to surpass it again.

So far, except for the two early works of Zhang Hao, "Manslaughter" and "Genius Gunner", which have not been included in the Douban TOP250 list, all other works directed by Zhang Hao are on the list.

"The Dark Knight" ranked second with 9.6 points, and "The Undertaker" ranked No.9.1 with 19 points.

Other films such as "Batman: Beginning", "Gravity", "Butterfly Effect", and "The Prestige" all scored above 8.5 points, and were also successfully selected into the TOP250 list.

Douban scores do not necessarily represent the real quality of the film, so many works have received high scores, to a certain extent, it reflects that all Zhang Hao's works are indeed of high quality.

It's no wonder he has so many fans, and even among some young fans, there is a saying that if you don't like Zhang Hao's movies, you are a vulgar person.

Except for a few people, I am afraid that most young people don't want to admit that they are vulgar and can't keep up with the trend.

Thus, Zhang Hao, like those brothers, became the top streamer in the traffic culture.

It's just that his top class is a bit special, he is a talented director, and he relies on his talent to make a living, so he is less scolded.

Brothers are miserable, apart from a face, they are useless.

In addition to the fans, passers-by also don't have a good sense of the brothers, and from time to time there are all kinds of brain-dead fans acting as monsters, and there are various negative news about the brothers themselves.

Therefore, life is not easy for the brothers, and they are under a lot of mental pressure.

Although my brother earns a lot of money, most of it is earned for capital, and then he has to bear all kinds of foul language from netizens.

No one is crazy, I guess no one can stand it, people scold themselves every day on the Internet!

"The Dark Knight" has ended its journey, and it is estimated that it will show up in the awards season after that, and nothing will happen after that.

After that, the film will be active on the list, and decades later, people will relive this classic super-English film in film history.

The thinking that "The Dark Knight" brings to the film industry is far more than that. After the success of "The Dark Knight", many Hollywood companies announced various new projects, all of which are close to "The Dark Knight" in style.

As for how many of them will be successful, it is a matter of opinion.

When he was busy with post-production, Zhang Hao was not idle. He was invited to participate in a meeting of Penguin Group executives on peripheral development.

"Today's meeting is about the development of our penguin peripheral industries.

Now the development of surrounding industries is getting better and better, and the related industrial chain is expanding continuously. It is already a blue ocean worth investing in. I would like to hear your opinions.

For this reason, I specially invited director Zhang Hao over here, and I also ask everyone to listen to his views. "

After everyone exchanged opinions, Penguin's senior leaders asked Zhang Hao: "Director Zhang, you are very familiar with the film business and have worked closely with us at Penguin. Come and give us your opinion."

Zhang Hao, who sat at the end, listened carefully to the entire meeting and everyone's speeches, and said at this time: "Generally speaking, everyone's opinions are very correct."

All the executives thought to themselves, good guy, Director Zhang's kicking skills have been used here.

"However..." Zhang Hao changed the subject, "I think I can offer some advice on the peripheral development of the film, Xiao Tang..."

Tang Xiqian, Zhang Hao's assistant, sent the information she brought to the Penguin executives and asked them to read it.

While the executives were looking at this information, Zhang Hao also said: "This is the data of all peripheral revenue of "The Dark Knight". I specifically asked Warner for it."

When the executives who were still absent-minded heard that it was the peripheral income data of "The Dark Knight", they immediately became more serious.

Zhang Hao went on to explain: "It can be seen that the peripheral income of "The Dark Knight" includes several aspects, copyright income, image licensing income, comic derivatives, model props sharing income, etc.

In the future, based on the super popular IP of Batman, there will be derivative series production, game production, graphic novels and so on.

As far as I know, Warner's TV drama department is planning to develop the "Gotham" series and also develop the new "Batman: Arkham City" game.

These are all derivative benefits brought about by the big sale of "The Dark Knight". "

Some executives questioned: "However, Zhang Dao, it's not that I doubt it, it's just that you know the environment in our country, and there is also a lack of big IP."

Zhang Hao shook his head and said: "No, I remember that you have, you just acquired China Literature, and they have a lot of influential IPs in their hands, this is a treasure trove.

How to develop and utilize these IPs, you are more familiar with these businesses than me, so I will not talk about them. "

Zhang Hao drank his saliva and continued: "I'll just talk about the IP of "The Wandering Earth", you also participated in the investment of this movie, so you know the situation of this project very well.

If "The Wandering Earth" succeeds in the film market, there will be a lot of peripheral income in the future.

Just like "The Dark Knight", derivative series, in addition to the story of the protagonist, the stories of other supporting characters, and even the stories of ordinary people in the context of the wandering earth, are worth developing.

In terms of games, a game development based on the world view, RPG or ARPG games are all selling points, as well as book setting sets, props, etc., there are countless. "

When it comes to games, Penguin executives in charge of the game department's eyes light up. They seem to think of the research and development of krypton gold online games and mobile games.

Zhang Dao deserves to be Zhang Dao, this opinion is very good.

As for Zhang Hao, if he is speaking as a game fan, he may be suspected of ruining a good IP by letting Penguin develop the game.

After all, Penguin Games knows everything, and if you don't use Xin, you can't even think about being happy.

But in fact, domestic game manufacturers, either Penguin or Netease, can't find Mihayou to develop it. Mihayou's "Yuanshin" is still in the PPT stage.

Zhang Hao has no cooperative relationship with Netease, so it can only be Penguin.

In a meeting about peripheral development, Zhang Hao described a bright future for Penguin executives.

Although the prospect is bright, the road is tortuous.

If you want to gain something, you must pay something. The development of this kind of peripheral channels must pay a lot of resources.

After the meeting with Penguin, Zhang Hao also completed all the post-production of "Knives Out" before the National Day, and the film officially entered the stage of submission for review and scheduling.

At this time, Shen Teng's new film "Charlotte Annoyance", who is the second male lead of "Knives Out", was officially released.

Before the release, the market was not optimistic about this comedy film, but was more optimistic about "囧囧 in Hong Kong" and "Nine-story Demon Tower", which were released at the same time, as well as "Save Mr. Me".

However, the facts have proved that comedies have the ability to make big gains from small ones, and "Charlotte Annoyance" became a dark horse in the market as soon as it was released.

Shen Teng also became famous in the first battle and began to enter the field of vision of more audiences.
