my movie years

Chapter 282 Explosions in Other Places
In a movie theater in Tokyo, Kyoko finished her hard work as a working dog and finally went to watch a movie with her sisters while she was off work.

"That perverted supervisor, he actually wanted to molest me, can his thing work?" Kyoko and her sisters complained about their perverted supervisor.

The sisters laughed and said, "Xingzi, I think you might as well obey him, maybe your promotion report will be passed."

"Don't even think about it," Kyoko raised her pretty eyebrows, and Kazilan's big eyes were bigger than AB's.

Looking at the poster of "The Martian" at the entrance of the cinema, Kyoko said again, "If it's Zhang Sang, I would."

The sister laughed again: "Don't think about it, Zhang Sang is already married, and I heard that his wife is already pregnant."

"I don't ask to be with him, even if it's just a one-night stand, I'm satisfied." Xingzi said longingly.

The sisters looked at Xingzi's nympho, shook their heads and said helplessly, "Xingzi, you are hopeless."

The movie started soon. After Xingzi entered the theater, she found that the attendance rate in the theater was still very high, about [-]%.

After "The Martian" was released on a small day, it caused a great sensation.

Why do you say that?
It is because of the excellent quality of the film, it is really outstanding, so outstanding that it is not at the level that an Asian director can shoot.

Because of Zhang Hao's fame and appeal in China, people ignore the excellent quality of "The Martian".

In contrast, although there are many fans of Zhang Hao in Little Days, most ordinary fans are very objective, even with a scrutiny standpoint.

From an objective point of view, fans of Little Days have noticed the super high quality of the film.

Coupled with the fact that this is a Chinese-language sci-fi movie made by a Chinese director, it arouses the curiosity of fans of Little Days even more.

So word of mouth spread with curiosity, after all, this is a market of more than 1 million people.Before the rise of the Chinese film market, the Little Days market has always been the second largest film market in the world.

Among other things, if this market can be conquered, the overseas revenue of Chinese-language films will also be a considerable figure.

However, when Chinese-language movies were at their most glorious in the childhood, it happened to be the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies.Now, there are really not many Chinese-language movies that can become popular here in the small days, and Zhang Hao's movie is one of them.

Xingzi and her sisters enjoyed this Chinese-language sci-fi masterpiece together. They watched the Chinese version, and only Chinese-language movies have the original taste.

"The Martian" released on Little Days has three language versions, Chinese, English, and Japanese.

The Japanese version was introduced by a local film company and was dubbed by someone. Ma Juemin, played by Zhang Yi, was dubbed by well-known actor Masato Sakai.

The English version is dubbed by the producer himself, mainly because some dubbings are likely to cause ambiguity in translation.

"Xingzi, the movie is so exciting, let's watch it again tomorrow!" the sister suggested.

Xingzi nodded and said, "Well, okay, let's watch the IMAX version again tomorrow. There was a shot of Zhang Sang in the movie just now. I want to watch it a few more times."

The sisters held hands and bounced back together.

Since its release on April 29, "The Martian" has grossed US$1670.6 million on its first day, successfully winning the top box office of the day.

I remember Zhang Hao’s Chinese-language film. The last time the box office was more than 1013.6 million in a single day was "Gravity", which earned 3065.7 million US dollars at the box office on the first day and [-] million US dollars at the box office in the first week, creating a record for Chinese-language films at that time. .

It can be said that "Gravity" has a global box office of 4.8 million US dollars. Apart from the mainland market, the most important contribution is the small life market.

The same is true for "The Martian" this time. The film achieved good results on the first day, and even scored a box office of 4764.5 million US dollars in the first week.

This box office result once again broke the record set by "Gravity".

The most important thing is that almost all the mainstream media, except the rightist media, gave "The Martian" a good review.

"A super director from China is coming with a brand-new sci-fi masterpiece. The film is so exciting that it is definitely worth going to the IMAX cinema." - "Asahi Shimbun"

"Zhang Sang has become a leading figure in Chinese-language films, and in time, he will definitely become a representative figure in Asian films." - "NHK Television"

""The Martian" continues to create good box office results. From this film, we can also get a glimpse of the opposite aerospace strength. There is a big gap, and we need to catch up." - "The Island".

The movie-watching wave caused by "The Martian" in the small days caused a sensation in the public opinion circle, and the same thing happened in South Korea.

Despite the small size of South Korea, the film consumption capacity is not weak. Zhang Hao's "The Dark Knight" once scored a box office of 7700 million US dollars here.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" also grossed $2 million in South Korea, more than "The Dark Knight."

However, the above two films are both Hollywood films, and Chinese films have never achieved such a high score.

"Gravity" stopped at 3165.8 million U.S. dollars. It is by far the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in South Korea except "The Untold Secret".

Jay Chou's "The Unspeakable Secret" has always been very popular in South Korea. After several re-screenings, it has already received a box office of 3670 million US dollars.

And this situation has changed with the release of "The Martian".

Zhang Hao's popularity in South Korea has always been very high, and his films usually achieve good results in South Korea.

Moreover, many Korean super popular idol female stars are his fans, and they frequently show their love boldly on the show.

But Zhang Hao is not very interested in these idol actresses, except for Song Yuner...

When he was interviewed by Korean media last time, Zhang Hao said that the Korean actress he admired the most was Song Yuner.

This time Song Yuner deliberately took her family to the cinema to watch "The Martian".

After watching the movie, Song Yuner accepted the media interview: "I watched the movie, and I feel that the movie is really good, I like it very much.

I have always wanted to cooperate with director Zhang Hao. I don’t know if I have this opportunity. I also look forward to participating in the road show of the crew of "The Martian" in Seoul. "

Other Korean actors watched Song Yuner's interview and scolded this old woman for being shameless. If you want to cooperate, don't we want to cooperate?

But there are very few opportunities to cooperate with Zhang Hao. After all, even the Chinese film circle can't digest his film projects.

Although it is quite normal for Korean actors to go to the mainland to film in the past few years, Yoona Lin just made "War God Zhao Zilong"!

Zheng Zhixun also collaborated with Tang Yan in "Carat Lover", not to mention the earlier Zhang Nala, her "The Unruly Princess" is also a classic of the generation.

But such a good time will not last long, and soon the higher authorities will restrict Korean artists or film and television works from coming to China.

Prior to this, it did not affect the success of The Martian at the local box office in South Korea.

Released on April 29, the film grossed US$787.9 million on its first day in South Korea and US$2150.6 million in its first week, successfully breaking the first-week box office record for a Chinese-language film in South Korea.

Because the market is small, and South Korea itself produces a large number of movies every year, the time for a movie in Korean theaters is actually very short.

Moreover, most of Zhang Hao's movie fans were attracted to the cinema in the first week, which is why the first week's box office was so high.

After the opening week, box office declines remained healthy.According to this curve, "The Martian" can surpass the box office record of "The Untold Secret" in South Korea.

It is worth mentioning that, two days earlier than "The Martian", "Captain America 3" was released in South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan on April 4.

On April 4, "Captain America 29" also landed in Japan.

However, "Captain America 3" swept the world, but was stubbornly attacked by "The Martian" in Japan and South Korea.

Needless to say, in the small days, the super-English movie desert and any Marvel movie will not work here, so "The Martian" easily suppresses "Captain America 3".

In the South Korean market, "Captain America 3" was released two days earlier than "The Martian" and earned $2890.5 million in its first-week box office, beating out "The Martian".

But without "The Martian", "Captain America 3" should have a much higher box office in its first week.

Perhaps it is the success of "The Dark Knight", defeating "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" head-on, which makes this "Captain America 3" slightly deviate from the previous life in terms of content.

How should I put it, the film has become a little heavier. This film looks back at the past when Iron Man's parents were killed, and explores the past of the superhero character's heart.

Then Iron Man and Captain America broke up because of the Winter Soldier and the Super British Act, and the two broke up.

Although there are still a lot of gags and tricks, but more of this is handed over to the newly joined Spider-Man and Ant-Man.

This kind of movie-watching process is undoubtedly a bit painful. Although critics have praised it as Marvel's best movie, the box office performance is not as good as in previous lives.

Of course, Disney doesn't know it yet, and they're still happy about their shrewd decisions.

Robert Iger is about to retire, and the new president of Disney has fully dominated "Captain America 3", and Kevin Feige has been marginalized.

Although the dominance of Marvel movies is still in the hands of Kevin Feige, it is because of the glory of Marvel movies in the past that Kevin Feige has accumulated a lot of prestige.

It is foreseeable that if Kevin Feige makes a slight mistake, the new president can leave him idle and support his own people to control Marvel.

After all, Kevin Feige is Robert Iger's man.

Disney and Marvel aside, in short, the expectations of "Captain America 3" in Asia did not meet expectations.

"Captain America 3" was released in the mainland on May 5th. At that time, "The Martian" was still in a strong period. It is estimated that the performance of "Captain America 6" was not as strong as expected.

The main reason is that Disney is used to being strong. The troubles caused by "The Dark Knight" before were not enough to remind them that Zhang Hao is not a simple character.

Perhaps Disney believes that Zhang Hao, who has left the Hollywood system, will not perform as strongly as he directed the Batman movie.

It is this kind of thinking bias that has given Disney a sap.
