my movie years

Chapter 324
Despite the impact of various negative news such as parental reports and plagiarism of "Red Pepper", the entire month of May was still dominated by "Inception".

In terms of film arrangement in theaters, in the theaters under China Film and Poly, the percentage has never been lower than 30.00% throughout May.

The attendance rate is also good, with an average of around [-]-[-]%.

The IMAX theater is exclusive to Wanda Cinemas, and it is well known that Wanda CEO Wang Yiwan admires Zhang Hao very much.

Although Young Master Cong always objected to his father always comparing himself with Zhang Hao, deep down in his heart he still admired Zhang Hao's talent very much.

After all, Cong Shao said on Weibo that he and Zhang Hao are the few clean people in the entertainment industry.

Although there is suspicion of putting gold on his face, it is enough to prove that Young Master Cong appreciates Zhang Hao.

Therefore, in the IMAX theater of Wanda Cinema, "Inception" has always maintained a high ranking.Unfortunately, the film is 2D, not 3D.

Although Zhang Hao is considered very young in the director industry, his style seems to be very old-fashioned.

I like film, I like real shots, and I like 2D format.

So far, only one "Gravity" has been filmed, which is a 3D movie.

In fact, the performance of 3D movies in recent years has not been very good. There are too many movies that are obviously not suitable for 3D, but they are made into 3D.

The most obvious example is "The Bourne Shadow 5", which was a 2D movie abroad, but turned into a 3D movie in China.

The picture looked extremely dim and made people dizzy.

Zhang Hao also said in previous interviews that "Inception" is actually his 007 movie, or a Bourne movie.

Look carefully, the Inception team in the film is very much like a team of secret agents.

Of course, throughout May, "Inception" is not without rivals. Not to mention "Guardians of the Galaxy 2", India's Bollywood's word-of-mouth masterpiece "Let's Wrestle!"Dad" is also very popular.

Most of the movies that the Ah Sans make are awkward, but occasionally they have a flash of inspiration, and they can still make good works.

But even so, it still didn't knock "Inception" off the top box office.

It wasn't until May 26, when the Disney blockbuster, the sequel to the classic adventure classic movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" was released, that "Inception" fell from the single-day and weekly box office champion.

But the film is also enough. As of May 31, "Inception" has won a box office of 39.88 billion in the mainland market.

It's a pity that if it weren't for the impact of negative news, "Inception" would have broken the box office record set by "The Martian".

Now there is still a chance, the film has once again obtained the postponement key, and it can be screened until August. It is not a big problem to surpass "The Martian".

While "Inception" was making great strides, another film "Wolf Warrior 2" invested by Tianmi Film and Television Production Company had already completed all production.

In Wu Jing's Dengfeng International studio, Zhang Hao also saw this military action movie in advance.

"What's the effect?" After reading it, Wu Jing asked Zhang Hao nervously.

Zhang Hao replied with satisfaction: "It's a mature commercial film, the action scenes are very exciting, and the patriotism is not bad."

"Then what do you think of the film's market prospects?" Wu Jing asked.

"It's hard to say, but I think there should be no problem with profitability." Zhang Hao replied.

"Then I can rest assured..." Wu Jing heaved a sigh of relief.

Zhang Hao is really not sure about the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2". In his previous life, "Wolf Warrior 2" was able to cut 56 billion at the box office. There are many factors.

The biggest reason, Zhang Hao thinks, is that the audience hasn't seen a high-quality film that respects him for too long.

You know, at this time in the previous life, domestic movies were almost rampant.

Although bad comedies and dog-blood youth films have achieved quite good box office results.But in the commercial success after another, it is the patience of the audience that wears down.

Audiences have their own judgments. Even if they can't tell whether a movie is good or bad for a while, they will naturally have a standard after watching it a lot.

It would be fine if the market was full of films like "Tiny Times", but there was a "Wolf Warrior 2".

From a movie point of view, this is a qualified theater blockbuster with high quality and good completion.

But comparing the film with the classic films with famous names in film history, it is not enough to watch.

But such a film unexpectedly exploded in the market and became the number one box office film in mainland China.It was beyond everyone's expectations to make it into the top ten list of the global annual box office.

It can be seen that in the past few years, the audience was tortured enough by bad movies, so that the subconscious used this method to accuse the bad movies of the harm they caused to themselves.

But that was the previous life, and now, it's a bit mysterious.

Because there is one more person: Zhang Hao...

If you want to talk about Zhang Hao's impact on the Chinese film industry, apart from being a world-class director and making one film a year, there seems to be nothing.

Bad comedies and goofy youth films are still rampant in the market, and the big wave of the traffic era is still extremely turbulent.

But it would be wrong to say that it has no effect.

At least, in an era of endless bad movies, at least the audience has seen what a really good movie should look like.

This has led to Zhang Hao virtually becoming a quality benchmark in the Chinese-language film circle. There is a word of mouth among movie fans: Zhang Hao's production must be a high-quality product.

This sentence also represents the audience's trust, which to some extent protects the audience's confidence in Chinese-language films.

Zhang Hao's works also filled in the gaps. After all, Zhang Hao has already made sci-fi films, so there is nothing else he can't figure out.

Therefore, the release of "Wolf Warrior 2" at this time is no longer enough to cause the shock of the previous life, because there is Zhang Hao.

But the quality of the film is much higher than in the previous life. After all, Zhang Hao provided Wu Jing with a lot of advice, and he fully supported Wu Jing in the production.

So looking at it now, it shouldn't be a problem for "Wolf Warrior 2" to get a box office of 30 billion.

But in this way, it will take a few years for domestic films to break through the 50 billion box office, because it is difficult for "Inception" to get the 50 billion box office.

That's good, Zhang Hao is the first director to break through the 50 box office, and he has to break through the [-] billion box office record.

Although the mainland market can no longer exceed 50 billion dollars, it is very hopeful that "Inception" will break through [-] billion dollars worldwide.

Including the mainland market, the film has already won a box office of 8.1 million U.S. dollars in the Asian market, and the mainland market alone contributed 5.69 million U.S. dollars in box office.

The other biggest contributors are the small daily market, which won 1.15 million US dollars, the Korean market contributed 0.62 million US dollars, and the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets contributed 0.64 million US dollars.

Although this achievement is shocking, the media is not surprised by the fact that "The Martian" is ahead of the competition.

Everyone now believes that Zhang Hao deserves such box office results.

It would be strange if it couldn't get this box office result one day.

In the Asian market, it has reached the stage of accumulating box office through a long show time.The next focus is the European and American markets.

In order to promote "Inception", Zhang Hao brought Hua Tsai and Huang Xiaoming together, and under the arrangement of Warner, they appeared on several talk shows in North America.

In "The Allen Show", the host Allen and Zhang Hao chatted about the sequel to Batman.

This is also normal, although the movie "Inception" is very good, but it is a Chinese movie after all, so there is no latest Batman news to attract people.

"Zhang, is there really a plan for Batman's sequel?"

"Of course there is. In fact, I have discussed with Doug Walter (CEO of Warner Pictures) several times, and I have planned to start this year and meet with the audience next summer."

"Wow!" The audience exclaimed.Then there was applause,

Sure enough, Batman is more attractive to them, and everyone is looking forward to the final chapter of Batman's story.

Allen continued to ask: "As we all know, this is the last part of the Batman trilogy, and "Wonder Woman" produced by Warner Pictures will also be released in June, and they plan to launch the DC movie universe project.

What I want to ask is, have you considered adding Batman to the DC movie universe? "

"Actually, from the very beginning, I told Warner Pictures that the entire trilogy is a side story that is separated from the DC comic universe and will not be related to the DC movie universe." Zhang Hao replied.

"So, you wouldn't consider directing a DC movie, and Christian Bale wouldn't be Batman in a DC movie?"

"Well, I don't know if Christian is interested or not, but my schedule is already full, and I won't direct DC movies." Zhang Hao said truthfully.

"Alas!" The auditorium sighed again, regretting that Zhang Hao could not direct DC movies.

In fact, if Zhang Hao wants to develop in Hollywood, then DC movies are a good choice. With the reputation accumulated in the "Batman" series, Warner will give him priority.

But the DC movie is a big pit. Zach Snyder is subject to Warner and cannot complete this project. Zhang Hao doesn't think he can either.

The topic stopped here, and in the following programs, Zhang Hao and the host chatted about various interesting things about the filming of "Inception".

In addition, under the arrangement of Warner Pictures, the behind-the-scenes production special about "Inception" was also uploaded to YouTube, which received millions of hits and views.

In addition, Warner also mobilized its media to vigorously promote this super masterpiece that caused a sensation in Asia.

For North American audiences who don't care about the world, even if they don't care anymore, they will hear that there is a Chinese film that has created good results.

What's more, Cameron James, Xiao Li, Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger and other well-known Hollywood directors and actors have all said good things about "Inception".

Sufficient publicity has always been a magic weapon for commercial films to sell well.

In this day and age, the saying that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys has long been out of fashion.If the publicity is not done well, no matter how high the quality of the film is, it may hit the street.

In addition to being on the show, according to the scheduled plan, there is also a road show, and the first stop is Los Angeles.

"Inception" also made history. This is the first time that a Chinese-language film has gone abroad for publicity.

Hollywood movies can hold their premieres in the mainland, and Chinese-language movies can also hold roadshows overseas.As expected, the roadshow will achieve good results.

Because many fans of Zhang Hao in North America have been looking forward to Zhang Hao's promotion in North America for a long time.

So far, Zhang Hao is the only one who can achieve this level. Other Chinese films still need to work hard if they want to be welcomed to this level.

One thing worth paying attention to is that when interviewing North American movie fans beforehand, many North American movie fans thought that Zhang Hao, like Lin Yibin, director of the "Fast and Furious" series, or Ang Lee, was an American and a Hollywood director.

Then Zhang Hao was inevitably sliced, and these interview videos were sent back to China, which became "strong evidence" that Zhang Hao is an American.

Of course, Zhang Hao is used to this kind of boring slander.

This saying by Americans has long been circulated on the Internet.Every once in a while it gets hyped up and turns out to be useless.

After all, Zhang Hao should get rich and popular.

Of course, Zhang Hao's public relations team is not without action.Every time someone brings up the issue of Zhang Hao's nationality, the public relations team will divert the conflict.

The reason is simple, Zhang Hao is not an American, this is a rumor.

But someone yeah, big guys can go to them.

For example, Brother Toothpick, although he is not an American, but there are many differences between Canada and the United States.

Considering the friendship with Sister Shenxian, every time the issue of nationality was brought up, the public relations team did not mention Sister Shenxian.

Over time, netizens didn't pay much attention to Zhang Hao's nationality issue.

Even if it is true, Zhang Hao is a director after all, and he speaks through his works.As long as the work is okay, it doesn't matter much.

What's more, Zhang Hao has always been a native of Miaohong.

If he wasn't a local, how could he be received by the big leader in the great hall and even present him with an award in person.
