my movie years

Chapter 326
"Hou Li Crab, this Chinese director is really amazing, is he human?"

"I like the movie "Inception" so much, it surpasses most Hollywood movies."

"This movie changed my view of the mysterious country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Zhang is really an amazing director."

"I can't imagine that in the era when we are dominated by super-English movies and sequel movies, there are many good movies from countries across the Pacific, last year's "The Martian" and this year's "Inception."

"Man, to be honest, the director of both movies is the same person, so is it possible that he is just amazing."

"You're right, man, Zhang is really an amazing director..."

Judging from the evaluations of European and American netizens, even if Chinese-language movies have not conquered these audiences, Zhang Hao and his works are definitely worthy of their expectations.

During the road show, Zhang Hao also arranged for a researcher to do a local market survey by the way.

The survey results show that among the audience who have watched "Inception", nearly [-]% of the audience will definitely watch Zhang Hao's next work.

And [-]% of the audience chose to watch the word-of-mouth decision, and the remaining [-]% ​​said they would not go to the cinema to support Zhang Hao's new movie.

You must know that this is not Zhang Hao's headquarters, but in the North American market, a foreign country far away from the mainland.

And "Inception" is not a Hollywood film, and no Hollywood movie stars participated, so the survey data can be said to be very good.

The ones who have benefited the most, besides the director Zhang Hao, are several leading actors.

Especially Hua Tsai, calling him an international superstar in the past was somewhat misleading.But now there is no problem. Through "Inception", many European and American audiences have gotten to know this charismatic Chinese movie star.

The film made great strides in North America, and it was not bad in Europe. The UK earned $1220.9 million in the first week, France $1574.2 million, Germany $2146.4 million, Italy $985.2 million, and Russia $1142.5 million.

Coupled with other scattered markets in Europe, the film cut $8244.6 million in the first week of its release in Europe.

"Inception", which had already disappeared from the top [-] of the global box office rankings, returned to the top [-] due to the strength of the North American and European markets, and even won the third global weekly box office championship.

On the European media side, the British "Times" evaluated the film as an unprecedented film.

This does not only refer to the commercial performance of the film, but because of its super high film quality, which is loved by different groups of movie fans.

Indeed, a movie is not only liked by domestic audiences, but also North American and European audiences can enjoy it without barriers, and it has truly achieved global popularity.

The French "Cinema" magazine even praised "Inception" as the best film made by a Chinese-language film director so far.

This statement must be controversial, after all, there are countless classic film works in the history of Chinese film.

Among other things, several of Zhang Hao's own works can compete with "Inception".It's just that in terms of box office results, "Inception" is indeed a bit fierce.

Zhang Hao's personal best work, most fans voted "The Dark Knight". After all, it ranked first on Douban and second on IMDB.

However, "The Dark Knight" is not a Chinese film after all, so at present, "Inception" can be called the masterpiece of Zhang Hao's Chinese film works.

The film was so popular that Zhang Hao had expected it, but he still didn't expect the film's achievement.

Before "Inception" was released in Europe and America, the film had already won 8.86 million box office.

On May 31, the film had already grossed 8.1 million US dollars at the box office, and it only got 7600 million box office this month.

But this is also normal, and it is not "Avatar" and "Titanic". It would be strange if they can continue to get high box office.

The mainland box office of the film has reached 41.59 billion, just surpassing the 41.56 billion of "The Martian", and successfully topped the box office history of the Chinese film market.

The box office has exceeded 40 billion for two consecutive years, while the works of other directors are still struggling to break [-] billion, and some are even seeking to break [-] million.

This huge gap made those film companies jealous and envious.

But there is no way, Zhang Hao has this ability, if you have the ability, you will make Zhang Hao suffer from depression or something, and then commit suicide by shooting eight shots in the back.

However, everyone said that concubines can't do it!

After being released in Europe and the United States, with the super high box office performance in both places, "Inception" became the third film in the world to break the billion-dollar mark after "Beauty and the Beast" and "Fast and Furious 8" this year.

At present, "Inception" has a global box office of 10.59 billion US dollars, ranking third this year.

But don't forget, this is just the beginning. "Beauty and the Beast" has already been drawn, and "Fast and Furious 8" is only released in some remote areas.

However, "Inception" is only in its first week in Europe and America. In addition, there are still many small markets that have not been released yet!
Adding these small markets, as well as Australia, New Zealand and other places, the problem of the film surpassing "Beauty and the Beast" does not seem to be a big problem.

Once surpassed, then Zhang Hao has a high probability of winning the first box office champion in his directing career.

The global box office has exceeded one billion for two consecutive years. This achievement is something that many Hollywood directors cannot do.

What's even more rare is that the film maintains a super high reputation and truly achieves a balance between business and art.

Also because of the popularity of the movie, the road shows of "Inception" in North America and Europe were very popular.Some fanatical fans even kissed Hua Tsai forcibly in front of the camera.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao reacted quickly and dodged it, otherwise he would be in trouble.

At the entrance of the Royal Theater in London, the scene of "Inception" was crowded with people, many movie fans gathered here, and this is also the scene of the road show of "Inception".

If you look carefully, besides fans of various skin colors, there are also many Chinese students with yellow skin and dark eyes who came to support.

Everyone wanted to think that the road show of "Inception" should not be too cold, but they didn't expect so many movie fans to come to the scene.

Both Christian Bale and Heath Ledger attended the roadshow event in London, and Heath Ledger also chatted with Zhang Hao about the "Joker" solo movie.

"To be honest, if "Joker" was directed by you, I would feel a lot more at ease." Heath Ledger said bluntly.

"Warner Pictures has decided to make this film?"

"That's right," Heath Ledger nodded and said, "They found Todd Phillips to direct and approved a $5000 million production fee."

Heath Ledger's net worth has skyrocketed since he became famous for his role as the Joker, and it is not a problem for him to call $1000 million for the current film salary.

But for "Joker", Heath Ledger must have lowered his pay because he saw the hope of winning an award.

Oscars are still very attractive to actors, and the title of Oscar winner seems to be a bit taller.

Of course Zhang Hao understood, he patted Heath Ledger on the shoulder and said: "When the time comes to vote, I will definitely vote for you.

Christian will too, won't he? "

In the last sentence, Zhang Hao asked Christian Bale.

Bell nodded and said: "Of course, I got a nomination for the clown last time, so it's not a big problem to get another nomination this time.

If I hadn't played Batman, I would have preferred to play the Joker. "

For Christian Bale, a literary man, the role of clown is really attractive.

But how could Batman play the Joker, not to mention himself, Warner Pictures would not accept it.
