my movie years

In recent times, the achievements of "Country Teacher" in the Chinese market have naturally attracted the attention of entertainment media around the world, especially Hollywood-related media.

On the one hand, I am amazed that this movie made a box office of US$4.6 million in its first week by relying on a single market, successfully winning the global weekly box office championship.

The North American film market is still struggling to recover. Many blockbusters have not announced release dates, and there are only a few small and medium-cost productions.

The "Black Widow" solo movie, which seems to be slightly more competitive, will have to wait until July to be released.

Suddenly, a Chinese-language film like "Country Teacher" became the focus of attention in the global film industry.

But considering the past works of its director Zhang Hao, it is not surprising.

After all, Zhang Hao has directed Chinese-language films such as "The Martian" and "Inception", which have continuously exceeded one billion US dollars in box office in the global market.

Some people may say that it is entirely because of the Chinese market that Zhang Hao is what it is today.

However, the local market is always the most important part of commercial films.Even if you don’t watch Marvel, you don’t care about overseas markets, but don’t you dare to abandon the local market in North America?

If Hollywood leaves the North American market, it can no longer be called Hollywood.

What's more, if you want to put it this way, why haven't you seen other Chinese film directors achieve the same results as Zhang Hao?

Ultimately, it depends on the person.

On the other hand, Hollywood was taken aback by this movie.Many Hollywood companies have branches in China, and people from these branches went to see the movie on the day it was released.

After watching it, I sent my viewing experience to the head office in North America.

After watching the movie, some people are happy and some are worried.

The happy ones are naturally Warner Pictures and Universal Pictures. Warner Pictures is now being besieged by many media in North America, saying that Warner Pictures does not do good things and digs into the foundation of Hollywood.

Anyway, based on that rhetoric, Warner Pictures wanted to give up cooperation with Zhang Hao several times.But the green money is really impressive, and I can’t bear to give it up.

Moreover, those gentlemen did not say that the legislation prohibited cooperation with Zhang Hao, so Warner Pictures thought of a way to get Universal Pictures to join the group.

As a result, the current situation in Hollywood has become that Warner Pictures and Universal Pictures are working closely together, and the other three giant companies appear to be cooperating, but in fact they have their own agendas.

In fact, this also gave Zhang Hao the opportunity to use interests to differentiate, distinguish friends and enemies, who can be friends, who is an enemy, and who can turn enemies into friends.

To this end, Zhang Hao also led a group of people to set up a North American research center to provide strategies to break through the blockade on the other side of the Pacific.

It can be said that as long as there is no clear legislation on the other side, Zhang Hao's game of differentiation can continue to be played.

There are many things that cannot be explained so thoroughly, as they all fall within the scope of 404. In short, Zhang Hao has temporarily solved the problem of overseas distribution of Chinese-language films.

Moreover, Firefly, which grew up on Fox's corpse, is now one of the second-tier production companies in Hollywood. Zhang Hao is also considering repaying the other person with his own treatment, and plans to control some influential North American media.

But this is very difficult, because he has been engaged in public opinion warfare for so many years, and he is a master and not a fool.

Maybe when the acquisition is halfway through, they will stop it.

Capital has never had a conscience, especially when it comes to containing competitors. It can be as ruthless as possible.

The entire film industry has reached the top. Although it is not as good as chips, aerospace, artificial intelligence and other high-tech fields, it still faces many restrictions.

In the past, people didn't restrict you because you really couldn't do it. They didn't care if one or two movies came out occasionally.

But now that every movie you make can achieve pretty good results, people are not happy because it threatens the foundation.

I don’t know how long this period of time will last. As competition intensifies, I believe that the day will not be far when Chinese-language films will temporarily withdraw from the North American market.

And it’s not just the North American market. According to the situation on the other side of the Pacific, it can’t go to Europe, Japan, South Korea and other places.

Zhang Hao also has some plans in this regard. He has held several meetings with the superiors, and also participated in the national conference and proposed various proposals.

One of them is to extensively develop the film market in other countries and regions.

This suggestion was recognized by the above, who believed that it would be conducive to the export of Chinese culture and make their ideas more accepted.

When it comes to cooperating with Warner Pictures, everyone has their own agendas, and they don’t know when the cooperation will end.

This suggestion is digging into Hollywood, or the foundation of Western values.The most important attribute of Hollywood movies is to promote their own values ​​​​to brainwash people in other worlds, thus creating a group of people who yearn for such values.

Throughout so many years, there have been so many people on the Internet who admire foreign things, and it can be said that Hollywood movies have contributed a lot.

And once another more attractive value emerges, those with vested interests will definitely spare no effort to suppress it, and will use various means.

In fact, this idea was brought up in several meetings, as they did not want to compete prematurely.

Needless to say, Zhang Hao naturally has some experts who have opinions on this issue.Now it's not a question of whether you want to or not, but a question of necessity.

Everyone has already sharpened their knives, and it is too late to say no to the dispute.

In major life events, if you don't advance, you will retreat. There is no room for negotiation, let alone competition at a higher level!

At this time, Zhang Hao finally realized the difficulty of being a leader in the industry. Everything is waiting for you to do and pioneer.

When the National Master was the leader, there weren't that many things to do.

Because Chinese-language films at that time were far from developed enough to compete with Hollywood films.

Being an industry leader is an honor, but it’s also really tiring.

However, Zhang Hao still quite enjoyed this feeling. After all, not everyone can experience such a magnificent life.

With the advanced modern medical technology, people can live more than 100 years, but it is actually very short.

How to make a brilliant career in a limited life is a test of personal abilities and opportunities.

Most people live an ordinary life without any achievements.

Zhang Hao is very lucky to have such an opportunity to be a trendsetter of the times.

Going back to "Country Teacher", based on the reasons explained above, we can understand why this Chinese science fiction movie can cause such a big sensation.

Now, entertainment media all over the world are paying attention to "Country Teacher".

Warner Pictures did not miss this good publicity opportunity and directly announced that the film will be released in North American theaters on the first weekend of June.

Europe and other regions will also be released in June and July.

In Asia, Japan and South Korea will release the film the week after its release in the Chinese market, while Southeast Asia will postpone it until the end of May.

The movie hasn't been released yet, but the scolding war caused by the movie is already very lively.

Don't worry about the domestic media, most of them praise it.

But the foreign media is different. Those who think the movie is good and those who think the movie is bad each account for half, and both sides abuse each other.

The "Asahi Shimbun" here just said "Country Teacher" is the greatest Asian science fiction movie, and the "Peninsula Morning News" over there said "Country Teacher" is a mediocre film.

The New York Times here just said that "Country Teacher" is just a children's film full of boring fantasy, and the "Los Angeles Times" over there praised "Country Teacher" for comprehensively surpassing "Star Wars".

There are domestic videos that carry comments from foreign websites, and they are also half-and-half, which makes domestic netizens very confused.

If a movie is good, it's good. If it's not good, it's bad. What's so exciting about this?

But netizens don’t understand that sometimes, whether a movie is good or not cannot be determined by itself.

Due to various interests, movies can be good or bad.

But it doesn't matter, the public opinion and hype are so fierce, as long as the box office data is good, everything can be justified.

After "Country Teacher" grossed a box office of 32.21 billion in the Chinese market in its first week, it continued to gross a box office of 15.36 billion in the second week, bringing the film's total box office to 47.57 billion.

The film has become No. 2 on the box office list in Chinese film history, second only to the animated film "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" released in 2019.

Everyone knows that "Nezha" cannot stop "Country Teacher", and it is just around the corner to reach the top.

However, the domestic box office is only a small surprise. The most surprising thing is the box office after it was released in Japan and South Korea the following week. (End of chapter)
