my movie years

In ancient times, due to the difficulty in information circulation, it was basically impossible to completely know what was happening on the other side of the world.

In modern times, with the emergence of telegraphs, newspapers and media, people were able to know what was happening in the world.

However, because of its high cost, this kind of information technology cannot be mastered by ordinary people and can only be accessed.

This gives the state or large-scale capital the opportunity to control public opinion, so those who are willing to manipulate public opinion will paint black people as white, and white people as black.

Good people are cast into hell by public opinion, but evil people can be touted by public opinion as the embodiment of justice.

However, with the development of the Internet, especially the development of mobile Internet, the cost for ordinary people to control public opinion has become lower and lower, while the cost for large capital consortiums to control public opinion has become higher and higher.

This is an era of fierce collision of ideas. The inclusive culture of the East and the jungle law of the jungle of the weak in the West are constantly colliding and rubbing against each other in this wave.

In such an era, it is already impossible to completely derail the international public opinion system.

Just like we can hear all kinds of news from abroad, others can also hear all kinds of news and opinions from us.

Among them, the film industry has become an important bridgehead in the cultural media industry.

Hollywood has been trying to exclude Chinese-language films from the world system for two years.Later, Hollywood discovered that Chinese-language films could become a world on their own.

In the past, Westerners thought that the world was only the West, and the rest were uncivilized barbarians.

But things are different now. The people at the bottom don't know, but the high-ranking elites in the West are not stupid. The world is not just the West.

We are in the age of informationization and high utilization of resources. It is impossible to avoid the other world.

Therefore, Hollywood compromised before those high-tech industries, and was the first to send out a signal, welcoming Chinese-language films to continue to return to the old market order.

Of course, people also used some tricks. For example, the scissors system was good. They decided to learn from it and started to review the system.

Needless to say, this review system is for Zhang Hao.

The reason is simple, because so far, only a few Chinese-language films directed by Zhang Hao and others have been able to make a splash internationally, while other Chinese-language film directors are still lagging behind.

Hollywood believes that through this review system, it can completely block Zhang Hao's movies from the door.

Scissors says you have a problem, but it doesn't tell you what the problem is.I didn’t say that I won’t let you show it. As long as the rectification is completed, you are welcome at any time.

It has to be said that people are not one-minded and are always making progress.

The latest memorandum was signed in Beijing in January 2024, which meant that the two-year mutual blockade finally came to an end.

Immediately after the signing of the memorandum, it was announced that a number of Hollywood movies would be introduced, including Disney's "Avengers 5", Universal's "Fast and Furious 11", Sony Columbia's "Godzilla 3" and other films.

Similarly, many Chinese-language films have also been announced for release overseas, especially in Japan, South Korea and North America.

Not to mention North America, Japan and South Korea, which are themselves influenced by Chinese culture, can also contribute a lot to the box office. It is a joy to be able to show it in these regions.

Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth 2", Guoshi's "Man Jiang Hong" and "Sturdy as a Rock", Wu Ershan's "Feng Shen 1", Bao Qiang's "The Octagonal Cage", and "Desperate", " "She Disappeared" have successively landed in overseas markets.

However, only the two films "The Wandering Earth 2" have achieved good results, with a total overseas box office of US$1.2 million.

It only took two movies to get 1.2 million US dollars, which is very poor compared to Zhang Hao's previous results.This proves one thing: except for Zhang Hao, other Chinese-language films are indeed not attracting attention overseas.

It is said that the Hollywood elite even held a party to celebrate this successful move.

People with insight find this strange. Why are there no works by Zhang Hao among the overseas movies?The latest "Flag 1" and "Flag 2" have no intention of entering overseas markets.

A reporter asked relevant people from Tianmi Film and Television Production Company, and the answer they received was speechless.

It turns out that the big scissors in other countries asked the film to go back for rectification on the grounds that some of the content of the film was not in compliance with regulations.The film was revised four or five times, but failed to pass the review, and was later abandoned.

This time, I finally understand their tricks.Previously, in order to target Zhang Hao, people did not hesitate to ban all Chinese-language films, but later found that it was useless and ended up hurting both sides.

But now people find that there is only one Zhang Hao in Chinese-language movies, and the others are not enough.Just target Zhang Hao, and let the others go.

Therefore, under the new memorandum, Zhang Hao still received the same treatment as before, but other Chinese-language films were able to go overseas.

Moreover, this time you are downgraded from a group to an individual, and it is not said to be a ban. It is just asking you to make corrections, so Zhang Hao can't find a reason to get angry.

In the past, it was possible to unite other Chinese-speaking filmmakers to fight against Hollywood, but now it is a bit unrealistic to call on everyone to fight against Hollywood for my own sake.

Unity needs to pay a price.

However, it is not impossible to solve it. It is even very simple. Even other Chinese film directors can achieve the same results as Zhang Hao.

When there are not one or two directors with Zhang Hao's achievements, but ten or eight, it would be meaningless to restrict Zhang Hao.

But this simplest step is precisely the most difficult step.

At present, only Guo Fan has this potential. After all, two movies can sell 1.2 million U.S. dollars at the box office, which is not a small amount.

The total box office of other films going overseas this year is not as high as the two "The Wandering Earth 2", so there is no hope for it.

What can be said, the movie ultimately depends on the movie to speak for itself.

No matter what tricks are used, as long as the quality of the movie is not good, one day the true colors will be exposed.Chinese filmmakers can only continue to work hard and at least see the back of Zhang Hao.

There is no overseas market, so we rely entirely on the domestic market to survive.

Fortunately, the potential of the domestic market is unlimited. After the epidemic, the film market did not become cold like in the previous life, but became hotter.

As a group of fans who grew up watching Zhang Hao's movies matured, Zhang Hao's fan base expanded again.

"Flag 1" finally took home 59.03 billion at the box office, once again breaking the record of "Country Teacher" and becoming the first Chinese-language film in box office history.

This is due to the quality of the movie, and it is also the fans who express their support for Zhang Hao and use this method to help Zhang Hao fight against Hollywood.

"Flag 2" was released during the Spring Festival. Although it did not replicate the results of "Flag 1", the film still grossed 46.21 billion at the box office.

The combined box office of the two film series exceeded 100 billion. For other directors, it would be a miracle, but for Zhang Hao, it would be normal.

However, this is not the most attractive thing. The most amazing thing is that Zhang Hao's career cumulative box office has exceeded 700 billion, making him the veritable No. 1 Chinese film director.

The key is that Zhang Hao is still young. For the director, being under 40 years old is indeed young.

At this age, many directors may have had their first independent directing opportunity, and Zhang Hao has already broken the box office record of 700 billion.

At this rate, it seems that breaking the box office record of [-] billion won't be a problem.

A box office of over [-] billion is a figure that people look up to, but now it is no longer out of reach.

Including overseas box office, Zhang Hao has surpassed Spielberg and became the film director with the highest cumulative box office in the world.

No wonder Hollywood is so afraid of him. The New York Times called him the Satan of the East, and Bibi said he was a tyrant in the film industry.

These words are not pleasant to hear, but they are the best compliment to Zhang Hao.

When "Flag 2024" was released during the National Day period in 3, Yangma interviewed Zhang Hao. The title was: Zhang Hao—The King of Movies in the New Era. This is his movie era.

He once again affirmed Zhang Hao's achievements and believed that his achievements in the film field are unparalleled and he is the greatest director in the history of Chinese films.

And Zhang Hao's goal is more than that. He wants to become the greatest director in the world, and he wants to make it so that no one can compare with him. (End of chapter)
