China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 133 Global box office and Hollywood reviews
"Invasion of Wall Street" was released simultaneously around the world. Before that, no one in China reported it carefully, mainly because the box office performance was mediocre, so the media couldn't step on it or praise it. Now, as soon as the New Year's Day file ends, the media began to pick up "Invasion of Wall Street" global box office.

"[Invasion of Wall, etc.] North American Box Office and Global Box Office Briefing"

"Maybe everyone has forgotten that "Invasion of Wall Street" is a movie released simultaneously around the world, while domestic audiences are only focused on the domestic box office."

“其实《入侵华尔街》在北美及全球其它地区的票房表现也不错的。该片在29号的北美首映就开画2000块荧幕，首日票房247万，之后的30日311万，31日329万，1日398万，2日403万，3日455万，元旦档6天2143万美元。”

"Even though the daily box office in North America is only 300 to [-] million US dollars, this is actually a very good figure. Many blockbuster films can only earn tens of millions of dollars at the box office a week."

“而《入侵华尔街》在全球其它地区的票房也不算差，29日179万，30日217万，31日230万，1日278万，2日282万，3日318万，元旦档6天1504万美元。”

"Counting the domestic box office, the global box office of "Invasion of Wall Street" reached 6 million US dollars in 6976 days on New Year's Day. You don't need to predict. Everyone knows that the global box office of "Invasion of Wall Street" will exceed [-] million US dollars. As for how much it can reach It depends on the follow-up."

"At least it is higher than the box office of He Fang's last film "Single Zoo", which had a global box office of 9378 million US dollars. However, the reputation of "Invasion of Wall Street" is far less than that of "Single Zoo". "

"Currently, in Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness is only 65%, and the IMDb score is only 6.6 points. We have intercepted the comments of some film critics in the United States for everyone to understand."

"Film critic Gary Gore Tstein: Director He Fang spends a lot of time portraying Jim as an out-of-favor man in a corner of society to 'justify' his madness as necessary once the film's fuse is irreversibly lit , the audience has already been teased."

"Film critic Peter de Brugge: This film seems inexplicably flat, the most uninteresting execution of a radical concept."

"Film critic Frank Shayk: This revenge fantasy that taps into the zeitgeist doesn't come with enough guilt."

"Film critic Steve McFarlane: Director He Fang insisted on expressing the accusation against financial capitalists in a critical way, which aroused the same cynicism from the audience. At least I have felt the empathy of many audiences in the theater, except that there is no Hiss."

"Film critic John Lunan: I think this is an extremely extreme and stupid movie. I don't see any good in shooting the financiers on Wall Street. The movie will only make the audience collectively shout in the theater, looking forward to the sequel."

"Film critic Brian Arndorf: He Fang plunges into the dark, dysfunctional recesses of American culture with a strangely primitive and brutally subversive ideology that is dangerous for Americans."

"Film critic Ahambe: We prefer He Fang to criticize and madly stab at totalitarianism and utopia in an allegorical way similar to "Single Zoo", rather than our free and democratic society. Obviously, He Fang's criticism does not If he loses focus and criticizes everyone, someone should tell him whom to point the gun at."

"The above are the evaluations of "Invasion of Wall Street" by some film critics. Film critics generally score low and criticize fiercely. However, in the ratings of ordinary audiences, we see that most of the ratings of ordinary audiences are above 7 points. I like this video very much, and some of the comments are as follows..."

……

This report immediately went viral on the Internet, attracting a large number of onlookers. The public is very happy to hear and see the jumping feet of American film critics.

"Haha, He Fang broke the defenses of the Americans with a movie, but they can't tell the pain."

"Didn't someone criticize He Fang for smearing the United States? Look at the comments made by Americans themselves. Film critics slammed it, and ordinary movie fans praised it. This is the truth, this is the truth, and it shows that "Invasion of Wall Street" was filmed correctly."

"Have any friends in the same industry go to Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb to score? We can't let them lower the score of "Invasion of Wall Street."

"Haha, He Fang kicked the iron plate, the Americans got angry, He Fang, be careful."

"I don't understand why a director wants to anger the Americans if he shoots your movie well? Our own problems are worthy of your criticism."

"A backward and poor person is always worrying about the affairs of the rich and powerful. This is called eating radish and worrying about it. Criticize the country more and solve our problems before criticizing others."

……

As for the many voices on the Internet, He Fang occasionally interacts, responds to a few comments from netizens, and even responds to a reporter's question on Weibo. This is called keeping the heat.

"I'm so wronged. I didn't criticize. Everyone said my film was lacking in spirit. I criticized it. Everyone said that I was angry and angry and shouldn't criticize the United States. So what should I do? It's all wrong? You guys are right. Ah, why don't you come, I can't do it."

As soon as He Fang's Weibo interaction calling for grievances came out, netizens immediately went crazy.

But, in fact, he is now seriously summarizing the work of the past year at Tuanhuo Culture, and writing the script himself, and of course assisting several directors and several screenwriters in revising the script.

The copyrights of several novels have been bought back, and these directors and screenwriters who have just returned from advanced studies are also excited, and they all want to get started.

"Tian Yusheng, you should mainly write the second part of "People on the Journey", and polish that script well."

Tian Yusheng nodded after hearing this, and then He Fang looked at the five directors who had learned the dragon slaying technique but had no chance to slay dragons. He Fang could understand their feelings.

"You five directors, I suggest that you shoot two films together first, and don't rush to direct them alone. After you have successfully filmed these two films, then your next film, I personally support you to direct alone."

"Okay, Director He, then why are the five of us filming two films together? Are the two films designated by the company, or are we choosing ourselves?" Wang Zhiyong, the oldest, asked.

Several other people also nodded slightly, looking where.

"Let's designate these two plays, and you can choose freely for your next play. How about this, let me designate for you, just "33 Days of Broken Love" and "To Our Lost Youth."

Speaking of which, these people are all excited, can they not be excited when they have something to do?You have learned so much from the crews of "Invasion of Wall Street" and "Pacific Rim", don't you just want to show off your ambitions?

"It's hard to separate two films from five directors, so let's add Tian Yuyu to one group. The directors of "33 Days of Broken Love" are composed of Wang Zhiyong, Tian Li, and Tian Yuyu. "To Our Lost Youth" It is composed of Li Xiaojiang, Liu Chang and Jing Lipeng."

"And then the screenwriter. The screenwriters of "33 Days of Broken Love" are composed of Tian Yuyu and Gao Bo, and the screenwriters of "To Our Lost Youth" are composed of Song Xiaojie, Han Peng, and Chen Chen."

"The production team is also divided. Zhang Mengda and Zhang Wei are in charge of the production of "33 Days of Broken Love", Yang Jinyi and Zhang Lei are in charge of the production of "To Our Lost Youth". President Zhang Qian and Zhang lead the production of the two production teams film, I will be the producer of the two crews."

He Fang assigned the tasks to everyone, and everyone was very happy.

However, he also had to make a plan for himself.

In 2011, he plans to make three films by himself, two low-budget ones and one 3D blockbuster.

Naturally, the first low-cost film was "Sunspot", which he bought the copyright for a long time. He had to write the edited version quickly.

The second low-cost film is a Hollywood film for the students in the second advanced class. After thinking about it for a long time, he was very annoyed that others smeared the United States. Since you said I smeared, then I will smear to the end.

So the second low-budget movie is The Purge, where evil capitalists unleash humanity's greatest demons for their own profit.

I just don't know how the people who hate him will go into a rage after "The Purge" is released, it should be interesting.

Two low-budget films have been decided, and the blockbuster film must be arranged, and the script and preparations must be written now, otherwise it may be too late.

Which blockbuster will you shoot?The sci-fi film has been filmed, so is it our mythological feature film?

Let's make "Journey to the West: Three Fighting the Bone Demon". Personally, He Fang thinks this movie is a good commercial film in another time and space. At least it is a success at the box office, and the production is considered qualified.

The reason why everyone scolded it as a bad movie was mainly because the opponents smeared it too seriously. The comments back then were all low scores from many people who had not seen the movie theater, and then they used the same and fundamental methods when spraying this movie. I don't know where the bad evaluation is.

You ask him where is the rot?I can't tell why, anyway, it's just a matter of scolding.

For example, it was evaluated like this: "Bad movies, what are fox demons, snow demons, and bone spirits?

"It's so ugly...The script is so bad, I can't complain at the end..."

"The worst of the year will always appear early, stop wasting money..."

There is no one sentence to say where the specific rot is, anyway, the evaluation is rotten.

On the contrary, the viewers who have seen it all say that it is not bad, not bad, not to mention amazing, at least it is a sincere work above the pass line.

As for why there are so many low scores?Because "The Wind and Cloud of Macau 3" and "The Mermaid" were released on the same day as "Journey to the West: Three Fighting Bones".

What kind of film is "The Wind and Cloud of Macau 3"?It's a really bad movie. What else is there to watch about this movie besides the cast?

Therefore, only by smearing the same industry can they grab the box office. A bad movie like "Macao Fengyun 3" actually took 11.6 billion at the box office.

In addition to "Macau Wind and Cloud 3", there is another heavyweight movie, that is "The Mermaid" by Master Xing, and who is the employer behind "The Mermaid"?It's full of big capital. Who is the capital behind your "Three Fighting Bones"?Xinghao Company?Who has heard of it?
The market is so big, "Macao Fengyun 3" has so many stars that it is difficult to step on it, you "Three Dozens of Bones" needs a background and no background, the stars you need are not as good as those of the other two films, and the director Cheng Po-sui is even worse than Wang Jing and Stephen Chow , what to fight?

What's more, there is a bad film of the first "Havoc in Heaven" as a base, so it is useless for your second film to be excellent.This is like Dapeng, the first "Pancake Man" was too bad, but no matter how good the second "Sewing Machine Band" was, few audiences could really buy it.

Therefore, in another time and space, "Three Dozens of Bones" was scolded as a bad movie and was boycotted by the audience, but despite this, "Three Dozens of Bones" still got a box office of 12 billion, higher than "Macao Wind 3", Are the audience all idiots?

Well, this wave of washing the ground for "Three Dozens of Bones" should be almost done.

Cough, of course it’s not to clean up the ground, but just to prove that "Three Dozens of Bones" is not a bad film, so He Fang made it as it should be, and this time and space does not have the first bad film "Havoc in Heaven" as a base, so it will only be better .

Well, that's all for now.

……

It just so happened that, while writing the script, he had a good rest at the end of the year, and then sorted out the company's affairs. I heard that Stephen Chow is already focusing on the investigation of the underwater photography and studio conditions of the Huying Group Film and Television City. It should be his The new movie is about to start shooting.

Where did you know about this movie, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

He Fang also went to the scene to meet Zhou Xingchi, and the two had a friendly communication.

"Master Xing, you..." When He Fang arrived at the scene, he just wanted to talk to Zhou Xingchi, but Zhou Xingchi interrupted him.

"Hey, Director He, do you want to act?"

"Ah? Acting?" He Fang was dumbfounded.

After He Fang thought about it, he still shook his head. The main reason was that He Fang didn't plan to put too much effort into being an actor.

"Not acting? I think you can act well."

He Fang continued to shake his head, "Forget it, if it's a cameo or two, it's okay, but if you play the main role, you don't have to participate. I don't have time. In 11, I will make three movies."

"Oh... Director He is really prolific, so let's make a guest appearance."

"what?"
