China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 433: Second in film history?Where must I die?
In the next few days, He Fang took the creators to Berlin and Los Angeles. Then he left the crew in the United States and returned to the crew of "Operation Red Sea" alone.

After the "Pacific Rim 2" crew promoted for three days in the United States, they were divided into two groups. One group went to Asia and the other group went to Europe for the next week of promotion.

On July 7, this movie was officially released simultaneously around the world. Fans who had been lured by the publicity and hype rushed into the cinema immediately. Because of the huge publicity of "Pacific Rim 8", not only Chinese blockbusters were avoided, but Even Hollywood blockbusters have avoided release.

《独立日2》、《魔兽》、《泰山归来：人猿大战》、《冰川时代5：星际碰撞》、《谍影重重5》等这些好莱坞热门电影要么提档了，要么推档了，整个7月8日到22日的档期没有一部有热度的电影上映，全给《环太平洋2》让档。

而中国的电影也是一样，本来计划暑期档同样7月8号上映的《寒战2》把档期推到了7月29，避开了大魔王《环太平洋2》。

The film schedule of "Pacific Rim 2" in China once reached 61%, which is equivalent to basically monopolizing the film schedule. What is the concept of 61%?It's like "Pacific Rim 2" is basically scheduled from the afternoon to midnight. Only part of the morning and afternoon, plus sporadic shows in the evening, are there opportunities to schedule other movies.

If Zhang Weiping still made movies, he would jump up and scold "Pacific Rim 2" for being a monopoly.

"Director He, the crew organized a group viewing of "Pacific Rim 2" in the evening. Do you want to go?" Duan Yihong asked in the afternoon when he returned to the crew to take over filming.

"I won't go. You go and watch. I've been exhausted these past few days. I just have a night's rest so I have the energy to film tomorrow." He Fang refused. After all, he had not been relaxed these past ten days.

He Fang did not rest immediately that night. Instead, he sat in the computer room and looked at the shooting materials for the week. He had to check to see if they were up to standard and whether reshoots were needed.

It's a pity that there are no actresses in "Operation Red Sea". The only two female leads have no interest in either direction, so they are self-aware and do not stay quietly.

After He Fang finished reading the material, he took a look at Maoyan's box office data. It was pretty good. The box office in mainland China took in 37287 million yuan, or 3.728 million yuan on the first day.

This data is very good, very OK. Looking at the ratings again, Maoyan scored 9.7 and Douban scored 8.8. Although it is said that it will drop in the future, the box office and ratings on the first day are stable. There is no problem with at least 40 billion, and the box office is 50 billion. It's not a dream either.

As the box office data of mainland China is released, the box office data of other regions in Asia are also released.

The island nation received US$823 million, South Korea US$431 million, Taiwan Province US$327 million, Hong Kong US$146 million, India US$352 million, Malaysia US$125 million, the Philippines US$118 million, and Singapore US$96...

The box office across Asia reached $10420 million, or $1.042 million.

Steady, steady, Tuanhuo Culture’s global promotion this time has been done well. If Asia’s promotion capabilities can be stabilized for a long time, in the future, even if it is cut off from Europe and the United States, even a major movie in Asia can be obtained More than a billion dollars.

After reading the box office data, He Fang returned to the room to wash up and sleep. He was tired and rested.

Of course, the crew also came back from watching the movie, and they were all excitedly discussing that a blockbuster is a blockbuster.

The IP "Pacific Rim" has a lot of room for manipulation in the future, because it has formed a universe concept.That is, the mecha universe, and the monster universe.

Both of these are contents that can be explored in depth. After slowly expanding, many related IP movies can be made.

Of course, the two concepts of mechas and monsters are not new, but the systematic mecha concepts and monster concepts have slowly been formed in "Pacific Rim 2", which is to lay the foundation for a long-term IP.

As long as these IPs are successfully created, Tuanhuo culture and He Fangkan will continue to flourish for a long time to come.The concept of "Pacific Rim" alone can make a profit for a long time. After all, mecha and monster peripherals can also make a lot of money, and IP licensing can also make a lot of money.

What is even more frightening is that He Fang is too young, only 33 years old. A world-renowned director who is only 33 years old has countless good IPs that can be developed for a long time, and even has the ability to develop new IPs...

As long as any filmmaker is bound to his depth, he will have nothing to worry about in his life.

For example, what kind of photography should I specialize in, what kind of art should I specialize in, what kind of clothing should I specialize in... What else should I worry about in this life? After doing it for a long time, I want to be famous and profitable.

As soon as you go out and have a dedicated artist, this title is famous in the global film circle.

The same goes for the actors. It would be great if they could be bound to He Fang... Unfortunately, the audience doesn't want to see their faces in all He Fang's movies, otherwise... However, it would be fine as long as they act in a few more movies. That would also be an international film. A star.

Of course He Fang knew what others were thinking, so when he saw the crew members who were more flattering to him the next morning, he just smiled and continued to devote himself to the filming of "Operation Red Sea".

Not long after the filming, he received news that local officials came to express condolences. It seemed that they wanted to get some traffic from somewhere...

On July 7, the global first-day box office was released. Europe took in US$8 million on the first day, and North America took in US$4681 million. This is a new first-day box office record for He Fang's domestic film in North America.

The rest of the world took in a total of $3417 million, including South Pacific Africa, Central and South America, and South America.

《环太洋2》的全球首日票房共拿下了22638万美元，2.263亿美元。这个数据比《侏罗纪世界》的首日票房2.18亿美元还要高近1000万美元。

"Jurassic World" has now received US$18 billion, and "Pacific Rim 2" is a little higher than "Jurassic World". Doesn't it really mean that it can reach US$20 billion at the box office?

"He Fang's bold words are not unachievable. Based on the box office trend of [Jurassic World], [Pacific Rim 2] is very likely to exceed US$20 billion."

"What promise will come true?" 》

"[Pacific Rim 2]'s first-day box office hits a new high for any film"

"The first domestic box office record of US$20 billion is about to be set?" 》

"Anyone who criticizes someone for bragging can silently delete the criticism."

"He Fang has confirmed his authenticity with many predictions, so why do people still question it?" "Someone is trying to use double standards to deny [Pacific Rim 2] is about to fail"

"[Pacific Rim 2] Ten Secrets to Success"

"Many domestic film and television companies are ushering in the craze of learning [Pacific Rim 2]"

"Feng Xiaogang: All the boasts came true, which makes me admire me very much"

"Chen Kaige: Where is the new benchmark? He is only 33 years old"

……

As soon as the first day's box office results were released, public opinion was in an uproar. Who would have thought that He Fang's boast would come true?

接下为7月9日的全球票房2.765亿美元，7月10日的全球票房2.451亿美元，首周三天总票房7.479亿美元，直接超过了《侏罗纪世界》首周三日的6.7亿美元近一个亿。

As soon as July 7 passed, the global single-month box office of "Jurassic World" was also released, which was US$10 billion.

Now this data is completely convincing. Whether it is the first-day box office or the first week box office, "Pacific Rim 2" is higher than "Jurassic World"."Jurassic World", which had a low first day and first week, both took in a monthly box office of 18.6 billion. So, is there any problem with "Pacific Rim 2" going even better to reach 20 billion?
The next thing everyone discusses is why "Pacific Rim 2" is more popular than "Jurassic World"?

Both European and American media and Asian media seem to have given similar reasons. First, the pattern and scenes of "Pacific Rim 2" are larger; second, "Pacific Rim 2" is more tense and exciting; third, "Pacific Rim 2" is more exciting. Mechas and monsters were once more attractive than dinosaurs...

Anyway, there are nearly a dozen advantages listed to prove that "Ring 2" is more popular than "Jurassic World". Obviously, this is only the result of the media's comparison based on the quality of the movies themselves.

There are other real differences. For example, "Lotus Pacific 2" invested more in publicity and distribution. The box office of "Lotus Pacific 2" in mainland China far exceeded that of "Jurassic World." With the blessing of "Jurassic World" in front...

The whole of July has become a one-man show for "Huan Tai 2". It is so popular and explosive. Not only does the movie sell well at the box office, but also the peripherals are sold out.

The peripheral figure production factory jointly invested by Huying Group and Tuanhuo Culture was overflowing with production. Workers in the factory complained that they had no time to watch "Pacific Rim 2" after working overtime every day.

The box office in the following weeks was US$8.816 million in the second week, US$4.408 million in the third week, US$8265 million in the fourth week, and US$2755 million in the fifth week. The total global box office in a single month was US$22.04 billion, breaking the Chinese-language film record new record.

而且票房直接荣升到了全球第二，超越了《星球大战7：原力觉醒》20.6亿美元以及《泰坦尼克号》21.9亿美元，与排名第一的《阿凡达》27亿美元相差5亿美元的票房。

This box office directly shocked the world. At this time, many Hollywood filmmakers really began to work together. Previously, they had differences in their treatment of Chinese movies. Only a very small number of people felt that Chinese movies were a threat.

But the explosive sales of "Pacific Rim 2" scared them. They didn't expect the threat to be so great, and they almost reached first place.

Therefore, when the New York Times once again criticized He Fang with the content that "He Fang and Chinese films have destroyed the existing film order and threatened the West's right to speak," the entire United States was silent, and no one came to refute it. Criticism of the New York Times.

There are even some extreme filmmakers who are still echoing this, clamoring about the threat of Chinese films and where the threat is.

Once there is no one left to refute, to stand up and speak for China and Chinese movies, then the entire Western public opinion machine will be activated.

What followed was a series of crimes that the media accused He Fang of. First, the Fengyun Awards he initiated destroyed the Western-dominated film award order. Second, he made Chinese military movies to promote military threats. Third, he attempted to To unify Asia's film discourse, the fourth is that he uses low prices to destroy European and American film special effects technology, and the fifth is that He Fang has a personal dictatorship in the Chinese film industry, and he personally monopolizes the film industry's voice...

Anyway, He Fang has been listed with more than ten crimes by Lin Lin. Anyway, He Fang is a heinous person and He Fang must be defeated.

Not only the American and Western media have begun to build momentum, but even some Taiwanese media, Hong Kong media, and southern mainland media, especially the Beijing News, have jumped out to accuse them of being so radical and undermining the maturity and perfection of the United States and the West. The value order of the United States and the West means that they have no sense of morality and do not want to act within the order framework of the United States and the West...

Of course, this does not mean that no one is speaking out for He Fang. There are many Eastern media and public opinions that are refuting.

He Fang is still making a movie, and it will take about ten days to finish the movie. Of course, he has seen the public opinion on the Internet, and the public opinion is fierce. The key is that these people are just criticizing blindly, and no media has come to interview him.

Why not interview him?I just don’t want him to speak.

So He Fang had no choice but to speak out on Toutiao, Twitter, Facebook and other platforms.

"If you can't afford it, just slander and attack? Does that mean that if one day the U.S. economy is in bad shape, it will change the rules of the WTO led by them, and then destroy the rules they set themselves? Is this the ambition of the largest country?
It’s just a movie, it’s just a box office of 22 billion US dollars. Does this break the defense?Can't afford this?Do you start slandering and attacking others as soon as you see them doing better? "

With He Fang's speaking out, public opinion has finally gotten a little better, and the public opinion is not so fierce, but there are still a lot of weird words.

Criticize He Fang for relying on China’s market leadership of 14 billion and kidnapping the international market, criticizing Asian movies for not following Chinese movies...

As for those who criticize He Fang for disrupting order in China, a large number of netizens on the Internet have been speechless. They will only shout that He Fang has broken the existing order and rules. We need to develop, but we must also be obedient.

But immediately another argument came out. They said this: "He Fang should not bring disaster to Chinese movies. Just because He Fang's emergence has made the United States and the West focus on Chinese movies with the intention of suppressing Chinese movies, He Fang should do it." Kneel down and apologize! '

"I just made a movie that was a hit at the box office. Where did I go wrong? The movie can't be made? The movie can't be sold? You want me to apologize? You want me to kneel down? Even the United States and the West haven't said they want me to kneel down and apologize. , some people in the country were so excited that they wanted to kill my face.

I can't understand it, and I can't understand it either.Sometimes the biggest enemy is not your opponent, but your own people. These people... you are very good, and history will remember you. "
