China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

The content of "Operation Red Sea" is indeed a brand-new, contemporary Chinese military movie that is comparable to top Hollywood military movies. Whether it is the use of mirrors, pictures, weapons, battles, etc., it can almost be said to have achieved the ultimate in modern war movies.

Therefore, as soon as the premiere was completed, both the industry and the audience gave it high praise. This indeed set a benchmark for domestic military movies.

As long as there is no problem with the quality of the movie, there will be no problem with the movie selling well.After all, this is He Fang's blockbuster and has already formed a strong reputation.

If it were Chen Kaige's, everyone might still wait and see, but there wouldn't be any doubt about where it came from.

It's just that... no one doubted the quality of the movie, but they criticized He Fang's position again.

"New Daily": "He has not learned his lesson and repented. The United States has already given him a lenient punishment. If he is still here making a movie like this that will only arouse some mindless patriotic sentiments, doesn't he want to win over the United States?" Do you understand?"

"Nan XX Daily": "How can you make a movie like this to give the Chinese people blood? It will only mislead young people and stir up warlike sentiments. The country needs rational patriots, not brainless patriots." "Operation Red Sea" The emergence is a manifestation of the expansion of Chinese films. Chinese films need to calm down. What kind of film art do we want to do?"

"Dongguan Daily": "The development of movie genres is a good thing, but it is not a good thing to be overly exaggerated and overly YY. Movies are also propaganda machines and will bring bad guidance to young people. The war scenes in "Operation Red Sea" are It looks good, but it has no artistic value and is meaningless.”

"China Daily": "He Fang's new film "Operation Red Sea" is intended to help mainland young people build confidence. However, the imaginary enemy as powerful as in the movie does not exist. In a real war, Jiaolong is vulnerable. Compared with the Thunderbolt Team and Cobra, Similar special forces are far inferior to..."

……

There are endless voices of pessimism and criticism. The emergence of Chinese military movies has deeply stimulated some people. They do not allow such movies to boost morale and increase the patriotic sentiments of ordinary people to appear. This is not in line with their masters. Strategy.

But, can ordinary people stop this?
The box office speaks for itself, and it is still very popular. The highest single-day box office reached 4.88 million yuan, which was set on the second day of the Lunar New Year. It can be said that it shocked a lot of people's jaws.

Even if some people criticize the movie for being too bloody, there are still many viewers who go to the theater to support it.

Internationally, some people may be able to stop the success of He Fang's film, but no one can stop it in mainland China, not even if there are many trolls who block it.

"Operation Red Sea" has a box office boom and is an unusual debut.

It also performed very well in some of the countries where it was released. The daily overseas box office can reach more than 1000 million US dollars. It cannot be compared to the box office of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars the day before it was banned, but it is not bad.

On January 1, the filmmakers who came to participate in the Fengyun Awards also collectively went to the flagship store of Changsha Huying International Cinema to watch the movie and support it. This is also an attitude, their attitude towards He Fang.

That is support. After all, they can come to win awards and make profits because of the film award initiated by who.

To be honest, the suppression of He Fang is so unreasonable and there is no convincing reason. This makes many international filmmakers feel that it is unfair.

Americans can't compete, or suppress others when they see they are slightly better. This is a typical example of being unable to play and being narrow-minded, which is shameful to many international filmmakers.

The most important thing is that this approach by the United States will inevitably make some filmmakers feel threatened. Therefore, let alone breaking away from the American and Western film system, at least they will not bet only on the United States.

Therefore, after many filmmakers came to China, they used this silent protest to express their attitude.

The second Film Awards were equally successful, and in some respects even had greater momentum and wider influence.

Although He Fang did not participate, he saw a large number of reports through foreign media and public opinion, especially the reports from Asian countries were very large and comprehensive.

Stable, really stable, Fengyun Award has survived this crisis, and I believe the future will become brighter. An interest alliance has been formed, and all vested interests will spontaneously protect this interest alliance.

This proves that the profit distribution formula designed by He Fang satisfies everyone, which gives the Fengyun Award a solid framework that will not collapse easily.

In fact, the success of anything depends on whether the benefit distribution system is reasonable and perfect. As long as the benefit distribution system takes care of everyone's needs, everyone will maintain this system.

He Fang took these into consideration in the setting up of the Fengyun Award, so that the film award itself can attract all the participants, so that the film award has vitality.

Even if they are hostile to us like Japan, South Korea and India, they will be tightly attached to it because of their interests.They have no choice because they can't do it and can't do it.

As long as the Fengyun Award is stable, it will basically win a bit of international space for Chinese films. In other words, the pattern of world films will become diversified and the United States will no longer have the final say.

All it takes is an opportunity. When filmmakers all over the world don't believe in the Oscars or the Golden Globes, the Storm Awards will take their place at any time.

This opportunity requires time and the wheel of history.

The Fengyun Awards have been awarded, and the subsequent influence is further increasing, but why are the United States and the West worried?

In fact, by removing He Fang from the Fengyun Awards, Europe and the United States don't know what to do when facing the Fengyun Awards. They won't attack China's film department, right?That's another question.

The presence of He Fang gave them more reasons to attack the Fengyun Award, slander the Fengyun Award, and weaken the Fengyun Award. But without He Fang, there would be no breakthrough.

Therefore, it is a good thing for He Fang to be separated from the Fengyun Award.

The second Fengyun Awards came to a bustling end, but He Fang's "Operation Red Sea" is still harvesting box office intermittently. It took in 29.4 billion yuan at the box office during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday. This result shocked Chinese filmmakers , shocked filmmakers around the world.

In the following month, "Operation Red Sea" grossed 52 billion yuan at the box office in China, 52 billion, which is equivalent to 7-8 million U.S. dollars. There are only three movies in the world that can earn more than [-] million U.S. dollars at the box office in a single market.

Ranking first is "Star Wars Episode VII - The Force Awakens" which took in US$7 million in North America.Ranking second is "Avatar", which took in US$9.36 million in North America.Ranking third is "Operation Red Sea", which took in approximately US$7.85 million in China.

This data really shocked the global media. Many people could not imagine that they thought Chinese films would shrink due to suppression by the United States and the West. But in fact, Chinese films still have such strong fighting power even if they rely on the international market. .

At the same time, this shock is not just about being stunned by the data of "Operation Red Sea", but also marveling at the huge box office potential of China.Unexpectedly, a movie's single-day box office can reach an average of 4.2 million, and the highest single-day box office can exceed 5 million. This is unimaginable data.

This is also a market that makes all filmmakers around the world drool. A single movie can take in a box office of 7000 to [-] million US dollars in a single day. This is already comparable to the film market capabilities of North America.If a movie can earn US$[-] billion at the box office in North America and US$[-] billion at the box office in China, then wouldn’t a blockbuster film easily earn over a billion US dollars at the box office?
This is a lot of money flying around, hurry up and pick it up...

However, the cooperation between Hollywood and Chinese films has been blocked, and Hollywood films will no longer be as smooth in the Chinese market as before.

The obvious feeling for Hollywood movies is that...Hollywood movies were not so popular in China in 2017, and their box office market in China was cut in half.

At first they were very angry, thinking that someone was playing a trick and that someone was using his influence.As a result, they found out after checking...there was nothing wrong with the data they found.

Some domestic compradors told their masters that it was not someone who was preventing Hollywood movies from selling in China, but the entire Chinese film industry that was preventing Hollywood movies.Because Hollywood's suppression of He Fang has prevented Chinese films from playing in the global market and hindered the global profits of Chinese films.

For example, Huayi, China's number one film stock, derives 20% of its annual profits from He Fang's films and Tuanhuo Culture's films. This is also true for companies such as China Film, Bona, and Enlight. They can make box office profits internationally. Mainly relying on He Fang and Tuanhuo Culture’s movies.

Including film management departments, the approach of the United States and the West is to block the political achievements of film management departments and block the future of others.

Therefore, the era when Hollywood movies still want to make a lot of money in China has passed. The entire Chinese film industry has secretly blocked it. Of course, it is also caused by the fatigue of many Chinese movie fans towards Hollywood movies.

……

As soon as the Spring Festival of 2017 was over and the celebration party for "Operation Red Sea" was held, He Fang devoted himself to work other than movies. Yes, he now has to spend more energy to implement some of the plans they had made before.

At this point, every day he is focusing on how to implement the plan to weaken Hollywood, including the popularity of "Operation Red Sea" on piracy websites. He must do his best to continue to let movie fans around the world see his movies.

But what makes people angry is that there are a group of trolls on the Internet who are messing with the rhythm. For example, once there is any negative news or major social bad news, there will be a group of people there to reply:

"Isn't He Fang very powerful? Let him lead the Jiaolong team to solve it."

"Wherever you go if you have any problems, his dragon team can do anything."

"He Fang isn't provoking bellicose sentiments, let's fight!"

……

There, people were making fun of He Fang and making all kinds of sarcastic remarks about He Fang.

He Fang is also helpless. Is he going to carry the thunder for Wu Jing in this time and space?

When "Wolf Warrior 7" premiered in July, He Fang told reporters: "Before, those cent-cent party members have been setting the pace online, saying, 'If you have any problems, go to He Fang, He Fang's Jiaolong team can do anything.' But, I believe that after the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", it will definitely be 'Wu Jing is omnipotent, if you have any problems, go to Wu Jing'."

"Ah? Is this going to happen?" Wu Jing was still confused.

"It will definitely be like this. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

"Director He, how much box office do you think you can get after watching "Wolf Warrior 2"?" the reporter asked He Fang.

"Well, I don't know what the upper limit is, but I can guess what the lower limit is." He Fang said.

"So what do you think the lower limit would be?"

"The domestic box office must be at least 52 billion." He Fang asked. He didn't know whether the early release of his "Operation Red Sea" would affect the high box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", so he had to say conservatively.

"Ah, you mean that "Wolf Warrior 2" can at least surpass the box office of "Operation Red Sea"? How did you make this judgment?"

The reporter was shocked. Not only the reporter, but also Wu Jing, the creators and the audience couldn't believe it.

"Of course, it will exceed. As for why it will exceed, it is because there is such a huge demand in the market, and "Operation Red Sea" is more about showing the battlefield aesthetics of modern warfare and the country's protection of citizens.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is different. It is more like a Hollywood movie, more in line with the viewing needs of ordinary audiences, and more focused on the expression of personal heroism.Of course, it is not as serious and dull as "Operation Red Sea". "Wolf Warrior 2" is more relaxed and relaxed.

Of course, "Wolf Warrior 2" contains a battlefield love story and an expression of war romanticism. This film directed by Wu Jing has reached the level of a world-class director. "

He Fang complimented him so much that the audience, media and creators were shocked.

"Director He, please stop praising me, I'm afraid..." Wu Jing was so praised that he felt weak. He wanted to save himself, but was interrupted by He Fang.

"I know that Director Wu Jing has a guilty conscience and is afraid that he will not achieve such good results. Don't worry, I haven't made many mistakes in predicting the box office. So, look at the data. When the data comes out in a month, you will understand what I am talking about. It’s not true anymore.”

He Fang said with certainty.

In fact, one month later, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" reached 56 billion yuan, which really exceeded the 52 billion box office record of "Operation Red Sea" as Fang predicted.

Therefore, some reporters did not interview Wu Jing but instead interviewed He Fang.

"Director He Fang, how did you determine that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" will exceed 52 billion? What is the basis? Will military movies become a new hit?"

"The basis is the needs of the group. The entire Chinese society needs a sense of security and self-confidence. The fastest way for humans to gain a sense of security is to show force. Sufficient force will make it easier for people to calm down and feel safe.

"Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior 2" both demonstrate force. One shows the force of a professional military group, and the other shows the force of individual heroism.They have captured a wide range of spiritual needs, so it is natural that the two movies would be hits. "(End of chapter)
