How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 861 Epilogue

The character images in animated films are actually pretty much fixed, especially their eyes, which are basically big and round.

A film as thin and small as "The Lion Boy" is truly unique and different.

Because even the non-mainstream style of little Nezha in "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" has a bit of smoky makeup, but his eyebrows and eyes are still big and round.

So even though the director of "Young Lion" specifically came out to find a reason to explain that the character settings were designed based on the facial features of people in Guangdong and Guangxi, he still failed to fool the public with sharp eyes.

In the original time and space, "The Lion Youngster" had a box office of 2.49 million yuan, but now on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, "The Lion Youngster" did not even get half of the box office of million yuan.

There is no doubt that the "Lion Boy", which has invested 2.8 million RMB, will suffer greater losses in this wave.

Generally speaking, projects with such huge losses will basically not have a second part.

However, "The Lion Boy" has a very clear attitude and has made plans for the second part.

In fact, we can see from here that this "Lion Boy" series is probably a bit abnormal.

After all, any producer with a normal mind would not stick to a project with bad reputation and low returns. It can only be said that they have alternative ideas.

However, this alternative idea is basically doomed to fail.

Without it.

People like beautiful things and hate ugly things.

Therefore, when you want to spread a certain idea, it is more convenient if the carrier is beautiful enough.

For example, in recent years, Hollywood in North America has exported value to global audiences through commercial blockbusters, promoting the "Normandy Landing" as if it were a turning point in World War II.

But in fact, although there were many turning points in World War II, such as the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Midway, the Battle of El Alamein, and even the flag-raising in Berlin, the only turning point that is unlikely to be the Normandy Landing.

But Saving Private Ryan was so well shot.

The story begins with a realistic war scene, but its core is the humanistic concern of escorting the youngest son of a family of five, four of whom have died, back home.

That’s why the Normandy Landing became so famous.

In addition to the "Normandy Landing", there is also the success of "Schindler's List", which also gave Judas' descendants a sense of suffering. However, in the future, they will be made completely useless by multiple waves of inhumane bombings from Judas' descendants.

It can be said that early Hollywood was really capable in exporting values.

So much so that even London began to imitate it.

Unfortunately, London's performance at that time was so poor that there is nothing much to say.

I had to be awkward and come up with a film about Churchill's speeches and Dunkirk.

But look beyond the surface and look at the core.

One of these two movies is just empty talk, and the other is a failure and running away. No matter how much they whitewash it, the basic base is still there and it can never be grandiose.

All I can say is that when an empire begins to decline, there is really nothing much to tell.

However, the situation in North America has not yet reached the same level as in London.

Tell the truth.

If Hollywood can maintain the quality of its films, then Hollywood's dominance in the world film industry can at least continue.

But there is no way.

With the extremely unbalanced allocation of resources within North America caused by the monopoly of the financial industry, the situation in North America is becoming somewhat unstable.

North America is in urgent need of all kinds of quick and effective methods. So Hollywood movies began to frequently feature black girls, and characters in movies like "Young Lion" also began to have thin and small eyebrows and eyes, which directly put shit-level values ​​in the eyes of the audience.

But cultural output and firepower output are different.

Firepower output is mandatory, but cultural output is soft and it is useless to force it.

So with Hollywood's blind operations, "The Matrix Reboot" suffered a major failure in the mainland film market.

In the original time and space, "The Matrix Reboot" only took 8575.5 million RMB in the mainland film market. Now on the Changgong Film and Television VR viewing helmet platform, it has only taken half the box office of less than million RMB.

This can be regarded as the official clarion call for Hollywood blockbusters to step down from their dominant position in the mainland film market.

Of course.

It's not just Hollywood blockbusters that have suffered setbacks.

Following Guo Xiaosi, Hanhan also suffered a small setback this time thanks to [Four Seas].

Fortunately, Hanhan reacted quickly and immediately started preparing for [Speeding Life 2], but that’s a story for later.

During this Spring Festival, the companies that made the most money were Yi Yang Qianxi and Mahua Kai Xin Pictures.

The former relied on the box office of "Watergate" with 40.67 billion yuan and "Miracle: The Last Airbender" with 13.79 billion yuan.

He completely freed himself from the constraints of his former identity as one of the three little ones, and replaced Liu Haoran as the number one figure among the new generation in the mainland film and television industry.

After all, Liu Haoran has experienced the failures of "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Four Seas" in the past two years.

Yi Yang Qianxi's fame soared thanks to the consecutive success of "Watergate Bridge" and "Miracle Stupid Kid", which he independently directed.

As for Mahua Kaixin Films, it found for the first time a male lead who could barely replace Hao Jian - Wei Xiang from "The Killer Is Not So Cool".

If you only look at the hit movies during his career.

Wei Xiang's career trajectory is very similar to Hao Jian's. The names of the movies that made them famous are both a bit funny.

One is [Charlotte's Troubles], and the other is [The Killer Is Not So Calm].

But if you look closely at their performance styles, you'll find that Wei Xiang's comedy style is a bit too exaggerated and seems a bit fake, while Hao Jian's comedy style is a bit more powerful.

Therefore, audiences will get a bit bored of Wei Xiang's comedy films after watching them once or twice.

Of course.

This situation is also faced by most comedians.

For example, the mainland film and television industry to date, from the very beginning of Chen Xiaoer, to Feng's comedy, to the rise of Xu Zheng, Wang Baobao and Huang Bo, and the appearance of Hao Jian, has been such a rise and fall.

Therefore, another important reason why most comedians transform in the later period is that they have no choice but to transform. The audience is tired of their comedy performances and they no longer have box office appeal, so they have to find other ways.

Among them, the one with the longest box office appeal and duration is probably Stephen Chow.

It spanned more than twenty years from its popularity in the 1980s and 1990s to the 2000s.

But in the later period, Stephen Chow's performance was a bit off, as can be seen from "CJ7".

Otherwise, Stephen Chow would not have turned directly to behind the scenes to be a director.

Being able to be an actor on stage and a director behind the scenes means he can earn double the money and have greater say. Given Zhou Xingxing's personality, he would never give up easily.
