Chapter 553 Korean movies may not survive
Entering March, the entire film market seems to have entered the off-season.

The total box office of movies in February was 53.8 billion.

But everyone is used to it. After all, March and April are off-season, and box office output has always been poor.

In the past two months, everyone has been busy making money, and there are no popular festivals, so naturally there are fewer movie theaters.

"The Wandering Earth 3" became the king throughout February. The box office champion every week belongs to "The Wandering Earth 2".

However, there are two movies that perform quite well.

One is "Bear Bears. Come with My Bear Heart", which has a box office of more than 15 billion, and the other is "Deep Sea", which has a box office of more than 10 billion. Two animated films in the same period have a box office of more than [-] billion. This has never happened before.

On the contrary, the performance of the movie "Avatar: Water Path" is far from market expectations. Others thought that this movie would sweep the entire mainland market just like it did in North America. However, so far, 14 The box office has not exceeded [-] million yet.

"The Wandering Earth 3" continues to harvest box office, and it is expected to be released in late April to make room for the May Day release. After all, even if it is still released by then, the box office will not be much.

Now, it’s available on demand on TV.

Also starting from March, there are more and more Hollywood movies, and some movies from other countries will also be mainly scheduled in these months.

For several consecutive years, the Chinese film market has surpassed the North American film market to become the world's largest single film market. No film company can ignore the Chinese film market.

Indian Bollywood, European movies, Russian movies, Japanese and Korean movies, and Iranian movies all want a piece of the pie.

But now, the decline of Korean movies has become apparent, and some media are even exclaiming that Korean movies are on the verge of death.

So far in 2022, only one of the top ten box office movies in South Korea is a local movie, and the majority is occupied by Hollywood movies, Japanese movies and Chinese-language movies.

This situation has entered 2023, and it has been two full months now, but there has been no improvement.

This was unimaginable in the past.

In the past, three to five of the top ten box-office-grossing Korean films were usually Korean films!

What's even worse is that losses are common among South Korean local films. Only a few films in a whole year have made a profit, while all others have suffered losses.

And due to the unclear profit prospects, investment has been greatly reduced. Specific to the shooting level, that is, so far, South Korea has not even started production of a single movie.

According to the latest situation, in the first half of 2023, only seven or eight Korean movies will be filmed, and the number is not expected to exceed 20 for the whole year.

You should know that in normal years in the past, the number of local films shot in South Korea was more than 200.

Due to the significant reduction in production, actors' salaries have also dropped significantly, with the drop even reaching 30% to 50%.

It can be said that the current predicament of Korean movies has both external and internal reasons.

The external reason is that blockbusters continue to enter the Korean film market, constantly impacting the Korean film market, and at the same time allowing Korean films to go global.The internal reason is that the internal market is too small to support large-scale local film productions. After all, films have cultural restrictions. First, the local market must be able to at least maintain capital. There is no doubt that if a blockbuster movie cannot support it, it is equivalent to being cut off. Lost a leg, and then the movie theaters have lost control and can no longer forcefully fix schedules. This is also because many film productions are no longer aimed at showing in movie theaters, but are sold to Netflix and become part-time workers for Netflix. young.

Under this circumstance, the Korean film market has also experienced this situation.

All we can say is that having a developed country on our head will inevitably cost us something.

In the fierce competition between movie theaters and streaming media, Korean movies are the first to die. This is probably something no one expected.It is not that there are some people who want to cause trouble this year, but it is not Wanda Cinemas that controls the cinemas, but AMC Cinemas. Although they are essentially the same, the manifestations are different. The president of AMC Cinemas easily settled the matter. Got this.

Speaking of which, it can only be said that Korean movies have reached this point because of their own fault.

I think back then, Korean entertainment was very popular in China, with many fans ranging from aunts to students. Hallyu has become a trend and fashion. For those Korean female stars with long legs and good looks, boys have no idea. Resistant.And girls are even more crazy about those oppas.

He just wanted to kill himself and smashed the bowl while eating. As a result, he lost a rapidly growing market.

Well now, it is impossible to start over.

In the past, you ignored me, but today I have made it impossible for you to reach your heights. This is how it is true.

Now it is the movie market, maybe in the near future it will be the TV series market, and then there will be the music industry.
In the end, the Korean entertainment industry is like that.

If you still can't truly understand the miserable situation of Korean movies, then open some websites and you will find that the number of Korean action movies is catching up with Japanese action movies at an extremely fast speed.

Entering March, Li Hao is also busy, that is, attending the two sessions.

March is very special in China, it is the time of the two sessions, which also attracts much attention.

As an important part of the cultural industry, the film and television industry has many celebrity fans, and naturally a number of representatives have been born.

Li Hao is not only a representative among directors, but also a representative of film and television company entrepreneurs, and even more so a representative of entrepreneurs across the country.

Jingtian is no exception. After all, he is full of honors and has a relatively good reputation.

Not to mention Tong Liya, she also has a Xibe BUFF, which she has had since 2013.

Several people from Haotian Media also participated in the meeting.

Although you can ask for leave, those who can attend the meeting will do their best to attend.

This time, there are more than 120 representatives from the cultural and art circles. It can be imagined that this circle is a large producer of representatives.

There is another very special situation this year, that is, representatives from the entertainment industry from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places came together.

After three years, it can be said that whether it is Xiangjiang Film and Television or Baodao Film and Television, everything is under the control of Li Hao.

In terms of television, it is directly TVB. In terms of movies, it directly controls the cinemas and directly strangles their necks.

The only thing left lacking is the music.

This also leads to many people no longer dare to be two-faced people, one side here and another side.

After all, everyone needs to eat.

TVB's TV station in Baodao has gathered a group of professors to continuously launch programs. There are even professors who take students on trips during the summer vacation, and then produce programs to improve the effectiveness of the programs.

It's just that TVB has also been under a lot of pressure, but these pressures have been withstood.
