Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 515: Even if you can’t be black, you have to be black

Does anyone really think that "Pacific Rim" has attracted so much attention in China just because the film added the Hong Kong Island base, Chinese triplets and the Chinese mecha "Storm Red"?

Without Liu Yifei starring, this movie would never have received such high attention in China.

On the afternoon of the 29th, the film held its premiere at Shuangjing UME International Cinema in Beijing.

It can be seen from the premiere how little Warner pays attention to the Chinese market, and how poorly its promotions are done.

Forget it if director Toro doesn't come to the premiere in Beijing, and none of the other creators will come! Because neither Legend nor Warner made any request for this.

Liu Yifei was angry, but after all, this was her film and it was a home battle. Even if no one else came, she had to be there.

Fortunately, Warner didn't do anything wrong and still invited many celebrity guests and media to watch the movie to help.

Liu Yifei is filming in Beijing, so it is very convenient for her to come to the premiere, but this time she cannot wear a formal dress like she attends other events. The celebrity guests who come to the premiere all attend in casual clothes. Her dress today is not too grand. Not being casual, I chose a women's casual suit.

Liu Yifei was the first to walk on the red carpet. She said that she was the main creator and should be the first to welcome the guests.

Reporters present asked Liu Yifei why she was the only one among the main creators to attend the premiere.

At this time, Liu Yifei was about to lie: "They all have their own work to do and are too busy. I happened to be in China, so I came over."

You can't really admit in front of the media that Warner's announcement is ineffective.

"Why didn't Zhang Yuanjun come to support the premiere today?"

Liu Yifei smiled and replied: "The crew has to keep one. With the male and female protagonists gone, the crew will stop working."

"Before coming to the premiere, did Zhang Yuanjun say anything encouraging?"

"I'm not particularly encouraging," Liu Yifei said pointedly, "It's mainly about calming down. I enjoyed the process of making this movie, and now it's time to be tested by the audience."

Finally, a reporter asked a more pointed question: "The performance of "Pacific Rim" overseas is very unsatisfactory, and domestic audiences don't seem to be used to movies like "Pacific Rim". What are your expectations at the box office?"

Liu Yifei could no longer say dejected words at this time: "The box office of the same type of "Transformers" is very good in China." First, she denied the reporter's premise, and then said, "Of course, the more box office, the better."

After walking the red carpet, we entered the premiere theater.

At the ceremony, as the only creative member to attend the premiere, Liu Yifei expressed special thanks to the celebrity guests and media friends who came to support the premiere today.

Then I also shared some interesting things about the shooting, and then started to play the movie.

It's a very simple premiere, but there's nothing I can do about it. The company doesn't pay attention to it and won't pay for it, so I can't even do it even if I want to.

However, at such a simple premiere, the organizers still managed to liven things up a bit.

Zhang Jingchu, Gu Changwei and Lu Chuan were also invited.

Needless to say, Zhang Jingchu and Gu Changwei's scandal, she and Lu Chuan were also involved in a lawsuit.

It is said that Lu Chuan and Qin Lan broke up because Zhang Jingchu refused to change his ways and became a third party.

Fortunately, the two of them were photographed eating alone.

Zhang Jingchu knew that the media had a lot of questions waiting for her, so she arrived late until the movie was about to start. However, she did not accept interviews from the media. She only said hello to the camera and entered the scene. During the post-screening sharing session, Lu Chuan hurriedly left after taking photos on the grounds that it was inconvenient to be interviewed, leaving Zhang Jingchu alone to be tortured by reporters.

"Transformers" is a big hit in China because Big Machine is a global IP. There is actually a group of domestic audiences who grew up watching the "Transformers" animation and playing with Transformers toys. They have a certain fan base. In addition, the domestic audience Craving visual blockbusters.

But "Pacific Rim" only meets the domestic audience's desire for blockbusters. It is an original story with no IP effect, so it will naturally lose some viewers. This is one of the reasons why Hollywood disliked "Pacific Rim". The original story has no IP effect, and investment It's too big, the actors chosen are not top-notch, and the box office appeal is insufficient.

The anti-fans of domestic entertainment also use these reasons to try to prove that "Pacific Rim" cannot sell for money in China. Of course, they often add: "Even if there is support from Liu Yifei's fans, in the face of the market, the power of his fans will not have the final say." It will have a big impact on the box office." They also acknowledged Liu Yifei's current domestic appeal.

Such a blockbuster cannot be carried by a single actor.

This is true.

But sometimes the market just doesn’t make sense!

On the 31st, "Pacific Rim" was released in theaters nationwide.

It sold 6300 million on the first day, second only to the 3 million sold by "Iron Man 1.18", ranking second among imported films on the first day.

You know, the first day is Wednesday!

The marketing account is stupid. I have already written the manuscript, and I am just waiting for the first day's numbers to be released to fill in the numbers. Are you going to do the second one for me?

Okay, you said that Liu Yifei’s fans supported the market on the first day, which held back the market. I believe it. Let’s wait until the real results come out in a few days.

Then, the revenue of "Pacific Rim" fell back to 5407 million on the second day of Thursday, and returned to the 6000 million level on the third day of Friday, with a revenue of 6021 million. The climax occurred on Saturday, when the revenue of that day reached 9630 million, and Sunday's revenue reached 8700 million. The score fell on million.

The first weekend results are out. "Pacific Rim" grossed 5 million in box office in the first five days of its first weekend, still below "Iron Man 3.61".

According to the triple principle, the final box office of "Pacific Rim" is likely to be 10 billion!

Marketing accounts and anti-fans are dumbfounded, how can I antagonize the heroine of a movie with a box office of 10 billion?

No matter 10 billion, you can always find the angle if you look for it.

"Even if it sells over 10 billion domestically, it would only be a little over 1 million when converted into U.S. dollars. The global box office of "Pacific Rim" is still not ideal, and the pressure to repay the capital is still huge."

"The heroine of a mecha monster movie is just a vase. Selling 10 billion, let alone 100 billion, has nothing to do with her. This achievement cannot be attributed to her."

That makes sense!

But the box office performance of "Pacific Rim" is really good. No matter how much the anti-fans say, Liu Yifei cannot be blamed for erasing the fact that she is the heroine of this movie.

When she attended the premiere alone, she was ridiculed for being shabby and not being taken seriously.

Putting numbers can only prove that the performance of "Pacific Rim" is indeed good, and it cannot play a negative role.

So, the old stuff like godfather, thin horse, illegal admission, team with money, etc. came back again.

Oh, two new ones have been added in the past few years, one is dependent on the husband and the other is unworthy of the husband.

If a man is not as good as his wife, he will be scolded for being a coward of his wife, but if a wife is not as good as her husband, there seems to be nothing wrong with eating her husband in the eyes of the public.

But this can become a black spot in the eyes of some people, and they even say that Liu Yifei is the canary raised by Zhang Yuanjun.

Whose canary spends all day and night on the set filming! (End of chapter)
