Beijing International Airport.

After an absence of several months, Wu Yuan returned to this familiar land again.

"The Martian" is scheduled to be released domestically more than a month later than international standards, and is scheduled to be released nationwide on August 8.

There is nothing we can do about this.

It is quite troublesome to have simultaneous global premieres these days. After all, it is not easy to coordinate the schedules of two countries on the other side of the ocean.

Just like if "The Martian" is also scheduled to be released in July in China, it will collide with Light and Shadow Era's own "Predecessor".

With the thin arms and legs of "Raiders of the Exes", it is like a mantis in front of "The Martian". If it is released together, it is estimated that the box office will only have 10 million left.

Therefore, "The Martian" must be postponed for a while in China.

Fortunately, the movie-watching habits of domestic movie fans have been cultivated. Even if it has been released abroad and a gun version of the movie has appeared on the domestic Internet, viewers who are interested in "The Martian" are still willing and hope to watch it. Saw it at the cinema.

This is an IMAX 3D movie after all.

Since the emergence of IMAX 3D technology, the market for "pirated" and "Blu-ray" movies has not been as big as before.

I think there are almost no cases like Wu Yuan setting up stalls everywhere to sell pirated discs.

After ten years of vigorous development, the pirated disc market has basically become a sunset industry.

There is no way, most people may no longer have DVD, VCD and other equipment in their homes.

Coupled with the fact that market regulatory authorities have also begun to crack down hard on piracy, the characteristics of an era have gradually disappeared.

Watching pirated movies on the Internet has also been curbed. Although you can still find gun versions and even Blu-ray videos if you want, the current movies are indeed not as good as those on the big screen when viewed on a small screen.

Everyone has gradually become accustomed to going to movie theaters and enjoying beautiful visual effects on the super-large screen.

It can be said that the emergence of IMAX 3D technology has given the global movie market a second spring.

Before the emergence of IMAX 3D movies, there were only five movies with a box office of more than 10 billion US dollars in the world. After the emergence of IMAX 3D technology, there were more than five movies with a box office of more than 10 billion US dollars in a year.

This has nothing to do with the growth of population or economic development. It is purely IMAX 3D movies that attract the public back to the cinema.

"IMAX 3D technology is really great." Thinking of this, Wu Yuan couldn't help but murmured.

"Huh?" Liu Yifei, who came to pick him up at the airport, raised her head in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Wu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "By the way, what are the box office results of "Get Out!" and "The Story of My Ex"?"

During his time in the United States, several films from the Light and Shadow Era were released.

Not to mention those literary films, there are two commercial films that Wu Yuan is still paying attention to.

"The final box office of "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" in the mainland was 6.26 million. This result is unprecedented for an urban movie and has broken countless records."

"And this movie has done well at the box office in Asia. It earned 16 billion yen in box office in Japan, and attracted 90 moviegoers in South Korea. It also earned nearly million US dollars in box office in Southeast Asia. "

"Although this achievement is still not comparable to local films from various countries, it is already remarkable among Chinese films going overseas."

Liu Yifei said excitedly.

Times have changed. It is hard to see Chinese movies like "Hero", "Red Cliff" and "Your Name" that earned tens of billions of yen at the box office in Japan and South Korea and seven to eight million moviegoers again. The film markets in various countries are constantly segmented and developed, and the rejection of foreign films is also getting deeper.

In addition, in the era of light and shadow, the focus is now more and more on the domestic market. When making movies, most of them tend to be localized, so these movies may not be very popular overseas.

But "Go Away Tumor" is different. It is a story about an optimistic girl who actively fights cancer. This kind of story is not unpopular, especially in Asia.

"Now, film companies from Japan, South Korea, and even Thailand are getting in touch and want to buy the remake rights of "Get Out! Mr. Tumor"."

"They felt that the story was very positive and wanted to remake it into a more localized film and release it in their country."

"I heard that the company made over ten million dollars just by selling copyrights!"

Liu Yifei giggled, very satisfied with the gossip she heard in the company.

After all, she is the star of "Get Out!" The heroine of "Tumor King", and she is the leading heroine. The better the performance of this movie, the happier she will be.

"And I was also shortlisted for the Huading Award for Best Actress and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress!"

""Get Out! Tumor King" was also released in Taiwan, with a box office of more than NT$80 million, and Hong Kong Island also took in a box office of more than NT$10 million."

"This movie is very successful!"

Wu Yuan smiled and touched Liu Yifei's head: "Yes, does it make you pretty?"

"What about "Strategy of the Exes"? This movie has been released for more than a month, right?"

"The results of this movie are definitely not as good as "Get Out! Tumor King". Director Tian Yusheng worked hard to promote it, and in the end it only earned 1.26 million at the box office."

"But it's already very profitable. After all, the cost of this movie is less than 2000 million."

"Now the company plans to continue the production of the sequel."

Although the "Ex Raiders" in this life has a butterfly effect, the actors are basically the same group of people. However, perhaps because of the different release time, the box office results in this life are millions less than in the previous life.

But it doesn’t hurt. Anyway, the production cost of the "Predecessor Raiders" series is very low. In theory, if the box office exceeds 100 million, it will be considered a big profit.

For example, Wang Likun is the company's own actor, which saves money.

It's just that the reputation of this movie is very average. The Douban score is only 5 points, which is a complete failure.

There is no way, as the era of light and shadow becomes bigger and bigger, it is impossible to repeat the situation of "light and shadow products must be high-quality" as before. The company will still produce some movies that are suitable for selling at the box office, but the content is exaggerated and too exaggerated. A commercial movie.

Fortunately, in the age of light and shadow, there are still a few high-quality movies that can save face every year.

"I understand." Wu Yuan nodded seriously: "This time I returned to China mainly to work on the Asian release of "The Martian."

"After finishing the Asian release of this movie, "Dear" will almost be released in China."

"After "Dear" is released, I have to take a break for half a year. It's really tiring to work on the movie continuously."

"But I do have an idea for my next movie. It must be a Chinese science fiction blockbuster!"

"Movie fans have been waiting for too long!" (End of this chapter)
