You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 201: Collapse at the first touch, the little breaking ball takes off

"To tell you the truth, I went to see "The Three-Body Problem" today!"

Little Quail got straight to the point. He knew that the water friends in the live broadcast room were in the same complicated mood. Many of them hoped that "The Three-Body Problem" could be filmed well, because many of them were fans of the original "The Three-Body Problem".

But many of them are fans of Xihong Film and Television. Of course they hope that Xihong Film and Television can win, which creates their complicated psychology at this time.

But reality is reality and will not change due to human will.

[Good news, "Three-Body Problem" must be pulled! 】

[Ah, good news: Weinstein's "The Three-Body Problem" has been released, bad news: the "Three-Body Problem" movie has been released]

【? ? ? 】

[Hasn’t the anchor not commented yet? 】

[Upstairs, if you watch the live broadcast of the anchor a few more times, you will know what kind of urine this anchor is, and you will understand why everyone says this]

Also before Little Quail could speak, many old audience members opened champagne during the half-time show. Apparently they knew Little Quail very well.

"Let me talk about the conclusion first. In fact, except for the casting problem, Weinstein's "The Three-Body Problem" is not that bad." After a pause, he continued, "But it's not good-looking either!"

Little Quail was also a little helpless. Since everyone had seen through his underwear, there was no need for him to hide it. He simply got straight to the point, "Old viewers who are familiar with me know that I am never objective, so next Comments are subject to different opinions.”

"First of all, we should give Brother Chen Kai credit. He cannot say it is an adaptation, it can only be said to be a copy, because his drama is really based on the original work of "The Three-Body Problem", including the storyboards and lines... It can be said that it respects the original work very much, and there are no magic changes, so it’s a big plus!”

"Some fans of the original novel will definitely like it."

"But what should I say? If it is completely based on the original work, will it look good?"

"Novel and film and television dramas are naturally two different forms of expression. Novels have psychological descriptions and atmosphere descriptions, and because they are not concrete, they can give readers more room for understanding and imagination.

But film and television dramas must be shown through audio, video and pictures. There are many things that can be explained in words, but when put on the screen, it is not the same. "

"Then the plot is too slow, and I don't know if Weinstein has any grand plans, and wants to make a dozen or so movies like "Fast and Furious"... It's only been 10 minutes since the beginning, and the Three-Body Game has not even been released yet. online.

Here I have to mention "The Wandering Earth" again. In the three hours of content, there is not a single idle word. It is really full of interesting information! "

"Also, there are too many soundtracks in it, which overwhelm the focus. It feels like you are watching a music MV of more than 100 minutes, which greatly affects the emotional involvement."

"Looking at the overall plot, we can see the hard work of the creative team, but some things just don't come with hard work. If you don't have that diamond, don't take that porcelain job!"

"I think Director Chen Kaige may have some misunderstanding about the adaptation. If we just copy the original work, then what do we need you as a director to do?"

"It is also an adaptation of a novel. We can get a completely opposite impression from "The Wandering Earth". Su You's adaptation of the original work is actually very powerful, but it does not lose the touch that the original work brings to us. At the same time, These adaptations make the original work fuller and more touching. Such film and television adaptations have brought "The Wandering Earth" to a new level.

As for "The Three-Body Problem" adapted by Chen Kaige, I can only give negative points. Even a wonderful work like "The Three-Body Problem", after his film and television adaptation, can only hover around the passing line.If you include the casting issue, Weinstein's "The Three-Body Problem" failed me. "

"I can tell you clearly that although director Chen Kaige once had a brilliant performance, he obviously can no longer make movies. If "The Three-Body Problem" was made by the old thief Su You, it would definitely not be what it is now. "

"Kicking out the old thief Su You is definitely the worst decision Weinstein Pictures has ever made in its life! It is even an outrageous operation that ranks among the top five in the history of the entire film and television industry!"

[Pertinent, support the anchor, I also went to watch the screening of "The Three-Body Problem", and this is indeed the feeling]

[Laughing, some people actually think that the anchor is right. This anchor’s butt is crooked. Well, but this time I think he is right]

[I’ve even pulled out my 40-meter sword, don’t care, let’s give it a good burial]

Everyone in the live broadcast room made jokes, but there was no refutation. After all, the Weinstein Films' funds were limited, and there were not many trolls in the live broadcast room. Therefore, the unsightly impression of "The Three-Body Problem" was imprinted on most viewers. friends’ minds.

……

"impossible!"

"how can that be?"

In view of his current reputation in China, Brother Chen Kai has not returned to China recently, and naturally he did not attend the premiere of "The Wandering Earth". Of course, even if he returned to China, he would not attend.

But "The Wandering Earth" was also released simultaneously around the world, so naturally it was also screened in beautiful countries.

In the cinema, after watching "The Wandering Earth", Brother Chen Kai's eyes were dull and his face turned pale.

He is also a director, although his level may be a little lower, but he still has basic taste. He can feel that "The Wandering Earth" is much better than "The Three-Body Problem" he shot!

Perfect adaptation!
Wonderful story!
No less special effects than Hollywood!

He has lost.

Brother Chen Kai couldn't believe that this was a science fiction film made by Chinese people, and he couldn't even believe that it was a film made by that little guy Su You.

Story and adaptation aside, how did he achieve the special effects?
At this time, he saw the words "Wandering in All Directions" and "Helium Flash Studio" on the credits, and suddenly realized that Xihong Film and Television did not have no experience in special effects.

He has seen the special effects of "I [-]"!
But why does this team have such strong technical capabilities?

Before this, they were obviously just an unknown independent studio.

There are so many details in the film, how did they do it in such a short time?
He had the support of the Hollywood film industry, and he was able to complete the filming as scheduled.

How did Su You do it without these?
There are a hundred thousand whys in my heart.

Brother Chen Kai was kicked out of the theater by the cleaning uncle.

["The Wandering Earth" is a science fiction film more suitable for Chinese babies' physiques]

[I was really moved after watching "The Wandering Earth". I burst into tears when I saw Teacher Sha Yi's words about those over 50 years old being listed.]

[Also when starting the root server, teams after teams of people came forward to fight for the same goal. This reminded me of the rescue scenes when China experienced major disasters in recent years.

This is China!
Only in China would something like this happen. In the past Hollywood movies, some loser suddenly woke up and saved the world, but now, we rely on the unity of everyone to survive the crisis! 】

【That’s so well said!I also felt very friendly when I watched it. It was only after you said this that I realized that it was really like this. No wonder I was so moved when I watched it! 】

Looking at these comments, Brother Chen Kai felt a little confused.

He just noticed that "The Wandering Earth" seems to be a completely anti-Hollywood work. Everyone is a hero. Even if there is no protagonist, the next protagonist will emerge.Just like when the Internet root server is restarted in the film, the Dongjing and Dulles servers have already been restarted, but the protagonist group with the camera is holding back...

There is more than one such detail in the film. During the crisis of the Ark's fall, before Liu Peiqiang and others subdued the infiltrating enemies, he was given other shots of the space elevator. Someone also subdued the infiltrating enemies...

When arranging the poached egg phased array, Liu Peiqiang's team was the last one to complete the deployment...

Isn’t the spirit conveyed in the film exactly the spirit China conveys to the world?
Brother Chen Kai was a little confused in his eyes.

As a director, he shouldn't be so slow. He only realized this after reading other people's comments.

Are you really old?Already out of step with the times?
Brother Chen Kai soon discovered a terrible fact. He was not old, but that he had forgotten his roots after standing at a high place for a long time!
It’s no wonder that audiences don’t buy into the movies he makes.

……

7 month 19 day.

Weinstein Studios, conference room.

Snapped!
The innocent fruit computer was smashed to the ground, and pieces flew into the air. Harvey still felt upset and kicked over the demonstration whiteboard.

Everyone in the entire conference room had pale faces.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

"How could China produce such special effects?"

Harvey roared angrily and looked at everyone in the conference room with evil eyes. He wondered if there was a traitor in Hollywood who was secretly supporting his opponent.

In his opinion, the special effects in "The Wandering Earth" can only be achieved by the Hollywood special effects team.

"It's really not our people who did it. The few well-known special effects teams have other jobs these days and can't spare their time."

Bob, who is in charge of intelligence, has a bitter look on his face. This damn Easterner is really a Xiaoqiang. If you don't pay attention, he will suddenly emerge in certain fields, rising at a speed that you can't even imagine, and even surpassing you.

Before "The Wandering Earth", they felt that there was a 20-[-]-year gap between China's special effects and theirs. It was only now that they discovered, where is the gap?
According to this trend, I am afraid that there will soon be a gap of 20 years between them and the Chinese.

Bob still could only smile helplessly.

"The Wandering Earth 2" had a box office of 4.7 million on its first day in China!
The film schedule accounted for 26.7%, the attendance rate was 71.9%, and the box office accounted for 82.3%!

The first-day box office of "The Three-Body Problem" in China was 4357 million!
They failed. The Weinstein Films completely failed this time. They didn't even compete with each other before they collapsed. On the first day, the box office was more than ten times behind that of The Wandering Earth.

But that's not what pissed Harvey off the most.

What makes him even more uneasy is that the Chinese film and television industry did not deliberately target them this time. Although the first-day screening rate was slightly lower than that of "The Wandering Earth 2", it was still 25.8%, which can be said to be a good deal.

However, the answer they gave was that the attendance rate was 21.3% and the box office share was 9.6%...

That's all. He admitted that he couldn't beat Xihongshi Film and Television in China.

However, in North America they failed miserably as well.

Relying on Su You's reputation of just winning an Oscar, this time "The Wandering Earth" opened with 2000+ openings when it was released, which is not much different from the 3000+ of "The Three-Body Problem".

However, in the final box office on the first day, "The Wandering Earth" still led "The Three-Body Problem" with a box office of 1364 million U.S. dollars, which was 1175 million U.S. dollars.

Even if they open more studios and fight locally, Weinstein Pictures still loses.

Although the ratings of the major platforms have not yet come out at this time, we can know from the public opinion on the Internet that the reputation of "Three-Body" is far less than that of "The Wandering Earth", even on the Internet among beautiful Chinese.

For beautiful Chinese people, this is originally a Chinese science fiction story, and it was shot by an unknown old Chinese man. The shooting was inexplicable and foggy, so naturally they would not buy it.

And compared to China, where most people have read the original work of "The Three-Body Problem", there are not that many fans of the original work of "The Three-Body Problem" in the beautiful country. Brother Chen Kai's filming method of completely copying the original work makes many viewers unable to understand it at all.

It is foreseeable that the subsequent box office performance of "The Three-Body Problem" will be even more ugly.

Harvey blushed when he thought of this data.

If it's other times, that's fine. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The Weinstein family has a huge business and can afford to lose on a few movies.

But when is it now?
It's time for a decisive battle with Xihongshi Film and Television at the top of the Forbidden City!
It's time to prove his vision of Harvey!
However, the fight between gods that everyone was expecting did not come, and the battle ended before it even started. Weinstein Films, which they thought was the master, was defeated in just one fight, and was sealed by Xihong Films with a sword The throat is not much more difficult than killing a chicken.

Now many people on the Internet are saying, "I can fuck me, after all, it's ten to zero."

As for Harvey's face, it has long since been stepped into the dust and has become the laughing stock of the entire film and television industry.

He also felt a trace of regret in his heart. If he had not replaced Su You, then all the praise for "The Wandering Earth" at this time should be his!
The look he looked at Brother Chen Kai also became unkind. If it weren't for this incompetent old man, how could they have lost so miserably?
Brother Chen Kai saw the look in Harvey's eyes and felt the same anger in his heart. When filming, the producer was the centerpiece. He couldn't speak at all on the set. When it came time to take the blame, it was his turn as the director?
As expected, none of these Hollywood rich men are good at anything!

"The quality of our "Three-Body Problem" is pretty good. Once word of mouth develops, is it possible..."

Bob still held a trace of luck in his heart.

Penguin Pictures, General Manager's Office.

"24.4 billion in the first week!"

When Sun Huaizhong heard this number, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Crazy, so crazy!
Not to mention unprecedented, this achievement is at least unprecedented.

You know, "Avengers: Infinity War", the current box office record holder for Chinese-language movies, is only 3 billion. To surpass this record, "The Wandering Earth" only took one week!
Finally one day, the Chinese movie’s box office champion was no longer a Hollywood movie!
Not only that, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded [-] million dollars in its first week overseas!

Prior to this, there was only one Chinese-language film with an overseas box office of over [-] million dollars, which was also Xihong Film and Television's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". After that, the overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded [-] million dollars!

That young guy created one miracle after another, left one record after another, and then broke them one after another with his own hands!
As for the opposite "Three-Body Problem".

The first-week box office in mainland China was 1.73 million, and the overseas box office was 6972 million!

With an investment of over 2 billion, "The Three-Body Problem" is destined to suffer huge losses, and there is no hope for the follow-up. I believe many people will not buy tickets for "The Three-Body Problem [-]".

At the beginning, everyone was still discussing the two movies enthusiastically, but now, everyone no longer compares "The Three-Body Problem" with "The Wandering Earth". Weinstein's "The Three-Body Problem" is not even worthy of mentioning the shoes of "The Wandering Earth"!

Sun Huaizhong suddenly regretted that he gave too little back then. If they could have recruited Su You from Xihong Film and Television, with Penguin's help, he believed that this young man would stand taller and go further!
