Chapter 309 Chen Shiping's Little Routine

[Titanic's special effects are disappointing, but the story is so touching! ]

[Why are special effects worth $200 million not as good as those worth $5,000? ]

[Titanic is a touching, epic love tragedy! ]

[Titanic's first-day box office was 17 million, far less than Uncharted! ]

[Large-scale nudity may be the key to Titanic's box office success! ]

The day after Titanic was released, there were more reports in the media.

Perhaps because of the advance warning of Uncharted, the audience was not too shocked by the big ship.

A young couple came out of the cinema. The girl was wiping her tears, still moved by the love story of the big ship.

"Why aren't you crying? Why are you so hard-hearted?" the little girl couldn't help but say.

The boy scratched his head and said, "I haven't felt touched yet by my mother loving me again."

"How can it be the same?"

"It's not as touching as Autumn in My Heart."

"That's different too!"

"Winter Sonata is more touching than Big Ship, and the Four Seasons series by Beijing Film Studio is more touching than this."

"Okay then go home and watch Scent of Summer. We haven't finished it yet."

The young man showed a victorious smile on his face and walked away happily with his girlfriend in his arms.

After walking a few steps, the little girl suddenly asked, "Does the pork shreds look good?"

"I didn't see it clearly. I didn't even see it just now. How shameless! You are not wearing any clothes!" the young man said indignantly.

"Nonsense! How do you know she's not wearing any clothes if you didn't see her?"

"Okay, just took a look!"

"So is she prettier or am I prettier?"

"When we get home, pose in the same way for me!"

"Bah! No way! You can't draw!"

This situation has happened in many places.

The girls were so moved at first, and then they kept asking if the pork-shredded silk looked good.

Many viewers discussed the plot, but few discussed the special effects scenes.

The sight of a big ship hitting an iceberg and its hull breaking is indeed spectacular, but not as spectacular as the special effects in Uncharted.

But the story is really touching!

But none of the TV series like "Autumn in My Heart" have such a strong impact.

The audience felt weird after watching it.

The currently popular drama Summer Scent is about a heroine who gets a heart transplant from someone else and then falls in love with the donor's boyfriend.

The donor's boyfriend also fell in love with her, but tried hard to restrain himself.

What a strong sense of fate, the love between two people turns into a story of three hearts, the entanglement of love and hate is so overwhelming!
In short, the audience is now somewhat aesthetically fatigued.

I had just finished watching Uncharted, a movie about special effects, and was numbed by the series of TV dramas from the Beijing Film Studio about love stories.

You say it looks good, and it is indeed good looking. You say it is novel, but it is just so-so.

Anyway, it feels weird after watching it.

The movie is good, but the feeling is not that good
The only thing worth discussing repeatedly is probably that I danced with you naked in flesh-colored stockings.

Asian audiences generally have this feeling, and they don’t have the same sense of freshness as European and American audiences.

The more you are moved, the more immune you will become.

Many viewers were puzzled. How could this be the best in the world?

It's just a few hundred million US dollars, how can it be worth 1.4 billion US dollars!
European and American audiences have really never eaten good pork!
Go home and watch Chinese drama, Scent of Summer is about to end!
Chen Shiping has his own little tricks in every sip and bite!

After seeing the first-day box office in Asia, the people at 20th Century Fox were a little suspicious whether Chen Shiping was doing something behind the scenes!

How come the entire Asian region has only a little over 10 million US dollars?

This unscientific!

People from 20th Century Fox secretly went to many cinemas to investigate, trying to see if their box office revenue had been stolen.

Chen Shiping is not afraid of their investigation. He did not suppress the film schedule and did not steal the box office. You can investigate however you want!
After investigating for four or five days, they found no evidence of box office theft. They only noticed that the theater, which was originally packed with people, gradually began to have empty seats.

The audience said that the big white girl is pretty!

But it’s not satisfying enough, I might as well go to the video hall to watch some X-rated movies.

The French guys shot it much more directly than this!
The Japanese girl in Uncharted wearing a kimono and being entangled by a giant snake is more exciting than this.

The princess's long legs while bathing are also long, thin and white.

Big white girls are just a little plump, and seeing their big breasts makes me feel a little boring.

The nudity of the actors in the female model scandal of Shanghai Film Studio and The Price of Madness of Xi'an Film Studio is not bad!
After watching it once, I don’t want to watch it again!

Without a second viewing, the box office of Big Ship would naturally not go up.

This is a very realistic thing!

Countries in Southeast Asia, especially South Asia, are struggling to make ends meet due to the financial crisis, so it would be great if you could watch this video.

A second viewing is impossible!
After several days of investigation, the people from 20th Century Fox finally concluded that the financial crisis had a huge impact on the Asian market!
Many people in many countries lost their jobs and went bankrupt, including Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.
Blame Wall Street!

The Asian market was once very prosperous, but now it is directly sluggish.

The Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Thai baht, Philippine peso, etc. have all fallen!
Except for the stable performance of the Chinese market, several major voting bases in Japan, South Korea and South Asia have all been sluggish.

Uncharted earned 60 million U.S. dollars at the box office in the Japanese market because it focused on the image of the Japanese female pirate Uesugi Rumi!
Even higher than the mainland market!

But when it comes to big ships, the performance in the Japanese box office market is not good.

In 1996, a Hollywood movie earned a box office of up to 90 million US dollars in Japan!
But now the Japanese are out of money and the market is sluggish. It would have been better if they had come a few months earlier!
If Chen Shiping had not interfered, and if it hadn't been for avoiding the Uncharted Waters, Big Ship would have been released in Japan last December.

At that time, the financial crisis had not yet fully erupted, and the exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar was still below 120.

Unfortunately, it was snatched away by Chen Shiping, and then it was delayed until April of this year. Now the exchange rate of the Japanese yen against the US dollar has reached 140!

Even if Japanese audiences pay to watch movies, the box office won’t go up!

According to estimates, The Big Ship will eventually gross around 250 million at the box office.

I was still thinking about surpassing Uncharted, but now it seems a bit difficult.

Chen Shiping has been secretly happy these days!

It’s not a white card that has been blocking the ship for so long!
Isn't it just to get stuck at the worst time of the financial crisis?

China Film Group also obtained agency rights with several Hollywood companies.

Kill two birds with one stone!

No, it should be three birds!

We also purchased a lot of movie copyrights from several Hollywood companies at low prices and broadcast them on movie channels.

The ratings of the movie channel are rising! The advertising fees are making a lot of money!
At the CCTV auction at the end of this year, the advertising space on the movie channel should also be able to fetch a good price.

The bureau was also very satisfied with Chen Shiping's achievements! Less than half a year after the movie channel was handed over to Chen Shiping, the ratings doubled!
There are so many classic foreign movies in the copyright library!
Greatly fills the movie channel's library!
The leaders are very satisfied with Chen Shiping's vision and keen sense of the market!

If Big Ship performs poorly in the Asian market and its box office performance is not as good as Uncharted.

A fixed impression will be formed in the minds of all viewers.

The world's top-grossing movie is not as good as Asian movies!
It will also let everyone see one thing, that is, Chinese-language films have the final say in the Asian market!

This will have a strong impact on the Asian market!

It will make all countries in Asia develop towards the Chinese film model.

The final impact is completely different!
It's really refreshing! This time it's really refreshing!

Domestic filmmakers are now full of confidence!
It is far from being like in the original time and space where he was hit by a huge ship and became speechless and autistic.

The most important thing is that these filmmakers understand one thing: if Chen Shiping can make such a movie, it means they can also make such a movie!
If Chen Shiping can get more than 300 million US dollars in box office in Asia, then they also have the opportunity to get that much box office!
Even if we don’t have 300 million, 100 million dollars will be fine!

The success of Beijing Film Studio will stimulate more people to invest money in the film industry.

There is no loss in making movies, so everyone is flocking into this industry.

Who would film if it loses money?
In the Asian film market, Chen Shiping's reputation has reached the highest level.

The record holder of movie box office, the controller of Asia's largest distribution network, the controller of Asia's largest film production base, the controller of Asia's largest film market, and the largest investor in Asia's cultural and entertainment industry.
Anyone who sees this guy would call him daddy!
But Mr. Chen is very busy now, as Uncharted has been released in Europe and the United States.

He is waiting to see how Uncharted performs at the box office.

I hope Fox can perform better!
Otherwise, he will really take action on the big ship’s film schedule!
Fox will naturally contribute, and the distribution share is also money!
If Uncharted can gross $300 million in the European and American markets, they can at least make around 70 million!

What a concept 70 million is!

You can’t just ignore the box office of tens of millions just because of a big ship.

On May 3, the box office data from Europe and the United States came back, showing 12 million on the first day, 15 million on the second day, and a cumulative box office of 27 million!

According to the data from the past two days, the box office is likely to exceed 300 million!

Chen Shiping also obtained reviews of the film from European and American audiences through channels.

It’s just that the evaluation was somewhat beyond Chen Shiping’s expectations.

European and American audiences didn’t complain about the plot!
Everyone says that the special effects in the movie are wonderful, full of oriental mystery, and the fantastical creatures and the mysterious and magical sea are full of romantic adventurism!

He also praised the film for its excellent fusion of Eastern mysticism and the style of great navigation!

Chen Shiping looked at the investigation report in his hand, scratched his head, and felt that something was wrong!
Are Europe and America so interested in fantasy that they ignore the lack of depth in the characters?

However, after seeing many viewers say that the snake girl Uesugi Rumi was as dangerous, deadly and sexy as a venomous snake, the black octopus captain was mysterious and powerful, and the princess was brave and fearless with noble character, Chen Shiping suddenly figured it out.

European and American audiences seem to prefer simple and straightforward characters.

To put it bluntly, they like stereotypes, and the image of the characters when they appear is enough for them to identify with them.

As for the character's inner emotional portrayal, it is not very important.

Chen Shiping found it quite interesting. He thought carefully about the characters in some Hollywood blockbusters and found that most of them were like this.

But since the audience likes it, that's great.

If you like it, go watch it. It would be best if it could get a box office of $300 million!

Chen Shiping is somewhat famous in Europe and the United States, not to mention his fame in art films.

It has previously won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and has also released Speed ​​and True Lies in Europe and the United States.

Several art films were also released on videotapes in Europe and the United States, and The Truman Show performed very well.

European and American audiences are somewhat familiar with him.

Another reason may be that there are many non-Chinese characters in the movie.

There are many Indian, Pakistani and Iranian actors in Pirates of the Caribbean.

This may make European and American audiences less repulsive.

The pirates' clothing style also has Nanyang characteristics, which makes it familiar to the audience.

This is also a good idea.

The actors of Uncharted are promoting the film in Europe and the United States, and it was Jackie Chan who took them out.

Jackie Chan has already made three films in Hollywood and has gained some fame, so there is no need to worry about him leading the actors in promotion.

Jackie Chan is very proud that Chinese films perform so well in Europe and the United States!

The key is that more Asian faces appear in the eyes of European and American audiences, then he will become more and more valuable!

Helping them is also helping yourself!

Chen Shiping didn't care about these things. He only cared about the box office. Everything else was illusory.

It is difficult for Chinese-language films to become famous in Europe and the United States.

Occasionally a few movies perform well but it's just because of a combination of various reasons.

Individual cases cannot be the norm.

It’s enough for European and American audiences to earn gold coins. Chen Shiping’s main development focus is still in the Asian market!
People in China are also praising Chen Shiping now, saying that the box office of Uncharted is rising steadily overseas.

Although his reputation is well-known, Chen Shiping is still under tremendous pressure.

Over the past two months, he has visited all units of the group to gain a thorough understanding.

When people from various branches saw him, they either asked for money or support.

Everyone was shouting that they had no money and could not survive.

Everyone treats him as the God of Wealth. Well, he is indeed the God of Wealth. It’s no wonder that the movie has such high box office.

In the past, these people didn’t dare to go to the bureau to ask for money every day, but now they come to China Film and cry for their parents.

Han Laosan now doesn’t dare to go to China Film Corporation for fear that Chen Shiping will ask him for money.

The money of Beijing Film Studio belongs to Beijing Film Studio!

The group has no money, so you have to figure it out!

Chen Shiping had no intention of asking for extra money from the Beijing Film Studio, as long as he paid the sufficient amount every year.

The rest still belong to Beijing Film Studio.

Although it is a group company, it cannot be without rules.

Chen Shiping did not give a single cent to those who came to ask for money, and told them to go to Director Tong.

Shouldn’t the chairman come out to work at this time?
Do you really think that just sitting in the office every day is enough? !
It's just the right time to find something for Director Tong to do, so he doesn't have to scheme behind the scenes every day.

Chen Shiping is now busy working on a new plan.

The merger of various units is for better development, not to subsidize those factories that are not developing well.

Otherwise just give the money directly.

You are all saying you have no money, right?

Come! Mr. Chen will help you reduce your burden! Mr. Chen still cares about you all!

There must be branches under it, right? They all have overlapping businesses, right?

The group will pay these people’s salaries in the future, and the company’s operating costs will also be paid by the group!
You don’t have to bear these expenses anymore, we will reduce your burden!

Everyone was stunned!
You have no moral principles! You took away all the money you earned!
My shopping mall! My trading company! My advertising company! My restaurant!
Managers and factory directors from several units all made an appointment to come and block Chen Shiping's door!
Protest! Chen Shiping is tricking me!
