Chapter 326 Album
After finishing the filming and returning to Kyoto, Ning Sheng had a good rest for a week, and then started busy with the post-production of the movie.

The turmoil caused by the three of Ning Tong at school gradually calmed down. After the students got used to it, there was nothing to be surprised about.

The competition songs of the NLZ group are still online at the same frequency one by one. The three of Ning Tong gradually recovered their student appearance from the state of little stars. They were excited at the beginning, and their swaying mentality gradually recovered. After coming over, I get along well with my classmates in school.

After Ning Cheng came back, he specially invited the three girls to have a meal at the Royal Hotel. Of course, Ning Tong's three girls also took this opportunity to mention the matter of going to school.

In fact, Ning Cheng didn't have any strict requirements for going to university. Ning Tong's studies have always been taken naturally by Ning Cheng, and even for the film school, he could get in if he could, but he couldn't. Forget it, anyway, there are so many actors in the world, and not many of them actually went to professional colleges, especially some big stars, most of them are polished step by step from the bottom, hard work, and some opportunities to rise.

And Ning Tong has his big brother around, so naturally he doesn't need to be so lucky, but for Ning Tong to ask him to help convince his parents, and the parents of the other two little sisters, this matter is not so easy.

Although Ning Cheng hasn't talked about going to school with the parents yet, Huaxia's parents always take their children's going to school very seriously. Even Ning's parents and Ning's mother are now expressing their hope that Ning Tong will graduate from university. , the degree certificate is considered complete.

But this matter is not completely without room for negotiation, especially when the NLZ group becomes popular and earns enough money, I believe parents will not be so persistent, especially when their children themselves dislike going to school more than At most, it's just a little regret in my heart, but the situation of forcing children to go to school will most likely not happen.

Of course, the safest thing to do is to wait until after the release of NLZ's first album and bring them back the real savings, then it will be easier to talk about it.

However, Ning Cheng did not directly agree to the request of the three girls, but agreed that next year he would mention this matter to the parents of each family, but he was not in a hurry, even if they didn't want to go to school, they had to finish high school , it is not too late to talk about not going to school.

The Spring Festival box office fight was fierce and lively, and Ning Cheng was busy with his own post-production, so he was not in the mood to watch it, but the three of Ning Tong took advantage of Sunday to watch all the good ones.

Although foreign films can now join the box office competition for the Spring Festival stalls, local films from Japan and South Korea still cannot escape the fate of cannon fodder, and it is still the blockbuster films from China and the United States that can really compete for the top spot.

Wang Jing's "Magic Master 2" is more modern, and the martial arts moves are even more exaggerated under special effects, but the audience watched it quite lively. Although the word-of-mouth has dropped slightly compared to the first one, it still maintains a score of 7.1, while The box office results are also similar to the first one, except that in the first week, the box office increased by nearly tens of millions to reach 5000 million. In the end, it is estimated that the box office performance of the month is 30 or 27.6 million more than the first film. up.But by then this will be the first film this year that is expected to hit the domestic box office of [-] billion.The first part of Wang Jing's "The Lord of the Demon Cult" can earn [-] billion at the box office in China.

And Wu Yuseng's "Aid Korea and Japanese Invasion" is indeed a big production with an investment of 8.2 million yuan. As Huaxia has always been good at large-scale war scenes, it is even more magnificent. As well as the South Korean actor An Sung-ki, the Japanese actor Ken Watanabe’s performances are very exciting. Although the plot is criticized in some places, it does not affect the good reputation of the whole movie. The score on Douban is as high as 21 points, and the box office performance is even higher. It is always pressing Wang Jing down.After winning the box office championship for two consecutive weeks, the cumulative box office has reached 30 billion, and it is very likely to hit the domestic box office of [-] billion with Wang Jing's "The Lord of the Devil".

However, two weeks before the Spring Festival, two Japanese and Korean films "Late Night Canteen" and "Han River Monster" were released at the same time. The main creative teams of the two films have once again worked hard to promote in cities around the world with good hopes for the Chinese film market.

However, a week later, "Aid Korea and Japanese Invasion" and "The Lord of the Demon Cult" are still on the box office list. The cumulative box office of the two films reached 29 billion and 27 billion respectively in the third week. The hope of breaking 30 billion is just around the corner. up.

As for the two Japanese and South Korean films, one ranked eighth and the other ranked ninth. Like brothers and sisters, the two barely broke through 5000 million.This made the two film teams a little discouraged.

However, if the box office results are maintained until the end of the screening period, the results are still very good, at least around [-] million.

However, following the fourth week of Hollywood blockbusters "Prometheus" and "Transformers 4" were released one after another, under the pressure of four Chinese and American blockbusters, the box office results of "Late Night Canteen" and "Han River Monster" dropped directly to 3000 million the following.

However, "Aid Korea and Japan" and "The Demon Lord 2" ranked third and fourth with 6.5 million and 5.4 million in a single week respectively. The champion was won by "Transformers 4" with 11.3 billion, and the runner-up was 9.8 million from Prometheus.

The reason why "Transformers 4" has such a great ability to attract money is that apart from Hollywood's consistently strong special effects and Transformers' big IP, the leading actor in this movie is Lu Han, a popular Chinese idol, which plays a big role.

Because of the power of China in this world and the prosperity of the film market, Hollywood film and television companies have obviously made great compromises in order to please the Chinese audience. Therefore, this "Transformers 4" has been scolded by many fans in North America. , but fortunately for this series of movies, the real characters have never been humans, but those giant toys.

So, from this aspect, it is definitely a very good choice to choose a popular and handsome young man who is liked by Chinese audiences, and a blonde and long-legged beauty who is liked by American audiences.

In particular, when the box office results of the two places came out, it proved this point even more. China's first week was 11.3 billion, and North America's first week was 1.2 million US dollars. The producer optimistically estimated that this movie will be the highest-grossing movie in this series One, is expected to exceed 20 billion US dollars in the world.

Seeing the high box office of Hollywood blockbusters in the Chinese market, the media in Japan and South Korea were not happy, and the reports were full of a feeling of not looking for grapes and talking about gluconic acid.

Tokyo Film Weekly wrote, "The audience of Huaxia Film Market is like a timid child. They only like the candies made by their parents and the most beautifully packaged candies sold outside, but they don't like those with mediocre packaging, but actually taste great. This will make them lose the opportunity to taste a lot of better-tasting candies, and it will also cause other candy manufacturers to reduce production or even stop production because they cannot make money. At that time, enough is enough Chinese audiences with two flavors of candy will find that there is no other candy to buy in the market!"

Seoul Entertainment News reported that "As the boss of Asian culture and the center of Asian civilization, Chinese people sneer at Japanese and Korean Asian cultures that were bred under the influence of Chinese civilization, and they have no idea of ​​tolerance and support. Disappointed! Shouldn't we work together to promote our Asian culture?"

For these Japanese and Korean media reports, the Huaxia media glanced at them and didn't bother to pay attention, because the current fierce box office war needs attention. Will the Japanese and Korean media deliberately go to Huaxia's online platform to read the reply? In short, a group of netizens are replying and complaining, having a good time.

"What the Tokyo media said is correct. We can't just watch Chinese and Hollywood blockbusters. Japanese and Korean small movies also need to be paid attention to. Otherwise, where can we find high-quality small videos for adult education action movies in the future?"

"I'm also very supportive of good movies like porn, but they won't be released in theaters. The RB colleagues made a mistake in exporting movies. Anime and porn are the things that people all over the world like. !"

"My grandpa wanted to do something when he saw little RB. How can I go to see it? Wouldn't it be unfilial to go there?"

"Japanese and Korean culture can indeed be said to be a subculture derived from our Chinese culture, but when we can't read all the authentic Chinese culture, why bother to look at something derived from our own culture?"

"I like Korean K-POP, but Korean movies, to be honest, the character performances are always exaggerated like crazy, I can't watch it!"

"The Korean beauty is still very good, but I don't know if she has had surgery!"

"This matter can't be verified, unless you find a Korean wife and give birth to a child, then you can see the real shape of your wife from the appearance of the child hahaha——"

The noisy Spring Festival has finally come to an end, and the aggressive Hollywood blockbusters are still unable to match the local Chinese blockbusters. The box office champion of the Spring Festival is won by the war blockbuster "Aid Korea and Japanese Invasion" with a box office of 36.8 billion in China, and the global box office is 45 billion. 31.4 billion to close. "The Lord of the Demon Cult" ended its screening with a Chinese box office of 38 billion and a global box office of [-] billion.

Compared to Hollywood blockbusters, which have no trouble reaping the box office in China, it is difficult for Huaxia films to reap the box office in the North American film market.

It's not just the differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Sometimes Chinese movies are like a bible or incomprehensible to Western audiences.

For example, Zhang Wuji in "The Lord of the Devil's Cult" has various magical abilities because he has practiced the Nine Suns Magic Art and the Great Teleportation of the Universe. Chinese people can easily understand the characteristics of the film, and other Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea can also understand what is behind the understanding of Chinese culture. Westerners want to understand why the hero in the movie can shoot special effects like a laser cannon with one palm , then it is estimated that there will be a lot of Chinese books to go back.

Not to mention that when some Chinese words are translated into English, things that affect the original meaning will happen and so on.

Although it is often said that there is no distinction between high and low cultures, the things that Chinese culture has bred in the 5000-year history are really not something ordinary people can understand with a few books.

Therefore, Western movies and culture seem to be basic things in the eyes of Chinese people. They can be understood at a glance, and there is nothing that they can't understand or don't understand.

In the eyes of Westerners, Chinese movies and culture are like encrypted gibberish. Only through learning and decrypting can the real content be discovered.

Therefore, over the years, movies with good box office results in North America and the West are either urban dramas or express Chinese culture in a front-line way that Westerners can understand. When everyone enters the show and finds that they can't understand it at all, then naturally no one will watch it anymore.

Although Chinese culture has an unparalleled influence in Asia, it is still only one of the many things that people are interested in in the Western world. Therefore, are Chinese movies still the choice of most audiences in the West, especially martial arts movies and the like.

However, some modern Chinese films have been very popular in the West for many times, and martial arts films, except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, are almost all modern kung fu films, such as the former Bruce Lee film , and now Cheng Long's Kung Fu comedy.

Now in terms of popularity in Hollywood alone, Cheng Long is undoubtedly more famous. Fa Ge, who was famous in Europe and the United States with "The True Colors of Heroes", "God of Gamblers" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", is in Hollywood because of " Stand Killer and Bulletproof Monk failed one after another and left Hollywood, returning to China to develop again.

After seeing the difficult development environment for Asians in Hollywood, Cheng Long decided to continue to stabilize in Asia, and then go to Hollywood to test the waters in a few years.

For Ning Sheng, the bustle of the film market was nothing more than a fun to watch. When the winter vacation came and Ning Tong's three girls returned to the company, Huijie Records immediately launched the promotion for their first official album.

The first album of the NLZ group was recorded before the start of the competition. It took several months to complete the recording of the rehearsal tape. Now that the three members are on winter vacation and there is time for publicity, it is naturally as planned started.

In this album of NLZ, apart from the few songs that they participated in the competition before, the others are all SHE's selection works that Ning Sheng prepared for them, although it seems to be inferior to the songs in Ning Sheng's own album, But there is no way, there are only so many songs that can be regarded as classics by the girl groups in the Chinese music scene, but as the first album, it is indeed enough to lay a solid foundation for the NLZ group.

Ning Cheng didn't go out with a few girls, letting them experience the hard work of singers running publicity, it was also training for them.

"NLZ group's first Mandarin album "I Don't Want to Grow Up" is officially released! The first week's sales exceeded 150 million copies! Airborne to the No. [-] album list!"

"NLZ's first album "I Don't Want to Grow Up" sold more than 30 copies in Korea in the first week!"

"NLZ's album "I Don't Want to Grow Up" sold more than 50 copies in RB's first week, becoming the first foreign girl group to exceed 50 copies in the first week!"
