Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 937: No. 1 in film history!

  Chapter 937 First in film history!

   "The love movie is the same everywhere. No matter how big Chen Mubaihua invests, it still can't change the essence of this movie."

Caitlin sneered: "No matter what reason he was able to do this kind of risky thing, it is enough to show that he was too arrogant and tried to change the market and the audience's choices. In my opinion, his failure is justified. ."

"Especially, in order to move closer to the special effects movie, he actually chose to make this movie in 3D. The ticket price is higher than the price of a 2D movie. However, what special effects shots can this kind of love movie have? Do you pay for special effects 3D romance movies?"

Although Chen Mubai has been successful as their opponent, Caitlin has never underestimated Chen Mubai's strength, but this time, Chen Mubai's ambition is a failure in her opinion, and her vision and investment are very poor. It is definitely a failed move. .

  This can be seen from the box office.

  The audience in North America does not pay the bill.

  Caitlin’s comment on "Titanic" from big data is indeed no problem.

  General movies are evaluated on the basis of quality, box office, and word of mouth. The quality and reputation of literary films are very good, but the box office is not good. And their entertainment company, the most important thing is the box office, especially the investment giant.

  No matter how high my reputation is, it is useless. After all, a loss may be hundreds of millions of dollars. This loss is really too huge. It is really useless to applaud.

  All the films that have been well received have stopped their follow-up development. After all, they have not brought profits, and no amount of word-of-mouth will be able to curb the loss caused by the box office.

   "However, his intention was to hit the Berlin Film Festival. If he can win the prize, it is not a failure. It is just an investment of 200 million US dollars in a love movie. I don't know if Chen Mubai is too ambitious or too arrogant."

  Caitlin is a little bit sorrowful. She loves and hates Chen Mubai.

What loves him is his talent, and his ability to attract money is not comparable to that of many people in the world. Directors who can reach his level are all world-renowned directors. When they are shooting film and television works, they cooperate with the company. They are all equal status and have a certain right to speak. Even investors cannot ignore their opinions. This is the status influence brought by ability!

   also hates his talent, because they are rivals, and the kind that is difficult to reconcile.

  It is a very good thing to have such teammates, but if it is an enemy, it is an unfortunate thing.

  After Trillis listened to Caitlin, he twitched the corner of his mouth, and continued to say what he hadn’t finished.

   "Although "Titanic" has a bad response in the North American market, it has a very good response in the China market. It earned nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in a single day and exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars in a single week!"

  This achievement is a very popular movie even in North America, let alone in China!

Caitlin was silent for a moment, and then said: “It’s not incomprehensible. After all, Huaxia is Chen Mubai’s domain. Coupled with his current achievements and fame, it’s normal for Huaxia’s people to support him. In the past, there were local Huaxia movies that won 4. Is it 500 million dollars at the box office, but the international box office is just average."

   "However, I won such a high box office in the first week. This movie really surprised me. It seems that Chen Mubai's investment should be back. I think this is the best result."

Regardless of the results of "Titanic", with its current box office, plus the distribution of the box office in North America, Europe, etc., this movie does not say that it makes money, but it will definitely not lose money. After all, this movie is still hot. Ying, I can get a lot of box office later.

   Judging from China’s horror box office, the investment in this movie can definitely pay back.

  China is worthy of being the largest ticket warehouse outside of North America and the second largest in the world. In recent years, China’s movie box office has been rising steadily, and many foreign countries have paid more and more attention to this ticket warehouse. It is not unreasonable.

  It's amazing to be able to get such a high box office for a love movie!

  Trills also agrees with this point, but he does not think that "Titanic" can pay back, but that this movie can make money.

Kaitlyn was surprised: "Chen Mubai was right again this time? Even if the world's film market does not pay for his work, but with China's box office is enough to make him pay back, it is no wonder that he has repeatedly invested in large productions, just want to rely on China’s box office pays back?"

"It seems that his propaganda strategy is right. The propaganda strategy that binds the feelings of the people of the country can really keep his works hot. Movie fans are also willing to pay for his works. His international reputation over the years is for him. His works are backfeeding, and he has received universal support in the confrontation with Oscar, and he also defined himself as a [weak] position in order to win sympathy."

  "In this case, the sentiment of the people was incited, which made his works have a higher popularity and explosive box office."

"But it's too early to say everything, and the money for production + announcement is a lot. This movie has a lot of momentum in China because everyone has a holiday during the Spring Festival. According to this trend of performance, there should be a lot of people who have watched it. It’s certainly difficult to increase the box office of the work, and it is estimated that it will not rise a little. The early outbreak has wiped out the box office potential of the work."

Caitlin analyzes what has happened to Chen Mubai in recent years. She never denies Chen Mubai’s talents and talents, but this also requires certain opportunities and marketing methods. Not every genius’s work can be loved by everyone at the same time. Can get such a high degree of heat.

  At least judging from the rise of several talented directors, they are all similar to Chen Mubai, but in terms of influence, the impact of this marketing method on himself and his works is also immeasurable.

  Caitlin believes that in addition to his own talent, Chen Mubai can have such a strong calling ability in China, and a large part of external factors stems from successful marketing methods.

  At the time, China’s promotional slogan for "Iron Man", she also knew that it was indeed a very successful marketing plan.

From the first sci-fi work of national justice as a gimmick, and then under the slogan of super-high production scale and the rise of Chinese special effects and sci-fi blockbusters, the Chinese people will be proud, and the national responsibility will be increased to enhance the influence of the work, so that everyone can actively support this movie , So that the movie's box office got a blowout!

  With the success of "Iron Man", "Titanic" will have such an explosive result, which can be said to be achieved by sitting on the shoulders of "Iron Man".

  At least this achievement in China, although it is a bit unexpected, but it is reasonable.

   "I don't think I will talk about the box office problem, I want to ask you one thing, have you seen this movie?" Triliss actually disagreed with Caitlin's box office estimate of "Titanic".

   "No." Caitlin said in amazement: "What's wrong? I don't have time to watch this movie, but I am concerned about the movie's response in theaters."

  "Do you know the reputation and quality of this movie, and its rating on the film and television works website."

  Caitlin still shook her head and said, “I’m not sure about the details, but I’ve heard of some, and I think it’s very high.

"But this kind of evaluation is nothing. Only the box office is true. When the movie is first released, there will be a professional evaluation team to increase the popularity of the work and attract the audience to watch the movie in the theater, unless the quality of the movie is Too bad, otherwise this kind of bragging sound can last for a while."

  "Titanic" is currently in theaters, and the evaluation and reputation of the work is normal. This is a means that the film and television company will manipulate to increase the popularity of the work.

  In this way, there will always be viewers who like the movie, and there will be some hate, and then the two sides can argue. This kind of noise is also the key to maintaining the popularity of the movie.

  The most afraid of a work is not to be controversial, but to not be discussed, so that there is no attention and heat at all, which is naturally not conducive to the fermentation of the topic of the film and is not conducive to the box office.

  After Caitlin finished speaking, she noticed that Trillis had a solemn expression. She suddenly had a bad feeling: "You have a high rating for this movie?"

Triliss nodded and said: "I watched this movie. Although there were not many people in the theater at the time, everyone watched it very seriously, and the quality of the movie was really high. It was not judged by a professional team. Many passersby recommend it spontaneously."

  Professional team review and the audience spontaneously praised the work. Trillis can tell that he is in this business. Can you not see the traces of the team?

  He hopes that this movie will have a team review, so that he will not be so upset.

   "Can a love movie have such a surprise?" Caitlin was a little unimaginable.

Cui Lisi sighed: "It's not just about love. This film tells a lot of things. According to Chen Mubai's thinking, I think this film may indeed win the Golden Bear Award. Although it does not express politics directly, it causes everything. The root cause is the product of politics, which is the preferred type of work at the Berlin Film Festival."

"So, I think that even if this movie has a loss at the box office and no awards, it still cannot conceal the brilliance of this work. With its reputation and quality, it can also have a profound impact. This is a work that can be remembered in film history, even The history of famous movies, I think in the past few decades, there will be no love movie that can exceed the height of this movie."

  Caitlin looked at Trillis with a serious face and said, "Is it really so good?"

  Trilis nodded firmly: "Yes."

  He didn’t say one more thing. It’s not impossible that this movie’s box office and award-winning things will succeed, but it’s very possible!

  This shows that Chen Mubai’s "brilliant rhetoric" is once again realized, and the shady scene of the last Oscar will forever become an indelible stain that cannot be erased.

  As long as the taint is mentioned, someone will talk about "When happiness comes knocking on the door" and "Titanic". Oscar's original choice made it a joke in this life!

  Originally, the credibility of the Oscar dropped a lot during the last time. Once Chen Mubai won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, his credibility would fall again, even more fierce than the last time.

   "In other words, Chen Mubai is already invincible" Caitlin murmured.

  Trillis is also a bit painful. The opponent he has been facing is so strong. If he falls in front of it several times, anyone will feel a little desperate.

   "It's a pity, I didn't win the cooperation with Mubai Entertainment last time"

  At this moment, Trillis regrets infinitely.

The take-off of Mubai Entertainment is unstoppable, it depends on which step it can reach.

  Before, there have been media jokingly that Mubai Entertainment will become the Hollywood of the East, which caused quite a bit of controversy at that time.

  The success of "Titanic" this time I am afraid that this news will be confirmed, and it will become the existence of the chamber.

  The film and television companies in the world have to have another behemoth, and they are still the only film and television production company from the East!

  The outbreak of "Titanic" stunned everyone, even Huaxia people were amazed by this dazzling performance.

  On the Internet, the topic of movie is still very hot, and many viewers go into the theater to watch the movie every day.

However, compared to the first week, the attendance rate has indeed dropped a lot. This is normal. After all, some people have seen the work. Moreover, because of the fierce momentum of this movie, the theaters have specially added a series of movies for this movie. The film arrangement rate of this movie was as high as 61% at one time!

  This is the box office lineup for the Spring Festival, and the remaining movies can only be divided into the remaining 39%, and there are many works by first-line stars.

  No one’s appeal can be compared with Chen Mubai. Now many film studios are no longer hard-headed, thinking that they can rely on the cast to fight against Chen Mubai’s influence, which is simply a death

   "I really didn't expect this movie to be so popular!"

"Yup."

   "But it is really good-looking, not the same as the love movie I imagined."

  Lu Fang and the others sat together, they exclaimed each other.

  If the success of "Iron Man" was within their expectations, "Titanic" really surprised them.

  After all, no one would have thought that a money-loving movie would be so popular with audiences.

  Compared with science fiction movies like "Iron Man", the special effects are so enjoyable. The audience likes it, and the box office is understandable. It is a bit unimaginable to put it on the money-loving movie.

  If someone told them about the performance of the film before the release of "Titanic", they absolutely did not believe it. When the facts were really in front of everyone, everyone could only be shocked.

   "If I were a woman, I would also fall in love with Mu Bai." Li Feng teased.

  Chen Mubai smiled and said: "Fortunately, you are not a female, otherwise you are destined to be alone for life."

   "Haha!" Lu Fang and others laughed.

   "To be honest, according to the current trend, what is the box office of this movie?" Qian Duoduo asked curiously.

  What they discussed refers to China’s box office, excluding overseas markets.

   "I got 2 billion in the first week, or 4 billion anyway. I still feel that the love movie is a bit imaginary."

  Li Feng gave a relatively conservative figure. He thinks it is not easy for this movie to have such a high box office, but it is still a bit difficult to exceed the 5 billion of "Iron Man".

The two types of works are not the same, and the mainstream of the market now is that sci-fi movies are more popular. Although the box office of "Titanic" is very high, the subsequent box office will be more difficult to rise. Every 100 million is a difficulty, let alone Say one billion!

  Qian Duoduo stretched out a palm: "I dare not say that it surpasses the "Iron Man" score, but barely touched the 5 billion ceiling, it should be about the same."

   "I think so too." The figures given by Shang Ran and others are roughly the same.

  "What do Mubai think?" Everyone looked at Chen Mubai.

   "The first is not a problem."

  Everyone was surprised and said: "China Movies is No. 1 in the box office ranking, that is, it has a box office of more than 5.5 billion!?"

  Chen Mubai’s eyes are very bright and he looks very energetic. The corner of his mouth is outlined with a radian: "I mean the world's first in film history."

  The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone was surprised by Chen Mubai's words.

  This is self-confidence!

  China's No. 1 is no longer in his eyes, and his eyes are turned to the world's No. 1!

  You must know that "Iron Man" had a global box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, and it was also ranked eighth in the world movie box office rankings. If you want to become the first, you must get 2 billion US dollars. This is not easy.

  Tao Yaoyao was the first to break the silence. She raised her tender palms, clenched her fists, and cheered her mouth: "I believe you!"

  Lu Fang hesitated and said: "But the response of this movie in North America is not good."

  The North American market is the largest ticket warehouse. If you want to get good results, you must not do without the box office explosion there. With the results of "Titanic", the difference is a bit far.

  Even if the Southeast Asian market and the European market may be able to bring some box office to the movie in the later stage, it is difficult to make it the number one in the world.

  The cultures of European and American audiences are relatively similar, and their aesthetics are similar, so the taste of film and television works is not very different. If the North American audience does not particularly like "Titanic", I am afraid that this movie may not be popular in Europe.

  It’s a good thing to have confidence, but Lu Fang was afraid that Chen Mubai’s goal was too high, and he would be more disappointed if he didn’t complete it by that time.

  If the grades are not bad, it’s okay, I’m afraid that the difference is too big from the expected difference, which will affect the mood.

   "Don't worry, this is just the beginning." Chen Mubai smiled.

Everything needs an opportunity to break out. The current performance of "Titanic" in North America is not good. It is not that the quality of the film is not good, but that they may think that a Chinese person has a different outlook on love from them. There must be some love works shot. Difference, so I don’t want to see it.

  But this movie was shot with the background of the early 20th century. It restored the social era at that time. In fact, it was the cultural atmosphere of Europe and the United States. They would not notice the obstacles at all.

  The first week has passed, and the topics and popularity of the movie are almost the same. The super high reputation and ratings will definitely attract the attention of netizens, which will make them curious and enter the theater.

  "I believe this movie will break out in North America. I have already contacted Bruce Lee. He will do his best to promote this movie and start this war!"

  Li Feng said in a puzzled way: “I have only now begun to increase publicity in North America. Shouldn’t I do this before the release?”

Chen Mubai explained: "There is a cultural difference here. The cultures of China and North America are different, and the view of love is the same. People there may not like our view of love, so I chose the movie one week after the release. Let people who have watched it leave their comments, and have enough time to ferment the reputation of the movie. When I promote it again, these reputations and comments are the best [weapons]."

"The "Titanic" scored 9.6 points on Rotten Tomatoes website, and word of mouth is overwhelming, so those who are curious only need to search for the relevant information of the movie, and they will definitely be attracted by this quality. After all, the people who score there are themselves. people."

  That's how it is, everyone now understands what Chen Mubai did.

  After that, everyone skipped this topic and started discussing other works.

  Next, Mubai Entertainment needs to launch a lot of works. Shang Ran, Tao Yaoyao and others all have sequels to be produced. The money-rich "Captain China" has already started shooting.

  This does not include the several superhero works of Mubai Entertainment and Solomon.

  Five months later.

  A piece of news shocked the world.

  The global box office of "Titanic" surpassed 2 billion U.S. dollars, becoming the number one in the global movie box office rankings!
