Perfect Life

At the beginning of the new year, it was supposed to be a time when there was some excitement in the silence, but the entertainment industry after the holiday this year has become extraordinarily lively and exciting.

In February, Liao Liao once again won multiple gold record players by herself at the Grammy Awards, pushing her worldwide influence to a new level.

European and American media began to give her the title of "Queen of China", and praised her voice, her stage style, her beauty and temperament as being "ruling".

And Liao Liao's award, and the high praise she received in Europe and the United States, of course, further pushed the global sales of the album "Four-Beauty" to a new height.

Also in February, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the China Film Association released various big data on the domestic film market in the past 2001.

In the past year, the domestic movie box office sold a total of 5.47356 billion, a slight increase of 240 million over the previous year. At the same time as the data was released, the two major institutions were very optimistic about this data. They believe that the overall film market is warming and is expected to return to more than 6 billion in 2002.

This is bullshit!

In the new year, the movie ticket price has increased by 50%. It is said that it was more than 5.4 billion last year. This year, it will have to be at least 8 billion to be flat. However, it is clear that the officials of the two major institutions do not have the courage to shout 8 billion.

At the beginning of the new year, at present, "My Name is Auspicious" tops the box office charts.

This film, which went offline in mid-February, earned Zhao Meicheng a box office of 270 million - 100 million of which was before the price increase, and 170 million after the price increase.

It should be said that this box office has more or less reassured film company owners and directors who are worried about the audience's opposition to price increases.

Although the attendance rate is indeed lower than that of the same period of previous years, it cannot be resisted that most people will go to the cinema to watch the movie they should watch despite being uncomfortable. After all, a ticket is just a few dollars more expensive. , and the theaters also give relatively large discounts for promotions. In fact, it doesn't cost much. At least the added cost of watching movies will not shut out too many people.

So, the impact is not very big.

And the box office has indeed grown.

So, of course, "My Name is Auspicious" has become Zhao Meicheng's highest-grossing film so far. The film went offline here, and Yuan Ke held a grand celebration reception for the crew and Zhao Meicheng over there.

Then, at the end of February, several blockbuster dramas this year were announced one after another.

Among them, "Once Upon a Time" announced its schedule earlier. Before the Spring Festival, it was announced that it would be released nationwide on April 18. Now, "Life and Death" is confirmed to be released on May 7.

This schedule is 19 days away from "Once Upon a Time", nearly three weeks.

Whether it is tacit understanding or ingenious, the selection of this schedule makes it impossible for anyone to find faults.

Li Qian's film is also a martial arts film. Of course, no one dares to despise it, not even Qin Wei. Therefore, they have given you three full weeks. Anyway, it's not a summer season where every inch of land is fought over. There is absolutely no need for everyone to see the red hard anus, let each other loose time and hurry up, everyone will make a fortune!

But you have to say clever and also make.

As soon as everyone was a martial artist, "Once Upon a Time" became popular, and "The Gate of Life and Death" could be released with the enthusiasm of martial arts. Li Qian's reputation and appeal as a film director is still not comparable to that of the master Qin Wei.

Come again, when "The Gate of Life and Death" is released, "Once Upon a Time" will be in its fourth week. Even if it is popular again, the box office peak will definitely be over. At that time, with the two words Qin Wei, "Life and Death" will definitely be over. The first week of The Door was all about crushing it with ease.

What's more, besides the director Qin Wei, the other big names are also very famous, such as Guo Yulong, He Yingyu, Ming Xiaojing, Fu Hongxue, etc., the appeal is still sufficient!

Therefore, when the first week comes, it directly crushed "Once Upon a Time". Although it does not gain much face, but with such a large investment, before the box office came out, the hearts of Hu Fei and Qin Wei are probably hanging. A stable release and a solid first-week box office are more important than anything else!

Then, with a heart-to-heart, Zheng Yuan's "Plan B" subsequently announced that it would be released on May 25th - 18 days and three weeks away from "Life and Death".

After that, on June 11, the World Cup will start.

Although the opening of the World Cup may not really have a big impact on the box office market of the film, the number of ball games is limited after all, but after all, everyone tacitly chose to show it before the World Cup, trying to avoid the World Cup. influences.

Of course, at the same time that several domestic movies have announced their schedules, there are also several imported Hollywood movies that have also announced their dates for landing in Chinese theaters. What a big impact, but Li Qian, who was traveling, couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw this schedule - if they were still as fierce as in another time and space.

It has been determined that there are mainly four Hollywood movies that will be released in China before the World Cup starts——

A fantasy-themed live-action film, "Pirates of the Caribbean," is set for April 29. It is 11 days later than Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time" and 8 days earlier than Qin Wei's "The Gate of Life and Death".

A fantasy and magic film adapted from a famous novel that sells all over the world, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", is scheduled to be released on May 13. It was only six days later than "Life and Death" and 12 days earlier than "Plan B".

A Hollywood-style spy war blockbuster, "Mission Impossible", is set for May 21st - this is tightly stuck in the middle of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Plan B"!

Finally, in another time and space, it was once known as the most famous cartoon character in the world, but in this time and space in China, it is not widely known, and naturally it is not a comic adaptation movie that has much influence - "Spider" Man". Its set date is June 4.

Perhaps it was also considered to avoid the World Cup in China this year, so after these films were confirmed to be introduced to China for release, they also tacitly chose to be released before the World Cup kicked off.

And if the deterrent power of these movies is not so strong, or, in addition to Li Qian, who will subconsciously be jealous of them as soon as he sees the name, the vast number of Chinese filmmakers and movie audiences, but not If you are too sensitive to these names, then the next few Hollywood movies that will be hit in the summer will be famous even by people from this time and space.

It is initially determined that the traditional spy war blockbuster, "007 Dies Another Day", will be released at the end of June.

"Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones" has been set for July 15 -- the third day after the World Cup's closing ceremony.

And there is another magical epic blockbuster that has been questioned and expected by the European and American film circles before filming has started. It will be the first to start in North America this summer, and will be released globally in the form of East Asia, Australia and Europe. King 1: The Lord of the Rings Returns."

Its China release date has been tentatively set in early August.

In addition, Zong Chengze, general manager of Oriental Culture, also announced that he has obtained the relevant approval from the state and will officially introduce another Hollywood blockbuster called "Jurassic Park".

No one knows how complicated Li Qian's heart is after seeing such a long list, especially after the name of "Jurassic Park".

In the current time and space, the internal continuity of Chinese culture is much stronger than that in other time and space. Therefore, although it is already 2002, there has not really been a complete worship of Hollywood movies in China, especially It is something that lacks cultural background. At present, the visible market in China is not large.

That is to say, movies such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Spider-Man" may be popular in other parts of the world, but in China, for the time being, they still need to be introduced one by one. Cultivate the domestic audience's attention and feelings for these things.

"007" has been verified before. When it enters China, many people will watch it, but it will never become a dominant hit. Speaking of the reasons, it is a bit complicated and there are various factors, but just looking at the phenomenon, this world-renowned spy war series blockbuster may not be more popular than the martial arts giant system of the domestic first-line director.

"Mission Impossible" is also a spy war blockbuster. What will be his fate after he arrives in China?

Not yet known.

Anyway, Li Qian only knows that this Mission Impossible, although it is also called Mission Impossible, obviously does not have Tom Cruise. As for the style of the story, it is not known.

Compared with the above films, the ones that Li Qian valued the most were "Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones", "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The Star Wars series is the earliest Hollywood special effects blockbuster and brain hole blockbuster that is famous all over the world. Over the years, two films have been introduced in China and a group of fans have been cultivated.

"The Lord of the Rings" is sure to have an eye-popping big scene!

Big scenes and exquisite special effects are not only liked by the Chinese people, but by people all over the world, and the Chinese people, in fact, only like them especially!

Then, the Harry Potter series of books are said to be selling well in China. Of course, they cannot be compared with Chinese martial arts novels such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Dragon Babu". After all, cultural differences still exist. , but after all, there is still an audience, so what will happen to the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"?

It's hard to say!

Of course, what Li Qian pays the most attention to is definitely "Jurassic Park".

Although in this time and space, "Jurassic Park" seems to come a little late, "Titanic" has already sieged the world and killed the Quartet, it is finally long overdue.

And it is said that this film has had a lot of troubles along the way. Since it was first proposed to shoot in 1993, the production company has changed three times, and the producer and director have changed frequently until 2000. It was finally confirmed that the American Paramount Company will be responsible for the production, but the director of this film is a person who has only two film production experience before, and has neither box office nor word of mouth.

So in fact, it's really hard to say whether the "Jurassic Park" in this time and space is still the "Jurassic Park" in another time and space, but the dead camel is bigger than the horse, so what about this movie? Not bad, ideas and ideas are there! As long as the dinosaurs are done well, you can basically kill the world!

In 2002, in this time and space, "Titanic" could achieve almost perfect 2D special effects three or four years ago. Now three years have passed, and the big studio Paramount has shot, Li Qian has reason to believe that this big production, which is said to have invested 70 million US dollars, will at least not be stupid enough not to pay attention to special effects - that is a dinosaur! That's the biggest selling point!

And ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is just because it came after a series of Hollywood blockbusters headed by "Titanic" have set off a movie viewing craze in China, so its weight is especially terrible!

In another time and space, before "Jurassic Park", European films could still survive. Hong Kong and Taiwan films, as well as Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, which were radiated by Hong Kong and Taiwan films, have not yet completely fallen, but "Jurassic Park" As soon as it came, the concept of "Hollywood blockbuster" suddenly became popular in the hearts of the people, and even once gave people the feeling that as long as it was a blockbuster from Hollywood, it must be good!

Once this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the so-called "Hollywood Cult" is born. As a result, its influence on markets around the world is terrifying!

In this time and space, Hollywood movies basically followed the path of the time and space that Li Qian once experienced. In the last decade of the 20th century, they launched waves of violent attacks on markets around the world. In 1993, "Independence" "Day" is a resounding horn, but its box office in China is not too strong. Until "Titanic" appeared, it can be said that the concept of this Hollywood blockbuster has begun to gradually penetrate into the hearts of the people— - In a market that has already been flattened, already has a good impression of Hollywood blockbusters, and no longer needs to be developed, how much energy will a film like "Jurassic Park" exert?

Think about it, it's really hard to look down on it!

Think again, sandwiched between so many outstanding film industry works and brain hole works, what will the prospects of domestic blockbusters be?

It's really hard to be optimistic.
