Chapter 439 Knocking on the Real Door of Huaxia Market

Every year during the golden period of movies, it is unavoidable that some companies are happy and some are sad.

There is never a shortage of flocking works in the summer file. The young people’s market determines the overall box office trend to a certain extent. Every year, a series of movies will be released in the summer file to seize market share.

Hollywood advocates commercial blockbusters, and a successful series of films is the blockbuster of blockbusters.

"Twilight Saga New Moon" died miserably. Objectively speaking, the whole plot and the performance of the actors are not as bad as imagined. It is because the expectations of the audience have not been met, and the feeling of beauty, romance and magic is gone. , It's more like a bitter drama, going around with a little green love, very boring.

Zhou Le's role was greatly compressed, and those who had watched the movie complained, while those who hadn't watched the movie lost interest when they saw the movie reviews on the Internet.The reason for this loss of interest is not that they don't support this film because Zhou Le has less roles, it is a conventional logic. The male protagonist who attracted many fans in the first part was greatly reduced in the second part. It's a ridiculous thing, a movie can make fun of it, then one can imagine how childish the production of the movie is, and such a movie is not worth buying a ticket to watch.

A failure can't cause any waves in the summer vacation. If it is lonely, it will naturally rise with the trend, and some will sweep the world.

In the "Speed" series of movies, Paul's death made many people feel that the film could not be made anymore, but when "Speed ​​7" ended with the best box office in the entire series, it was another supporting role that could not lose Johnson's role. ——When Xiao played by Zhou Le appeared, Universal saw new hope. If "Speed ​​​​8" is successful, it will immediately invest in the production of spin-off dramas, a large-scale production with a lot of investment, and the spin-off works that are still in the script creation stage, just waiting for "Speed ​​​​8" [-]" after the release, after reaching the standard, a large amount of funds will be invested to start it, and the role of supporting roles will be increased with spin-off dramas, so that everyone will gradually get used to the Speed ​​​​series movies without Paul.

"Speed ​​8" was released globally. Because of Zhou Le's participation in China, it was originally planned to release it simultaneously, and Universal was willing to pay more for this to seize the Chinese market.

Later, because the summer wars of several films in the domestic market were in full swing, they had to make way for their own films. "Fast 8" will finally be released in China one week later. This time is tentative, and everyone understands that this tentative Look at the results of "Fast 8" in the international market to decide.

Too good or bad grades will change the tentative final result.

Will the grades be bad?
When the seventh part opened the market with feelings, the eighth part made the special effects to the extreme, the madness to the extreme, and the characteristics of the characters to the extreme.

On the first day of the screening, all movie theaters in the United States that played this film were full, except for extremely remote areas.In the trailer, although the audience didn't see too many surprising story settings and special effects settings, the actors' clear distinctions surprised everyone.

Vin Diesel took the path of a melancholy patriarch, enduring humiliation for the sake of the family and the team.

Johnson still takes the brutal and fierce route, and he will follow the correct route of the United States to the end.

The two respectively represent two types of American spirits, which are slightly heavy, and being too serious means that there is no room for the public.

Xiao, played by Zhou Le, gave everyone the last image. There are still not many scenes, but the relative concentration is enough to give him space and time to show his wonderful acting skills and gorgeous action scenes.

After watching the movie, everyone commented with a little aesthetic fatigue. The scene of rescue is getting bigger and bigger, but the role played by the car is decreasing. This is unacceptable to everyone. It is obviously a big proposition for such a group of people to save the earth. As the producer, Universal has nothing to do about this. The story advances one by one, from street racing to urban battles. The proposition is gradually expanded, and the taste of the audience is also gradually cultivated. After ten seconds of running wildly, the car All that can be shown is shown, and the audience will not accept the same. The final result can only be that the proposition continues to expand, save the country, save the destiny, and save the world...

On the first day of its release, the box office in North America was 6300 million, which is slightly worse than "Speed ​​7".

Fortunately, the data in the overseas market is very good, especially in the Asian region. It is foreseeable that there will be a crazy increase in the box office after the release in China. As long as the decline is not too large, everything is not a problem. To get everyone used to the new Iron Triangle, with Johnson and Zhou Le, can't replace Paul?

In the past, the team was one, and everyone obeyed the orders of one person.

The current team is a temporary combination, and it will be a combination of three styles and positions. The relationships that can be presented in the future will also be diverse. Unlike before, the two male protagonists are an unswerving family, and their positions will always be the same.

Overseas markets allow Universal to see more possibilities and look forward to feedback from China.

The North American market is quite satisfactory, and it has entered the viewing stage of aesthetic fatigue. According to experience, if it is purely for the North American market, if it still continues the current style, there are at most two enough room for profit, and even the latter one can only be an ending. There will be fewer and fewer viewers who are willing to pay for similar movies.

1.2 million in the first weekend. According to Hollywood’s usual box office trend, the box office in the first weekend is more than double, which is almost the box office data of the entire North America. 7 million will be a big mark.

The pre-judgment data of the North American market has made Global pay more attention to Asia, which is a far more attractive box office than Europe, and in the whole of Asia, China is the strongest presence, it is With an incredible speed of rise, it is moving towards the world's top industrial chain.

"Start the speed series special action plan, 2000 million salary plus box office share, give it to him, we need his Asian market, Huaxia market!"

The Universal Project was launched. As the main body of the film producer and distributor of the mature brand series, the opinions of the partners are unified. They have a stronger confidence to complete the unfinished mutual competition between "Joker" and "Iron Man".

Stop arguing, trivial things are still very complicated, isn't it just money?Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. If Zhou Le doesn't like the box office share, it doesn't matter, the salary can still be negotiated.

The statement made by Universal directly shut up those who questioned Zhou Le's entry into the 2000 million club. He has really stood at that height. No matter how you question it, there are so many projects willing to offer him such an offer. The remuneration price already speaks volumes.

"Iron Man" looked for him, "Twilight" looked for him, there is nothing wrong with it, just like the spin-offs of the Speed ​​​​series, they are all commercial films, commercial films can be paid more, and DC's "Joker" should not follow the heat Can he carry the banner of a work that is purely based on acting skills?It is true that he had a classic image of a clown, which was a supporting role, and it relied on the addition of Batman. DC, you have to release a superhero movie in which the clown and Batman oppose each other. Now there is no superhero script, and you still need to find An actor that we all feel is more suitable for commercial films, you will die miserably.

........................

When Zhou Le saw the news, he was not angry, but felt that "The Shawshank Redemption" in his mind should be on the agenda.

"Oh, my God, my boss, you know, your schedule is so busy now, if you want to go to Hollywood to shoot a movie, I think you should at least focus yourself more and set aside more time. What do you think?" Dong Fengyu's opinion is actually very clear, she does not deny Zhou Le's talent, but it is really not suitable to start another project now.

"Also, I know that you need a large prison scene. I have arranged for someone to find it. There is only one that is suitable and the state has a good tax rebate policy. Next year, the transfer of prisoners will be completed, so that we can have A complete prison is used for filming. Before that, I think you need greater popularity to ensure that we can have more favorable conditions in terms of use." Dong Fengyu then elaborated an objective fact, since your new drama More than [-]% of the scenes are planned to be shot in the prison. It is very tiring to build the scene and intersperse the shooting. Now there is a complete prison waiting for you. You just need to wait for a while, and we can shoot in real scene. Don’t you feel tempted?

"In this case, my sister, you can talk to DC. The salary can be reduced. I want a share of the box office, and I also want a share of all the peripherals of the character of the clown. It doesn't matter if the ratio is small, and it doesn't matter if you suffer a little cash. I like Hollywood. The way of income, they are confident that they will never give up a little share and peripherals. Now they are not confident, but I am confident that I can play this role well. Since I want to gamble, I will make a big one. I am nothing more than earning less salary. That's all, if it succeeds, I will spend all the money in the future, and the small income generated by these films in the future will be enough for my retirement. If the company needs cash, we only need the salary for the spin-off series of Speed, and we need some more cash. You can give up the box office share. Anyway, they won't give a lot of percentage, so it's better to fight for a big one on "Joker", and my salary will be reduced, which will reduce DC's production costs by a large amount."

Zhou Le saw the script of "Joker", and he also saw a little bit of the seemingly small body in it to adapt to his own changes, the sincerity and the charm of the script, coupled with the voices from the outside world questioning his acting skills, he felt that I need to let them take a look.
