Entertainment: Defamation, I definitely don’t have any hidden rules

America, Warner Bros.

Two executives were sitting together and chatting.

An. Si Luofei asked: “Sam, do you know the movie that Universal and Legendary invested in the East?”

Sam. Cage thought for a while and said: “It’s called Great Wall, right? They found Zhang as the director, and called Matt, and invested 150 million dollars?”

“That’s right.”

“An, why do you pay attention to these things?” Sam asked curiously.

“I think it’s very interesting. In order to open up the Eastern market, it is a good choice to cooperate with local directors, but they seem to have failed.”

Sam took out his mobile phone and checked the box office data of Great Wall in the United States.

“The box office on the first day was only 6 million dollars, which is indeed a failure. Now I have something to laugh at Universal and Legendary.”

“Yes.” An took out a document and handed it to Sam.

“Not only did it fail in North America, but it was also suppressed by a young director in the East.”

“An. Cao is a name I have never heard of, and it has the same name as you.” Sam took the document and read it carefully.

Suddenly he sat up straight and asked An with a puzzled look: “At the age of 20, two movies have a box office of more than 500 million dollars, and the second movie is still in theaters. What kind of genius director is this?”

Cao An’s resume is not only unique in China, but also rare in the world.

And the most important thing is that he is only 20 years old. 20-year-old Amei young people are still flying leaves, drinking, and picking up girls.

Then Sam thought of something and asked Ann, “Do you want to cooperate with this director to expand the Eastern market?”

“It seems that we have the same idea, don’t we?”

Ann smiled and explained his idea: “Universal and Legendary have good ideas. Cooperating with Eastern directors is indeed a good way to expand the Eastern market, but they are too arrogant.”

“A Western story, dressed in an Eastern skin, is neither fish nor fowl. This Director Cao is a versatile person. He can not only direct, but also write scripts. All his movies are scripts written by himself.”

Sam expressed his doubts: “But he is an Oriental after all. Can the scripts he write meet the North American or even Western European markets?”

“Try it and you will know. If the script he brings out is suitable, we can cooperate.”

“I think it’s good. I support you, Ann!”

Ann raised his coffee cup, “Thank you for your support. I think this mysterious Eastern director may give us a surprise.”

…

Zhang Yimou looked at the box office data from North America and fell into deep thought.

The North American box office failed. It failed miserably.

Six million on the first day, less than 20 million in the first three days of the weekend, and now the daily box office has dropped to one or two million.

Professional institutions predict that the final box office in North America will be 40 million dollars.

This data is not easy to bring out, the total box office is not as good as in China.

And the score of “The Great Wall” in America is not good.

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 36%, and the IMDb score is 5.8. It has not received good results in either mass entertainment or professional media.

The previous boast of a grand overseas expansion and counterattack on Hollywood has now ended up like this.

Then he looked at the data from other places, and his face looked better.

With the support of Hollywood, “The Great Wall” was not only released in China and North America, but also successfully hit the big screen in other places.

Other places are not bad, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places have won the daily box office champion.

But the box office in these places is really too small, and the box office in the top regions is only about one million.

In the end, he had no choice but to set a tone and focus on promoting the ranking results of “The Great Wall” in many countries.

｛The film “The Great Wall” has achieved great success overseas, topping the box office in many regions, and may create a new peak for Chinese films to go overseas. ｝

｛”The Great Wall” swept the box office charts of many countries overseas, and was released in 68 countries to start its global journey. ｝

In this report, the top data of many countries are listed.

Malaysia topped the box office, accounting for 42% of the market share.

Singapore topped the box office, accounting for 41% of the market share.

Siam topped the box office, accounting for 65% of the market share, which is more than three times the box office of the runner-up film.

It is the first time for Chinese films to top the box office champions in many places on the first day of release.

I hope that relevant practitioners in our country will continue to produce high-quality, international films and spread our excellent culture.

Film practitioners should not only focus on their own country, but also expand their international vision.

It’s no wonder that the combination of “The Great Wall” has had a good publicity effect on its domestic market.

It stabilized the box office’s decline, and the daily box office has remained at around 30 million.

And alsoA wave of growth came on Saturday, and the daily box office reached 80 million.

Although the daily box office champion was still firmly occupied by “The Invisible Guardian” with 147 million, the public opinion was much better.

More and more people spoke out online, saying: Although the quality of “The Great Wall” is not good enough, it is an international film and has taken the first step for domestic films to go international.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Cao An was criticized, saying that his film was only popular in China and no one knew about it internationally.

Fans said that Cao An’s “Your Name” was a hit in Xiaori.

These people said that “Your Name” was not internationalized at all when it was released in only one country, and it would be considered international only if it was released in many countries around the world.

In fact, Fang Haoli has been promoting the relevant matters of “Your Name” landing in other countries.

But Fanxing Film and Television is only a company that has been established for about a year and has no resources and capabilities for overseas publicity.

So this step is very slow.

The change in online public opinion has given “The Great Wall” some market confidence, and the final box office forecast given by major institutions has also increased from 1.1 billion to 1.5 billion.

As for the predicted box office of “The Invisible Guardian”, 2 billion is not comparable to “The Great Wall”.

But just when the official “The Great Wall” celebrated the box office breaking through 1 billion, a piece of news dealt a great blow to the originally improving atmosphere.

First, paparazzi photographed people from Hollywood Warner entering Fanxing Films.

This news caused speculation from all sides.

Is Cao An also going to go international and enter Hollywood?

Without letting everyone wait too long, two days later, Fanxing Films and Warner jointly issued a joint announcement.

{Dear media friends, partners and fans:

We are very honored to announce that Fanxing Film Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Fanxing Film”) and Warner Film Production Group (hereinafter referred to as “Warner Film”) have officially reached a cooperation agreement.

Will jointly invest in the filming of a new movie – “I Am Legend”.

This cooperation will be directed and written by Cao An of Fanxing Films, and Warner Films will be responsible for production and distribution.

Both parties will strive to present an excellent movie to the vast number of fans around the world and promote exchanges and cooperation between the Eastern and Western film industries. ｝

As soon as this news came out, it immediately set off a sensation on the domestic Internet and the entertainment industry.

Originally, the Internet was still mocking Cao An as a director who only caters to domestic audiences and has no international vision.

Now no one dares to say anything.

Because from the information shown in this announcement, Cao An has more control over the cooperation with Hollywood than Zhang Yimou.

After all, he is the screenwriter and director, and the plot will definitely not be as abstract as “The Great Wall”.

The entertainment industry is eyeing the opportunity to participate in this movie. They believe that Cao An definitely has a quota for selection.

(Thanks to everyone’s support, I will add more chapters today, and there will be two more chapters later)
