You don't understand the happiness of the director
Chapter 545 The dragon and the rat share the world, locking in the annual crown!
Media across the United States know that after the premiere of "The Force Awakens", King David will reach an unprecedented box office achievement of tens of billions of dollars, reaching the pinnacle in the history of commercial movies!
Moreover, it is the absolute pinnacle with a panoramic view of all the mountains and there are no opponents around!
Therefore, many media have written relevant articles in advance, and will send them out as soon as they reach 10 billion to seize the opportunity.
Wang Quan thought that some media jumped the gun or made an operational error.
However, Dorothy told him, "No, it's really already 10 billion!"
King Quan's Chinese-language films are usually released in batches and at selected times. It can take as short as two months or as long as half a year to cover the major markets.
For example, "Leng Feng" at the beginning of the year did not complete its first round of screenings in dozens of major box offices around the world until September. The current cumulative box office is 807 million U.S. dollars, which can be considered as dust.
However, King Power's Hollywood movies are backed by the dragon's global distribution system, and the investment in promotion and distribution is not comparable to that of Chinese-language films, so they can usually be covered within a month, but occasionally the Mainland, Neon, India and other markets because of Local films are also very strong and need to be avoided and chosen for the most suitable schedule.
Just like "The Force Awakens", Italy, the market originally scheduled to be released last, is only three weeks late, and it can be spread all over the world in 20 days.
However, Italian Star Wars fans were very dissatisfied when they heard the news. Why can the next door neighbor see it on the same day? We have to wait three weeks. Are we looking down on our spending power?
So Italian Star Wars fans organized more than 5,000 people to petition the Dragon Head Up, and the final schedule was changed to the 17th. It was one of the earliest countries to release it, two days earlier than North America.
In fact, not only Italy, but also small European countries such as Denmark, Egypt, Belgium, and Finland released the film two days in advance.
There are more movies released one day in advance, and in Latin American markets they are basically released on the 18th.
In addition, among the countries that were released on the same day, when it was still evening in North America, audiences in countries and regions such as Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taiwan had already entered the cinema.
Although the market is not very big, a small amount adds up to a huge sum. Coupled with the pre-sale box office in North America, rough calculation shows that "The Force Awakens" has already received almost 100 million US dollars in global box office before it is officially released in North America!
King Power has officially achieved tens of billions of dollars!
"You got the head start." After hearing Dorothy's explanation, Wang Quan smiled, picked up Little K, and continued.
Then the media began to brag about the royal power and "The Force Awakens" with great fanfare. Spielberg was so worried that he wanted to disconnect from the Internet. If he has tens of billions, why do you keep making excuses with me?
The advantage of having a head start is that the North American market is even more hungry. Everyone can see that this movie is a hit. No matter how bad the reputation is, at least it will be full for the first few days.
However, judging from the word-of-mouth leaked from abroad, the word-of-mouth is still quite good. Most of the reviews on IMDB, Mailbox, Rotten Tomatoes and other film review websites are positive. The most popular ones are "full of feelings" and "King David will never let "Disappointing", just because it hasn't been released in North America yet, so it hasn't been released yet.
In fact, the United States also has online ticket purchasing software Fandango, but it is not as popular as in China. Stimulated by the media and film reviews, many die-hard Star Wars fans were worried about not having a seat that day, so they used online ticket purchasing software for the first time, and the pre-sale box office continued to rise.
~
Italy was the first country where "The Force Awakens" was released. When Monica Bellucci and her daughter Deva Cassel saw it, it was already the second day after its release, but it had not yet been released in North America.
It has been six years since the filming of "Inception", Monica Bellucci has been divorced for three years, and her daughter Deva is already ten years old.
Although she is only ten years old, she is 1.6 meters tall and already has the appearance of a girl. However, "The Force Awakens" is rated PG-13 in the United States, and in Italy it is not allowed for 10-year-old children to watch alone, so Daiwa can only Begging my mother to accompany me.
As for why I didn’t watch it on the first day, it was because I didn’t buy a ticket.
Qiuhua, who was wearing sunglasses, was helpless: "I haven't heard that you are a fan of Star Wars before, and you actually signed a petition like others."
This series was obviously popular in their time. Nowadays, young people like Marvel, but Deva prefers Hollywood cartoons, especially "Frozen". She also bought Elsa's blue skirt.
The reason given by Deva is: "I have become a fan of Star Wars since I learned that Uncle David was going to direct Star Wars."
Monica smiled bitterly and shook her head. Deva is a die-hard fan of King Power. Every Chinese-language movie he has made in recent years will go to the cinema to support it. Fortunately, he has many movie supporters, otherwise it would be difficult for Chinese-language films to be distributed on a large scale in Italy. not easy.
And Wang Quan would look at them every time he came to Italy, of course, mainly to look at himself.
The nearly two-and-a-half-hour film is very rich in content, including nostalgic reminiscences of the past six films, as well as innovations.
Monica knew that this series was not easy to shoot, and it would be difficult to satisfy most people. But now it seems that David has done a good job, and the on-site feedback has been excellent. People like herself who are not interested in commercial films can watch it with gusto.
As for Deva's opinion on this movie, it doesn't matter. She has always been careless about King Power movies.
After coming out of the cinema, Daiwa immediately bought a new lightsaber.
"Diva, don't you already have one?"
"Mommy, this way the two of us can duel!"
Monica smiled and said: "Then you stab me to death with a sword, and I tell you, I am your mother~"
The two beauties, one big and one small, laughed and went home together. Unexpectedly, there would be a bigger surprise waiting for Dai Wa when they returned home.
Monica received a large express delivery, taller than her, from the United States, and the sender was a toy company.
She didn't remember buying such a big toy. Her toy was only as big as a palm.
But Deva had already seen it and couldn't avoid opening it. Monica had no choice but to open the box and found that it turned out to be an Elsa figure!
Elsa's official height is 173.7cm, plus the base, she is over 1.8 meters tall. She is very handsome in her classic ice blue skirt.
When Deva saw Elsa's appearance, she screamed in surprise. She thought it was Monica who bought it for her, so she kissed her mother all over.
Then Monica got a letter from it.
She shook it and said, "Don't thank me, thank you Uncle David. He gave this to you."
When Monica was chatting with Wang Quan before, she mentioned Deva's recent obsession with Elsa.
It was just a casual mention, but he didn't expect that he actually remembered it. This figure was the first large-scale figure produced in the "Frozen" derivative toys. Wang Quan directly sent a letter to the toy factory to make it and send it to Europe.
Soon Wang Quan received a thank you call from Dai Wa in Los Angeles. It was still early in the morning in the United States.
Wang Quan rubbed his eyes: "Dai Wa, thank you too!"
Now I can't sleep at all.
It's daytime in Asia now, and "The Force Awakens" is about to be released simultaneously in Seoul and Tokyo.
At this time, the most popular film in both countries is "Frozen." Even after nearly a month, the popularity is still very high. The release of "The Force Awakens" can be regarded as cannibalistic.
However, two mature film markets can certainly accommodate two blockbusters at the same time.
The popularity of neon in the Star Wars series is quite high. After all, Lucas, as an avid neon lover, implanted many neon elements in the film, which is full of homages to neon movies.
However, the popularity of the Star Wars series in Kimchi Country is relatively average. Like mainland China, in the 1970s and 1980s when Star Wars swept the world, the film industry in Kimchi Country was not yet developed, so there was no Star Wars complex.
But no matter neon or pickle, audiences in both countries have a King David complex.
King Power's Chinese-language films usually do well at the box office in both countries, and occasionally rank among the top ten of the year, comparable to second-tier Hollywood blockbusters.
As for King Power’s Hollywood movies, they are basically among the top five seeded contestants of the year.
Although Wang Quan is from China and there are many discords among the three countries, as the only Asian director who can control the world, he has established film companies in Japan and South Korea and discovered many excellent local films. Fans of the two countries have basically reached a consensus. Kingship is the consensus among the godfathers of Asian cinema.
The films they support for King Power are not supporting Chinese-language films, but supporting Asian films.
Therefore, movie theaters in Seoul still have good attendance even during the day.
The EXO idol boy group has left two Chinese members, which makes Zhang Yixing and Huang Zitao who are left a little embarrassed.
There are only two people left hugging each other for warmth, so they always go out as a couple for any activities.
Huang Zitao: "Brother, let's go watch a movie."
"What movie? The Force Awakens?"
"yes!"
"Okay, let's take off the makeup first."
Once you take off your makeup, you don't have to worry about being discovered and followed by fans when you go out.
So it’s not bad to wear heavy makeup sometimes.
Being in a foreign country, there are not many opportunities to watch Chinese-language movies, so every time King Quan's movie is released in Seoul, they will come to support it. After all, they are also the ones who have been encouraged by Director Wang Quan.
This time it was an English film, and they came with the mentality of supporting the royal power, but there are also many people who support the royal power in Kimchi Country.
Huang Zitao laughed and said: "I always thought that Star Wars was not popular in Kimchi Country."
Zhang Yixing: "After all, it's Star Wars directed by Wang Quan, so it's different."
After watching it, even though they didn't know much about the history of Star Wars, they still found it very enjoyable just as a science fiction action movie.
Zhang Yixing: "I heard that the action director is Zhen Zidan. I think it's better than the action in "Captain America 2"."
Huang Zitao: "Yeah, I just don't understand a lot of things. It would be great if Brother Fan was here, he would definitely understand them all."
Huang Zitao thought about his dear Brother Fan again. Both he and Brother Han were gone. When talking about this topic, Huang Zitao couldn't help but probe: "Brother, have you ever thought about returning to China for development?"
Zhang Yixing nodded: "I have thought about it. China is developing very well now. I will actively apply to the company to return to China to start my career, but in the end I still have to listen to the company's arrangements."
Hearing his words, Huang Zitao couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. The company was not so easy to talk to. They were afraid that he would fly far away, so the rope was tightened even tighter, so tight that he could hardly breathe!
Just now, in the screening room, Huang Zitao saw a staff member of the company, who was obviously here to follow them!
Huang Zitao has a lot of contact with his two brothers in China. His heart has completely turned to returning to China. The earlier he returns, the more he can enjoy the dividends of the explosion of the domestic entertainment industry. The two brothers have already received great film resources. But in Kimchi Country, they are still several levels away from movie stars, and there is no way they can cross over!
But he didn't dare to tell Zhang Yixing that he, Brother Xing, seemed to be an old-fashioned man who had to follow the rules in everything.
I have heard the story of the Five Tiger Generals of TVB. If he reports his ideas to the company, he will be passive and must be on guard against others!
The neon market is bigger, and The Force Awakens is even more popular.
The 18-year-old beautiful girl Miyoshi Ayaka, who is 171cm tall, is very eye-catching when walking on the streets of Tokyo.
Not only because neon girls are generally short in height, she stands out from the crowd, but also because her status as a model and actress gives her a sense of fashion and mature temperament.
She debuted at the age of 11 and has been an actress and model. She has been in the entertainment industry for many years, but she is still an unknown person.
Fortunately, the Tokyo branch of Dragon Head was casting for "Pacific Rim 2" a while ago. She was selected because of her height, face, and figure, and will play an important role.
The company signed her by the way and made her a key training target. She also made a movie before filming "Pacific Rim 2".
She originally thought that the company boss Umekawa Hideo had some plans for her, but it wasn't until she saw President Umekawa's girlfriend who was nearly fifty years old that she realized that the boss liked this kind of style.
It's a pity that I have to wait another thirty years to meet my boss's aesthetics.
Above President Umekawa, the company's bigger boss is actually King David. She knows this very well, but she has never seen a big boss who looks like a god.
After work today, she came to the cinema to pay homage to the big boss's new work.
Unexpectedly, she met the famous star Yui Aragaki just after leaving the house. It was not surprising that the two companies were in the same building and they had met many times.
After hearing that Ayaka Miyoshi was also going to see "The Force Awakens", Yui Aragaki asked her to go with her in her own car.
Moreover, Yui Aragaki was quite well prepared, and there was a lightsaber in the car.
Miyoshi Ayaka thought Aragaki Yui was a Star Wars fan, but after the movie started, when she saw Harrison Ford, she was surprised, "There is actually Indiana Jones in this movie!"
Sanji Ayaka: "..."
Rumor has it that Yui Aragaki is director Wang Quan's lover in Neon. Could it be that what she is watching is not the movie, but the man behind the movie?
Later, Miyoshi Ayaka also saw Aragaki Yui strongly recommending and praising the movie on Twitter, and also showed off her lightsaber.
Sanji Ayaka also likes it very much, but unfortunately she is not well-known, so if she promotes it, it will not have any publicity effect.
However, there are quite a lot of discussions about this movie on the Internet. Although there are many people who like it, there are also some controversies.
Some neon viewers believe that King David has weakened the neon elements in the Star Wars movies and instead added many Chinese elements, such as the action scenes in the movie, which are very good, and those "positive" characters at the beginning.
At the beginning of the movie, the heroine needs to record time on the wall. The original version uses "丨", and one day is a "丨", covering the whole wall.
Wang Quan felt that this thing was not easy to count, so he simply changed it to the word "zheng". Just multiply it by 5 as many as there were "zheng" characters. It was easy to plan and calculate.
An hour after Neon Pickle, The Force Awakens opened in Hong Kong and Wanwan.
Wen Yongshan and Zhou Mingru went to the cinema to watch a movie together as scheduled. When they saw the word "正" written all over the wall, the audience couldn't help but laugh.
Because it is difficult to see Chinese elements in the Star Wars series, there was not even an Asian face in the previous six films.
When Wen Yongshan saw this scene, she had the same feeling as when she saw Li Lienjie's "Fist of Heroes" in the movie when she first watched "Juno". It was very cordial.
Wang Quan likes to add some Chinese elements to his Hollywood movies, but he is very restrained.
In addition to the word "positive", even if Neon Man has some interesting action scenes, it actually doesn't have a particularly Chinese style.
The action style that Wang Quan asked Zhen Zidan to design is still biased towards the sci-fi style. Anyway, the old version cannot be accepted by himself, and the new era audience may not be able to tolerate it, so I forgive me for not paying tribute to the old version in this section.
But the on-site feedback was very good.
The filming of "Star Wars Story" has been completed. Zhen Zidan returned to Hong Kong a few days ago. "The Force Awakens" is the largest film project he has ever participated in. He is very proud of it personally, so he brought his wife and sister-in-law with him on the first day of its release. His brothers from the Zhen family class and some friends booked the theater to watch the movie.
Everyone's feedback has been very good. Frankly speaking, it is better than the old version. The action scenes are very cool and the big scenes are very shocking.
Zhen Zixin said, of course, it is a big production with a budget of US$250 million, and the actors are all cheap except Harrison Ford.
In terms of pure production expenditure, "The Force Awakens" far exceeds "Inception" where big names gather, so the big scenes really capture the shock of the planets.
In fact, the "Star Wars" series is not too popular in Hong Kong. It was "Jurassic Park" that really opened up the Hong Kong film market, and Hollywood movies during the "Star Wars" era simply couldn't compete with local films in Hong Kong.
The best-performing film was "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace" in 1999, which barely made it into the top ten at the box office in Hong Kong.
After watching the movie in its entirety for the first time, Zhen Zidan feels that this time the "Star Wars" series of movies will definitely leave a lasting mark in Hong Kong.
The highest box office in Hong Kong this year was HK$98.1 million for "Transformers 4". It has twice won over 100 million box office in Hong Kong. Can it achieve greater success this time?
Liu Yifei thinks he can definitely do it!
After "Lucy" ended today, Liu Yifei took Scarlett Johansson to watch "The Force Awakens".
The two also bought two lightsaber toys at the cinema. The widowed sister said "too cheap". Liu Yifei took a look and said, oh, made in Yiwu.
The widowed sister has a Star Wars feeling, so she was excited to watch it. Liu Yifei didn't, and she was also very excited to watch it, especially the big interstellar scenes in the movie.
In her opinion, the old Star Wars movies are just space operas, without any sense of science fiction or high-end.
But King Quan's version captures the vastness of the universe, the insignificance of humankind, and the vastness of the interstellar empire. Several shots are so beautiful that they can be used as wallpapers.
She feels that Throne has broadened the boundaries of the Star Wars franchise!
While retaining the style of the old version, it also makes this movie more in line with modern tastes.
"Explode, must explode!"
After watching the movie and returning home, Liu Yifei immediately went to imdb and gave the movie a 10-point rating!
Then she saw that the movie's rating had reached 8.8!
The previous highest-rated Star Wars movie, "Star Wars Episode II: The Empire Strikes Back," only scored 8.7!
Liu Yifei then realized, oh, it has been officially released in the United States, and there are enough people to rate it, so it is normal to open the score.
Seeing this rating, Liu Yifei was sincerely pleased. Her brother had made another great movie!
~
"Oh, don't be too proud. It's not like you don't understand that this score will come down sooner or later." Wang Quan said to the fussy Gadot.
Those who went to see the movie on the first day of its release at home and abroad and actively rated it on rating websites were basically avid Star Wars fans.
King Quan invited "Han Solo" and "Princess Leia" back, and the painting style basically maintained the look of the old version, and they also went to great lengths to bury several memes that paid tribute to the original version.
Moreover, he made this film with sufficient labor and materials, spending the largest amount of money on filming since he entered the industry, and the energy he invested is second only to "Inception".
Although he has more innovations, emotional fans are already satisfied. Isn't it normal to give him a 10 out of 10?
After the previous wave of viewers have finished watching it, and more casual fans and passers-by enter the cinema, their evaluations will probably be more objective and harsh, and maybe it will drop to 8.8 points.
Wang Quan and Gadot kissed, and he was going out to work, not only him, but also Dorothy.
Little K also has other things to be busy with, so Gadot will take care of the children at home today.
She has passed her busy period. In order to avoid "The Force Awakens", the last part of "The Hobbit" "Battle of the Five Armies" originally planned to be released on December 19 was released two weeks earlier, with Gadot as the heroine. I've been really busy for a while, and now I'm much more relaxed.
Without "The Hobbit 3", there are almost no works in this schedule that can pose a threat to "The Force Awakens".
The only one that can be considered a blockbuster in the same period is Twentieth Century Fox's "Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb", but Wang Quan knows that each of this series is not as good as the last, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
In addition, Sony Columbia was frightened by hackers, and finally temporarily gave up the release of "The Interview" and replaced it with Jamie Foxx's musical "Annie."
In addition to these two new Hollywood films, there was only one Bollywood film during the same period, Aamir Khan's "P.K.", which is even less scary.
This Indian film is the key project of Three Stooges after its opening. In a few days, this film will be released in mainland China at the same time as "The Force Awakens".
Wang Quan and Dorothy are preparing to meet with several leading actors and then participate in several promotional activities.
The opening of "The Force Awakens" this time reached 4,350 theaters, which is not as good as the 4,460 halls of "The Twilight Saga", and "The Twilight Saga 5" has maintained the highest single-day box office record in North America of 109 million!
Both Wang Quan and Dorothy hope to break the record again.
In fact, the 4,350 hall is really not that small. It is already the largest in film history. It can basically cover the audience who want to see this movie in North America.
In San Francisco, Li Gengxi, a 14-year-old international student at San Domenico International School, found a movie theater with a poster of "The Force Awakens" near the school.
But when she saw many middle-aged men, including black men, walking into the cinema in groups, holding lightsabers and storm trooper helmets, she suddenly felt a little scared.
After all, she is far away from her hometown, and her parents have repeatedly taught her not to get together.
Just as she was hesitating and wandering, a Chinese girl who looked similar to her appeared behind her, carrying two lightsabers on her back.
"Hey, are you Chinese?" The girl took the initiative to greet her.
"Well, yes, are you too?" Li Gengxi was pleasantly surprised when he met a fellow countryman.
"International student?" the other party asked again.
"Yeah!"
"Oh, I was born and raised here, but I speak Chinese quite well, hahaha. Nice to meet you. My name is Xiang Hanzhi."
"Like a man?"
"Hanzhi, it's Hanzhi!" the little girl emphasized, waving her lightsaber.
Then she handed a lightsaber to Li Gengxi, "I'm here to see The Force Awakens. I see you didn't bring one, so I gave this to you. Let's watch it together."
"Ah, why~" Li Gengxi didn't dare to answer, because her parents told her before coming here that when a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, he will trick you without negotiation. You should be more careful when meeting a fellow countryman.
Xiang Hanzhi pouted, "Because I'm under 13 years old, I came here specially to this remote cinema. It should be less strict. Plus you, I can definitely get in."
With such a reason, Li Gengxi felt relieved, then showed proof that he was 14 years old, and brought Xiang Hanzhi in, who looked as tall as himself.
"So how old are you?"
"12 years old."
"Why didn't you come to see your parents?"
"They don't like going to the movies and they're busy."
Although it was the first show on the first day, it was the country where Star Wars originated. This show was almost full of people, all of whom were die-hard fans.
The 12-year-old Xiao Xiang seemed to have the same hobby at first glance, and muttered, "I should have brought my Darth Vader helmet." Unlike Li Gengxi, he just wanted to watch the King Quan movie to relieve his homesickness.
She only came to the United States in junior high school. When she was in China, she and her parents would watch King Power movies every year. Twilight was her introduction to theater movies.
After retracting his thoughts, the movie officially started. When the familiar melody sounded and the original letters slowly rose, the audience already burst into applause and cheers.
Li Gengxi has heard that "Star Wars" is equivalent to the domestic "Journey to the West", but Star Wars is protected by copyright, so not everyone can film it, so after nearly 10 years, I saw the sequel. It's normal for the audience to be excited when they see the familiar opening credits, and some even shed tears.
Less than ten minutes into the movie, when the heroine and the word "正" on the wall appeared, Li Gengxi also cried.
When she was first sent here, she spent most of her time counting numbers like this, and also drew the character "正", so when she saw this familiar Chinese character, she couldn't stop crying.
Xiang Hanzhi was watching with great interest when she suddenly noticed that Li Gengxi was crying beside her. She was greatly surprised. She originally thought that she was already a die-hard Star Wars fan, but she didn't expect that there was a hardcore fan next to her. How disrespectful!
Xiang Hanzhi is a very American girl. She couldn't do anything like handing out tissues, so she had to hand over a large bucket of popcorn.
Li Gengxi wiped his tears while eating. This popcorn is too salty! I can't get used to it!
When the old version of the charming character Han Solo appeared on the stage, Xiang Hanzhi cheered like other Star Wars fans, even if some of them had already seen the trailer.
Li Gengxi finished reading it in a daze. Her English is not that good, and the movie does not have subtitles. There are some parts that she did not understand, but overall it is very good to watch.
There are many stunning images, shocking scenes, and the fighting scenes are also very beautiful. Among the Throne Hollywood movies she has watched, it feels second only to "Inception".
Judging from the mood at the scene, Li Gengxi felt that these Star Wars fans were also very satisfied.
After walking out of the cinema, Li Gengxi asked Xiang Hanzhi how he felt about the movie.
"Well, there is inheritance and innovation, and the shooting is very high-level. This director has something, he should be a veteran in this industry."
"Ah, don't you know who the director is? Kingship, King David!"
"Is he Chinese? Has he taken any photos?" Xiang Hanzhi asked.
Although she likes watching movies, she is not chasing stars, let alone directors, and has never remembered the names of those directors. At most, she knows the relationship between Star Wars and Lucas. She is not sure about the name of the director of "Avatar". Mellon or Cameroon?
Li Gengxi felt that it was necessary to teach Xiang Han a lesson. How could you not know the director of Chinese Light?
It's not too early now. The other party gave him a lightsaber. Li Gengxi said: "I'll treat you to dinner at noon. Then I'll tell you what King David is!"
He waved his hand to Hanzhi, "There's no need to eat. My parents taught me that if a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, if you shoot him in the back, you can just say it here."
Li Gengxi was speechless for a while, and finally choked out, "The same world, the same parents."
Then Li Gengxi started with the introduction of the famous third work "Juno" of King Power, and then moved on to the "Twilight" series, "Slumdog Millionaire" which swept the Oscars, and the world-famous "Inception".
"Actually, I prefer Chinese-language films directed by Quan. "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "The Adventures of Li Xianji" are both masterpieces, especially "Li Xianji". I will definitely go on a trip to the mountain city in my life."
Xiang Hanzhi opened his mouth wide, "Ah, all these movies were shot by him. Apart from that damn thing, there are also Adventures, I've seen them all!"
Then she said in disbelief: "These awesome movies were made by the same person, Unbelievable!"
Although they didn't make a living, the two closed each other's Twitter and Facebook, and they will be considered friends from now on.
The two took to Facebook and Twitter, and as time went on, it became clear that a lot of people were talking about the movie.
Even if most of their Facebook friends are teenagers, who grew up watching Marvel, teenagers will also chase fashion. The publicity coverage of "The Force Awakens" is so wide that it is difficult for you not to know, and it is very difficult. It’s hard not to watch.
Although there are 2D, 3D, and IMAX giant screens, 2D tickets are not expensive, and it is worth watching because you can have a common topic with your classmates after going to school.
Most of the day has passed, and the IMDB score of "The Force Awakens" is still as high as 8.8 points, making it the highest-rated Star Wars movie.
The Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating has reached an extremely high 96%. The audience evaluation is slightly lower than the media, but it is still 94%!
"The Guardian", "USA Today", "New York Consumer Guide" and many other media gave it a perfect score of 100!
"The Hollywood Reporter" praised: "David Wang has injected fresh energy and life into this sacred series, reviving the original joy and pointing out new directions."
"The Daily Telegraph" believes: "David Wang awakens the Star Wars series from its slumber and reconnects with the new chapter with longing and longing for the past. This may be the most relaxing movie of the year."
"The Guardian" commented: "The film is absurd and dramatic, but also full of emotion. It is exciting and full of energy, and it is a great Christmas gift."
"USA Today" believes: "This classic science fiction blockbuster finally returned in a brilliant way. Although King David used many old faces, these people did not obscure the light of the newcomers. Saoirse Ronan's The rendition was a huge surprise.”
RogerEbert website reporter Zoler Seth said, "This movie is very exciting. Compared with "excellent", "The Force Awakens" should be called "epic". Watching those beloved old characters and new characters together It’s an absolute treat for Star Wars fans to be out there.”
The praise from the authoritative media and the hot discussion from ordinary audiences made Disney head Robert Iger a little panicked.
They had competed with Long Toutou for Lucasfilm. Although the competition failed, they believed that Lucasfilm's potential was far less than that of Marvel, which has many characters.
As long as Marvel is used well, Dragon Head will never be able to catch up with Disney, and it will always only have half of Disney’s market value at most.
They even optimistically believe that a decrepit "Star Wars" filmed by a pioneering young director like Wang Quan will be a bad game. 1+1 may be less than 2, which will eventually offend all Star Wars fans and lead to the restart of the project. Total failure.
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the reputation of "Star Wars 7" has not collapsed, and the box office is extremely high. It may really revitalize this old IP.
Wang Quan really hopes to bring about earth-shaking changes to "Star Wars". The universe is such a big stage, and there are too many stories that can be performed. They are too big. The predecessors were limited by the times and may have a small pattern. It is fate. As latecomers, of course they must be brave enough to pioneer.
However, the extremely high box office of the version of "The Force Awakens" shot by J.J. always warned him that without the huge Star Wars fans, the risk would be too high and it might directly overturn.
In another time and space, J.J.'s version of "The Force Awakens" was a safe bet. The story mode copied the first Star Wars movie "A New Hope" and swept the global film industry through tribute and emotion.
But the result of this is that the sentimental meal will come to an end after only one or two. There are not enough new things, and fewer and fewer people will pay for them. Therefore, the new version of the trilogy and the Gaiden Trilogy have gone through a very difficult period. The box office curve of failure.
What King Power has to do is to keep this series going. Even if these six films are finished, in ten or twenty years, a new generation of audiences can still look forward to seeing another reboot of Star Wars.
Therefore, while paying tribute and nostalgia, King Power also does not forget to innovate and expand the possibilities of the Star Wars universe.
He and Lucas thought about this together. In another time and space, Lucas was very dissatisfied with Disney's version of "The Force Awakens" and asked what was the point of repeating the same old path.
When it passed 12 o'clock, Robert Iger's assistant reported Friday's box office data to him.
This data is surprising, and the surprise is mainly reflected in two aspects.
Wang Quan came home very late after a busy day, and went back to Dorothy's house. Because she said she wanted to wait for the final box office data, Wang Quan agreed to accompany her.
After seeing the data, Dorothy was pleasantly surprised, "Night at the Museum and Annie are so inferior! They can't even beat Frozen!"
The first surprise is that the single-day box office of the two new films was 5.4 million and 5.2 million respectively, losing to the 7.3 million of "Frozen" which was released for one month!
"This stamina, tsk tsk, it feels like North America's 400 million people really have a chance!"
The second surprise is that "The Force Awakens" broke the first-day box office record of "The Twilight Saga" of 109 million even though the opening scale was not dominant!
"How much is it specifically?" Wang Quan asked.
Dorothy said word by word: "121 million!"
Wang Quan nodded, it could only be regarded as a slight break of the record, but it is not easy. After so many years, the record of "Twilight 5" has remained strong.
After all, the death of the Little Werewolf was too shocking at first, and the good marketing of Long Toutou raised the Little Werewolf to the level of James Dean, so it stimulated the audience to go to the cinema immediately to watch the final screen image of the Little Werewolf.
However, the stamina is insufficient. North America has stopped at 585 million, which is not as good as "Inception".
That's the limitation of fan movies, they don't have much staying power.
In theory, "Star Wars" is also a fan movie, and it seems that only fan movies can beat fan movies.
But no one can say how far this movie will go in the end, but the annual box office championship in North America is basically locked.
The temporary North American annual champion "The Hunger Games: Part 1" (375 million) is trembling.
The Hunger Games is the worst box office hit in the series. If I had known, King Power would have made a bet with Dorothy.
Although there is no Star Wars sentiment in China, news about the unprecedented release of "The Force Awakens" in North America still spread back to China and received great attention.
However, the most popular among these news items is the one about "The royal power promotes the word 'righteousness' to the whole world."
The report mainly introduced that Wang Quan implanted a Chinese cultural symbol in this film.
Writer Cheng: "I believe that after the release of "The Force Awakens", the whole world will know this Chinese character. This kind of intensive promotion is really rare, and it is difficult for many of our Confucius Institutes to achieve, and this is the film's Power is the energy of royal power!”
This news can be regarded as poking the Chinese people's G-spot. All of a sudden, the domestic propagandists who were struggling to open up the situation found a direction. From this day on, the number of views of the "Star Wars" series on the three major video websites increased. sharp increase.
Mr. La from China Film Group Corporation has been paying attention to all this, and after seeing the comments under relevant reports, he felt that this Lunar New Year festival could finally become lively!
There was not even a billion-rated movie in the Lunar New Year before~
