Chapter 516: Unify the World (7k)
Shi Xiaolong just sighed, unfortunately he was not present.
"I'm just asking you to come here. You'll have more fun in the next half month and do a few more sets of punches in front of foreigners."
"This is the planned publicity content, so it can be the same."
Sissi and Mei Mei will return to China together, and will then take Keanu, Lawrence, Cillian Murphy and others to promote in other Asian countries and regions.
Scarlett is with Shi Xiaolong and Watanabe Qian.
The people on both sides are stars with great influence in their respective regions, and they are responsible for ensuring basic publicity effects.
Other actors can increase their influence in other regions.
Like Xiaolong, in the country and other parts of Asia, the popularity is not small.
Opening the European and American markets is more useful to him.
The same goes for everyone else, and this was planned from the beginning.
"Hey lonng, long time no see."
Leonardo finished his makeup and came out just to see Shi Xiaolong, and greeted him a little surprise.
"Leo, yes, I haven't seen you for a while."
The two hug each other like good friends.
At the beginning, Leonardo naturally looked at Chen Linfeng's face, and intended to make it with Shi Xiaolong.
But then, the two people really had a heart-to-heart relationship.
During the period of filming in China, the main Shi Xiaolong was able to run everywhere with Leo, including Kanu, and all three played well.
In this regard, it was closer to Chen Linfeng.
However, after their recent publicity experience, Chen Linfeng and the others began to become friends.
"Leo, I saw your emoticon on the Internet, haha."
"Oh, I hope you can don't say this." Leonardo looked back.
Although it was very depressed, he felt pretty good in his heart.
His agent once told him that many young people now have a much better impression of him because of the Times Square incident.
Previously, Leonardo was actually not very popular among the new generation of young people.
After all, a generation of people like a star idol. "Jack" is already an old guy for the young people today.
……
With Chen Linfeng and Leonardo returning to the crew, other creative staff continue their promotional tour.
The box office results of "Dreaming Space" are gradually increasing.
In the second week, "Dreaming Space" closed at 182 million, and the total box office came to about 390 million.
Ranking second this week is "Ice Age 4", released on the 3rd, with a box office of 46 million;
The third one is "Teddy Bear" with $22 million.
Then there's "Brave," which is also a Disney film and was released in June. It still has a box office of just over 10 million.
Summer time, animated movies are indeed at the right time.
Although "Teddy Bear" is not an cartoon, this a little stain -stained movie, the box office is good at the same time, it is quite long -lasting.
But speaking of it, "Inception" is the most eye-catching.
Because its second-week box office far exceeded the previous expectations of various agencies.
In just 10 days, the North American box office revenue has reached close to 400 million.
Now, everyone is more sure that it hopes to become the second movie that exceeds $ 1 billion in this summer.
Various media outlets rushed to report on it.
The happiest people are many colleagues in Hollywood.
Whether it is Brookheimer, or Josielvy, or Catherine Kennedy;
Then there are Spielberg, James Cameron and others.
These major producers and directors in the industry, in an interview, mentioned that Chen did not hesitate to praise him.
Praise him for his continued exploration and efforts in original films.
Yes, original movie.
Today, Hollywood has clearly felt the general trend of comic book movies and IP movies.
The original movie is becoming more and more difficult. Many projects have faced many difficulties from the beginning of the project.
If it was not a big director, it would likely be possible to advance at all.
And this will obviously damage the original ability of the entire industry.
I went to IP movies, who would think about new stories.
But there is no way, the situation is so, this is not an individual or some people can recover.
And Chen Linfeng has not only been making original films since his debut.
"Dreaming Space" can also achieve such results against the trend.
How could it not be exciting?
One thing here is that in the eyes of many filmmakers, "Inception" is an original film.
Although there are original novels, that short story is not famous at all, especially the novel was written by Chen himself. It is original.
This is completely different from those guys who adapt famous IPs and rely on fans to make a living.
I don’t know if this is an American double standard.
But speaking, Hollywood has a long history of adapted novels, but these novels are often not the concept of IP.
Before the adaptation of many novels, it is either not famous or adapted, and at the same time, you will find a way to expand the audience.
Instead of raising fans like "Twilight".
In the eyes of many filmmakers in Hollywood, "Twilight City" is responsible for the original sin and has opened a door to sin.
As for "Twilight City", it is produced by Chen Linfeng's company, and the new famous IP like "Infinite World" is also from his hands.
Hmm ...
Since "Inception" was released, many filmmakers in the industry have continued to pay attention to it.
When it became a box office hit, many producers and directors began to tell each other about it.
"Have you seen that original movies are still very successful and can still enter the $1 billion club? Everyone should embrace originality."
Of course, saying so, you let these filmmakers come by and have well -known IPs, they must go to the whole IP.
There's no other way, I just have to have a good meal.
However, in the face of true originals, they will still shout and help the scene.
This is why they praised Chen Linfeng collectively.
It's outrageous, the beautiful country Hollywood, now it is going to rescue the industry by a Chinese movie.
I feel that Emi Merrike is about to enter the magic era in advance.
How can "Dreaming Space" have today's achievements, including the media, and peers, are analyzing.
The Times Square incident is indeed a bit useful. Of course, it is more useful, or the topic marketing of movie content.
That damn spinning top has almost become the hottest topic in the past week. If it weren’t for the incident in Times Square, there wouldn’t even be one.
Various analysis film reviews and discussions of netizens.
In the end, with the continuous exploration of the fans and even five brushes, even five brushes and six brushes, the various puzzles in the movie are basically solved.
And the more this is the case, the more many movie fans want to put this movie on the altar.
It's just perfect.
The logical chain of almost strict seams, exquisite foreshadowing and plot design before and after, few people can pick out the problem.
The rare stinging comments often found that they made mistakes, or they did not see them well.
Chen Linfeng has experienced the last life. Netizens all over the world picked up, and then the perfect script was a bit too terrifying.
Many viewers even began to wonder if there was something wrong with Chen's mind.
"How did he come up with such a complex and orderly story by himself? It's like a chain with stuck gears, without any jamming."
"I think he must have spent a long time perfecting this story. I have read the novel version back then, and there are still some problems or unclear descriptions. However, when it comes to the movie version, I can only say that this is a perfect story. works.”
"The movie about dreams can end here, because there is no better work than this."
The fans blowing too much, even angered fans of other classic works.
What is it, only your "Dreaming Space" is awesome, nothing else is worth mentioning, right?
Then, I was overwhelmed by the huge fan base of "Inception".
After all, the weapon of criticism is not as good as the criticism of the weapon.
Nowadays, there are too many fans of "Inception".
This is even mixed with personal fans of Chen Linfeng, Leonardo, Liu Qianqian, Scarlett and others.
The total number of people was simply terrifying.
Later on, "Inception" has almost become something like an "IQ tester".
Want to prove that you are a smart person? Well, look at "Dreaming Space".
Want to enjoy the thrill of high IQ? OK, let’s watch “Inception.”
Want to experience the atmosphere of mystery, suspense and thriller? Okay, let’s watch “Inception”!
In China, there are similar atmospheres, but in the end, it is not as strong as foreign atmosphere.
Many older generations in China appreciate works with ideological connotations.
Think about what works in the 1980s.
Therefore, the influence of "Dreaming Space" is slightly less excessive.
But among the young people, it is another situation.
As a Chinese, if you dare not to brag about "Inception", then you can be expelled from your nationality.
The Internet stand on the Internet, and even caused a war.
It was only after the Times Square incident spread back to China that the east wind prevailed over the west wind.
"Dream Stealing Blowing" dominates the world, and everyone is a dream stealing blower.
However, online public opinion belongs to online public opinion, and the offline box office does not fluctuate much.
There is no way, pirated copies have already been released.
Even though "Inception" is still mainly 3D, pirates can always come up with a 2D version of the video.
Fortunately, most viewers still want to watch the great effects of 3D, especially when "Dreaming Space" is known for its special effects picture, 3D is far more popular than 2D.
And this is why "Dreaming Space" can now stand up to the box office.
After all, 3D movie tickets are more expensive.
Of course, it is also because of this that it is almost impossible to reach higher.
The limit is right here.
After all, "Inception" failed to arouse the movie-watching craze among the people like "Your Name".
In the second week in China, the movie box office reported 520 million yuan, with a total box office of 860 million yuan.
On the highest Saturday, the box office almost exceeded 100 million.
You know, this is the box office data in the second week.
In the summer stall, it is a unique dust. From this point of view, Chen Linfeng wants to inherit the affection of Hua Ying.
As far as he knows, the previous life was also since 2012. In the past few years, almost all the summer stalls of Hua Guo have excluded the Hollywood blockbuster.
A de facto “domestic protection month” was formed.
However, when it comes to "Inception", in order to release it simultaneously around the world, the first half of July was given to Hollywood blockbusters, and then the protection month was pushed back by half a month.
This is equivalent to leaving a schedule for "Dreaming Space" alone, and the real treatment is full.
In fact, it is not impossible for domestic movies to be produced during the summer season. "Painted Skin 2" was released in June and eventually took in a box office of 700 million. From the data point of view, it is really not bad.
And the behind the scenes of this movie is even better than the movie itself.
The annual drama between Zhou Xun and Zhao Yanzi lasted from the end of last year to the summer vacation, and it never stopped.
In addition, movies such as "The Famous Four" and "The Wind Listener" are also pretty good.
Among them, "The Four Great Capture" was not starred in Liu Qianqian and replaced it with a male actor.
It seems that the ruthless gender reversal of the previous life is the change made by the actors.
In addition to these films, there are more than 30 domestic films released throughout the summer, all packed into one time.
It has to be said that Hollywood blockbusters are a strong stimulus to domestic filmmakers.
This is no wonder that they are at this time, at this time, they really like to watch special effects blockbusters, especially with the new 3D effect, which will not be tired of what they look at.
When Zheng Zhihao talked with Chen Linfeng on the phone, he always looked a little worried.
Worried that domestic movies can't keep the site, this domestic market will become the world of Hollywood blockbusters.
In fact, this is what the entire industry is worried about right now.
2012 is indeed an extraordinary year.
However, Chen Linfeng is not worried about this problem at all.
"You relax your heart, domestic audiences have not seen these large types for a while.
Especially when the quality of domestic films improves, this process will be accelerated.
There are movie works that have their own country that are rooted in local thinking, and who will go to see foreign works deliberately.
Not to mention anything else, these young directors brought by Chen Linfeng always have to change the situation. Moreover, Hollywood is hard for a few years, and LGBT will teach them to be human.
Chen Linfeng's almost overflowing self -confidence is infected with many people around him.
Because of this, the mentality of Kirin's internal employee is the most stable compared to the entire environment.
Speak back to "Dream Space" itself.
The country is now becoming more and more in line with international standards, and the box office of commercial blockbusters has begun to be more and more concentrated in the first two weeks.
The second week of "Dream of Dreams" got 520 million, it was really dazzling, but this is also the limit. After that, the curve must continue to go down.
The box office forecast given by Maoyan will eventually be around 1.5 billion.
According to the company's theoretical model, this is basically under the current normal, the box office limit of the domestic film market is.
The Chinese film market has been moving upwards, and the box office limits have been changing in recent years.
At this time, the filmmakers, although facing the invasion of Hollywood blockbusters, are actually in the best times.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The audience still has confidence and expectations for the movie.
Unlike later generations, it was already a pool of dead water. The entire market continued to fall. The filmmakers needed to continue to call the audience to save the Chinese movie.
At that time, it was already a bit hard to come back.
……
In the second half of July, Chen Linfeng was immersed in filming on the set. At this time, "Joker" began to go to other places for filming.
The key areas are New York.
After all, Gotham City is to some extent, which is the name of New York.
Liu Qianqian and Scarlett led a team to fly around the world.
Yanjing, Shenhai, Guangshi, Shenzhen, London, Paris, Berlin, and Milan are all places they pass through.
Everywhere he went, he was welcomed.
In particular, Liu Qianqian's party, wherever he went, had thousands of fans greeted.
She has been used to it for a long time, having encountered it during the "Star You" and "Please Reply" periods.
It's more common later.
Other people in the team were a little shocked.
Is cc so popular?
Indeed, many fans came to Liu Qianqian.
She is now treated like an Asian diva and a world-class star throughout Eastern Asia.
Since "Sherlock" officially came to Europe and the United States in 2009, it has gone through "The Rescue", "Infinite World", "Your Name" and "Inception".
Now, she has finally begun to undergo a qualitative change of her own.
Bob Guo Airport.
As soon as the group came out of the airport, they saw a group of people holding up signs to greet them. There was no name written on the sign, but only the words "Qilin welcomes the headquarters for inspection".
The crew of "Dreaming Space" comes, of course, it should not be too big, let alone notify the media or fans in advance.
These are lessons from the past.
"Xiao Fan, you are here too."
Sister Mei took a few steps and talked to the leader.
Then she introduced it to several of the main creators of "Inception."
"He Weihua, the person in charge of the Bangguo branch established by Qilin, is in charge of film distribution in the Bangguo region. He is also responsible for the organization of our subsequent promotional activities."
Several people greeted him.
He Weihua was quite reserved when facing several other actors, but when facing Liu Qianqian, his smile immediately brightened.
"Good boss."
At this time, several subordinates behind him also bowed slightly together, "Good boss."
Liu Qianqian puffed up her face slightly, but finally said nothing and just nodded in greeting.
"Hello."
At the same time, she had some doubts. "It can't be Xiaofeng who is behind this."
Everyone went to the hotel arranged in advance.
Others went to rest directly because of the boat and car.
Sister Mei took Liu Qianqian with her to the branch's headquarters not far away to listen to the report and learn about the follow-up itinerary.
Global distribution of "Dreaming Space".
In Europe and the United States, it is naturally to be handed over to Disney.
However, in Asia, especially Eastern Asia, Kirin’s current distribution channels have already been established and completed.
Therefore, when the filming of the movie started, it was stipulated in the contract that the later distribution work in East Asia and Southeast Asia would be handed over to Kirin.
As long as they don't interfere with the distribution rights in North America, the Big Six in Hollywood are relatively tolerant of overseas distribution.
After all, when they distribute their own films, they sometimes hand over their films to external agents for distribution.
This is also a familiar way, and it has long been used to it.
Thanks to the previous best-selling works, there is a lot of interest in Chen Linfeng's new works in both East and Southeast Asia.
Kirin's process of distribution channels is relatively smooth.
Today, Kirin's distribution system can be full by relying on domestic and foreign works, and even money to develop itself.
It's considered to be on track.
"Mr. Sun, in fact, this time is not very good. There are also several movies such as "Treasure League" and "Horror Story" released at the same time in Bangguo."
"Fortunately, General Chen's reputation is loud enough. We have done some jobs, and now it is generally treated. It is released one week after a week."
Sister Mei nodded, not paying special attention to these movies.
It is normal to give way to your own movie, which is completely conventional.
If Chen Linfeng were around, he might have paid more attention to it, because several of these movies were released in succession.
Even if you think about it, you know it's not a good thing.
But as He Weihua said, Chen Linfeng was not a good stub after all. Now it is already prestigious, and few people can fight the courage to collide with the positive face.
Especially after the box office data of the beautiful country and Hua Guo spread, "The Dream Stolen Space" has made the stick market rectify.
The Hollywood works of Hua Guo are expected to obtain $ 1 billion in box office worldwide.
This is simply an earth-shattering achievement.
Regardless of neon or stick country, the media propaganda is cited in the aspects of "Asian Glory" and "the pride of the yellow race".
There is no sour language.
Even some of the past oppositions of the country are still silent.
Chen Linfeng's previous many works really hit them.
For the wider population, there is a mentality of being conquered by the strong.
Many media are also singing praise.
It is not enough to wreak havoc in East Asia. Now it is going to conquer the international market.
"Teacher Qilin, strong!"
Far away.
Under the introduction of He Weihua, Liu Qianqian also knew the situation of the branch company.
Qilin's distribution is similar to that in China. It started by cooperating with other companies.
Use the channels of others to gradually explore and develop your own channels.
Later on, even if I had the ability to leave others alone and go it alone, I didn’t have the idea and we still worked together.
This is especially true in foreign countries such as Bangguo and Neon.
On the side of Banguo, Kirin found the partner as Showbox, which is one of the three major distribution companies of Banguo.
The publisher of Bangguo, which had previously released "Monster of the Han River" and "Red Cliff", was also approached by this company.
When Kirin went to sea, they were the first to find.
"Mr. Sun, this is the follow-up activity arrangement. Please check and see if there are any problems."
"Hmm ... okay."
"And this, it's..."
Liu Qianqian watched one of them report and the other give their opinions. She tried her best to listen to their words and try to understand them.
After the report is over, return to the hotel.
The relationship between the two was close. Without Chen Linfeng, he lived in a room directly.
Liu Qianqian asked a little strangely, "Sister Mei, why do you bring me together today."
"Let you listen, how about, are you interested?"
"I'm not very interested," she shook her head. "A lot of things are vague and hard to understand."
Things like market trends and trends were okay, but when it came to data, it gave her a headache.
Sister Mei sighed, and it seemed not.
Liu Qianqian probably understood the other party's intention. It was probably to let her know more about things. In the future, she might even want to let her take over part of it.
"Is this what Xiaofeng means?"
"It's my idea, I have mentioned it with Xiaofeng, he has no intention of objection."
Sister Mei expressed her thoughts one by one.
In her opinion, couples are best to maintain personality and financial equality. They have their own career and efforts. It is the best state.
In this way, there will be no dependence.
Although Xiaofeng's expression seemed a little weird when he mentioned it to him, he was not opposed to this idea after all.
Sister Mei thinks she can give it a try.
After listening to this, Liu Qianqian shook her head, "As an actor, acting is my career."
What Sister Mei wanted to say was interrupted by her next words.
"I know you want to say that it is not good to help all the way to help. I know this.
But outside of my career, I have a family, I have eaten this hardship myself. I do n’t want my child to experience similar things in the future.
If both husband and wife are very busy, they can't see several times a year, and maybe when, the relationship may be faded. "
Liu Qianqian looked at her seriously, "You and your brother -in -law have their own pursuit, and it can not affect the feelings between each other. This is good, but I am different.
I feel that I am currently in a good state. I spend two or three months each year busy with my own work. The rest of the time we are together, we are not unfamiliar, but also have a sense of freshness, so that we can be together for a long time. ”
"It seems you are really thinking about it."
After listening, Sister Mei heard such a word for a long time.
Indeed, there is no need to point out their own lifestyles.
Xiaofeng once joked before that the husband she found was a perfect match for her, and that the two of them were going in both directions, a rare breed.
"Maybe... you're not joking?" Sister Mei thought to herself.
In the final analysis, Sister Mei didn't know much about her state at all.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that it was right for women to be independent and self-reliant.
But it is indeed rare to be self-improving to her level.
The next day, Liu Qianqian talked about it when he was talking to Chen Linfeng.
"No, Sister Mei really wants you to try your career?"
"Yes, I tried it yesterday."
"How about, how do you feel, or let me give you a place, ask Liu to go out of the horse?"
"I don't want it!"
Liu Qianqian also briefly talked about their subsequent conversation.
Chen Linfeng almost couldn't stop laughing on the phone.
"Ha ... haha, a typical female strong woman and a female salted fish really cannot communicate, and brain waves are different."
When he heard Sister Mei say that before, he felt it was unreliable.
People are different from people. Sister Mei really thinks so that women should work hard to do a career.
Others don't necessarily think so.
Putting on Sissi is another idea, she belongs to the kind of emphasis on feelings and family.
The previous life may be different, but this is true in this life.
To be honest, Chen Linfeng likes her like this.
"Why am I a female salted fish!"
Liu Qianqi was dissatisfied, and she said it was too difficult. She also worked very hard.
"Haha, the dreamer who dreams of one movie a year and eventually becoming 'Audrey Hepburn' is just a salty fish, isn't it?"
"Hmph, no matter what you say, neither am I."
Liu Qianqian's ability to resist had already greatly increased, and she didn't care what he said.
