Perfect Superstar

On March 21, the two-day box office of "Decisive Battle on Vulcan" exceeded 200 million.

According to this trend, there is basically no problem for the total box office of this Hollywood blockbuster to exceed 1 billion, and it is normal to reach 1.2 or 300 million, but it is not easy to go higher, such as 1.5 billion.

After two days of release, the word-of-mouth of "Decisive Battle of Vulcan" on the Internet has shown a trend of two levels. People who like it think that the special effects of this movie are very good, the plot is exciting, and there is constant excitement from the beginning to the end. It is completely worth returning fare.

Viewers who disliked the evaluation of "The Battle of Vulcan" as a typical popcorn-style Hollywood blockbuster. Except for the special effects and battle scenes, the rest is not worth mentioning. The storyline is full of loopholes. The stimulation that people feel is strong enough.

And similar blockbusters, everyone has seen a lot, and there is not much freshness.

Not to mention those positive comments, just talking about these negative words actually reflects a problem faced by Hollywood movies in China, that is, the homogeneity of imported blockbuster movies is serious, and the pursuit of special effects ignores the plot and character creation. It was like a delicacy served to the audience, sprinkled with MSG.

Young people are relatively more fond of it, and they are also the main audience for this kind of Hollywood blockbuster.

Of course, there is no shortage of real high-quality works in Hollywood movies, but it is difficult for films with literary tendencies to be introduced into China, and the box office after introduction is often very poor, and they are not welcomed by theaters.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the country's protection policy for domestic films, that Hollywood blockbusters have had a huge impact and influence on the domestic film market, and domestic films have also been able to occupy a place in the past ten years.

However, youth idol films and popular IP films, which domestically rely on for the main market, are also facing a serious problem of homogenization. While making the domestic film market more and more popular, the prospects are also confusing.

Lu Chen leads Chenfei Media, and if he wants to seize the territory in this huge market, strength, connections, luck and opportunities are indispensable.

As a newcomer to the film industry, he is not favored by many insiders.

At 8 pm on March 26th, Yiwang, one of the largest portals in China, and its Yiwang Video entertainment program "Weekly Movie Talk" were broadcast on time, and Lu Chen and "A Chinese Ghost Story" were involved in it.

"With the further opening up of the domestic film market, the number of Hollywood blockbusters entering the country will further increase in the future, and the domestic film protection month will eventually be cancelled..."

"Last few years,

Japanese and Korean films have sprung up suddenly, and many excellent works have been introduced into the country, forming a trend of encircling domestic films. Therefore, the situation is very severe, and the market share may be further compressed! "

The guests sitting in the live broadcast room talked eloquently: "So if domestic films want to stand out from the encirclement, the key lies in the film production organization. Domestic film companies need to become bigger and stronger, keep up with the international mainstream in terms of technology, and need to stick to the content in terms of content. In line with the domestic market, invest more funds for development."

The online variety show "Weekly Movie Talk" is one of Yiwang Video's brand-name programs. It is broadcast once a week. Each episode will invite a famous person in the film industry, such as directors, actors, producers, screenwriters, Film critics, etc., come to comment on the movies released this week and predict the new movies released next week.

This show has a high hit rate.

This issue of "Weekly Movie Talk" has invited well-known columnist and film critic Wang Xiaoxu.

It is not the first time for Wang Xiaoxu to appear on this show, and he is also very familiar with the host. In addition, the degree of freedom of online programs is much higher than that of TV programs, so he can speak freely without too many scruples.

"This week's "Decisive Battle of Vulcan" has won 500 million box office, and it is inevitable to break through 1 billion. From this, we should see that the successful Hollywood studios are basically big, small and medium-sized movies. The number of companies is very small, and in contrast, our domestic film production units are numerous and scattered, which seem to be of considerable size, but in fact, the individual strength is not strong enough, so it is naturally difficult to defeat the opponent."

The host nodded in agreement and said, "You are very reasonable, and next week there are two new domestic films that will be released, one is "Our Youth Is Not Lonely" and the other is "A Chinese Ghost Story". "

While the host was introducing, the trailers of the two movies appeared on the big screen behind him.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think of these two new domestic films?"

Wang Xiaoxu turned his eyes back from the screen and said: "I have watched all the trailers of these two new films. Needless to say, "Our Youth Is Not Lonely" is still a youth idol movie. From the trailers, there are not many new routines. There should be a box office, after all, this movie viewing market has always been there."

"As for the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story"..."

He shook his head.

The host is sensitive: "You don't like it?"

Wang Xiaoxu said with a smile: "I don't like it very much. The reason is very simple. "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a fantasy ghost film adapted from the story of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", while "Painted Skin" of the same type has been released on the 14th, and the box office has only hit the box office so far. More than forty million."

""Painted Skin" has a larger cast and investment than "A Chinese Ghost Story", and has more special effects shots. In the end, it can't even recover the cost, which shows that the audience doesn't like films with this theme. ", "A Chinese Ghost Story" will not perform better than "Painted Skin"."

The host had a different opinion: "Teacher Wang, as far as I know, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a box office of over 100 million in Hong Kong, and its word-of-mouth and box office are better than "Painted Skin"!"

Wang Xiaoxu disagrees: "The situation in Xiangjiang is very different from that in China. The audience there prefer ghost movies, and when "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released, there were no Hollywood blockbusters at the same time, and..."

After a pause, he said: "And "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a box office of over 100 million... It is said that the peripheral products have sold tens of millions. To be honest, I don't really believe this."

Wang Xiaoxu's doubts about "A Chinese Ghost Story" Xiangjiang box office, although he didn't say it clearly, but the expression on his face can be seen by anyone.

Probably feeling that this topic is too sensitive, the host quickly changed the topic: "Then Mr. Wang, what do you think of the recent..."

...

On the second morning after "Weekly Movie Talk" was broadcast on the Internet, Lu Chen only watched it once in the office.

At first, Lu Chen didn't even know there was this show, but his fans fought with the show's guest Wang Xiaoxu on the Inspur blog, and it caused an uproar!
