Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 937: Number One in Film History!

"It's the same wherever you watch a love movie. No matter how much Chen Mubaihua invests, it still can't change the essence of this movie."

Caitlin sneered and said: "No matter what the reason is, the fact that he was able to do such a risky thing is enough to show that he is too arrogant to try to change the choice of the market and the audience. His failure is justified in my opinion. .”

"Especially in order to get closer to special effects movies, he actually chose to make this movie into 3D. The ticket price is higher than the price of 2D movies. However, if this kind of love movie can have any special effects shots, the audience will be willing to pay for a movie. Do you pay for the 3D love movie with special effects?"

Although Chen Mubai has always been successful as their opponent, Caitlin has never underestimated Chen Mubai's strength, but this time, Chen Mubai's ambition is a failure in her view, with poor vision and investment, it is definitely a failed move .

This can be seen from the box office.

North American audiences don't pay the bill.

Caitlin's comment on "Titanic" from the perspective of big data is indeed no problem.

Ordinary movies are evaluated in terms of quality, box office, and word-of-mouth. Literary films are good in quality and word-of-mouth, but the box office alone is not good, and their entertainment companies value the box office the most, especially big investment projects.

No matter how high the word-of-mouth I want is useless, after all, a loss may be hundreds of millions of dollars. This loss is indeed too huge, and it is really useless whether it is popular or not.

How many movies that were popular or not popular all stopped the follow-up development. In the final analysis, they did not bring profits, and no matter how high the word of mouth was, they could not contain the losses caused by the box office.

"However, his original intention was to hit the Berlin Film Festival. If he can win an award, it would not be considered a failure. It is just an investment of 200 million US dollars for a love movie. I don't know if Chen Mubai is too ambitious or too arrogant."

Caitlin was a little bit embarrassed, she loved and hated Chen Mubai.

What I love is his talent. His ability to absorb money is not comparable to many people in the world. Directors who can reach his level are all world-renowned directors. When they shoot film and television works, they cooperate with the company They are all in equal status and have a certain right to speak. Even investors cannot ignore their opinions. This is the status impact brought by ability!

What I hate is also his talent, because they are rivals and the kind that is difficult to reconcile.

It is a very good thing to have such a teammate, but it is an unfortunate thing if it is an enemy.

After Trillis finished listening to Caitlin's words, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and continued what he had just said.

"Although the response of "Titanic" in the North American market was not good, the response in the Chinese market was very good. The single-day box office received nearly 100 million U.S. dollars, and the single-week box office exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars!"

Even if this result is placed in North America,

It is also a very popular movie, let alone in China!

Caitlin was silent for a while, and then said: "It's not that I can't understand. After all, Huaxia is Chen Mubai's territory. With his current achievements and fame, it is normal for the people of Huaxia to support him. In the past, there were also local movies in Huaxia that won 4. $500 million at the box office, but the international box office is so-so."

"However, this movie really surprised me with such a high box office in the first week. It seems that Chen Mubai's investment should be returned. I think this is the best result."

No matter what the results of "Titanic" are, with its current box office and the distribution of ticket warehouses in North America and Europe, this movie will not make money, but it will definitely not lose money. After all, this movie is still hot. If it is shown, it will still get a lot of box office later.

Judging from China's terrifying box office, the investment in this movie will definitely pay off.

Huaxia deserves to be the largest box office outside of North America, and the second largest box office in the world. Over the years, Huaxia's movie box office has been rising steadily, making many foreign countries pay more and more attention to this box office, which is not unreasonable.

It's amazing that a love movie can get such a high box office!

Trillis also agrees with this point, but he doesn't think that "Titanic" can make money, but that this movie can make money.

Caitlin was amazed: "Chen Mubai made the right bet again this time? Even if the world's film market does not pay for his works, the box office in China is enough to make him pay back. No wonder he has repeatedly invested in big productions, just wanting to rely on Huaxia's box office returns?"

"It seems that his publicity strategy is right. The publicity strategy that binds the feelings of the people of the country can indeed keep his works popular, and fans are willing to pay for his works. The work of the film has fed back, and he has received general support in the confrontation with Oscar, and he has defined himself as a [weak] status in order to win sympathy."

"In this case, it incited the emotions of the public, which made his works more popular and exploded at the box office."

"However, it's too early to tell. There is a lot of money for production + publicity. This movie is full of momentum in China because everyone is on holiday during the Spring Festival. According to the trend of this performance, many people should have watched it. Follow-up It is definitely difficult to increase the box office, and it is estimated that it will not increase by a little bit, and the early explosion has completely wiped out the box office potential of the work."

Caitlin analyzed what happened to Chen Mubai in the past few years. She never denied Chen Mubai's talent and talent, but this also required certain opportunities and marketing methods. Not every genius work can be loved by everyone and at the same time still Can get such a high heat.

At least from the perspective of the rise of several talented directors, they are all similar to Chen Mubai, but they are far behind in terms of influence. The impact of this marketing method on himself and his works is also immeasurable.

Caitlin believes that Chen Mubai has such a strong appealing ability in China. Apart from his own talent, a large part of the external factors are due to successful marketing methods.

She also knew that the Huaxia promotional slogan of "Iron Man" was indeed a very successful marketing plan.

Starting from the first sci-fi work of national righteousness as a gimmick, and then using the super-high production scale and the slogan of the rise of Chinese special effects and sci-fi blockbusters, it will make the Chinese people proud and increase the influence of the work by adding a sense of national responsibility, so that everyone will actively support this movie. , Let the movie's box office get a blowout!

With the success of "Iron Man", "Titanic" will have such explosive results, which can be said to be achieved by sitting on the shoulders of "Iron Man".

At least in Huaxia, there is such a result. Although it is a bit unexpected, it is reasonable.

"I don't want to talk about the box office issue first, but I want to ask you one thing, have you seen this movie?" Trillis actually disagreed with Caitlin's box office estimate for "Titanic".

"No." Caitlin said in amazement, "What's wrong? I don't have time to watch this movie, but I'm concerned about the movie's response in theaters."

"Do you know the word-of-mouth and quality of this movie, as well as its rating on the film and television works website."

Caitlin still shook her head and said, "I don't know the details, but I've heard of some, and the evaluation seems to be very high?"

"But this kind of evaluation is nothing, only the box office is real. When the movie is just released, there will be a professional review team to increase the popularity of the work and attract the audience to go to the theater to watch the movie, unless the quality of the movie Too bad, otherwise this bragging can last for a while."

"Titanic" is currently in hot release, and it is normal for the work to have good reviews and word-of-mouth. This is a method specially manipulated by film and television companies to increase the popularity of the work.

In this way, there will always be audiences who like the movie, and there will always be audiences who hate it, and then the two sides will have disputes. This kind of quarrel is also the key to maintaining the popularity of the movie.

What a work is most afraid of is not being debated, but it is most afraid of not being discussed by people, so that there will be no attention and popularity at all, which is not conducive to the ferment of the topic of the movie and is not conducive to the box office.

After Caitlin finished speaking, she found that Trillis had a serious expression on her face, and she suddenly had a bad feeling: "Do you think highly of this movie?"

Trillis nodded and said: "I watched this movie. Although there were not many people in the theater at the time, everyone watched it seriously, and the quality of the movie was really high. It was not judged by a professional team. Many passers-by spontaneously recommend it.”

The professional team criticizes and the audience spontaneously praises the work. Trillis can tell that he is in this line of work. Can you not see the traces of the team?

He wished the movie had a team reviewing it, so that he wouldn't be so irritable.

"Can a love movie be so surprising?" Kaitlyn couldn't imagine.

Trillis sighed: "It's not just about love, this movie tells a lot of things. According to Chen Mubai's thinking, I think this movie is indeed likely to win the Golden Bear Award. Although there is no direct political expression in it, it is the cause of everything. The roots are all products of politics, which is the type of works favored by the Berlinale."

"So, I think that even if the film loses money at the box office and does not win awards, it still cannot cover up the brilliance of this work. It can also have a profound impact by virtue of word of mouth and quality. This is a work that can leave a name in film history. Even Famous in film history, I think that in the past few decades, there will be no love movie that can surpass the height of this movie."

Caitlin looked at Trillis seriously and said, "Is it really that good?"

Trillis nodded firmly: "Yes."

He still didn't say a word, the box office and winning awards for this film are not impossible, but very possible!

This shows that Chen Mubai's "rhetoric rhetoric" has been realized again, and the shady scenes of the last Oscar will forever become an indelible stain that cannot be erased.

As long as stains are mentioned, people will talk about "When Happiness Comes Knocking" and "Titanic". Oscar's original choice made it a joke for the rest of his life!

Originally, the credibility of Oscar dropped a lot when there was a commotion last time. Once Chen Mubai wins the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, the credibility will drop again, even worse than last time

"In other words, Chen Mubai is already invincible," Caitlin murmured.

Trillis was also in some pain. The opponent he had been facing was so powerful, and if he fell in front of it several times, anyone would feel a little hopeless.

"It's a pity, I didn't win the cooperation with Mubai Entertainment last time."

At this moment, Trillis felt infinite regret.

The take-off of Mubai Entertainment is unstoppable, it depends on where it can reach.

Previously, some media joked that Mubai Entertainment would become the Hollywood of the East, which caused quite a bit of controversy at the time.

I am afraid that the success of "Titanic" will confirm this news, and it will become a rivalry.

The film and television companies in the world will have another behemoth, and it is the only film and television production company from the East!

The outbreak of "Titanic" stunned everyone, even the Chinese people were amazed by this dazzling achievement.

On the Internet, the topic of the movie is still very hot, and many viewers go to the theater to watch the movie every day.

However, compared to the first week, the attendance rate has indeed dropped a lot, which is normal. After all, there are still some people who have seen the work, and because of the fierce momentum of this movie, the theater has specially added another lineup for this movie. The screening rate of the film was once as high as 61%!

This is the box office schedule for the Spring Festival, and the rest of the movies can only be divided into the remaining 39%, and there are many works of first-line stars.

No one can compare with Chen Mubai's appeal, and now many film studios are no longer stubborn, thinking that they can rely on the cast to counter Chen Mubai's influence, it is simply courting death

"I really didn't expect this movie to be so popular!"

"yes."

"But it's really good to watch, and it's different from the love movie I imagined."

Lu Fang and the others sat together, and they sighed to each other.

If the success of "Iron Man" was within their expectations, "Titanic" really stunned them.

After all, no one would have imagined that a money-loving movie would be so popular with the audience.

Compared with sci-fi movies like "Iron Man", the special effects are enjoyable to watch, the audience likes it, and the high box office is understandable. Putting it on a movie that loves money, it is a bit unimaginable.

If, before the release of "Titanic", someone told them the film's achievements, they would never believe it. When the facts were really presented in front of everyone, everyone could only be shocked.

"If I were a woman, I would also fall in love with Mu Bai." Li Feng joked.

Chen Mubai smiled and said: "It's good that you are not a woman, otherwise you are doomed to be lonely all your life."

"Haha!" Lu Fang and the others laughed heartily.

"To be honest, according to the current trend, what is the box office of this movie?" Qian Duoduo asked curiously.

What they are talking about only refers to China's box office, excluding overseas markets.

"I got 2 billion in the first week, so it should be 4 billion anyway. I still feel that romantic movies are a bit vain."

Li Feng gave a relatively conservative figure. He thinks it is not easy for this movie to have such a high box office, but it is still a bit difficult to surpass the 5 billion of "Iron Man".

The two works are not of the same type at all, and the mainstream of the market now is that sci-fi movies are more popular. Although "Titanic" has a high box office in the past, it will be more difficult to increase the box office in the future. Every 100 million is a difficulty, let alone Say 1 billion!

Qian Duoduo stretched out a palm: "I dare not say that it surpasses the achievement of "Iron Man", but I can barely touch the ceiling of 5 billion, which should be about the same."

"I think so too." The figures given by Shang Ran and others are roughly the same.

"What does Mubai think?" Everyone looked at Chen Mubai.

"Number one is not a problem."

Everyone was surprised: "China's movie box office ranks first, and that means more than 5.5 billion box office!?"

Chen Mubai's eyes were extremely bright, and he seemed to be in high spirits. The corners of his mouth were curved: "I mean the number one in the world's film history."

The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone was shocked by Chen Mubai's words.

This is and its self-confidence!

The number one in China is no longer in his eyes, and his eyes are actually on the number one in the world!

You know, "Iron Man" had a global box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, and it ranked eighth on the world movie box office list. If you want to become the first, you have to get 2 billion US dollars, which is not easy.

Tao Yaoyao was the first to break the silence. She raised her white and tender palm, clenched it into a fist, and said with a sigh of relief: "I believe in you!"

Lu Fang hesitated and said, "But the response of this movie in North America is not good."

As the largest box office in the North American market, if it wants to get good results, it must be inseparable from the box office explosion there. The results of "Titanic" are a bit far behind.

Even if the Southeast Asian market and the European market may be able to bring some box office to the film in the later stage, it will be difficult for it to become the number one in the world.

The cultures of European and American audiences are relatively close, and their aesthetics are similar, so there is not much difference in the taste of film and television works. If North American audiences do not particularly like "Titanic", I am afraid that this movie may not be popular in Europe.

Confidence is a good thing, but Lu Fang is afraid that Chen Mubai's goal is set too high, and he will be disappointed if he doesn't complete it by then.

It's okay if the grades are not much worse, but I'm afraid that the gap is too different from the expected one, which will affect the mood.

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning." Chen Mubai smiled.

Everything needs an opportunity to explode. The current performance of "Titanic" in North America is not to say that the quality of the film is not good, but they may think that a Chinese person's view of love is different from theirs. difference, so I don't want to see it.

But this movie was shot against the background of the early 20th century, and it restores the social era at that time. In fact, it is the cultural atmosphere of Europe and America, and they will not notice the obstacles at all.

The first week has passed, and the topic and popularity of the movie are almost the same. The super high word-of-mouth and ratings will definitely attract the attention of netizens, which will make them enter the theater curiously.

"I believe this movie will break out in North America. I have already contacted Bruce Lee. He will do his best to promote this movie and start this war!"

Li Feng said puzzledly: "It's only now that we start to invest more in publicity in North America, shouldn't we do this before the release?"

Chen Mubai explained: "There is a problem of cultural differences here. The cultures of China and North America are different, and the same is true for love views. People there may not like our love views. Let people who have seen it leave their comments, and have enough time to ferment the word-of-mouth of the movie, and when I promote it again, these word-of-mouth and comments will be the best [weapon].”

""Titanic" has a score of 9.6 on the Rotten Tomatoes website, and its reputation is overwhelming, so those who are curious can definitely be attracted by this quality as long as they search for information about the movie, after all, the people who rated it there are all themselves people."

That's how it turned out, everyone knew what Chen Mubai was doing.

Afterwards, everyone skipped this topic and started discussing other works.

Next, Mubai Entertainment needs to launch a lot of works. Shang Ran, Tao Yaoyao and others have sequels to be produced, and Qian Duoduo's "Huaxia Captain" has already started filming.

This does not include several superhero works that Mubai Entertainment has cooperated with Solomon.

five months later.

A piece of news shocked the whole world.

The global box office of "Titanic" exceeded 2 billion U.S. dollars, becoming the first place in the global movie box office list!
