Chapter 178 Sino-US Co-production (2/5)

"The Great Wall" is a Sino-US co-production...

It is a popular gameplay in the past two years.

Of course, all movies with the words "China-US co-production" are undoubtedly bad movies!

There are few box office successes.

"The Great Wall" in a sense bears the responsibility of proving that China-US co-production is not an empty talk...

Over the years, China-US co-production has also summarized some experiences, and there are three main types of methods.

Or I pay for the money, you want a new story, this is a joint venture.

Or it’s your IP and my IP together, which is the linkage "Nezha and Transformers" is the latter.

There is another type: I will send an IP and funding, and you will help you shoot the Sino-US co-production "Where is the Way" which is a typical example!

"The Great Wall" obviously belongs to the first category...

Why do you need to make a co-production film?

In fact, it is capital linkage!

This involves the quota for Chinese imported films.

my country has strict regulations on imported account-sharing films released in theaters, with only 34 places per year!

Although Orange Manufacturing is considered its own, most of its works are horror movies and thrillers. In the past two years, the ones introduced are not only "Speed ​​Special Attack" and "Ace Bodyguard"... are basically broken...

By the way, a movie "La La Land" has been confirmed to be released this year...

But so what?

Among the six major Hollywood movies, every blockbuster can succeed in China, and many blockbusters can survive even by relying on the Chinese market!

"La La Land" is a...song and dance film!

How much box office can it earn?

Wen Ziren and the others are also envious of the Chinese market...

Therefore, the project "Great Wall" must be done!

Making a joint product between China and the United States, there is no limit on import share...

However, from the perspective of cultural output, the so-called "China-US co-production" is almost nothing.

Take "The Great Wall" as an example. The whole story is established everywhere!

So, is it that Chinese films are taking this opportunity to go to the world, or is it that overseas capital trying to make profits through joint shooting?

The movie "The Great Wall" is popcorn, and the so-called Chinese culture was added later.

...

Wanda through the bottom, the box office of "The Great Wall" in North America can surpass "Heroes" even if it is successful!

"Hero" North American box office of $50 million...

Wen Ziren still has this confidence!

After all, the worst-selling "Dead Silence" sold back then had a box office of $18 million in North America...

In fact, from North America alone, the marketing and publicity of "The Great Wall" is doing very well!

On platforms such as youtube, the pre-apple advertisements of "Great Wall" are everywhere, and the two official trailers posted earlier have accumulated 17.75 million views;

There are many topics on Twitter...

Of course, the topic is a bit crooked about the Great Wall of America and Mexico...

Ahem, Comrade Jianguo said that he wanted to build the Great Wall of America and Mexico...

Even many talk shows quoted the title of "The Great Wall" to joke about Jianguo, saving a lot of publicity expenses without explanation, and they all know what the Great Wall means!

Anyway, there is still a topic!

According to public information, the number of theaters released on the first day of "The Great Wall" was 3,326...

Beat all videos of the same period!

Box predicts that the first weekend of "The Great Wall" will be around $28.5 million, and the total box office is expected to be close to $60 million...

Of course, when box prediction agency predicted the box office, it was more likely that it predicted that "Warcraft" would have a box office of 80 million US dollars in North America!

...

In Orange Office, Zhong Lifang was interviewed by "Watching Movies", and the theme was "China-US co-production and "The Great Wall"...

"The reason why most of the Sino-US co-produced movies are bad is that the aesthetic levels of the two countries are different. Because Hollywood has a very developed film industry, the aesthetic standards of American audiences have exceeded that of China for many years."

"Americans are tired of watching many types of movies, and there are almost no one in China. Because of this aesthetic difference, it is very difficult to make a movie that also conforms to the common aesthetics of the people of both countries."

"Hollywood is not the aesthetic level of the United States. The movies made by Hollywood are globalized, so we must consider the greatest common divisor of the aesthetic needs of global audiences. But since it is a Sino-US co-production film, China will definitely require Hollywood to have more content when filming movies. The two are somewhat contradictory, so in recent years, the box office of Sino-US co-production films has been quite bad and the reputation is not good!"

"But "The Great Wall" is different. The movie itself is a popcorn movie, and we really spent $150 million..."

"There are few Chinese filmmakers who are good at making large-scale commercial films. In fact, what we thought at the beginning was to let director Zhang Yimou direct this drama, but he was not interested in it at all..."

“…The box office is expected to exceed 400 million US dollars worldwide, and the reputation is passed…”

"We did the Great Wall, and we didn't want to make a Sino-US joint film at the beginning, but the 150 million US dollar investment is hard to recover the cost by relying solely on the mainland market..."

"In addition to filling in the gaps in magic and monster themes, I mainly want to prove that Orange has the ability to create world-class blockbusters!"

Zhong Lifang blows all kinds of things...

Then it's big sweet again...

There is no way, Da Tiantian is really abrupt in "The Great Wall"!

Check out the rankings: Chris Evans, Jing Tian, ​​Yu Rongguang…

She is the second heroine!

"…I don't know where the strange remarks came from online. In the project "Great Wall", Wanda invested 100 million US dollars to promote his actresses. It's normal!"

"I think she has fulfilled the director's request well and is worthy of the actor's identity!"

"At least she didn't play the show, nor did she abuse her substitute..."

Zhong Lifang was blowing here, while Lu Xiaoran was "chatting" with Zhang Hongzhen...

It’s not considered a chat, Zhang Hongzhen has encountered something!

Dongyang Qingyu regrets the profit...

This can be traced back to the period when "The Hunting Ground" started filming in 2015. "The Pretender" and "Langya Bang" have not yet been released and are popular. Lao Hu's acting skills and appearance have been suppressed on the set and in the studio, and there is no chance to show it to the audience.

At this time, the producer, Dongyang Qingyu Media, sold "Hunting Ground" to Leshi Video and Mango TV respectively for the premiere of 1.7 million and 3 million episodes during the filming period...

However, with the broadcast of "The Pretender" and "Langya Bang", Lao Hu quickly became a top-tier domestic TV series actor, and the price of "The Hunting Ground" starring him also increased.

In 2016, the copyright fees of domestic TV series surged. "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" set a sky-high price of 9 million yuan per episode online, with a total of 90 episodes and a total of more than 1 billion TV series copyright records.

According to market estimates, the single episode of "Hunting Ground" can be sold for at least 7 million yuan per episode, and the price has almost doubled.

After Zhang Hongzhen settled the score, this thing was twice as different!

Therefore, Lao Zhang wanted to terminate the contract with both parties on the grounds that Mango TV and Leshi Video did not pay their down payment...

Then, both parties sued the court, and the Hunting Ground had to postpone the broadcast. Dongyang Media lost the first game and paid a liquidated damages of more than 50 million yuan...
