Superstar starts from the Film and Television Academy

So many film and television companies have begun to conduct research on the overseas market, of course, to conclude that the natural risk is still not small, the real dare to go out of the door of the company, in fact, only a few, after all, the domestic market can make money, why go to the foreign side of the mixed water?

However, while most of the film and television companies are still waiting to see what happens, Star Art Media announced in a high profile manner that their new film "Frozen Planet" will invite the original special effects team from "Wandering Earth" to do post-production, and the news received a lot of media attention.

Li Jun Miao has also declared more than once that "Wandering Planet" is an icebreaker, and they are just following in the footsteps of the icebreaker.

However, compared to Miao Li's desperate stance, most of the film and television companies have chosen to wait and see for the box office performance of "Vagrant Earth" in North America.

Once the box office performance of "Wandering Earth" is not good, it means that the cultural barrier between the East and West is strong enough to ignore the excellence of Chinese language films, without the largest North American market, then the plan of Chinese language films to go out will only become empty talk.

In early November, Han Fei received a phone call from Chris, Race Point has begun preparations for the "Wandering Earth" will be released in the middle of this month in North America, the reason for choosing this time is also to avoid the Christmas period, and collide with other Hollywood blockbusters.

Chapter 430 - Cool?

To speak of, the rice country race point company for the "wandering earth" or have great expectations, not only used, all their own theater relations, but also did a certain range of publicity, of course, the scale of this publicity is very limited, most of them are some cheap promotion, can only say, there is better than none.

The initial point of the company for the "Wandering Earth" to fight for the screen canvas only 432, according to the scheduling point of view, it is estimated that less than 5%, but this is the North American market, to have such a scale has been very rare.

Jackie Chan himself recalled that the reason why he was able to quickly open up a situation in Hollywood was because his nose was bigger, more recognizable than the average Chinese.

As far as Race Point is concerned, it's all about making money anyway, whether it's making money off of the Mickeys or the Chinese.

In fact, their promotional strategy was working; it had been many years since a Chinese film had logged into the North American market, and some Chinese still ate it up more than others.

Of course, most of the Chinese actually don't think highly of "Wandering Earth", after all, in their impression, the Chinese film seems to have never achieved good results except for kung fu films and martial arts films, science fiction? Come on, Hollywood is the home base of sci-fi.

On the other hand, Race Point is also under tremendous pressure. After John returned to China, he revealed the conditions under which Chris got the distribution rights of "Vagrant Earth", and even denounced him as a disgrace to Hollywood, and the whole circle laughed at him for giving such conditions to a Chinese film.

The ridicule in fact also represents the attitude of Hollywood counterparts towards "Vagrant Earth", they are used to looking down on all the film counterparts in the world from above. "In the eye of the beholder, no one cares if a Chinese film is released in North America.

For Chris, this is a battle he must win, and win beautifully, otherwise he is not only in danger of being kicked out by investors, but will later become the laughingstock of the entire industry.

In mid-November, "Wandering Earth" began to be released in North America, in fact, North America, the real release location are in the rice country, other regional cinema channels did not open, after all, not all cinemas are willing to give a Chinese film the opportunity to release.

That night, some Chinese people came to the theater, a small number of them saw a Chinese movie and walked into the theater to try, most of them were some Chinese international students, some of them had even seen in Warsaw, and then by chance discovered that "Wandering Earth" was actually released in North America, so they dragged their friends to join them. came to the theater.

"Hey Chris, you've made a good deal, if these Chinese would come in this many every day, the box office wouldn't have to worry." The yard manager said not without mockery.

Chris didn't look too good, but didn't argue, because this was Rice, and taunting black people you'd be considered racist and possibly lose your job, but taunting the Chinese? Sorry, it seems they tend to choose to be patient?

"Dude, don't look down on people, just watch, the number of Mickeys coming to see this movie will grow, and you'll just have to collect your money!" Chris said and walked straight out of the theater, he needed to calm down or he was afraid he would be unable to resist blowing that fat pig's brains out.

He is a second generation immigrant, and his son is sixteen years old. He opened a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and his business is quite good.

But it turned out that he saw the words "Wandering Earth" on the poster, and then he saw that it was a science fiction film made in China.

"Hey, why don't we take a look at this movie?" The old horse was excited and pointed to the ocean report.

His son, Little Horse, was a little reluctant: "No, I want to watch Dragon Tamer 3, I've seen the first two."

The old horse hesitated at the sound, but his wife patted his son's shoulder: "Just listen to your father, watch [Wandering Earth], you've seen the first two anyway, it's not bad, or you can buy a DVD to watch it when the time comes."

Xiao Ma complained somewhat depressingly, "Oh, that's a terrible decision, a Warhol sci-fi movie? Is there science fiction in Warsaw? Is it another one of those that flies around in the air?"

Lao Ma was embarrassed but had no way to argue, it seemed that all the Chinese movies that landed in North America were similar martial arts movies, and as for science fiction movies, well, he could only hope that he had been away from his hometown for too long.

"If it's too boring, I'll probably leave early, so don't you dare stop me." Pony was in the right time to rebel.

The old horse and his wife could only reluctantly agree to go into the screening room, with the pony sitting in the middle and the old horse and his wife, one with popcorn and the other with a coke, sitting on either side.

Xiao Ma went into the theater and shook his head straight at the sight of it, "See, all the people coming here are Chinese faces, it's obvious that they want to make your money, that's so stupid."

Lao Ma and his wife were even more embarrassed, but they heard a man behind them laugh, "No, believe me, this film is definitely worth the money you spend on tickets, I've already seen it in Warsaw, it's superb, and it's not all Chinese people coming to see it, don't you see that there are just a few foreigners?"

A small horse heard although still disdain, but also did not make a scene anymore, his wife gratefully nodded from the young man, the old horse also found some foreigners do not know whether out of curiosity or other reasons also entered the screening room.

Not long after, the screening began, the old horse looked somewhat similar to the beginning of the documentary, somewhat shocked at, the entire worldview of the huge, of course, the heart is more worried, such a large worldview, with the level of Huaxia film can really be able to film the real wandering earth world?

Xiao Ma, originally didn't have his spirit on the screen much, but after Liu Qi brought Han Bei Bei from the underground city to the ground, he couldn't take his eyes off the screen, especially when Liu Qi was driving the heavy-duty transport vehicle, he couldn't help but shout, "This is so cool."

Yes, it is cool, in Xiao Ma's impression, all Hollywood science fiction movies, no matter the operation of the spaceship or the operation of the armor, all of them are joystick type, like in "Wandering Earth", this kind of ball type console, it seems that there is no other adjective except cool.

Later, Liu Qi drove to the ice, when Han Bei Bei asked: what are those excavators doing, the entire Wandering Earth worldview began to explode in the audience's mind.

Lao Ma discovers that those foreigners seem to have the same expression as them too?

"Did they find it shocking too?" Old Ma inexplicably felt a sudden surge of pride.

Chapter 431 - The wolf is coming.

He grew up in Mordor and was only brought to Mickey when he was a teenager by his parents. His original impression of Mordor had gradually blurred, but when he saw Mordor turned into a barren ice field in the movie, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart.

Just like Han Zi'ang's memories of Mordor in the film, Lao Ma's memories of Mordor also remain twenty years ago, a feeling that domestic audiences cannot experience.

When Xiao Ma turned back suddenly, he was puzzled, what's wrong with Old Dad? It's just a movie, right? Although this movie is a lot more exciting than expected, how come it doesn't make you cry, right?

In fact, many of the Chinese students who were at Han Zion's story of the scallion noodles couldn't help but get sore eyes, yes, how long has it been since they had their mother's noodles?

When the story comes to the second half, Liu Qi asks Wang Lei: What is that? Is it a whale? Why did he swim so far?

Wang Lei replied: perhaps, to be closer to home.

What's more, the old horse almost cried out, can only bite his teeth to endure, the young horse still does not understand why the old father is so excited.

Until later, Liu Peqiang and Liu Qi's words, in fact, this is the typical Chinese father-son relationship, the father is always silent, the son also feels that there is nothing to talk about with the father, but when it comes to things, the father will still be like a child, to support the child a piece of heaven.

Liu Peiqiang is not really a typical Chinese hero, he joined the astronaut so that his son and father-in-law could get the chance to enter the dungeon without having to draw straws, he piloted the space station to ignite Jupiter, a large part of the power is also in order to let his son survive, he is not perfect, but irreproachable.

At the end of the film, Liu Qi drives a heavy-duty transport vehicle on an ice field, and the Earth smoothly moves from the era of escape into the long era of wandering, and among the final eggs at the end of the film, an even more expansive universe of wandering Earth seems to be waiting for them, which can't help but make people tremble with bloodlust at the same time.

"Wow, this is wonderful, is this, really a film made by the Chinese?"

"It's incredible, I've never seen such a hardcore sci-fi film before."

After the movie was broadcasted, the audience was in high spirits, especially the Chinese audience, and when they heard the Mickeys shouting for the movie, the pride they felt was inexpressible.

Chris was smoking by the trash cans in front of the theater, and it wasn't long before he saw many people coming out of the theater.

"Hey, man, got a light?" A black man pulled out a cigarette.

Chris saw him coming out of the theater and was impressed, "Here, man, what movie did you see? What do you recommend?"

"A Chinese movie [Wandering Earth], I think that's what it's called, it's too much of a mouthful, but it's not bad, I mean, beyond my wildest dreams, except for the people being a little unrecognizable, it's just perfect." The black man lit up his cigarette and took a beautiful drag, it was clear that this one was holding back in the theater.

Not long after, the garbage cans surrounded by many people to smoke, many Chinese people are talking about the "Wandering Earth", Chris is not proficient in Chinese, but similar to the "great, good-looking" or can understand some of the heart of the "Wandering Earth" box office on the first day, there is a certain expectation.

The whole night, Chris did not sleep, he was waiting for the first day of the "Wandering Planet" box office, finally the secretary twisted his waist and came in.

If it were normal, Chris would have had a laugh with the secretary, but now he was clearly not in such a mood.
