Chapter 876 Extra 17: Annual Global Box Office ChampionAfter the box office exceeded 50 billion, the subsequent box office growth slowed down.
It mainly relies on some groups, schools and other places to organize joint film viewing.
This also makes today's market appear very distorted.
This year's hottest schedules are far ahead, with the Spring Festival and National Day schedules remaining at the top.
The rest of the period was terrible, barely maintaining a balance between expenses and income, relying entirely on Coke and popcorn to make some money.
The smaller cinema chains are not so bad, but Wanda, as the leading company, suffered the most.
The maintenance of iMax and other equipment in cinemas across the country costs a lot of money.
After a detailed discussion that night, Chen An and Xu Ke talked for several days at Light Year Pictures, and it took nearly a week to finalize the deal.
Light Year Pictures has signed up this renowned domestic film director and has preliminarily finalized the project to develop "The Legend of Zu"!
Xu Ke also went all out. Why bother with martial arts? He is already old, so he might as well go for the fairy tale!
In the Light Years Pictures building, in the chairman’s spacious office on the top floor.
Xu Ke stood in front of Chen An's glittering trophy glass case with his hands behind his back, and said with envy, "Director Chen's trophies are really dazzling."
"The achievements of decades of hard work have not been in vain."
Chen An smiled indifferently and sat on the sofa with his back to the other person.
To be honest, he himself was tired of these things. From being unable to let go in the beginning to becoming ordinary, time would always dilute everything.
Only when you can't get it will you cherish it more. After the three golds gathered together, I would watch them from time to time, but later I didn't care about it at all.
Xu Ke looked at the several Oscar statuettes on one side of the trophy and couldn't help but think of his time as a student in the United States.
Time flies, looking back, I can't help but sigh.
Since the cold winter, the big screen market in the film industry has not recovered very well.
But it has little impact on the small screen, and as for variety shows, it can be said that it has no impact at all.
The lives of many female stars are actually pretty much the same.
There are more and more newcomers on TV screens, but the 85 flowers still dominate the mainstream.
On the contrary, among the original four actresses and two actresses, only Fan Xiaopang and Zhang Ziyi occasionally appear in activities.
The four leading ladies, some were arrested, some retired from the screen. After Zhou Xun got married, her output decreased drastically, and she couldn't get any satisfactory work.
Apart from commercial appearances and some not-so-many big-screen productions, Li Xuexue has not appeared in many appearances nowadays.
The market share has basically been given to the 85 flowers, and many of them have moved behind the scenes.
But unfortunately, the 85 flowers are very good on the small screen, but none of them can fight on the big screen.
Only Liu Qianqian and Yang Mi have some resources, and the others don’t even have much access to them.
The former has just failed and is starting to return to small-scale productions, while the latter has already been labeled as a customer-turning product.
In the field of big screen, the 90 flowers and 95 flowers that gradually emerged were cheap, easy to use and very popular. They took this opportunity to start to impact the small screen market.
Yang Mi is feeling a lot of pressure now, and is still stuck in ancient idol dramas.
The same is true of my former good friend, Liu Shishi.
The marketing of "being as gentle as a chrysanthemum" is so loud that people have to work and support the elderly at the same time.
Her situation was not good.
After attending the new Harper's Bazaar Charity Gala, there was a round of photo shoots, and then there was endless marketing.
"Senior Sister, Light Year Pictures has sent me an audition invitation. Do you want to go?"
The assistant asked the first thing he did when he saw Liu Shishi, who looked exhausted after getting in the car.
Liu Shishi's elegant face was slightly disturbed: "Light years? Is it a movie?"
"That's right, I'm just a supporting role in The Wandering Earth 2." "Supporting role? That's right."
Liu Shishi laughed abnormally. That was right, it would never be her turn to be the protagonist.
The assistant continued, "The pay is not high, it's the market price."
Of course, I am not referring to the other party’s market price, but the general market price for supporting roles, which is not much money.
I just want to express my ideas casually. If you are willing to come, everyone will be happy. If you don’t come, it doesn’t matter.
Liu Shishi's eyes were as calm as autumn water, "Take it. It's better than staying at home or taking on some TV dramas anyway."
The deeper I delve into the industry, the more I feel that it is not so easy for the small screen to impact the big screen.
She heard that her former 'good partner' had taken on a light-year project, and she couldn't fall behind.
If we all want to make progress, we can make progress together. It’s also okay to regress, but we must regress together.
After nearly two months of release, the box office of "Changjin Lake" has reached billion, surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2".
But there is still a gap of more than 100 million compared to "Dying to Survive".
Everyone is basically certain that the chances are slim, as box office growth is now extremely weak.
But the movie is still worth celebrating, as the top spot on the global box office list for 2021 has been easily taken by a Chinese-language film!
And a miracle has been created, the top three places are all occupied by Chinese-language films!
They are "The Battle at Lake Changjin", "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Hello, Li Huanying".
The Chinese-speaking market has not recovered smoothly after the cold winter, but the US market is not much better.
Superhero movies can no longer wreak havoc around the world, and now we find that there is nothing we can do to defeat them.
The previously highly anticipated blockbuster "The Time Traveler" had a dismal box office, grossing only US$ million worldwide.
"Venom 2" lost the Chinese market, and its global box office was 5 million US dollars.
Under such bad circumstances, Chinese-language films suddenly achieved an epic achievement, surprising everyone!
The Hollywood media also shouted: "Disney Marvel's superhero movies destroyed Hollywood!"
A few years ago, Martin Scorsese blasted Marvel superhero movies as garbage, and "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola got involved, sparking a big fight!
Calling it a 'Marvel movie' is not a movie.
A war of words broke out in North America, and the European film industry was severely affected.
At that time, most of the supporters on both sides were Marvel fans.
Holland, who plays Batman, also mocked these veteran directors.
The current situation is one-sided, with countless people supporting these old directors and shouting that "superhero movies" have ruined Hollywood.
The Hollywood Daily, which has always been a troublemaker, has inherited the "good qualities" of the British.
In his own newspaper, he published that Chinese-language films occupied the top three spots in the global box office charts, and added: "I think I know why Chen, the highly regarded Hollywood director, left. With the rampant superhero movies, the once-great Hollywood no longer has the ability to create dreams!"
This has attracted a large number of media to join the fight, and those media who are keen on watching the fun will definitely not miss this opportunity.
It feels like adding fuel to the fire. With the popularity of Tik Tok, this topic has suddenly expanded.
Moreover, Chen An also has a grudge with Marvel that can be considered as a grudge, which originated from a war of words with the Marvel director in his early years.
The final result was a victory of Batman's 16 billion US dollars against Avengers 1's 15 billion US dollars.
After that, Chen An had few Hollywood works and withdrew from the Hollywood market.
It took several years before the movie "Ready Player One" was released.
Inexplicably, Chen An, who has disappeared from the Hollywood market for many years, has once again become the center of attention!
It feels like I'm not in the world anymore, but the world is full of legends about me.
Chen An, who knew the news, didn't care too much about it. He would never believe that Warner was not involved.
Disney has been so powerful for too long that it earns as much as five other companies and is poised to overtake MGM's former title of "King of Hollywood."
There will be many people who are unhappy with him, and there will definitely be many people who want to step on him!
