Chapter 717 Why His Movies Are So Popular
"Tell me, why are Hemingway's films so popular overseas? The overseas box office even exceeds the domestic box office."
Shu Yihuan's voice interrupted Shen Jinsong's reverie.
"It's luck. His luck has always been good." Shen Jinsong laughed.
Shu Yihuan shook her head slowly, "It's not luck. If I always simply use 'luck' to summarize other people's success, then I will stay where I am, and I will never be able to improve. I must find the reason for his success."
Shu Yihuan was very melancholy.
It took him 8 movies to get 2.7 billion overseas box office.
The "Three Heroes of Jinmen", which he had high hopes for, only earned more than 500 million overseas box office.
Before that, he never dared to imagine that there would be any domestic film whose overseas box office could exceed the domestic box office.
In his perception, even if the overseas box office can only reach half of the domestic box office, it is already super successful, and can be hyped up by the media as "going abroad and winning glory for the country".
And the overseas box office of "Wulin" is higher than the domestic box office, which is simply a fantasy!
Although it is not the first case in the history of Great China, after all, there are some low-budget movies that bloom inside the walls and are fragrant outside the walls.
But it is definitely the only movie with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, the overseas box office exceeds the domestic box office.
Who cares whether you stay where you are or continue to improve... I just want this movie to make money for me. Shen Jinsong did not say it, but said with a smile: "The English songs he wrote are also very popular, and he has also won awards from the literary circle and Grammy."
Shu Yihuan was thoughtful, "You mean, he understands the culture of the Stars and Stripes, the market of the Stars and Stripes, and the needs of the audience of the Stars and Stripes, right?"
"I guess so."
Shen Jinsong's tone was perfunctory.
In fact, he had discussed this issue with his friends in the Stars and Stripes.
At that time, those friends did not use the word "understand".
But "deep understanding".
Hemingway had a deep understanding of the culture, market demand, and public psychology of the Stars and Stripes.
That's why Hemingway's songs can become popular culture.
The market did not choose Hemingway by random chance.
It was Hemingway who led the market.
The meaning of this is extremely scary to think about.
"Anyway," Shen Jinsong changed the subject and continued to comfort Shu Yihuan, "'Admiral' got 287 million pre-sale box office, which is higher than 'Wulin'."
Shu Yihuan shook her head.
He doesn't like to lie to himself.
"Wulin" has only been pre-sold for two days at the box office, and the pre-sale box office is 260 million.
And "Master Admiral" had a 5-day pre-sale box office. From Wednesday, July 20 to Sunday, July 24, the 5-day pre-sale box office was only 287 million.
If you have to use this data to compare with "Wulin", you are just asking yourself to be humiliated.
"Don't compare yourself to others, just be yourself. Anyway, we'll see tomorrow night." Shu Yihuan said.
Today is July 19th, "The Admiral" has no scheduled screenings, nor does it have a zero-point show like "Wulin", but will hold its premiere at 7:00 tomorrow night.
"Then I wish Director Shu to break the box office record on the first day." Shen Jinsong laughed.
He's not joking, let alone ironic.
Rather, in his opinion, "Lord Admiral" really has a chance to break the box office record on the first day.
The total pre-sale box office of "Wulin" is 260 million, of which 120 million on July 9 and 140 million on July 10.
In the end, "Wulin" scored 214 million at the box office on the first day, setting a new record.
Among the 287 million pre-sale box office of "Master Admiral", it was 94 million on July 20.
Although July 20th is not a weekend, it is a weekday.
But in the past 20 years, Shu Yihuan has proved his strength time and time again, firmly sitting on the throne of "the first person in domestic martial arts movies".
His name is the golden signboard.
It has also cultivated many loyal fans.
Therefore, many people are willing to watch Shu Yihuan's movie as soon as possible on this working day to express their support.
This is Shu Yihuan's first new work after "Three Heroes of Jinmen".
At the beginning, the word-of-mouth of the "Three Heroes of Jinmen" was mediocre. Many fans said that they felt that the movie lacked novelty and could still be watched, but it was not particularly good-looking.
It's not a bad movie, but I can't say how good it is. I'm a little disappointed with Shu Yihuan.
Although Shu Yihuan's loyal fans think this is carping, there is still a certain market for this statement.
This also led to the amazing box office of "Three Heroes of Jinmen" when it was first released, but it lacked stamina because of its mediocre reputation.
However, movie fans are lovely, and many people are willing to continue to believe in Shu Yihuan and support his new work as soon as possible.
For Shu Yihuan, it is precisely because of the mediocre reputation of the "Three Heroes of Jinmen" that he can't wait to make some new attempts, and reached an agreement with Shen Jinsong to make movies for Dream-by-Dream Interactive Entertainment, burn Dream-by-Dream Interactive money to try his new creative ideas.
Even if the innovation fails, you can immediately get the big investment provided by Tianyi Entertainment, and make a big production to reverse the decline and fight a turnaround.
Shu Yihuan has high hopes for this "Lord Admiral".
Although he doesn't expect "Lord Admiral" to challenge the mythical box office data of "Wulin".
But also hoping to break his own record.
I hope that this movie can achieve both box office and word-of-mouth.
Let movie fans know that he is still the first person in martial arts movies.
Use this movie to announce the return of the king.
Regarding Shen Jinsong's "I hope to break the box office record on the first day", Shu Yihuan thinks that there is no chance.
The total box office is unlikely to match "Wulin".
But there should still be a chance at the box office on the first day, right?
After all, "The Admiral" got an average of 52% of the first-day filming, 14% higher than the first-day filming of "Wulin".
Its first-day pre-sales also reached 94 million, which is far from the first-day box office record of 214 million.
Of course, "The Admiral" actually has disadvantages, that is, "The Admiral" is not a 3D movie, and the average ticket price is much lower than "Wulin".
Among the pre-sold shows, the average ticket price of "The Admiral" is 34 yuan, which is a normal and high domestic film standard.
Generally, the average ticket price of domestic movies is about 26 yuan.
The average ticket price of "Wulin" is 56 yuan, which is comparable to the top Hollywood productions imported.
So on the whole, Shu Yihuan believes that it is not impossible for "Master Admiral" to break the box office record on the first day, but it is not too great.
Don't need to have too much hope, I'm lucky if I get it, and my life is lost.
"Mr. Shen, I'll ask you for a good word. I'm leaving first, and I have to record a show later." This is also for publicity.
Shen Jinsong got up, shook hands with him, and sent him outside the door with a smile on his face.
Only then did he sit back, dazed in a daze, and occasionally smoke a cigar, letting the blue smoke grow like vines.
And he sat in a cage made of smoky vines, with nowhere to go.
...
"Beep, beep, beep..."
Then connected. Du Caige was refreshed.
"Why?" Duan Xiaochen's voice was a little cold.
But it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that she finally answered the phone again, and she was no longer in a lost contact state.
It's not accurate to say it's lost.
After all, she didn't hide.
Du Caige can learn about her whereabouts through friends in the industry, or through TV programs and online videos.
Jiang Juan will also report to him regularly every day.
Xu Qingya also hinted to him euphemistically that she had communicated with Duan Xiaochen and there was no quarrel.
However, since the day of the premiere, it was the first time Du Caige had a direct conversation with Duan Xiaochen.
He didn't apologize, let alone hem and haw, and went straight to the point: "Go to the movies."
"'Admiral Lord'? Want me to accompany you to investigate the enemy's situation?"
Du Caige laughed and said, "It's not an enemy, and 'Lord Admiral' is not an enemy either. It's just a date, whether or not to go."
After a long time, Duan Xiaochen still said in an angry tone: "Why should I date you. I don't want to date you."
Du Caige did not answer "Why?", but said: "Watch a movie first, and then eat supper. Are you going?"
"You man," Duan Xiaochen was furious, "you are sick, you don't know why. I'm angry with you, do you know? I said I don't want to date you."
Du Caige said quickly: "Then no date, accompany me to investigate the enemy's situation. Are you going?"
"...You are really a stalker, a stalker."
Hearing her tone seemed helpless, which was a sign of letting go, Du Caige said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I am stubborn, I am a stalker. In short, strong women are afraid of stalking men, right? Where are you, I will go pick you up."
Although he knew where Duan Xiaochen was, he still wanted to ask.
"I'm not a fierce girl, and you're not a cuddly man, don't do this to me," Duan Xiaochen sneered, but still answered him, "I'm in Hongyuan New Century. Don't come to pick me up, I don't want to see you."
Du Caige secretly smiled.
If you don't want me to pick you up, why tell me that you are at Hongyuan New Century Hotel?
"See you later." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, not giving Duan Xiaochen another chance to be hypocritical.
It seems that EQ has improved a lot recently, Du Caige thought with satisfaction.
He tidied up a bit, booked two movie tickets for "Master Admiral" at the Chasing Dream Cinema online, and set off for Hongyuan New Century Hotel.
This is 99 Hongyuan Hotels, one of the three hotels in Shanghai.
While driving, he thought, at this time, he can still book a ticket with a good seat. It seems that the attendance rate of "Lord Admiral" will not be very high.
