Chapter 725: A Miracle That Cannot Be Reproduced

Cui Minzhen was sitting cross-legged on the beige-based fabric sofa decorated with black and red patterns, leaning lazily on the soft sofa back, her usually beautiful and slim figure was completely invisible at this time.

Because in the aesthetics of ordinary people, a girl should have a protruding back and a thin waist to have a good figure.

But she was shrunken at this time, so she naturally didn't look so beautiful.

But comfortable!

This posture made her so comfortable that she didn't even want to move a finger.

On the tea table in front of her, there were several washed fresh fruits: Thai mango, beauty finger grapes, and Aksu apples.

Everything is so delicate and beautiful, people feel very appetizing when they look at it.

But Cui Minzhen didn't want to eat it.

She is so tired!

In the past, she had a sense of crisis and always wanted to prove herself in front of that "father" and make herself important.

Only when she becomes important, will she not become a cheap and convenient tool, which will be handed over by her father to an ally or subordinate.

This is not because of her dark mind, but because of what she has witnessed with her own eyes.

There are more than 20 half-brothers and sisters of hers. If there are too many, they are naturally not precious.

Her older sisters were all arranged by Cui Yingxuan, and some married someone who was still worth using, and the worse one was pushed to be the mistress of a certain important person.

Of course, it is impossible to be as ugly as a "mistress" in name, and it will be said to be "go to study with senior XX for a period of time, and in return, you have to take care of his daily life".

Cui Minzhen didn't dare to expect how much affection this father had for her.

For Cui Yingxuan, she is just a little thing that comes with his pursuit of happiness, like a gift for phone bills.

Although there is a close blood relationship between them, there is no family affection at all.

The more beautiful and cuter she looks, the more awards she gets, and the better she dances, all just increase her added value, making her more valuable when she is sent out, and making the recipients more satisfy.

That's all.

Now, she has finally proved herself, and in Cui Yingxuan's mind, she has become an important subordinate, and she will not be easily given away.

Cui Yingxuan even thought that she was already Hemingway's lover under her intentional misleading.

Cui Yingxuan regarded Hemingway, who was worth hundreds of billions, as a potential partner, a big capitalist worth paying an illegitimate daughter to win over.

So for now, she's safe.

At the same time, Cui Yingxuan also gave her more power, and she officially became the president of the Dahua branch of GS Co., Ltd.

So she is much busier now than before.

There are really not many opportunities to watch TV at leisure like now.

On the 50-inch LCD TV set that ordinary people can only afford with two years' salary, a talk show is playing.

Cui Minzhen usually does not watch this show, but today is different.

Today's guest is Du Caige.

Du Caige was talking eloquently: "I think this issue can be viewed from several aspects. First of all..."

Cui Minzhen listened very attentively.

She knows that Du Caige is a very boring, but also very insightful person. Some ideas are really inspiring. She has always liked to chat with Du Caige—although she has never spoken to him as Cui Minzhen, but as Cui Minzhen Another identity still chatted with Du Caige a lot.

Although Du Caige likes to fool people in the show, but this time it should not be fooling.

After all, this is a program on Banana Channel.

The relationship between Banana TV and Du Caige is very close.

This can be seen from the fact that they blatantly dug holes for Du Caige and asked a few tricky questions.

Du Caige was not even angry.

And the host even asked "Will you take care of the children during the break?" Although Du Caige smiled and said "refuse to answer", the question was not cut and it was played. It is through Qi, with a tacit understanding.

"So, Wulin's high overseas box office is a manifestation of our country's growing strength, which shows that people in other regions are full of curiosity about us and eager to pass our country's cultural products, such as movies, Come and get to know us. Even if I did not make 'Wulin', soon there will be other directors who will make other films and get good overseas box office results."

This answer is very spiritual and politically correct. Cui Minzhen pursed her lips and smiled, no wonder the official media liked him so much.

"Secondly," Du Caige continued, "the overseas box office of "Wulin" is high, and there is also an important factor, that is, action movies are the most suitable type of film for us to go abroad and attract overseas audiences. There is no one."

"I don't know if you've noticed, but the top five domestic films with the highest box office overseas—here I'm talking about the highest box office, not simply the highest value, but the inflation factor. The 10 million yuan 20 years ago is much higher than the current one. 100 million yuan is worth something, right?"

"Then the top 5 domestic films with the highest overseas box office box office, without exception, are all action films. Some people say, wait, some of them should be martial arts films."

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. Martial arts movies can also be classified under the category of action movies. The essence of action movies is to ping-pong-pong, fight and kill, mobilize people's emotions, and stimulate people's senses. Martial arts movies are a kind of Action movies with the characteristics of the Great Huaguo. I wonder if you have heard the saying, 'Only the nation belongs to the world'. This kind of movie with the label of the Great Huaguo is very distinctive and very different from their culture. It can most arouse the curiosity and interest of overseas audiences. They want to go into the cinema and see the mysterious oriental culture.”

Cui Minzhen's eyes narrowed slightly. This man who was originally as handsome as an idol star, when talking about his field of expertise, that kind of confidence and determination is really fascinating...

Cui Minzhen doesn't think this intoxicating feeling is love.

She didn't think she would fall in love with anyone.

She shouldn't have the ability to "love", right? After all, she was born in such a way and grew up in such an environment.

It's normal to be missing something.

In a trance for a moment, she missed a long passage.

When he focused again, Du Caige had already finished explaining the second reason in the program.

At this time, the host interrupted and said: "Mr. Hemingway, the two reasons you mentioned sound very reasonable. But I still have questions, especially for the second reason you mentioned, which does not explain , why the overseas box office of 'Martial Arts' is several times higher than that of the second-placed 'Gone with the Wind'. This is not a normal ratio."

Du Caige asked with a smile: "Then how many times is the domestic box office of 'Wulin' compared to 'The Heroes of the Wind'?"

The host was stunned for a moment, and quickly searched in his memory, after all, he had done his homework. Soon he found the answer, "Currently, it is about 1.3 times. The domestic box office of 'Warrior in the Wind' is 1.47 billion, which is among the top 5 excellent movies in the domestic box office list. But 'Wulin' has not yet been drawn, and the box office It's still growing, and it may end up being around 1.7 times."

At present, many institutions expect the domestic box office of "Wulin" to be 2.5 billion yuan, and 1.7 times of 1.47 billion is almost 2.5 billion.

Du Caige smiled, "That is to say, in terms of domestic box office, 'Wulin' is higher than 'Warrior of the Wind', but not too much higher. But the overseas box office of 'Wulin' is higher than that of 'Warrior of the Wind'." Almost 4 times."

"In particular, if we further subdivide the overseas market, 'Gone with the Wind' has earned a box office of US$192 million in the Asian region excluding Dahua, US$65 million in the Stars and Stripes, and a total of US$65 million in other regions. Got $13 million at the box office."

"The box office of 'Wulin' in Asia except Dahua is 257 million US dollars, and the box office of Stars and Stripes is 514 million US dollars. It has won a total of 100 million dollars in Western countries such as Wessex, Gaul, and Maple Leaf. $219 million at the box office."

"You think that this shows that overseas audiences, especially Western audiences, prefer 'Martial Arts', resulting in a box office gap of almost 10 times, right? Because of the Asian region radiated by Dahua culture, 'Warrior' and 'Martial Arts' ' The box office gap isn't that pronounced."

"Well, yes, I would like to ask Mr. Hemingway, have you found any tricks? The tricks to conquering Western audiences with very different cultures."

Du Caige laughed heartily a few times, and said, "Of course I found the trick! Write a book, write a few songs like this, let everyone know you, and they will naturally come to watch your movie out of curiosity. "

"This is not something that ordinary people can do. They have made achievements in the fields of comics, literature, music, and movies—no, they can all become the top in the world. You are the only one, right? It is a miracle that cannot be replicated." The host laughed for a while before saying, "Speaking seriously, is there any other trick?"

Du Caige laughed and said, "I don't know either. As I said, I didn't expect 'Wulin' to have such a high box office. So I can only deduce the reasons based on the results. Want to hear my analysis?"

"Everyone wants to hear it, it's one of the hottest topics on the internet these days."
