Chapter 1578 The taste of China
"The attitude over there in the Forbidden City is not very welcoming."
When Sun Peng asked about Hawkeye, Ye Xing also said with some distress: "To be honest, I don't think they are very optimistic about me playing Hawkeye... The biggest possibility is that they think my temperament and appearance are too
We are in China, and we are afraid that we will not be popular overseas."
When he said these words, Ye Xing was really depressed.
But now Ye Xing is a professional actor, no matter how depressed he is, he can now understand the producer's thoughts. After all, the target market of "Eagle Eye" is not only China, but also includes huge markets such as Europe and the United States.
, if the starring role is a face that is unrecognizable in the eyes of their audience...
So after smiling bitterly, Ye Xing could only helplessly shake his head and said: "Teacher Sun, I think I can give up the role of Hawkeye. After all, with such a huge investment, any oversight in details may lead to the failure of the movie."
An overseas box office failure!”
"..."
Sun Peng opened his mouth to say something, but soon fell silent.
From his standpoint, he really couldn't say much.
There is nothing wrong with Forbidden City Pictures' considerations. Let alone this world. Hollywood on Earth invites domestic stars to play roles, even if they are supporting roles or special roles. They hope that their appearance, temperament and other aspects will be more in line with their aesthetics. Let alone this world.
Huaxia Film Company still takes the initiative and must cater to the needs of the other party, right?
and……
Take a look at the movies Sun Peng chose. Aren’t they all Hollywood productions on earth?
The reason is very simple. Domestic movies cannot be sold abroad!
Even in China in this world, the world view and various popular cultures are not widely accepted overseas, so only a few domestic movies can explode at the overseas box office and cannot be as popular as Hollywood, so this is why Sun Peng hardly carries it.
Reasons for domestic movies.
He himself thinks this way, how can he question Forbidden City Pictures?
So looking at Ye Xing who was a little depressed in front of him, Sun Peng could only sigh, patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, if you don't want to act, don't act. If you can't, I'll go back and wait until I have time, and I'll give it to you myself."
Create a character!”
If Sun Peng persists, he may be able to make the Forbidden City compromise, but what's the point?
After hearing what he said, Ye Xing was naturally very happy. The two chatted in the lounge for a while, until it was almost time to go to attend the upcoming premiere together...
…
After the family gathering on New Year's Eve, Sun Peng's only important thing before the year was the premiere of "Han Bo and the Prisoner of Ha Ci". After attending the premiere, he accepted an interview and sent a few messages.
After posting on Weibo to promote it, he has completely entered the Spring Festival mode!
As a boss, you naturally have the benefits of being a boss.
If Sun Peng was just the leading actor or director of the movie, then he would have to perform and promote everywhere during this family gathering. I am afraid he would not have time to spend with his family during the entire Spring Festival. But now, as long as he doesn't want to go, no one can force him to participate.
So naturally I just stayed at home and had a good rest for a few days.
The entire Spring Festival was spent almost exclusively at gatherings with relatives and friends.
And "Han Bo and the Prisoner of Haci", the third part of the wizard that was released after "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", did not live up to Sun Peng's expectations and reassurance, and successfully came out this Spring Festival.
A huge explosion!
530 million on the first day of release!
The next day, 460 million!
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, 440 million!
…
Then there was a slight decline in the next four days, but after the seven-day Spring Festival, The Little Wizard has already earned 2.7 billion Chinese dollars at the box office in China! This figure undoubtedly far exceeds the results of the previous two movies, setting a new record for the Little Wizards.
A new record in the Witcher series!
"The final box office is raised to about 4.5 billion Chinese dollars, and "Han Bo and the Prisoner of Ha Ci" will set a new record!"
"The Little Wizard has exploded at the box office. Can it break the domestic record of Lao Bai movies?"
"The box office has completely surpassed the Little Magician, and the Little Wizard has overtaken his fellow disciples to become the leader?"
…
During the seven-day period, countless reports surrounded the Young Wizards series, and countless people's eyes also focused on the comparison between it and the "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" that was released more than a month ago!
In the first two parts of the two series, Harry Potter has always dominated Han Bo.
Needless to say overseas, even in China, although the box office of Xiao Hanbo is higher every time, the higher is often just a little bit, which does not form an absolute advantage. The reason is naturally that in the past few years
In the past ten years, Chinese audiences have been highly receptive to magician themes. Even on online sites such as Shuxiang, magician themes are also one of the very important genres. Instead, they are Chinese local wizarding themes, because there has never been anything heavyweight.
When a novel or movie comes out, people in the country find it a bit strange.
But after two movies as a foreshadowing, the little wizard finally started to shake things up.
The fans accumulated through several years of novels and movies are still second. The key is that the attention of passers-by attracted by the continuous success is quite powerful. Moreover, the style has become a bit darker with the third part, which makes many parents very dissatisfied.
Unlike the Little Magician series, Hua Xia's director always keeps the movie in a bright and relaxed atmosphere, and the wizard system does not have as many disgusting monsters as the magician system, there are many cute little monsters, etc.
Very popular with children.
Even in Europe and the United States, the results of "Han Bo and the Prisoner of Haci" were unexpectedly good.
The box office in North America in the first four days reached US$84 million, which is almost equivalent to the first weekend box office of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"! In the next three days, the total box office also successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars.
, reaching the level of more than 120 million. For a foreign language film, even a film by Lao Bai, this result is very amazing.
And the most gratifying thing is the change in the reputation of movie fans.
In the past, when the first...even the second part was released, there were many people who said that the movie was very good, but some people couldn't understand it. But this time, when the third part of "The Little Wizard" was released in Europe and the United States,
Although there are still a lot of people who can’t understand it, there are more viewers who are excited and say that the plot is exciting...
The Chinese wizard culture has been filmed with its own flavor by the filmmakers of Nanhai Pictures!
When this flavor first appeared, perhaps the arrogant European and American audiences were not used to it. They only watched it out of love or curiosity for the Harry Potter series. But as they gradually became accustomed to the Chinese style,
The Western core of the Little Wizards series allows them to easily understand the content of the story.
Those who clamor and don’t understand are nothing more than the skin of China.
Chapter completed!
