1083. Everything is traceable
Wang Yifan himself has made A-level productions in North America and has achieved extremely high achievements.
"Mad Max: The Furious Road" has given Wang Yifan a lot of fans in North America.
What does this mean?
This shows that Wang Yifan has the same unique vision for the North American market.
So how could he not know that Infernal Affairs would be unacceptable to the local conditions in North America?
Moreover, Huaxin itself actually has distribution channels in North America, and Wang Yifan himself can also be related to several major giants in North America.
Wang Yifan himself also collaborated with several giants on the masterpiece "Titanic".
So, if "Infernal Affairs" is really favored by him, then how could he give it to Ah Li? It's like consulting the enemy.
Therefore, there is only one answer. Wang Yifan had long known that "Infernal Affairs" is only suitable for domestic audiences and not North America.
Although Ali took the initiative to give it to Ali, it is not ruled out that Wang Yifan is actually digging a hole for Ali!
Afterwards, no one thought that before this kind of thing happened, but if it really happened, it would be terrible to think about it carefully.
No words all night, or not sleep all night!
Chen Qingyun and Chen Dahua are actually better. "Infernal Affairs" is not suitable for North America, and it actually has no big impact on them.
At most everything is the same, and the domestic "Infernal Affairs" is indeed a big hit.
Therefore, they were naturally not as anxious as those on Cao Meng and Ali.
But for Cao Meng, the failure of "Infernal Affairs" will have a great impact on him.
Because, he had indeed become inflated before, and even persuaded Wang Yifan to help promote in North America, his tone was inevitably a bit strange.
If "Infernal Affairs" becomes in North America, then Cao Meng naturally doesn't need to be angry and flattering to Wang Yifan like he did in the past.
Because at that time, Cao Meng was already an international famous director.
No worries about scripts or big productions.
But what about now?
"Infernal Affairs" is likely to fail, so he will be embarrassed.
Who is Wang Yifan? You are still your uncle.
It’s not that Cao Meng can’t hold that face down, but that it’s a question of whether others are willing to accept it.
Because Cao Meng had expanded before.
I thought it was clear and the rain stopped. I could do it again. What happened now?
Haha!
I won’t say that I’m embarrassed.
The key is that there is a great situation in China, and it is very likely that it will be over again, but it will definitely have a great impact.
Because before, you can also say that the screenwriter Wang Yifan did not play the greatest role. It was Cao Meng's contribution to the success of "Infernal Affairs".
Because this is a Hong Kong film, can ordinary people shoot it?
Only Hong Kong film directors can make it, so the story of "Infernal Affairs" is indeed wonderful, but the more powerful one is director Cao Meng.
But this time, it's different.
Cao Meng boasted about Haikou, Ali boasted about Haikou, but in the end, "Infernal Affairs" failed.
But it is true that Hollywood film companies like the script of "Infernal Affairs".
So what does that mean?
It shows that people think that the script is awesome, not the movie is awesome.
Remember that's a big difference.
Because Cao Meng is the director, and Wang Yifan is the screenwriter.
Coupled with the failure in North America, Cao Meng led the main creator to rush over and sent a press release before.
But what about Wang Yifan?
I sat firmly on Diaoyutai and had no plans to go.
The result is clear at a glance.
Wang Yifan's vision is as unique as ever, and Cao Meng?
Just a younger brother!
According to the scale of "Infernal Affairs" in North America, 500 screen paintings are opened.
If the attendance rate and reputation are good, then it is naturally no problem to increase the schedule of the film in the future.
But if the attendance rate is not good, then 500 screens will be the limit.
Ali Media’s foundation in North America is not as deep as it can directly break the rules.
Imperial Cinemas will definitely not break this rule.
Therefore, Cao Meng almost no longer has hope.
Of course, despite this, I will inevitably feel lucky.
Perhaps the fans at the premiere just don’t like this type of movie?
After all, the movie box office has not yet come out, right?
People are always unwilling to admit failure, and they always make various excuses for themselves before the results come out.
Cao Meng is no exception.
After all, the reputation of the film critics and media of "Infernal Affairs" is quite good, right?
The same is true for Ali Media. They are not as pessimistic as Cao Meng. Instead, they think it is normal for the audience to react not to be enthusiastic.
After all, those fans themselves are specific groups.
Time passes by minute by minute.
In a blink of an eye, the next day was when the box office statistics were released on the first day.
Cao Meng immediately arrived at the North American station of Ali Film and Television Distribution Company.
"Has the box office statistics been released?" Cao Meng asked immediately.
Arenas, the North American head of Ali Film and Television Distribution Company, sighed and took out a report and handed it to Cao Meng.
When I saw the box office, Cao Meng's face naturally didn't look good!
1.63 million!
Yes, the box office on the first day was only $1.63 million!
The box office of a single museum is only more than 3,000 US dollars.
Such results may be considered better than the performance of other domestic films in North America.
But you should know that the promotion and promotion of "Infernal Affairs" in North America was done by Ali Media to do its best.
The early previews and other promotions are all very in place.
It also spent millions of dollars to hold a grand premiere.
What happened? The box office on the first day was only more than one million US dollars.
Arenas sighed and said, "The attendance rate is not high, and this is because the attendance rate in the Chinese community is relatively high, and the result is evenly distributed."
"What about reputation? How is reputation?" This is Cao Meng's last life-saving straw.
"Reputation of reputation is surprisingly good?" Arenas's face was also a little strange.
"Oh?" Cao Meng's eyes lit up immediately.
"I'm talking about the audience's reputation." Cao Meng asked with a frown again.
Arenas also nodded and said, "What I'm talking about is also the reputation of the audience."
"This... Since the audience's reputation is good, why is the box office..." Cao Meng didn't understand.
But Arenas said: "Yes, this is a bit abnormal, but it is actually normal. Because "Infernal Affairs" is a Chinese movie."
"What does it mean?" Cao Meng was a little confused.
"Let's put it this way, first of all, the release scale of "Infernal Affairs" is not large, so the number of viewers is relatively limited."
Chapter completed!
