China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 144 Overseas Distribution

Although Chen Jingxing is the director, he is not involved in the promotional activities of "Signal" in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries. He has more important matters to deal with, so it is Luo Chen and Lei Jiayin who are going abroad to promote this time.

In fact, it was mainly Luochen.

After all, Luochen was also an idol cultivated by the Hallyu star-making industry. When the group he was in was at its peak, it had many fans in Japan.

Of course, the regular rotation of Korean idols has long been outdated after so many years, but "Fatal Identity" starring Luo Chen at the beginning of the year achieved good box office results in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries.

This is enough to stir up many people's memories.

In addition, "Fatal Identity" has also achieved great success in North America, which is equivalent to putting a golden halo on it. Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are very fond of this system.

After arranging release dates in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, distribution in Russia and other European countries was quickly put on the agenda.

At the same time, Columbia and Lionsgate Pictures immediately began preparations for distribution after returning to the United States.

This is a requirement of the agreement - DreamWorks explicitly added a clause in the copyright transaction agreement: starting from the sale of the North American copyright, it must be released in North American theaters within two months.

It is also the wish of Columbia and Lionsgate themselves.

With the release date in the Russian market finalized, China's National Day holiday has officially come to an end.

The lack of piracy of film and television works in North America has nothing to do with the moral standards of ordinary people. It is a matter of law and the management capabilities of major studios and distributors.

"Signal" not only dominated the domestic box office, but also won consecutive daily box office championships in Hong Kong Island, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand where it has already opened, with a cumulative box office of more than 40 million yuan.

More than a decade ago, the publisher had the guts to put the much-anticipated "Heroes" in Hollywood for nearly two years because the Internet was underdeveloped at that time and piracy could only exist in the form of discs. Naturally, there was no big deal under the perfect legal mechanism in North America.

Space for scale spread.

Especially the scene where Luochen was welcomed by fans during promotions in Japan, South Korea and Thailand made domestic netizens deeply moved.

"The White-Haired Witch" ranked second with 220 million, and this is basically the final box office placement. At most, it will add another 20 to 30 million.

The impact of the overseas box office is also secondary. As the leading actors, Luo Chen and Lei Jiayin, the overseas promotion releases are also on the hot search every day, stimulating the nerves of the Chinese people.

"Fatal Identity" has not reached the level where the audience can't wait to see it in advance - because after all, it is still a foreign movie, and North American audiences have always been proud and arrogant.

If you think about it, "Fatal Identity" has more than 5 million viewers in North America, and on the Netflix platform, the number of viewers (viewing accounts) of "Fatal Identity" has exceeded 14 million, ranking fifth on this year's movie viewing list.

.

And Japan, a big box office, will be released soon.

And now with the blessing of "Signal", China's next international superstar must be him.

Originally, with the breakup of stardom, the number of international movie stars in China was also cut off. Everyone was thinking about when China would produce another international star, or whether it would be possible.

First of all, Luo Chen's rise to international movie stardom is so fast that people can't react. The most important thing is that no one can smell the starlight and legend of the older generation of superstars in Luo Chen.

Moreover, "The Signal" has not only achieved amazing box office results in China, but will also be released in surrounding countries and regions soon, especially in South Korea. If it achieves good box office results again, it will definitely make waves in North America.

This is not inconsistent with the protection of intellectual property rights in the United States. The moral level of Americans is not much higher than that of other countries. We are all people on earth, and no one is nobler than the other.

"Fatal Identity" has also achieved outstanding results in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, ranking eighth in South Korea's box office list this year.

According to media predictions, the box office performance in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia is expected to challenge the US$50 million mark, which will become the highest box office for a Chinese-language film in the Asia-Pacific region in the past 10 years.

However, in addition to Luochen's fans, other ordinary netizens, entertainment media, and people in the industry all felt that it was a bit unpleasant, and even felt that it was wrong.

Columbia and Lionsgate absolutely cannot afford to take risks when they buy the copyright at such a high price, so it is also their desire to release it as soon as possible.

So Colombia didn't really need to worry about piracy at that time.

The results of the National Day box office war are out.

The problem of piracy can no longer be ignored.

The news from North America is that it can be released within a month, so "The Signal" can basically achieve the achievement of a large-scale release in major global markets within a month.

Unexpectedly, this candidate seems to have appeared?

"Signal" became the National Day box office champion with a cumulative total of 640 million.

The so-called now and then, for "Fatal Identity" at the beginning of the year, although Chen Jingxing has been blessed by "Comet" and the Orlando Gold Award in North America, the topicality of "Comet" is completely limited to the Internet, and it is only for young people.

Carnival, an Orlando Golden Award-winning movie, is released every year, but the mainstream market in North America has limited attention and expectations for it.

As a result, although "Signal" did not achieve the simultaneous global release that Chen Jingxing originally dreamed of, it achieved similar results.

Judging from these achievements alone, as a movie star, Luochen has definitely gained worldwide fame, no matter how famous he is, big or small, which is why so many international brands seek his endorsement.

Now that the Internet is quite developed, the difficulty of obtaining pirated movies and TV shows and the efficiency of dissemination have been greatly enhanced. The Korean piracy industry serves as a distribution center for network distribution. As long as you can connect to the Internet, all parts of the world can be affected by it, especially if you don’t have enough money.

Young people and students are no different from domestic Internet users. They have various ways to obtain pirated resources. Otherwise, if you like watching movies, watching dozens or hundreds of movies a year will definitely be looked down upon.

"Signal" is completely different, because of the huge box office success of "Fatal Identity" - for foreign movies, Chen Jingxing is no longer a nobody here, and many fans and young people are looking forward to his next project.

works.

It seems that everything comes too easily, just like the characters in Hollywood comic book blockbusters. Everyone may know them, and their fame is indeed known around the world, but it is inferior compared to the international superstars who are still active in Hollywood.

A lot of starlight and flavor, even if these comic book hero actors have better box office results.

Although this does not prevent Wu Tingxuan, Lu Han and other new generation traffic fans from feeling jealous, it does not prevent their fans from gnashing their teeth at Luo Chen, and it does not prevent Luo Chen's own fans from being happy and arrogant.

But most people still think Luochen is like an artificial movie star, a superstar artificially promoted.

And becoming such a superstar or an international movie star is so simple - as long as you act in Chen Jingxing's movies, if you can't make one, just two.
