China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The traditional North American summer movie season starts from Memorial Day at the end of May.

But as competition becomes increasingly fierce, many companies will move their own films to early May for early release.

Therefore, the North American summer season has become a super season with a time span of four months, and the box office generated often reaches half of the annual box office.

The fierce competition is conceivable.

Therefore, the attitude of Hollywood companies towards "Little Soldier Legend" is very vigilant.

Not to mention Jiang Heng's past achievements, the production cost of 500 million US dollars alone is a gimmicky publicity point.

Not to mention science fiction themes, which are already popular categories in the North American market, plus 3D movies are in a hot period at the moment, so the North American premiere of "Little Soldier Legend" is extremely popular, and Hollywood media also basically give positive comments.

The other film and television companies knew the release date of "Little Soldier Legend" and gave it up early.

After all, even if it is a blockbuster like "Avatar", "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "Spider-Man", there is no need to release it on the same day as a special effects blockbuster with a production cost of up to 500 million US dollars.

Moreover, the blockbusters released in North America this summer are not so confident!

If Hollywood holds the idea of ​​being the best in the world and is restrained in its comments on the premiere of "Little Soldier Saga".

Then the comments of major media in the old capitalist power of Britain after the premiere of "Little Soldier Saga" can only be described as fanatical.

The Sun commented on the film: This is the most dazzling movie in the past decade, and the last battle is 20 minutes long, which makes people's blood boil.

But it seems to have forgotten that less than a year ago, it also commented on "Avatar" in this way!

"Empire" magazine gave "Little Soldier Saga" a full score of 5 stars: This is an epoch-making film that reinterprets the space war. If the visual effects of the "Star Wars" series are not upgraded, it will not be able to continue filming.

The Guardian: "Little Soldier Legend" will not make you uncomfortable. The details are so real, as if there is really such a training camp, and there are such a group of robot instructors, who train the protagonist who strayed into it into an unprecedented super-powerful warrior, which makes every audience who watches the movie get unprecedented excitement.

...

In addition, the media in several countries where "Little Soldier Legend" held its premiere promotion almost all reported positively on the film, and the box office was booming right now.

Time soon came to February 9th. Since Bona Pictures did not have a midnight show, the audience had to wait until 8 or 9 in the morning to see the first show at the earliest.

In Beijing, at the Wukesong store of China Film Red Cinema, some audiences came to line up with stools at more than 7 o'clock in the morning and found that there was already a long queue at the entrance of the theater.

Later, I couldn't help but sigh, "This is too popular!"

"Director Jiang's film, you must watch it!"

"That's right, no matter how much you spend, it's definitely worth the price!"

A reporter who came early interviewed an old man and said, "I heard that the premiere tickets of this movie were sold for more than 3,000 yuan each. Do you think it's really worth the price?"

The old man in Beijing said, "It's definitely worth it. I tell you, the viewing effect of the premiere is the best. It can't be compared with the IMAX screenings during the public release. There are so many stars watching in the same theater with you. It's worth it even if it's more expensive!"

"Then are you queuing up now?"

"Hey, I didn't get the premiere tickets. I'm not short of money, I really didn't buy them. I have no choice but to come here early in the morning to queue up and buy them!"

The reporter laughed when he heard this. Just take what he said as true!

However, it is true that there are long queues in theaters in popular commercial areas. Except for those more remote theaters, most other places are hard to get tickets.

When the first film was officially released, the long-awaited fans finally saw the true face of the legendary 500 million US dollar investment blockbuster, and most of them were shocked beyond words.

In fact, many viewers have seen Hollywood space science fiction blockbusters, or "The Three-Body Problem", but no film's special effects can match "The Legend of the Little Soldier".

The "Star Wars" series of films is indeed a classic, but it has to be said that it is really too old. When the film was first released, it was really shocking, but when I watched it again and thought about it in 2010, it was really a bit outdated.

"The Three-Body Problem" is indeed a classic, and the special effects are also outstanding, but most of the plot of the film takes place on Earth, and the visual effects are also incomparable to "The Legend of the Little Soldier".

As for Jiang Heng's previous classic, the world's first 3D special effects blockbuster "Havoc in Heaven", the visual effects are indeed very outstanding, but because of the different types, the audience does not have too much comparison.

Therefore, as soon as "Legend of the Little Soldier" was released, it was rated by countless fans as the No. 1 Chinese commercial blockbuster and the No. 1 special effects blockbuster.

The score on Douban is as high as 9.1, which is a very dazzling result, even surpassing many art films with good reputation.

The reason why fans gave high scores is very simple, that is, the plot of this film is smooth, the visual effects are explosive, and it is the special effects blockbuster with the best visual effects in history, which is enough.

Of course, there are also some fans who criticize the film for its lack of depth and the flat plot, but they are criticized by fans without exception.

Under this circumstance, the first-day box office of "Legend of the Little Soldier" reached an extremely shocking number.

179 million RMB!

Friday, a single day!

Once the report was published, the audience's first reaction was that they couldn't believe it. The box office of 179 million RMB, many films with high investment costs can't achieve this result even after being released!

If the first day is so high, how much will the final box office be?

In terms of global box office, there is a high probability that it will exceed "Avatar"!

The news was broadcast on the "News Network" on the night the results were released, and it was repeatedly broadcast on CCTV News Channel the next day. The audience who didn't want to watch it at first also knew that the box office results of this film were amazing.

"News Network" reported it, so it's impossible not to believe it!

On the 10th, Saturday and Sunday, the single-day box office jumped to 193 million RMB.

On the 11th, Sunday, 185 million RMB.

The mainland market took 557 million in the first three days of Sunday, and the box office results were so high that they exceeded many people's imagination.

The investment of 500 million US dollars did not seem to be in vain, and the box office results were really amazing!

What is even more terrifying is that with the widespread coverage of CCTV and major media, and word of mouth from many "tap water" viewers, "Legend of the Little Soldier" continues to be released with a very slight box office decline, constantly refreshing the box office chances in the mainland.

In the North American market, "Legend of the Little Soldier" also achieved an extremely high score of 127 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend, firmly ranking first in the weekly box office. Looking at the current box office trend, I am afraid it will sit on the throne of weekly champion for a while.

As for the markets in Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries, "Legend of the Little Soldier" has triggered a viewing craze.

After all, the visual effects are explosive, and the plot is easy to understand, there is no obstacle to watching the movie!
