China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

"The story of Zhu Bajie and Zi Zhuer is so touching, why should it be deleted?"

Liu Yifei asked while sitting on a lounge chair by the swimming pool, wiping the water on her body with a towel.

She had just learned about Jiang Heng's publicity plan. After briefly listening to the love story between Zhu Bajie and Zi Zhuer, she thought it was pretty good, so she asked casually.

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "Of course it's because of the length of the film. You can't just do two parts at once. If you do it too many times, the audience will have a rebellious mentality!"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, "Just, that simple?"

"On one hand, the more important reason is that they are not the protagonists!"

"Not the protagonist?"

"Yes, Black Myth, Wukong! But Zhu Bajie's relationship scene is so brilliant. If added to it, it would easily overwhelm the show!"

Liu Yifei nodded slightly after hearing this, obviously agreeing with what Jiang Heng said.

She has been in the entertainment industry for many years. She is very sensitive to things like "stealing the show" and "taking the spotlight"!

Many well-known actors in the industry have their own dedicated screenwriters, which is unimaginable to many outsiders.

Why? Help the celebrities smooth out the plot and see where they can add drama and steal the show!

Therefore, some film and television dramas have garbage plots. It is not all the fault of the directors and screenwriters. Certain so-called celebrities also have to bear some responsibility.

Back to "Black Myth: Wukong", the plot of Zhu Bajie and Zi Zhuer has no problem in the game.

Because the game process is not a rush, it is possible to play the big-headed doll for two days without seeing the Tiger Pioneer!

This is not the case with the movie, which lasts just over two hours. The momentum of the entire movie lies in Sun Wukong's determination to be a jade in pieces rather than to be ruined, and would rather die than become a dog. The story of the man of destiny looking for the root weapon is also a one-stopping plot.

Jiang Heng didn't want the audience's attention and "empathy" to be diverted midway, so the film ended up like this!

At present, it seems that the audience still agrees with it because they don't know that this "love story" exists!

However, after the "risky leak" script was exposed, the direction of public opinion changed. A large number of female viewers posted messages expressing their interest in watching this love story and hoping that Jiang Heng could film "it" one day.

Some anti-fans also took the opportunity to post that Jiang Heng's movies always subconsciously avoid love, which should be related to the lack of love in his upbringing.

Jiang Heng's fans naturally quit after seeing this, and posted a retort, saying that Jiang Heng is handsome, famous, capable, wealthy and has a high status. The girls who like him can be queued from Beijing to Paris. He is short of love. Just kidding!

The anti-fan replied: "There are so many girls who like him, so why doesn't he find a girlfriend?"

The fan replied, "You don't have to worry about Director Jiang, he always has a girlfriend!"

"Which one? I'm more curious!"

"That's right, why hasn't it been officially announced?"

"This is not easy. Think about it, which A-list actress hasn't shown up recently!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire forum was about to "explode." Netizens spontaneously compiled the itineraries of several golden flowers from Aiyouteng Pictures and used the elimination method to determine Jiang Heng's mysterious girlfriend.

Jiang Heng, who was far abroad, didn't know that netizens were concerned about his emotional affairs. After getting tired of staying in the Maldives, he took Liu Yifei to Australia.

He has many luxury houses here, and there are not many people paying attention to him here, so he is very comfortable in his daily travels.

It’s now late August, and “Black Myth: Wukong” has also been released in the mainland market.

The total box office was fixed at 3.61 billion yuan, setting a new box office record in the mainland film market.

In overseas countries, "Black Myth: Wukong" has also achieved good box office results.

For example, in Little Days, perhaps because their national character itself is a bit dark, the film was a box office hit when it was released in Japan and was very popular.

Not only did it win the summer championship in the Japanese market, it also set a new box office record for foreign films in the Japanese market.

It can be said that except for the outrageous "Spirited Away", no one is the opponent of "Black Myth".

As for the Korean market, it is somewhat divided.

The film did very well at the box office and had a lot of moviegoers, but its reputation was somewhat unsatisfactory.

Because a large number of Korean netizens gave "Black Myth: Wukong" low scores on their domestic film review websites. The reason is also very simple. Those netizens feel that many elements and scenes in the film are Korean cultural heritage.

It is nonsense in the first place, but there are still many Korean netizens who agree with it, which is quite speechless.

In the world's largest North American market, the performance of "Black Myth: Wukong" is not bad. The film finally grossed 413 million US dollars, ranking behind "The Dark Knight Rises". In 2012, it basically ranked No. 1 in the North American market. Three.

By the way, the protagonists of these two films are one who is a "superhero" in the hearts of Chinese people, and the other is a superhero in the hearts of Americans.

"Black Myth: Wukong" grossed 3.61 billion yuan in the mainland market, which is 570 million yuan converted into US dollars.

Xiangjiang and Baodao together have more than 20 million US dollars. Coupled with the 413 million in North America, the total box office of "Black Myth" in the Chinese and American film markets has exceeded one billion US dollars.

In comparison, "The Dark Knight Rises" is slightly inferior. The mainland box office is only more than 300 million US dollars. The total box office of the two major movie markets in China and the United States combined is just over 600 million US dollars. There is a huge difference.

The real rival of "Black Myth: Wukong" this year is "Avengers", which earned 623 million in the North American market and 1.519 billion US dollars worldwide.

However, the box office of the film in the mainland was only 579 million, and the total box office of the Chinese and American film markets was less than 700 million US dollars, which is too far behind.

Therefore, the global box office champion in 2012 was still "Black Myth: Wukong".

Some media have published this conclusion, but the global box office summary of the film is not very timely, so there is no exact data for the time being.

"Director Jiang, the global total box office statistics are out, 2.19 billion US dollars!" Yu Dong called again, very excited.

Because this result is really rare, especially after 3D movies became popular and the audience became accustomed to many visual scenes, there are very few movies that can exceed 1 billion in global box office every year, let alone 2 billion US dollars!

Jiang Heng was also very excited after hearing this. He didn't expect "Black Myth" to be so popular. It seems that after everyone gets used to the shocking "visual effects scenes", they prefer to watch some movies that reveal human nature!

"It's really good. I didn't expect everyone to like it so much!"

Yu Dong said with a chuckle: "It's mainly because the plot and characters are so profound. Especially after the relevant plots of 'Pansiling' and 'Huoyan Mountain' were released, the fans discussed it so lively that it was on several hot searches!

The single-day box office was declining rapidly at that time, but it rose again. I have to say that Director Jiang's idea is really good!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Not really, it's mainly because of the audience's support, and your publicity and promotion are also good!"

Yu Dong laughed and agreed with what Jiang Heng said.

He then gave a time, indicating that the celebration banquet was ready and they were just waiting for Jiang Heng to "return as the king"! (End of this chapter)
