Is it reasonable for me to build a space elevator when filming The Wandering Earth?

The craze caused by "The Wandering Earth" in North America was like a weather vane, and soon spread to European countries.

As world-class famous directors, Nolan and Cameron have no doubt in the hearts of fans around the world.

Many fans are curious about what kind of movie can get the attention of these two world-class directors.

To a certain extent, the heated discussion of "The Wandering Earth" by people from all walks of life in North America can be regarded as an advertisement for this film around the world.

In just one week, the weekly box office of "The Wandering Earth" in North America exceeded $80 million, setting a new box office record for many overseas films in North America.

Not only that, but the box office statistics of European countries have also been compiled one after another, and the staggering figure of up to 120 million euros is also shocking.

Unlike the single regional market in North America, European countries have large populations, complex countries, social structures, and religious beliefs.

The two countries with adjacent locations will also have great differences in the preference for the entertainment industry due to the difference in customs and customs. Not to mention film products as far away as East Asia.

Therefore, when the box office performance after its release in Europe and the United States was transmitted back to China, even domestic film critics who were optimistic about "The Wandering Earth" were completely shocked by its performance in overseas markets.

。

"How can there be such an exaggerated box office performance?

The overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" in a week is even more than the overseas box office of all the films released by Huayi in the past ten years combined!

Could it be that those foreigners like the genre of 'science fiction films'?"

Huayi's boss frowned in the office, puzzled.

"Magic City Fortress" lost in the competition with "The Wandering Earth", which he admitted, judging from the comparison of market feedback and special effects production, they are indeed inferior to others.

But "The Wandering Earth" can still kill all sides in the overseas market, which makes the boss of Huayi a little unacceptable.

You must know that Huayi, as the top brand in the domestic private film market, has been trying to lay out in the overseas market in recent years.

Various types of movies, police films, costume court films, action movies, martial arts films, war films, etc., have been tried, and many popular elements in overseas markets have been added, and even well-known overseas actors have been invited to join the show.

However, except for a few action movies that were watched by some overseas audiences because of curiosity and got hundreds of thousands, at most one or two million box office, almost none of the others had any repercussions and ended without a problem.

Once or twice, the boss of Huayi can still comfort himself that he didn't find the right type of theme, but it has been the same for ten consecutive years, and he has to start wondering if it is a problem with the Dragon Kingdom movie itself.

Gradually, many domestic filmmakers, including Huayi, no longer have any dreams of promoting Dragon Kingdom movies to the world.

Instead, it has vigorously developed a 'traffic star blockbuster' with a short production cycle, high cost performance, and a template to be found, which is harvesting domestic audiences quickly and accurately.

However, just when they had no way to 'go out' for domestic films and felt resigned to their fate, the overseas box office data of "The Wandering Earth" in the first week completely slapped them in the face.

This made the boss of Huayi, who has dominated the domestic film market for decades, unable to accept this reality for a while.

"Boss, it should be the influence of the Dragon Shadow channel, they have partners in more than 100 countries around the world, and all major theaters have to sell the face of Dragon Shadow, so "The Wandering Earth" can become popular in the overseas market so quickly...

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Mr. Huayi couldn't help frowning.

"You are as easy to deceive as those ghost audiences as those leek audiences in China?

"The Wandering Earth" has no well-known foreign actors, and second, it does not have the blessing of overseas famous directors, and even the original novel is written by the director himself.

If the quality is poor, can people buy it?!"

In fact, a few years ago, the boss of Huayi also cooperated with Long Ying with great ambition, and asked them to create a big production of kung fu films for the distribution company.

With the help of Dragon Shadow, major theaters in North America gave the support of nearly 1,000 theaters and opened at the same time.

However, the box office performance was really unsatisfactory, and the film schedule was cut out in just three days because the attendance rate was too low.

The overseas commercial film market is the most brutal capitalist system, as long as the audience is willing to spend money to buy tickets, you are filming a terrorist attack in North America, and the theater will still show it to you, but if the film is too bad and no audience buys it, even if it is to praise the United States, it will not give you a film.

So although the boss of Huayi is unhappy, he has to admit that the quality of "The Wandering Earth" in the eyes of audiences in overseas markets is definitely better than the various movies that their company once carefully produced.

As for his subordinates, who are so eyeless, attribute the success of "The Wandering Earth" in the overseas market to the Dragon Shadow Group, which makes the boss of Huayi very disappointed.

With all these rice buckets of waste, it's no wonder that the "Demon City Fortress" project lost so badly.

"Find me a reliable headhunting company, contact the assistant director of "The Wandering Earth", the one named Lin Hao, and ask him if he is interested in leaving Liu Lang and joining Huayi.

With an annual salary of 5 million, Huayi contributed resources and gave him the right to direct a 100 million investment scale film alone, by the way, make it clear to him that he wants a science fiction film!"

"As the boss of Huayi, although he is not responsible for specific film shooting matters, he is still keenly aware of the crisis brought about by the explosion of "The Wandering Earth".

The fire of "The Wandering Earth" will undoubtedly heat up the genre of domestic science fiction films, but most of the directors and film and television producers within Huayi are experts in comedy and romance films, but they don't know anything about science fiction films.

The fiasco of the "Magic City Fortress" project has made the boss of Huayi see clearly the unreliability of the company's internal production of the film genre of "science fiction".

So he can only find a way to poach talents from the outside.

He wanted to dig Liu Lang, but he also knew that it was impossible.

The strategic director of Byte Entertainment, stays by Liu Lang's side every day like an old mother, asking for money for money, and resources for resources, so he almost treats Liu Lang as Byte's own son, how can he pry into such a corner?

As the assistant director of "The Wandering Earth", Lin Hao has naturally become a professional about 'science fiction' in his eyes.

'Participated in the filming of "The Wandering Earth" throughout the process, this Lin Hao, how can I say that he has to have Liu Lang's three or four successful achievements in making science fiction films, right?'

Huayi's boss secretly thought that since science fiction genre films may be the trend of the future and perform well in overseas markets.

As the top brand of the domestic private film industry, Huayi naturally cannot be left behind.

Not only Huayi, when the performance of "The Wandering Earth" in the overseas market was worn back to China, a large number of domestic film and television institutions were in an uproar.
