My movie scared the global audience to tears

In the past two years, Song Qi has not made a new movie or updated Weibo, and the same is true for An Qin.

They disappeared together after "The Mummy" was released two years ago.

However, from time to time, netizens post photos and videos claiming to have seen Song Qi and An Qin, and the people in those photos and videos are indeed them.

But they appear in different places every time, sometimes abroad, sometimes at home, sometimes in first-tier cities, and sometimes in remote areas.

Based on the photos and videos, netizens can basically infer that the two people should have gone out to play.

But these two guys are too playful, right? They’ve been playing for two years and still haven’t gotten enough of it?

Movies are no longer being filmed? Plays are no longer performed?

Fans are still waiting to see!

In the past two years, the film market has experienced a wave of growth, both domestically and abroad.

In addition to the good economic situation, the continuous emergence of excellent films is also the main factor stimulating the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies.

However, most of the excellent works that have emerged are from other types of movies. There have been many horror movies, but there are not many high-quality ones. Most of them are bad movies that follow the trend.

And even those few high-quality movies are all about zombies and zombies, which makes the audience a little tired of watching them.

During this period, the overseas market was also booming for a period of time, with many globally distributed movies appearing.

To some extent, this was also influenced by Song Qi.

Two years ago, Song Qi's "The Mummy" grossed more than 30 billion in box office in the global market, shocking the film circles of various countries and deeply stimulating film creators in various countries.

It turns out it’s so easy to make money as a foreigner!

Countless film and television companies have begun investing in the production of movies that will be released simultaneously around the world, hoping to make a lot of money.

Everyone thinks very well. Song Qi can get more than 30 billion in box office, and he doesn't ask for more. He only needs more than 10 billion.

But in the past two years, not even one movie that has launched a global model has exceeded 5 billion in box office.

Most film and television companies, let alone making money, actually suffered a loss.

Most people think about the global release of the film simply, thinking that if you have a good enough script, find a beautiful actress as a vase, and use special effects to pile up some pictures, you can make money like "The Mummy".

But in the end, the cold box office data woke them up.

Audiences in various countries do not buy it, and even directors who are successful at home may fail overseas.

Many film and television companies will find after statistical data that some well-known directors can still maintain a good domestic box office figure after their works are released globally, but their overseas box office is not high, or even not as good as that of some less famous directors.

director.

Only works shot by a few talented directors and films starring well-known actors can achieve good box office in markets around the world.

This shows that foreign audiences are not that familiar with the directors of Daxia. They only recognize the top group of people, let alone the film and television companies.

Ordinary directors and actors have little ability to attract money in the international market. If you want to make money in overseas markets, you still have to rely on the old model of famous directors, famous actors, and large investments.

But isn’t that just back to square one?

In the past, big-budget movies like this would be released overseas!

Overseas distributors will spend money to buy the copyright of the movie, and then promote and release it in their own country. The film and television company only needs to wait for a share, saving worry and effort.

Now we have this kind of global distribution model, which is a thankless effort. We spend a lot of money on promotion, but the box office may not go up. Isn't this a waste of time and money?

However, many film and television companies are not willing to accept failure, and have come up with the idea of ​​​​creating tricks in the publicity model.

A considerable part of the reason for the success of "The Mummy" is that before the movie was released, Miracle Pictures launched a huge wave of publicity around the world.

After the mummy incident, "The Mummy" attracted the attention of netizens around the world.

Miracle Pictures cleverly used a treasure hunt activity and hundreds of millions of bonuses to divert the dissatisfaction of netizens, setting off a greater wave of promotion for the movie, and successfully attracted the attention and heated discussion of audiences around the world.

A company has calculated that without this wave of brilliant marketing, the box office of "The Mummy" would never have been as high as it was, only 20 billion at most.

In other words, this wave of publicity has increased the box office revenue of "The Mummy" by tens of billions!

As a result, film and television companies used various tricks and started all kinds of gaudy publicity.

Some companies also followed Song Qi's lead and launched a treasure hunt, also using 100 million as a prize, but the attention and discussion it aroused was far less than that of "The Mummy".

Moreover, after the event, the bonuses were distributed, and the movie box office was completely wiped out.

Some film and television companies have also thought of other methods, such as holding signature events and drawing lottery tickets for movie tickets, but the effect is still not very satisfactory.

At this time, the film and television companies finally realized that the overseas market had not changed. It was just Song Qi's outstanding performance that made everyone think that the overseas market was easy to make money.

So many movies failed, making Song Qi's success even more precious.

Many people can't understand why Song Qi doesn't strike while the iron is hot and make more movies to consolidate his position?

The reason is simple, Song Qi is already having fun.

…

In early June, the weather in Qiongnan Province was already very hot.

Nanya City is located on the southern coast of Qiongnan Province. It is a city mainly focused on coastal tourism.

At the southernmost tip of Nanya City, there is a fishing village called Houhai Village.

This village with a permanent population of less than 3,000 people is home to nearly 40% of the country’s surf clubs, and is known as the largest surf village in Daxia.

Affected by the tropical monsoon climate, the bay where Houhai Village is located can receive southeasterly winds from March to October every year, making Houhai Village Bay one of the few high-quality wave spots in Daxia.

The temperature here is moderate, the water temperature is suitable, and the waves are small and gentle. It is a paradise for beginners like Song Qi and An Qin to learn to surf.

Song Qi and An Qin came to Nanya City in early March and have been here for three months.

In the past two years, Song Qi and An Qin have enjoyed traveling around the world and lived a fulfilling life.

They went to the Inca Republic, personally drove their yacht upstream, and crossed the longest river in the world.

They also went to the Principality of Europa, hiked through the Abbes Mountains, and reached Mount Braun.

They also went to the Free Commonwealth and took a hot air balloon ride over the Grand Canyon.

During this period, both Song Qi and An Qin learned to drive yachts, fly hot air balloons, and helicopters, and also obtained corresponding driver's licenses.

This time they came to Nanya City to learn surfing and diving.

They plan to obtain the Master Diver Certificate before leaving.
