Superstar Couple

Chapter 415 No longer alone

"National Day" is still in theaters, but although the box office of this film cannot break the previous record set by Zhang Le, it is absolutely amazing. The film market will also be affected by this film.

The movie was released in early October, and because of its continuity, there is no problem with it being released for more than a month. It is estimated that the painting will be completed in mid-November, and there is still more than a month before the Christmas schedule. But for more than a month, no one has given an accurate answer on whether China's film market has recovered.

No one wants to take this risk.

After a movie with an amazing box office is released, the box office of subsequent movies will definitely be affected. As for how long the impact will be, it will undoubtedly have something to do with its box office. With the box office of the movie "National Day" and the box office trends of other movies, no one can be sure how long the box office vacuum will appear in the Chinese movie market. After all, the Chinese film market has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, but it has not shown any regularity.

The potential of the film market is affected by economic development, but not only by this. What's more, it is Huaxia, a very individual film market.

The Christmas file is also considered a good time, especially in China, there will be many discounts and promotions during Christmas, which makes the festive atmosphere much stronger, and movie fans will naturally be affected. What's more, New Year's Day is just a few days after Christmas, and the gap between the two holidays is still very large.

Of course, compared with the traditional Chinese festival of Spring Festival, this schedule is still quite different. Even the number of days off is incomparable, let alone the festive atmosphere.

For all kinds of reasons, both the crew of "Wolf Warrior" and the crew of "Men in Black" hope to put the schedule in the Spring Festival.

A good schedule will naturally affect the box office of the movie, there is no doubt about it.

When the matter came to Zhang Le, it was natural that Zhang Le had to make a decision.

Zhang Le seldom participates in the management of the company, but he has great authority in the company. This authority is not because he is the boss, but everyone in Xinle Film and Television knows that the company's current development is due to Zhang Le and Zhang Le's movies.

"Does the company's top management plan to let "Men in Black" be released first?" Zhang Le looked to ask the person in charge of his company when he came to the crew.

The person in charge was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slightly, and then said: "The company's senior management has some differences, but most of them think that it is more beneficial for the company to release "Men in Black" first, and "Men in Black" will also be released overseas on Christmas. It will be released during the period. It will be released simultaneously around the world. After all, there is a gimmick, and it can be used as a topic of publicity. Relatively speaking, "Wolf Warrior" is much weaker in internationalization. It is more suitable for such a movie to be released when the atmosphere of Chinese festivals is strong. .”

Zhang Le nodded. The reason why he guessed such a result was that under the same conditions, the company's top management would definitely support "Men in Black". The director is Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao is Zhang Le's best friend, and he is much more famous than the director of "Wolf Warrior". At least he has a lot of good film works. And Liu Meng, the director of "Wolf Warrior", used to shoot TV series.

Of course, it was mainly because of the relationship between Tang Xiao and Zhang Le.

Zhang Le has watched both "Wolf Warrior" and "Men in Black". The two movies can't be said to be better, after all, the genres are different. However, both films achieved the effect Zhang Le wanted.

"Wolf Warrior" is a military-themed movie, so it is naturally impossible for it to be as popular with foreign fans as science fiction movies. Moreover, the military movies of Great China have extremely strong characteristics, which are not very popular in the world.

Although, because of Zhang Le's military background, "Wolf Warrior" is much larger in scale than that of his previous life, it can even be said to be doubled, but compared with those foreign military-themed movies, it is indeed not as good. Also, the film itself is limited by its setting. It doesn't directly put it on the battlefield like a Hollywood military movie.

The background of the movie is not on the battlefield, and no matter how large it is, it will not go anywhere.

But "Men in Black" is different. The movie itself is adapted from a previous Hollywood movie, and it has strong Western characteristics. No matter in terms of genre or content, "Men in Black" is more international than "Wolf Warrior".

As for the topic of making use of the gimmick of simultaneous global release that the person in charge said, this is undoubtedly a good way of publicity.

Now in China, except for Zhang Le's films which are almost released globally simultaneously, it is very difficult for the rest of the films to be released globally simultaneously. If it can be released globally simultaneously, it will undoubtedly give people a very awesome feeling.

"Then let "Men in Black" be released first!" Zhang Le said afterward.

"Where is Director Tang?" The person in charge asked tentatively. He didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Le naturally understood what he wanted to express.

"Huh?" Zhang Le frowned, and then asked, "Did Tang Xiao participate in the fight for the schedule?"

"Oh, that's not it." The person in charge said awkwardly.

"Go!" Zhang Le waved. The meaning is self-evident, since he didn't participate, there is no need for him to explain anything, not to mention that Zhang Le didn't believe that Tang Xiao would participate in such a thing.

Tang Xiao is Zhang Le's best friend, but he doesn't do anything domineering in the company, and even beat Feng Lei to make him abide by the company's rules.

In a sense, Feng Lei created trouble for Zhang Le in the company, while Tang Xiao did the opposite.

Of course, although Feng Lei has specializations in the company from time to time, those are harmless and really involve the authority of the company. Feng Lei is much better than those entertainers who play big names.

Of course, in Xinle Film and Television, almost no artist dares to play big names. In the past, there was a big star who signed a contract and thought he was great. Zhang Le found out about his big tricks a few times, and told him to leave without letting out any rumors that he would be banned. But now that person has disappeared from the entertainment industry.

Zhang Le can't suppress him, but the entertainment industry is so big, knowing that he offended Zhang Le, there are fewer and fewer people who associate with him. This is enough to gold Zhang Le's influence in the circle.

Regarding the release of "Men in Black" on Christmas, Tang Xiao naturally wouldn't say anything, let alone have any dissatisfaction. He cleared that he didn't have Zhang Le's ability to promote, and he didn't have a clear understanding of the movie's release at all.

Zhang Le is filming his new film, and the company has also increased its publicity for "Men in Black".

In mid-November, "National Day" was released, and the global box office statistics came out. Although Zhang Le's previous record was not broken, the box office was still amazing. The domestic box office reached 2.7 billion, equivalent to nearly 400 million U.S. dollars. The box office in North America was nearly 500 million, and the box office in Europe and Southeast Asia totaled more than 500 million US dollars. The overseas box office is nearly one billion U.S. dollars, and the global ticket sales are nearly 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to nearly 10 billion Chinese dollars.

Zhang Le once again demonstrated his unparalleled dominance at the box office. Today, it is estimated that no director in the world dares to say that he can surpass Zhang Le in the total box office. Now Zhang Le's global box office has opened up a big distance from the second place.

Perhaps there are some major international commercial directors whose films do not lose much to Zhang Le in terms of box office, but Zhang Le is far behind in terms of output.

There is no doubt that Xinle Film and Television made a lot of money again with Zhang Le's movie. But after "Men in Black" and other movies were released, everyone suddenly discovered that Xinle Film and Television is no longer supported by Zhang Le alone.

This support is not only in China, but also internationally.

No one expected that "Men in Black" directed by Tang Xiao would achieve such great success internationally, nor did they expect that foreign movie fans would love "Men in Black" so much.
