The Director of Music Department

Eight hundred and thirty-eight. Premiere day

In fact, if a different director were to film "Monkey King", the comments from the outside world would probably be different.

But Wang Yifan was different.

He is now the number one director of Chinese films.

Of course, this is mainly in the category of commercial films.

And backed by Huaxin, which already has the largest privately-owned film and television group in China, plus several others, it can be said that they owe Wang Yifan's favor more or less. "Holy" monopolizes the schedule, so there are fewer conflicts of interest, so naturally no one will go to discredit Wang Yifan's movie without a good eye.

And Wang Yifan has always had a very good relationship with the media, so the public opinion can be said to be very good for "The Monkey King".

As for the island country, this time because "Monkey King" is a co-production between China and the island country, it can be released simultaneously in both countries.

Because the "Midnight Ring" filmed by Wang Yifan earlier set off a horror craze. In the past year or so, it can be said that horror movies in the island country have sprung up like mushrooms. There are also some boutiques appearing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Yifan saved the island nation's precarious live-action movie with his own efforts.

Moreover, Wang Yifan has a large number of fans in the island country. Unlike the mainland, the island country is a country that worships the strong.

And it's a very bare-bones kind, especially Wang Yifan is the pride of the whole of Asia, and the name of the Light of Asia was first called out by the island country.

And his achievements can be said to be unparalleled in the Asian film and television industry. For this reason, Wang Yifan is naturally extremely popular in the island country.

In addition, "Monkey King" is a co-production film, with the strong support of Toei and Matsumoto Group, so the popularity is even higher than that in China.

Island country movies or Bangzi country movies are actually due to market reasons, so it is almost impossible for them to really invest in large-scale productions. For this reason, special effects blockbusters like "The Monkey King" are still Chinese and Asian special effects blockbusters. , For them, they are naturally regarded as "one of their own"!

The result is that "Monkey King" has become popular even before it was released in the island country.

The most intuitive impact is that there is a rush to buy works about "Journey to the West" in the island country, and the peripherals and so on.

Under such circumstances, "Monkey King" is officially released globally simultaneously!

Well, in fact, that is to say, the Asian region is regarded as synchronous. Although North America and Europe have also been released, the scale of the release is very small. How many movies with this kind of Chinese traditional cultural elements can actually be seen in Europe and the United States? The audience is really hard to tell.

After all, don't look at Lao Mei exporting culture to the outside world all day long, but in fact, if you expect Lao Mei's audience to really understand movies like "The Monkey King", you still overestimate them.

Of course, it can also be said that this is the result of cultural output.

Why are many people familiar with many things in North America?

For example, FBI, CIA, Broadway, etc., many people may not find it strange.

But in fact, if you ask an ordinary person, if you tell him about the FBI in North America, they may not know much about it, but at least they have heard of it, and they are even familiar with it. It is a law enforcement agency in North America, Barabara. Anyway, it's great.

But if you ask about other countries, you may not be so clear.

Don't underestimate these things. In fact, these things themselves are the epitome of the cultural output of Hollywood movies.

The "superhero" series of movies in North America have always instilled in people the concept that "North America is the world's hegemon", repeating the previous world pattern of "one superpower and many powers". When watching the film, young people who are keen on cool visual effects may only notice the awe-inspiring justice of the superheroes when they save the world, but ignore their acquiescing to the tough view that "only North American superheroes can save the world".

So Hollywood movies, they are often not worried that foreigners can't understand, but domestic movies need to be exported step by step. You tell them the myths and systems of Huaguo as soon as you come up, and they can understand it. Out of hell.

After all, English is required for the college entrance examination in Huaguo, but Chinese is not required for North American examinations.

It can be said that they are exporting their ideas and concepts to the outside world, using movies to let the world subtly accept their ideas, but at the same time, they are actually very conservative internally.

This forms a natural cultural barrier.

It is common for Hollywood movies to sell well abroad, but it is rare for foreign movies to sell well in North America. Is it really because the movies are not good enough?

It's really not, but Hollywood movies have broken cultural barriers, but the cultural output of other countries is far from enough, so the barriers cannot be broken, and they can't even be understood. How can a movie be good or bad?

Closer to home.

On the first day of its release, "The Monkey King" had an unprecedented 80% of the film schedule in China.

It can be said that this number has not happened in the domestic film market for many years.

It probably dates back to the 1980s and 1990s, when domestic films were scarce.

Of course, it is also a kind of affirmation of Wang Yifan that "The Monkey King" can obtain such a large-scale and unprecedented film schedule.

Unlike many directors, Wang Yifan really accumulated his achievements through one movie.

Of course, the unprecedented film arrangement does not mean that there are no harms.

Actually, you really can't say that.

Because, a super-large-scale film schedule cannot last long, and this is also a test of the promotion and quality of the film.

After all, for such a large-scale filming, there must be enough box office support, otherwise, why give you such a large filming.

At the same time, there needs to be enough publicity to let enough people know about the movie, attract enough people, and buy tickets to watch the movie immediately.

It can be said that the film's box office potential has exploded ahead of schedule.

The box office of "The Monkey King" did not disappoint on the first day of its release. Everyone was dumbfounded when it won the box office of 420 million on the first day.

"The Monkey King" also created a record, the single-day box office record for Huaguo movies, and it was directly raised to a figure of 420 million that made latecomers desperate!

Although this has a lot to do with the super film schedule of "The Monkey King", no one can deny that such a result can not only be achieved by a high film schedule.

What is the concept of 420 million?

We must know that most of the current domestic movies can cheer for more than 100 million, and for those that can exceed this number, it is already very good to have 20 movies a year.

But this is just the box office of "Monkey King" in one day.

Of course, this box office is not reproducible, because it is really difficult to find a movie with such a schedule in China.
