Chapter 581 Pressure

Zhao Xin... Not only Zhao Xin, but also people in the circle, including the company, are very curious about what Shen Xudong is doing in the United States.

How did you manage to produce so many blockbuster movies so smoothly?

Is Hollywood that easy to mess around with?

"The movies I make are basically B-level movies that focus on sensory stimulation, or independent movies with novel stories... Such movies rely on the movie itself and don't require big stars... Therefore, there are a lot of actors who come to audition! There is a large number of actors in the United States Duikong has a good skin with a beautiful logo, no education, no way out in college, and dreams of becoming a star all day long...and they are very proactive..."

"Take the initiative? Just take off your clothes?"

"…almost…"

"Then how do you choose?"

"...I'll pick the one with the best skills..." Facing Zhao Xin's surprised look, Shen Xudong quickly changed his words: "I'm just kidding, usually I don't participate in this kind of casting..."

"...I never thought Hollywood would be such a mess!"

"Where is the chaos? They call these the rules of the game... If they don't want to, they don't have to be actors!"

"...Can you really control it?"

"Of course," Shen Xudong said righteously: "I always remember my identity. I am Chinese...I represent China..."

Zhao Xin glanced at him: "I believe you are a ghost!"

…

Megan Fox…

Shen Xudong knew this woman, and later she became Kardashian-style or San Fernando Valley-style...

A lot of domestic media always say that 'Kardashian's unique personal charm has made her style popular in European and American aesthetic circles.' You should really watch a few San Fernando Valley works. The actresses in them are like this. style!

As for why Megan Fox is confused?

After becoming popular, I was dissatisfied with being treated as a mere sexual fantasy object. I criticized director Michael Bay's style, saying that Michael was as cruel as Hitler...

Then it was blocked by Spielberg and Michael Bay.

Actually, it's not a ban, it's just that she is not allowed to appear in "Transformers".

But then it was Waterloo, Waterloo, Waterloo after Waterloo.

No big project is willing to sacrifice Spielberg's favor for an excellent substitute actor, so those willing to hire Megan are some B-level movies that sell meat or independent movies with worrying prospects for profitability.

In fact, celebrities are all the same. Once they become popular and have money, they start spending money!

Self-inflated, and eventually ended up in a situation where everyone was shouting and beating.

This is something to talk about later. If Zhao Xin really wants something to happen, then give him a whole trip to Hollywood - artistic exchange starts in Hollywood.

But now, it's unlikely!

She has become famous and is a global sex goddess. Although she is a vase, she is a valuable vase.

Popular female stars are never short of script offers.

"Transformers" is really popular...

Various box office records have been refreshed...

The premiere day is a Wednesday, which is neither a half-price movie viewing day nor a weekend, but this does not dampen everyone's enthusiasm for watching the movie.

The box office data is relatively intuitive:

In Shanghai, the more than 10 original English copies put into theaters were no longer enough, and the distributor had to rescue the original English copies that had been screened in Hong Kong and Singapore.

In Chengdu, a cinema specially rented a giant trailer and a crane to "stand guard" at the entrance, allowing the audience to truly be welcomed into the theater by "car people".

In BJ and Shenzhen, it is difficult to get a ticket for the midnight premiere. Many theaters have temporarily added shows, and pre-sale tickets are also in short supply in the next few days.

On July 11, it attracted 22.42 million yuan in a single day, setting a new opening day box office record in mainland movie history!

On July 16, it easily exceeded 100 million in five days, setting a new record for the fastest box office of an imported film to exceed 100 million...

On July 24, it surpassed 200 million yuan in 14 days, becoming the first overseas blockbuster to reach the "200 million yuan club" since data statistics began!

Both the film company Paramount and the distributor China Film Group Corporation are all amazed by the huge popularity of "Transformers"...

Shen Xudong owns theaters, and he knows very well - the newly opened BJ and the four Jiahe Cinemas in Shanghai - which were renovated after acquisition.

"Transformers" is the first Hollywood blockbuster since its opening!

The six screening halls were full, and the additional screenings were still full. Finally, for the first time, all the screenings in all halls were changed to showing "Transformers" to alleviate the "hard to get a ticket" situation.

On the second weekend of the release, the market was still very popular. At 11 o'clock in the morning, there were two long queues, each more than 20 meters long, with more than 100 people, all the way from the ticket office to the wall.

At 12 o'clock at noon, the ticket hall became even more lively. The long queue for ordinary ticket purchasers could no longer wait. They turned a 90-degree turn from the wall and began to queue sideways. The large electronic screen showed that there were three more performances of "Transformers" sold out…

Then what?

On July 17, the General Administration announced that July 20 to August 31 would be designated as the screening days for domestic films.

As a result, some so-called "defenders of domestic film protection" used the topic to repeat the scene in 1989 when the committee called for the banning of the animated version of "Transformers" - in 1989, a total of 5 articles about Transformers appeared in second-rate newspapers: Suggestions related to TV stations and publishing houses should stop broadcasting and publishing "Transformers". Departments that import "Transformers" toys should learn from this and strictly inspect imported toys.

Of course, things are different these days!

Next year is the Olympic Games. We are going global and integrating into the world...

Is it possible to ban Hollywood blockbusters just because you want to?

But...for a long time since then, the media have begun to "invariably" choose to remain silent. No one has reported the box office results of "Transformers" in the mainland, and TV stations' publicity reports and news content about "Transformers" have suddenly disappeared. No trace…

The most ridiculous thing is that some media outlets that have long maintained weekly box office lists have simply closed the window of information related to "Transformers". All of this has quickly become a hot topic among the public.

Obviously, the popularity of "Transformers" has made many people feel pressure...

After all... In addition to increasing box office figures, the work of the film bureau also has a red line: of the total box office for a year, domestic film box office must account for more than 50%, which is the so-called "50% red line."

And this year there are also "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", "The Bourne Supremacy", "Die Hard 4"...

Dunima is a box office bomb!

How is the original time and space made?

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was the first to bear the brunt. The planned grand premiere and visits from the main creative staff were all cancelled, and the number of copies released was also reduced to less than 400, which was 20% less than the expected release...

Next, the release dates of the highly anticipated "Die Hard 4" and the well-received "The Bourne Supremacy" became far away. In September and October, no decent overseas blockbusters were introduced - "National Treasure 2", "I Am Legend", and "Rush Hour 3" were not introduced...

On November 15th, "Die Hard 4" and "The Bourne Supremacy", which had already become outdated online, were released at the same time. After 15 days of hasty PK, they were both offline. The box office of the two blockbuster movies was only over 20 million. .

At this point, the 2007 overseas blockbuster introduction plan finally came to an end.

What is this called?

Strive to protect domestically produced films…

But from another perspective, as long as your domestic films gain popularity, do the film bureaus need to do this?

Don't they know they will be scolded by the audience if they do this?

However, this time there are Tianmei Media's "The Old Man" and "Blockbuster"...
