Chapter 419 There are many people who think like you(1/2)
Regardless of whether Chinese movie fans will boycott "Titanic" because of this, this reporter gave Zhang Yu and others a warning.
Have to guard against it.
And you need to prepare in advance.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
Is it possible for "Titanic" to break the box office record of "Avatar"?
This is really hard to say.
But regardless of whether it was possible or not, Zhang Yu felt that he should try his best.
Just because "Avatar" is a Chinese-language movie, we shouldn't have any scruples about it.
"How would you feel if "Titanic" broke the box office record of "Avatar" and topped the global box office chart?" The reporter continued the question, "Will you make another Chinese-language movie to top the global box office chart?
Get your position back?"
"Records are not meant to be broken." Zhang Yu said, "If "Titanic" can break the box office record of "Avatar", then I will naturally be happy! After all, they are all my movies, which proves that I am constantly making progress."
Surpass yourself. As for whether you can break it, I'll give you a good word."
"If it is broken, will you make another Chinese-language movie and top the global box office list..." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "You make it sound as if the global box office record is so easy to break. This question,
Let’s wait until “Titanic” tops the global box office charts!”
Is Titanic possible?
Who knows!
There's no point talking about this now.
Of course, Zhang Yu also wanted to avoid it.
When promoting the film, North America is the focus.
Naturally the same is true in China!
After all, they are the two largest film markets in the world.
"Is there any chance?"
Fang Zhengxian couldn't help but ask Zhang Yu about this topic.
Thirteen Films is also one of the investors in the movie "Titanic".
It’s just that the largest investor is Lion Pictures.
"It's hard to say!" Zhang Yu shook his head and said.
"Then there is a chance!" Fang Zheng said with a smile.
He knew Zhang Yu well and could naturally guess what he was thinking from his words.
There should still be opportunities.
After all, this movie topped the global box office charts for more than ten years in its previous life.
But the world is different, and the timing of the release is also different.
There are too many factors that determine the box office of a movie.
Now, who can say for sure?
"From the perspective of Chinese-language films, it may not be a good thing for your film to win the championship." Fang Zhengxian continued, "However, it is also your work, and the impact is not as big as imagined."
"It seems that there are many people in China who have this idea!" Zhang Yu said, "How much can I get for filming?"
"Forty percent of the premiere!" Fang Zhengxian said, "There will be no problem with the film schedule. North America should be fine too, right?"
"More than five thousand." Zhang Yu said.
The schedule of Zhang Yu's film in North America undoubtedly broke his film record.
After all, this is an English-language film, and the schedule is a bit more than his previous films, so there’s nothing surprising about it.
Of course, the main reason is that Zhang Yu's last film topped the global box office list, which greatly increased its box office appeal, and the schedule of new films has naturally increased.
In addition, the market is extremely optimistic about his film.
As for domestic movie fans, will they boycott "Titanic" because they are afraid that it will not be at the top of the global box office chart?
This worry is obviously unnecessary.
Is there such a person?
Of course there is.
However, compared to the huge fan base, they are only a minority.
"check it out!"
Yang Ruoxue smiled and handed the phone to Zhang Yu.
A street interview from Kuaiyin was playing on her mobile phone.
The interview questions were:
Will you support Zhang Shisan’s new film?
Do you care that his English-language film overtook the Chinese-language film "Avatar" to top the global box office list?
Why?
"Of course I support it! Why don't you support Zhang Shisan's movie?"
"I'm his most loyal fan."
"So what if we squeezed out "Avatar"? "Titanic" is an English film, but it was also written and directed by Zhang Shisan!"
"That's also Zhang Shisan's work."
"Is Zhang Shisan a Chinese filmmaker?"
"Why should you mind?"
"Didn't Zhang Shisan say that? We Chinese movie fans are not that unbearable, so how could it be so narrowly defined?"
...
"We don't know Zhang Shisan yet? If "Titanic" really breaks the record of "Avatar", then he will definitely find a way to make a Chinese-language movie to break the record of "Titanic"."
"If he doesn't set a new record, where will he get the motivation?"
...
"Whether it is supported or not has nothing to do with the language of the movie "Titanic"."
"In the end it all depends on the film itself."
"Good movies will be supported."
"However, a film produced by Thirteen will definitely lose its quality. Zhang Thisan's films have never disappointed the fans, and I think this film will not disappoint the fans either."
"Even if it's an English movie."
...
"If Chinese-language films want to remain at the top of the global box office charts, they shouldn't rely on the box office performance of other films!"
“Chinese-language films can’t rest on their laurels!”
"If 'Titanic' can really surpass 'Avatar' at the box office, this may not be a bad thing."
"This film is also the work of Zhang Shisan, a Chinese filmmaker."
"If it were the work of other Hollywood directors, then Chinese-language films would be even more disgraceful."
"I really like what Zhang Shisan said: Aren't records meant to be broken?"
"Only by constantly creating new records can we progress and develop."
...
In the interviews on the street, not all were supportive, but a few expressed their hope that "Titanic" would overtake "Avatar".
"Are you relieved now?"
Yang Ruoxue took the mobile phone handed back by Zhang Yu and said with a smile.
"I am a shareholder of Kuaiyin." Zhang Yu said with a smile.
Yang Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, then realized what she was doing.
"You mean this interview content is only released for those who support it, and those who don't support it are cut out?" Yang Ruoxue asked.
This seems very possible!
"Then I don't know." Zhang Yu said, "Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether it's super or not. I've never been the one who's most worried about domestic movie fans boycotting it."
Who is that?
Yang Ruoxue didn't even need to ask.
Those who are most worried are naturally those investors.
If domestic movie fans boycott, will they lose nothing?
"Aren't you the biggest investor in this movie?" Yang Ruoxue said with a smile.
Zhang Yu is the largest investor, but he probably cares more about box office than other investors.
"Actually, there is nothing to worry about." Zhang Yu said, "Previously, many Hollywood films were released in China, and the boycott was astonishing. What was the result?"
