Chapter 426 There are still surprises(1/2)
The most discussed aspect of Jack and Rose's love is undoubtedly Rose's love for Jack.
As for Jack's love for Ruth, no one questions it.
If you sacrifice your life for the one you love, no one will question your love.
As the discussion increases, the film's box office continues to be stable, and even continues to grow in some countries and regions.
This film lasts as long as the original.
It’s just different from the original version which opens low and goes high.
This video was extremely popular from the beginning.
This was somewhat beyond Zhang Yu's expectation.
But it's also a good thing.
"Is it possible to break the record?" Fang Zheng asked Zhang Yu with a smile.
After "Titanic" was released, Zhang Yu spent more time in China.
He seems to be planning to take some time off and go to Hollywood after the Spring Festival.
Over in Hollywood, there is indeed nothing going on during this period.
"Then it depends on how long the popularity of the film can last," Zhang Yu said.
Is there hope?
It's really hard to say now.
Of course, it is not without hope.
The film's success is that its box office is stable and its downward trend is not as fast as that of other films.
"Given the longevity of "Titanic" at the box office, it should be able to get a lot of films scheduled for the Spring Festival." Fang Zhengxian said, "If other films during the Spring Festival are not strong, maybe more films can be added."
Foreign language films are generally not released during the Spring Festival.
However, if a film released a few years ago has strong box office longevity and cannot be released during the Spring Festival, it is not without precedent.
"Titanic" will obviously get more films.
In addition to the film itself, this naturally has something to do with the director being Zhang Shisan.
This is a foreign language film, but it is undeniable that it is the work of a Chinese filmmaker.
What's more, this film is also supported by two major domestic theaters.
They are all considered investors.
"It doesn't matter whether the record is broken or not," Zhang Yu said, "It's better if it's broken, and it's better if it's not broken."
Fang Zhengxian nodded.
He naturally knew what Zhang Yu meant.
The benefits of breaking it are self-evident.
The unbreakable advantage is that Chinese-language films still top the global box office charts.
"The popularity of "Titanic" has also been of great benefit to the promotion of "Resident Evil"," said Fang Zhengxian.
Spring Festival is at the end of January.
One month after the release of "Titanic" is the Spring Festival.
Naturally, the promotion of "Resident Evil" started long ago.
This film, written by Zhang Shisan, naturally attracted more attention from movie fans.
The popularity of "Titanic" has undoubtedly made "Zhang Shisan"'s box office appeal even stronger.
The film became a hit and is regarded as a classic of romance films.
Those great Hollywood directors who once mocked Zhang Shisan for not being able to make romance films were inevitably dug up and beaten to death by the media.
Didn’t you say that Zhang Shisan doesn’t know how to make romance movies?
Come and review "Titanic"!
The directors were silent about it.
Of course, there are some who are still stubborn.
"'Titanic' is just a disaster movie disguised as a romance movie."
right!
"Titanic" is a disaster movie, but it has a love element.
Of course, his words were inevitably ridiculed by the crowd.
And this topic naturally increased the popularity of the movie a lot.
After all, this is the only thing that people who eat melon like.
As for whether the media and fans dug up graves and whipped corpses to satisfy the appetite of the melon-eating masses, or whether Lion Pictures used this to hype up and promote the movie, it is unclear.
The popularity of "Titanic" was expected by many people.
It's just that they didn't expect this film to be popular for so long.
It has been released for nearly a month, but it has already topped the global single-day box office for nearly a month.
Let’s not mention it domestically for now. After all, there are no decent films released before the Spring Festival, so naturally there are no films that have any impact on it.
No one can challenge the single-day box office championship.
But it is different in other countries and regions.
Especially North America!
"Titanic" still topped the single-day box office for three consecutive weeks and topped the weekly box office.
This has already broken the record in the North American film market.
Even in the fourth week, it's just a little worse than the newly released blockbuster.
When the shortlist for this year's Oscars was announced, the popularity of the film instantly increased.
The film is nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Makeup, Best
Sixteen categories including artistic direction, best costume design, best sound effects, best visual effects, best soundtrack, and best film song.
This broke the record for the most Oscar nominations for a film.
Zhang Shisan’s first English-language film broke the Oscar nomination record.
There is no doubt about his ability.
But some people are wondering why Zhang Shisan was shortlisted for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award this time instead of the Best Original Screenplay Award?
It is precisely because of this award nomination that many people understand the difference between the Oscar Award for Adapted Screenplay and the Original Screenplay Award.
The Golden Dragon Award only has the Best Screenplay Award, and there is no such division.
The main difference between an adapted script and an original script lies in the source of the script's story.
Adapting a script is often based on existing stories in the form of novels, documentary/reportage, picture books/comics, games, biographies, news, etc. to create the script needed for the movie.
There are also various forms of adaptation. The story can be restored to its original flavor, or the original story can be annotated from a new perspective, or the entire story can be completely rewritten using only the original work as material.
However, no matter how it is adapted, the screenwriter is required to follow the play structure and screenwriting methods.
The original script is a script story that is completely based on the characteristics of film and television works.
All scripts for movie sequels are automatically classified as adapted screenplays because the sequel must be based on the previous film.
"Titanic" is based on a true event, so it is naturally nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, not the Best Original Screenplay Award.
Although the adapted script is based on previous works or real events, excellent film screenwriters can often give old stories a new perspective and make them more in line with the expression of film language, sometimes even surpassing the story value of the original work.
At the same time, precisely because the original work serves as a benchmark, screenwriters who adapt scripts often face pressure from audiences to compare their works with the original work.
The original script is not bound by this aspect and depends entirely on the creativity and skill of the screenwriter.
Of course, there is no difference between the Original Screenplay Award and the Adapted Screenplay Award.
As soon as the Oscar shortlist was announced, the popularity of "Titanic", which was still in theaters, instantly increased, and the box office also experienced reverse growth.
This energized the film's box office staying power.
Shortlisted for sixteen awards!
This greatly increased Zhang Shisan’s reputation around the world.
Among these awards, he has been shortlisted for several.
Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score, and Best Film Song.
In fact, he also participated in costume design, art direction, photography, and editing.
It's just that his name was not reported in these.
