At the turn of the new year, if there is something that shocks the world again? It must be Cameron, the truck driver. The newly released "Avatar" has once again swept the global box office. The total global box office reached 2.788 billion U.S. dollars, breaking his own record.

Maintains the box office record of "Titanic" with $2.185 billion.

People have to marvel, the only one who can defeat Cameron is himself, right?

The domestic box office is also as high as 1.4 billion yuan.

With the large-scale construction of digital cinemas in the mainland, the number of big screens has doubled. The single-film box office has also broken the 300 million limit and begun to move towards the 1 billion mark.

You know, this is an extremely important figure. Because it is almost 140 million US dollars!

This number not only has symbolic meaning, but also truly breaks some limitations.

Because Hollywood’s imported blockbusters can be divided into 25%, which is about 35 million U.S. dollars. The share for domestic films is more than one-third, which is almost 50 million U.S. dollars! If you add Hollywood’s famous directors and stars, those

The factors of the 20 million club, as well as the high production costs, rounding off, wouldn’t a domestic film be a large-scale production of almost 100 million US dollars?

And if you can make a lot of money just by relying on the domestic market, what else do you need for bicycles? There is no need to cater to the overseas market, it is enough to consider the tastes of the domestic audience.

Of course, there are also certain side effects - a large influx of hot money, and stars' salaries skyrocketing.

Now, no matter how high the salary is, if you invite a star, you will still make money. Maybe when the schedule is over, the star's salary will increase significantly, or even double?

Back to the movie "Avatar". I don't need to mention its excellence here. There are many good reviews. But I have to admit that one of the important factors why it has such a high box office is that 3dmax has begun to become popular on a large scale.

Since the ticket price of 3dmax is high, it will definitely bring higher box office.

As a result, the film markets of various countries have discovered a new profit growth point, and thousands of troops have been deployed to produce 3dmax films.

Actually...that is, Hollywood and the Chinese market. Ahem. Only these two major markets have such large capacity and can withstand the high production costs.

But having said that, no matter what, the new 3dmax special effects blockbuster will have to wait until one or two years later. Even if it is converted from 2D to pseudo-3D, it will take at least half a year.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, the 3dmax version of "The Martian" was re-released around the world, which just filled this market gap. Taking advantage of the popularity of "Avatar", "The Martian" also won an overseas box office of 510 million U.S. dollars, and was well received domestically.

Received 840 million soft girl coins at the box office. It was a beautiful turnaround.

However, the mainland market is doing very well, but at the beginning of the new year, except for the two phenomenal films "Avatar" and "The Martian", the box office performance of other films is relatively impressive.

There are basically none that are particularly high. But there are more than a dozen that are over 100 million? It seems to be quite average, and almost all of them make a lot of money.

The reason is very simple. We are still in an era when top-tier celebrities are paid millions for their films. With a box office of over 100 million, you won’t lose money anyway, right?

And in Rong Guang's impression, the situation in the second half of the year should be similar. In addition to "Inception", there are also domestic films "Tangshan Earthquake" and "Let the Bullets Fly". These three films all have a rating of over 500 million. Others

Are they also characters worth billions of dollars?

So speaking of it, the competition is not very fierce... right? Rong Guang's confidence greatly increased and he started the preliminary promotion of "Blood Bank"...

…

When the film started to warm up, the other actors basically started to participate in variety shows. They even got together to appear on Mango TV through the contact of Xiongbaizhi.

As for Rong Guang, he still chose "Artistic Life" by Zhu Jun.

This has nothing to do with being cool. Well! It’s still a little bit. Rong Guang can’t have fun with the Happy Family, can he?

But the more important reason - this is an art film!

Here we need to talk about Rong Guang’s motives. He is trying to restore his reputation, and the most important thing is word of mouth. Relatively speaking, the box office is not important. And art films are for word of mouth. The box office is...just let it happen!

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the box office is unimportant. The best thing is to get both word-of-mouth and box office success! But a war movie that focuses on art films? If it can get a box office similar to "Assembly", that’s already great.

Therefore, an interview program like "Artistic Life" is more suitable...

"Director Rong, we meet again."

"Haha, hello, Teacher Zhu Jun. I'm honored to be invited to "Art Life" again."

After the pleasantries, Zhu Jun got down to the topic: "Rong Guang, I heard that you made an anti-Japanese film this time? How could you think of filming such a subject?"

Rong Guang said with a smile: "Two reasons: one is the educational significance, I won't go into details about that. Never forget the past and learn from the future; the other is the market. In fact, the market capacity of domestic war films is quite large."

"Oh? Your point of view is very novel. Sorry, I seem to hear this often, including in your internal communications among filmmakers. It seems that modern war movies...how to put it? I admit that it has educational significance, but the audience probably doesn't like to watch it very much, right?

"

"Then you are wrong. Haha." Rong Guang did not want to discuss this topic in depth.

In that very special period in the past, there were indeed so many war movies that it made the audience feel sick. But that was not because of the war movies, but because they were all uniformly masked. In the final analysis, there are no bad war movies, only bad war movies.

A director who is not good at making war movies!

The other is the current public opinion. In the public opinion they guide, the credit goes to the Guo Army and Tubal Road on the frontal battlefield... It's pretty good without a few curses. There are even a lot of rumors. Even the Osaka Division

Became a clown?

Please! In World War II, the Osaka Division was often used as a reserve. Amateur military fans know that the most powerful troops are usually vanguards or reserves. Otherwise, at the critical moment when the final decision is made, letting the Osaka Division appear like a clown

Take the lead in escaping?

Historical nihilism like this is actually quite harmful. Of course, it is more likely to be stupid and bad.

However, there is no need to go into a lengthy discussion here. Sooner or later, the common people will wake up and see the true face of those well-known vulgar people.

However, Zhu Jun did not let go of the question: "Am I wrong? I believe many viewers are curious and want to hear your opinion."

"Haha." Rong Guang laughed a few times and considered for a few seconds, "Actually, domestic audiences like war movies very much. Zhu Jun, have you noticed? Among the domestic films with relatively high box office at present, one is a local comedy; the other is a variety of action films.
