MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 1005 growing up healthily
Compared with the North American market, the overseas market is much more complicated. Each country and region has its own characteristics due to differences in culture, religion, region, society, and even laws. This also makes the exploration of overseas markets full of many challenges. variable. Even for Disney, which focuses on family fun, it is often difficult for them to achieve excellent results in the Japanese and Chinese/Chinese markets. More often, action movies and disaster movies based on computer special effects can win more box office.
This is why the overseas market is more difficult for small and medium-sized film companies-their types of works are more restricted. However, in the past few years, Chaos Films has demonstrated its superior ability to tap overseas markets. The "City of God" that has exploded thanks to the South American market, and the popular "Access Day" in China , "Sin City", which has successfully set off a boom in Japan and Europe with its artistic image style, and "Hard Candy" that has pushed the deterrence of lens images to the extreme and is highly sought after...
Among all the current works of Chaos Films, except for "Sin City", every other work has an overseas box office higher than the North American box office. This feat has indeed attracted the attention of the six major film companies. Large companies like Warner Bros. and Disney have distinctive styles and relatively fixed strategies. It is difficult for Chaos Pictures to conquer different markets with a variety of styles. The same trait is sometimes an advantage and sometimes a disadvantage.
"Fury Road" is no exception. Although the film's performance in Asia lags behind "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", its dominance in other regions is staggering. Some people even speculated that "Fury Road" Can it become the second work after "Titanic" to exceed one billion overseas box office. In the end, it was still subject to the shackles of the R-rated rating and failed to create such a feat. However, the film's overseas box office once again handed in a perfect answer. With a score of 679 million, it surpassed the film's North American box office and continued again. The unique appeal of Chaos Shadow Industry overseas.
The global box office of 1.292 billion is only one step away from 1.3 billion. It is a pity that it failed to make history again, but this data is enough to make "Fury Road" a glance.
Behind "Fury Road", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "The Da Vinci Code", "Ice Age 2", "007: Casino Royale", "Night at the Museum", "Cars", "X-Men" 3", "Mission Impossible 3", "Superman Returns" and other works successfully ranked among the top ten in the global box office rankings at the end of 2006.
A cursory glance at the list reveals an obvious fact that "Mission: Impossible 3" replaced "Happy Feet" and successfully occupied a seat in the top ten, which also explains the characteristics of the overseas market—sequel Movies often have a greater pulling effect. At the same time, Hollywood's star power has a fatal attraction to overseas markets, which is also a direct reflection of the influence of the United States as the most developed region in the global entertainment industry.
Not just "Mission Impossible 3", "The Da Vinci Code" led by Tom Hanks, the reboot of the 007 series "Casino Royale", the amazing sequels "Ice Age 2" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" ", the performance of the overseas market is better than that of the North American list. Even "X-Men 3" and "Superman Returns", two works with poor reputation, have performed well at the overseas box office, keeping their own reputation. top ten seats.
In contrast, "Wonderful Night at the Museum" as a comedy work, obviously lacks the motivation to attract overseas. Although this work hardly reflects the laughter of American culture, it is more of a whimsy that the public can empathize with. Wanting to create humor, its box office revenue of 320 million overseas has also surpassed North America, but overall, its explosive power and staying power are still not as good as "Casino Royale" series of famous works.
In addition, the impact of word-of-mouth reviews from North America on the overseas box office is also clearly visible. "Cars" bears the sign of Pixar, but it has not been able to continue its magical performance. The overseas box office is lower than the North American box office. The global box office is 460 million. The box office data of "Ice Age 2" lags behind "Ice Age 2" by 200 million US dollars. Such a huge gap does not seem to be produced by Pixar at all.
The same is true for "Mission: Impossible 3". Although Tom Cruise and its sequels are unparalleled in appeal, the overseas box office has doubled that of the North American box office, but the total global box office of 397 million is five times that of the previous work. The score of 140 million is not at the same level at all, and the downward trend is too obvious.
Of course, the overseas box office of "X-Men 3" and "Superman Returns" is both lower than that in North America. Even if they keep the top ten positions, they still inevitably lose money.
From such a development context, it is not difficult to see that the strong reputation established by Chaos Films is ultimately derived from the solid quality of the works. In the absence of sequel bonuses, relying on "Lancelot-Strello" With this golden signboard, they have become a film company whose overseas revenue is higher than that of North America for four consecutive years—just counting the box office data, Lance is not only the biggest star of Chaos Films, but also the core guarantee of Chaos Films’ quality. I am afraid that no film company can replicate this feat. It is no exaggeration to say that Chaos Films' overseas advantages are even greater than those in North America.
This time, "Fury Road" has made history overseas, and it has unbelievably defeated "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", which is unrivaled in overseas markets. The prestige of the film is bound to become a box office guarantee similar to that of Pixar, and become the strongest weapon for Chaos Films to conquer overseas markets. Next, Chaos Films will launch two works, "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk", both of which are works that overseas markets are willing to buy - computer special effects, superheroes, action blockbusters, as you can imagine, in Lanzhou Under Si's supervision, as long as the quality of the works remains above the standard, Chaos Pictures will continue to sweep the overseas markets.
No one can ignore such a chaotic shadow industry, and no one will ignore such a chaotic shadow industry.
On the whole, the global box office market in 2006 was still prosperous. In addition to the two works of "Fury Road" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" that broke through one billion box office, "The Da Vinci Code" and "Ice Age" were also born. 2" Two works with a box office of more than 600 million, and even "Casino Royale" has a global box office of 599 million, which is only a short distance away from 600 million. Such a result has surpassed the global box office list of the past three years. Last year, people were still exclaiming that the global box office of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Star Wars Episode 3" both exceeded 800 million. It has already witnessed the feat of the global box office of two works reaching one billion, which really made people feel the vitality of the film market.
It's no surprise now to step back and review the accolades for Lance from Forbes and People. It can be said that Lance, as a producer and director, has torn apart the barriers of the entertainment industry with his influence and radiation, extending to society, culture, politics, economy and many other aspects. Such a feat really makes people feel powerful Powerful, even more powerful than "Star Wars" in 1977. Back then, George Lucas was recorded in history with this work, and now Lance undoubtedly has his own world in the long river of history.
From The New Yorker to The New York Times, from Entertainment Weekly to the Los Angeles Times, from Variety to The Hollywood Reporter, and even from radio to television, the mainstream media has never been more consistent than ever. Send praises to Reims, flowers and applause are praising Reims for achieving such a magical and unique year, maybe thirty years later, people will praise 2006 as they marvel at 1977 now, history Always complete reincarnation in a special way and enter a new era.
If the public opinion of the mainstream media still has a commercial flavor, then the public opinion reflected by the Internet is more approachable. Among the year-end rankings of portal sites such as Yahoo Community and Google Search ~www.novelbuddy.com~ Lance easily occupies the top spot, and some people even lamented, "It is hard to imagine how boring 2006 would be without Lance, just Just Captain Jack Sparrow? That would have been boring. But now, we have Mad Max!"
This trend of public opinion is concentrated on IMDB. "Fury Road" has surpassed "Shawshank Redemption" to dominate the film history championship. Almost no one can shake the dominance of "Fury Road" and the absolute advantage of scores. It's more like a crush; in addition, in the artist list, Lance also occupied the championship for the first time, defeating Johnny Depp and Ben Stiller, which is Lance's history. This is the first time since the film has risen to such a position, considering that directors have far less exposure than actors, and Lance is the only non-actor in the top ten-at least not in his own job, which is even more commendable.
In other words, even in the minds of the general public, Lance's influence has reached an unprecedented peak, just as the "People" weekly selection said: He is now a unique existence, and some people are even willing to pay for it. Watch him pass on the road.
"2006 is equal to Lance", this seems to have become the consensus of everyone, but "whether 2006 is equal to the peak", it seems that there must be a question mark, because the ongoing awards season, "Furious The prospect of "The Road" is still covered with a thick shadow. Can Lance be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director again, and can he win the award in one go? Or, will the Academy fail Lance once again?
Everyone knew that this was Lance's best chance, and Dorothy Wright and Cole Greed knew it even more clearly. Therefore, they will not give up easily, nor do they intend to disarm easily. This year's academy PR, they will no longer stand idly by!
