Chapter 870: Virus spread 2

Later, Teacher Xu learned:
It is a custom in Japan to show movies, and the lights cannot be turned on until the end of the credit list is scrolled. Audiences usually wait until the lights are turned on before leaving the venue. Of course, it is not mandatory and they can also leave first.
It is said to respect the film’s production staff.
If Xu Fei doesn't catch a cold, it's a good movie. Why should I respect a bad movie? I lost it!
In short, the habits are different here.
After the premiere of "Virus", there were no waves, and so did the next day. But then, more and more news about movies, especially on the Internet.
"Brothers, come and watch this movie! I just made a temporary plan to coax the girl to the Clock Hotel that day, but it turned out to be a goddamn!"
"It's definitely not the kind of zombies in Hollywood. The zombies here are all running fast, and the young lady has a cracked mouth. Ah! I love it!"
"This is the worst time a retail investor has been hacked in movie history. The evil fund manager has become a hero!!!"
"I don't know if my dad's IQ and speed can make it to the last little train. Orz~"
"Sballasi!"
Online audiences and movie theater audiences, like non-drinking social animals and drinking social animals, seem to be two worlds.
The serious media comments are much more serious:
"Complete routines, clear concepts, conspiracy and sacrifice, not Hollywood-style heroism to save mankind, but more human reflection and emotional portrayal."
"The use of various elements is extremely skillful, the scenes and special effects are commendable, and the shots of zombie attacks are very enjoyable."
"Leslie Cheung's charm is undiminished, the boxer is simple and straightforward and very pleasing, Gong Li controls the rhythm, Sanada Hiroyuki makes people hate it, and Xia Fan shows her potential..."
"The highest level of Asian commercial films!"
"If you shoot at the end, I will give you full marks!"
"Travel to Busan" appeared in 2016 and borrowed a lot of routines, such as the fast-moving zombies, "Zombie World War" has already been filmed.
But now in 2002, "Virus" is groundbreaking in many forms!
In addition, Mr. Xu made up for the lack of sense of camera, rhythm, inexplicable sluggishness of characters, and lack of fear in group performances.
It can't be said that there are no shortcomings, there are definitely shortcomings, but overall it is shocking.
The box office was flat in the first week, but when the word of mouth accumulated, the next week actually reversed the decline. Xu Fei finally saw the Japanese box office statistics:
"The zombie film "Virus" co-produced in the four places mobilized more than 310,000 audiences on the first day of the following week and earned more than 400 million yen at the box office.
On the second day, more than 390,000 people were mobilized, and the box office reached 500 million yen, achieving a reverse decline... At present, the total box office has reached 1.5 billion yen after six days of release, and it continues to rise rapidly.
Dongbao stated that it has made preparations for long-term screenings, with the goal of hitting 10 billion. "
There are professional analysis:
"Japan, as the world's second largest film market, has attracted the attention of many practitioners.
Smart filmmakers choose to cooperate with local filmmakers to create co-productions that are closely related to the Japanese region and culture, and at the same time have a good sense of recognition in other regions.
The target market of "Virus" is obviously East Asian and Southeast Asian countries.
The "Last Samurai", which has been in preparation for a long time and will be launched in the second half of the year, invites Tom Cruise to sit down, obviously focusing on the Japanese and North American markets. "
Over tens of billions, it's only a burst film in Japan.
"The Last Samurai" has a box office of 13.7 billion yen, but this is a real blockbuster with an investment of $100 million.
Dongbao’s estimate of "Virus" is between 8 billion and 10 billion, with an exchange rate of 131.06, or US$60-70 million.
The cost is 12 million U.S. dollars, about 36 million can be paid back, or more than 4 billion yen.
In terms of the size of Japan, the movie market is indeed huge.
Anyway, as soon as the results came out next week, everyone was relieved. There are still other regions that have not been shown, and there are audiovisual products available for sale! There are so many ways to make money!
…………
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone stayed in Japan for a while, and it was time for other areas to run publicity. Before leaving, the Japanese arranged a cocktail party.
The first pan-Asian cooperation was successful, and the spirits were inspiring, and they talked about issuing cloud clouds in the local area.
"The Internet is very powerful now. You can try to open holes on the Internet, find some culturally influential celebrities to write articles, and first draw out the curiosity of the public.
And there is a saying in the Japanese media, I think it should be used more. "
"Which sentence?"
"The highest level of Asian commercial films!"
Xu Fei said this, looked at the expressions of several people, and smiled: "Word of mouth and quality are in front of us. Even if we are not the highest level, we are the closest to the highest level.
This is a very good publicity stunt, it is not ashamed to put it on "Virus"! "
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, big shots from all over the world readily accepted the suggestion.
Xu Fei, as an employer + screenwriter, is handsome and humorous, and is very popular at the reception. No girl star came over to talk, he dealt with it casually, and sighed in his heart:
Ah...oh...oh...my day entertainment!
"Mr. Xu!"
While feeling melancholy, Yasuda, Xu Yingzhu and Lao Song came over together: "Why are you hiding here? We want to talk to you about the sequel."
"A sequel is going to be done so soon?"
"No, no, I mean you can write the script first. The cost of the script is small, and there is no loss if you shoot or not." Yasuda said.
"Sorry, I haven't thought about what to do with the sequel."
"We can all try it, and there is no conflict in writing the script." Xu Yingzhu is the most motivated like a chicken blood.
"Well, let me first say that I don't guarantee creativity."
After the two left, Lao Song was surprised: "Why do you seem not interested in the sequel?"
Yes! "Travel to Busan 2" sucks!
"I really didn't think about it, and I don't plan to cooperate with Japan and South Korea in the second part."
"Give a reason first!"
"Some things need to be hit while the iron is hot, some things cannot. "Virus" is too dependent on the Japanese market, and the second part will be suppressed."
Xu Fei paused, and said, "I am going to make an action movie, cooperating with Thailand, at a small cost, and to the flesh, it is best to be released in mainland China."
"Can it work?"
"There are a lot of kung fu fans all over the world. As long as the film is shot well, optical discs can make money! "October Besieged City" is well played?"
"Okay!"
"Then let's have a stronger one, Wu Jing, Yen Zidan, Kou Zhanwen, Zhang Jin, Ni Xing, Zhou Billy, and find some Muay Thai masters..."
Hiss!
Old Song's blood was boiling.
After he left, Gong Li came to sit again.
After Gong Li, Leslie Cheung also came with a glass of wine: "Teacher Xu, I toast you a glass!"
"Call me old."
"Ha, respect you!"
Leslie Cheung had a drink with him and said with a smile: "I have been filming for 20 years, whether "The True Colors of Heroes", "A Fei's True Story", "Evil and West Poison", it's just filming.
Only two dramas have the deepest feelings. "Farewell My Concubine" is in that kind of sense, you know how.
"Virus" is, uh, I never thought we could make this kind of movie... It's hard to tell, but you can understand it, it's really great! "
He sipped his wine and nodded, "Thanks, thank you so much!"
