But Wang Yifan is different.
He is now the first director of Chinese movies.
Of course, this is mainly in the category of commercial films.
And backed by Huaxin, which has hidden the largest privately owned film and television group in China, plus several other companies, it can be said that Wang Yifan is more or less owed. In addition, this time "Qi Tian Da "Holy" is dominated by the schedule, so there are fewer conflicts of interest, so naturally no one will run to discredit Wang Yifan's movie without long eyes.
Wang Yifan has always had a very good relationship with the media, so public opinion can be said to be very good for "The Monkey King".
As for the island countries, this time, because "The Monkey King" is a co-produced film between China and the island country, it can be released simultaneously in both countries.
Because Wang Yifan’s "The Bell at Midnight" shot earlier has set off a horror boom. Over the past year or so, it can be said that the island country’s thriller movies have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, although the quality is uneven, but always There are also some boutiques.
It can be said that Wang Yifan saved the precarious live-action movie of the island nation with his own efforts.
Moreover, Wang Yifan has a huge number of fans in the island country. Unlike in China, the island country is a country that worships the strong.
And it's the kind of very red fruit, especially Wang Yifan, who is the pride of the entire Asia. The name of the Asian Light was first named by the island country.
And his achievements can be said to be almost unparalleled in the Asian film and television circles. For this reason, Wang Yifan is naturally extremely popular in the island country.
In addition, "The Monkey King" is a co-production film, with the strong support of Toei and Matsumoto Group, so the momentum is even higher than that in China.
Island movies or Bangzi country movies are actually due to market reasons, so it is almost impossible for them to really invest in any major productions. For this reason, special effects movies like "Monkey King" are still Chinese and Asian special effects movies. , For them, they are naturally regarded as "owners"!
The result is that "The Monkey King" has not been released in the island country, it has already become popular.
The most intuitive impact is that there was a panic buying frenzy around the island country's "Journey to the West".
Under such circumstances, Monkey King is officially released worldwide simultaneously!
Well, in fact, the Asian region is considered to be synchronized. Although it is also released in North America and Europe, but the scale is small? This kind of Chinese traditional cultural element film? In Europe and the United States, how many actually can there be The audience is really hard to say.
After all? Don’t look at Lao Mei’s exporting culture all the time? But in fact, do you expect Lao Mei’s audience to really understand movies like Monkey King? Or do you overestimate them.
Of course, it can also be said? This is the result of cultural output.
Why are so many people familiar with many things in North America?
Such as FBI? Such as CIA, such as Broadway, etc., many people may not find it strange.
But actually? Ask an ordinary person? You tell him about the North American FBI. They may not know much, but at least they have heard of it, or even heard it well. This is a North American law enforcement agency Barabara. Anyway, it's great.
But want to ask other countries? Maybe everyone is not so clear.
Don't underestimate these things. In fact, these things are the epitome of the popular cultural output of Hollywood movies.
The "Superhero" series of movies in North America? Always instill in people the concept of "North America is the world's hegemon", repeating the previous world pattern of "one super, many powerful". When young people who are keen on cool visual effects watch movies? Maybe they only noticed the awe-inspiring justice of superheroes when they save the world? But they ignore the hardline view that they have acquiesced to "only North American superheroes can save the world".
So Hollywood movies, they often don’t worry that foreigners will not be able to understand them, but domestic movies need to be exported step by step. When you come up, tell them the mythology and system of China. They can understand it. Out of a ghost.
After all, English is required for the Chinese college entrance examination, while Chinese is not for the North American exam.
It can be said that while exporting their ideas and concepts to the outside world and using movies to allow the world to subtly accept their ideas, they are actually very conservative internally.
This forms a natural cultural barrier.
It is common for Hollywood movies to sell well abroad, but foreign movies sell well in North America. Is it really because the movies are not good enough?
It's really not. It's that Hollywood movies have broken cultural barriers, but the output of other countries' culture is far from enough, so barriers cannot be broken, and I can't understand them.
Closer to home.
On the first day of the premiere of "Monkey King", the domestic film ranking in China reached 80% unprecedentedly.
It can be said that this number has not happened in the domestic film market for many years.
It probably dates back to the 1980s and 1990s, when domestic films were scarce.
Of course, "The Monkey King" can get such a large-scale, unprecedented lineup of films, which is also an affirmation of Wang Yifan.
Unlike many directors, Wang Yifan is really accumulated from a movie.
Of course, the unprecedented sequence of films does not mean that there is no harm.
In fact, I really can't say that.
Because super large-scale film arrangement cannot last forever, and this also tests the publicity and quality of the film.
After all, such a large-scale platoon must have enough box office support, otherwise, why do you give you such a large platoon?
At the same time, enough publicity needs to be put in place to let enough people know about the film and attract enough people to buy tickets for the first time.
It can be said that the box office potential of the movie broke out in advance.
"The Monkey King" on the first day of its release, the box office did not disappoint, with 420 million yuan at the box office on the first day, leaving everyone stunned.
"The Monkey King" also set a record, a single-day box office record for Chinese films, and it directly increased to a number of 420 million that made latecomers desperate!
Although this has a lot to do with the super-sequence of "Monkey King", no one can deny that such a result can be achieved not only by high-ranking.
What is the concept of 420 million?
We must know that most of the current domestic movies can cheer for more than 100 million, and if you can exceed this number, it is already very good to have 20 a year.
But this is just the box office for one day of Monkey King.
Of course, this box office is not reproducible, because it is really too difficult to find a movie in China with such an arrangement.
