Chapter 782: .North American Box Office

Nick finds it very strange.
Because he has always liked that kind of monster, but after watching "King Kong", he suddenly felt that King Kong was more interesting.
In other words, King Kong can be said to be a strange flower in monster movies.
It actually fell in love with human beauty.
Well, in fact, Nick still has a heavy taste. He thinks the combination of monsters and beauties is really great.
Then he went to watch it again.
Especially in the end, King Kong took the girl to fly on the top of the building, which made Nick think that King Kong was really cool.
"King Kong" was released in North America. At the beginning, it did not perform very well.
But soon, the stalk of King Kong flying on the top of the building began to become popular on the Internet.
As a result, on Friday, the daily box office was only more than 3 million U.S. dollars, and on Saturday, this number actually doubled. On Sunday, the box office will normally be lower than Saturday. After all, the following Monday It's another working day.
But "King Kong" was the opposite. On Sunday, it received 8.2 million at the box office!
Matsumoto Universal was also a little surprised. Unexpectedly, "King Kong", a Chinese monster movie, would be accepted by the audience in North America.
And the point is, the evaluation of "King Kong" on the Internet is very good.
Moreover, some media and film critics in North America also noticed this movie.
A well-known American film critic, David Polk, a columnist for the Los Angeles Times, wrote a film review specifically for "King Kong".
"Recently Matsumoto Universal released a monster movie from China. The islanders have tried this. They tried to bring the island monsters to North America, but in the end, the islanders miscalculated because our North American audiences , Do not like the monsters of the island country, or that they do not like any monsters from outside.
But this time, Matsumoto Universal made a comeback, and they brought a monster movie "King Kong" from China!
At the beginning, I also thought that "King Kong" was probably the same as the original monster movie in the island country. It could not conquer our North American audiences, but this time, I found that we were wrong!
"King Kong" can be said to be completely different from our usual Hollywood monster movies.
Hollywood monster movies have always had a set of mature routines, lacking innovation. They think that relying on mature routines can do no harm, but they forget that the audience’s aesthetics and successful routines will also bore the audience, because There is nothing new, the "Prehistoric Python" launched by Mina Pictures is still an old routine, but the Chinese movies that we have been neglected have taught our Hollywood directors a lesson!
"King Kong" won a box office of 17 million in the first weekend and sparked a lot of discussion.
The biggest difference of "King Kong" is that the director of China has endowed monsters with emotion, instead of being like most monster movies, only wild, brutal, and bloody. "King Kong" is equally powerful, but the difference is that it After learning to love, it is actually not much different from human beings to some extent, except for body shape.
It’s even harder to imagine that "King Kong" is a three-hour movie, but the plot is ups and downs, intertwined, and the selling points are very prominent. So, our arrogant Hollywood directors, maybe you should wake up, maybe There are still some gaps between Chinese films and ours, but don't forget that they have the world's second largest box office market, and such a market is enough to cultivate more Chinese filmmakers.
"Jin [Biqugex www.biqugex.info] Gang" has three stars for its wonderful index and five stars for its innovation index! "
At the same time, many media in North America have also reported on the alien monster movie "King Kong". Qifeng has risen and defeated the monster movie "Prehistoric Python" launched by Mina Pictures at the same time!
The old and beautiful people are proud, especially those in Hollywood, who have always been self-centered. They have such confidence because the Hollywood film industry has already matured.
But similarly, many media and film critics have been upset with these people for a long time. Especially film critics.
In fact, Hollywood has been criticized for lack of innovation in recent years. It has lost the courage to innovate. Almost half of the films released by all film and television companies each year are sequels, and the rest are almost all adaptations. In terms of innovation, it is really lackluster.
But everyone knows that for Hollywood, the production cost of movies is getting higher and higher, so this also means that the risk is getting bigger and bigger.
Although a large number of sequels and adaptations do lack innovation, they are more stable and can greatly reduce risks.
While innovation is important, but innovation means uncertainty. Can audiences accept innovation?
With the cost of hundreds of millions of moving turns, they also began to lose the courage to innovate. This is what the film critics and the media said right.
But this is determined by the market.
Courageous people are almost dead. It turns out that most innovative films have succeeded, but the probability is obviously lower than those of sequels and those adapted films.
In fact, Hollywood filmmakers and film companies are confident, because in the past few years, there have been few foreign films in the North American market that have truly succeeded.
Therefore, they are arrogant.
The emergence of "King Kong" Qifeng, defeating "Prehistoric Python", can be said to be a blow to them. Perhaps this still can't change their conservative thinking, but it will definitely bring a certain impact.
Because the North American film market is a mature market.
The failure of "Prehistoric Anaconda" means that the old routines of monster movies are no longer popular, and monster movies that have been eaten all over the world have gradually ceased to be liked by audiences.
They began to like more innovative monster movies.
Such as "King Kong"!
""King Kong", the most romantic monster movie, is actually made in China!"
"The monster from China defeated the monster in North America. Hollywood should wake up!"
"They (Chinese people) are innovating bravely, but we (Hollywood filmmakers) are still complacent, "Prehistoric Python" is the proof!"
"This week's box office champion, made by the Chinese monster "King Kong"!"
"King Kong" won the box office championship of the week with a slight advantage, which can be said to have caused the old and American media to turn back one after another.
For a time, "King Kong" was in the limelight for a while!
In fact, the biggest reason is that there is a monster movie "Prehistoric Python" from Mina Pictures in the same period. Contrast can only hurt.
Compared to the old-fashioned "Prehistoric Python", it is clear that such unusual monster movies as "King Kong" are more popular with audiences.
What is even more surprising is that on Monday, the first working day of "King Kong", the drop in the box office was very insignificant, with a box office of 6.8 million.
