Chapter 647 Victory in the first battle ([-])

After the box office data came out that night, "Castle in the Sky" ranked No. 500 with more than 3 million US dollars. This result is both unexpected and reasonable.

Thanks to the communication and coordination of Huaying Group and the absence of very strong movie releases this weekend, "Laputa in the Sky" got a good rate of filming and was screened in more than 2000 theaters.

Coupled with the efforts of Tonghua Animation and Beimi Branch to promote and build momentum, such achievements did not surprise Lin Qirong.

"The key is to watch tomorrow." Lin Qirong and Xiao Yunfang said, "After the premiere, people will rate and characterize the movie according to their own impressions, and media reporters who rely on movie reviews for a living will also focus on these movies that have just been released. These will directly determine the future box office trend of the movie.”

Xiao Yunfang frowned slightly, "This is not good for us, the reporters are very unfriendly to us tonight."

Lin Qirong shook his head, "It's normal to look down on it, but they can't smear our movie for no reason, because objectively analyzing a movie is the fundamental principle they live on, and they won't change them just because of a movie like ours." position.

Not to mention the audience, there are not so many things to swipe tickets and points here, and the public's evaluation is quite honest, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it, there are not so many twists and turns.

Therefore, if we want to get good results in this place, the most important thing is the quality of our films, otherwise, no amount of publicity will be able to hit the street. "

Xiao Yunfang nodded, "What we insist on is not only recognized by everyone in Huaxia, but also here."

"Of course, people like to see good movies, and they feel the same about bad movies, and there will be no difference because they are Chinese or American.

Even audiences in the United States are more objective and rational. They pay more attention to acting skills, special effects, plots, and even pictures and sound effects. They don’t pay much attention to actors. "

Xiao Yunfang laughed lightly, "Are you sarcastic?"

Lin Qirong shrugged, but did not answer.

In fact, even in China, if an actor has no acting skills, he may be able to do better in a TV series. If he wants to challenge a movie, he will definitely have to fight. No matter how popular he is or how good-looking his face is, it doesn't matter.

This is the reason why the sci-fi film just released hit the street. Unfortunately, many people don't see this. They are always superstitious about the popularity and traffic brought by these little fresh meat.



The next day, the box office and reviews for several of the weekend's premieres came out, with entertainment reporters scrambling to critique the week's new releases.

A notoriously tongue-in-cheek movie critic has continued his style on his social networking site.

The few newly released movies have been sprayed out by him from plot to special effects, acting skills, soundtrack, modeling, etc.

"In the past, it was impossible for such movies to be released, because they were really eye-catching. Watching these movies is simply insulting the IQ of our audience and cheating our audience of money openly.

But why is this happening now?It's very simple, there are no good movies, so these bad movies can also be released to make money.

We can count, there are not many movies that can be called good movies every year. Apart from the sequels of various superhero movies and the works of a few big directors, what other good movies have we seen?Whether it is a science fiction film or a war film, whether it is a comedy or a horror film, in addition to cheating money or cheating money. "

"In contrast, I want to praise a movie, "Castle in the Sky", an animated movie from China. Originally, I had no interest in animated movies, let alone a movie produced by China. At that time, I was thinking Besides kung fu movies, what other animated films can China produce?
But because I am responsible for my profession, I made a special trip to watch this animated movie, and I accidentally saw the only movie that made me feel good this weekend.

This movie is about the adventures of the protagonists, the girl Hilda and the boy Baru, as well as pirates, the army, Muska, etc. looking for the city of Laputa in the sky. "The plot can be seen in a similar form in many film and television works, so it is difficult to hide the possibility of "mediocre".

But to my surprise, this movie also restores us the development history of an ancient civilization - from the initial idyllic pastoral, to the later industrial revolution, and the process of migrating to the sky after developing the technology of the sky city .But in the end, human beings returned to the earth again and lived an idyllic life.

So we can easily come up with what the creators want to tell: pollution and war.

The former is the reason for the migration of human beings to the sky, while the latter is the reason for the end of the Sky City era.

Pollution and war are also two major problems that plague the development of our modern society. On this point, the author gives a clear point of view: oppose war and love nature.

Because of this ideological connotation, this animated movie is full of humanistic care, and it can be called a very good movie. In my opinion, it is better than most of the movies this weekend.

There is another thing I particularly like, that is the soundtrack in this movie, the beautiful melody that makes people cry and the beautiful melody that makes you cry, it interprets a sad story for us, it is very touching, and it also adds color to this movie Not a lot.

To sum up, this is a rare movie that makes people think after watching it. "

This film critic's evaluation of "Castle in the Sky" is surprising. You must know that it is very difficult to draw good conclusions from him, and he will always pick out various faults.

And the movies that he thinks are good are basically those with good box office and word of mouth.

How could this animated movie be able to make him think so?
Compared with the objectivity of these film critics, the audience's evaluation of this movie is even higher. On the most authoritative Guava.com, "Laputa in the Sky" has a score of nine points, which is very picky for American audiences. , this is already a very high score, which shows everyone's recognition of this movie.

This directly led to more people walking into the cinema the next day to watch this animated movie with such a high rating.

The box office on Saturday soared to more than 800 million.

By Sunday, the number of theaters where "Laputa in the Sky" was screened had risen to more than 3000, and the box office had reached more than 1000 million.

At the box office of the first weekend, "Laputa in the Sky" unexpectedly became the box office champion of this week with a box office of nearly 3000 million. Although it is incomparable with many previous records, it also eclipsed other movies released.

"The first battle was won."

Lin Qirong is very happy with this result. Although it is not comparable to the domestic box office, it is of great significance. This represents the first time that Tonghua Animation's work has been released in North America and achieved good results.

After such results were fed back to Huaxia, it caused quite a stir. This is the first time that a Huaxia film has achieved such a good result in the Beimi area, and it once again set off a wave of people going to the cinema to watch this movie.

Liu Jiansheng, the person in charge of the Beimi branch of Huaying Group, is also very happy. There is a lot of credit for this, and of course they can also earn a lot of commissions from it.

"The key is not this, the key is that we can finally produce domestically produced films." Liu Jiansheng and Lin Qirong said.

"Although our branch is mainly responsible for the introduction of Hollywood movies, this kind of business does not bring us any happiness. What we hope is to be able to operate more of our domestic movies to be released here, so that the audience in Beimi Come see our movies and feel our culture.

It's a pity that such an opportunity may only be once or twice a year, and the results are not very good. The Americans usually look at us with high faces, and that kind of feeling is really uncomfortable. "

Lin Qirong looked at Liu Jiansheng, nodded and smiled, "Yeah, if you fall behind, you can only be beaten. It used to be the same now. Our movies are not good. We can only look at their faces in front of Americans. When will our movies let them If they take the initiative to introduce it and broadcast it, they can sweep their box office, and it probably won’t be like this at that time.”

"This kind of future is really far away." Liu Jiansheng sighed.

"You have to work hard for it, don't you?"

Liu Jiansheng nodded, "Yes, we must work hard for it. One day the scene we are looking forward to will come."

"I also believe so."

With the victory in the first battle, the staff of Tonghua Animation was greatly encouraged, and continued to go to various places to carry out publicity campaigns, hoping to make persistent efforts to obtain better box office.

A week later, the box office of "City in the Sky" exceeded [-] million, becoming the most dazzling movie in this schedule, and it has also become the object of discussion among many Beimi audiences.

The soundtracks of "Laputa in the Sky" also spread and were loved by many audiences.

As the creator of these soundtracks, Lin Qirong’s name has also become familiar to the public, especially after IUTN, the largest music platform in Beimi, signed a contract with Lin Qirong to put his music on its own music platform, and more music was registered on this music platform. platform, heard by many fans.

"First Snow", "Fate", "Memories of the Forbidden City", "Original Scenery of Hometown", "Blessed Lovers", "VITORY", "THE DOWN" and other pure music, "Sword and Sword Like a Dream", "Once Upon a Time", "When You Are" Songs such as "When I Miss You", "Boy", "Need Someone to Accompany", and "The Only" have all become favorites of many audiences.

Lin Qirong has gained a lot of fame in the Beimi area, and I have to say that this is quite a surprise.

Under such circumstances, Lin Qirong received an unexpected invitation.
