My Attic Connects To Other Worlds - v2 Chapter 141
It is said that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and this sentence has been proven wrong in many cases.
But that also depends on how fragrant the wine is.
As far as “Three-body 1” is concerned, the problem of deep alleys is not much.
In fact, several major Hollywood publishers have had negotiations with Wang Huan early on.
Even if the film hasn’t come out yet, there are already filmmakers vying for the right to distribute it as an agency. This is a treatment that other Chinese-language films cannot get, and they are all big publishers, all Hollywood giants.
Not only in Hollywood, but also in other parts of the world, it is all the giants who come to talk.
It’s just that at the beginning, we talked about buyout contracts.
It is a sum of money to directly buy out all distribution rights in a certain market.
For example, in the North American market, the trilogy has reached a maximum of 120 million US dollars, of course, including the right to sell optical discs.
Don’t underestimate this number, it’s already an unprecedented high price.
120 million U.S. dollars, which means that the total box office of the three movies is more than 200 million U.S. dollars, and a large number of CDs have to be sold to barely protect the capital.
This is already a huge gamble for the Hollywood giants.
It is entirely due to Wang Huan’s high profile in North America, as well as the huge influence of the three-body system.
After all, two years ago, Wang Huan made a lot of trouble in the United States, and countless people still remember it.
Not to mention that the three-body series has created a sales miracle in the United States. I don’t know how many people have read this book.
Of course, the most important thing is the bet between Wang Huan and the President of the United States.
The influence is amazing.
No one knows, no one knows.
It is precisely because of this that the distribution giants in North America are willing to spend 120 million to purchase the distribution rights and audiovisual rights of the three films.
But Wang Huan refused, and he directly asked for a box office share.
At that time, the other party directly said: “Mr. Wang Huan, if you talk about sharing, it will be very unfavorable for you. Our enthusiasm may not be so high. If it is a buyout, the company may be desperate to promote in order to recover the cost.”
But Wang Huan resolutely adopted a share system.
As for the publisher, Wang Huan chose Sony in the end.
It’s not because he is from Japan, but the distribution giant has a good relationship with the Chinese film industry, because it is the most active in entering the Chinese market.
More than half a year ago, people from Sony also came to see the first internal screening of Sansei 1.
After watching it, I shook my head and said directly: Mr. Wang Huan, American audiences have become accustomed to the first-class special effects scenes. Your film has lost in the North American market. We will only open at 1,500 venues at most.
In fact, this number of openings is already very good.
The heroes with the best scores were barely 1,000 at the beginning. At that time, there was the wind of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
In the other world, the movies that have created miracles in China, such as “Nezha” and “Operation Red Sea”, have only three or four hundred screening venues in North America, and most of them are in the Chinese area.
Therefore, the arrogance of the North American market can be imagined!
And it was the second screening.
Three people from Sony’s distributor also came.
After watching the finished film, they stayed completely.
I can’t believe that there are people in this world who can produce movies, special effects and pictures that can surpass Hollywood.
It’s terrifying!
Then, they only said one sentence and quickly rip and copy, the more the better, the more the better.
Next, Sansei 1 created an unprecedented record in the Chinese market.
At the first weekend, it was equivalent to 30 million U.S. dollars.
Box office in the first week, equivalent to 43 million U.S. dollars.
The most frightening thing was the box office curve of the following week, which had a surprisingly inverse decline.
These news also reached the North American market.
But the collective reaction of the American media and the audience is just that.
“The self-esteem within China, a patriotic marketing.”
“The Chinese are cheating, and the government is helping Wang Huan win the box office, trying to beat the “Star Wars” trilogy.”
“All of us know that the internal screening more than half a year ago was a disaster. The person in charge of Industrial Light and Magic also went to see the film and said that the special effects and graphics were extremely bad. And half a year, they It’s amazing to be able to complete the production with bad results, and there is no improvement at all. But it is such a bad movie that broke an unprecedented box office record in the Chinese market. It is really a great sadness. I should say the Chinese. Too patriotic, or do they have not seen a good movie?”
“Later I learned that there is actually a very magical behavior in their country, which is to book a venue. Governments at all levels will come out and organize people from all units and schools to watch the movie.”
“So, this is how the box office miracle of Three Body 1 in China was born.”
“Moreover, Wang Huan tried to use the so-called box office miracle in China to stimulate the North American and global markets. He is too naive. Americans have watched movies for more than a hundred years. We have the best ability to distinguish. Deceived by your low-level tricks.”
“On July 25, I will buy a ticket to watch as soon as possible, and it will be IMAX3D, waiting for my review report.”
“Love your film critic, John Connor.”
This is an article by a famous film critic, of course, almost all of the United States has similar voices.
Distributor Sony wanted to conduct public relations at first, but later found that the sound was too loud, so he simply gave up and let the film quality prove everything.
After a series of trade-offs and negotiations.
Finally, “Three-body 1” opened in 2,800 venues in North America.
This is an unprecedented treatment, and it is absolutely super-luxury for foreign films.
Even when “Hero” won the weekly box office championship, it was only released in 2000 venues.
The opening of 2,800 stores is already Sony’s great handwork and courage.
In North America, there is also a tradition of zero field.
However, there will be no large-scale screenings at zero, and there will not be too many audiences, unless it is some super popular Hollywood masterpiece.
Therefore, the zero field premiere of Trisola 1 was just so-so.
Sony once persuaded Wang Huan to hold a vigorous premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and invite a lot of stars to come.
The most important thing is that Wang Huan must be present, and even Sony is willing to pay the money.
But Wang Huan refused.
In Sony’s eyes, Wang Huan is too stubborn.
Therefore, this movie does not have a starry premiere, and it seems a little deserted.
Even if Americans are curious, they are reluctant to watch a Chinese-language movie in the middle of the night.
Therefore, the attendance of this zero-point field is really just so-so.
Around 15%.
It’s not bad, but it’s definitely not good.
Those who can watch this movie at this time are either **** fans of Trisola, or want to see how bad it is, or they are professional film critics, such as John Connor.
Another example is many media reporters who want to vote for the Rotten Tomatoes Index.
Seriously, they are indeed a little unbearable.
And it’s upset.
Because this film did not have an English dubbing, the copy was too late to be dubbed.
Of course, there is a small part of English in the plot, but most of it is in Chinese.
So almost all the time, you have to watch the subtitles.
This feeling is too unpleasant to concentrate on.
but……
They were stunned almost not long after the movie started.
Because the 3D effect is so amazing, it surpasses all existing Hollywood movies.
And the colors of these pictures are great.
These real-time shots are too impactful.
When the first special effects scene, the one and a half minute-long Trisolaran planet catastrophe, after the scene that stretched for hundreds of miles in the end, was played.
The audience was shocked.
Next, I was shocked again.
Qin Shihuang’s millions of army human flesh computers.
Finally, completely dumbfounded.
The nine-dimensional proton unfolded and turned into a huge two-dimensional plane. During the whole process, several civilizations within the proton were destroyed and counterattack was carried out, which brought a huge impact to the Trisolaran civilization.
In the end, the circuit is printed on a two-dimensional plane and transformed into a computer.
This magical scene really stuns everyone, unprecedented movie magic.
The end of the movie!
The great migration of the Trisolaran civilization.
The huge Trisolaran fleet, mighty, covering the sky, flying towards the earth.
At this point, the first movie of Three Body is over.
The audience stood still.
There is no menu next, it’s just a list of cast and crew members, for a whole few minutes.
But almost everyone is sitting in place.
After all the subtitles were finished, the audience applauded.
The Chinese market is extremely enthusiastic about this film, and it is extremely sought after. After the film is over, very few people applaud.
But in the North American market, it received applause.
Of course it’s not that North American audiences are better, but because Chinese audiences love this movie more.
I love it so much that I don’t want to use the formulaic form of applause. I just go home and post and call me crazy to recommend.
……………………………
After film critic John Connor went home, he wrote a blog post.
First, he uploaded a photo.
He prepared a big bucket filled with ice cubes and water, and poured it from the top.
“I was wrong, Mr. Wang Huan, I formally apologize to you.”
“The box office miracle in the Chinese market is true, and it is not the result of a government charter.”
“This movie is a miracle of this era. I have nothing to say about the plot, because it was too shocking, which made me constantly distracted and missed a lot of the plot.”
“But I just want to say that the special effects technology shown in this movie has surpassed that of Hollywood for two decades.”
“Yes, we are behind.”
“Even, I would call it movie magic.”
……………………………………
There are almost countless film reviews like John Connor.
The most fascinating thing is a film review by a scientist.
“I am a PhD from the University of Southern California, a physical scientist.”
“I went to watch this movie with a high spirit, I wanted to see how many mistakes it made.”
“Then I was preached.”
“There was a person in the movie who taught me about space and latitude. After I watched it, I just realized it suddenly, the inspiration broke out, and I was shocked.”
“The latitude spread in it, I don’t know if it’s correct. But it’s at least a few decades ahead of our existing research.”
“Our school is in a meeting and intends to use this special effects scene as a part of the research textbook.”
“Of course, this requires Mr. Wang Huan’s consent, and we are applying.”
Of course, this is not Wang Huan’s credit. Even the original version of the movie in 2035, the scenes of the nine-dimensional proton unfolding are full of errors.
But after Wen Xingxing’s modification, it is hard to tell whether it is completely correct.
However, in the study of latitude space, it is at least ahead of the world for dozens of hundreds of years.
Therefore, the special effects of this picture instantly conquered many physicists.
…………………………………………
Of course, the media in North America is not as crazy as China.
But… it’s hot enough and amazing.
The first thing that comes out is the Rotten Tomatoes Index.
The freshness of rotten tomatoes is astonishing 95%.
The score of IMDB was followed by 9.0 points.
In an instant, the entire movie market was in a complete uproar.
This… This score is too exaggerated.
On the Rotten Tomatoes Index, 95% is already ranked very high. Most of them are scored by film critics. They will evaluate a movie more comprehensively, even the pictures and special effects can bring good results. Freshness index.
The IMDB score is very, very demanding.
“Titanic” sweeps the global market, IMDB score is 7.7 points.
Just 7.7 points.
In another world, “Avatar”, which has set numerous box office records, only scored 7.8 points.
IMDB’s scoring focuses more on the plot, as well as the so-called profound themes and so on.
So Xiao Shengke’s salvation, the godfather, vulgar novels, etc., can get super high scores.
Basically, being able to score 8 points or more in IMDB can be regarded as a godsend to some extent.
And “Three Body 1” turned out to have a score of 9.0, which directly reached the top five of the IMDB overall list. To put it more directly, it is the fourth place in the overall list.
This is the historical chart, which summarizes almost all the movies.
This… is too scary.
Of course, this score may drop next.
And to some extent, because he is a foreign language film, the previous expectations were too low, but after watching it, it brought an unparalleled surprise.
The most important thing is that it is not a popcorn blockbuster.
He is not like “Transformers”, it is not even like “Avatar”.
It is a very deep movie.
And to a certain extent, it’s not even friendly to the audience, and there are often large sections of show off.
But it was this that conquered the most demanding fans in North America.
That’s why at the beginning of the game, an astonishing 9.0 IMDB score appeared.
Soon the box office data on July 25 came out.
8 million US dollars.
This data is very good!
But to some extent, this data is also mediocre.
It’s very good because it was Wednesday, and this score has surpassed all previous Chinese-made films.
The hero’s first weekend box office for three days is only 18 million US dollars.
But when the hero opened in the first week, there were only more than 1,000 venues, only half of “Three Body 1.”
Experts from Sony Pictures predict that it is estimated that North American audiences feel that they have been left out by Wang Huan, so they have psychological rejection.
Because not long before the release, Wang Huan announced that it will be released on July 18 in China and July 25 at the earliest in other markets around the world.
So the audience in North America is proud of it. It’s not rare for us to see you like this.
Therefore, the box office in North America on the first day of course was pretty good.
But…lower than Sony Pictures expected.
It shouldn’t be this number.
This movie is so good and so cool, it should be very popular in the North American market.
Moreover, it has such a high degree of popularity that everyone knows.
After the first day’s box office data came out, major US institutions immediately made predictions.
“Three Body 1” had a box office of 26 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America, and a final box office of 80 million US dollars.
Are the forecasts of these institutions accurate?
To be honest, it is very accurate. The actual box office data of 90% of the movies is basically in line with the forecast.
If the final box office is $80 million, it is still a super good result, surpassing Hero North America’s $50 million box office.
But…for Wang Huan, it was a complete failure.
Sony Pictures, the publisher, will also be extremely disappointed.
Because according to their estimates, the box office of this film in North America should be about 150 million, which will exceed the 128 million of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
Because its popularity is too high, and the quality of the film is too good.
But now with this expressiveness, it is difficult to surpass Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
As for the comparison with “Star Wars Prequel”, that’s not to mention it.
However, the box office data for Thursday came out.
Countless people were shocked.
Box office in North America on Thursday, $11 million.
This… This is a bit scary!
This kind of curve is a bit demon.
Immediately afterwards, the box office came out on Friday, with $16 million.
Sony Pictures, cheers.
It was a success, the film was a success.
Then, Saturday’s box office data came out, 23 million U.S. dollars.
Sony Pictures, the publisher, couldn’t help it, and directly held a celebration party internally.
And it has begun to discuss with major theaters to increase the number of films.
The number of museums opened next week will directly soar to 4000, which is completely the treatment of A-level large-scale production.
As for whether this will make the President of the United States lose?
Sorry, maybe one day, US capital interests will unite once again to suppress.
but not now.
Now, let’s make the money first.
In the capital market, no one and money can’t make it through.
When the box office came out on Sunday, everyone was speechless.
Even the issuer himself was completely shocked.
Box office on Sunday, 25 million US dollars.
Sunday turned out to be higher than Saturday, and this curve is coming again.
This enchanting curve is here again.
There was another reverse decline.
On Monday, Sony Pictures officially announced the box office data of “Three Body 1”.
The box office for three days in the first weekend was $64 million.
Box office in the first week, 83 million US dollars.
The entire North American market was in a complete uproar, and the whole world was completely shocked.
The most terrifying thing is not this box office data, but the box office curve it shows.
An unprecedented evildoer.
All the institutions dare not predict what their final box office will be.

There is also the benefactor of the monthly pass, don’t want to keep it, vote for me! Jianghu, please help me, I will bow to you.
