The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Of course, Chris Evans is still far away from being a real super giant. After all, "Glory" must also be a series of movies. The status obtained through the series of movies is not so stable after all.

But compared to the past, there has been a huge improvement.

That's fine too.

The only pity for him and his agent now is that when they negotiated the contract with Dimension Entertainment, they didn't fight for more for the sequel...

In his contract, there are also very strict constraints on the remuneration for sequels. His salary will not increase by more than 30%, and he has also signed five long-term contracts...

If it wasn't so, he dared to ask for 30 million yuan for his next movie—that's half of the "Iron Man", what's wrong? a lot?

pity……

No matter how unfortunate Evans is, this matter has become a foregone conclusion.

Dimension Entertainment is not stupid.

Paying 10 million yuan to let Evans play Galen is already costing money. What is important is that a white actor with a certain reputation in the world is needed to leverage the global box office market.

If not, the role of "Galen" does not necessarily have to be played by Evans.

Considering the success of the movie and the sequel, it is necessary to set a limit on the remuneration of the sequel.

Not just Evans, but all the characters, all the actors.

...

The news that "Demacia: Glory" has achieved great success in the global box office market has spread back to China.

The domestic public opinion field, from the people who eat melons to movie fans, and then to the movie circle, climaxed with everyone.

It was even more uproarious than when it was estimated that "Glory" might surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" and become the number one box office in China.

These are two concepts!

Indeed, it is shocking that "Glory" can hit the domestic box office record, and even have a certain chance to reach the total box office of 6 billion.

But that's about it.

In recent years, China's film market has been booming, and the record of high box office has been quickly refreshed again and again in a short period of time. From the incredible record of 2 billion, which is like the sky, to the next 2 to 3 billion is commonplace, the gap of 4 billion is filled, and the highest record is 5.7 billion...

After repeated bombings, the box office of "Demacia: Glory" reached more than 5 billion. Although it is an exaggeration, it is not completely unacceptable.

Anyway, there is a precedent here, and it is conceivable that "Glory" can achieve such results.

But it is a bit too exaggerated to be able to reach the fifth place in film history and predict that the global box office can reach 1.7 billion US dollars.

Even if the domestic box office accounts for a little more than half of it, the rest, the box office data obtained in North America and other parts of the world, is also real.

Especially in North America, the box office is estimated to exceed 300 million or even 400 million in the end, which is beyond the imagination of many people.

It seems that people have already established a concept in their hearts: Made in Hollywood, it is a universal movie and a universal value. However, films made in China only conform to the values ​​of the Chinese people, at best they can only succeed in China, and it is impossible to compete with Hollywood on a global scale.

This may indeed be true.

Over the past century, Hollywood has relied on the hegemony of the United States in the world, and exported their value and culture to almost all regions of the world through advanced film technology.

This is actually very brainwashing.

Few people will admit that they have been brainwashed. Those who say on the Internet that "it is always the Americans who save the world" and "it is not awkward to speak English, but it is awkward to fly when it becomes Chinese" are not unfounded in reality. of.

Take "The Wandering Earth" as an example. I don't want to say much about this film. In terms of overall film quality, it does have a certain gap with "Interstellar" and "The Martian" in terms of film technology and actor performance. However, it is by no means as bad as many people criticize.

Sci-fi movies are always made by Americans. It seems that they really make people feel that they are tall and technological when they speak English, but they are ugly when they speak Chinese; there are obviously some white actors. The skills are not very good, but because the audience in our country has long developed the habit of reading subtitles without understanding the language when watching movies, American TV dramas, and Japanese comics, to the point where it is uncomfortable not to read subtitles. As for ignoring the fact that white actors also have poor line skills. And the same feeling becomes unacceptable when it comes to Chinese actors who speak Chinese.

Even further development, to the point of thinking that saving the world requires white people to save, yellow people, or all people of color, and it is enough to play a supporting role beside them.

There are not a few people who have this idea. In "Wolf Warrior 2", Leng Feng led a few people to single out a group of enemy troops, and was scolded as a fake, YY, brainless patriotic... But don't you see, in "Fast and Furious", the protagonist is obviously a gangster, why? Singled out to fight the elite trained special forces? Fly over two tall buildings in a car? Helicopter drop down? No one said these?

Because those are played by white people, after watching Hollywood movies for so many years, I subtly feel that white people do these things are acceptable and should be taken for granted; It seems that the Chinese can only make excellent movies with themes such as "To Live" and "Farewell My Concubine".

But why?

White supremacy?

Sometimes, as a nation of ours, the body has stood up, but the mind is still kneeling.

"Demacia: Glory" brought a huge shock.

Movies made by Chinese use Western backgrounds. Although most of the actors wear Western-style heavy armor, their faces are Chinese stars.

At this point, many people lashed out at movies and Dimension Entertainment.

What about Western fantasy backgrounds, using Chinese actors to fly awkwardly; why is the way of telling stories so Chinese? Is this the way of thinking of loyalty abroad?

However, this is a minority after all.

Into the movie theater, for the most general audience, how can they care about these things? It's good-looking, cool, and I put my heart and soul into the plot, and the film length of more than two hours passed quickly. After it's over, it's too late to revisit the plot, who has the time to think about it?

The success of "Demacia: Glory" proves that movies produced in China can also be loved by the whole world.

The box office data of more than 300 million US dollars in North America, hitting 400 million US dollars, proves this point; the box office of over 100 million US dollars in Europe proves this point; Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions, "Glory" tops the list, which also proves this point .

The domestic public opinion field completely exploded because of this!
