Chapter 668 The Hot Summer Season!
"Batman: The Dark Knight" has been released for only three days, and it has already set off a crazy wave of movie watching!
It has to be said that with the rise of Changan Film and Television Company in recent days, the entire film industry has ushered in a golden period. The films directed by Lin Qiu, Zhou Kai, and Ye Zhiyuan have successively exceeded 10 billion box office, and the films directed by Lin Qiu have presented box office miracles again and again.
Almost every morning, the expected box office of "Batman: The Dark Knight" will usher in a super rise, and you can imagine how terrible the word of mouth is.
What's more terrifying is that the success of this superhero film is not only due to the word of mouth of the audience. You know, although superhero films have always been the strongest box office performance, they have never been seen by mainstream media and professionals in the film industry.
Looking at the performance of the Marvel series at the Oscars, even if the box office of the Marvel series has reached an astonishing level, it still has no strong competitiveness in front of films like "Witness for the Prosecution" and "Titanic".
This "Batman: The Dark Knight" is also a first-time movie professional media. They have overwhelmingly recognized superhero movies. They even started to promote it shortly after the Oscars this year, saying that this movie will be the most powerful favorite for the best picture at the Oscars next year!
With praise from various media, word of mouth from thousands of fans, and Lin Qiu's consistent directing ability, it can be said that "Batman: The Dark Knight" has met all the conditions for high box office!
The box office is naturally a big hit.
It's a pity that the momentum at the beginning was not as strong as "Titanic", otherwise the pre-sale would be higher, and it would be able to impact the box office record of film history created by "Titanic" not long ago.
But even if it can't be broken, according to this momentum, 40 billion to 45 billion global box office is still possible.
As for the influence of this movie and the degree of madness of fans, it can be said that it has reached an unprecedented level...
You know, in the past, even high-grossing movies, such as "Titanic", were considered over after watching the movie, but Batman and Joker are different. There are too many fanatical fans!
In addition to the Movie software, other movie rating software in Kyushu also gave scores to "The Dark Knight" one after another. Although the scores were already very high and close to full marks, the fanatical "Batman" fans still wanted to make the score of "The Dark Knight" on each software the first!
This situation is very similar to the situation in the previous life, and the result is a war between fans!
Of course, Lin Qiu didn't pay too much attention to these things. Just when "Batman" was being screened, Lin Qiu flew to Xizhou and met with Li Jie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to discuss the script of "The Shawshank Redemption" and the direction of the actors' interpretation, the role of Li Jie, etc.
In this last movie before the break, Lin Qiu will strive for perfection and do every detail to the best.
...
The box office of Changan Film and Television Company's movies really made film and television companies all over the world jealous.
Damn, this movie is worth 10 billion, and Changan is the distributor. The money earned is simply astronomical. Who wouldn't be jealous?
Especially in the Xiazhou film industry, the emergence of Changan Film and Television Company has begun to change the structure of the Xiazhou film market. Before the rise of Changan Film and Television Company, the types of Xiazhou movies were actually quite single, especially comedies.
But since Changan Film and Television Company has driven the development of the film industry, there are more than one big-budget science fiction movies now, but the results are relatively average.
When it comes to big productions, most people actually think of science fiction and special effects, because only in this way will it cost a lot of money, but science fiction movies basically can't be as popular as "Titanic".
In the past, a director said something like this: garbage audiences create garbage film markets.
This statement is actually controversial.
Since there is controversy, there is no way to say right or wrong for sure. After all, the audience's right to choose is in their own hands. You say that most audiences' taste in watching movies is not good enough.
But in the film industry, there has never been a saying that bad money drives out good money.
There may be so-called "low-taste" movies that get high box office.
But truly wonderful and excellent movies, especially in today's information age, will not have bad box office.
The science fiction market is not a small market. Looking at the overall global movie box office, you can see that there are more than one science fiction movie at the top. After "The Dark Knight", the science fiction movie "Interstellar" created by Lin Qiu and Changan at a huge cost is even more anticipated by fans around the world.
…
The box office of "The Dark Knight" and the global Batman craze are still boiling.
With the arrival of June, Xiazhou has also entered the summer season in July and August. This season is usually the busiest season in Xiazhou. Some popular TV series will even give up the opportunity to be broadcast during the Spring Festival and move to the summer season.
This year's summer season is really exciting.
After the hit of "My Fair Princess" after the Spring Festival, almost all women in Xiazhou are looking forward to "The Legend of Zhen Huan" which will be launched on all platforms in the summer season.
At the same time, the styles of the Qing Dynasty palace dramas, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "My Fair Princess" are fundamentally different.
Strictly speaking, "My Fair Princess" is an idol drama, while "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a palace drama.
The former focuses on describing the twists and turns of love, which is more exaggerated, while the latter focuses on depicting the inner palace struggles, which is more realistic.
And according to the tastes of modern audiences, Lin Qiu believes that the reputation of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will definitely be better.
In the previous life, Lin Qiu, as an industry insider, watched this drama when it was just broadcast. I have to say that it is really detailed. The film crew has made great efforts to restore history, and the plot is also in line with historical facts.
It can be said that the details of life and language of the people in the Qing Dynasty are directly restored, which is magnificent and has a heavy sense of history.
So much so that ten years later, when you go to the Forbidden City for tourism, the tour guide will tell you the story of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in the Forbidden City.
In the TV series, the queen is kind-hearted but evil-hearted. She harms concubines and heirs, but she loves the emperor deeply, which is hateful and pathetic.
Hua Fei is arrogant and domineering but makes people sympathize. An Lingrong, who entered the palace at the same time as Zhen Huan, is cautious and calculating, but in the end she is laughed at as a plaything.
Even Zhen Huan, the final winner, eventually lost her lover and sisters, and had to die alone in the harem.
Although it is a palace drama that female audiences will love to watch, in fact, it reflects the sadness of women in the feudal period to a certain extent. This palace is like a cage, trapping everyone.
This is the biggest difference from "My Fair Princess".
After watching "My Fair Princess", at least the first half of the plot, many viewers want to travel back and live that kind of wanton romantic life. In fact, it is not just "My Fair Princess". Most of the ancient puppets in Xiazhou now shape the palace into a dance and singing stage similar to talented men and beautiful women.
But in fact, the palace is cruel.
The feudal system in Xiazhou since ancient times has destined the struggle for imperial power in the palace to be the real politics!
With such a large interaction of interests, how can there be peace?
For the women in the harem, favor represents power. They not only fight for themselves, but also for their families and children. If one person succeeds, the whole family will rise to heaven. There are so many things involved behind the scenes. The palace drama in the harem attracts audiences in this way.
…
The first four episodes of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" did not show the cruelest side of the palace fight to the audience, but it has already revealed some clues.
In the story of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Zhen Huan, as the eldest daughter of Zhen Yuandao, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was chosen by the emperor to enter the palace and was named a concubine.
The harem of the Qing Dynasty was divided into eight levels, including the empress, the imperial concubine, the concubine, the concubine, the concubine, the noble lady, the concubine, and the concubine. In fact, it seems to be an emperor's harem, but it is a political arena.
And although modern men envy the life of the emperor's three wives and four concubines in the harem, in fact, the emperor is not so comfortable even when he visits. He always counts the time and the eunuchs wait and see.
Once the specified time is exceeded, the eunuchs will urge you, and they may even say to you:
"Your Majesty~"
"The dragon's health is important~"
Look at the story of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to know that the emperor is as busy as an ox and horse, and he can't even have the slightest pleasure when he visits, and he has to face the competition for favor in the harem, which is a headache.
The reason why the audience gradually saw the clues of the harem struggle is that the verbal battles between the concubines in the harem are so exciting, every word is bloody and every sentence is full of thorns!
Those so-called palace maids and servants, their lives are simply not lives!
…
Continuing the crazy ratings of "My Fair Princess", the ratings of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" have exploded since the first day!
Although some female netizens on the Internet oppose the content of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the ratings are enough to prove everything.
The hot broadcast data of all platforms have reached the No. 1 in history!
In fact, in modern ancient puppet dramas, including "My Fair Princess", the originally unequal relationship between the male and female protagonists will be shaped into a modern equal relationship between the sexes. But in ancient times, especially about the love of people in the palace, it is difficult to achieve equality, because since ancient times, Xiazhou has been adhering to the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, and even today, it is still involved.
But it must be said that this is the real Qing palace drama.
A palace where the emperor is absolutely dominated, and even the queen and concubines can only obey absolutely.
Of course, the reason why "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is so popular is not because of its closeness to history, cruelty and reality. The most direct reason is...
Zhen Huan's life is a legendary life.
The process of this life itself is very exciting!
Let's not talk about the historical Zhen Huan, let's talk about the Zhen Huan in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", who is sensible, smart and talented, and has political prospects.
At the age of 17, she first entered the palace and her wisdom began to emerge.
At the age of 18 and 19, she experienced ups and downs in the palace, including a miscarriage.
At the age of 20, she finished growing up, became stronger, began to rise, actively participated in the power struggle in the harem, used her own strategies, cooperated with the emperor, consolidated her position in the harem, and regained his favor!
After experiencing a period of turmoil, she returned to the palace at the age of 24!
Until the age of 34, the emperor was angry to death and Zhen Huan became the empress dowager.
Which audience would not be upset after watching such a script?
Zhen Huan has come a long way, from a little show girl to the empress dowager. No matter how many storms she encountered, she never gave in. With her wisdom and tenacity, she has overcome one difficulty after another and finally reached the pinnacle of power!
The real climax of this drama has not yet arrived, but the ratings are already so terrible. It is conceivable that once this 80-episode TV series reaches its climax, countless female viewers in Xiazhou will be immersed in the excitement of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
…
This hot summer season starts with "The Dark Knight" and is followed by "The Legend of Zhen Huan"!
What follows is the much-anticipated work of Lao Zei, the release of the second season of "Dragon Ball" and the latest two novels!
Needless to say, the second season of "Dragon Ball" has a huge influence on the world after the first season of "Dragon Ball" was broadcast during the Spring Festival. "Dragon Ball" fans around the world are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the second season.
After all, the opening plot of the second season has been known to anime fans in advance, that is, another world's first martial arts tournament! !
Sure enough, when the familiar world's first martial arts tournament arrived, anime fans all over the world contributed their cheers. The only pity is that in this martial arts tournament, Goku did not win the championship again! !
"Aaaaaaaa! Lost!"
"Lost to Tien Shinhan!"
"Oh my god!"
"Sure enough, old thief! He won't let Goku win the Tenkaichi Budokai easily..."
"Third time is better than last time, I feel like it's going to happen again!"
"Damn, I'm tired of the same plot in other works, but in old thief's works, I wish it could happen ten times again."
For some reason, the concept of the Tenkaichi Budokai, coupled with the excellent fighting portrayal, has made this plot almost a signature of "Dragon Ball".
At the beginning of the second season, Goku, who has been practicing alone for three years, participates in the Tenkaichi Budokai again, and Turtle Hermit's mortal enemy Crane Hermit also brings his apprentice Tien Shinhan to participate!
After a contest, Tien Shinhan and Goku meet in the finals as fate would have it!
This battle can be said to be the most exciting anime battle these anime fans have ever seen. Many of the previous hot-blooded works of old thief were with magic and special effects, but the fighting portrayal of this "Dragon Ball" is completely different, it can be said to be hearty!
At the end of this battle, Tien Shinhan destroyed the entire platform with his Qigong cannon. Goku jumped into the air and knocked out Tien Shinhan who was floating in the air with the Air Dance Technique. In the end, he was defeated because he fell onto a car outside the arena first, and unfortunately lost the championship of this World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament.
Throughout the second season of "Dragon Ball", Goku will grow up again. Although there is still a long way to go before the appearance of Super Saiyan, the plot of Piccolo Great Demon King is also very exciting!
This boiling summer season has gradually reached its climax with the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Dragon Ball"!
