Christine talked a lot about her feelings during the filming of "Moonlight", but once the topic related to Chen Feng, she became very cautious. The lights on the stage lit up one after another, and the host used this way of connecting conversations to introduce several important actors in the film to the audience, interspersed with some tidbits of revelations, and the atmosphere of the entire event was They were all fully mobilized.
Time passes by minute by minute. It was finally the time for the movie to be screened. Chen Feng sat next to the director Uncle Di. He could clearly feel the nervousness of the director who had been chatting and laughing before. "Moonlight" was very famous before it was adapted, and almost everyone was suspicious. , can he, a director who has only directed one excellent film, be able to direct this work with a huge number of fans? Of course, he himself was very nervous. After all, this was his first work, and no one wanted to fail!
The surrounding lights dimmed, and the first thing that appeared at the beginning of the film was the Huayu logo. The picture turned brighter, and the first thing that appeared was Bella, the heroine.
The story of "Moonlight" has twists and turns. Every time it reaches a thrilling point, the theater will always hear low-pitched exclamations from the audience. Chen Feng already knows that he has succeeded. After all, a movie that can attract the audience's full attention is definitely a good movie, right?
Until the movie slowly came to an end, the audience gave warm applause to this new director.
The film¡¯s box office performance declared the film¡¯s huge success, with a box office of $1.7 billion in just one week of release in North America. The European Union and island countries, which were simultaneously launched, also achieved great success, one week after it was released in the European Union. "Moonlight" earned a box office of 200 million U.S. dollars. In the island country, "Moonlight" also earned a box office of 150 million U.S. dollars. In just one week, the box office market reached a box office of 520 million U.S. dollars, firmly occupying the top spot at the box office. Unwavering.
But this is just the beginning.
"The town of Fox in "Moonlight" has a cold blue light, and is damp and cold all year round because of the continuous rain. The mountains on the back of the town are always shrouded in mist. The handsome vampire in the town looks pale. Snow, arrogant and indifferent. Suddenly there is a feeling of goth. I don¡¯t know why. I always think that the temperament of a vampire is most suitable for goths, and it must be a Nordic vampire. I don¡¯t know where I came from. But it seems to be true. This is what I think of when this word is mentioned. Although the film is about teenage love. But the feelings in it, young people will find many elements that resonate with adults. If the inner leakage is still there, it is easy to awaken the feelings you once had. Romantic feelings. Because in this fantasy background of human and ghost love, the love told is actually based on reality. The characters' personalities can also find correspondences in real life. Just like the original work. When the producer Uncle Di talked about the creation of the film In fact, the story can be used as a reference to the real world to a large extent.
"New York Times"
"The love between vampires and girls is a good metaphor for the love state of teenagers. In the film, the male protagonist Edward has to be restrained in his relationship with Bella because he is a vampire."
"It's different from the usual vampire movies or romance movies." Twilight's style is very clean, all pornographic scenes are eliminated, and violence is implicitly conveyed by the camera. Simple, true, and more convincing. A young man who loves so much that he forgets the existence of life and death, the most profound act of love is just a kiss. Like ancient Greek mythology. Tragic and poetic. Another difference from the traditional vampire theme is that although the Cullens in the film are vampires, they are vegetarians who only suck animals and abide by the agreement they made with humans. It gave me a better understanding of vampires. Despite their distance, they share many of the best qualities of humans. He even has a sense of family more than many humans, because of Edward's love for Bella, the whole family treats her as a relative and protects her. Except for the fact that they cannot change the vampire body given to them by fate, as well as the magical powers and living habits resulting from it, they are no different from human beings and good people.
"Washington Metropolis Daily"
"When "Moonlight" was first promoted, the title given in the movie magazine was "Moonlight". I guess I thought the name sounded a bit negative and depressing, so I changed it later. Vampires' yin energy belongs to darkness, so they cannot be exposed to the sun. You can only go out to play baseball in the evening when there is wind and rain. This scene is very humane. The vampires fell in love with playing baseball, a national entertainment in the United States. The vampire in my impression is very beautiful. Therefore, all the families in the movie are exceptionally beautiful. The best one is Edward, who is handsome. He is so pale that only vampires can have bloodless face. He is still the focus of people's attention because of his charm, which makes our heroine fascinated. She is so fascinated that she just wants to die and stay with him forever and become an immortal vampire. Love makes the young people who feel it become willful and impulsive, and the love between the two goes from falling in love at first sight to gradually falling in love with each other after contact. The suspicions of each other arise due to close contact, and then they express their feelings to each other and resolve them.After a while, the two fell completely in love, and then Bella, who was in danger, was rescued by her lover at a critical juncture. As a result, the two experienced life and death, and their relationship became more stable and their love became more intense. Ghost stories, the whole story is not very exciting, but as a love story, at least the love process is complete without any abruptness. Love makes Bella feel that she wants to become a vampire like Edward. Near the end of the movie, if Edward hadn't returned to his senses at the end, she would have almost got her wish after being bitten. This was not mentioned in the movie, but it was mentioned in the suspense magazine. When a person is about to die, the critical step before his neck is eaten before becoming a vampire is called "first embrace." After experiencing the "first embrace", he officially becomes a vampire. The vampire-like character in the movie, Tusheng, is the helper The person who is near death experiences the role of "first embrace". Our family calls themselves vegetarian vampires. This family can coexist harmlessly and peacefully with humans. This also causes them and non-vegetarian vampires to have dramatic demands for dealing with human issues. This conflict leads to the story. This is the backbone of the story, and this is the touching love story between man and ghost. It is an upgraded version of "The Love between Man and Ghost" in the new century. ""China Television News"
"Moonlight" has only been released for a week, and it has already received 520 million in box office in the movie box office market. With the box office in South America, Australia and other places, the global box office has grossed 600 million U.S. dollars. Huayu Company was laughing from ear to ear. Sixty million US dollars is not a small amount, even in the new year. This box office can definitely be ranked in the top 50 global movie box office rankings. It is not compared with any year but with the box office of all movies in history.
Moreover, this is only a week. According to this momentum, it is not a problem for the global box office to exceed one billion US dollars. You must know that even DreamWorks has only five movies that have exceeded one billion US dollars in box office. And before, only five movies have exceeded one billion US dollars in box office. There are two movies, and one is "Zhu Xian", which was released the year before and was a powerful mess. Even now, it still ranks first at the box office. The second is "Dusk", which was released last year, with a US box office of nearly 380 million and a global box office of 1.8 billion.
Whether the emergence of "Moonlight" can break the box office myth of "Zhu Xian" is a very complicated issue, and no one can say for sure.
Regarding the unexpectedly good box office of "Moonlight", the senior management of Huayu Company felt overwhelmed and overjoyed. You must know that Huayu Company has not seen such a good box office movie for a long time, even if the box office of "Moonlight" was not as good as before. If it continues to grow, "Moonlight" will definitely be in the top five at the box office.
Huayu Company¡¯s first reaction was to make a sequel, but the sequel is still in Chen Feng¡¯s head and it hasn¡¯t come out yet. Even if he wanted to make it, there was nothing he could do, which made him feel depressed.
Ever since "Moonlight" became a hit, it has been compared with the equally popular "The Magician". From the comparison of the initial sales to the comparison of the box office of the adapted script, before that, "The Magician" has already There are two movies released, with a total box office of more than 1.8 billion US dollars. If it wants to surpass "The Magician" in the total box office, "Moonlight" still has a long way to go, but "Moonlight" is the first movie and has just been released. With a global box office of US$600 million, he announced his strong attack, which brought him a step closer to the box office comparison with "The Magician".
Although there is currently only one book in the "Moonlight" series, it has always been compared with the "Wizard" series. Now the movie box office is also the same. The newly released "Moonlight" has an impressive weekly box office of over 600 million. It was a good start, reaping huge box office and prestige, but it also put huge psychological pressure on subsequent films. The film market in a year is only so big, and the more you share, the less others will share.
As far as Chen Feng knows, this year's "The Magician 3" only costs nearly 800 million US dollars. If it insists on competing with "Moonlight", I'm afraid it will be completely destroyed.
And it's not just a comparison of box office figures, but also a comparison of profitability. Although the "Magician" series is good at the box office, the cost is also high, often hundreds of millions. Plus the shares of the major theater chains, the actual cost In the end, Warner's net profit was only 100 or 200 million, but "Moonlight" is different. "Moonlight" is definitely a low-budget or mid-budget movie in comparison, only tens of millions. , plus the publicity costs, after the theater chain divides it, it can still get 300 to 400 million yuan. This is only the first week, there will only be more to come.
Of course, the more box office there is, the happier Chen Feng will be. According to the original regulations, Huayu can get 40% of the box office, which is definitely a super high box office share. (To be continued)
