Chapter 328: Always Living in the Shadow of Arclight Films
Li Qin regrets it now.
When she was in high school, she should have studied classical Chinese well, especially the "Six Kingdoms Theory".
For the sake of temporary peace in the past few days, she promised Meng Bai that she could make an "excessive request", and he recorded it and saved it as evidence.
She now personally experienced what it meant to "cede five cities today, cede ten cities tomorrow, and then have a good night's sleep."
This guy always liked to play some weird "little games" when he was with her a few times before, but many of them were rejected by her.
This time he finally seized the opportunity, and he had to treat her well.
Thinking back to those embarrassing words, Li Qin's cheeks couldn't help but blush. She was nervous and flustered, but she couldn't help but have a hint of expectation.
No, no! Li Qin shook her head. If she continued to think like this, she would have no time to think about the script and the role. That would be a loss of both the wife and the army.
As for what Meng Bai would ask for... let's talk about it when the time comes.
...
As the saying goes, an autumn rain brings a chill. After the National Day, it rained for several days in a row in Landao, and the temperature dropped significantly.
It was not until now that I finally felt a little bit of autumn.
After three months, "Wolf Warrior 2", which was postponed twice, was finally taken off the screen.
In fact, by the middle of the first postponement, the box office potential of this movie had basically been squeezed out. The single-day box office fell to one million, and the screening schedule was compressed to single digits, so it could be directly taken off the screen.
But I don’t know how the relevant departments and theaters discussed it. On the basis of the postponement once, the key was extended for another month, and it was dragged to the National Day.
It’s just that this time the postponement, the audience didn’t buy it at all. In a month, the box office increased by less than 10 million, and the movie rating also dropped.
Fortunately, it was finally taken off the screen.
The final total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was fixed at 5.68 billion, undoubtedly topping the domestic film box office rankings, and leaving the second place "The Mermaid" behind by 2 billion.
Not only that, according to the exchange rate, the movie box office is equivalent to 850 million US dollars, ranking 72nd in the global movie rankings.
This is the first time that a Chinese-language movie has entered the top 100 of the global rankings, and it is only based on a single film market.
Although some European and American movie websites refuse to put "Wolf Warrior 2" on the list on the grounds that "the Chinese film market is seriously inflated", this will not affect the attention of global film and television capital at all.
It is foreseeable that the world's second largest film market will definitely receive greater attention in the future.
For Arclight Films, the main benefit of "Wolf Warrior 2" being off the shelves is that it can finally start to settle box office revenue.
An investment of 20 million yuan in exchange for a return of 220 million yuan is the most profitable deal for Arclight in the past two years.
However, because the film involves a large number of producers and distributors, and the calculation of the "bottom-line distribution" is more complicated, this income will not be received until at least next year.
In the film industry, a group of peers gnashed their teeth and "sent off" Wolf Warriors 2; in the online drama market, many dramas that had been suppressed for two months also welcomed the finale of Day and Night.
As the main project promoted by Arclight Films this year, Day and Night truly showed the style of the "king of dramas".
From the beginning to the finale, it has always maintained a high opening and high closing trend. The score remained firmly above 9 points, and the discussion volume and topic popularity did not decrease at all until the last episode was broadcast.
In fact, because there were many unfilled holes in the ending, it triggered more heated discussions among the audience.
[Hello, can anyone explain to me who was caught in the end, the elder brother or the younger brother? ]
[Compared to who was caught, I still want to know whether the fish eaten in the end was a "tiger" (funny). ]
[The family murder case was not finished, and the organization behind the framing of Daguan was only revealed. Mr. Meng Bai, I beg you not to follow the example of the Third Uncle and the old thief, don't dig holes without filling them! ]
[I still want to know why Tai Wei went from "Psychological Crime" to "White Night Chase", and what about Fang Mu? ]
[The above, didn't the plot mention that Tai Wei had a big thing a few years ago, it should be referring to Fang Mu's accident. ]
[I saw that the official Weibo of Arc Light announced the movie project of "Psychological Crime" some time ago, that should be about this "big event". 】
【……】
The audience's discussion mainly focused on two aspects, one is the main plot of "Day and Night Chase" itself, and the other is the interaction with "Psychological Crime".
After all, although the "Green Ivy Detective Universe" is well-known, this is the first time that linkage elements have appeared in the feature film.
In particular, the ending of "Fang Mu", the male protagonist of the "Psychological Crime" series, has aroused the curiosity and confusion of many viewers.
In addition, "Psychological Crime: City of Light", which is still being filmed, has also received great attention. ,
Both Meng Bai and Hu Guang are happy to see this situation.
In other words, this is the effect they want to achieve, otherwise why do they have to let the two dramas be broadcast one after the other.
However, the impact of this drama is more than that.
On the second day after the finale, the broadcasting platform Qiyi TV announced two news.
One is that Qiyi TV has become the first video platform in China with more than 50 million paying users, and the other is that it has announced a strategic cooperation with the American streaming giant Netflix to exchange and operate some drama content.
And the first domestic web drama to be listed on Netflix is the just-concluded "Day and Night Chase".
A stone stirs up a thousand waves.
No one expected that the web drama, which has only been popular for three or four years, would go abroad and successfully go overseas before the TV dramas that have been developed for 10 to 20 years.
But looking at the production team of "White Night Chase", everyone immediately felt that it was not so unbelievable.
Arc Light's works have been called "comparable to American dramas" by the audience since the first "Green Ivy Series". Another series, "Soul Ferry", has also been popular in the pan-Chinese cultural circles such as East Asia and Southeast Asia in recent years.
Although many viewers often complain that domestic dramas are not as good as works from the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan and South Korea. But in their hearts, who doesn't want their country's works to conquer overseas?
Now that there is finally a drama that can be "reversely exported", you can imagine how much enthusiasm everyone can burst out.
"White Night Chase" had already broken the circle during its broadcast, and now it has expanded outward again.
The producers of the web dramas that were broadcast at the same time and newly launched felt really screwed. They thought that their traffic would be more after the finale, but they didn't expect to still live in the shadow of the other party.
