Chapter 220 A Super Cop Above Superheroes (Part 1)
The movie's popularity hasn't died down yet.
Thanks to a series of actions by Pingying Tianxia, the film's box office rebounded.
The box office has now exceeded one billion.
The box office was successful, and the word-of-mouth also turned around.
Those who didn't finish watching it before found out upon rewatching that while the first half of the movie was indeed quite frustrating, the action scenes in the second half were truly spectacular.
It was only then that they realized why so many people loved dragon movies.
Pingying Tianxia's rooftop jump failed, but it gained him millions of fans.
Susan was so angry upon hearing the news that she couldn't sleep all night, since she only had a little over 100,000 followers.
It's not even a fraction of what the other party received; it's truly pathetic.
End of July.
The film's final box office figure was around 1.9 billion, nearly 2 billion. In addition to breaking the opening day box office record, the subsequent box office performance fluctuated.
Overall, however, this box office result made both Tianyi fans and Long fans very happy.
The Hawkeye rating also rose from less than six points to seven.8 points, which is a very good result in the action movie genre.
However, by this time, few people were paying attention to this matter anymore; the main focus of the film market now was Hollywood blockbusters.
Since the opening of international blockbusters to China, Hollywood blockbusters have been released in China every few months.
Some are older special effects blockbusters, and some are newly released special effects blockbusters.
Regardless of the circumstances, both past and present special effects blockbusters have received enthusiastic responses and garnered a large audience.
Hollywood studios haven't given up on the fertile ground of China either. The market interweaves new movies with older films, and although it can't be a seamless transition, it has made the Marvel IP a household name in China.
This time, the reason why it is so anticipated is not only because it is a new movie, but also because it is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
That's why countless fans of Marvel movies are so excited, because it means that new heroes have emerged.
If it were just the appearance of new movie characters, it probably wouldn't be enough to excite veteran Marvel fans, but Marvel movies have a certain habit.
Every time a new hero appears, an old hero will also appear, which is a huge bonus for fans who like the old heroes.
Online discussions about the Marvel movie "Captain Superman" are incredibly lively, with the movie dominating the trending topics for the past few days, demonstrating just how many people are talking about it.
"Captain Super? I wonder who will appear in this movie? Spider-Man or Iron Man? Or perhaps Batman in disguise?"
"What is a special effects blockbuster? This is a special effects blockbuster. What is a Hollywood blockbuster? This is a Hollywood blockbuster. I still prefer the exciting and adrenaline-pumping visual enjoyment."
"They just made a poster, and before the official promotion even started, so many people are already talking about it. It seems like there are a lot of Marvel fans."
"The date has been roughly set, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be early August, which coincides with summer vacation. I expect a lot of people will go to see it then. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing if this film will break the box office record for superhero movies."
"It seems that among all the Marvel movies released in China, the highest-grossing one has reached 3 billion yuan, ranking tenth on the cumulative box office list, which is already a very high achievement."
"If we include overseas box office revenue, this figure would probably be even higher, but there's no need for that, since most of the films have already been released."
"Why think so much? The highest is only 3 billion, but the lowest is 1 billion. It's clear that special effects blockbusters are very popular in China. This one will definitely be no less than 1 billion."
"..."
Lin Feng is the head of Marvel movie distribution in Greater China. He went through a lot of trouble to ensure that Captain America was released simultaneously in China.
The plan to import this film is almost finalized; now the main focus is on communicating the specific details, and William is the one he's in contact with.
"Mr. William, the initial plan is for the film to be released on August 1st. Promotional efforts have already been rolled out across various channels, and pre-sales will begin ahead of schedule," Lin Feng said.
William understood Chinese, so he nodded and said, "Let's do it your way, Mr. Lin Feng. I believe Mr. Lin Feng will not let us down. We value the Chinese market very much."
"Please rest assured, the people of China love Marvel movies very much. In terms of box office, this movie will not be less than 200 million Lighthouse Coins."
After the matter was settled, the two prepared to have a meal. On their way to the restaurant, William suddenly asked, "I heard that a dragon has appeared in China? Have you seen him?"
"Long? It's a pity, he's already left. If you had come earlier, you might have had a chance to hear Long's concert." Some time ago, Lin Feng learned that Zhou Tianyi had left China to travel all over the world.
William looked disappointed after hearing this, and Lin Feng asked, "Are you looking for a dragon?"
“Yes, my son really likes dragons. He heard that dragons have returned to China, so he’s hoping to get an autographed photo or a picture with one,” William said with a hint of regret.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "There will be opportunities in the future."
Similar to the plan set by Raymond Lam, on July 28th, the online pre-order sales channels for Super Captain were opened.
Just as Raymond Lam was preparing to witness the huge impact that Super Captain would have on the Chinese film and television industry, the top trending topic that day was not about this movie, but about the movie about dragons.
He hadn't expected that Long's new movie would also be released on August 1st. He hadn't heard anything about it before, but now pre-sales had already started.
This caused some concern, fearing that the Dragon movie might affect Captain Super's box office performance, but this concern quickly dissipated.
"Although dragons are powerful, no Chinese film has ever been able to gain the upper hand against special effects blockbusters, and I believe this time will be no exception."
When special effects blockbusters first come out, that's when they really face the challenge head-on, and Chinese film studios basically choose to ignore them.
It wasn't until the first special effects blockbuster became a huge hit, taking the highest box office and crushing all Chinese films that everyone realized that the two sides were simply not on the same level.
Especially after the release of several special effects blockbusters, the remarkable success of these films led many Chinese directors to temporarily avoid the limelight.
Nowadays, almost every time a special effects blockbuster is released, no Chinese blockbusters are shown. The reason is simple: they are afraid that the blockbusters will steal the limelight, causing them to lose market share and box office revenue.
That's why Raymond Lam went to great lengths to import special effects blockbusters; after all, it's a huge opportunity that would bring him both fame and fortune.
However, Lin Feng's composure didn't last long before he lost it all after a phone call from William. William's nervous voice came through the phone:
"Mr. Raymond Lam, the release date cannot be set for August 1st."
