Chapter 469 Entering the European and American Markets

Immediately afterwards, some celebrity Vs also started posting Weibo, attaching photos saying that they watched "Alien Shape". As a result, the theater sold tickets for "The Battle of Earth". Some netizens even recorded videos of the cinema staff. The staff inside claimed that the screening rate of "The Battle of Earth" was a mandatory requirement of the Film Bureau, and they had no choice but to sell tickets for "The Battle of Earth" to them, and then explain separately.

Some theater staff even wrote the words "Alien" on the ticket for "The Battle of Earth", assured the audience that "Alien" was played.

A lawyer posted on Weibo that this behavior was suspected of economic crimes and malfeasance. The investors of "The War of Defense of the Earth" used the power of the Film Bureau to forcibly infringe on the interests of the investors of "Alien". The investors of "The War of Defense of the Earth" can resort to the court to make huge claims from the Film Bureau and the investors of "The War of Defense of the Earth". If there is a duty crime, the public security organs and the discipline inspection commission should also intervene.

Wang Qian accounted for half of the investment in "Alien" but half of it was an investor brought by the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry of Culture will certainly not sit idly by this matter. According to Zhao Yu, Ma Wenxuan of the Ministry of Culture has begun to deal with this matter. They sent an undercover investigation team to secretly collect evidence across the country, and will investigate and deal with the serious violations of the Film Bureau in the name of the Ministry of Culture.

While the outside world was in a turmoil, Wang Qian was hiding leisurely in the bedroom of the villa playing with his cell phone.

Money is just a number for him now. Whether "Alien" makes money or not makes money, it doesn't matter to him. The chaos in domestic box office is not something he can change. However, he believes that with the strength of "Alien", it is certain that it will be a big hit in the European and American markets. It is also easy to beat "The Battle of Defend the Earth" in the global box office.

In the original world, the investment of "Alien" was US$11 million. After its release, the box office in the European and American markets was US$180 million, but that was US$180 million in 1979, which is not comparable to US$180 million now.

Of course, Wang Qian is not playing "Glory of the Emperor" when playing with his mobile phone, but is doing a very positive and meaningful thing.

Open the treasure chest!

Zhan Duan Xinghe rewarded another 20,000 starting coins!

Now Wang Qian mainly relies on RMB to open treasure chests.

After some squandering, Wang Qian got a bunch of consumables such as crow's mouth, clairvoyance, and various detectors.

Then when opening the silver treasure chest, Wang Qian opened a special treasure.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a special treasure: a movie pirated blocker!"

"Movie Pirate Blocker: refers to the seeds, video files, and various types of variant files that spread the pirated movie on the Internet after being used on a designated movie. It will be inexplicably damaged and cannot be repaired. It has an effective period of three months."

"This thing is good!" Wang Qian was overjoyed when he saw the pirated blocker of the movie. "Alien" wanted to ensure the global box office, and of course the biggest enemy was not "The Battle of Earth", not the film bureau, not the swelling of the buttocks, nor other European and American blockbusters released at the same time, but pirated versions.

The previous life's "Wolf Warrior 2" was hit in mainland China, with a box office of over 5 billion. It was vigorous in the early stage and weak in the later stage. Moreover, the box office was extremely bleak when Xianggang was released. The main reason... In addition to some special factors, it was caused by piracy.

In this era of advanced information, it was impossible for the film publisher to prevent the spread of piracy, but with this movie pirated blocker, Wang Qian could not have pirated copies of "Alien" within three months.

...

More than ten hours after "Alien" was officially screened in China, "The Battle of Earth" and "Alien" landed in European and American theaters together.

The China Film Bureau and European and American theaters have conducted a large exchange of interests, which has enabled "The Battle of Earth" to obtain a screening rate of up to three percent in the European and American markets. This is the record of the screening rate of Asian films in the European and American markets.

You should know that in his last life, "Wolf Warrior 2", which was in the top 60 in the box office in China and entered the top 60 in history, only received two screens a day when it was released in the United States.

"Alien" did not have an exchange between the film bureau and European and American theaters. It was originally just a two-game life, but some theater leaders were curious... mainly to try out "Alien" for Wang Qian, a public enemy in the Western world, and immediately attracted the plot of "Alien". They felt that this film would definitely be liked by the audience. So "Alien" relied on the conscience of some theater leaders, and obtained a total of about 0.8% screening rate in the European and American markets on the first day.

The two Chinese science fiction films were released in the European and American markets at the same time, which naturally attracted the attention of Western media and Western audiences. After the first round of screenings, Western audiences who have watched these two films also appeared on the Internet for comments on these two films.

Of course, there are also the Western world's film rating websites that rate these two films.

First of all, it’s about "The Battle of Earth".

"What's the matter with "The Battle of Earth"? Even when I was asleep while watching it, I still felt like I had eaten shit for an afternoon, and I wanted to strangle the director to death!"

"Haibo? Who is Zhu? Are you very famous? A good director who came out of the house? I haven't heard of it! What does this movie have to do except Motor? Temon?! Acting and plot are simply... hard to describe."

"Why don't Chinese movies make Chinese characteristics? I learned the style of Haolaiwu and didn't look very similar. I took it here to show us? There are so many similar movies that have already been watched by the same type. Why do I watch this even worse?"

"The second most sci-fi movie I've seen in the past decade."

"The plot and logic are confused, and there is no brain-free mix. I regretted the curiosity, but I watched a bad movie that I was so happy that I was disdainful of."

Foreign film rating websites have scored "The Battle of Earth" one after another, and the scores are relatively uniform. With a full score of 10, the scores of "The Battle of Earth" on foreign film rating websites are similar to those of domestic film rating websites, and they are all between 2-3 points.

Then there's about Alien.

"All suspense, thriller, or horror movies should be used as examples of this film, and the atmosphere really reaches its peak! What? Is this a science fiction film? Or is it produced by China? I didn't feel it at all when I watched it!"

"The imagination of Chinese people is indeed extraordinary when it can be filmed in science fiction films!"

"The shape of this monster is really novel. I have never seen it before! The most disgusting saliva is the most disgusting. As soon as the alien appears, my attention is always focused on when the saliva flows out..."

"I like this ending. The brave, witty and principled heroine and cat survived, and all the idiots died!"

“This is a milestone masterpiece in science fiction movies!”

"It's impossible to imagine that this Chinese work is a work by a Chinese. It's a few levels higher than the big and bad movies on the assembly line of Haolaiwu! Why can't we shoot such in-depth films from Haolaiwu? The cultural heritage of China for 5,000 years is indeed not revealed."

"I have watched both films. Is the film "The Battle of Earth" to highlight how excellent this "Alien" is? The polarization of Chinese directors is very serious!"

"From entering the theater, I unconsciously immersed in the atmosphere and plot of the film. As for whether the actors in the film are Oriental or Western, white or black, they have not paid attention to it. After watching it directly, I still feel unsatisfied. When I walked out of the theater, I suddenly realized that this was actually a film made by Chinese people! American movies are already far behind!"

Foreign film rating websites have scored "Alien" one after another, and the scores are relatively uniform. With a full score of 10, the score of "Alien" on foreign film rating websites is similar to the 9.1 score of domestic film rating websites, and they are all above 8.5 points!

Don’t think that 8.5 points are very low. You should know that in the past two years, the highest-rated movie on European and American film rating websites in the European and American film market has only scored 8.1 points! "Alien" is the first time in the past two years that the score exceeds 8.5 points in the European and American film market!

The ratings of the film rating website immediately attracted more attention from European and American media and audiences, and of course it also attracted great attention from theater practitioners. The European and American theater market is not interfered by government agencies, and everything is market-oriented. Many theater staff unconsciously tried to add screening to "Alien" when considering tomorrow's schedule.

Some theaters that have not introduced "Alien" before have also purchased copies and decided to try to schedule some extra games for "Alien" from tomorrow. If the effect is not good, remove it. If the effect is good, continue to increase the number of games.

The first time that has appeared in two years with a high score of 8.5 or above, why should you try it?

The first day of "The Battle of Earth" and "Alien" in the European and American markets ended like this.

...

"The Battle of Earth" was officially released in 3325 theaters in Europe and the United States, with a box office of 5.9 million US dollars on the first day, and "Alien" was officially released in 853 theaters in Europe and the United States, with a box office of only 2.26 million US dollars on the first day. "The Battle of Earth" was at home or abroad, with an absolute advantage in the first day's box office! The navy who gave "The Battle of Earth" low scores, no matter how you slander "The Battle of Earth", has become a representative of the cultural output of China. The market tells everything! The box office tells everything! Your insults will only make me move forward more firmly!" Zhu Haibo showed off his first day's record on Weibo.

"It's so shameless! Relying on the forced inclination of the film bureau in the filming process, stealing the box office of "Alien" and exchanging interests with domestic box office and European and American theaters, he barely suppressed the box office of "Alien" on the first day, and thought he was not a bad movie!"
