After the birth of film, it became an important media tool. A good movie can change a person's image and change the impression of a country.
Likewise, a classic movie can tarnish a country's image. This is something that traditional book literature cannot provide.
Rather than spending several days or even ten days reading boring textbooks, people are more willing to watch a relaxing movie.
A few decades ago, any book on the bestseller list would have sold millions, and the threshold for the top thirty would have started at tens of millions. But now, sales of only the top three books on the bestseller list can still be In addition to getting tens of millions of copies, the top ten started to become millions.
A book that sells more than 500,000 copies a year is considered a hit.
At the same time, TV and movies have become better choices for people. Thanks to the promotion of the royal family, various historical dramas have become unique in the Chinese television industry, and the most popular among them is Sheng Qian.
As long as it can pass the review, you can basically get your money back.
As the most splendid dynasty in Chinese history, Daqian will always make people dream about it.
Not only in China, but also in other countries, TV and movies are taken seriously. At the same time, various countries invariably use TV and movies to shoot some patriotic films.
In China, the royal family spends huge sums of money to shoot one or two important movies every year to commemorate the prosperous years and remember those heroes.
The same is true for other countries, but in the film market, Chinese films can be distributed globally. With superb special effects, perfect film industry processes, and a vast market, Chinese films are unparalleled in the world.
China's film market has also become the largest market in the world. Who makes China the superpower with the largest population, largest territory, and strongest strength in the world?
If movies want to prosper, in addition to receiving support from the government, they also need to have their own blood-forming capabilities and be able to attract people to watch movies in cinemas.
China's film market is so large that no other countries combined can match it. Therefore, more and more countries are targeting the Chinese market.
As long as they can succeed, they will gain huge profits that far exceed those at home.
After all, how can a market worth tens of millions be compared with a market worth hundreds of millions? You must know that the total box office of China's movies for the whole year has exceeded 150 billion yuan. The Greater China Cultural Circle, with a market of more than 2 billion people, is unmatched by other countries.
As a result, a large number of foreign film companies began to look for the preferences of Chinese audiences and wanted to make money through this.
But movies are often a gamble. Thousands of films are shot every year, but less than 20% of them make money.
Many studios have discovered that comedy is the easiest way to make money. But it’s not easy for other people to understand comedies from various countries.
Next are war dramas and fantasy dramas, but war dramas require a huge investment, and you will lose money if you are not careful. More importantly, war dramas cannot be nonsense and cannot turn victory into failure. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve high box office worldwide.
But what is surprising is that some wars related to China have achieved good box office in Greater China and some countries.
For example, they filmed movies about China as an invader, defeating other countries, occupying land, plundering loot, etc., and sometimes they can get good profits.
Part of this is that the defeated countries shared the same hatred and saw the grief after losing the war, and wanted to use movies to promote and expose the Chinese invaders and bully them.
But what is surprising is that these movies can also achieve good box office in Greater China.
This is surprising.
Especially this year's "Blood Sea" jointly invested and filmed by the British and the French. The movie tells the story of the Second Battle of the Indian Ocean. The two parties participating in the war at that time were the Chinese Third Fleet and the British and French Combined Fleet.
This war was also the war with the largest number of ships and the largest total tonnage since the advent of the ironclad era. It was also an important turning point in the Second Family War.
The war ended with China's complete victory. The British and French combined fleets lost 70% of their main warships and completely lost their ability to compete with China from the Malacca Strait to the African coast.
Oceania and Southeast Asia have become China's territory, and Tianzhu has also become China's sphere of influence. China has established numerous military bases in the Middle East and Tianzhu.
The failure of this war also became an eternal pain in the hearts of the British and French people.
The Queen of England lost the brightest jewel in her crown, and the French lost Borneo. At the same time, even the Middle East has become China's sphere of influence.
Naturally, films jointly produced by the British and French will not portray China very well. They will naturally shoot the movie from their own standpoint, so China's image in this movie is not very good.
But what is surprising is that such a movie became a hit in the Greater China circle.
After this movie was released, it immediately set off a movie-watching frenzy in China. No one expected that such a movie would win the box office championship in China for two consecutive months.
During the period of April and May, it topped the box office weekly list for nine consecutive weeks.
In the end, it won the third place in the box office of Chinese movies that year. If the Chinese Film Bureau hadn't seen that this movie was too popular and forced two movies to snipe it in the ninth week, this movie would probably have been released again. Champion for a week or two.
It can even become the highest-grossing movie of the year. You know, the two movies ahead of him are only 10 million and 30 million higher than him respectively.
Such a movie actually achieved such a high box office, and in the movie, Hua Xia's image is still the villain. Filmmakers around the world, including media reporters, were stunned.
Everyone wanted to find out why this movie was so popular. Reporters interviewed a large number of viewers, but the final conclusion they got was ridiculous.
In the movie, China's aggressiveness and attitude of treating Western powers like chickens and dogs made Chinese audiences feel novel. There is a kind of feeling that the enemy is very powerful since childhood, and we have to work hard, but in the end we find that we are the real big boss.
That feeling of sitting up in a dying illness and realizing that the great powers are actually me.
The feeling of being a big BOSS that makes people hate him so much, but he can do nothing but compromise.
You know, in Chinese history textbooks and various movies and TV dramas, the image of China has always been polite, peace-loving, always kind, always cooperative and win-win, and they have all suffered from all kinds of hardships. After this injustice, they were forced to send troops out of desperation.
Therefore, Chinese people have an illusion.
After watching this movie, they understood how powerful they were.
