Chapter 841 Why Do Domestic Films that Are Going Global Fail?

"Xiao Ye, you should go back quickly. It's too cold outside."

After dinner, Tan Yue was ready to go home, but Chen Ye insisted on sending him downstairs.

"Mr. Tan, be careful on the road."

"I'm going back." Tan Yue started the car.

"Goodbye, Mr. Tan."

Chen Ye waved his hand and waited until the car drove away before turning around and going upstairs.

Tan Yue drove away from Ye Wen's community. The content of their conversation during dinner kept echoing in his mind.

Half a month after its release, "World Travel" received mediocre response in foreign films, and even did not make any splashes, which made Ye Wen no longer have hope for it.

The first Chinese film to be officially released simultaneously around the world is basically going to end in failure.

The global film market is much more complicated than expected. He is not sure whether "The Truman Show" can achieve good results after its release. He can only go all out, but the failure of "World Travel" also sounded a wake-up call for him and brought pressure.

Two days later.

The warm sun in the cold winter brought a lot of warmth, and the weather was particularly sunny.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Tan Yue looked through the program improvement plan submitted by the program department, and took a sip of water from time to time. At the same time, he was also thinking about whether the plan in the document would have a favorable impact on the program after implementation.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye. Tan Yue temporarily put down the documents in his hand, came to the window to bask in the sun and looked outside.

After a break, he returned to the computer and continued to browse the documents.

After constantly weighing the pros and cons, Tan Yue finally signed his name.

Once a program is long, it will eventually make the audience feel aesthetic fatigue. After many small changes, it still needs to be changed.

Only by breaking and building can a new way out be found.

After Chen Ye took the file away, Tan Yue immediately went to the editing room.

"Mr. Tan." Seeing Tan Yue coming in, the head of the editing team of "The Truman Show" hurried forward to greet him.

Tan Yue nodded slightly: "Show me the recently edited film."

"I can do it myself, you go and get busy first." Tan Yue sat in front of the computer and looked at the newly edited clips carefully.

The screen on the computer was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and it often went back.

To ensure that there were no mistakes, this was the most reliable way to check.

I don’t know how long it took, Tan Yue felt a little sore in his neck, shook it slightly, and insisted on watching it to the end.

The work of the editing team was very good, and it met Tan Yue’s requirements.

Seeing Tan Yue stand up, the person in charge hurried over: "Mr. Tan, is there anything that needs to be improved?"

"It’s all good, we must keep it up." Tan Yue naturally wouldn’t be stingy with his praise for his subordinates’ good work.

"Okay, Mr. Tan!" The person in charge smiled.

Tan Yue coughed lightly: "Everyone stop what you are doing first."

The editors raised their heads.

Tan Yue exhorted:

"The box office performance of "World Travel" in the global film market is not ideal, and the pressure has come to us."

"I hope that everyone will be attentive and serious in future work, and don't miss any frame."

"There is plenty of time, you can edit slowly, and don't make unnecessary mistakes because of anxiety."

"Everyone has performed well during this period, keep working hard, and continue to work!"

After speaking, Tan Yue did not leave, but sat in the editing room and participated in the editing of the film with the staff.

There are no files in the office, so Tan Yue can focus all his energy on editing.

Wang Letian's home in Suzhou.

In the master bedroom, Wang Letian was lying on the big bed and snoring. He stayed up late last night to watch two foreign blockbusters until three in the morning. Wang Letian felt that his heart was pounding, as if he was about to die suddenly.

He didn't dare to watch the movie anymore, and lay on the bed to sleep honestly.

Because he stayed up too late yesterday, he slept until noon today.

Wang Letian slowly sat up from the bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes. There was floor heating in the room. Although it was winter, it was not too cold.

Wang Letian got out of bed and opened the curtains. The dazzling sunlight outside the window shone directly in, making Wang Letian unable to open his eyes.

Coming out of the bedroom, Wang Letian thought about how to eat. In order to maintain his huge physique, he had to eat four meals a day, and each meal had a lot of food. Now Wang Letian has exceeded 220 kilograms.

Wang Letian first came to the kitchen. He searched around in the kitchen but couldn't find a few fresh vegetables. The meat was eaten up, leaving only the instant noodle soup for last night's instant noodles.

Thinking that it was time to go to the supermarket to buy, but today was not possible because there was no time. His schedule today was very full.

There was no food in the kitchen, so he couldn't cook at home. Wang Letian picked up his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway online and asked the brother to deliver it to his home.

He looked at the time and it would take another half an hour for his lunch to be delivered. Wang Letian didn't want to waste this half an hour, so he walked to the sofa with his phone and sat down.

He opened his phone and logged into Weibo to check the reviews posted by some film critics he followed.

If you ask which movie is the most popular online during this period, it must be "Around the World".

The current box office champion of the Spring Festival is this movie. If nothing unexpected happens, "Around the World" will definitely be the biggest winner of this year's Spring Festival.

Although the movie "Around the World" won the box office in China, its reputation among netizens is not very good. As the first domestic movie to be released simultaneously around the world, the performance of "Around the World" overseas is indeed not very impressive, and it is far from the psychological expectations of domestic netizens.

Wang Letian was waiting for his takeaway while watching the reviews of "Around the World" made by other film critics on Weibo.

Not waiting for half an hour, but only twenty minutes later, his takeaway was delivered. After giving the takeaway boy a bottle of mineral water and expressing his gratitude, Wang Letian started to sit at the dining table to eat his lunch.

While eating lunch, he was thinking about the film review in his mind.

As one of the most influential film critics on Weibo, naturally there are a large number of fans urging him, and Wang Letian is also preparing to write a review about "Around the World".

However, the movie "Around the World" is of great significance, and Wang Letian dare not write it casually, and he has many concerns in his heart.

In the past few days, he has watched "Around the World" twice in a row, but he has only written the first draft of the film review, which needs to be further revised.

He will go to see the movie again this afternoon, and try to write the best film review. This is the professional quality of a professional film critic.

After eating, Wang Letian threw the takeaway box into the trash can, washed up, changed clothes and prepared to go out.

His first priority now is to write a review of "Around the World".

After watching the movie twice, Wang Letian already had a general idea of ​​the film review. He felt that he only needed to watch it again and find some details to prove his idea, and the film review could be officially released.

After everything was packed up, Wang Letian picked up the car keys and prepared to leave. He walked out of the house, took the elevator to the underground parking lot, found his car, and drove to the cinema.

Driving on the road, Wang Letian suddenly found that there were many more cars on the road. During the Spring Festival a few days ago, many people working in Suzhou returned to their hometowns, which made the number of cars on the road in Suzhou much less. It seems that everyone is back now.

Although there were many more cars on the road, Wang Letian did not encounter traffic jams. He arrived at the cinema smoothly and parked his car in the parking lot in front of the cinema. He put on a mask and walked into the cinema.

After collecting the movie tickets he bought online at the automatic ticket machine, Wang Letian went to the counter to buy a bottle of Coke and a bucket of popcorn.

He has his current figure, and the biggest contribution is Coke. It is worthy of being called the fat boy's happy water. He buys a bottle of Coke and a bucket of popcorn almost every time he watches a movie.

In Wang Letian's habit, if there is no Coke and popcorn when watching a movie, it is incomplete.

After waiting for a few minutes. The audience of the previous movie came out of the aisle one after another, and Wang Letian brought his own Coke and popcorn. After checking the ticket, he entered the screening room. The seat he bought was very good, in the middle of the sixth row, which was a back position with excellent sight.

After entering, Wang Letian found that compared with his previous two visits to "Around the World", the number of audiences watching the movie this time was much smaller.

Last time, half of the seats were still occupied, but now only less than one-fifth are occupied.

Wang Letian crossed his legs on the chair, unscrewed the Coke bottle and gulped down a big gulp of Coke, then ate popcorn while observing other audiences in the cinema.

The movie hasn't started yet, but he wants to see what other audiences think of the movie.

Wang Letian found that some audiences came to see the movie for the first time, and some came for the second time.

Wang Letian nodded secretly. The quality of the movie "World Travel" is still good. Although the box office abroad is not ideal, it stands out from the crowd of other domestic movies.

Wang Letian observed other audiences in the cinema and thought about how to write his own film review.

Sometimes when writing a film review, if you can't open your mind and inspiration, you may find a starting point from other people's feedback and attitudes towards the movie. This is also a writing method that Wang Letian has always used. After observing the audience for a while, the movie started.

Wang Letian has watched the movie "Around the World" twice, and this is the third time. He is too familiar with movies. Generally, he doesn't want to watch a movie a second time after watching it. This time is a special case. He wants to write a good review, so he watched it three times.

Other audiences watched it with relish and laughed at the climax, but Wang Letian frowned. For him, the movie was a bit boring.

As the plot of the movie continued to move forward, the whole story was completely unfolded in front of the audience. It must be said that Zhang Baihao is still good. As a top film director in China, he deeply knows how to make a movie that touches the hearts of the audience.

During the movie, the whole screening room was full of laughter. After all, the quality of the movie "Around the World" is still very good.

The audience who watched the movie for the first time were very involved and laughed non-stop. Wang Letian didn't have too many feelings. He was seriously analyzing the plot.

He tried to search for some details in the movie, which were related to his rating of the movie and finally reflected in the review he wrote.

Wang Letian uses his mobile phone to record his thoughts while watching movies. This is his writing habit.

However, this is the third time he has watched "Around the World" and he is no longer recording his thoughts while watching movies on his mobile phone. Instead, he is writing reviews while watching movies.

After watching it three times in a row, Wang Letian feels that he now has a thorough understanding of the movie "Around the World".

This movie is of good quality and is a high-quality movie overall. Otherwise, netizens and audiences are not fools. How could they continue to go to the cinema to watch this movie and push this movie to the top of the Spring Festival box office?

But if you want to say that the quality of this movie is very high, it is not the case. "Around the World" is more in line with the values ​​of domestic audiences.

In the final analysis, it is because director Zhang Baihao does not know much about foreign audiences or the foreign film market, so the movie "Around the World" has a good box office in China, but has been neglected abroad.

Moreover, Wang Letian found that the reason why the movie "Around the World" did not have a high box office in foreign countries was not only that it did not meet the values ​​of foreign audiences, which made foreign film audiences not very accepting, but also that the quality of the movie was not very high.

If the quality of the movie was very high, even if it did not meet the aesthetic values ​​of foreign audiences, it would not be like now without even a wave.

After watching the movie, when other audiences were still immersed in the plot and slowly discussing the content of the movie, Wang Letian had already stood up and quickly left the screening room.

He already had a complete film review in his mind, and he had found the direction. At the latest tomorrow night, this film review about "Around the World" will be written.

It's just that in the specific writing process, he still needs to polish it. This can't be rushed. It needs to be polished slowly, and a rough original film review can be polished into a high-quality film review that is good enough to be posted online and attract everyone's likes, comments and reposts.

When he came to the parking lot, Wang Letian did not drive home immediately. He turned on the air conditioner in the car and sat in the back seat, where his laptop was placed.

He opened his laptop and started writing a film review. He had already written a draft of a film review about the movie "World Travel", but that draft was now rejected by him. He had a better idea.

Sitting in the car, Wang Letian's fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and a draft of a film review was slowly written. However, if he wanted to post it online, he had to go through many revisions.
