The Director of Music Department

Wang Yifan himself has made A-level big productions in North America, and has achieved extremely high achievements.

"Mad Max Fury Road" has given Wang Yifan a lot of fans in North America.

This shows what?

It shows that Wang Yifan has the same unique vision for the North American market.

So how could he not know that "Infernal Affairs" would be unacceptable in North America?

Moreover, Huaxin itself actually has distribution channels in North America, and Wang Yifan itself can also be involved with several major North American giants.

Wang Yifan himself is still cooperating with several giants on the masterpiece "Titanic".

So, if "Infernal Affairs" is really favored by him, then how could it be given to Ari? This is tantamount to consulting the enemy.

Therefore, there is only one answer. Wang Yifan has long known that "Infernal Affairs" is only suitable for domestic audiences, not for North America.

And to give it to Ari, although Ari took the initiative, but it does not rule out that Wang Yifan is actually digging a hole for Ari!

Afterwards, Zhuge Liang, before this kind of thing happened, everyone didn't think there was anything, but when it really happened, it would be really scary to think carefully.

No words for a night, or sleepless night!

Chen Qingyun and Chen Dahua are actually better. "Infernal Affairs" is not satisfied in North America. For them, it doesn't have much impact.

At most, business as usual, and the domestic "Infernal Affairs" is indeed a big hit.

Therefore, they are naturally not as anxious as those on Cao Meng and Ari's side.

But for Cao Meng, the failure of "Infernal Affairs" will have a great impact on him.

Because, he did swell before, and even when he persuaded Wang Yifan to help out in North America, his tone was unavoidable.

If "Infernal Affairs" is completed in North America, then Cao Meng naturally does not need to be annoying and flattering to Wang Yifan as he did in the past.

Because at that time, he Cao Meng was already an international famous director.

No worries about scripts at all, no worries about big productions.

But now?

"Infernal Affairs" is likely to fail, so he is embarrassed.

Who is Wang Yifan? Your uncle is still your uncle.

Cao Meng didn't mean that he couldn't pull that face, but a question of whether he was willing to accept it.

Because before Cao Meng swelled.

I thought it was fine, the rain stopped, and I did it again. What happened now?

Haha!

I won't talk about embarrassment.

The key is the good situation in the country, and it is very likely that it was a bit overwhelmed because of this, but it will definitely have a great impact.

Because before this, everyone can also say that Wang Yifan, the screenwriter, did not play the most important role. The success of "Infernal Affairs" was entirely the credit of Cao Meng.

Because this is a Hong Kong movie, can ordinary people shoot it?

Hong Kong Island film directors can only shoot, so the story of "Infernal Affairs" is indeed wonderful, but the director Cao Meng is even more powerful.

But this time, it was different.

Cao Meng boasted to go to Haikou, and Ari boasted to go to Haikou, but "Infernal Affairs" was broken and sinking into the sand.

It seems that the script of "Infernal Affairs" is true for other Hollywood studios.

So what does it mean?

It is clear that people think the script is awesome, not the movie.

Remember this is a big difference.

Because Cao Meng is the director and Wang Yifan is the screenwriter.

Coupled with the defeat in North America, Cao Meng rushed over with the main creative members Pidianpidian, and sent a draft before leaving.

But what about Wang Yifan?

He sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, and has no plans to go.

The result is clear at a glance.

Wang Yifan's vision is as unique as ever, but Cao Meng?

Just a younger brother!

According to the opening scale of "Infernal Affairs" in North America, five hundred screens opened.

If the attendance rate and word-of-mouth are strong, then the follow-up increase in the lineup is naturally not a problem.

But if the attendance rate is not enough, then five hundred screens are already the limit.

Ari Media’s foundation in North America is not deep enough to directly break the rules.

The Imperial Cinemas will certainly not break this rule.

Therefore, Cao Meng almost has no hope.

Of course, despite this, there will inevitably be a fluke in my heart.

Maybe the fans at the premiere are just fans who just don't like this type of movie?

After all, the movie box office hasn't come out yet, hasn't it?

People are always reluctant to admit failure, and will always find various excuses for themselves before the results come out.

Cao Meng is no exception.

After all, the film critics and media reputation of "Infernal Affairs" are quite good, isn't it?

The same is true for Ari Media. They are not as pessimistic as Cao Meng. Instead, they believe that it is normal for the audience to react less enthusiastically.

After all, those movie fans themselves are a specific group.

Time passed by every minute.

In an instant it was the next day, when the first day's box office statistics were released.

Cao Meng came to the North American location of Ari Film and Television Distribution Company for the first time.

"Has the box office statistics come out?" Cao Meng asked immediately.

Arenas, the North American director of Ari Film and Television Distribution Company, sighed, took out a report and handed it to Cao Meng.

When he saw the box office, Cao Meng's face would naturally not look good!

1.63 million!

Yes, the box office on the first day was only $1.63 million!

The box office of a single library is only more than $3,000.

This result may be considered better than the performance of other domestic films in North America.

However, you must know that the announcement of "Infernal Affairs" in North America was done by Ari Media.

The pre-screening, and other publicity, but they are all in place.

It also cost millions of dollars for a grand premiere.

The results of it? The box office on the first day turned out to be only more than one million dollars.

Arenas sighed and said: "The attendance rate is not high, and this is because the attendance rate of theaters in the Chinese community is relatively high, and the results are evenly distributed."

"What about word of mouth? How about word of mouth?" This is Cao Meng's last straw.

"Word of mouth is surprisingly good?" Arenas's expression was also a little weird.

"Oh?" Cao Meng's eyes lit up suddenly.

"I'm talking about audience reputation." Cao Meng asked with a frown.

Arenas also nodded and said, "I'm talking about the audience's word of mouth."

"This... Since the audience has a good reputation, why the box office is..." Cao Meng didn't understand.

Arenas said: "Yes, this is a bit abnormal, but it is actually normal. Because "Infernal Affairs" is a Chinese movie."

"What do you mean?" Cao Meng was a little confused.

"Let's put it this way, first of all, the scale of "Infernal Affairs" is not large, so the number of viewers is relatively limited.

"And the audience in North America, if a movie really makes them appreciate, then they will actively comment, such as "Mad Max Fury Road" directed by Wang! But if the movie itself cannot let them If you are satisfied, if it is a North American movie, then they may scold a few words, but if it is a foreign movie, in fact, many times, they don't care too much."
