film and television dramas is sometimes very amazing. For example, the following movies are obviously domestically produced, but they are very popular overseas;
"Shaolin Football";
People who like Stephen Chow should be very familiar with this movie. "Shaolin" released in 2001 "Football" invested more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the production, starring Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, Zhao Wei, Xie Xian and others. At that time, only the "golden combination" of Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda was enough to be popular, but this film only had a few domestic box offices. 60 million Hong Kong dollars, it seems to be a profit, in fact, after deducting the cost of 30 million, it is still a lot of losses after deducting the costs of publicity, actors' pay, labor, materials, etc.;
, but his nonsensical themes and the elements of promoting Chinese Kungfu are deeply Loved by Japan. Once the theater was full of guests, it finally received a box office of about 160 million Hong Kong dollars. Not only can it bear all the costs, but it also makes a lot of money. The most important thing is that this movie has also been given an epic significance. About half an hour before the match between the national football team of Serbia and Montenegro and the national football team of Côte d’Ivoire in the 2006 World Cup, a movie clip of "Shaolin Football" was shown on the big screen of the venue. It was even changed into German, Italian, Arabic and other dozens of versions and was introduced to the world;
"Ambush on Ten Sides";
in 2004, directed by Zhang Yimou and starred by Takeshi Kaneshiro, Andy Lau, Zhang Ziyi and others. "Ambush" was released in China. It seems that this film is a famous work by many celebrities, and the film itself is definitely considered a big production. The film was prepared to start shooting in 2001. In the market situation in 2001, only build The scenes in a play cost as much as 2 million. The materials in the scenes are mostly solid wood and fiberglass. Even the artworks in the play are mostly hand-carved, which highly restores the "late Tang period" in the play; after
was released, The film also won a box office of about 22.8 million U.S. dollars in China. It seems to be a very gratifying result. However, combined with the remuneration, publicity, and setting costs of the big names, it still seems to be "lack of income", but again, such a film Classic films are highly sought after overseas, and the final global box office is fixed at about 93 million US dollars. Obviously, such box office results are not just as simple as making a lot of money;
"Drunken Fist";
Jackie Chan entered the movie as a martial artist in 1971 There are countless cameo films in the circle. In 1978, "Drunken Master" was released. Although he created the style of "Kung Fu Comedy", the final box office of this film was only about 6.77 million Hong Kong dollars. Such a famous work, The box office was unprecedentedly bleak; although I don’t know how much the film cost, I think it should have been a loss, but such a film that is not favored by the Chinese has created a box office record of tens of millions of dollars overseas, and it was also regarded at the time. It's a "myth". Perhaps this is the reason Jackie Chan entered Hollywood in his later years. It seems that his style is more easily accepted by Crooked Nuts;
In short, there are many films that are not favored by Chinese but are loved overseas, but There is one thing in common is that most of them are "kung fu movies." Many domestic movies have added a lot of real kung fu elements in order to cater to the "martial arts dream" of Chinese people. However, such movies are more popular overseas and are often regarded by Chinese as " The "bad movie" film is called "the drama" abroad.
