Chapter 634： cultural difference

There have been many firsts in Relativity Entertainment. "The Wedding Pride" is the first time to set foot in a pure comedy movie. In this respect, the success or failure of "The Wedding Pride" is also significant.

When the film is successful, comedy projects such as "The Hangover" will naturally unfold smoothly.

Apart from the general direction and the final edited version, Ronan hardly interfered in the production of this film, because the difference between American comedy and Chinese comedy is so great.

There are few purely American comedies that can gain a high reputation in the Eastern market and sell well.

In this respect, it is not even comparable to an American chicken soup movie like "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

Before entering the theater, Connie answered a phone call, came to Ronan, and whispered: "The senator from Illinois wants to meet you."

Ronan knew who she was talking about, nodded and said, "Respond to him after the premiere, yes."

Today, I am afraid that few people can imagine that the Heitan classmate can embark on the pinnacle of his political career.

After walking a few steps, Ronan said again: "By the way, next time I go to New York, find someone to help me make an appointment with that real estate agent."

Connie nodded: "Okay."

She didn't understand why Ronan wanted to meet with that big mouth. Is it because of the other's beautiful daughter?

It seems that Ronan has been very restrained recently, except for Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway, he has not contacted other women anymore, as if there is a tendency to correct evil.

Ronan didn't have any special thoughts, nor did he think about what help he could produce. As long as the Washington authorities do not slow down in the future, they can achieve their goals.

The big companies here basically bet on both ends instead of hanging on a tree.

Politics is very complicated, even more than business. Even when it comes to this aspect, Ronan will be low-key and then low-key, as far as possible.

Otherwise, it is death.

Ronan walked into the theater and went to the movies with peace of mind. Although he was incapable of appreciating American comedy, he was always a film invested by his own company.

Besides, there are two handsome men and two beautiful women in the film.

Owen Wilson and Bradley Cooper have a good appearance, especially the latter, who has a kind of ruffian handsomeness.

Rachel McAdams and Ira Fisher are in Hollywood. Although they are not top-notch in appearance, they are also first-line beauties.

After the film began to show, the laughter kept appearing in the theater without stopping.

All kinds of baggage and full of laughter.

Of course, because of the real growth environment and the difference in cultural background for more than ten years, Ronan really can't get the laughter.

The difference between Eastern and Western comedy movies is so great that even with Hollywood’s international filming methods, cultural surprises cannot be eliminated.

Whether in the East or the West, as a comedy movie, its basic characteristics are funny and laughable, but how to make people laugh, and to maximize any can make people laugh in a film Factors, in this regard, the focus of Eastern and Western comedy film elements is very different.

Especially in some Hollywood romantic comedy movies, there are often large monologues and dialogues, which are all American slang and conventional jokes, which is difficult to understand as an oriental audience, and this is also the way foreigners see the East. It will also appear in the comedy movies where you should laugh and laugh loudly where you shouldn’t.

There are too many comedy elements that can't be solved by just relying on movie screens and line translation.

Therefore, comedy movies tend to be more regional.

On this movie, when the audience laughed unanimously, Ronan even had a dumbfounded expression. He often needed to think about it before he knew where the smile was and why the audience laughed.

Generally speaking, in Ronan's eyes, the quality of this film is probably the difference between "The Hangover 2" and "The Hangover."

However, the difference in cultural background was particularly obvious in Ronan and other audiences. After the full release of "The Wedding Proud", the IMDB scored an average of 7.4 points!

This is simply a super high score for a bad comedy!

What was even more unexpected by Ronan was that the film critics also appreciated "The Wedding Proud". Among the 68 film reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes website, not only the praise accounted for the majority, but the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes was as high as 70%. Eight!

Ronan fully understands why "The Wedding Proud Guy" once looked so ugly, but it can be included in the ranks of Hollywood's successful comedy movies in the new century.

The two parties are not on the same channel at all!

The ratings published by Cinema directly reflect the market barometer. In the live ratings of cinema audiences, the average score of "The Wedding Proud" is...A!

This really stunned all the films released during the same period.

Because of Cinema's audience ratings, facing first-line audiences, the most likely box office trend of the film can be reflected.

The other films released during the same period can only look up at "The Wedding Proud".

Because on the first day of the show, Cinema's data showed that the average score of "Eighty Days Universal World" was C, the lowest of the four large-scale opening movies.

The second-to-last is "Interstellar Legend" starring Van Diesel, who has the confidence of a fan and scored C+.

"Garfield" has an advantage in the subject matter, the shot is also good, and I got a B+.

"Wedding Proud" obviously occupies a certain advantage in the audience.

This advantage is directly reflected in the box office numbers. "Eighty Days Global World" has the largest investment but the lowest box office. It only received US$2.15 million in North America on the first day of its release on Friday.

Box office numbers prove that Walt Disney's abandonment of "Around the World in Eighty Days" is an extremely wise stop-loss strategy in time.

The second-to-last is "Interstellar Legend". Van Diesel's self-confidence cannot be exchanged for the recognition of the market and the audience. Only US$3.15 million was earned on the opening day.

"Garfield" performed well, steadily occupying the second place with 7.73 million U.S. dollars among the four large-scale new films.

"Wedding Proud" directly killed the other three movies released in the same period, and cut $14.56 million on Friday!

This achievement also allowed "The Wedding Proud" to surpass the $11.34 million of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", which was screened in the second week, and became the champion of the North American box office that day.

The reaction of movie fans online is more direct.

"The film "Interstellar Legend" is really bad, Van Diesel is overconfident, the narrative is chaotic, and it looks boring."

"This film made me leave the scene in anger for ten minutes. The dog's eyes are blind. What did Van Diesel film?"

"What the **** was filmed in "Around the World in Eighty Days"? The cartoons are not good when I was a child!"

"Imagination is a little bit, action drama is a little bit, comedy is a little bit, performance is also a little bit, and then added to "Around the World in Eighty Days" became a big difference!"

"With a 100 million U.S. dollar investment, Jack-Chen, with these resources on hand, it would be difficult to shoot such a bad shot! Unfortunately, Disney did it!

In contrast, "Garfield" is more of a positive comment from fans.

"Although Garfield has become a hero who saves the world, I still like this three-dimensional Garfield."

"Garfield is a good cat, this can be an excuse for all laziness and indulgence!"

"I like Garfield probably because we can see too much of ourselves in it: a little lazy, a little slippery, a little selfish but full of blind optimism and courage, smart and confident, and the sentence that everyone except me Can't bully you."

As for "The Wedding Proud", praise occupies an absolute majority.

"Of the four new movies released this weekend, "The Wedding Pride" is the best quality and the most worth seeing."

"I watched "Around the World in Eighty Days" at the premiere, watched "Interstellar Legends" on Friday, and watched "The Wedding Proud Guy" today. After watching two bad movies, I found that "The Wedding Proud Guy" was the best. It looks good, and good movies are really comparable."

"Agree! Compared with other movies in the same period, "The Wedding Proud" is definitely a good film!"

"Remember the point, both heroines are beautiful!"

"This movie has nothing to say. Both the laughter and the feelings are handled by the director just right. When the love is strong, the relationship between men and women is handled extremely delicately."

""The Wedding Proud" is the best comedy I've seen recently. It's awesome!"

In the Walt Disney headquarters, in the chairman's office, Michael Eisner looks at Tony Close across the desk.

The latter seemed a little nervous, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

"There is no way to save?" Michael Eisner asked.

Tony Close said: "Stop loss is the best choice. Fortunately, we didn't invest too much in the announcement..."

Michael Eisner raised his hand and interrupted him: "After this project, don't cooperate with the main creators."

"I understand." Tony Close hurriedly responded.

"Four films were drawn at the same time, with the lowest investment." Michael Eisner's eyes became more and more serious: "As a result, Ronan Anderson rushed out again. Relativity Entertainment..."

Tony Cross didn't know how to answer the conversation and just shut up.

Michael Eisner shook his head slightly. Although he knew that Relativity Entertainment was gradually threatening Walt Disney, with Disney's current situation, he couldn't spare the time, energy and resources to suppress this completely surfaced competitor.

Is it more important to play relativity entertainment or to ensure control of Walt Disney? Is this still optional?

Michael Eisner confessed carefully: "Tony, summing up the experience and lessons of this failure, "King Arthur" must not have a similar situation."

Tony Close said quickly: "I promise."

Michael Eisner waved his hand and Tony Close left the office.

When his subordinates left, Michael Eisner's complexion instantly tightened. As time went by, he gradually gained a sense of urgency. The dark tide that Disney covered under the sea seemed to surge at any time.

On Saturday, "Wedding Proud" still leads the new and old films in the North American film market.
