Text 611 Domestic and Foreign Audiences Who Are Frustrated at the Release of "Thor"

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In late May, the annual summer vacation officially kicked off. Even in North America, the summer vacation has almost started for more than half a month.

    And the much-anticipated Marvel's second personal movie "Thor" was also released at this time.

    Compared with "Iron Man", most Chinese audiences are actually not very interested in this movie.

    After all, there are a few Chinese people who know about Norse mythology. If you shoot Greek mythology, there may be many people who are interested. After all, many people have watched cartoons or story books about Greek mythology when they were young.

    Especially the goddess Athena, and the fire-stealing Prometheus who appeared in elementary school textbooks, are considered to be one of the most popular foreign mythological figures in China.

    Comparable to them is God, Jesus, Satan and Lucifer.

    Even these three are not necessarily comparable, and many people only know the names of God and Jesus, but the specific stories are not clear.

    As for Satan and Lucifer, thanks to the popular web novels.

    Especially the fallen angel Lucifer, who is basically either a villain or a protagonist comrade-in-arms. The appearance rate of Western fantasy-themed web articles is as high as 90%. The oriental mythological figure who can be compared with him may be Chi You.

    Two people, this is the master, that is the big brother, that is the younger brother, that is the patriarch, and that is the big boss behind the scenes

    The two big villains of the East and West myths have a second spring in online articles, and the popularity has become a poisonous point, making readers schizophrenic before it can be regarded as subdued.

    As a result, many old readers of Internet articles in later generations sometimes feel uncomfortable when they hear these two names, all of which were hurt at the time.

    In contrast, the name of Thor, the Norse mythology god of thunder, is too unpopular. Maybe some people consider the name of Marvel, but the box office will not be too high.

    After all, "Iron Man" was the first film, and the box office in the mainland was just over 100 million.

    When it came to the second part, with the accumulation of the previous work, it was considered to have made progress. The box office exceeded 200 million, and it entered the top fifteen of the year, barely considered a hit.

    Marvel also did not focus on the mainland. The main battlefields of "Thor" are still in North America and Europe, followed by Asia and Australia.

    United States, New York State

    Bob and Will walked into a theater talking and laughing, bought movie tickets for "Thor", and discussed in full swing how Marvel would make this movie.

    Both of them are hardcore Marvel fans, and unlike many Marvel fans at this time who hold a wait-and-see or even resist attitude towards film adaptations, they both support filmization and even understand a certain degree of magic reform.

    What should I say about the original Marvel comics? It was born in the 1940s and has been born for more than half a century. Many stories do not conform to the concept of the times and modern people.

    Even the original comics of Marvel are constantly deleting and rectifying, frequently paralleling time and space, constantly blurring time, eating settings and changing character settings have become commonplace.

    Therefore, it is normal for a movie adaptation to change the plot setting, or even deviate from the original work, and set up a new story line alone.

    For example, Iron Man, this character is far less lovable in the original book than in the movie, and even in some comics or universes, he is a pure villain.

    Therefore, the popularity of the original Iron Man is very low, and he is regarded as a second-line hero. Not only Iron Man, but the popularity of the entire Avengers is not particularly strong.

    Marvel's real top players are Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, etc. This can also be felt from the time when these characters were filmed and the copyright was sold.

    If these characters are not popular, how could Marvel sell the copyright at a high price and start filming many years earlier than the Marvel universe.

    Therefore, Marvel first opened the movie universe with Iron Man, and many people were sweating in their hearts.

    But I didn't expect Iron Man in the movie to be so brilliant, and the actors were well chosen, which attracted a large number of fans, making Iron Man leap from a second-line hero to a new top-ranking Marvel.

    But even so, Iron Man barely ranks among the top ten most popular superheroes, and the number one ranking will always be Marvel's own son, Spider-Man.

    Also because of the success of "Iron Man", Bob and Will accepted it well, and even looked forward to the freshness of the new story.

    For them, the special effects and real-life interpretation of the movie version are more immersive than comics, and the emotional release and fighting of the actors are also more powerful and realistic.

    And there are more and more Marvel fans like them who have turned their backs. Except for some diehards, everyone has gradually opened their minds.

    Even if you see a plot that does not match the original, you will comfort yourself, just like watching a fan story.

    Carrying Coke and popcorn, Bob and the two came to the movie theater after checking the tickets.The hero of "Iron Man" was Robert Downey Jr., a bad artist with a bad reputation at the time.

    Hemsworth, the hero of "Thor", is just a nobody.

    Cao Xuan's fame and influence are more than one level higher than those two at the time. Even if Hawkeye's popularity is low, it is enough to make up for it, not to mention there is a Black Widow who exploded in "Iron Man 2".

    The turbulent public opinion did not reduce the confidence of Marvel and Cao Xuan.

    Whether "Eagle Eye" is a dragon or a worm, we will know at the end of the year

    Unlike North America, where public opinion is severely divided, in Asia and China, supporters for Cao Xuan joining Marvel accounted for the vast majority.

    The discussion on the Internet was very lively, and it even boosted the box office of "Thor". Many viewers went to the cinema to watch the movie, just for the one-minute shot of Cao Xuan.

    Not only in the mainland, but also in Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places. Audiences who did not intend to watch the movie entered the theater because of Cao Xuan.

    It is no exaggeration to say that Cao Xuan's one-minute guest appearance can at least add US$10 million to the box office of "Thor" in Asia, and the mainland alone will lose 30 million yuan.

    Although this is largely due to the curiosity of everyone rushing to see Cao Xuan as a superhero, it is also possible to see Cao Xuan's influence in Asia.

    ? Upon hearing the news, the American media made a serious statement¡ª¡ª

    "With just a one-minute guest appearance, Cao brought hundreds of thousands of Asian audiences into theaters. The number one superstar in Asia will be Marvel's biggest reliance on the Asian market."

    Marvel is also very excited, and the ticket warehouse in Asia is very strong. This time, "Thor" is expected to reach 50 million US dollars, second only to North America and Europe.

    It also makes them wonder, if "Eagle Eye" and "Avengers" starring Cao Xuan are released, what kind of surprises will the Asian box office give them, and will they hope to overtake Europe ?
