With Jon Landau's suggestion, Boss Jia went straight to his Sweet Noodle Sauce platform. Sure enough, there were already a lot of comments, many of which were over a thousand words long.
And these comments were varied, with both criticism and praise.
The main criticism was that they couldn't understand some of the translations, some of the scenes were too violent, and some of the plot was very old-fashioned. Oh, yes, there were also some women who criticized that the whole movie was almost all men, and there were almost no female characters, which was a serious violation of women's rights.
As for praise, there were also many. First of all, it was praised that this was a movie with all men. Many men said that they hadn't seen such a masculine movie in a long time.
Next was the movie's scenes. They said that they seemed to have come to another fantasy world. It was hard to imagine that there were such beautiful cities and villages 2,000 years ago.
Then there were the war scenes in the movie. This was what all the audience unanimously praised because all the war scenes were filmed by real people. When the crew promoted the movie, they also took out the thousands of extras that the crew specially recruited and then underwent military training that lasted for half a year. Then, they took them to film the details of the war scenes.
These details were undoubtedly real, and such a realistic war scene was destined to be one of the unsurpassable pinnacles in history.
In addition, there were all kinds of black question marks in the comment section, such as what was the Great Han Dynasty, what was the Heaven is dead, and what was the meaning of Satan's ascension?
There were also questions about why the descendants of the dignified emperor, who should be at least a Duke, lived in the house of the untouchables. Anyway, there were many questions that didn't understand the plot.
Then there were some netizens who had some understanding of Eastern history who answered the questions in a friendly manner, and then accidentally spoiled some of the plot, such as Lu Bu, who appeared at the end, was the world's first general and so on.
Then there were people who asked whether Lu Bu was more powerful or King Arthur was more powerful, who would win if the two of them fought and so on.
Many people might not be able to answer this question in their lifetime, but for FGO players, it was very simple. They could tell you immediately that King Arthur was more powerful than Lu Bu.
Because King Arthur had a 5-star gold card and Lu Bu only had a 1-star white card.
In short, the discussion in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Yellow Turban Rebellion" section of the Sweet Noodles Sauce Network was still very hot. Boss Jia could feel a strong heat from it.
This atmosphere instantly made Boss Jia feel relieved. The movie itself could be considered a great success if so many people were discussing it passionately.
What happened after that confirmed Boss Jia's guess.
The box office of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" did not have many surprises. It did not start high or low, nor did it start low or go high. The box office trend of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" in the North American market was very much in line with the curve of special effects blockbusters in the entire Hollywood market.
The box office exploded in the first week of release and then began to slowly decline. By the second month, the box office basically did not change much.
In the end, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" grossed 550 million USD in the entire North American market. Although there was still a huge gap between it and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", as a movie that purely focused on Hua Xia culture and history, this was actually quite good.
After all, the history behind the novel and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was too unfamiliar to the people of the United States.
In particular, many people of the United States even thought that the Ying State and France were both on the European continent. Otherwise, how could they love and hate each other?
Therefore, many people of the United States were naturally repulsed by Hua Xia culture movies that were completely unfamiliar to them and had no interest in going to the cinema to watch them.
This was quite similar to "The Lord of the Rings". In fact, "The Lord of the Rings" was also a completely unfamiliar world. Therefore, when "The Lord of the Rings" was released, the box office in North America was only about 800 million USD.
This was because the "The Lord of the Rings" novel had tens of millions of loyal readers in the Western world. In addition, the entire "The Lord of the Rings" was also based on Western culture. There was no barrier between the two, which allowed the box office of "The Lord of the Rings" to reach 800 million USD.
From this point of view, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" was quite good.
And at least after the movie ended, a large number of posts were refreshed every day in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" section of Sweet Noodles Sauce and the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" section of Tieba 51. Everyone was fiercely discussing the relevant plot, and the relevant moderators were very distressed to delete all kinds of spoiler posts.
As for the countries outside the United States, the results were also quite good. The first to bear the brunt was Fusang. In the end, it actually sold 29.8 billion yen at the box office, directly breaking the 25.8 billion yen box office record set by "Titanic". It successfully reached the top and became the number one movie in Fusang's box office rankings.
And the box office of nearly 30 billion yen was equivalent to more than 200 million USD.
In addition, other countries in the Pan-China Civilization Circle contributed about 30 million USD to the box office one after another. Even the Korean film market, which was criticized by all film critics, contributed 10 million USD to the box office.
However, Wanwan, which was closest to the Hua Xia culture, did not have a single cent at the box office because it was not allowed to be released at all. However, it was said that the DVD sales were quite good.
In addition, in Europe, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" also achieved good box office results, but the total box office was only tens of millions of USD.
In the end, the global box office of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" stabilized at about 850 million USD.
This result was undoubtedly an epic achievement for the entire Hua Xia film industry. Although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" borrowed a lot of Hollywood's post-production special effects and capital operations.
However, the main shooting team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" was Hua Xia, the actors were also Hua Xia people, and the culture contained in it was the Hua Xia in Hua Xia. Therefore, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" was undoubtedly a Hua Xia film.
And a pure Hua Xia film could achieve 850 million USD in the global box office, which was indeed amazing.
Although it was not that there were no Hua Xia films with a global box office of more than 800 million USD in the future, 90% of the box office came from the domestic market of Hua Xia. There were no films that could really break out of the circle in Hua Xia.
And "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" brought this amazing result.
And this news also made countless Hua Xia people excited and sighed. They didn't expect that foreigners would like such a movie so much. It was indeed one of the four famous novels of Hua Xia. In the future, they might be able to bring the other three novels to the world.
It was worth mentioning that after the global market of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" exploded, the box office of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" in Hua Xia began to rise substantially. Many Hua Xia people who had not seen this movie before ran to buy a ticket.
Well, since foreigners were so happy and liked it so much, this must be a good movie. There was no mistake!
In addition, many Hua Xia film critics and media who originally criticized "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" also changed their opinions and said that this was a very good movie.
Since the United States people were so optimistic, there must be something unusual in this movie. These film critics went to watch it twice and thrice, and then they really found some treasures and new ideas. This led to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Yellow Turban Rebellion" ushering in a new wave of domestic box office increase.
This made Boss Jia feel very helpless. When would the people of the country be able to completely abandon the inferiority in their bones?
