The bad movies recognized by Chinese audiences are regarded as treasures by North American audiences, and the box office exceeded 2 billion in 17 days to win the world

In the film market, there is a phenomenon that has attracted much attention: a film that is considered bad by Chinese audiences can achieve good box office performance in North America, this contrast is ironic and thought-provoking.

Take the most recent film, "Riding the Wind and Waves," which was criticized as a bad film when it was released in China. However, when the film was released in the North American market, it unexpectedly received a high box office, which was quite unexpected. Behind this phenomenon, the differences between Chinese and Western cultural concepts and the diversity of the film market are reflected.

First of all, cultural differences are an important reason for this phenomenon. Chinese audiences generally prefer commercial films with fast pacing and plot twists, while North American audiences pay more attention to the cultural connotation and emotional expression of films. "Riding the Wind and Waves" may seem uninnovative to Chinese audiences, but in the eyes of North American audiences, it may be favored for its unique cultural elements.

Secondly, marketing also has an important impact on the word-of-mouth of the film. In China, the box office of movies is often affected by star power and publicity efforts, which can lead to distorted word-of-mouth. In the North American market, the evaluation of audiences and film critics is more reflective of the quality of the film itself.

Overall, the diversity of the film market is such that a film may perform differently in different regions. We should respect the aesthetic concepts and cultural backgrounds of audiences in different regions, and pay more attention to the quality and connotation of the film itself. Only in this way can we create excellent films that are truly loved by the audience.
