"Lao Guo, this shooting is a bit messy, the sense of separation is serious, if it weren't for creativity, big scenes, and good performance of the actors, it is estimated that it would be troublesome. ”

The next morning, Guo Fan came to the company, and Li Qian talked about the film "The Adventures of Li Xianji" again.

Guo Fan smiled bitterly, "I didn't communicate well with Li Yang, I said it well at the beginning, but when we got to the set, we had different ideas, he himself has a very strong Beijing flavor, which is very contradictory to sci-fi blockbusters." ”

"Two directors who are on an equal footing, with different styles, couldn't be more normal. ”

Li Qian shook his head, what kind of filming it was, he knew in his heart, movies and short films are not the same thing at all, comic movies and live-action movies are not the same thing, plus the two directors get together, it is strange that there is no problem.

However, Li Qian didn't dwell on it for long, it was difficult to explode at the box office, but it would definitely not be bad.

"Okay, this film is over, just do a good job of publicity later, and be busy for another month, and have a good rest for a while. ”

"It's really a little tired, two movies in two years, the whole person is prostration, and I don't know how you keep working at such a high intensity, boss, you don't look tired at all. ”

Guo Fan, who looked tired, looked at Li Qian, who was in high spirits, and sighed in his heart, people are more popular than people.

The frequency is high and long-lasting, and the efficiency is high, except for Li Qian, there is really no one.

Li Qian shrugged, he can't say that he is standing on the shoulders of giants, there is no need to take detours, saving a lot of time to think, in fact, it is much easier, both physical and psychological.

It's like the same game, some people are super difficult to play with micro-krypton, but Li Qian is open-hanging, which is easier than that of heavy krypton players.

Guo Fan complained here for two minutes, and then said energetically, "Boss, the third part of "The Three-Body Problem" has been out for a year, and I have also studied this series thoroughly this year, and next year I want to try to see if I can adapt this series into a movie, if I can, it will be an epic series comparable to "The Lord of the Rings"!"

Li Qian was speechless, Guo Fan shouted every year to make a sci-fi blockbuster, as long as he mentioned a sci-fi blockbuster, no matter how tired he was, he would be resurrected with full blood, and he was so excited that he couldn't be more excited.

"You have been studying "The Three-Body Problem" while filming this year, and you have studied it all thoroughly?"

"Almost, I read it. Guo Fan smiled, the third part was only published at this time last year, and he was busy filming, how could he have so much time.

"Almost? When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll be sprayed by the reader to the point of being autistic. ”

Li Qian shook his head, "After this busy time, take a good rest and then think about other things." ”

Guo Fan said, "I can't be idle, or I'll do it for you, Wen Muye is busy with his first movie, Su Lun went on a trip again, Lao Qi is still visiting southern Henan to find materials, and you don't have an execution, and I am also very interested in the film "Truman's World". ”

“... You can come if you want. ”

After doing the director, he went back to the execution, Guo Fan is estimated to be the first one, and Li Qian did not refuse.

Guo Fan also wanted to talk to Li Qian about "Truman's World" with great interest, but Li Qian was rushed by Li Qian to take the actor to the roadshow.

......

The release of "The Adventures of Li Xianji" has completely heated the competition for the Chinese New Year.

The box office was released on the first day of the next day, and only 34 million were obtained.

This data is similar to "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Longmen Flying Armor", the former is 2300 in six hours at night, the latter is 30 million after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and "The Adventures of Li Xianji" is 34 million in a whole day.

However, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has no opponents on the first day, with more than 60% of the film schedule, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" only 40% of the film schedule on the first day, and "The Adventures of Li Xianji" faces the competition of two blockbusters, and the film schedule is only 31%.

The three blockbusters shared 94% of the film schedule, and the remaining more than a dozen films shared 6% of the film schedule.

The industry is like this, the winner takes all, even if there is a dark horse, it can't be black in this situation.

In the entire first week, "The Adventures of Li Xianji" got 152 million box office, which was about the same as the other two blockbusters.

The word-of-mouth is also similar, mixed with good and bad, and it is a passing sci-fi blockbuster in itself.

The animation party is not satisfied with the movie, and the audience who watched the movie first felt that it was good, mainly because those big scenes and scenes that traveled through time and space again and again were more exciting, and the performance of Mr. Yu Motokura at the end was a plus.

The last look, the Internet is full of comments about the explosion of acting skills.

A 20-minute anime is easy to shoot, and an 800-minute TV series is easy to shoot, but a 90-minute movie is precisely the hardest.

This year's Lunar New Year is also a rare time when there are no word-of-mouth and box office double harvest movies, and the three movies have started an unprecedented scuffle.

Although "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" made the theater unhappy and the duration was longer, the distribution contract signed by Zhang Weiping and the theater for 2 points more was conditional.

The box office is less than 500 million, and the producer takes 45%, which is 2% more than the normal 43%.

For the part of the box office exceeding 500 million, the producer can only take 41%, which is two points less than the normal 43%.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy the theater is, they will support it, and the higher the box office, the more profitable they will be, which is the advantage of "Thirteen Hairpins".

Although "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has many shortcomings, in terms of action, it only makes the action design to the extreme, and the editing is too fast, even so fast that it is a little messy.

And this kind of fastness will seem to lack texture, making the audience feel like they are watching a stop-motion animation that mixes CG and physical shooting.

However, the 3D effect is not bad, showing a variety of depth-of-field scenes and dynamic objects oncoming effects, and it is relatively good in this regard.

Whether it's a big battle scene where sand and rocks are flying all over the sky, or a big battle scene where blood drops from blades and hidden weapons, the performance of 3D imaging is good.

And in order to highlight the three-dimensional effect, some locations, weather, and fighting settings were also deliberately strengthened, and the scenes looked much stronger than previous martial arts films.

There is also an additional Blackwater City in Western Xia, the one mentioned in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is very in line with Xu Ke's mysticism and romantic fantasy.

Although there are some flaws, in the current decline of martial arts, it is also a rare martial arts boutique in the past ten years.

Each of the three films has its own strengths and weaknesses, and none of them can stand out and stand out from the crowd.

At the box office, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" got a box office of 120 million in the third week, and the total box office came to 450 million.

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" got 160 million in the second week, and the total box office in two weeks was exactly 300 million.

The gap between the box office of the three films in the early stage is very small, and the results of the Chinese New Year file have become confusing.

This also cheered up Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping again, and the next New Year's Day holiday is the time to decide the ownership of the champion of the Lunar New Year, and anyone may stand out.

It is still unknown who killed the deer.

However, insiders were surprised by this result.

Although no company, any director, does not want to see every time Li Qian invests in a film dominates the same schedule.

If it's like this every time, no one else really has to play.

However, during this year's Spring Festival, Summer Vacation, and Singles' Day, the three films directed and invested by Li Qian were all swept away.

The box office of the three movies "Time Planning Bureau", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" has exceeded 2.8 billion.

Last year, the Spring Festival "People in Embarrassment" ranked first, the National Day "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" ranked first, the Singles' Day "Warm and Containing Light" ranked first, and the Chinese New Year file "I Am Legend" ranked first, and the four movies invested by Li Qian were all the first in the same period.

Although they don't want to see this situation, all filmmakers have to admit that whenever a movie with Li Qian's investment is released, they will actually think this way in their hearts, but they just don't want to believe it.

Therefore, when it really comes to this time, it will be unexpected, rather than happy for the first time.

Of course, after the accident, he was full of excitement, even if Li Qian couldn't defeat it, at least the movies he invested in were no longer the same as in the past two years, which were also unbeatable.

There are also people who beat their chests and regretted that they did not participate in the New Year.

"Alas!"

Huang Zhongjun sighed heavily, and slapped the arm of the chair with his right hand, his face full of remorse.

"In this case, if any movie "Zodiac", "Painted Skin 2", and "1942" is released, the champion of the Chinese New Year file will definitely win!"

I regret that the performance of the three movies is average, such a great opportunity, but it is good for them Huayang Media.

Next year's three heavyweight movies, Cheng Long's modern action comedy "Zodiac" filmed again after many years, and it involves regaining his country's national treasure, it must not be said that it is inevitable that it will be a big hit, and it has always been a plus in terms of national emotion.

Needless to say, "Painted Skin 2" is a sequel to a high-grossing and high-reputation movie, which is a big hit with your eyes closed.

As for "1942", this big production with an investment of 200 million yuan is the absolute trump card of Huayang Media next year!

If any one is placed in this year's Lunar New Year file, there is basically no problem with overpowering the three blockbusters that are being released.

Huang Zhonglei also looked like he had lost millions, "If I had known, I should have finished filming one of them earlier!"

The Chinese New Year file is so lively, if it overpowers the combination of Zhang Yimou, Xu Ke + Li Lianjie in one fell swoop, as well as the new film produced by Li Qian and 500 million director Guo Fan, then Huayang Media will be infinitely beautiful, and the stock market alone can harvest a lot of money!

But now I can only regret it.

Just like people who lose in betting, they often regret the result, regret that they shouldn't have been in the first place, thinking that they knew what to do earlier, and in hindsight.

I didn't expect that the three blockbusters in the Chinese New Year file were all movies that hit 600 million, except for the previous "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Tangshan Earthquake", and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", there are no films with a box office of 600 million.

If Li Qian knew what they thought, he really wanted to ask the Huang family brothers two words.

Who gave you courage?

I really thought that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" won 1.6 billion at the box office, and the small-budget romantic comedy "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" sold 600 million, so they didn't make money, and even this was okay with them.

Take someone else's box office to crookedly, and there is no one.
