Chen Kexin has high hopes for "Vote for Fame"!

After he went north, his first movie was called "If Love", a song and dance genre film, which was very wrong for mainland audiences, and the box office was very bleak.

Of course, overseas copyrights are hot, otherwise, Media Asia and PropNex would not have thrown tens of millions of dollars to him...

Insert a sentence, Chen Kexin didn't understand the concept of blockbusters at first, he really felt that "If Love" spent seventy or eighty million, and invited Jacky Cheung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chi Zhenxi, and Zhou Xun, the star cast lineup is enough, it is definitely a blockbuster!

However, a mainland reporter told him, 'If Love' is not a blockbuster! ’

He didn't understand, but then he understood!

"Wu Ji" is a blockbuster, how can you see it?

It's very simple, on the day of "Wu Ji", there were 11 halls in a theater, and none of them were left for "If Love" overnight!

"There is not a single country in the world that is like this. Why? Because we don't have enough screens, when you want to watch a blockbuster, 11 halls are not enough. ”

So, he decided to make a blockbuster!

"Casting a Name" is, of course, a blockbuster, with a production budget of 300 million yuan for external publicity.

Of course, overseas copyrights have been sold for around 15 million US dollars, so the mainland box office can have more than 200 million, and through DVD, audio and video copyrights, etc., the cost can probably be recovered!

Holding Li Lianjie, Andy Lau, and Jin Chengwu in his hands, Chen Kexin is full of confidence!

And the distributor Yu Dong was very confident, and after watching the film, he personally told him, 'I dare not say 500 million, 300 million is stable!'

What is the concept?

surpassed Zhang Yimou's "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and was crowned the box office champion director of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait!

Of course, it can't be said that he is not worried at all, and the only thing he mentioned slightly is "The Assembly".

After all, it is the work of pants.

But he doesn't particularly care about it -- how can the common people recognize a movie about the People's Liberation Army? And there are no stars, and it is dirty from beginning to end.

He judged that the box office of "The Assembly" was at most 100 million.

I didn't expect "People in Embarrassment" to be killed...

By the time they noticed, "People in Embarrassment" had already gained momentum, and they couldn't stop it!

......

In the past few days, the crew of "People in Embarrassment" has been asked many questions about "Casting Names", and they basically avoid answering, they are really urgent, and they say "The movie has not been released yet, and we are not good at evaluating it"...

Today, as usual, the question of the "Petition for Nomination" was asked.

Shen Mengxi changed his usual routine and replied positively: "I know the story of "Casting a Name", adapted from the four strange cases of the late Qing Dynasty "Stinging Horse"..."

The reporter who asked the question paused for a moment, then realized that Shen Mengxi wanted to say something, and hurriedly asked: "... Do you have any expectations for "Vote for the Name"?"

"I don't have any expectations, their release means that our "People in Embarrassment" is going to be released, what can I expect?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Blockbuster, a blockbuster with an investment of $40 million, our "People in Embarrassment" is not worth mentioning at all!"

After a pause, Shen Mengxi said in a sincere tone: "I hope you will report more about our "People in Embarrassment", and we must add a sentence to see that under the premise of our movie's reputation and box office trend, let the major theaters leave two halls, it's really not good, it's okay to leave one hall!"

The journalists were satisfied...

At this stage, the Chinese media industry has developed an aversion to blockbusters, no matter what the quality of the movie is, if you make a blockbuster, it is the original sin!

Domestic blockbusters = bad movies, almost all film critics agree!

Such a good domestic comedy as "People in Embarrassment" was squeezed out because of a bad movie?

It's called a bursting point!

On the same day, at the publicity meeting of "Vote for Fame", Chen Kexin was asked this question, and the latter paused for a moment, and then forcibly replied, "I believe that the market is fair, and good movies must have film schedules"...

Tsk, you complained that "If Love" wasn't in that tone!

Chen Kexin remembered Shen Mengxi's name right away, and felt that this guy was disgusting!

Hehe, the disgusting people are still to come!

A day later, on the 12th, "Casting a Name" was released.

With Li Lianjie, Andy Lau, and Jin Chengwu in charge, the cast star effect is obvious, and the box office on the first day is quite good, breaking 10 million on the first day!

To be exact: six hours to collect tens of millions!

The distributor is China Film + - Bona, and the dominance is proper, which also makes the filmmaker temporarily relieved.

It's a pity that the audience didn't give face and sprayed wildly on the Internet.

'Huge amount of garbage, a layer of unchanged acting!'

'Any film with Xu Jinglei is definitely a bad movie!'

I don't like this film, I just don't like it, the scene is big enough and vigorous enough, but it just can't move people's hearts. ’

Chen Kexin is a historical idiot, after taking Shucheng, he inexplicably wants to attack Suzhou and then Nanjing. Please look at the map. To take Shucheng, you should continue to go 100 kilometers south to take Anqing, and then go down the river to take Wuhu and Nanjing. How did you get to Suzhou? The battle to defend Anqing in history was fought with great tears and tears. ’

Especially the last one, which was directly quoted by many film critics, by the way, the historical level of the screenwriter under Diss 'Return to Nanjing, that's called Jiangning Mansion!Which Qing army dares to call it that, there will immediately be a secret music saying that you and Changmao are all the way! So Hong Kong directors are really not suitable for making historical films!'

All bad reviews!

Even if someone says, 'I think it's real.' ’

It's also useless, because most netizens say it's bad!

Obviously, being led to the rhythm!

Shen Mengxi's hundreds of thousands are not in vain.

When the publisher saw these bad reviews, he was really angry!

Jinnyima has nothing to do, and is entangled in the name of the place name.

You can do it, no, don't force it!

......

"It's not very useful, now the market is hungry, "Vote for Fame" has big stars, and it is a big production, you see, this movie is at least 150 million in the first week!"

Beijing, Mengxi Studio, Shen Mengxi chatted with Zhao Jinsong about the box office problems of "Casting a Name"...

At this stage, the impact of online public opinion on a movie accounts for up to 10%, and it may be a little smaller!

Especially for the Chinese New Year, "People in Embarrassment" is good, but it can only be regarded as a side dish, and for many audiences, blockbusters are the main meal.

is like what Chen Kexin said: 'Because of the high ticket prices of the theater, mainland audiences do not go to the theater to watch two or three films a year, so he must choose the biggest, and he chooses to watch pirated movies at home. ’

"Then let's smear it like this, does it work?"

"Of course there is an effect, you haven't watched the box office trend of "People in Embarrassment" in the past few days is more than 2 million in a single day, according to this trend, the third weekend will be reported to collect 10 million, we will be able to have 84 million, as long as the cumulative box office exceeds 95 million, I will spend money to buy the box office, and I will let him exceed 100 million!"

Zhao Jinsong nodded: "The box office of over 100 million feels different from the box office of 95 million!"

"Of course!"

Shen Mengxi also nodded affirmatively...
