Chapter 43: Let It Fuck Off!(1/5)

Chen Guofu rarely speaks big!

His image has always been polite and elegant...

Why all of a sudden?

He's in a hurry!

There are too many National Day movies this year: Zhou Runfa's "Tongquetai", Zhang Ziyi + Zhang Dongjian's "Dangerous Relationship", Fan Cake also has "Second Exposure", and "The Big Winner" directed by Xu Zheng, written by Shen Mengxi, and produced by Ning Hao...

The National Day cake is so big, and the opponents are not much weaker than you!

How much can you take for "Tai Chi"?

Moreover, Chen Guofu himself may not be optimistic about "Tai Chi", but the cost of the upper and lower parts plus 220 million yuan is really nothing to sell - the actor is not kung fu superstar Li Lian, but a martial arts champion Yuan Xiaochao with no acting experience, and director Feng Delun only has experience in shooting small-budget movies.

He had to grit his teeth...

Because he made this project happen!

It is said that Huayi is not very optimistic about "Tai Chi" internally, and Chen Guofu insists on doing it...

Because "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" and Huayi Brothers became involved, they successively supervised the production of films such as "No Thieves in the World", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Tangshan Earthquake", "1942", "Li Mi's Conjecture" and other films, becoming the first "10 billion producer" in the mainland.

In the eyes of outsiders, Huayi and Chen Guofu are a match made in heaven, but Chen Guofu, who was born as a director, still knows himself as an artist.

He has a classic quote: Making movies is like gambling, because other industries will have some standards for judging, but the art industry does not have a unified standard that can be referred to!

He played the role of "gambler" in Huayi!

But this contradicts the investor's desire to make a movie for profit.

If you bet right, everyone will be happy.

After Huayi went public, although it made a lot of money in 2010 "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Tangshan Earthquake".

But in 2011 there was already a downward trend.

In addition to "New Shaolin Temple", which may have made a little money, movies such as "Global Love", "Snowflake Secret Fan", "Starry Sky", "Happy Magic", "The Legend of the Little Water Tiger of the Old Master" and other movies have suffered heavy losses.

It is difficult to verify how much responsibility Chen Guofu bears for these money-losing movies, but the new directors invested by Huayi in those years were basically from Taiwan...

Lin Shuyu in "Starry Sky", Du Jiayi in "Turning the Mountain"...

Both of these films are huge losses!

Especially "Starry Night", the cost of 15 million US dollars, the box office did not reach 15 million yuan...

In 2012, Huayi urgently needed to occupy the first place in the market, at least to compete with Tang Ren - he had to make a blockbuster.

So, drummed up a steampunk + kung fu blockbuster!

But that's not a reason for you to be arrogant.

Shen Mengxi said: "In this way, you let the official Weibo of "Big Winner" reply: Domestic comedies have almost reached the stage of one billion, either "Big Winner" or "One Shot to the End", "Thai Embarrassment", I advise my peers to consume the juice..."

It's not over yet, Zhao Jinsong said again: ""Ring Messenger" may also be set for the National Day!"

"The Ring Messenger?"

"A Sino-American co-production... It is said that it is DMG Investment..."

"Report upward, we don't dare to occupy the National Day file in the source code, why is it?"

Zhao Jinsong nodded: "Then I'll contact a few more people..."

“... Well, it's better to contact Tong Gang directly..."

......

"Now there are a lot of foreign films, a completely American story, some domestic investment funds, invest a little money, add some Chinese elements, and bring a Chinese actor, it is called a 'co-production', in fact, it can only be regarded as a 'stick-up film', which is very scary!"

"At present, due to the injection of domestic funds, some imported films have entered the mainland market as "co-productions" without any restrictions, which not only makes a large amount of film investment funds flow away, but also squeezes out the market space and poses a threat to domestic films. Co-productions do not account for the proportion of account-sharing films, and their entry into the mainland market is actually equivalent to increasing the share of imported films, which will naturally squeeze the box office of domestic films. ”

"For commercial blockbusters with a cost of more than $100 million, it is already customary for multiple countries to inject funds, and from this point of view, most Hollywood blockbusters are already co-productions!"

"I'm very disgusted with this opportunistic way, we do co-productions, the main purpose is to borrow a boat to go to sea, open up overseas markets, and by the way, arrange behind-the-scenes personnel to learn overseas technology, "Source Code" Chinese staff accounted for 13, "The Great Wall", Chinese staff accounted for 35, post-production, special effects, 75% are produced in China... That's what co-productions are all about. If I can speculate, then I will immediately arrange a supporting role for "The Hunger Games", does it mean that "The Hunger Games" is also a co-production?"

"If that's the case, then I won't make domestic movies in the future, and I will immediately transform into an investment fund and specialize in Hollywood blockbusters..."

Shen Mengxi posted a Weibo...

Directly @ the General Directorate of Films.

In fact, it is for "Ring Messenger", "Iron Man 3" and "Cloud Atlas"...

All three films are co-productions!

It's very unhappy, why can the project be established as a co-production?

Why is the focus returning to co-productions?

The main thing is still boring...

"Teacher's Diary" is one-on-two, first fighting head-on with "The Wind Listener", and word of mouth and box office steadily suppressed "The Wind Listener"...

"The Wind Listener" is a weekly news + Liang Chaowei, released on the same day, and at the end of the first week, "The Wind Listener" only had a box office of 102 million;

The next week, "Teacher's Diary" encountered "Disappearing Bullet" again, and it was still true.

"Disappearing Bullet" was released on Tuesday, August 14, with a box office of 79 million in the first week, and "Teacher's Diary" had a box office of 92 million the next week, with a cumulative box office of 242 million...

word-of-mouth, the popularity has steadily overpowered "Disappearing Bullet"...

No, it's a little worse in terms of popularity, "Disappearing Bullet" has Yang Xiaomi...

There were also scandals before the release of "Disappearing Bullet", and Yang Xiaomi finally 'combined' with her idol to star in the movie - come, the picture above!

But it's useless, Xie Qiwang's movie, no matter who he plays with or who he stars in, as long as he is the protagonist, there will be no box office of more than 200 million!

Yang Xiaomi can't take it either!

So, Shen Mengxi is a little bored...

He likes to watch the circle of friends when he is bored, and then he saw Wang Changtian complaining about "Ring Messenger" airborne National Day file...

Resonated!

A few of us are fighting and fighting, and you are a fart in "Ring Messenger"?

Why did you enter the National Day file?

Still a co-production?

Xu Qing plays a foreigner's daughter-in-law, does she appear, it doesn't take 3 minutes, this is also called a co-production?

It is said that there are people on the DMG...

Shen Mengxi is too lazy to care about these, "Batman" and "Spider-Man" must be painted on the same day, why can "Ring Messenger" enter the National Day file?
