Chapter 222 "People in Embarrassment" was released

"Don't blame the general environment for the low box office of the movie, Li Qian said that the key is to do a good job in the quality of the movie. ”

In the new issue of Lu Yu yesterday, Li Qian did not agree with the forced painting of "Avatar" from the 2D theater, and said that improving the quality of the film and satisfying the audience is the right way. ”

Li Qian's program alluded to the fact that some domestic films are not enterprising and engage in crooked ways. ”

After the new episode of Lu Yu was broadcast, Li Qian's remarks on the show also made the news.

Originally, "Avatar" has been painted from most of the 2D screens, and it has already caused heated discussions, saying everything, and some public figures inside and outside the industry have also spoken out, opposing and supporting.

However, the most talked about is the fact that "Avatar" is drawn from a 2D screen itself, and it is rare for Li Qian to implicitly criticize other domestic films like this.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the several movies that will be released in February are a little unsightly.

Clear-eyed people know that the previous news that sold badly was a movie to be released in February, and in order to win the sympathy of the audience, let them go into the cinema to support domestic films.

For this reason, Li Qian was also pulled out, trying to use "Perfect World", a movie with a super high reputation, to be blocked by "Avatar", and did not break the record Chinese film box office record, to sell a wave of miserable.

However, it was directly picked out by Li Qian, how embarrassing it was.

......

"This Li Qian, who does he think he is, here to guide the country!"

Berner Group, Yu Dong slammed the table, a big round face full of unhappiness.

"What crooked ways, don't promote his own movie before it is released?"

Fools can't see that Li Qian is saying that they don't do movies well, and they just think about crooked things.

This year, Berner has not had a good time, and the "Mulan" of the Chinese New Year file has failed miserably at the box office, and the box office has not yet cost high.

"October Siege" was a bumper harvest at the box office, but the box office did not meet his expectations, and the cost was high.

The upcoming "Big Soldier" also has an investment from Berner, and it is a big production with an investment of nearly 100 million, if he loses again, Yu Dong will really vomit blood.

If Li Qian hadn't named him, Yu Dong would have wanted to tear him up.

"Mulan" was killed by "Living Together in Time and Space", and "October Siege" was defeated by "Perfect World", this time "Big Soldiers" and "People in Embarrassment" produced by Li Qian were released on the same day.

In just half a year, three meetings, all of them are big productions, and the lowest cost is 80 million, if they are all killed by the same person, it is really a murderous heart.

Yu Dong was really angry, even Zhang Hao could see that Yu Dong was already festive with a long round face, usually smiling and amiable, but now a big round face is extremely ugly.

He remembered that when he was scolded by Zhang Weiping, Yu Dong's face was not so ugly, and it seemed that he was really angry.

Zhang Hao hurriedly reassured, "Yu Dong, now is not the time to be angry with him, the publicity of "Big Soldier and Little General" is the focus, the failure of "Agent Next Door" may affect the scheduling of the movie, there is no shortage of movies in February, and the theater chain is getting stronger and stronger." ”

Speaking of the next Spring Festival, Yu Dong calmed down a little.

"The Agent Next Door" is Cheng Long's best action comedy, as one of the few actors in China who has guaranteed a box office, Cheng Long's box office at every step of the movie has been close to 100 million, but this time the box office is dismal.

Although it is mainly the influence of "Avatar", but the theater is powerful, as long as you can't sell the box office, then I'm sorry.

Moreover, "Big Soldiers" was invested by Cheng Long, Yinghuang, Berner, and a company that does a laundry chain, and there is no investment from a company with its own theater.

There are also many other films in the same period, mainly "People in Embarrassment" supervised by Li Qian.

As long as none of the films produced by Li Qian fail, the theater votes with its feet, and they all know who to give more films.

What's more, the other party's Huaying joint distribution has four top 15 theater chains in the country behind it.

Yu Dong has already regarded "People in Embarrassment" as the biggest opponent, and even surpassed "Jinyiwei" starring Donnie Yen and Zhao Wei.

However, Yu Dong is still very confident.

The combination of Cheng Long and Wang Lihong, a superstar in the film industry, and a little king in the music world with countless fans, is it difficult to be able to defeat Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.

However, after thinking about it, Jay Chou, who is bigger than Wang Lihong and has more fans, starred in "Thorn Tomb", which ended miserably, and I regretted looking for Wang Lihong to star in my heart, who knew it would become so fast.

......

In the film market in February, the competition is still not small, in addition to Bernard, Huayang and Guangxian are all participating.

The love movie "Love in the City" starring Xie Tingfeng, Zhang Xueyou, and Wu Yanzu was invested by Huayang.

Guangxian also has the comedy movie "Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010" starring Gu Tianle, and the box office of "Happy Family 2009" they invested in last year was not bad.

The three major companies met in February.

But at this time, Li Qian was scolded, can't you make good money, with a rhythm, stimulate the audience's patriotic enthusiasm, everyone benefits, what are you pretending to be thirteen there, I don't know, I think it's the director of the film bureau.

However, there is no way to be unhappy, because what Li Qian said is not a problem at all.

The most troublesome thing is this.,There's no way to refute other people's words.,There's nothing to do but make trouble unreasonably.。

Silence does not mean that you will do nothing, you should continue to sell miserably, and also publicized some media to criticize Li Qian for not standing on his own side.

There are also big Vs on Weibo, it's too convenient for celebrities to speak out now, but whenever there is something, there are always some big Vs who like to stand up and write passionately and point fingers.

Not to mention the money to take.

"Exquisite egoist, Li Qian's own food is full, and he doesn't care whether others live or die. ”

A big V who is very active, has many fans, and participates in any topic, scolded Li Qian as a selfish ghost.

Roughly speaking, when "Avatar" was released, "Perfect World" was almost finished, and it didn't have much impact, so I said that, there was no overall situation at all, and there was no awareness of the industry group.

Li Qian also has a lot of fans, hundreds of thousands, and the audience is very good, which immediately caused a lot of controversy on Weibo.

"I think Li Qian is right, there are too many bad movies in China, and these film companies know the hype, and they don't bother to make good movies. ”

"Watching these news in the past two days, it seems that if you don't watch domestic movies, domestic movies are going to die, but you also have to let people watch it. ”

"That's right, if movies like "Perfect World", "The Wind" and "The Siege of October" are released now, I will definitely go back and watch them, "Avatar" has already been watched, and it will not affect me to watch other films. ”

"Li Qian said too much, it doesn't matter if his own movie is released first, if "Perfect World" is released now, there will definitely be a call for the protection of domestic films. ”

"Who said that, the "People in Embarrassment" invested by Li Qian will be released soon, Xu Guangtou and Baoqiang are also comedies, I will definitely go to see them. ”

"That small-budget comedy, you can't lose much money, if it's a blockbuster, the investment company may go bankrupt if you lose too much, and optoelectronics is also to protect domestic companies, otherwise they will all close down, who will make movies. ”

"If the company that makes a bad movie goes bankrupt, it will go out of business, the most disgusting thing is that "Agent Next Door" kept stopping "Avatar" when it was released, and stopped on the day of the release of "Confucius" invested by China Film, to put it bluntly, it was just for your own money. ”

"Uncle Long is the most unlucky this time, I think "Agent Next Door" is very good, but it is the most affected, I plan to watch "Big Soldier and Little General" for the second time and support Uncle Long!"

"Uncle Long is still filming at such an old age, he must support it!"

"Support Uncle Long!"

......

Looking at the lively Weibo, Li Qian felt very interesting.

Obviously, he didn't know who was looking for someone to criticize him, but Berner brought the rhythm to "Big Soldier" and played the bitter card for Cheng Long.

But it's really about the same, "Agent Next Door" changes to a normal schedule, and it must be no problem to break 100 million.

In the past few years, Cheng Long's movies have not been less than 90 million, not to mention that the market is expanding every year, this is an action comedy, at least a passing action comedy.

Now this box office, at most, is sixty or seventy million, and it is undoubtedly the biggest victim of the release of "Avatar".

As for "Confucius", there is no loss, most of the films vacated by "Avatar" were accepted by this film, but because of the failure of "Agent Next Door", there was one less opponent out of thin air.

said that it is to protect domestic films, but the main thing is to protect "Confucius".

Not only does the investment and publicity costs add up to more than 200 million, but the Ministry of Culture is also very concerned about this film, saying that it is to promote the Confucius fever and Confucianism fever to be passed on on on to the five continents.

But protection is protection, and there is nothing wrong with it.

In fact, what Li Qian found difficult to accept was that they wanted to use the audience's patriotic enthusiasm to hype and consume.

Chinese people are very sensitive, and as soon as some things are gaining momentum, they are prone to get excited.

Before the Olympics the year before last, France boycotted Carrefour, LV, perfume, Citroen.

In 05, Zhongguancun was blocked, and many stores removed neon electronic products.

A group of people were instigated to march at every turn.

Ironically, the marchers were holding banners boycotting neon products and had a Canon camera around their necks.

After the parade, I went to pick up the car, only to find that my Honda had been smashed, and I squatted on the side of the car and cried.

Lu Xun said: If the people do not have wisdom and courage, it is really very dangerous to rely on a so-called 'qi'. Now it's time to move on to the more solid work.

Domestic cars are done well, quality and price are advantageous, who will buy a foreign brand car.

If domestic movies are good, the audience will naturally come to watch them, and there is no need to forcibly remove imported films.

Besides, "Avatar" took a truck driver ten years to produce, not to mention domestic films, and there is nothing that can be compared with Hollywood blockbusters, but it can't be compared, and it's not a bad thing to recognize the gap.

I talk about patriotism at every turn, I really taste the sweetness, so I just make an anti-Japanese war film next time, and go around publicizing that I don't see that I am not patriotic and not Chinese.

If this continues, sooner or later, the audience will be disgusted with movies related to patriotism.

Just like between lovers, my girlfriend asks twenty words every day if you love me, and I felt sweet at first, but after a few months, even the fairies are annoyed.

......

With the addition of "Avatar", the Lunar New Year stalls continued to February, and the popularity has not decreased at all compared with December.

The first is the costume blockbuster "Jinyiwei" jointly produced by more than a dozen companies such as Magic Shadow Group, New Film Association, and Western Film Group.

Donnie Yen became popular after "Ip Man", even if the heroine Zhao Wei had just gone through the fiasco of "Mulan", it did not have much impact.

12 million on the first day, which is completely the potential for big sales.

Of course, Li Rengang's work, like "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", is a flying saucer hat and cauldron helmet, which will inevitably be complained about again.

Immediately afterwards, "Su Qier" starring Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhou Xun was released, and this film is still 3D.

"3D Drunken Fist Debuts on Screen"

Under this banner, it landed in major domestic theaters, and previously promoted that it was robbed by major film companies at the Berlin Film Festival.

However, reality has given them a slap in the face.

The 3D effect is almost non-existent, and the deceived audience immediately returns the film with practical actions.

What followed was a scolding, and the 3D screen was occupied by "Avatar", the 2D screen "Avatar" accounted for nearly 20%, and most of the rest was also taken away by "Jinyiwei", and there was nothing to do with "Su Qier".

Four million on the first day, 22 million on the first six days, and it rushed to grandma's house.

"Happy Events in the Flower Field 2010" was 3 million on the first day, which is not bad as a small-budget comedy.

As for word of mouth... Funny Hong Kong films, that's it.

The all-star lineup of the love movie "Love in the City" performed well, getting a box office of 7 million on the first day.

On the 12th, the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, "People in Embarrassment", which will be released in two days, also held a premiere ceremony in Beijing.

The Chinese New Year's Eve is the day of reunion, and it is one day earlier.

At this time, many people from all over the country were already on the train and rushing home.

Especially in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the Chinese New Year will be much cleaner, and those small cities and small counties will usher in a lively time of the year.

Regardless, the four words of Li Qian's producer also made the movie have enough attention since it started to promote it half a month ago, and the popularity of the premiere was a few points stronger than when "Living Together in Time and Space" was released.

After all, Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang themselves have a lot of popularity, not to mention that everyone knows it, but they are also actors that most audiences know and are familiar with.

At the premiere, Li Qian, who had not appeared for almost a month, was also facing siege from reporters.

"Director Li, you said before that you can't blame the general environment for the poor box office, presumably you are full of confidence in "People in Embarrassment", so how high do you think the box office of this movie can be, and does it have any hope of breaking 100 million?"

A small-budget movie, with 100 million yuan, is also for the sake of Li Qian's producer, otherwise, the reporter would be embarrassed to ask like this.

However, Li Qian smiled, "100 million is too conservative, we might as well be bold and aim higher, how about 200 million?"
