Chapter 286: I hope I don't get trapped
The Spring Festival holiday has passed, and in just seven days, the ending of the Spring Festival stalls has been decided, and "Time Planning Bureau" can already determine the box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls in advance.
Under the super word-of-mouth, it also maintained a stable trend after the holiday.
On the eighth day of the first day of Thursday, the first working day, he still got 14 million box office, and he also got 77 million in the next three days of the weekend.
In the eleven days of its release, the total box office was as high as 361 million.
The big production "New Shaolin Temple" with an investment of 200 million yuan got 37 million in four days, and the total box office came to 197 million.
During the holidays, there are more people watching movies, except for "Time Planning Bureau", "New Shaolin Temple" can be watched, and the lineup is strong and starry, so even if the reputation is average and it is not a comedy, it also sold high box office
But as soon as the holiday is over, people are out of time, and some audiences who have no goals may not go to the cinema, and the box office will naturally avalanche.
After the festival, a new superhero movie "The Green Hornet" was released, starring Jay Chou, and the movie was remade from the 1966 movie of the same name starring Li Xiaolong.
Chinese people play the leading role in Hollywood's A-level commercial productions, although they are only the second male lead, but it is also rare.
However, it's not called a superhero movie, the movie was made into a comedy, Jay Chou, who was originally in charge of the action copy, had no room to play at all, and from beginning to end it was the unique joke of the actor Seth Rogen, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a comedy.
Moreover, Jay Chou's character is a martial arts master in the magic capital, and he actually took the name of Kato.
The original manga is indeed the Japanese Ben Kato, this version for the domestic box office, changed to the Modu people, and also marked Chinese on some machines to show that this is a Chinese.
However, the domestic audience didn't buy it, just because of Jay Chou's fame, he got a box office of 77 million in the first week.
Moreover, two days ago, Jay Chou suffered a lot of scolding for this role, saying that he went to Hollywood to play a Japanese man.
Most people haven't watched the movie, but when they saw the name Kato, they also began to accuse Jay Chou, and even turned Li Xiaolong out and blackened him.
There is also an extreme one.,Changed the encyclopedia entry of the movie.,The original character note Kato was the assistant of the Green Hornet Demon Capital.,It was changed to a Japanese Ben Kato by someone with a heart.。
In terms of fame, Jay Chou is definitely one of the most popular stars in China, playing such a sensitive matter as a Japanese man, fans, sunspots, and passers-by quarreled after the New Year, and even faintly overshadowed the trend of "Time Planning Bureau".
and "Carry on Love to the End", a remake of the TV series of the same name, was also released over the weekend, and got 40 million box office in two days.
After the Spring Festival holiday, the competition for the Spring Festival stalls is still a little more intense.
However, the two new films did not pose any threat to "Time Planning Bureau", and they still got 80 million box office in the third week and seven days, and the total box office came to 441 million, becoming the first film to break 400 million this year.
"New Shaolin Temple" was squeezed by two new films, and the box office began to avalanche, only getting 28 million in seven days, and the total box office reached 225 million.
It's over 200 million, but that's it.
"The Green Hornet" got 40 million box office in the second week, and the same trend is average.
"Carry on Love to the End" met Valentine's Day in the second week, but the box office was still hot, almost exceeding 100 million in a single week, getting 92 million, and a total of 132 million in nine days, surpassing "The Green Hornet".
There were no new films released in the next half of February, and the box office war for the Spring Festival stalls was almost settled.
"Time Planning Bureau" and Li Qian have undoubtedly become the biggest winners of the Spring Festival file, although everything is so natural and not without twists and turns, but the major companies are not calm.
Since the National Day file at the end of September, it has been five months, and in these five months, the three schedules of National Day, Chinese New Year, and Spring Festival have all been occupied by Li Qian alone.
Major companies have felt unprecedented pressure, and even if you count forward, the removal of "Avatar" during the Spring Festival last year was also the dominance of "People in Embarrassment".
And March, April, May and June are all the territory of Hollywood blockbusters, and it was not until July and August that "Tangshan Earthquake" broke the record.
In other words, in the past twelve months, except for imported films and the only "Tangshan Earthquake", the entire film market has been eaten by Li Qian!
"Shhh
At the same time, in different places, after the New Year, looking at the data summarized on the desk, many people gasped in unison.
Unwilling and powerless, there is no way at all.
Huang Zhongjun, who calmed down, suddenly found that if Li Qian still maintained this state, even two or three years later, Li Qian's future film industry could threaten the status of the boss of Huayang Media's private enterprises.
Huang Zhongjun hadn't thought about this kind of thing before, because when he thought of Li Qian, his heart was angry, and it was a small studio, so he didn't think about it.
When I calm down and think about it, it's really hard to say if there are three or four blockbuster movies in a row for several years.
However, after pondering and meditating for several days, Huang Zhongjun could not find a way to restrain Li Qian.
can't buy the theater to prevent his films from being released, and he can't ban all his films, and he is not the boss of optoelectronics.
"Big brother, why don't you ask Yu Dong, Song Ge, and Wang Changtian to come out and discuss?" Huang Zhonglei suggested.
"What's the use of that. Huang Zhongjun sighed.
It's also united, not to mention whether everyone can work together, and they may not have done it together, and this year is the best example.
......
After the New Year, the work of the new year has begun, none of the major companies are in a good mood, the only one who is better is probably only the pony, "Carry on Love to the End" is a box office hit, Li Ming is still very happy now, concentrating on building another big ship.
After a year, Li Qian took a good rest, and his mood was still very good, and he started a new round of work.
brought the previous actors together again, and more than ten days have passed, and they all have a deeper understanding of the movie itself and their respective characters.
However, as soon as he saw them, Li Qian was shocked.
"I'll go, what kind of shape is this?"
In the reception room, Xu Zheng, who had obviously made a fortune and had a larger waistline, was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, his bare head was a little greasy, his face seemed to have an extra layer of oil, and the stubble was old, almost half a centimeter.
Seeing Li Qian coming, everyone got up to say hello.
"Director Li. ”
"Sit down, everybody. ”
Li Qian smiled, beckoned everyone to sit down, and looked at the sloppy Xu Zheng, "Brother Zheng, what is your situation, you just came out of the refugee camp?"
Xu Zheng put his mobile phone on the coffee table and said with a smile, "This is not a greasy middle-aged man, since the Chinese New Year, I haven't taken a shower, I haven't changed my clothes, and I haven't shaved my beard." ”
... Li Qian was speechless, he did this ghost during the New Year.
But luckily it's winter, and if it's summer, the house will stink.
"The collar of your clothes is almost pulped, and you didn't let it bang out when you went to your mother-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings?"
"That's not it, those who engage in art, the old people understand. Xu Zheng said.
Art, what a lofty word.
glanced at Xu Zheng's mobile phone on the table, there was a fight against the landlord, he was a farmer, and he seemed to be about to lose.
"Brother Zheng, that's not how the game is played. ”
Li Qian took the mobile phone, held it in both hands, leaned on the sofa, his head naturally hung to the side, bored fighting the landlord, glancing at the screen from time to time, until he played the card, casually clicked on the card.
In the end, of course, he lost, and the fingers holding the mobile phone in his right hand shook to the side, and began to look aimlessly at the ground and wall, not knowing what he was thinking.
My phone!
Xu Zheng felt a pain in his eyes, and hurriedly picked up the mobile phone that fell on the ground.
"At the beginning of the scene of playing card games in the store, you can't play the game as if you are really playing the game, this is different from the sloppy man who sleeps in the Internet café and plays the game, you play the game with nothing to do, there is really nothing to do, there is no business, the game is just to waste time, you have to look weak, and the action of the cards in your hand should not be arbitrary, just click on it. Li Qian explained.
"Waste of time, is there any weakness?" Xu Zheng thought about it, and returned to his previous state, his eyes were hazy, his eyes were cloudy and he looked at the phone screen without focus, and suddenly his fingers moved, clicked on the screen, and he was in a daze again.
"Look, is this Cheng Yong in the script?" Li Qian asked the others.
"It's quite like that. ”
Hu Ge, Tan Zhuo, and Old Man Yang Xinmin nodded.
"It's a little bit off the taste. Huang Bo also saved some face for Xu Zheng, otherwise he would have said "like a ball".
"Indeed, sloppy is sloppy, and it is quite greasy, but it lacks a bit of frustration. ”
Li Qian thought for a while, "Change your posture, change your posture or prop one foot on the sofa with your hand on your leg, or combine these two postures." ”
"It's a bit difficult. Xu Zheng thought about it and did as Li Qian said.
But if Ge Weiwan collapsed on the sofa like that, his feet could only reach the edge of the sofa, and the sofa was still soft, and he had to exert force to support his feet.
Seeing that Xu Zheng was also holding back his posture, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Li Qian said, "Almost, when the time comes, the chair will give you a little bit, and it will be just right to widen it, your face is greasy, your eyes are cloudy, and you are weak in this state, but the kind of frustration with no goal and no direction in life is almost meaningless." ”
"Understood, I look for a feeling. Xu Zheng nodded, in order to experience the life of a greasy middle-aged man, he gave himself a whole person this year.
I was paralyzed there all day long, I didn't sleep at three or four o'clock in the morning, I got up at six or seven o'clock during the day, I didn't exercise, I didn't take a bath, I overate, I almost felt like a wasted person.
Even my wife disliked it and didn't let me go to bed.
But it can't be helped, I haven't experienced this state, even when I was in college, it's not like many degenerate college students now, hiding in the dormitory every day to play games, watch small movies, and stay up all night, he didn't have these in that era.
I haven't experienced it, but I can only experience it now.
Li Qian looked at the others again, Huang Bo was normal, this role was easy for him, and it was mainly a matter of appearance.
"Old Yang, what do you have in your hand?"
Old man Yang Xinmin, who played Pastor Liu, kept holding a small book in his hand, and he seemed to be muttering something all the time.
"I don't have an English line, I don't know English, so let people mark it out in Chinese for me, memorize it slowly, and help me read it and record it, listen more, and pay attention to pronunciation." Yang Xinmin said with a smile.
"Teacher Yang, this is not a requirement for pronunciation standards, the role of Pastor Liu is two-sided, facing the compassion of the patients and the angry eyes of the counterfeit drug dealers," Li Qian said.
Yang Xinmin has also been to the church and visited patients during this time, and anyone with a good heart will feel sympathy when he sees the tragic condition of leukemia patients, which is easy to say.
Through chatting, Li Qian also found that they had made enough preparations during this time, Tan Zhuo had already started to practice pole dancing, and when he landed, he broke his foot, which was fortunately not too serious.
Hu Ge is still participating in the promotion of "Time Planning Bureau", but the movie has been screened for half a month, and he is ready to start the weight loss plan.
This is not a weight loss for fitness exercises, Hu Ge has to be so thin that he can describe a withered state, if he is unhealthy and weak, he will not see muscles but ribs when he takes off his clothes.
Although there are no bare-chested shots in the film, the two different thinness can be seen without taking off clothes.
The big screen is not as easy to fool as the TV series, the people on the screen are twice as big as the audience, every detail is exposed, and a few pits on the face can be seen clearly.
......
chatted for a whole day, analyzed each character and the plot of each stage with the various members of the medicine god team, and officially signed the actor contract.
However, Xu Zheng, as the protagonist, stayed, and as the core of the movie, his burden was much heavier than anyone else.
It's just that Xu Zheng is not only concerned about the role, as a director, he began to care about how the movie is a hit.
"Director Li, didn't you say in front of the media before that you wanted to hit the box office record of "Avatar", but the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has not strong commercial elements. ”
"Whether the movie can sell well has nothing to do with commercial elements, and the commercial elements of "Perfect World" are not enough, but it does not affect its big sales at all, and the most important thing is to resonate with the audience. ”
Li Qian shook his head, a little strange again, "Brother Zheng, you are not a literary youth, why don't you talk about the connotation of the movie and talk to me about the box office?"
"What kind of literary and artistic youth am I. Xu Zheng laughed at himself, "Before this year, I always thought I was a literary and artistic youth, but during this time, in order to find the state of the characters, I either ate and drank at home or played games, sometimes I went to the sofa in a daze and waited for dark, thinking about a lot of things, I found that when I was in college, it was because of the popular literary and artistic fan, and most female classmates also liked literary and artistic youth, so I became a literary and artistic youth, and I am still a layman." ”
"In your time, you were really either literary and artistic youth or rock youth, and it was popular to write poems and articles. Li Qian is not surprised, in the nineties, it was originally a per capita literary youth.
At that time, I was embarrassed to say that I was a college student without writing a few poems and prose.
"Does it resonate with the audience, that is, in combination with current events? Xu Zheng pondered.
"Almost, commercial movies are to mobilize emotions, and the previous Spring Festival file "Wulin Gaiden" took housing prices as the starting point for this purpose, and "New Shaolin Temple" finally arranged a new villain foreigner in order to whitewash Xie Tingfeng, almost all of them are similar reasons. Li Qian said.
It's strange that the kind of film in "New Shaolin Temple" can sell well, and it is propaganda to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, no matter how many mistakes you make, you can wake up to the truth, and it will be difficult for Tang Seng to become a Buddha.
The reason why foreigners are arranged, instead of another group of warlords, is nothing more than that compared to Xie Tingfeng's character, the audience's hatred for foreign enemies who invaded the country will be stronger.
Although I agree with Li Qian's words, after all, many big-selling movies are very touching, but Xu Zheng still smiled wryly, "But Director Li, are you really serious about 1.3 billion?"
Although the words were said by Li Qian, Xu Zheng is also a leading actor, and his heart is full of pressure.
Li Qian smiled, "Hehe, Brother Zheng, don't be pressured, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will definitely be a good movie, and the audience will definitely like it." ”
How can there be no pressure!
Xu Zheng was slandered in his heart, which reminded him of the Spring Festival last year, when Li Qian opened his mouth and said that the goal of "People in Embarrassment" broke 200 million, which made him nervous to death at that time, and if he slapped his face, he would be unlucky.
Although the box office realized Li Qian's big words at the beginning, this time it was not as simple as 200 million.
I hope you don't get caught, Xu Zheng can only think like this, and at the same time, he is faintly excited in his heart, what if Li Qian is right again this time.
1.3 billion box office male number one, even though the movie has not started filming yet, Xu Zheng's heart is already pounding.
After figuring out that the character of his literary and artistic youth is just going with the flow, in fact, he is a layman, Xu Zheng is looking forward to it more and more.
