Chapter 28: Overtaking (2/8)
In the 2010 Chinese New Year, Uncle Ge's acting career was at its peak!
"Zhao's Orphan", "Let the Bullets Fly", and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", all found him to play the main role.
The title of Emperor of the Lunar New Year is well deserved.
The most important thing is that all three films are profitable...
- When the box office of "Zhao's Orphan" was close to 140 million, the filmmaker had already announced that it would recover its costs.
Uncle Ge's popularity is boundless...
Mengxi Company saw him at this time, and Ning Hao was also there, as soon as the news came out, he immediately swiped the screen...
A bunch of reporters blocked the door of Mengxi Company and asked about relevant news.
Zhao Jinsong responded: "We do have such a plan, we are going to cooperate with Ge You in a few plays, Ning Hao + Huang Bo + Ge You, we think it is a very perfect comedy combination!"
“... There is news that this is poaching Huayi, is it true?"
"It's not about poaching or not poaching, talents are all circulating, I think that no matter which company an artist goes to, as long as he makes a Chinese-language movie, he will bring image enjoyment to the audience..."
"Can you reveal what Ning Hao's new work is about?"
"The script idea was provided by Mengxi, and the content cannot be disclosed for the time being, but I can say that we have set this film for this year's Chinese New Year, and the current release date is November 24..."
"Is it deliberately avoiding "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"?"
Zhao Jinsong shook his head: "It's not deliberate, but I really don't want to go toe-to-toe with domestic blockbusters... After all, that's all there are on screens..."
"Are you saying that "Twenty Years Old Again" shouldn't be released on the same schedule as "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2"?"
"That's not it, we are full of confidence in "Twenty Years Old Again", a sincere movie, everyone can see that our reputation and attendance have been pressing "Non 2", and it is natural for the box office to surpass!"
After so many things, I finally said the goal of "Twenty Years Old": the box office surpassed "Insincere 2"...
Shen Mengxi said directly on Weibo: "Recently, I have always seen the sayings of 'standing to make money' and 'lying down to make money', there is nothing wrong with it, it is not easy to make a money-losing blockbuster in China, and it requires the precise cooperation of various conditions." I'm telling the truth! Domestic high-cost films are less risky, because such films are easy to use resources such as stars and famous directors to grab the high ground of public opinion in marketing, and they also have more advantages in copyright sales; at the same time, the online and offline costs of these films have not risen rapidly, and the average salary of employees has remained at a very low level. ”
"So, for a movie, you find a bunch of stars, and add a reasonable story, it's hard not to make money!"
"But is there only one purpose for making money? I'm afraid it shouldn't be like this..."
"The so-called polarization of word-of-mouth is actually not treated with care!"
"Many people left messages asking us about the secret of making money from our company's films, and I didn't bother to answer, so I said today: We are making money with sincerity!"
originally wanted to diss a wave of "Insincere 2", which would damage his own personality, so he insinuated and attacked, and also took over the job for Su Lun: "We respect the two websites of Douban and Time.com, and I hope some filmmakers understand that now is the Internet era, and many netizens have read more films than you imagined, and montage is not a profound skill, just an editing theory." ”
"Speaking of "Montage", director Yang Qing's producer and newcomer director Lu Yang's work "Montage" has been started, don't be misled by the title, this is a perfect crime story, set for August this year, I hope you can support more!"
......
On the Internet, there have been waves of criticism of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2"...
And it makes a lot of sense!
Because what this movie tells has nothing to do with "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb"!
Does it have anything to do with Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao?
This film is completely about Li Xiangshan's outlook on life!
In the first half, Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao came out to gag.
In the second half, Li Xiangshan came out to state his life.
This is all right, but the two are not connected at all, how can they be cause and effect of each other.
Could it be that because of Li Xiangshan's death, Xiaoxiao didn't love Qin Fen and fell in love.
Even the director himself felt pale and powerless, so he had to finally get married after 20 years.
In addition, the relationship between Uncle Ge and Shu Qi is very embarrassing in one part, and even more embarrassing in the second part...
The film schedule has also fallen all the way, if it hadn't been released two days in advance, coupled with the name of Feng's comedy, it would have been nearly 80 million, and "Twenty Years Old Again" would have been surpassed!
As of January 7th, before the third weekend, the box office of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "Twenty Years Old Again" were 308 million and 287 million respectively...
The gap is less than 20 million!
But on January 7, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Dawn Tread" was released, accounting for 31% of the film schedule...
"Let the Bullets Fly" still maintains 18% of the film schedule...
......
Liu Yifei has ended the roadshow promotion of "Back to Twenty Years Old", and after that, it is basically some consolidated marketing routines, such as taking a few interviews, shooting a few magazines, and talking about his feelings.
When I got home, I had a good night's rest and then regained my spirits.
I just pestered Shen Mengxi for hundreds of rounds...
Shen Mengxi has recently developed functions such as drinking water and finger work, and he is very strong in his own right!
He's only 27 years old!
Golden age, you don't need to be helped to find the entrance, and your physical strength and energy are amazing!
1V1, not afraid of anyone!
In the end, it ended with three fireworks in the young lady's mind...
A temporary truce.
The young lady suddenly remembered something: "Just now Nancy called me and said that "Carol" has a cumulative box office of 76 million!"
"Well, I know... Thank you for "Tron War"!"
"Tron: War Chronicles?"
Shen Mengxi: "A science fiction movie created by Dinis with a huge amount of money, I heard that the cost + publicity is as high as 300 million US dollars!"
“... What about the box office?"
"Huge loss, I heard that Disney immediately suspended its promotional investment..."
The young lady pouted: "I still care more about "Black Swan"!"
"Darren Aronofsky is a typical academy director, "Requiem for a Dream" and "Wrestler" have won the attention of a bunch of people in the academy, and "Black Swan" has been funded by a large factory, and the box office and reputation of this movie are good!"
"Can "Black Swan" win an Oscar?"
"I think about it too much, "Black Swan" and Satoshi Kon's "The House of the Unhemp", from the story to the storyboard, the similarity is too high and too high. And at the time of "Requiem for Dreams", Satoshi Kon publicly stated that Darren used the same storyboard as him, which in his opinion is plagiarism. ”
“... And that Natalie Portman?"
"People even got pregnant with a child in order to win the prize, and Kate is out of play..."
"What about me?"
“(?????? )”
Shen Mengxi gave her an expression and didn't speak...
The young lady was very angry and reached out to grab: "Say it again!"
“... Wait, the call is coming..."
