Chapter 266: It's all dragging
Princess Jin tied with a cinema and Golden Harvest, Longteng two cinemas in the initial stage, but in the end, a cinema is a cinema, even if this cinema released two films during the Christmas file, and Golden Harvest Longteng released a number of other films in addition to the heart of the dragon.
After the first two days, with the end of Christmas, the shortcomings of the Golden Princess's one cinema against the two cinemas of Golden Harvest and Longteng were exposed, that is, the problem of the audience.
And more than 50 cinemas cover a much wider area than more than 20 cinemas, if you want to watch Christmas Adventure, Happy Paradise These two films must go to the Golden Princess Cinema to watch, and if you want to see the heart of the dragon, you can choose either Golden Harvest Cinema or Longteng Cinema.
This is the same as the Wanda Cinema in later generations, many big cities have Wanda Plaza, and then Wanda Cinema, and the facilities and viewing environment are very good.
But if a movie is only released in Wanda Cinema, the scope that can be radiated is the area around Wanda Plaza or those who are specifically going to watch this film may come all the way to watch it.
And if you don't need it or it's nearby, you must choose to watch a movie nearby.
There are few cinemas, the scope of radiation is small, everyone wants to watch the film unless they especially want to watch the two films of the Golden Princess, otherwise they must choose to watch the nearest cinema, and even if there are Golden Harvest, Longteng, Golden Princess three cinemas in the same area exist at the same time, then the probability of the audience choosing is one-third.
If the two days of Christmas are dominated by the pure comedy released by the two golden princesses because of Happy Paradise and Christmas Adventure, when Christmas is over, such an advantage will not be obvious.
Another one, in addition to being an action movie, Dragon's Heart also has comedy elements, although it is not a pure comedy like Christmas Adventure and Happy Land, but kung fu comedy is also a comedy.
This movie was inspired by Hung Jinbao's "Wrong Car" produced by Qiao Feng's company, and came out of the framework by himself, and was written by Hung Jinbao's royal screenwriter Huang Bingyao.
Taking the wrong car to tell the tragedy of the family relationship between the dumb father and the adopted daughter swept Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Hung Jinbao asked Huang Bingyao to write this drama action movie about the mentally handicapped brother and the policeman's younger brother who depend on each other for their lives.
Not only that, Hong Jinbao also invited Ye Qianwen to sing the theme song of this movie.
This film is different from Cheng Long's previous films, and it does not belong to the genre that can completely capture the audience from the beginning.
And the action scenes are only a little bit at the beginning and the one at the end, but on the whole, "Dragon's Heart" is still not out of Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao's traditional action movie routines, Cheng Long is still a deadly policeman, and the main plot line is still to break the criminal group.
However, "Dragon's Heart" is different from other works of Cheng Long or Hong Jinbao at that time, the film uses a lot of space to render the "police brother" Cheng Long's care for the "mentally handicapped brother" Hong Jinbao's family affection, although the technique is sensational and popular, but the screenwriter and director rarely did not portray the younger brother as a "saint" whose family affection can be without regrets, but paid attention to describing Cheng Long's side as an ordinary person,
As the saying goes: there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, and the younger brother will inevitably suffer mental torture and emotional fatigue when taking care of the mentally handicapped brother for a long time.
Cheng Long's emotional performance in this movie enhanced the realism of the role of "younger brother", and even film critics, who have always been harsh on action actors, also gave high praise to Cheng Long's performance in the movie.
The heart of the dragon did not take the route of pure action movies, nor did it see its comedy style that it was good at in the past, but it was quite literary, although at the beginning because it was not quite in line with Cheng Long, the literary atmosphere of Hong Jinbao's positioning made many viewers a little uncomfortable, and it was also a reason why Princess Jin's two films could be on an equal footing with the dragon's heart at the beginning, but the action scenes were not warm enough to make up.
In the cold winter, such a movie about family affection can give the audience more warmth and a more lasting film.
Just five days after Christmas, the total box office of Dragon's Heart surpassed the total box office of the two films Golden Princess Christmas Adventures and Happy Paradise combined.
Since surpassing the total box office of the two films of the Golden Princess, the box office of the Heart of the Dragon has been overwhelming, leaving the two films of the Golden Princess far behind.
"Mr. Qiao, Paramount asked if Top Gun was done in the later stage, and what could be released?" Qiao Feng was in the office watching the schedule of the Spring Festival stalls of Longteng Cinema, and Shi Nansheng knocked on the door and came in and asked.
"You tell Paramount that post-production isn't finished yet, and you'll contact them when it's done." Qiao Feng said.
"Okay, then I'll get back to them later." Shi Nansheng nodded.
"By the way, did Tom Cruise sign the contract?" Qiao Feng asked.
"Not yet, his agent has been dragging it out." Shi Nansheng said with a wry smile.
"What is the reason?" Qiao Feng frowned.
"I should be dissatisfied with the salary, I guess he wants to wait for the box office results after the release of Top Gun and then talk to us." Shi Nansheng said.
"It's a good calculation." Top Gun post-production was completed some time ago, and he just asked Shi Nansheng to tell Paramount that it wasn't finished yet, and the idea was to postpone the release time of Top Gun, and then wait for Tom Cruise to sign the new film contract before arranging the release.
In this way, you don't have to pay too much in terms of salary, otherwise, if you wait for Top Gun to be released and the box office hits all the way, and then sign a new film contract with Tom Cruise, the salary you have to pay will not be what it is now.
You must know that Tom Tom is the most ruthless one among Hollywood superstars, and he is also the first person in Hollywood superstars to ask for box office sharing, and it seems that he started his box office sharing journey after Top Gun.
This Qiao Feng doesn't know whether it's true or not, but what he can know is that Tom is definitely the most insatiable and ruthless of Hollywood stars.
This can be seen from the commercial blockbusters made by Tom, every one of them.
It's a lion opening his mouth every time, and vampires are just that.
One of the most representative is the Mission Impossible series.
