Chapter 168: For Friendship (Part 3)
The project "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is a hot topic, at least in the eyes of Sun Jianjun and Han Shanping!
It should be in 2011, "361 years respectively, the treasure island of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" was combined and exhibited', and Sun Jianjun wanted to make a movie with the same name.
first found Han Shanping and said that he wanted to create an international spy type movie, and then Han Shanping helped introduce Andy Lau - at first, they wanted Andy Lau to be the director.
Of course Andy Lau refused, Mr. Sun found a Korean director, and a Chinese story found a Korean director, and felt strange, and later, Sun Jianjun decided to come by himself!
Then, everything goes backwards to the unpredictable!
Good movies are different, and bad movies are mostly similar: the director doesn't know what he's doing.
Yang Xiaomi watched "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" with Liu Shishi that day, and the whole person was stunned...
I just haven't seen anything so bad!
Yang Xiaomi staged the temptation of wedding dresses, the temptation of flight attendants, the temptation of nuns, the temptation of bathtubs, and the temptation of bars in the film...
Red carpet show with fragrant shoulders and beautiful legs, cold black widow, whip queen, amorous stewardess, innocent female student, pretty nurse in lace stockings, cool and handsome men's Look, Chinese and Western bridal outfits...... There's even a bald nun look!
At first, Liu Shishi also laughed a few words, saying that this set was very funny, and the more she looked at it, the more confused she became, and later, she was also confused...
She quietly pushed her girlfriend: "This is a finished film?"
Yang Xiaomi's face was expressionless and she didn't take care of her boyfriend...
- You ruined my ability to tolerate stupidity!
Andy Lau also has a similar mentality, but he is a little more stable, after all, he has experienced "Future Police" and "Love Destiny", and his tolerance for bad movies is quite high!
In an interview before, I also said that I took "Fuchun Mountain Residence" for friendship...
......
Does the actor know that he is making a bad movie?
Nonsense, after all, it's not in vain to learn after so many years, and people are not stupid.
Just like Qin Hao said, "Ask yourself, did you sign a contract, did you take people's money?"
Signed, taken.
There's no way, then you can only shoot.
Of course, there are also some who are not forced, such as Yang Tianbao and the like...
There are some people who feel that they can make movies less ugly with their own abilities, Andy is a typical example - I am the kind of person who overestimates his own vision, thinking why the film can be better in my hands.
Not every actor is called Zhou Xingchi, who can turn decay into magic.
The star master at his peak can really lead a drama by himself, just say that "Gambler 2: Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint" and "Count Dead Grass" If it weren't starring Zhou Xingchi, would it still have so many praises?
In addition, to put it mildly, nonsense is really something unique to Xing Ye, not vulgar, and other people act like a tiger and not an anti-dog!
Back to the topic, according to the actor's contract, Yang Xiaomi must participate in the promotion of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" at least five times, otherwise, it will be a breach of contract!
The film will be screened once, premiered once in Beijing, promoted in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong...
Therefore, Yang Xiaomi is settling accounts with her fingers.
The most dreaded question is, 'What do you think of this movie?'
Fortunately, the media asked Andy Lau first, and Andy Lau's answer can be called a textbook: 'I think the director is very attentive, don't count this as a blockbuster, even if this is the promotion or support of a new director, think about it from this angle.'" ’
Learned!
"This movie should fill a gap in our genre, I think it's an honor to participate with Brother Hua!"
Also, "The Great Wall" will definitely be asked, after all, the topic is booming!
was also asked by Andy Lau first, and he replied: "Of course I watched it, it's really amazing, it's released worldwide, and it's also very popular in Hong Kong..."
"Actually, I have always cooperated with Mengxi, "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is the work of which we co-served as producers, "With God", he also approached me, but at that time I was filming "New Shaolin Temple", "I Know a Woman's Heart", and missed... This time in "The Great Wall", he didn't look for me, I'm sorry, you help me shout, I will definitely play "The Great Wall 2", and it doesn't matter if you play a supporting role!"
There is no meaning that "Fuchun Mountain Residence" can beat "The Great Wall"...
When it comes to Yang Xiaomi, her statement is almost the same: ""The Great Wall" is really the pride of Chinese films..."
You see, the creators took the initiative to disarm...
......
In the original time and space, many people complained that "Fuchun Mountain Residence" triggered a frenzy of Chinese audiences to judge ugliness, and bad movies were big hits!
That's not the case.
They're just taking advantage of it!
It may be difficult for most viewers to make an accurate analysis of the quality of the film itself, but there is still an intuitive taste.
Movies can cater to the tastes of second- and third-tier cities and go to the low-end market, but vulgarity is by no means the same as rotten.
You can make money by buying stocks under the bubble of the bull market, but when the bear market comes, you will know who does not have the awareness of risk prevention!
To be honest, with the star lineup, schedule and publicity posture of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", it should have rushed to 500 million, and even hit the top of the box office history, and it was precisely because it was rotten that it was only 300 million.
This box office, after deducting the share and time cost, the filmmaker does not make too much.
Later, big data came, and producers were in the face of such a huge market and a shortage of excellent resources.
What they can do is to use big data to analyze the past market and make predictions about the future market. Find the type of story and write it into a script to set up a project, find a star to shoot quickly, and hype it up. Taking advantage of the proximity to monopoly on the media side, hype is carried out using various methods. Smash the ticket to make up for it, crazy to attract brain miserable fans!
In fact, this set of things works in Hollywood, because they have a mature film industry system, which ensures the output of the work - if it is not a good work, it will not be a bad movie!
And many domestic companies are focusing on hype...
The latter one, Shen Mengxi has no ability to twist it, but "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map"...
"The Great Wall" is completely realized!
Let's put it this way, "The Great Wall" reported 460 million the next weekend, "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" 29 million on the first day, 21 million the next day, and 18 million on Sunday...
You can't even bring it with rhythm!
The original time and space, and the whole network brushed up on bad reviews, saying that the first bad movie in film history, everyone is coming to see how bad it is...
In addition, there is no choice, there are really many audiences who buy tickets, and then scold and get out of the screening hall, and contribute a piece of complaining material on the Internet.
This time is different, "The Great Wall" firmly dominates more than 40% of the film schedule, and the golden number of shows is close to 90%...
There is no way to fight back!
Of course, in China, how domineering "The Great Wall" is, and in the United States, how miserable "The Great Wall" is...
Well, it can't be compared to that, but it's true that under the influence of "Man of Steel," it was only $21 million the following weekend — and "Man of Steel" was $126 million in the opening weekend!
Ten days after its release in North America, "The Great Wall" has a cumulative box office of 80.76 million US dollars...
Compared with the domestic box office of 1.38 billion yuan, it is indeed nearly half, but it has exceeded expectations!
Ten days after its global release, the total box office of "The Great Wall" was close to $400 million...
Shen Mengxi and his group have finally returned to China!
