During the Spring Festival, "Journey to the West" was released, and at the same time as the high box office, a bunch of people angrily scolded Zhou Xingchi for 'Jiang Lang's talent'...

In fact, Stephen Chow was not scolded at the beginning of "Journey to the West", he was scolded all the way...

"Poor "chowder" - watching "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has feelings";

"Journey to the West" is co-produced with Xi'an Film Studio. Western Film Studio, which has always produced art films, did not like this script, and Zhang Zien, the deputy director, felt that this film could only be regarded as "cultural garbage".

"Kung Fu" has been called "the martial arts film that ends everything" by Hollywood, and "the highest achievement of contemporary comedy" by Bill Morey, but in China, there are bad reviews: fragmented narratives, garbage! Or, not funny at all!

"Yangtze River No. 7" is even more criticized by a bunch of people, the most famous film review 'If you are good, don't come to me!' - do you treat people as women?

"Journey to the West" has been released, and it's the same!

There are a lot of bad reviews...

"Inspiration is exhausted, emotions are empty, repeating the past, and seeing a completely old Zhou Xingchi;"

"I've never seen such a shameless money-making film, this is used to launder money! Those so-called jokes, what's so funny? Is it funny to be ugly, I damn it! The screenwriter is eating, Sun Wukong is a monkey, not an orangutan, and the whole piece of eating -- speechless"!

"There are far more contrived jokes than natural comedy, and as for the third-rate special effects and sets, that is already a common problem of Zhou Xingchi. ”

Douban score 6.4 points...

Of course, the box office is very good, "Journey to the West" has a box office of 76.85 million on the first day, setting a new record for the opening of a Chinese film, and the box office has exceeded 200 million in three days, once again refreshing the Chinese box office record...

It is impossible for the box office champion to be without Zhou Xingchi, he is the king of comedy!

Later, on February 14, "Inner Beauty" was released, and won 58 million box office on the first day, but failed to win the box office champion of "Demon Suppression", which received 98 million in a single day...

"Inner Beauty" has a good reputation...

"It's a beautiful movie! It's unrealistic! The heroine is a male protagonist sent by the fairy tale world to save a malevolent magic!"

"A small and fresh movie, the tone is so comfortable to look at!"

"The screenwriter is Shen Mengxi, and it is really true love - not only did he appear in person, but he also found a vote-type man to fall in love with his girlfriend!"

By the way, the Spring Festival file also has "101 Marriage Proposals", "Better and Better Village Night"...

"101 Marriage Proposals" barely won 10% of the film schedule because of Huang Bo's blessing, and it was released for four days, with a box office of 42 million;

"Getting Better and Better Village Night"...

It was abandoned by theaters after the first day - 18% of the film was scheduled on the first day, and the box office was only 6 million...

In the seven days of the Spring Festival, the box office output was 940 million, of which "Journey to the West" won 620 million, "Inner Beauty" won 170 million (three days of release), and "101 Marriage Proposals" 80 million...

This event has given the market great excitement!

Soon, it spread from the film industry to the investment circle.

On February 21st, the second round of Tudou financing?

......

When asked about "Journey to the West", Shen Mengxi replied: "Of course I watched it!"

"And what about your image of the Monkey King?"

"I think it can be regarded as restoring the image of the demon king? The depiction of "Journey to the West": the four-foot-tall Lei Gongzui? is the body of the wild monkey in the original book; bloodthirsty eats evil and does not know good, fierce and cunning demon heart; the old banner is still there? the chain mail has no current gold; the fierce power has become ancient, but it is still reluctant to give up its former name. ”

“... In fact, there are various images of Monkey King? "Journey to the West" can also be interpreted differently? Some people think that "Journey to the West" is about refuge and the final result of hardships, but some people see that this is a story of compromise and an uncontestable fate, so there is "The Legend of Wukong", so there is "Journey to the West"..."

"I talked to Mr. Zhou? The movie "Journey to the West" is a story of Tang Sanzang subduing demons. In this story, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Sun Wukong are actually monsters, and after being surrendered by Tang Sanzang, they became his apprentices. So in this story, in fact, they are villains, and youkai always have the flavor of youkai. ”

"The Return of the Great Sage that we are doing? Sun Wukong is the hero image... There's no need to dwell on this!"

"The box office... I estimate how it can be more than 1 billion, no matter how high it is, it's hard to say!"

"Because soon "The Hobbit" and "Die Hard 5" should be released..."

Answered a few questions? Shen Mengxi got rid of the reporters and went to the company's meeting room? Wang Ran led a bunch of VC investors waiting to see him, while Liu Yifei was pestered by reporters?

......

In fact, the second round of Tudou financing? Wang Ran has basically solved it!

HNA Capital led the investment of 600 million US dollars, Ping An Bank, Oriental Huifu and Zhongze Culture are responsible for the remaining 900 million US dollars...

There is nothing to do with Ahri and Ma Yun, but Yunfeng Fund suddenly contacted Wang Ran and said that he wanted to see Shen Mengxi...

Yunfeng Fund has a big history, the founders are Ma Yun and Yu Feng of Juzhong Media, natural person shareholders, such as Shi Yuzhu, Wang Yusuo, Shen Guojun, Cai Chaohui...

The big guy in the capital circle!

So, of course Shen Mengxi wants to take a look...

He wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Ma Yun's gourd.

"This is Mr. Shen Mengxi, this is Ma Yun..."

“... Look up for a long time!"

Ma Yun looked at Shen Mengxi curiously, and then sighed: "You are the best-looking entrepreneur I have ever seen!"

“... Thank you, you look like you too... It's unforgettable!"

Wang Ran asked the staff to pour tea, and Ma Yun said again: "You are different from Huang Zhongjun!"

"I'm a filmmaker, he's a businessman!"

"You look down on merchants?"

"Not really... But being too mercenary is really not a good thing!"

"I mean, your company really doesn't have a female celebrity to accompany you when you meet customers!"

“... We don't do that. ”

"And what if investors need it?"

"Then don't cooperate," Shen Mengxi smiled: "There are always investors who don't need these, and we don't lack investors!"

Ma Yun looked at Shen Mengxi in a little surprise, and the latter suddenly said, "By the way, my fiancée will take a photo with you later, is it okay?"

"Your fiancée?"

"Liu Yifei, her annual consumption on Taobao... I think that's enough for you to take a picture with her!"

"Haha, then you let her in!"

Shen Mengxi took out her mobile phone and called the young lady, the young lady pushed the door in, really took a few photos with Ma Yun, and then left...

Ma Yun smiled and watched her leave.

Shen Mengxi explained: "She still has to promote "Inner Beauty"... I heard that I was coming to see you today, and I had to come with me!"

Entering the topic, Ma Yun first installed a wave of comparison:

"Generally, investment projects of less than 3 billion yuan, I don't need to see the investment object, the board of directors has decided, I see you have an interest, how to do the 300 billion yuan film market?"

“... Who told you that the film market can have 300 billion yuan?"

"Big data told me!"

“... It's compared to the United States, right?"

"You know that, too?"

That's the case, in the American television network, every TV network will broadcast movies in prime time, so the income from TV rights in the United States brings more income to the film company than the movie box office, accounting for about 40% of this TV license.

In addition, nearly 40%, about 37% or so comes from home entertainment, that is, DVD, cable on-demand, which has now been developed to the Internet, as far as Internet on-demand.

So there are no American movies, and to be honest, there are no American TV channels.

In China, because we now have only one movie channel and only one movie channel nationwide, most of our provincial satellite TV stations do not buy movie copyrights now, which is an important reason for the relatively low income of China's film industry!

Now many people in the industry imagine that the Internet can be used to replace it and make the scale of this market bigger!

Then the revenue channel of the film market will be doubled.

Also, the average audience in the United States watches 4.1 times a year, China is 20,000 screens, and the average number of moviegoers is a few tenths of a day, if our audience watches movies twice a year, that is a big number, that is twice the existing market in the United States!

If you watch it 4 times, it is 4 times the existing market in the United States, and if the box office of movies accounts for 30% of the entire industry, then the total value of our entire film and television industry is more than ten times the size of the United States.

This is all the result of big data extrapolation!
