Chapter 194: The youngest 10 billion movie star
"Detective Chinatown 2", as of February 15, the box office has reached 2.3 billion.
It has only been 10 days since the Spring Festival passed, and it was able to win this result, which is enough to show how popular this movie is.
After this movie, Hong Chen's popularity is still very high, and Shang Yuyan has also become popular because of this role, but there is another person who has become popular, which Hong Chen did not expect.
That's Yan Chi.
Film critics always look for some entry points when commenting on a movie.
Hong Chen's performance in this drama is very good, but compared with the performance in "Scorching Sun", the acting skills are not so worth emphasizing.
Shang Yuyan is just liked by fans because of her unique style, and film critics will not comment on such a character.
Therefore, the focus of this film review is the "Tang Exploration Universe" established by Yan Chi.
The well-known film critic "Blockbuster" commented:
"Compared with the amazement of the first part, "Tang Detective 2" is more about letting people see Yan Chi's ambition. ”
"Yan Chi is very smart, and the first act uses the 'International Detective Competition' as a gimmick, which seems to be very important, but it has little to do with the main story. The biggest effect of this part is to intuitively tell the audience that the 'Tang Detective series' is going to establish a cinematic universe. ”
"A single mode is a big taboo for any series, this movie does not continue the path of the first part, the group drama melee caused by the bounty contest is a classic story mode, and the world's famous detectives gather together, which represents an upgrade of the pattern. ”
"So I guess that in addition to leaving the suspense that Tang Detective 3 will be in Tokyo at the end, Yan Chi is likely to explore the stories of other characters. There are so many stories to tell in this universe. ”
Returning to the movie skills, Yan Chi combines various elements very well. ”
"It has to be funny, it has to make the audience use its brain, it has to be exciting, and it has to make the audience feel comfortable. It was difficult, but Yan Chi basically did it. ”
"The characters, as always, were perfectly chosen. Baoqiang no longer needs to be described as 'down-to-earth', he is the earth-based himself. Hong Chen is full of youth, just enough to neutralize Baoqiang's 'greasy feeling', this combination is very perfect. ”
"That's why it's so good. ”
At the same time, Yan Chi grasped the core competitiveness of Tang Tan 1: the rhythm is tight and the reversal is constant. Therefore, Tang Detective 2 is still very successful. ”
"This is a wonderful film, with all kinds of stalks, all kinds of elements, and it can cause people to think deeply about human nature, divinity, and animal nature. In addition to wanting to make a successful commercial blockbuster, Yan Chi can also add some of his own life and death to it. ”
"This also makes the film more warm. ”
"So, those who haven't seen it can go and see it, and the recommendation index: five stars. ”
As soon as this Weibo came out, the likes and retweets broke 100,000 in an instant.
Because after Tang Detective 2, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about this series. All kinds of relevant information are the subject of discussion.
After Yan Chi saw this Weibo, he was also surprised.
"Don't say it, this guy writes quite well. Yan Chi showed Weibo to Hong Chen and said to him.
"Now many people on the Internet are discussing this matter, and your 'universe' seems to have been built very successfully. Hong Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, this person's guess is right, I do plan to make another Tang Detective series this year, but I want to shoot another character's story. ”
"Another character?"
"Well, the fourth in the detective rankings, I deliberately didn't give his information in Tang Detective 2. plans to make an online drama, but it doesn't have much to do with you, you are Qin Feng, who is the second in this universe, and you are already dead. ”
"Haha, I'm the producer anyway. Hong Chen said with a smile, Yan Chi's commercial value is very high now, and successful commercial directors have always been the favorite role of investors.
"Well, I'll talk to Ge Chen in two days, don't worry. Yan Chi nodded.
Yan Chi is now basically bound to Hong Chen's studio, and he needs to invest in finding Hong Chen directly.
This matter is decided, and Hong Chen is also very happy, after all, he can make a lot of money again.
Now Tang Tan Universe is the signboard of Hongchen Studio, and he can get a lot of economic benefits from it.
This is also thanks to Yan Chi's ability to "create IP".
After that, "Detective Chinatown 2" is still being screened.
The total box office of "Tang Detective 2" is estimated to be more than 3.3 billion. According to the principle of box office sharing, almost 4.5% goes to the investor, that is, about 1.5 billion.
The total cost of the film was 600 million, with a total of 300 million on the Hong Chen side and 300 million on all other co-producers and investors.
Counting some other expenses, Hong Chen received a total of 800 million from this movie.
It's already considered blood earning!
In this way, this year, his studio can also start the next plan, broaden channels, increase the number of artists, and develop in all fields.
In his heart, he wants to build an all-round entertainment business empire that includes the film and television industry, the singer industry, and the men's and women's group industry.
Of course, this is just an assumption, and the road still has to be taken slowly step by step.
At the same time, Hong Chen was on another hot search because of "Detective Chinatown 2", which once again aroused people's amazement.
The reason is very simple, that is, the total box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" officially exceeded 3 billion, becoming one of the few films in Huaxia Film and Television to reach a box office of 3 billion!
As the protagonist, he directly created a box office of 3 billion!
What is this concept?
Some first-line stars, even if all the works are combined, may not reach 3 billion!
If you count his previous filming of "Battle for Fire", "Li Bai", "Those Years", "Tang Detective 1" and "Scorching Sun", his worth has officially exceeded 10 billion box office!
The youngest 10 billion actor in China!
Some careful people have found that from Hong Chen's debut to the present, the box office of all the movies he has participated in has not been high.
He was on the hot search again, and he was in the limelight for a while.
Some people even say that mainland movies have formed a situation where "Wu Zhan, Shen Teng, Xu Zheng, and Hong Chen" compete for the box office.
Because, there are many outstanding actors, but there are only a few people with billions or tens of billions of box office.
This is also the result of Hong Chen's always wanting to take the boutique route.
Hong Chen looked at the news on the Internet, his mood was very calm, and he was not too excited.
He hasn't been involved much in the TV drama field yet, and he wants to enter the international market after that, and the road is relatively long.
So, he still needs to keep working hard.
Then, Hong Chen himself devoted himself to the filming of the next film and television, that is, "Langya Bang".
He has signed an agreement with the crew of "Langya Bang", and the scheduled filming date is approaching.
This film and television drama is jointly produced by Dongshan Film and Television Media Group, Dongshan Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., Noon Sunshine Film and Television Co., Ltd. and many other big film companies, and Hongchen Studio is also one of the co-producers.
The leading actors are also first-line actors.
The director is directed by Kong Sheng and Li Xue, who won the Magnolia Best Director, both of whom are real doers, and they personally supervise and direct every shot, every scene, and every prop in the play, which is very responsible.
It can be said that the Langya Bang crew is the most powerful of the known crews this year.
Hong Chen chose this crew, a large part of which is also because the crew is very good in all aspects.
However, there are some differences between the TV drama crew with huge funds and the movie crew.
The film is basically the main producer, and the voice is very large, and the rest of the investors will not have a lot of power.
For example, in "Tang Detective 2", many details, including the choice of actors and the direction of the plot, can be determined by Hong Chen and Yan Chi.
But TV dramas are different, especially the TV drama crews with a very complex investment background. Major investors want a piece of the pie, so there will be a situation of grabbing roles.
Moreover, movies generally have about 5-10 important roles at most, and sometimes a TV series has at least 30 important roles alone.
In the parallel world, the famous actor Yang Mi said: "Crews with big investments basically have unspoken rules, and it is not normal to have no unspoken rules." ”
It is enough to see how complicated the situation in the entertainment industry is.
The drama "Langya Bang" is well-made and has abundant funds, but there will also be such problems.
But it has little to do with Hong Chen.
In this kind of script, the investor also has to consider economic interests, so the main characters such as the male protagonist and the female protagonist will not interfere too much.
After all, there are really not many actors who can support the big male lead drama. rashly put a traffic star into this kind of drama as a starring role, and other investors will not do it.
Therefore, some small characters are the areas where they compete.
After Hong Chen arrived at the crew, he first met and chatted with the director and producer to get acquainted with the relationship.
The crew of the TV series has a large specification, the situation is complicated, there are many departments and staff, and the relationship is also very chaotic, so try to have a good relationship with the director.
The two directors Kong Sheng and Li Xue were very polite to him, after all, Hong Chen is the starring role, and this drama still needs to rely on him to support it.
Then, after everything was prepared and the actors joined the group, the filming of this annual drama officially began.
