Chapter 134: The Unlucky Chen Jiashang
It can be said that "Green Snake" completely stepped on the corpse of "Painted Skin 2".
"Painted Skin 2" should have been about 40% of the films, and the box office was also a big hit. In 12 years, it is an unexpected movie, after all, it is as high as 700 million.
As a result, the director was changed, and the quality of the movie was much worse. Well, you know "Painted Wall", the director is still Chen Jiashang, and it has been 11 years. I don't know why I was able to make "Painted Skin 1" but made a movie like "Painted Wall".
The current "Painted Skin 2" is not so much a sequel to "Painted Skin" as a sequel to "Painted Wall".
"Green Snake" can bring benefits to the theater chain, and the theater chain will naturally give "Green Snake" more films. But now that the film schedule is full, I can only draw some three-day movies and cut some theaters of "Painted Skin 2" and distribute them to "Green Snake".
In the second week, there was still a box office of 43.02 million in a single day on the first day, although it fell a little from the market, but after all, it was a working day, and the decline was not very much.
After all, it is impossible for the audience to watch your movie every day for a month, and the release date of a month is the most important thing to watch the early stage. He Zhang Li is not Zhou Xingxing, and he can make the entire flower grower shout that he owes him a movie ticket.
"Green Snake" will be released on July 1st, whether it is a film schedule or anything, it is very good. Now only others adjust the schedule to avoid him, not him to hide from others.
Although Zhang Li pays attention to the box office results of "Green Snake", he is too busy, and he usually doesn't know the box office until a little in the evening. This roadshow made him so tired, he really didn't know how Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" ran so many cities.
Now, in addition to the top ten box office cities, if some other cities with good box office are on the roadshow, Zhang Li and several people will be a little overwhelmed.
Every day, I don't fly in the sky, but I run in the car.
The box office results in the first three days of the second week were 43.02 million, 52.177 million, and 50.123 million respectively.
When people in the circle see this data, they already feel that their brains and eyes are completely insufficient, and they don't understand where this "Green Snake" is broken, why is the data so good?
Do you want to say that the mythical love story and traditional folk story of this flower planter are not very good? There are remakes of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Painted Wall", and there is also "Painted Wall 2" that has just been released, no, it is "Painted Skin 2".
It's okay to say that "A Chinese Ghost Story" can't replicate the classics, but why can't this "Painted Wall" and "Painted Skin 2"? This "Painted Skin 2" is still a series of movies, and when you encounter this "Green Snake", you will be completely hung up and beaten. There is no way to fight back, which makes many people wonder.
The current time is 2012, and it is not the era of the box office explosion of the big market in the next few years, not the era when the box office exceeded 100 million in one day and 300 million in two days.
Now there are such fierce movies, there are really no domestic ones. The last time the "Jingwu Heroes" store was not so fierce, and only "Transformers 3" and "Titanic 3D" had such strength in Hollywood blockbusters, not "The Avengers".
Netease News: On July 9, director Zhang Li's new film "Green Snake" broke various box office records, and now it has exceeded 500 million box office just after its release in the second week. Now the daily box office is nearly 45 million, and the film is also the highest in theaters across the country, according to industry authority predictions, this film will break the record of "Jingwu Hero" to become the first Chinese film box office, and may even break the record of "Avatar".
Penguin Entertainment: On July 9, director Zhang Li's work "Green Snake" has exceeded 500 million at the box office! This is already the total result of many directors at the box office or even several box offices, but now it is easily broken by director Zhang Li. Some time ago, the Internet was still discussing whether Director Zhang Li was a liar and mediocre and Jiang Lang was exhausted, but Zhang Li disdained to respond, and the box office of this movie was the best response.
Sohu Entertainment: Recently, director Zhang Li directed actors Li Bingbing and Wan Qian, Nie Yuan, Pan Yueming and others co-starred in "Green Snake", which can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry. In this movie, we also saw Wuma and Liu Xun, two old drama bones, Wuma also played the image of the Taoist priest he was best at, although he was not a master like Yan Chixia, but it was also refreshing.
Baidu Entertainment: The Chinese film market in the first half of this year can be said to be a box office explosion, but unfortunately, most of these high box offices belong to Hollywood blockbusters. "Mission Impossible 4", "Men in Black 2", "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island", "Titanic 3D" and "The Avengers" have all achieved unattainable results. But in the first half of the year, there were very few domestic blockbusters, and only the two movies "Death is Coming 2" and "Embroidered Spring Knife" resisted Hollywood blockbusters. Under these blockbusters, it has achieved excellent box office, and people are not afraid of Hollywood blockbusters when they see domestic movies. And now "Green Snake" has been born out of thin air, appearing on the market with an invincible attitude. Breaking all kinds of records, even Hollywood blockbusters can't resist the footsteps of the main "Green Snake". Before the painting of "Green Snake", no matter what the score was, it must have been a terrifying number. At that time, I am afraid that the first and second places on the box office list of Chinese films will belong to director Zhang Li, which is surprising news.
................
........................
.....................................
Generally, major theaters will reduce the film schedule in the second week or so, because the heat that began at this time has passed a lot. Although it will not be reduced much, for example, if the film schedule is 43 percent, it may be reduced to about 42 percent.
But "Green Snake" has not decreased at all, and there are still so many films. On the contrary, "Painted Skin" and other films should have been reduced due to poor box office performance.
This is good news for Zhang Li, but it is a bolt from the blue for other directors. The box office was originally small, and I didn't expect to make much money looking at this situation, but I just hoped to return to the cost, but I am afraid it is difficult to look at this situation.
And for the movies that will be released later, it is possible to adjust the schedule as soon as possible. If it is still released during this period, there will be no return!
And the director who can't adjust the schedule can only release the movie with tears in his eyes, and now he doesn't ask for anything else, but please don't lose money.
Others don't know, but the directors who are suffering now should be Chen Jiashang and Chen Wouji. Well, I don't know if it's the director surnamed Chen and Zhang Li.
Chen Jiashang is a movie called "Painted Skin 2", which is actually a sequel to "Painted Wall". If it's just this one, it would be fine, but unfortunately, there is another movie released on July 12, that is, "The Four Famous Catches".
As an aside, Wen Lao's works are bullish. But except for the series "The Four Famous Catches", which is no problem to make into a film and television drama, the rest are not suitable. Even "The Four Famous Arrests" has to be overhauled, that is, there are elements of solving cases in it, otherwise this series is estimated to be unable to be adapted.
Chen Jiashang is obviously very attentive to "The Four Famous Catches", at least in terms of the quality of the movie.
Although Chen Jiashang is Xu Laowei's apprentice, he doesn't like to play martial arts like Xu Laogui. Although there are action movies, there is still no pure Jianghu sister like Xu Laowei.
But should it be said that it is not a loss to the master and apprentice? The master plays special effects, and the apprentice also plays special effects, but the gap between them is very embarrassing.
Whether it is the "Di Renjie" series or other works, the special effects of Xu Laogai's movies in the mainland are still very slippery. Although the apprentice Chen Jiashang can't be as good as the master, he is also following in the footsteps of the master, "Painted Skin", "Painted Wall" and "Four Famous Catches" are all playing magic series to play special effects, but it is very embarrassing.
To be honest, this movie is very spoofy, if it is a martial arts movie, it should barely pass the passing line. But this is not the whole problem of the director, Wen Lao's book is originally very, and the combat power is exaggerated, and there are aliens.
However, Chen Jiashang is filmed like this, not all the problems, but there is also responsibility. Why watching "The Big Four" feels like an X-Men or a superhero like the Fantastic Four. I don't know if the director has watched too many Hollywood superhero movies, so he came to such a movie.
And it's ruthless in it, it's like a weakened version of Professor X, or a woman. It's not impossible to change the magic, but if you change it well, it's a classic, and if it's not good, it's a bad movie.
This movie can only be said to be at the passing level.
Uh, of course. Chen Jiashang himself definitely doesn't think so, but wants to create a series. But even if you have confidence, you won't have confidence when you encounter "Green Snake". He doesn't think he can do such a terrible box office, and his expectation for "The Four Famous Catches" is about 300 million.
Chen Jiashang, who was originally released in two movies, was still beautiful, but when he met Zhang Li, he was the most unlucky film director.
Third-rate newspapers, media and the Internet are all kinds of ridicule, saying that he is the most unlucky entertainment figure of the year.
..................
If Chen Jiashang is unlucky, then Chen Wouji is invited to scold his mother.
Chen Wou-Ki is different from Lao Mouzi, who goes to all three major film festivals in Europe. Chen Wou-Ki used to be regarded as a Cannes director.
From 1988, when he was nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, to 1999, Chen Wou-Ki was nominated five times, winning the Palme d'Or for "Farewell My Concubine".
After that, the Cannes side may have removed Lao Mouzi and Chen Wou-Ki and others from the core area, and they also knew about it, so they didn't go much later.
The reason why Zao Ki Chen is so good is because of the Palme d'Or, and the three major European film festivals are not bad. But other Golden Lion Awards and Golden Bear Award Chinese films have won several times, and Lao Mouzi is a frequent visitor.
Only Cannes, Chen Wou-Ki took it.
If you want to say that Chen Wou-Ki is a cow breaker, it is indeed a cow breaker. Movies such as "Farewell My Concubine" and "Yellow Earth" and "Singing While Walking" are really powerful. But if you say that you are compared to Lao Mouzi, then forget it.
In the past, Lao Mouzi also had the opportunity to win Cannes, that is, "No One is Missing".
However, the film was said to be promoting the government/government at the time.
???
What the hell, this can also be said to be propaganda, is there any mistake. The meaning of this movie was originally to talk about education, but you said it was propaganda, does it have to be miserable?
The current situation is that Chen Wou-Ki has been eating the Palme d'Or for decades, and it is disappointing every year, but there are people looking forward to it every year.
The movie "Searching" filmed this time is a good movie, and Chen Wou-Ki is also satisfied. The word-of-mouth is good after the new millennium, and the box office is not bad, with about 170 million.
If this is the case, of course Chen Wuji is happy, but when he meets Zhang Li, it will be unhappy
Finish.
In the past, Lao Mouzi, Jiang Wen, Feng Dacang, Chen Wuji, and Zhang Li were selected as the "five directors" of the flower planter on the Internet.
Of course, this is not of any official nature, it is just made out of boredom, but it also proves that Zhang Li is now in the status of these netizens.
But only Feng Dacang came out to speak, and the rest did not say anything.
What the rest of the people think, Chen Wuji didn't know. But he was very unhappy, but he also knew the power of netizens after "Wuji". So he didn't speak, just looked at Feng Cannon talking. Anyway, he doesn't like either of them, and it's better to lose both.
Although Feng Dacang hates it, he has been filming for many years. Chen Wuji didn't like it, but he also had to admit Feng Cannon's status.
But what the hell is Zhang Li, a rookie director who dares to be tied with him after making a few blockbuster movies, is this looking down on the Palme d'Or?
I wasn't happy, but I didn't say it. Because he couldn't let Zhang leave to make a literary film to prove himself, he himself was extremely disappointing in business. So it's better not to say it.
It's just that this time I didn't expect the movie to crash, which is very embarrassing.
Really, if the box office of "Green Snake" is not so exaggerated, he doesn't care. "Searching" is not vegetarian either, and he is very confident in this movie.
But what is the result of "Green Snake" now? Over 400 million a week!, what the hell is this, is this a Hollywood blockbuster?
Zhang Li's movie results are so good, the media must be happy. First, Chinese movies have achieved good results, and second, there are topics.
But it's useless just to get results, it's best to find some seniors or bigwigs to comment on it, so that you can create a topic.
And now some other filmmakers or bigwigs are unhappy when they watch the invincible movie "Green Snake", but most of them still choose to compliment. After all, people's grades are so bad, what if you say anything bad and make people jealous? Even if you don't say anything else, wouldn't it be embarrassing for people to say what your highest box office is.
So except for a few people who think that most of them are blowing "Green Snake".
However, Chen Wou-Ki was not in a very good mood.
As a big director, and the new movie will be released after "Green Snake".
"Green Snake" will be released on July 1, and "Search" will be released on July 6. One director is Zhang Li, and the other director is Chen Wouji.
Damn, that's a proper topic!
So now Chen Wuji is extremely unhappy, because the questions asked by these people make him very unhappy.
The box office of "Green Snake" was 70.77 million on the first day, and the box office of "Search" was 11.2 million on the first day.
Well, the box office is almost 60 million short, which is no longer an embarrassing problem. This is already letting Chen Wouji scold his mother in his heart.
"Director Chen, what do you think of the 70.77 million box office on the first day of the "Green Snake" movie directed by Zhang Li?"
"Director Chen, "Green Snake" has a box office of more than 400 million in a week. What do you think of the "Green Snake" movie?"
"Director Chen, do you think there are any similarities between "Green Snake" and your movie?"
Director Chen, the box office of "Search" is only 11.2 million, while the box office of "Green Snake" is 70.77 million. Don't know if you have anything to say."
"Director Chen, "Green Snake" was praised by many industry insiders, saying that this movie can be a real classic. Do you think Director Zhang Li can be called a master?"
"Director Chen, will you be under pressure? After all, "Green Snake" has such a high box office, and so does the word of mouth. ”
Well, MMP!
If it weren't for the explosion, it would immediately become the topic of these media. Chen Wou-Ki wants to explode now, what does "Green Snake" have to do with him.
This is to promote "Search", don't ask me about "Green Snake"!
Do you have any misunderstanding about the box office of more than 10 million on the first day, when did the first day of more than 10 million become worthless in your mouth!
On the promotion of "Search", Chen Wou-Ki had a cold face throughout the whole process. For these problems, it is perfunctory and perfunctory, and silent if it cannot be perfunctory.
However, these media are not in a hurry, even if Chen Wouji has a cold face, they have countless topics to write about.
What "The Old Director Was Shocked by the New Director's Box Office and Can't Speak", "The Big Director Was Ashamed of Being Ashamed of Zhang Li's Box Office", "The "Five Great Directors" Zhang Lishi Deserves His Name" and so on, anyway, the beginning sentence is all up to the editor.
...............
"Green Snake" has achieved such a high box office that has attracted the attention of countless people, although the movie "Painted Skin 2" similar to it failed. But many people are still discussing why "Green Snake" is so profitable, and some film and television companies that can't wait have begun to prepare for filming.
What "Xu Xian", "Fahai", "White Snake" or "The Legend of the White Snake: West Lake Love", these are relatively normal names. Abnormal such as, "The Legend of the White Snake: Male Snake Xiaoqing", "Leifeng Tower: I Want to Save My Sister", "Xu Xianzhi, I Want Xiaoqing" and so on.
I just want to take advantage of the current east wind of "Green Snake" to make a good profit, and the content is also greatly changed.
In their opinion, the success of Zhang Li's "Green Snake" is because of the dramatic change in the plot, plus the complex feelings and ambiguous relationship between Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing Fahai and Xu Xian. So their script is also a big one, compared with the urban dog blood drama in the cold country, if it weren't for this mythological story, if it wasn't for the mythical story, it would be nothing if it was hit by a horse, maybe there would be a carriage that hit the heroine and then lost her memory.
