"Hongmen Banquet" originally had only one, produced by Starlight International, and was directed by Lu Chuan.

At the end of 2009, it was announced that filming would start, and it was originally planned to be released in the 2010 Chinese New Year, named "Hongmen Banquet".

At that time, Lu Chuan said: "I will use a contemporary perspective, compare history and then restore history." Let the camera go back to ancient times and make a film with modern values and care. ”

Lu Chuan, who had too many ideas, went against the original intention of the producer, and in July 2010, Starlight International announced that "Hongmen Banquet" would find another director, and finally locked in director Li Rengang.

Lu Chuan, who has a soft spot for the theme of the Chu-Han War, found the support of Xingmei and China Film to remake "The King's Feast".

You see, Li Rengang took over in July 2010 and was released in 2011;

Lu Chuan, who took over in 2009, was released in 2012 for the Chinese New Year...

As a result, everyone knows that the word-of-mouth box office of "The King's Feast" was a double loss, and it forced Lu Chuan to turn his face with investors, but fortunately, the quality of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is also limited.

It's just worse or worse, and no one cares who is the worse one.

Speaking of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", the investment in the whole film is not small, at least hundreds of millions!

continues the problem of Hong Kong directors filming historical themes: the pattern is not large, and the most important heroism in that period of history is completely absent.

The movie reviews are all colored like this:

"Hongmen Banquet", Liu Yifei, you are dangling a P in it!'

'Anyone in front of Li Ming is an acting school!'

However, Liu Yifei is so popular because "Source Code" that he invisibly pulled a lot of viewers to buy tickets...

……

"Source Code" was released in North America for 20 days and won a total of $28 million at the box office - if it weren't for the release of "Twilight 4: Breaking Dawn (Part I)", it should have broken 30 million!

"Twilight 4" is simply a pervert, counting the $30.25 million box office at the midnight premiere, and "Breaking Dawn" (Part I) swept $139.5 million in the opening weekend.

What's even more awesome is that the final box office of this movie was 280 million US dollars, ranking third in 2011, the third highest box office in North America...

The American version of "Little Times" is better than "Little Times".

The twilight series of five films, with a total global box office of $3.3 billion!

A must-have for entertainment!

Under the suppression of this kind of BUG-level movie, the situation of "Source Code" can be imagined...

You must know that Martin Sr.'s "Hugo" is so pressed that he can't raise his head...

However, this did not affect the market expectations of "Source Code" very much, and Universal did not think that "Source Code" could do "Twilight"...

Overseas distributions were also launched in the second weekend of the release, first landing in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia, three English-speaking countries, all three of which are among the five English-speaking friend regions, and the market response to films that are generally sold in North America is not bad.

Then it entered the European markets such as France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany...

Nearly $8 million in the first week...

It's okay, at least compared to expectations, it's pretty good!

The European distribution is done by MK2, and Orange has 30% of the box office, copyright dividends...

In addition, Southeast Asian and East Asian countries have also been released...

In short, on the twentieth day of the release of "Source Code", that is, on December 1, Lu Xiaoran reposted the official Weibo of "Source Code":

"Source Code" has a domestic box office of 750 million, an overseas result of 66 million US dollars, and a total global box office of 180 million US dollars, thank you for your concern, I will continue to work hard!

By the way, "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" was overtaken by "Source Code" on the third day of its release...

……

Lao Liu is lucky!

"Source Code" + "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", two movies, are likely to be directly promoted to 1 billion box office heroines!

Then, the agent, that is, her mother, took over "The Four Famous Catches" for her...

She's going crazy!

followed Lu Xiaoran for half a month, grinding his ears and temples... No, it should be that she has a general understanding of the future market!

Mr. Lu firmly believes that after the rise of the mainland market, mainland filmmakers will soon occupy the mainstream, and the so-called Hong Kong circle will soon be yesterday's yellow flower!

He also gave an example: the box office of directors in Hong Kong rarely exceeds 300 million, but mainland filmmakers can often reach this number...

When the market expands, the box office of directors in the Hong Kong circle is still very south, exceeding 300 million...

Marginalization is inevitable!

Mr. Lu also said, you are a good actor, and you will continue to cooperate in the future...

She was originally skeptical, but after the release of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", the box office was tepid, and according to the trend, it was at most 180 million...

Li Ming + Huang Qiusheng + Chen Xiaochun, the appeal is only so much?

I have to re-examine what Lu Xiaoran said...

Now, I signed "The Four Famous Catches", and one shot is a trilogy!

It will take at least nine months...

Liu's mother said: "This is the work of director Chen Jiashang!"

“… Chen Jiashang: Has he ever made a movie with a box office of 800 million?"

"Do you know how much they pay you?"

Self-question: "10 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Qianqian, you listen to me, I'm your mother, I won't pit you!"

"Three movies 10 million?"

“…”

Liu Yifei was speechless...

After "Source Code", her salary has risen by two grades, at least 3 million, if there is another movie, such as "My Little Black Dress" and the like, it is likely to go to the next level, 5 million...

Now, 10 million Hong Kong dollars, three movies are packaged!

After cleaning up, she turned around and left the hotel: "I'll go out!"

"Where are you going?"

"I... I'm going to find Sister Sugar!"

……

Orange image, a group of people settling accounts.

"Now it's 750 million, and it is estimated that the final box office should be around 850 million, and our share is 320 million, deducting the cost + publicity and the director's account, and there is still 140 million..."

"140 million, we can divide about 30 million..."

"Overseas copyright and box office share are close to 24 million US dollars..."

"The first batch of profits from "Source Code" should be around 200 million!

"Why the first batch?"

"MK2 said, there are TV copyrights, network copyrights to talk about again, it is estimated that it will take at least eight months!"

"It's still a blockbuster to make money!"

"You're stupid, blockbusters have to see whose blockbusters it is!"

Lu Xiaoran sat in the office, Zhong Lifang poured him a cup of tea, and next to him sat Zhang Jin, Brother Song...

Zhong Lifang looked at him, and suddenly said, "It's hard work!"

“… Huh?"

"Running a roadshow!"

Lu Xiaoran lowered her head and continued to watch the sub-scenes of "Fireworks in the Day": "Oh, it's a matter of time!"

“… Why aren't you excited at all?"

"I'm also excited, I was already excited yesterday, forget it today..."

"Haha..."

Brother Song suddenly laughed heartily...

Zhang Jin hurriedly asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Look, here's a piece of news about our Boss Lu. ”

is a short video, the reporter interviewed Zhang Weipin...

"Zhang Yimou's current opponent has changed from Feng Xiaogang to Lu Xiaoran, there can only be one survivor in the Chinese film market, and I firmly believe that Zhang Yimou can defeat all Chinese directors anyway!"

“… Tsk, now use Xiaoran Bo attention!"

"He's like this, stir up the topic!"

Zhong Lifang also took the phone, looked at it, and replied casually.
