From the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square to the east, is the famous Xiying Road, named after a film factory, I don't know if there is a second road in the country.

Let the rivers and lakes rise, I will not move.

In fact, since the establishment of the West Film Group in 2009, in terms of the main business, there are almost no movies that can be called good and popular, and the only thing that can be mentioned may be last year's "White Deer Plain"...

120 million investment, box office less than 100 million...

Xiying also wants to take the Qujiang model, and wants to build a film circle + Xiying film industry cluster...

Relying on the advantages of the main business and seeking multi-wheel drive is the development path of all leading enterprises!

However, the main business of the Western Film Studio is not doing well!

In the diversified layout, the main business is placed in the position of "leasing"...

If the main business is not done well, how to drive the development of other industries?

Interestingly, in the business cooperation column of the official website of West Film Group, the option of equipment rental is placed at the top of the commercial cooperation, and the script collection is placed in the last item...

……

Lu Xiaoran and Tangtang watched the movie together, "Journey to the West"...

At this time, it has been six years since Xing Ye's last movie "Yangtze River No. 7".

The audience's perception of Xing Ye is still in the impression of the king of comedy, and the movie slogan "10,000 years is too long, seize the day" has also driven the audience's expectations for "Journey to the West".

At least it drove Lu Xiaoran's expectations...

In fact, the Journey to the West chapter is not a classic, but it really contains a little private goods of the star master...

His ex-girlfriend Luo Huijuan died in 2012.

Zhou and Luo filmed a TV series called "Heroes of the World" in 1989, in which the male protagonist played by Xing Ye was called Duan Fei.

In the Demon Suppression chapter, the role starring Shu Qi is actually the daughter of the heroine played by Duan Fei and Luo Huijuan...

Collected 83 million yuan on the first day!

Shocked the entire film industry!

83 million on the first day, it's simply...

It can only be said that the star master is awesome!

Zhang Yibai was miserable, and "Better and Better Spring Festival Gala", which was drummed by a bunch of actors, was directly given up by the theater - this movie is a bad movie, it doesn't matter if you give up or not!

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but pull up the sugar candy and go to the cinema to watch the movie in person...

The script belongs to the typical "Zhou Xingchi-style" three-stage structure.

VS Sha Monk, VS Zhu Gangguan, VS Sun Wukong...

This kind of script compilation was used as early as "Kung Fu": trio VS axe gang, charter wife, charter man VS qin demon is broken, the last paragraph, Ah Xing VS Huoyun Evil God...

The three main plots of "Demon Suppression" are the emotional lines between Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan, which are interlocking, and the climaxes are continuous.

It's just that there aren't enough jokes!

It wasn't until Huang Bo appeared that he had a joke: "I held two watermelon knives in my hands, cut from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road, and chopped back and forth for three days and three nights, it was a river of blood, but I just started with a knife and fell with a knife, and my eyes didn't blink!"

"Not blinking for so long... Will your eyes be dry..."

The audience burst into laughter...

That's what comedians are all capable of!

Among all types of films, comedy is the most dependent on the actor's own expressiveness, which is completely different from idol dramas where "acting skills are not enough, and appearance is made up".

The same bridge is performed by two people with different performance skills, and the effect is often very different.

Huang Bo's Monkey King said in the cave: "Where the can I go"

At first glance, how can a mediocre sentence make the audience burst into laughter?

It can only be boiled down to Bo Ge!

……

Walking out of the cinema, Lu Xiaoran glanced at the audience who were queuing up one after another, and sighed: "This movie will definitely break one billion!"

Tangtang gave him a blank look: "... I also know that many people are now predicting that it will reach 1.5 billion!"

She is also a professional producer, and she knows how to predict the box office!

Lu Xiaoran shook his head: "1.5 billion is unlikely!"

"Why?"

"Half a month later, at the "Hobbit" meeting, there will be "Detective Jack", "Les Miserables", "Mystery of Robbery", and next month "Resident Evil 5", these movies will definitely diverge..."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoran sighed: "I should have spent 500 million yuan to release the "Demon Suppression Chapter"!"

"500 million guaranteed?"

"Huayi has a guarantee of 300 million yuan, and won the mainland distribution right of "Demon Suppression"..."

The so-called guaranteed distribution, also known as the box office guarantee, refers to the commitment of the film distributor to the producer to achieve a certain box office.

Generally speaking, for promising films, the film distributor will make a market estimate in advance and set a price acceptable to both parties, that is, the guaranteed box office.

If the guaranteed box office is exceeded, the producer will distribute the account to the distributor according to the agreed figure, and if it does not exceed it, it will also pay a certain amount of money according to the proportion agreed in advance.

"Then why don't you take it?"

“… I didn't have time to talk about it, Xing Ye has already signed a contract, and I always feel that guaranteed distribution is a bad thing for the film industry, you see, the movie hasn't been released yet, so the money is divided, so who will..."

"Sugar gourd, I want to eat sugar gourd!"

Lu Xiaoran swallowed the next words into his belly: "... Okay, I'll buy it for you!"

……

The Huayi brothers finally raised their eyebrows!

With the release of "Demon Suppression", Huayi's stock price also began to skyrocket...

Last year's Chinese New Year, "Thai Embarrassment" exploded suddenly, disrupting the original plan of the Huayi brothers!

At that time, in order to make way for "1942", the postponed "Zodiac" had to face Bona's "Big Shanghai" and Xingmei's "Blood Drops", and it had to fight to the death with "Thai Embarrassment"!

Cheng Long has also faced a lot of negative press...

But "Zodiac" sold more than 800 million, and "Journey to the West" is at least more than one billion according to the current point of view!

"Thai Embarrassment" is amazing, but "Zodiac" and "Journey to the West" are almost 2 billion...

"Demon Suppression" was 83 million on the first day, and the box office on Valentine's Day on February 14 reached 123 million yuan, breaking the highest single-day box office record of 112 million yuan held by "Transformers 3" in one fell swoop, setting a "single-day box office record in Chinese film history".

According to incomplete statistics, during the 7-day Spring Festival holiday, "Journey to the West" exclusively contributed 500 million yuan to the total box office of more than 700 million yuan in theaters across the country, and it was unbeatable in the Spring Festival stalls.

Huayi Brothers took the opportunity to launch a movie plan for 2013: "The Great Tsunami", "Loyal Yang Jiajiang", "City Control Strategy", "Baseball Gorilla", "Di Renjie Prequel: Shendu Dragon King", "Private Customization", "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman"...

By the way, 'de-cinematization!'

Huang Zhongjun said directly: If you only do box office in the future, I think this company will go astray, and Huayi must not only make movies.

A reporter asked Zhong Lifang, who emphasized: Everything about Orange is around the layout of the movie, and we are making content, which is the foundation of our foothold, and it is also a traditional advantage.

Publicly call Huayi...

Why is it openly called?

It's not because Huayi's market value has surpassed Orange Image again...

For the time being, the two major private media companies in the mainland are Orange PK Huayi!

According to the market 7:2:1, the share of real Longtu enterprises is 7% - Orange and Huayi have put forward a market value target plan of 100 billion.

Whoever grabs seventy percent first will be the leader...

Then you can successfully break 100 billion!

Orange gave up this year's Spring Festival stalls, which is indeed a bit irrational...

But then again, even if you can release a new film, you may not be able to stop "Demon Suppression"...

Why did Zhong Lifang stand up and respond?

Because Lu Xiaoran went to the United States...
