Chapter 24: Trivia (part 2 of 5)
Feng Xiaogang, a first-line director in the mainland, was evaluated by Newsweek as 'China's Spielberg';
"Tangshan Earthquake", the catastrophe that is remembered in my heart;
Huayi Brothers, China's most powerful film distributor.
The three aspects are added together, and the box office is only 600 million, which is simply sorry for the audience!
Objectively speaking, Feng Xiaogang filmed such a theme, which is a bit flattering.
The name of "Tangshan Earthquake" at the beginning was "Aftershock", which is a general family ethics drama: the story of 'After My Mother Abandoned Me'.
The name is "Tangshan Earthquake", but the theme of the movie is a bit unclear, it is a disaster film that collectively recalls suffering and embodies warmth, why do you have to call it this name?
The two backgrounds of Tangshan and the earthquake have been severely blurred, and all that remains is a lonely family – first their house collapsed, then their wife was separated, and then their family was reunited.
Of course, there is no big problem, Feng Xiaogang is still very good at telling stories, coupled with the good acting skills of a group of actors, Chen Daoming, Xu Fan, Zhang Jingchu, and Da Hei Niu scored 36.2 million box office on the first day of release, creating a new high for Feng Xiaogang's films...
can get such a high box office, and it must also count the audience popularity that Feng Xiaogang has accumulated over the years, the cooperation of the theater chain, and the appropriate schedule.
The box office results of "Tangshan Earthquake" broke 100 million in 3 days, 170 million in 4 days, 200 million in 5 days, 300 million in 7 days, and 400 million in 11 days, which is understandable!
Broke some column records!
"I think there's a good chance that this movie will exceed 800 million!"
Feng Xiaogang was a little stunned.
He should also be nervous, because the Film Bureau has moved the domestic release time of its biggest rival "Inception" to September 2, that is to say, throughout August, "Tangshan Earthquake" is dominant!
Well, the stamina of this movie is not as strong as imagined...
17 days, 500 million;
25 days, breaking 600 million...
And then "The Expendables" came on...
probably knew that his movie might stop here, Feng Xiaogang wrote a paragraph on Weibo: The Huayi team is full of honor. We have been destroying the camp all the way, passing the hurdles, and the momentum is unstoppable. Especially the battles of "Assembly Number" and "Tangshan" were fought beautifully. There are no big stars, not a typical commercial film, and they still come out on top. Chinese films have changed from sunset to sunrise, and we have witnessed and participated in them, which is difficult to describe.
Of course, he has to mention Huayi...
After the release of "The Great Earthquake", the stock price of Huayi Brothers rose sharply.
Therefore, it is better to go public, it is the money of shareholders to make movies, and the movies are sold well, but the money earned is their own!
......
It's still that Japanese restaurant, but what you don't need is that this time there is Cao Binkun...
Wang Luodan sighed: "I really regret it, I shouldn't have taken that "Unmanned"!"
"Unmanned" chose to be released on July 2, just in the box office explosion period of "Big Man", and was crushed all the way...
Sister Ge's second attempt at a movie ended embarrassingly again...
The first time was "Rules Before Love", the movie was sparsely made, don't mention it!
But "Unmanned", director Zhang Yang, screenwriters Zhang Chong and Huo Xin are all well-known figures in the circle!
Especially Zhang Chong, who has written scripts for Phoenix Satellite TV's "Qiang Qiang Threesome", "Wen Tao Shooting", and "Across China"!
Huo Xin is also the screenwriter of "Carry Love to the End", "Bath", "Love Malatang", and "Kung Fu"!
Producer: Xingmei Entertainment - Xingmei International Cinema, have you heard of it?
No matter how you look at it, the cards are not bad...
Lu Xiaoran glanced at her, and then said: "Actually, the script is okay, the imitation is "Crash"..."
The story is really good.
It's a pity that it was messed up by Zhang Yang - "Crash" is a multi-line narrative movie, and multi-line narrative requires the director to have strong control ability, and the whole story must not look disorganized.
Coincidentally, Zhang Yang just made it into a messy story...
Sister Ge sighed, and then asked, "Has the movie you told me been made?"
“... It's all over, and you're only saying this now!"
"Who is the heroine looking for?"
“... My wife, you don't want to act, I can only ask her to save the scene!"
Wang Luodan smiled awkwardly...
It was indeed her rejection of "33 Days of Broken Love" first...
"Eh, Lao Cao, why haven't you been filming recently?"
Cao Binkun said: "I filmed, I filmed two TV series, and it should be broadcast in a while." Recently, I was preparing a movie, "Scorching Sun", and invited Mr. Cao Baoping to be the director!"
"The scorching sun?"
"Well, based on "The Scorching Sun", a very good part of the crime film!"
Wang Luodan's eyes lit up: "Is there a shortage of actresses?"
Lu Xiaoran was a little embarrassed: "... Yang Xiaomi has already been decided..."
Wang Luodan choked for a moment, looked at the brothers enviously, and then sighed: "... It's so good, you're all better than me now!"
Cao Binkun thought she was joking: "What's wrong with you? The ratings of "Du Lala's Promotion" are quite high, and I am ready to congratulate you!"
"Durala" was broadcast on July 22 and has won the national double championship of Dragon TV and Beijing Satellite TV Theater this year.
And it set the best results of Beijing Satellite TV's TV drama ratings this year.
Not only that, 14 days after the launch of the Whoosh Fox video, the total number of views exceeded 100 million, and the number of views in a single day has also exceeded 10 million, creating a record of "the highest daily playback" and "the fastest increase in playback volume" of the Whoosh Fox video.
Sister Ge in 2010 does have a strong appeal in TV dramas, of course, "Durala" itself is also a big IP...
Wang Luodan shook his head: "It's been a long time since I've received a fun role..."
Lu Xiaoran interjected: "I heard that you seem to have taken over the TV series version of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"?"
“... It's in contact, it's still undecided!"
Lao Cao smiled: "The TV series version of "Du Lala", the TV series version of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"... Co-author, you are going to endorse the TV series version in the future?"
Of course, Lu Xiaoran knew why Wang Luodan took these two roles, and frowned: "... You don't need to be in such a hurry to change your image, do you? I think the image of the sample is pretty good..."
"But Chang's mother said that I have to transform into Tsing Yi!"
"What kind of type, does Chang Jihong want to make you the second Jiang Wenli?"
Wang Luodan asked rhetorically: "... Is that bad, Mr. Jiang?"
"But you're not the same person with her at all... I think you're suitable for chick movies, and you're also quite suitable for the little fresh literary route!"
Wang Luodan stared at the sashimi in front of him and didn't speak...
may be thinking about what Lu Xiaoran said.
As early as 07, he persuaded Wang Luodan not to be in a hurry to transform, isn't the character image of Milai and Qian Xiaoyan fragrant?
Seeing that Wang Luodan didn't speak, Lao Cao stretched out his hand and pushed it, and then said: "You listen to him, professional director, professional advice!"
Sister Ge nodded: "Take me in the future, try to lean in these two directions..."
Lu Xiaoran picked up the wine glass and touched it with Cao Binkun, and then said: "By the way, Brother Hong Lei came to me two days ago and said that he had taken a fancy to a book called "All the People Witnessed"..."
