Chapter 750: Lost Confidence

At the end of July, the mainland summer vacation has basically entered the second half.

"Mystery Superstar" officially broke the 2 billion mark on Monday of the fourth week, once again sweeping the entire summer file.

"Transformers 4", which has a box office potential of 2 billion, has also been strongly suppressed, and other movies with good box office such as "Small Times 3", "Beijing 81", and "After the End" are also insignificant in the face of the super high box office of "Mystery Superstar".

The gimmicks of these movies are not small at all, especially Guo Jinming and Han Han are facing each other in the film industry.

And the films made by the two are completely two extremes, which makes this contrast even more obvious.

"Beijing No. 81", as the highest-grossing horror movie in recent years, is also a dark horse.

However, all this seemed insignificant in front of Tang An.

In addition to the reports on "Mystery Superstar" and Tang An, the front-page headlines of the mainstream media and various media outlets are also about the sucking incident.

In this regard, the investors and distributors of several other films are also helpless.

was released in the summer, and they also faced Tang An and "Transformers 4", they didn't expect to surpass these two movies, they just wanted to take advantage of the popular schedule to have a drink of soup after the release of the two blockbusters for more than ten or twenty days.

After all, if it is released on an uncompetitive schedule, the box office may not be as good as the summer season, even if it has to face strong opponents.

It's just that the box office of these movies is very good at present, which can be said to have greatly exceeded the expectations of the filmmaker, and at this time it is beginning to look forward to Shu again.

People just will never be satisfied, can get so much box office in the gap between two hit movies, if there is no such big competition, wouldn't the box office still be able to soar.

It's a pity that there are no ifs, all they can do is to work hard to publicize.

But it was all in vain, and "Mystery Superstar" broke the box office record set by "Interstellar" on Tuesday, and once again snatched back the headlines of entertainment news from Ke Zhendong.

After CCTV's interview was broadcast a day ago, Ke Zhendong squeezed out "Mysterious Superstar" again, and today he won it back by breaking the historical record.

Two major events, coupled with Zou Xun's wedding, the broadcast of many popular variety shows and TV series, and several other movies have appeared on the hot search only a handful of times.

The summer file is not only the summer file of the film industry, but also for variety shows and TV series.

After breaking the film history record, "Mystery Superstar" did not stop moving forward, and still won a super high box office of 241 million this week, and the total box office in 25 days came to 2.295 billion.

In the fourth week, even if "Mystery Superstar" has a super high reputation, it can no longer maintain its previous trend, and the decline has slipped to less than 50%.

However, the data of 241 million in a single week still allowed "Mystery Superstar" to win the weekly box office championship again, winning the weekly crown for four consecutive weeks.

"After the End" ranked third in the second week with a score of just 200 million, and the newly released "White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" got 210 million in the first weekend and four days, ranking second.

The martial arts films supervised by Xu Ke, as well as classic stories, the reputation of the two leading actors at this time has not been completely rotten, and the data of 210 million in four days is normal in the popular summer file, after all, the two popular films have been released for almost a month.

But of course, the reputation is surprisingly poor, and it has a fight with "Little Times".

Some viewers are more curious about how Wang Xiaoming is half a head taller than Fan Binbin in the film, as tall as Fan Binbin, and one bar shorter than Fan Binbin.

The remake of the film has a high box office, the male and female protagonists are famous enough, the reputation is poor, and it is completely the elements of the hot topic of the script.

There is nothing to report on other movies, but "The White-Haired Witch" has attracted many media follow-up reports, and all kinds of comments have been sent out one after another.

Of course, almost all of them are bad reviews.

At the same time, there was another animated film adapted from the game "Dragon Nest", with Hu Ge and Jing Tian dubbing.

32 million in four days, which is also a good result.

IP, song IP, and now that the game IP has also come out, Tengxun doesn't know if he has ever thought about adapting games such as "Crossfire", "Dropped City and the Weak Warriors" into movies.

The players of the latter are known as eight million warriors, and if they are made in 3D, one ticket is 50, and one ticket for eight million warriors is one ticket, which also has a box office of 400 million.

After all, playing games is much more expensive than watching movies, and a gift package for the New Year's holidays is a few hundred yuan, and the audience should pay for the movie tickets for dozens of dollars.

July has passed, and in the previous month, Tang An was definitely the biggest winner.

Berner also made a lot of money with the two movies "The Future" and "The White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven", and Yu Dong can be regarded as sweeping away the haze of delisting from NASDAQ.

Lay's could have become one of the winners of the summer file with "Small Times 3", but the actor of the movie had an accident at this time, and it was still an irreparable scandal, which directly affected the box office of the movie.

This once again directly affected the injection of Lay's Pictures into the listed company Lay's, and all shareholders, including Zhang Zhao himself, had to lose a lot of money.

Hua Yi and Guangxian don't have much sense of existence, after all, there are no movies for hundreds of millions.

But he didn't show idleness, Wang Changtian took the cat's eye, which is much more important than a big production, and now most of the energy is focused on the cat's eye.

Huayi, on her side, is preparing for the publicity and distribution of films such as "Micro Love: Getting Better", "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman", "One Man's Martial Arts", and "Taiping Wheel".

At the same time, the "Legend of the Gods" in cooperation with Xiang Huaqiang is also ready to be established.

It's so fast, from the intention of cooperation to the record to the formal project, it only takes two or three months.

This is a mythological blockbuster, not a drama, and "Legend of the Gods" has been prepared for nearly two years.

All props, exterior scenes, sets, script polishing, preliminary models, and special effects have been prepared for almost two years, and they have not yet been officially launched.

However, the speed of money laundering is not fast at all, it is completely normal.

Wang Zhongjun also attaches great importance to this film, making a 500 million big production, plus a large number of stars, no matter how bad it is, it is no problem to get him a box office of seven or eight hundred million, and Huayi will make a steady profit.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei talked about the project, and Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, "Xiang Huaqiang has invited Li Lianjie, Liang Jiahui, and Gu Tianle, which is almost enough." ”

The film depends on the box office in the early stage, and the lineup is definitely crucial, and it is best to fool all the audience in the first weekend.

Wang Zhongjun nodded, "Plus Wang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin, it's enough." ”

As one of the investors and issuers, Huayi also has several role quotas.

Wang Xiaoming plays Erlang God, and Fan Binbin is of course still Daji.

A few years ago, in a TV series "Fengshen", Fan Binbin played Daji, and the audience's response was not bad.

As for Fan Binbin, who has become self-reliant, Wang Zhongjun still gave her this role.

Fan Binbin is now on board with Hengda, and Huayi is also developing a movie town with Hengda, which is still a little connected.

Besides, since Shuangbing and Zou Xun are gone, Huayi's actresses have also been brought out by Yao Chen and Yang Ying, and they are obviously not suitable for this role.

Huayi is the issuer, and there is also a distribution share, which is also a large number.

confirmed the starring role, but Wang Zhonglei said, "Big brother, there is something wrong with Fan Binbin, she doesn't seem to want to take this film." ”

"What's going on?"

Wang Zhongjun frowned, this kind of blockbuster will not be less, and the shooting is simple and the time is short, it is definitely a good opportunity to make extra money, with Fan Binbin's person, how can he not accept it.

Wang Zhonglei explained, "The first two days were basically negotiated, but now when I send someone to negotiate the contract, her agent is obviously shirking." ”

"I checked, her agent went to Hantang Media yesterday, I guess it may be for Wu Ershan's "Fengshen", he should also want to fight for the role of Daji. ”

Wang Zhongjun instantly understood that these two films of the same type basically knew what was going on in the circle, and any actor knew how to choose.

As for why Fan Binbin had discussed it well before, and suddenly changed his attitude, Wang Zhongjun guessed that he might have confidence after seeing that "The White-Haired Witch" had a good box office.

However, Wang Zhongjun didn't have much hope for Fan Binbin, during Tang An's time in Huayi, Fan Binbin took the initiative to come up many times, but Tang An didn't pay attention to it, and politely with obvious estrangement.

You must know that Tang An had a good relationship with most of the actors when he was in Huayi, no matter how famous he was, except for a few people including Fan Binbin.

Obviously, Tang An was a little reluctant to Fan Binbin, and as for the reason, Wang Zhongjun didn't know, and he wasn't interested in knowing.

Although Tang An's casting has always been based on whether it is suitable or not, and there is not much personal bias, it is never possible for anyone in this world to treat everything equally, and personal preferences can affect people's choices at any time.

Tang An doesn't want to see Fan Binbin, even if Fan Binbin is really suitable for the role of Daji, Tang An is unlikely to use her.

Wang Zhongjun didn't care, he smiled and said, "Then wait until she hits the wall, then it's time for her to take the initiative to find it." ”

Wang Zhonglei nodded and said, "That's okay, I guess she doesn't have a chance." ”

......

In a movie theater, the crew of "The White-Haired Witch" is preparing for the next roadshow.

The heroes and heroines Wang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin are both there, although the box office is good, but the two protagonists are worried at this time, as if something is wrong.

Wang Xiaoming glanced at Fan Binbin, and suddenly said, "Yesterday your people went to Hantang?"

"That's right. ”

Fan Binbin nodded and said with a smile.

There are a large number of paparazzi around Hantang Media, and no one can hide it from them when they come and go every day, after all, they don't meet in private.

She thought about Zhao Jun, the director of the production department of Yue Hantang, coming out alone, after all, Zhao Jun was the vice president of the production department in Huayi before, and he was also an acquaintance.

But people are not available, so they have no choice but to come to the door officially.

Although Wu Ershan's "Fengshen" trilogy is not known to anyone outside the circle, all the companies and actors in the circle are all staring at it, a big production of 2 billion, any role is a great attraction for ordinary actors.

I don't know how many people have already taken action, whether the executives of Hantang know or don't know each other, they all set up the line in a roundabout way, see you first.

Fan Binbin is not worried that others will know, although the reputation of "The White-Haired Witch" is a bit bad now, but the box office is there, and it can be regarded as a success.

This is the only box office hit of her as the heroine, and it is also her capital.

With results, there is everything, otherwise it is all false.

Moreover, after all, she has not signed a contract with "Legend of the Gods", so she is just shopping around without any problems.

Fan Binbin hadn't considered Wu Ershan's "Fengshen" before because she had no achievements on the big screen, and she could feel Tang An's estrangement in Huayi before, and she herself was confused, she had always deliberately curried favor, and she should not have offended Tang An.

But now that I have achievements and capital, it is impossible to win this role.

There are definitely not many actresses with box office appeal in China, and if Tang An can reverse his prejudice against himself without knowing what's going on, then there will be more than one series.

Moreover, he can make the attitude of the big director who has always ignored his love and answer, although it will not reach the level of "today you ignore me, tomorrow I will make you unattainable", but Fan Binbin believes that with his beauty and means, he can always make a breakthrough!

Fan Binbin thought quite confidently in his heart, looked at Wang Xiaoming again, and said with a smile, "You should have the same idea as me." ”

The two "Fengshen" are like a genuine version and a shoddy pirated version, everyone knows how to choose, but any actor who has some hope will want to fight for it.
