Chapter 640: The Light of Guoman
As an alternative main theme movie, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is basically regarded as a commercial action movie in the eyes of most audiences.
Of course, this cannot be said to be a problem.
Zhang Hanyu and Lin Gengxin and others did support the action part of the movie.
Although it is indeed a bit nonsense to be able to drive tanks all over the ground when the snow is closed, but at the end of the year, I was fooled into watching a bad movie like "Taiping Wheel" not long ago, so when watching other things, I will naturally subconsciously relax a little more demanding......
And to be honest, Xu Ke's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" can indeed be regarded as the one with the least bugs in his plot logic in recent years.
At least it's much better than the mysterious map in "Shendu Dragon King" that goes to the East China Sea not long after going out from Luoyang.
In addition, the producers of this "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" include Wanda Pictures and Berner Films, and the distribution work is handled by Wuzhou Pictures, a subsidiary of Wanda Entertainment.
As of January 25, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" has accumulated 870 million yuan at the box office.
Although this achievement is only more than half of "Detective Chinatown", for Wanda Pictures, which has not had many outstanding achievements, the achievement that "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" can recover all its investment by relying only on theatrical income is enough to make Wanda Pictures feel satisfied.
It's just that in the end, this achievement is completely attributed to the young Zhuang faction who took over Wanda Entertainment, and the real decision-maker Ye Ning has already quietly left......
Thanks to the market popularity brought by "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", since the New Year's Day in 2015, many movies have chosen to follow behind and join the war group.
For example, on February 19th, the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are enough five movies such as "Heavenly General", "Wolf Totem", "Zhong Kui Fu Demon: Snow Demon Spirit", "Dad's Holiday", "Rushing to the Clouds", etc., if you count the "Legend of Rabbit Man: Qingli" launched on the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is a full six movies squeezed together......
Hey, that's not over yet.
"Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" that Molong Media got from Guanglu Media also chose to join the battle group at this point in time on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Having said that, this time can be regarded as the result of Li Mo directly using the power of the president after thinking about it for a long time.
Don't look at the pile of films above, there are big brother Cheng, internationally renowned directors, popular fathers, and domestic first-line stars like Chen Kun and Li Bing, but when it comes to the Spring Festival file, there is really no one who can play.
The twilight of the hero, the twilight of the hero, and the eldest brother Cheng, who has just passed his sixtieth birthday, is indeed not very impressed.
Although his "The Lion" has invited internationally renowned movie stars such as John Cusack and Adrien Brody, the core of the story is still those old-fashioned things.
Although the story of Big Brother Cheng's movies in the past was not very complicated, at least his action scenes and endless jokes were enough to make the audience happy enough, but this time I don't know if Big Brother Cheng wanted to play a big move or other reasons, he actually found an Oscar-winning actor like Adrien Brody to show his acting skills in commercial films......
This kind of tongue-twisting operation will naturally not make the audience buy it, and the eldest brother who doesn't talk much has become a grassroots cadre of the Han Dynasty, reasoning with others, this kind ......of scene makes people feel embarrassed just by listening to it.
If it weren't for the fact that Big Brother Cheng's signature was strong enough, the results of this movie would only be worse.
If "Heavenly General Hero" relied on his eldest brother to escape the catastrophe, then "Zhong Kui Fu Demon: Snow Demon Spirit" did not have such good luck.
Chen Kun and Li Bing are undoubtedly good actors with acting skills, but in addition, neither of them is a star with enough box office appeal.
In fact, after Li Bing began to move abroad in recent years, the domestic market has always been used as a spare tire by her, and if the producer hadn't found Chen Kun to be the leading actor this time, Li Bing wouldn't even plan to take over this drama at all.
turned out to be a good thing, the two old partners were cheated together.
Although the remuneration given by the production company is indeed very generous, but to the point where Chen Kun and Li Bing are more or less cherished feathers, using the reputation and audience impression they have accumulated for many years in exchange for a temporary high salary, it is really difficult to say whether this transaction is a loss or not.
Among so many films in the same schedule, "Wolf Totem" is a relatively alternative one.
It's said that it's different, but it's more because this movie and other films are two worlds at all.
A work with a realistic theme like "Wolf Totem", in fact, the overall style is not very suitable for such a time as the Spring Festival.
Although Jiang Rong's original book sells fairly well in the paper book market, the movie is a completely different platform from the book after all, and the prose descriptions in the original book also make it much more difficult to adapt this work.
But fortunately, this time the producers found Jacques Arnaud to be the director.
Although this guy is not an internationally renowned director in the impression of ordinary audiences in the Celestial Empire, the reputation of the movie "Wolf Totem" after its release is surprisingly good.
Although the data of about 32 million on the day of release is not amazing, it is indeed enough to be impressive to be able to rely on less than 10% of the box office to achieve such a good result.
But in the entire Spring Festival file, the most amazing work is "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", which was produced by Molong Media and jointly distributed by Guanglu and Tianying Group.
As a slight masterpiece of domestic animation, "The Return of the Great Sage", like "Wolf Totem", still follows the path of word-of-mouth counterattack.
Although the tap water in this year is still a bit far behind the original time and space, with the full investment of Tianying and Mo Long in theater scheduling and publicity, "The Return of the Great Sage" still got 12% of the film schedule on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
You must know that even "Heavenly General" and "Snow Demon Spirit", on the first day of release, their film schedule was only about 21%.
For a domestic animated film to be able to get such a high number of films, it is already the result of internal communication between the two major theater chains.
Fortunately, "The Return of the Great Sage" did not live up to Li Mo's expectations.
Although it did not win the box office list on the first day of release, the score of 45 million has already set a new single-day box office record for domestic animation films.
To be honest, when the staff of Molong Media congratulated Li Mo with this achievement, his reaction in his heart was really not happy, but speechless for a while.
is also an animated movie, the imported product "Kung Fu Panda" from the other side of the Pacific Ocean can break 100 million in a single day, and the animation movies of the Celestial Empire did not even reach 50 million on the first day of the New Year, which can make people happy like this......
It's really more than goods to be thrown away, and people have to die more than people......
