Chapter 590: Buy the Box Office!(The First Subscription Requests!)

In an office of Renyi, Li Rengang, who had already confirmed the contract with Guangxian, immediately came to visit He Jiping, the screenwriter of the film.

In the domestic film industry, whether it is the mainland or Xiangjiang, screenwriters often obey the director's orders.

But some gold medal screenwriters can have great autonomy.

This is a status obtained by writing scripts for blockbuster movies, and He Jiping is such a big-name screenwriter.

Although Li Rengang is the director, he still came to her in person, and the two sides agreed on the general context of the script.

The director is the controller of the film, and the screenwriter must at least be consistent in the general direction.

The specific details will depend on the screenwriter to fill in.

It's just that the first part has fixed the big frame, and it's basically a semi-original story.

Based on this situation, it is impossible for them to overturn the background of the movie and then choose a big story from the original book to adapt.

In that case, it would be wrong to call it the second part, and audiences who have watched the first part will be confused when they watch the second part.

After several hours of deliberation, the general background was basically determined as the seizure of power by the emperor and the empress dowager, and An Shigeng's motives were also explained.

Blur the positive and negative positioning of the prince, and give an open ending at the end of the third part.

The main thing is the style of the film, although this is a martial arts film, but Wen Ruiyu's has some magical colors, how to weigh the overall style, especially the fighting style, is the most important thing for a martial arts film.

After talking for a morning and determining the overall style, Li Rengang will talk about it in detail after the outline of the script is released.

When I got out of the Renyi Building, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly vibrate.

As he walked, he picked up his phone and glanced at the number.

Li Rengang sneered, answered the phone, and said "hey" indifferently.

"It's Director Cheng, is there something wrong?"

The phone mileage merchant forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm himself down, "Director Li, you took over the sequel to "The Four Famous Catches"?"

"That's right, I'm next. Li Rengang said lightly.

This indifference made Cheng Jiashang scold in his heart, but he still smiled and said, "Director Li should not be short of film contracts in the mainland, how could he want to take over this stall." ”

A hint of sarcasm crossed the corner of Li Rengang's mouth, "What, do I have to report to Director Cheng if I take any films?"

Faced with Li Rengang's mocking rhetorical question, Cheng Jiashang, who was already on the verge of rage, finally couldn't help it.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything, who asked Director Cheng to make you Xu Ke's apprentice, Xu Ke helped me make a sequel back then, so I reluctantly helped you make a sequel. ”

Li Rengang finished speaking coldly, and hung up the phone directly.

"Whew!"

Looking at the busy street outside, Li Rengang breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person was much happier.

Back then, he became famous with "Nine Yin True Scripture" and "94 One-armed Knife", and was praised by Zhang Ce as the third-generation head of romantic martial arts, and he made a name for himself in the entire director circle and erected his own style.

A "Black Man" was a global hit, earning more than $80 million at the box office and videotapes.

Although it is starring Li Lianlian, and the script is also jointly created by Xu Ke and Xu Anhua, the whole film is very Li Rengang's personal style, which also made him reach the peak of his directorial career.

Immediately after preparing for the second part, Xu Ke kicked him away from his director, and the contradiction between Li Lianjie and Xu Ke further intensified and withdrew from the second part.

Although he also entered the Japanese and Korean markets with "Fairy Tale of the Stars and Moon" after that, it has been going downhill.

was even reduced to filming the TV series "Before and After the Battle of the Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" starring Lin Zhiying.

In the end, New Century turned over with the two movies "A Tiger" and "Raptor", and successively took on several costume blockbusters.

But there was a delay of 12 years in the middle, from "Black Man" to "Raptor", and it took 12 years to have the opportunity to direct a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions.

Originally, "Seven Swords" was defeated by Tang An in China, and he didn't know how happy he was, but the invitation of "Di Renjie to the Heavenly Empire" was rejected and he found Liu Dehua again, and he wished that Xu Ke would fail again.

Unexpectedly, "Tongtian Empire" was a box office success, and after Yu Dongzhong said peace, he said that Li Lian was moved to shoot "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which was a great success again.

There is no way to take Xu Ke, just bumped into half of Xu Ke's apprentices, and half of the revenge!

......

On the other end, Cheng Jiashang hung up the phone with an angry face.

It is true that Li Rengang and Xu Ke did not deal with each other, and Cheng Jiashang did not expect that he would pick up his own mess for this matter.

Li Rengang didn't give him face, he had already taken over the sequel, and he couldn't help it.

"I'd like to see what you can do with the second part!"

Now Cheng Jiashang can only watch how the second part of Li Rengang's shooting hit the street!

......

A "Four Famous Catches 2" has set off a lot of waves in the circle, and Guangxian found a combination of gold medal screenwriter He Jiping + third-generation martial arts director Li Rengang, giving up the original director Cheng Jiashang, which also gave up the insiders to talk about for a period of time.

Especially the grievances and hatreds, after tea and dinner, or after being busy, it is also a good topic.

However, the film market near the Spring Festival is still hot, and most of the eyes are still on movies.

On January 8th, Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" was long overdue, and this kung fu film, which started filming at the end of 09, refreshed Wang Jiawei's best results in the mainland.

180 million in the first 6 days and nearly 300 million in 20 days.

On January 15, "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which previously broke 17 box office records in South Korea and had nearly 13 million viewers, broke the box office record in South Korean film history, and only got 25 million box office after more than half a month of release.

On January 21, "007 Skyfall" landed in the mainland film market, and Bond once again refreshed the best results of the series.

230 million in the first 7 days in the first week, which exceeded the 120 million of "007 Quantum of Solace" released in 08 in just one week.

"Pleasant Goat", a regular visitor to the Spring Festival stalls, was not absent this year, and got a box office of 65 million in 4 days, breaking 100 million and being as stable as a dog.

Another animated film "Balala Little Demon Fairy" also had a good box office, with a box office of 29 million in 4 days.

"Rock Kingdom", which is also an animated movie, got a box office of 50 million in 11 days.

Now there are more and more animated movies released during the Spring Festival, all of which are aimed at the children's market, and cartoons and games are constantly being adapted.

However, another Sino-Korean 3D animated film "Porulu Ice and Snow Adventure" faced the encirclement and suppression of several domestic action movies and returned miserably.

This animated blockbuster, which is said to have invested 100 million yuan, just broke 10 million yuan after its release ten days ago, and was hung up and beaten by Pleasant Goat, Little Demon Fairy and Locke.

The sci-fi suspense movie "Cloud Atlas" starring Tom Hanks and Zou Xun was mediocre at the domestic box office, with a box office of 76 million in four days.

This movie is composed of a book, six stories, a span of thousands of years, and more than 30 characters, and it is difficult to find a similar movie in recent years.

However, in the eyes of my country's audience, the whole thing is so troublesome, and it can be explained clearly with the words "six reincarnations".

It's a bit messy, but the story is not awkward, and there are a few times when the lines of the actors in the previous story are dissolved into the images of the next story.

However, this kind of film is unlikely to sell high at the box office no matter what, and even the local audience in the United States still didn't buy it, and only got $26.8 million.

It's a good movie, but it's not a movie that the vast majority of viewers want to see.

There is such a comment on Weibo: This movie is like a detective with an IQ of 320 written in ancient Latin full of philosophical metaphors, and the only value of its existence is to humiliate the reading habits of ordinary people, because the dick didn't plan to let everyone write a book review for him anyway.

It's a bit too radical, but it's a bit brain-consuming, although it's much simpler than the original.

The most awesome thing about this movie is that blacks sometimes become white, yellows sometimes become white, women sometimes become men, and it is easy to not recognize people who are unfamiliar with actors or face blind.

For example, Zou Xun played a male hotel manager, a female clone, and a blonde and blue-eyed Yanma... No, the little Yanmar is pretty much the same.

Those few foreign actors, I really can't recognize those who don't know them.

The makeup artist of this film must have come to China for further study, otherwise why would the makeup technique be so bullish.

In addition to these movies released in January, among the other movies in the Lunar New Year file, "Longling Grotto" has been drawn, and the final box office is 1.275 billion, ranking second in the box office of Chinese film history.

The box office of "1942" failed to break the 400 million mark.

"Zodiac" is still being released, because Huayi and Nuomi movies have smashed 24 million tickets to make up for it, and Nuomi.com has made every effort to promote the group buying business, and the box office has ushered in a big explosion again a month after its release.

A large number of 9.9, 19.9, and even Nuomi.com's group buying has launched special movie tickets with a group purchase price of 5 yuan, and the box office has been soaring.

In more than two weeks, it soared from 884 million to 1.001 billion.

You must know that the fifth week of release is only 59 million yuan, and commercial blockbusters generally have a one-month release cycle, and then the box office begins to decline.

However, in the sixth week of its release, "Zodiac" relied on a large number of ticket subsidies and Huayi's commitment to the theater chain, and then the box office share dropped from 43% to 35%, and the theater chain also gave the greatest support and arranged a large number of yellow scarf screenings.

In the sixth week, "Zodiac" achieved a reversal and got 61 million, and still won 52 million box office in the seventh week, with a total box office of 997 million in seven weeks of release.

The ticket supplement has already run out, Huayi has smashed another 5 million, and the glutinous rice movie has also sold 1 million.

In the next eighth week, there are only 5 days left before the Spring Festival.

On Monday, "Zodiac" successfully broke the billion mark, becoming the fifth film in the history of Chinese cinema to break one billion, and the only action movie.

The market value of Huayi also broke through the 10 billion mark for the first time at the opening of this day, and it had reached 10.8 billion in the afternoon.

For a while, Huayi was in the limelight, not only in the entertainment page, but also in the economic page, and Huayi was also busy publicizing.

However, on February 5, early the morning of the second day when the box office broke one billion, negative news about "1942" buying the box office began on a large scale on the Internet, casting a shadow on Huayi, who was on the rise.
