Although for many industry insiders and audiences, Xu Zheng's "Hong Kong Embarrassment" handed over this time is definitely not a good movie, but I have to admit that Guanglu Media's two moves to raise the file have been firmly hit at the key node.

Mainly, the time of 2015 is too weird.

First, "The Return of the Great Sage" refreshed the box office ceiling of the entire Celestial Empire anime films, and then Hollywood blockbusters bombarded in turn for three consecutive months......

finally waited for July, and domestic movies began to emerge, but the first "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" became a squib again.

In the next two months, the majority of the audience was tossed around by all kinds of bad movies......

finally arrived in August, and waited for Xu Zheng's "Hong Kong Embarrassment......

Unfortunately, it's still not good.

Of course, many industry insiders who say that "Hong Kong" is not good, many may not be able to reach Xu Zheng's achievements in their lifetime, let alone use their own movies to slap "Hong Kong" in the face.

In addition to these industry insiders and audiences who have watched "Hong Kong", for theaters, the release of "Hong Kong" is definitely a timely rain.

No way, since entering August, "Wolf Warrior", which is being released in major theaters, has inevitably ushered in a period of decline.

This is not because there is a problem with the quality of the film, nor is it that someone has made a black shot at "Wolf Warrior", it is simply and clearly the market rules.

After all, this is only "Wolf Warrior", not the later "Wolf Warrior 2".

Originally, all major theaters were counting on this "Yang Guifei" to take over the baton, not to be able to defy the sky, but to let everyone drink a mouthful of gruel, and live without starvation......

The result?

Zhang Yimou directed a group exercise, and Tianzhuang Zhuang simply became the consultant of the crew, tossing for a long time, and the one who controlled everything was the Shiqing who used to be an insider but has not set foot in the film and television industry for ten years......

it!

knew that this product was behind the cat, and a fool would believe that "Yang Guifei" could counterattack.

was released for 20 days, and the box office of "Yang Guifei" did not even exceed 200 million......

The major theaters are almost nervous.

Seeing that there were two or three kittens in the screening hall every day, everyone wanted to cry without tears.

That average attendance seems to be difficult to maintain the electricity bill and machine wear and tear of each screening room, right?

Don't care if "Hong Kong" has cut off the life of "Yang Guifei", and don't care whether the reputation of "Hong Kong" is bad or not, all in all, the audience who bought tickets to enter the venue is real......

As for the audience reputation of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is still slowly and resolutely declining?

I'm sorry, I've only heard of complaining about actors, directors, and even production companies, but I haven't heard of anyone complaining about theaters......

Everything is fake, only the real box office share is real.

On the tenth day of its release, the box office of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" successfully exceeded 1.3 billion!

This speed is even faster than Li Mo's "Detective Chinatown"!

It stands to reason that at this time, there shouldn't be anyone stupid to come out and say goodbye to "Hong Kong", right?

I'm sorry, but in this world, it seems that there are always some people who will choose to take a completely unusual path with others.

And this time, the name of this brave man is - "Nine-Story Demon Tower".

And this brave distribution company is - Lay's Pictures.

(PS: Strictly speaking, the accurate name of the main investor of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" should be called Lechuang Entertainment, which is a film and television company under Lay's, but in order to omit the effort of introducing the background, write directly about Lay's Pictures, friends who know should not delve into it, thank you ^_^)

It is the so-called 'feng shui in turn'.

It was less than a week before Guanglu Media raised the file twice and cut off the last glimmer of hope for "Yang Guifei", and its strategy was learned by Lay's Pictures.

Speaking of which, Lay's Pictures should actually be regarded as the wave with which Guanglu Media has a good relationship.

Because Zhang Zhao, the current CEO of Lay's Pictures, is the former CEO of Guanglu Media.

In 2011, when Li Mo went to Guanglu Media, Zhang Zhao had just left his post for less than three months.

Of course, Zhang Zhao's resignation process did not have any conspiracy to exclude, power struggle, face-to-face tearing and the like......

The reason for his departure is simple, there are people who support him to take it to the next level and become his own boss.

It is precisely for this reason that all of Wang Changtian's retention of Zhang Zhao has ended before it has even begun.

Let him stay?

And then let Wang Changtian give way?

Are you kidding?!

Wang Changtian is not yet fifty years old this year, Zhang Zhao is older than him, ask Wang Changtian to give way to Zhang Zhao?

Even if Wang Changtian agrees, the board of directors of Guanglu Media will not agree.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to leave.

After leaving Guanglu Media, Zhang Zhao, with the support of someone, founded Lay's Pictures (it is actually Lechuang Entertainment, write directly, don't delve into it.) ), as the company's CEO and executive director.

At this stage, Lay's Pictures and Guanglu Media still have a good relationship.

But with the development of the company, what happened in 2013 and 2014 made the relationship between the two companies go from being pretty good to becoming competitors.

Because, their movie hit the schedule.

To be fair, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

Everyone is in a circle, why should I shy away when your movie is released?

Only fools let it!

Grab food according to your ability!

Then, there is the 'tragic' showdown.

In 2013:

Guanglu Media - "Fuji Detective" VS: Lay's Pictures - "Small Times"

Lay's wins!

In 2014:

Guanglu Media - "You at the Table" VS: Lay's Pictures - "Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth"

Guanglu Media wins!

Just this past May 2015:

Guanglu Media - "Left Ear" VS: Lay's Pictures - "Why Sheng Xiaomo"

……

Well, this time it was a draw.

In May, "Avengers 2" crushed the audience, and the domestic movies are the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, and all of them are miserable......

This game is barely a draw!

Three battles, one win, one draw and one loss!

It seems that everyone has not suffered?

Are you kidding!

For Guanglu Media, being scolded by Molong can be said to be that Li Mo is too demonic, and if he loses, he can only accept his fate, plus Molong is still in control of the top three theaters in the country, even if Guanglu Media wants to go crazy, there is no way......

But it's not the same for Lay's?!

When your boss was a good baby in front of me, didn't you just have a few stinky money?

is the so-called not fighting for steamed buns and fighting for tone, not to mention that when Guanglu Media raised the file this time, it was aimed at "Yang Guifei" from the beginning, and it can be said that it is understandable that it can't provoke Molong, and it can be said that it can't be provoked by "Wolf Warrior", but finally "Hong Kong" has some signs of turning the tide, and Lay's Pictures actually played a role in raising the file, and it was clearly raised to the second weekend of the release of "Hong Kong", which is not intentional?

Ghosts don't believe it!

Wang Changtian is not a ghost, but he also doesn't believe that Lay's is not for him.

After so many years of crawling and rolling in the circle, daring to take Guanglu Media and Wang's Group to be tough, how can Wang Changtian be afraid of things?

I didn't say it, copy the guy, it's on!
