Although the Chinese movies in March are basically on the streets, some filmmakers think that April will definitely bottom out and the box office will definitely improve.

The first to get off to a good start is "Single Men and Women", which will be released on March 31. The film tells the love story of Gu Zai and Wu Yanzu, two handsome guys, competing for the big beauty. It can be said that handsome men and beautiful women are all over the screen, which really attracts a lot of attention.

The box office and reputation of the film are still good, and it is no longer affected by "The Return of the Great Sage", and there is no suspense when it looks at the box office results of 95 million in the previous life. As a low-cost love movie with simple scenes, the box office of nearly 100 million is already a big profit.

followed by "Tough Guy 2" starring Golden Horse actor Liu Ye, which was released on April 1, April Fool's Day. Although there are long-legged beauties Zhang Zilin in the film, "Xiao Li Flying Knife" Jiao Anjun and Korean stars joined, but they are not welcomed by the market, and the box office in the previous life was only more than 20 million.

One more thing to mention is that Liu Ye is a good actor, who won numerous awards when he debuted, but the box office of the films he participated in was always not very good. The first film starring him, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" sold only one copy in the country, which was regarded as a typical case of zero distribution.

But after this film was bought by a Japanese benzene filmmaker for $80,000, it won a box office of $8 million in Japan, and the media reported that the final cumulative was $35 million, which is really weird.

After that, some of the influences belonged to the Hollywood anime "Rio Adventure" and the Chinese film masterpiece "Warring States".

The film is claimed to have an investment of 100 million and a half, and superstars from China, Japan and South Korea have joined, and even the premiere celebration is held in the "National Convention Center", a place that is very lofty just by hearing the name.

What's even more strange is that the producer actually sent an invitation to Lu Lin, inviting him to attend the world premiere celebration held in Beijing on April 6.

Because of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", Lu Lin felt a little guilty about Miss Jing Yan. Thinking about it for a few hours, on the afternoon of the 6th, he asked the executive director to continue filming according to the storyboard script, while Lu Lin drove his Volkswagen Bora to the capital.

When I went to the vicinity of the North Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, I first found a place to eat, and then rushed to the National Convention Center in the Olympic Park before six o'clock.

In addition to the high-level representatives of the distributor China Film, Shanghai Film, Starlight Film and Television, TV and Radio Media, and Happy Blue Ocean Film and Television, there are also Huayi's Xiao Wang, the glamorous Li Xiaoping, Huang Minfang of Bona, and the Li Zong of Xiaoma Pentium.

But Lu Lin always felt that the latter people didn't seem to come to cheer, and it seemed that they had more thoughts on coming to see the jokes.

It is normal for newly established film and television companies to struggle in the industry, and it is also normal for them to be hostile to established film companies. Even if he is as strong as Wan Da, after being established in another time and space 11 years, he only invested in the talented girl Xu Jinglei's "Intimate Enemy", and still followed Zhongying to eat.

hasn't gained a foothold in the circle, and he dares to play a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions, and the producer of "Warring States" is very domineering!

The whole film claims to have an investment of 150 million, which is definitely a blockbuster investment in 11 years. Because this money can be used to film "Let the Bullets Fly", "October Siege", "Confucius", "New Shaolin Temple", and "Guan Yunchang...... Of course, you can also shoot "Warring States"!

I won't discuss the matter of artistic achievements and box office, there is really nothing to say!

In Lu Lin's view, the biggest contribution of "Warring States" to the Chinese film market should be to warn latecomers, blockbusters are easy to be pitted, and "newcomers" need to be cautious. This newcomer refers to the new companies in the film market.

With the same investment, there are Fa Ge, Jiang Wen, Uncle Ge, Liu Jialing in "Let the Bullets Fly", and those like Cheng Kun can only play a small supporting role.

"The Siege of October", "Confucius", and "Guan Yunchang" can all be called big names and lively. But when it came to "Warring States", there was no weighty "salary emperor".

In addition, in terms of publicity and distribution, "Let the Bullets Fly" cost 50 million, and there are 1,500 bus stops in Beijing alone: 1,500 bus stops for one month, two months of subway media trailers, and ...... of the city's main outdoor LEDs.

"Warring States" is quite lively except for the premiere ceremony, and the rest is unknown .......

In fact, from the behind-the-scenes staff of this movie, it can be seen that this is mostly a layman meeting a layman, with tears in his eyes.

The director of the film, Jin Yan, was a standard literary film director before, and he had never touched a commercial film. Inviting a literary film director to direct a commercial blockbuster is bigger than "Ten Cold". One more thing to mention is that the thunderous "New Smile and Proud Jianghu" in 18 years is also this person's work.

The producer of "Warring States" has only had one movie before, which is also "My Beautiful Boss" by Miss Jing Xiang. There is no need to discuss the plot or theme, because it is meaningless. is the producer of "My Beautiful Boss", who played the role of producer in "Warring States".

It can be said that the whole film is an unprofessional director plus a novice company, an amateur producer, a newcomer heroine, and a "pseudo" big-name lineup. Expecting such a film to praise Miss Hongjing, I can only say that I am rich and willful!

"Warring States" is not favored, but Lu Lin is popular. Since entering the venue, there has been an endless stream of people who greet him and get close to him.

Capital is profit-seeking, the market is realistic, and people in the circle "love and hate" Lu Lin. hates that the box office of "The Return of the Great Sage" is too high, and hates that Lu Lin only cooperates with Bona, but he thinks about whether he can have a relationship with Director Lu.

Huang Minfang, the secretary of the board of directors and vice president of Bona, pulled Lu Lin out of the crowd, sat in the first row and whispered: "Why did you come here in person!"

Lu Lin smiled "hehe", "Come over and have a show, it's a matter of a few hours!"

Huang Minfang laughed in a low voice: "Director Lu is too real, won't he look at the face of that Jingda beauty?"

Lu Lin smiled and didn't speak, at this time, Jia Yanhai, the vice president of Wanda Pictures, sat down next to Lu Lin, and said in a strange manner: "Director Lu has good means, Ming Xiu plank road secretly Chen Cang, saying that he was going to cooperate with Wanda in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and secretly poached our boss!"

Lu Lin smiled indifferently and said, "You Wanda is a big company, and my Longlin is a small studio." Mr. Song has his own reasons, and there is no right or wrong in business, right?"

Jia Yanhai snorted, pointed to the many main creators who had just stepped onto the stage, and said with a dry laugh: "Director Lu looks at the lineup of "Warring States", how is it better than ...... "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

Lu Lin was stunned, looked at the vice president in his forties, and secretly said in his heart: "You don't have any pressure in your heart! Is this comparable? With your eyesight, you can become the vice president, I can only say that your relationship is strong enough!"
