Chapter 678: The Ace Dispatched
As a movie with a huge investment, although the financier behind "The Woman of the Dynasty - Yang Guifei" is indeed very rich and can spend a lot of money without considering whether the income can be recovered, but many times, even if investors and directors do not pay attention to the box office for various reasons, the actors who have starred in the work still value these things very much.
Not to mention anything else, to measure whether an actor has box office appeal, and whether he can get a higher level of actor remuneration in the future, isn't it all about watching the box office of previous movies?
The Celestial Empire is not so bad here, Hollywood on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, even if it is a superstar with better ability to resist pressure, once there are so many commercial movies hitting the streets, the actors' salaries will instantly return to before liberation......
If the actor himself is only on the rise, then the collapse of a movie may make his years of hard work go to naught.
The most famous example of this is an old man named Taylor Ketch.
is the one who played the king of cards in the "Wolverine" independent movie.
The dude's most well-known record is in 2012, when he starred in three commercial films in succession.
Barbarian, Supership, and Alien Battlegrounds......
Among them, "Alien Battlefield" ranked first on the list of losses in film history;
"Super Battleship" cost $200 million to produce, and the global box office is less than $300 million;
…… From then on, the dude had to look for opportunities in HBO TV movies, which are known for their large-scale series.
It's the same on the side of the Celestial Empire.
Although Fan Bing's name is resounding, and the name of the topic queen is by no means empty talk, when it comes to the appeal of the movie at the box office, Fan Bing is not only in the middle and lower of the 'Sidan Shuangbing', but with the strength of Molong Media, Tong Liya, Liu Yifei and others now have their own works.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is reasonable or reasonable, public or private, "Yang Guifei" still started its own propaganda war in accordance with past conventions.
Then, the distribution convenience of "Yang Guifei" faced a problem: how to seize the opportunity in the limited market?
Often, most companies take the approach of smearing their competitors and making them less likely to be perceived by the audience, so as to achieve the goal of promoting their films.
But when the name is Tianying Group, the distribution team formed by Shiqing plans to follow the cat and draw the tiger and draw the scoop according to the gourd, but it finds that this routine is a bit unsuitable for the current situation.
The first is that the situation of the opponent has changed.
"The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain" is approaching the next film at this time, and hitting the street is a foregone conclusion, so there is no need to spend any effort on it at all;
After two weeks of fermentation, "Small Times 4" and "Gardenia Bloom" have completely collapsed, and now they are completely dependent on making some cost money every day in the cinema market, and they seem to have no difference at all;
As for "The Peace: The Other Side"?
Excuse me.
Although Shiqing is a newcomer in the film production industry, he is still very well-informed.
Shiqing still knows the news that large investors and distributors, including Guanglu Media and Wang's Group, have decided not to continue to invest in publicity.
In other words, "Taiping Wheel: The Other Shore" will be released in an almost Guoben posture, what difference does it make if it is black or not?
No, maybe someone hacked it, and it could be regarded as an indirect assist to this movie.
After counting, the only opponent of "Yang Guifei" is the "Wolf Warrior" that runs all the way.
After ten days of release and a box office of more than 500 million, the cumulative box office of "Wolf Warrior", which was released for two weeks, successfully exceeded the 700 million yuan mark......
But the problem is that "Wolf Warrior" still can't be black.
In addition to Wu Jing's Dengfeng International, the investor is Li Mo's Molong Media.
One of these two companies is Wu Jing's own studio, which completely serves him alone, and the other is an upstart in the domestic film and television media industry in the past two years......
For Shiqing, the upstarts in the industry are actually nothing remarkable, anyway, they are not as rich as the big boss behind him.
But the problem is that when this upstart still has the top three theaters in the country, it will be very remarkable.
Li Chaoren's son is very good, but the problem is that he can't go to buy a theater in order to fulfill a movie dream of his subordinates and friends, right?
Shiqing is 100% sure that if Molong Media is hacked, the film schedule of "Yang Guifei" will definitely be affected.
Since investors can't be black, can directors and actors find some news?
Sorry, still no.
Yu Nan, Ni Dahong, and Shi Zhaoqi are all low-key people in the circle, and they can't be more low-key in the circle, and they can't achieve the effect at all.
Black Wu Jing?
I'm sorry, not to mention that Wu Jing didn't have much black material in the past, even if this would be able to turn out his black material, no one would dare to hype it up.
Due to the fact that he visited the front line of the armed police and fire fighting in several cities during the roadshow of "Wolf Warrior", and the producer of "Wolf Warrior" will fulfill its promise every other week, posting all kinds of documents and photos of condolences to the front-line officers and soldiers in various places for money and goods, and even Yang Ma praised Wu Jing and "Wolf Warrior" in the program "Celestial Empire Film Report".
With this layer of aura protection, unless Wu Jing exploded on the spot at this time, his marriage was derailed, and negative news was taken to the real hammer, he is currently the most unmoving existence in the entertainment industry......
There's no way, since it's not dark anywhere, it's only for the movie itself.
"If you've never watched a Hollywood blockbuster, you probably won't think of this movie。。。。。 It's really invisibly arrogant and narcissistic......"
"From the plot to the special effects to the action scenes to the sensational scenes, there is also a blunt patriotic education. ”
"Vulgar lines, pretending to be forced acting skills! ”
In all fairness, as said in the comments, if you measure "Wolf Warrior" by the level of the Hollywood film industry, you will indeed find all kinds of problems, and the patriotic education part in it is indeed quite blunt, but this is not the reason why this kind of scene should not appear in the movie.
Even in any country in the world, it is a virtue to love one's country and to be proud to be a citizen of the country in which it is located.
Since foreign countries can add patriotic themes and content to movies, why can't the Celestial Empire?
If the processing method is not good, then optimize the processing method and cut it all in one fell slash, what kind of ghost logic?
Wu Jing's acting is not good, and the director's skill is not good, it is a matter of the actor's ability and director's skills, which is purely technical, but if you say that there is a problem with the theme of the movie because of this, it is another matter.
I have to say that Shiqing's attack on the movie itself can indeed be regarded as a breakthrough, but allowing the hired water army to expand its scope wantonly, and finally rose to the height of 'can you show patriotism in the movie', it is obviously a precursor to getting away......
Originally, Li Chaoren has been a little unpopular in recent years, but now his subordinates are playing cross-border and messing around, do you want to make trouble?
In desperation, the distributor of "Yang Guifei" finally remembered that he had always had a trump card in his pocket that he had not used, and at this time, they simply couldn't care so much.
It's up to you, come on, Master Fan!
