Chapter 465: The Big Waves Sweep the Sands!(Second Update!)
The market at the beginning of each year is the off-season, and in the past two years, there have been more Spring Festival stalls before it became popular.
However, because this year's Spring Festival stalls are also tepid, there is still no big difference from before.
In March, the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "The Battle of Los Angeles" was released, but this time it was not converted to 3D.
If this film is really converted into 3D, it is estimated that half of the audience in the movie theater will vomit.
The director is very serious, the aliens in it are combined with model shooting and CG production, and in order to make the picture more realistic, most of the shots are shot by hand photography.
It's a bit like Li Rengang filming "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", regardless of anything else, the action scenes are absolutely first-class.
The hand-held camera has obvious shaking, and then it is converted into 3D, and the viewer who is used to motion sickness should vomit after not seeing it for 10 minutes.
The movie is actually okay, the special effects are good, the plot...
Forget about the plot, Hollywood blockbusters never watch the plot, the main theme of the country, the music together, the momentum is majestic, the aliens are not enough to watch at all, and the combat power does not exceed 5.
In the end, it is still the standard sensational ending, quite a main theme.
The box office is also good, 85 million in 3 days in the mainland, but it does not sell well in North America, 36 million US dollars in the first weekend, 60 million US dollars in 10 days, and there is no hope of breaking 100 million.
In the same period, there was also a "Guanyin Mountain", which got nearly 60 million box office in half a month.
Director Li Yu is also a good friend of Fan Binbin, and the previous "Apple" and later "Second Exposure" were all filmed by her.
After leaving Huayi, Fan Binbin's films in recent years are either Berner's relationship or Li Yu's two, although the box office is not high, but there are many nominations for those film festivals in Europe.
"Apple" was nominated for the Berlin Golden Bear, "Guanyin Mountain" won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the East Economic Film Festival, and Fan Binbin also won the East Economic Film Queen with this movie.
There are a hundred flowers in the country, and there are East longitude shadows in the world, and they are all taken silently.
And the relationship between Li Yu and Fan Binbin is the best friend among the best friends, kissing in public at the celebration banquet of "Guanyin Mountain", or kissing with the tongue......
......
Although there were no movies released at the beginning of the year, the major companies are not idle at all, and blockbusters are being filmed in time for the summer and Chinese New Year.
Tang An was perfecting the storyboard script in the office, while listening to the report of his assistant Xiao He.
"Chairman, the 3D martial arts blockbuster "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" invested by China Film Group and Bernard Films was officially launched yesterday. ”
"Well, Chen Kun's schedule is coordinated with the other party, let Director Wu arrange it himself, don't delay the progress. Tang An nodded.
Xu Ke originally started by playing with technology, and there is nothing strange about making a 3D movie this time.
Berner is listed on the NASDAQ and there is no difficulty in renting a 3D device.
Xu Laowei is also left and right, the "Di Renjie" series began to cooperate with Huayi, and now he has found China Film and Berner to shoot "Dragon Gate Flying Armor".
Later, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" included Bernard, Youku, Bayi, Wanda, Huaying, and Oriental Media.
"Journey to the West" has more investors than Gao Group, Wuzhou Distribution, Magic Shadow, Hengdian Film and Television......
It seems that in addition to Guangxian and Pony, Xu Ke has cooperated with major companies in the circle.
Guangxian has already recruited Xu Ke's apprentice Cheng Jiashang, Xiaoma has Wu Yusen, and Xu Ke has broken with him.
Tang An remembered that Shi Nansheng was already a director of Berner, and asked casually, "Is Shi Nansheng, the producer of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"?"
"No, the producer is also Xu Ke, and Shi Nansheng is the producer. Xiao He replied.
Tang An shook his head, even if it was Shi Nansheng, nothing would happen, although the two of them were divorced, the relationship was still very good.
Otherwise, Xu Ke would be unlucky, don't look at him as a great director, Shi Nansheng's status in the circle is not lower than hers, otherwise Yu Dong would not give her shares.
Xiao He then reported.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has also been launched, with an investment of about 250 million to 300 million, and Zhang Weiping shouted the slogan of 100 million US dollars overseas. ”
"Didn't Jiang Zhiqiang participate this time?" asked Tang An.
"Without Eucalyptus' investment, it is said that Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Weiping had a falling out. Xiao He shook his head and said.
History is really the same, Zhang Weiping, an arrogant maniac, kicked Jiang Zhiqiang away this time.
Originally, Zhang Yimou's films in the past were all joint ventures between New Picture and Eucalyptus, and the new picture took the domestic share, and Eucalyptus took the overseas share, and the specific investment was discussed.
However, this time "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" invited Christian Bale to star, Zhang Weiping thought that the overseas income of "The Thirteen Hairpins" would be better than that in China, so he asked Jiang Zhiqiang to give more money.
As a result, Jiang Zhiqiang disagreed, and Zhang Weiping said that he was confident that he would invest in full himself.
Therefore, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is also the only movie that Zhang Yimou has not invested in since the new century, and it was all eaten by the new picture.
I don't know where Zhang Weiping got his honey confidence, thinking about selling overseas and wanting to swallow it alone.
Then the overseas copyright is not bought out, Zhang Weiping directly and boldly asked for the model of guarantee + sharing.
As a result, the overseas completely hit the streets, if it weren't for the domestic box office of 600 million yuan and barely repaying the bank loan, Zhang Weiping would have gone bankrupt.
This kind of thing would not be done by any of Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian, it would be too stupid, and all the belongings would be suppressed, and if they lost, they would have nothing.
This film also directly led to the collapse of New Pictures, and the film and television company that relied solely on Zhang Yimou withdrew from the competition for the Chinese film market.
In addition to the new picture, other companies are improving, and Guangxian has successively set several movies such as "Tongquetai", "Four Famous Catches", and "Speed Angel".
In addition to "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", Berner also has "The Great Magician", "Big Shanghai", and "Hedong Lion's Roar 2".
In addition to these old big companies, Great Aim began to get involved in the film industry, teaming up with Wanda Pictures and Meiya Entertainment to prepare a blockbuster, and found the pair of Mak Chaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang.
Juli Film and Television invested in "The Legend of the White Snake" and invited Li Lian's partner Huang Yiyi.
Xingguang International found Li Rengang and Tianwang Liming to adapt "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".
Dadi Cinema is also involved in film and television production and will remake "A Chinese Ghost Story".
On the pony side, Ning Hao's new film "The Great Gold Robbery" is also in preparation.
It seems that the domestic film market has suddenly entered an era of a hundred flowers, and more and more new companies have emerged and begun to shoot blockbusters.
Tang An chuckled and shook his head, it is estimated that the 1 billion box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" stimulated these film companies and foreign capital.
These medium-sized enterprises, how can they have so much courage to invest one or two hundred million yuan to make movies, and it is estimated that there is foreign capital behind them.
That is, BAT has not yet entered the market, and Wanda is not yet a climate, otherwise it will be more lively.
But it was also a knockout game, with big waves and a lot of corpses left on the beach.
It is estimated that half of these blockbusters will have to lose money, and if they can't be sold overseas, then the pants will be lost.
In the end, the winner is the one who remains.
