Chapter 155: Malice... (4/6)
"Red Cliff", which cost $120 million and took two years to build!
China Film attaches great importance to this project, after all, "Titanic" has dominated the domestic box office charts for 11 years...
This is a shame for Chinese films!
Lao Mouzi once used "Hero" and "Golden Armor" to impact twice, but both ended in failure...
The third master can't wait, he wants to come by himself!
1.2 With the investment amount, China Film bears 20%!
That's $24 million, close to $150 million!
It is not only the highest investment in the history of Chinese films, but also the film with the highest investment in China Film...
By the way, China Film invested 20% of the money, and what I want is the box office share in the mainland...
It's a pity that there are constant contradictions when making it!
At the beginning, it was a change of role, and the original Zhou Yu was Zhou Runfa, because Chow Yun-fat's salary was too high, and the specifications were too excessive, China Film asked Hu Zongming to change the role and replaced it with Liang Chaowei...
Halfway through, there weren't enough funds – the original planned cost of the shoot was $85 million, and another $35 million was added...
It's finally over, and it's going to be released soon.
The third master definitely hopes that "Red Cliff" can be a big hit!
So, pick a good schedule, it's best to have no opponents before and after...
However, Zhang Junsheng's "Crazy Stone" is actually set for June 20...
This is very bad!
What if, the good word-of-mouth affects the box office of "Red Cliff" on the first day?
Therefore, he hopes that Yuehua can take a step back, let's say it will be released in August!
As for "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" released on August 10, he doesn't care if the two movies will beat themselves up...
He really didn't know that Li Mingze had done so many things behind his back, and he had raised the file?
Did you say that you can raise the file?
China, Japan and South Korea will be screened at the same time, and they have all been discussed, on July 2nd...
“… If you want to fight, I will fight!"
After reading this interview with "Entertainment Weekly", the third master called the secretary and asked him to make an appointment with Li Mingze and Hu Zongming!
Of course, he also wanted to suppress Yuehua, if "Crazy Stone" failed to win the Palme d'Or, the third master might really support "Red Cliff" against "Crazy Stone", but now, the other party's momentum has become...
……
After returning from Cannes, Wang Bo really felt the difference in his identity!
The most intuitive change is that there are obviously more scripts looking for him, and there are also a lot more endorsements and commercial performances...
even received an invitation from "Very Perfect", and the other party's salary was 3 million!
"Very Perfect", starring the International Chapter and Fat Bing...
, 3 million?
"Crazy Racing", his salary is only 500,000, which has risen six times?
Young people, success is too fast, it is inevitable that you will be lost, but fortunately, he has excellent emotional intelligence, and when facing the interview, he gave all the credit to the director and screenwriter, describing himself as a lucky primary school student...
But in private, I still indulged a few times.
It is inevitable that you will pay attention to your own style, Lao Tzu is an actor!
I secretly met a few investors, a few brokerage companies, and compared them, it is more comfortable to stay in Yuehua...
These are all things that Wang Bo told Zhang Junsheng many years later in a drunken ...
……
After returning from Cannes, he only had a day off, and Zhang Junsheng fell into a busy reform work again!
"Tengu" is released!
Actually, Yuehua didn't have much expectation for the box office of "Tengu", such a movie with a rural theme would kill eight million!
Last year's "Glorious Fury" had a good reputation, what was the box office?
It's less than 100,000 yuan...
Maybe the distribution company didn't even think about letting it go to theaters, and only released 2 copies - no loss, it was sold directly to the movie channel!
So, don't say anything about the word-of-mouth, the blood is gone, and the people make money!
Otherwise, how could Cao Baoping's second movie "Li Mi's Conjecture" get an investment of 6 million?
The production cost of "Tengu" is 4 million, and the export version is all transferred to 12 million US dollars - after Wang Bo won the award, many more filmmakers bought the film...
The movie channel bought the TV rights for 2 million...
Yuehua has earned close to 60 million...
The movie channel is also one of the producers, and it accounts for one-third of the profit share!
So can "Tengu" be a big hit in China, and what impact does it have?
Of course, it has an impact, and it is related to Wang Bo's vote appeal!
After all, it is a masterpiece of the gods, if the box office fails to sell well, some people must suspect that Wang Bo is the kind of actor who can't carry the box office...
A Cannes actor, Wang Bo is already one of Yuehua's business cards.
Therefore, with a big wave of the company's publicity department, 8 million publicity funds were directly opened...
On May 28th, "Tengu" won a box office score of 9 million with 48% of the film schedule!
It's not too high, but it's already the highest record for a crime genre...
The word of mouth is bursting...
"Shocking. The story itself is shocking, the filming of the movie is reminiscent of reality, which is very uncomfortable, Wang Bo's acting skills are shocking, and he really deserves to be the Cannes actor!"
"The characters are all standing, the plot is smooth, the editing is done in flashbacks and narratives interspersed with each other without chaos, and the overall completion is particularly good. I have to praise Wang Bo, he acted so well!"
"Shocking the heart, Wang Bo has done it as a madman!"
On the second day of release, the box office was 8.8 million, and on the third day it was 6 million...
The decreasing trend is obvious, and the theater chain has gradually reduced the film schedule, and the box office is at most more than 40 million...
No way, this kind of depressed movie box office is usually not very good, and there are a lot of competitors in the same schedule, "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", "First Blood 4", "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", including "Shinjuku Story" starring Fang Shilong...
……
Entertainment Weekly is currently the entertainment magazine with the largest circulation in China.
Yang Li is a ruthless person, and the day after the interview, he wrote in the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly" that 'if you want to fight, I will fight'...
I know how to take advantage of the situation!
Of course, he knows the attention of "Red Cliff", and he also knows the attention of Zhang Junsheng, and skillfully opposes the two.
Then the attention it arouses, not too high!
Not only is the current issue of "Entertainment Weekly" sold out of stock, but there are also many people on the Internet discussing "Red Cliff" and Zhang Junsheng...
Most of them support Zhang Junsheng!
"Definitely support our boss, people are pressing step by step, why do you want us to retreat?"
"The circle is too complicated, I originally thought that Zhang Junsheng was already powerful enough, but I didn't expect that there would be even more powerful!"
"That's "Red Cliff" after all... If I were Zhang Junsheng, I might really agree to retire for a month..."
"Are you stupid? "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" will be released in August, will "Crazy Stone" compete with it for the box office?"
"Does Hu Zongming have in his brain? Why do you have to PK with "Crazy Stone"?"
"Probably to prove his box office appeal!"
"There's something wrong, the production cost of "Red Cliff" is $120 million!"
Online discussions are in full swing, and the topic continues...
Then, at the beginning of June, a bunch of posts suddenly appeared in Tianya and Tieba, with similar content: 'Revealing the secret of Hu Zongming's praise of T actors and suppressing mainland filmmakers...'
posted anonymously, citing many examples to prove that Hu Zongming suppressed mainland filmmakers...
Especially two of them, 'I called Junqi Zhao and said that you are an actress I have admired for a long time, but I was fooled into going to "Red Cliff" to be a supporting actress for Lin Zhilin, who has never acted';
In order to praise people as soon as possible, a quick method was created to use mainland first-line actors to match T actors, so that mainland investors will think that this T actor is better than mainland first-line actors, which naturally improves the popularity, value and volume of T actors..."
Immediately, the post went viral!
