"No, "No Man's Land" will be launched exclusively on Yuehua Video next year... I mean hype it up with three years of banning..."

Zhang Junsheng informed Tang Ningyu of the matter he discussed with Han Shanping.

Tang Ningyu was a little hesitant, the plan was very good, but: "Will the Film Bureau agree?"

"Why not, people have to complete KPIs!"

In the first year of the signing of the "Sino-US Film Memorandum of Understanding", the Film Bureau needed a few Chinese-language films that triggered a frenzy of movie-watching, the kind that could compete with Hollywood!

After all, up to now, the total annual box office is 28 billion, and the proportion of foreign language films is 60%, which is not the purpose of the signing of the "Sino-US Film Memorandum of Understanding"!

"Big Man", "Painted Skin 3", and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" are of course very good, but they are far from enough!

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is close to the end of the class, and the single-day box office has long fallen below 500,000, with a cumulative box office of 1.45 billion and an overseas box office of 98 million US dollars, and in Asia, South Korea contributed 3 million viewers, close to 18 million US dollars;

The box office in Europe is not very high, after all, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" does not conform to the universal concept of the West...

Compare "Super Body", it is obviously not enough to watch!

originally expected the Chinese New Year file to make a wave of Chinese movies, and Ma Xiaokang died by himself...

If "Days Related to Youth" does not take a little means, the box office will be 250 million at most.

"The King's Feast"... It took a lot of effort to break 100 million at the box office...

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

……

"The King's Feast" was sandwiched between "Youth Pi" and "Days Related to Youth", and it almost couldn't stir up the storm.

A movie, if it doesn't have attention, is equivalent to being sentenced to death!

Although Lu Chuan said at the press conference: ""The King's Feast" has an investment of more than 200 million, and if the box office is not good, it may quit the film industry..."

Nobody cares...

During this time period, everyone was busy scolding Ma Xiaokang, and by the way, lift Ang Lee!

"Life of Pi" really has a word-of-mouth explosion, and of course multiple interpretations also have an advantage...

Ang Lee really calmed down, the part where the whale of "Youth Pi" crossed the water for a full year!

As for Ma Xiaokang, he continued to scold film critics and scolding the audience on Weibo...

Lu Chuan is more sore this time, the theme of "The King's Feast" is not the kind of movie that naturally occupies a moral advantage!

"Ke Ho Xili" and "Nanjing Nanjing", such a movie, choose a good topic that is "uncriticizable", add the packaging of art film elements, and add a sincere gesture, it is easy to make yourself invulnerable.

"The King's Feast" is more tragic...

Director Lu Chuan's self-positioning has always been an artistic director who wants to follow the direction of a master.

He is proud and noble in his bones, likes the sense of epic, the times and the sense of ritual, likes the depth of human nature, and likes those grand propositions and words.

"The King's Feast", he defined it like this: "The King's Feast" is not a Hongmen banquet, he is talking about the fate of an era, the fate of a group of people, it is not a meal at all...

It makes sense, but the theme he wants to express has been used up badly: history is written by the victors, history is tampered with by those in power...

And it adopts the stage play and literary mode, which looks very high, but I'm really sorry for the investors...

With an investment of 200 million, it was released for a week, and the box office did not reach 40 million!

Lu Chuan couldn't sit still!

Took the initiative to provoke the topic: "I hired a water army!"

"Since you choose to stand in the sun, there is nothing to hide. Our word-of-mouth maintenance team joined urgently, if it wasn't for the crazy suppression before, why bother to make this decision, thankless. ”

"Since the beginning of "Nanjing!Nanjing!", there has been this kind of network 'black water', and this decision to do so is also to learn the lessons of "Nanjing!Nanjing!", because negative reviews have affected the survival of this film, I don't know how much of a role maintaining word-of-mouth will play in the hall and box office, but after all, word-of-mouth is a very important part of the survival of the film, since we can't change the rest, we can only do a good job of this only channel. ”

"Many people have done everything for the box office! His behavior is a disservice to the entire industry, and he doesn't even want to lose face for the sake of the box office!"

"That's right, I'm talking about Yuehua Media!"

"The Beijing News" directly reprinted this Weibo...

Netizens have mixed reviews.

"Lu Chuan, you really should see yourself clearly, "The King's Feast" is really bad, and there is a problem with the gravity of the earth that can't pull out the?"

"The audience has paid for the box office, and everyone is not allowed to have fun?

Some people also said: "Yuehua Media is really a cancer in the industry!"

"The competitive method of pouring black water started with Zhang Junsheng, back then..."

"I'm sick, why do I suspect Zhang Junsheng? His movies haven't been released yet? Why couldn't it be Dongyang Media?"

……

Zhang Junsheng is studying "City of Crime", if he wants to shoot it, he must not follow the Rodriguez way, he wants to make a realistic work, for example, draw on the history of the fall of "Baltimore", and make a film about how a city goes to degenerate...

Baltimore is the least secure city in the United States, and it's much more chaotic than Chicago!

In 2014, 343 people died of murder in Baltimore, reaching 56 per 100,000 people.

With a population of 620,000 and Chicago with 2.7 million, Chicago has a population more than four times higher than Baltimore, but only 650 people were murdered in 2014, which is not that high compared to the 343 murders in Baltimore.

For comparison, Chicago is 32.9 percent black, 45 percent white, and 28.9 percent Hispanic, while Baltimore is 63.7 percent black, 29.6 percent white, and 4.2 percent Hispanic.

It can be said that Chicago is still an American city, and Baltimore is about to become South Africa.

Chicago and Baltimore are both cities with the strictest gun control in the United States, and the Democratic Party's view is that strict gun control can reduce murders. It's actually a way for bad people to get sick and force good people to take medicine. In any society, there are many good people and few bad people, and the same is true of black communities, where good people make up the majority. Strict gun control laws strip the law-abiding of guns from their hands, but the bad guys are not affected.

The Gray incident led to a further deterioration of law and order in Baltimore...

A brief introduction to the Gray incident is that the Baltimore police found a black man named Freddie Gray acting suspiciously in a high-crime area, and Gray fled in a hurry when he found that the police noticed him. The police caught up with him and arrested him, and during the search, he was found to be carrying a switchblade, and when Gray resisted violently, six police officers forcibly escorted him into a police car.

Witnesses said the police acted rudely and recorded video.

In the police car, when the police checked and found that Gray was not in good condition, he was taken to the hospital half an hour later, and Gray died a week later...

And then the black people of the whole country rioted!

The Gray affair was considered by the media to be racist against black people, despite the fact that Gray himself was arrested several times for drug trafficking and had committed numerous crimes...

If this is in the Celestial Empire, it will be shot directly!

Margobi's, drug dealers...

But the white leftists think 'this is racism'!

Since the Gray incident, Baltimore police have stopped enforcing the law and will only be dispatched when they are called to the police. When handling cases, try not to mess with blacks so as not to be perceived as racist. When the police encounter a crime, they also try to avoid it as much as possible, and more is better than less...

Baltimore, literally become a crime city!

Tsk, Baltimore is the birthplace of the American national anthem, once had a glorious history, but now it has become the capital of crime, why? Under political correctness, who dares to really discuss and solve it?

Zhang Junsheng is very interested in this city!

He decided to make a trilogy, and he made it into a Chinese-language movie, and the title was "The Fall of a City"...

Then Tang Ningyu rushed in in a hurry, and the first sentence was: "Lu Chuan is crazy!"
