"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" got the key extension, but the Lunar New Year file is about to open, even if it gets the key extension, it will have little impact on the increase in the box office revenue of the movie, at most a few million.

For domestic films, the "Key Extension" is more like a certificate of honor, awarded to those films with good quality and strong box office performance.

In fact, on the third day of the movie's release, there was already a gun version on the Internet, and in the second week of its release, the high-definition version also appeared.

Fighting piracy is really not that easy!

Many people say that the protection of copyright in the United States is top-notch, but in fact, it is just like that, the number of daily views of people's BT websites is much greater than that of burning after reading...

The data shows that the United States is the most visited country for piracy, of course, mainly because many streaming platforms do not have copyright licenses...

Actually, it's also difficult for us, so many video sites, each with its own advantages, can't all sites contribute VIP, right?

That's too expensive!

If there is a software that can include all the copyrights, even if it is fifty yuan a month, I estimate that there will be many customers willing to choose!

China Mobile, why haven't you acted yet?

……

Pinnacle is not the only investor in "Life of Pi", the initiator of this project is called Jill Knight, a producer owned by Fox.

The initiation order of Hollywood A-level projects is generally that the producer finds a good project, then agrees with the filmmaker, and then finds the director.

The same goes for Life of Pi!

In fact, compared with Ma Xiaokang, Ang Lee is more like a pure director, and he will not casually invest in a film company!

Jill Nate, although not as good as the most awesome producers, he is also famous in Hollywood, producing "Weakness", "Marley and Me", "My Best Friend's Wedding", all of which are high-return movies, especially "Weakness", with an investment of $29 million, in exchange for a high box office of $255 million in North America and $400 million worldwide!

"Life of Pi" was published in 2001 and once ranked in the top 20 on the best-selling list in North America, so it was naturally noticed by many people, and Jill Nate certainly loved it!

After winning the film and television adaptation rights, he found a lot of directors, including John Lee Hankao, the director of "Weakness", but unfortunately he was not interested...

Then he found Ang Lee...

Of course, Ang Lee is a big director in Hollywood!

Even "Making Woodstock", which has a very bad view, has a box office of nearly $80 million in North America - the production cost is 30 million...

However, Twentieth Century Fox's perception of "Life of Pi" is not very good, mainly Ang Lee has messed up big projects, "Hulk" cost 137 million US dollars, and the global box office can exceed 100 million, and the box office is a fiasco!

So, what Gilnet asked for at first was a $60 million investment...

And then halfway through the shoot, the money is gone...

The peak was made up and 30 million was invested.

Yuehua also took out 30 million candidates...

……

By the way, let's talk about Ang Lee, a bunch of people say that he has been a housewife and man at home for six years, and then succeeded in one fell swoop!

Actually, this is not the case, Ang Lee's graduation work "The Dividing Line" won the first place in the class of New York University!

In order to shoot this graduation work, Ang Lee relied on part-time work, and his parents and wife sponsored more than one million Taiwan dollars.

His work was immediately signed by major brokerage companies after the graduation ceremony was played, and the road to the future seems to have been paved, and becoming a great director is just around the corner, which is not something that ordinary graduates can experience.

If you think about it, the outstanding graduates who have just graduated, won the first place in their works, and were rushed to sign a contract, are naturally a little arrogant, coupled with the praise of the people around them, I guess that Ang Lee must have encountered some opportunities that were not particularly good during this period, and they were all given up by him on his own initiative.

The first two years and so on are fine, but time is fleeting, and 6 years have passed after grinding, and no matter how arrogant the person's spirit is, it has been smoothed out, the so-called "killing", but that's it.

He is not a full-time housewife either, but this component has been unreasonably exaggerated by the media. Cooking with children is just his side job, and in the past 6 years, Ang Lee has gone out many times for a few months without going home, going to a friend's house to study the script with his friends.

When I wrote "Pushing Hands", I also spent my own money on research.

In fact, he has always had a job!

It's just that if you don't film, you don't have the money...

Then, by 1990, Ang Lee was on the verge of exhaustion.

If there was no script selection from the Taiwan Information Bureau at that time, or the opportunity to come to Ang Lee two years later, maybe Ang Lee would never have had a future from now on, and all kinds of chicken soup would have been missing a piece of material.

In addition, Ang Lee's original purpose in participating in this competition was just to get a prize money, and he didn't plan to make a movie at all. Even later, the Taiwan Information Bureau decided to invest money to make a movie for him, and Ang Lee hesitated because of the small investment, and was finally woken up by Hou Hsiao-hsien's words, so there was a "family trilogy".

Then, he was lucky enough to meet Ted Hope!

A producer who arranged Ang Lee's first five films!

It was also under his recommendation that "The Wedding Banquet" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, setting a copyright record of $31 million signed on the night of the award...

"Pushing Hands" undoubtedly has a good script and is interesting to explore. But it's immature in a lot of the filming process. The actor also acted a little weird.

But what makes Li Anniu is that in his subsequent "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating Men and Women", the progress of each movie is huge.

In "Sense and Sensibility", Ang Lee has worked with a professional Hollywood team, and the quality of the film has leaped a lot after that.

In each of these years, he has probably improved more than the previous six years combined.

I am disgusted that every time Ang Lee's new movie is released, the media has to take out the story of his six years at home and hype it up...

However, that's what Yuehua did...

I have to fry it!

How inspirational...

By the way, it was hyped up that Ang Lee was a young man, and only in this way could there be a strong contrast with his future achievements, and there would be drama.

Of course, in fact, his achievements in his youth can be described as talented.

Because of Ang Lee's modest, inward-looking, and unassuming personality, the media thought that he was a model of a foolish person who became a master through hard work. It's like a top student humbly saying to you, "Alas! In fact, he scored 95 points, and in his mind, if he didn't get a perfect score, he didn't do well. And the media only heard this sentence and spread the news, without carefully understanding the reasons behind it.

None of that matters!

How many people care about the truth?

You must have heard the story of Albert Einstein, who did poorly in math in elementary school and later studied hard to become the world's greatest physicist...

How bad was it? I only got 1 point in math...

What is the truth, the German test results are scored on a 6-point scale, with 1 being the full score and 6 being the lowest score.

Riding a horse, people got full marks, is it bad?

"Youth School" is about to open in the mainland, of course, it needs to be promoted, who can be promoted?

Except for Ang Lee!

Zhang Junsheng personally wrote an article about 'A Dream of Movies in Ten Years' - Master Ang Lee...

Yuehua's publicity team boasted about the effect of the movie - the mainland will be released one day later than North America, as for the reputation of Lao Mei, forget it, the IMDb score of "Youth Pi" is only 7.9 points, and it is only 6.6 points before the release, which is not as high as the score of "The Wind of Kings"...

Just catch the picture effect score!

Anyway, most viewers go to the cinema to see the effect!

On the first day of release, the theater gave 32% of the film schedule, and "Youth Pi" won 18.29 million on the first day...

This result is not very good, after all, the investment in "Life of Pi" is 120 million US dollars...

However, word of mouth is against the sky!

The Douban score was directly topped to 9.1 points!

The audience was frightened by the 3D effect, I really didn't expect that the original 3D picture could be so beautiful!

Uh, no contrast, no harm, the recent release of domestic 3D movies has made the audience a little irresistible to the real 3D.

"Five stars dedicated to the best 3D movie I've ever seen. Ang Lee himself said that making this movie was an impossible task, but he finally achieved it after four years of hard work. For the first time, I felt that 3D is an integral part of a film, and that the changing frame proportions, the alternating layers of editing, all for the sake of the story itself. ”

"This kind of production level is embarrassing to charge so much ticket price, what is the domestic "Snake 3D", how can you have the face to say that you are also 3D?"

The next day, the box office doubled directly, winning 28 million;

On the third day, 38 million...

On the fourth day, 39 million...

After four days of release, it won 120 million in the first weekend, and the word-of-mouth continued to go against the sky, it is obvious that this is a movie with a lot of stamina!
