Chapter 1027: Lunar New Year Stalls
"Weeping Blood Loulan" is a Chinese network, although it is very famous and has been selling very well recently, but it is still much worse than "The Mystery of the World", which is a bestseller in the United States and even in the entire Western world.
However, "Weeping Blood Loulan" is very popular with many film and television companies in China.
This kind of adventure theme is still promising.
In the end, it was won by Tianmeng at a high price! It is ironic to say that "Weeping Blood Loulan" is very popular in China, but even if it is won at a high price, it is not even a fraction of "The Mystery of the World"!
In Liang Si's view, what Tianmeng needs now is not a big project, but a project that can be hit.
And this "Weeping Blood Loulan" is undoubtedly a good choice, if James Qin is willing to take this movie, with his strength, I believe it will not be too difficult, and although "Mystery of the World Atlantis" is said to have failed, but if James Qin was not because of his brain pumping, in fact, the original "Mystery of the World Atlantis" would not have been a fiasco!
The investment of 200 million Chinese dollars in "Weeping Blood Loulan" is the biggest thing Liang Si can do at present.
After all, he is the CEO of Tianmeng Film and Television, if he can't even be such a master, then it is better not to be this CEO.
The investment of 200 million Chinese dollars is not high, but it is definitely not low, although it is converted into a knife, but it is more than 30 million, but it is definitely not a small production in China.
And James Qin, naturally, it is impossible to get the previous salary anymore, it was still a premium salary before, and now he does not have the salary as high as the qualification requirement.
Speaking of which, it is also ironic, even if James Qin is at this stage, although he can't get the same high salary as before, his salary is still higher than that of many top directors in China.
Time passed quickly, and the competition between "Mystery of the World Atlantis" and "The Martian" ended with Lin Xiao's victory again.
"The Martian" dominated the Lunar New Year stalls and won more than 3 billion at the box office, and "Atlantis, the Mystery of the World" started high and went low, and finally won nearly 1.5 billion at the box office.
And followed by the Spring Festival stalls, the smoke began to fill again!
This year's Chinese New Year file is okay, basically only the two blockbusters "The Martian" and "Atlantis, the Mystery of the World" compete with each other.
It's hard for the market to accommodate a third blockbuster!
But it was followed by a large gathering.
Well, in fact, the Lunar New Year file and the Spring Festival file are connected, and this stage itself is no less popular than the summer file.
The former king of the Lunar New Year stalls, comedy director Qin Gang, although he lost the title of the king of the Lunar New Year stalls, is still a hot director in China.
In fact, there are only a few directors who can be called big directors in China, and Qin Gang is one of them, because although he makes relatively down-to-earth comedy films, he is also a director who has almost never missed.
This year, Qin Gang fought again for the Chinese New Year, although the investment in the new film "With You Without Me" was only more than 50 million, but no one dared to underestimate it.
Because Qin Gang is not without a work that has counterattacked at a small cost.
"With You Without Me" is a modern urban comedy movie, or Qin Gang's style, down-to-earth.
Although it is difficult for such a movie to explode into a box office of billions, Qin Gang's movies have always had a very small reputation among the audience, so no one dares to underestimate them.
Then there is "The King of Guns" by Yang Hao, a great director of police and gangster films.
Yang Hao's strength is undoubted, in China, Yang Hao deserves to be the first person in police and gangster films.
His police and gangster films have become one of his business cards, and it is also a portrayal of his style!
"With You Without Me" is a film jointly invested by Tianxing and Qin Gang.
It is also one of the key projects of Tianxing this year, although the cost is not high, but in terms of publicity and distribution, Tianxing did not skimp on the publicity and distribution budget that exceeded the production cost!
If you want to say that domestic film and television companies and investors like to invest in directors the most, there is no doubt that Qin Gang is definitely one of them, he is different from other big directors, his films rarely have big productions, even if he is not short of investment at all, but he has always adhered to his own style.
According to Qin Gang's words, why spend a hundred yuan if you can spend one dollar?
Qin Gang's return on investment in the film is quite high, and the cost is maintained at a very low level, of course, Qin Gang's own salary is very high.
And every one of his films is brought into the group.
But Rao is like this, there are still many people who want to invest in his projects.
This time, Qin Gang introduced Tianxing's investment, on the one hand, because the two sides had a good cooperation before, and on the other hand, it was also because Qin Gang was an understanding person, and if his film wanted to be a blockbuster, it could not do without the support of the distribution company, and Tianxing was relatively good in this regard.
The investment in the "King of Guns" project is not too high, with an investment of 80 million, plus publicity, it is almost the same level as "With You Without Me".
And Director Yang Hao's reputation has long been established, but fortunately, the styles of the two are different, one is a comedy, and the other is a shootout movie.
Interestingly, "The King of Guns" is actually a project of Tianyu, a member of the previous Tianmeng.
It's just that now Tianyu was put on a stand by Tianmeng, and Tianmeng introduced Ahri and kicked Tianyu away.
Therefore, "The King of Guns" and "With You Without Me" were released on the same schedule, and they are also very eye-catching.
The grievances and hatreds behind the two films are naturally also a big publicity stunt.
However, the most powerful and anticipated part of this year's Spring Festival stalls is not "The King of Guns" and "With You Without Me", but the movies of the man on Hong Kong Island who is called the king of comedy by mainland audiences.
Ten years of sharpening a sword!
The former king of comedy is old, and the actor is no longer him, but he still has a very big influence in China.
Chen Xingxing, a man known as the king of comedy, with his ten-year sharpening movie "Beauty Like a Fish", also announced that the Spring Festival schedule will be set!
"Beauty Like a Fish" invested 300 million Chinese dollars, which is Chen Xingxing's largest investment film so far.
What is interesting is that the distribution company of "Beauty Like a Fish" is also a member of Tianmeng, distributed by Tianchen Film and Television.
And Ling Xiao Pavilion this year's Chinese New Year and Spring Festival files, except for Lin Xiao's own "The Martian", there are only two animated movies!
One is "Peppa Pig's Spring Festival Gala", which is a fan-oriented movie.
It is produced by Sanle Entertainment and distributed by Ling Xiao Ge.
There is also "Despicable Me", which is an original 3D animated movie!
The former has a low cost and is a fan-oriented animated movie, while the latter costs more than 50 million US dollars!
It is another masterpiece of Sanle Entertainment since "Kung Fu Panda"!
However, the interesting thing is that the industry is not too optimistic about these two films!
In other words, I don't think these two films can do much during the Spring Festival.
