Chapter 433 The third giant of Chinese films
will soon enter the official summer vacation schedule, and young students from both China and Xingqi are about to pour into the cinema in large numbers.
Whether it is North America or China, this year's summer season is full of blockbusters, and the competition is extremely cruel and fierce.
However, in the early publicity stage, "Country Teacher", which is highly anticipated by fans of Huaxia and Xingqi Country, has its own unique box office competitiveness.
Therefore, Chen Jing Film Company and Times Hua Na are very optimistic about the prospects of this movie.
According to analyst forecasts by Times War, the film's North American box office should be conservatively estimated to be at least $300 million, and the global box office is conservatively estimated to be more than $500 million.
To recoup the cost, it should not be a problem.
The only thing to worry about is how much money you can make.
The biggest variable now is the upcoming "X-Men: First Fight" on June 3 and "Thor" on June 10.
This is the most anticipated civil war between a pair of "Marvel superheroes" in this summer's file.
It is also predicted by North American film experts that the two movies that are most likely to win the box office champion in the summer file this time.
As for the DC Comics adaptation of "Green Lantern", it has been ignored by everyone.
In other words, starting from the release of "Country Teacher" on June 1, the intense summer vacation schedule has officially kicked off.
……
When "Infernal Affairs 3" achieved amazing box office results in China, "Country Teacher" will also be released in China.
As of May 31, "Infernal Affairs 3" was released in China for two full weeks, and it received an astonishing box office result of 970 million Huaxia coins.
Although the single-day box office at this time has dropped to a very low level, there should be no problem for the final box office to exceed 1 billion.
It's just that if you want to break the total box office record of 1.1 billion in "Infernal Affairs 2", it seems that it is basically impossible to achieve.
At the same time, in May, Chen Jing Film Company wholly acquired the Film Digital Technology Training Center under the Kyoto Film Academy for 100 million Chinese dollars.
Relying on this training center, Chen Jing Film Company established a Chinese animation studio.
The first phase invested as much as 160 million Chinese coins to shoot two animated films.
One is called "The Legend of Wukong" and the other is called "Kung Fu Panda".
For a time, the Chinese animation film industry was in an uproar.
Many media have commented that "Chen Jing Film Company once again expands the new frontier of production".
In the past two years, Chen Jing Film Company has invested in film digital technology training centers by building science fiction film shooting bases.
Continuously absorbing all kinds of film talents, while cultivating a domestic first-class director like Zhao Zexin, he has also cultivated a group of film special effects technical talents.
Nowadays, Peng Yichen has invented holographic projection equipment, and the later computer synthesis will be used less and less in live-action films.
But these computer-synthesized special effects technical talents are not useless.
In addition to assisting holographic projection equipment to produce realistic projection materials in the early stage, they can also shoot the most popular 3D animated feature films in the world today.
You know, CG animated movies are not for everyone.
Because of the long production cycle and extremely strict requirements for capital supply.
Domestic CG animation movies have always been synonymous with losing money.
Many film companies shoot animated films just to obtain relevant industrial subsidies from the state.
Therefore, when shooting, it is simply shoddy, and the audience can't watch the movie normally.
Not to mention a big success.
Not to mention China, even in Hollywood, not many people dare to touch CG animated movies.
At that time, Focks invested $75 million to make its own "Frozen Planet", but in the end it only earned $36 million at the global box office.
forced Foucus to disband his animation department directly, and there are still no plans to shoot a new animated film.
This is the saddest thing about CG animated films, and the audience has elusive tastes for appreciating this kind of movie.
Everyone knows "family, children, comedy", but even Di Shini, who started as an animate, has made animated films that have lost a lot.
Who else dares to say that they can grasp the taste of the animation audience?
So much so that at present, even Disney itself does not dare to make animated movies easily.
Instead, he focused on working with Pixar.
It's all about passing on the risk to small animation studios in case of serious losses.
So what confidence does the China Animation Studio established by Chen Jing Film Company have to dare to shoot two animated feature films in succession?
No matter what confidence they have, after the past 4 years, they have continuously achieved huge box office success in the Chinese film market.
Today, Chen Jing Film Company is the most profitable film production company in China every year.
What if the two CG animated films they shot were still a success after they were released?
Then in the animated feature film genre market of the Huaxia Film Market, Chen Jing Film Company can basically be regarded as a monopoly.
At that time, Chen Jing Film Company can basically shoot all kinds of types of movies, and it also has the cinema support of Huimin Film and Television Group behind it, no matter from what point of view, this company can be regarded as the third film giant in the Chinese film market in addition to CCTV Group and Huimin Film and Television Group.
Of course, for other Chinese film companies, it is not a pleasant thing for another giant to stand on their heads.
They can only watch from the sidelines, after all, now Chen Jing Film Company has opened up the channel of North American film distribution!
Their profitability has far exceeded the imagination of ordinary Huaxia film production companies.
No matter what the outside world thinks, Chen Jing Film Company's film production plan has started in an orderly manner.
According to the production plan of China Animation Studio, "The Legend of Wukong" should not be completed until tomorrow in July.
Kung Fu Panda is likely to take a little more time to make, and it won't be completed until December next year.
At the same time, Chen Jing Film Company announced that it would invest in the filming of a red classic "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", directed by Xu Ke and Xu Laowei, a strange talent in Xiangjiang. It is expected to be able to meet the audience by the end of this year.
For a time, the momentum of Chenjing Film Company was unparalleled in the entire Chinese film circle.
Seeing that becoming the third giant of Chinese films is about to become a reality.
……
Just when the Chinese film circle was discussing whether Chen Jing Film Company could become the third giant of Chinese films.
On the side of the Star Flag Country, Peng Yichen was also busy.
As the release date of "Country Teacher" approaches, the media of Xingqi Country are discussing more and more about Peng Yichen and his future filming plans.
Many fans and film professionals in the Star Flag Country are questioning that Peng Yichen has been making commercial films since he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
When he was on the Oscar stage, he announced that he was going to win the main Oscar award, but it didn't count in the end.
Robinoff even personally found Peng Yichen in his villa in Beverly Hills for this matter, and asked him if he had any plans to shoot a "Chong Olympics" movie this year.
"Chong Ao movie?" Peng Yichen frowned, he didn't like this statement very much, in his opinion, in addition to winning the love of most audiences, the most important thing in making a movie is to express his thoughts and performances.
If you shoot a movie just to hit the Oscars, it will be difficult to create an excellent film work.
However, he has indeed made too many commercial films in the past two years, and the idea of making a movie with more connotation and thought has actually been brewing in his heart for a long time.
