Chapter 968: My head has been blowing up a bit lately
PS: I can't remember the title, my head has been a little fried lately
Chapter 968
Jiang Xia is here to prepare everything for the concert.
On the other hand, his three films are also ready to be painted.
"Falling 2" lived up to the name of a blockbuster, earning $900 million worldwide, $100 million higher than the first part of "Falling".
The box office champion of the summer file, "Falling 2" deserves it.
Another movie released globally, "Superstar Alien", is also gratifying at the box office than the first "Superstar Heartthrob", with a global box office of $380 million, which seems to have returned to its original cost, which makes many people in Layton Motion cheer together, because according to this trend, the "Superstar" series is going to turn over, and maybe it can become a famous series?
The employees of Layton Motion Pictures are excited to devote themselves to the next work and are working on the third episode of the "Superstar" series.
Jiang Xia's last movie "Disciple", compared with the first two movies, the box office can really be said to be mediocre.
When "Falling 2" was released in China, it has always dominated the top of the Chinese box office, and the only thing that can impact it is "Disciple", but "Disciple" only had a certain impact on it in the early days of its release, and it was quickly thrown away.
This is a movie that is not very popular, everyone who has seen it says it is good, but few people watch it a second time.
So, less than a week after its release, the box office of "Disciple" dropped dramatically.
Unlike "Falling 2", which finally closed at 2.3 billion, the final box office of "Disciple" was only a little more than 600 million, which was only 100 million more than "Superstar Alien".
Since Jiang Xia's "The City is Full of Golden Armor", Jiangxia's domestic movies have not been very high at the box office.
No one believes that Jiang Xia can't make movies, on the contrary, everyone can see Jiang Xia's progress.
It can only be said that Jiangxia did not make commercial films, let alone commercial blockbusters, which led to the current situation, and the box office is not high.
With a "City Full of Golden Armor", "Chainsaw", and "The Hangover", if anyone says that Jiangxia will not make commercial films to make money, it is a brain-dead statement.
Now everyone is curious, is Jiang Xia's last movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" in Hengying a commercial film that wants to be a big hit, or is it a pure love film that completes the contract perfunctorily?
His song "Long Time No See", you can see the shadow of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", in the MV, Jiang Xia himself appeared, but not for long.
The entire MV is launched by Hengying, editing those lovelorn stories, and the text describes their lovelorn time.
There is no voice, just a plain picture and text description.
In the MV of the song, Jiang Xia's signature is not Jiang Xia, but Wang Yiyang, who also plays Wang Xiaobei and writes the story of broken love, and the other starring Zhang Quan also appears in the name of Huang Xiaoxian.
The footage of the two people is not long, only three or five seconds.
A song with more than three points, just relying on the pictures of so many people, can't stand up. Therefore, in the song, there is also a part of the plot of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", in fact, this part is also the main one.
In the form of songs to promote the movie, Jiangxia's "Golden Armor" and "Chrysanthemum Terrace" did quite well, without the front station of the two songs, "The City Full of Golden Armor" would not have exploded at the box office and won the box office championship in one fell swoop.
"Long Time No See" is such a soft love song, which can make many people cry, and it took three weeks to sit firmly in the first position on the hot song list, and it took three weeks to be squeezed out.
In Jiang Xia's own song ranking, "Long Time No See" also rose rapidly, and in three weeks, it was squeezed into the top ten.
In addition to "Long Time No See", the new book "Breaking the Sky" published in the same period also achieved good results.
Jiangxia has a manuscript in stock, and the number of updates can keep up, which has led to very good results, and it looks like it was killing all sides on the list at the beginning.
However, there are also many old book fans who don't buy it, the text is a little shallow, the plot is a bit cliché, and they are all criticizing the voice of "Breaking the Sky".
Jiang Xia didn't explain anything, he had already said that in this era of fantasy development for so many years, the plot of "Breaking the Sky" has been quite vulgar, and the only commendable thing is that it is particularly in line with the rhythm of the online text. It is definitely a standard fantasy online literary work, without a trace of traditional works.
Some netizens found that it seems that since the beginning of this year, Jiang Xia's works have been a little weak, I don't know if it is the reason after returning to China, or the reason for the lawsuit with CCTV at the beginning of the year, anyway, Jiang Xia's works are not as popular as imagined.
Jiang Xia was quite satisfied with his work, so when he chose "Breaking the Sky" to write, he was a little unhappy, half forced and half helpless to choose, and everything else was in line with his own wishes.
However, now Jiang Xia has a headache.
Before the new song was finished, You Fangfei asked him to make a movie with a script.
The funds given are five million, only five million!
Five million, what kind of movies can be made in China now?
None of the several scripts he had prepared before could be won for five million, so he had to rethink the script.
For the first time, Jiang Xia ruled out costume films and action movies, and it was impossible to shoot them with five million, which was not scientific.
Eyes are on the urban fashion drama again, Jiang Xia regrets giving "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" to Hengying, otherwise, save a little, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" will definitely be able to take down five million, but now he doesn't know what to shoot.
Some movies are really small-budget, such as "Crazy Stone", which is simply a model of small-budget movies, and a movie has made several actors popular, absolutely good movies.
But Jiang Xia thought about it, he couldn't shoot.
Because he can't find those actors, under the celebrity list, it is too difficult and difficult to dig out an actor who is not young and powerful, let alone digging up a group of actors, which is unrealistic. Anyone with a little strength has a ranking on the celebrity list, at least it has to be a fourth-tier, and the price of the fourth-tier is something he can't afford with five million.
Jiang Xia has to find the kind of movie with few actors, and preferably a movie with few scenes, so that he can spend the five million on the blade.
"It's a real problem for me. Jiang Xia scratched his head in the office.
When he got home in the evening, Jiang Xia was still saying to You Fangfei: "You made a movie with 5 million, it was okay ten years ago, but now the price, just hire an actor, and if you have two scenes, you have to finish it." ”
"That's why I let you shoot, it seems that you have a level. You Fangfei said, "What do you think?"
"No clue. Jiang Xia said, "Not only is there no clue about this, but there is also no clue about the new song." ”
You Fangfei said: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry." Your English album, I'm afraid we'll have to drag it out, and now we don't have the money to promote it for you, so we can't promote it, so why don't you wait?"
"It's okay, just get the accompaniment out, record it first, and then talk about when it's promoted. Jiang Xia said.
