The next morning, the news of the launch of Century Film and Television City was like snowflakes, scattered in newsstands across the country, causing a lot of discussion among the public.

Overseas media have also made a big report, but unlike the enthusiasm of the domestic media, there are many voices of decline. The Los Angeles Times said: "At present, many regions around the world are vying for the favor of Hollywood producers, and in order to attract film shooting and production, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and other countries have provided more favorable subsidy policies than Hollywood. It is very difficult to attract Hollywood studios by relying on the film and television base alone. Without tax incentives, it would be difficult to attract them, even if the shooting hardware was advanced. ”

The Wall Street Journal questioned the investment in Century Film Metropolis: "The cultural industry is very slow to recycle, and even Disney theme parks take seven years to pay for themselves. The entire project of Century Shadow Capital claims to have an investment of 200 billion, and there must be an element of boasting in it, but 100 billion should be there, how can Century Peak ensure investment returns?"

Netizens don't care about the income of the film and television base, let alone the film industry, the focus of everyone's discussion is mainly on two points, one is how much money Zhang Ran has, how much assets; the second is that Zhang Ran announced that after the completion of the first phase of the project, there will be more than ten Hollywood movies to the base every year for shooting, does this mean that Hollywood stars can often be seen in Lin'an in the future?

After lunch, Zhang Ran was resting in the hotel when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Jingchu. Zhang Jingchu was busy with the preparation of the movie "All the Nights in the World" recently, and she was so busy that she didn't come to attend the launching ceremony. After connecting the phone, he heard Zhang Jingchu giggling and saying, "Local tyrant, let's be friends!"

The generosity of the launching ceremony of the Century Film Capital shocked countless netizens, among which a netizen named Sister was particularly excited and ran to Zhang Ran's Weibo to leave a message: "Local tyrant, let's be friends." Sister was the most beautiful was originally a joke, but after she left a message, many netizens lined up and left messages on Zhang Ran's Weibo, "Local tyrants, let's be friends", and in less than a few hours, tens of thousands of pieces were swiped, and "Local tyrants, let's be friends" was directly swiped on Weibo's hot search.

Zhang Ran suddenly said angrily: "You can call me a trench, but please don't call me a tyrant!"

Zhang Jingchu smiled: "I see that Honghao often talks about you on the Internet, saying that you don't understand fashion!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said: "As far as her aesthetics in the eighties are concerned, she is embarrassed to talk about other people's soil, she obviously wants to touch me, coveting a handsome guy like me, hum, this handsome guy is not fooled by her!"

Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but say: "You narcissist! You are dozens of years old, and you still call yourself a handsome little guy!"

After teasing each other a few more words, Zhang Ran asked, "How is the preparation of the movie?"

Zhang Jingchu said with a smile: "With Sister Feihong's help, and the crew are all acquaintances, everything is going well, and it should be able to start on time in March!"

Zhang Ran originally wanted to give suggestions to Zhang Jingchu's film and check it, but Zhang Jingchu resolutely refused to let it go, insisting on relying on her own strength to complete the work, Zhang Ran also felt that it was good to have this idea, and supported her very much, but at this moment he still suggested: "Don't be too ambitious in the first movie, don't pursue stylized lens language too much, just tell the story well and thoroughly!"

Zhang Jingchu said: "You have said it many times, it's too long-winded!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said: "No way, be a professional habit left by a teacher!" After speaking, he remembered one thing: "By the way, the premiere of "One Person's Lantern" on the 10th, you are the heroine, you have to prepare well, don't go out of the basket!"

In fact, entering December is the annual Lunar New Year, which is the most tragic period of the annual fighting in China, and it can be said that the annual Lunar New Year stall is a war. For domestic small films, they often dare not carry out the New Year files, which means that they have become cannon fodder for blockbusters, but everyone wants to touch the light of the New Year files, so it has caused the situation that the films are piled up at the end of November.

It's just that this year's situation is different from previous years, the Hollywood blockbuster "2012" released on November 13 has amazing visual effects, plus the movie is Chinese who save the world, the audience feels particularly cool, so the movie box office exploded.

As a result, many small films were forced to suffer, and one race was miserable.

The director of "Mars is Fine" is Liu Yiwei, Liu Yiwei is good as a cook, but he is really not good as a director, and he has almost never made qualified works. This movie is still a failing work, but with a good star lineup, the movie received 4.6 million in the first week, plus many advertising placements, and finally barely recovered the cost.

Wang Yuelun unexpectedly achieved a box office of nearly 60 million in the summer of 08 with a tattered "Ten Perfect", becoming a dark horse in the summer file. The success of "Ten Perfect" made Wang Yuelun think that he had caught the pulse of the audience, and made a comeback with "Panda Hero", which is also a spoof comedy, and boasted that Haikou would exceed 100 million, but was slapped hard by the audience, only more than 20 million yuan was earned, and the box office failed miserably!

Compared with "Mars is Okay" and "Ten Perfect", starring Hu Jun, Jiang Wu, Li Liqun and others, and "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" created by newcomer director Yang Shupeng is a passing work. However, there are only two points, as a director, Yang Shupeng is obviously incapacitated, and the rhythm of the movie is not grasped at all, and the editing problem is especially obvious and chaotic. If you change to a mature director, such as Jiang Wen, the effect of the movie will be much better. "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" is the first time Hu Jun has invested in filming as a producer, and the box office of 3.43 million in the first week of the movie is obviously lost.

After Zhang Ran heard that "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" failed at the box office, he sent a message to Hu Jun to comfort him.

At the end of November, the only one that was considered to be able to compete with "2012" was the costume giant "Mulan", which was also the first Chinese-language blockbuster in the Chinese New Year. Mulan's story is familiar to Chinese, and anyone who catches someone can hum a sentence "Brother Liu's speech is too biased." Since the 1998 Disney animated film "Mulan", this classic legend has been a popular theme that many filmmakers in the Chinese film industry want to complete, and even Zhang Ziyi has played Mulan's idea.

Eleven years later, the Chinese finally put Mulan's classic story on the big screen, gathering a strong creative lineup, two popular and idol stars Zhao Wei and Chen Kun as the protagonists, actor Hu Jun as the villain, the most eye-catching selling point of the movie is: "Chinese's own "Mulan"".

It's just that I don't know what investors think, but they would find a director from Xiangjiang to direct this kind of historical theme, and the director is Ma Chucheng, who mainly shoots romantic films and action movies such as "Star Wish", "Tokyo Raiders", and "Hancheng Raiders".

Zhang Fengyi once bluntly said after filming "Red Cliff": "Xiangjiang directors are more frivolous, they will not put the restoration of history in the first place, and there are more components to do as they like." Originally, the character should serve history, and the actor should serve the character. And the director of Xiangjiang turned upside down, becoming history to serve the role, and the role to serve the actor. ”

In the past two years, anti-Japanese dramas have begun to proliferate, and many people are scolding these dramas for insulting history, but everyone doesn't know that most of these dramas are filmed by Hong Kong and Taiwan directors. Mainland audiences attach great importance to history, because history can be said to be the belief of Chinese, but Hong Kong and Taiwan directors do not particularly care about restoring history, they pursue commercial effects, and handle stories more casually, so it is easy to have problems when making historical films.

The same is true of "Mulan", which was made into a bloody drama by Ma Chucheng, and you can't see half of Mulan's shadow in "Mulanci" in the movie. However, with the theme of Mulan and a strong star lineup, "Mulan" still achieved a box office of more than 30 million in three days over the weekend. Such an achievement can only be said to be a failure for a large production with an investment of nearly 100 million yuan, and it will definitely be a loss.

On December 2, the movie "Love" was released nationwide, which is Zhang Yimou's third work that won the Golden Lion Award, and is known as the biggest hit of this year's Oscar foreign language films, which attracted great attention before its release.

At the premiere, Zhang Yimou revealed that the construction of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is actively underway. Zhang Weiping said even more domineeringly: ""The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has planned to invite Hollywood first-line male stars, including Brad Pitt, to join!"

After the official release of "Love", both the media and the audience received rave reviews, claiming that this is Zhang Yimou's return work, and some media even exclaimed: "Zhang Yimou finally found himself after ten years of detours!"

With a good reputation and Zhang Yimou's appeal, "Love" achieved a box office of 21.35 million in the first three days, which is quite good for a small-budget literary film;

For the vast majority of media, the most anticipated film in this year's Chinese New Year file will be released next week, and the three upcoming Chinese-language blockbusters will stage a peak showdown. Directed by Zhang Ran and starring Li Xuejian and Zhang Jingchu, "One Man Shines Brightly", directed by Zhu Yanping and starring Jay Chou and Lin Chiling, "Thorn Tomb", and the sequel to the sensational special effects blockbuster "Fengyun 2" ten years ago.

Among the three films, the most concerned is undoubtedly Zhang Ran's "One Man Lights Up the Light", which is Zhang Ran's first film after the Olympic Games, and it is also Zhang Ran's return work two years after the release of "Tangshan Earthquake".

"Thorn Tomb" and "Fengyun 2" also knew that Zhang Ran came with the power of the Olympics and it was difficult to match him, so they rushed to stage it the day before "One Man Puts on the Lights", wanting to seize the market opportunity.

The biggest selling point of "Thorn Tomb" is the gathering of superstars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Jay Chou and Lin Chiling attract young fans, Chen Daoming and Sowers focus on adult movie-watching groups; coupled with the strong support of China Film, it achieved a box office of nearly 9 million on the first day;

"Fengyun 2", which was released on the same day, featured stars and special effects cards, with a star lineup such as Aaron Kwok and Ekin Cheng plus 70 minutes of stunts, known as an audio-visual blockbuster that is not inferior to Hollywood, attracting many audiences, and the box office exceeded 8 million on the first day;

The word-of-mouth of Chinese New Year blockbusters collapsed one after another, and the box office performance was mediocre, so the disappointed fans pinned their hopes on "One Person's Lights"!
