Chapter 173: The Hype Begins
Chen Xunqi is a legend!
is a rare all-rounder in the Hong Kong film industry, and he is also a strange person who has entered and exited the world, and wanders in a chic manner!
Brilliant talent!
When Fairy Zixia let go of the supreme treasure's hand, the song "Heaven and Earth Lonely Shadow Let Me Go", which burst out with spiritual light and heart-wrenching, I believe that 80% of the post-90s can hum it slipperily.
And he is very diligent, in the early 12 years of his debut as a movie soundtrack, he has won more than 70% of more than 300 film soundtracks in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles!
Huang Zhanxian died, Wu Ma waved goodbye, and Lin Zhengying, who was immortal, only left a crisp Peking Opera singing voice, and left the colorful world he loved forever.
Xiangjiang movies have been around for decades, and every national treasure left behind is worthy of our love, isn't it?
Even the soundtrack that Xu Hui found for "New Dragon Gate Inn" was him.
The effect is not bad, and it basically perfectly achieves the effect that Xu Hui wants.
Of course, saying it so beautifully can't change the fact that "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate" is a peerless bad movie!
Well, Chen Xunqi is the director of "Yang Men Female General's Military Order Like a Mountain"...
Casually intercept a little comment: 'The military order of the female general of the Yang Gate is like a mountain, you won, you completely defeated me, you have all the elements that a bad movie should have, the second fool Ren Xianqi, the frightened Zhang Baizhi, the widow with facial paralysis, amateur acting, scene scheduling in the fifties, and photography technology in the sixties. Although I only watched half of it, it still didn't prevent me from having the urge to poke the director's chrysanthemum with Yang Paifeng's burning stick. Negative points, roll rough!'
'Does the director think the audience is brain-dead?'
"The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate" can be called the most favorable contender for the bad movie of the year in 2011!
Sometimes, I really have to wonder what these Hong Kong legends are trying to do, is it just for money?
Well, maybe the master's pursuit is really different from ours!
By the way, Liu Zhenwei and his "East Becomes West 2011" are also catching up...
However, after this wave, few investors dare to find Chen Xunqi to film!
……
Xu Hui's attitude directly affected the world of Huiwen.
The boss didn't take the two opponents seriously, and the rest of the younger brothers were naturally relieved.
It is true that "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate" was released on the 18th, not to mention word of mouth, just the main creative lineup, it is difficult for people to have the idea of watching the movie, Chen Xunqi, Ren Xianqi, Zhang Baizhi, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a work with market appeal.
Ren Xianqi, as the main 'acting school' and 'idol school' in the Taiwan bend market in the last century, did not break 100 million at the highest box office of the movies he participated in, and people gave him the nickname 'box office poison', and there were still a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwan directors who rushed to ask him to be the starring role, until 11 years later, when mainland investors woke up, he ended his career as an actor side by side with big directors...
Zhang Baizhi is the same, 'Star Girl' debuted, cooperating with major directors all the way, "The Legend of Shu Mountain" even let Zhang Ziyi, who is already famous overseas, accompany her...
However, only after breaking up with the forced king, he took over four movies within a year, "Speed Angel", "Priceless Treasure", "Hedong Lion's Roar 2" and this "Yang Men Female General's Military Order Like a Mountain", which directly smashed the audience popularity accumulated over the years!
'Glamorous doors' don't work!
In the past few years, Zhang Baizhi's team has been busy doing public relations, and almost every year she uses "wash all the lead", it can be seen that she wants to wash all the lead and want to bloom again, but the reality is that there is no way to wash it all...
In 2017, Zhang Baizhi completely became a variety show, and even filmed a TV series...
The rivers and lakes are sinister, you must polish your eyes when picking works!
The audience is not stupid, nor is it garbage, after being deceived once or twice, it is impossible to trust you again!
In addition to winning 6 million box office on the first day of release, "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate" also triggered a new round of complaints - how bad can domestic movies be, in addition, no one is interested in it anymore.
An investment of nearly $20 million, in exchange for a box office result of less than 30 million...
……
As of November 23, "Hot Pot Hero", which has been released for half a month, has received a box office of 240 million, with an absolute small cost and high return!
In addition to the relatively low salary of the actors, it is more because "Hot Pot Hero" is a work with a realistic theme, and the advertising patch sold nearly 18 million, while its production cost is less than 20 million...
Huiwen World has launched two directors with a box office of more than 200 million in a row, except for Xu Hui, which is of great significance!
In terms of stock prices, the temporary fluctuations caused by the departure of a bunch of celebrities and artists immediately stabilized, and by the way, it also rose sharply.
The whole celebration must be made!
And I had to call the owners of several theaters.
"New Dragon Gate Inn" is scheduled for December 15, and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is scheduled for December 21.
Just a week apart, it seems that Zhang Weipin is not a fool, he knows that it is not good for anyone to be hard-hitting, so he simply separates it for a week...
Hehe, thinking too much!
At this time, Zhang Weipin, who brought "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", was in everyone's eyes!
"Zhang Weipin is crazy this time, not only to increase the minimum ticket price by five yuan, but also to adjust the proportion of the filmmaker's account sharing to the theater chain from 43% to 45%!"
Hearing Ye Xuan say the news, Xu Hui was stunned.
Zhang Weipin: Is this going to risk the world's disapproval?
Bringing blockbusters to theaters?
Do you really think of yourself as Cao Cao?
This kind of impact on industry rules has undoubtedly stepped on the most vulnerable nerve in the theater chain - interests.
After all, it is sad for the meat in your bowl to be taken by others, not to mention the huge investment in the local market by the major cinema groups in recent years, and many of them are counting on the Chinese New Year stalls to make some money.
Huiwen Cinema Line is a typical example of this!
After the listing, Huiwen Tianxia's investment in cinemas has not decreased at all, acquisition, renovation, and new construction are combined, and now Huiwen Cinemas is already one of the top five cinemas in the country, and the money spent here is not a small number...
Zhang Weipin's request to increase the proportion of account sharing of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is equivalent to cutting meat on the Huiwen Cinema Line!
"What do you guys think?"
Xu Hui rarely asked about the affairs of the theater, and basically handed it over to Ye Xuan to preside.
"Of course it's a boycott, if he starts here, what will he do in the future? The new picture will be 45 percent, what if tomorrow Huayi will be 50 percent? The Film Bureau will let us go to the film viewing meeting tomorrow, and then sit down and deal with the matter through negotiations!"
"Are you going with the cinema alliance?"
"Well..."
Xu Hui thought for a while: "It's okay, do what you want, if you think the movie is really exciting, let's make some profits, not that money!"
”… Mr. Xu, you may not fall yet, Zhang Weipin said, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will not be released in Huiwen Cinema!"
