Chapter 372: Spring Festival Stalls
The time gradually came to January 2014, the tail of the Chinese New Year stalls.
No, it should be changed to a Spring Festival stall now.
Since "Journey to the West" won a box office of 1.2 billion during the Spring Festival last year, the Spring Festival stalls have become an excellent schedule comparable to the Lunar New Year stalls.
This year, many movies have been moved to the Spring Festival file, such as "Havoc in Heaven".
In the just-concluded Lunar New Year file, "Private Custom" won the 2013 New Year file, and ranked third in the annual box office list, second only to "Journey to the West" with 1.2 billion and "To Our Dying Youth" with 719 million.
This time, Feng Xiaogang stopped wasting after the failure of "1942", and Hua Yi didn't dare to let him continue to wave, so he had this film with old wine in a new bottle, which is equivalent to a remake of the previous movie, which is handy.
718 million, which is also Feng Xiaogang's personal best, it turns out that his comedy is what the audience likes to watch the most.
"Police Story 2013" won the runner-up in the Chinese New Year file with a score of 5.36, and the "Police Story" series is still Cheng Long's trump card.
Although there is a conservative heroine in it...
The police film "Storm" starring Liu Dehua got off to a hot start, winning 33 million on the first day and 165 million in the first weekend, but the follow-up was weak, and the total box office was only 315 million.
After several twists and turns, the western road movie "No Man's Land" was applauded and acclaimed, with 32% of the film schedule on the first day and 50% of the box office on the first day, 24 million on the first day.
Restricted by the type of film, the total box office is only 260 million, but it also made China Film make a lot of money and was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival.
And Zhang Yimou's new film "Return", a regular in the Chinese New Year stalls, will not be released until April next year, but the new film of the new Mou girl Ni Ni, the road romance film "Waiting for the Wind to Come" also won nearly 90 million box office.
......
On January 30, the world premiere of "Havoc in Heaven" was held in the Beijing Gongti.
Also premiered on the same day was "Macau Vice" starring Fa Ge, the parent-child movie "Where Did Dad Go", and "The Ex Raiders".
From the establishment of the project to the release, "Havoc in Heaven" has always attracted the attention of people in the circle.
For the audience, this is the childhood memory of many people, and the image of the Monkey King has been deeply imprinted in their minds, and they are very much looking forward to what kind of image the Monkey King is on the big screen.
Although the crew has released several posters and trailers before, the simple and active Monkey King, the Jade Emperor with golden armor and domineering side leakage, and the Bull Demon King with two horns on his head.
But the publicity surfaces of less than two minutes can't let the audience understand what this movie is like, at most they can see the magnificent special effects.
The special effects made by more than 20 million meters are naturally not too bad, at least Liu Dong feels much better than the original after watching the sample film.
But the plot is still the biggest flaw, and this one is unsolvable.
And the special Zheng Baorui didn't even read the original book of "Journey to the West" before making this movie, and he made up for it a few times after he decided to direct it.
Anyway, it's a matter of fate, no matter how bad it is, it's not worse than the original.
In fact, compared to the audience, the executives of major companies are staring at this movie all the time.
Once it is a box office success, it will open a new door for them, a whole new category for them to choose from.
"Journey to the West" is not only a story of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", but also three dozen white bone spirits, red children, and daughter countries are all familiar stories to people.
It is foreseeable that a wave of westward travel boom is about to begin.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Dong and Liu Shishi rushed to the workers' gymnasium, and as soon as they stopped the car, a large group of reporters frantically surrounded them before they could open it.
However, it was useless, a team of professional bodyguards immediately formed a strong wall and firmly blocked them out.
"Hello everyone!"
Liu Dong got out of the car and waved at them, ignoring their shouts, and walked onto the red carpet with Master Liu in his arms.
The fans next to him were also crazy, desperately shouting Liu Dong's name, holding up the light sign in his hand, hoping to attract Liu Dong's attention. ,
However, they were separated by the twice-pulled barrier and the security guards guarding them.
Liu Dong and Liu Shishi will also stop to greet fans and sign autographs while walking, people spend money to watch movies, and they can't ignore them like those reporters.
Some celebrities just deliberately make a cold look, but his fans are still "idols abuse me thousands of times, I treat idols like my first love", completely Shi Lezhi.
It took 20 minutes to walk the red carpet, and after a cursory glance at the gymnasium, almost all the famous people in the entertainment industry have arrived.
"Wang Dong, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong stepped forward to say hello to Wang Haifeng, chairman of Xinghao, and Li Zhenye, president of Poly Media.
Li Zhenye is Li Manyuan's father, transferred from the Development Department of the Real Estate Department.
Poly has integrated its cultural, media and other resources, and relying on Poly Group's real estate industry all over the country, it has quickly become a major giant in the domestic film and television industry, with business covering film and television production, publicity and distribution, and cinema lines.
Poly basically has industries in every city, and the number of screens is also expanding rapidly, plus the original Poly Wanhe Cinema Line, which has now accounted for 6% of the number of domestic screens, is the top five large-scale cinema chains in China, second only to Dadi, China Film Digital, and Wanda, which was approached by Chairman Xinghao for cooperation.
"Liu Dong is here, you are the protagonist tonight!" Wang Haifeng beckoned to him.
"Wang Dong's words are wrong, the protagonist is Sun Wukong!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"As long as you play well, won't Sun Wukong be you in the future!" Li Zhenye said.
After chatting for a while, Liu Dong said hello to the guests who came to attend the premiere, after all, he is also the host.
After a lap, the premiere was about to start, and as the employees outside came in to remind them, everyone walked out to the infield of the gymnasium.
At this time, the seats in the infield have been arranged, and there are people around to maintain order.
There are huge posters around, both group photos and solo photos, and Liu Dong, Zhou Yunfa and Guo Fucheng are the most.
The fan teams are distinct, each holding a luminous board with the name of their idol and shouting loudly.
Chen Qiaoen's fan team even made several giant banana fans and printed her photos on them.
Or is it cartoon......
When Zheng Baorui brought Liu Dong, Zhou Yanfa, Guo Fucheng, Chen Qiaoen, Yang Mi, He Yandong and others into the venue in turn, the audience in the venue gave the highest cheers for their idols.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening!"
"Welcome everyone to attend the premiere of the oriental mythological blockbuster "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" on the occasion of the New Year!"
"Let's welcome the creators of the film!"
"Director, Zheng Baorui!"
