Chapter 293: Don't be cowardly, just do it!
A time always passed inadvertently, and slowly came to March.
At this time, it is the off-season of the Chinese film market, even compared to September, which is the beginning of the school season.
There is no festival in March, and the nearest festival is only the Qingming Festival on April 4th, and the Spring Festival holiday has just passed, and people have begun to slowly enter the state of work for more than a month.
However, there are only three months before the summer vacation, and the domestic film market will not be too deserted during the three small long holidays of Qingming, May Day, and Dragon Boat Festival.
As one of the most important film schedules of the year, the summer file has always been the main battlefield for many companies to compete for, not to mention that the box office of last year's summer file exploded nearly 8 billion in two months, and the box office of a single film was as high as 2.3 billion.
Both the total box office and the overall trend are very attractive to the producers.
Although there are still some movies that have not been announced, there are several blockbusters that are known to be released in the summer.
"Crossfire" produced by Tengxun, "The Legend of Mortal Immortals" produced by Shengda, "Looking for the Dragon" filmed by Li Mu, "Painted Skin 2" by Huayi Brothers, and "Search" directed by Chen Kaige, "The Wind Listener" starring Liang Chaowei and Zhou Xun and other movies.
Judging from the film lineup, it is not inferior to several movies released last summer.
In May, "The Avengers" will bring many superheroes such as Captain Mi, Thor, Black Widow, and Iron Man to open the door to the Chinese film market.
There was only one Hollywood blockbuster in May this year, which is the opposite of last year's situation when three blockbusters were released at the same time.
This is probably because the people of the United States think that it is enough to bring together so many superheroes, and other film companies do not want to and have no confidence to compete with "The Avengers", so they simply postpone it.
July is the month of domestic film protection, Hollywood blockbusters are concentrated in August, "Titanic" 3D remake will land in the Chinese film market in early August, fifteen years ago the big ship intended to smash the Chinese film market to pieces again.
I have to say that the Hollywood producers are really shrewd enough to spend more than 10 million meters to change the movie to 3D, without paying any other costs, without wasting time, and even saving a lot of publicity costs.
After all, in this era, the production cost and publicity cost of a Hollywood blockbuster have reached two to one, which is equivalent to 100 million yuan spent on publicity for a movie with an investment of 200 million.
And the 3D version of "Titanic" can completely leave this money, with the popularity accumulated in the past fifteen years, they only need to let the audience know that there is such a movie, and they will naturally take the initiative to enter the cinema.
Besides, the plot of the modified version is similar to the original version, and most people have seen it, no matter how much you advertise it, it's just a super cold meal, and the gimmick still needs to be put on 3D.
In addition to the 3D version of "Titanic", there are also the famous adaptation of the movie of the same name "The Hunger Games", the animated film "Madagascar 3" produced by DreamWorks, the film "Prometheus" based on Western mythology, and "Spy 4" starring Matt Damon.
Oh... No, the actor in this movie has been replaced by Hawkeye Jeremy Renner, and I don't know what the producer thinks, the series of movies can also change the actor, and the most important thing in this movie is Dart Damon's acting skills, of course, the tense and complex plot is also a major feature of the movie, after all, not everyone likes to watch popcorn movies, this kind of movie that needs to stare at the big screen all the time and have a little brain is also very marketable, otherwise it would not have been filmed until the fourth part.
All five films are recorded to be released at the same time in August, and it is uncertain if any other films will be released by then.
But there's nothing to worry about, didn't you come over like this last year, don't just do it.
On March 16, Li Mu came to Qingyun Mountain, which is located at the intersection of Linglu Township, Yongtai County, Rongcheng City, Southern Fujian, and Hanjiang District, Putian City.
The crew of the movie "Zhu Xian" was filming here at this time, and Li Mu stopped by to take a look.
It's not that Li Mu has a lot of spare time, it's just that he just attended the Xiangjiang Film Awards Ceremony yesterday, and when he returned to the capital, he stopped by to take a look, and Xiangjiang is also very close to southern Fujian, just across the east of Guangdong.
In the 31st Xiangjiang Film Awards, which just passed yesterday, Li Mu returned home again.
Like the Golden Horse Awards, several films only won a few technical awards, but Nicholas Tse successfully won the Best Supporting Actor for his outstanding performance in "Wolf Warrior", which is also the only performance award for Li Mu's crew.
As for Best Director and Best Picture, there is no doubt that it was taken away by the biggest winner of the Golden Horse Awards, "Sister Peach".
At the same time, Xu Anhua once again achieved the feat of the Academy Awards Grand Slam with "Sister Peach", winning the four most important awards of the film festival, Best Film, Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress.
This is the second time she has won the Academy Award Grand Slam since she directed "Woman Forty" in 1996, and it is also the only two Grand Slam works of the Academy Awards.
In addition to "Sister Peach", Li Mu can be said to be the biggest winner.
"All the People Witness" won two awards: Best Editing and Best Newcomer.
"Wolf Warrior" won three awards: Best Action Design, Best Sound Effects, and Best Visual Effects.
It's good to win six of the nineteen awards in total, but it's a pity that the most important ones didn't get them.
In addition, the crime-themed movie "Death Gold" starring actor Liu Qingyun and Ren Xianqi won the best supporting actress.
The best screenplay was taken away by "Sister Peach".
The new director was taken away by Zeng Cuishan, the director of the movie "Big Blue Lagoon".
The best cross-strait Chinese film belongs to "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", which also set off a movie-watching frenzy in the Xiangjiang Film Market after the box office explosion of Baodao, breaking the box office record of Chinese films held by "Kung Fu" in Xiangjiang.
The best original film music was taken away by "Martial Arts", and the best original movie song was taken away by the movie "Cheating Woman".
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" won two awards: Best Art Direction and Best Costume.
"Martial Arts" won the best art direction.
Everything was expected, with the only exception being the original award-winning hit "Eavesdropping 2", which turned out to be nothing.
Nine nominations have been awarded, not to mention that this is still the only few films in the mainland in recent years that have a good reputation and box office double harvest, from the director to the main actors are all from Xiangjiang.
All this can only be attributed to being too unlucky to meet such a strong opponent as "Sister Peach".
