Chapter 463
In addition to the May 1st "Iron Man 3" won 800 million box office, "To Our Dying Youth" released in Qingming won 719 million box office.
"To Youth" is Zhao Wei's debut as a director, a youth romance movie, which broke out in April, and some people even thought that if it was a 3D movie, it might be able to break through the billion mark.
"Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King", which was released in July, received a box office of 602 million and won the summer champion.
This is the second part of the Di Renjie series directed by Xu Ke, which is much better than the 300 million box office of the first part, and it is also the first time he has won the summer file championship, and it is also the lowest summer file champion at the box office in recent years.
"Huaxia Partner", which was released in mid-May, won a box office of 560 million, and a big piece of cake was bitten from the mouth of "Iron Man 3" on May 1st.
The director of "Huaxia Partner" is Chen Kexin, this is his first time in eight years to shoot a modern film, the conservative criticism of "Casting Names" and the messy "Martial Arts" also made him realize that the big scenes of ancient war scenes and costume martial arts dramas are not what he is good at, portraying the joys and sorrows, struggles or struggles of small people in the context of the big era, and integrating his own life experience into each story is his director's style.
Compared with other Xiangjiang directors who often have twenty or thirty or forty or fifty films, Chen Kexin is a relatively low-yielding one, who has only made 12 movies in more than 20 years, with an average of one movie every two years, and the amount is pitiful.
However, these twelve films made him win two Best Director at the Academy Awards, two Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards, one Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, and five Best Director trophies.
He is also a well-deserved actor and actress maker, and his directorial debut "A Tale of Two Cities" made his good friend Zeng Zhiwei for many years win the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Yuan Yongyi, who became a beautiful immortal back then, picked up a boy's head for her in "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves", and talked about a gender-obsessed love with Zhang Guorong in a rough voice, and by the way, Liu Jialing was fascinated. As a result, the heroic influence was well received, and Yuan Yongyi was also the queen of the Zhuang Academy Award in the second year of "New Love".
Later, in the classic "Sweet Honey", which was known as a Chinese romance film, Zhang Manyu in the play at that time had already lost baby fat, and at the end, he used a crying scene to dedicate textbook-like acting skills, only one step away from becoming a god, and won the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue.
Li Ming in this film was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, and won the first actor trophy in Chen Kexin's next horror movie "Three Watches: Coming Home".
"If Love" made Zhou Xun win the title of eleven actresses across the Taiwan Strait and three places for the first time in history.
In "Vote for Fame", Li Lianjie won the only Academy Award actor, which Cheng Long, who is also a kung fu superstar, did not get.
This year's "Huaxia Partner" also made Huang Xiaoming, whose acting skills have been criticized, win the Golden Rooster Award, the Hundred Flowers Award, and the Huabiao Award for Best Actor nominations.
The romance film "Beijing Meets Seattle" directed by newcomer female director Xue Xiaolu won a box office of 520 million.
The famous writer Guo Jingming's film of the same name based on the best-selling book he created won 480 million at the box office, and the second part released in August also won more than 200 million at the box office.
The action film "Heavenly Machine: Fuchun Mountain Residence" starring Liu Dehua won 300 million box office in June.
......
Although none of the box office exceeded 1 billion, there are more than 90 other movies that have exceeded 100 million at the box office, more than in the past two years combined.
And the total box office so far this year has been the same as last year, and in general, the domestic film market is still developing, although it is not like the previous two years, there were several films that broke one billion at every turn.
This year's Lunar New Year stalls not only have no blockbusters, but even costume films are very few, and the money is scarce, and this year's Lunar New Year stalls obviously did not make much noise. The directors seem to have suddenly had a tacit understanding not to travel back to ancient times, and they all started to shoot fashion films, and began to tell the stories of our people again.
The costume films that used to be piled up are gone, and "The Four Famous Catches 2" has become the only costume seedling in the Chinese New Year file. In addition, Feng Xiaogang returned to comedy, "Storm" destroyed Central, "Sweeping Drugs" bombed Thailand, Teng Huatao talked about literature and art again and fell in love with "Waiting for the Wind", this year's New Year file has no bows and arrows, swords and halberds and screams, only laughter, gunshots and kisses.
If you predict the big winner of this year's Chinese New Year, Chen Jiashang should be regarded as a seeded player. Because he suddenly found that no matter what the box office of "The Four Famous Catches 2" was, he had booked the throne of "No. 1 at the box office of costume films for the Chinese New Year in one or three years" in advance...
Costume action and martial arts have declined, because the trend has changed. There are not many people left in the Xiangjiang delegation who are keen on filming martial arts, Xu Ke's "Shendu Dragon King" went to the National Day file, Chen Kexin returned to "Chinese Partner", and Yuan Heping, Yu Rentai and other martial arts directors are left. In the mainland, Feng Xiaogang has already proved that he will not shoot ancient costumes with "Night Banquet"; Zhang Yimou broke up with a new party to seek stability and adapted "Lu Criminals"; there is still one Chen Kaige left, and the new film "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain" has just started filming, if you really want to watch it, wait for next year.
And then there is the rise of historical wars, myths, fantasy adventures, modern military genre films that require large investment, such films often require huge investment to produce decent effects, which is not something that ordinary people and companies can try.
So in addition to these genres, long-lasting comedies, as well as youth love, fashion films, etc., have become new choices for some small and medium-sized companies.
The success of films such as "To Youth", "Beijing Meets Seattle", and "Small Times" has also made many people see another way to success, and the medium cost can also be exchanged for high box office.
Everything is because of the "Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe" is set for the Chinese New Year, an unusual year, an unusual industry situation, and people with a keen sense of smell have noticed that this year will also end 2013 with an unusual ending.
There are no decent opponents in the whole process, 2 billion investment, 500 million publicity expenses, the audience's expectations, and the support of the theater chain, everything seems to be a matter of course.
Domestic filmmakers understand that as long as this "Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation" is not badly filmed, it will definitely be able to break the domestic box office record of 2.3 billion set by "Wolf Warrior".
No... It should be said that as long as it is not filmed into a piece of, it is almost a record-breaking, and I didn't see that "Night Banquet" and "Wuji", which couldn't tell the story clearly a few years ago, could win two or three billion box office, on what basis?
is the investment of more than 200 million or even 300 million, relying on the name of the blockbuster.
In that era when the cost of a movie was generally forty or fifty million, an investment of two or three hundred million was enough to attract the audience into the cinema.
Quantitative change can cause qualitative change, when the investment is high enough, there is no need for quality, no acting skills, the audience will be curious to walk into the cinema to see what kind of movie it is, even if it is a bad movie, to see what it can be rotten after spending so much money.
Two billion, the cost of the Bird's Nest, which took five years to build, is only 3.4 billion!
