Chapter 42 Big Honey Honey Bun on the front bar
On June 27, "Painted Skin 2" premiered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the opening work of Huayi's big production in 2012, "Painted Skin 2" is finally about to be tested by the audience after going through various hardships!
With a total investment of nearly 120 million, plus publicity costs, "Painted Skin 2" can definitely afford the name of a big production!
Since it is a big production, of course, we have to invite big stars, Chen Kun, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun and other mainland first-line stars to play the starring roles, and then invited Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng, who were popular all over the country last year, to join, and also invited Fei Xiang - I don't understand about this!
After spending so much money, of course, you have to publicize it well.
A grand premiere on a scale is naturally indispensable.
There must also be a large number of guests invited.
Then, it was a little embarrassing, and of the three leading actors, only Chen Kun appeared.
What's even more unexpected is that Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng did not appear, and even Fei Xiang did not attend!
said that the seven leading actors, Chen Kun was left to sing a one-man show.
Shen Lin was originally going to take the time to hold a show, but the venue for the premiere was actually in Shudu, and in addition, Yang Mi was not there, so I didn't know what to say when I went.
Normally, the three leading actors of a movie can only come to the premiere, there must be something!
When "Painted Skin 2" was filmed, there were endless rumors about Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun being torn apart because of the position problem.
There is a saying in the circle that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and if you listen to something that feels very, it may be true!
This time, the premiere, neither of them came to attend, there must be something!
Afterwards, the filmmaker explained that Zhou Xun was unable to come because he went to Brazil to attend a United Nations environmental conference, while Zhao Yanzi had to prepare for the thesis defense and could not come.
What a far-fetched reason!
However, the release of "Painted Skin 2" did come at a good time.
"The Great Gold Robbery" was robbed by "The Avengers" a few days after its release.
"Veteran" was released, and "Men in Black 3" was the front, but fortunately, the quality of "Veteran" was hard enough!
What will it be like when "Painted Skin 2" is released? It has to deal with "The Hunger Games" (3 weeks), "Madagascar 3", which has been released for 4 weeks, and "Veteran" and "Men in Black 3" who have been released for 6 weeks, all of which are tired and close to going offline.
In the second and third weeks of the release of "Painted Skin 2", there are still no new Hollywood blockbusters released, which is equivalent to saying that "Painted Skin 2" has not suffered a head-on battle with "Hollywood" at all.
Even in order to 'dodge' "Painted Skin 2", "The Amazing Spider-Man" "took the initiative" to move to August 30.
Nima, why didn't we have so many good things when "Veteran" was released?
It's speechless!
"Painted Skin 2" is also quite angry, 13 days after its release, the box office exceeded 500 million, just when a group of viewers said that another movie that broke 1 billion was about to be born, "Painted Skin 2" suddenly fell wildly at the box office.
Because "To Youth" was released!
In addition, the reputation of "Painted Skin 2" is really bad, even if you get the key to extending the release, the box office results have reached 620 million, almost 200 million lower than the previous life, ranking among the top five domestic movies at the box office!
……
As for where the 200 million went, except for some of them that were taken away by "Veteran", which extended the release time, most of them were sucked away by "To Youth"!
On July 6, director Xu Jinglei's new work "Until Our Dying Youth" was released, with Shen Lin as the screenwriter.
These two points alone are enough to spark a movie-watching craze!
On the same day, "Dawudang Heaven and Earth Code" starring Da Mimi was released, well, Zhao Wenzhuo is also one of the leading actors!
There are many media with bad intentions who actually wrote in the report: 'Ex-girlfriend vs. current girlfriend!, who should Shen Lin support?'
it! It's clear that you're doing things!
Then, Shen Lin was very decisive in promoting "To Youth" on Weibo, not only verbally, but even in practice:
1: At the premiere of "To Youth", Shen Lin came to support, smiling and saying that he was very optimistic about Director Xu's skills, and even more optimistic about his girlfriend's screen debut;
2: "To Youth" variety show promotion, the choice is the tall "Happy Camp", in order to promote the movie and hype the topic, Shen Lin even cooperated with the buns on the scene to show off his wife's prestige over the phone;
3: "To Youth" Magic Capital publicity, Shen Lin made a surprise appearance and presented flowers to Zhao Liying, who was "full of faces";
The reason why I worked so hard is not only because I am also the screenwriter of "To Youth", or because of the movie in which Baozi played the heroine for the first time, but the most important thing is that Lao Xu's "To Youth" ran out of money in the later stage, and Shen Lin invested 15 million, which accounted for about one-third of the cost!
Anything that takes money will become very difficult to shirk!
Lao Xu made a phone call, and Shen Lin had to be touted in all kinds!
Of course, "To Youth" is not bad, at least not too much better than Zhao Yanzi's version!
Therefore, a director must not invest in his own movies at will!
Otherwise, your judgment will decline!
This is also the most fundamental reason why "Hong Kong" is not as good as "Thailand".
Also, "The Ferryman" is obviously rotten into a piece of, but the King of Sunglasses still supports it, nonsense, if he loses, it will be his money that will be lost!
Da Mimi's "Da Wudang" is so bad that Da Mimi didn't attend the premiere at all, all supported by Zhao Wenzhuo, who was supported by netizens some time ago.
originally thought that Zhao Wenzhuo would have a lot of fans, after all, when the 'special identity' incident broke out, 90% of netizens across the country 'strongly supported' Zhao Wenzhuo.
Then, "Da Wudang" swept the box office of 6 million nationwide on July 6!
Not to mention "Veteran", even the midnight box office of "Painted Skin 2" is higher than it!
What's even more frustrating is the audience reputation of the movie, which has plummeted all the way, with a score of 3.9!
In stark contrast, "To Youth", on the first day of release, won a first-day box office result of 59 million, directly driving "Painted Skin 2" off the box office champion.
The audience's reputation is also good, with a Douban score of 7.8.
Time.com also gave a rating of 8.2.
In the next four days, "To Youth" scored 61 million, 62 million, 58 million, and 51 million box office results respectively, and the cumulative box office reached 290 million in five days!
It's another movie that breaks 1 billion rhythms!
Many veterans in the industry are completely crazy, and they have said that they can't understand it, "Painted Skin 2" has a real cost of 120 million, all kinds of cool special effects, plus a psychedelic plot, why can't they do "To Youth", which costs only 40 million?
If you want to say that "Painted Skin 2" can't beat "Veteran", it's understandable, after all, Shen Lin, as a director, is indeed a bit too demonic!
But "To Youth" is different, the director is Lao Xu, the male protagonists are Wang Kai, Huang Lixing, Zhao Youting, Han Terrier, and the heroines are Zhao Liying and Wang Likun, not to mention the box office appeal!
just created a box office miracle!
Research and research, these recognize and conclude that the market for youth films is really coming?
