Chapter 577: Lunar New Year Stalls: The First Smoke of Gunpowder

The bearded Wu Jing smiled and said, "Yo, the boss is here." ”

"Please call me Director He."

"That's a good relationship, now we're at the same level."

He Mu's congratulations are because Wu Jing has now been appointed by Ning Hao as the action director of "Big Card" and has become one of the members of the director team of the crew. The so-called action director is actually an upgraded version of the action director, but it is not just to direct the action, the crew has a special and well-known action director, and Wu Jing, the action director, also has some director functions, in some areas that Ning Hao is not good at, Wu Jing will give his professional advice.

The appointment of Wu Jing as an action director is by no means idle and boring, Wu Jing does have the talent to be a director and has experience in this area, which happens to complement Ning Hao to a certain extent.

As early as 08 years, Wu Jing has joined forces with Li Zhongzhi, a well-known martial arts instructor in the family class, to complete their directorial debut "Wolf Teeth", although this small-budget action film has a general box office and a good reputation, but it is by no means without merit, Wu Jing, who is a director for the first time, has put his imagination on action movies into this experimental small-budget film, of course, his good skills have been shown in an all-round way again, becoming a highlight of the film.

In terms of talent for designing movements, Wu Jing may not be as good as Zhen Zidan, but his audience popularity is very good, and there is no reputation in the industry, what he lacks is just an opportunity, an opportunity to show his action talent, and "Big Card" is this opportunity. If such a luxurious lineup and such a huge investment still can't make him a first-line star like Zhen Zidan, then the director is one of his retreats. Compared with Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing is more interested in directing, and he has always wanted to shoot some whimsical ideas in his head. It's just that his talent is not high, and his acquired learning is not enough.

For being the martial arts director of "Da Ka", Wu Jing has a learning mentality, Ning Hao's directorial talent and skills are obvious to all in the circle, and being able to work with him is of great benefit to his learning, of course, they also learn from each other. Ning Hao can also learn from Wu Jing the action scene shooting that he was not involved much in before, and Wu Jing has a lot of experience in this regard.

He Mu's scene is only very short, before the start of filming. Huang Bo, Wu Jing and He Mu put on makeup together, listening to Huang Bo calling Wu Jing as Brother Jing, He Mu was really awkward, but he couldn't say anything yet. Who made Wu Jing really older than Huang Bo. Although Wu Jing is a few months older than Huang Bo, he feels as if he is more than ten years younger than him, and He Mu, who is really more than ten years younger than Wu Jing, looks a little more mature than him, and sure enough, the baby face is an invincible existence, even if Wu Jing has a scruffy beard, he still looks too immature.

After leaving the crew of "Big Card", He Mu returned to the capital and came to the crew of "Northern Love" to visit and guide. Chen Sicheng's directorial debut has just started. Recently, because of the breakup with his girlfriend Cao Xiwen, and the first time he was a director, he had a pretty good lineup. Chen Sicheng, who has never had much topic, frequently appears in entertainment news, and I don't know if Lu Dao is a sign that he is about to become popular. The play is invested by Tiger Wolf Film and Television, starring many popular stars involving Tiger Wolf and Huayi, as well as friends in the circle like Yang Mi to help. Seeing Director Chen's appearance in directing the filming of the first scene, He Mu was relieved, and his recommendation to Xiao Fang should be wise.

The time is about to enter December, and "Cold Heart" will receive another 23 million in the mainland, with a total box office of 278 million, and there is still more than 20 million to break through 300 million, but after all, it has been released for a month, and the general movie should be painted at this time, "Cold Heart" has performed well and can be postponed, but the box office will definitely be very small, and it is still unknown whether it can break through 300 million, which depends on the performance of the next few Chinese New Year blockbusters.

Entering December, the film market is also officially entering the New Year schedule, the first shot of the New Year is starring Xiao Shenyang and the big beauty Lin Xilei, who became the fastest popular in 2010, and the martial arts comedy "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu" directed by Zhu Yanping, director of Taiwan Bend, the film is jointly invested and produced by Bona Film and Television, Poly Huayi, Benshan Media, Yanping Pictures, and distributed by Bona Films. Everyone likes to watch some festive and joyful films during the Chinese New Year, although Zhu Yanping is known as "Taiwan Wang Jing", which is rich in bad movies, but this movie is very much expected, in addition to the charm of the new popular Wang Xiaoshenyang and his master Uncle Benshan, the big Buddha is also one of the main reasons why the film is so attention-grabbing.

This year's Bona distribution results were left far behind by Huayi, only 130 million box office "King of Guns" and 126 million "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Tiger and Tiger", the rest of the released films such as "Rizhao Chongqing", "Like a Dream", "All the Way with You" many have not exceeded 10 million, so far the total box office of the released films in 2010 has just exceeded 300 million, far less than the box office of a "Tangshan Earthquake", This achievement is not even as good as Mizuki Forest, which does not count the two Hollywood films. In order to ensure his position in the industry and not be surpassed by rising stars like Mizuki, Bona attaches great importance to "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu", and has invested a lot of publicity efforts at the end of the year, which is bound to dominate in the first half of the Chinese New Year.

Of course, "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu" is not without opponents, the day after its release, Xingmei Media, TV and Radio Media, Shanghai Film Group co-produced, Huaxia Film was released, and director Chen Kaige's new work "Zhao's Orphan" followed closely and entered the Chinese New Year schedule. After the fiasco of "Wuji", Chen Kaige chose to use "Mei Lanfang" to slowly recover his vitality and won 110 million box office with a literary film, and now he once again challenged costume films, chose the classical tragedy "Zhao's Orphan", and found the popular mainland actor Ge You and popular male idol Huang Xiaoming, popular female idol Zhu Bingbing and national daughter-in-law Haiqing to perform this big drama.

In this Chinese New Year file, in addition to appearing in "Zhao's Orphan", Ge You will also work with Jiang Wen and Zhou Yunfa to "Let the Bullets Fly", and partner Feng Xiaogang and Shu Qi to continue "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", the three most potential blockbusters are starring him, and in addition to Ge You or Ge You in the entire New Year file, this has also become a news breaking point. It is said that the three films are in the same Huai' Rou Zhongying Base for post-production, only to hear a "Ge Yousheng" in the corridor, I don't know how to think it is just a film, and the directors of the three films, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang, took a break halfway, and met on the balcony outside the editing room, everyone talked happily and asked them who was the biggest winner this year, Jiang Wen pointed to the voice coming from behind: "He is the biggest uncle!" ”

As the first appearance of Uncle Ge in the three films, "Zhao's Orphan", coupled with the good director and cast, the film is very much expected by the media and the audience.

In the first week of release, the box office of "Da Lang Xiao Jianghu" was 60.9 million in the first three days, and the box office of "Zhao's Orphan" was 49.6 million in the first two days, and "Da Lang Xiao Jianghu" snatched the weekly crown from "Harry Potter 7", but in terms of box office results, the two new Chinese films are still slightly better than "Zhao's Orphan", and from the perspective of word of mouth, "Zhao's Orphan" is also stronger than "Da Lang Laughing Jianghu", fortunately, the word-of-mouth of the two films is not the top one, each has its own slots, which did not force "Cold Heart" into a dead end, this week, "Cold Heart" The fifth on the weekly list, another 13 million was earned, and the total box office in the mainland reached 291 million.

It is worth mentioning that the North American box office of "Cold Heart" has exceeded the 100 million US knife level in six weeks, reaching 100.4 million, and it is expected that the final North American box office will be fixed between 101 million ~ 102 million, this is He Mu's first film with a North American box office of over 100 million, although it is not a Chinese film, but not every Chinese actor can have this opportunity, He Mu has shown his face in the United States and has become another Chinese actor who can eat well in Hollywood after Zhang Ziyi.

The result of "Cold Heart" is the best horror film in North America in 2010, even in the entire history of the North American horror film box office, this achievement is also very eye-catching, its success is bound to make He Mu's salary rise sharply when filming the second part, his salary was 300,000 US dollars when he filmed the first part, it is better to film in the mainland, but Jeff said that the starting price of the second part has to be 3 million US dollars, of course, how much you can get in the end depends on the negotiation strength of his agent, so much salary, It will cost almost 20 million yuan to convert into RMB, and maybe the next time Forbes makes a list, He Mu's endorsement will no longer be the largest in his income.

Driven by two new Chinese films, the market rose to a high of 190 million again, the mainland box office is one step closer to 10 billion, everything is very harmonious, He Mu also began to prepare for the next step of the promotion of "Zi Buyu", the third funny version of the trailer has been edited and will be released soon, he and Qian Qian, Mi Mi, Shi Shi, and Dandan finalized that they will participate in the promotional film of "Happy Camp" in a week, and take the four little flowers to the show together.

But at this moment, some discordant voices appeared in the circle, although it had nothing to do with He Mu, he couldn't ignore it.

As early as the first day of the release of "Zhao's Orphan", some netizens wrote in Tieba that they originally wanted to watch "Da Lu Xiao Jianghu", but the theater gave him a ticket for "Zhao's Orphan".

In the following days, such deeds appeared in the post bar and forums many times, and the things explained were basically the same, all of which were "watched "Da Lu Laughing Jianghu", but got a ticket for "Zhao's Orphan", and vice versa, but it is not mainstream, so the term "stealing the box office" has become a hot topic nowadays......
