Chapter 348: He Mu Was Cheated (Happy New Year!) )
When He Mu Shishi was spreading a healthy ambiguous little scandal, "Sword and Fairy 3" starring two new Xiaohuadan had begun to be broadcast on the terrestrial channel, and Shishi played Hu Ge's sister in it, and it was appropriate to combine some media's ridicule of her and He Mu's "Brother Mu Shimei". Although the show is only spread on a small scale on the local stage, but the response is enthusiastic, it is not difficult to see that this will be another popular drama, it is likely to continue the glory of "Fairy Sword 1" that year, and Hu Ge is also very likely to return to the ranks of first-line students with this film, but for the sake of insurance, the Tang people won the TV series version of "Myth" produced by Cheng Long for Hu Ge, directed by Jiang Jiajun, who created the super high ratings of "Flight Attendant", they are the tide that may be triggered after they fancy He Mu's "Good Man of the Tang Dynasty".
It's not just Shangying Yinghuang who likes to cross this theme, the tiger wolf Xiao Fang is also full of confidence in this theme after watching the effect of "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty", even if the TV series has not yet been broadcast, but the good reputation of the show has been spread in the industry, so Xiao Fang plans to create another big drama while the iron is hot, this time it has become a female wear drama, adapted from the smash hit Qing Piercing novel "Step by Step", the main pillar is poetry, and now the show is being planned. At the same time, Yu Zheng, a famous screenwriter who has cooperated with Tiger Wolf and Bingbing Studio in "Rouge Snow", also took a fancy to the fat of the theme of Qing Piercing, and it seems that there will soon be a phenomenon of crossing and piling up, which is probably not a good phenomenon.
These are not what He Mu is concerned about, what he is concerned about now is the crazy performance of "Transformers 2" in the mainland film market.
In the first five days, it collected 160 million box office, breaking the single-week record held by "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" in one fell swoop. A total of 47,000 screenings were shown in five days, with more than 4.7 million viewers and an average of more than 100 viewers! This film accounts for 68% of the national film schedule. The box office accounts for 92% of the total weekly box office, and other movies have almost no room to survive, and even "Terminator 2018", which is under the promotional slogan of the finale of the "Terminator" series, also plunged sharply in the third week of its release, with a weekly box office result of less than 10 million.
Although "Change 2" came out with mixed reviews, and the word-of-mouth was not one-sided, it couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for watching the movie, they didn't care whether the storyline of the movie was good or bad. I don't care about the experts' viewing guidance and suggestions, it seems that watching "Transformers 2" has become pop culture consumption, and some experts and scholars regard it as a typical example of irrational consumption. At this time, word-of-mouth and marketing methods become not so important. Only the words "Transformers" are enough to make the audience walk into the cinema one after another.
"Transformers 2" entered the mainland film market with unstoppable momentum at the end of June, announcing that there will be a fierce battle in the summer file. Director He Ping. "Wheat Field" starring Zhu Bingbing and Wang Xueqi first became cannon fodder, and the cumulative box office did not exceed 10 million. The domestic cartoon "Ma Lanhua", dubbed by Lin Chiling, Chen Hao, Yao Ming, etc., has now passed three weeks, and the box office is only 6 million, which is not a return on investment of 15 million at all.
The strength of "Transformers 2" has put pressure on the movies released later, especially the new films in July, such as "Looking for Jackie Chan", which is the first to be born, and the big brother is estimated to be under pressure this time. He Mu is very glad that the schedule they set is August, and it is estimated that the influence of "Transformers 2" should have diminished by then.
It may be that everyone also thinks that "Change 2" is too brutal, and many movies that are expected to start the beginning of the summer file have quietly withdrawn to the later schedule. As a result, only "Ice Age 3" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" are Hollywood blockbusters that have been scheduled, and Hollywood cannibalism is what many mainland filmmakers are happy to see. It just seems a little weak, which is a sign of fear. He Mu really wanted to say to the rescheduled films such as "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Zero Dog" and "Eavesdropping", you all go back, let me come!
But this is just thinking about it, impulse is impossible to defeat the menacing "Hao Laihu", sometimes he has to be cautious and calculating, in the face of "Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Ice Age" These Hollywood blockbusters he is not confident, not the quality of the movie is not confident, he believes that "Very Perfect" tells a good story, relaxed and inspirational, and the technical level is impeccable, but it has no special effects, does not have the super influence of a series of movies, and it is not from the United States, some are just two popular stars. Once caught in the battle of these three blockbusters, He Mu doesn't know how many rows of films a small and medium-cost Chinese film can get, and I'm afraid that even domestic theaters will not support them too much.
At this time, the box office of dozens of foreign language films can be almost equal to the box office of ten times the number of Chinese films, and the imported films are all distributed by China Film and Huaxia Film, and the two national film companies are more profitable than Chinese films because of policy reasons, and they are usually not too stingy with film scheduling, which is also one of He Mu's headaches, so let these Hollywood blockbusters fight among themselves, in the short term, there are only these few movies that Chinese people can watch, but He Mu secretly swears, One day he wants to make Chinese films the strongest film genre in this land, and he wants foreign language films to go around his films! Today's weakness must not be repeated!
Of course, that may be achieved after many years, now we still have to be down-to-earth, based on the present, He Mu has been busy with Zhang Ziyi and Zhu Bingbing to participate in the promotion of "Very Perfect" recently, and at the same time participate in some post-production work after "Glass Heart", a complete movie is about to come out, and now Tao Quduo is talking about the soundtrack with several well-known soundtracks in China, this movie needs good music to be more perfect.
In addition, He Mu is busy promoting the filming of "Du Lala's Promotion", the selection of the male and female protagonists is a big problem, since Xu Jinglei hopes to only direct and not act, He Mu and the media played a "Du Lala in Your Eyes" selection activity in the entertainment newspaper, and all popular actresses of the right age are among the candidates.
As soon as this so-called public opinion selection appeared, the "Du Lala's Promotion", which had not yet started filming, was in full swing, and even People's Daily Online reported on it, and the final selection result was naturally that Xu Jinglei, the director of this film, was selected, which is a dark box operation, but it is harmless, because even if others are selected, people may not necessarily come to play, such as Zhao Wei, who has a high ranking, she is busy with Zhen Zidan's "Jinyiwei", or even if Xu Jinglei and He Mu are selected, they may not necessarily like it, for example, many people chose Liu Yifei, Xu Jinglei still has relatively high requirements for acting skills, so the most promising candidate is He Mulai to determine the most secure, but in this way, when the results are announced, Director Xu Jinglei is placed in the most high-profile position.
Of course He Mu didn't think that his little tricks would force Lao Xu to comply, but with Zhang Yibai's persuasion, he was much more sure, He Mu didn't know what method Zhang Yibai used, anyway, he promised He Mu that he would persuade Lao Xu to agree to play Durala, and soon after Xu Jinglei really announced that she would be the female number one Durala, which will become Xu Jinglei's fourth self-directed and self-starred movie, and it is her first time directing a commercial film, full of gimmicks and very expected, He Mu is also looking forward to it, It is estimated that this movie can bring him at least 10 million benefits, and he is already smiling proudly.
However, just when He Mu was proud, Lao Xu immediately publicly stated on his blog that He Mu would also star in the film and serve as the male number one Wang Wei, and she also sincerely expressed her appreciation for He Mu, and she was very much looking forward to the cooperation between the two.
He Mu often mixes in the blog, and happened to see this popular blog of the day, and after clicking on it, he immediately called Xu Jinglei. Before He Mu could say anything, Lao Xu blocked He Mu back with a word, "You cheated me once, I cheated you once, so that everyone is even, you won't joke about my Lao Xu's reputation." ”
He Mu didn't expect a literary young woman to have such a scoundrel side, "What else can I say, by the way, you show me the script again, I'll find a few friends and then staff officers, and push the shooting date back." ”
"Boss Xie He, fortunately, the few actors I found haven't been decided yet." Xu Jinglei smiled, and after hanging up the phone, Lao Xu made a "yes" gesture to Zhang Yibai.
Zhang Yibai said confidently, "What do I say, he cheated you, and he must not be happy in his heart, at this time, you should take the opportunity to come back, so that the goal can not be achieved." "It seems that this thing didn't do anything else when he was in the drug rehabilitation center and detention center, so he just held back his eyes.
Xu Jinglei was still proud just now, and at this time she clubbed her chin depressedly, "But I was also pitted into it like this." ”
Zhang Yibai comforted, "Actually, it's nothing, you don't have to worry about acting affecting your performance, your first three movies didn't all come over like this, and even if you want to be distracted from acting, isn't there still mine, I can help you if I'm really busy." ”
"It's not this that I'm depressed," Xu Jinglei took a sip of coffee and said embarrassedly, "I didn't think I was acting by myself anyway, so the bed scene was a bit too written." ”
"Uh," Zhang Yibai was stunned for a moment, and then "Ha Lu Ha" Da Lu laughed, "You are doing your own evil and can't live, then it depends on how He Mu handles this paragraph." ”
Soon after, He Mu gathered Li Wenhua's two friends, Bei Sihan, who had created a good reputation for "True Treasure" together, and also created "Glass Heart" with collective wisdom, this time he took out the movie version of "Du Lala's Promotion" and asked the two to help him consult, hoping to turn decay into magic.
