The boycott of "Brokeback Mountain" has now become a trend, and even "Ghost Record 5", which was released at the end of October, has been affected. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This film is also directed by Wen Ziren, in fact, the next few "Ghost Shadows" have deviated greatly from the original plot, and they are completely new series of stories. And this film also increased the production cost to four million US dollars under Master Wen's ruthless gritting.

The box office did get off to a good start with nearly $60 million in its opening week, but the box office grew much slower after the opening week.

The Halloween schedule in the past two years has been almost dominated by Dream Media, and since Liu Anran played the first "Ghost Record" in 2000, it has continuously dominated the box office top spot of the Halloween schedule. So during this period, basically other companies have given up competition.

But even so, it took three weeks for "Ghost Record 5" to break through the $100 million box office. This is a work by Master Wen, if the plot has a plot, it must be scary and scary, this is not a normal box office result at all. The only reason is that it was affected by the incident of "Brokeback Mountain".

The boycott signatures that people have mustered have exceeded 100,000, and among these 100,000 people, there must have been people who wanted to watch "Ghost Record 5" before, and they still have friends and families, and under their influence, this film is not to be watched.

Even if Liu Anran is very confident, the current situation makes him a little nervous, because this matter is no longer developing according to the original trajectory and is out of his control.

"Andy, are you done editing?" Edward, who had a sad face, saw Liu Anran come over again and asked with a wry smile.

"I just finished the first cut, and my mind has not been determined." Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"So do you think our Chronicles of Narnia should be released after Brokeback Mountain? I'm worried that if it continues, it will also affect the film. Edward asked.

"It's okay, we're going to release it on the same day to create a linkage effect. The box office of "Brokeback Mountain" was not expected in the early stage, but in the later stage when word of mouth was gradually rising. Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"We are here to win the award, and only when "Brokeback Mountain" is hyped up more and more will those on the jury look at this film with a true artistic eye. And films like "The Chronicles of Narnia" are also familiar to our company, and everyone will not doubt the quality of the film. If they really don't want to watch it, we won't watch it if we delay the release. ”

"In fact, there are some benefits to their current protest with such a loud voice, they are only protesting against the subject, not the quality of the film. After the actual release, the relative movie reviews come out, and I think those who wait and see will choose to go into the cinema to take a look. ”

"Andy, do you really think so? Not to comfort me? Edward looked at Liu Anran and asked.

"Of course, what's the point of us lying to ourselves. Don't worry, I've accumulated a lot of energy here, and when the film is released, I'll transform into Hulk and release my energy. Liu Anran said with a smile.

The only bit of confidence he had was the glimmer of the future he had seen. He feels that there is still a lot of inertia in the future, and even if there are many factors of human interference in this film, as long as it can be released, there will always be a good harvest.

"Let's stay up a little longer, this film will be released in less than half a month. Next year, whether we drink wine and eat meat, or go to the trash can to rummage through it, it depends on this one. Liu Anran patted Edward's shoulder and said.

"Andy, don't be so pathetic. By the way, the specific date of your wedding has been confirmed, should we count the people who attended in the past? Edward asked with a smile.

"I'll leave this question to you, and when the time comes, contact the plane and send it to everyone." Liu Anran said very easily.

"Don't be so me, okay?" Edward smiled wryly and said, "You're always going to tell me the approximate list, right?" Or I know who to invite? ”

"Yu Fu is drawing up a list over there, and I will send it to you in the next two days. It won't make you embarrassed, just arrange the itinerary and you're OK. Liu Anran said with a smile.

Everyone in the family is busy with the wedding, and the only thing that is easy is themselves. And the latest notice I received is that the scale of this wedding is slightly larger.

Old Man Liu's original intention was actually to simply do it in the yard, and he didn't expect this to make money. However, as the date was set, there were many more people in the United States who wanted to participate than Liu Anran had predicted.

Liu Anran originally just wanted to invite some good friends who he had made strong here, and then there were the bosses of various companies. Didn't expect Dick? Cook, the people they knew from the rest of the studios, also expressed a desire for the past.

This matter had to be treated carefully, so the number of people on Fang Yufu's side also expanded. In fact, now Liu Anran is doubting whether the yard can be loaded by then.

The only thing that makes Liu Anran feel more comfortable is that there are not so many cutscenes to go to this wedding. In the words of Mr. Liu, everything is simple, and there is no need for so many red tape.

In fact, Liu Anran felt that this might be Fang Yufu's request, which was to save Peacock and Ha Zhiyuan from being too sad. After all, among the three of them, only Fang Yufu was able to hold a wedding.

"Do you think we need to cheer up the employees in the company? They have also been burdened for a long time. Edward asked again.

"It's okay, actually, I don't think you really need to worry too much about them." Liu Anran shook his head and said.

"After two years of adjustment, the people who have been able to stay at MGM are wonderful people. They've all been through a low period like MGM, and now for them, it's pediatrics. ”

"Also, you have to inform me that during the limited release of "Brokeback Mountain", even if everyone wants to watch it, you have to hold it back and don't go to the theater to watch it."

"Why?" Edward asked, frowning.

"I want the real reputation of this film, those people in the outside world have too superficial understanding of this film, and they don't know what we are talking about in this film." Liu Anran said with a smile.

"So let's give more people the opportunity to enjoy this film at this time and express their true feelings."

"It's a battle, and it's not just about us at MGM, but I always feel like there's some other mess involved."

He didn't say what it was, but Edward knew that it was still the identities of Ang Lee and Liu Anran.
