"The box office champion of the Chinese film of the year was released, and "Painted Skin 2" broke 100 million US dollars in two weeks!" ——The red letter slaughter version of the homepage of Time.com.

"Produced and written by Shao Shuaijun, directed by Wu Ershan, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun teamed up again, the 3D sequel to "Painted Skin" "Painted Skin 2" hit the highest box office record of Chinese films in the mainland with a strong momentum!" - "Beijing Entertainment News".

"After four years, the sequel to "Painted Skin" has finally come out, and the Chinese magic production grabbed 100 million US dollars at the box office in a week and a half, and Summit Entertainment has confirmed that the North American schedule of "Painted Skin 2" has been advanced to November 19, and the global schedule is also being planned. - The Beijing News.

"The magic of the big commercial director is still there, and the screenwriter's superpower is unsurpassed." - "Yangcheng Evening News".

Obviously, the director is Wu Ershan, but the media still blames Shao Shuaijun, after all, Wu Ershan had little experience as a director before, and Shao Shuaijun's works in screenwriting have almost never lost money. From the early "Awkward Journey", "Crazy Racing", "Durala's Promotion" to "Twilight: Twilight", "The Hunger Games", "The Hangover" and so on in North America, all sold out.

Painted Skin 2 performed brilliantly, even surpassing Daifuku 2 for a time, and the three days of the weekend from the 19th to the 21st were the first head-to-head battle between the two major productions of the East and the West. Within the Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, Yi Jianmei, the boss of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, and Mitchell, the boss of Summit Entertainment, even made an appointment on the phone and lost the treat.

Because the time is approaching the end of the year, the head office of the group specially held a "Eastern and Western Hemisphere Huashan Debate" event, betting on the performance of the two sequels in North America this weekend. Let all the employees of the company choose, whether the box office of Painted Skin 2 is high or the box office of Daifuku 2 is high, choose the right one, this year's year-end bonus will be doubled, and there will be no loss if you choose the wrong one.

Although Daifuku 2 did not perform well in North America, it is a Hollywood blockbuster after all, and the box office this weekend will basically not be less than 10 million. Although Painted Skin 2 performs well in Asia, it is a Chinese-language movie after all, and it is difficult to say whether it can adapt to the taste of North America.

It's a difficult choice, especially when it comes to year-end bonuses.

Ultimately. After a tough vote. After the results are counted, the number of people who support Painted Skin 2 is slightly higher than the number of people who support Daifuku 2. In terms of momentum, Painted Skin 2 has surpassed Daifuku 2.

The event didn't just attract the employees of Dream Entertainment Group. Even Shao Shuaijun participated.

"I chose Painted Skin 2 to beat Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game. I think "Painted Skin 2" can sweep with $50 million! Shao Shuaijun posted on Weibo coaxingly. Then "@ (can be understood as a summoning)" covered. Richie, Robert Jr. Donnie, Zhao Wei, Wu Ershan and others.

Twitter and Time Scarf are already interconnected and can @come and go to each other.

"Daifuku 2 must win!" Daifuku 2 director cover. Richie forwarded Shao Shuaijun's scarf and threatened to win.

"Painted Skin 2 is definitely going to win!" The director of Painted Skin 2, Wu Ershan, also forwarded it. with a cover. Rich was-for-tat.

"Painted Skin 2 wins, Painted Skin 2 wins, I'll invite everyone to dinner!" Zhao Wei said menacingly.

"If you choose the right one, is there a red envelope to take? If there is, I choose Painted Skin 2, and if not, I choose Daifuku 2. "Little Robert. Downey doesn't seem to have much confidence in himself.

"Donnie, you are so inferior, you don't have any courage at all, I support Daifuku 2!" With the interaction of Shao Shuaijun and others, the stars of these two movies who have nothing to do with them are also involved. Johnson and Robert Jr. worked on "Iron Man 2" and laughed at the moment. This year, her marriage to Reynolds has come to an end, but it seems that she is recovering quickly, and she can talk and laugh.

"Brother Iron Man, I support you in the name of the hammer!" Jack. Gyllen Hill reposted Weibo with a still from "Thor". Gyllen Hill plays Thor, who holds Thor's hammer in his hand, and is so cool that he drops scum.

"Teddy Bear asked me to tell you that he supports Painted Skin 2, and by the way, I also support Painted Skin 2." Joseph. Gordon. Levitt (the actor in "Teddy Bear") weakly replied.

"Support Painted Skin 2." Li Yu also interjected.

"I support Daifuku 2, but I'm more optimistic about the painting skin 2 and the big fuss 2." Christopher. Nolan was recently preparing for a new film "Interstellar Space", and he was also busy and interjected.

"My little nephew and I support Painted Skin 2 together and unify the world!" Li Bingbing was bored to join, and dragged Xiao Shao by the way.

In this way, the Huashan sword debate activity in the eastern and western hemispheres gradually spread from within the Dream Chasing Entertainment Group to the rivers and lakes, and countless swordsmen and knights drew their swords to cheer, hyping the duel between Painted Skin 2 and Daifuku 2 into a life-and-death duel between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies. The stars are helping, and fans will naturally not stand idly by, and they have threatened to go into the cinema to cheer for their idols.

The media also joined, coupled with the impetus of Summit Entertainment and Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, a war of words broke out vigorously.

"Daifuku 2 opens low and walks low, painted skin 2 opens high and walks high, although Daifuku 2 does not represent Hollywood, and painted skin 2 does not represent Chinese movies, but this direct battle is still a good opportunity to test the strength of both sides." —The New York Times.

"Hollywood's geek director Gai. Richie, the new director of Chinese films, Wu Ershan, two films that are not at the same level, premiered at the same time, and finally have to compete for a high level in the North American market, whether it is the victory of the invasion of Painted Skin 2, or the success of Daifuku 2 to defend the territory, let's wait and see. —Chicago Sun.

"Summit Entertainment's promotional strategy has worked very well, and according to market research, most of the public have further expectations for both films. Perhaps, this is Summit Entertainment's fight against Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I) approach to a war between East and West to undo the influence of Ha 7. —The Observer.

""Painted Skin 2" is on an expedition to North America, and Chinese people from all over the world have joined together to support it, and it has been chartered in many movie theaters!" - Hollywood Entertainment Report.

If the American media still retains a sense of sanity, the domestic media is excited, Chinese films have not been able to go out for many years, and their international influence is getting lower and lower. Now "Painted Skin 2" can be said to represent the wishes of countless Chinese. Began the conquest of North America.

Just like "Painted Skin" back then, it embodies the expectations of the Chinese people, and started the world war with "Poseidon" and "Mission Impossible 3", and the attention is incomparable. It was in that battle that "Painted Skin" defeated two Hollywood big-budget films in one fell swoop, topping the North American and Asian championships, and Shao Shuaijun became famous and was chosen as the cover character by Time Magazine.

After four years, there is another East-West showdown.

This time, in terms of cost, director, and scene, it is not as good as the world war of the year.

"Painted Skin 2" only has a production cost of 200 million yuan. At that time, "Painted Skin" was known as 500 million yuan. Daifuku 2 also only has a production cost of $120 million. At that time, "Mission Impossible 3" and "Poseidon" both had a production cost of $150 million. At that time, Shao Shuaijun had the success of "Source Code" first, and now Wuershan is not well-known.

There's also a huge gap, and that's Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part I) was also released before this Thanksgiving four-day holiday, under tremendous pressure from Harry 7. The decisive battle of the two films. It's a little ridiculous.

But in terms of attention. This time, however, the East-West debate was far greater than the last world war.

In the past four years, Dream Chasing Entertainment Group has spanned China and the United States, and there are countless stars it has influenced. Any one jumped out and shouted two sentences, and the number of people attracted was massive. Last time it was a scuffle, this time it's a showdown, and the audience's support is clearer! Ha 7 is indeed strong, but Painted Skin 2 and Daifuku 2 are also strong contenders.

It is not yet known who will kill the deer!

Affected by this trend, even bookmakers have offered odds, "Painted Skin 2" 1 to 1.202, "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: Shadow Game" 1 to 1.141, from the odds point of view is not much different, the two sides can be said to be evenly matched.

Public opinion is boiling.

In the villa, when Shao Shuaijun told Li Xiuxiu, Li Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Now whether it is Painted Skin 2 wins or Daifuku 2 wins, it can share the popularity of Ha 7, and the final win is our Dream Chasing Entertainment, who remembered this idea, it is very powerful." "It's been 8 months pregnant, and Lee so-so is now completely out of the company and waiting for the due date to come with peace of mind.

"A low-level employee named Qin Huohuo, this guy works in the propaganda department, has good planning skills, and has a lot of ghost ideas. Last week, Sister Mei went to inspect the work, and this guy recklessly peddled ideas to Sister Mei, and now, Qin Huohuo has been promoted three levels in a row and has become the deputy director of the planning department of Dream Chasing Jiahe. ”

"Haha, this guy is really bold, Sister Mei is not so easy to talk to, and she is very strict with the discipline of employees."

"It's also thanks to Sister Mei's propaganda background that she approved his plan, otherwise it would be the end of expulsion." Shao Shuaijun sighed that people's chances are always more important than talent, Qin Huohuo is talented, and he has been chasing dreams of Jiahe for four or five years, but he has always been the lowest employee. If it weren't for this reckless move, if it weren't for Yi Jianmei's sensitivity to publicity planning, this guy wouldn't know what would have happened.

"By the way, you're going to Treasure Island tomorrow and coming back in a few days?"

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "Three or four days, let's go to the United States first, I will have to go to the second filming project of "The Night Watchman" in person, and it will take a day or two." It will take a day to go to the Golden Horse Awards, and if Li Yu agrees to direct "Life of Pi", he will definitely have to discuss it for a day or two to see how to prepare and adapt the script. ”

"Go early and come back early." Li Xiuxiu was reluctant to say.

"Don't worry, if it weren't for Li Yu taking the lead, I wouldn't have participated in the Golden Horse Awards at all, I would have gone and returned early. Anyway, I have a special plane, so I can come and go as I please. ”

"Well, it's cold outside, remember to wear more clothes......"

On November 18, 2010, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States, and the second filming of "The Night Watchman" was launched, and the publicity had to be carried out simultaneously. With the 3D visual effects detonated by "Avatar", many old films have begun to project projects to convert the 3D version, and if possible, Shao Shuaijun also plans to convert "The Night Watchman" to the IMAX-3D version.

With the massive construction of IMAX-3D cinemas in China, it is time to pick the fruits.

The plane flew up into the sky and the clouds were in the sky.
