Through the screening of the first few films and the huge success of the first few films, Hollywood has at least successfully opened the curtain of the Christmas movie schedule competition, and once this curtain is opened, then "Qin Shi Huang", as the last war horse, will naturally reach everyone's attention. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After returning from Chinese mainland, Chen Xiaotang and the others almost let go of their baggage and edited non-stop. For such a huge movie, the big guy had to finish the final cut within a week and then submit it for review. Fortunately, Shadow Entertainment has always used the mode of editing while shooting, so that although a week is a bit tight for them, it can basically be completed.
As a result, the editing room of Fox Film Company, a subsidiary of Magic Shadow Entertainment, has become a hot battlefield again. In order to complete this movie, to be precise, to make this movie be released on time under the premise of ensuring quality, Chen Xiaotang has used all the power at his disposal.
This Christmas file, the Shadow must win!
For the big drama of Magic Shadow Entertainment.
Many Hollywood filmmakers have nothing to doubt about its quality, the big directors Spielberg and Lucas are among them, and the legendary acting skills of Rafi Chen are superb, plus many Hollywood big names have made cameos, Hua? ahrf='///4/'>.Superstar joins the performance, the quality of this drama should be first-class, but in terms of box office, everyone is very worried.
In the words of the famous critic John Kata: "There is no doubt that this time Magic Shadow Entertainment has built a high-rise building for itself, a high-rise building with too much investment!" For 20 million dollars, you can shoot at least three or four very good movies. But so much money was all invested in this drama, even if this drama collected 10,000 yuan a day, it would take 20 days to pay back. Not to mention the sharing of accounts for other theaters, so calculated, it means that this drama may not make a penny for a month after it is released! ”
"With such a terrible investment, we are full of anticipation, what will happen to such a work? Magic Shadow Entertainment, which has always been known for its abundant funds, was very skeptical about whether the cost had been calculated when it started filming this drama. Or, the heads of the people who invested in this drama at that time were hot, in order to promote some Chinese civilization. And determined to waste their money! I have to say that this drama is too money-burning and burns people's eggs! ”
As competitors, the CEOs of other Hollywood studios have also expressed a variety of opinions.
Paramount. "We know that Mr. Rafi Chen, the president of Magic Shadow Entertainment, must be under a lot of pressure at this moment. It's just that this drama is a big production that he personally decided to shoot; That's right. It was decided by him alone, he is very rich, it is undeniable, but this kind of money-burning behavior without considering the actual situation still lays the groundwork for how the box office of this drama is now. If the box office is really bad, I believe that he, as the leading actor and investor, will definitely cry. I'll hand him the tissue myself! Let the queen tell him, dear. Don't cry like a! ”
MGM Pictures, "I really can't think of how we can show the caution of our investment without a big investment like Rafi Chen's. Every time we make a film, we calculate the benefits in advance before we decide whether we want to do it or not. But this time, apparently Shadow Entertainment didn't do this, Rafi Chen didn't do it, he directly smashed the gold bar into it, 20 million, even a big-name company like us is staggered, how can such a cost be earned? What's more, it's profitable? Unless, a miracle happens, though, is it possible?! ”
Disney Studios, "Thank God, it's good that we're making an animated film, not a live-action movie, otherwise a huge investment like this 20 million might have cost us a fortune!" ”
Columbia Pictures, "Magic Entertainment used to be very cautious in filming. We clearly remember that when they first acquired Fox, they invested in almost all low-cost small films, such as "Horror Cruise", "Buried Alive", etc., these investments were only about 300,000, at most 1 million movies, but they brought them tens of millions of profits; But now, everything has changed, Magic Shadow Entertainment has begun to become arrogant, and it can be seen from this huge investment that they no longer think about any exquisite small productions, and they are bound to create a blockbuster era, but is it easy? But we're still looking forward to the release of their new film! By the way, we invested six million in "Gi~Du's Last Temptation", and now the box office has reached 30 million, which is a good start, isn't it?! ”
……
It can be seen from the above remarks that whether it is a Hollywood critic or a film company, for the Fox drama "Qin Shi Huang" under Magic Shadow Entertainment, not to mention the word-of-mouth, but the box office is unanimously not optimistic, the reason is that the investment cost of 20 million is too big and difficult to recover.
In response to such a question, a well-known reporter from Sky TV interviewed Jim, the chief manager of the Magic Shadow, and Jim answered on behalf of the company.
He said: "Although we have invested a lot in this drama, we have the confidence and reason to recover the cost. ”
"What do you think of this play, are you worried about the box office?" The reporter continued to ask.
"Me? I'm just a part-time worker, and I believe we have achieved our goals at the box office, because this is what we admire the most, Rafi Chen, and he is right! ”
"Then can we say that you have some blind worship of him?"
"Even if it is, many people are not qualified to worship him? Do you have the ability to make hundreds of billions a year? ”
"I'm sorry, we're talking about movies now, not financial investment!"
"But in my opinion, whether it's finance or movies, our boss has done a great job! He can't be wrong! ”
"It seems that you are really full of confidence, and it really arouses my curiosity, what is your magic weapon for box office hits!"
"I'm sorry, I told you, you can't reveal it until the movie is released, it's a secret!"
……
This news interview is very weird, but it revealed some news to everyone, that is, Magic Shadow Entertainment has a trick to recover 20 million investment costs, as for what this trick is. You don't know.
One way or another, under all sorts of speculation, under all sorts of public opinion. The Magic Movie blockbuster, or the most expensive Hollywood drama in history, "Qin Shi Huang", was finally officially released in the United States at the end of December!!
Then everyone suddenly discovered that the ticket price of this play turned out to be an astonishing $100 per piece!
No, it's too black-hearted, isn't it a movie ticket that can be done for a dozen dollars? How is this drama ten times the ticket price of other movies?!
Is the Shadow crazy for money?! Or is it so unscrupulous and indiscriminate charging in order to recover costs?!
Some viewers even directly sued the price bureau of the United States for this "random price increase", but the conclusion was that the other party's price increase was reasonable!
Why is this happening? Everyone, dumbfounded!
Wait until the end. Everyone figured out that the "Qin Shi Huang" launched by Magic Shadow Entertainment this time turned out to be an epoch-making "three-dimensional movie"!
Historically, this cinematic technique has only been used sparingly in science fiction movies to create the effect of a roller coaster swooping up and down. Underwater world, space odyssey, bullet shooting and other surprising special effects that could not be presented in live-action movies.
It is the first time that it has been directly applied to a large-scale ancient war epic.
And the slogan played by Magic Shadow Entertainment is: "Accompany us, travel through time and space; Jin Ge Iron Horse. A feast for the eyes! "It's clear that it's to be cool in the war scene.
As for the marketing slogans in newspapers and magazines, they are:
"Be the first to eat crabs! Look at the tome. Win the new century! ”
"Are you still a young man? Then come and see "Qin Shi Huang" and tell you what is the new technology of film! ”
"If you don't watch a play during the holidays this year, you have to watch a play!"
"Movies, the best choice for new humans!"
……
To put it bluntly, Magic Shadow Entertainment focuses on young people's curiosity, competitiveness, and super high acceptance of new things.
And there is no doubt that this strategy has been very successful. Especially in a place like the United States, which is full of curiosity and wonder and vanity, young people are even more eager for this new thing. So much so that movie tickets for thirty cinemas were booked out, and demand was still in short supply.
However, due to the limited number of movie theaters, other movie theaters can only show the regular version of "Qin Shi Huang", and its ticket prices have not increased, and other movies yiyàg.
However, this kind of polarized ticket price has been recognized by most people, so that if you have money, you can watch it, and if you don't have money, you can come and watch this play.
In short, those who want to watch this drama are basically satisfied.
On the day of the premiere, almost all of Hollywood focused on this play, watching the audience enter like a turbulent wave, and Chen Xiaotang, who stood on the balcony on the second floor of the theater and watched, breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know which reporter saw him below and yelled: "Rafite, that's Rafite!" Can you say a few words about this movie, okay? ”
Chen Xiaotang was condescending and said, "I am very grateful to everyone for their support, this drama has condensed my most painstaking efforts, from the start of filming to the present, I just want to say that it is absolutely great!" ”
"Is it really great? Mr. Rafichen, are you exaggerating? Someone asked.
Chen Xiaotang smiled slightly, "Is it great, did you know soon after you came in and took a look?" ”
That record? ahrf='///444/'>. blushing, "But there are no tickets now!" ”
Chen Xiaotang shrugged: "Then I'm sorry, even though I'm the boss, I can't help you, I can't give you my seat, right?" ”
"Hahaha!" The crowd all laughed.
……….
If there's one of the biggest suspense tonights? Undoubtedly, it is the premiere result of the super masterpiece "Qin Shi Huang".
Two hours later, the answer came out.
What makes a good movie? Wonderful? Touching? Or does it resonate?
There is no doubt that "Qin Shi Huang" is a big movie with a historical epic theme, and it is majestic and breathtaking from beginning to end. In particular, the audience was shocked by the unprecedented audio-visual experience. It's like a golden iron horse, and the battlefield of blood and tears is right in front of you.
Chen Xiaotang, the actor of the actor Qin Shi Huang, can he be on the big screen? ahrf='///44/'>. is full of domineering, and interprets an iron-blooded and cunning emperor through the ages.
His brutal eyes, the gaze of an eagle, and the momentum of a dragon's step. It's chilling on the big screen. And there is a tenderness hidden in his heart, his attachment to his mother, and his dedication to his first love. The fanaticism for dominating the world is extremely sympathetic.
It can be said that Chen Xiaotang interpreted the history of Qin Shihuang for more than 30 years in the play, portrayed his life one by one, and won everyone's recognition with his superb acting skills.
And the saddest part of this play. is undoubtedly "Meng Jiangnu Crying on the Great Wall", a very tear-jerking folk tale that was originally adapted by Chen Xiaotang. It was undoubtedly more successful.
The heroine Lin Qingxia is sometimes tender like water, and she is affectionate towards her husband; He was persevering and reprimanded cruelty in the face of Qin Shi Huang. Especially in the end, she knelt down beside the Great Wall and did not eat or drink for three days and three nights. The scene of crying incessantly. It made all the audience cry, and then scolded Qin Shihuang played by Chen Xiaotang.
It's over!
It's finally over!
The moment the lights came on, all of them stood up from their seats, and then there was thunderous applause, which shook the earth and shook the entire cinema.
Looking at every audience again, there was emotion on their faces. There is joy, there are tears. There is laughter......
"This is one of the best movies I've ever seen and the one that moved me the most! I Meng is so pitiful! A black aunt said while wiping tears from her sleeve.
"This drama fills me with fighting spirit, I want to work hard like the male protagonist Qin Yiyàg to sweep the six countries, oh no, first sweep the six grocery stores in front of our house and start my supermarket? ahrf='////'>. A young white man said, waving his fist.
"Who do I like, you ask? Oh, how to say it, I like that godfather Lu Buwei very much, I think he is very principled, but unfortunately, he was poisoned by his son Qin in the end! But the greatness of his life and the glory of his death! A middle-aged man in a suit said.
……
These are all the voices of the audience, and at this moment, as the investor and starring of this play, Chen Xiaotang was pushed onto the stage with a smile by directors Steel, Lucas and others.
Chen Xiaotang came to the stage, waved to everyone and said words of thanks, while signaling everyone to be quiet, but everyone is fast? ahrf='///4/'>. was crazy, especially when I saw him appear, I burst into tears with excitement.
"This is a more majestic historical masterpiece than "The Roman Empire" and "Ben-Hur", Chen, your script has succeeded!" The honorary mayor of Hollywood, USA, couldn't help but applaud and congratulate below.
"Thank you!" Chen Xiaotang nodded at him, and then glanced at the audience who were looking at him, at that moment, without any words, everyone's eyes suddenly stayed on him.
"I'm sorry to make everyone cry today! Are there many people who hate me very much, in reality, I definitely didn't bully Meng Jiangnu! Chen Xiaotang bowed to everyone, and then said in everyone's laughter: "Now that this drama is finished, it is estimated that some people regard it as an epic inspirational film, some people regard him as a war action movie, and some people regard it as a tender love movie...... But it doesn't matter, because in my opinion, no matter what kind of drama it is, it was a success and received everyone's applause!
Chen Xiaotang's words seemed very calm, without the slightest excitement or pride.
And at this time, everyone fell into contemplation, because as Chen Xiaotang said, everyone sees this drama as the type of drama they want to recognize, but in the final analysis, this drama is just a tool to entertain everyone, and it has been unanimously approved by everyone, then, this is really enough.
One? ahrf='///4/'>.Chen Xiaotang, who is full of glory, has taken the initiative to fade his halo at this moment, and seems to be moving towards the road of changing to the basics.
Seeing that everyone looked pensive, Chen Xiaotang smiled in his heart, then looked at the reporters in the press box, nodded and said, "I know that reporter friends have a lot to ask, so I'll give you half an hour now!" ”
"May I ask Mr. Chen, the heroine who played Meng Jiangnu in the film, why didn't she come to the scene today?"
"It's very simple, she paid a lot for the filming of this drama, especially it takes time to withdraw from the role, so after filming this drama, she went out to travel and relax!"
"Mr. Chen, do you believe in the Lord? Otherwise, why is the Great Wall crying in your movie? Obviously, the thunder and lightning are a manifestation of a miracle! ”
"No, I've never believed in any sect or religion, and you ask about miracles? Hehe, that's just a description technique made for the needs of the plot! No one has ever seen God, so who knows if it's a miracle or a natural phenomenon? ”
"Mr. Chen, then ,......"
……
"In the last two minutes, who else asks?" After answering countless questions, Chen Xiaotang looked at his watch and looked at everyone with a smile.
"I would like to ask you, do you have any plans to make a film this year?" This is a female journalist.
"This ...... I didn't want to say it, but I'll tell you now! Chen Xiaotang teased the reporter, and then said: "I may not act in any more movies after I finish this play!" ”
"Wow!"
As soon as Chen Xiaotang's words fell, all the people suddenly stood up, and they all looked at Chen Xiaotang in disbelief, because the news was too scary.
"No more movies? My God! Tomorrow's headlines are back! "A male reporter was so fanatical that his eyes were red.
"Impossible! How could Raffi be out of the picture? We fans will never say yes! A female fan roared with emotion.
"I ......"
Chen Xiaotang looked at the fanatical crowd below with a smile, and couldn't help but feel sour, and had to explain: "I understand everyone's mood at the moment, but please also understand me!" The reason why I took a break from filming is because I have been diagnosed with a split personality for the filming of this film."
"What? Split personality? Raffi is sick! ”
"How is that possible, how could Rafi get sick?!"
All the doubts will turn into a noise
