803: One Dominates, No One Can Shake the Flag (Fifth Shift)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the third week of September, in this festival of teachers, Laden and Chang'e for Chinese, the North American film market was a bleak storm. This week, Lionsgate's masculine "Warrior" took on Warner Bros.'s "Contagion" and the all-star cast of "Sick Shih" was even more endearing, taking on $22.4 million at the box office.
It's really an all-star cast, director Steven Soderbergh, starring Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brian Cranston, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, etc., all of them are first-line big names, and the star cast is almost comparable to "The Avengers".
But in terms of the type of film, it is basically the same as this? Affleck's "Thieves in the City" has a flat at 2380.
In fact, overall, the table of "Contagion" is not bad, after all, although it is supported by an all-star lineup, everyone understands that since the fall of the dynasty of "Ocean's Eleven", the all-star lineup that has experienced "Valentine's Day" has been smoothly transitioned, and the all-star lineup of "The Expendables" has returned to chūn in a small range, and the all-star battle is not a guarantee of the box office.
Since the beginning of the promotion, "Contagion" has not regarded itself as a commercial blockbuster, but has frequently shown favor to film critics with its literary and artistic style, and such a friendly gesture has naturally received good reviews.
The big dark horse "Mutual Help" continues to be a dark horse, the pure yang boxing film "Fighter" has a high reputation, and "The Rise of the Apes" starring Yuna has been released for eight weeks, and it is still on the ToP12 list. Yun'er's starlight is also becoming more and more reliable.
In the Hong Kong market, due to the cold schedule, the overall list of new films on the list is not hot enough, and the top position is 100% produced in Hong Kong "Love Yepu".
Focusing on the nightclub life of young people who are singing at night, there is a lot of soft ** content. For mainland audiences, who are desperately lacking in such films, the topic is greater than watching movies. But it does not prevent the film from successfully reaching the top, and this kind of tertiary film is also very marketable in Xiangjiang.
In the mainland market, when the summer and autumn are communicating, the weather has not really cooled down, but the box office market has really encountered a cold winter. The list is basically dominated by Hollywood movies. At the top of the list is the 3D "Deadly Abyss" supervised by James Cameron, which is only 22.3 million box office.
And "Xinhai Revolution" starring Cheng Long, Li Bingbing, and Zhao Wenxuan, I wanted to be smart to take over the class of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party".
The film from before the start of filming. The group of star-studded popular stars gathered, a bunch of gimmicky publicity planning, obviously smelled the "nuggets" of the "Xinhai Revolution" production team.
In the past hundred years, the sales of bookstore-related books have repeatedly broken successes, and the ratings of TV-related dramas have remained high. It's to experience the shock of war blockbusters and satisfy the desire of fanatical fans to chase stars, so it is obvious that the box office of the movie is far from the distributor's expectation of 200 million. The sincerity is not enough, and the process of making zuò is timid, just a bland expression of history, and the highlights are poor.
Three weeks after the release of the film, the box office is still only 45 million, and even the investment cost has not been recovered.
It turns out. It's just that under a specific historical theme, no matter how good a director follows the outline of the main theme, he can often only make a smooth transition and protect himself.
Red sè movies, in addition to Lu Chuan's "Nanjing Nanjing" released in 09, is considered a sincere work. Even the two domestic "Great Causes" are just outright money-making movies, and the red sè movie was killed by the Radio and Television Bureau itself.
Compared with the bleakness of September, the major film companies in the mainland. They have set their sights on the National Day holiday in October.
Juli Film and Television invested a huge amount of 180 million yuan to create the magical love action masterpiece "The Legend of the White Snake", which is supervised by the famous Asian producer Cui Baozhu, directed by the famous Hong Kong director Cheng Xiaodong, and the gold-level behind-the-scenes team Zhang Shuping, Lin An'er, and Jiang Guomin are jointly created. gathered Li Lianjie, Huang Shengyi, Lin Mad, Cai Zhuoyan, Heraldic, Xu Ruoxuan, Miriam Yang, Du Wenze and many other popular and powerful actors on both sides of the strait, which can be described as ambitious.
Coincidentally, Beijing Light Film Company also aimed at costume adaptation.
"Painted Wall" is directed by Chen Jiashang, based on the sixth part of Pu Songling's work "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which also includes Deng Chao, Zou Zhaolong, Bao Beier, Yan Shopkeeper, Sun Li, Zheng Shuang, Liu Yan, Zeng Zhiwei, An Zhijie and other stars, and will stage a costume magic show in October. The two films compete for the box office, and whoever wins and who loses is in the number of five or five.
It's just such a lively scene, without the participation of the phantom, it always seems a little deserted.
In the U.S. market, the Phantom will only be released this year until the Christmas period, when "Kung Fu Panda 2" will be released. As for the domestic schedule, the Phantom aims at the November schedule after the lively October schedule.
You put your money-burning magic masterpiece zuò, and I'll broadcast my little fresh romantic comedy. "33 Days of Broken Love" may not be worse than two movies that cost a lot of money to build, and let's wait and see.
"The Legend of the White Snake" is about to be released, and the publicity is also in full swing, and the heraldic only plays the role of a Fahai apprentice in it, and there is no publicity plan. After declining the invitation of Juli Film and Television, he devoted himself to film shooting.
Compared with the temporary absence of these two markets in September, in South Korea, the phantom is much more lively.
South Korea has just passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, the film market has gradually gone downhill after ushering in a small **, coupled with the unexpected high temperature weather in South Korea this Friday, most theaters started their own generators to barely broadcast, but theaters without emergency power generation equipment can only refund tickets to customers, which directly led to the rapid decline in the number of moviegoers this weekend.
The hit movie "Final Weapon: Bow" successfully turned over again with a grand scene and a tense and exciting plot rarely seen in Korean movies, squeezing out "Honor of the Family 4", which only occupied the championship for a week.
After a month and a half of broadcasting, although the number of moviegoers has dropped a little, there are still about 800,000 viewers who walked into the theater to enjoy the film in a week, and "The Final Weapon: Bow" occupies 20% of the market share, and the cumulative number of moviegoers this week has reached 7.05 million. There is every expectation to break through the annual champion box office results of "Sunshine Sisters".
The release of two films, both of which were the champions of the year, and the production strength shown by the Phantom made the whole of Korea fall into a state of panic. Why is it that the Phantom can make a movie that the audience likes, but others can't? Does the Phantom want to dominate the box office champion in South Korea for two consecutive years? Some of the big local companies are ashamed, but they can't do anything about it.
Experts from all walks of life analyzed the phantom mode, and finally concluded: A good script is a prerequisite, and Li Donglai's accurate selection of topics is also eye-popping.
At this moment, Phantom's third film "The Melting Pot" this year held test screenings in Gwangju, Busan, Daegu, and Yongsan, Seoul, to talk to the audience, and the first stop was Gwangju, which has special significance.
The story narrated in the film takes place in a school for the deaf and dumb in Gwangju, where Kong Yoo, a new art teacher, often feels inexplicably depressed on campus, and occasionally hears girls screaming in the bathroom. Confused, he is determined to investigate, and eventually discovers the ugly truth hidden behind this qiē.
This bloody and true event has been presented to readers in the form of a novel before, and it has also caused an uproar in South Korean society, and there are continuous voices of condemnation.
This time, the story undertakes public opinion and is brought to the big screen by the Phantom, exposing the helplessness and suffering of the vulnerable groups in society, the darkness and cruelty of violent power groups, and turning the words expressed on paper into the bloody truth in the form of sound and painting.
It was only a small-scale test screening, and it achieved an extraordinary word-of-mouth response.
And with the official release of "The Crucible" the following week, the Phantom finally ended the lifelessness of the Korean film market in the previous week with this heavy cannon and brought a trace of vitality.
"The Crucible", as its name suggests, gives the box office a bit of a hot temperature. After the official release, the new Phantom film was once again dominant, with a market share of 48.9%, accounting for almost half of the country, and the number of moviegoers was also relatively beautiful, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it still ushered in more than 680,000 viewers in three days over the weekend, and the cumulative box office directly exceeded 1 million.
Sure enough, it was a heavy cannon, and people have begun to speculate about what Cheng dù the Phantom can achieve with this heavy cannon.
The popularity of the film is naturally inseparable from the performances of the actors.
As the starring Korean star Kong Yoo, he has always been regarded as a romantic and gentle man because of the popularity of the TV series "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop". This time, he played the role of a single father who fights for justice, which also brought a lot of surprises to the audience, in the work, his deep eyes and Zhang Chi's moderate movements, which are a good expression of the true feelings of the role sè in the film, and because of the needs of the role sè, Kong Yu also has a lot of sign language performances in the film, which is also a great challenge to acting skills.
After Won Bin, he also boarded the Phantom train and became one of the most popular figures in South Korea at the moment.
The Phantom family is dominant, and the other two fresh faces on this week's list have been left out in the cold. They are the Korean films "The Client" and "Countdown", which will be officially released this week, and the two films have attracted attention because of the joining of Ha Jung-woo and Jeon Do-yeon respectively. This week's early test screening, both films have eye-catching performances, "The Client" has nearly twice as many viewers as "Countdown", and the fierce competition between the two films next week will also be even more interesting.
But the media is not optimistic about their dominance of the Phantom, even if "The Melting Pot" is released to the end in October, there is also the release of "Fighting Boy" directed by the beautiful director Son Ye-jin for the first time.
If you want to shake the position of Phantom box office champion, it is difficult!
Before you know it, the Phantom has grown into such a powerful company in South Korea, a monopoly that no one can shake the flag. And Lee Byung-hun and R, who took over the Phantom's new movie, are also secretly relieved, at least they have enough confidence. (To be continued.) )
