794: Big Names High Profile

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

In Chinese mainland, the box office results in the first week of September were not too good, with a total box office of about 170 million, and the entire mainland box office market is still weak. Several box office blockbusters "Captain America", "Blue Jīng Ling", and "Cars 2" have tepid results, and "Eavesdropping 2" did not have Li Donglai to join, and the actor who replaced him was replaced by Wu Yanzu, which also achieved gratifying results of 210 million.

"Captain America" obviously does not quite conform to the beauty appreciation style of the Chinese people, with half a word-of-mouth and a bad review like cháo. But it can still dominate the mainland box office for two consecutive championships. Han Geng's first starring movie "Da Wusheng" is even more of a mess for the audience, maybe only his loyal fans will cheer for it, but the box office appeal is obviously not sustainable.

On the sluggish mainland box office list, the only bright spot is "The Abyss of Death", a low-key 3D film, under the premise that the film publicity and star appeal are not very prominent, actually achieved a box office reversal, and won the runner-up in the box office list last week with a score of 35.8 million, with a total box office of 57.8 million. With a reverse decline of 62%, this box office result is only less than 700,000 less than the champion "Captain America", which almost overturned "Captain America" and became the dark horse champion last week.

In the case of the overall weakness of the released films, "The Abyss of Death" has somewhat picked up a bargain. Of course, first of all, the quality of the film is relatively good, compared with the bad reviews of films such as "Captain America" and "Da Wusheng", this film has received good reviews for its 3D effect.

The mainland box office list is really not very interesting. The list is often dominated by Hollywood movies, and domestic films rarely show their faces.

The Phantom's high-level results in South Korea were transmitted back to China early. The company founded by Lee Dong-lai has developed into a film company that dominates the top of the Korean film box office in just two or three years, and has been praised by the Chinese media as a miracle. Even some of the media are even more wild. Dominate the Korean film market. This is decisive high-grade black, but the Phantom never dares to admit it.

In such an environment, Chinese people are looking forward to phantoms more and more.

The only regret is that "Uncle" was released in China in the summer and has already been painted. In the end, it only won 20 million at the box office, which is equivalent to about 3.4 billion won, and did not achieve the desired results. "Speeding Scandal" scored a little better. It's only 25 million, and from the perspective of the phantom, it's obviously a failure.

But the South Korean media don't think so. This result is obviously acceptable to them. Unlike the Chinese media's "Phantom Capture the Korean Market", the first time a Korean film has won such a box office in Chinese mainland, it has inspired a group of Korean filmmakers. The always arrogant South Korean media even shouted the slogan of "seizing the Chinese mainland market."

But the two sides want to achieve the capture of each other's film market. The gap is obviously not ordinarily large.

The Asian market has huge potential, and Europe and the United States have long analyzed that if this market is really developed, it will become the world's largest box office market. However, for so many years of film development, except for the golden age of Xiangjiang in the 80s, which almost monopolized the entire Asian foreign market, it is difficult to dominate the Asian market due to cultural differences and international disputes. It also invisibly weakens the potential of the Asian market.

Phantom is the only film company that has achieved such dazzling results in China and South Korea. Li Donglai's appeal. It is even more of the world's.

And after a series of dazzling achievements of Phantom, the Chinese media is expecting Phantom to represent China and become the seventh largest film company in Hollywood.

Historically, there are only six major studios in Hollywood, including Warner Bros. Pictures, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Sony/Columbia Pictures, Disney Pictures, and Universal Pictures.

As for MGM, New Line, Paramount Advantage and other film companies that fans are familiar with, some have been acquired, such as Sony annexed MGM in 2005, and Warner ate New Line in 2008. Some are subsidiaries of large companies that specialize in distributing small films, such as Paramount Advantage, Fox Searchlight, Focus Pictures (owned by Universal), etc. Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment are small films, but they all have unique survival secrets, such as Lionsgate Pictures occupies a certain market share by releasing small horror films (such as the "Chainsaw" series) every year, and Summit Entertainment has recently emerged with "Twilight".

As for Weinstein Pictures, which has distributed films such as "Inglourious Basterds", it originally belonged to Disney, and it was not until 2005 that Weinstein Pictures successfully "redeemed", and now it has also become Dúlì's own film company.

This is in addition to the phantom that has sprung up, Hollywood's most active film companies at present, although they have their own characteristics, but in general, the vast majority of the annual income of the film industry is harvested by the top six film companies.

It's not impossible to expect Phantom to become Hollywood's seventh-largest studio.

Starting from the high profits of "Source Code", the two parts of the "Hangover" series made a lot of 1.3 billion US dollars, and the three series are comparable to "Twilight", and the investment cost is obviously much smaller. The highest-grossing 3D "Inception" set a global box office record of $2.3 billion. The cartoon "Kung Fu Panda" is another billion-dollar behemoth.

In addition, the "Due Date" table is excellent, and the ambitious "Hunger Games" series that is being filmed takes over the baton, acquiring the hit game "Assassin's Creed" to chase "World of Warcraft".

In the next two years, there may not be the strength to snatch the top of the box office for the whole year.

The highly anticipated China's first pseudo-documentary "Super Runaway" was launched under this expectation.

At the previous start-up press conference, the three leading actors appeared one by one, and many media came to cheer. The "Prince of Thailand" Nikun even publicly admitted that he was of Chinese descent, which made many Chinese media proud. Of course, it is not the purpose to make you proud, but to be proud is to be recognized, this is the purpose.

Li Donglai did not attend the press conference, and then the movie was officially launched in the magic capital. In addition, most of the scenes of the movie have to be filmed in Xiangjiang. Even Xi-Tibet is one of the filming locations.

Xiangjiang has always been a mecca for filming, firstly because of its urban environment. It is more in line with the needs of urban films, and the second is that it has a coveted low tax policy for movies. In order to save money, there is no shortage of international blockbusters who often come here to shoot.

In the case of the Phantom. This is the first time.

The charm of directing "Super Out of Control", even if it is not China's first pseudo-documentary, is irresistible to heraldry. Even if he is not the only director of this film.

His preparation was not inadequate, and in order to make this film, he turned down many plans and invitations. But a few days before filming began, things didn't go well. It doesn't seem to have found a state yet, the director is. The same is true for the actors, and the same is true for the crew......

Fortunately, on this day, Li Donglai, who had been absent for a long time, finally appeared on the set.

Morning. The cast and crew who came to the crew were all startled, because a large number of paparazzi suddenly poured around. Including Ni Kun, Ke Zhengdong, Lin Gengxin and others are curious, what is the situation?

Not only did the paparazzi suddenly become more active, but even the crew had some loose staff a few days ago. It also suddenly became positive. I found out after asking. Li Donglai's Phantom private business jet landed at the capital airport yesterday and will come to the set today.

Brother Donglai, who has not returned to China for a long time, has finally returned, and this is also his first return to China after winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and the Oscar for Best Screenplay for the second time, no wonder the media are so excited.

In the filming of the film, most of the shots are taken on location and in real life, but there are also a lot of shots that need to be completed before the green cloth. Added to the post-compositing effects. This is also a big challenge to the actors' acting skills, and the crew has set up a studio in the crew in advance.

And didn't wait long. When most of the paparazzi were still staring at the road vehicles in the distance, a dark shadow suddenly flew into the sky. A cool black sè helicopter, hovering with powerful propeller blades, flew around overhead, and then fell straight to the parking place outside the crew. The powerful whirlwind blew and the paparazzi who wanted to come up and take pictures dodged one after another.

After circling a few times, the helicopter landed steadily towards the parking space. The location is unbiased, and obviously the posture technique jīng Zhan. After landing, the propeller gradually stopped, and its wings drooped like a dragonfly.

The door was pushed open, and Li Donglai, who was wearing sunglasses, took off his helmet, pushed open the cabin door and jumped off. Rodro, who had been waiting for a long time in the distance, greeted him and looked at him with wide eyes, "Brother, there are reporters here, you are too high-profile." ”

Li Donglai smiled, put his arm around his shoulders and walked in, "It's not that I haven't driven before, your brother and I will fly to the Oscars." It doesn't matter if he's high-profile or not. ”

Rodro was speechless, and the paparazzi in the distance finally reacted, paused from frantically pressing the shutter, and then swarmed in, "Mr. Li Donglai, can you give an interview?" "Can you tell me what model this plane is and when you bought it?" "Mr. Li Donglai, you are driving a helicopter to film, is it too high-profile to show off your wealth......

They saw that Li Donglai didn't take off his sunglasses and strode into a meteor, and they didn't seem to be interviewed. Unexpectedly, Li Donglai suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Then let's talk." It's just a helicopter, there's nothing to show off your wealth, and you've not seen me fly it. How many assets I have, media friends have exposed it too many times, and many people know it. ”

"Custom-built aircraft are not accidental, they are needed for work. To borrow a goblin quote 'Time is money, my friend'. I've had enough of being late at the airport from time to time, and buying a high-speed transportation tool is a must. As you all know, it takes a long time to order this thing to arrive, and I placed my order more than half a year in advance, and it only arrived some time ago. Moreover, the policy is gradually being relaxed, and as a means of transportation, it will not cost more than some luxury cars. There are not a few private helicopters in China, there is nothing unusual. ”

"I just want to reflect a few things from my friends in the media, in the United States, private jets have a huge market. China has a continent the size of the United States and has a larger population, but the authorities apparently haven't paid much attention to this huge market. The approval process for the aircraft to be in the sky is also too cumbersome, and it is still necessary to go through the approval process again and again to apply for different temporary airspace. As a means of transportation, private jets inevitably have to change the airspace frequently, and the management of the general aviation industry has multiple decentralized management, a waste of time and energy, and a lack of management policies to stimulate the rapid development of the market. ”

After finishing speaking, he walked in with his arm around the fat man's shoulders, not giving the reporters time to reflect.
