Chapter 234
In the next few days, the number of films scheduled for "Heartbreaker" increased steadily, and by the fifth day, the number of films had reached 48%, just replacing the share of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
However, the box office of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" has also reached 290 million in two weeks, and the income must have been earned, but there is "Heartbreaker" first, followed by "Under the Red Cliff" and "Crazy Racing", and by the Spring Festival, there will be "People in Embarrassment", and it can be expected that the box office of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" will probably end within 400 million.
The daily box office of "Heartbreaker" has stabilized at about 40 million, and it can be maintained for at least three days, and the box office in the first week can reach about 250 million, which amazes all film and television people, and if this trend continues, it is just around the corner to break the record of 430 million box office of "Titanic".
Of course, this is according to the current trend, and as soon as the movie is released, the schedule of "Heartbreaker" will drop suddenly, so it is unknown whether it can break the record of "Titanic" in the end.
Han Sanping regretted it, he knew that "Heartbreaker" was so popular with the audience, he would definitely negotiate the release time with Gu Cancan, stagger the release peak of the Chinese New Year, and would not allow the malicious sniping of "Under the Red Cliff".
Feng Xiaogang and the Huayi Wang brothers were in a bad mood.
Originally, the momentum of "Do Not Disturb" after the release of "If You Are Honest" made them overjoyed, but they didn't expect that after the release of "Heartbreaker", the box office of "Do Not Disturb" plummeted by more than half. γ
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, and the Liang Zi of Huayi and the bright era is over.
In fact, even if "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" dives at the box office, its income is still very considerable, this movie is an urban comedy, the advertisements in it are dense, Feng Xiaogang arranged it very naturally, at least it will not make the audience feel uncomfortable, only the advertising costs, are about to earn back the shooting costs.
"Heartbreaker" has such a strong momentum that even Wu Yusen has to pay attention to it.
He himself thinks that "Red Cliff" is a magnificent historical masterpiece, and frankly speaking, the shots and pictures can indeed be called a masterpiece, but the story is a mess, even if it is a big production that smashes hundreds of millions of dollars, it still can't get rid of the background of the Xiangjiang gangster film, Cao Cao personally went on the stage to hold a woman hostage, do you dare to believe it?
Wu Yusen also knows that the reputation of "Red Cliff" in the mainland has collapsed, and he has no confidence in how much box office "Under the Red Cliff" can collect in the mainland, even if he can get the same box office as the previous part, it is not enough to make up for the production cost of this film, and the loss has become a foregone conclusion.
So in this time and space, Lao Wu did not stay cold anymore, and he also cooperated with the promotion of China Film, frequently appeared in various programs, and worked hard to build momentum for "Under the Red Cliff". γ
Open the entertainment news, basically all about the news of these movies, interviews and variety shows, everywhere, and the hot search keywords on Weibo are related to these movies.
On the movie LΓΉn TΓ‘n, the audience was even more enthusiastic.
"Director Feng played against Gu Cancan, this time it was Gu Cancan who won. Does it mean that a new generation of directors has grown up? β
"It's a bit early to say this now, how many movies has Feng Xiaogang made, and how many movies has Gu Cancan made?"
"Seriously, "Do Not Disturb" is very good, but after watching Feng's comedy for so many years, I am also tired of it. Gu Cancan is different, she makes movies of all genres, which I think is stronger than Feng Xiaogang. β
"Feng Xiaogang is not just a comedy, isn't his "Assembly" and "Night Banquet" not bad, isn't it ashamed to say that Gu Cancan is stronger than Feng Xiaogang now?"
"Just rushed to Gu Cancan to shoot "The Heartbreaker", and I stood on her side. There are so many big directors, does anyone dare to make sci-fi? β
"Pull it down, Gu Cancan has never made war movies and costume films."
"What's the point of discussing this, it's better to predict who will be the box office champion."
""If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is out of play, but "Heartbreaker" is a little hopeful."
"Weakly, where did you put Wu Yusen, Director Wu is a man who has made several movies in Hollywood."
"And then a 'Wind Whisperer' that bankrupted MGM?"
"And then a 'Wind Whisperer' that bankrupted MGM? +1β
"And then a 'Wind Whisperer' that bankrupted MGM? +2β
"To be honest, Lao Wu's level is there, I think "Red Cliff" is very well filmed, and it has a sense of epic."
"Upstairs can be pulled down, there is a sense of epic hair, Lao Wu does have a sense of gangster filming, but filming history also uses gangster techniques, and several leaders actually get together to confront each other, this is epic?"
"I don't have any expectations for "Under the Red Cliff" anyway, what's the use of telling the story badly and looking good."
"I think the story is very good, Director Wu is not a documentary, who stipulates that the Three Kingdoms must be filmed according to the book."
"That is, "Red Cliff" is directed by Wu Yusen, so many big-name acting stars, I stand Wu Yusen."
"Tsk, isn't "On the Red Cliff" enough to slap your face? I bet on a pack of spicy strips, the box office of "Under the Red Cliff" can't compare to "The Sadder". β
"I'll add another pack."
"Stud five packs, Wu Yusen wins."
"Have you all forgotten about Ning Hao? Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" will be released in less than two weeks. β
"Yes, yes, the ghost talent Ning Hao should not be underestimated."
"The starring Huang Bo is not very famous, I don't think the box office will be high."
"Just kidding, Ning Hao's movies start at least 200 million, anyway, after watching "Crazy Stone", I will become a fan of Ning Hao, and I will definitely go to the cinema to support his new movie."
"Yes, maybe this year's dark horse is Ning Hao."
This time, China Film Huayi made concerted efforts in the bright era, and the ghost talent Ning Hao participated, plus the reputation of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "The Sadder" were good, and the box office was also powerful, which completely aroused people's enthusiasm for watching movies, and even people who usually don't go to the cinema to watch movies have actively or passively accepted a lot of information about Chinese New Year movies.
However, the battlefield has obviously been put on the fight of these four movies, and the other movies released during the Lunar New Year basically did not even make a splash.
Seven days have passed, "Heartbreaker" has naturally won the box office champion of this week, and the weekly box office is only 30 million away from "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and the reversal is just around the corner!
"Heartbreaker" is a big production for the bright era, with a production cost of 35 million, almost 15 million publicity expenses plus injuries, and the overall cost is as high as more than 50 million, but it has been paid back after a week.
There is no doubt about defeating the king of the Chinese New Year, Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", it depends on whether the next sniper from "Under the Red Cliff" can continue to maintain this high box office.
The media and major websites are cheering for the success of "The Sadder", Chinese movies are too old and need fresh blood.
Xinlang Entertainment reported in a big way: "The counterattack of young directors. Gu Cancan's New Year stall is unstoppable! β
Tengxun Entertainment wrote: "The storm of youth is coming, and "The Heartbreaker" makes Huaxia cry! β
After reporting on last week's box office, "Huaxia Film News" commented: "2008 is a particularly meaningful year for Chinese films. At the beginning of the year, Gu Cancan used "Buried Alive" to let us know what a small-cost miracle is. Just when we all thought that this miracle was unrepeatable, in 2009 she appeared again with "The Heartbreaker". This seems to be a loud signal, telling us that young directors are coming, and the spring of Chinese films is coming. β
Whether the spring of Chinese movies is coming, Gu Cancan doesn't know, but on the weekend, the high-definition resources of "Heartbreaker" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" suddenly appeared on the Internet on a large scale!
It's either a stolen film, or a copy version that flowed out of the theater, with a patch ad at the beginning.
The piracy industry in China is a cancer, and it is difficult to eradicate it, and there are at least 10 million people attached to this black industry chain to suck blood.
This is probably the reason why the state has not vigorously cracked down?
In fact, three days after the release, whether it was "The Sadder" or "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", the pirated resources flowed out, but the TS version has not had a great impact on the release of the movie, and the vast majority of people can't stand the kind of pirated version that is dangling and noisy, and the time for coercion is not time.
But the clarity of theatrical streaming is no different from watching it in a cinema, and this version of piracy is enough to kill a movie that is being released.
Hua Yi was furious, and Feng Xiaogang held a press conference and sprayed angrily.
"I once saw director Niu Chengze encounter piracy on the first day of the release of "LoVe", even when he attended the premiere, he couldn't help but scold with a black face first, and then talk about the movie. I can especially understand this feeling, I have been scolding piracy for many years. We've all been robbed and raped by pirates, countless times, and until now they're still on me, it's okay......"
Journalists were boiling.
Gu Cancan and the main creative team were promoting in Guangzhou, and a reporter suddenly asked on the spot: "Director Gu, in the morning, Director Feng Xiaogang scolded piracy, saying that he had been pirated and raped. What do you think of Director Feng's remarks? β
Among them, the word "wheel, rape" he bit very hard.
Hearing his words, everyone present was shocked.
Director Feng Xiaogang is really an iron-blooded man, he dares to say anything.
Gu Cancan was also stunned for a moment.
However, she had heard Feng Xiaogang's astonishing remarks countless times in the original time and space, and she already had a magic resistance, and soon extracted the keyword "piracy" from the reporter's words.
"I don't know if what you said was the original thing, even if it was the original word, I don't know what situation he said it, so I don't want to express my opinion on this. But there's one thing I think we should agree on, and that's that piracy is really destroying industries. β
"As for piracy, our legal department has been paying attention to it and has found one case of complaint. In fact, there have been pirated versions of "Heartbreaker" since the third day of its release, but yesterday it appeared on the Internet in high definition, which is really a very hateful thing. β
"With regard to piracy, this kind of thing must be eradicated, because piracy has hit the industry harder than imagined.
Supporting genuine behavior is not only helping creators, but also helping yourself!
For example, more than ten years ago, people were not ashamed of pirated games, and they took it for granted. Then, that batch of excellent domestic games died of piracy, so that today, domestic games lag behind foreign countries. But after the masses have a genuine consciousness, a number of relatively excellent game works began to emerge. β
"Another chestnut, now many people are slamming online articles like, which is actually related to piracy. The masses are not aware of the genuine version of the online text, and now more than nine or five out of ten people are rightly watching pirated copies, so many authors have chosen to make up the number of words to receive the subsistence, no way, the author also wants to eat! β
Gu Cancan said a lot, obviously she also hated piracy.
"That's right,Here's a little knowledge for everyone,Like this time"Sadser" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" The high-definition pirated version that flowed out was a transcoded version leaked from the theater,It's very simple to check if you pirate in the theater,The digital film screen played in the theater contains digital watermarks,This is a function that comes with the projection server and can't be closed,When any film is played, it will be automatically superimposed into the picture,It can't be seen by the naked eye,But it can be displayed by technical meansγ The content of the digital watermark includes the unique code of the theater projection server, which is recorded, which can be specific to which theater and several halls, and the film playback time can be specific to the year, month, day, hour, minute and second, and then combined with the theater schedule on the day and the monitoring of the theater and computer room, it is easy to figure out whether it is screened during non-business hours and the relevant responsible person. This is a criminal act, and I advise the person concerned to turn himself in. β
"I appeal to everyone again, and I still hope that everyone will go to the cinema to watch movies, especially "Sadder", because this is a science fiction film, and many special effects can only be fully felt on the big screen."
When it comes to piracy, Gu Cancan couldn't help but say a few more words.
In the evening, there were media reports, although it was not as shocking as Feng Xiaogang, but the tone and words were quite harsh.
As Gu Cancan said, this high-definition piracy has a clear tracking path, and after the bright era was discovered, it began to analyze it as soon as it was discovered, and then called the police.
But even if the leakers of piracy can be caught soon, piracy will already be rampant.
Under such circumstances, "Under the Red Cliff" was released.
"Under the Red Cliff" was released, which directly accounted for 40% of the film schedule, "Heartbreaker" was reduced to 30%, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" was reduced to 15%, and the remaining films shared 15%.
"If You Are the One, Do Not Disturb" seems to have suffered the biggest blow, but it has been in theaters for half a month, and the box office should fall back normally, and the film schedule will fall further in the future.
This Chinese New Year file is really popular, "Under the Red Cliff" was released for three days, and the box office also exceeded 100 million.
However, what followed was an overwhelming wave of criticism and ridicule on the Internet.
Even the print media couldn't help but secretly ridicule Wu Yusen's small pattern, even though there were epic pictures, but he still filmed this well-known battle into a fight between the three major gangs.
Three days later, the word-of-mouth of "Under the Red Cliff" plunged wildly, and the box office also plunged sharply.
The theater chain doesn't care whether you are a master or not, whether you are an internationally renowned director or not, and the reputation and attendance rate of the movie are unsatisfactory, so you immediately began to adjust the film schedule.
"The Heartbreaker" has risen instead of falling, and by Friday, it has surpassed "Under the Red Cliff", and the box office is even more pressing "Under the Red Cliff".
A week later, "Under the Red Cliff" received 190 million box office, and "Crazy Racing" is about to be released, which can be said to be a must.
