Bright Times' investment in "Sword Rain" plus publicity is 50 million, in fact, the shooting cost is only 30 million, and the remaining 20 million is smashed on publicity and distribution, in order to confront "Red Cliff", Bright Times also spent a lot of money.

The results are quite satisfactory, the box office in the first week is hundreds of millions, and it breaks 150 million in ten days, and the cost has been recovered, and the next thing is purely earning.

Although he didn't think about cooperating with Su Zhaobin in the future, he did contribute a lot to the movie, and everyone lost a lot of weight.

In the afternoon, I invited familiar media to come over for an interview, and in the evening, a small cocktail party was held in the company.

Su Zhaobin himself didn't expect "Sword Rain" to get such a high box office, you must know that it was Wu Yusen who competed in the same period, a god-like man in the film and television industry in Taiwan.

And the box office in the first week can reach 100 million yuan, equivalent to about NT$460 million.

He filmed "Silk" two years ago, with a total box office of NT$40 million, ranking 22nd in the history of Taiwan films.

The mainland market is really a treasure mine, and Su Zhaobin suddenly had the idea of wanting to stay in the mainland.

"Cancan, I really didn't expect that we would be able to make a draw with Wu Yusen." Jiang Meiying and Gu Cancan whispered, she was less than one meter six tall, and she had to tiptoe slightly when she reached Gu Cancan's ear.

Gu Cancan smiled: "It's not a tie, hasn't the box office of "Red Cliff" risen again in the past two days." ”

The words were full of disdain.

Han Sanbei bet on "Red Cliff", China Film invested more than 100 million, how could it be possible to make "Red Cliff" show a decline within a week of its release, the news and interviews with the main creator of "Red Cliff" have become more intensive in the past two days, and internal news All theaters have received guidance from China Film that they cannot reduce the proportion of "Red Cliff".

"It's a little ugly." Jiang Meiying complained.

"Hehe, I just hope I don't steal the box office on "Rain of Swords"." Gu Cancan said lightly.

Jiang Meiying sighed: "I really don't understand why Mr. Han values Wu Yusen so much, and does not hesitate to invest such a large amount of money to invite the director of Xiangjiang." There are a lot of directors in our mainland who are good at shooting big scenes, but there are many people in Xiangjiang and few places, and movies rarely show big scenes, and there is no production experience at all for movies with a heavy sense of history. ”

That is, in the company, Jiang Meiying looked around and there was no one, so she complained to Gu Cancan according to her heart, obviously Jiang Meiying was a little angry about the daily publicity.

Gu Cancan was silent, in fact, he was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Han in his heart.

Han Sanbei has made a great contribution to Chinese films, but at this stage, he attaches too much importance to the directors and actors of Xiangjiang Taiwan and praises them too highly.

As for Wu Yusen, Gu Cancan didn't like it even more.

The films of Xiangjiang and Taiwan have been brilliant, but with the rapid development of China, the mainland film market is expanding day by day, and the voice of actors and directors in the mainland is getting stronger and stronger.

How to put it, it is probably difficult for people who have experienced glory in everything to accept reality completely.

Therefore, there are a group of directors and actors in Xiangjiang who must work hard to revive Xiangjiang films.

Like the actor Andy Lau, whom Gu Cancan admires very much, he took out his savings for many years and made the "Asian Rising Star Director", and Ning Hao stood out in the "Asian Rising Star Guide".

However, the "Asian Rising Star Director" selected a total of ten directors, one from the mainland, one from the base, one from Singapore, and the remaining seven are all the new generation of Hong Kong.

In the end, only Ning Hao can be remembered.

Of course, this is understandable, Andy Lau himself is a native of Xiangjiang, and it is appropriate for people to bring their younger generations, and the revitalization of Xiangjiang movies Andy Lau not only said, but also did it himself, not hesitating to show real gold and white eyes.

Wu Yusen also wants to revitalize Hong Kong films, but he wants to use the mainland's money to revitalize Hong Kong and Taiwan films.

It's not that Gu Cancan slandered him, he really said this.

Director Wu is an open person, not only did he say so, but he did it.

Several of the protagonists in "Red Cliff" are basically stars of Xiangjiang Taiwan and even Japanese nationality.

Liang Chaowei plays Zhou Yu, and Jin Chengwu plays Zhuge Liang, after all, these two are also very popular stars, and Lin Zhiling plays Xiao Qiao Gu Cancan, I really can't figure it out.

Lin Zhiling's obviously curved Mandarin baby voice is really liked by so many people? In the movie, it is actually the original soundtrack.

What's even more nonsense is that Xiao Qiao is still the female number one, and Sun Shangxiang played by Zhao Wei has been suppressed.

Zhao Wei is in full swing in the mainland at this time, and "Painted Skin" Zhuyu has fiercely brushed a wave of national popularity and favorability in front of her, and it can be said that she is a first-line actress second only to Gong Lizhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.

For the time being, let's not talk about Zhao Wei's character and the black spots on her body, just talk about the coffee position, acting skills and popularity, which one is not beating Lin Zhiling?

What works did Lin Zhiling have before?

This is Lin Zhiling's first time acting in a movie, and as a result, one of the most popular female stars in the mainland gave her a supporting role?

Wu Yusen has gone too far in order to support the artists of Xiangjiang Taiwan.

And his hard work was indeed not in vain.

After the release of "Red Cliff", the audience saw that this Lin Zhiling was such a big name, even Xiaoyanzi had to play a supporting role for her, which was amazing, it was really a big star from Taiwan, but it was different!

After this battle, Lin Zhiling soared into the sky, and since then, she has cooperated with many big names one after another, completely gaining a firm foothold in the film industry, from a female model with no acting skills, gorgeously transformed into a first-line star, stepping on Zhao Wei's shoulders to take the position.

How can I say it, since the beginning of the new century, the film of Xiangjiang Taiwan has been in decline, and the directors and actors of the two places have to develop in the mainland, but they make money from the mainland, but they look down on the mainland and spoil the mainland actors.

They use almost all of this routine, using mainland money to make films, using the best actors in the mainland as supporting roles, and praising the people on their side.

Feng Xiaogang and Ge You have such an iron relationship, the queen actor, when filming "No Thieves in the World", when he met Andy Lau and Liu Ruoying, he still had to let Uncle Ge play the supporting role as the villain, and by the way, he pulled Li Bingbing to play the villain together.

The male number one in "Night Banquet" is Wu Yanzu, and Uncle Ge still plays his villain male number two.

In the eyes of the directors and actors of Xiangjiang Taiwan, this approach is appropriate, understandable, and deserved.

In their hearts, it is difficult for a movie, especially a film with a large investment, to recover its cost by relying on the domestic box office alone, and they must take more care of the overseas box office.

But when it comes to overseas, do mainland actors have appeal?

No!

Therefore, it is appropriate to use the actors of Xiangjiang Taiwan as the protagonists, and the actors from the mainland as the supporting roles.

But on the side of mainland filmmakers, it is really a bit deceitful.

Speaking of overseas fame, to be honest, mainland actors are indeed inferior to those well-known movie stars in Taiwan, which must be admitted.

If you just put up with those overseas stars who are popular, you can just put up with it, and mainland actors can also be drunk as supporting roles.

But Wu Yusen unceremoniously used the resources of the mainland to support the newcomers in Xiangjiang Taiwan, and stepped on the stars on the mainland side, which was too inauthentic.

In fact, because of this kind of dirty thing, the two sides don't know how much effort they have secretly compared.

After the release of "Red Cliff", Zhao Wei directly told reporters that he was deceived by Wu Yusen.

When Wu Yusen asked Zhao Wei to film, he said that Sun Shangxiang was the female number one, so she went to act, but the film was cut out, but she became the female number two.

This operation is really funny.

However, things can't be repeated again and again, and the directors and actors on the Xiangjiang side have repeatedly stepped on the mainland's people's positions, which has already aroused the anger of the mainland's actors, and the influence of the people in Xiangjiang is fading day by day.

"It's a pity that China Film has specially contacted and not allowed these to be hyped, otherwise with our influence on the Internet, we can provoke the anger of mainland netizens against those Hong Kong dishes in minutes." Jiang Meiying pouted.

Gu Cancan smiled: "Okay, it's okay now, let's just make a fortune quietly, after all, China Film has invested more than 100 million in "Red Cliff", and we will definitely not be allowed to make too many small moves." ”

"Mmmm, I'm worried about what the other party is doing right now." Jiang Meiying chatted with Gu Cancan for a while, thought about it and walked away.

Gu Cancan watched Jiang Meiying walk away, and couldn't help but smile, in fact, "Sword Rain" and "Red Cliff" have long been under no pressure, at least "Sword Rain" has returned to its original cost, looking at this momentum, the box office of 200 million is stable, but "Red Cliff" is more ugly.

It's not that the box office of "Sword Rain" will definitely exceed "Red Cliff", but the total cost of "Red Cliff" is there, Gu Cancan remembered that in the original time and space, there was no sniper of "Sword Rain", and the mainland box office of "Red Cliff" was only 360 million.

Regardless of "Red Cliff", Gu Cancan is thinking about how to maximize the benefits of "Sword Rain".

The neighboring countries of Southeast Asia must be released, and the acceptance of Chinese martial arts movies in these countries is okay, Gu Cancan doesn't have to worry about this, several movies released in the bright era have initially established channels for foreign Southeast Asian countries, and there is a certain way to launch "Sword Rain", which is nothing more than a matter of making more money and earning less.

Europe and the United States don't want to release Gu Cancan, and there is no channel yet.

However, although Chinese movies in Europe and the United States are not popular, even if they are released, only some Chinese people watch them, and Europe and the United States have a market that China does not have, the video market.

The video market is a long-term income, especially in the United States.

In China, the box office of movies has always been a one-shot deal, and after the movie is painted, the results are basically fixed.

But in the European and American film markets, what is more profitable is the movie peripherals, movie-related props, costumes, audio, souvenirs, etc. are all peripherals, of course, including the video market that Gu Cancan is pondering now, to be precise, it is called the home video product market.

Chinese martial arts movies still have a certain influence in Europe and the United States, thanks to Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, and Li Lianjie for making a great name for Chinese martial arts films.

Gu Cancan secretly pondered in his heart, just use the most acceptable Chinese martial arts films for Europeans and Americans as a stepping stone, start with the video, knock on the door of the European and American markets, pave the way for the works of the bright era in the future, and clear some obstacles to entering the European and American markets in the future.

However, in this case, it will cost money, and there will be no corresponding manpower, so you have to recruit people, and it is better to set up a subsidiary to deal with related matters.

Her mind was racing, and she had already begun to think about the development ideas of the upper echelons.

At this time, Lu Yang came over.

"Mr. Gu." Lu Yang raised the glass in his hand high.

"Lu Dao." Gu Cancan also raised the cup in his hand.

Lu Yang said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, congratulations, "Sword Rain" can be said to be a big hit. ”

"Speaking so politely, do you have something to ask me?" Gu Cancan smiled and said jokingly.

Lu Yangchang is slightly stronger and limited than Ma Yun, in fact, he is quite suitable for being a special type in the entertainment industry, but people have to have a special face but have to rely on their talent to eat, and the script written has passed the review of the bright times and the Film Bureau, and the project has been approved, and now it is in the stage of selecting actors to prepare the crew.

"Mr. Gu, don't actors really need to bend in Xiangjiangtai?" Lu Yang hesitated for a long time, but still asked.

"Embroidered Spring Knife" also has investment from China Film.

Even if Gu Cancan knows that the reputation of "Embroidered Spring Knife" will not be bad, he still has to bring in other film companies to co-produce it, even if their investment is very small, they must bring it, and now it is a trend for the Chinese film market to co-produce.

China Film recommended Zhang Zhen.

Originally, Gu Cancan also liked Zhang Zhen, and he was Shen Lian in the original "Embroidered Spring Knife".

However, when "Sword Rain" was promoted, Zhang Zhen decisively stood on the side of "Red Cliff", and he didn't care about the publicity of "Sword Rain" at all, which made Gu Cancan very dissatisfied.

There are many mainland actors with acting skills and good looks, why do you have to choose him.

"Well, I used to work very happily with Mr. Jin Shijie, so I sent an invitation to Mr. Jin and invited him to play Wei Zhongxian." Gu Cancan remembered that Wei Zhongxian played by the original Jin Shijie was very classic, and this role could be given to Jin Shijie.

"Yes, Mr. Jin Shijie's acting skills should be no problem." Lu Yang also had a draft in his heart, and he agreed with Gu Cancan's proposal, "So among the three protagonists, how about Wang Kai play Shen Lian?" ”

"Wang Kai's temperament is not cold enough, it is more suitable for him to play the third season of Yichuan." Gu Cancan is also a little worried, the strength of several actors signed by the bright era is okay, but there is really no suitable for Shen Lian.

"Let's talk about the boss Lu Jianxing first, Lu Jianxing I think Wang Qianyuan is very good, just use Wang Qianyuan." As an investor, Gu Cancan has confidence when he speaks.

Wang Qianyuan has been signed by the Bright Times, his original economic company was not famous, and he is not too famous now, and the Bright Times bought out Wang Qianyuan's economic contract without spending too much money.

For the company's newly invested films, the first choice is, of course, to select actors from within the company.

However, the first in line is that the actor must match the temperament of the character, Shen Lian is the absolute protagonist, the original Zhang Zhen was passed by Gu Cancan, so who to choose to play, for a while, Gu Cancan really had no idea.

The other main actors can be set, the eldest of the three brothers, Wang Qianyuan, and the third Wang Kai.

Ding Xiu and Gu Cancan have asked people to contact Zhou Yiwei, the original Ding Xiu is very amazing, if you can, it's still Zhou Zhouwei.
