Chapter 371
""Alien", "Curse", "Legend of Gods and Ghosts", "Resident Evil" follow-up, "Jurassic Park", "Huaxia No. 1", these movies should also be made in the next two years, although a few of them have average box office, but they are also ready for the future......"
"Except for "Alien" and "Huaxia No. 1", there are no other scripts, so send brief information to the screenwriting team and let them write ......"
"Next year's main tasks are "Transformers 2", "Fast and Furious 3" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 3", and most of the personnel can continue to use the original actors. "Jurassic Park" don't waste the theme, let's wait until next year to make it, with 3D. There must be a lot of 3D movies that will be released at the end of this year and next year, so there is no need to fight with them. ”
""Transformers 2", "Fast and Furious 3" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 3", the 3 series of movies with large scenes and relatively large investment must need 3D shooting to truly reflect their excitement, plus "Iron Man" and "Thor", a total of 5 3D, so the 3D team needs to continue to expand, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the production of 5 3D movies."
"The rest of the idle funds will be invested in other scripts, and try to try to release 30 films produced by our own company in 2010."
Lin Mu has a habit of using A4 white paper to put on the table, slowly write some things on it, and then slowly organize it.
In this way, the 2010 film investment plan, which involved tens of billions of yuan, was newly released.
Lin Mu reorganized it, wrote it in the email, and sent it to Bi Han. Let him worry about it.
————————————————
On December 20, "Transformers 2" was officially announced.
With the great success of "Transformers 1". The ad insertion of "Transformers 2" is like a huge and delicious cake that attracts countless merchants.
Advertisements for watches, jewelry, computers, etc. are considered ordinary, and even underwear manufacturers have come.
But it's not hard for our incredibly smart team at all. Soon there was a plot of the heroine wearing panties. All kinds of messy and frenzied product placement advertisements made people stunned and won nearly 80 million advertising revenue for the movie.
As for the car or something, because the main King Kongs such as Bumblebee and Optimus Prime have been finalized in the first part, they have not received much product placement advertising in this area.
At the launch conference, no guests were invited, but reporters from many well-known media at home and abroad were invited.
As the opening ceremony of the second part of "Transformers", which received a terrifying $1.7 billion super high box office, it naturally touched the hearts of countless fans who are looking forward to the release of the second part, so the media of international entertainment newspapers will not let go of this big news opportunity, and "Transformers" now has this qualification.
Most of the actors of "Transformers 2" took over the first part. So reporters can interview the characters in the movie here, and Hu Bugui and Megan Fox, who play the male and female leads, naturally accepted most of the media's firepower.
The two of them talked and laughed with the media on the surface, but they were extremely uncalm inside.
"It's the Los Angeles Times, a major newspaper in North America, I'm so excited!!"
“oh~my~god!! Even "The Hollywood Reporter" is here!! ”
"EU, Japan, India...... It's all here!! ”
Both were thrilled by the excitement of these passionate journalists.
And the other actors were not snubbed by many media, and eagerly went up for interviews before the opening ceremony began.
And most of these actors are taking care of this world-class interview for the first time, and they are inevitably excited, so they try to show their best side to reporters during the interview.
In addition to reporters, there were also several uninvited guests. And the most conspicuous is obviously the boss of Longyun Group, when he heard the start-up. Not far away, he personally ran over to cheer. And there is only one reason that prompted the CEO to do this, and he is grateful.
With the continuous release of "Transformers" around the world, the Bumblebee sports car, which is loved by countless fans, has begun to become popular all over the world. The price of Bumblebee is not expensive, only 300,000 soft girl coins. It is a low-end product in sports cars, and many die-hard fans really want to have a car like this because of Bumblebee, and it is also a lot of face to drive out.
So at this time, orders from all over the world continue to float to China like snowflakes. Longyun Group was jubilant. What is even happier is that the U.S. auto market, which has always been stubborn, has also successfully opened its doors because of this 'bumblebee', and Longyun Group has successfully completed the layout of the global market at this time.
After worshipping God. Press conference on the launch of the whip corpse.
Michael Bay was beaming, expressing his confidence in all the reporters in non-standard Mandarin. But when the boot press conference is over. Michael Bay said to Lin Mu: "It's so stressful right now!" ”
Lin Mu understands that "Transformers" has done a good job in terms of combat, editing, 3D, and special effects, and has been widely praised by fans around the world, and the box office is so high, so Michael is afraid that the second part will be smashed, and he will become a joker in the film industry.
Lin Mu smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "No need to do this, I've already read the script you changed, it's very good." I think you can do it better than the first one. When you look at the "Fast and Furious" series, didn't you think it was difficult to catch up with the first part when the second part was filmed? But the results are not very satisfying to the fans? Let go and do a big job, money, manpower, I fully support!! ”
Lin Mu patted Michael on the shoulder to show his full support.
After all, Michael Bay is a Hollywood director who has seen the storm, and after Lin Mu made a promise, he also smoothly adjusted his mentality.
"Thai Embarrassment" still grabbed more than 30% of the box office under the attack of Hollywood blockbusters and European films.
On December 24th, before Christmas, another film from Hope Film and Television Company was officially released.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", a war film costing 80 million......
War films are rarely made by film companies, and they belong to a relatively out-of-the-way genre. And usually the box office performance is average.
However, this was labeled as 'forest concern' when it was promoted, and it was the first war film made by Hope Film and Television Company. So on the day of its release, many professional film critics and media writers bought tickets to watch it in the cinema.
Although it is more out of the way, but because of the Christmas day. Therefore, the movie theater is full of fans who want to buy tickets for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which is very lively, and many people are going to promote it.
At the beginning of the movie, it is a misty fog, and a group of female students are constantly running on a rotten road full of fog, gunsmoke, corpses, and fireworks.
Wheezing, panicked footsteps, gunshots, artillery fire......
A voice with a Nanjing accent came: "After more than 20 days of bombing, Nanjing was completely broken by the Japanese army, and that was December 13, 1937. I remember that all the people were running that day, as if they would never be able to escape the fog......"
"At this time. Nanjing no longer has any ability to resist, and all that is left is to flee for their lives......"
As soon as the scene opened, the audience in the entire theater felt the cruelty and heaviness of war, and the dim colors and fog pressed on the hearts of all the audience like a big stone.
Then an American, two schoolgirls, and a Japanese soldier met.
Then a detachment of Kuomintang* soldiers encountered a squad of Japanese troops with armored vehicles, and a fierce grab began.
Bullets flew by. The sound of the concussion was like a bullet grazing the ears, and the occasional explosion also made the audience feel the tragedy of the war.
After a fierce battle, except for Instructor Li and a young man soldier, everyone died.
I don't know how long it's been since I've seen a war movie. Costume, Urban, Sci-Fi...... I watch no less than twenty films a year in each genre, but war films. I don't know how many years I haven't seen it.
As soon as the movie opens, the audience is captivated and feels like they are in a place of purgatory from which there is no escape.
That kind of hesitation......
That panic......
That fear......
That kind of pain......
The money-oriented American came to a church. The schoolgirls escaped and entered the church to hide from the Japanese soldiers. Instructor Li, who survived the battle, dragged a seriously wounded soldier into the church. Soon after. A group of prostitutes/women came to the church.
An American pretending to be a priest to save people, a group of schoolgirls hiding in a church, 14 prostitutes fleeing the fighting, and soldiers and wounded soldiers who are fighting to the death. Four people with different destinies came to the same place at this moment.
And outside. All of them were Japanese soldiers slaughtered all over the city.
Soon, the schoolgirls got into a fight with the prostitute/girl because of a conflict of ideas. Schoolgirls despise the profession of prostitutes, while prostitutes/girls don't like schoolgirls.
Just when they were noisy. Japanese soldiers stormed the church.
The prostitutes/girls hid in the secret room, just as they wanted to take the schoolgirls into the secret room. The Japanese soldiers saw it. In order not to implicate these prostitutes, the female students had to go the other way.
The Americans went through a human struggle, and finally gritted their teeth and pretended to be a priest, and roared at the Japanese soldiers.
And in order to lure away the Japanese, Instructor Li finally died heroically.
The priest used the excuse of singing an ode to the gods and dragged the Japanese.
In the end, the Japanese army forcibly recruited female students to perform for the Japanese army at the celebration party. Everyone knows that this will be a road of no return. The female students did not want to be bullied/humiliated by the Japanese army, and prepared to commit suicide en masse*, but in the end they were rescued by the prostitutes/girls led by Yumo.
"I just don't think it's worth it, people won't let us in, they think we're dirty, and now they're going to die for them."
"Don't talk about whether it's worth it or not, if it wasn't for the little girl who lured the little devil away that day, we would all have died."
"Do you know what we've been saying since ancient times?"
"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings after the river / Courtyard flower."
"We're just going to do something that stands up to the sky. Change this ancient infamy. ”
When the prostitutes/women took off their prostitutes/women's clothes and revealed their delicate skin, the audience did not feel any lust, but felt a kind of sadness and anger.
Changed into a school uniform and danced. The singing is low, they are prostitutes/women, but they are like lotus flowers coming out of the mud, white and flawless, like new life.
These 13 prostitutes, dressed in school uniforms and carrying homemade glass knives, go to a tragic death appointment in place of the schoolgirls in the church.
The whole movie is full of depression, without any jokes to spice up the atmosphere, and all the audience's hearts seem to be blocked.
Until the end of the movie, there was no noise or applause from all the audience.
There was no sound, there was a faint sobbing, and all the audience left quietly......
The reviews of the movie are slower than any other movie......
"This is a movie that has blocked me, and it has made my good mood for a day go away......"
"I slept very late last night. The reason is that I can't sleep. There have always been all kinds of complicated feelings in my heart, mainly heaviness. Suddenly there were a lot of questions. It's about humanity, it's about the Japanese, it's about war. I pulled someone to tell me the history, why Nanjing was the worst, and how China won later. As if he had studied history in vain, he diluted the concept of the War of Resistance against Japan to the point of forgetting that the war had been fought for 8 years. ”
"It's the only film I've cried from beginning to end in the cinema in many years, and when I saw little George asking to dress up as a girl on behalf of a schoolgirl to go to the Japanese invitation, I even went from silent tears to sobbing."
"This is only about 20 ...... of 300,000 in Nanjing's painful history"
"This film is like "Hotel Rwanda" is to the Tutsi and "Katyn Massacre" is to the history of Poland, it is no longer just a movie, it is about the history of Nanjing, the history of China, ......"
"There is hatred in tears, sometimes heavy, sometimes depressed, sometimes moving, I don't know how many years this is the best war movie."
"How beautiful she is, from the first sight, she is stunning, calm, charming, and I have seen pity. The red lips and the cheongsam with printed brocade are graceful and pretty, without losing the grace of a Qinhuai River woman. ”
During the Christmas season, most of the entire film market is showing this funny, light-hearted or gorgeous and exciting movie, and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is like a white swan that does not fit with the ducks, heavy and sharp, piercing this joyful festival.
It is like a dark horse, disturbing the joyful Christmas day, and the strange peaks are prominent.
The box office is rising, spreading more and more, and it is getting hotter and hotter.
On the third day, its box office began to buck the trend, cutting down many domestic and foreign blockbusters step by step.
On December 28, it directly topped the box office with 47 million and won the daily box office champion.
On December 29th, December 30th, and December 31st, he won the championship for four consecutive days!!
If it weren't for the release of several other new movies on January 1, which cut its scheduling rate, it is estimated that the high box office will continue.
And "Huaxia Film Weekly" used the entire first page of the newspaper page of the weekend to comment on this movie - "The box office dark horse is a successful movie, which makes people heavy, sad, but also makes people want to stop." ”
The success of the movie has undoubtedly brought the war genre to the spotlight again. (To be continued.) )
