06 to 07.

It is probably a year of vigorous and savage growth of Chinese films.

Even now, looking back on this year, there are still countless people who find it incredible.

The movie "Time Machine", which has dominated the top of the Chinese box office for three years, was defeated by "Superman 1" under the witness of countless Chinese people.

The figure of 480 million is daunting.

When everyone felt that this "Superman 1" was about to replace "Time Machine" and once again dominate the Chinese movie box office for many years, "Jurassic" reappeared, breaking the record of the movie "Jurassic" with an astonishing box office of 530 million, but "Jurassic" has not dominated the Chinese movie box office for long, and another movie called "Sewell" was born......

In the past year, everyone has become a witness to the rise of Hollywood movies.

While witnessing the birth of new kings one by one, they also witnessed that Chinese films gradually saw the light from the era of humiliation, and gave birth to works like "The Grandmaster", "Jin Yiwei", and "Struggle", which have excellent word-of-mouth and box office.

Chinese filmmakers, who were once hit by reality, finally saw the hope of the rise of Chinese films, and after regaining the confidence of domestic films, they no longer blindly abused and gave up on themselves.

Second half of '07.

This confidence is even stronger, and even a little pride is faintly born.

"Night Walker", "Infernal Affairs", "Our Motherland", three movies are in time for August, some movies did not meet expectations, but at least none of them hit the streets.

And the beginning of August this year is the only month in the non-Chinese film protection month that has not been suppressed by Hollywood films.

August 12.

When the box office of the movie "Infernal Affairs" came to an end the next day, and continued to suppress it, maintaining a box office of 30 million yuan, creating an amazing record of 60 million yuan in two days, the entire Chinese film industry was boiling!

Countless people looked at this data with numb scalps, and their hearts were so excited!

Chinese movies have never had such a highlight moment!

It seems that the Chinese box office record of "Panda Man" is no longer far away.

However, this jubilation did not last long, and such a message appeared on Weibo.

["Superman 2" is confirmed to be set for August 15! ] 】

When they saw this news, the Chinese filmmakers who were originally cheering only felt that someone had punched them hard in the chest, and they panicked.

Last year's "Superman 1" grossed 480 million.

It's a milestone work.

After a year, the market is not the same as last year.

With the rapid development of China's economy, people pay more and more attention to the quality of life, and entertainment projects have gradually become an indispensable part of people's lives.

At the beginning of the year, those theater CEOs who have a keen sense of the market saw the future prospects of the film industry, and almost invariably began to expand wildly around, increasing the number of theaters by about 40% in just August.

At the same time, in order to maintain the vitality of the entire industry, the relevant departments also introduced a series of policies to crack down on pirated movies in May, removing countless pirated films such as "preemptive version", "pirated version", "recorded version" and "live version" on the Internet, and strongly cracking down on pirated some disc pirates.

Under various policies to stimulate the market, the Chinese film market has been expanded by nearly half, and movies such as "Jurassic", "Interstellar", and "The Grandmaster" have all set records under the vigorous development of the market!

So......

When "Superman 2" was announced to be set for August 15, filmmakers who were originally full of confidence in Chinese movies panicked!

Not only did the filmmakers panic, but netizens on the Internet also began to discuss it.

[If "Superman 1" can be placed in 07, its box office will definitely be more than 480 million, and according to market predictions, he will definitely reach 600 million! ] 】

[600 million is less, if it is released in March this year, "Superman 1" will definitely be 700 million! ] 】

[One thing to say, although some people have the ambition of others and destroy their own prestige, if "Superman 1" is released together with "The Grandmaster", "The Grandmaster" will be overwhelmed! 】

["Superman 2" is released, will you go to see it? ] I'll go watch it, after all, the 3D special effects of "Superman 1" are so amazing, I dare to swear that China will not be able to make such a good movie in ten years! 】

[Ten years? I can't shoot it for 20 years! 】

["Infernal Affairs" is miserable...... Is Zhang Shuyin's Weibo still there? This guy is a prophet! Nima, is "Superman 2" really released? 】

【……】

The discussion is amid......

Except for some die-hard fans of Chinese movies, everyone else is pessimistic about "Infernal Affairs" colliding with "Superman 2".

[Have Chinese films really won over Hollywood movies in the local market? ] 】。

Zhang Shuyin's Weibo was updated again on August 12.

The content of the update is short.

There is only one sentence.

However, such a sentence made countless originally pessimistic netizens suddenly become more silent.

The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!

Countless people have checked the information of previous Chinese films and Hollywood blockbusters.

Either they are suppressed, or they are surviving, or they are being pressed into the streets......

It's cruel, as if that humiliating history has reappeared!

Huaxia Film ......

I really haven't won a Hollywood blockbuster.

What's even more cruel is that even if Zhou Yang is in China and makes the movie popular, it can't change the sense of expectation of the series of IPs of "Superman" in the hearts of fans and children, let alone the fact that "Infernal Affairs" has a box office of 20 yuan and "Superman 2" has a 3D box office of 40 yuan.

Even with the same number of moviegoers, the box office is twice as different!

…………………………

It's not just fans who are anxious.

And Django.

Django can accept that the box office of "Night Walker" is not as strong as expected, but he simply can't accept that "Night Walker" hits the streets, and even loses money.

The appearance of "Superman 2", anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is sniping "Infernal Affairs".

After the release of "Superman 2", it is inevitable that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" will be greatly affected, although it will not hit the streets, but it is very difficult to break the record under the suppression of "Superman 2".

in the office.

The analyst had deduced everything that could happen next, and the result was a fact that Django couldn't accept.

"Infernal Affairs" will be affected by "Superman 2", but "Night Walker" is very likely to be hit hard.

There are only a few movies released in August, "Infernal Affairs" is now in full swing, even if it is affected, it is impossible to reduce the film schedule, and "Our Motherland" is the main theme movie, even if the box office is poor, it is necessary to maintain a certain amount of film scheduling, and it is impossible to draw in advance......

Thereupon......

"Nightcrawler" is very likely to fall victim to this game.

This movie has an investment of 300 million yuan, and the Chinese box office will not be able to recover until it reaches 600 million, and the overseas box office will be a small explosion!

Under this circumstances, "Night Walker" will not be able to hit the streets.

The investment of 300 million yuan is not blowing in the wind!

Django signed a gambling agreement and took money from the capital to realize his shooting ambitions, if the gambling agreement could not be completed, he would explain it here for the rest of his life.

And the capital structure behind "Nightcrawler" is also intricate, and the power is terrifying, unless the senior management of Xinghui personally comes forward to level the capital, otherwise......

Django broke out in a cold sweat.

He took out his mobile phone for the first time and made a call to Cao Bangguo.

He can accept that his skills are not as good as others, he can accept that he is not as good as Zhou Yang, the demon, and even more acceptable that "Night Walker" can not reach the expected box office, but it must not hit the street.

The call was quickly connected.

He recounted his concerns.

Cao Bangguo was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "I will contact the director of "Superman 2", but the probability of postponing the release is not very high......"

After hanging up the phone, Django lowered his head, looking at the discussion about "Superman 2" on the Internet once reached the first place on the hot search list on Weibo, Django's heart was even more irritable.

Thirty minutes or so......

The phone rang again.

Cao Bangguo called, and after the phone was connected, Django heard the silence on the other end for a long time, and finally sighed: "Superman 2" will be released on time......

"Is there anything else that can be done?"

"Discuss with the major theater chains, these days, you don't have to do anything, just go to the CEOs of the major theaters to discuss the film schedule of "Night Walker" ......"

"What else?"

"There are some unspoken rules...... Forget it, don't use some unspoken rules, be upright. Cao Bangguo on the other end of the phone just wanted to say something, but finally shook his head again.

"......" Django was stunned for a moment when he heard the words unspoken rules, and then lowered his head to look at his hands.

After a long silence, while he was wandering, his phone rang again.

When he saw the number on the other end of the phone, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he didn't expect this person to call him!

"Director Zhao?"

…………………………

In the early morning of October 14.

Zhou Yang did not pay attention to the popularity of the premiere of "Superman 2" boiling on the Internet.

It's not been a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this moment......

Almonds, egg yolks, Hong Kong style, bean paste, ham.

He is in his new kitchen, experimenting with a dazzling array of mooncakes.

An Xiao's family is powerful, and it is not conspicuous for you to send a little other thing.

Of course, gifts still have to be given, in addition to gifts, Zhou Yang felt that he would give each person a box of mooncakes made by himself, so as to better express his heart for his elders.

"No way!"

Zhou Yang tasted the freshest mooncakes.

Then he frowned.

I feel that this mooncake is not as delicious as I imagined.

He was a little disappointed and went back to rework.

"Toot toot."

The phone rang.

The call was made by Wang Jing.

"Mr. Zhou......"

"What's wrong?"

"I was reading Weibo just now, and the popularity of our "Infernal Affairs" was ...... by "Superman 2"

"Oh, it's normal, after all, the popularity of "Superman 2" is also very high, and we can't always be at the top of the Weibo popularity list......"

"In fact, it's very simple to be at the top of the Weibo list, I just don't know if you want to be on the ...... Mr. Zhou"

"Huh? What's the big news? ”

"No...... Mr. Zhou, you only need to register a Weibo, just post a sentence. ”

"Huh?"
