Chapter 586: The first director with a box office of 10 billion

On August 25, 2021, the hot-blooded growth drama "Snow Eagle Lord", produced by Crystal Entertainment and starring Xiao Zhan and Tian Ai, officially started filming.

The play is based on the work of the same name by a well-known web author.

tells the story of Dongbo Xueying, a young man with ancient blood, who is involved in the battle between the righteous and the devil in order to save his mother.

In the meantime, Snow Eagle and Yu Jingqiu, a woman of Protoss descendant, met and fell in love, and the two overcame obstacles along the way, and finally grew into the story of a generation of Snow Eagle Lords in the Starry East.

This one, which has many fans, is naturally attracting attention as an IP adaptation.

In addition, it is produced by Crystal Entertainment, and starring top traffic peanuts such as Xiao Zhan and Tianai, so as soon as the announcement of the start of filming sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

set off a wave of enthusiasm, many fans participated in the discussion, supporting, afraid of ruining the classics, arguing, topicality, and popularity.

And after Tianai left the imperial capital to join the group "Snow Eagle Lord", Chen Jing stayed with Xiaodi and Mina for a few more days.

When the time comes to September, Chen Jing will have to participate in the promotion of the new film "Changjin Lake".

This new film that Wu Jing and Chen Jing collaborated on again after "Wolf Warrior 2" has been finalized for the National Day, and it is less than a month away from its release.

Wu Jing has already taken Duan Yihong, Li Chen, Han Dongjun, Zhu Yawen and other main creators to carry out publicity for a period of time.

Chen Jing postponed entering the propaganda team in order to accompany Xiaodi and Mina more.

Now in September, Chen Jing has to join the propaganda army.

"Brother Jing!" When Chen Jing saw Wu Jing, he immediately smiled and spread his arms to meet him.

Wu Jing also came over and hugged Chen Jing fiercely, "Brother, you're finally here." ”

"No way, I'm not busy editing "Watergate Bridge"." Chen Jing said nonsense.

Wu Jing suddenly asked, "How is the cut?" Is it finished? ”

Chen Jing smiled and nodded, "It's already finished, I'll do something, you still don't worry." ”

Wu Jing smiled and patted Chen Jing's shoulder, "Don't worry, of course you're relieved, haha......"

"Hello everyone!" Chen Jing looked at the others.

"Hello Boss Chen!" *4

The main creative lineup of "Changjin Lake" is full of masculinity, and there is no actress.

After all, it's a war movie, but it's understandable.

"Congratulations, Boss Chen, "Crime and Punishment" is about to reach 6 billion." Li Chen smiled, "Is Director Wu afraid?" ”

Wu Jing smiled when she heard this, "What am I afraid of, I also participated in "Crime and Punishment", besides, it's not that it hasn't been exceeded!" ”

Chen Jing shook her head with a smile after hearing this, "If you want to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", "Crime and Punishment" is probably impossible, but I am very optimistic about our "Changjin Lake". ”

"Is there really hope?" Wu Jing immediately raised her eyebrows and asked when she heard this.

Several other people also looked at Chen Jing eagerly, wanting to get an affirmative answer.

Because, Chen Jing's vision is notoriously vicious in the circle, and there are even some myths.

Although they may not believe it all, everyone still believes in Chen Jing's vision to some extent.

Chen Jing said with a smile, "Of course, the investment in "Changjin Lake" is so large, it can be called an epic blockbuster, plus me and Brother Jing, as well as everyone here, the lineup is strong.

It is also the most popular main theme film in the market in the past two years, and I think the most likely to break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2" is "Changjin Lake". ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled when they heard this, and their hearts inexplicably gained more confidence and morale.

"Okay, then let's get dry." Wu Jing said loudly.

"Get dry!"

Everyone shouted a slogan, and then walked on the stage together, and suddenly the flashing lights were loud and a little dazzling.

Everyone was humble to each other, and they gave up the C position one after another, mainly to Chen Jing and Wu Jing.

After taking a few photos with media reporters, the press conference officially began.

"Everyone is welcome to take the time to come to the media conference of "Changjin Lake"......"

"Boss Chen, congratulations, the box office of "Crime and Punishment" has exceeded 5.7 billion yuan!"

After nearly two months of release, "Crime and Punishment" is approaching the end of the painting.

The current box office of "Crime and Punishment" can exceed 5.7 billion yuan, which is still a considerable gap from "Wolf Warrior 2".

The current daily box office of "Crime and Punishment" has fallen below one million, and it is impossible to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2".

Therefore, "Crime and Punishment" did not apply for the extension of the key again, and it will be officially released at the end of September after a while.

Chen Jing smiled when she heard this, "Thank you, I have to thank everyone for your support." ”

"Boss Chen, I have to congratulate you, you are now the first director in the country to direct a movie with a cumulative box office of more than 10 billion!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Wu Jing applauded directly when she heard this, and everyone at the scene applauded, which made Chen Jing a little embarrassed.

Chen Jing stood up and bowed slightly, "I still have to thank everyone, without your help, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such results."

Thank you again, but let's go back to the topic and talk about Brother Jing's new movie "Changjin Lake"! ”

"It's okay, you can continue talking, just so we can all rest for a while." Wu Jing hugged her arms and looked at the lively posture.

"Hahaha......"

The crowd laughed when they saw this.

"Director Chen, I heard that the movie "Changjin Lake" was not easy to shoot? Can you tell us a little bit about it? ”

Chen Jing nodded when she heard this, ""Changjin Lake" was actually ready to start filming as early as the end of last year, but the sudden impact made the entire crew have to press the pause button.

Then it took a few months for the crew to finally start filming, and there were indeed many difficulties after filming began, and Brother Jing and I decided to make an epic war masterpiece before the film began.

As a result, we basically gave up all studio shots and opted for live action shooting, which increased the difficulty.

Secondly, the war was extremely large, so we mobilized a lot of troops and group performances, a total of 12,000 people.

At the most, more than 7,000 people filmed in the same crew.

There are many people who have brought all kinds of problems, such as food, accommodation, and materials, especially those who have been affected, and they have to measure the temperature and check the code every day, which is very time-consuming.

In addition, many foreign actors' visas have time restrictions, as well as daily working hours, which shortens the daily filming time a lot.

In addition, because the scene was too grandiose and the shooting was more difficult, in order to save time, we had to divide into 4 groups to start shooting.

At the end of the filming, even the film's producer, Mr. Chen, came on the stage to be the director and led a team to shoot.

The filming process was really tiring and troublesome, so our Mr. Chen always had to find ways to encourage everyone, and after filming this movie, Mr. Chen's hair fell out one after another. ”

"Hahaha......"

"But it's all worth it, I've seen the finished film, and I think it's what I expected before I started filming with Director Chen." Wu Jing said.

"Yes, it was pretty much the same as we had imagined before we started shooting, so I was reluctant to delete a lot of the shots, and I ended up with five hours of footage.

I was really reluctant, so we finally decided to divide the film into two parts. ”

"What's the name of Part 2?"

"It's tentatively called "Watergate Bridge"!" Wu Jing replied.

"Director Chen, the "Wolf Warrior 2" you and Director Wu collaborated on is now the box office record holder in mainland film history, and it has been maintained for 4 years.

This time you and Director Wu collaborated again on "Changjin Lake", do you think it is expected to break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2"? ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Jing when they heard this.

The media reporter hopes that Chen Jing will be able to speak outrageously.

Li Chen, Duan Yihong and others remembered Chen Jing's prediction before.

Chen Jing also smiled at Wu Jing.

Wu Jing patted Chen Jing's shoulder, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of please, meaning that you just say it, my brother will carry it for you.

Seeing this, Chen Jing smiled, looked at the expectant eyes of the media reporters in the audience, and smiled, "I have always said before that people always have to improve.

So I think the box office of "Changjin Lake" should be able to surpass "Crime and Punishment". ”

Rumble!

There was a heated discussion at the scene, and the flash kept flashing, and the media obviously wanted to shoot the moment when Chen Jing made a bold statement.

More than "Crime and Punishment", that means more than 5.7 billion yuan at the box office!

This is the runner-up in the box office list of mainland film history!

There have been 5 films with a box office of more than 5 billion in the country for so many years, which shows the difficulty of breaking 5 billion!

Moreover, "Changjin Lake" is set for the National Day, but there are strong competitors.

The first is "Me and My Fathers", the sequel to "My Motherland and Me", and the box office potential should not be underestimated.

And the third part of this series is also directed by Wu Jing, as well as three other directors, International Zhang, Xu Zheng and Shen Pain.

In addition, all four also participated in this movie.

By the way, Xu Zheng is the only director who has directed all three films in the series.

It can be seen from here that "Embarrassing Mother" still has a great influence on Xu Zheng.

So, the front-page headline material that media reporters want is there.

However, there are still some media reporters who are unwilling and continue to ask.

"Is it possible for "Changjin Lake" to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2"?"

Facing the eyes that gathered again, Chen Jing smiled lightly, "It's not impossible!" ”

Wow......

There was an uproar at the scene.

Chen Jing really dares to say it, although it is not definitely said that it is more than "Wolf Warrior 2", but what do media reporters do?

Isn't the best thing to take out of context!

So, the headlines on the front page are really there!

"Director Wu, what do you think?"

Wu Jing glanced at the reporter who asked the question, then reached out and patted Chen Jing's shoulder and said, "What my brother said, that's what I said!" ”

Everyone present, not only media reporters, but also Duan Yihong, Li Chen and others were all envious when they heard this.

These two brothers, plus Deng Chao, are really one of the highest mountains in the entertainment industry!

I really want to join, is it okay to add men to men?

"What about Director Wu, what about "Me and My Fathers" directed by you?"

"Oh, it's also a good movie, and the box office will definitely not be bad." Wu Jing said.

"Which one do you think has a higher box office, "Changjin Lake" or "Me and My Fathers"?" Media reporters don't give up.

"It's up to the audience to decide." Wu Jing said with a smile.

……

"Wu Jing and Chen Jing co-directed the war masterpiece "Changjin Lake", which set a record in film history, with an investment of up to 1.3 billion yuan!" --- Wangyi Entertainment

"Chen Jing said that "Changjin Lake" will break the box office record in the film history of "Wolf Warrior 2"!" --- reported by Sohu Entertainment

""Changjin Lake" also has a sequel "Watergate Bridge", which is scheduled for next year's Spring Festival!" --- New Wolf Entertainment

……

Soon, the content of the press conference of "Changjin Lake" became the front page headlines of many media, portals, and short videos!

Whether it is a record investment of 1.3 billion yuan, or the slogan of "Wolf Warrior 2" at the box office, and of course, the cooperation between Chen Jing and Wu Jing again, they have earned enough eyeballs!

At the same time, this press conference also ignited the smoke of gunpowder in advance for the upcoming National Day file.

There are not so many blockbusters in this year's National Day file, but "Changjin Lake" and "Me and My Fathers" are enough to attract a lot of attention.

"Changjin Lake" is not much to say, "Me and My Fathers" is also the third part of the series, and the box office of the first two parts has exceeded 5 billion!

Therefore, "Me and My Fathers" will inevitably become a strong competitor to "Changjin Lake".

And the two films still have a relationship, and Wu Jing participated in the directing of two films at the same time.

Chen Jing directed the first part of the "Me and My Fathers" series, "Me and My Motherland", and the fate is not shallow!

In addition, the box office of "Crime and Punishment" broke 5.7 billion yuan, and the cumulative box office of Chen Jing's personal films also reached 14.032 billion yuan.

This data makes Chen Jing the first director in China with a cumulative box office of more than 10 billion!

As a director, the cumulative box office has exceeded 10 billion!

As an actor, the cumulative box office has reached 35.416 billion yuan!

Chen Jing is definitely a well-deserved box office king!

……

In the following time, Chen Jing, Wu Jing, Li Chen and other main creators traveled all over the country's major cities, participating in various variety shows, interviews, cover shooting, meet-and-greets and other promotional activities.

The publicity momentum of "Changjin Lake" is also getting bigger and bigger, which makes the entire National Day file ignite in advance.

At the same time, on September 9, 2021, "Doctor Huaxia" was officially screened from major theaters across the country!

In the end, "Doctor Huaxia" won a box office of 1.328 billion yuan.

This box office result temporarily ranked "Doctor Huaxia" in the 4th place in the annual box office list in 2021!

Xiaoying is still a little dissatisfied with the final box office of "Doctor Huaxia", but it has exceeded 1 billion yuan.

And considering that this year is the film market that has just recovered after the impact, it is already very good to have this result.

But thinking about Chen Jing's "Tang Detective 3" and "Crime and Punishment", it can only be said that there is really no actress in China who can carry the box office now.

The production cost of "Huaxia Doctor" is 250 million yuan, plus the 100 million yuan publicized, the total production cost of the film is 350 million yuan!

The final box office was 1.328 billion, and the divisible box office was 1.217 billion yuan.

As the producer + promoter, Crystal Entertainment can get a box office share of 523 million yuan.

After removing taxes and investment costs, the net profit of Jingpin Entertainment's investment in "Huaxia Doctor" was 95 million yuan!

Although the box office broke 1.3 billion, in terms of net profit, compared with other films of Crystal Entertainment, the cost performance is not high!
