Chapter 214: Box Office Failure
"Thank you, thank you."
"Thank you, friends."
"Hello everyone!"
At the end of the movie, under the leadership of Cheng Long and director Tang Jili, a group of leading actors came to the stage, including the heroine Jin Xifan.
Seeing Princess Yushu herself on stage, the film critics and media at the scene were a little excited.
In the movie just now, Princess Yushu waited for a thousand years of love that was called a miserable and desolate, and finally waited until she hugged and separated again not long after.
Like a flash in the pan, it will fail at the beginning.
"Wow, what a beautiful woman, I'm more beautiful than the movie." Jing Tian glared at the apricot eyes and praised.
is also a woman, I have to admit that Jin Xifan is really beautiful, with a round face, big eyes, and an elegant temperament, which is very in line with the aesthetics of most Oriental people.
This is different from the common plastic surgery face in Korea.
Leaning behind Ding Xiu's head, Jing Tian asked curiously, "Brother Xiu, you have worked with her, how is she?"
"It's good, it's gentle."
Ding Xiu gave a very fair evaluation, of course he couldn't say that people were bad in front of an outsider, but the word gentleness was very suitable for Jin Xifan.
It may be that he is alone in a foreign land, and he does not understand the language, but he is very polite to others, and he is not arrogant and complacent at all.
Jing Tian's eyes lit up: "That's it, then I'll ask her for an autograph later."
Ding Xiu opened his mouth and closed it again, only then did he remember what he had to say to a little girl.
On stage, the director is talking about the creative concept of the movie, because after seeing the terracotta warriors and horses in Chang'an one year, he went back and dreamed of a thousand years ago.
Hence the script of the myth.
The originally scheduled actor was Jin Chengwu, but he was finally cut off by Cheng Long, and Cheng Long lived up to expectations, and he went into battle in person in martial arts scenes, and the same was true for horse riding.
In order to get rid of the shadow of the past, this time the martial arts have no programming style at all, and they are all brand new.
For filming needs, the crew first filmed a circle in the most difficult places in China, and then ran around the world and filmed different scenery in many countries.
More than 60 million were spent on framing alone.
In the middle, several Hollywood celebrities and A-Sanguo celebrities were also invited to star.
This movie has invested more than 160 million before and after, and it is a super blockbuster.
In a word, if you want a lineup to have a lineup, you want to invest in it, and you want to have a scene with a scene, the crew is definitely a conscientious production.
After listening, the film critics and media reporters present were moved, and while receiving the red envelopes given by the crew, they wiped their tears, and then wrote their comments in their small notebooks.
At the end of the show, Ding Xiu wanted to leave with the media, but was stopped by Cheng Long to drink, and it took three or four hours to drink when he came to the hotel.
After drinking, I went to the sauna, sang, played mahjong, and the one-stop service was properly arranged.
That night, the major media and film critics who watched the premiere began to give comments after watching the movie.
"Don't blow it, don't blow it, this is the best movie I've seen this year, it's a pity that everyone doesn't watch it, Brother Cheng Long has changed his style from the past......
"A conscience drama that brings together superstars from many countries, the scene is magnificent, the story is full of ups and downs, to be honest, I was moved by the love between Meng Yi and Princess Yushu that spanned thousands of years, and I cried a lot, the screenwriter is really a ghost."
"With a unique brain, a mature shooting style, every frame is incomparable, and the storyline is complete, you will never be disappointed."
"There is no one of the most important movies of the year."
"Ding Xiu, the most capable star of the younger generation, joins in, fights Cheng Long, the older generation and the new generation PK, who is better in martial arts?"
In the end, there is still money, the myth is not only a high film schedule, there is no less effort to promote this piece, there is no ambiguity in the place where the advertisement should be made, and in just a few hours, the feedback on the results of the myth premiere came out.
It attracted a lot of viewers.
Some people have already bought tickets early and waited for the movie to be released and go to see the first show.
The next day, the myth was released.
Word-of-mouth is half and half.
"Wo Ye, this Nima is a movie, a waste of ticket money, the director is not elaborate at all, is the armor of the Qin Dynasty so gorgeous, I don't know and think it's the Tang Dynasty."
"Saddle, horseshoe is a bit of a drama, not in line with history, not to mention the weapons used, blind to such a good lineup.
"It's Cheng Long who is blind, except for the folds on his face, everything else in this drama is fine, I don't understand, what kind of tenderness do people pretend to be in their fifties, honestly play Dad, Grandpa is not good?"
"It would be nice to change Ding Xiu's role with Cheng Long, he is more compatible with Jin Xifan, the man is handsome, and the woman is beautiful."
"I cried as soon as this episode of beautiful mythology came out, I was so moved, this love."
"I've downloaded the song for the first time, the song is good, the movie is good, support big brother."
The myth is menacing, the theater chain is very face-saving, the film scheduling rate is very high, and the box office is also very good, more than 10 million.
So, Cheng Longyi was happy and pulled Ding Xiu, who came to cheer, to play for another day.
On the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, the box office was getting lower and lower day by day, and Cheng Long didn't have the heart to play anymore, so he couldn't sleep every day.
Almost all the movies he starred in had him participate in the investment, and if the box office of the movie was not good, he would also lose money.
With a total investment of 160 million, it takes almost 500 million at the box office to return to the cost, and more than 500 million is earned, but judging from the current situation, let alone 500 million, it is difficult to break 100 million.
On the seventh day, the box office in the first week came down, more than 50 million.
The mythological drama crew was sad up and down.
Hong Kong Island and the mainland were released together at about the same time, and the box office in the first week was even worse, only a few million.
A month later, the myth was released.
The total box office in the mainland is more than 90 million.
Hong Kong Island box office is more than 17 million.
I rushed to my grandmother's house.
It can be said that how beautiful Cheng Long was before, how hard he fell now.
Because this is his second consecutive box office dismal, the last time was the new police story of 04 years, which is also a large lineup, with a large number of Hong Kong stars participating, with an investment of more than 100 million, and finally a mainland box office of more than 40 million.
The two movies failed, and Brother Cheng Long received a lot of discussion.
Some of the coal bosses who saw him didn't dare to vote for him, and instead set their sights on younger artists.
Shencheng, Apple crew, today the crew is on holiday, Ding Xiu didn't play, chartered a yacht, took Gao Yuanyuan and Zhao Liying, and several leading actors of the crew to play at sea.
"Brother Xiu, this kind of team building will come often in the future, I haven't been so comfortable for a long time."
On the second deck, Fan Binbin was on a laid-back recliner, dressed in a cool outfit, with his legs crossed, sunglasses on his face, and juice in his mouth.
Ding Xiu was wearing beach pants, a floral shirt, flip-flops, leaning on the fence with his back blowing the sea breeze, and said, "You just usually push yourself too tight."
"Is it tight?"
"Tight."
"It's not okay, it's when I'm young, and now I can't fight if I'm old."
"Whatever you want." Seeing Gao Yuanyuan coming over, Ding Xiu withdrew his gaze from his thighs, turned around, and faced the sea.
