Chapter 544: The Decline of Martial Arts Films

Because the Spring Festival Gala of Shonan Satellite TV was recorded, Ding Xiu went to record it a week in advance.

I met many acquaintances backstage, all of whom were old faces for many years, such as Han Hong, Huang Xiaoming and others.

On the same day, Ding Xiu got on a private jet and came back on the same day.

A few days later, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, one person's martial arts was released.

The box office on the first day was more than 18 million.

It's not as high as the previous small era.

Seeing this result, I don't know how many directors and kung fu film actors feel cool and cool.

Ding Xiu, the top of the top, plus Wang Baoqiang, a super actor, joined forces, but they didn't do Guo Jingming.

What a worldly way.

"Speaking from the heart, the script is very good, the martial arts are good, and the actors' acting skills are high, but I don't know why it's not popular."

"I like Wang Baoqiang in this play, and I took my whole family to the cinema to support."

"Look, it's very good-looking, but there aren't many girls on the scene, most of them are boys."

"If you like kung fu movies, you must not miss it."

"I hope that fans and friends who like me can go to see a person's martial arts, support it, your likes are my motivation."

The box office of more than 18 million on the first day is actually not low, and under normal circumstances, if there is no moisture, it is not a problem to make two or three hundred million in the end.

The reason why a person's martial arts is so shocking is mainly on Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang.

One is a popular top-notch, a powerful actor, and the two cooperate, but they are not as good as Guo Jingming, who became a monk halfway before.

How can this not be uncomfortable.

Not to mention insiders, the audience feels sorry for Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang.

They are tired of filming here, and all kinds of martial arts fights are in person, and their acting skills are not to be said.

As a result, the box office was less than 20 million on the first day.

As for Guo Jingming, with a group of amateur actors, he made a bad script, rented a few luxurious venues, and the assembly line products filmed in two months made 500 million yuan in just one month.

It doesn't make sense.

If you shoot well, no one will watch it, right?

Who doesn't chill.

Seeing that the box office was not good, Ding Xiu and Wang Baoqiang shouted on Weibo every day, calling on netizens to enter the cinema.

Ding Xiu, who was going to go to the new crew, temporarily took five or six interviews to promote one's martial arts.

"Brother Xiu, what do you think of the current box office results, will you be unwilling?"

Four days after its release, it barely broke 100 million, which is a person's martial arts achievements at present.

Under the vigorous promotion of the leading actors, it has still had an effect in the past few days, and the single-day box office results have begun to improve, but the improvement is limited.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is no need to think about the hit, and the box office will be 400 million, but it will not exceed 500 million.

can't beat Guo Jingming.

In the past two days, many people have been watching Ding Xiu's jokes every day.

The moderator's question is also about the same thing.

After pondering for a moment, Ding Xiu said seriously: "As actors, what we can do is to play the role well. ”

"The market and the audience are to judge whether the results are good or bad."

"The feedback I've seen so far is that everyone has responded very well to this film, with a rating of 8.2."

"It shows that whether it is a director or an actor, everyone is right, but it can only be said that the market is not good, and kung fu films are difficult."

"We have done a survey, the film market, female consumer groups are the mainstream, romance films, comedy films are more popular."

"Less than 15 percent of people like kung fu movies......"

Qin Dynasty Entertainment has really done market research, and it is a fact that the current kung fu movies are sluggish.

Most of the people who go to the cinema are women, and some are couples.

When a boy takes his girlfriend to the theater, the first choice is definitely a romance movie, or a comedy with a relaxed atmosphere.

Who took their girlfriend to the cinema to watch an action movie?

A few men are calling around, and the girls don't like to watch it.

When Ding Xiu said that kung fu movies were difficult, the atmosphere visible to the naked eye sank.

Even Ding Xiu said that kung fu movies are difficult, let alone other people, if even he doesn't shoot it, I'm afraid this theme will be cold in the future.

"Brother Xiu, will you still make kung fu movies in the future?"

"Don't think about it until you come across a good script."

Ding Xiu's words are very tactful, and he doesn't think about it before encountering a good script.

To put it bluntly, basically don't shoot.

He can't help it, the market is like this, continuing to shoot will only waste time, and if you don't do it well, you will lose money.

As an actor and an investor, making movies is not only about feelings, but also about making money.

Look at Guo Jingming, there are 500 million in the whole bad movie, who is not red-eyed.

There are also directors who make bloody love films, using a few small fresh meats, and the box office is also rising.

Ding Xiu is not a fool, there is no need to insist on making thankless kung fu movies.

The team behind him means that in the next two years, there will be some commercial films with a large lineup.

Ding Xiu also means this, commercial films have high salaries, make a lot of money, make money quickly, and the audience loves to watch them.

There is no reason not to shoot.

I really want to wait for more money for my interest, and it's not impossible to make some art films occasionally.

……

A few days later, as soon as Ding Xiu's interview came out, the entertainment industry was in an uproar, and netizens were distressed, so another wave of people ran to support one's martial arts.

In just a few days, the box office has accumulated to more than two or two hundred million.

Ding Xiu didn't expect this effect, it was completely self-defeating, and he just told some truths.

But in the eyes of the audience, it is his helplessness and sadness about the decline of kung fu films.

"Let's support it, it's difficult to be an action actor, seek truth from facts, a person's martial arts is really not bad, I had to watch it before, because my girlfriend changed it temporarily, and I will make it up again this time."

"Support Ding Xiu, support kung fu films."

"My generation grew up watching kung fu movies, but unfortunately, what young people like now is love and love."

"The box office is not good to blame the audience, and it came out to sell miserably, Ding Xiu is really going back more and more."

"Upstairs, when did Ding Xiu blame the audience, they all said that the market was not good, don't deliberately recruit black, you kid."

"In fact, it is normal for kung fu movies to decline, almost every era has the main theme of each era, in the nineties, the underworld theme was also very popular, and now it's not cold."

"It's good to transform, I've made kung fu movies for so many years, let's give you something different."

"Ding Xiu is still young, in his thirties, and now he still has an advantage in making other films, and I hope to play the fourth part of the small era."

"I'll lose it, don't harm everyone upstairs, what's the stuff in the little era?"

"Although my brother Xiu fell off the altar, it's not like any cat or dog can touch porcelain."

At the beginning of March, a person's martial arts box office broke 400 million, and the rest of the time, it is not a big problem to make a hundred million, and professionals predict that the final box office may be around 500 million, which is much better than expected.

The investor also returned to his capital and made a lot of money without a loss.

If you want to say that the fly in the ointment in this process is that Ding Xiu's credibility has declined.

For so many years, this is the first time his kung fu films have encountered a crisis.

Dante Xiu did not come out to explain, but went to South Korea and entered the crime city crew.

Just when everyone really thinks that kung fu movies are not good, Ding Xiu is not good.

Wu Jing, Ding Xiu, and Tony Jia starred in the action movie Kill the Wolf 2 finalized.

A trailer exploded.
