In the original time and space, "Love Has an Afterlife" had problems because of the processing copy - the color difference did not meet Yu Feihong's requirements, and then, the schedule was temporarily adjusted, and it was released on September 3...

The schedule is too cold, coupled with the temporary adjustment of the schedule, which led to the cancellation of all the original promotional activities...

Even though the box office has picked up in the later period, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" has been released...

This film is a miserable death!

Even the distributor doesn't run any film festivals...

To be honest, if it weren't for Hua Yuwen watching too much, I wouldn't have known that there was such a movie as "Love Has an Afterlife".

What?

Yu Feihong fan?

I'm sorry, before the release of "Love Has an Afterlife", Yu Feihong has been out of the audience's sight for nearly five years - during this period, the starring movie "Millennium Prayer" won the Golden Shell Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, but not many people know about this movie!

Because it is the work of Chinese director Wang Ying, aimed at the North American market...

At this stage, the film market is very extensive.

It's like a fire, if it can be lit, it will be ignited, and if it can't be ignited, it will be quickly extinguished!

Propaganda is combustible, and there must be combustibles, so that the fire can flourish...

Simmer over low heat...

There is no such option!

There is also a kind called... Selling miserable marketing...

It's like Wu Yusen's "Heaven's Mouth", when it was promoted, the main focus was the mainland version of "Bloody Street"...

After the release, the word of mouth was not good, and then, "Blockbuster" was released, and seeing that he was crushed by "Blockbuster", Wu Yusen didn't know if he was brain-dead, and publicly said, ""Heaven's Mouth" is my first Chinese-language film when I came back from Hollywood, and if the audience doesn't support it, forget it, why don't theaters support it? ’

In the tank?

Not to mention the mainland market, "Blockbuster" was also released in Hong Kong, and the box office was not good, with a box office of 3 million Hong Kong dollars in seven days, estimated to be about 6 million...

What about "Heaven's Mouth"?

The Hong Kong box office is less than 500,000!

The audience voted with their feet, and the local market in Hong Kong did not support "Heaven's Mouth", so why should the mainland audience support it?

You're back from Hollywood, so we're going to support you?

That and Liansheng should vote for the tandem explosion - the tandem should lead the Heliansheng to hit the moon!

Oh, Wu Yusen's miserable sale is still useful, he is selling miserably with China Film, and China Film, the face of an international director, must be given, besides, he has China Film's big project "Red Cliff" in his hand...

The top of the row is tilted a little.

……

company, Chen Xi was chatting with Huang Bin.

"After "Blockbuster", I don't think there will be any domestic films in the future to promote themselves in the name of domestic blockbusters!"

“… Well, I think so too..."

"Blockbuster" implicitly outputs a point of view: all projects packaged with domestic blockbusters are for money, and have nothing to do with art or movies.

With the release of "Blockbuster", this point of view was accepted by most moviegoers.

Chen Xi picked up the weekly box office report he had just sent and said, "But there are also bad effects... Many people accuse us of cutting off the future of domestic blockbusters! ”

Huang Bin didn't care: "I think it's good, have you noticed, this wave of netizens gave examples of domestic bad movies, and did not mention "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "Zhao Zilong"... It shows that the audience is not disgusted by blockbusters, but bad movies under the banner of blockbusters! ”

Chen Xi did not continue this topic, but said: "The box office broke 75 million in five days... It's a pity! ”

Huang Bin was curious: "What is a pity? ”

"If I change schedules with "Life Events", I am really sure that I will achieve 180 million..."

Huang Bin also regretted a little: "... At that time, no one expected this film to be such a blockbuster..."

It's late August, and the market is indeed a little cold, otherwise, although it is a bit difficult to break 100 million in five days, it is still very possible to have a box office of 90 million in five days.

Speaking of this, Huang Bin suddenly remembered something: "Do you guess Xudong has ever thought about such a situation?" ”

Chen Xi shook his head: "Don't guess, I asked him..."

"What did he say?"

"He said... Uncle Ge does have appeal! ”

"Uncle Ge?"

Huang Bin pondered for a moment... Indeed, although "Blockbuster" is starring Chen Daoming, Chen Daoming has starred in Tianmei's two dramas "Outstanding Citizen" and "Tailor" before, and the highest box office is only 43 million...

"Blockbuster" can achieve today's market performance, relying on Ge You.

“… Ge You is really the only actor in the mainland who has market appeal today, do we express it? ”

"As you say, Xudong directly signed a five-part drama contract with Uncle Ge!"

"Five?"

"Well, I heard that he originally wanted to pack five dramas for 50 million... was politely rejected by Uncle Ge! ”

"Fifty million refuses?"

"Uncle Ge... Accustomed to coming one by one... However, he did sign five drama contracts, two of which were with Feng Xiaogang! ”

Huang Bin was surprised: "... Working with Feng Xiaogang? That... Can the Huayi brothers agree? ”

Chen Xi asked rhetorically: "Why don't they agree?" Whether it's Uncle Ge or Director Feng, it's not Huayi's signed artist..."

"It's hilarious!"

……

Well, it's hilarious indeed!

It has only been six days since the release of "Blockbuster", and TiMi Company has made big news again, announcing the signing of Ge You's five-film contract.

This has a big impact...

Five plays, and five in three years, "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown" (Director: Feng Xiaogang), "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" (Director: Feng Xiaogang), "The Story of a Thief of Officials" (Director: Jiang Wen) and "Magic Moment" (Director: Ning Hao) and "One Shot to the End" (Director: Guan Yu)...

Feng Xiaogang, the co-director of the first two films, directly won the investment rights and distribution rights, and while Director Feng was still valuable, of course, he had to exploit it quickly;

"The Story of the Thief of Officials" is "Let the Bullets Fly", if you don't take down such a work, you are unwilling;

The last two... are all good Japanese comedies in Shen Xudong's memory, "Magic Moment" was later renamed "This Killer is Not Calm", the market feedback is very good, "One Shot to the End" is "Don't Stop the Camera"...

And publicly advertised the contract remuneration: 50 million for five plays...

Of course, this price code shook the industry, and the remuneration for a drama is 10 million, even if Liang Chaowei takes over the filming of "Red Cliff", the remuneration is only 1 million US dollars...

"Of course Uncle Ge is worth the price, we are based on the quotation given by the market, and we are worried that his salary will rise in the later stage, so we simply pack five dramas..."

“… However, at present, Uncle Ge is still hesitating, and we may take a more prudent approach. ”

Secure what?

Set up Ge You Studio, let him co-invest as an investor...

This practice... Huayi is very angry!

After all, Feng's comedy is the foundation of Huayi's fortune - "Party A and Party B", "See You or Leave", "Big Names", "Mobile Phone", "No Thieves in the World" all lead the box office market of Chinese films for the Chinese New Year, and these movies are Feng Xiaogang + Ge You...

Do you move them?

Is TiMi planning to go to war?

In this regard, Gao Fenfen explained to the media very calmly: "What kind of war? We have a project that is suitable for Director Feng and Ge You, and invite them to work together? Don't... Breaking the law? ”

“… Ge You can star in "Peach Blossom Luck", "Panting", and of course he can star in our company's works! ”

"Director Feng is no longer Huayi's contracted director, so we have a project to find him, and he likes it, what's the problem with cooperating?"

"You guys... Always complicate things! ”

“… Does Xudong know these things? ”

“… He personally grasped these projects... Do you think he knows? ”

"What about the others?"

"I'm going to the Toronto Film Festival..."The Raid," "The Legend of the Wicked," and "Crime City" are still looking for buyers for the North American rights..."
