Chapter 62: Blame Me?

"Blockbuster" has also been released overseas, basically in Southeast Asia, Golden Harvest tried to release it, and the box office was not good...

It can be said that 95% of the income is in China!

After all, this work is too mainland...

Thanks to "Red Cliff", as soon as it was released, it directly opened the popularity of "Blockbuster", according to Golden Harvest data, in the first week of the release of "Red Cliff", the disc rental and sales data of "Blockbuster" in Southeast Asia soared by 1000%...

Well, it's tenfold.

Mainly, the previous base was too small ...

It seems that last year's leasing and sales data did not reach $800,000, and last month it was even less than $50,000, and as soon as "Red Cliff" (above) was released, it immediately pulled the disc data of "Blockbuster", and in just three days, this data jumped to $500,000...

For this reason, Golden Harvest's Zhong Lifang specially 'thanked' director Wu Yusen and the crew of "Red Cliff" at the premiere of "Girl in Underwear"...

Oh, "Underwear Girl" is a light comedy produced by Golden Harvest, the scale is quite large, full of sexual openness...

But it's just a lip service, not a third-level film...

The cost is very low, 4 million Hong Kong dollars, mainly for the Hong Kong local market.

"Exquisite Ancient City" has been released in Hong Kong for 20 days and has a box office of 22 million Hong Kong dollars, and there are only 3 theaters left for the release today, so it's time to release a new film...

Oh, "Red Cliff" (above) had a cumulative box office of 84 million in the first three days, Hong Kong, the box office of "Red Cliff" exceeded 2 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day of its release, and the box office on Sunday was as high as 3.14 million Hong Kong dollars, and it became the Hong Kong box office champion last week after 3 days of release, with a cumulative box office of 8.59 million Hong Kong dollars;

In Taiwan, "Red Cliff" earned about $1.87 million at the box office.

After its release in Singapore, "Red Cliff" (Part 1) also performed well, grossing $625,000 in its opening weekend, surpassing the opening weekend box office of "Superman for All."

It grossed more than $18 million in Asia in its opening weekend.

It's fierce.

The box office performance of "Red Cliff" is more due to the theme and the audience's psychological expectations, as well as the trust in the director accumulated by films such as "The True Color of Heroes" and "Changing Face".

This is called the equilibrium effect of the market!

It is also called word-of-mouth cash.

The market is very fair, your previous movies had a good reputation, but for various reasons - insufficient number of screens and the like, the box office was poor, so when the market expands, you release new movies, and the audience will reciprocate!

Just like Ning Hao, the box office of "Blooming Heart" is mainly to compensate for what has been lost and missed in the past few years.

"Red Cliff" can also be regarded as a kind of encouragement from the market to Wu Yusen in the past few years...

It's a pity that "Blockbuster" has too much influence!

Or that the navy hired by Tianmei is pervasive, and when "Red Cliff" was promoted, almost all the people stationed at the scene were asked the question of 'Cao Cao went south to rush to the crown and was angry and became red'...

Zhang Fengyi replied: "This is a movie, not history!" From a cinematic point of view, this change is more entertaining...

Our mainland directors and audiences like to respect history, but they are often easily framed by history. Hong Kong directors are different, he feels that history is in the service of the characters, and the characters are in the service of the actors. Everything is centered around the actors' performances, and you can do whatever you need. ”

You Yong, who plays Liu Bei, said: "The mainland's appreciation habits for movies have always been more orthodox, so it is impossible for the mainland to have a movie like Zhou Xingchi's spoof of Journey to the West." But in recent years, everyone has begun to accept this genre, and everyone like "Wulin Gaiden" also likes to watch it, so I think this style of film is also needed to impact the mainland film market. ”

Wu Yusen probably relieved himself - anyway, the box office was not bad, and replied: "Mainland screenwriters have no romantic feelings, from being angry to being angry, how romantic!" ”

Well, he thinks his "Red Cliff" is romantic...

By the way, after the release of "Red Cliff" (above), the box office of "Exquisite Ancient City" in the third weekend was 16 million, with a cumulative box office of 347 million...

……

After the premiere of "Red Cliff", Shen Xudong did not appear in public, nor did he express his opinion on "Red Cliff" again...

Many netizens were disappointed, but they didn't tear it up?

Shen Xudong was busy visiting the class "Outwitting Tiger Mountain"...

In fact, many people are not optimistic about "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", martial arts film director Xu Ke shoots the theme of G life?

"Outwitting Tiger Mountain", one of the eight model plays!

However, Shen Xudong is full of confidence in Xu Ke - he knows that Xu Ke's version of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is great.

Therefore, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is also a project that he strongly promotes.

"To fight with wit, to fight with wit, to fight with martial arts, the vast forest and sea and snowfield... The artistic conception is even more meaningful, and it does not violate the main theme. Such a good subject matter, you can shoot suspense, martial arts, and a road movie made into a snowfield and snowboard... Retirement can be filmed into a red war theme to educate primary and secondary school students... Definitely not a loss! ”

Of course, after announcing the director Xu Ke and starring Cheng Long and Ni Dahong, many investors rushed over in an instant...

Not for anything else, just for starring Cheng Long!

Cheng Long has been really awesome in recent years.

Of course, Shen Xudong knew that after the Boao Forum next year, he would officially fall into a low ebb of fame...

Therefore, Shen Xudong has to ensure that "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" will be released during the Spring Festival next year!

Xu Ke has never lost in terms of efficiency.

In order to catch up with the schedule, Hu Jinquan was directly driven away, and he formed a team to shoot "New Dragon Gate Inn"...

After all, if you can't catch up with the schedule, the boss will be forced to return the money by the overseas filmmakers, and the boss will be refunded... Think about how they will be treated!

Of course, Shen Xudong is not like this.

So, he personally came to supervise!

……

Shi Nansheng is the producer of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and she admires Shen Xudong very much.

At the age of 24, he started from scratch and is worth more than 2 billion.

The key is that his judgment of the film market is too accurate.

More knowledgeable than most of the bosses she knew before...

The key is that he rarely intervenes in the shooting - except for the preliminary preparations, he will make a general request, and at other times he completely respects the director...

Shen Xudong came to "Outwit Tiger Mountain" to visit the class, mainly to see the progress...

Fortunately, the scene in the snow town has come to an end - the on-site shooting in Mudanjiang Snow Township took five months!

The main thing is that the temperature, more than 30 degrees below zero, the equipment is really unbearable, and I can only shoot for three or four hours a day...

The camera is very expensive, and I can't stand it for high or low temperatures!

- The battery is the component that is most affected by temperature changes. When the temperature drops by 10°C (18°F), the battery may be drained by more than half... This damage is permanent!

Fortunately, I survived...

Now he mainly shoots indoor scenes with scenes, and shoots them at Huairou Film and Television Base.

Shen Xudong spent most of his time watching Xu Ke filming and never intervened...

"I listened to them, "Red Cliff" has become a laughing stock?"

"It's not that exaggerated... It's a box office hit! ”

“… Some people say you're targeting Wu Yusen? ”

"Am I targeting him? What qualifications does he have for me to target? Is he liamine? Won an Oscar? ”
