Chapter Ninety-Four: Crushing Bureau
"See the World" has two issues a month, and this issue is estimated to be officially launched on the 15th.
So, in terms of the promotion of the movie, it's useless - it's been almost 20 days since Du Nima was released!
This is not the various invitations issued by "Look at the World", and Gao Fenfen persuaded him to accept it.
In addition, there are "People", "Southern Weekly", "Sanlian Life Weekly" waiting in line...
And even Time ...
Shen Xudong was looking at the box office of "Painted Skin" in the past two days, and when he heard the name of "Time", he couldn't help but ask: ""Time"? That magazine in the United States? ”
"Yes..."
"Give Han Han a 'citizen Han Han's "Times"?"
“… Yes..."
"No..."
After Shen Xudong asked clearly, he directly refused...
What 'citizen Han Han' is clearly 'well-known Han Han'!
Chen Xi frowned: "The authority of Time Magazine is not only driven by the characters on the cover, because Time Magazine has a long history and has witnessed the changes in the world in the past 100 years, and it is written in English and can be spread to the world..."
Shen Xudong shook his head: "But it's an American magazine... It represents the American worldview..."
"I find you a bit of a persecution paranoia..."
Chen Xi was about to say something, but Shen Xudong suddenly changed his mind: "... Okay, you tell them to wait half a month to come back! ”
“… Half a month? What are you doing? ”
"The promotional movie and the later stage of "33 Days of Broken Love"..."Shen Xudong changed the topic: "Have you watched the box office of "Painted Skin" three days ago? ”
“… 60.8 million, yesterday's box office was as high as 24 million..."
"Well," Shen Xudong still smiled: "Yesterday's market totaled 29 million, and "Painted Skin" accounted for more than 80%!" ”
Chen Xi nodded: ""Witness" and "Li Mi's Conjecture" have a good reputation, but unfortunately, the attendance rate is too low..."
"What about 'Intimacy'?"
""Intimacy" doesn't have a lot of films scheduled at all... Ekin Cheng has crossed a lot in the past few years, but whenever he starred in the movies, the box office was not good! ”
"Intimacy", Ekin Cheng's partner Lin Jiaxin, Anle Film and Television Production, Light Distribution, Original Time and Space, the box office did not reach 8 million...
But director Kishi was very strong, and the next year he made "Full Moon Hennessy", and continued to look for Ekin Cheng to star, but the box office still failed miserably...
There is a saying that Ekin Cheng suddenly became popular, and many people said that he didn't want to be popular...
Isn't that!
How can there be an actor who doesn't want to be popular?
The real reason is that because of the failure of the upgrading of the Hong Kong film industry, Ekin Cheng's transformation failed, and thus suddenly fell.
He became popular because of "Crazy Boy", and then entered the threshold of superstar with Hong Kong costume blockbusters, but he was deeply bound to Hong Kong special effects blockbusters, "Fengyun" succeeded, and then there were "Chinese Heroes", "The Battle of the Forbidden Peak", and later "The Legend of Shushan"...
It's a pity that after 2000, Hong Kong no longer makes special effects blockbusters!
In fact, Ekin Cheng in this time period also has police films "Two Heroes" and "Three Forks" in the local market, romance films "My Wife is Under 18 Years Old", "Anna and Wulin", horror films "The First Commandment", "Forest Injustice" and so on...
Is this resource poor? It's really not bad.
The real sense of resource degradation is actually the box office fiasco of "Fengyun 2", "Fengyun 2", it is really a top-level investment, top-level industry, top-level lineup costume magic blockbuster, but the box office hit again, this time Ekin Cheng was completely knocked on the street, and then there was a bad movie...
By the way, the "Fengyun" series is now the copyright of Golden Harvest...
Do you want to do "Fengyun 2" and how to do it?
Pulling it back, Chen Xi continued: "... I listened to the theater chain that the prime field of "Painted Skin" is close to 90%..."
""The Witness" is not well scheduled?"
"There's not much publicity at all, you say?"
"It's also..."
"Witness", is the movie of Zhang Jiahui + Xie Tingfeng, with a good reputation, Zhang Jiahui won 7 actors, successfully transformed, and joined the Hong Kong star Lianlian lineup...
- Later, the male protagonists in Hong Kong films or co-productions are always those veteran actors (Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui, Ren Dahua, Wu Zhenyu, Lin Jiadong, Gu Tianluo)... Their permutations and combinations in twos and threes, their faces are so familiar that the most loyal Hong Kong film audiences can't help but get bored, so they call it Lianlian...
Why isn't "The Witness" promoted?
Because... The Emperor has no money!
It has little to do with the big photo exhibition, mainly due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis, and Hong Kong itself has a developed financial industry...
Therefore, Emperor News's "Witness" still has a very good box office in the adverse market, which has given the film company a shot in the arm, and it is not afraid of the financial tsunami and decided to spend 100 million yuan on the film next year..."
Tsk, 100 million yuan is embarrassed to be described as 'throwing'?
Golden Harvest's "Liao Zhai" series and "Three Kingdoms" series, each of which starts at a cost of 50 million.
Chen Xi took the box office report: ""Li Mi's Conjecture" has a good reputation, but... This drama is not entertaining, it relies purely on Zhou Xun alone, and it does not pose a threat to "Painted Skin". ”
"Did Brother Huayi say anything?"
“… What can they say, the weekly contract expires at the beginning of 10 years ... It is estimated that I will have to leave Huayi by then..."Speaking of this, Chen Xi suddenly suggested: "You say, how about I sign her?" ”
"It's not good..."Shen Xudong shook his head: "She is 34 years old this year, I heard that she stays up late, smokes, drinks, and has bad habits, and her state can't last for a few years..."
"Also, after the actor turns 40, it's almost time to give way... I'd better find a few younger ones! ”
"Zhang Hanyun and Zhao Liying are very young!"
"Young fart, let me tell you, now they are looking for the post-90s, some time ago, I saw two XJ girls, both with long legs and good looks!"
"Then sign it... I'm gone..."
Shen Xudong didn't even bother to ask which two XJ girls...
It's just a reserve, and it's definitely underage, there's no need to pay attention now!
……
In fact, it can be seen that everyone has a judgment on the market and a cognition of the schedule.
Otherwise, there would not be four movies released in the National Day file.
"Painted Skin", "Intimacy", "Witness", "Li Mi's Conjecture"...
In terms of word-of-mouth alone, "Witness" and "Li Mi's Conjecture" are in the first gear, and the word-of-mouth of "Painted Skin" is only about 7 points, after all, the special effects are really poor - you can't do it too realistically, if it's too realistic, it will be cut;
And the part of Wang Sheng's dream was edited...
It's Wang Sheng's dream of turning clouds and rain with Xiao Wei...
I'm worried that I'm too cyan to pass the trial.
This results in a slightly less rhythmic sense...
Movies, there must be shortcomings, "Painted Skin" at least has a coherent plot, the fights are not bad, and the most important thing is that the actors are really good!
Zhou Xun, Chen Hao, and Deng Chao all contributed the top performances...
Therefore, although there are four movies, it is basically the crushing game of "Painted Skin".
After the official start of the National Day, "Painted Skin" beat three other movies all the way, including "Departure Today", which was released after the National Day...
As of October 2nd, "Painted Skin" was released for five days, with a box office of more than 100 million, and on October 8, nine days after its release, "Painted Skin" had a cumulative box office of 170 million...
Then, a Hollywood blockbuster, "Wanted" was released!
