Chapter 125: Connotation?

What else, last weekend produced a total of 320 million box office, "Nine-Story Demon Tower" directly occupied 65% of the market, leaving 112 million.

"The Four Famous Catches" and "Painted Skin 2" together took away nearly 35 million, and there is also a comedy "Get Father-in-law", starring Xu Zheng, the box office is not high, 8 million...

Although it is not high, it really took away 8 million, in addition, "The Story of Old Lacey", "Pen Fairy", "McDull Dangdang Accompany My Heart", "Twelve Constellations Bizarre Events" and other old films add up to almost 6 million...

The remaining 63 million "Listeners to the Wind" and "Disappearing Bullets" are divided...

The theater chain is still very willing to support "The Wind Listener", after all, the starring lineup is Liang Chaowei + Zhou Xun, directors Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, who are famous, not to mention the blessing of "The Wind"...

But "Nine-Story Demon Tower" is too strong, although the film schedule is 40%, the box office is close to five times that of "The Wind Listener"!

- The box office of "The Wind Listener" in the first weekend was 40.8 million...

"Disappearing Bullet" is miserable, in terms of actors, casts, director lineups, and even the distribution company behind the scenes, it is completely unequal!

"The Vanishing Bullet passed 20 million in its first weekend... It is estimated that the total box office is up to 50 million! ”

"Xie Tingfeng can't bear the box office!"

This is a consensus!

Although Wang Xie has the Academy Award Grand Slam, I have to say that his acting skills are average and his acting career is not wide.

The box office performance is very poor, and the highest box office record as the first starring actor is 220 million yuan in "One Life", which is unbeatable in today's market where the box office often breaks 1 billion and 800 million.

Especially "The Decisive Battle of the God of Food", which was given to the post-Spring Festival stalls, invited Ge You and Zhan Ruiwen to help with the play, and the final box office was worth breaking 100 million...

Even in "Streets of Rage", the role he plays is also the anti-No. 1!

β€œβ€¦ There are a few Hong Kong stars who can resist the box office..."Shen Xudong waved his hand: "In the current market, the blockbusters are more than 500 million, and the gang of people in Hong Kong, from directors to actors, have a box office of two or three hundred million at most, and they are not opponents at all!" ”

"It's not, Golden Harvest..."

"Golden Harvest has never advertised itself as a Hong Kong movie, and we have always spoken Chinese movies in our promotion!"

……

This year's summer file is different from previous years, with two or three domestic films released every week, and there is no shortage of strong distributors behind it.

No way, in the first six months, Hollywood blockbusters were too fierce, if it weren't for "When a Man Falls in Love", "Search", and "Why Sheng Xiaomo" performed okay - at least the market performed well, and it can be directly described as annihilated!

Even Shen Xudong has to avoid its edge, not to mention other domestic films.

That... What about so many movies that are produced?

You must know that 2010 is a new climax for film filing, two years have passed, although most of the projects ended in miscarriage, but there are many completed projects...

The coal boss has fed more than half of the circle!

Then the three movies "Suit Thug", "Painted Skin 2", and "Nine-Story Demon Tower" were released one after another, and they hit a lot of box office one after another!

"Suit Thug" is slightly worse, but it also has a box office of 360 million, and the most important thing: overseas copyrights sell very well!

The big plate of the film market is a given, your share of the cake is big, and mine is small...

"Nine-Story Demon Tower" was released for ten days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 500 million - the box office of the next week exceeded the first week!

Then "The Wind Listener", "Disappearing Bullet", including the newly released "Stunning Weapon", are unlucky: after entering the working day, the single-day box office of "Nine-Story Demon Tower" remained around 35 million, and it won 150 million the next weekend, accounting for more than 75% of the market!

Then, a lot of people started to get upset...

Secretly poke and poke and say 'break the rules', 'Why don't you release it as a family!' 'Something like that...

Among them is Yu Dong.

Bona's two movies "Stunning Weapons" in this summer's file, as well as "Hedong Lion's Roar 2"...

"Stunning Weapon", directed by Mak Zishan, Mai Zishan is one of the three famous editors in Hong Kong, the queen editor of Tsui Hark's martial arts films, and later, Mak Zishan and Wang Jingchao participated in films such as "Voyeurism and Innocence (), "Agent Chiguo", "Office has a ghost" and so on.

"Stunning Weapon" is the name of the mainland, and Hong Kong is directly called "Red Fruit Warrior", and the English name is "Naked Soldier"...

Sounds like a three-tiered one!

Wang Jing promoted various things on Weibo: "Chiguo Agent" was completed, and NMLGB was exploded!

Really, "Stunning Weapon" is all over the last century, and if you find Qiu Shuzhen to star, it is definitely a bad movie, a garbage plot, and disgusting laughs...

By the way, the starring role is Xie Tingting.

It's ugly... I feel that Xie Qiwang's women's clothes are more than ten times better than his sister!

This broken movie was scolded for being released in Hong Kong for three days, and it was released in the mainland, catching up with the next week of "Nine-Story Demon Tower"...

Then the box office of "Stunning Weapon" did not reach 1.5 million in three days...

That's right, it's 1.5 million!

The reason is very simple, none of the main creators of this film came to the mainland to publicize, so Wang Jing shouted a few words on Weibo...

Many people don't even know that such a movie exists.

Yu Dong's Bona Ke is the producer and mainland distributor - Yu Dong signed a three-year cooperation agreement with Wang Jing, and it was also during this period that Wang Jing launched the "Greater Shanghai" and "Macau Vice" series.

to "Macau Fengyun 3", the two sides were forced to break up...

Pull it back, in fact, Yu Dong doesn't want to provoke Shen Xudong - the last one who provoked him was Zhang Weiping, but now he is ruined!

But... Bona was suppressed too hard.

Bona relied on Hong Kong directors from the beginning, and now he still relies on Hong Kong directors, the most important thing - Huang Jianxin was poached by Shen Xudong!

Huang Jianxin is not only a leading figure of the fifth generation of directors, but also a pioneer of Chinese film co-productions, and is familiar with the production process of Hollywood and Hong Kong films.

Behind the several heavyweight movies created by Bona are Huang Jianxin's formation.

Especially "Changjin Lake", it is purely a plate of Huang Jianxin's group!

He now serves as the director of TiMi Entertainment's content production department, in addition to his own company, Shanghai Sanyuan Film Co., Ltd., TiMi directly invests 400 million, accounting for 60% of the shares, and does not participate in daily operations...

Of course, Huang Jianxin also reciprocated, and several "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were all supervised by him, and Fu Ruoqing was also brought in to supervise together...

It's called political endorsement!

In addition to Huang Jianxin, Tsui Hark, Chen Kexin, and Lin Chaoxian are all under Golden Harvest - Tsui Hark's film studio was directly acquired by Golden Harvest with 51% of the shares!

The only people Yu Dong can rely on are Liu Weiqiang, Wang Jing and Er Dongsheng...

Liu Weiqiang doesn't seem to be able to film anymore after going north, to be precise, after leaving Mak Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang, he handed in three movies, "Dragon and Phoenix", "Jingwu Fengyun", and "No Longer Let You Be Lonely", one is worse than the other...

As for Wang Jing - he is now concentrating on "Big Shanghai" - the movie where Wang Jing lost his underwear last time was still the "Future Police" with Andy Lau.

Looking back, Wang Jing felt that he had lost to the team behind the scenes.

So when he arrived at "Big Shanghai", he was ready to finish his work and found all his golden partners in Hong Kong.

Wen Jun + Liu Weiqiang.

The former achieved Jiang Wen's debut novel "Sunny Day", and was called the squad leader by Jiang Wen, and he is also one of the few people in the Hong Kong circle who can speak well in the Beijing circle.

Liu Weiqiang, as mentioned above - in fact, as early as 1995, Wang Jing, Liu Weiqiang, and Wen Jun co-founded the "Best Partner" company.

The first movie of the group was "Crazy Boy", Wen Jun rushed the script overnight, Wang Jing brought in Ekin Cheng, and Liu Weiqiang took the camera.

The three of them work together and are invincible.

Millions of Hong Kong dollars invested, 15-day shooting cycle, and a local box office of over 20 million.

"Crazy Boy" was a huge success, and the series then branched out.

In its heyday, the best partner company could make more than a dozen movies a year.

has achieved a box office myth in Hong Kong film history!

"Greater Shanghai", written by Wen Jun, produced by Liu Weiqiang, directed by Wang Jing, starring Zhou Runfa, this lineup is decided!

Ahem...

In fact, Shen Xudong didn't want to see Yu Dong - after Ya went public, he also went to do real estate!

β€”β€”Won the luxury housing project at No. 3 West Workers' Stadium Road in BJDC District.

A company that makes movies doesn't work content, but invests in real estate?

In addition, which of the new generation of directors in the mainland has anything to do with Bona?

Ning Hao has a bad monkey subsidiary, which supported Wen Muye and the Olympic bid;

Chen Sicheng is also a master in this area, the "Manslaughter" series and "She Who Disappeared" are all new directors, and they have a Hollywood creative background, they are more daring in the creation of genre films, close to the taste of young people, and Chen Sicheng personally controls it on the set...

In addition, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, and Rao Xiaozhi formed a small team...

In addition, Yu Dong has an unusual relationship with Xi Mihua, Xi Mihua has cooperated with Bona for a long time, Yu Dong has personally admitted to buying the box office, and Bona Ghost Field has been picked up many times...

But... Bona and TiMi Media are not at the same level at all - Bona Nasdaq is listed with a market value of about 900 million US dollars.

What about TiMi?

Golden Harvest alone has a market value of 36 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Therefore, Yu Dong connotates Tianmei Media, and Shen Xudong directly posted a sentence on Weibo, 'Don't find reasons from yourself, specifically pick on other people's thorns, with such a boss, no wonder Bona can't develop!' Looking forward to next month's "Hedong Lion's Roar 2", by the way, should "Sweeping Drugs", "Wolong", and "Cold War" be withdrawn? ’

In the afternoon, I went to pay the violation fine, and the queue time was a bit long...

In addition, there is no penalty for the first violation
