Chapter 412: A Difficult April, Fighting Guerrillas
The Film Bureau rarely announced the domestic box office data ranking for the first quarter.
In addition to "Pacific Rim", which is a co-production, topped the list with a box office of 1.42 billion.
The second to fifth places are all imported blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible 4", "Alien Battlefield", and "Sherlock Holmes 2".
In other words, in the top 5 box office rankings in the first quarter, imported films accounted for 4 and a half. And the box office share is more than 60%!
Looking at this detailed data, the production companies in the industry are a little unrefreshed. It's not going to be like this all year long, right?
Although when everyone promoted, the slogans were very loud, and they swore that their movies would never lose to imported films! But every time the box office data comes out, it is a slap in the face, and there is no other result.
This year is another year of surging imports, and many film companies have even less confidence and confidence.
……
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei contributed to the box office of "Titanic 3D".
The theater was simply overcrowded, all for this movie, and the attendance rate was very high.
In the screening room, the light was dim. Even so, the two girls next door stared at Miss Liu for a long time, and finally one of the girls made a joke: You look like Liu Yifei!
When Lin Nan heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter, Liu Yifei was still playful, and replied with a smile: "Really?" That's what everybody says. ”
……
Girls, most of them are immersed in the plot, and occasionally sigh at the shock of the 3D effect, the Titanic giant ship seems to be about to sail out of the screen......
Lin Nan is more impressed by the technology of Cameron's team.
You must know that it is quite difficult to reset an old 2D film into a 3D blockbuster that is not inferior to the real shot through technology, and the picture quality is still so good, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly.
What's more, this visual effect is more shocking than many real-life 3D shots now!
……
When the movie is almost over, Liu Yifei is exposed, and Lin Nan will definitely not be able to escape.
If it weren't for the help of the security guards, the two of them would almost not be able to get out of the cinema and were surrounded by groups.
A group of red-eyed people who had just finished watching the movie were going to take a picture around you, and how weird and weird the scene was.
The key is that Liu Yifei also has red eyes, how can she be photogenic?
"You're still laughing, everyone is infected by the plot, so you're happy there."
Sitting in the co-pilot, Liu Yifei glanced at Lin Nan and thought about it in pieces.
She is without makeup today, and her face is red and pink at this time, and she is very good-looking.
"I also want to be infected by the plot, but as soon as I see Jack in the movie, I can't help but think of Leonardo in reality.
Where are the handsome guys? Now it's an uncle, an uncle with a beard, the kind of flower that is very flowery! Recently, I heard that it seems that I have changed into a lingerie model......"
Lin Nan said with a smile. After dealing with Xiao Lizi at close range, he really couldn't look directly at "Titanic".
"Poof, how can you say that to others.
However, he is really too distracted, you have to learn from it! Otherwise, hum ......"
…………
The next day, the first-day box office of "Titanic 3D" came out.
The entire production industry, especially the domestic films released in April, all look like they are facing a great enemy.
"After fifteen years, "Titanic" was re-released in a 3D version, and the box office on the first day was reported to be 73.2 million!"
"Today's attendance rate is better than yesterday's, and major theaters will simultaneously increase the film scheduling rate."
"Liu Yifei and Lin Nan appeared in the theater and were recognized by the audience when they watched "Titanic", causing congestion in the theater ......"
……
What does the box office of 73.2 million on the first day and the overwhelming praise mean?
This means that the box office potential of the 3D version of "Titanic" will run through the entire month of April, and if it can be postponed, it will also enter May.
Domestic films such as "The Great Robbery", "Killing", and "Piff" have all felt great pressure.
Ning Hao called Lin Nan:
"Alas, I really made you right, it's been 15 years, and this 'ship' is still so fierce!
I've decided to double the publicity effort in the future......"
Not only "The Great Robbery", "Piff" and "Killing" also began intensive publicity.
Movie posters and promotional videos are spread all over theaters and media, and many actors and stars on Weibo are helping to advertise.
…………
The Hong Kong Island Awards were awarded.
As expected by the public, all the shortlisted films under Yinghuang were all received.
The crew of "Let the Bullets Fly", which has 13 nominations, was not present. But when the awards were presented, this movie was still taken out again and again to talk about things and step up, which was full of irony.
Jiang Wen couldn't stand this anger, and immediately began to write small compositions on Weibo, the kind without a dirty word!
……
This year, the mainland's film and television entertainment industry has already shown signs of dire straits.
On the film side, it is facing the strong impact of imported films; In the field of performing arts and entertainment, South Korea is also eyeing it.
EXO, which has just debuted, has exploded in the mainland like this, and even firmly occupies the headlines of entertainment news, which is incredible.
Huang Xiaoming was very smart and decided to prepare for the premiere of "Piff" in advance.
He personally called and invited Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, and he had to give this face.
Before Huang Bo said with certainty that he would only come back to participate in the premiere of "Killing", he had to take time to fly back to participate in the promotional activities.
…………
"Director Lin, Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" has just been announced. At this time, there is a lot of discussion in the circle. Zhang Ziyi took the lead, and a large number of celebrities were posting messages to celebrate ......"
Lin Nan opened the webpage, and the news of "The Grandmaster" was refreshing rapidly, among which Zhang Ziyi's Weibo was the most eye-catching:
"After years of preparation and two and a half years of shooting, "The Grandmaster" directed by Wang Jiawei will surely become a classic. I am honored to star in this movie, and I am honored to see ...... in the Chinese New Year."
"The Grandmaster is my return since Hollywood, the most attentive movie......"
……
……
Even the filmmaker just made an announcement very simply, and the other actors were just a Weibo.
Zhang Ziyi alone was the most "excited", and posted five or six Weibo posts in a row, sycophancy, touting, gratitude and excitement......
Lin Nan couldn't help but smile, "This should be the biggest director and crew she cooperated with after she was kicked out of Hollywood, right?" ”
"Well, it seems like that. When it comes to utilitarianism, this one is written on his face, but he has been very unsuccessful in the past few years......"
Zhang Ziyi's position in the circle is very embarrassing now.
She started from a high start, but she couldn't afford the box office.
In those years, he went to Hollywood, and for a time he was in the same limelight, belittled and offended many big domestic flowers, and ignored and lost the mainland market.
After being swept away, and when she came back, there was no place for her in the mainland, and the big flowers had already divided the basic plates.
She can't get the top resources, and she can't look down on the ordinary, and in general, she has been eating the old book.
I even met Lin Nan a few times on the way, and I played the idea of a movie, but in the end Lin Nan rejected it on the grounds that it was not suitable.
This "Grandmaster" is the best resource she has access to, and she just got it with her foreigner boyfriend. At that time, the outside world didn't know that she had been dumped.
Come to think of it, Zhang Ziyi should hope that this movie will be released as soon as possible more than anyone else.
……
"Many media have started to talk about "Ip Man" again, and they are asking our company's "Ip Man", when will it be opened?"
"After "One Man's Martial Arts" is over, you can prepare "Ip Man 3".
…………
"The Avengers" will only be screened less than five times at the Capital International Film Festival, and it will be an uncut version.
With the urine nature of domestic film festivals, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter this kind of movie, most of them are insiders or media.
Lin Nan felt that when the time came, he could take Liu Yifei to watch this popcorn movie together. Therefore, he deliberately got a few tickets from China Film.
"This is the first time you've taken the initiative to take me to the movies! In the past, when did I not bring it up? ”
Liu Yifei complained about Lin Nan, but she smiled brightly.
"Miss Liu is right, I was careless, and I will definitely pay attention in the future."
Lin Nan patted her chest and assured that she was indeed a little embarrassed to be pointed out by Miss Liu.
…………
Huayi announced the cast of "Shendu Dragon King", and the film will start shooting in early May.
The audience and netizens were a little unacceptable. Because in addition to Carina Lau, the cast has changed blood.
Liu Dehao's Di Renjie was replaced by Zhao Youting, and all the old drama bones in the first part were replaced by young actors, Feng Shaofeng, Lin Gengxin, and Chen Kun, which had a sense of going to the fan group.
Even the female number one has become a newcomer like Yang Ying who has no acting skills, and the first part is Li Bingbing!
Although the costume props of the first part were sprayed to the skin, the storyline is really good.
Now that there is a big change of actors, in the eyes of many people, there must be another "dirty" and "conspiracy" in it, after all, whose series will do this? Aren't they all as original as possible?
"It is suspected that Liu Dehao and other starring actors, the salary is too high. Huayi strongly asked Xu Ke to change his role to reduce production costs. ”
"In order to praise his own artists, Huayi did not hesitate to replace all the acting ......"
"The actor is not at the same level, and it is too unrealistic to praise Yang Ying."
……
is also an investment of 130 million, but it has been replaced by a group of cheaper young people;
Insiders have questions, Huayi's movie, is the proportion of special effects costs larger, otherwise how can it be the same as the investment amount of the first part?
……
"Titanic 3D" is really fierce, and the daily box office has been maintained at more than 70 million, 80 million, 90 million......
The production companies that have movies released in April have already begun to be frightened, how can this be played?
In two days, there will be several imported blockbusters such as "Operation Miami", "Operation New York", "Super Battleship" and "Soul Chariot 2", and there will be no fun!
Lin Nan saw Ning Hao's speech in front of the media:
"Now domestic films, in the face of imported Hollywood films, can only fight guerrillas, there is no other way......"
