Since 2002, when the era of mainland blockbusters began.

There have been many blockbusters that have proven a truth.

That is, when the publicity of a movie is much higher than the quality of the movie itself, the ending of the movie is generally not good.

This truth was fulfilled again in May '08.

By mid-May, after the super popularity and results of "The King of Kung Fu" in the first week, word-of-mouth and box office quickly fell off a cliff.

It has been in theaters for three weeks so far.

The mainland was originally expected to have a box office close to 500 million, but now it is only worth more than 300 million.

The results in North America are not bad.

After all, it's a kung fu movie, and the movie plot is more inclined to Hollywood.

So the overall box office came to $42 million.

The results in the rest of the regions are also okay, with an overall total of about $25 million.

In less than a month after its release, the global box office exceeded 100 million US dollars.

This is a very good result, especially for Chinese themes.

So the actors of "The King of Kung Fu" are happy.

Li Binbin is the biggest gain this time.

A white-haired witch, very impressive.

Hollywood has deliberately thrown an olive branch to her.

Zhou Gongzi's Golden Swallow is also okay, although the bonus is far less than that of Li Binbin, but at least she can be regarded as an actor who has acted in Hollywood blockbusters.

Cheng Long and Lianjie don't need to say it, those who get paid, leave after the performance, and the quality of the film has nothing to do with them.

Of course, compared with Lian Jie, Cheng Long is the more stable one.

Last year, he had "Peak 3" and "Kung Fu Panda" endorsed, even if "The King of Kung Fu" hit the street a little harder, for him, he felt that it was irrelevant.

Lian Jie is also very confident, because "The Mummy 3" has been filmed and will be released in the second half of the year.

There is this film, "The King of Kung Fu" pounces a little, and it is not a big problem.

So going around and around, the last one who was injured was still the king of Huayi.

The cost of "The King of Kung Fu" is high after all.

The cost of 600 million yuan, that is, the cost of nearly 80 million US dollars.

According to the account sharing, at least about $180 million at the box office will be required to recoup.

So "The King of Kung Fu" is clearly unqualified in this regard.

However, mainland media people do not think that Huayi will lose.

Huayi is not a star after all.

The movies of Renxingchen are not all account-sharing overseas, and only Southeast Asia and North America and a few other countries can really achieve regular account sharing.

The rest of the regions are flexible, but in general, there are not many regions where Xingchen will really choose to share the account.

Huayi doesn't have the strength of Xingchen, can he do this?

Therefore, everyone's preconceived idea is to calculate from the income from the copyright sale.

Then someone revealed that the copyright of "The King of Kung Fu" was sold very high, at least 50 million US dollars.

$80 million sells for $50 million, the mainland and Xiangjiang are split, plus advertising revenue, how do you think Huayi can return to its original cost?

But soon someone revealed that Huayi was taking the account sharing route overseas this time, and it was signing accounts with more than 40 countries at one time, including Lao Mei.

Now many people in the industry are not calm.

Because if that's the case, then according to the current results of "The King of Kung Fu".

Huayi has more to lose!

Because if you divide the account, the maximum amount you get is only 3%.

According to the current box office, that is, the cost of 80 million US dollars, now it can only recover more than 30 million at most?

Many peers in the industry covered their mouths for the first time and tried their best not to laugh out loud.

Then look back at the stars of Lu Ping'an.

Then I sighed again that Lu Ping'an was really fierce, and he really hadn't lost much so far.

So some people began to ridicule that the king had no way to live safely, but he got that disease!

Of course, the king of Huayi was silent about this.

They had already prepared the draft.

That's the same as "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" back then: we still earn it!

Anyway, you still have to speak hard, tears must flow to your heart, and you must not bow your head!

In fact, the big and small kings have begun to contact all kinds of capital, prepare funds for bridging, borrowing and other matters, and began to have dinner with the theater company, seeking to shorten the settlement cycle, and even began to plan to sell shares.

Because they have already calculated that they will have to lose at least 200 million yuan this time.

"Assembly" has just earned them more than 100 million, and now they have to go in!

The big and small kings were bitter in their hearts.

At this time, a fund company with a scale of 60 billion yuan called Xiaozhi invested in an olive branch.

The conditions were okay, but at the beginning, of course, the big and small kings did not loosen up so quickly.

They actually still have expectations for the box office.

After all, there was no other film for the whole of May or even June.

"The King of Kung Fu" will be postponed for another month or two, and maybe it will be back tens of millions.

But they don't know that it's no longer possible.

Because it's already mid-May.

。。。。。。

"Ping'an's judgment is still accurate! It's really not good to say that Huayi can't do it. ”

Shunyi farmhouse courtyard, Zhang Songwen and others gathered

Zhang Songwen expressed his opinion on the current situation of "The King of Kung Fu".

Huang Bo also nodded: "Indeed, he has never made a mistake in judgment." ”

Ning Hao took a sip of tea: "This is innate, it's not easy to compare." ”

Monday sang the opposite: "There are times when there are mistakes." ”

Lin Jiachuan: "For example? ”

Monday poured tea: "For example, the box office of his own movies will always be underestimated." ”

"Phew!" ×N。

After everyone chatted about "The King of Kung Fu" for a while, they then started talking about something else.

Wu Jing was also there at the scene, and Wu Jing's "Wolf Teeth" had just finished filming.

He sent a copy of the film to Xingchen, but because Lu Ping'an was not there, the responsibility of helping the staff was handed over to Ning Hao.

Ning Hao and Wu Jing have also known each other for a long time because of Lu Ping'an.

But for the movie, of course, Ning Hao is not like Lu Ping'an, so after making some requirements that seem good, he brought Wu Jing to the party.

Everyone and Wu Jing also know each other, but they are not particularly familiar.

Zhang Songwen doesn't care, because this small courtyard is newly rented, and he is naturally happy when it is popular.

Then everyone talked about their next work.

Zhou Zhouwei's current plays are all the absolute protagonists, and at the same time, he does not seek a breakthrough in movies, so he still focuses on TV series.

Next, he will join the group "Eight Hundred Miles of Dongting My Home", a drama supported by the government, which was introduced by his mother to promote his hometown, and there is an advantage to acting in this kind of drama, which can expand government contacts in the future.

Then Wu Jing knew that Zhou Yiwei's mother was still a national first-class choreographer!

Let's talk about Zhang Songwen, Zhang Songwen has been low-key all the way after winning the Berlin actor, and there are many drama appointments, but he still chooses what he likes.

For example, he will join Zhang Li's "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", playing a Kuomintang villain, but not the protagonist.

"There is a pursuit!" Wu Jing gave a thumbs up.

followed by Ning Hao, who was busy this year.

"Wonderful Night 2" will be watched in the later stage, "Happy Family" will be filmed quickly, and "We Are from the Future 2" and "Crazy Racing" will also be filmed, as well as various activities.

"Great directors are different!" Everyone was amazed.

Of course, the busiest are actually the artists of Xingchen.

Huang Bo has now deeply felt Lu Ping'an's love.

He just finished filming "Wonderful Night 2", "Bullfighting" and "Stubborn Radish", all of which are the protagonists, and then there is "Crazy Racing" and participating in "Nightclub" and "People in Embarrassment", and this year's rest time is basically gone.

Baoqiang, Zhang Yi and Zhang Guoqiang will also make cameos.

And the three of them will form an iron triangle again this year.

Zhang Yi and Zhang Guoqiang just finished "My Group" some time ago, and they will start "Shunyu" with Baoqiang next.

The topic of everyone then turned to the anti-Japanese drama.

And then soon, there was a place to go if there was no drama on the scene.

For example, Lin Jiachuan, although this young man was in Lu Ping'an's circle before, he also had a lot of fox friends and dog friends, what this second generation and that second generation, he looked very good, but after a few years, he had already discovered that all of them were silver-like pewter heads.

So this time it can be regarded as a return to the embrace of the circle of peace.

Wu Jing said that he was also going to make a cameo, he liked this kind of military drama a lot, and he had never had a chance to try it before.

Of course Baoqiang is willing.

Since "Soldier Assault", he has been the protagonist again, although he is very popular now, he is still a little unconfident about "whether he can carry the drama".

So it is certainly beneficial for a star like Wu Jing to make a cameo.

As for whether or not you can make a cameo, this is actually not a problem at all, the project is its own, just talk to the director and the eldest brother, and it will not affect the plot anyway.

Then we chatted for a while, and soon the restaurant arrived, and everyone started to cook.

The small farm yard is good at this, although the equipment is relatively backward, but it is comfortable.

The chickens were housed next door and had just been bought.

Eggs are also earthy.

The fish, the meat, and the vegetables are all fresh.

And the little yellow dog.

The little yellow dog is trembling now, he has never seen such a bloody scene since he was born.

But an instinct derived from genes quickly whittled it up.

As a result, he was grabbed by Baoqiang and forced to do several 180-degree loops in the air

After a meal, everyone continued to chat in the courtyard.

But before they could talk for long, Zhang Songwen, Baoqiang and others soon received calls from their respective agents.

Then soon, the faces of everyone in the courtyard changed.

Then faster, Ning Hao said directly: "Go, go to the company, organize people!" ”

Except for Lin Jiachuan, the rest of the people prepared to set off without any hesitation.

This scene made Wu Jing feel emotional.

He could see it.

Lu Ping'an's group of friends are actually similar to himself.

Not so much to do!

It's all right.

It's a good feeling.

"Count me in!"

"Stop talking nonsense, get in the car!"

"It's coming!"

Wu Jing quickly followed (end of this chapter)
