In 2009, the film market was very lively.

"If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" sang all the way, and the dark horse of "Ip Man" became more and more courageous.

The two big-headed blockbusters have given the entire Lunar New Year box office market a piece of heaven.

After that, the rest of the second-tier films can be played freely.

Xu Laowei + Zhou Gongzi's "Women Are Not Bad", Liu Ye's "Tough Guy" have achieved good results, plus the Hollywood blockbuster "007 Breaking Quantum of Solace".

formed the second echelon to harvest the topic heat.

Among them, the popularity of the T0 echelon is only two at the moment.

One is the upcoming "Under the Red Cliff".

John Woo encountered a crisis of word-of-mouth and criticism when he was in "On the Red Cliff".

But it does not prevent the filmmaker from hyping "Under the Red Cliff".

The other is the "first Spring Festival stall in the mainland" that Xingchen has been warming up since October.

Three comedy films, three teams, after a moderate campaign in October, November and December, are now also starting with a high-intensity campaign.

And these two topics also extend to a third topic.

That is, whether Lu Ping'an is deliberately blocking Orange Sky.

Sister Hua ran away from Orange Sky again and formed a studio with Lu Ping'an and Zhang Li.

The three movies of Xingchen were set at the speed of light after "Under the Red Cliff" was finalized.

Coupled with the earlier rumors that the "Japanese-funded Orange Sky" secretly attacked Lu Ping'an.

Many people feel that the battle at the end of this Lunar New Year file may not be so pure.

Of course, pure or not.

Since it's a commercial film.

That's naturally a commercial score.

On January 14th, the day before the release of "Under the Red Cliff", Huayi officially announced that "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 1" successfully broke 400 million.

Feng Dacang was promoted to a 400 million director.

To the surprise of the industry, Feng Dacang publicly expressed his gratitude to Lu Ping'an, and mentioned the plot reference of the "inventor" at the beginning of the film.

Xingchen also released an announcement on the official website to congratulate the cannon movie on its new achievements.

In the eyes of mainland counterparts, the awkward period between Xingchen and Huayi has ended.

In the eyes of some people in Xiangjiang, this is obviously because the Beijing circle has let go of the secondary contradiction and focused on the main contradiction.

Who is the main contradiction is naturally the capital of Hong Kong and Taiwan represented by Orange Sky and John Woo.

The matter of "carrying a sedan chair", the mainland of the original time and space dared not speak out, but now it is not the original time and space, some people are not used to it, of course you have to learn a lesson.

But again, everything depends on results.

On the 15th, "Under the Red Cliff" was finally released in the spotlight.

Theaters around the world have also ushered in a peak of passenger flow again after the bombardment of films such as "Do Not Disturb" and "Ip Man".

Xianjian Sanmei, who has just finished "Fairy Sword 3", organized a group into the theater this time, wanting to see what kind of movie this movie is on the road guide bar.

The results are predictable.

Halfway through, Tang Yan was woken up, Yang Mi went to the toilet and came back ten minutes, and was told that he still hadn't missed any plots.

When they got out of the theater, the three of them began to complain.

Today, I spent a long time washing my hair and putting on makeup, and it seems like more than two hours have been wasted.

It seems to be complaining, but the actual mood is not bad.

Although in their aesthetic opinion, the movie is actually quite good-looking, the scene is big, and the picture is good.

But on the whole, as long as the movie is not particularly amazing, there is not much threat to Lu Ping'an.

At this time, comments about "Under the Red Cliff" also came out on the Internet.

There are good and bad, mixed reviews.

Among them, the overall spit accounts for the majority.

"Sure enough, there are two kinds of bad movies, on the red cliff and under the red cliff"

"I think Tong Dawei is very reliable to play this kind of stupid child"

"John Woo still can't get rid of the brand of gangster films"

"When I saw half of it, my eyelids started to fight, and I just slept like this when I thought about it, and I'm sorry for the movie ticket that I got back from that coupon"

"The legendary big scene is just like that, it's not as good as the last episode, could it be that the screenwriting team of the next episode invited Zhang Jizhong?"

"The most hateful thing is to use the distorted history as an innovation, and I really want to crush my steel teeth."

"Sun Shangxiang is really ahead of his time, understands latentness, understands cartography, and knows the freedom of love"

Xiao Qiao went to Cao Ying alone, boiled tea, and scolded Master Cao. directly let Guan Erye's single knife go to the meeting is inferior"

"At the end of the movie, Zhuge Liang came out dancing tango, and my heart was grabbed again"

“.”

As for these comments, the filmmaker didn't think this was the real attitude of netizens at first.

They only think it's a malicious smear.

Who discredited?

Of course, the land is safe.

But data doesn't fool people.

The following week.

Online reviews are still mixed, with most of them being low-scoring evaluations.

Douban has a score of 6.4, which is higher than "On the Red Cliff".

The evaluation is also quite objective.

Although there are many shining points such as big scenes, costumes, actors' acting skills, and music.

However, topics such as falsifying history, excessive publicity, and carrying a sedan chair are still hard injuries.

Word of mouth is here, it's a fact.

If the word-of-mouth is really good, with such high publicity, the box office will definitely not be too bad.

But what about the result.

"Under the Red Cliff" won 146 million box office in a week.

This still includes pre-sales.

At this level, unless there is no next movie, let alone 500 million, even 300 million is enough.

And this is still in the case of sufficient film scheduling.

Orange Sky also wants to make a fuss about the squeezing of the Planetary Cinema Line.

As a result, Lu Ping'an was more atmospheric than everyone imagined.

The full line of films in Planet Cinema's "Under the Red Cliff" is even 5 points higher than that of its friends! It's almost the same as one more per day.

What do you mean?

To put it bluntly, "I handed you the gun, but you won't be able to use it if you give you a chance!" ”

The schedule gives you more, the time period is not bad, and the rest of the publicity has not made any stumbling blocks for you.

But you just can't.

Blame me?

Peers praised the safety of the road and the courage to the sky.

This kind of explosive self-confidence is simply a naked contempt for them in the eyes of the "Red Cliff" filmmaker.

In such a situation, it is definitely not possible to make a small report, Lu Ping'an just wants to watch you pounce with dignity.

The filmmaker also temporarily returned to calm and began to look at the reasons for the film's poor box office objectively.

As for the poor box office of the movie, a more reasonable explanation has actually been given on the market.

In addition to the quality of the film, the market potential is also key.

The domestic release under Chibi is January 15th, which is already the end of the Chinese New Year file, which belongs to a schedule in the off-season.

At this time, several blockbusters on Christmas and New Year's Day have consumed most of the market, because Chinese audiences still have high consumption when watching movies, and it is impossible for me to spend a lot of money to go to the theater every week to watch movies.

There have been blockbusters such as "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Ip Man", which have consumed a lot.

Later, there were various small films fighting, and the many films diverted a lot of box office.

So "Under the Red Cliff" is not at the box office well, and John Woo can't be blamed completely.

Such an explanation has been recognized by many people.

The film side of "Red Cliff" was a little helpless, and then had some opinions about Han Sanpin, after all, he gave the schedule.

But fortunately, the schedule of Lu Ping'an's movie is cooler. (End of chapter)
