521 New Movies
After the business blows each other, continue to chat.
This time, I came to the magic capital to meet with the relevant people here.
In addition to opening the Spring Festival stalls, there is also a major issue.
09 is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the related tribute film will also enter the production stage, and then be released in time for the National Day.
Shangying has prepared a lot of movies this year, "Lovely China", "Star Sea", the cartoon "Ma Lanhua" and so on, all of which are very good.
At the same time, they also actively communicated with China Film.
In this kind of thing, China Film is actively supportive, a gift.
So then we talked about Han Sanpin's super masterpiece "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" this year.
The film is very special, Han Sanpin said that the budget was 50 million, but Lu Ping'an knew that in the end, he didn't spend money at all.
The leaders of the Nanjing government, where the filming was taken, said on the spot that tens of millions of dollars could be allocated.
More than a dozen advertising sponsorships reached hundreds of millions.
The salary expenditure of participating stars is even more pitiful.
So this is not a normal movie, of course, since it is taken out to talk about, of course Xingchen also has a share, so he invested a little share, and Xingchen also has a share in the distribution business, and in the future, Xingchen will take over the publicity and distribution with China Film, and of course the special effects will have to shoulder the responsibility.
During this period, Han Sanpin also asked: "Ping An, do you want to come to play a cameo role?" ”
The film will hold a press conference in a few days, and the official opening will be in March.
The protagonists have been decided, led by Zhang Guoli and Tang Guoqiang, and the rest will be after today's chat, Han Sanpin will issue a summoning order.
At that time, stars from the mainland and Hong Kong will actively participate, and they may not all be on it.
In the end, there will be 172 stars in the show, and in the end, more than half of them will be cut due to the length of time.
Among them, some of Xingchen's actors, such as Baoqiang, Zhang Songwen and others, Han Sanpin has already said that they will arrange more or less, and said that they will try their best to keep it.
Now Han Sanpin asked Lu Ping'an if he wanted to make a cameo, no matter what the reason, of course Lu Ping'an agreed: "You decide the role, I just don't want it to be too difficult." ”
What is the reason, Han Sanpin naturally knows that Lu Ping'an has never acted in a serious way.
However, Han Sanpin was prepared: "Don't worry, you can just make a show." ”
After chatting about "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", the topic fell on Xingchen's movie.
Earlier, Lu Ping'an had already talked to Han Sanpin about "The Wind".
As the largest private company, Xingchen certainly has to come up with a tribute film for the 60th anniversary.
The original "The Wind" actually has this nature, and at the same time, Shangying participates, which is just right to take it out at this time.
After Han Sanpin found out, he immediately proposed to bring Shangying in, Lu Ping'an didn't refuse, it was still the same sentence, the gift film, the support and meaning obtained were different, so there was no need to worry too much about these.
Of course, in terms of investment share and actor composition, Lu Ping'an's opinion must be the mainstay.
Now Lu Ping'an's status has reached a certain level, and the films he directs can make Shangying invest, to put it mildly, this is all to give people face.
Shanghai Film is also full of ambitions for commercial films, but unfortunately the results in recent years have been average, and there are a basket of plans for the future, and Shanghai Film also said it directly, including "Su Qier" starring Zhao Wenzhuo and Jay, "Jin Yiwei" directed by Li Rengang, "Mulan" directed by Ma Chucheng, as well as the kung fu film "The Grandmaster" with Wong Kar-wai, and the sports blockbuster "Basketball Assault" with the United States Basketball Association.
Now with the "Wind" in collaboration with Xingchen.
At first glance, it seems that the upper shadow is about to rise soon
In this regard, Lu Ping'an wishes them good luck, the most important thing is the smooth cooperation, Han Sanpin is not in a hurry, his status and achievements are here, he doesn't care too much.
So the two movies were finalized, and all parties were happy, and then chatted for a while, and then attended the Spring Festival roadshow of the three films in the magic capital.
When I arrived at the theater, Jiang Wen was also there.
The last time I saw Jiang Wen was in the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when everyone had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.
At that time, Jiang Wen said that the script had basically been finalized, and the next time he found a safe way, it was the time to start the army.
Now it seems that Jiang Wen has traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the magic capital, and it is obvious that the time has come to raise troops.
The two looked at each other, didn't say much, and left it for the evening when it was over.
Then the roadshow begins.
Now the Spring Festival holiday has passed.
The social aspect enters the new year's working hours.
Overall, the Spring Festival stalls have entered a cooling stage, and the overall box office has begun to fall.
But this time the impact is huge, and there are more than 60 stars, so the popularity is naturally unabated.
However, after today's roadshow, the next action will not be more than 60 celebrities together.
Instead, it will slowly reduce the number of staff and start to wrap up, and everyone will also start to be busy with other things, such as harvesting and digesting the dividends brought by this wave of Spring Festival stalls alone.
The next roadshow was the same as the previous ones, and the scene was very lively.
After the end, Lu Ping'an and Jiang Wen chatted alone.
Jiang Wen took out the script and said solemnly: "The final version." ”
Lu Ping'an opened the script.
Well, as expected, even if it is the final version, there is still a certain difference between it and the finished film.
Of course, the structure is the same, the difference is just a few lines.
However, Lu Ping'an is not worried, Jiang Wen will not shoot 100% according to the script, so it is estimated that it will be the same as the original version in the end.
Even if it's different, it's fine, if you say you want to vote, then there's no other nonsense.
So Lu Ping'an closed the script and asked directly: "When will it be turned on?" ”
"I'll wait until I get those three people done."
"I'll greet you."
"No, I have a plan, a good film, you have to have a sense of ceremony."
"You don't want to write a letter, do you?"
"You still know me."
"Okay, you can do it, and I'll be responsible for the money."
"150 million." Jiang Wen didn't talk nonsense.
Lu Ping'an didn't talk nonsense: "If you say 200 million, you won't discount it." ”
"That's a lot."
"Refund more and make up less."
"Exquisite!"
"Long-winded."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After chatting about the matter, Jiang Wen directly caught the night flight back to Beijing.
Lu Ping'an continued to devote himself to the roadshow.
On the fourteenth day of the first month.
The three films were released for two weeks.
Box office data is also out
The box office of "Wonderful Night 2" came to 778 million.
"Crazy Racing" 387 million
"People in Embarrassment" 420 million
The overall box office has declined significantly because of work.
"Wonderful Night 2" was 580 million in the first week, and it was less than 200 million in the second week, and the decline was very obvious.
In fact, for Lu Ping'an, the water of this data is still very large.
Because the box office of the first week is counted as the box office before the discount.
In fact, the real box office has to be discounted by 5%.
The box office after the Spring Festival is the normal box office.
So in total, "Wonderful Night 2" has to subtract nearly 300 million.
But it doesn't matter, the next movie is estimated to be able to get another two or three hundred million box office, plus the other two films have already made a lot of money.
So there will be no loss at all, it will still be a big profit.
And the social side will not care about the inside story of Xingchen's gamble.
Because the data is now explosive enough. (End of chapter)
