On the 18th, the fantasy adventure production "Dragon Quest" directed by the great director Wu Erfan and starring Chen Kun, Huang Bo, Shu Qi and others was officially released.

This movie has the IP popularity brought by [Ghost Blowing the Lamp], the fame of big directors and first-line stars, and it achieved a super high box office result of 160 million on the first day of release on Friday.

In the following weekend, it got a box office of 226 million and 203 million respectively, and the box office in the first week was 689 million, becoming the first hit movie in this year's Chinese New Year.

What's even more difficult is that [Looking for the Dragon] is a movie adapted from [Ghost Blowing the Lamp], and the audience thinks that it has a very high degree of restoration of the original work, especially in terms of casting, Chen Kun, Huang Bo, and Shu Qi look like the Hu Bayi trio in the book, which is completely different from the movie "Nine-Story Demon Tower" that sells dog meat in sheepskin.

The good reputation has given [Dragon Hunting] a deeper box office potential, and the follow-up results are favored by everyone.

And the comedy movie [Never Expected], which was released on the same day, did not have such good luck.

The box office on the first day was only 49.95 million, and the weekend only got 58.41 million and 47.72 million results.

The word-of-mouth is a mess.

The producer [Wanhe Tianyi] saw that Dapeng made a big profit with the super popularity of [Dick Silk Man] and made a lot of money.

So there is also a kind of learning, their company happens to have a series of short dramas that are popular through the Internet [I never expected], which made the Internet celebrity director named Beast Yi Xiaoxing shoot a big movie of the same name, thinking that with the same fan base, he still makes a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, the publicity and distribution were not effective, and the quality of the movie was too poor, which led to [Never Expected] being a failure at the box office.

Three days after its release in the first week, the movie was drowned out by netizens' complaints, and the box office dropped directly to more than 10 million in the second week, completely hitting the streets.

Gu Wei, who had just finished a [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] movie press conference, looked at his mobile phone in the car.

Yang Mi, who was sitting next to him, poked his head over.

"What are you looking at?"

Gu Wei smiled.

"After taking a look at the box office results of [Dragon Quest] in the past few days, this movie has been very popular recently, Senior Brother Lu, are you under pressure?"

Lu Yang on the opposite side was inexplicable.

"What does it have to do with me if it's popular again, our movie won't be released until the end of the month, and there are still three weeks to go, and the box office of [Dragon Quest] will not be a concern for a long time by then."

"Senior brother, this is that you have no ambition, and I didn't say that you should PK with [Dragon Hunting] head-on, I mean the throne of this year's Lunar New Year champion, can we compare to [Dragon Hunting]?"

Lu Yang touched his chin.

"It's hard!

Although our movie has a high popularity, martial arts movies are in decline after all.

The first part of [Embroidered Spring Knife] only had a box office of more than 200 million, how much has the box office of [Dragon Hunting] accumulated today? ”

Gu Wei glanced down at his phone.

"730 million."

"That's right, now that the second week has just begun, according to this trend, there is no difficulty in breaking 1 billion [Dragon Hunting].

If it's good, it's not impossible to exceed 1.5 billion.

I will be content if the box office of our [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] can exceed 500 million, and if it can reach 1 billion, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams! ”

Lu Yang is very truthful.

"Sister Mi, how much box office do you think our movie can have?"

Gu Wei turned his head and asked Yang Mi again.

"How do I know, no matter how much box office it is, it's a new record for me anyway.

As the director said, 500 million is already very good. ”

The film "I Am a Witness" she painted at the end of last month was only in the early 200 million, and many people inside and outside the circle still think that it was Luhan drainage that could get so much box office.

Yang Mi has never had confidence in his box office appeal.

"Are you two directors and heroines so confident in their works, anyway, I am very optimistic about the box office of [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] breaking 1 billion."

Gu Wei said confidently.

"Where did you get so much faith?"

Yang Mi asked.

Lu Yang also looked at Gu Wei, listening to what he had to say, did he see that there was a big selling point in the movie that he didn't know as a director.

"Because of me starring, the movie I starred in has to break one billion, after all, [Monster Hunt] is more than two billion!"

Gu Wei said as a matter of course.

"Cut~ stinky fart!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes, expressing disdain for Gu Wei's self-confident and conceited speech.

Lu Yang also smiled:

"I thought you had any high opinions, Gu Wei, your popularity is really unmatched in domestic entertainment now, but our theme is not good, even if your fans support it, I estimate that 7 or 800 million will reach the top.

And the [Monster Hunt] you filmed before is a big production with a fantasy theme, and the cost alone is more than 300 million.

We are less than 100 million, how can we compare with others. ”

"The director is called a reasonable and well-founded prediction of the box office, which is like you slapping the brain, because what I shoot must break one billion, it is completely a cannon."

Yang Mi also echoed on the side.

Gu Wei turned his head to look at her.

"Sister Mi, do you want to bet with me?"

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet on whether our [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] box office can break one billion!"

Yang Mi thought for a moment.

"Okay, what do you say?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, if you break a billion, you will promise me a condition."

Gu Wei said.

"What if you can't break a billion?"

"Sister Mi, make a request~"

Yang Mi's beautiful eyes like a little fox turned left and right.

"If the box office of [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] does not break one billion, you will pay me another movie for the heroine!"

She thinks very well, if she loses, she is also the heroine of the billion-dollar box office, and if she wins, she will have one more movie resource, and she won't lose anything.

"No problem!"

Gu Wei readily agreed.

According to the plan of the promoter, the crew of [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] will conduct roadshows in major cities across the country before the release of the movie, and meet as many fans as possible to increase the exposure of the movie.

Roadshows have now become an important means of film promotion, and this year's popular "Pancake Man", director Dapeng took the crew to 31 cities and 188 theaters across the country within a month, and finally won 1.163 billion yuan at the box office with the continuous popularity brought by the roadshow, becoming the most classic case of the film roadshow.

While Gu Wei and them are promoting, there are two other movies that have also reached the hottest stage, that is, "Lao Paoer" and "Villain Angel", which will be released this Thursday.

On December 20, [Lao Paoer] held a premiere at the Water Cube in Beijing, inviting 4,000 people to watch the movie together, and the tickets were sold out.

That night, a grandstand ticket had been fried to 600 yuan by scalpers, and the venue ticket had exceeded 1,000 yuan, which was enough to see the enthusiasm of fans.

This premiere relied on the background of [Huayi Brothers] and Feng Xiaogang's face to invite nearly half of the stars in the entertainment industry to participate, and the scene can be described as starry-eyed.

When he appeared on the stage, Li Jiaheng stood next to Feng Xiaogang, and he could be said to be complacent at this time.

At the beginning of this month, the [Journey to the West] starring him has just been completed, and this [Lao Pao'er] in which he plays a supporting role will be released soon, if you don't consider Gu Wei, who has been pressing him, everything seems to be going so smoothly!

Glancing at the other young actor standing on Feng Xiaogang's side, Li Jiaheng's brows furrowed slightly.

After stepping down.

"What is the origin of that Li Yifeng, I feel that his recent momentum is very strong?"

Li Jiaheng asked the agent in a low voice.

Huang Bin glanced up.

"He is the first brother of [Huanrui Film and Television], and he is the object of their support, and he starred in the popular online drama [Tomb Robbery Notes] this year.

Don't worry, he doesn't have many movie resources, and now his popularity is far worse than you in all aspects. ”

"How can I worry about him, except for Gu Wei in internal entertainment now, there is no young star in my eyes."

Li Jiaheng's tone was very arrogant, but it matched his somewhat hanging dress.

"Your former teammate Lu Han can't be underestimated, his movie last month did well at the box office and had a good reputation.

has proven its ability to monoclonal antibodies at the box office.

The two of you still have some competition in terms of film and television resources and endorsements. ”

The agent Huang Bin knocked him up.

"Lu Han and Huang Zitao are simply inexplicable, they got mixed up with Gu Wei, and they forgot how to make people apologize on the Internet before?"

Li Jiaheng said hatefully.

"It is said that your stupid hat teammate messed up the fashion show and was going to be banned by the brand, Gu Wei used his connections to help him solve the problem."

"Hehe, that guy Huang Zitao has always been like this, I'm not surprised how to make a fool of myself."

The premiere of "Lao Paoer" was very successful, and the film was well received by the audience after the screening.

The celebrity guests present also praised Feng Xiaogang's acting skills.

At the same time, Deng Chao and his wife Sun Li held a movie press conference in Shanghai with all the main creators of [Villain Angel].

Unlike [Lao Paoer], the movie press conference of [Villain Angel] is relatively simple, with no other stars participating, and all the cast and crew of the movie.

However, due to the popularity of Deng Chao in the past two years, the popularity of [Running Man] has exploded his national popularity, and the last self-directed and self-starred [Breakup Master] has won him many fans.

So although the scale of the press conference is not large, the attention attracted by [Villain Angel] is no worse than that of [Lao Paoer].

And this is also the first collaborative movie between Deng Chao and Sun Li, a husband and wife, which makes the audience look forward to it.

On Thursday, the two movies "Lao Paoer" and "Villain Angel" were released at the same time.

If you just look at the film schedule and box office, [Villain Angel] beats [Lao Paoer].

Deng Chao's comedy film got 42% of the country's film schedule on the first day, while [Lao Paoer] on the same day only 20%.

The cinema chain is the most realistic, in their opinion, although Feng Xiaogang is a big director, he is just an actor in [Lao Paoer], and this is still a feature film, and it is unknown whether he can win the audience's love.

Deng Chao's side is different, [Villain Angel] continues his previous comedy style, and this time there is a "mother" Sun Li joining, and the cooperation between husband and wife is full of gimmicks.

It's no surprise that the film schedule is so high.

The box office results on the first day were similar to what the theater chain thought.

[Villain Angel] took 150 million at the box office, and [Lao Pao'er] was only one-third of it, a little more than 50 million.

In the next week, the schedule of the two movies did not change much, and in the first four days, [Villain Angel] took a total of 500 million at the box office, while [Lao Paoer] only had 240 million.

It seems that Deng Chao won, but in fact, after a week of screenings, the reputation of [Villain Angel] completely collapsed.

can only say how hard the propaganda is, how miserable it is to be scolded by the audience at this time.

Countless netizens who have watched the movie have given bad reviews, and all the negative comments on the Internet are about [Villain Angel].

[My comment on this movie is: Villain, God!] Make it poisonous! 】

[This film is rotten out of the new lower limit of domestic films in 2015! ] 】

[Deng Chao, isn't it good for you to act in a movie like the scorching sun, why do you have to act in this kind of movie that is so embarrassing that people are so embarrassed that they want to die is not funny at all? ] Do you want to drag the mother into the water?? 】

[It's very vulgar, and it feels like it's very popular with passers-by, obviously you can be an acting school, but you have to fool around, I don't know what you're filming! ] 】

【. 】

Compared with [Villain Angel], the reputation of [Lao Paoer] is much better, although some bad reviews are unavoidable, but generally speaking, there are still more people who like it.

On Monday of the second week, [Villain Angel] fell directly from a single-day box office of more than 100 million to more than 30 million, and has been in a slump since then.

Because of the good reputation, the box office rose in the second week, and the single-day box office performance was stable at more than 50 million.
