Chapter 348: Regret in 2005
After New Year's Day in 2006, "King Kong" continued to harvest the box office, while "Extreme Escape" slowed down significantly, but the daily box office ranking was still second in the mainland, second only to "King Kong".
Under such circumstances, by January 8, the mainland box office of "Extreme Escape" has reached 143 million, and when the film is closed, there will definitely be 150 million, but basically this is the end, it is unlikely to exceed 160 million.
In other words, among the domestic films released in 2005, the only ones with a box office of more than 100 million yuan in the mainland were "Punch, Dad", "Wuji" and "Extreme Escape".
This data is the same as in 2004, and in 2004, only three movies, "Kung Fu", "No Thieves in the World", and "Ambush on All Sides", exceeded 100 million.
On the evening of January 8, Xinhua News Agency's official website published a special report commenting on the mainland film market in the past year.
First of all, he affirmed that "Myth", "Seven Swords" are all excellent movies, and they almost broke 100 million, and then praised "Punch, Dad", "Wuji" and "Extreme Escape", and felt that these three movies gave the mainland market great excitement.
Finally, it is a bit regrettable that 2002's "Hero" has a box office of more than 200 million in the mainland.
In the next 03 years, 04 years, 05 years - three full years, there are more theaters, more cinemas and cinemas, but no movie breaks 200 million.
The author of this report feels that this is the only regret of the mainland film market in 2005.
At the same time, he expressed his expectations for 2006, hoping that "Huo Yuanjia", "The City Full of Golden Armor", and "Night Banquet" can hit the box office of 200 million.
"Huo Yuanjia" has Li Lianjie, the director of "The City is Full of Golden Armor" is Lao Mouzi, Fa Ge and Jie Lun, and the director of "Night Banquet" is Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Ge You.
For such expectations, the vast majority of people still very much agree.
At the same time, I also recognize the regret of the film market in 2005 in the report.
In 2005, more private theaters entered the film market, and there were more cinemas in cinemas, but they did not increase the box office of a single film, and there was not a single work of 200 million.
……
Li Shengyao didn't get up until 10 o'clock in the morning, and the box office of "Extreme Escape" has been growing recently, and Chen Hao has been working harder, and she even once said that she wanted to give birth to Li Shengyao.
Last night, the two of them had another big fight.
He then got up to wash, and when he came to the hall, he smelled the smell of chicken soup.
"When I woke up, I bought a chicken, more than three catties, and made soup all of it."
Chen Hao was busy in the kitchen, noticed Li Shengyao, and immediately walked out with a pot of chicken soup.
There are lotus seeds and red dates.
The yellow chicken fat has already been scooped out.
"Knowing that you don't like to drink soup that is too oily, I would have already served the chicken fat."
Li Shengyao nodded, reached out and grabbed Chen Hao, holding him in his arms.
"Reward you."
"Cut."
Chen Hao was disdainful, but he took the initiative to hug Li Shengyao and closed his eyes.
By the time Li Shengyao drank the chicken soup, the chicken soup had already been cold, and Chen Hao gave her a new pot of soup.
Then she tidied up her clothes and went about her work, chopping vegetables and humming songs.
"When I went out to buy groceries, I bought a newspaper, would you like to read it?"
"Any news in particular?"
"Yes, there is Xinhua Press's evaluation of the mainland film market last year."
Li Shengyao nodded, then turned to the report, and read it quickly.
"Dodo!"
Chen Hao has a lot of strength in cutting vegetables, she held the kitchen knife and said: "They said "The City is Full of Golden Armor", "Night Banquet", "Huo Yuanjia", and they didn't mention Ling's new movie."
Li Shengyao's new movie has not yet been confirmed, how can people mention it.
He smiled, "Don't worry, they'll mention it later." ”
As soon as the words fell, his mobile phone rang, but it was the assistant who called.
"Boss, today on major forums, many posts are discussing last year's film market, and everyone regrets that there are no more than 200 million movies."
"I've seen several poll posts, and the vast majority of people think that next year's "Full of Golden Armor" will have a box office of more than 200 million."
"Do I want the studio's trolls to support you?"
Facts have proved that the vast majority of current netizens recognize Lao Mouzi, and they believe that "The City is Full of Golden Armor" can exceed 200 million.
But what does this matter have to do with Li Shengyao?
His films haven't been confirmed yet.
Even if you let the navy blow it, it's not easy to blow.
"Wait until I'm sure of the new movie."
……
Yanjing Huayi Brothers Headquarters, General Manager's Office, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun brothers sat on one side, and Feng Xiaogang sat on the other side.
Wang Zhonglei poured tea for the other two people, and then said slowly: "I hope that the higher the box office of mainland movies, the better, and the people think the same way, we must do it well and strive to break 200 million."
The ultimate goal of the Wang brothers is to make Huayi go public and make money.
They attach great importance to the reaction of the common people, as well as the attitude of the above.
Feng Xiaogang sat there, leaning over, his eyes were still bloodshot, and his whole person was sorrowful, looking like he had been playing all night in a row.
At this time, he knew how tired he was from making blockbuster films, no wonder Lao Mouzi usually talked little, he was too tired to talk at all.
For Wang Zhonglei's words, the little steel cannon must be the first to pat on the back.
At this time, he did not have the mood and energy.
"Xiaogang, your body is not good, you have to exercise more."
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he waved his hand, but still didn't answer.
Wang Zhongjun continued: "I think this year, that is, "Night Banquet" and "The City Full of Golden Armor" can exceed 200 million, "Huo Yuanjia" is not good, Huo Yuanjia's final result is not good, he is still dead."
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why didn't anyone say about Li Shengyao's new movie?"
"I haven't approved the project yet, who knows what kind of movie it is, but if it's still a movie with an investment of 40 or 50 million yuan like "Punch, Dad" and "Extreme Escape", I don't think it will be more than 200 million."
When "Extreme Escape" was not yet released, there were many posts on the Internet about Hei Li Shengyao and "Extreme Escape".
said that "Extreme Escape" is unlikely to succeed, and that Lee Shengyao's movie has a box office of more than 100 million at most, and it is impossible to break 200 million.
The main reason is that the scene is not big enough and the ceiling is not high.
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he thought of Li Shengyao's investment in his previous two films, and was inexplicably relieved.
Li Shengyao is now the owner of the theater chain and the owner of the video website, and his status is higher than him.
And there are two movies with more than 100 million yuan.
However, this time, the goal of "Night Banquet" is to hit the mainland box office of 200 million, and then target the overseas market, striving to make money like "Hero".
He believes that he will be able to overpower Lee Shengyao this time, and he will take the lead in becoming the director of a single film with a box office of 200 million in the mainland than Lee Shengyao.
