Chapter 464: Zhang Weiping has no confidence either
There are very few domestic films this summer, even during the Protection Month, there are only a dozen or so films.
And by the end of November, domestic movies had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and suddenly they all came out together.
The movies released at this point in time include "Mars is Okay", "Visitors from the Sui Dynasty", "Unspoken Rules of Love", "Panda Hero", "Mulan" and a number of other movies.
Except for Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun's "Mulan", which has a little splash, other movies are cannon fodder, and under the bombardment of "2012", it is difficult to have a box office of 10 million.
In December, the Chinese New Year file is coming, and "2012" is gradually coming to an end, and more domestic movies will be released.
"Thorn Tomb", "Fengyun 2", "October Siege", "The Legend of the Three-Gun Shooting", "Poker King", and "Midnight Taxi" were released one after another.
This time, no films were released at the end of the month, mostly in early December, or mid-December.
Although "Avatar" has not yet been released, the reputation of this blockbuster has been faintly revealed, and no movie wants to be tough with "Avatar".
After "Border Killer" was completed, Li Shengyao quickly returned to Yanjing with the film crew, and then prepared to edit.
With so many movies being released, naturally there were many invitations to him to come over for the premiere.
He chose "Thorn Tomb" and "The Legend of the Three Shots", "The Thorn Tomb" is because of Jay Chou, and "The Legend of the Three Shots" is because of Lao Mouzi.
Since Jay Lun filmed "The City is Full of Golden Armor", the resources have fallen again.
Even if it wasn't Lao Mouzi's blockbuster before, it was an interesting movie like "Initial D".
turned out to be bad in the back, so he went to mess with Zhu Yanping.
"Thorn Tomb" is undoubtedly a big bad movie, when Li Shengyao watched it in the past, although the vast majority of the premiere theater were Jay Lun fans, but when the movie ended, the vast majority of fans did not applaud, and the big guys were stunned by this bad movie.
When Jielun came to the stage, the fans reflected and hurriedly applauded.
Jielun and Lin Zhiling were very embarrassed.
Lin Zhiling was in the limelight in the two "Red Cliffs", and the publicity even overpowered Zhao Yanzi.
But the movie after that was very bad, and she exposed her original strength.
That is, there is no acting skills, and there is no appeal.
She can only make a living in the movies that she invests in, or the movies directed by the director of the studious.
At the celebration banquet of the premiere later, Lin Zhiling also wanted to find Li Shengyao to get close, but he refused.
A day later, Li Shengyao took Chen Hao to attend the premiere of "The Legend of Three Guns".
Lao Mouzi's appeal is naturally much greater than that of Jie Lun, not to mention this movie and Zhao Benshan.
When Li Shengyao arrived, he found that the three rows in front of the theater were all stars, directors, and producers in the entertainment industry, and it could be said that there were many stars.
Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping had already prepared a position for Li Shengyao, just right in the middle of the first row.
When Lao Mouzi and their gang of main creators fell behind, Li Shengyao sat next to Zhang Weiping, and Zhang Weiping was Lao Mouzi on the other side.
Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi are both in Chinese tunics with trousers and leather shoes today.
Lao Mouzi looked a little apprehensive, and his eyes were a little erratic.
And Zhang Weiping looked left and right, he kept watching other people's movie reactions, until the theater began to have bursts of laughter, and he only restrained slightly.
"Director Li, the mainland film market is changing too fast now, I'm really worried that we won't be able to adapt."
Zhang Weiping whispered.
His face was furious, and he didn't look like he was acting.
Lao Zhang is such an arrogant person, naturally because the mainland film market is indeed changing too fast.
September's "The Great Cause of the Nation" was more than 410 million, and then November's "2012" is now almost 450 million.
This kind of achievement is something that I would never have dreamed of a few years ago.
Lao Mouzi's "The City Full of Golden Armor" has a box office of only 290 million in the mainland, and both Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping are under pressure.
Li Shengyao is also under pressure, he filmed "Border Killer", although this movie has a high rating, but whether it can achieve a high box office, he is unsure.
"The living standards of the people in our country are high, there will be more and more theaters, and there will be more and more box offices, and it will change faster in the future, so you still have to be prepared in advance."
Zhang Weiping was stunned when she heard this, "Director Li, do you mean that the box office will continue to grow in the future?" ”
"That's for sure," Li Shengyao noticed that Lao Mouzi was also listening, so he continued: "If we chase the box office, we are just afraid that we will never be able to catch up, just calm down and make a good movie." ”
"What a pity, such a good market, at this time we should strive for a high box office."
Zhang Weiping did not agree with Li Shengyao's words, and immediately answered.
"I'm not saying that you can't think about high box office, but you can't be controlled by this thing, and you have to have a stable mentality."
Zhang Weiping wanted to refute, but Lao Mouzi took the lead and said: "Director Li is right, we can't say that this movie will cost 400 million, and the next movie will cost 500 million, this is not a slogan, just shout and shout it can be done." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Weiping's face froze, nodded and did not continue.
Li Shengyao saw it in his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart.
Lao Mouzi and Zhang Weiping will fall out in a few years, and I don't know when the conflict between the two began.
Li Shengyao personally thinks it should start with "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".
At this time, the film market is growing, and with Zhang Weiping's temperament, he must want to continue to make commercial films.
As a result, Lao Mouzi wanted to get back to his blood because of the bad reputation of "The Legend of the Three-Gun Shooting", so he made a literary film.
In the theater, movies continue to be screened, and in such a closed environment, human perception is easily amplified.
At this time, the audience who watches "The Legend of the Three-Gun Shooting" will be affected by various factors, and many people will laugh along with it.
Lao Mouzi heard the laughter of the audience, and his face was slightly better.
Zhang Weiping's face had a look of pride.
"Look, making comedy movies is an outlet now, and ordinary people just like to watch comedy."
Li Shengyao sat next to him and heard it clearly, but he didn't say much.
After a long time, in the laughter of the audience, the movie ended, and a group of main creators excitedly appeared on the stage to express their thoughts.
Li Shengyao took Chen Hao's hand and watched quietly.
Chen Hao just laughed for a while, she found Li Shengyao's state, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?" Don't you like to watch it? ”
Li Shengyao shook his head, "I don't like it or not, it's just a very ordinary movie." ”
Chen Hao glanced back to make sure that their voices would not be heard by the people behind him, so he lowered his voice and said, "Don't say that, what about the premiere." ”
She then asked, "How many box office do you think it will be?" ”
Li Shengyao guessed that the box office has always been very accurate, Chen Hao is a little curious, Li Shengyao will think that Lao Mouzi's comeback can have a lot of box office.
"No more than 200 million."
When Chen Hao heard this, his eyes widened.
Lao Mouzi has already had 200 million movies, and a few years ago, Lao Mouzi was the annual box office champion of the mainland movie.
Now that the film market has grown four or five times, why is there less box office if it still cooperates with Zhao Jiaban?
"Wait, I don't have to lie to you."
Not long after, Li Shengyao and Chen Hao participated in the celebration banquet organized by the Zhao family class, and he did not say anything discouraged this time, but said good things.
Lao Mouzi, Zhang Weiping, and Zhao Benshan are all very happy, and they are all looking forward to this movie to create more brilliance.
But such films have clearly been eliminated by young people.
Zhao Jiaban-based movies have too much sketch atmosphere, and young people are now reluctant to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so it is even more impossible for them to spend money to watch Zhao's family-based comedy.
So the word-of-mouth was okay after the movie premiere, but when "The Legend of the Three-Gun Shooting" was released on a large scale, the word-of-mouth took a sharp turn, and this movie, which Zhang Weiping had high hopes for, became garbage in many people's mouths.
Many viewers said that even if Lao Mouzi didn't make a blockbuster, he didn't need to make such a dirty two-person movie.
Some people also say that Lao Mouzi has fallen behind this era, and he has not made movies for two years, and has been abandoned by a new generation of audiences.
This is a situation that many people did not expect.
Only Chen Hao often looked at Li Shengyao with adoring eyes, "You really guessed right, "The Legend of Three Shots" is really not good." ”
"Yes, it's not that Xiao Gangcang's comedy can make money, Lao Mouzi's comedy can also make money, it still depends on the quality of the movie."
Chen Hao's eyes were full of admiration, and he repeatedly praised Director Li for his good vision.
She was actually worried about whether the situation in "Border Killer" would be the same as "The Legend of Three Shots", but she didn't say it.
has been with Li Shengyao for so long, and she knows that Li Shengyao is not a person who likes to say frustrating words.
Even if he is worried in his heart, Director Li will not say it, but put it in his heart.
