Maybe.

The movie "Sweeping Drugs" is not a classic.

But after Zhou Yutang's revision and improvement, it can at least be regarded as a qualified commercial police film.

When it was first released, the Douban score was a little high, reaching 8.2 points.

When the number of scorers comes up, the final score will drop, but it will not be lower than 7.5 points.

A movie with such a score is definitely a smooth story plot and the quality is above the level line.

Especially when the song "Vowing to Enter the Sword Mountain" in the movie sounded, the brothers were enthusiastic and the love dilemma aroused the emotional resonance of a large part of the audience.

"It's a bit of a surprise, it turns out that Huang Xiaoming's acting skills are also good."

"Ah Wei is so miserable, teary-eyed."

"Da Meiyuan's wife is dressed up, I really love it."

"A little curious, is that Thai ladyboy real?"

is such a commercial film with enough topicality, and the discussion on the Internet is also very high.

On the other side, "Guan Yunchang", after its release, the word-of-mouth directly had a tendency to rot.

In this movie, the core story revolves around Guan Erye's five levels and six generals.

Therefore.

The story conflict in the early stage of the film is mainly focused on Cao Cao and Guan Yunchang.

"What are you shooting?"

"Second Master Guan of the righteous Bo Yuntian, what's going on with your sister-in-law playing ambiguously?"

"Guan Yun's long hand makes the Qinglong Yanyue Knife rampant all over the world, and it is powerful. Donnie Yen's knife was trampled on, and it was really outrageous to step on a horse. ”

"Guan Yunchang is only good friends with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang in Cao Cao's camp, and the rest don't look down on them at all, and the others don't have a good face for Guan Yu, Donnie Yen and Cao Cao's generals call them brothers?"

Although the two great directors of Xiangjiang who co-directed this film before, Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Zhaohui, have given the audience a vaccination.

claims that this is a movie that will make big changes to the Three Kingdoms, but judging from the audience reviews on the Internet, it is obvious that they don't buy it.

The audience has a deep understanding of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Cao is a traitor.

Guan Yu is the martial saint of righteousness and thin clouds.

If you have to work hard and let Guan Yu play ambiguously with his sister-in-law, then you have to be ready to be sprayed.

It can only be said that the director of Hong Kong cannot resonate with the culture of mainland audiences.

Zhou Yutang also understood what Jiang Wen meant by calling him after the premiere.

In the wheat field under the sunset, Cao Cao directly confessed to Guan Yu: "I like you, dare to love, dare to hate, dare to act!" ”

Really good at playing.

Jiang Wen and Donnie Yen were so deliberately betrayed by the director.

"Guan Yunchang" was released for 7 days in the first week, with a box office of about 68 million, such a result, it is not surprising that the investor will lose so much that he vomits blood.

The box office of "Anti-Drugs", which was released one after another, came to 168 million in the first week, and the gap between the two further widened.

As the person in charge of Yinghuang's business in the mainland, Huo Wenxi called Daoxi as soon as possible: "Ah Tang, there should be no accident on May Day." ”

"Hehe, Sister MANI, are you still on the roadshow?"

Zhou Yutang smiled: "It's hard work." ”

The publicity roadshow plan on the mainland side was also done by Zhou Yutang.

First of all, after collectively doing enough propaganda work in the main box offices in the capital and the magic capital, Huo Wenxi took Liu Qingyun, Zhang Jiahui and others as a group.

Another group, Huang Xiaoming, Gao Yuanyuan, Wen Yongshan and others, divided into two roads and spread out the national ticket warehouse.

"Yes, I came to Huacheng today and went to Shencheng immediately, although I was a little tired, but it was still quite fulfilling."

Huo Wenxi is also a woman who works from the bottom and can endure hardships and do things, otherwise she would not be relied on by Yang Shoucheng as a confidant.

When she felt fulfilled, she also felt a little excited that "the two of us are so strong".

"Guan Yunchang" has a good reputation at the box office, and "Sweeping Drugs" has no opponent in the May Day schedule.

For this project, Yang Shoucheng handed over Huo Wenxi to connect with Zhou Yutang, and she also served as a producer, which was also a performance made with heart.

"You're going to America in two days."

"Sister Mani, you are so well-informed."

"That movie will be released soon, I wish you a box office hit over there."

Huo Wenxi has a very high emotional intelligence and is also very good at talking: "Eh, by the way, Yu Tang, how is the script of "Slaying the Wolf 2" done?" ”

"I've changed it a few times, I'll talk about it when I get back from there."

"OK, wait for your good news."

After a few simple greetings, Huo Wenxi continued to devote himself to the roadshow, and Zhou Yutang also smiled helplessly, but he still admired this sister.

This is a career-oriented strong woman with quite an ambition.

And with Boss Yang behind him, his prestige is enough to suppress those Xiangjiang actors.

As soon as the box office came out in the first week, the reactions of the main creative teams on both sides also formed a stark contrast.

The box office of the movie continues to soar, and the main creative team of "Sweeping Drugs" is full of enthusiasm and has a national roadshow.

And "Guan Yunchang" is probably because the box office is not strong, and it is basically impossible to recover the cost, and the main creator of "Guan Yunchang" began to shake the pot.

Some crew insiders anonymously released the news that before obtaining the script, Donnie Yen had never seen the Three Kingdoms at all, and he didn't even know who Guan Yunchang was, but the investor spent enough money, so Donnie Yen agreed.

You shake the pot.

The Cosmic Pill also has something to say.

When interviewed by Yang Yan, this goods directly said: ""Guan Yunchang" is my most failed movie, but it doesn't mean that I was wrong, mainly because the director and screenwriter changed history a little messily, and Jiang Wen's aura is too strong."

Jiang Wen is too familiar with the Three Kingdoms.

On the set, just the lines on his back can calm everyone, and the pressure on the Universe Dan has doubled, his original image and temperament are inconsistent with Guan Yu, the nine-foot Angzang Great Han Martial Saint, and he can't control Guan Yu's expression and state, every time he encounters a rival scene with Jiang Wen, he has to NG more than a dozen times in a row, and he can't catch his scene at all

It is impossible to carry the pot.

This pot is on the back, which will affect the value of the play in the future.

Zhou Yutang glanced at movies such as "Rio Adventure" and "Three Days of Danger" in the same period, and they were all not afraid.

The battle for May 1st seems to have been decided.

This year's awards ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.

No surprises.

Zhou Yutang failed to win the actor.

Huo Wenxi's forced king Xie Tingfeng also won the actor nomination with "The Informant", but also lost to Ren Dahua in "The Thief of Time".

The biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards is undoubtedly this "Thief of Time".

not only won the Crystal Bear Best Film Award in the New Generation Unit of the Berlin Film Festival, but also won the Best Film at the Academy Awards, and the Best Screenplay at the Academy Awards was won by Luo Qirui, and also won a Best New Actor Li Zhiting.

The best actress is Liu Jialing of "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", and Xu Ke also won the best director for this movie.

As for "Rain of Swords", there were also seven nominations, but in the end only one for best action design.

Zhou Yutang didn't care much about this result, and sent a congratulatory text message to Ren Dahua, who had always had a good personal relationship.

Then.

He got on a plane to the other side of the ocean.

"Sissi, Yu Tang went over there, right?"

Today, Shu Zhan came to play at home, and Aunt Liu prepared some fresh fruits to send over, and asked by the way.

"Mom, how do you know?"

"He didn't even go to the Academy Awards."

Aunt Liu said casually: "Isn't there a movie in the United States that is about to be released?" ”

You can't say that you are paying attention to Zhou Yutang's itinerary in private, right?

That's embarrassing.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Shu Zhan took the fruit, thanked him sweetly, and said with a smile: "Auntie, I didn't expect you to pay attention to it, Zhou Yutang seems to have only gone last night." ”

"I didn't pay attention to it, I just casually looked at the news, is there any news at the box office over there?"

"It's not clear, no message."

"Oh, when is he going to come home?"

"I've heard that it looks like I'm going to be there for a while, and there's another work schedule."

Liu Yifei ate strawberries and laughed.

"Is there any film project?"

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, and her heart moved slightly.

The previous Celestial Empire actors wanted to break into Hollywood.

The first way.

took the path of Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, had a certain international reputation, and then entered Hollywood.

It's a tough road.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, although Liu Yifei has been receiving acting training, in terms of acting skills, it is not enough to win awards and gain popularity in the world.

The second way is to spend a lot of money to hire someone to do a co-production.

But with the experience of "The King of Kung Fu", as long as he is not a fool, no one should ask Liu Yifei to star in such a big production.

At last.

It is the road that Zhou Yutang walked out.

I have a good cooperative relationship with the established production companies in Hollywood.

Directly come out with your own book.,And then form your own game.。

controlled a certain right to speak.

And then with the help of the distribution and channels over there.

Liu Yifei told Shu Zhan something funny, and the laughter of the two girls was as beautiful as a silver bell.

"If, Zhou Yutang can become famous this time."

The corners of Aunt Liu's mouth were also slightly upturned.

The heart is pounding, too.

She is also sincerely looking forward to Zhou Yutang's success.

…………………………

The last day of April.

The day of killing has come.

The viral marketing of the Internet has paid off.

The audience who was born in this free land also felt stimulated by such an amazing creativity that defied the constraints of the law.

Sitting in the conference room of the headquarters of the new line company.

Zou Zhongyan, who was beside him, seemed to be infected by the nervousness of the ghosts in the conference room, and was a little restless.

But when she saw the young boss next to her, still calm and relaxed, holding her mobile phone and sending messages in a relaxed manner, and a slight arc seemed to appear at the corner of her mouth, she took a reassuring pill, but she was a lot calmer.

Father was right.

There is calm in every big event.

This young boss was born to do big things.

After a while, Old Bob led Natalie through the door, and the whispering in the conference room suddenly stopped.

"Guys."

Bob's old man's face was full of red, and even the wrinkles and folds seemed to be stretched, and he grinned: "The box office results are out." ”

"How much?"

Zhou Yutang put away his mobile phone and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Let me see."

Bob held the thin data report in his hand and laughed loudly: ""The Clearance Plan, the single library score is as high as 15,345 US dollars!" In the three days of the weekend, there were $42.37 million at the box office, ranking fifth on the opening list of the "sci-fi horror" theme, and in front of us were "I Am a Legend", "2012", "Me and the Robot", and "Terminator 4"! ”

The first few in the "Purge Plan" are all large-scale productions with good budgets.

None have been able to achieve an ROI like Project Human Eradication.

The room was already agitated, and a bearded white executive from Warner's film department unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his chest hair, and punched hard into the air.

“yes！ yes！ yes！ ”

"Gentlemen, don't be too happy, the follow-up publicity resources must keep up, according to the estimated feedback from the film data department, this film can earn back more than 10 times the profit of the cost in the first week, let's prepare to do a big job, and then carnival!"

Bob's excited voice, like a lit match, was thrown into the dry haystack.

It's not just the people of the new line company.

Even the executives from Warner's side howled with the devil crying wolf.

Zou Zhongyan, who was beside him, even breathed a little shorter, and muttered: "Won the box office of 42.37 million in three days, if nothing else, this may be a movie with a total box office of over 100 million."

Come to think of it.

Her body trembled a little with excitement.

This is the charm of being small and big.

You know, the cost of the movie is only $3 million, not 30 million.

"Zhou, I always knew that you were a genius."

Bob, a white old man, walked over, shook Zhou Yutang's hands tightly, and hugged his shoulders intimately: "Mr. Zou has found an incredible genius, congratulations, you have become famous in Hollywood." ”

Bob, the old white man, has a body odor that even strong perfume can't hide.

The blazing eyes of those Warner film executives.

And boiling applause.

It was almost so hot that it suffocated Zhou Yutang.

The whole conference room became a sea of revelry,

"Zhou, welcome to Hollywood."

“WTF！”

At this time, Ethan Hawke was enjoying a leisurely vacation with his family.

Sun, sand, loungers.

Everything is so beautiful.

When he listened to the call, he almost threw his phone into the sea.

After taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Clear Project" has already set a new box office record for his solo work.

No surprises.

Warner will increase investment in publicity resources, and he is about to become a Hollywood actor who has a box office of more than 100 million US dollars.

The blonde woman next to her also exclaimed: "Incredible, incredible, I'm afraid this is one of the biggest dark horses in this year's film market." ”

"There is no doubt about it."

Ethan Hawke laughed: "That Mr. Miracle from the East, he is indeed a genius. ”

There were small earthquakes all over Hollywood.

The soaring box office of "Human Eradication Project" shocked the industry film companies.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The main reason why this low-budget movie can succeed is Zhou Yutang's amazing idea.

Many large companies in the industry that have mastered the news channels have begun to target Zhou Yutang and began to use public relations means to fully publicize him.

Interests are the main theme.

As long as it allows those people to make money.

They will respect you with respect for their own father.

This is Vanity Fair.
