484, the support of Hollywood directors, the junior is on top? The mountain eagle is angry, and a whale falls to all things!
Because of the time difference, the first day of "Gravity" at the North American box office only appeared on October 2.
The result did not surprise Chen Fei, and the box office on the first day was as high as 34.59 million US dollars!
Even if the news of the "successful launch of the Tiangong-1 space laboratory" did not spread in the United States, Red Bull's "Swallow Cave Fixed-Point Jump" was extremely hotly promoted!
With this promotional strategy, the box office performance in North America will not be low.
Domestic entertainment and aesthetic entertainment are actually similar.
The more popular a movie is, the higher the box office results.
Although "Gravity" is a Chinese-language movie, in order to cater to North American audiences, Chen Fei still dubbed it in English.
There are not many actors in the movie, and the main vision is focused on the male lead.
Relying on Chen Fei's current influence and popularity in Hollywood, coupled with the help of those big-name actors and directors who have worked with him, the North American box office performance of this movie is definitely not bad.
Along with the North American box office results, there are also comments from famous Hollywood critics and top directors.
Among them, the evaluation of James Cameron, the director of "Avatar", is the most eye-catching.
He gave the film high praise on film review websites, unreservedly calling "Gravity" "the best space movie ever".
He first affirmed the artistic achievements of the film, saying that the human perspective in the film is very interesting, and believes that Chen Fei has created an excellent portrayal of an ordinary person fighting for life in a weightless space!
When talking about special effects and shooting techniques, Cameron said: "It was a huge challenge to achieve a high degree of realism in a zero-gravity space shot.
In this regard, I very much admire Fei's expression, and I very much hope to have the opportunity to communicate and discuss with him in this regard. ”
Spielberg spoke to the media in the midst of his busy schedule and said: "If you want to show a great performance in the most authentic way, then FeiChen's Gravity is probably the most theatrical experience of the decade." ”
Roland Emmerich, director of the famous thriller and disaster film, said: "It's not so much about immersing you in its cinematic experience, it's about just taking you there, putting you in the stars." ”
Hollywood's "sedan chair" is really good, which directly raises the popularity of "Gravity" in China by another level!
On October 2nd, at nine o'clock in the morning, the box office of the next day was freshly released.
268 million.
As soon as the data was exposed, a gasp suddenly broke out in the circle.
In just two days, the total box office has come to 513 million!
This horse can't be described as "taking off", it's completely like satellite debris, speeding in space!
"It's normal, on the 30th, it is still in the period of heat fermentation, and everyone officially started the holiday on the 1st, and it will definitely usher in a wave of surges, but it is estimated that it will be slightly weaker in the later stage."
In the conference room, in front of several companies, Chen Fei gave his predictions and judgments about the box office.
"Why?"
Han Sanping asked a little eagerly, he was still ready to challenge the seven-day record.
"Because of market capacity."
Chen Fei's words directly woke everyone present from their dreams.
The market is so big, compared to the number of people, the number of people who can enter the theater to watch movies is actually not much.
In just the first three days, it is estimated that one-third of the people have completed the movie-watching experience, and the follow-up will definitely slip.
Chen Fei smiled: "Actually, I think it's already very good, breaking 500 million in two days, if this was put in the past, who would dare to think?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room burst into laughter.
"Prepare for the celebration feast, are you going to the Great Hall? Or go straight to the Bird's Nest? ”
Han Sanping is a person who likes to make big scenes, and his opening is where those small film companies can't even think of it.
"Bird's nest." Ren Zhonglun echoed.
Chen Fei shook his head slightly, slightly helpless.
He doesn't care about these people, anyway, he doesn't need him to prepare for the celebration banquet, just go and eat on an empty stomach when the time comes.
On October 3rd, as Chen Fei expected, the box office did usher in a wave of plummeting.
190 million.
The three days of the first weekend combined, totaling 703 million.
The scene that made Feng Xiaogang painful appeared again, and "The Great Earthquake" was once again pulled out by the media and whipped once.
"Gravity is a big hit at the box office! The total of 703 million in the first three days of the weekend surpassed the 13 million of "The Great Earthquake"! ”
"A number of box office records have been broken, and Chen Fei has once again proved his box office appeal."
"Rookie director Guo Fan, ride the wind!"
“……”
Zhang Weiping jumped out again and made a lot of nonsense in front of the media.
""The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" will not be worse than "Gravity", it will only be stronger than him, and the box office record of Chinese films will be controlled by Zhang Yimou......"
This kind of remarks that are obviously touching porcelain naturally do not get the support of netizens, and for a while, ridicule was all over the official Weibo of "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".
Chen Fei said hello to the public relations department: "No need to respond, he is obviously rubbing the heat, he likes to jump so much, just let him jump, don't break his leg at that time." ”
Unlike the box office explosion of "Gravity", "The Legend of the White Snake" has now fallen into a whirlpool of bad reviews.
After the daily box office fell to 20 million, it shrank by 6 million again to 14 million.
After another day, the data fell again, directly below 10 million!
In just 5 days, the daily box office fell from 32 million to more than 9 million, which is the first time in the domestic film market!
You know, this is a National Day file!
The various negative reviews on the Internet are even more shocking, especially the posts that say that Huang Shengyi's performance is too dusty and too coquettish.
Looking around, all posts about "The Legend of the White Snake" are always inseparable from the words "heaven and earth".
And the sentence "Zhao Yazhi's white snake is from heaven, and Huang Shengyi's white snake is more like 'heaven and earth'" mentioned by the unknown netizen has received hundreds of thousands of likes!
Chen Fei also deliberately went to the bottom of this post to take a look.
The reply below is extremely explicit!
"As we all know, Huang Shengyi is not an acting school, she herself said in an interview that she is good at experiencing roles, and the 'dumb girl' in "Kung Fu" was played after she went to a deaf and dumb school to experience it, so good, where is this wave of energy experienced now?"
"I have a friend in this crew, saying that Huang Shengyi and Cai Zhuoyan are naked and made 'snakeskin', which is really a big scale!"
"Everyone is a junior who has succeeded, isn't it easy to play such a role?"
There are many people who watch jokes, and there are also many people who join in the fun.
On the day of the celebration banquet held by "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", he suddenly claimed in front of the media that the former stole the box office of "Da Wusheng" during the release.
"Han Geng and Wu Zhuke are both representatives of the new generation of actors, with strong appeal, how can the box office of "Da Wusheng" be so low......"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the circle!
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" steals the box office? This is no small matter!
If it is really verified that the situation is true, Han Sanping will definitely "eat melons".
As the eyes of countless media looked at the short and tight and "Da Wusheng", Yang Zai and Huang Shengyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But it was only a sigh of relief, because the decline of the movie box office could not be stopped.
Like the previous public opinion offensive suffered by "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" also suffered from the harassment of fans of Han Geng and Wu Bottle.
"Brainless fans" don't care about right or wrong at all.
They only knew that their idols were being bullied, and then they rushed up.
~
Who is the third master?
How can the nickname of the mountain carving be called in vain?
was slandered out of thin air, and Han Sanping waved the butcher knife without hesitation.
Originally, there was still almost a week before the release of "Da Wusheng" at this time, and the short and tight moth was also for the box office to rise again.
Who would have thought that after only one day, the theater side compressed the schedule of "Da Wusheng" to the extreme.
If you want to watch this movie, you have to wait until three o'clock in the morning to have such a schedule.
This is good, the original daily box office was one or two million, but now it has dropped directly to less than 50,000.
The reason given by the theater chain is very clear: "Because the box office performance of "Da Wusheng" is too poor, and the adjustment of the schedule is also in the regulations, after all, it is impossible to give the prime time to this kind of film with very poor box office feedback, right?" ”
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the short man hurriedly posted an explanation on Weibo, and hurriedly said that he had made a mistake.
However, it's too late to say anything now, and the only ending left for him is the next draw!
You must know that the total box office of this movie is currently less than 40 million, compared to the investment of 70 million, it is a mess.
And if he offended the 'mountain carving', it will not be easy for him to continue to attract investment in this circle in the future.
When it comes to pulling investment, we have to mention Lu Chuan here.
"The King's Feast" started more than two months earlier than "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", but the latter is already about to be released, but the former has not been completed.
Even if the filming time is extended, Lu Taro even asked the investor for money three times and twice.
Xingmei and the Emperor seem to have become his money printing machines, constantly spitting money out of him!
Finally, Jia Hong, the boss of Xingmei, finally couldn't help it, and directly posted on Weibo:
"Don't take my politeness and tolerance as something to deceive, since you don't have that ability, you shouldn't have come to me to invest in the first place, I'm already considering quitting "The King's Feast" completely......"
Jia Hong couldn't bear it anymore.
Even if Qin Lan repeatedly knocked on his door at night, this was not a reason to ask for money!
A nap is millions of dollars, even if Xingmei is strong, but it can't stand such a suck!
Although Yang Shoucheng was not so irritable, he couldn't help it, and kept calling the crew to urge the progress.
The funds he invested in "The King's Feast" are enough to make two Ip Man, and the most important thing is that he doesn't know when he will be able to return to his capital, no matter how rich the emperor is, how can he hold up Lu Chuan to do this?
There are a lot of people in the industry who see the excitement.
Jiang Wen even ran to Chen Fei's side, and his words were full of ridicule.
"This guy hasn't made any blockbusters at all, I doubt "Nanjing! Nanking! "He didn't shoot it in person at the beginning, but now he is going to carry the banner alone, and he will definitely not be able to hold ......"
Shooting a commercial blockbuster is a great test of the director's crew coordination ability, and those who can only sit there and watch the small screen cannot be called a director at all.
Jiang Wenke knows Lu Taro too well, when he first filmed "Looking for a Gun", this kid would only watch the small screen, and it is estimated that it is similar now.
No director likes to offend investors, and Lu Chuan is naturally the same.
Seeing that the situation was not quite right, he sent Qin Lan back to stabilize the capital as soon as possible, and then began to look for a relationship.
At the same time, he even posted a Weibo response:
"Dong Jia, there's no need to be angry, isn't it just a movie, it's easy to say......"
Anyway, my father is also a well-known person in the capital area, and the relationship was quickly found.
Lu Chuan personally returned to the capital and went to meet with the two capitalists with Qin Lan, a tool man.
After making a promise, coupled with the intermediary's peace and guarantee, he really got it!
The next day, Jia Hong deleted the resentful Weibo, and then issued a new announcement:
"The investment in "The King's Feast" will be increased to 140 million, and all filming work is expected to be completed by the end of this month, please wait and see."
A similar announcement was made from the Emperor's side.
From 60 million to 100 million, and then to 140 million, the sunk cost is simply terrible!
Yang Shoucheng even called Chen Fei, his words full of regret and worry.
"Good luck to Yang Dong."
What can Chen Fei say, Lu Chuan has a history of stepping on horses!
After returning to the crew, even if Lu Chuan won another 40 million funds, he was still depressed.
The reason is simple, because there is not enough money!
It is definitely impossible for him to post money by himself, he is just a Pixiu, and the main one is only in and out.
Fortunately, there is also a "love brain" like Qin Lan beside him.
After learning about her boyfriend's predicament, she took the initiative to take out another 6 million to fill in the filming funds.
For a while, Lu Chuan was suddenly full of confidence!
46 million, enough for him to burn.
"Lan Lan, thanks to you, I won't forget your help to me......"
After some confusion, Lu Chuan directly deleted the previous Weibo with flattery, and posted a new Weibo:
"Thank you very much for the support of Jia Dong, Yang Dong, and the most important woman in my life, you can rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations, if this movie does not have a box office of more than 300 million, I will quit the director's ......circle from now on."
As soon as this Weibo was issued, it immediately attracted many onlookers from netizens.
The comments below are wonderful!
"Warm congratulations to Lu Chuan on his retirement from the director's circle, we should raise a glass to celebrate, and firecrackers should go off."
"Still stepping on 300 million? I think you look like 300 million, you can have 300 million in this movie, and I can make movies on horseback. ”
"Invest in one plus more, this kid obviously didn't do a good job of planning, I think this wave of Xingmei and the Emperor is at a loss."
"Hehe, apart from "Looking for a Gun", which movie has he made money?"
"Huh? What are you talking about, brother upstairs? Isn't "Looking for a Gun" the work of director Jiang Wen? ”
"Hahaha, murder!"
Within an hour, because he couldn't stand the ridicule of the outside world, Lu Chuan took the initiative to delete this Weibo.
For a while, the ridicule and sarcasm of netizens became more and more intense.
Jia Hong and Yang Shoucheng were inexplicably panicked......

The National Day file passed in a flash, and when the time came to October 8, the latest box office data of "Gravity" was newly released.
1.072 billion!
For a while, the major media was full of praise again.
After 8 days of release, the box office successfully exceeded 1 billion.
If this achievement is not really placed in front of you, you wouldn't even dare to do it by daydreaming on a horse!
As for North America, according to the latest news, the box office has been infinitely close to $200 million, and it is easy to break the box office records of "Mulan" and "Zodiac".
On the other hand, several Chinese-language movies in the same period, it is called a miserable.
Huayi's "Global Love" invested 20 million, and the total box office reported more than 50 million, which can only be said to be barely guaranteed and spent money to make a shout.
As for the short and tight "Da Wusheng", it is even worse, the film schedule has been suppressed, publicity has been restricted, and there are a lot of bad reviews on the Internet......
With an investment of 70 million, the final box office barely reached 40 million, and then it was directly painted by the theater party.
Several investors lost a miserable amount, and there were even people in the circle who were shouting to ban him and kick him out of the film and television production industry completely.
However, the really worst thing is the "Xinhai Revolution" invested by Changying.
Even though Chen Long and Fan Bingbing claimed to have drunk a lot of wine and filmed a very intense and passionate scene in a way that broke through the convention, they still did not recover the decline at the box office.
The blockbuster with an investment of up to 150 million has been released for nearly 20 days, and the box office has just exceeded 40 million, and the daily box office has dropped to 3 million!
At this moment, insiders suddenly recognized the fact that without the premise of "unit charter support", it is simply difficult for this kind of "gift film" to make money!
And Fan Bingbing, as the heroine, is in a very bad mood.
Liu Yifei joined Chen Fei's $160 million Hollywood blockbuster "Interstellar", followed by Li Bingbin's participation in "Resident Evil 5", followed by Zhang Ziyi's participation in "Dangerous Relationship", and recently Zhou Xun participated in the filming of the Hollywood movie "Cloud Atlas......
tossed a big circle, and actually left her behind! How could she endure this?
Looking left and right, she finally set her sights on the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series.
If she can play the role of "Shirley Young", she will definitely be able to redeem her recent decline.
However, it's not that easy to get the role!
Fan Bingbing thought about it, took out his mobile phone, found the familiar phone number, and sent a text message.
Whether it can be done or not, let's fight for it first!
If Fan Bingbing has fallen into a trough, then Huang Shengyi can be said to have completely fallen to the bottom!
Even if there are other hot events to disperse the firepower, the hot search about "The Legend of the White Snake" is still hanging on Weibo.
Yang Tsai was stunned, he had been trying his best to make the movie a hot search, but he couldn't succeed for a long time.
It's good now, the movie has been released, and the hot search has come.
However, what made him depressed was that this kind of hot search was not what he wanted to see.
Click in, and it's full of ridicule and sarcasm, as well as all sorts of indiscriminate remarks.
Ten days after its release, the box office of "The Legend of the White Snake" seemed to have pressed the pause button after exceeding 100 million, and the daily box office was less than 5 million!
In order to save the movie's reputation, Yang Tsai had to convene the media and held a meeting.
However, except for a few mainland actors, the group of people in Xiangjiang did not attend at all.
Yang Tsai threatened sharply, demanding that those people on the Internet stop all kinds of indiscriminate comments and apologize to Huang Shengyi, otherwise he will not rule out using legal means to protect his rights and interests......
A scene of "heroes saving beauty" is presented.
In the media footage, Huang Shengyi did not make any response to the remarks on the Internet, but cried pear blossoms with rain, as if he had been wronged by something.
Netizens with magical powers found the previous video of Huang Shengyi and Zhou Xingchi terminating the contract.
After comparison, everyone found that Huang Shengyi's crying movements and expressions were exactly the same as before!
For a while, all kinds of ridicule did not stop, but became more and more enthusiastic!
"Tsk, the 'Four Little Flowers' are about to become the 'Three Little Flowers'."
Yang Mi saw it quite thoroughly, this kind of large-scale yellow tone and 'junior superior' remarks can be described as an extremely bad and fatal blow to female stars!
After this incident, even if Huang Shengyi is supported by the gold owner's father, don't think about raising his head in a short time.
"Sister Jia, if you have time, go and inquire, what endorsement on Huang Shengyi is more suitable for me? Let's figure out a way to see if we can grab it? ”
"Okay."
Zeng Jia nodded without hesitation.
The fall of a well-known actress means that many film and television resources and advertising endorsements can be vacated, which is great news for competitors!
When a whale falls, all things are born.
"By the way, Mimi, did you say hello here? "Search" directed by Chen Kaige will start shooting tomorrow, and we have to prepare to join the group. ”
"Uh-huh, it's already hello."
Yang Mi nodded slightly.
In order to shoot "Search", she even went to talk to Wang Changtian.
The light doesn't mind this kind of drama, as long as it doesn't delay the filming progress of "The Four Famous Catches 2".
Moreover, Yang Mi starred in the movie directed by Chen Kaige, which is also a kind of publicity blessing for the crew of "The Four Famous Catches", so he naturally has no reason to refuse.
"That's good."
Zeng Jia breathed a sigh of relief and was already thinking about how to carry out publicity.
Holding the heroine of "The Four Famous Catches", plus the female number two role in "Search" directed by Chen Kaige, just ask, how can she Liu Shishi chase her?
