Chapter 183: The Standard of Receiving Drama (Part I) (1/5)
"Fuchun Mountain Residence", the operator is a very famous advertising company owner in Beijing, who usually likes to talk loudly, command the country, and want to make a movie that proves his strength...
This boss is Sun Jianjun!
Shen Mengxi knows him, and he knows his background...
Let's put it this way, Mr. Sun has made two movies before: "Love Call Transfer" and "Fate Call Transfer", the lineup is comparable to the great cause of the founding of the country...
People can go to the United States to study in the 80s of the last century!
"Fuchun Mountain Residence" is said to have a script that is okay...
English name - Switch, Nintendo means!
Action, Thriller, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Treasure Hunting, Cops and Bandits...
A mix of elements!
said that a Hollywood director was asked to shoot it, and after calculating the investment, he felt that it was not enough, and then Mr. Sun himself went on the stage...
The biggest significance of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is a collection of wrong questions, read it a few times, study it, and you can get a lot of experience!
"This project... Can you refuse?"
"It's hard to refuse, with the blessing of China Film and Hangzhou Propaganda Department, inviting Xiao Yang, what you value is her market appeal..."
"Then why not invite?"
Li Yiping glanced at him strangely: "It's not that the market price of the salary starts at 25 million, if it is calculated, it will be 800 + 15%, who can afford it?"
That's right, Andy Lau's salary also starts at 20 million, does the producer still make money?
Not all projects are called "Painted Skin 3"!
"Zhou Runfa's part is called "Tongque Terrace"?"
"Yes... Produced by Changying Studio, released by Light..."
Zhou Yanfa, a legendary figure, "Golden Armor" in 06, "Confucius", "Tongquetai" and then "Great Shanghai"... There is also a "Let the Bullets Fly" in the middle.
Since then, he has basically not cooperated with mainland directors...
Why?
I don't know, it may be that our mainland is not 'professional' enough, and we can't afford to hire a Hollywood-standard fat brother!
Anyway, there are a bunch of rumors circulating on the rivers and lakes that Zhou Runfa is playing a big name...
What else overseas markets...
May I ask how the overseas copyright of "Tongquetai" is sold?
Even Japan, the country that is most interested in the three countries, has not released "Tongquetai"... Bought the rights and broadcast it directly on TV...
What is the box office like in South Korea?
Released on 227 screens in its first week, it attracted more than 30,000 viewers, ranking seventh at the weekend box office...
The total box office did not reach 90,000 moviegoers...
After the mainland market took off, the so-called overseas copyright was at most a drop in the bucket...
Li Yiping noticed Shen Mengxi's unhappy face and asked him, "Are you not optimistic about these two works?"
"I don't think it's optimistic that it will have a big impact..."After thinking about it, he added: "Hollywood is entering the domestic market in a big way, comedy movies will definitely rise rapidly, youth films and romance films can only be regarded as organic components, and there are no better resources!"
“... Well," Li Yiping nodded: "The Hong Kong circle has declined further, and everyone used to squeeze their heads and want to act in Hong Kong films..."
The main reason for the smash hit was that Hong Kong filmmakers had the upper hand, and one of the male and female protagonists of the co-production must be a mainland actor...
In order to comply with this regulation, they used mainland actresses represented by "Sidan Shuangbing" as the heroines of the film, in exchange for ensuring that the male protagonist of the co-production was a Hong Kong artist...
Times have changed!
Hong Kong artists are not so popular.
The further it develops, the more popular it is the large-scale industrial film carried by the male star.
Even the big flowers who have had many classic works and roles are still priceless in today's film market, not to mention those traffic...
Commercial productions are looking for heroines, and they prefer to find Tsing Yi factions with a good reputation, or simply use newcomers.
Don't say that the Chinese market is unhealthy, Hollywood is no different!
At the end of the 90s, when the digital age of Hollywood movies arrived, the good times for actresses were over.
In the past, Hollywood actresses could still mix box office superstars with romantic comedies, but after digitization, this kind of movie has been reduced to a small-budget B-grade film, and A-level big productions will always be action movies and science fiction films.
As for "Resident Evil", "Wonder Woman", "Tomb Raider", and "The Hunger Games", which happen to have female protagonists, it is a drop in the bucket, and it would be good to have one in a few years.
The two went downstairs, and when the elevator door closed, Shen Mengxi suddenly remembered something: "If you have the ability, stuff Nini to Stephen Chow, I heard that he is going to shoot "Journey to the West"..."
“... Zhou Xingchi?"
"Yes!"
......
After entering January, the film market was close to 100 million in addition to the three days of New Year's Day, and then fell silent...
At most, 48 million...
"Intimate Enemies" can't pull the market...
Xu Cairen... At least in the movie, I don't see where the talented girl is!
Before January 10th, it was still "Little Dress" that started, "Intimate Enemies", "Thirteen Hairpins", and "Dragon Gate" rose alternately, and on January 11th, "The Great Magician" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Happy Year of the Dragon" were released...
"The Great Magician": Liang Chaowei, Liu Qingyun, Zhou Xun, Yan Ni, Wu Gang...
This lineup is eye-catching!
During the promotion, Yu Fatzi, president of Bona, shouted the slogan of 500 million box office: "In recent years, there has been a shortage of blockbusters in the Spring Festival, and "The Great Magician" will break this pattern, hoping to use "The Great Magician" to bring the Spring Festival file hot, so that it will not lose the movie-watching boom in the December New Year file, and strive for a box office result of 400 million yuan." ”
"400 million is reached, and the target is 5 or 600 million. Of course, if it can exceed 500 million, and at the same time it will be called 'Zhou Yi'" if it takes over the weekly news of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "The Great Magician", it will be called 'Zhou billion'"
"Someone asked me, what is the selling point of "The Great Magician"? I want to say that this is an extremely well-made and serious comedy blockbuster, and if "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" sells 3D, then "The Great Magician" sells comedy. Someone else asked me, what are we going to do to fight back against Hollywood blockbusters? This schedule, I only have to say four words: Great Magician. ”
Then, the box office on the first day was surpassed by "Pleasant Goat", and it was finally overtaken, and on the fourth day of release, "Sherlock Holmes 2" was released, and then "Counter War" also came...
It's embarrassing...
Sure enough, predicting the box office must start with a slap in the face!
"Counter War", Chef Xie + Zhou Milk Tea, can't sell it!
Lin Chaoxian's "Counter War" has congenital deficiencies, Hong Kong has long been returned to the motherland at that time, but Lin Chaoxian has no national consciousness in this movie, Zhou Milk Cha's home in the movie is placed in Beijing, but he has an inexplicable strange identity of the "International Security Bureau", what kind of organization is this?
I don't know!
Wrong character positioning, empty character settings, narrow Hong Kong film feelings, everything, "Counter War" failed to set off much storm...
When it came to "Mekong" and "Red Sea", with the blessing of the consciousness of a great country, it immediately became a favorite of the market!
There is no big problem with his scene scheduling itself, Lin Chaoxian's action movies like car collisions and subversion scenes, and "Operation Red Sea" magnifies the destruction of cars that he is keen on to military vehicles and tanks.
Likes to use grenades to create explosive effects. In the battle scenes of "Operation Mekong", grenades appear repeatedly, causing violent explosions. In "Operation Red Sea", grenades are still the basic tools for making vision, and they have been sublimated into an expanded version of mortars, missiles and other grenades...
These are all shown in "Counter War"...
But when you watch "Counter War", you just feel awkward!
The reason is the failure of positioning...
......
Shen Mengxi finished explaining the task, and then... After looking at the latest month's expenditure of Tudou Video, the whole person was a little confused.
called Zhang Hongyu directly and asked: "The New Year's Eve concert is so expensive?"
“... At this price, the broadcast cost of the three TV stations is 150 million, and iQiyi and Youku also bought it..."
"Okay, I got it!"
Hanging up the phone, Shen Mengxi complained: Paralyzed, pull a few sponsors next year and do your own New Year's Eve concert...
