Chapter 37: It's Embarrassing (5/5)
"Walking with God" has dominated more than ninety percent of the market from the first day of release - the film market, focusing on winners take all!
Correspondingly, whether it is "The Great Ming Gorilla" or "The Ruffian Hero's Dream of All-Out War", and even "The Hunger Games", they have all been ignored...
"Da Ming Gorilla" is really embarrassing, Tou Tie was released on the same day as "Walking with God", but it was smashed - the box office of the first four days was 11 million, and a press release was also issued: The 3D/CG giant "Da Ming Gorilla" produced by Huayi Brothers was released nationwide on June 28. In the past four days of the weekend, the box office reputation of "Daming Gorilla" has performed well, according to the film's data, the film's cumulative box office has reached 11 million!
"Daming Gorilla" became famous in one hit, and the ultimate battle of the two apes overturned the summer file!
Jinnyima is embarrassed...
As for the Korean box office, not to mention, "Walking with God" itself is an adaptation of Korean comics, which won 3 million viewers in the first four days of the first weekend, and is likely to become a Chinese-language movie with a box office of more than 10 million viewers!
It stands to reason that "Search" shouldn't have been released the next weekend - obviously "Walking with God" has a lot of stamina, and it's not looking for death when it's released at this time!
And this time "Search" did not cooperate with China Film, and Lao Chen's name was not as useful as a few years ago - when "Wuji" was released, all theaters across the country ranked "Wuji"...
No, where did you get your faith?
......
"The first is that the script is good... Mengxi introduced me to the original comic of "Walking with God", the whole script is actually a trilogy, the first part is called Crime and Punishment, the second step is cause and fate, and the second part is to solve the mystery of the past life of the messengers thousands of years ago. ”
“... I have been working with Wu Ershan for a long time, filming with him, although it is hard, but I have the bottom in my heart, sometimes, for actors, working with a familiar person is a sense of security!"
Chen Kun was interviewed in an exclusive interview, of course, talking about "Walking with God"...
This movie has gone crazy, with a box office score of 62 million on weekdays, a drop of only about 20%, and a box office of more than 400 million in five days of release - maintaining a single-day performance of more than 50 million...
It's now the eighth day, and the cumulative box office in the first seven days is 540 million...
Now, basically no one doubts Shen Mengxi's words - he said 1.5 billion starts!
Chen Kun, as the male lead in "Walking with God", naturally benefited a lot.
This is also what he deserves - in this movie, his salary is 1.2 million + 5% of the mainland's income sharing, and the bet is that the mainland can make it!
His salary for "Happiness Quota" and "Butterfly on the Shoulder" is 5 million and 8 million respectively...
"We are just actors, what the movie can end up being, whether the market will accept it, we will not think about it so comprehensively..."
"If it sells well, of course I'm happy, which means that the audience likes it!"
It's a normal access—the kind you ask me to answer.
Take a look at Search...
Lao Chen also contributed to the promotion of "Search"!
At the premiere scene, the words were amazing: "I'm always filming the most awesome stupid guys..."
"In "Farewell My Concubine", Yu Ji played by Zhang Guorong is good to sing well, but he just wants to bring the awesome on the stage to his own life, isn't this stupid?
In "Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin", a scoundrel wants to kill a monarch who dominates the world, which is a very stupid idea, but it is precisely because of this sword that there is a swan song for the ages, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return".
In the same way, whether it is Cheng Ying in "Zhao's Orphan" or the father in "With You", they are all doing a very awesome but stupid thing. ”
As the first director to suffer from "cyber violence", reporters asked whether the emotions left over from the "steamed bun bloodshed" in "Wuji" were projected in the movie "Search", in this regard, Lao Chen said frankly: "It is not awesome to take revenge for personal revenge in your own movie".
Hehe...
Didn't you sue him back then?
To be reasonable, the spoof of "Steamed Bun" is actually not too excessive, and it is far worse than some critics in terms of vitriol, and the reason for being sued is that Hu is not a person in their circle, and the number of broadcasts is still so high: Who are you, you dare to criticize me!
A reporter asked: "The core of "Search" is online violence, and the core of "Hunting" is also verbal violence... And the expression of "Hunting" is obviously more direct and bold, do you worry that someone will compare?"
Lao Chen obviously didn't expect this, so he asked rhetorically: "Hunting"?"
"Directed by Shen Mengxi, he won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture!"
Lao Chen hadn't watched "Hunting", but he couldn't say it directly, so he simply talked about it left and right: "Life has its own laws, like a river flowing." I didn't want to denounce anyone when I made such a movie, and the story happened so naturally, full of so many contradictions, conflicts, entanglements, entanglements, and even pain, but also a lot of joy and humor. ”
The reporter was a little confused, I asked you but you are not worried about the comparison with "Hunting", what do you answer when you step on a horse?
Just tell me about "Wu Ji" rubbish, what do you say 'Wu Ji is China's first original magic movie', in fact, for many audiences, the only meaning of "Wu Ji" is to tell them: blockbusters can also be bad movies!
It's not easy for reporters to ask, just wait and see the comments...
......
At the scene, Hu Ge was very embarrassed, when he took "Search", Shen Mengxi also told him that he might be compared with "Hunting", because the two cores are completely identical...
After the domestic screening of "Hunting", he watched it once, and then understood what it meant...
is also about rumors and misunderstandings that cause bad consequences, and "Search" is like scum compared to "Hunting";
The male protagonist of "The Hunt" is completely innocent and falls into a cruel environment of suspicion and grievance;
Ye Lanqiu in "Searching" is at fault in itself, and the reason why things are so big that it leads to doxing is also caused by herself, which can't be excused by being sick - you can not give up your seat, but you can't pat your thighs and 'sit here'...
And compared to Ye Lanqiu's suicide, the killing of "Hunting" is obviously a little more exciting!
But at that time, he had already finished filming "Search"...
Why the embarrassment?
Because after he cooperated with Director Chen, he probably learned a little about his habits, and it was rumored that no one dared to tell the truth to Lao Chen now.
- Just like Ning Hao said.
After "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao is very proud, indeed, at the age of 28, his debut is so hanging, he also has the capital to be proud...
In 06, in an interview with "Southern Weekly", he was also willing to say something from the heart, and the editor asked him: Many people think that "Crazy Stone" is much better than blockbusters like "Wuji"...
He replied directly: Lao Chen reached a peak in "Farewell My Concubine". But he was later isolated, and there were no truth-tellers around him...
That's right, no matter how powerful the creator is, it's best to have people around him who beat, but to make more progress, it's not a good thing to be unanimously held by the people around you.
As for the broken script of "White Porridge Pop", no one in Director Chen's team can see that something is wrong?
Why doesn't anyone dare to say it?
"Hunting", Shen Mengxi won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, and "Search" collided with it...
But Lao Hu was thinking at the same time - Director Chen might have watched "Hunting"...
Well, through his answer, Lao Hu can be sure: Director Chen has not watched "Hunting"...
