The Spring Festival is here, the whole world celebrates, the family is coming, the earth is rejuvenated, and the spring is beautiful everywhere.

And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, peacekeeping in the Western Regions, murder in the Shu Kingdom, demon war, love between man and beast, father and son fighting, captain Biku... and other elements appeared on the big screen together, coupled with a variety of 9.9 yuan and 19.9 yuan movie tickets, the cinema ushered in an unprecedented prosperity for more than ten years.

"The Lion of the Heavenly General" relied on 80 million votes to make up for it, and Cheng Long worked tirelessly to get 23% of the highest scheduled films on the first day, and on the first day of the new year, the box office on the first day also successfully exceeded 100 million.

Although it is only just 100 million, it is also one of the few movies in China that broke 100 million on the first day!

The reputation of the movie is average, a bit like a costume main theme movie, Cheng Long seems to have suddenly changed from a tough guy to a high-ranking village official?

The whole story is that the Great Han Dynasty and the Western Regions were framed by Cheng Long, sent to Yanmen Pass to repair the city, met the little prince of Rome who fled here, and turned enemies into friends after misunderstanding, and then the great prince of the Roman Empire commanded an army of 100,000 troops to press the border, and the two great powers of the East and West fought a decisive battle.

Although it seems to be a large-scale war drama, it actually tells a story of harmonious coexistence, and the male friendship between the three tough guys is estimated to be liked by the rotten girls.

But for viewers with a little bit of historical knowledge, it's a little uncomfortable.

During the Western Han Dynasty, 100,000 troops from Rome to the Han Dynasty were generally sprayed to death when the history of the singularity was written.

And Yanmen Pass... It was in Bingzhou, on the edge of Taiyuan, and it was separated from Shuofang and Liangzhou by the Western Regions.

Something that can be known at a casual glance, there is no one else in this director and screenwriter.

However, when I looked at the director, it turned out to be the UFO hat director Li Rengang, which is not surprising.

The second highest box office on the first day was "Detective Chinatown", which got a box office of 88 million with 19% of the scheduled films.

In fact, this title is not very pleasing in the Spring Festival Tang, solving the case or something, it is the most inappropriate to be released during the Spring Festival, fortunately, relying on various funny trailers, as well as Ning Hao and Wang Baoqiang, the two basic comedy plates, retained the audience.

In terms of word-of-mouth, it is also the best Spring Festival file, whether it is the suspense disparity in detectives or the comedy effect, all of them are praised.

staring at Wang Baoqiang, who had a wavy bubble noodle head, with that weird accent, and the combination of Zhengtai Liu Haoran, he made enough laughs, and finally Zhang Zifeng's evil smile also gave the audience a lot of fright.

As a sequel, "Aomen Fengyun 2" also got 61 million on the first day, a pot of martial arts, gunfights, love, family affection, spoofs, anti-strings, and suspense, but the response was good, and the robot that spoke Western Sichuan added a lot of color.

"Dad's Holiday" is also the second part, but the box office is average, and it only got 16 million on the first day.

Chen Kun and Li Binbin, the two Mesozoic starring "Zhong Kui", got 51 million on the first day.

is a big bad movie, but all films under the banner of magic, 99% of them are bad movies, and you don't have to think about it.

Li Binbin, who was hyped by the filmmaker before, is the mother of Chen Kun's child, but the two of them have a lot of intimate scenes in the movie.

Take a bath and sleep, do everything that should be done, and do what you shouldn't do.

However, all the intimate scenes have a feeling of indifference between the routine of old husbands and wives, which is far worse than the intimate scene with Zhou Xun in "Painted Skin".

"Rushing to the Clouds" got nearly 20 million box office on the first day, but the movie version disappointed TV series fans, which is simply a super long love MV between several pairs of men and women.

The adaptation of the TV series once again ruined the classics.

The last Sino-French co-production 3D epic "Wolf Totem" had a box office of more than 20 million on the first day, and such a movie with wolves as its selling point can get this box office mainly by relying on the previous screenings, and the reputation is very good.

By the way, there is also a movie "Where Did Dad Go 2" during the Spring Festival, before Li Qian thought that "Dad's Holiday" was the sequel to "Where Did Dad Go", but he didn't expect this variety show movie to be released twice on the same day.

Thinking about money and going crazy!

This is also the idea of the public, and there is no lower limit.

However, this "Where Did You Go Daddy 2" did better than "Daddy's Holiday" at the box office, and got more than 40 million box office on the first day.

Eight movies, released on the same day, also pushed the single-day box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year to 400 million!

The market exceeded 400 million in a single day, which also set a new record in the mainland market.

One day after its release, in this Internet era, the potential of almost every movie can be seen.

"Detective Chinatown" relied on comedy + high reputation, and surpassed "Heavenly Heroes" to reach the top of the day the next day, and it also broke 100 million in a single day.

Most of the movies have risen, except for a few that the word-of-mouth is really bad.

The competition among the eight films is unprecedentedly fierce, and the highest-ranked "Heavenly Heroes" is only a little over 20%.

In terms of publicity, he did everything he could, and he began to tear it up the next day.

First of all, Wang Jing posted a Weibo, criticizing "Zhong Kui" for being really ugly, questioning the fraud of the number of votes on Weibo, and the number of votes for "Zhong Kui" was very high, saying that the film party swiped votes.

is really smart, looking at these movies, "Where Did Dad Go", "Dad's Holiday" and "Aomen Fengyun 2" The audience does not overlap.

"Rushing to the Clouds" is a Hong Kong film, its own people.

"Heavenly General Hero" gave Wang Jing two dares, and he didn't dare to scold.

"Wolf Totem" was screened a few days ago, and the reputation was good, and China Film invested 300 million.

"Detective Chinatown" has the best reputation, and Wang Jing does not dare to be afraid.

So "Zhong Kui", which has a bad reputation, the investor is not good enough, the hero and heroine have nothing to do with him, and the director Bao Dexi is not a person all the way has become Wang Jing's goal.

However, the marketing director of "Zhong Kui" also directly tore it up, saying that only a shady person like Wang Jing would see that others voted high and said that it was fake.

also swore that if he faked him and killed the whole family, if not, then Wang Jing would die for the whole family.

This is a bit big, Wang Fatzi didn't dare to follow for a while, and there was no movement on Weibo.

However, the hype sent to the door, "Zhong Kui" did not let go, and the person in charge also turned out a bunch of black history of Wang Jing, and last year stepped on Du Wenze and Huang Qiusheng's bodies to flatter the mainland, and posted on Weibo to announce that he would break off friendship with them.

This mutual attack has turned the Internet into a miasma and a mess.

It's just hype, so what kind of righteous announcement to break off friendship with a few of them is just a show.

After so many years of friends, can you not know who they are?

I used to know that they were this kind of person, how could the relationship be so good and so close, but now when something happens, I quickly put aside the relationship, and I also posted a long Weibo, for fear that others will not know that you have broken up.

These people's overtures are just a look, they look more patriotic than the other on Weibo, but in fact, going to other social software on the Internet to double their remarks is another scene, and there are more double-faced public figures in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

These hypes are useless except for being louder, and the box office with poor reputation has been declining since the third year of junior high school.

Except for "Detective Chinatown", which relied on comedy elements and high word of mouth, the box office continued to rise, and the entire seven-day Spring Festival holiday earned 780 million, which is basically going downhill.

The only difference is "Wolf Totem", when there was only 20 million box office on the first day, it got 150 million in four days, and won 300 million high box office during the entire seven-day long holiday, which has been rising against the market.

"Rushing to the Clouds" barely broke 100 million in seven days, "Where Did You Go Dad" 170 million, "Dad's Holiday" 70 million in seven days, and "Zhong Kui" 260 million in seven days.

There are only three movies left that are big sellers, and "The Lion of the Heavenly General" is close to 500 million in seven days, but when it broke 100 million on the first day, it only took 500 million in seven days, and the trend is also very bad.

"Aomen Fengyun 2" is also a comedy, and the trend is indeed very rebellious, when there was only 60 million on the first day, it was close to 500 million in seven days.

The holiday has passed, and the Spring Festival stalls are already very clear, and "Detective Chinatown" is unbeatable.

In the end, "Detective Chinatown" won the Spring Festival box office championship with a high box office of 1.46 billion, and Ning Hao also stepped into the billion club.

At the end of the Spring Festival, the industry also fell into silence, but it was much quieter.

A year has passed, and major companies are also gearing up for the new year.

Li Qian also has to prepare for the release of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which will be released in a few months' summer vacation.

"The Wandering Earth" is still in a long preparation period, and it is estimated that it will not be able to start filming at this time next year.

However, in mid-April, "Wolf Warrior 2" is finally going to start.

Although the movie is going to Africa for filming, there are also many scenes shot in China, and the scene of the street shootout in Africa was set up at the Huairou Film and Television Base, and the opening ceremony was also set at the Huairou Film and Television Base.

Li Qian went to the scene and watched Wu Jing proudly say to all the media and relatives and friends who were cheering: "This is a great day, for two words: "Wolf Warrior", a great movie is about to be born. ”

These words frightened the reporters at the scene, I have seen those who sell themselves and boast, but I have never seen Wu Jing so bold.

Other directors say nothing about masterpieces and epics, but no one dares to call their movies great.

However, in the face of reporters' doubts, Wu Jing was not stunned at all.

"Wolf Warrior 2" - a great movie, just a few words on the hot search.

The first word-of-mouth was polarized, and the scolding people scolded it very badly, and this sequel called itself a great movie, of course, it also attracted a lot of abuse, how ugly it sounded.

However, whether it is Li Qian or Wu Jing, they don't care, this film is estimated to be filmed for a year, and it is still early, and when the movie is released, it will be known.

Moreover, there are many netizens who support Wu Jing, among today's action actors, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are old, and one of the works is not as good as one.

Donnie Yen has also acted in a bunch of bad movies, and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" has lost the popularity of passers-by, except for the "Ip Man" series, it is estimated that no passers-by will believe it.

Moreover, the candidates for the next "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" Monkey King in the Journey to the West series have been replaced, which shows that the filmmakers are afraid.

Looking at it, there are no domestic action actors.

The genre of action actor is actually very easy to win favor, after all, the tough guy has a good image and the audience likes it.

If it doesn't cause any negative effects, it won't be left alone.

.....

After returning from Huairou, Li Qian also devoted himself to his own work, and continued to work on his own script.

However, his script has not yet been completed, Teng Huatao has already taken the script outline and setting, and is ready to find an artist and special effects company to start the preliminary concept design, and the film is ready to be approved, and the money should be received.

"Director Li, I probably summed it up, and I also asked the special effects company in Hollywood, the scenes of our drama are basically in the magic capital, but the cost is not large, I think the initial investment of 300 million should be enough. ”

The well-prepared large-scale production is finally about to take its first step, and Teng Huatao is excited to think about it.

First find a first-class art and special effects company to do the concept design, half a year later, the scenery will be surveyed, the special effects company will model, and then the actors will be in place in half a year, and then the production will be started in half a year.

Filmed for half a year, added special effects for one year in the post-production, and the movie was released three years later, and it was a big hit at the box office!

One billion is simple, and with the growth rate of the domestic market, maybe one billion box office will be everywhere in three years, how can it be two billion!

Teng Huatao is already imagining the applause and honor after three years, just like many people see a beautiful woman who is so excited that they even think of a child's name.

"300 million, it's not much at best. Li Qian nodded, this cost is not much for a sci-fi blockbuster.

Then he said a little embarrassedly, "Tengdao, the company is currently preparing to go public, and has invested seven or eight billion yuan on several projects, and it will not be able to recover the cost in a short time, so in order to ensure that this year's profits meet the IPO requirements, it may not be able to take out so much money." ”

"......" Teng Hua was stunned, will there be no money in the film industry in the future?

has just raised 1.5 billion, even if it has to be spent on theaters and ticket-buying apps, how can there be a shortage of money if the movie has sold well at the box office?

Teng Huatao calculated an account for Li Qian in his heart, "The Wandering Earth" and "Wolf Warrior" added up to five or six hundred million, and it was not Li Qian's all, and several other projects were not so big to produce.

Last month, it was rumored that Li Qian invested in an animated film crew that had no money, although he didn't know the specific amount, but at most it was 100 million.

If you are fully calculated, half of the 1.5 billion financing will be spent, and what about half of it?

How much money does the cinema chain and that ticketing platform cost?

Just when Tenghua was thinking hard and meditating, he couldn't figure out how the future film industry, which obviously had the best performance, would have run out of money, and it was difficult for Li Qian to swallow it.

Li Qian immediately smiled and said, "But I have already found a good investment for you, Mr. Penguin Chen is very interested in your project, and is willing to invest 200 million, I will call him later, and ask him to contact you." ”

"That's troublesome Director Li. ”

Although there was an investment, Director Li personally helped him pull it, but Teng Huatao always felt that something was wrong.

After a while, Teng Huatao left Future Pictures and walked out of the office building.

April in the capital is still a little cold, and when the cold wind blows, Teng Huatao can't help but shiver.

Teng Huatao, who had calmed down, suddenly stood still, as if he had reacted to something.

He stood there with his head bowed, his fists clenched, and his face was very ugly.

No matter how stupid he is, he can react, Li Qian doesn't want to invest in his films at all.

Nothing has money, it's all an excuse!
