Chapter 252: "Moving Maze" Released in China (2/6)

In fact, not only Yang Xiaomi was angry, but several other actresses in the company also felt angry...

Why do you need to use Liu Yifei?

That's all there is to it, give it to her, what about us?

Although I don't know what the quality of "Those Years" was, the screenwriter is Shen Mengxi!

The producer and producer are their own companies...

Don't use your own people for Mao?

Lao Cai asked Li Yiping...

The relationship between Lao Cai and Liu Yifei...

Let's put it this way, Liu Shishi's "Liao Zhai Zhi Zhi Zhi Xin Fourteen Niang", when it was promoted in entertainment newspapers, it was under the banner of "Xiao Liu Yifei", and even the official picture album of Condor Shooting that introduced Liu Shishi was marked as 'graduated from Northern Dance, and was hailed by the media as Liu Yifei's successor. ’

Probably just can't get it, and I've been thinking about it...

Therefore, when I heard the news of the copy of "Those Years", I immediately called Li Yiping, who told her, 'Mr. Shen is going to make a series of genre films, and you also know that in the stage of land reclamation, you need the help of more famous stars, so "Painted Skin" found Zhao Bafei and Zhou Xun, and "Those Years" found Liu Yifei, after "Painted Skin", Mengxi is ready to make a few similar movies around the worldview of Painted Skin Movies, using our own actors;

This is true, of course!

Shen Mengxi really wants to make a few more youth films, of course, the story looks relatively smooth, produced under the name of Mengxi, a little bad, released in the name of Mingxi...

He was stimulated by the fat man - there will always be bad movies anyway, and if I don't do it, someone else will do it.

"To Youth", 719 million;

"The Year in a Hurry", 588 million;

"Left Ear", 485 million;

"You at the Same Table", 455 million...

It's so fragrant!

Liu Shishi relayed these to Yang Xiaomi, who was a little deflated.

But I'm still a little angry...

"Why her? The box office of "Painted Skin" has caught up with the two "King of Kung Fu"!"

“... I don't know, eh, how did you shoot "Snail House"?"

"It's ok... It's just that the scale of this play is so big!"

"The scale is large... Tell me about it!"

I won't be sleepy if you say this!

"It's 'personal debts, I'll pay for them', 'the whip can't reach it', and when she called her boyfriend, Song Siming deliberately teased her..."

"Why is it a large scale... Oh, I see!"

Then the two exchanged idioms, such as 'sitting and sighing with your hands', 'the coming day is long', 'seeing the stitches and inserting needles' and the like...

Alas, women are dirty, and there is nothing wrong with men.

......

Shen Mengxi was very busy, and on the second day of the official assembly of "Those Years", he asked for leave...

The crew of "Moving Labyrinth" came to China to promote.

China is the last country where "Moving Labyrinth" was released.

China Film has arranged a very good schedule, the twentieth of the first month!

Box office target, 80 million yuan...

It's not that I don't want to break 100 million or get a higher box office, but I have to be realistic - what is the mainland box office of "Twilight"?

12.44 million!

Chinese audiences are not that interested in vampire love!

"Moving Labyrinth", of course, the theme is different from "Twilight", but this thing also belongs to the youth fantasy genre, the most important thing, there are not so many special effects.

In those years, the Hollywood movies that won the high box office in China, except for "Titanic", were all blockbusters piled up with big special effects...

"Moving Labyrinth" has nothing to do with blockbusters...

And there are no blockbuster stars to join.

Twentieth Century Fox also doesn't pay much attention to the box office in China, and the best movies they produce in China are "Titanic", and then "Ice Age" has 54 million...

Therefore, I am really not prepared to spend a lot of effort to please Chinese fans.

If Shen Mengxi hadn't been angry this time, the crew wouldn't have paid so much attention to this trip to China.

......

first met with Han Dong of China Film, and the two talked about overseas distribution for a while.

By the way, Liu Yifei didn't come along, she stayed in the crew, looking for a feeling...

Tsk, do you still want to find a feeling when making a youth film?

Han Dong is really humbly asking: The North American box office of the main "Red Cliff" is too bad!

How bad is it - 16 theaters opened, released for four days, and the cumulative total box office was $15,000!

Why did you find Lao Wu as a director in the first place?

Just want to take advantage of its fame in North America!

As a result, no distributor was willing to take on the play, and it was not released on a large scale...

Then let's screen it first...

Overseas films to the North American market basically follow the path of first screening, and then expand the theaters in the later stage...

There is no use for eggs, 16 theaters, a total of 15,000 in the first weekend and four days!

The box office of a single museum did not reach $10 million...

It was impossible to release this thing on a large scale, and in the end, the theater chain increased to 68 theaters, and it was released for about seven weeks, with a cumulative box office of 610,000 US dollars...

"Wu Ji" is 660,000 US dollars, of course, the number of "Wu Ji" art galleries is 213...

"It's normal, Americans are not interested in the history of the Three Kingdoms! They can't even figure out the names of the characters of the Three Kingdoms, so how can they understand this story?"

Shen Mengxi comforted Han Dong...

Han Dong waved his hand: "I don't care, it's just such a big investment, it's a bit of a pity that it failed to open up the situation in the North American market!"

"It's too difficult for Chinese films to open up in the U.S. market! Borrowing a boat to go to sea can only be an expedient measure..."

"Let's start with the domestic market!"

After chatting for a while, I arrived at the venue, and the protagonists of "Moving Labyrinth", as well as Da Tiantian and Wu Jing, were all on the scene.

"Actually, we were filming the second part, and halfway through the filming, we were organized by the producers to come together to promote China..."

"The producer said, 'Who of you doesn't want to go, wait for the character to be written!'... Then, we all came..."

Speaking is Henry Cavill, the star of "Moving Labyrinth" ...

The atmosphere is good, and most of the people who come are fans of "Moving Labyrinth" - real book fans, not To!

Shen Mengxi came to the stage, and the book fans below screamed all kinds of screams...

Ma Dan, why do my book lovers have a tendency to fandom?

The host obviously knew Shen Mengxi, and quickly turned the topic at him:

"I heard that the crew of "Moving Maze" came to promote this time, and you single-handedly contributed to it?"

"It's not about facilitating, the actors should also want to take the opportunity of publicity to come to China to have fun..."

"What role does Writer Shen play in 'Moving Labyrinth'?"

"The chief screenwriter and producer, "Moving Labyrinth", from the beginning of the project, it was built in the form of a trilogy, of course, Fox has always suggested to me that I want to change it to a five-part series or learn "Harry Potter", and simply make it into an eight-part movie..."

"And what do you think?"

“... I don't have any ideas, it's just that I've finished writing this series, and it's too late to revise it now..."

"Then as the author of the original book, what do you think of the movie?"

"Personally, I think "Moving Maze" is really a very good teen sci-fi film, the rhythm, suspense and sense of the end of the world are in place, and the actors are also very good..."

The ended, the movie was screened, the audience entered, and Shen Mengxi found Duncan Jones and was ready to talk to him about "Source Code"...
