You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

Chapter 793 Mars shifts gears, Pacific Rim fills in, the 3D era is about to open
Time flies, and soon came January 2006, 1.

Today is 12 days away from New Year's Eve.

This day is the annual meeting of Stars and Seas, and it is also the day when "The Promise" will be painted.

"The Promise" was released for one month, and the mainland box office finally reached [-] million.

The figure of 1.75 million is much better than the 05 million of the original time and space, but if compared with the box office and the number of big screens in the same period of [-], this increase is obviously not qualified.

However, the outside world does not know the data of the original time and space. They only know that [-] million is already quite good based on the current situation of the mainland film market.

In 05, it could be marketed as "the combination of Jiang Yan + Long Ge's "New Police Story", ranking second in the box office list."

If the great poet really wants to use this kind of marketing method, the momentum will be absolutely huge, and it may also add a fire to the release of "The Promise" in Hong Kong, Taiwan, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America.

But the great poet is obviously not stupid.

If he really wanted to do this, he would have to offend both Jiang Yan and Brother Long at the same time, and it wouldn't be easy for him to do anything.

Moreover, the great poet obviously has greater pursuits. What he values ​​is not money. Anyway, many investments are not his money, so talking about money is too vulgar.

What he values ​​is artistry!
So starting a week before "The Promise" was drawn, the media's achievements about "The Promise" were almost all about "winning the 63rd Golden Globe Award nomination for Laomei".

This has also succeeded in making many people ignore the big loss of "The Promise" and "The Murder Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", and instead further recognize that the great poet really has something.

He is indeed the man who made "Farewell My Concubine"!

It's just that the Golden Globes are not so easy to win, and the Internet has memories after all.

Even if he won the Golden Globe Award, those cute netizens on the Internet will not really look at him differently just because of the Golden Globe Award.

After all, who made your "The Promise" really have too many slots.

Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that "The Promise" will become a major memory point in 05 in the future.

It's just that no matter how netizens complain about it, it is also true that "The Promise" won [-] million at the box office and brought a lot of stimulation to the Chinese film market.

Especially for those companies that need a lot of external funds, the domestic film "The Promise" has a "double harvest" in terms of box office and awards, which has allowed many projects to have sufficient funds at once.

Among them, Huayi Brothers has gained the most.

In the past few years, Huayi Brothers has established a sufficient reputation in the industry by virtue of its cooperation with Xingchenhai, and at the same time has accumulated a lot of strength.

With such conditions, it has naturally become the investment priority of coal bosses.

So soon, Huayi announced that two blockbuster films will be released in 06.

One is an estimated cost of 2000 million US dollars, referring to the Western "Hamlet" oriental ancient historical blockbuster: "The Banquet".

Another blockbuster, also based on an ancient Chinese story, cost no less than 1500 million U.S. dollars: "Mo Gong".

According to the current media reports, the public knows that the two films are all attended by big names. "The Banquet" will be starred by Uncle Ge and International Chapter, and "Ink Attack" will be led by Hua Tsai. Movie fans cast a lot of attention.

In addition to these two confirmed blockbusters, Huayi Brothers has two more blockbusters in the pipeline, namely "Baby Project" and "Restless Dogs".

The former will cooperate with Long Ge, and the latter will adjust according to the situation. Anyway, it is still a blockbuster.

As a result, Huayi Brothers became famous for a while, and some media even commented that Huayi Brothers already had the momentum to catch up with the stars and the sea.

It's just that such an argument is definitely not believed by many people.

What kind of film company Stars and Seas is, it has been well known in China in the past few years.

It is at the level of an aircraft carrier. The global box office of a "Kung Fu Panda" can match the total domestic box office for several years. Can Xiaohuayi compare with it?

The media also thought so, so as the end of the year approached, everyone's attention was also focused on Xingchenhai's official website.

According to the practice of Xingchenhai, at the annual meeting at the end of each year, Xingchenhai will release some important project information for the next year on the official website.

And today is the annual meeting of the stars and seas, so if nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to see the news this afternoon or tomorrow.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Xingchenhai released the first message.

It's just that the news is not very good.

"The Martian, which was originally scheduled to be released in the second half of 06, will be postponed, and the specific time has not yet been determined."

This time, the domestic filmmakers and media people were very surprised.

"Postponed again?"

"Yeah, originally it was released in 04 at the earliest, but now it can't be shown in 06."

"Is science fiction so difficult to shoot?"

"I don't know, anyway, if the stars and seas can't be photographed, no one in China can."

"Is there something wrong with Stars and Seas?"

"I don't know, wait a little longer, there will be other news later, don't worry..."

Since "Moon", sci-fi films have gained a certain amount of soil in China, so Jiang Yan said at the time that he would make "The Martian", which aroused great attention in China.

It's only been more than two years, and everyone only knows the name of "The Martian" and the cost of about 5000 million US dollars, and there is no other information.

This keeps the mystery of the movie at a high level.

In theory, such a situation is of great help to the release of "The Martian".

The higher the attention, the higher the box office.

But Jiang Yan knew that this was all fake.

So he still decided to postpone the release.

Because after experimenting several times in different worlds, all of them came to the same result.

That is, before the 08 Olympic Games, "The Martian" will be released!
The domestic box office of the film will not exceed 5000 million, let alone the foreign box office.

The reason is also very simple, that is, national confidence.

Before the 08 Olympics and after the Olympics, the confidence of Chinese people is completely different.

So that the attitude towards many things has become completely different.

Among them is the domestic sci-fi movie "The Martian".

In a different world, "The Martian", which was released before 08, was full of criticism in China, and these criticisms were almost all aimed at the film's conception "the movie is unrealistic".

"Chinese people go to Mars to grow vegetables instead of doing other things? Not only is it ridiculous, but also embarrassing!"

This is the film review with the highest degree of unity after experiments in several worlds.

But if it was released after the 08 Olympics, the direction of film critics would be completely different.

"Our journey is the sea of ​​stars!"

So that the domestic box office directly soared to more than 8 million!

Seeing such a huge difference, Jiang Yan himself found it inconceivable.

1.5 million and 8 million, after removing factors such as the growth of theaters in the middle years, the difference is too much!
In his impression, the 08 Olympics does not seem to have such a great magic power, which can change the attitude of the people of the whole country to such a big change. If there is, it will have to be after the economic war or the epidemic.

So after the first test, he was still extremely skeptical.

But after several experiments and various methods, the result was almost the same, so Jiang Yan would have to believe it.

So after returning to reality, Jiang Yan directly made a decision: change the schedule!
And once the schedule is changed, many things have to change accordingly, for example, the original book of "The Martian" has to be written, otherwise it is very likely to collide with the original author.

Fortunately, these are small things, just take your time.

And after "The Martian" is postponed, it's not that there are no other movies that can top it.

In another world, Jiang Yan had experimented with this situation.

In the end, he found that, unlike the huge deviation in the results of "The Martian" before and after the 08 Olympics, the results of "Pacific Rim" were reversed.

In 06 and 07, Jiang Yan's version of "Pacific Rim" was released around the world. After several trials, it won an average box office of about 4.5 million US dollars.

However, when it was released from 08 to 11, the global box office did not rise, but fell by 0.5 to 1 million US dollars.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. After 08, Hollywood has entered the age of the Marvel universe and the 3D era. The advantage of differentiated marketing is gone. Coupled with many force majeure factors, films with Chinese protagonists have been cold.

Before that, the 3D version of "Pacific Rim" with new technology has great advantages. After all, everyone has never seen a 3D blockbuster, so it will naturally greatly stimulate the box office.

Moreover, "Pacific Rim" is not the same as "The Martian" hardcore science fiction. The former is about fighting monsters and is a subject that is loved by the whole world, while the latter has ideological output, and everyone understands it.

At first glance, there are many unreasonable things in the above situation, but there is no way, this is the fact.

Of course, if it is after 2011, the global box office will be even higher. From 15, domestic box office alone will be able to cut at least 30 billion yuan.

However, the data after 2011 cannot be used as a reference, it is too far away, and it has already collided with the original version.

So if Jiang Yan is going to be released now, the best time is before 08.

So without hesitation, after the postponement of "The Martian", the official website of Xingchenhai updated the new news next.

"Our company's new masterpiece, the sci-fi blockbuster "Pacific Rim 3D" will meet with global audiences this summer."

This time, it shocked the media and movie fans who were following the news of Xingchenhaihai again.

"Damn it, a masterpiece! Did you see that, according to the pissing nature of the stars and the sea, if Zi used this word, then the cost of this film is probably not small."

"The quality will definitely not be bad!"

"Just now I was saying that there might be something wrong with the stars and the sea, but now there is a masterpiece, tsk tsk, this year's movie market is fun."

""Pacific Rim 3D"? There is no news about this movie before, the sea of ​​stars is really tightly covered!"

"What does 3D mean?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know if it's the kind I understand."

"Hey, look, there's new news..."

The media and netizens were discussing it, and another news was updated on the Xingchenhai official website.

It turns out that this news is not about a new project, but about the introduction of 3D technology.

Soon, everyone was shocked.

"It turns out that 3D technology is so tricky?"

"Really or not?"

"Hollywood Cameron and Spielberg both plan to use 3D?"

"It's unbelievable, our country has come to the front of the world?"

"Don't know what the fare will be."

"The ticket price doesn't matter, as long as the effect is good."

"I'm looking forward to it, the summer vacation is right, do the math, there are still six months left, it's hard..."

In fact, 3D technology has been around for nearly a hundred years. The stars and the sea are just a wave of upgrades based on the original foundation, which is probably the kind of upgrade from a small sampan to a cruiser.

At the same time of publicity, Jiang Yan did not forget to bring Cameron with him. After all, this technology was indeed cooperated with him. Now Cameron has already started to use it and started filming "Avatar".

However, the media and movie fans probably don't understand the specific technology, so the stars and the sea only sketched it sideways, saying that with this technology, how good the movie will be.

Produced by Xingchenhai + screenwriter Jiang Yan starring + new technology + recognition from major directors such as Cameron.

With such a description, "Pacific Rim" instantly became the most anticipated movie in the mainland in 06.

Moreover, the popularity of "Pacific Rim" is not only hot in China, but also in the whole world, because it is the starring role of Zonda, so its popularity will not be low.

Of course, if you really want to say that it is very popular, it is definitely not as good as other Hollywood blockbusters to be released this year, such as "The Da Vinci Code", "Superman Returns", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest", "Fast and Furious 3" "wait.

But Jiang Yan said that it doesn't matter, because it is still more than half a year before it is released in North America, so it's too early to say anything. When it really starts to be released, "Pacific Rim" will shock everyone!
After the disclosure of "Pacific Rim", Xingchenhai continued to disclose a lot of project information.

"Crazy Stone": The director is newcomer Ning Hao, starring Guo Tao.

"Love Call Transfer": The director is Zhang Shuang, starring Xu Shanzheng.

These two are low-cost films, so the media will naturally not pay too much attention to them.

Of course, there are also high-profile ones, such as "Hot-Blooded High School".

The weight of this film is relatively heavy, because it is starring Jiang Yan.

But it is a pity that Xingchenhaihai said that this film has no chance to be released in China because of the subject matter, and can only be shown in Xiangjiang, Neon and other places.

So when the time comes, Jiang Yan fans can only wait for online resources or spend money to go to the camp to watch.

In addition to the above three films, there is another film released by Stars and Seas this time, whose anticipation is almost second only to "Pacific Rim", that is "Initial D2:: Alpine Circuit", starring the original cast .

After "Initial D1" scored 1.1 million box office in the mainland, the industry's expectations for this movie are very high.

The ones with the highest expectations are naturally Jay Chou fans and Guan Xi Yanzu fans.

But what they didn't know was that the film Yuan Shikong had aborted, and this time it was Jiang Yan's benefit to them.

So if this movie can't get a satisfactory box office by then, then I'm really sorry for Jiang Yan. . .

These are the 06 movie plans of Stars and Seas for the time being.

All that's left are some TV drama plans.

"Soldier Assault", "Snow Leopard", "My Brother is Shunliu", "No. [-] in the World", "Little Fish and Flowers", "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "Mythology" TV series. . .

It's just that TV series are inherently low compared to movies.

In addition, the current media has been dazzled by the various blockbusters released by major domestic companies.

It's "The Banquet" and "Mo Gong". In January, Jet Lian Jie's "Huo Yuan Jia" will be released. In the summer file, there will be the much-anticipated "Pacific Rim". In the second half of the year, there will be "Initial D1". . .

With so many domestic blockbusters, the cost of each movie starts at tens of millions of dollars.

This is an unprecedented film prosperity!

Under such circumstances, if you want them to pay attention to TV dramas, you have to wait until the wave of enthusiasm passes.

Moreover, many people have begun to express extremely optimistic views, saying that the era of TV dramas may not be in the future. After all, domestic movies have ushered in a prosperous age, and movies are the seventh largest art. The country has begun to rise in all aspects of movies. It will soon surpass Hollywood and become the strongest in the world. . .

In this regard, Jiang Yan can only say one thing to these people, change careers quickly!
