At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 599 Just throwing money at you!
In the original time and space, "Love Has an Afterlife" had a problem with the printing copy - the color difference did not meet Yu Feihong's requirements, and then, the schedule was temporarily adjusted, and it will be released on September 9rd...

The schedule is too cold, coupled with the temporary schedule adjustment, all the originally planned promotional activities have been cancelled...

Even though word-of-mouth drove the box office to pick up in the later stage, "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was released...

This movie is fucking dead!
Even the distributor doesn't run any film festivals...

To be honest, if I hadn't watched a lot of China Entertainment, I wouldn't have known that there was such a movie as "Love Is After Life".

what?
Yu Feihong fans?
Sorry, Yu Feihong has been away from the audience for nearly five years before "Love Has an Afterlife" was released. Not many people know about this movie!
Because it is the work of Chinese-American director Wang Ying, aimed at the North American market...

The film market at this stage is very extensive.

It's like a fire, if it can be ignited, it will be ignited, and if it can't be ignited, it will be extinguished quickly!
Propaganda is fuel, and there must be fuel, so that the fire can flourish...

Simmer and simmer…

There is no such option!

There is also a kind of... selling miserable marketing...

Just like Wu Yusen's "Heaven's Mouth", when it was promoted, it focused on the mainland version of "Blood on the Street"...

After it was released, the word-of-mouth was not good, and then, "Blockbuster" was released, and seeing being crushed by "Blockbuster", Wu Yusen didn't know if he was brain-dead, and publicly said, ""Heavenly Mouth" is the first Chinese-language movie I came back from Hollywood. It's fine if the audience doesn't support it, but why don't the theaters support it? '

support?

Not to mention the mainland market, "Blockbuster" was also released in Hong Kong, and the box office was not very good. It took 300 million Hong Kong dollars in seven days, and it is estimated to be around 600 million...

What about "Heaven's Mouth"?

The Hong Kong box office is less than 50!
The audience voted with their feet. The local market in Hong Kong does not support "Heaven's Mouth". Why do mainland audiences support it?

You're back from Hollywood, so we're rooting for you?

That and Liansheng should vote for the cross-blast - the cross-blast will lead He Liansheng to the moon!
Oh, it is still useful for Wu Yusen to sell miserably. He is selling miserably with China Film Corporation. China Film Film, which has the face of an international director, will definitely give it to him. Besides, he has a big project "Red Cliff" from China Film Film Corporation...

The top of the row is tilted a bit.

……

In the company, Chen Xi was chatting with Huang Bin.

"After "Blockbuster", I don't think there will be any domestic films in the future with the name of domestic blockbusters to promote themselves!"

"...Well, I think so too..."

"Blockbuster" implicitly outputs a point of view: all projects packaged with domestic blockbusters are aimed at money, and have nothing to do with art or movies.

With the release of "Blockbuster", this point of view has been received by most moviegoers.

Chen Xi picked up the weekly box office report that was just delivered, and said, "But there are also bad effects... Many people accused us of cutting off the future of domestic blockbusters!"

Huang Bin didn't care: "I think it's pretty good, have you noticed that this wave of netizens cited bad domestic movies, and didn't mention "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" or "Zhao Zilong"... It shows that what the audience dislikes is not blockbuster movies, but movie titles. A blockbuster blockbuster movie!"

Chen Xi did not continue this topic, but said: "The box office broke 7500 million in five days... What a pity!"

Huang Bin was very curious: "What a pity?"

"If I switch gears with "Life Events", I'm really sure to reach 1.8 million..."

Huang Bin was also a little regretful: "...At that time, no one thought that this movie would be such a hit..."

It's late August, and the market is indeed a bit cold. Otherwise, although it is a bit difficult to break through 9000 million in five days, it is still very possible to have a box office of [-] million in five days.

Speaking of this, Huang Bin suddenly thought of something: "Do you think Xudong has thought about such a situation?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "No need to guess, I asked him..."

"How did he say?"

"He said... Uncle Ge really has charisma!"

"Uncle Ge?"

Huang Bin thought about it for a while...Indeed, although "Big Movie" is starring Chen Daoming, Chen Daoming has starred in Tianmei's two dramas "Outstanding Citizen" and "The Tailor" before, and the highest box office is only 4300 million...

"Blockbuster" can achieve its current market performance, all thanks to Ge You.

"...Ge You is really the only actor in the mainland with market appeal nowadays, do we have any indication?"

"Let's put it bluntly, Xudong directly signed contracts with Uncle Ge for five plays!"

"Five?"

"Well, I heard that he originally wanted to package five plays for 5000 million... Uncle Ge declined!"

"All 5000 million declined?"

"Uncle Ge... used to come one by one... However, he did sign five drama contracts, two of which were with Feng Xiaogang!"

Huang Bin was surprised: "...Cooperate with Feng Xiaogang? Then...Huayi Brothers can agree?"

Chen Xi asked back: "Why do they disagree? Whether it's Uncle Ge or Director Feng, they're not Huayi's signed artists..."

"It's lively now!"

……

Well, it is indeed very lively!
Only six days after the release of "Big Movie", Tianmei Company made another big news, announcing the signing of Ge You's five film contracts.

Now the impact is big...

Five plays, and five in three years, "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" (Director: Feng Xiaogang), "If You Are the One" (Director: Feng Xiaogang), "Rogue Official" (Director: Jiang Wen) and "Magic Moment" "(Director: Ning Hao) and "One Mirror to the End" (Director: Guan Hu)...

Feng Xiaogang, the co-director of the first two films, directly won the investment rights and distribution rights. While director Feng still has value, of course he has to exploit it quickly;
"The Story of the Robber" is "Let the Bullets Fly", and I feel unwilling if such a work is not taken down;

The next two... are both good Japanese comedies in Shen Xudong's memory. "Magic Moment" was later renamed "This Killer Is Not So Calm", and the market feedback was very good. "One Shot to the End" is "Don't Stop the Camera"...

And publicized the signing remuneration: 5000 million for five dramas...

Of course, this price shocked the industry. The salary of 1000 million yuan for a film, even if Liang Chaowei took over the filming of "Red Cliff", the salary was only 100 million U.S. dollars...

"Of course Uncle Ge is worth the price. We are based on the quotation given by the market. We are worried that his salary will increase in the future, so we simply pack five plays..."

"...However, Uncle Ge is still hesitating at the moment, we may adopt a more secure approach."

Secure what?
Establish Ge You Studio and let him jointly invest as an investor...

This kind of practice... Hua Yi is very angry!

After all, Feng's comedy is the root of Huayi's fortune-"Party A, Party B", "Be There or Be Square", "Big Wrist", "Mobile Phone", and "A World Without Thieves" all lead the box office market of Chinese films during the Lunar New Year. Feng Xiaogang + Ge You...

You move them?

Is Tianmei company planning to go to war?

Regarding this, Gao Fenfen's explanation to the media was very calm: "What kind of war? We have a project that is suitable for Director Feng and Ge You, and invite them to work together? Could it be...a violation of the law?"

"...Ge You can act in "Lucky Love" and "Out of Breath", and of course he can act in our company's works!"

"Director Feng is no longer Huayi's signed director, so we have a project to find him, and he likes it, so what's the problem with cooperating?"

"You guys... always complicate things!"

"...Does Xudong know about these things?"

"... He personally grasped these projects... Do you think he knows?"

"What about the others?"

"I went to the Toronto Film Festival...The North American copyrights of "The Raid", "The Wicked Man" and "Crime City" are still looking for buyers..."
