The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 353 Seven Years of Regret
After New Year's Day in 2006, "King Kong" continued to harvest box office, while "Extreme Escape" slowed down significantly, but the daily box office ranking still ranked second in the mainland, second only to "King Kong".

Under such circumstances, by January 300th, the mainland box office of "Extreme Escape" had reached 5000 million. When the film was closed, it must have been 6000 million, but basically it stopped here, and it is unlikely to exceed [-] million.

That is to say, among the domestic films released in 2005, only "Let's Punch, Dad", "The Promise" and "Extreme Escape" broke the box office in the mainland.

This figure is the same as in 2004. In 2004, only three films, "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves", and "House of Flying Daggers" exceeded [-] million yuan.

On the night of January [-]th, the official website of Xinhua News Agency published a special report commenting on the film market in the Mainland in the past year.

First of all, I affirmed that "Mythology" and "Seven Swords" are excellent movies, and they almost broke [-] million. Then I praised "Let's Punch, Dad", "The Promise" and "Extreme Escape". greatly stimulated the mainland market.

In the end, it is a bit of a pity. In 2002, "Hero" had a box office of over [-] million in the Mainland.

In the next three years, 03, 04, and 05—there were more theaters, more theaters and studios, but no movie broke the [-] million mark.

The author of this report feels that this is the only regret for the mainland film market in 2005.

He also expressed his expectation for 2006, hoping that "Fearless", "Curse of the Golden Flower", and "The Banquet" can hit [-] million box office.

"Fearless" has Li Lianjie, "The Golden Flower" is directed by Lao Mouzi, with Fa Ge and Jie Lun, and "Night Banquet" is directed by Feng Xiaogang, with Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, and Ge You.

For such expectations, the vast majority of people are still very recognized.

At the same time, I also very much recognize the regret of the film market in 2005 in the report.

In 2005, more private theaters entered the film market, and there were more movie theaters, but they did not increase the box office of a single film, not even a single film worth [-] million yuan.

……

Li Shengyao didn't get up until ten o'clock in the morning. Recently, the box office of "Extreme Escape" kept increasing, and Chen Xun also worked harder. She even once said that she would give birth to Li Shengyao's child.

Last night, the two fought again.

He then got up to wash up, and when he came to the hall, he smelled the aroma of chicken soup.

"I woke up, I bought a chicken, it weighed more than three catties, and I cooked it all in soup."

Chen Xun was busy in the kitchen, noticed Li Shengyao, and immediately came out with a pot of chicken soup.

There are lotus seeds and red dates.

The yellow chicken fat had already been scooped out.

"Knowing that you don't like to drink too oily soup, I have already filled out the chicken oil."

Li Shengyao nodded, stretched out his hand to grab Chen Xun, and held him in his arms.

"Reward you."

"cut."

Chen Xun spoke disdainfully, but took the initiative to hug Li Shengyao and closed his eyes.

By the time Li Shengyao drank the chicken soup, the chicken soup was already cold, and Chen Xun filled a new pot of soup for her.

She then straightened her clothes and went to work, chopping vegetables and humming.

"When I went out to buy vegetables, I bought a newspaper. Would you like to read it?"

"Any news in particular?"

"Yes, there is Xinhua News Agency's evaluation of the mainland film market last year."

Li Shengyao nodded, then turned to that report, and finished it quickly.

"Doo-doo-doo!"

Chen Xun was quite strong in chopping vegetables, she held the kitchen knife and said: "They just talked about "The Golden Flower", "The Banquet", and "Huo Yuanjia", but they didn't mention your new movie."

Lee Sheng Yew's new movie has not been confirmed yet, how can people mention it.

He smiled, "Don't worry, they will mention it later."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang, but it was his assistant who called.

"Boss, today on the major forums, many posts are discussing last year's movie market. Everyone regrets that there were no movies with more than [-] million yuan."

"I saw several voting posts, and most people think that next year "Curse of the Golden Flower" will have a box office of more than [-] million yuan."

"Should I let the water army in the studio support you?"

Facts have proved that the vast majority of netizens now recognize Lao Mouzi, and they believe that "The Golden Armor in the City" can exceed [-] million.

But what does this matter have to do with Lee Sheng Yew?

His movie hasn't been confirmed yet.

Even if you let the navy blow it, it's not easy to blow it.

"Just wait until I confirm the new movie."

……

Yanjing Huayi Brothers headquarters, general manager office, brothers Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun sat on one side, and Feng Xiaogang sat on the other.

Wang Zhonglei poured tea for the other two people, and then slowly said: "The higher authorities hope that the box office of mainland movies will be higher, the better, and the common people think the same way. We must work hard and strive to break through [-] million yuan."

The ultimate goal of the Wang brothers is to make Huayi go public to collect money.

They attach great importance to the reactions of the common people and the attitude of the higher authorities.

Feng Xiaogang sat there, hunched over, his eyes were still red and bloodshot, and he looked sleepy, as if he had been playing for several nights in a row.

Only now did he realize how tiring it is to make a blockbuster movie. No wonder Lao Mouzi didn't talk much at ordinary times, he was too tired to talk at all.

Regarding Wang Zhonglei's words, Xiaogangpao must be the first to flatter him in the past.

At this time, he didn't have the mood and energy.

"Xiao Gang, your body is not good enough, you need to exercise more."

Feng Xiaogang waved his hand when he heard the words, but still didn't answer.

Wang Zhongjun continued: "I think this year, that is, "The Banquet" and "The Golden Armor" can exceed [-] million, "Huo Yuanjia" can't, Huo Yuanjia's final result is not good, he still died. "

Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help laughing and said, "Why is no one talking about Li Shengyao's new movie?"

"The project has not yet been approved. Who knows what kind of movie it is, but if it is still a movie with an investment of 5000 million like "Let's Punch, Dad" and "Extreme Escape", I don't think it is possible to exceed [-] million."

Before "Extreme Escape" was released, there were many posts on the Internet about black Li Shengyao and "Extreme Escape".

It is said that "Extreme Escape" is unlikely to be successful, and it is said that Lee Sheng Yew's film has a box office of more than 1 million at most, and it is impossible to break [-] million.

The main reason is that the scene is not big enough and the upper limit is not high.

Hearing this, Feng Xiaogang was inexplicably relieved when he thought of Lee Shengyao's investment in the previous two films.

Li Shengyao is now the owner of theaters and video sites, and his status is higher than him.

And there are two over [-] million movies.

However, the goal of "The Banquet" this time is to hit [-] million domestic box office, and then aim at the overseas market, striving to earn as much as "Hero".

He believes that he will be able to overwhelm Li Shengyao this time, and he will be the first to become the director of a single film in the Mainland with a box office of [-] million before Li Shengyao.
