You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 226 The Seven New Patterns of Hollywood (2, 200 monthly tickets plus more)

In the middle and late December in China, the film market is becoming more and more prosperous. There are three popular blockbusters "Assembly", "Certificate of Fame" and "Lost Orphans" on the market.

Because of the sudden emergence of "Lost Orphans", "Certificate of Voting" did not meet expectations. What Chen Kexin didn't expect was that the market performance of Feng Xiaogang's modern war film "Assembly", which had no star cast, exceeded his expectations.

This movie actually withstood the impact of "Voice of Fame" and "Lonely Orphaned", and took the lead in breaking through 1.5 million at the box office before New Year's Day, surpassing "Voice of Fame" and "Lost Orphaned", which made Chen Kexin start to rethink the preferences of mainland audiences .

Now it seems that among the three movies, "Assembly" is the most promising to break [-] million.

In Huayi Brothers Company, Feng Xiaogang, who has been humiliated for the past, is full of ambitions. His two works with over [-] million yuan are already second only to Zhang Yimou in China, and his box office of "Assembly" is higher than that of "Lonely" and "Twilight". Both are high.

The most important thing is that I have almost no star cast. The male lead Zhang Hanyu was hardly famous before. What does this mean? It means that this film depends on his director ability.

Even Wang Zhonglei said, "The three major mainland directors, let's wait for Zhang Chenfeng!"

Feng Xiaogang smiled slightly, "I think it shouldn't be difficult for "Assembly" to surpass "The Promise" at the box office."

Wang Zhonglei hurriedly changed his words, "Zhang Feng Chen!"

Feng Xiaogang is satisfied. I used to call you Mr. Kai, but now what are you doing? My "Night Banquet" was unsuccessful, and I was not spoofed into "Stories My Uncle and Sister-in-Law Have to Tell".

However, he also has regrets, "If it weren't for the loss of orphans and the nomination certificate, if only ours was on the market, "Transformers" wouldn't be so arrogant."

In 2007, "Transformers" should be the box office champion in the mainland, with a total of 2.8 million. Although the three films "Assembly" are still in theaters, they are far from enough.

Feng Xiaogang felt that without these two competitors, he would have hoped to surpass "Transformers", and at the same time surpass Zhang Yimou's highest-grossing "Golden Armor", by then it would be Feng Zhangchen.

But there are not so many ifs in the world, so he can only hope for his next work. The investment in war films is too large. Next, he plans to return to his old job and make a light-hearted comedy with Yuko. Part of the script has been written. It will be released this year.

While chatting, Chen Guofu came in, "I just received a piece of news from the United States, which is very interesting."

Feng Xiaogang leaned on the chair, "What news?"

Chen Guofu, "It's nothing, just a summary of the 2007 North American box office market data from the boxofficemojo website."

Wang Zhonglei was impatient, "A bunch of data? What's the point of that?"

Chen Guofu, "What's interesting is that the No. 6 market share is Longhoutou Films."

"What!" Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang sat up straight away, their first reaction was, how is it possible, the data must be false!
Isn't that a new company, and there are not many movies. Isn't there the Big Six in Hollywood? Stan Films, why are these small companies being suppressed by the dragon?

And No.6, that means there is another six that was overwhelmed by the dragon!
How powerful is a small company that has been established for two years?
Chen Guofu, "It can't be faked. The US side is also discussing it hotly. The media are shouting that another DreamWorks has risen, and King Power is the next Spielberg."

Feng Xiaogang suddenly felt that it is not very happy to break the [-] million box office in the mainland. Damn, it is really disappointing. He was happy at first, so what are you talking about.

Wang Zhonglei was still a little curious, "Which one is the Sixth University that was overwhelmed by the dragon?"

~
"Actually, you should have guessed which one it is." Dorothy smiled, and suddenly became vigilant, "Is there someone beside you?"

"Well, you are on the set, you continue to talk." Wang Quan held Deepika with one hand while chatting.

Dorothy briefly explained the data report of boxofficemojo, because the statistics are for the 2007 natural year, so the box office data is from 2007.1.1 to 2007.12.31.

Although "Juno" was a movie in 06, most of the box office was generated in 07, so the dragon headed up to achieve such a good result this time, mainly because of "Twilight", "The Hangover" and " The troika of Juno, and the three low-budget horror films of "The Purge", "Latent" and "Shadow Tooth", among which "Shadow Tooth" is almost negligible, and "The Man From Earth" didn't make it to theaters at all. .

No.1 is actually Paramount, occupying 15.5% of the market share, and Paramount's performance this year is mainly due to DreamWorks, because it sold itself to Paramount, and the films of DreamWorks were handed over to Paramount Distribution, if it weren't for the two 3 million-level films "Shrek [-]" and "Transformers" produced by DreamWorks, and two films with a box office of [-] million, the bottom six would be Paramount. The highest box office is just over [-] million, which is second-rate.

No.2 is Warner, with a market share of 13.9%. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is nearly 300 million. Movies, as well as the dark horse "[-] Warriors" also have a box office of over [-] million.

No.3 is Sony Columbia, with a market share of 12.8%. Last year they were No. 3, but this year has declined. The main focus is "Spider-Man 3.3". Although it won the annual crown of 2.6 million, the cost of [-] million is too high. Sony I plan to temporarily terminate the development of this series, and it happens that the actor doesn't want to play anymore.

No.4 is Disney, with a 12.5% ​​market share, featuring "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End" and "Ratatouille" (Ratatouille), one with [-] million and one with [-] million. The work of Pixar.

No.5 is Universal, with an 11.3% share. "Bourne", "Grown Belly", and "My Big Gay Wedding" all exceeded 2 million. Although "Fake God [-]" exceeded [-] million, it suffered serious losses. Second to the loss of "Golden Compass", and the lack of big IP is also a big lifeblood of Universal.

No.6 is the rise of the dragon, with a market share of 7.9%, which is 7% higher than that of No.0.2 Fox, which can be said to be a narrow victory.

These seven companies account for 80% of the market share in North America, and dozens of other companies share the remaining 20%.

Fox did not perform well this year. Only "The Simpsons" made more than 1 million yuan, "Die Hard" barely surpassed 3 million yuan, and No.2 was "Fantastic Four [-]", which was impacted by "Twilight" and finally won the North American box office. None of them exceeded [-] million.

But because it is a big company after all, and there are many films, it still saved some face by relying on the advantage of quantity.

Of course, No.7, lost to the new company Longshengtou, lost all face, what's the use of recovering that point.

On this day, Fox became the laughing stock of the entire Hollywood. Paramount said it was lucky that it bought DreamWorks, or else it would be the one who was ridiculed. The ridicule quickly spread from the United States to China.

"Friends, it's time to rediscuss the title of Hollywood Seven!" "

Tianya Forum, with this wave of enthusiasm, a post became popular.

The earliest were the Big Eight in Hollywood. In addition to the Big Six, there were also MGM and United Artists.

Later, United Artists sold itself to MGM, and MGM sold itself to Sony, but another DreamWorks emerged.

So eight in a while, six in a while, seven in a while, and with the sale of DreamWorks to Paramount in 06, it finally became the Hollywood Six.

"But I think the rise of the dragon means that Hollywood is about to revert to the Big Seven.

"Why do you say that, because this company is so fucking profitable. In 07, it released a total of six movies. Other big companies have at least a dozen movies, usually twenty or thirty. With just six movies, Dragon It overwhelmed Fox, and the box office ranked sixth in the year, which shows that the leader's vision is very strong, and a good leader is the key to a company's success!"

"Director Wang Quan is such a reliable leader. The company's successful films are either directed or edited by him. This is simply a god in the film industry!
"Some people may say that DreamWorks was also amazing at the time. Old Sizheng also made one film after another. Relying on three old men to make a living in Hollywood, he created the pattern of the Seven Greats, but in the end It's still Paramount. But I would say, it's different, it's really different.

"Don't forget, there is not only one director, King Quan, but also Boss Tao. Boss Tao is the daughter of a Jewish consortium. Today's Hollywood giants are backed by big consortia, so they have a high fault tolerance rate, even if they lose money. A few parts will not hurt the bones.

"What DreamWorks lacks is the support of the big consortium. Lao Si's creative ability has declined, and the company has begun to decline, but the Greenberg family of Boss Tao is on the top of the dragon. I believe that Director Wang and Boss Tao will eventually become a family. Sooner or later, the dragon will rise to the top seven and become a legend!"

I'm also pretty good: Damn, after watching it for a long time, it turns out that I'm a CP fan of Director Wang and Boss Tao. Hello, I am actually too!
Zhong Ping Wanfeng: I am a CP fan of Director Wang and Tianxian. Didn't they date a while ago?

I am pure and pure: Is there any mistake upstairs, the date of the three of us, don't we, Mimi, deserve to have a name?
Ansj: I think that Yang Mi is more like a cover for Director Wang and Tianxian to date. She is actually Director Wang's good sister.

Xiaobai who can't follow what he says: Second!
Zhisan Shao: Agree!

"I agree with your sister!" Yang Mi also saw this post, and she was quite excited at first. My brother Quan is going to rise completely, and he is going to achieve a hegemony in Hollywood, but later he is abducted to CP, and Concubine Liu Yi My fans choreographed me.

snort!If I had known that I should have raped Brother Quan that night, I would have boiled the raw rice until soft.

Then Yang Mi called Concubine Liu Yi and asked her what she was doing. Her fans made her angry and she had to make up for it.

"Oh, I'm attending the wedding. Sister Tao is married."

"Tao? Oh, you mean Liu Tao!" Yang Mi began to gossip, "I heard that he is a rich second generation who I just met not long ago. Is he handsome?"

"A normal person," Concubine Liu Yi lowered her voice, "I heard that she is two years younger than Sister Tao. After the [-]s, I really can't tell."

Yang Mi asked again, "You were the only one who went to your Tianlong crew, didn't Brother Hu Jun go?"

"No, I heard that he is practicing action scenes for "October Siege", but my good sister is here."

"If you want me to talk about Brother Jun's body and temperament, he is a master at that point. He doesn't need to practice at all. By the way, why don't you practice?" Yang Mi asked.

"My "King of Kung Fu" foundation is still there, and I don't need special practice."

"Then when will you join the group?" Yang Mi asked.

"I'm in February, how about you?"

"It's the end of February, I'll make a movie first this month," Yang Mi said meaningfully, "The heroine."

"Ah, Mimi, you are going to act in a movie, what type!" Concubine Liu Yi asked in surprise.

"Remember Crazy Stone." Yang Mi was very proud. "This movie is called "Crazy Supermarket". You know the concept."

Concubine Liu Yi likes "Crazy Stone" very much. When she heard Yang Mi say this, she thought it was Ning Hao's new work, and she immediately envied her, "Your crew must be very interesting. I'll go visit the set then, okay?"

"Ah, this, let's talk about this, the crew needs to keep it a secret." After Yang Mi pretended to be forceful, she was worried that Liu Yifei would see through her shabby nature of her ultra-small cost.

In fact, the cost is not particularly small. First, I bought the copyright from Kimchi Country, then invited Ning Hao as the producer, and authorized the title of "Crazy Supermarket". "The Stone" was promoted.

In addition, Yang Qing improved the script and added a few slightly larger scenes after knowing his shame, so the budget soared to 350 million, which was higher than "Double Food Tale" and "Crazy Stone".

As one of the producers, Yang Mi is currently casting actors. Xu Zheng must be the male lead, and there is also CP Xiao Gangya who is the female lead.

Wang Quan originally wanted to find Hu Ge. This guy will have a good future if he survives a catastrophe. Maybe he can flourish his own movie, which just makes up for the regret of not being able to cooperate with "Xiaoqian" before.

But it's a pity that Hu Ge took over the movie "Sword and Butterfly" and acted as Wu Zun's supporting role before going to play Ma Wen.

Yang Mi thought of her leading actor Ma Tianyu again. Their "Brilliant Legacy" is about to air, and the two of them have been on the show together recently.

As a result, he was about to shoot a TV series, "You Are My Dream" starring Wu Qilong, but he was not available either.

Yang Mi had an idea, didn't "Come on, Good Man" held a new session last year, Ma Tianyu, an old gangster, didn't act, so he went to see the freshly baked boys' juice.

So she found last year's top ten contestants on the Internet. Yang Mi took a fancy to No.8 at a glance. She looked dull and fit the character design she wanted.

Mumbai, King Quan has finally finished filming his childhood scenes, and now it's his turn to be a teenager.

He kept an eye on the date, seeing that it was almost there, so he called Heath Ledger, one of the actors in "Inception."

"I heard that you are getting investment for your directorial debut. It may not be easy. If you want to get the support of the dragon, please come to Mumbai to meet me immediately..."
