How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 371 [Wuji]: No one can understand me in ten years

12 month 14 day.

Just when [The Chronicles of Narnia 1] caught [Harry Potter 4], which had been released for many weeks, and beat it up.

Peter Jackson is here with his [King Kong].

He has the main trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings", plus the directorial resume of "The Lord of the Rings - Sauron 1", and the film "King Kong" is also a classic old film. The contrast between beauty and beast in it is more CP. It captures the curiosity of some people.

So when it was first released, [King Kong] had a lot of publicity.

But when the box office results came out on the first day, the results were shocking.

$975.5.

[King Kong] didn’t even reach [-] million US dollars at the box office on its first day.

Of course, this is also caused by the fact that the first day of release of "King Kong" was chosen on Wednesday, which is neither good nor bad.

But the main reason is because movies like "King Kong" are more booing, but fewer people can accept it.

But this is normal.

After all, if the contrasting CP theme is really strong enough, it won’t become a novelty.

Don't you see, even Neon's love action movies, which cost less than tens of thousands of dollars and can easily pay for themselves, don't dare to work more on this kind of subject. They just make a perfunctory one in order to expand their own film library. Two movies, no more filming.

Because this kind of movie is really exciting to watch, but not many people can buy it.

But fortunately, when the time came to the three-day weekend, relying on Peter Jackson's fame, the box office of "King Kong" still increased.

Friday’s USD 1446.8 million, Saturday’s USD 2010.5 million, and Sunday’s USD 1555.6 million.

Including the box office on Thursday and Wednesday, "King Kong" grossed US$6617.9 million in its first week.

It poses a sufficient threat to [Harry Potter 1], which is already weak and has had a real battle with [The Chronicles of Narnia 4].

It is a bit embarrassing that [Harry Potter 4]'s road to a global box office of one billion US dollars is completely cut off, and it even hits a global box office of [-] million US dollars.

Under such circumstances, Warner Pictures finally made up its mind and began serious discussions with Zhang Nan through Longbow Films on the cooperation of the [Harry Potter-Voldemort] derivative film.
-
If we talk about the North American Christmas season, it is a melee between [Harry Potter 4] and [The Chronicles of Narnia 1] and [King Kong].

So this kind of melee is already a show that is released in North American movie theaters every year, which makes people feel indifferent.

In 2005, the Mainland Lunar New Year Festival staged a wonderful show.

The protagonist of this drama is Chen Wuji’s [Wuji].

12 month 15 day.

"The Promise" was released in mainland China the day after the North American premiere of "King Kong".

With an investment of [-] million yuan, China Film Group has invested [-] million yuan, so the premiere will naturally not be shabby.

All in all, the premiere of [The Promise] was lively and star-studded.

Celebrities from the Mainland, Xiangjiang, Wanwan...all have received invitations.

In the screening room, Chen Wuji stood in front of the stage, looking high-spirited and arrogant.

In a short speech before the screening, Chen Wuji was stunned to break down three key points, twelve small points, and 32 points of attention, which lasted for more than an hour.

That is to say, the artists who can join the entertainment industry these days, although their cultural level is not online, is still much better than the artists of later generations who can't even understand the quadratic equation and the elementary school problems of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. One chip.

But despite this, many artists were also stunned by Chen Wuji's words.

I had great expectations for [Wuji] in my confusion.

Then - I was dizzy before watching the movie, and after watching the movie, the dizziness became more serious.

When the movie ended, most people were confused.

I really want to know what these photos are about.

But in the end, the flattering words were given in a routine manner.

However, the guests who came to attend the movie premiere were able to take advantage of Chen Wuji's long-standing reputation and give him some kind words.

But the audience who spent money and bought tickets are not used to Chen Wuji at all.

That night, the verbal and written criticism of [Wuji] on the Internet had already begun to surge.

But today's Internet is underdeveloped, and current mainland audiences are not very familiar with the operation of trailers as the essence of the entire movie.

Therefore, on the first day of the release of "The Promise", there were still many ignorant viewers who were deceived by Chen Wuji and robbed of their money, and were disgusted.

It also brought the first-day box office of "The Promise" to 2115 million yuan.

This result is already very good for the mainland film market at this time.

At the end of its first four days, "The Promise" has grossed RMB 7452 million at the box office.

This result is already tens of thousands higher than the first-week box office of more than 6200 million yuan for "Hero".

Chen Wuji was so excited that he almost set off firecrackers at home. However, Chen Wuji controlled this impulse and began to discuss Zhang Yimou's "Hero" and "Ambush from Flying Daggers" from multiple angles in the media. of cynicism.

But while the box office of "The Promise" was pushed to more than 7000 million in the first four days, the reputation of "The Promise" began to collapse.

The specific manifestation is that the box office of "The Promise" dropped sharply in the second week, and all kinds of abuses appeared one after another in the media.

Chen Wuji felt that someone was jealous of him and was stumbling upon him, which made him feel suffocated because he couldn't really confront these people.

But as an online video clip titled "A Murderous Case Caused by a Full Head" became popular, Chen Wuji could no longer hold back his anger.

Then Chen Wuji made a statement in the media with a sad and angry tone: In ten years, no one will be able to understand [Wuji].

The purpose is very pure. I want to increase the box office of [The Promise] through a wave of mysterious operations.

But the result~
The box office of "The Promise" did not increase much, but the click-through rate of "A Murderous Case Caused by a Full Head" increased dramatically, allowing the video producers to make a lot of money.

Chen Wuji couldn't bear this situation. He was immediately attacked by a wave of lawyers' letters and caused quite a stir.

But it had no good impact on the box office of [The Promise].

And at this time, "The Great Sage" with pure Xiangjiang blood was released.

To be honest, in terms of quality, [Erotic Monkey King] cannot be said to be very good, but at least it is barely qualified.

And compared with [Wuji], [Erotic Monkey King] at least has a scene where the Golden Cudgel transforms into a Gundam!

It was at this time that the position of chief director of the 2008 Olympic Games was taken over by Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou didn't say anything, but Zhang Weiping from Laopi Pictures couldn't help it, and took the opportunity to start counterattacking against Chen Wuji's previous cynicism.

all in all.

During this Lunar New Year period, Chen Wuji completely ruined the box office appeal he had accumulated over the years with [Wuji].

Then [Erotic Monkey King] took the opportunity to cash in on the roving box office gathered by [Wuji].

Zhang Yimou relied on his reputation as the chief director of the opening ceremony to offset the negative impact he had caused by "Ambush from Flying Daggers".
