How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 573 [囧囧] is here, the mainland has officially entered the era of ten-digit box office

When Zhang Nan finished her guest appearance on the crew of "Thor 2" and returned to the filming location of "Voldemort 2" in the mainland.

[Chill] is being released in full swing.

It took in a box office of RMB 1535.5 million on the first day, and a box office of RMB 9263.4 million in the first four days.

For [Han Zhan], which cost only 40 million yuan, it is inevitable to recover the capital.

[Cold War] was also officially renamed [Cold War 1], and the preparation plan for [Chilling War 2] began.

It can be said that the director duo Lu and Liang became another hot director duo in the Hong Kong film and television circle after the duo of directors Liu and Mai thanks to this film "Chill 1".

Of course.

Since this film also has Zhang Nan's investment, it further consolidates Zhang Nan's influence in the mainland film and television industry.

……

mid-November.

Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. respectively finished their cameos in "Voldemort 2", and one of them will start to promote "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and the other will return to "Iron Man 3" The crew is reshooting some remaining footage.

"Depp, I'm concerned about the release schedule of [Pirates of the Caribbean 4]. I will talk to Warner and New Line at some time. If it is staggered with [The Hobbit 1], it shouldn't be a problem." Big, after all, [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] is still starring me, and [The Hobbit 1] will also be afraid."

Zhang Nan first said to Johnny Depp who was a little anxious that the movie was about to be released, and then turned to Robert Downey Jr. and said: "In December, when I go to attend [The Hobbit 1] and [Pirates of the Caribbean 4] , I will definitely make a cameo in [Iron Man 3]."

When the two of them saw Zhang Nan say this, they couldn't say anything else. They could only nod frequently and leave in silence.

After the two left, Zhang Nan's role in [Voldemort 2] was almost over.

Of course.

[Voldemort 2] still has many other scenes and plots that need to be shot by David Yates.

It is estimated that the finalization time will be around January of next year, and the movie will be released around the Christmas time of next year.

After all, although post-production special effects production is carried out simultaneously from the moment the computer is turned on, it will always take more time.

And for the [Harry Potter] series of movies, Warner Pictures is more superstitious about Christmas.

……

Late November.

The box office potential of "Cold War 1" has almost been redeemed. The total box office has reached more than 2.4 million yuan. It is estimated that when it is completely completed, it will exceed the 2.5 million yuan box office.

So the production cost of "Chilling 4000" was 1 million yuan, and the total profit was about million yuan. A % return rate can be said to be very good.

But at the same time, the mainland film and television industry is about to enter the hot New Year period.

But at this point in time.

Laopi Pictures, which had had conflicts between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping before, has completely resolved the conflict between Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping.

The couple broke up immediately, creating quite a sensation in the mainland entertainment industry.

After all, these two people once teamed up to create the first mainland blockbuster "Hero", and they have been leading the mainland blockbuster market for so many years.

The sudden breakup is indeed disappointing.

However, many people have already seen the signs of a breakup between Shuangzhang.

It's not because of anything else, but [Three Guns to Shoot the Crime Surprise] is too nonsense.

But this kind of news about a breakup between insiders did not last long because the majority of people who eat melons don't care much about this type of gossip. And at the end of November, Chinese Brothers Pictures and Feng Xiaogang also jointly launched their annual New Year film masterpiece-[1942].

……

Regarding the screening model of "1942", the Chinese also held a midnight screening before the premiere.

But the result at zero o'clock made Wang and Feng Xiaogang look a little ugly.

Because the total box office for the zero-hour show was only 101.69 million yuan.

Compared with the box office results of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, this result is definitely good, but for Feng Xiaogang, it is not enough, and at the same time, it also vaguely reflects a situation.

That is, mainland audiences still view Feng Xiaogang as a comedy director, and they don't quite buy into Feng Xiaogang's transformation.

"How could this happen? The theme of [Big Earthquake] was quite heavy at the time, and when it was released, the response was pretty good!" Feng Xiaogang was a little puzzled.

Regarding transformation, Feng Xiaogang naturally did not do it as soon as his brain warmed up or slapped his hands, but step by step.

From "Assembly", he started to break away from comedy, then to the serious theme of "The Great Earthquake", and finally to the current "1942", he has come through step by step successfully. Feng Xiaogang feels that he is not about to make a mistake, and he is not in a hurry.

But now [1942]'s zero-hour box office shows that the audience doesn't buy it.

Feng Xiaogang was puzzled.

The big and small kings were also a little confused.

But the reason is actually very simple.

Sometimes the thinking is wrong, and no matter how we follow the path, it will be useless.

At first, the audience didn't go to see Feng Xiaogang's movies because they liked to watch educational movies, but because they liked watching comedy movies, they gradually got to know Feng Xiaogang's 'brand'.

Maybe in a short period of time, due to past impressions and some boos, the audience will continue to pursue Feng Xiaogang's movies, but when Feng Xiaogang's taste becomes more and more sour, it is natural not to buy it.

……

The box office was RMB 2555.48 million on the first day and RMB 1.37 million in the first week.

The box office of "1942" can be said to be quite impressive, but these box office results seem a bit inadequate given its cost of 200 million yuan.

Because the current reputation of the movie "1942" has begun to decline.

Of course.

[1942] If the situation here is compared with [The King's Feast], it is still very good.

The box office was RMB 819.2 million on the first day and US$3986.4 million in the first week.

Based on the cost of "The King's Feast" of 100 million yuan, this kind of achievement can basically be said to be a planned ending with a loss of blood.

Then Zhang Nan did not hesitate and directly recommended "Thailand" to have a strong premiere on the Friday following the release of "1942" and "The King's Feast".

At first, not many people paid attention to Xu Zheng’s [Thailand].

Even when "囧囧" made a box office of 3871.5 million yuan on its first day, many people didn't pay much attention and just thought it was another "Chilling 1" selected by Zhang Nan.

But slowly, the situation started to go wrong.

The box office on the first day was 3871.5 million yuan. On the second day, the box office dropped slightly, and the box office hit another 3909.3 million yuan. On the third day, it caught up with Friday and hit another 5379.24 million yuan.

Then on Saturday and Sunday, the box office of "囧囧" exploded.
