How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 729 [Grand Trace] [Operation Mekong River]

"Youth - So You're Still Here" with a box office of 3.36 million yuan, "Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li" with a box office of 1.91 million yuan, "Legend of the Gods" with a box office of 2.83 million yuan, and "Tomb Raiders" with a box office of 10.03 billion yuan.

The successive release of these four films can be said to have interrupted the good box office trend of "Bounty Hunter" and seized the box office market of the mainland movie market in July and August.

Just when we wanted to continue to copy this successful path with the subsequent [Apostle Walker], [Dangerous City], and [A Slight Smile is Alluring], and spent a lot of money to promote it.

The emergence of a breaking news directly disrupted the plans of the producers behind these movies.

……

Early in the morning of June 8.

In the past year, he has appeared in four movies in a row: "Running Brother", "Unbelievable", "Taoist Down the Mountain" and "Detective Chinatown", and three of them were quite popular. Starring Wang Baobao, expressed himself on the Internet Divorce Statement.

Tell the truth.

Originally this kind of thing was no big deal.

Public opinion was in an uproar.

Let’s put it this way!

Longbow Film and Television City.

"What does this have to do with me being a foreigner? Anyone would be interested in this kind of news, okay? And the Hollywood side is indeed much more turbulent than yours, but the tastes are still a little different after all." Lao Lu K replied.

On September 9th alone, four movies including "Anti-Corruption Storm 14", "Westward Journey 2", "July and Ansheng" and "The Chaser" were released at the same time.

Zhang Nan was speechless.

……

But after what happened to Baby Wang, what else will he have to eat? What to sleep on? What work? What Olympic medal rankings are you scanning?
Ninety-nine percent of the melon-eating people in the mainland have focused on the latest progress of the Wang Baobao incident.

"Luke, you are a foreigner, and you have experienced great storms in Hollywood. Are you also interested in this kind of news?" Zhang Nan asked with some curiosity.

But it was a bit too miserable this time to be unable to hold Baobao Wang off. He was killed by his manager and his wife together, and it ended in a loss of both human and financial resources.

After filming another set of scenes, Zhang Nan walked down from the set and found Old Luke holding his cell phone, scrolling through the latest updates on the Wang Baobao incident.

After all, there are too many divorces in the entertainment industry. Whether it is divorce caused by the man's fault or divorce caused by the woman's fault, there are countless divorces.

Then the movies that had been postponed due to this incident collectively launched a charge.

Among them, the one with the highest box office is "Westward Journey 3" with 3.65 million yuan. It is also blessed by Zhou Xingxing's "Westward Journey" IP. Many people went to watch it with the intention of giving it a try.

Zhang Nan's role in "Transformers 4" has finally been completed. At the same time, the incident involving Baby Wang has been fermenting for more than a month, and has finally calmed down a lot.

And to what extent was the public outcry?

……

2016 is actually the year of the Olympics, and it's only in August. Without Baby Wang, everyone's life is basically eating, sleeping, working, and glancing at the Olympic medal rankings.

mid-September.

For a while.

Maybe it’s because all the schools started in September, or maybe there are too many competitors, so this batch of four films failed to replicate the success of the previous batch of films.

……

end of September.

Li Jiaxin, who had been loading for nine months, finally unloaded the goods. And the result of this unloading can be regarded as fulfilling one of Li Jiaxin's obsessions - this time the goods are handled.

"What name should I choose? This is the eighth in the list." Zhang Nan said a little distressed.

Li Jiaxin, who was lying on the bed, didn't pay attention at all and just looked at her son.

……

9 month 30 day.

After last year's "Tiny Times 4" did not perform well at the box office and was even inferior to "Tiny Times 3", writer Xiao Guo made some painful reflections.

The reason why the movie failed at the box office.

It was attributed to the fact that the schedule in July was not very good, and after a tough fight with senior Chen Wuji's "Taoist Descending the Mountain", it was picked up by "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", "Monster Hunt" and "Pancake Man". If there is a leak, otherwise it will be him who has a box office of over one billion yuan or two billion yuan.

So this time, writer Xiao Guo chose to adjust the release time of his new work "Grand Records" to the end of September, aiming to coincide with the National Day holiday of the seven-day holiday.

From the change in the name, it can be seen that this wave of Xiao Guo writers no longer make films about showing off their wealth, but instead make films about showing off their wealth and fantasy.

Also released at the same time as "Grand Records" is "Ace Doing Ace" directed by Wang Jin and starring Huang Jiaozhu.

and Bernard Films invested in the military film "Operation Mekong" directed by Hong Kong's new director Lam Chiu-hsien.

[Ace teases Ace] Needless to say, Wang Jin saw the box office success of last year’s National Day release [Hong Kong 囧] and [Charlotte Trouble], and came up with a wave of follow-up works, trying to copy the wave of [Hong Kong 囧] and [Charlotte Trouble]. The success of Charlotte's Trouble.

And "Operation Mekong" is Bernard Pictures' attempt to test and please the mainland market.

It can be said that among the three films, the least optimistic one is "Operation Mekong".

But after the release, the situation was completely opposite.

[Jueji] is not bad here, the fans of writers Xiao Guo are relatively high, so [Jueji] took in a box office of 5872.4 million yuan on the first day, and a box office of 1.97 million yuan in the first three days. .

It's just that the single-day box office decline rate is much faster than that of "Tiny Times 1.2.3", which is a collapse visible to the naked eye.

By the end of the next week's screening, the single-day box office of "Grand Records" had dropped to less than 10 million yuan, and this was still on non-working days like Saturday and Sunday.

There is no doubt that the box office of this wave of "Grand Journey" is probably not as good as that of "Tiny Times 4".

But this is also normal.

After all, the reason why the top fans of Writer Xiao Guo love Writer Xiao Guo is because of the bottomless and violent plots in Writer Xiao Guo's novels and movies.

As for the pretentious plot...

The veteran Chen Wuji's attainments in this area are much better than those of Xiao Guo. If you want to read it, there is a play called "The Promise" that is a reference to Shakespeare's classic play "Hamlet". I could study it for ten years and still not be able to figure it out. No. The only difference between this one and The Lord of the Rings is "Lord of the Rings".

But [Ace Teases Ace] here is a complete crotch stretch.

The box office was RMB 2284.5 million on the first day and RMB 1.07 million in the first week.

Judging from this box office curve, the final box office of "Ace Dou Ace" will be around 2.5 million yuan.

However, Wang Jin has always made movies quickly, cheaply and poorly, so the whole movie "Ace Funny" probably can't be said to be a loss.

However, [Operation Mekong] did not have a great box office on the first day, not even 3897.1 million yuan, only 1.65 million yuan in box office. In the end, it achieved a box office of million yuan in the first three days.

Moreover, the single-day box office of [Operation Mekong] in the second week directly ushered in four consecutive days of box office decline. If the first weekend is included, it was five consecutive days of box office decline.
