China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 633 The final box office of "Huan Tai" and the most poisonous heart of Sissi [two-in-one]

As "Pacific Rim" was released one after another overseas and won first-week box office championships, the film became the darling of the media around the world, reporting on it, and even the words "Chinese-language film" appeared frequently around the world. Media reports from various places.

"Director Sun Yi from China has used a shocking "Pacific Rim" to prove that science fiction blockbusters are not limited to Hollywood, but at the same time, it also has to make us reflect. Art films are indeed a consistent tradition in Europe, but in movies Today, with the rapid development of technology, are we already lagging behind?”

European media have begun to reflect on the balance between literary and commercial films.

In North America, truck driver James Cameron commented on Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim" in an interview with reporters.

"It's a great movie. I'm very happy that someone can move forward in the development of film technology. As far as I know, Sun is a very young director. If there is an opportunity, I very much look forward to meeting him to discuss future movies. technology."

Unlike the truck driver's generous response, the media in Bangzi Country were generally sour.

"Why can't our director make such a movie? These people in Zhongmulu should reflect on themselves."

"There is conclusive evidence that the world-renowned director Sun Yi is half Korean. Therefore, this "Pacific Rim" is also a movie for us Koreans!"

Korean descent?
Sun Yi smiled knowingly when he saw various overseas news coming back to China.

I really don't like talking to them.

Counting eight generations above me, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang. What does it have to do with them?

It's just that the movie fans over there are still contributing to their box office revenue and don't want to talk to them.

On the contrary, Sun Yi paid more attention to the situation on Hong Kong Island this time.

Speaking of which, it's quite a slap in the face.

When "Pacific Rim" was released, the group of Hong Kong filmmakers who had been clamoring to reject Sun Yi made loud noises again, calling on Hong Kong movie fans to boycott the film.

But in fact, no one cares about them at all.

When the movie was first released on Hong Kong Island, due to various reasons, there was indeed not much publicity. However, the entire Hong Kong Island is only a big place, and word-of-mouth from fans was enough to establish the movie's reputation.

And as a large number of movie fans were attracted into the theater, the whole scene was like a virus spreading, and it was out of control.

This reporter went to any theater to interview, and every theater for "Pacific Rim" was packed with seats.

While watching the movie, the words "Monkey Sai Lei!" and "It's so pretty!" kept coming from my ears.

When the local box office data on Hong Kong Island came out, the filmmakers were all blinded.

After only two weeks of release, the box office exceeded HK$5000 million, directly entering the top ten Chinese-language film box office rankings in Hong Kong Island. It is completely treated like a Hollywood blockbuster.

Mr. Ping Wu Qi Gu loved the movie "Pacific Rim" so much that he told the media many times that he had watched it for the second and third time. He even posted a post on Weibo without any scruples asking if the movie was available. For the sequel, could he be considered for a supporting role?

Look at that humbleness.

But in fact, many people don’t know that apart from blatantly sunbathing and secretly donating to schools, Mr. Gu is also a real mecha fan.

From the release of the second part of "Iron Man", he had everything from Mark 1 to Mark 4 in his home, and there was also one that was one of the props used by the crew at that time, which shows how obsessed he is with mechas. .

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to spend five years tinkering with a science fiction mecha movie later.

Sun Yi also interacted with Mr. Gu on Weibo and promised that as soon as the filming of the next movie starts, it will be arranged.

Back in China, just when "Pacific Rim" was becoming famous, other movies at the same time were unlucky.

Among them, Huayi's "Tangshan Earthquake" suffered the greatest losses.

Beijing, Huayi.

"How much is the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" now?"

Wang Zhongjun asked Wang Zhonglei in a voice that was almost a growl.

The latter was so nervous that it took him a long time to spit out a number.

"Two, a little over two hundred million, uh no, almost three hundred million."

Wang Zhongjun's eyes widened, "How much is it?"

"Two, two hundred and forty million."

"Two hundred and forty million, how did you round it up to three hundred million?"

Wang Zhongjun looked angry.

No wonder he was angry. "Tangshan Earthquake" was released only one day later than Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim". It can be said that it is ahead of the game and behind.

All under the banner of special effects blockbusters, "Tangshan Earthquake" has an extra layer of emotion.

But after the box office results came out, the treatment of the two films was very different.

In the same 4 weeks since its release, the box office revenue of "Bad Pacific" has exceeded 9 million, and there are still nearly million new box office receipts every day.

With more than a week left before the actual screening, it is certain that the final total box office will exceed 1 billion.

I heard that Starry Sky is already preparing a celebration party for the box office to exceed one billion.

You know, this is the first movie in the history of Chinese movies to have a box office of more than 1 billion, which is very memorable.

The only question is whether the final box office results can break the 13 billion box office record set by "Avatar" during the postponed screening period.

On the other hand, look at "Tangshan Earthquake".

When the movie was released, the publicity was equally overwhelming and varied.

Director Feng even personally took part in the film promotion and made a bold statement.

It is predicted that the box office of the movie will never be less than 5 million. This is what he said at the time.

"Everything I film has box office success. I have no choice but who can surpass me? I am particularly lonely and begging for defeat now."

But looking at it now, let alone 5 million, 3 million is still a lot of effort.

The entire Chinese film market was wiped out by the siphon effect caused by "Pacific Rim", which took away most of the box office. No one was spared.

But in the final analysis, the quality of the movie is still not good.

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

Feng Xiaogang's treatment of "Tangshan Earthquake" did not put the core of the story on the earthquake itself at all, but instead placed the film's story on the aftershocks in the hearts of a family.

A separated family and several relatives whose shadow has not receded for many years.

It’s no problem to shoot like this. It can be viewed as a feature film.

But don’t give the movie the title of a visual effects blockbuster.

There is a relatively shocking earthquake scene in the first 7 minutes of the whole movie. Watching it on an IMAX giant screen is indeed shocking, but for the remaining more than minutes, watching it on a ten-inch netbook has no impact at all.

Even putting this aside, the movie has lost its focus on the story of the theme.

Too much pursuit and sensationalism.

It's as if Director Feng is constantly trying to impress the audience.

I made you laugh back then, but this time I will make you cry!

The tragic earthquake scene, the life and death chase, the characters in the film will shed tears and burst into tears at every turn, just hoping that the audience will be affected too.

Too much is not enough~
Of course, if it weren't for Sun Yi's "Pacific Rim", "Tangshan Earthquake" would still be worth watching.

But the most fearful thing in this world is to compare yourself with others.

There will always be times when you can't compare.

Just like this time, Huayi clearly fell into the hands of Sun Yi.

"Brother, this, this Sun Yi is a bit evil. The production cost of our "Tangshan" alone is 1 million, and we are going to lose money at the box office right now."

"What are you afraid of? There is also 6000 million from the local government."

"Brother, this is government money, so it's not good."

Wang Zhonglei is quite lacking in confidence. When he wanted to shoot this movie in Tangshan, he used his connections to lobby local leaders and got an investment of 6000 million yuan. At that time, he had a guarantee that he would never lose money, but now...
"Film investment. Investment! Do you understand, this is a business behavior, and there are risks when investing."

Wang Zhongjun said angrily.

Then he rubbed his forehead with both hands. After a while, he sighed and rearranged:

"Forget it, find a way to settle the account, take out the money from other investors, protect their capital, and delay the time."

"Okay." Wang Zhonglei nodded, then rolled his eyes twice and said softly:
"Brother, how about we make peace with Sun Yi? We can't do this all the time. It's not a big grudge."

But Wang Zhongjun's look made him shut his mouth, and he became completely silent.

Obviously, Huayi doesn't want to admit defeat yet.

At the end of August, "Pacific Rim" ended its screening in North America.

It was released for five weeks, with a total box office of US$2 million. It entered the 2010 annual list in North America, ranking seventh.

This is an unprecedented achievement for Chinese-language films.

Some people may say that Sun Yi's first "Shelter" also had a high box office, almost earning 2 million US dollars.

Yes, that's right.

But the nature of the two films is completely different. Although "Shelter" also stars Liu Yifei, it is an out-and-out Hollywood local film. It is nothing more than that the heroine is Liu Yifei, an Oriental star, and the whole film is It has original English dialogue, so it can’t be considered a Chinese-language movie.

North American movie fans view it as just a movie using foreign actors.

And its sequel "Pacific Rim", even though it was later added with the original English pronunciation, 70% of the characters in the film are Chinese and all speak Chinese, making it a thoroughly Chinese film. .

For North American moviegoers, this is a foreign film, or in our words, a translated film.

Therefore, for a foreign film to enter the top ten in North America's annual box office list, even if the year has not yet passed, it is still shocking enough.

When the news spread back to China, there was another wave of hype, attracting more people to the theater.

With only a few days left in the regular screening period, the box office suddenly experienced another wave of upward growth. On the 28th day after the movie was released, the box office officially exceeded one billion.

At this point, although no one in the industry has said it clearly, everyone already knows that Sun Yi has officially entered the industry at the age of less than 25 and occupies the top spot among domestic commercial film directors, and he is the only one of his kind.

September in Beijing.

The midsummer sun scorches the clouds, the air becomes hot and distorted, and the cicadas outside the window keep chirping, piercing the eardrums and making people irritated.

"Ah~ I can't stand it anymore, I want to turn on the air conditioner!!!"

"Whatever you want, think about what I told you before. When you get old and feel uncomfortable, don't say I didn't remind you."

"Humph!"

Liu Yifei was sitting on the sofa, her mouth bulging and she was competing with the air conditioner remote control in front of her.

To open it or not to open it!
After glancing towards the study room where Sun Yi was, Liu Yifei gritted her teeth and pressed the phone on, but the next second, she turned it off again.

"Whoo~"

Liu Yifei curled her lips, threw the remote control aside in annoyance, and began to think silently in her heart.

The mind is calm and naturally cool, and the mood is naturally cool~~~
Speaking of which, it was not that Sun Yi was stingy and was not willing to pay the small electricity bill for the air conditioner, but that Xiao Nizi had just gotten sick.

The box office of "Pacific Rim" exceeded 1 billion, and Xingkong was preparing for a celebration party. Sun Yi was busy refining the script, and he had already decided to collaborate with the movie star on their next love movie.

At the same time, when I had to deal with the Sissi Garden Animation Studio, I was a bit overwhelmed.

As for Yang Fan, the overseas box office share of a movie has already made his head as big as an ox, and he has no energy.

You know, this is the first time that Starry Sky has been released simultaneously all over the world. After the movie is released, it is the first step. Getting the money back is the most critical. Therefore, Yang Fan does not have time.

This celebration was of great significance, and Sun Yi would be a little uneasy if it was all handled by his subordinates.

At this time, Liu Yifei volunteered to stand up.

He patted his chest with his little hand, then trembled and said to himself: "Leave it to me."

After Sun Yi nodded in agreement, Liu Yifei was really busy up and down for several days.

Not to mention the specific results of her work, because she hasn't seen it yet, she has a slight problem with her body.

I have a cold, my nose is dirty, and my whole body is sore, sore to the point where my bones are seared.

When I went to the hospital, all the traditional Chinese and Western doctors were examined and they concluded that the heat caused by the air conditioner caused me to catch a cold and that my body was heavy with moisture.

It turns out that Xiao Nizi frequently visits company venues these days. One moment there is a cool breeze from the air conditioner, and the next moment the sun is scorching. In addition, when she was running for promotions, she was in an air-conditioned hotel room every day, which affected her body to some extent.

This outburst really made her uncomfortable for several days.

Now that she was recovering from her illness, she was extremely hot again.

But Sun Yi specifically told her not to turn on the air conditioner during this period, otherwise she would suffer a lot when she gets older.

Old man!
Liu Yifei slandered Sun Yi in her heart, and then browsed the news on the Internet out of boredom.

Suddenly, when she saw a piece of news, Xiao Nizi rolled her eyes and immediately walked towards the study.

"Brother, eat watermelon. It's iced. It's delicious."

Sun Yi was sitting in front of the computer revising the script. He was not focused on anything else, but suddenly a pair of long white legs came into view, which made him tremble.

Xiao Nizi is becoming more and more unrestrained at home now. She is wearing a big loose T-shirt all over her body, wearing nothing but her little fat.

With his bare white thighs and no underwear on, he didn't take him as a male seriously at all.

Sun Yi swallowed secretly, looked straight away, and said calmly:

"Put it on the table. I'll eat it later."

"Then I'll feed you, open your mouth, ah~~~"

"It's delicious, but it's cool."

"Yeah, thank you, wife."

"hey-hey."

After being fed two pieces of watermelon by Xiao Nizi, Sun Yi continued to work on the computer. But while he was busy, he noticed something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Nizi sitting happily on the side with her legs crossed. Ah, enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner in his room.

"You came in as an excuse to blow on the air conditioner."

"What, no, I, I mainly stay with you."

"Liu Qianqian, do you know that when you lie, it's very obvious? Oh, yes, don't move your fingers, otherwise the secret will be exposed."

"Oh, you hate it!" Liu Yifei looked dissatisfied.

"Why can you blow, but I can't?"

"Oh, because I'm in good health and haven't gotten sick. The doctor took my pulse and said I had a strong yang energy, but you can't."

Sun Yi raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Yifei with some contempt.

Of course Liu Yifei was not convinced and immediately retorted:

"Tch, blow it, blow it, let you blow it, do you look at those old men and women in Chaoyang Park downstairs?"

Sun Yi raised the corner of his mouth and asked:
"what happened?"

Liu Yifei stood up with an unhappy face, walked with her long legs, turned back while walking, and scratched Sun Yi fiercely with her small eyes.

"When you get old, I will push a wheelchair for you, and then let you watch me dance with other old men!!!"

"Let me go, Liu Qianqian, you are too poisonous!"
