China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 242 Box office, scheduled

"Earthquake" has been heavily promoted in the past few days, just to take advantage of the gap between China and the United States in "The Witch" to gain more box office. Later, it will be difficult for one company to dominate.

"Believe that kindness has power!"

"How our hearts are set!"

The publicity started with emotion and reason. Anyway, it was just to get people into the cinema.

"The Witch" only held a simple press conference and did not hold a premiere.

Fans of Liu Yifei have been waiting for it to be released in China for a long time. Various positive reviews from abroad have already been received. As loyal fans, how could they miss this movie.

"Mr. Li, the film schedule of "The Witch" has reached 31%, and "Earthquake" has dropped back to 33%." Lu Yu was reporting on the film schedule of domestic theaters.

With official support, "Earthquake"'s short-term film schedule is still higher than "The Witch".

However, among the theaters owned by Mengying, "The Witch" must have the highest film schedule.

Wanda's Jingtian's "My Beautiful Boss", although not as good as "Earthquake" and "The Witch", still accounts for a lot of the film schedule.

Jingtian, who is relatively new to the industry, also showed his face.

Many people know that she is favored by the resource side, and they are very envious of her, but there is nothing they can do about it.

The box office of "My Beautiful Boss" on the first day was more than 200 million, a very embarrassing result.

According to the response of major theaters, the attendance rate of "The Witch" is very good. Although it is not as good as the first "Earthquake", it is still phenomenal this year.

Before the first-day box office figures were released, news spread that "The Orphan of Zhao" had finished filming.

Chen Kaige's latest work, which has attracted much attention since the day it was launched, completed the last scene on the magnificent Bashang Grassland at Yudaokou, Chengde. The exciting cavalry battle was successfully completed.

"See you in the Lunar New Year!" were the slogans.

Jiang Wen took advantage of the situation and released the trailer of "Let the Bullets Fly", marking the first shot of the New Year.

The 2010 Lunar New Year holiday is known as the "most tragic in history" because many of the works that may be released at the end of the year include Jiang Wen, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Jiawei and other top-notch directors in the Chinese film industry. There will be an unprecedented event. The blockbuster blowout event.

Many netizens have persuaded Zhang Yimou and Li Mu to join the battlefield and start the "Six Nations Melee".

It's no big deal to watch the excitement, that's probably it.

The WTO ruling also came down in early August.

Following the ruling of the World Trade Organization, China further opened its entertainment product market to the United States before March 2011, 3, and the game between the two countries began again.

According to outside analysis, as March 2011, 3 approaches, more foreign film companies will be able to distribute films directly to cinemas in China, bypassing the China Film Group Corporation, which has a monopoly on import rights in the field of film distribution.

This analysis shocked many film companies in the industry. It has little impact on blockbusters, and everyone will subconsciously avoid each other.

However, this squeezes out the market space of small and medium-sized films.

Many small and medium-sized film companies in the industry inevitably cried out.

"Director Han, why don't you come forward to cheer everyone up?"

China Film Group has not yet commented on this, and Li Mu also wants to know what Han Sanping is thinking now.

"Let it be whatever it is. Domestic films must have confidence."

Han Sanping didn't take it seriously. He had already done what he had to do. Gradually letting go was the general trend. He could only stop it with troops.

Li Mu smiled, this was also Han Sanping's style.

"Don't laugh, you and your Mengying are the main force of the resistance!"

"."

After watching "The Witch" online, comments were posted one after another, and the number of comments on major movie forums increased rapidly.

"I can't believe this contrast. Is this Liu Yifei?"

"It's so handsome. The villain was so awesome in the front, but in the end he pinched a little ant!"

"Don't grow your hair long in the future. This is the length. It's so cool. Please continue to make action movies!"

Liu Yifei watched the comments from domestic audiences with great interest. She was much more excited than watching the comments from fans in the United States.

The media mostly praised it. As a popcorn movie, this one is definitely qualified.

""The Witch", the king of contrast, is shocking!"

""The Witch": The heroine has great action and drama. Who says women are inferior to men!"

There are also yin and yang strange sounds. Even though "The Witch" has been processed, there are still some bloody action scenes.

"The status of a great director is different. Bloody selling points can also be released."

"Can an ordinary director make this movie and release it without cutting it into pieces? I'm dreaming."

The source of these news, Li Mu, also knew that some ordinary directors in the industry would always complain about the General Administration not being able to film this or that, as if they could make earth-shattering movies if they were given permission.

Li Mu ignored these.

Liu Weijuan, on the other hand, was not as relaxed as Li Mu and silently wrote down these people. Anyway, when investing abroad, these people's films were not within Mengying's investment scope.

The first-day box office of "The Witch" was more than 2500 million, which was not as good as the first-day box office of "Earthquake". However, among domestic heroine-type movies, this movie topped the list.

Huayi.

"Director Wang, due to the influence of "The Witch", "The Great Earthquake" has dropped to less than 2000 million!" Wang Zhongjun listened to the people below reporting the data of "The Great Earthquake".

"Okay, got it, let's go out."

Wang Zhonglei watched the reporter close the door and then said, "Brother, fortunately we have stepped up our publicity efforts, otherwise the box office might be really in danger."

"Well, "Earthquake" still has some staying power. It should be more sensational in its promotion."

"understood!"

The next day, "The Witch" reported 2650 million!
On the third day, 2570 million!
This rising rate is likely to directly exceed 3 million.

"Big Earthquake" has been hovering between 1500 and 1800 million in the past few days, with a revenue of 4.3 million.

However, Jingtian's "My Beautiful Boss" grossed more than RMB 600 million in its first week, but was squeezed between two movies, leaving no room for survival.

"It has also taken off in China! After this movie, few domestic actresses of the two generations can compare."

“Except for the prize, I really didn’t lose anyone!”

When people in the circle talked about it, they couldn't help but express envy in their words.

"I have gained a few more luxury endorsements." Liu Yifei proudly said to Li Mu.

Li Mu rolled his eyes at her and said, "You can't take them all. Besides, you don't want to take them all."

There is competition among high-end luxury brands.

"Why don't you praise me?"

"Okay, okay, awesome, awesome!"

"."

"The Witch" is still surging at the box office, taking over the baton from "Earthquake".

Major film companies are so envious that they have launched new film projects one after another.

Real estate developers and coal bosses are also throwing money at the film and television industry like crazy.

In this case, Southern Metropolis Daily made a statistics on the films approved this year and then published a report.

"N-twins appear in many domestic films, and car crash themes frequently appear!"

Netizens were very curious. When they clicked in to take a look, they were all surprised by the N twins who had signed up for the project!
Good guys, 4 Guan Yunchangs, 4 Sun Wukongs, 3 tables of Hongmen Banquet, 2 sets of Cai Li Fo Quan, 2 Bruce Lees, 2 Fengshen List, and 2 White Snakes.Take Guan Yunchang as an example, the investment in Part 4 is quite large.

Donnie Yen's "Guan Yunchang", Sun Honglei's "Guan Gong", Yang Zi Investment's "Wu Sheng Yunchang", Louis Koo's "The Legend of Wu Shen".

"Is this vicious competition?"

"Can the photos be taken well? They won't be too similar!"

"I'm drunk. One movie is enough. Give me four. How much money do I have?"

"."

In response to this situation, major companies can only smile bitterly.

"Don't these people have any more movies to make?"

Lu Yang discussed with Li Mu in Tiancai that the car crash was too outrageous. Wouldn't the audience be visually fatigued if it was shot like this?

"Domestic accumulation is not enough. It is a consistent way to learn from classical culture and make it familiar to the audience!"

Li Mu doesn't have much feeling. In the process of any industry, there will be a large number of relatively similar links. This is the inevitable path for the national film industrialization.

"The final stage of "Xiuchundao" is coming soon. Do you plan to release it this year?" Li Mu raised his head and looked at Lu Yang, who was still staring at the screen.

"It can be done within the year, but there are too many blockbusters coming up, so we might as well release it early next year."

The National Day schedules from September to October include commercial blockbusters such as "Inception", "Detective Dee", "Fist of Fury" and "Sword Rain", as well as Lao Mouzi's literary film "The Hawthorn Tree" love of".

I heard that "The Expendables" by Stallone and Li Lienjie has also been reviewed, but I don't know which month it will be released.

As for the Lunar New Year festival, it’s even more intense.

Lu Yang was under a lot of pressure. The production cost of this movie was more than 3200 million yuan, which was not a small amount. If the competition for the schedule was too fierce, he would probably lose money.

After thinking about it again, Lu Yang decided to move it back. He couldn't waste the box office by randomly adjusting the schedule.

"Well!" Li Mu nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered something, "The Busan Film Festival is preparing to announce the nominations!"

"Then I'm ready to win the prize!" Lu Yang rubbed his hands with a smile on his face.

Li Mu did not respond, but if his directors want to win awards, Mengying will definitely have to contribute.

After "The Witch" exceeded 4 million in 1.53 days, it has been released in China for one week, with a total of [-] million.

North America took in US$1.2 million at the box office!
The global box office is still being calculated.

This movie, which cost 2000 million US dollars, has a very good rate of return.

"Sissi, didn't Time Magazine say it wanted to use you as the cover? Why hasn't it been published yet?" Shu Chang waited for a week, but when there was no news, he couldn't help asking.

"I do not know either!"

"Probably next week!"

After Li Mu came back, he heard the discussion between the two, thought for a moment, and responded.

"How do you know?" Liu Yifei held Little Chengzi and was still giving it a gentle massage.

"Let me guess, this should be an irregular supplement."

"This way Sissi will be the first of the new generation to be published!"

Li Mu sat on the sofa and snatched Xiao Chengzi over. "You are embarrassed to say that there are several people in front of you. You added a new generation to her, for fear of hurting her."

"You're the only one who hits me every day."

Liu Yifei, who had lost Little Chengzi, had a use for her hands, and her small fists suddenly started to hit wildly.

"There aren't many people in front of me," Shu Chang was still shouting for his best friend.

The box office of "Earthquake", which has been released for more than two weeks, has reached 4.8 million yuan, which is only one step away from Huayi's previous slogan of 5 million yuan.

"Today it's a five-digit number, next week it's a six-digit number!" Feng Xiaogang said frequently during the interview.

This movie brought him a lot of glory.

Recently, there is another opponent in the Lunar New Year stalls.

The legendary love movie "The Magic Story" directed by Gu Changwei and starring Zhang Ziyi and Aaron Kwok has also announced that it will join the "Lunar New Year War".

There are a lot of movies in this schedule. Although it can currently accommodate several movies at the same time, this is still excessive.

Now the bayonet is about to see red, and I don’t know who will have the last laugh.

Zhang Yimou's "Hawthorn Tree Love" was released in mid-September. Zhang Weiping began to use the phrase "new leap" to describe the new movie in interviews.

For commercial films that are crowded together, they show great disdain.

"I think there are too many commercial films nowadays, which is irresponsible to the audience. I think the audience has more expectations and needs for romantic films like "Hawthorn Love"!"

"What kind of movie does this guy make and what does he say? He really has it." When Li Mu saw the news, he couldn't help but complain.

"I'm used to it!" Xue Xiaolu smiled, "By the way, Director Li, let's discuss the next schedule together."

The two were discussing where to schedule "33 Days After Love".

"Do you want to attend this year or next year?"

Xue Xiaolu thought for a while: "This year, there is no need to delay!"

"Want to add fuel to the Lunar New Year holiday?" Li Mu suddenly asked.

"It's not good, Director Li, there is almost no room inside now."

“We can’t compete in December, but we can take the first shot at the Lunar New Year season!”

"Director Li means to release it in November?"

"Yes, November 11th. The biggest advantage of our movie is that we are not afraid of losses!"

To put it nicely, it is an advantage, but to put it badly, it is a small-budget movie with a production cost of 1000 million. In the end, Xue Xiaolu had 100 million left.

"Then just listen to Director Li!"

Xue Xiaolu is also a director. Since Li Mudu suggested firing the first shot of the New Year, she was naturally willing.

In the afternoon, Mengying announced that "33 Days of Love" directed by Xue Xiaolu will be scheduled for mid-November. "The Orphan of Zhao" was originally scheduled to start shooting for the New Year at the end of November, but it has become "11 Days of Love".

“Good guy, we’re adding a strong general during the Lunar New Year!”

"Mengying Media has also joined in the New Year celebrations, and it's still the 'first release'!"

"Where's Mr. Li? He's shouting, let's just put "The Martian" in December and let's have a free-for-all!"

There are movies in China that want to compete for the November schedule, but they are suddenly discouraged.

"Boss, Mengying is involved, why should we let it go with such a small cost?"

"Forget it, leave it to them, let's fight for it early next year!"

"I'm afraid it will be a little difficult at the beginning of next year. Several productions have not yet been announced."

"Fuck, there aren't many movies in a month on weekdays, but now it's half a year in a month."

Wu Ershan's "Painted Skin 2" script has been polished to the point of "shining".

"Lao Wu, are you confident this time?" Mengying's screenwriter looked at Wu Ershan and teased.

"Waiting for you to become a great director!"

Wu Ershan chatted with several screenwriters for a while before opening the door.
