Chapter 293

"Passengers" steadily broke through the box office of 2 million yuan on the fourth day of its second week, and it has been making great progress with almost no stumbling blocks.

As for Huayi Distribution, "Happy Magic" produced by Tianma Pictures is said to be a blockbuster with an investment of 7000 million, with a box office of 110 million on the first day.

Was swept away directly.

"Three Idiots" is indeed good. However, it has been two years since this movie was released in India, and pirated resources are already everywhere in the country.
As a result, "Passengers" became a smash hit in early December.

However, the industry is not all harmonious. In the past few days, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" have been fighting fiercely.

Faced with Zhang Weiping's aggressiveness, Yu Dong accused "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" of three crimes through "Wealth Life":

"Exaggerated film investment of 6 million yuan."

"The campaign in North America is suspected of trying to pull off a tiger's skin."

“Investment risks should not be passed on to the audience.”

People in the circle said that he was good at it. After all, this scene was difficult to see. Everyone knew that Zhang Weiping was about to fight back.

"As for what?"

Liu Yifei looked dumbfounded as netizens on the Internet continued to express anger.

Li Mu smiled and said: "The two families have been feuding for a long time. I'm afraid this time it won't just be a 'war of words'."

Everyone knows the release date of "Thirteen Girls", but if Bona still relies on that date, even if you say it's not intentional, no one in the industry will believe it.

"Audiences of "The Thirteen Hairpins" should not go to Bona to watch it because they can't screen it."

Zhang Weiping also took practical actions to "attack" Yu Dong's Bona Pictures, taking the opportunity of being a guest on Dragon TV's "Can Fan Listen" to respond directly to the media.

At the celebration banquet of "Passengers", the 2 million symbol was engraved on a large ice brick.

Guo Fan stood on the stage with Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Xun.

"Shuang, I'm afraid this wave will reach 4 million. Director Guo, I leave the mallet to you, smash it hard."

Zhou Xun was very happy. He took a small mallet and played with it twice.

In the audience, Han Sanping, Wang Changtian and Li Mu were chatting away.

As for Yu Dong, who was still fighting Zhang Weiping, he didn't have time to come.

"The circle has been very lively recently."

Wang Changtian looked like he was watching the excitement. After all, the light was not within the scope of the big fight this time.

"What does it look like"

Han Sanping was speechless. Although he was also unhappy with Zhang Weiping, the "poor harvest" of domestic films in the first three quarters directly led to the decline in the box office ratio of domestic films to imported films, and also led to more blockbuster films. People bet their money on the Lunar New Year holiday, which puts the Lunar New Year holiday under unprecedented pressure.

As a result, "Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were so unsatisfactory that they just started talking to each other without fighting.

"The General Administration will not reconcile this time?"

Li Mu was a little curious. He just said not to fight in a meeting a few months ago, and now he did it.

Wang Changtian also looked at Han Sanping curiously. The General Administration had persuaded him to change the schedule during the last Lunar New Year period.

"It's impossible for the General Administration to send people down every time there's a fight in these movies."

Li Mu looked indifferent: "Then let them fight."

"It's easy to say that when domestic movies are not strong enough, this kind of "dragon and phoenix fight" that goes beyond a war of words is actually not good for anyone, whether it is Zhang Weiping or Yu Dong, whether it is "Jinling Thirteen Panties" or "Jinling Thirteen Panties" Dragon Fly"."

"I'm so angry." Li Mu laughed.

This time, it was useless to persuade anyone. China Film and Mengying both invested, but Mengying only invested a little symbolically, China Film not much, and the absolute leader was Bona.

Fatty Yu was already red-eyed this time.

From "Golden Armor" VS "Scar", to "October Siege" narrowly beat "Three Guns", to "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" VS "Thirteen Hairpins", the feud between Bona and New Picture Film Company It’s been a long time.

All three of them knew the inside story. The first time was when Yu Dong was beaten up by Zhang Weiping. In that confrontation, "Hurt City", which had the upper hand, was supposed to be released first, but "Golden Armor" suddenly announced that it would advance its schedule by 9 days. Instantly squeeze the other party's "exclusive schedule" to less than a week.

Feeling a bit at a loss for a moment, Yu Donghun tried his best, and he actually postponed the schedule of "Hurt City" for half a month!

Yu Dong then made a save, but the opportunity was lost and the situation was over.

In the end, the box office reached a high level, and Yu Dong, who only received 7400 million in box office, became Zhang Weiping's mortal enemy.

As a result, three years later in the 3 Lunar New Year battle, the two met again.

After experiencing a disastrous defeat in the previous war, Yu Dong kept a low profile and tried his best. This time he announced an alliance with Chen Kexin, the "Northern Allied Forces", to jointly build the masterpiece "October Siege".

It was Yu Dong's foreshadowing that the public opinion that spread out from the test screening room was "Zhang Yi's worst in history".

Relying on word-of-mouth as a foreshadowing, Yu Dong and his team staged a textbook comeback. "October Siege" relied on the strong "word-of-mouth effect" to preemptively hit the theaters in the third week of the release of "Three Guns" Assault on top.

The 2.9 million that Yu Dong finally got back in front of "Three Guns" was the same number that "Golden Armor" took away a few years ago: "You always have to pay back when you come out to fool around."

Yu Dong, who finally avenged his humiliation, evened the "box office encounter" between the two to a 1:1 tie.

It's the 2011 New Year's Eve, and this time the two of them are definitely going to fight to the death. Not to mention Li Mu's persuasion, even if Han Sanping ends up, it's probably hard to persuade him.

"I haven't learned how to make good-looking movies yet, but I've learned a lot about internal strife."

Han Sanjing could only shake his head.

Wang Changtian and Li Mu looked at each other and smiled. He was not in the center of the vortex and could not intervene. He could only watch the excitement. "Director Li, who is better this time?"

Wang Changtian asked directly after Han Sanping left.

Li Mu knocked on the chair: "If it is at the box office, "Thirteen Hairpins" still has an advantage."

"Yes, Zhang Yimou is still Zhang Yimou after all."

Wang Changtian also had to admit that Zhang Weiping's strategy of conquering the world with "plot" was indeed very good, and he couldn't learn it even if he wanted to.

"But it's not that easy for Zhang Weiping to get back his money this time. Even if he doesn't invest 6 million like Yu Dong said, it won't be too little."

Blockbuster productions in the industry are never as high as the publicity.

Generally, companies offer a 7% or 8% discount, but Zhang Weiping’s new picture offers a 5 or 6% discount.

Yu Dong also took a fancy to this and decided to suppress Zhang Weiping.

In fact, there is no conflict between Tsui Hark and Zhang Yi, and they are still good friends.

Both of them had communicated with Li Mu and had nothing to do about the matter. After all, they were both just directors.

The release was about to take place, so Li Mu still called Yu Dong to ask about it.

Yu Dong explained it in a good voice, but he omitted Bona's dirty trick earlier and gave a selective explanation.

"Director Li, I understand. Putting two directors in a "fighting arena" is actually irresponsible to the Chinese film market. I preferred to stagger the screenings by a week. He was on the 16th and I was on the 22nd.

As a result, Zhang Weiping came up with another trick to deliberately disgust you. He refused to show "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" in Bona's cinemas. Bona now has 14 cinemas, so he would not show "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" in Bona's cinemas. This means that Bona Cinema will open its skylights this week. "

Liu Yifei also heard Yu Dong's reply, looked up at Li Mu, and asked:

"Then which premiere are we going to?"

"Never go."

"Hehe, let's go sing karaoke these days."

Not attending both premieres instantly gave me two extra days.

"Then go."

Li Mu smiled. Liu Yifei occasionally wanted to show off her singing voice. Although she had never been kissed by an angel, she was still passable.

On the day of the premiere of "Thirteen Hairpins", a media preview of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was held.

"It depends on how many media outlets you have."

Yu Dong's move can be regarded as a blow to the bottom of the pot. Although the premiere of "Thirteen Hairpins" will still be full of people, Yu Dong just feels disgusted with Zhang Weiping.

"Yu Peifu"

Zhang Weiping cursed.

As for another big news in the industry, Ge You's works have been signed by Emperor, with a three-film contract in five years.

It should have been a relatively sensational thing in the industry, but in the face of these two Lunar New Year movies, the popularity couldn't rise.

Only Huayi is in embarrassment, with its stock price falling for five days in a row. However, Ge You’s agency contract itself is not with Huayi.
"The 3D visual effects are really good, definitely not inferior to Hollywood."

When watching "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", some filmmakers were shocked by the super long shot special effects in the opening film - the scene that looks like tunnels drilling through the masts of countless warships.

In the close-up of the characters in the film, even the eyelashes are clearly visible.

Especially the darts played by Li Yuchun, the audience can't help but hide and hide every time.

"Tiancai took action. The filming team borrowed some people, and Tiancai also did the post-production."

“Tiancai is the only company in China that can do this type of 3D special effects.”

"It will work after Galloping Pony, but he has invested in Hollywood's Digital Domain."

Tsui Hark was very satisfied with these people's surprise. He was serious about technology, otherwise he wouldn't have learned it specifically, and he even asked Li Mu to borrow someone from Tiancai.

It's just that "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Thirteen Hairpins" are a bit viciously competitive.
The media that day praised "Thirteen Hairpins" as another sincere work by Zhang Yimou, and the media gave it a high score of nearly 90 points.

The audience also rated it very highly, with full marks for the tear-jerking factor.

On the other hand, the media also praised the 3D effects of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" for being a masterpiece. It is worthy of Tiancai's special effects and is not inferior to the special effects of Hollywood 3D blockbusters. The media gave the special effects a high score of 90 points.

Just when the two blockbusters are about to be released, "Passengers" has exceeded 3 million and is heading towards 4 million.

"There are no movies in the cinema, so they are called chairs."

Zhang Weiping started talking nonsense again, directly pointing the finger at Bona.

"This Zhang Weiping"

Li Mu was also a little speechless. You obediently released it as soon as it was released. It was scheduled to be released on the 15th, and you had to come out and mess around again before it was released.

Yu Dong is really shameless.

"If the movie theater doesn't show your movie, it's called film."

Yu Dong also responded, and the schedule of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" will be moved forward again to 12 pm on December 15th, which is 2 hours earlier than "The Thirteen Hairpins".

The battle between the two blockbusters is about to begin.
