China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 424 The Lunar New Year Festival is in progress

"Relevant personnel revealed that Lin Chiling is suspected to have won the heroine of Chen Kaige's new film "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain"."

"Huace Film and Television Co., Ltd. announced in Shanghai that it will "marry" Guo Jingming for a price of no more than 1.8 million yuan. In addition to "Tiny Times 3" and "Tiny Times 4", the two parties plan to collaborate on five more films in the future."

"The Tuner has only been released for less than a day, and the box office has exceeded 6 million. The Lunar New Year storm continues to hit."

"The Storm, co-created by Andy Lau, Yao Chen, Lin Jiadong, Hu Jun and others, will be officially launched in major theaters across the country during the "Double 12 New Year's Day" the day after tomorrow."

One week after the release of "The Tuner", other movies have begun to slowly land in major theaters.

"The Storm" even set a record during the screening session before its premiere, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film ever screened.

"Brother Hua, you are the protagonist of this year's Lunar New Year."

Li Mu and the main creators conducted the last promotion before Double 12.

"Hahaha, that's all the major directors doing well. I'm just the icing on the cake at most."

Liu Dehua smiled happily.

I don’t know if it was due to the activation of the schedule by "The Tuner", but "The Storm" earned more than 3000 million yuan in revenue on the first day of its release. Including the box office from on-demand screenings, the total has exceeded 4100 million yuan.

After all, there will be several rounds of financing in the future, and the amount of financing will become larger and larger, but the valuation cannot be so low anymore.

The North American box office of "The Hunger Games 2" has exceeded 4 million, and the global box office has exceeded 7 million. There are still some countries where the show has not yet started. According to the predictions of professional institutions, it is unlikely that the global box office of "The Hunger Games 2" will exceed 8 million. Questionable matter.

Liu Yifei swayed her white legs and lay on the sofa.

It has set a new record as the highest-grossing Chinese-language police film on its first day.

Before Liu Dehua left, he waved to Li Mu and signaled.

"Amu, I see that the audience has given a lot of good reviews, how about we go watch it together?"

On the other hand, Xiao Chengzi looked confused. Although he had given up his position for some reason, he happily found a corner on the sofa and nestled quietly, squinting his eyes and enjoying this moment of peace. .

Li Mu responded with a smile.

On the other hand, ByteDance’s Series B, with a financing of US$1250, and Dream Capital obtained a financing amount of 625 million while spending corresponding entertainment resources, which is a good start.

"Row."

"Then wait for me."

"Director Li, there are promotional activities coming up, feel free to call me, but I have to take a leave of absence for the next two days."

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled, closed his laptop, and just looked at the data of "The Hunger Games 2" reported by David, as well as the results of Dream Capital's Series B investment in ByteDance.

Liu Yifei stood up immediately, almost erecting like a carp, and quickly rushed into the dressing room wearing slippers.

"The Tuner" has attracted much attention during its schedule, and it may also be his highest-grossing film. "The Storm" seems to have the potential to become a hit due to its good reputation.

"Okay, let's go then."

About half an hour later, Liu Yifei was wearing an off-white sweater and black jeans underneath, which stretched her thighs tightly and seemed to be full of elasticity.

Li Mu handed over the white coat from the shelf.

Little Chengzi, who was pinched in Liu Yifei's arms, looked at her very dissatisfied. After all, this sofa had been its territory for more than a month. But the feeding officer came back and not only occupied its territory, but also often pinched it. It's over, brushing off.

"Put on your coat, wait until it gets cold."

"I know, but you won't need it in the car."

Liu Yifei naturally got into the passenger seat.

The two learned to be smart this time. After all, it would be another struggle to be discovered again.

The movie "The Storm" is made a bit like an American blockbuster, and it can be regarded as a somewhat sincere police movie in recent years.

The progress of the five-minute small battle and the ten-minute big battle interweaves three psychological lines of the relationship between father and daughter, the love between men and women, and the painful choice between good and evil, promoting the development of the plot in a compelling manner.

If you regard it as a popcorn movie, the whole film has climaxes and explosive moments one after another. Many scenes make people sweat, and many scenes are very enjoyable.

Moreover, Andy Lau played this role with flesh and blood, full of tension, and it can make people think deeply.

But that's it.

Li Mu shook his head slightly. The police and gangster films in Hong Kong in recent years are still too limited.

Because the movie still tells the story of "how a good policeman enforces the law under heavy pressure", there is no obvious plot innovation.

You must know that in scenes where martial arts dominate the scene, the role of literary embellishment and reconciliation is particularly obvious. If the portrayal is insufficient, the concept is not clear enough, and the whole has no touching parts, leaving only the sensory stimulation brought by martial arts, this cannot be regarded as a success.

"Infernal Affairs" is really the pinnacle.

Li Mu lamented that the decline of Xiangjiang movies is well known, and police and gangster movies are considered to be their only remaining advantages.

Those movies in which guns are used as props - police movies, gangster movies and all kinds of Jianghu movies are one of the representative genres of Hong Kong movies.

The movie "The Storm" has attracted many nostalgic movie fans.

For mainland audiences who were born in the 1970s and early 1980s, this genre of film was the initiation of adolescence. They learned about Hong Kong, brotherhood, rivers and lakes, and sex in the video hall or borrowed video tapes.

For Hong Kong audiences, it is places like the Yindu Cinema that no longer exist. Before the 1990s, many people still remember the scenes of hard-to-get tickets and long queues to watch police movies.

This is the special significance of Hong Kong films. The ups and downs of Hong Kong films are always linked to this type of film.

But Liu Yifei didn't have much emotion. She felt that she was deceived by the audience's praise and didn't feel that good.

"It's a bit worse than your "Tuner"."

"Turnip greens, all have love."

Li Mu smiled. This movie passed or failed, but it's hard to say how much it could break through at the box office. In Li Mu's opinion, this movie might not have strong stamina. "The Tuner" failed to retain the top spot at the daily box office only on the day "The Storm" was released, but regained the top spot the next day.

Although the lead is very slim, a movie that was released for 10 days can still maintain a daily box office of to million. No one has this stamina.

Perhaps only "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" at the beginning of the year and "Edge of Tomorrow" during the National Day can compare.

However, it is obvious that the performance of "The Tuner" is still weaker than these two films.

Ning Hao seems to have kept a low profile these days, appearing in the post-production room of "Blooming Heart" on time every day.

Li Mu went back and scanned around, and saw that Ning Hao was rubbing his waist. He seemed a little tired.

"Hey, Director Ning, aren't you going to the party?"

After Li Mu sat down, he joked with a smile.

Ning Hao glanced at him resentfully and sighed.

"Don't blame me. I called you. You can't blame me."

Li Mu crossed his legs and said leisurely.

"There is a traitor among us"

"Hahaha, no, please let me laugh for a while."

Li Mu patted his thigh and laughed wildly.

Everyone on the side looked over.

"What's wrong, big boss? Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Who knows, I guess I talked about something happy with Director Ning."

"It doesn't look like it, look at Director Ning's sad face!"

The later staff murmured privately.

"Did Director Ning really say that?"

Liu Yifei asked with a smile that couldn't be concealed.

"Otherwise, you little traitor."

Li Mu gently poked her little head with his finger.

"Don't poke me, your brain will become stupid later." Liu Yifei knocked off Li Mu's hand and said dissatisfied, "Besides, I am on the same side as Sister Na, so I am not a traitor at all."

"I have to learn a few tricks from Sister Na, hehe."

Liu Yifei looked at Li Mu with cunning eyes.

"Guess how I came up with the plot of "The Tuner", you still want to fight with me?"

Li Mu was quite disdainful.

"Hmph, don't be too embarrassed."

Liu Yifei gave Li Mu a little punch first to see.

"The Tuner" has exceeded the 7 million mark after two weeks of release, and the cumulative box office has reached 7.9 million, just one step away from breaking through million.

"The Storm" grossed 1.66 million in its first week, ranking second only to "The Tuner".

The Lunar New Year season has begun to enter the second half, and Feng Xiaogang's "Private Customization" is ready to go.

However, just when Feng Xiaogang's "Private Customization 2" was about to premiere in major theaters, the latest news came from the Oscars.

“According to a report released by the Oscar Organizing Committee in the early morning, 9 films, including “The Grandmaster,” successfully stood out from 76 submitted films from around the world and advanced to the next round of Oscar selection for Best Foreign Language Film.

It will finally compete for five Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film.

Feng Xiaogang's "1942" unfortunately failed to make the list. "

Mainland China and Baodao lost again, but Xiangjiang entered the top 9 list.

"really."

Feng Xiaogang was a little disappointed at the moment, but the result was indeed expected.

After all, the Golden Globe Awards are indeed quite accurate when it comes to foreign language films, at least the shortlisted ones won’t be too far apart.

However, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.

Although not being shortlisted is not a disaster, "Private Tailored" had two midnight premieres at 18pm on the 10th and early morning on the 19th, and the film's national box office revenue was approximately 1200 million.

However, due to "Private Order" "sneaking away", there were two premieres. This is equivalent to about 600 million per show, which is still a gap of 140 million, failing to surpass "Little Times".

Many good news media have already started to report on it.

"Shocking, the masterpiece of Feng Xiaogang, the king of Lunar New Year movies, actually lost to the debut film of "Little Four" Guo Jingming this summer."

I have to say that this title does clearly spell out all the elements, and also emphasizes that Guo Jingming is a debut novel.

This made Feng Xiaogang's original joyful mood completely destroyed by the media.

It would be fine if Li Mu, Zhang Yimou and others were compared with him. Who knows where the cats and dogs come from that are worthy of comparing with him?
