Chapter 517 Domestic movies must hold on

"Produced by Mengying Media and directed by Wu Jing, the 3D war masterpiece "Wolf Warrior" was released nationwide on April 4. The film's box office of 2 million on the first day set a box office record for military themes, with box office, film schedule, and attendance achieved Three consecutive."

“‘Let’s Get Married’ fell short of expectations, and ‘Wolf Warrior’ made 1.37 million in three days!”

"The preview poster for Chen Kaige's new work "The Taoist Descends from the Mountain" has been released and will be released on July 7 to compete in the summer vacation!"

It coincides with the Qingming Festival holiday. Before the release of these two films, "Let's Get Married" was slightly more optimistic in the industry. After all, romantic comedies are more likely to achieve high box office, and with the popularity of previous TV series, they are also easily accepted. Some.

The military theme has always been unpopular. If the movie was not produced by Mengying Media, it would be somewhat ignored. However, the popularity of "Wolf Warrior" shocked the industry.

However, "Wolf Warrior" is not without its opponents, and "Fast and Furious 7", which will be released in a week, is the biggest competitor.

Now "Fast and Furious 7" is taking North America by storm, topping this week's championship with an opening of $1.43 million, rewriting many records in film history!

At the same time, "Ip Man 3" jointly created by Mengying Media and Emperor is finally ready to start filming, and a special press conference was held for this purpose.

Boxing champion Tyson will attend the event.

"Hahaha, he told me before!"

The filming of "The Revenant" was in the later stages, and Li Mu unconsciously wanted to speed up the progress.

Li Mu shook his head, "But David likes it very much!"

However, Li Mu politely refused. This was purely a waste. After all, the script had been created and you couldn't spend money just because you wanted to.

"Let's get to work. Let's finish filming early and go home early to rest."

Now that even the Oscars have passed, women are the ones being talked about the most.

Li Mu glanced at his watch, stood up, and commanded.

Sometimes people can only entertain themselves and talk about some gossip in the circle.

Of course, the Kardashian family cannot be mentioned here, as they often dominate entertainment news pages in Europe and the United States.

The filming lasted nearly four months. To be honest, he missed Chinese food and the quilt at home.

Leonardo couldn't help but laugh loudly. He didn't like this one very much, which could be seen from the previous girlfriends he chose.

It became popular before filming, which gave Emperor a lot of confidence. He even wanted to continue to increase investment and make the scene more grand.

Leonardo joked with a smile.

Especially Kim Kardashian, her fat butt is coveted by many men in Europe and America.

The huge crew began to work again.

"I'm not very interested!"

David, who was still in Los Angeles at the moment, couldn't help sneezing and felt a little strange.

Many men in the crew also like this one. Big breasts and fat butt cannot be used to describe this woman.

"Li, do you like it?"

A large part of the filming of "The Revenant" was spent in a place where birds don't poop, which was really difficult.

This can be regarded as a pre-launch promotion, and it has really attracted many fans.

After collecting 2.13 million yuan in its first week, Wolf Warriors continued to make rapid progress and successfully exceeded the 4 million ticket sales mark in its second week.

But at this time, the Hollywood beast "Fast and Furious 7" has arrived.

First, the midnight screening grossed 5030 million yuan at the box office, which shocked the industry.

As a result, in the afternoon of that day, it was revealed that the single-day box office of "Fast 7" exceeded million, which made the industry somewhat silent.

You must know that the previous popular Hollywood movie "Transformers 4" only had a box office of 1.9 million on its first day.

Not to mention the industry, Lianqiu itself is a bit confused.

Not only is the North American market extremely hot, but so is the global market, especially in China.

Professionals in the North American industry also analyzed that the reason why "Fast Furious 7" became popular all over the world is because this movie looks like the end of the entire series, and the English title even means the ending.

This has completely aroused the yearning of huge fans around the world. As the end of the whole film, how can it be justified if you have not witnessed it with your own eyes.

In addition, the death of Paul Walker made this film his posthumous work. Even if they are not die-hard fans of the "Fast and Furious" series, superstar Paul's posthumous work makes many viewers want to see it with their own eyes.

At the end of the "Fast 7" movie, Paul's classic image in the series came out like a tide. Many netizens could not resist this ending and shed tears for the ending of a movie full of speed and passion.

Paul's last scene in the "Fast and Furious" series, you have to buy a ticket just thinking about it.

"But I didn't say clearly that this is the end chapter."

Adam Ferguson smiled extremely happily. Only a fool would make a conclusion of such a popular series. As long as there is a market, the plot will always continue.

This has silenced the domestic market, and Feng Xiaogang even shouted the slogan "domestic films must hold on".

But compared to the nervousness in the industry, the audience was not panic at all.

First of all, it was a super blockbuster and grand scene like "Fast Furious 7". They enjoyed watching it. After all, there has been a vacancy of this type of movie for a long time.

Secondly, there are directors in China who are completely worthy.

Many netizens commented directly on Feng Xiaogang’s Weibo.

"Don't worry, Director Li is still here. Once he takes action, it will be the limit of "Fast 7"!"

"I'm so scared. Let "Fast 7" break the record of "2012" first and then it's too late to panic."

"Director Li: I'm not panicking at all. I even want to see where this record can go!"

Feng Xiaogang fell silent when he saw the comments from netizens and remained silent for a long time. Damn it, everyone has confidence in Li Mu, why don’t they have confidence in him? There is not a single thing to comfort him.

Is the difference so big?

Feng Xiaogang felt like the wind in the imperial capital was carrying sand, and he was about to burst into tears.

"Fast 7", which was released on Sunday, won again on Monday, unsurprisingly defending the Monday box office championship with 1.83 million yuan. It collected 5.7 million yuan in box office in two days, setting a record for the domestic box office of the "Fast and Furious" series.

On the third day after "Fast 7" was released, the Cannes Film Festival finally announced this year's shortlist.

Three Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the main competition, namely "La La Land" directed by Li Mu, "Old Friends in Mountains and Rivers" directed by Jia Zhangke, and "The Assassin" directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien.

This is also the session with the largest number of Chinese-language films nominated in recent years.

For a time, everyone in the industry and outside the industry had great expectations for this Cannes event.

"Chinese-speaking directors compete in Cannes again and challenge the Palme d'Or!"

The media is also helping.

Among them, three directors have made achievements in Cannes.

Li Mu has won the most awards at Cannes, first the Grand Jury Prize and then the Best Director.

Jia Zhangke only won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, while Hou Hsiao-hsien won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize.

This has to make people look forward to the birth of another Palme d'Or.

Li Mu's "La La Land" was also shortlisted, which caused many fans of Li Mu and Liu Yifei to beg for "La La Land" to be released as soon as possible.

Fans' comments amused Liu Yifei.

"Amu, have you read the messages sent to you by netizens?"

Liu Yifei's smiling voice seemed to relieve Li Mu's fatigue a lot.

"not yet!"

Li Mu lay on the sofa and rubbed his brows. The recent shooting intensity was a bit intense.

Mainly because Li Mu wanted to end it early, and the crew also had the same idea, so everyone worked hard. The efficiency was improved, but the intensity was also increased.

"By the way, when will our movie be released?"

Liu Yifei asked.

"Let's go to Chinese Valentine's Day."

Li Mu said without hesitation that this movie is a romantic love movie, so it would be perfect to release it on Chinese Valentine's Day.

He didn't even look to see if there were any other blockbusters in Chinese Valentine's Day. Anyway, he was confident enough and not afraid of any challenge.

"Yeah, yeah, it's up to you."

Liu Yifei naturally had no objection, and this day seemed to be even more romantic.

As "Fast 7" takes the global box office by storm, two major pieces of news hit the Chinese film industry one after another.

TVB Media and Lionsgate Pictures will launch a huge cooperation of US$15 billion. Huayi America and STX Entertainment have signed a cooperation plan for no less than 3 films within three years.

This makes many actors who have dreams of entering Hollywood can't help but shine.

After all, if domestic companies settle in, there will always be opportunities to praise their own people.

Didn’t Li Mu hire his own people to shoot many of his movies?

In fact, since the beginning of this year, whether Legend Oriental, Atlas Entertainment, China Film and LeTV have jointly supported Zhang Yimou's new film "The Great Wall", Bona Pictures, Studio8, and Samsung Films have jointly invested in Ang Lee's new film "Billy Lynn's Long Days". Intermission".
Many news about Sino-US film cooperation have been emerging one after another.

Many domestic film companies are also full of confidence and are preparing to enter Hollywood.

Domestic media are also competing to praise it.

"In the past, there was only one Mengying Media. In the future, there will be countless Mengying Media. This is the beginning of the internationalization of Chinese films."

What I’m talking about here is of course Mengying Media’s overseas capabilities.

Chinese films have been trying to be linked to "internationalization" for many years. However, after 20 years of progress, except for Mengying Media, the development level of the rest is not satisfactory.

This news caused a stir in the industry.

However, Zhang Yi, who entered the "Great Wall" project, smiled bitterly when he heard the news.

Working with Hollywood is really not that simple, and this is something he only knows after experiencing it now.

He is now like a project manager. He seems to have power, but he is restricted from top to bottom. He can't even make major adjustments to the script, he can only tinker with it.

"Just do my best."

Zhang Yimou had a frown on his face. For a professional director, the script was still terrible even after some adjustments based on his suggestions.

The time couldn't help but come to April 4th.

Although "Wolf Warrior" was impacted by "Fast 7", its box office still exceeded the 5 million mark.

But at present, 6 million is hopeless.

And "Fast 7" was released for 8 days, breaking 15 billion and chasing the film history championship, which is very scary.

Everyone on the crew of "The Revenant" looked serious as the final scene was taking place in a remote mountainous area in Argentina.

No one wanted this scene to continue tomorrow, so they all worked hard.
