Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 685: Hollywood blockbusters sweeping the mainland
Internal entertainment.

Male compatriots on the Internet have a new public enemy. At least that’s what the trending searches on Weibo say.

"Gao Yuanyuan and Mark Chao publicly obtained their marriage certificate. Netizens shouted: The hatred of having your wife stolen is irreconcilable!"

"The two met because of 'Searching'. Director Chen Kaige acted as a matchmaker and sent his blessing. He said frankly that he had seen the potential when they were on the set!"

The internet was extremely lively, with people in the circle leaving messages to send their blessings and asking for wedding invitations.

The netizens were quite excited.

"The hatred of taking away my wife!"

"We will die together!"

“Oh, the last time I felt so heartbroken was when Yifei and Director Gu made their relationship public. I didn’t expect to feel it again now.” Most fans who like Gao Yuanyuan have this mentality.

"Fuck it, what does the official announcement have to do with you? Do you feel heartbroken every time it's announced? Stupid." This is a neutral attitude.

"A beautiful girl from the mainland chose a Taiwanese. Bad review. I don't think they will break up sooner or later." This is too unfriendly.

Compared to the various comments from netizens, there was a lot of congratulations in the entertainment industry. But within two days, Gao Yuanyuan’s “dirty deeds” in Chongqing were dug up again by someone with ulterior motives.

However, these things only lasted for a few days. When a project called "The Mermaid" came out, it instantly attracted the attention of most people in the circle.

Because the director is Zhou Xingchi, a director who naturally has a guarantee of box office success.

In other words, there are currently only two and a half directors in the domestic entertainment industry who have the ability to make such a movie even before it is made, but investors believe it will make a lot of money.

Needless to say, Gu Wei, even if he says now that his next movie is a terrible flop, his fans will still buy tickets to go to the cinema to see what's so terrible about the movie.

The second one is Zhou Xingchi, the man who made many netizens shout "We owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket."

The remaining half is Jiang Wen, who originally had the opportunity to become a complete person. Unfortunately, he was too slow in making movies and used too many metaphors. Even in the box office hit "Let the Bullets Fly", there were still a large number of viewers who said they couldn't understand it.

But Jiang Wen has not yet experienced the box office failure of "One Step Away", so he still has some appeal, so he can only be counted half.

The fantasy romance and comedy "The Mermaid" has not yet been announced, but the private fight for market share has already begun.

Dozens of film and television companies, including Bona Film Group, Light Media, Emperor Entertainment Group, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Huayi Brothers, Star Media, Orange Sky, and Star Films, have set their sights on Zhou Xingchi.

When word spread in the circle that Huayi Company was rejected, many people laughed out loud.

"You deserve it." Yu Dong's hatred for the two brothers was like an endless torrent of water. Hearing that the two had been humiliated, he wanted to open a bottle of wine to celebrate.

But then he thought that he had no chance to get involved, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.

On the other side, Han Sanping was discussing this matter with Song Ge.

"Mr. Han, are you sure?" In the tea room, Song Ge asked tentatively while tasting the Maojian tea that was just released this year.

"Haha, he was scared by Huayi last time, so this time when investing in the box office, the other party will give priority to China Film and Shanghai Film. After all, companies with "China" in their names still have integrity." Han Sanping is obviously full of confidence this time. After stepping down from the position of chairman of China Film, because of the existence of Xingchen Film and Television Company, Han Sanping is currently working as a consultant and has been assigned by La Peikang a task to deal with film and television companies in the industry.

For Han Sanping, who has been in the entertainment industry all his life, this position is simply too comfortable.

Usually, he picks projects from major film and television companies. If he finds a suitable one, Han Sanping will contact him first. When things are almost going well, La Peikang will come forward.

"So what?" Song Ge continued to ask.

"So China Film will definitely get a share this time. As for Xingchen Film, it's hard to say." Han Sanping said dimly.

"Then what the hell are you talking about?" Looking at Han Sanping's half-smile, Song Ge silently complained in his heart.

"Okay, Mr. Han, you go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Song Ge said, preparing to get up and leave.

Han Sanping saw that Song Ge was about to leave and was about to speak when the other party's phone rang.

Song Ge picked up the phone and saw that it was Gu Wei calling, so he answered it directly in front of Han Sanping.

Three minutes later, "What? Not getting involved?" Song Ge's voice suddenly rose, and Han Sanping also looked at him.

After Song Ge hung up the phone, Han Sanping asked what happened.

"Director Gu said he didn't plan to invest in The Mermaid, and the reason he gave was that the company was preparing to collect funds to invest in new big-budget movies."

After listening to Gu Wei's plan, Song Ge's mood had recovered from his initial state of reluctance.

But Song Ge didn't notice that Han Sanping looked at him with an indescribable excitement...

...

The summer season has officially begun.

Dozens of domestic films were ready to compete with each other, but just when he was feeling good about himself.

The most discussed topic among netizens is still "Transformers 4". There is no doubt that this movie has an absolute advantage in topic and dominates the hot searches on Weibo.

The 3D special effects, especially the viewing effect under the IMAX 3D giant screen, were praised by all audiences.

A large number of celebrities in the industry are posting support and recommendations on Weibo.

The film scheduling rate as high as 54% also suppresses all domestic films.

The box office on the first day was 1.74 million!
That’s right, the box office of "Transformers 4" on the first day was close to million, breaking the first-day box office record held by "The Wandering Earth".

The media has gone crazy and the internet is full of news about this Hollywood blockbuster.

"On the first day of its release, the Hollywood imported science fiction blockbuster "Transformers 4" grossed an astonishing box office of 54 million with a super-high screening rate of 1.74%!"

""Transformers 4" has broken and refreshed the first-day box office record and single-day box office record in the mainland film market within one day of its release! It is targeting the highest box office record in the mainland film market!"

On just the first day, "Transformers 4" let the entire domestic film and television industry know what a Hollywood blockbuster is.

Mainland media even reported it with the headline: "The box office record of "The Wandering Earth" may be lost, Hollywood blockbusters have amazing suppressive power."

But everyone in the industry knows that it is almost impossible for "Transformers 4" to break the record held by "The Wandering Earth" for two reasons.

One reason is that the release time was not enough. "The Wandering Earth" was delayed for a month before it achieved a box office revenue of 3 billion.

The second is the release date issue. Although there are no big-budget domestic films in the summer season, "Tiny Times 3" and "See You Tomorrow" are waiting.

Even if these two fan movies don't turn out well, they're still likely to earn hundreds of millions at the box office.

Last year, The Wandering Earth dominated the entire National Day period, and no other film was released that could affect it. But whether this film can break records or not, it still can't stop the other party's popularity. Even when Gu Wei received a call from Liu Yifei, the young lady asked him when he would come back to watch Transformers 4 together.

"Haven't you seen it?" Gu Wei knew that on the day the movie was released, Liu Yifei took Su Chang, who had just finished filming for "Red Sorghum", to the cinema.

Afterwards, the young lady recommended this movie to her fans. The post is still on Weibo, with tens of thousands of comments from netizens.

"Oh, I miss you, so I want to go with you, okay?" Liu Yifei cursed "you dead wood" in her heart, but said coquettishly.

"Uh." The sudden coquettishness made Gu Wei feel a little embarrassed.

"Be good. It will take at most two months to finish "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Then I'll go back to accompany you and send them gift invitations. Hehe!" Faced with the annoying little goblin, Gu Wei could only coax him in a gentle voice.

After being busy for more than ten minutes, when he finally coaxed the young lady into hanging up the phone, beads of sweat appeared on Gu Wei's forehead.

Gu Wei doesn't care about "Transformers 4" sweeping the mainland market. After all, this movie is the final peak of the Transformers series. After this movie is finished, Transformers will become the representative of Hollywood bad movies.

Thinking of this, Gu Wei could only continue to devote himself to the later stages. The sooner it was done, the sooner he could feel at ease.

Seeing how hard the great director Gu Wei worked, the president of Warner simply waved his hand and sent hundreds of more engineers to join.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After the post-production of "The Conjuring" by Tomorrow's Star Film and Television Company was completed, Gu Wei also transferred nearly a hundred people from the company.

Originally, it was planned that "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" would be completed at least by the end of September, but Gu Wei is now confident that he can complete it two to three weeks ahead of schedule. After all, there is strength in numbers.

Looking at the huge crowd, Gu Wei felt that he had already used all his strength for his own "sexual" happiness.

.........

Television drama field.

Currently, the hot searches in the domestic entertainment industry are dominated by "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Lost Tomb of Dragon Ridge".

The former is being promoted vigorously, and the other party's slogan is to benchmark "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", with a focus on promoting the heroine Yang Mi.

It seems like they are taking advantage of the other party's popularity and appeal to raise the price of the TV series' broadcasting rights. After all, the price of 7 million per episode of "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Cave of Dragon Ridge" is really enviable.

The latter set a new viewership record on its premiere day on July 7, breaking the viewership record previously set by the most popular TV series "Let's Get Married".

Among the numerous reports on the two TV series, there is also a lot of news about other TV series.

For example: "The film "Jade Knife", produced by Xingchen Films, directed by Liu Dapeng and Wang Weiting, and starring Zhao Liying, Shi Xiaolong, Yu Bo, and Yang Junyi, started filming in Hengdian..."

"Ode to Joy 2, produced by Xingchen Films and starring Liu Tao and Jiang Xin, recently wrapped up in Shanghai..."

"The urban youth idol romance drama "The Sunshine Like Me" is jointly produced by Midsummer Sky and Qilin Pictures, co-directed by Wang Bin and Yang Yongchun, and co-starred by Tian Liang, Yi Yi and others. It will be broadcast on Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV on the 18th..."

Although the news about the TV series is attractive, the most discussed topic among netizens is still "Transformers 4".

继首日报收1.74亿后，第二天和第三天分别斩获2.23亿、2.13亿票房，首周末3天票房总计6.1亿！”

The mainland production industry and countless film companies are basically in a state of shock and cannot believe this box office data.

Subsequently, it took only one week for this movie to completely shatter the ceiling of the Chinese-language film market.

"The Hollywood science fiction blockbuster "Transformers 4" was released for seven days and once again broke the first-week box office record in the Chinese film market."

"The total box office of "Transformers 4" reached 10.2 billion in one week after its release!"

It broke 10 billion in just one week. You should know that up to now, there are only 10 movies in the entire Chinese-language film industry that have grossed over 4 billion.

The only movie that achieved this result in just seven days was "The Wandering Earth", which was shot at a huge cost. The previous "Avatar" and "2012" could not do it either.

Now, the producers of movies scheduled to be released in July were dumbfounded, and many companies couldn't help but think of deserting.

Especially "Tiny Times 3" and "See You Tomorrow", how eye-catching the previous publicity was, how embarrassing it is now.

If they postpone it, netizens will probably criticize them to death. Besides, if they delay it any further, either a lot of Hollywood blockbusters or works by big directors will be released.

Don't postpone it. With the momentum of "Transformers 4", whoever encounters it will die. No matter how many fans support you, the result will be the same.

At this point, many people finally began to praise Han Sanping, and some people even complained directly, saying that when President Han was in office, these Hollywood blockbusters would never have the chance to flourish.

After hearing these remarks, La Peikang started cursing and in his heart he cursed these bastards for being blind. If they hadn't stopped him, he estimated that all domestic films would fail at the box office this year.

.........

Time passes day by day.

As the release date of "Tiny Times 3" is getting closer, the film finally chose not to postpone.

Director Guo even publicly stated that he would not flee in the face of Hollywood blockbusters, and that fans have sharp eyes and that "Tiny Times 3" has no shortage of supportive audiences.

Not to mention, Director Guo's remarks have attracted a lot of support from netizens. After all, compared with those domestic films that can't wait to postpone their release dates, this director is considered tough, and even some directors in the circle don't look at him with such disdain anymore.

It has to be said that Director Guo's actions won the favor of many people, but Tai Chi Ma's actions made people in the circle look at him with contempt.

In mid-July, Taiji Ma made a statement at an Alibaba Pictures press conference, saying:

“Currently, there are big problems in the domestic film and television cultural industry: that is, people who have money but no brains have full pockets but empty heads.

If the cultural industry cannot take off, we will be a nouveau riche, so Alibaba Pictures will learn from Netflix and House of Cards.

We will create film and television works according to the audience's preferences, and the audience can even lead the direction of the work. Only in this way can new vitality appear in the film and television cultural industry..."

In addition to exposing the shortcomings of the current film and television industry and promoting Alibaba's film and television thinking, Tai Chi Ma also publicly called on capable screenwriters and powerful newcomers to join Alibaba Pictures and become the founders and pioneers of the new era of the film and television industry.

Many old people in the traditional film and television industry sneer at the Tai Chi Horse style.

Damn it, Zhang Qiang just said last month that Alibaba will not need professional talents in the future, and now he is publicly slapping himself in the face.

However, seeing the rising trend of Alibaba's stock price, many people feel jealous.

Some even lamented: "What's the use of face? It's more important to have money."

When Gu Wei saw this news, he felt that this guy and Musk could have a look. If they had the same skin color and race, they would definitely be brothers.
