Big names rise

Will Smith still has a great market in China, and the "Men in Black" series is also very popular among mainland audiences. Although "Men in Black 3" is of average quality and did not explode in North America, the box office in the first week in the Mainland was 1.57 million. , even fiercer than "The Avengers". Sure enough, as long as the nostalgic plot of the Chinese people is right, the box office is not a problem at all.

There are few movies in May, and I mainly watch the performances of "The Avengers" and "Men in Black 3". In the end, the two Hollywood blockbusters have broken through the 5.7 million mark, and "Women's Federation" is 4 million slightly better than "Black 5.2" [-] At the same time, the box office of Hollywood films and domestic films in the first half of the year was seriously disproportionate. It can be said that the domestic film market was completely contracted by Hollywood films in the first half of the year.

This situation made domestic filmmakers feel sad, and it also gave many film critics or critics who bad-mouthed Chinese films a reason to find a reason.

However, the situation may improve in the future. Several Chinese-language films with a strong lineup will be released on the screen one after another. I have been watching Hollywood blockbusters for the past half a year. One reason is that Hollywood blockbusters are indeed outstanding in terms of visual effects. Another important reason is that That is, Chinese-language blockbusters are basically scheduled for the two super-large schedules of summer vacation and Lunar New Year, so that small schedules and flat months are ignored, and Hollywood movies take advantage of the loopholes.

The number of Hollywood movies that will be released next is limited, and the quality is also average. Chinese movies will get some respite.

On June 6th, "Ruffian Heroes" released by Shuimu Forest landed in the mainland film market under the influence of quite a high topic, with the brand of a new height of Chinese-language police and gangster films.And it started off with a good box office of 5 million, ranking third on the weekly list. The first is "Men in Black 5100", which is still popular, with 3 million.The second is Hollywood's new film, the blockbuster animation series "Madagascar 9100" 3 million, as for Zhao Youting's other starring work "The First Time", which earned 5400 million in the first week, ranking sixth.Next, he will have a "Search" by Chen Kaige, and it is said that Hua Yi intends to praise him as the male number one in "The Prequel of Di Renjie". It seems that this Taiwanese niche will soon become famous in the mainland.

In the week after "Hero Ruffian" and the week before "Painted Skin 2". "The Hunger Games" will also land in the mainland, but this time it is not the way of Shuimu Forest, but a serious account-sharing blockbuster.China Film is responsible for distribution.

Since the introduction of changes in the proportion of film splits, split films have become more cost-effective and rare for Hollywood filmmakers, but with the popularity of "The Hunger Games" in North America.China Film will not let this cash cow run by a private company.

Since then, Rubik's Cube Films has also entered the China Film and Television Line.Sending one's own films to the mainland in the form of sub-accounts one after another is something that even well-known Hollywood independent film companies such as Lions Gate Peak may not be able to do. There is indeed some role of He Mu in it, and of course He Mu does not He would take his own favor in vain. Jeff hoped to get a share of film quotas to enter the mainland market, while He Mu hoped to find a strong partner for Chinese-language films in Hollywood. Jeff is in charge.With this time, He Mu will have more confidence in speaking in front of Jeff in the future.Rather than simply asking for help.

Although "The Hunger Games" is inextricably related to He Mu, He Mu has no time to promote it, because now the filming of "To Youth" has reached the final stage, Chen Xiaozheng has returned from abroad, and Lin Jing has also returned Appearing in Zheng Wei's world, the overall temperament of the movie becomes gloomy.

During the final period of filming, He Mu still had to finalize several film projects, the first being "Big Card 2", which sold more than [-] million last year.

From the beginning of "Golden Robbery", He Mu noticed that Ning Hao and Pentium Pony were very close, and also had a title of director on Pony Ma. Li Ming had picked up a treasure, but he didn't know what he had paid For the price, it seems that the film work after Galloping Horse will revolve around Ning Hao, which Shuimu Forest cannot do, so Ning Hao, who hesitated for a long time, finally did not agree to continue directing "Big Card 2".

Shuimu Forest has hired Hong Kong director Lin Chaoxian this time. Director Lin has proved his strength with many action police films such as "The Witness", "Informant" and "Reverse War". Yuanyuan has always had a good relationship. Director Chen strongly recommends him as a master who can stand up to Hong Kong-produced police and gangster films. He Mu is also willing to give it a try. After all, there is a lack of mature commercial film directors in the mainland, especially the police and gangster types.

The script of this film has already been polished and matured, and most of the preparatory work has been completed. It is planned to start in July. The starring lineup still continues Wu Jing, Huang Bo, and Wu Lei. The heroine was Liu Yifei last time. Controversial, and the wrist is big enough, so I can't fall behind this time. It's Yang Mi who is at the peak of popularity. He Mu can't stand it. , so I gave her the heroine of a movie that is destined to be a hit at the box office, so as to save him from saying that he treats her and Shishi more favorably than another when chatting at the party in the future. After all, He Mu also handpicked Tang Yan to star in "Lai Bao Diary".

The filming of the romantic comedy "Lai Bao's Diary" entrusted to the director of Wang Mingfei is going well, and it is expected to be finished next month and released within this year, which ensures that Shuimu Forest's film sources this year will not be too thin.

Also about to be finalized is "Panda Burning Incense" co-directed by Lan Mingzhu and Dewey Cook, which was adapted from real events. During the time when He Mu was filming "To Youth", the two have not been idle. With the help of the company, not only did he persuade actor Liu Ye to play the leading role in the film, Li Jun, the father of Panda Burning Incense, portrayed in detail a genius who disturbed the Internet world for the first time when he came into contact with computer programming, but also invited The Internet tycoons of that era, Zhou Hongyi, Lei Jun, Ma Yun, Chen Tianqiao, etc. appeared in the film, so although the director is not well-known, he has already attracted a lot of attention during the shooting process, and the topic is quite high. The company has decided to send the film to Tokyo International Film Festival, looking forward to receiving all the goods.

In addition, the director of "Watchmen: Lost in Evil", the director Fei Xing who made Shuimu Forest suffer badly, also came up with his new script, "Witness of All People", which is still amazing to read, so He Mu decided to star in this movie The lawyer Tong Tao in the movie, although Tong Tao is one of the male protagonists, but He Mu prefers another male protagonist, Lin Tai, a father who loves his daughter deeply. He Mu feels that he has a special feeling of a loving father now, but he is too young. To put it bluntly, Director Feixing prefers to invite Sun Honglei to play this role.

The director of this movie is well-prepared in all aspects, and it is expected to be launched in July, which means that after finishing the promotion of "Zibuyu 2", He Mu will star in "Witness of All People" and continue to guest star in "Big Brothers". Card 2", some are busy, that's not counting, Li Wenhua also came to join in the fun.
