After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 415: The horrific summer season

The Adventures of Li Xianji emerged like a dark horse.

But the good days did not last long, and Li Xianji's problems were exposed.

A 20-minute animation, expanded into a 1 hour and 40-minute movie, is too long...

Even so, many viewers still don't understand it. It's really because jet lag is too unimmersive.

Only the animation part received generally positive reviews.

Many viewers came with high hopes but left disappointed, the reputation was neither good nor bad, and not many people discussed it.

After the first weekend, Li Xianji's box office began to decline continuously.

Arrived on the 30th.

Li Xianji earned a total box office of 3110 million, which was a return on investment.

If you want the box office to be higher, there’s no chance.

On July 7st, The Founding of the Party was released!

As soon as it was released, it knocked Kung Fu Panda 9, which had grossed over 2 million, off the Japanese box office and took the top spot with 3200 million.

It grossed 1.2 million yuan in box office revenue in the first three days of its first weekend, becoming the domestic film with the best first weekend performance this year.

This movie is pretty weird, Douban doesn't even give a score, and doesn't allow comments...

……

On July 7, Witch passed the review without any cuts.

Famous Entertainment.

Li Mingyang looked through the detailed box office trends of all the movies released this year.

I discovered a problem, that is, in the first half of this year, domestic films were extremely bad.

Since Your Name was taken off the screen, no domestic film has grossed over 200 million yuan.

It's as if it has absorbed the luck of domestic films.

The highest grossing movie now is Zhen Zhidan's Guan Yu with 1.93 million, and that's after using ticket subsidies.

This movie sucks...

The whole story can be summed up as: Jiang Wen, let Donnie Yen fly.

The second is New Shaolin Temple. This movie could actually have earned 2 million yuan, but it was overshadowed by Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 1.73, and only earned million yuan.

The third place is the Warring States Period with 1.56 million.

The third-ranked domestic film of the year...was criticized by the entire Internet, but because there were so many people criticizing it, Guangguang and Wanda couldn’t find out who exactly was criticizing it.

Wang Dajun of Huayi and Boss Yang of Yinghuang both swore to Lao Wang that they had not done anything.

The two of them may have done nothing, but no one knows whether their subordinates did anything.

After Warring States was taken off the screen, Jing Tian finally realized how awesome his own Warring States was, and his mood immediately improved.

I can only say that this year's domestic films are too miserable...

A comparison!

The Warring States Period is not the worst, and we can even boast about its box office performance.

At the same time, Li Mingyang's good days came to an end. Jing Tian was in a good mood and began to torture him, forcing him to learn English.

Li Mingyang took the college entrance examination, English test, he chose C for all the answers, and handed in the paper in five minutes...

And Jing Tian’s English level…although not as fluent and natural as it was later, it was still better than Li Bingbing’s poor English.

Li Mingyang doesn't plan to learn English and speaks Chinese directly. Who stipulated that one must speak English when going to Hollywood?

The box office level of domestic films this year is actually not bad if compared with last year.

But compared with Hollywood blockbusters, it is simply a disaster.

Eight Hollywood blockbusters have grossed over 2 million yuan, Kung Fu Panda has grossed over million yuan, and the key has been extended for one month.

It is very likely to become the first movie to break one billion this year!
Pirates of the Caribbean 5 will be released on May 20, with Thor and Fast & Furious 5 before it and Kung Fu Panda 2's Sniper after it.

It actually earned 7.3 million at the box office!
Fast & Furious 4.5, million box office!
Battle of Los Angeles, box office of 4.1 million!
Thor, box office of 3.3 million!
……

There is a world of difference between domestic films and Hollywood films.

Hollywood + ticket subsidies are simply a disaster for domestic films.

It was Zuoshandiao's founding of the party that sounded the clarion call for a counterattack.

Zuoshandiao shouted the slogan of breaking 7 million!

I gave myself an unlimited ticket subsidy! 5.9 yuan!
Swallowed up all the IMAX theaters.

All the major ticket subsidy software followed suit, opening pop-up windows on their homepages to promote the founding of the party, and also booking the venue with the government and connections...

There were also hundreds of ghost shows.

It's simply a combination of all five evils... almost all of the tricks that everyone used in last year's box office war were used again.

Although I am very good at brushing, I have no rivals.

But the effect was quite average...the box office in the first three days of the weekend was only 1.2 million.

In the first four days of its weekend, If You Are the One 2 grossed 2.64 million yuan.

Let the Bullets Fly grossed 1.91 million yuan in the first four days of its weekend.

Your Name grossed 1.3 million yuan in its first three days of the weekend.

We worked so hard to build the party, but it’s still a summer movie.

Unable to break the record of three people.

Li Mingyang couldn't help but wonder how much box office his "Witch" could earn?
Hollywood+ ticket subsidies are undoubtedly a disaster.

The Hollywood sci-fi action blockbuster "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" will be released simultaneously in North America and around the world on June 6 (Wednesday), with the North American premiere in as many as 29 theaters.

It grossed $3770 million on its premiere day, setting a new opening day box office record this year.

Entering the weekend, Transformers 3 continued to make money. From Friday to Sunday, the film grossed $9740 million in the North American market, topping the box office chart with an absolute advantage, and also created the highest opening weekend box office this year.

The power of Transformers 3 has swept the world, with many regions around the world topping the daily championship.

Transformers 3 is scheduled to be released in China on July 7st.

The Witch was also released on this day.

Transformers 3 is already scary... second place in the global box office in 2011!
There is an even more painful one later...

The release date of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 7 was set a few days ago. It will be released in North America on July 15 and officially in China on August 8.

The Harry Potter series is known as a global box office harvester, and the last film even topped the global box office champion in 2011.

Transformers 3 and Harry Potter are competing in the same time slot.

The battle for the championship between the two has spread across the globe.

Although Harry was the global champion, in mainland China, he lost to Transformers 3.

The two sides are fighting hard in various box office markets around the world, and in mainland China... Transformers 3 is in a crushing state, with a box office of over billion, beating Harry Potter and the Hunger Games movie which grossed less than million.

Beat Harry so hard that he lost his mind...

The reputation of "Warring States" fell below the lower limit of domestic films, but the box office was unexpectedly okay.

Ranked third at the domestic box office.

Because of the good box office, Jing Tian’s self-confidence suddenly increased, and her princess syndrome became more and more serious.

Li Mingyang really wanted to use the witch to pour cold water on Jing Tian, ​​to make him feel cold all over.

But Transformers 3 and Harry Potter are coming on strong, coupled with the poor current situation of domestic films.

Almost no one thought that "The Witch" could get a good box office amidst the competition between two blockbusters.

Including Li Mingyang himself.

In the film industry this year, Zuoshandiao encouraged malicious competition, and the Warring States period was bombed so badly.

Part of the reason is that others can't bear to see Jing Tian doing well, and another part of the reason is that the higher-ups don't care.

Whether it is a domestic film or a Hollywood blockbuster, we treat them equally.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan flopped at the box office...someone bought a black notice and started predicting its failure before it even hit theaters.

Li Mingyang looked through the box office trends and scratched his head. "Boss Wang, how much do you predict Witch will earn?"

"How many tickets do you plan to use to make up the difference?" Wang Changtian smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"How much are you willing to pay?" Li Mingyang asked with a smile.

"You speak first."

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian started arguing. The quality of The Witch was good, but... neither of them had confidence in getting a good box office.

"Mr. Zhang, how much are you prepared to pay?"

Wang Changtian kept arguing, and Li Mingyang looked at Zhang Zhao.

The distributors of The Witch are China Film, Light Media, and LeTV.

"888 million, everyone make money, hahaha."

"Let's round it up. The light output is 112 million."

"Since you guys are out, I won't be out."

Li Mingyang's straightforwardness made the two of them helpless.

But they didn't care about the witch, although Li Mingyang's witch performed as stably as always.

The special effects are breathtaking and the fights are bloody and violent.

But the genre of art + suspense + action is not popular in the country...

Especially when faced with Hollywood popcorn blockbusters, they are completely powerless to fight back.

And the most important point is whether Liu Shishi can support the box office?
If it can’t hold up, many viewers will wait for high-definition pirated copies….

After the New Year, the country relaxed its control and high-definition piracy made a comeback.

If high-definition pirated copies hadn't been released so quickly, the box office of Hollywood movies would be even more horrible.

Even if the authorities deliberately condone this, up to now, the total box office of the mainland film market has still doubled compared to the same period last year...

"When will your Love in the Wind end?" Zhang Zhao asked.

Love Under The Graveyard will start filming in Shanghai on July 7.

Although filming has started, it has not officially begun yet because it involves shooting in multiple locations and requires communication and coordination.

Originally, Li Mingyang was going to film A Flowing River, and Huace was very satisfied with the cast from top to bottom.

But Li Mingyang underestimated the difficulty of this play. As soon as he put forward the shooting plan, he was severely criticized by several producers of Huace...

Period dramas need to realistically reproduce the background and cultural atmosphere of a specific historical period. This requires the crew to be extremely meticulous in terms of costumes, props, and scene layout in order to create a true sense of the times.

In addition, there is the depth and purpose of the story, the matching degree between the actors and the roles, etc.

As for the costumes and props of period dramas, Huace has rich experience in producing serious dramas and has a mature system, so there is no need to worry.

However, if the great rivers and lakes are to reflect a sense of time, real scenes must be taken.

According to the plot of the novel, there are too many filming locations involved, covering the entire world.

Two months is not enough time for a director.

Only by shooting in groups, at least three groups, can the entire shooting be completed within four months.

After a long discussion, it was finally decided that "A Flowing River" would be filmed next year, and "Fall in Love with You" would be filmed this year.

Hu Ge had no objection, he just wanted to finish the TV series as soon as possible and go film Weathering With You.

After a whole day of hard work, I started filming Love Under the Moon.
