Chapter 363 Brother An (please subscribe for the first update! ask for a monthly pass!)
This year's New Year's Eve came earlier. If you count the movies in January, there are seven or eight blockbuster movies.

Taking the lead is "Mulan", which will be released on the 27th, starring Chen Kun and Zhao Wei who just co-starred in "Painted Skin".

Bernard originally thought that "Painted Skin" starring them would earn [-] million at the box office, and "Mulan" starring the two would also have a guaranteed box office.

As a result, the box office did not meet the expected goal. On the first day of Friday, it only got 800 million yuan, on Saturday it rose by 50% and got 1200 million yuan, on Sunday it was also 1200 million yuan, and on the first weekend it was 3200 million yuan.

In the second week, 7 days again earned 4000 million yuan, and the total box office in 10 days was 7200 million.

According to this trend, it should be no problem to exceed [-] million.

However, in the case of a single day of 600 million last weekend, it only took less than 200 million at the box office yesterday and Monday, which completely collapsed.

The key is that the film's reputation is not bad, with a score of 6.2 on Douban, which is not low among costume blockbusters.

In the movie theater, Tang An met Zhang Ziming, director of Bernard's distribution department, and he was also very puzzled when he talked about the movie "Mulan".

"The publicity department has resorted to all means, and there are plenty of movies in theaters. According to the data from the survey company, word of mouth is not bad, but I don't know why yesterday's box office plummeted."

The theme is well-known, and the two leading actors are also one of the most popular in the Mesozoic era. Before "Painted Skin" was a big hit, and the quality of the movie was not good, I couldn't figure out where the failure was.

"Mr. Zhang, this is a common problem of Xiangjiang's directors. The beginning of the film is actually not bad. From Hua Mulan's joining the army to Hua Mulan's first murder, everything was filmed with ease.

There are a series of elements such as comedy, action, and love line. It can be regarded as a mature start for a commercial film, but it doesn’t matter how big the head is and how big the hat is. Directors who have not received domestic traditional cultural education will not understand the historical perspective and the essence of human nature. "

These Xiangjiang directors who came to the mainland to shoot costume films are all like birds, and they have to play deep.

"Certificate of Names" is actually a bit better, after all, not much is known about the assassination case.

But subjects like Hua Mulan and Chibi were abruptly ruined.

"Tang Dong, it's hard to find capable directors. The new directors in the Mainland in recent years, Ning Hao went to Xiaoma, and Xu Zheng and Wu Ershan were poached by you, Tang Dong." Zhang Ziming sighed.

Someone has to be responsible for the failure of a movie. The distribution is okay, the publicity is in place, the actors are okay, and the subject matter is okay. It can only be the director's problem.

"Actually, Hollywood's producer system is very reasonable. Americans also don't understand our history and culture, but Disney's "Mulan" cartoon made ten years ago is a fictional history. It is easy and funny, but the characters are very likable. , word of mouth is good."

"Mulan", filmed by Americans, took more than 3 million US dollars worldwide, ranking seventh in the year, and the mainland has 1100 million, ranking No. 9 in the mainland.

At that time, Cheng Long's "Glass Bottle" only had a box office of 2000 million, and "Rush Hour" 2500 million.

"Mr. Zhang, I heard that your overseas copyrights have been sold, and there is still a lot of money?" Tang An asked again.

"The sale is sold, a total of 8000 million, barely a loss."

Zhang Ziming sighed, out of the cost of 1.1 million yuan, 8000 million yuan was recovered overseas, and 3000 yuan in the mainland seems to be hanging.

"With distribution fees and TV rights, there is still a little profit."

"Let's not talk about this, I am more worried that this failure will affect "Painted Skin 2"."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Look at the reviews on the Internet. Most of the bad reviews are for the movie itself. As long as "Painted Skin 2" is filmed, don't worry about the box office." Tang An waved his hands.

"Hopefully."

Zhang Ziming talked, and the company's listing date has been set. In December next year, after the release of "Edge of Tomorrow", it will use its strength to hit the NASDAQ and become the first domestic film and television cultural stock in the United States.

Tang An was chatting with Zhang Ziming, and occasionally someone would come up to talk to him. Wu Bo, who was greeting guests not far away, stared at him resentfully.

A president, a director of the artist management department, and the company's only star were all poached by Tang An.

Coupled with the previous strategic mistakes in the acquisition of Chengtian, the stock price fell again and again, and Wang Jinghua took the original artists to establish his own company, and Chengtian almost fell apart.

Now he only hopes that the box office of "Fengyun 2" will give him some strength and give him a chance to turn around.

Wu Bo straightened his collar, put away the anger on his face, put on a smiling face, and walked forward.

"Tang Dong, Mr. Zhang, welcome to join us."

"Hi, Dong Wu."

"I wish Wu Dong's new movie a big hit, and don't forget to invite me to the celebration banquet." Tang An laughed.

"Definitely." Wu Bo suppressed the anger in his heart and said without smiling.

It's useless to be angry at this time, so it's impossible to point Tang An's nose and scold him, and he will only be the one who is embarrassed.

Ai Hui no longer injected capital into Chengtian, and it is difficult to raise funds under the current situation. No one would want to sell Jiahe. The most urgent thing is to get through this difficulty first.

After a few words, the premiere ceremony officially started, and the reaction at the scene was still very enthusiastic, after all, Fengyun is not a small IP.

Movies are like that, full of stunt fighting, avalanches of crashes and blows.

There is no foreshadowing, no plot, no climax, and it unfolds inexplicably. People who have never read comics and TV dramas probably don't know what it is talking about.

In fact, even if you have read comics and TV series, you are still at a loss.

The male protagonists are all martial arts machines, even when facing beautiful women, they don't even raise their eyebrows.

The ultimate big boss, Jue Wushen, died ahead of time, and nearly one-third of it turned into an exhibition match between the two brothers, with all kinds of brilliant stunts.

There is almost no literary drama in the whole film, but after careful counting, there are almost 100 lines in a 200-minute film, and dozens of lines were wasted by Cai Zhuoyan and Tang Yan calling "Brother Feng" and "Brother Yun".

Tang Yan's appearance is also not good-looking, the stylist should be dragged and shot.

But watching Tang Yan yelling at Brother Yun one by one in the movie, some unsavory images suddenly flashed in his mind.

With a thought, he moved to the side and whispered something in Tang Yan's ear.

Tang Yan, who was watching the movie seriously, blushed all the way to his neck.

Tang Yan pinched the hem of the skirt, blushing and shaking his head.

At night, in the bedroom of a five-star hotel room, even with the heater turned on, it can feel cold.
