Chapter 456 Big Wave Washes the Sand! (Second more please subscribe!)
The market at the beginning of each year is off-season. In the past two years, there has been an extra Spring Festival stall, and it has become popular.

However, since this year's Spring Festival stalls are also tepid, there is still no big difference from before.

In March, the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster "Battle of Los Angeles" was released, but this time it did not convert to 3D.

If this film is really converted into 3D, it is estimated that half of the audience in the cinema will vomit.

The director is very serious. The aliens in the film are shot with models and CG. In order to make the picture more realistic, most of the shots are shot with hand-held photography.

It's a bit like Li Rengang filming "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Remove Armor", regardless of other things, the action scenes are absolutely top-notch.

The lens of the hand-held photography method has obvious shaking, and then converts it into 3D. Audiences who are accustomed to motion sickness should vomit within 10 minutes of seeing it.

The movie is actually okay, the special effects are good, the plot.
Forget about the plot, Hollywood blockbusters never look at the plot, very American theme, music together, powerful momentum, aliens are not enough to watch, and the combat power does not exceed 5.

In the end, it is still a standard sensational ending, quite the main theme.

The box office is also good, with 3 million in 8500 days in the mainland, but the sales in North America are not good, with 3600 million US dollars in the first weekend and 10 million US dollars in 6000 days, there is no hope of breaking through [-] million.

In the same period, there was also a "Guanyin Mountain", which received nearly 6000 million box office in half a month.

Director Li Yu is also a good friend of Fan Binbin. She filmed the previous "Apple" and the later "Second Exposure".

After leaving Huayi, the films that Fan Binbin took over in the past few years were either Bernard's or Li Yu's. Although the box office was not high, they were nominated for many European film festivals.

"Apple" was nominated for the Berlin Golden Bear, "Guanyin Mountain" won the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the Dongjing Film Festival, and Fan Binbin also won the Dongjing Best Actress Award for this film.

There are domestic queens of Hundred Flowers and international queens of Dongjing, and they are all in place without making a fuss.

Moreover, the relationship between Li Yu and Fan Binbin is the best friend among girlfriends, and the kiss in public at the celebration banquet of "Guanyin Mountain" was still a tongue kiss.
Although there were no movies released at the beginning of the year, the major companies are not idle at all. A series of blockbuster movies are being filmed, and they will be released in time for the summer and Lunar New Year.

Tang An was perfecting the storyboard script in the office while listening to assistant Xiao He's report.

"Chairman, the 3D martial arts blockbuster "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" invested by China Film Group and Bernard Films officially launched yesterday."

"Well, Chen Kun's schedule has been coordinated with the other party. Let Director Wu arrange it himself, so don't delay the progress." Tang An nodded.

Xu Ke started out playing with technology, so it is not surprising to make a 3D movie this time.

Bernard is listed on NASDAQ, and there is no difficulty in renting a 3D equipment.

Mr. Xu also has both sides. The "Di Renjie" series started to cooperate with Hua Yi, and now he has found China Film and Bernard to shoot "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate".

After that, "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom" included Bernard, Youku, Bayi, Wanda, Huaying, and Dongfang Media.

"Journey to the West" has more investors from Bigo Group, Wuzhou Publishing, Moying, and Hengdian Film and Television.
It seems that apart from Guang Xian and Xiao Ma, Xu Ke has cooperated with major companies in the circle.

Guang Xian has recruited Xu Ke's apprentice, Cheng Jiashang, Xiao Ma has Wu Yusen, and Xu Ke has broken with him.

Tang An remembered that Shi Nansheng was already Bernard's director, and asked casually, "Is Shi Nansheng the producer of "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate"?"

"No, the producer is also Xu Ke, and Shi Nansheng is the producer." Xiao He replied.

Tang An shook his head. Even Shi Nansheng would be fine. Although the two of them divorced, their relationship is still very good.

Otherwise, Xu Ke would be unlucky. Regardless of him being a great director, Shi Nansheng's status in the circle would not be lower than hers, otherwise Yu Dong wouldn't have given her shares.

Xiao He then reported.

""Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has also been launched, with an investment of about 2.5 million to 3 million yuan. Zhang Weiping shouted the slogan of [-] million US dollars overseas."

"Did Jiang Zhiqiang not participate this time?" Tang An asked.

"Without Eucalyptus's investment, it is said that Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Weiping broke up." Xiao He shook his head and said.

History is really the same, Zhang Weiping, an egomaniac, kicked Jiang Zhiqiang away this time.

In the past, Zhang Yimou's films were joint ventures between New Screen and Eucalyptus. New Screen took the domestic share, and Eucalyptus took the overseas share. The specific investment was discussed.

But this time "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" invited Christian Bale to play the leading role. Zhang Weiping believed that "Thirteen Hairpins" would earn more money overseas than domestically, so he asked Jiang Zhiqiang to pay more.

As a result, Jiang Zhiqiang disagreed, and Zhang Weiping said that he was confident, and he invested all the money himself.

Therefore, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is also Zhang Yimou's only film since the new century that has not been invested by Eucalyptus, and it has been eaten up by new pictures.

I don't know where Zhang Weiping got his self-confidence, thinking that it will be sold overseas, so he wants to monopolize it.

And overseas copyrights are not yet bought out, Zhang Weiping directly and boldly asked for the model of guarantee + share.

As a result, overseas has completely hit the street. If it hadn't been for the domestic box office of [-] million yuan and barely repaying the bank loan, Zhang Weiping would have gone bankrupt.

None of Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, and Wang Changtian would have done this kind of thing. They are too stupid to put all their belongings on it. If they lose, they will have nothing.

This film also directly led to the closure of New Picture, and this film and television company, which relied solely on Zhang Yimou, withdrew from the competition for the Huaguo film market.

Except for the new screen, other companies are making progress. Guangxian has successively ordered several films such as "Tongque Terrace", "Four Famous Catchers", and "Speed ​​Angel".

In addition to "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate", Bernard also has "The Great Magician", "Great Shanghai", and "The Lion's Roar 2".

In addition to these established big companies, Huace began to set foot in the film industry, teamed up with Wanda Pictures and Meiya Entertainment to make a blockbuster film, and recruited Mai Chaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang as partners.

Juli Film and Television invested in "Legend of the White Snake" and invited Li Lian to partner with Huang Yiyi.

Xingguang International recruited Li Rengang and Tianwang Liming to adapt "Legend of Hongmen Banquet".

Dadi Cinema is also involved in film and television production, and will remake "A Chinese Ghost Story".

For Pony, Ning Hao's new film "The Golden Heist" is also in preparation.

It seems that the domestic film market has suddenly entered an era of blooming flowers, and more and more new companies have emerged and started to shoot blockbuster films.

Tang An chuckled and shook his head, probably because the 10 billion box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" stimulated these film companies, and also stimulated foreign capital.

How could these medium-sized companies have the courage to invest [-] to [-] million yuan to make a movie, and it is estimated that there is foreign capital behind it.

That is to say, BAT has not yet entered the arena, and Wanda has not yet become popular, otherwise it will be more lively.

But this is also a knockout game, with big waves washing the sand and leaving a lot of corpses on the beach.

It is estimated that half of these blockbuster films will have to be paid for. If they cannot be sold overseas, they will lose all their pants.

The last one left is the winner.
