Chapter 498 Zhang Weiping is over, the new picture is over. (Second more please subscribe!)
2011 is almost over, and this year's Lunar New Year stalls did not disappoint the audience.

The three movies have always maintained a very good reputation, and they can all be regarded as popular and well-received.

The three major companies racked their brains for publicity and arranging films. After Zhang Weiping "blocked" the movie theaters owned by Berner for 9 days, he finally provided copies to Berner.

But Yu Dong's temper came up, and he would rather earn less money than show "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

The conflict between the two sides deepened again, Zhang Weiping couldn't get angry, and once again got into a fight with Yu Dong, and a large number of navy soldiers began to appear, spouting the two movies "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate".

""Jinling B-hairpin" is too politically correct. Prostitutes must be fucked to death, and female students must retreat. Every paragraph demonstrates Zhang Yimou's high-end features. Far-fetched transitions, clueless narrative , Vomiting and sensational, plagiarized "Schindler's List" + "The Undertaker", I strongly hope that Zhang Yimou will refund the money."

This is one of the most liked comments on a professional website. In just seven or eight hours, there were more than 40 comments, and various abuses emerged one after another.

It also plagiarized "Schindler's List" and "The Undertaker". Simply saying that plagiarizing "Refuge" is a little more convincing.

At that time, the writer Li Si created the novel "Jinling Song Girl", which was adapted into the movie "Refuge", directed by Han Sanping.

In addition to Li Si, the screenwriter also has Yan Geling's husband Li Kewei.

Yan Geling also came into contact with the script, but did not participate in the creation.

A few years ago, Yan Geling wrote the book "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which has now been adapted into a movie of the same name.

The real story structure of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is basically the same as the movie "Refuge".

"Refuge" tells the story of a small city in the south of my country was captured by the Japanese army in 38, and the church where Bishop Holden of the United States lived became a refuge.

Celebrity prostitutes Yang Liufeng, Hu Cuihua and actor Xiao Caiyue came to take refuge and messed up the church.

Holden asks the Red Cross to take them away with the choir girls, but unexpectedly another wounded Chinese soldier comes to seek refuge.

Hattori, a Japanese military officer, first broke in and killed the wounded soldier, and then tried to rape the choir girl, but was stopped by Holden.

Ke Gesi, who was in charge of the rescue, did not come. At the critical moment, the three of Yang Liufeng stepped forward to replace the choir girl and boarded the Japanese army car.

Yang Liufeng detonated the bomb, and the three miserable women protested the atrocities of the invaders with their lives, and died together with the Japanese.

Is there an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which is almost the same as the outline of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".

But almost no one mentions it, why?
Just because "Refuge" and "Jinling Showgirl" are not well-known, while "Schindler's List" and "The Undertaker" are more famous, and they are still foreign films.

In particular, "The Undertaker" is a Japanese film.

A Chinese-language movie with the background of the Anti-Japanese War is more likely to be attacked if it plagiarizes a Japanese movie.

Just because the priest in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is a mortician, he put on a hat and said that he plagiarized the movie "The mortician".
There are all kinds of abuse. Some say that Zhang Yimou can only rely on stories about women in bed to attract box office.
"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" is the same. Spraying a movie has no plot, just like watching people playing games.

Some said they couldn't stand Li Yuchun acting as a woman, and even fell in love with Chen Kun.

Originally, at the beginning of the new screen, Yu Dong also did a lot of negative marketing for "The Martian", but after finding that it was not effective, he still put all his energy on promoting his own movie.

It was peaceful for a while last week, and each promoted their own, but now New Picture and Berner are working together again, attacking each other, and creating a mess.

The weekend is gradually passing, and this weekend coincides with Christmas, but the limited film schedule is still difficult to make the box office explode.

1.18 million in two days, and a total box office of 18 billion in 11.35 days, officially surpassing "Edge of Tomorrow" with 11.34 billion, becoming the new Chinese film box office champion.

And there is only a gap of 4000 to [-] million from this year's box office champion "Transformers".

"Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" earned 1.02 million in two days over the weekend, with a total box office of 4.66 million.

"Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" earned 9500 million in two days, with a total box office of 4.27 million!
In the past week, "The Martian" made 3.32 million in a single week, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" made 2.62 million in a single week, and "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" made 2.41 million in a single week.

Last week, the market was as high as 8.35 million, surpassing the 8.23 million last week, and once again created a new single-week box office record in the mainland film market.

整个十二月到目前25号为止，单月票房达到了超过20亿，其中20.3亿是从8号到25号这18天产出的。

The domestic film market once again exploded with amazing potential, which attracted the attention of the entire film and television circle.

On the night of Monday, December 12th, Tang An led the crew to end the day's trip, and rushed to the airport again for the next scene.

Tang An did not hold a celebration banquet even after breaking the record for a Chinese-language movie.

If we really want to do it, we should do one today, and in two days, we will do another one after surpassing "Transformers 3" and winning the annual championship.

Just wait until "Avatar" is over before doing it. Judging from the current situation, it is basically a certainty.

In the business car heading to the airport, Tang An lay on a chair and squinted for a while.

As Tang An's assistant, Xiao He is recording some things arranged by Tang An and checking the itinerary for the next two days.

Suddenly there was an extra email in the mailbox, which was sent by the person in charge of the overseas distribution department stationed in North America.

The content of the email is the screening status of "Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" in North America and other regions.

"Chairman." Xiao He gently pushed Tang An.

"Ok?"

Tang An didn't sleep very hard either, and woke up immediately.

"Chairman, the data for the first day of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" in North America is out."

"Let me see."

Tang An took the laptop.

Originally, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was released in North America on the 23rd, but the distributor did not arrange a large number of films from the beginning.

In the first two days, it was only screened in more than a dozen movie theaters, and I wanted to do word-of-mouth marketing.

On Sunday, the 25th, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" began to be shown in North America on a scale of 1200 movie theaters.

Zhang Yimou + Bell, even if it is a movie with the background of the Anti-Japanese War, the distributor has won 1200 movie theaters.

However, the box office was not as good as expected.

Looking at the data above, Tang An wasn't surprised at all. It would be a ghost if he could sell it.

I don't know where Zhang Weiping's confidence comes from, thinking that foreign audiences can buy it just because of "Master Wayne" who just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor?

For this reason, Zhang Weiping also kicked out Jiang Zhiqiang, who had worked with him for ten years, and wanted to win even the overseas cake. I really don't know who gave him the confidence.

25 on the first day, and the opening scale of 1200 movie theaters got a box office of 25 US dollars on the first day.

This number has basically sentenced the movie to death.

Last year, "Edge of Tomorrow" got a first-day box office of 1600 million US dollars with an opening scale of 280 movie theaters. .

In other words, the average number of people per game of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is only one-eighth of that of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Originally, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" had a box office of 32 US dollars in North America, but it got 25 on the first day, which is a lot.

However, this data will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in subsequent films, and in the end there will be a box office of 50.

"The new picture is over, Zhang Weiping is over."

Tang An smiled and shook his head, then continued to lie down on the chair and fell asleep.
