After the slump in the new year passed, the domestic film market became active again starting in April. There was Qingming Festival at the beginning of April, May Day at the end of the month, the Dragon Boat Festival in June, and the summer vacation immediately.

Although there is only a three-day long holiday, more and more movies are released in China every year, and the competition for popular schedules is too fierce. They all belong to the world of big groups and big directors, and it is difficult for others to get their hands on them.

However, there are not many blockbuster films in this short holiday, and most of them are small and medium-budget films.

Comedies are the majority. In early April, there was "The Car on the Journey", which followed the popularity of "People on the Journey". It is also a comedy film, starring Pan Changjiang, Guo Degang, and Zhang Xinyu.

There are comedians and beautiful female stars with hot bodies, which are standard for low-budget funny movies.

The director is also very smart, the protagonist is relatively down-to-earth, and many plots are closely related to life.

Although it was a vulgar comedy, there was a lot of scolding, but it sold well.

After 20 days of release, the box office reached 3000 million, which is considered a great success for a small-budget film.

The action sci-fi blockbuster "Super Battleship" starring Liam Neeson was released in China for 5 days, with a box office of more than 1.2 million.

Now, any blockbuster movie in Hollywood can exceed [-] million at the box office, and [-] to [-] million has become commonplace, and the domestic box office is almost catching up with North America.

This broken movie is only 6000 million US dollars in North America, and it seems that it will go to [-] million in China.

Of course, there are also those who hit the street. The box office of Nicolas Cage's new movie "Soul Chariot 2", which is very famous in China, was less than 2500 million in three days.

If you want to shoot a well-known Hollywood star in China, Cage will definitely be on the list, but the box office has repeatedly hit the street.

Last year, the fantasy blockbuster "Season of the Witch" had less than 4000 million domestic sales, and the action crime movie "Furious Speed" had more than 5000 million domestic sales.There is also "Illegal Invasion" co-starring with the actress Nicole Kidman, which also hit the street
The previously released "Super Battleship" swept the Ching Ming Festival schedule, and then another "big ship" was also released.

The most important blockbuster in April is "Titanic 4D". This blockbuster that swept the world 3 years ago has been recast for more than half a year, and it has once again met the global audience.

It was screened in North America and overseas more than a week earlier, and the results were mediocre. It took half a month after it was released in North America, and the box office will break through 5000 million US dollars.

However, compared with the cold reception overseas, the country has exploded with amazing box office potential.

6 million in 4.6 days in the first week, breaking the first week record of the domestic film market created by "Transformers 3", and raising this record by nearly 5000 million.

当然，《泰坦尼克号3D》6天4.6亿肯定比不了《变形金刚3》4天4.16亿的。

Even so, this data is shocking enough, after all, it is a movie from more than ten years ago, and it is everywhere on the Internet.

But it is also reasonable, after all, most of the younger generation have not seen this movie on the big screen, so it is not surprising to revisit the classic.

It broke the box office record for the first week, and the media also caught on. If it breaks one billion yuan, it is expected to break the box office record of "Avatar" and even the box office record of "The Martian".

However, the box office in the second week poured cold water on these people.

2.7 million, the drop in the second week was too large, and it was impossible to break the record.

After all, it is a re-screening. Most of the audience who wanted to watch it went to watch it immediately, and the decline will be even greater later.

On the afternoon of April 4st, at Tang An's house, he asked the cinema to send a copy, and he was watching the nearly 21-minute movie with Yang Mi.

More than three hours, just passed in one afternoon.

The plot is still the same, and the 3D effect is also good. After all, Cameron spent a lot of money for half a year to convert it.

Especially for several important shots, it can be said that the limit of conversion has been achieved.

Ruth wanted to jump into the sea. When she met Jack, she said that if you jump, I will jump. I feel that the sea below is very deep.

There is also the classic flying bow shot, which has a very good three-dimensional effect and the special effects of the sky are beautiful.

The more exciting thing is when you hit the iceberg.

After the movie was shown, Yang Mi was still muttering, "The scene of Jack's portrait of Rose was really cut out."

Tang An said, "You can't show frontal nude scenes. This is a deadly rule. Aren't you scolding everywhere?"

When it was released in 98, it was allowed to be revealed, but now it is not allowed. Optoelectronics has often been scolded by the audience.

Yang Mi said with some regret, "I think many people are saying that they cut it out of consideration that some people will reach out and touch it while watching the movie, which will affect the audience's viewing experience."

Tang An was speechless, "You also believe this, it's just a joke uploaded on the Internet."

Although it is a joke, there are still many people who believe it.

And the real guarantee is not uniform. Some viewers subconsciously stretched out their hands when they saw the whole fruit shot. If they were seen by the surrounding audience, they would be really ashamed.

Cameron, who was far away across the ocean, also believed it was true. He really thought it was cut for this reason, and complained many times on TV shows.

Yang Mi said again, "It's a joke. I thought it was true. Didn't "Lust, Caution" also show up, and "Miami Vice" too."

""Miami Vice" is not positive, it is a bit secretive, "Lust, Caution" has been deleted."

"Have you deleted it? Why do I remember not deleting it?"

".Did you confuse the DVD version with the release version?"

"I can't remember either." Yang Mi was a little confused.

Only then did Tang An come to his senses, "Okay, you watched it secretly, didn't you!"

"Didn't I watch it with you, a limited edition collector's edition DVD!" Yang Mi said quickly, suddenly remembered something, and her face turned red.

"Oh yes."

Tang An remembered, out of curiosity that day, did he really do it, and did some research.

Convert the DVD to MPG format, and then watch it frame by frame with a video encoding conversion tool software, pick some key pictures, and then increase the brightness.

I can see something, but I can't be 100% sure.

After all, when people edit, they also come frame by frame, and any loopholes will be filled in.

It is purely curiosity and idle panic, and many movie fans are the same, watching and analyzing frame by frame can be completed with two software on and off the computer.

It was not too early after looking at the time, Tang An patted Yang Mi and stood up, "The premiere of "Golden Heist" is about to start in more than three hours, you are the heroine, don't go back to the studio to pack up ?”

"I'm not the heroine. Sister Tao Hong is, and I'm the second female lead." Yang Mi curled her lips.

"Isn't the female number two also the protagonist, let's get ready soon, see you tonight."

"Golden Heist" should be Ning Hao's third movie that the audience has seen. Most people probably haven't seen the first two movies, and a game promotional video.

In 2006, "Crazy Stone" made him famous as a ghost director. In 09, "Crazy Racing" stepped into the [-] million club.

With the precedent of Xu Zheng, who is also a comedy director, basically no one thinks that this film will not be a big hit.

Li Ming and Ning Hao, the chairman of Colts, were also full of confidence before and expressed their dominance in May [-]st.

Although they met a big ship, the release time of the two was half a month apart, and they were not of the same type. The industry was also optimistic about this movie.

In fact, in the past two years, comedy movies have exploded one after another, and the new films of Cheng Long and Zhou Xingchi are also comedy movies. The comedy genre seems to have become the mainstream of the market, just like the ancient costume blockbusters back then.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Tang An came to the premiere scene.

As one of the six giants, and a director with a bright future like Ning Hao, many people came here.

After saying hello to his acquaintances one by one, Li Ming seemed to be full of confidence, and he was not at all afraid of facing the big ship.

Not only these old friends, the former deputy general manager of China Film Group, Zhang Qiang, the CEO of Ahli Pictures, which has been registered but not formally established, also came. This is the first time he has appeared in public in two or three months.

Zhao Wei was also with him, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

It has only been more than half a year since Zhang Qiang joined China Film Group. He was the chairman of Forbidden City Films before, and Tang An had never met him a few times, so he didn't come forward to say hello.

However, as soon as the other party came in, he looked this way, smiled at Tang An, and walked straight over with Zhao Wei.
