Chapter 577 Buy Box Office! (The first update asks for a subscription!)
In an office of Renyi, Li Rengang, who had already confirmed the contract with Guangxian, immediately came to visit He Jiping, the screenwriter of the film.

In the domestic film industry, whether it is the mainland or Xiangjiang, screenwriters often take orders from the director.

But some gold medal screenwriters can have great autonomy.

This is the status obtained by writing a series of blockbuster movie scripts, and He Jiping is such a big-name screenwriter.

Although Li Rengang is the director, he still came to see her personally, and the two sides agreed on the general outline of the script.

The director is the controller of the film, and he must at least be consistent with the screenwriter in the general direction.

The specific details are up to the screenwriter to fill in.

It's just that the first part has already fixed the big frame, which is basically a semi-original story.

Based on this situation, it is impossible for them to overthrow the background of the movie, and then adapt a big story from the original work.

In that case, it would be wrong to call it the second part. Viewers who have watched the first part will be confused when they watch the second part.

After several hours of deliberation, it was basically determined that the background was the seizure of power by the emperor and the queen mother, which also explained An Shigeng's motives.

The positive and negative positioning of the prince is blurred, and the end of the third part gives an open ending.

The main thing is the style of the film. Although this is a martial arts film, Wen Rui'an's novels all have some magical flavors. How to balance the overall style, especially the fighting style, is the most important thing for a martial arts film.

After talking for a whole morning, after deciding on the overall style, Li Rengang came out with an outline of the script and talked about it in detail.

After leaving the Renyi Building, the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

While walking, he picked up his phone and glanced at the number.

Li Rengang sneered, connected the phone, and said "Hello" indifferently.

"It's Director Cheng, what's the matter?"

On the phone, Cheng Jiashang suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm himself down, "Director Li, you have accepted the sequel of "The Four Famous Arrests"?"

"That's right, I'll be next." Li Rengang said lightly.

This indifference made Cheng Jiashang curse inwardly, but he still forced a smile and said, "Director Li should have no shortage of film appointments in the mainland, why would he want to take over this business?"

Li Rengang sneered, "Why, do I have to report to Director Cheng for any film I accept?"

Faced with Li Rengang's mocking question, Cheng Jiashang, who was already on the verge of fury, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. Who told Cheng Dao that you are Xu Ke's apprentice? When Xu Ke helped me make a sequel, I reluctantly made a sequel for you."

Li Rengang finished speaking coldly, without talking nonsense, and hung up the phone directly.

"call!"

Looking at the busy street outside, Li Rengang heaved a sigh of relief, feeling much happier.

At that time, he became famous with "Nine Yin Scriptures" and "94 One-armed Sword", and was praised by Chuck as the third-generation master of romantic martial arts. own style.

A "Black Man" sold well all over the world, with box office and video revenue of more than 8000 million US dollars.

Although it is starring Li Lianlian, and the script is also jointly written by Xu Ke and Xu Anhua, but the whole film is full of Li Rengang's personal style, which also made him reach the pinnacle of his directorial career.

Immediately after preparing for the second part, Xu Ke kicked him away from his own director. The conflict between Li Lianlian and Xu Ke further intensified and he withdrew from the second part.

Although he also entered the Japanese and Korean markets with "Xingyue Fairy Tale" after that, it has been declining.

It was even reduced to filming the TV series "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng: Before and After the Decisive Battle" starring Lin Zhiying.

In the end, it was New Century that made a comeback with the two films "Ahu" and "Raptor", and successively received several blockbuster costume films.

But there was a delay of 12 years in the middle. From "Black Man" to "Raptor", it took 12 years before I had the opportunity to direct a large production with an investment of hundreds of millions.

Originally, when "Seven Swords" lost to Tang An in China, he didn't know how happy he was. "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" invited Li Lianlian to be rejected and found Liu Dehua again. He wished Xu Ke could fail again.

Unexpectedly, "Tongtian Empire" was a success at the box office, and after Yu Dong negotiated a peace, Li Lianlian was persuaded to shoot "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", which was another big success.

There was nothing he could do about Xu Ke, and he happened to bump into half of Xu Ke's apprentice, so he had avenged half of his revenge!
On the other end, Cheng Jiashang hung up the phone with an angry face.

It was true that Li Rengang and Xu Ke did not deal with each other, and Cheng Jiashang did not expect that he would pick up his own mess because of this matter.

Li Rengang didn't give him face, he had already accepted the sequel, and he couldn't help it.

"I want to see what you can do with the second film!"

Now Cheng Jiashang can only watch how Li Rengang's second film hit the street!
A "Four Famous Catchers 2" caused quite a stir in the circle. Guangxian recruited the combination of gold medal screenwriter He Jiping + third-generation martial arts director Li Rengang, and gave up the original director Cheng Jiashang. There are more conversations in the time.

Especially the grievances and enmities among them, it is also a good topic to talk about after dinner, or when you are busy.

However, the film market approaching the Spring Festival is still booming, and most of the eyes are still on the film.

On January 1th, "The Great Master" directed by Wang Jiawei was long overdue. This kung fu film, which started shooting at the end of 8, refreshed Wang Jiawei's best performance in the Mainland.

6 million in 1.8 days in the first week, nearly 20 million in [-] days.

On January 1, "League of the Lost Treasure", which had previously broken 15 box office records in South Korea and attracted nearly 17 million moviegoers, broke the box office record in South Korea's film history.

On January 1, "21 Skyfall" landed in the mainland film market, and Bond once again broke the series' best record.

首周7天2.3亿，仅一周就超过08年上映的《007大破量子危机》的1.2亿。

"Pleasant Goat", a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival stalls, was not absent this year. It won 4 million box office in 6500 days, breaking [-] million as steadily as a dog.

The box office of another animated film "Balala Little Demon Fairy" was also good, earning 4 million box office in 2900 days.

"Rocke Kingdom", which is also an animated film, got 11 million box office in 5000 days.

Now more and more animated films are released during the Spring Festival, all of which are aimed at the children's market, and there are continuous adaptations of cartoons and games.

However, another Chinese-Korean 3D animation film "Pororo Ice Adventure" faced the encirclement and suppression of several domestic action movies and returned home.

This blockbuster animation, which is said to have invested [-] million yuan, just broke through [-] million yuan just ten days after it was released, and was hanged and beaten by Pleasant Goat, Xiao Moxian and Locke.

The sci-fi suspense film "Cloud Atlas" starring Tom Hanks and Zou Xun had a mediocre domestic box office, earning 7600 million box office in four days.

This movie is composed of a book, six stories, a span of thousands of years, and more than [-] characters. It is difficult to find similar movies in recent years.

However, in the eyes of Chinese audiences, the whole thing is so troublesome, and it can be explained clearly with the words "six paths of reincarnation".

Although it is a bit messy, there is a good connection between the stories that are not awkward, and there are several times when the actor's lines in the previous story melt into the screens of the next story without a trace.

However, this kind of film is unlikely to sell high box office no matter what, even the audience in the United States still didn't buy it, and only got 2680 million US dollars.

It's a good movie, but not one that most audiences will want to see.

There is such a comment on Weibo: This movie is like a detective novel full of philosophical metaphors written in ancient Latin by a dick with an IQ of 320. The only value of its existence is to humiliate the reading habits of ordinary people, because anyway, dick I didn't even intend to ask everyone to write a book review for him.

It's a bit extreme, but it does take some brains, although it's much simpler than the original.

The most amazing thing about this movie is that black people sometimes become white people, people of yellow race sometimes become white people, women sometimes become men, and if you are not familiar with the actors or you are face-blind, it is easy to not even recognize people.

For example, Zou Xun played a male manager of a hotel, a female clone, and a big blond horse. No, the little horse is similar.

Those few foreign actors, those who don't know them, really can't recognize them.

The make-up artist for this film must have studied in China, otherwise, how could the make-up skills be so good.

In addition to these movies released in January, among other movies in the Lunar New Year file, "Longling Miku" has already been drawn, with a final box office of 12.75 billion, ranking No.2 in the box office of Chinese film history.

The box office of "[-]" failed to break through the [-] million mark.

"The Chinese Zodiac" is still in theaters. Since Huayi and Nuomi Films have invested 2400 million tickets, and Nuomi.com is fully promoting the group buying business, the box office once again ushered in a big explosion one month after its release.

A large number of 9.9, 19.9, and even Nuomi.com’s group purchases have launched special movie tickets with a group purchase price of 5 yuan, and the box office has been soaring.

In just over two weeks, it soared from 8.84 million to 10.01 billion.

You must know that the fifth week of release is only 5900 million yuan. Commercial blockbusters generally have a one-month release cycle, and then the box office begins to decline.

However, "Zodiac" was in the sixth week of its release. Relying on a large amount of ticket subsidies and Huayi's commitment to the theaters, the subsequent box office share dropped from 43% to 35%. The theaters also gave the greatest support and arranged A large number of Yellow Turban scenes are arranged.

In the sixth week, "Zodiac" achieved a reverse decline, earning 6100 million, and still won 5200 million in the seventh week, with a total box office of 9.97 million in the seven weeks of release.

The ticket subsidy has already been used up, Huayi has spent another 500 million, and Nuomi Movie has also paid 100 million.

In the next eighth week, there are only 5 days before the Spring Festival.

On Monday, "Zodiac" successfully broke through the one billion mark, becoming the fifth film in Chinese film history to break one billion, and the only action movie.

The market value of Huayi also broke through the 108 billion mark for the first time at the opening of the day, and reached [-] billion in the afternoon.

For a while, Huayi was in the limelight, not only on the entertainment page, but also on the economic page, and Huayi was also busy promoting it.

However, on February 2th, the morning after the box office exceeded one billion, negative news about "5" buying box office began to spread on the Internet on a large scale, which cast a shadow on Huayi, which was on the rise. A shade.
