A box office of over 7 million yuan is definitely not a bad result even after ten years, let alone in 2012. The director of Painted Skin 2 is Wuershan, and it was Painted Skin 2 that made Wuershan famous.

The starring actors of "Painted Skin 2" are Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Chen Kun, Feng Shaofeng, and Da Mi, almost all of the most powerful stars in the mainland entertainment industry.

Needless to say, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and Chen Kun were the backbone of the mainland entertainment industry in 2012.

In this era, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Baoqiang, Wu Jing and others were not yet big names.

Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and Chen Kun had far greater box office appeal and weight in 2012 than them.

Although Feng Shaofeng and Da Mimi are less influential and influential than them, they are still very popular. Although "Palace" has been aired for a year, the popularity of the two is still there.

It is entirely possible to bring a huge traffic impact to the box office.

In this case, "Painted Skin 2" is naturally a formidable enemy and should not be underestimated.

Even with Da Tiantian's intelligence, she can realize that "Painted Skin 2" is a big enemy.

So Da Tiantian couldn't understand Wei Jun's thoughts.

"Since 'Painted Skin 2' is such a formidable rival, why don't we avoid it? It leaves us with plenty of time for post-production. Why don't we just wait for the Lunar New Year holiday? The Lunar New Year holiday has much greater potential."

Wei Junxin said that there is another movie "Lost in Thailand" waiting for the Lunar New Year holiday.

2012 was a huge year for Chinese-language films. A film of the magnitude of "Painted Skin 2" would have been a box office champion in previous years, grossing over 7 million yuan. It starred a cast of top-tier mainland Chinese actors, and director Wuershan is known for his exceptional fantasy films.

In terms of director, actors, plot and quality, "Painted Skin 2" cannot be called amazing, but compared with other Chinese-language films, it is already the best of the best.

Unfortunately, at the end of 2012, another film called "People on the Road to Thailand" came out.

Now no one would have thought that Xu Zheng, a has-been actor, who directed for the first time, could create a box office miracle with a low-budget comedy "Lost in Thailand" which he wrote, directed and starred in, becoming the first Chinese-language film in the Chinese film industry to gross over 1 billion yuan and the final box office was as high as 126.7 million yuan.

It's really a miracle.

Wei Jun dares to guarantee that Xu Zheng himself could not have imagined that he would be so awesome the first time.

Since Mr. Wei knows about this bug, of course he has to avoid it.

Isn't that just crazy? Although Painted Skin 2 is a strong rival, The Thirteen Warriors Return to the Cave is still a contender.

The quality of "Lost in Thailand" may not be higher than "Painted Skin 2", but comedy movies are too easy to become hits.

Moreover, during the special period of the Lunar New Year holiday, everyone prefers to watch comedy movies.

Therefore, competing head-on with "Lost in Thailand" is the most unwise choice, and the summer season is more advantageous.

What's more, Lord Wei has other plans.

“Painted Skin 2 is indeed amazing, but our crew is no less impressive.

With Jackie Chan and me, whether it's acting or directing, we are better than "Painted Skin 2", don't be afraid."

Wei Jun is not bragging about himself this time.

There is no dispute that Jackie Chan is better than Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and Chen Kun in 2012.

In terms of the director's professional achievements, there is no dispute in the industry that Wei Jun is better than Wuershan.

Wuershan's meteoric rise in the industry came thanks to Painted Skin 2. Before the success of Painted Skin 2, Wuershan could only say that some people had high hopes for his talent, but he had yet to deliver.

Wei Jun has already demonstrated his ability and talent with "Warring States". "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" and "Warring States" are films of the same theme, so the industry will be optimistic about him.

If it really competes with "Painted Skin 2" at the same time, "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" will definitely be ranked first in the movie ticket schedule. Wei Jun is confident of this.

But Wei Jun's confidence made Da Tiantian unhappy.

"Besides Jackie Chan and you, I am also in our crew.

Wei Jun, do you look down on me? "Da Tiantian straightened her panda.

Wei Jun glanced at her subconsciously, then looked away, sighing softly, "Tiantian, don't you know if you're as good as Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei?"

Da Tiantian: "...I am younger than them and I have unlimited potential for growth."

Wei Jun said he would not argue with her: "You are beautiful, and everything you say is right."

"Humph, no sincerity."

No matter how much she grumbled, Da Tiantian still followed Wei Jun's instructions.

After all, Wei Jun took her on a journey once, and the success of "Warring States" made Da Tiantian unprecedentedly trust in Wei Jun.

Until the next failure, Da Tiantian will continue to trust Wei Jun.

It's normal for successful people to have privileges.

What's more, Wei Jun is so handsome.

Da Tiantian is not short of money, and she has no intention of saving money on the promotion and marketing of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

Therefore, the promotion of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was so crazy that there was no need to worry about not having enough money.

Station A.

The explanation and documentary about the background story of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" have been released online, allowing netizens to understand this exciting history in the shortest time.

Countless netizens felt proud after watching it.

Major portal websites.

Under the publicity campaign of the crew, almost all portal websites pushed information about "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

Even CCTV, God knows what connections Da Tiantian used, actually made "One Hundred Schools of Thought" specially make a program about "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

The entertainment industry was shaken.

We have all seen people spending money like water on publicity and promotion, but we have never seen anyone spend so much money on it.

The lineup is too big.

It's so scary.

"Warring States" has already taken in 400 million yuan at the box office. How much will "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" take?

For a time, the entire entertainment industry was in a state of panic and everyone felt that the wolf was coming.

Movies that were originally scheduled to be released during the summer vacation are now considering whether to withdraw their release dates and move to the next one.

Looking at the publicity for "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave", almost everyone thinks that "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" will be the movie king of the summer season.

Even the distributor and producer of Painted Skin 2 think the same way. The production company behind Painted Skin 2 is actually Huayi, and the distribution company is also Huayi.

Originally, Huayi was planning to promote "Painted Skin 2" during the summer vacation.

However, when they encountered the rich people who did not play by the rules like the crew of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave", the people from Huayi were also stunned.

They are optimistic about the box office potential of "Painted Skin 2".

The problem is that they are also optimistic about the box office potential of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

The two Mr. Wangs from Huayi called Wuershan to the office, and the three of them held a small internal meeting.

The king is always worried: "'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' is coming on strong, what are your thoughts?"

Wuershan frowned.

He has not achieved success yet, and "Painted Skin 2" is very important to him.

So when he encountered this situation, he was extremely nervous.

Seeing Wuershan didn't speak, Xiao Wang spoke first: "Xiao Ming participated in the filming of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave". I asked him about the situation of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

"What did Xiao Ming say?" Both President Da Wang and Wuershan looked at President Xiao Wang.

Mr. Wang said seriously, "Xiao Ming said that when we were filming, it was common for Wei Jun to scold Da Tiantian, just like scolding his own maid.

Even Jackie Chan would just do NG if he said so. The longest time Wei Jun made Jackie Chan retake a scene was eight times. That’s Jackie Chan after all.”

When Mr. Wang finished speaking, his tone was somewhat shocked.

President Da Wang and Wuershan were also shocked.

Wuershan asked himself and felt that he probably didn't have the courage.

"So, Mr. Wei is serious about filming the movie 'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave'."

The king is feeling worse and worse.

Wuershan also said: "From Wei Jun's attitude towards filming, it can be seen that 'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' is definitely not a shoddy co-production."

Mr. Wang nodded and said, "Xiao Ming said the same thing. Although 'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave' is a co-production, according to what Xiao Ming saw, the film is basically centered around Wei Jun, and Wei Jun doesn't listen to other people's opinions at all.

When we were on the set, Wei Jun scolded the Hong Kong and Taiwan screenwriters like they were his grandsons, not taking them seriously at all.

Da Wang's expression grew even more serious. "This shows that Mr. Wei has learned the lesson from co-productions. Even though it's a co-production, the entire crew has a single voice. This way, the film doesn't look out of place. Mr. Wei is a smart man."

Huayi Company has made many co-productions before, most of which have failed.

The reason is that everyone in the crew has their own ideas and no one can understand each other, which results in the movie being a mess and a piece of shit.

But Wei Jun obviously avoided this risk.

This is not good news for them.

The King looked at Wuershan and said, "Director Wu, what do you say?"

Wu Ershan hesitated for a moment, then expressed his true thoughts: "Let's change the release date to the Lunar New Year period. It would be too risky to compete with 'The Thirteen Warriors Return to the Cave'."

Wuershan's idea was not beyond the expectations of President Wang.

He nodded, pondered for a moment, and then made a decision: "Then let's listen to Director Wu and reschedule 'Painted Skin 2' to the Lunar New Year holiday."

Mr. Wang reminded him, "Brother, have you forgotten that our company also has Xiaogang's "1942" during the Lunar New Year holiday?"

Mr. Wang actually hasn’t forgotten.

"Move '1942' to the summer box office to compete with 'The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave'."

The king said.

Mr. Wang was shocked: "Brother, are you serious? Are you going to let Xiaogang and Weijun fight?"

"Have you seen '1942'?" the King always asked.

Mr. Wang nodded.

"how do you feel?"

Mr. Wang spoke the truth: "The whole tone is too sad, the box office won't be good."

"Yes, the box office won't be good, and it will be even worse during the Lunar New Year holiday.

During the Lunar New Year period, everyone watches comedies. Who wants to watch tragedies? It’s better to try it out during the summer.”

The king said.

Mr. Xiao Wang looked at Mr. Da Wang, a little hesitant: "Brother, are you going to use Xiao Gang as cannon fodder? What if Xiao Gang gets angry?"

Xiao Gangpao is the signature director of Huayi Company.

So even though Huayi knew that "1942" would not do well at the box office, it was still willing to let Xiao Gangpao shoot it.

Because this is a small cannon.

But Mr. Wang is still a capitalist at heart.

The King said calmly, "Xiao Gang is already a top director in the Chinese film industry. Is he still afraid of Wei Jun?

Mr. Wang smiled bitterly.

If Xiao Gangpao were to make a comedy, he would definitely believe that Xiao Gangpao would not be afraid of Wei Jun.

But it was "1942" shot by Xiao Gangpao.

Mr. Wang is not optimistic about the little cannon at all.

But there is no way, Mr. Wang has already made the decision.

He could only obey.

"That's it. Even if Xiaogang suffers a crushing defeat, it would be best if it could wake him up and get him back on track and continue making comedy movies.

If this continues, Xiaogang will be of no value to our company."

The king always makes the final decision.

Obviously, the king is not optimistic that the little cannon can defeat Wei Jun.

He went there just to inflict a crushing defeat on the Little Cannon.
