What investors really look at is the final box office numbers.

So they don't care that much about rankings.

Moreover, "The Age of Conquest" is a military film after all.

Military movies are on the Spring Festival schedule. It's not the right genre.

The Spring Festival period has always been considered the world of family comedy movies. No matter how good a military movie is, audiences during the Spring Festival will not go to the cinema to watch war movies.

Therefore, in the case that most of the movies have strong comedy elements, although everyone thinks that Director Wei will definitely be a strong opponent, they have not lost confidence in the 2017 Spring Festival period.

A military movie, a group of comedy movies, and the audiences may not overlap.

They believe that the competition with Director Wei is not as great as they imagined.

To put it another way, even if there is competition, the box office split will not be that big. Who says military movies and comedy movies can't be watched together?

Besides, everyone has their own ace. No matter how awesome Director Wei is, he can't be afraid before the battle.

When the list of movies competing for the 2017 Spring Festival was released, not to mention everyone else, even Da Tiantian was worried about Wei Jun.

"Mr. Wei, you're not going to capsize in the gutter, are you?"

Wei Jun laughed: "Aren't they the ones we should be worried about?

Da Tiantian said frankly: "They may not be able to beat you individually, but together they are a bit too powerful."

Indeed.

The battle for the 2017 Spring Festival movie box office has been heating up for a long time.

It is hailed by gossipy media as the most competitive Spring Festival period in history.

Of course, this title is used every year.

But this year is really intense.

Moreover, if you dare to join the battlefield when Director Wei has made it clear that he wants to fight, it would be impossible if you don’t have some skills.

Brother Long was the first to call Director Wei.

"Director Wei, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just that I can't find a better time slot than the Spring Festival.

Besides, one of us is a comedy and the other is a military film, so there is no conflict.

Let's win together and kill all the other rotten fish and shrimp."

Brother Long talks about his youthful enthusiasm.

What can Wei Jun say?

Brother Long is really in good shape this year.

Because if Director Wei had not intervened, Brother Long's "Kung Fu Yoga" this year would have been the final box office champion of the 2017 Spring Festival movie season.

It can also be said that this was Long Ge's swan song at the box office. The box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" finally approached 20 billion, even though the quality was actually very mediocre.

This only shows that the Spring Festival market is really big.

Also, Jackie Chan’s base is indeed large.

Just "Brother Long, when you say rotten fish and rotten shrimp, do you also include Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark?"

In the 2017 Spring Festival, Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark also joined the battle: "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back".

Although Fanfan was dismissed by Director Wei, it doesn’t matter.

In the original time and space, Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark chose Fan Fan to play Tang Sanzang, not because of his good acting skills.

It’s nothing more than finding a traffic star to boost the box office.

Without Wu Paowang, there are a lot of replacements.

Director Wei paid a little attention and the role of the Cannon King became Li Yifeng.

It doesn’t matter actually.

No acting skills anyway.

This simply means that Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark have also begun to bow to traffic, which shows that they have no confidence in themselves and have misjudged the market.

Hearing Wei Jun talking about Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark, Long Ge said proudly: "Director Wei, besides me, who else is there in the Chinese film industry?"

Wei Jun: "Brother Long is very generous. I will definitely tell this to Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark."

Brother Long started coughing loudly.

But I didn't take it seriously.

Of course he knew that Director Wei was joking.

He made this call to communicate with Director Wei, urging everyone to compete fairly and not hold each other back.

The main thing is that Brother Long knows that if he really plays dirty, he will most likely lose to Wei Jun.

Who made Wei Jun control the public opinion platform now?

Wei Jun was indeed too lazy to play dirty with Brother Long.

In the original time and space, the box office battle during the 2017 Spring Festival was a fight between Brother Long and Stephen Chow, and "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" were both stepping on each other.

It turned out that Fan Fan was so bad that even Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark couldn't save him.

And the taste of these two people in choosing actors is really fascinating.

The male lead, Fanfan.

Supporting actor, Bao Bei'er.

The heroine is Yao Chen.

Supporting actress, Lin Yun.

In short, when it comes to actors that please the audience, Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark are equally popular.

Actors who are not popular with the audience are all given roles.

Wei Jun could only say that he deserved to die.

Too arrogant.

If we really talk about quality, Wei Jun actually thinks that "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" is better than "Kung Fu Yoga".

But when it comes to fighting, "Kung Fu Yoga" is still the best.

After all, Stephen Chow was not even a director this time, but just a producer, while Jackie Chan at least personally acted in the film.

Even if the audience goes to the cinema just for the sentimental reasons, they can still see Jackie Chan in the movie.

What about Stephen Chow?

His name can only be seen in the cast list behind the scenes, so how can he be competitive?

If the audience can be fooled once, can they be fooled three times?

Mr. Wei didn't take "The Demons Strike Back" seriously.

At the same time, I also made an agreement with Brother Long that we would compete fairly and not engage in smear campaigns behind each other's backs.

Because the competitor of "The Great Controversy" is indeed not "Kung Fu Yoga".

In addition to Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark, the 2017 Spring Festival movie season also welcomed an unexpected visitor.

When Director Wei saw that "Parasite" was also scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, his eyes almost popped out.

He immediately called Lao Mouzi.

"Brother Zhang, what the hell? Parasite is being released during the Spring Festival?"

Zhang Yimou's answer was simple: "Xiaojun, don't worry, we won't compete with 'The Great Controversy' at the box office."

Wei Jun: “…”

Even if you want to fight, you don't have the ability.

Art films are competing with me for box office?

"No, Brother Zhang, why are you targeting the Spring Festival period?"

Zhang Yimou's answer left Wei Jun speechless.

"The Spring Festival movie box office is high, and the reputation of "Parasite" is definitely good. Once the word of mouth spreads, it will be a big profit if it can make 300 million yuan at the box office. 500 million yuan at the box office will be a big hit for an art film.

Even though Parasite is an art film, I don’t mind its high box office.”

Wei Jun: ...

Reasonable and well-founded.

With the reputation of "Parasite", if it can make a comeback in terms of reputation during the Spring Festival, it may really be possible to make a breakthrough.

The most important thing is that art films like "Parasite" are truly in a field of their own. No one would expect too much from the box office of an art film, even if it is directed by Zhang Yimou.

Therefore, as long as the box office of "Parasite" can exceed 100 million, it will be a success. An extra 100 million will be a great success, and there is basically no pressure.

If I could really find a bargain... well, the possibility is very high.

Because Wei Jun knew that "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" were both of average quality, and "The Age of Conquest" and "Parasite" were not competitive at all.

just.

"Will "Parasite" be able to be released in time for the Spring Festival?" Wei Jun asked.

After all, "Parasite" only started filming during the summer vacation.

At this time, Wei Jun obviously forgot that "The World of Contenders" would also start filming in the second half of the year.

Zhang Yimou laughed: "Parasite."

Special effects and post-production don't take any time at all, so why would we be late? "

Wei Jun: “…”

My goodness, Zhang Yimou, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, and Tsui Hark are all going to become victims of my knife.

And that’s not all.

The most frightening thing is that "Wolf Warrior 2" has been completed... and Wei Jun also invested in it.

After all, Wu Jing had a connection with Wei Jun when he was filming the From the Future series.

In this life, he was short of money to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2", so Director Wei certainly wouldn't ask him to sell his house.

Just fill it in for him directly.

And all kinds of support.

From actors to weapons.

This resulted in the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" being completed ahead of schedule.

The ending was perfect.

then……

Wu Jing was ready to make a move.

Especially after Director Wei announced that "The World of Contenders" will be released during the Spring Festival.

Although Wu Jing is very grateful to Director Wei, he also thinks that Director Wei is his mentor.

but……

Fighting bosses is a hidden hobby in everyone's mind.

Who wouldn’t want to face Director Wei head-on?

If you win, you can brag about it for the rest of your life.

Moreover, Wu Jing feels that his "Wolf Warrior 2" is quite good.

Many of the actors are from the old team of the Future series, as well as the powerful actors in the hit "In the Name of People".

Looks like he can really fight.

So he really wanted to have a head-on fight with Director Wei.

Maybe he will win?
