Superstars start as villains

Chapter 184 I want to fight ten!
The style of [Love Call Transfer 2] is the same, but the male protagonist of the first film is replaced by a female protagonist, and the style of light-hearted comedy is still followed. This kind of movie is very suitable for young men and women to buy a popcorn meal quietly Hidden in a corner to watch.

The box office performance on the first day was quite in line with Zhou Xing’s expectations. The box office on the first day was 438 million, which also benefited from the development of channels. Yi's share is a bit higher, but with more screens, the box office will naturally go up.

"The first day was 438 million, can the final box office break through 500 million?" Tong Lia asked stupidly.

Zhou Xing couldn't help scratching her face, feeling very good: "Fool, according to this box office trend, 4000 million box office is no problem."

"Ah?" Tong Lia looked dumbfounded. She used to shoot TV dramas. She was only a cameo in [Love Call Transfer 1], and she has no idea about the box office. She was too far away, but suddenly one day, she discovered that the box office of the movie she starred in was so high, her brain crashed like a computer.

Tong Lia didn't know that the 4000 million that Zhou Xing said was just a conservative estimate.

The box office of 438 million on the first day would have been an incredible achievement if it had been placed a few years ago, and the media had already rushed to report it. 08 million is nothing to write home about.

Sigh, it’s inflated, but everyone knows that the annual box office champion of the Hong Kong film industry is only 3000 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars. If it is based on the standards of the mainland media, how should the Hong Kong media deal with it?
【Love 2】The first week's box office exceeded 3000 million, temporarily ranking first in the Lunar New Year file.

"It seems that your estimate was not very accurate. It was 3000 million in the first week." Obviously, Tong Lia was inflated.

Zhou Xing was speechless for a while: "Don't forget, there is one week before Chen Kai's [Mei Lanfang] will be released. With the addition of pirated copies, this kind of low-budget film will basically compete for the first two weeks at the box office."

Facts have proved that Zhou Xing’s concern was right. Due to piracy, the box office of [Love 2] was only 1900 million in the second week. High-definition resources are released, and some even have high-definition resources flowing out in three days.

However, for a low-cost film like [Love 2], it is quite good to be able to get such a box office result. Even if all of them follow Huayi's sharing model, "Zhixing Film and Television" still has a 200% return rate.

[Mei Lanfang] will be released on December 12th. Brother Chen Kai has been scolded miserably for the past few years. The big hole in [Wuji] made him slow down for three years. Forced to the point of no choice, didn't he rely on "Farewell My Concubine" to establish his status as a famous director in one fell swoop?

Of course, for a literary youth like Chen Kai, he really doesn't want to make such a movie, because "Farewell My Concubine" is too classic, this is the pinnacle of his art, no matter how he shoots, he can't surpass it.

But there is no way, the failure of [Wuji] made him lose the capital to let himself go, and the investor is not a fool, if you want to shoot it, then shoot what you are best at.

Therefore, there was this "Mei Lanfang". The quality of the works produced in this way is actually predictable. Even if Li Min and Zhang Ziyi tried their best to feed each other, there are still many viewers who do not buy it.

In fact, [Mei Lanfang] can be regarded as a qualified movie of Brother Chen Kai, at least Brother Chen Kai is shooting it as a normal commercial film, but [Farewell My Concubine] is so famous that many film critics and the media are concerned about it. It is customary to compare the two films together.

People are dead compared to others, and things are thrown away when compared to goods. After such a comparison, not to mention Chen Kai being sprayed as a fool, even Li Min and Zhang Ziyi also suffered.

However, despite all the scolding, [Mei Lanfang] performed well at the box office in the first week, reaching 4218 million. Brother Chen Kai suddenly gained confidence. He has the same attitude towards all audiences and film critics who scold him: scold me All of them are uneducated and cannot understand the deep meaning in my movies.

But Brother Chen Kai didn't have to worry about it for a few days, because Xiaogangpao's "If You Are the One" was released on December 12, and no one scolded him immediately, and all the eyes of the media were attracted by Xiaogangpao.

As the king of Chinese New Year movies, Xiaogangpao is not just talking about it. There are only two people who have made him suffer in this battlefield. One is Lao Mouzi and the other is Star Master. As for Brother Chen Kai?Xiaogangpao really didn't take it to heart.

So far in 08, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" has occupied the annual box office champion, and the plot of the famous director of the mainland audience has been confirmed again. Although "Red Cliff" was scolded as worthless, the box office reached 3.2 million. The first director to win [-] million box office in the Mainland.

However, Xiaogangpao also released bold words at the premiere of "If You Are the One", predicting that "If You Are the One" will take away the throne of the mainland box office champion in 08 from "Red Cliff".

Xiaogangpao still has a familiar formula and a familiar taste, and the words are not surprising. You must know that [Chibi] announced an investment of 7600 million U.S. dollars, but it is actually estimated to be around 4 million yuan.

[If You Are the One] It claims to invest 5000 million yuan, but in fact, [-] million yuan is not bad. There is a huge difference in the size of the two parties.

If this remark was told by a director, it would definitely attract endless ridicule. However, if this remark came out of the mouth of a small steel cannon, the media could only report it truthfully. What about miracles?

Needless to say, these days, Xiaogangpao's box office appeal is very strong. It was released for four days and the box office broke 8000 million.

At this time, [Love Call Transfer 2] has just been drawn, with a total box office of 5680 million. Zhang Jianya said that he is a bit confused. It's just that Xu Zheng was replaced by Uncle Ge. Anyway, they both have bald heads, so it doesn't violate harmony at all to slow down.

"Could this be the appeal of a famous director + superstar?" Zhang Jianya shook his head bitterly.

In fact, there are many famous directors and superstars in Chinese-language movies. However, there is a chemical reaction in this world, called Uncle Ge + Xiaogangpao. Since the 90s, Chinese New Year movies have been ruled by them.

For many viewers, Xiaogangpao + Uncle Ge represent the quality of a movie, and it's over after paying for the ticket.

It is this kind of trust that made the box office of "If You Are the One" soar all the way. Chen Kai originally wanted to challenge Xiaogang Cannon, but in the second week of "If You Are the One" was released, the box office of "Mei Lanfang" was cut in half, and the final box office was only 1.1. [-] million, not as good as the two-week box office of others
Until, on December 12, [Ip Man] was simultaneously released worldwide. Although Xiaogang Pao said: Ip Man is not a threat to If You Are the One, in fact he stayed at Huayi Cinema all night.

"Honey, should we watch If You Are the One or Ip Man?" A young couple was struggling.

The man thought for a while: "Why don't you watch Ip Man, Zhou Xing's recent action movies are really cool."

Seeing that the woman hadn't opened her mouth, the man said again: "Ahem, it's okay to watch If You Are the One, Uncle Ge's movie is quite enjoyable."

The woman stared: "Do you have any idea? I don't know if I choose a difficult disease."

"Then watch both. Today I will watch the premiere of Ip Man first, and tomorrow I will watch If You Are the One."

Well, I am full of desire to survive. In fact, [Ip Man] and [If You Are the One] are not the same type of movie, and the competition coefficient is not high. Many viewers will choose to watch both. It is nothing more than which one to watch first and which one to follow. Just look.

[Ip Man] In the premiere screening hall, there are two types of audience who choose to watch the premiere, one is fans of Kung Fu movies, and the other is fans of Zhou Xing. Kung Fu movies are like this. If they want to sell well, the protagonist must have box office appeal, otherwise Definitely lose money.

After a simple interaction, the lights in the auditorium were turned off, and on the big screen, after the animation title of Dongfang Film and Television, Zhou Xing was wearing a white training suit and was playing wooden dummy piles.

"Wow, so handsome. Sure enough, Zhou Xing is the most handsome among so many kung fu stars."

In fact, Zhou Xing’s wooden man pile was completely restored according to the video data left by Grandmaster Ye Wen before his death. At that time, Grand Master Ye Wen was already 79 years old. The time of shooting this video data was late October 1972. And Grandmaster Ye Wen also passed away after more than a month. This is also the last treasure he left to future generations.

A line of characters appeared on the big screen: 1935 Wuguan Street, Foshan.

"Hey, another one is grabbing a job." A martial artist shook his head and said.

Obviously, there is still a lot of competition on Martial Arts Street, and then Master Liao came to the door to compete. This guy who looked greasy at the beginning said boldly: Let's compete behind closed doors. No one knows whether we win or lose. In fact, if he hadn't I just found out that Ye Wen is the number one master in Foshan, so why did you come to Ye Wen to compete with him as soon as the museum opened?

This master Liao gave people the feeling of greasy when he appeared on the stage, a greasy old fox, compared with Ye Wen's magnanimous style, he fell behind.

In the Ye family's mansion, Zhou Qingquan, played by Ren Dahua, came to borrow money from Ye Wen, and asked him to accept his son as an apprentice, but Ye Wen did not agree. For him, martial arts is just a hobby, and he is not short of money. It will only delay his time for practicing martial arts. During this period of time, Ip Man is just a carefree rich man with no ambitions or trying to make a name for himself. His only pleasure is practicing martial arts.

"Mom, I've finished the painting." Ye Zhun offered treasures to his mother when he was a child.

Zhang Yongcheng, played by Xiong Dailin, looked at his son dotingly: "The painting is really good, let's show it to Dad."

It's a pity that Ye Wen is in the midst of practicing duel with Wu Chilin at this time, so he has no time to care about how his son draws.

"Look and see, what are you looking at? Are you annoying to fight every day?" Xiong Dailin couldn't help being furious.

"Don't tell me, this actress really has a lot of temperament."

"Yeah, is this girl called Xiong Dailin? She looks pretty, has a good figure, and is tall. She looks about the same as Zhou Xing."

Many viewers are attracted by Xiong Dailin's height. It is rare to see such a tall female artist in the entertainment industry. When Gigi Leung first debuted, the audience called her "Tall Girl". Memorable features.

As soon as the screen changed, Jin Shanxun, played by Fan Shaohuang, made his debut and started to kick the gym one by one on Wuguan Street. Not to mention, Master Liao, who was vulnerable in front of Ip Man before, was actually the one who lasted the longest on Wuguan Street, which is also confirmed from the side Ye Wen's strength has been greatly reduced.

"He's NN. He thought Foshan was full of Huang Feihong, but in the end there wasn't anyone who could beat him." Jin Shan scolded.

The owner of the noodle shop: "You think you are great after winning a few decorations? Let's talk about winning the most powerful one."

"Who is the most powerful in Foshan?"

"Of course Ye Wen, is it me?"

In the Ye family's mansion, Ye Wen fought with Jin Shanzhao, Jin Shanxun, who was originally majestic, was severely beaten, and seeing Ye Wen strolling in the courtyard, it was obvious that he didn't do his best.

"Carry away, carry away, next one." The audience shouted hooked.

Reasonably speaking, Zhou Xing should be regarded as the only Kung Fu star in Chinese Kung Fu movies, and the audience is not afraid of the villain being too powerful.

Originally, the audience thought that this drama would go all the way to the end in this atmosphere. However, soon came the second stage, when the Japanese came, the Ye family mansion was invaded, and Ye Wen's family of three became homeless.

"Hey, this director's ambition is not small. Is this to imitate Xu Ke's Huang Feihong's rhythm of depicting the past in China?"

If Ye Wen had been living in such an environment, he would be a martial artist at best, so what about the number one in Foshan?Is martial arts faster than guns?

The reason why Huo Yuanjia is a hero is that he awakened the blood of the Chinese people. He used his fists to prove that the Chinese people are not the sick men of East Asia.

"I want to hit ten!"

In the underground fighting gym, Ye Wen, played by Zhou Xing, let out a roar, and many viewers in the theater felt their blood boiling all over. Then, the scene where Ye Wen beat ten Japanese fighters to the ground like a melon and vegetable chopper was even more exciting. It makes people feel more comfortable.

"It's so handsome, damn it, I want to hit ten, isn't this line too passionate?"

"That's right, and have you noticed that Ye Man's punching speed is too fast for a part-time job, and it's probably the same speed as a professional boxer?"

"Is the publicity tidbit true? Zhou Xing can really hit [-] punches per second? I remember that the fastest professional boxer can do is [-] punches per second."

Ye Weixin couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard the comments from the audience in the back row. "If You Are the One" broke the box office of 8000 million in four days, it is too cruel. If you say you are not nervous, you can deceive the audience.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the audience has been substituted into the whole story, [Ip Man] may not have the qualifications to compete for the annual box office champion!

Thinking of this, Ye Weixin couldn't help feeling hot. Last time [Fuse] let him be promoted to the [-] million yuan club. However, the mainland market is developing too fast. In just two years, the number of directors with a box office of over [-] million yuan has been beyond count. Wu Yusen even It has reached [-] million for a single chip for the first time. According to this posture, [If You Are the One] will soon break [-] million.

"If you want to keep up with the box office of famous directors, you have to rely on Zhou Xing!" Even though Ye Wen's first film has just been released, Ye Wei is confident that he already has a draft for the sequel.
