Entertainment, I just like making movies

1 pm.

The global box office results for the third week of "The Secret of the Dragon" are out.

On the weekends of the 14th and 15th, we won 35 million and 33 million soft sister coins respectively.

In the third week of the mainland market, from January 9th to January 15th, 342.5 million soft sister coins were sold.

After 17 days of release, the total box office in mainland China was 1.152 billion!

In the North American market, it grossed over 10 million U.S. dollars in two days over the weekend, with a box office of 42.3 million U.S. dollars in the third week.

The total box office in North America has also reached 99.4 million US dollars, which is only 600,000 US dollars away from breaking through 100 million US dollars.

All parts of Asia are doing it steadily, with 70 million Somei coins in seven days, and the total box office in Asia is 190 million Somei coins, and it is just around the corner to break 200 million.

Many European countries and Australia took the lead in experiencing big dives in the third week, with the level of decline exceeding 50% compared to the second week.

It only took in $16 million in seven days, with a total box office of $54 million.

Combining the box office from all over the world, "The Secret of the Dragon" grossed a total of US$113.5 million in its third week.

In its third week, it once again topped the global weekly box office list!

At the same time, the total global box office of "The Secret of the Dragon" has reached US$283.5 million, which can break through US$300 million in a blink of an eye.

"The Secret of the Dragon" is a real global hit!

While the media was excited for the second time, they also translated some media reports from North America into Chinese and reposted them on Weibo for the entertainment of viewers and netizens.

"In 2012, at the beginning of the new year, the American film market was dominated by a Chinese film!"

"As the 'end of the world' approaches, the Chinese film "The Secret of the Dragon" breaks through time and space and lands in North America to top the global film market for two consecutive weeks. The total box office is about to exceed 100 million US dollars!"

"Chinese directors once again conquered North America, and the fantasy adventure blockbuster "The Secret of the Dragon" overwhelmed local films and set the best performance in the New Year of 2012!"

"99.3 million U.S. dollars! "The Secret of the Dragon" became the highest-grossing movie in North America at the beginning of 2012. It's a pity that it is a Chinese movie!"

Global Times: "Cultural invasion! "The Secret of the Dragon" is a stark cultural invasion movie!"

Hollywood Movie Report: "Led the wolf into the house! 20th Century Fox actually introduced such a threatening movie for the sake of profit, and Americans across the United States must be punished!"

News Corp. Tomato: "The Secret of the Dragon is a well-produced and high-quality commercial film. In the film, the golden trio, the masterminds of a multinational group who traveled from the United States to China, join forces to open up the world of Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation. The big tomb will show people all over the world the magic and magnificence of the thousand-year-old tomb!”

Professional film critic on Twitter: "Any time a good movie will be loved by the people, just like the Chinese people like to watch "Avatar" and "Transformers 3", American audiences also like to watch "Edge of Tomorrow" and "The End of Tomorrow". "Dragon Secret".

20th Century Fox's website: ""The Legend of the Dragon" is well-received around the world. In addition to first-class special effects, it also has a wonderful plot and Genghis Khan, the only king who once ruled the Eurasian continent.

The imperial tomb of Genghis Khan has deeply attracted everyone who is interested in him. "

The Hollywood Film Industry Association reported: “The two popular movies in North America, Edge of Tomorrow and The Secret of the Dragon, have a common director. His name is Fang Ziheng. He is from China. He is 25 years old and is a Chinese genius. director!"

There were only a few reposted and translated news items, but they made the melon-eaters happy and left comments under these news items.

In particular, there were two reports calling for a boycott of "The Secret of the Dragon". Fang Ziheng's fans rallied and criticized the comments.

After the scolding was not enough, many people climbed over the wall to find the original websites of the two news articles and scolded the foreigners who boycotted "The Secret of the Dragon".

A click of the button caused a small wave.

Foreigners have the same thoughts as the angry youths of China.

I can come to your house and occupy your house, but you can't come to my house and steal food.

When Hollywood movies are a hit in China and take over the box office, foreigners smile inwardly and arrogantly say that their movies are awesome and that they are the benchmark and holy place for movies around the world.

And when "The Secret of the Dragon" became a big hit in the North American market, they became depressed, and they wanted to have the movie taken off the shelves that day.

This argument was also made when Edge of Tomorrow was released last year. But as the two countries negotiated further trade exchanges at the time, this rebellious tone did not gain momentum.

Even the other seven Hollywood giants did not take action. The reason is very simple. Among the trade negotiations last year, there was China's proposal to increase the number of imported films from overseas.

Now that the new imported film quota has been set, other Hollywood giants have no worries and will definitely make a fuss about "The Secret of the Dragon".

Of course, just because you have written an article does not necessarily mean it will have substantive effects.

Twentieth Century Fox Film Company is not a vegetarian, and the News Corporation behind it is even more behemoth.

He is a top expert in the media industry. As soon as the voice of boycotting "The Secret of the Dragon" came out, Deng Wendi mobilized resources to suppress it.

However, after 17 days of being in theaters, "The Secret of the Dragon" will definitely experience a big drop next week.

There are still two weeks left to be released in the North American market, and it is estimated that it can still earn 40 million to 50 million at the box office. The total box office will not reach the height of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Europe and Australia seem to have only made US$16 million this week, but the subsequent box office trend can stabilize the position, and it will not be a problem to collect another US$20 million.

Six pm.

Fang Ziheng took Lin Feifei and Zeng Li to Zhaoyang District and Baoliwanhe Cinema in the imperial capital to attend the premiere of "Xiu Chun Knife".

Today is Little New Year's Eve, and in a few days it will be New Year's Eve.

In addition to the filming reason for "Embroidered Spring Knife" to be scheduled for the Spring Festival, another reason is also because of the popularity during the Spring Festival.

Logically speaking, it is best to release a comedy movie during the Spring Festival, such as "The Lost Love" directed by Su Lun.

Putting "Embroidered Spring Knife" on the Spring Festival schedule doesn't seem to fit.

Many of the executives at Hengyu Media agree with the so-called fit. It is best to slightly match the style of the movie with the schedule.

Fang Ziheng doesn't think so. There are only a few good movie schedules throughout the year. Hengyu controls many projects in a year, so how can he coordinate them one by one.

Moreover, "Xiu Chun Knife" is a relatively rigorous costume movie. The plot, fighting, and style are the main themes, and it will not be affected by the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Besides, it’s not like the movie ends tragically, so I’m scared!

In the cinema lounge.

Fang Ziheng brought up the topic again, and asked China Film Chen Yu and another investor of the film, Li Ming of Galloping Pony, "The reason why "The Knife" is released during the Spring Festival is because of the popularity of cinemas during the Chinese New Year."

"Both of you have seen the finished film, don't you think I chose the schedule blindly?"

"How can it not be possible? Look at what Director Fang said. This is all harassment from the publicity people below. They say it is a big deal during the Chinese New Year. Other companies have holidays, and they have to travel all over the country to promote it."

Li Ming made a hahaha and bit him to death because the people below were complaining.

Chen Yu glanced at him with a smile and cursed in his heart that he deserved it.

First of all, it came from Li Ming's mouth that Fang Ziheng was treating it differently and other movies had good schedules. When it came to "Xiu Chun Knife", it could only be released at the end of the year. The style of the movie was also in line with the Chinese New Year atmosphere and its atmosphere. Doesn't match.

hehe

Now in person, I don’t dare to admit it.

Fang Ziheng stopped and didn't say anything to choke Li Ming.

Li Ming's good days were not long gone. When "Taiping Wheel" came out, the company was in decline and the company fell into a low ebb and internal power grabs.

A quasi-giant film and television company was finally pushed off the altar, and it was only through the support of the gold medal film producer Zhong Lifang that it could barely stay afloat.

Not long after, the guests arrived.

The large screening hall was packed, with nearly 900 guests and spectators present.

Director Hao Yi came out from the backstage with a group of film creators and took the stage at the invitation of host Xie Nan.

After chatting for a while, Xie Nan invited Fang Ziheng to the stage.

The eyes of the media reporters under the stage lit up, and they held the microphone high and stared at him eagerly.

"Director Fang, as the film's screenwriter and producer, what are your expectations for "Xiu Chun Knife"? Can you make an objective evaluation?"

"Director Fang, "Xiu Chun Knife" is the second costume film produced by Hengyu Media in 2011. How do you think the movie compares with "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"? Can it reach a box office of 700 million!"

""The Secret of the Dragon" is currently being screened around the world and has achieved impressive results. Can you tell us about your project this year, even the subject matter?"

"It is said that you are planning to cooperate with Wanda Film and Television to shoot a super-large cast film. Can you tell us what the total investment of the project is?"

As soon as Fang Ziheng came to the center of the stage and before he took the microphone from Xie Nan, the reporters in the audience couldn't wait and started asking questions.

Fang Ziheng is now considered an experienced driver, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say.

Taking the microphone, he smiled and looked at the reporters carrying long guns and cannons in the audience, coughed lightly and said: "First of all, I want to say that "Xiu Chun Dao" is a costume movie, with only faint martial arts elements. "

"In addition, the structure of the movie is a bit small. Unlike the fantasy crime solving of "Four Famous Catchers" and the martial arts high and low in the yellow sand of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Xiu Chun Dao" pays more attention to chilling realism. , in terms of fighting, the punches hit the flesh, and the knife is close to the skin, which stimulates the blood even more!"

Fang Ziheng ignored the reporter's questions and set the tone and style for "Xiu Chun Knife" as soon as he started.

After the movie is released, the media will definitely compare the movie with "The Famous Four" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

It’s up to anyone to comment on whether the movie is good or bad, but it’s also true that the styles are different.

"Four Famous Catchers" takes the high-level martial arts fantasy.

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" puts new wine in old bottles, and the rivers and lakes are at odds with the imperial court.

"Xiuchundao" is different. It tells the secret conspiracy and internal struggle between Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

Among the three movies, "Xiu Chun Knife" is relatively small in scope.

As the screenwriter and producer, he said it in advance. After the movie is released, the media will have to weigh it even if they want to mess with the rhythm.

Hearing what Fang Ziheng said, the guests and reporters were fine, but the audience and the invited film critics' eyes lit up.

Keep it!

What is important is that it is different from "Four Famous Catchers" and "Dragon Flying Swords". It doesn't matter what the pattern and style are, as long as the level is online, it is enough!

After chatting for a few more words about the style of "Xiu Chun Dao" and his expectations for the movie, Fang Ziheng handed the microphone to Hao Yi, patted his butt and stepped off the stage.

If he didn't leave, he might be frightened to death by Hao Yi's resentful eyes. He couldn't do anything to steal the spotlight.

At seven o'clock, the movie was officially screened.

As Fang Ziheng said, the layout of the movie is indeed not big and the story is not complicated.

The opening chapter is a chase scene.

When Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was bewitched by the Donglin Party and ordered to take action on Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the Dongchang.

The three Jinyiwei brothers, Deng Chao, Huang Jiaozhu, and Wang Qianyuan, led people to hunt down the traitor Wei Zhongxian.

The picture is chilling and full of cold atmosphere.

The fighting scenes are extremely realistic, with every move full of explosive power and coldness and ruthlessness, perfectly showing the cruelty of the cold weapon era.

Conspiracy, routine, reversal, and reversal.

The plot doesn't seem to have much drama, but it is extremely compact and has many twists and turns.

Thanks to the outstanding acting skills of Deng Chao, Huang Jiaozhu, and Wang Qianyuan, the audience was immediately involved in the plot, and they were always on edge, fearing that the three brothers would become scapegoats and take advantage of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The narrative of the movie is simple and unpretentious, with no showy skills or boring gimmicks, and it is steady and steady all the way.

Faced with the pressure from the top management and the ubiquitous hidden hands, the three brothers worked together to advance and retreat together. With complex emotions and unwilling anger, they rose up to fight against the mastermind behind the scenes.

In addition to the main plot of the three brothers, the movie also connects many auxiliary plots, and the relationship between the characters is quite complicated.

In particular, the emotional scene between Shen Lian and Zhou Miaotong is not only beautiful and tragic, but it also highlights the helplessness of a person at the bottom of the officialdom and ordinary people.

There are five highlights of the movie.

The first is the fighting, the second is the rigorous plot, and the third is the actors' acting skills that are online throughout.

Fourth, it is well-made, and the costumes are better than most costume movies, especially the imperial uniforms and the standard Xiuchundao. The large group of people traveling gives people a sense of time travel and rebirth, and the reproduction of real scenes.

Fifth, and what the audience is most satisfied with, is Fang Ziheng’s role as the money-gaining brother Ding Xiu in the movie.

When Fang Ziheng faced Zhao Jingzhong, played by Nie Yuan, and yelled out the words "I have to pay more" evilly, the audience in the screening room burst out laughing. They were really amused by him.

Second row below the stage.

Da Tiantian patted Fang Ziheng's shoulder in the front row, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Jiaqian! Your acting skills are so good, you are so impressive!"

"It's really a good performance."

"We agreed, we will all call you 'Brother Jiaqian' from now on!"

Lin Feifei and Zeng Li next to them were extremely happy, their eyes narrowed and full of joking.

Fang Ziheng's face darkened and he glared at Hao Yi, who was looking attentive beside him. It was all his fault that he had to play the role of Ding Xiu.

It can be said that the three male protagonists of "The Four Famous Catchers" are brought together, and the publicity stunt alone can attract a large wave of martial arts fans, and at least 80 million more box office.

Damn it!

I shouldn't have agreed to Hao Yi at that time. Brother, I don't look like someone who is short of money.

………

After the 110-minute movie was played, warm applause erupted in the screening hall.

Fang Ziheng stood up and applauded. He was very satisfied with the effect of the film and said to Hao Yi: "It's very good. The first film can reach such a level, which shows that you have put your heart into it."

"Hey, it's all thanks to everyone!"

Hao Yi smiled modestly, grinned and asked, "Director, how much box office do you think the movie will have in the end?"

Deng Chao, Leader Huang, Song Yi, Wang Qianyuan and others on the side all pricked up their ears.

"The box office of the first movie won't be too high, maybe 400 to 500 million."

"Enough is enough, 400 million is guaranteed, and 500 million is earned, that's enough!"

Hao Yi's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The three male protagonists also showed satisfied smiles. In their opinion, the box office of 400 to 500 million yuan is already very high.

Not everyone can reach the heights of "Four Famous Catchers" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Only Song Yi pursed her pink lips, blinked her eyes and asked, "Director, do you think it's possible to exceed 600 million?"

The little girl has become career-minded and wants to become a heroine in a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions.

Fang Ziheng saw her thoughts at a glance and exposed her old story: "Tiezi, didn't you say that this movie is a man's role, and your role as Zhou Miaotong is not good?"

"No way, I never said that."

The little girl's cheeks turned red and she stamped her feet anxiously, wanting to sew his mouth shut.

Brother Ziheng is so bad.

She actually exposed her shortcomings in front of the director and Brother Chao. Don't I want to lose face?

Song Yi pursed her lips, glared at Fang Qinglang, and made up her mind not to stay in the hotel tonight. She was going to the duplex building.

snort..

Watch how I drain you tonight!
