Entertainment, I just like making movies

The movie market in April and May Day is destined to be dominated by Hollywood movies.

No matter how much the netizens cursed, all the major film and television companies pretended to be deaf and dumb, and no one stood up to respond.

After all, what can you do if you respond? The new movie you have is really no match for the other party!

I can't do it, I really can't do it!

New week, April 27th to May 4th.

"Fast 7" showed super endurance. After a big dive, it once again collected 295 million in seven days.

It has dominated the weekly box office for four consecutive weeks. In the first week, it successfully topped the box office on the first day of the weekend alone.

In 22 days, the total box office was pushed to 2.4 billion, showing its invincibility and leaving countless filmmakers intimidated.

The Hong Kong film "Equator", which ranked second on this week's box office list, only received 140 million at the box office.

Although it is only an opening weekend and only released for four days, judging from the box office trend of "Equator", its potential is limited.

Next week, it will be almost difficult to break 100 million!

Hong Kong films are not good, and the domestic films released in the same period are even worse. The weekly box office does not exceed 50 million, and the media is too lazy to mention them.

Everyone thought it was over, but no, "Fast 7" took an unusual path and once again topped the weekly box office in its fifth and final week.

With a box office of 120 million, it crushed "Equator" in its second week of release, and the domestic movies "Nian Nian" and "The Intruder" which only had a box office of several million.

So far, "Fast 7" has completed its extremely impressive month, with a total box office of 2.52 billion.

Thanks to China Film's subsequent announcements and increased holdings, the total box office was a full 100 million more than the previous one.

It is only 500 million box office away from "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which ranks first in Chinese film history.

China Film Group accounted for 17% of the net box office, and after deducting 8.3% of the film fund and taxes, it could get 392.8 million.

China Film's investment in the promotion and distribution of "Fast 7" was no more than 60 million, and its net profit was at least 330 million.

330 million!

No domestic film and television company can match the profit from the distribution of just one movie.

The power of imported film rights was brought to an end by China Film Group Corporation in "Fast 7".

What’s even scarier is that China Film Group will go public in two months.

July 8th.

The listing date set by China Film Group Co., Ltd. happened to be the hottest time of the summer season.

The sudden release of "Fast 7" made China Film Group a hit in advance, attracting many capital investment banks and securities funds to get excited and want to grab a bite of fat.

Perhaps God has favored China Film Group Corporation. When "Fast 7" was released, China Film Group quickly mobilized publicity and distribution resources to bombard another upcoming Hollywood blockbuster.

"Avengers 2"!

The super blockbuster produced by Marvel Studios and released by Disney Pictures Group is as famous as the "Fast and Furious" series.

"Fuck, China Film Group didn't even give up in order to go public!"

When major film and television companies saw the sudden hot search on Weibo, they frowned and cursed secretly.

Even if "Avengers 2" does not have the power of "Fast 7", as long as it has about half of the box office, it can continue to increase the valuation of the distribution company China Film Group.

Fang Ziheng was speechless when he learned about this situation. What bastard had come up with such a crooked idea.

So shameless!

However, what is even more shameless is yet to come. In order to completely clear the obstacles before listing, in order to allow China Film Co., Ltd. to break the listing record in one fell swoop.

In the next two days, China Film announced the release schedules of ten more imported films, six of which have the potential to become hits.

May 26: "Tomorrowland"

May 26: "Demon Slayer"

May 28: "Doraemon, come with me"

May 29: "Submarine 5"

June 2: "Doomsday Collapse"

June 10: "Jurassic World"

In order to ensure the success of the listing, China Film put all its special skills and energy into the market into consideration.

In previous years, how could we see such batches of imported blockbusters being released, at most two or three movies a month.

If more than a dozen films are released together, as long as one of them explodes, it will be a hot spot in the film market for a month.

Seeing this, all the major film and television companies were too lazy to complain, and just pretended to lie down and let you poke them.

Go to the theater

Yes, just watch the show!

Let China Film and Television Co., Ltd. show you how arrogant and domineering you are, and see how many trump cards you have and how far you can ultimately raise the stock price.

Sanqingshan Film and Television Base.

After Fang Ziheng finished filming today's scene, he waved to the actors and asked them to eat first.

He returned to the director's room alone, and without taking a shower, he took out his cell phone and dialed Bona Yudong's number.

"Hey, Yu Dong!"

"Director Fang, today's filming has been finished so early?"

On the other end of the phone, Yu Dong hasn't gotten off work yet and is studying the potential and risks of "Operation Mekong" before and after its release.

Returning to his desk, Yu Dong pulled out a list of movies released in June and said worriedly: "Director Fang, your call came at the right time. I took a closer look and found that June 12th may not be a good date. !”

"Dong Yu, do you want to adjust the schedule of "Operation Mekong"?" Fang Ziheng raised his eyebrows and said quietly.

"Yes, Director Fang, what do you think about delaying it a little longer to avoid the crazy Zhongying? We won't compete with Director Han and Director Zhang!"

Yu Dong's face became solemn and he spoke righteously.

He said he wouldn't grab it, but in fact he was afraid. He was worried that "Operation Mekong" would encounter a hit like "Fast 7" and accidentally become a stepping stone.

After finishing speaking, he held his breath and waited for Fang Ziheng's response.

On the other side of the phone, Fang Ziheng said nothing. He took out a cigarette and lit one, lost in thought.

call..

The smoke was thick and floating in the room, making Fang Ziheng look somewhat mysterious.

a long time

He flicked the cigarette ashes and smiled softly: "I agree with Yu Dong's opinion and adjust the schedule of "Operation Mekong"."

“Really, great”

Yu Dong's face lit up, and just as he was about to say thank you, he heard another 'but' coming from the other end of the phone.

"But, it's not moving back, it's moving forward!"

The calm and determined voice reached Yu Dong's ears through the phone, shocking him.

Move the schedule of "Operation Mekong" forward!

He thought he heard wrongly and asked again: "What did you say, move back or move forward..."

"Move it forward, move it to May 26."

Fang Ziheng took a deep breath and said decisively.

quiet..

It was very quiet on the phone.

After a long time, the sound of Yu Dongda breathing again came.

He frowned, thought for a while and asked in a solemn voice: "Why, Director Fang, isn't it more dangerous to move the schedule forward?"

Moving forward means that "Operation Mekong" will have to face the encirclement and suppression of five imported films alone.

"Tomorrowland", "Demon Slayer", "Doraemon, Stay with Me"

, "Submarine 5", "Armageddon".

If five imported films are released at the same time, "Operation Mekong" will probably be eaten up to the point where no one knows how it died.

Yu Dong shook his head and disagreed with this idea: "No, we absolutely cannot move forward. Director Fang, are you thinking about it?"

Eggs are the same...

Fang Ziheng had made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Dr. Yu, I think, instead of living on your knees, fighting domestic movies in July to grab the box office of domestic movies, it is better to take a trip into the muddy waters in June. , even if he dies, "Operation Mekong" will have to die standing up!"

Damn your sister!

Yu Dong's eyes widened and he almost cursed!

You, Fang Ziheng, are so crazy that you want to compete with Hollywood blockbusters, so don’t drag me into the water with you.

What does "Operation Mekong" mean when you die standing up? They are both dead. Is there any difference between standing and kneeling?

Also, why is it "Operation Mekong" and not "Wolf Warrior"!

No, neither can "Wolf Warrior". Bona bought half of the guaranteed release, and it can't be sent to die in June.

Just when Yu Dong was confused and angry, Fang Ziheng's voice came on the phone again.

This time, it was laughter.

"Haha... Yu Dong, don't worry, let me explain to you."

"Once "Operation Mekong" is moved to May 26, it will become the only domestic film in the film market in the next month. Other small-budget domestic films that are lucky enough will not be enough. "Operation Mekong" will definitely be Flag bearer!

Yu Dong, think about it, if "Operation Mekong" can gain a firm foothold and even dominate the box office amid the campaign of five movies, how do you think the media will view it, how will the public view it, and how will the audience view it? "

"At that time, "Operation Mekong" will definitely have several more titles, such as the guardian of domestic films, the protector of domestic films, and the one who fights alone in the world!"

hiss.

Fang Ziheng's words were like a shot in the arm, making Yu Dong take a breath and his eyes widened.

I'm going!

Is there such a benefit? Is it true?

In an instant, Yu Dong was moved, a trace of excitement flashed across his face, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Director Fang, I have a certain degree of confidence in "Operation Mekong". Even if it fails to dominate the box office in June, , it can also maintain its basic base and avoid losing too much market share to five imported films.

If it is true as Director Fang said, it is indeed worth a try. "

"But Director Fang, if you're not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. What if "Operation Mekong" attacks?"

"If you pounce, just pounce. No matter where you go, it's not pounce. If you go to June, you can always win a reputation as someone who is not afraid of Hollywood blockbusters!"

Fang Ziheng's eyes narrowed, his voice became a little louder, and he said nonchalantly.

If the quality of the movie is not good and the audience doesn't buy it, it will be the same no matter when it is released.

If the quality of the movie is good and he can stand up under the siege of a bunch of Hollywood blockbusters, his attitude will be completely different.

Another thing, others don't know, but Fang Ziheng has a clear mind.

The combat effectiveness of "Operation Mekong" is quite impressive. As long as you don't encounter a big hit, you can fight anyone for hundreds of rounds.

Afraid, it doesn’t exist!

In addition, there is something else that Fang Ziheng did not say.

The schedule that Yu Dong chose before was a bloody one, and it happened to coincide with "Jurassic World".

Damn it, what a crappy schedule, I might as well go to the muddy waters in June!

He vaguely remembered that in the first half of this year, there were three very good Hollywood movies.

The first "Fast 7" swept everything.

The second "Avengers 2" will be released soon.

The third "Jurassic World" will be released on June 10.

Although the latter two movies are not as scary as the first one, they are equally worth mentioning. They both have a box office of 1.5 billion.

Previously, Yu Dong had scheduled "Operation Mekong" to be released on June 12, which looked like a trap.

May 26th is different. It avoids "Avengers 2" and is two weeks away from "Jurassic World".

As long as there are no hits among the five imported movies in the campaign, "Operation Mekong" will almost rule the world in the past two weeks.

One is positive and the other is negative, there is no need to say which one to choose.

As for whether there are any hits among the five movies, Fang Ziheng said that he has many in his mind and is afraid of the wool!

Luck is mine!

【Shock! "Operation Mekong" has been announced with a high profile to be released in theaters! 】

Tengxun Entertainment: "Yesterday, Hengyu Interactive Entertainment and Bona Pictures issued a joint statement that the military action film "Operation Mekong" jointly produced and distributed by the two companies will be readjusted and moved from June 12 to May.

[The Chinese film market does not allow outsiders to act arrogantly! 】

NetEase Entertainment: "Everyone knows that it is dangerous to go here, but someone still has to stand up and say no. "Operation Mekong" can choose a release date with a low risk factor.

"We are waiting for the release of "Operation Mekong" and will definitely bring the whole family to the cinema to support it!"

"Hengyu and Bona are talented enough and have backbone!"

"That's the movie. Yesterday I was thinking about whether it could be released in advance, but my dream came true, haha."

"Support domestic films and support "Operation Mekong"!"

"Is it necessary to die like this?"

"That's right, investors' money is not money. If it goes to the street, who will lose the money!"

"Upstairs, what the hell are you talking about? You've been kneeling for so long!"

"Just because "Operation Mekong" dared to be released and has been surrounded by many Hollywood movies, it is great!"

"That's right, fearless and fearless, he is a great hero in domestic movies!"

Under the rhythm of the entertainment media, except for a few people who are not optimistic, a large number of netizens are excited to jump to their feet and express their inner excitement.

Even before it’s released, “Operation Mekong” is already a hit!
