Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

In late July, Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences was released for 20 days.

The average daily box office of the film has dropped below 10 million.

And now, the total box office of the Reminiscence chapter has also exceeded one billion, reaching one billion and sixty million.

And this movie will be released in ten days, and the outside world generally believes that the total box office of the Reminiscences will remain between 1.1 billion and 1.2 billion.

Of course, based on estimates from the existing data, Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences has basically locked in the summer box office champion in advance. After all, the summer box office is the second largest original sin. Now the total box office is still hovering at more than 700 million, and it will be released in the remaining ten days. During the deadline, it is absolutely impossible to overtake.

Jing Yu became famous after fighting with his Blue Star Culture Film and Television Company.

The media in the movie industry kept reporting about Jing Yu.

At the same time, there has been an endless stream of film investors visiting the door these days, all of them wanting to take advantage of the door.

If you want to say that Jing Yu is so popular in the film industry just because of Rurouni Kenshin's Memories, that's not true. But this movie basically made most fans of Da Zhou have a deep impression of Jing Yu's name and his appearance.

The so-called film and television star has never been able to become a big star with just one or two works, even the most popular works, but Jing Yu took the work of Remembrance as the first step into the film industry. It has already made many film investors Smell something else.

Many people came to the door and offered very generous conditions, but without exception, they were all in the long-term cooperation model. Jing Yu has just been liberated from Yunteng, so it is naturally impossible to agree to this.

"But just reject them like this. Maybe they will trip us up in the future!" Cheng Lie was a little worried.

"It doesn't matter, it's impossible for me to let them take advantage of me because of the threat of possibility." Jing Yu said with a smile.

He also understands that for some films, some capital is deliberately invested, and what they value is the power of those capitals in other aspects of the film market.

For example, if the distributor or the theater has invested in a certain film, they will definitely give priority to their own works when they announce and arrange the film.

At this time, letting others invest is actually a kind of interest exchange.

This is the same reason that it is difficult for a sole proprietorship to grow bigger.

But these people obviously came to take advantage of it, and they asked me how much money I promised you, and you signed with me for ten or eight years.

"But starting tomorrow, we'll be running around promoting Love Letters for a full week!" Jing Yu skipped the topic and shifted the topic of discussion to the movie Love Letters.

"Now many people with pink eyes in the movie industry are waiting to see our jokes, including those in the TV drama industry," Cheng Lie said.

"Then they will definitely be disappointed." Jing Yu said.

"However, Jing Yu, what do you think will happen to the movie Love Letter after it's released?" Cheng Lie asked curiously.

Although Jing Yu was full of mysteries in his eyes, there was one thing Cheng Lie admired.

That is Jing Yu's judgment.

In many cases, the reason why Jing Yu's works are popular is not that the quality of Jing Yu's scripts is much higher than that of Da Zhou's screenwriter colleagues, but that Jing Yu's works, storylines, classifications, and focus are not the same as Da Zhou's. Same.

Just like everyone on the street is selling barbecue, if your family sells fresh and refined bean curd, the business will definitely be very good.

But everyone knows the truth, but is it useful?

If you want to create a different work, there must be no problem, but if you want to create a different and successful work, how can it be so simple?

Developing new themes and writing new plots requires trial and error costs. A drama requires tens of millions of investment. If your so-called confident new plot is poisonous to the audience and leads to serious losses, then your screenwriting career will It's basically the end, who dares to bet.

Many creators would rather do nothing so as not to make mistakes.

That's why Da Zhou's movies and TV dramas have been seriously homogenized in recent years, full of routines and plots. At most, audiences complain about plots and routines, but they won't buy it.

But Jing Yu was different. The script he produced was different from Da Zhou's system.

Da Zhou's screenwriter, does anyone dare to write Go? It also has a thousand-year-old chess spirit. Someone made a racing drama, but who would have imagined a mountain racing car that pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger? Whoever dares to shoot, even if they dare to shoot, who dares to cuckold the male lead, and the female lead can bring her own godfather at the beginning of the game? Steins;Gate took the brains and time to play, as did Rurouni Kenshin, the style is very different from Dazhou's martial arts historical movies.

Every work of Jing Yu does not follow the usual path. There are poisonous points, but it is just right. While being topical, it also maintains a suitable scale. Every work perfectly captures the hearts of the audience, just like his Although the work is only at the script stage, it is actually a good script that has been tested by the market. And this, Cheng Lie can only attribute to Jing Yu's judgment on the market is too strong.

"A love letter?" Jing Yu paused when he heard this, and said with a smile.

"I'm not sure about the box office. But."

"Word-of-mouth, it won't be worse than Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences, or even better! I still want to win prizes with love letters!"

"With your words, I feel relieved."

Cheng Lie took a long breath, then poured a glass of sparkling water for Jing Yu and himself.

"Although today is only July 26th, my self-confidence has been inflated by your words. Let's first... wish the love letter a great success like Rurouni Kenshin's Reminiscences!"

July 27

It has been twenty days since the movie Rurouni Kenshin: Reminiscences was released.

The attention of fans of the big week has shifted from the movie released more than half a month ago to the most recent schedule, Qixi Festival.

To put it bluntly, movies are closely related to the holidays of the Great Week.

War historical films for the founding of the army, dramatic comedies for the Spring Festival, and Chinese Valentine's Day, all of which are naturally romance films.

However, it is different from the big time slots of the summer holidays. For the Qixi Festival, there is not such a big market, and the time slots are short.

Therefore, the number of movies released that day is not comparable to that of the summer vacation. The total number of new movies released, including love letters, is exactly ten

Among them, the investment in love letters ranks fourth among them.

The highest total investment is Xia Meng, a collaboration between Dazhou's well-known and well-known love movie screenwriter Huang Zhiyu and famous director Wang Ande, with a total investment of 110 million.

This movie is the first time the two have collaborated. The last time the two collaborated was also on the Qixi Festival two years ago. With a love movie, Haiming, the total box office of the movie was 722 million, and it won the first place in the Qixi festival that year. box office champion.

And this box office is also the highest-grossing movie in the history of the Chinese New Year's Qixi Festival.

Of course, this highest has moisture
