Who are you calling powerful?

Because this year's National Day falls on Sunday, the holiday was early, so the curtain of the National Day file was opened on the day before October 1, which was Saturday, September 30.

There was even a movie that was released in advance on September 29 because it wanted to seize the opportunity.

"Sky Hunter" directed and acted by Da Hei Niu

In the current environment where cross-border directors are very popular, this old guy couldn't hold back his ambition and saved up a project.

What surprised Boss Wei was that this guy finally saved up.

You know, Da Hei Niu didn't participate in "Running Man" in this time and space, and he didn't have any contact with Fan Xiaopang. At best, he was a second-tier star and couldn't rank in the circle.

Previously, because of calculating Liu Tianxian, he asked Liu Shishi and Boss Wei to take the blame, but he was made disgraced and infamous.

Under such circumstances, he was able to come up with this project, and the producer still had an air force.

Even though this year is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, and all parties are willing to support military themes, Boss Wei still admits that he has two brushes, and it is no wonder that some people speculate that he has a background.

Da Hei Niu also knows that his name is not enough, so he pulled Li Bingbing to play the female lead, and the actor configuration is much stronger than in his previous life, and he also invited many big names to make guest appearances.

But in this way, the cost can't be stopped!

According to the publicity of the film company, this movie has an investment of more than 200 million. In his previous life, Da Hei Niu could fool Fan Xiaopang for free or invest at a discount, but Li Bingbing didn't buy it, and the same is true for other actors.

Just the salary of these people alone, 50 million is probably not enough, and this is 30%.

It is said that this movie was filmed abroad, the scene is not small, and a large number of foreign actors were used. In addition, the air force special effects are probably not less. Is the remaining money enough?

The most important thing is, can it make back the investment?

Wei Yang didn't know that this 200 million package did not include publicity and distribution. Even if it was included, the box office would have to be more than 600 million to make back the investment.

In the current film market, this number is not large, but it is definitely not small.

It can be seen that investors are still very cautious about the movie "Sky Hunter", with a total of nearly 20 producers and co-producers.

High EQ: Da Hei Niu has a wide network of contacts and can find so many financial backers

Low EQ: Investors are extremely conservative about the prospects, so more than a dozen companies work together, and even if they lose money, the losses of each company are not big

However, Da Hei Niu himself is still very confident and is very active during the promotion period.

This is mainly because of the confidence given to him by the summer movie "Wolf Warrior 2", which is a military theme and the main theme, and also has the so-called overseas hostage rescue scenes.

"Wolf Warrior 2" is just a rifle + hand-to-hand combat, with a tank and a warship at most, "Sky Hunter" is a fighter.

The combat effectiveness is not at the same level at all!

The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is 5.8 billion, and he also knows that there is too much chance, so he can accept a 2.9 billion discount.

It is not easy to save this project, and Da Hei Niu has paid a lot of price. He wants to make a comeback with this movie.

Therefore, in order to increase exposure, Da Hei Niu did all kinds of things to promote himself. He promoted Wolf Warrior 2 in China, saying it was the Air Force version of Wolf Warrior, and Top Gun abroad, saying that Sky Hunter was the best air combat film in China and that he was the Chinese version of Tom Cruise.

As a result, when the movie was released, the entire crew was dumbfounded.

The first-day box office was 22.08 million!

This is the first-day box office, the peak single-day box office of most movies, and Sky Hunter was released in advance, and the hard-core movies of the same period had not yet been released. He deliberately created a time difference, and with this result, is there any hope for the future?

The box office was a flop, and the reputation was also extremely bad. Douban, Weibo, Zhihu and other platforms all opened fire.

[Worth the ticket price, by the way, the ticket was free]

[A bunch of sissies playing house with chest hair]

[Although I don't like Wu Jing, compared with "Wolf Warrior", it is really insulting]

[Star crossover directors should just keep quiet, not everyone has the talent to be a director, Li Chen doesn't understand what dramatic tension is, the narrative structure is a mess, the heroine appears inexplicably, and the thin character setting leaves me speechless]

[How should I put it, in fact, there are no particularly big thunder points, but it is very mediocre and boring to make people drowsy]

[This movie was released too timely, it saved countless film projects, put the brakes on the military fever after "Wolf Warrior 2", and blocked a bunch of "War Tiger", "War Dragon" and "War XX\
