You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 344 Cheng Long + Yang Mi \u003e\u003e Cheng Long + Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei (1, please double the monthly ticket for guarantee!)

Data from the film and television library shows that the original word-of-mouth score of "Avatar" was higher. Now the score is low, which may be due to "Inception".

Although the 3D effect is not as good as the other one, the plot and imagination of "Inception" are not false, especially the plot.

As the only two super 3D blockbusters in the world, they will inevitably be compared. Against the backdrop of "Inception", the 3D effects of "Avatar" are not as stunning as they are out of the ordinary, and the plot has been widely criticized. .

However, because "Inception" has developed the 3D market, the box office of "Avatar" in its first week in North America and even in the world has been greatly improved compared to the original time and space. Without being released in the mainland, the global box office in its first week exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars, creating a A new film history record.

Han Sanping is also concerned about the box office situation of "Avatar" in his office. He is very conflicted in his heart. He hopes that the movie will be a big hit in the mainland and increase the total box office next year, so that the mainland box office will exceed the 10 billion mark. This year is No chance.

At the same time, he does not want "Avatar" to break the box office myth of "Inception", not only at the domestic box office, but also at the global box office. He hopes that Wang Quan's godhood will be stronger, and it is best to lead Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers to the world. .

However, looking at this, the overseas market performance of "Avatar" is not even a little bit better than that of "Inception". The appeal that Cameron has accumulated over decades cannot be matched by King Power in a short time.

So Han Sanping has a second dilemma. Wang Quan stays in Hollywood and strives to surpass Cameron and become the world's number one director. It is great, but wanting to return to China to make Chinese-language films is also a great thing for the mainland film and television industry. But It will be difficult to improve its international status.

Damn, this guy is so brave!

Turning his attention back to China, Han Sanping finally felt a little relieved as he watched the box office of "Crazy Racing" rising steadily.

If the growth and rise of Wang Quan has little to do with him, then Ning Hao was cultivated by himself after all. He has his own figure behind his three theater movies. He is the man behind him, and he is the mainland version. Kingship.

It has only been seven days since the movie was released. Thanks to its strong reputation, the box office of "Crazy Racer" has officially exceeded the 100 million mark!

Ning Hao is only 32 years old, six years younger than Lu Chuan. For the director industry, he is definitely a young talent. He can be regarded as the rising sun and a flower in the film and television industry.

With the reputation and momentum shown by "Racing", the box office exceeded that of "Jinling!" Jinling! 》 is not a problem, and the production cost of the film is only 10 million, it is a profitable business.

It seems that Ning Hao is more worthy of cultivation than Lu Chuan. The organization has to put more burdens on him. He can definitely break out of comedy and shoot more ambitious themes. Unfortunately, "Wolf Totem" has been confirmed to be directed by French director Jean-Jacques Annaud. Now, I have to talk to Xiao Ning about the new film plan later and speed up the process.

It was also a blockbuster in 2006. Wang Quan has already released eight movies, and two more movies are almost finished. Ning Hao only has three movies, which is unacceptable!

Ning Hao is now very satisfied. He has exceeded 100 million in seven days, which has exceeded his expectations. Even if the space is completely occupied by "Zodiac" and "Avatar" later, he will not lose money.

"Twelve Zodiac" was released today, and he specially invited Huang Bo's wife to watch the movie in the cinema. Of course, his wife and Huang Bo were also there.

Now Huang Bo has awards and box office, and he is proud of his horse's hoofs. When he goes to the cinema, he has to be fully armed for fear of being recognized.

When the two of them were chatting, Ning Hao learned that Huang Bo had so many books that he couldn't even look at them. They were all male protagonists, and based on what had happened in the past few days, it didn't look like he was bragging when he looked sincere.

After winning the Best Actor Award in Berlin, Huang Bo also took supporting roles in "Yueguang Treasure Box" and "Fist of Heroes: Chen Zhen", but there will probably be fewer such opportunities in the future. In addition to guest appearances, only Wang Quan and Ning Hao A great director can let him act as a voice actor.

Ning Hao was a little envious. He was a good actor and could just wait for others to hand him a book to make a selection. But as a director, he had to set up a stage and sing the show himself. But what was he going to film next? A crazy series? He felt that he was worthless, so Quan'er knew it was time to laugh at him.

The Lunar New Year period is lively. It’s like Chinese New Year in the cinema, with Three Guns, Racing, Chinese Zodiac, and the upcoming Avatar. Audiences also have enough choices. In the past few years, many times there was only one movie in the cinema at the same time. Movies to watch.

Among them, "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was the most powerful, with the slogan of being the last super blockbuster in 2009. They also saw the young men and women gathering in the next room, carrying banners of the Yang Mi Fans Support Association, and they clicked their tongues.

Then the movie officially started, and the audience was full. Unexpectedly, Wang Quan's script has always had a good rhythm, full of laughter and curses, and it was particularly smooth, and it also added feelings of family and country.

In addition to Cheng Long's usual action style, this movie also adds more big scenes. The part of climbing the Burj Khalifa is even more amazing. Looking at the final behind-the-scenes footage of Cheng Long, it turns out that it's not special effects. He actually climbed to the top of the Burj Khalifa for filming. Even with Wia, this is still an old man in his fifties!

And there are more than just thrilling scenes. While retaining the elements of Cheng Long's kung fu comedy, King Power also adds more elements of Hollywood commercial blockbusters to make it more international.

This film also has a lot of dialogue in English, and a small amount of French. Of course, the dialogue is mainly in Chinese, and the leading actors are all Chinese.

Cheng Long is the absolute core, the heroine Yang Mi is very beautiful, the second male lead Xiao Ming is responsible for being cool and evil, and the second female lead Zhang Zilin is the most impressive.

Although she has no foundation in kung fu, she has excellent physical fitness, coupled with her invincible long legs, she has completed many eye-catching performances.

Walking out of the screening room, Ning Hao and Huang Bo looked at each other, counting on the reputation of "Zodiac" to boost their popularity, so that it would be impossible for "Crazy Racing" to counterattack all the way. The quality of the opponent is so strong, they can only go head-to-head.

The next day, Maoyan updated yesterday’s box office data. Although it was a working day, Chinese people are now keen on celebrating foreign holidays. Yesterday was Christmas Eve, also known as the day when the virgin disappeared. Many people would symbolically watch a movie before checking in. Meaning , showing that he is not so impatient, so the overall box office yesterday and Thursday was 30% higher than Wednesday.

"Zodiac" on its first day of release was undoubtedly the best performer, with a single-day box office of 42 million, which was twice as much as last year's "Kung Fu King"!

"Crazy Racing" also withstood the heavy pressure and collected another 11 million at the box office in a single day.

Although the reputation of "Zodiac" is slightly lower than that of "Crazy Racing", it still has a high score of 9.3 on Maoyan. It is definitely the kind of movie that you can buy without losing money.

Yang Mi's hundreds of fan groups are also calling on bees to use the cat's eye when buying tickets. After watching the movie, they can give five stars to increase the score. On the first day, fans also organized some movie-booking activities. , but that way you can’t score it on Maoyan, so you’re at a disadvantage in this regard.

Fans are very active. Afterwards, the Maoyan score of "Zodiac" quickly rose to 9.4, while Douban also had a score of 7.3, which is considered excellent for a commercial action film.

On Saturday, the third day of its release, the box office of "Zodiac" reached its peak, exceeding 60 million, setting a record for the highest single-day box office for a Chinese-language film!

In the end, the film grossed 185 million at the box office in its first four days!

This figure is already very close to Cheng Long's mainland record of 192 million for "The King of Kung Fu", which is the best, and it will be surpassed on Monday!

And don’t forget that there is New Year’s Day coming up, and New Year’s Day is a holiday, so even if “Avatar” is eyeing it later, “Twelve Zodiac” has a box office of 300 million in the mainland, and even 400 million is expected to challenge it.

This made Yang Mi, who was promoting the movie in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, very happy. Humph, Liu Yifei, what are you comparing to me?

She made a calculation, Cheng Long + Li Lianjie + Liu Yifei, with a box office of 190 million.

Cheng Long + Yang Mi, box office of 300 million to 1 billion!

What does this mean? No offense to Brother Jie, but Liu Yifei is simply inferior, hahahaha!

This method of settling accounts was something she saw on Weibo when her fans were arguing with her fans. After reading it, she was convinced that her fans were indeed very smart, so just follow me!

However, she obviously selectively ignored that the movie also included popular niche actor Huang Xiaoming, action star Wu Jing and others.

And the most important thing is that the screenwriter of this movie is Wang Quan! It is also the only Chinese-language film with King Quan as the main screenwriter!

For several other Chinese-language films related to Wang Quan, Wang Quan only provided creative ideas, and the script creation was completed by others. Only "Zodiac" was made by Wang Quan, who consulted a lot of information and watched many action movies, which took more than a year. It was completed in a timely manner, and he was very careful in the sequence of his works. Many viewers bought tickets because of his name.

Therefore, for "Zodiac" to be a box office hit in the mainland, Cheng Long's mass base, Wang Quan's super popularity, and Yang Mi's fans' enthusiasm to rush to the box office in the first place are all indispensable.

Yang Mi can be regarded as the first top movie star in mainland China. She and Li Yuchun in the music industry are known as the twin empires. Many of the operations of her group of fans have been inherited and carried forward by future generations of traffic fans.

As the main investor and director of the film, Cheng Long is very happy that the film has been loved by so many audiences in the mainland. However, the size of the mainland film market is not enough for the film to recover its costs. He is even more looking forward to the film's performance in North America and even around the world.

In order to obtain a higher global box office, the mainstream version of this film released in North America is the English dubbing version. Only the original version is shown in some Chinese-inhabited areas, just like "Red Zone" back then. Therefore, the box office ranking of foreign language films in North America Statistics will not be included in the rankings.

The main actors in the film basically dub themselves. Cheng Long, Yang Mi, Zhang Zilin, and Li Zongsheng can all complete the dubbing alone, but their mouth shapes are still flawed.

Huang Xiaoming, Wu Jing and others will have to use voice actors. Xiao Ming vowed to practice English hard and never make too many mistakes again!

Except for dubbing, when promoting the movie overseas, the names of Cheng Long and Wang Quan are basically juxtaposed. Wang Quan, as a screenwriter and producer, has the same character size as Cheng Long, and is very conspicuous on the poster.

In fact, the main investors of this movie are Yinghuang and Cheng Long themselves, followed by Huayi, Qiankun, Wangdao and Mishi. For the sake of Wang Quan, Mishi also became one of the producers.

But in fact, Wang Quan did not really participate in the production. This kind of gameplay is just like when "Heroes" was released when Harvey printed the unrelated Quentin Tarantino on the poster. Who made the two have a strong relationship? Woolen cloth.

However, Wang Quan is not irrelevant. He wrote the story, so there is nothing wrong with using him to promote it. Many viewers took advantage of this and went to the cinema. The market was promising, and the film opened with a scale of 3100. .

Seven new films were released in North America this week, and none of them can compete with "Avatar." The cumulative box office of "Avatar" has approached 300 million U.S. dollars. It is all aimed at setting a record in film history. However, because the film's 2D performance was not good, it is The influence of other films is not too great.

Ranking first among new films is Guy Ritchie's new film "Sherlock Holmes," starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. It grossed 60 million at the box office in its first weekend. Downey is now considered a legitimate celebrity.

Followed by the second part of "Rat", which is from Fox like "Avatar", and took in $45 million at the box office.

The third new film is "Zodiac", with a box office of 32 million, which is far less than the 49 million of "Rush Hour". However, considering that this is a "translated film" for American audiences, this result is quite impressive. .

There is another Indian movie this week. Like "Zodiac", it stars Indian superstars and is dubbed in English. However, the box office in its first week was only 1.6 million U.S. dollars, ranking 13th on the weekly list. This movie is called "Three Idiots", starring Aamir Khan, Chinese translation "Three Idiots Make Trouble in Bollywood".

Wang Quan is far away from the crew and has not forgotten to care about the box office of "Twelve Zodiac Signs". When he saw the North American box office, his heart dropped. It seems that it will not lose money.

In addition, the box office of this movie in Southeast Asia and the Middle East shows Cheng Long's super appeal and breaks various records. Although the market is small, the cumulative sum is a very impressive figure.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Wang Quan, "Please come in."

Ma Ling came in, and two days after Wang Quan's return, the crew leadership returned to Wang Quan, and Anthony Hopkins had just been wrapped, and the filming of the movie was coming to an end.

"What's the matter?" Wang Quan asked when he saw it was Ma Ling.

Ma Ling shook the document in his hand and said, "I'll copy the homework."

The Oscar nomination ballots have been distributed, and it’s the time of year to compete for the Olympics. Ma Ling is also an Oscar judge, so naturally she has to vote.

It's just that Wang Quan is in the directing department now, and Ma Ling is in the screenwriting department, so the division of labor is slightly different.

The two discussed and sorted out the votes, and they basically voted for their own companies, including "The Hurt Locker", "Silver Linings Playbook", "In the Cloud" and "Inception".

To be honest, there are too many cards that Dragon Head can play this year. Any one of them has the status of a statuette. It is simply an enhanced version of Miramax. "Inception" has to be moved back a little because it is too strong as a commercial film. Let's focus on it first. Author of "The Hurt Locker" and "Silver Linings Playbook."

Next year's Oscars are very suspenseful for Wang Quan, but he is even more curious that Dragon Head's North American annual box office will rank among the top six in Hollywood this time. New Year's Day is coming soon.

2009 is fleeting and I miss it so much...

(Everyone is so awesome. We are already ranked 101st. Let’s continue sprinting towards the top 100!)
