Chapter 117 More uncomfortable
Chen Kexin has high hopes for "The Promise of Revenge"!
After he went north, his first movie was called "If Love", a song and dance film. It was very inconsistent with the mainland audience's way, and the box office was very bleak. It was released during the New Year holiday and encountered "The Promise", with a cumulative box office of 30 million...
Of course, overseas copyrights are sold well, otherwise, Bona would not have spent tens of millions of dollars on him...
To put it in, Chen Kexin didn’t understand the concept of blockbusters at the beginning. He really felt that “If Love” spent 70 to 80 million yuan, and invited Jacky Cheung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Chi Zhenxi, and Zhou Xun. The star cast lineup is enough, and it is definitely a blockbuster!
However, a mainland reporter told him, "If Love is not a blockbuster! "The Promise" is a blockbuster."
He didn't understand, but then he understood!
"The Promise" is a blockbuster, how do you see it?
It’s very simple. On the day of “The Promise”, there were 11 halls in a theater, and no one was left for “If Love” overnight!
"No country in the world is like this. Why? Because we don't have enough screens. When we want to watch a blockbuster, 11 halls are not enough."
So, he decided to make a blockbuster!
"The Crown of the Fame" is of course a blockbuster, with 300 million yuan in production funds being promoted to the public.
Of course, overseas copyrights have been sold for around 15 million US dollars, so the box office in the mainland can reach more than 200 million yuan, and the cost can be recovered through DVD, audio and video copyrights, etc.!
Holding Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Kim Sung-woo, and Chen Kexin are full of confidence!
Moreover, the publisher Yu Dong was very confident. After watching the film, he told him personally, "I dare not say 500 million, but 300 million is stable!"
What concept?
"The Golden Armor in the City" surpassed Zhang Yimou, and was crowned the throne of the box office champion director of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions!
Of course, I can't say that I'm not worried at all. The only thing he mentioned is "Assembly".
After all, it's a work of pants.
But he didn't care too much - how could the people recognize a movie about the People's Liberation Army? And there were no stars, so they were dirty from beginning to end.
He judged that the box office of "Assembly" can reach 100 million yuan.
I never expected that "Lost in the Road" would actually come out...
By the time they noticed, "Lost in the Road" had already begun and could not stop it!
...
The crew of "Lost in the Road" has been asked many questions about "The Enemy" and basically avoided answers. I was really forced to say, "The movie has not been released yet, so we don't have a good comment"...
Today, as usual, I asked about the "Vote for Revenge".
Shen Mengxi changed his usual routine and answered positively: "I know the story of "The Prophet of the Fame" and is adapted from the four major strange cases in the late Qing Dynasty, "The Stupid Horse"..."
The reporter who asked the question was stunned for a moment, then realized that Shen Mengxi wanted to say something, and then asked: "... Then do you have any expectations for "The Prophet of the Conquest"?"
"They have no expectations. Their release means that our "Lost in the Road" is about to be released. What can I expect?"
"Why do you say that?"
"As a blockbuster, a blockbuster with an investment of $40 million, our "Lost in the Road" is not worth mentioning!"
After a pause, Shen Mengxi said in a earnest tone: "I hope everyone will report more about our "Lost in the Road". We must add a sentence to watch our movie reputation and box office trends. If the box office is good, let the major theaters leave two halls. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to leave one hall!"
The reporters were satisfied...
At this stage, the Chinese media industry has become disgusted with blockbusters. No matter how the quality of the movie is, if you make a blockbuster, it is the original sin!
Domestic blockbusters = bad movies, which is a consensus among almost all film critics!
Such a good domestic comedy "Lost in the Road" was actually squeezed out because of a bad movie?
This is called the explosion point!
On the same day, at the promotional meeting of "The Voting of the Fame", Chen Kexin was asked this question. The latter was stunned for a moment, and then forced her to answer, "I believe the market is fair, and good movies must have a schedule."
Tsk, you complained that "If Love" was not this tone!
Chen Kexin immediately remembered Chen Mengxi's name and thought this guy was disgusting!
Haha, the disgusting thing is still behind!
One day later, on the 12th, "The Prophet of the Declaration" was released.
With Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Kim Sung-woo in charge, the cast star effect is obvious, the box office on the first day is quite good, and the first day exceeds 10 million!
To be precise: I collected tens of millions in six hours!
The publisher is China Film + Bona, and his dominance is solid, which also makes the film crew feel relieved for a while.
Unfortunately, the audience was not giving face and was squirting online.
‘Hundreds of money, a constant evolution!’
'Any movie with Xu Jinglei is definitely a bad movie!'
‘If you don’t like this movie, you just don’t like it. The scene is big and exciting enough, but it just doesn’t touch people’s hearts.’
'Chen Kexin is an idiot in history. After taking Shucheng, he inexplicably wanted to attack Suzhou and then attack Nanjing. Please look at the map. If you take Shucheng, you should continue to go south to Anqing 100 kilometers, and then go down the river to Wuhu to Nanjing. How did you run to Suzhou? The battle to defend Anqing in history was so exciting.'
Especially the last one, it was directly quoted by many film critics, and by the way, the historical level of the screenwriter under Diss is "Go to Nanjing, that's called Jiangning Mansion! Which Qing army dares to call this? There will be a secret report that you and Changmao are all the way! So Hong Kong directors are really not suitable for making historical films!'
All bad reviews!
Even if someone says, ‘I think the shot is real.’
It's useless, because most netizens say it's bad!
It's obvious that someone is leading the rhythm!
The hundreds of thousands of flowers in Chenmengxi are not white.
The publisher was so angry that he felt tooth pain when he saw these negative reviews!
It's really a matter of no reason to be troubled, and I'm confused about the name of the place name.
You can do it, but don’t make it!
...
"It's not very useful. The market is now thirsty. "The Legend of the Conquest" has big stars and a big production. Look, this movie has at least 150 million in the first week!"
Beijing, Mengxi Studio, Chen Mengxi chatted with Zhao Jinsong about the box office issues of "The Legend of the Contest"...
At this stage, online public opinion has a maximum impact on a movie of 10%, and it may be even smaller!
Especially for the New Year holiday, "Lost in the Road" is good, but it can only be considered a side dish. For many viewers, blockbusters are the main meals.
Just like Chen Kexin said, "Because the theater tickets are high, mainland audiences can watch less than two or three movies a year, so he must choose the biggest one. He chooses to watch other movies at home."
"Will it work if we slander this way?"
"Of course it works. You haven't watched "Lost in the Road" in the past few days, the box office trend has been more than 2 million in a single day. If this trend continues, we will be able to reach 84 million on the third weekend. As long as the cumulative box office exceeds 95 million, I will spend money to buy the box office and make it exceed 10 million!"
Zhao Jinsong nodded: "The box office of over 100 million is different from the box office of 95 million!"
"certainly!"
Chapter completed!
