Chapter 43 Let it go! (1/5)

Chen Guofu rarely speaks big talk!

His image has always been polite and elegant...

Why do you suddenly speak loudly?

He was anxious!

There are too many movies during the National Day holiday this year: Zhou Runfa's "Bronze Bird Platform", Zhang Ziyi + Zhang Dongjian's "Dangerous Relationship", Fan Bingbing also has "Second Exposure", and "The Big Winner" directed by Xu Zheng, written by Chen Mengxi, and produced by Ning Hao...

The National Day cake is so big, and your opponent is no weaker than you!

How much can "Tai Chi" get?

Moreover, Chen Guofu himself may not be optimistic about "Tai Chi", but the cost of two movies plus a 220 million yuan is really not very good. The male lead is not kung fu superstar Li Lianjie, but a martial arts champion Yuan Xiaochao with no acting experience, and director Feng Delun only has the experience of shooting small-cost movies.

He had to grit his teeth...

Because he made this project!

It is said that Huayi is not very optimistic about "Tai Chi" within, but Chen Guofu insists on doing...

Because "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" became acquainted with the Huayi brothers, he successively produced movies such as "No Thieves in the World", "If You Are the One", "The Great Tangshan Earthquake", "1942", and "Li Mi's Conjecture", becoming the first "10 billion producer" in the mainland. At that time, everyone thought his career was in full swing, but there was a crisis.

In the eyes of outsiders, Huayi and Chen Guofu are a perfect match, but Chen Guofu, who is a director, still has an artistic person. In his opinion, the decision of where the movie goes is definitely not a financial expert or a studio leader, but a gambler artist!

He has a classic quote: Making movies is like gambling, because there are some standards for judging other industries, but there is no unified standard for the art industry to refer to!

He plays the role of "gambler" in Huayi!

But this is inconsistent with the investors' demand for making a movie to make a profit.

If you bet right, everyone will be happy.

After Huayi went public, it made a fortune in "If You Are the One" and "Tangshan Earthquake" in 2010.

But in 2011, there was a downward trend.

In addition to "New Shaolin Temple", it is possible that it has made a little money, movies such as "Global Love", "Snowflake Secret Fan", "Starry Sky", "Happy Magic", "The Legend of the Little Water Tiger" have suffered heavy losses.

It is difficult to verify how much responsibility Chen Guofu bears in these money-lossing movies, but in those years, the new directors of Huayi Investment were basically from Taiwan...

Lin Shuyu in "Starry Sky" and Du Jiayi in "Roading the Mountain"...

Both films have suffered huge losses!

Especially "Starry Sky", the box office of $15 million was not reached 15 million yuan...

In 2012, Huayi urgently needed to occupy the first place in the market, at least he had to compete with Tang Ren - he had to make a blockbuster.

So, I made a steampunk + kung fu blockbuster!

But this is not a reason you can be arrogant.

Chen Mengxidao: "In this way, you asked the official Weibo of "Big Winner" to reply: Domestic comedy has almost reached the billion-dollar stage? Is it either "Big Winner" or "One Scene to the End", "Lost in Thailand"? I advise my colleagues to waste their juices..."

Before it was over, Zhao Jinsong said again: "The Ring Messenger may also be scheduled for National Day!"

“… “Ring Messenger”?”

"A Sino-US co-production film...it is said to be a DMG investment..."

"Report upward? Our Source Code does not dare to occupy the National Day file? Why is it?"

Zhao Jinsong nodded: "Then I'll contact a few more people..."

"…Well, it's better to contact Tong Gang directly..."

...

"There are many foreign movies now? A complete American story, some domestic investment funds? Invest some money? Add some Chinese elements and bring a Chinese actor, which is called a 'co-production film'. In fact, it can only be considered a 'post-film film'? This is very terrible!"

"Currently, some imported films have been transformed into the mainland market as "co-production films" due to the injection of domestic funds. They are not subject to any restrictions. This not only causes a large amount of film investment funds to flow away, but also squeezes the market space, posing a threat to domestic films. Co-production films do not account for the proportion of account-sharing films? When they enter the mainland market, they are actually equivalent to increasing the share of imported films? It will naturally squeeze the box office of domestic films."

"It is customary for commercial blockbusters with a cost of more than 100 million US dollars to inject funds from many countries? From this perspective, most Hollywood blockbusters are already co-productions!"

"I am very disgusted with this kind of opportunistic approach? We do co-production films? The main purpose is to borrow a boat to go overseas? Open up the overseas market and arrange behind-the-scenes personnel to learn overseas technology. Chinese staff account for 1/3 of the "Source Code" and Chinese staff account for 3/5 of the "Great Wall". Later, special effects, 75% are produced in China... This is the meaning of co-production films. If you can speculate, then I will immediately arrange a supporting role for "The Hunger Games". Does it mean that "The Hunger Games" is also a co-production film?"

"If this happens, then I won't make domestic movies in the future. I will immediately transform into an investment fund and specifically invest in Hollywood blockbusters..."

Shen Mengxi posted a Weibo...

Direct @官网彩彩彩彩.

In fact, it is aimed at "Ring Messenger", "Iron Man 3" and "Cloud Map"...

All three movies are projected as co-production!

I'm very unhappy, why can I launch a project with a co-production film?

Why is the focus back on the co-production?

Mainly boring...

"Teacher Diary" was one-on-two, and first fought head-on with "The Wind Listener", and its reputation and box office steadily suppressed "The Wind Listener"...

"The Wind Listener" is Zhou Xun + Liang Chaowei, released on the same day, ending the first week, and "The Wind Listener" has a box office of only 102 million yuan;

The next week, "Teacher's Diary" encountered "The Lost Bullet" again, and it was still true.

"The Lost Bullet" was released on Tuesday on August 14, with a box office of 79 million in the first week, and a box office of 92 million in the next week, with a cumulative box office of 242 million in the next week...

Reputation and popularity have steadily surpassed "The Lost Bullet"...

No, the popularity is a bit bad. "The Lost Bullet" has Yang Xiaomi...

There were also rumors before the release of "The Lost Bullet", Yang Xiaomi finally "joined" with her idol in the movie - Come on, the picture above!

But it’s useless. No matter who plays with or who stares with, as long as he is the protagonist, there will be no box office of more than 200 million yuan!

Yang Xiaomi can't carry it either!

So, Shen Mengxi was a little bored...

He likes to read his circle of friends when he is bored, and then he sees Wang Changtian complaining that "The Ring Messenger" has been airborne in the National Day holiday...

Resonated!

How can we fight and make trouble? What a fucking messenger?

Why enter the National Day holiday?

Still co-production?

Xu Qing plays a foreigner's wife, did she appear? It's less than 3 minutes long. Is this also called a co-production film?

It is said that there are people on DMG...

Chen Mengxi is too lazy to care about these things. "Batman" and "Spider-Man" must be painted on the same day. Why can "Ring Messenger" enter the National Day holiday?
Chapter completed!
