Chapter 155 Malicious... (4/6)
"Red Cliff" cost 120 million US dollars and took two years to create!
China Film Group attaches great importance to this project. After all, "Titanic" has dominated the domestic movie box office rankings for eleven years...
This is a shame for Chinese films!
Lao Touzi once used "Hero" and "Golden Armor" to hit twice, both of which ended in failure...
The third master couldn't wait, he wanted to do it himself!
1.2 Based on the investment amount, China Film Co., Ltd. bears 20%!
That's US$24 million, close to 150 million!
It is not only the highest investment in the history of Chinese films, but also the highest investment film in China Film...
By the way, China Film invested 20% of the money, and what it wanted was the box office sharing in the mainland...
Unfortunately, there are constant conflicts during production!
At the beginning, it was a change of roles. The original Zhou Yu was Zhou Runfa. Because Chow Yun-fat's salary was too high and the requirements were too excessive, China Film asked Hu Zongming to change roles in the last battle, and Liang Chao-fa...
Halfway through, there was not enough funds - the originally planned shooting cost was US$85 million, and another US$35 million was added...
It's been finished very quickly and it's about to be released.
Third Master definitely hopes that "Red Cliff" can be a big hit!
So, if you choose a good schedule, it is best to have no opponents before and after...
However, Zhang Junsheng's "Crazy Stone" is scheduled to be released on June 20...
This is very bad!
What if the reputation is good and affects the first day of "Red Cliff" box office?
So, he hopes that Yuehua can take a step back, for example, release in August!
As for "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" released on August 10, he can't control whether the two movies will hit themselves...
He really didn't know that Li Mingze did so many things behind his back and raised the situation?
Do you say you can get the file up?
The screenings of China, Japan and South Korea at the same time have been agreed upon. July 2nd...
"...If you want to fight, I will fight!"
After reading this interview with "Entertainment Weekly", the third master called out his secretary and asked him to make an appointment with Li Mingze and Hu Zongming!
Of course, he wanted to suppress Yuehua. If "Crazy Stone" failed to defeat the Palme d'Or, the third master might really support "Red Cliff" against "Crazy Stone", but now, the other party's momentum has become...
...
After returning from Cannes, Wang Bo truly felt the difference in his identity!
The most intuitive change is that the scripts I found were obviously changing, and there were also many endorsements and commercial performances...
Even received an invitation from "Very Perfect", and the other party offered a pay of 3 million!
"Very Perfect", International Chapter, Starring Fat Bing...
Damn, 3 million?
"Crazy Racing", his salary is only 500,000 yuan, which is directly increased by six times?
As young people, they succeed too quickly, and they will inevitably get lost. Fortunately, they have extraordinary emotional intelligence. When facing the interview, they pushed all their credit to the director and screenwriter, describing themselves as a lucky elementary school student...
But in private, I still indulged it for a few times.
I will inevitably pay attention to my style. I am the best actor!
I secretly met several investors and brokerage companies, and compared them, it was more comfortable to stay in Yuehua...
These were all what Wang Bo told Zhang Junsheng drunk many years later...
...
After returning from Cannes, he had only had a day off and Zhang Junsheng fell into a busy work of reform again!
"Tengou" is released!
Actually, Yuehua didn’t have much expectation of the box office of "Tengou". Such a rural-themed movie ended up killing eight million!
Last year's "Glorious Anger" had a huge reputation. What's the box office?
Not nearly 100,000 yuan...
Maybe the distribution company had never thought about letting it go to theaters, and only released 2 copies - it was sold directly to the movie channel!
So, don’t say that the reputation is so great that you lose all your money, and you’re making money!
Otherwise, how could Cao Baoping's second movie "Li Mi's Conjecture" get an investment of 6 million yuan?
The production cost of "Tengou" is 4 million, and the export version is sold for US$12 million. After Wang Bo won the award, many more film manufacturers bought films...
Movie Channel bought the TV copyright for 2 million yuan...
Yuehua has made nearly 60 million...
The movie channel is also one of the producers, and it accounts for one-third of the profit share!
So, can "Tengou" be sold well in the country and what impact will it have?
Of course it has an impact, which is related to Wang Bo's appeal!
After all, it is a work of gods. If the box office fails to sell well, some people will definitely suspect that Wang Bo is the kind of actor who cannot bear the box office...
A Cannes movie star, Wang Bo is already one of Yuehua's business cards.
So, with a wave of his hand to the company's publicity department, he directly issued 8 million yuan in publicity funds...
On May 28, "Tengou" won a box office of 9 million with 48% of the screening volume!
Not too high, but it has set a record for crime themes...
It's so well-known...
"It's shocking. The story itself is shocking. The filming of the movie reminds people of reality and makes people feel uncomfortable. Wang Bo's acting skills are shocking. As expected, the Cannes actor deserves its reputation!"
"The characters can stand up, the plot is smooth, and the editing is done with flashbacks and regular narratives interspersed without being messed up. The overall completion is particularly good. I must praise Wang Bo, and the acting is really good!"
"Shocking the soul, Wang Bo has done this show!"
On the second day of release, the box office was 8.8 million, and on the third day, the box office was 6 million...
The decreasing trend is very obvious. The theaters have gradually reduced the screening schedule, and the box office is only about 40 million at most...
There is no way, such depressing movies are usually not very good at box office, and there are a lot of competitors in the same period, such as "Legend of Narnia 2", "The First Blood 4", "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", and "Shinjuku Story" starring Yan Shilong...
...
"Entertainment Weekly" is currently the most widely circulated entertainment magazine in China.
Yang Li is a ruthless person. The day after the interview, he wrote in the latest issue of "Entertainment Weekly" 'If you want to fight, I will fight'...
I know how to take advantage of the situation!
Of course, he knew the attention of "Red Cliff" and Zhang Junsheng's attention, cleverly opposing the two.
Then don't attract too much attention!
Not only is the current "Entertainment Weekly" sold out, but there are also many people on the Internet discussing "Red Cliff" and Zhang Junsheng...
Most of them support Zhang Junsheng!
"I definitely support our boss. They are pressing forward step by step, why should we retreat?"
"The circle is too complicated. I originally thought Zhang Junsheng was already powerful enough, but I didn't expect there were even more powerful!"
"After all, it's "Red Cliff"... If I were Zhang Junsheng, I might have really agreed to withdraw for one month..."
"Are you stupid? "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" was released in August. Will "Crazy Stone" compete for the box office with it?"
"Does Hu Zongming have shit in his brain? Why do he have to compete with "Crazy Stone"?"
"It's probably to prove my box office appeal!"
"Is there something wrong with the production cost of "Red Cliff" of $120 million!"
Online discussions are in full swing, and topics are constantly ongoing...
Then, in early June, Tianya, a bunch of posts suddenly appeared, with similar contents: ‘Revealing the secret that Hu Zongming promoted TW actors and suppressed mainland filmmakers…’
Anonymous posting, citing many examples, proving that Hu Zongming suppressed mainland filmmakers...
Especially two of them, "Call Junqi Zhao and said you are an actress I admire for a long time, but was fooled to go to "Red Cliff" to be a supporting actress for Lin Zhilin, who had never acted in a drama";
'In order to promote people as soon as possible, a rapid method was created to use mainland first-line actors to match TW actors. In this way, mainland investors will think that this TW actor is better than the mainland first-line actors, which naturally increases the popularity, value and popularity of the TW actor...'
Chapter completed!
