Chapter 931: National Husband's First Screen Appearance? The Three Sisters of Huanzhu Gather Again?
Come August, early in the morning, the film and television industry becomes lively.
The reason is mainly because of "Detective Chinatown 2", which is currently in theaters, and "Legend of the Gods", which has been criticized and criticized by the entire Internet!
"At the end of the first three days of the weekend, the comedy movie "Detective Chinatown 2" produced by Feiyue Films successfully exceeded the 1 billion mark at the box office, with a revenue of 1.017 billion yuan, successfully surpassing "Escape" and leaping into the summer holiday season No. 1 on the box office list of Chinese-language movies! ”
"It is reported that the new box office of "Tang Detective 2" on the third day was 340 million yuan. The film has now exceeded 300 million yuan in box office for three consecutive days and has been well received online."
"According to the predictions of many experts and professors in the industry, the film has great hope of breaking the box office record of this year's Spring Festival "Mermaid", so stay tuned!"
In just three days, the box office exceeded the 1 billion mark, and there is still unlimited potential...
Looking at the achievements of "Tang Detective 2", media outlets of all sizes in the entertainment industry could not sit still, and they rushed to report on this comedy blockbuster that was released during this summer vacation.
As the number of moviegoers increases, whether on the Internet or in real life, people's discussions and praise for this movie continue to rise.
Just like "Mermaid" released during the Spring Festival this year, "Tang Detective 2" has unknowingly become a movie that has triggered discussions about its full name.
At this point, not only Chen Fei, but everyone inside and outside the circle is full of confidence in "Tang Detective 2"!
Everyone is looking forward to when this movie will break through 2 billion, or even 3 billion, or successfully break the box office record of "Mermaid"!
At this time, China Film Group was in the chairman's office.
After looking at the online reports on "Tang Detective 2" and comparing the screening data, screening rate, attendance rate and other data reports about the film in my hand, I couldn't hide my envy.
"This film is really a success! It's unimaginable that a comedy film with a low cost can actually have such high box office potential."
"I have to say that Feiyue Pictures has always been very professional when it comes to comedy movies, including the previous '囧Series', 'Crazy Series', 'Beautiful Heart', 'Charlotte', and now 'Tang' The "Exploration Series" are all the best among the best! ”
The person who answered the call was He Zhenzhong, the current vice president of China Film Group. He is mainly responsible for the distribution business and can be regarded as La Sheikang's confidant.
La Pikang nodded slightly and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
If a film and television company can have a good screenwriter paired with top-notch director skills, it will be simply invincible!
Thinking of this, he couldn't hide his curiosity: "Zhenzhong, do you think this "Tang Detective 2" has any hope of surpassing "Mermaid" and becoming the new box office champion in film history this year?"
He Zhenzhong thought for a moment and replied: "I personally feel that the chance is very high. After the summer vacation, there will be Chinese Valentine's Day, and with the key extension, and its strong reputation, it should not be a problem to break the 3 billion box office."
Hearing this, La Chikang suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, he murmured: "If this movie can break 3 billion, this will be Feiyue Pictures' third movie with a box office of over 3 billion, after "The Martian" and "Operation Mekong"! "
He never thought that "Tang Detective 2" would not be eligible for key extension.
It is absolutely impossible for the General Administration to reject a movie with such great box office and reputation.
He Zhenzhong suddenly added: "If nothing else happens, Feiyue Film and Television's "Kunlun Temple", which will be released during the National Day holiday, should also have the potential to exceed 3 billion in box office."
Upon hearing this, La Sheikang couldn't bear it anymore.
He directly asked: "Do you think "The Great Wall" has the possibility of hitting a box office of 3 billion?"
"Yes!" He Zhenzhong said very confidently: "In my opinion, "The Great Wall" is no less popular than all existing blockbusters in terms of popularity and production scale. Coupled with our distribution and promotion, it will definitely exceed the 3 billion box office. Not a problem.”
La Sheikang couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
After all, "The Great Wall" is controlled by him. The higher the box office, the greater his achievements will naturally be.
Thinking of this, he immediately made arrangements: "We can release some promotional videos one after another, and we should also warm up for "The Great Wall" in advance."
"Okay, La Dong, I understand."
He Zhenzhong responded, and after confirming that the boss had no other instructions, he turned and left his office.
However, as the office door closed, La Sheikang, who was inside, suddenly sighed:
"Oh, if I had... forget it, everything has happened, just keep going. Anyway, no matter who China Film loses, it will still be the leader of the state-owned enterprises! The position is unshakable!"

Different from "Tang Detective 2"'s positive reviews across the Internet, "Legend of the Gods" is much more unlucky.
The media is not even willing to spare more words for it when reporting on it.
"The magical 'masterpiece' "Legend of the Gods" produced by Bona with an investment of up to 500 million, was released for 3 days, and the total box office revenue was 128 million. On the third day, the new box office revenue was only 31.58 million."
Invested 500 million and boasted that it would break the box office record of Chinese-language movies, but it only received 128 million in box office in 3 days of release...
If nothing else, this movie is completely hopeless.
And most importantly, its reputation has also collapsed!
A full 30,000 people on Douban gave extremely low ratings and negative reviews, and as the release time went by, there seemed to be more and more scoldings online.
"I originally went to see the movie Li Kung Fu Superstar Connection, but I didn't expect his guest appearance to be so short. Isn't this just using his name to cheat the box office?"
"What is it called "Legend of the Gods"? Can't it just be called "Legend of Xiangzuo"?"
"I bet! There won't be a worse movie than this movie in at least the next 3 years, unless it's a sequel."
"Mysterious aesthetics, a plot that goes off track throughout, and a shockingly bad way of convincing... It's really hard for me to imagine that this is actually a movie with an investment of 500 million!"
"Take a vote. Among the male actors, the worst actor is undoubtedly Xiang Zuo, and among the female actors, it is undoubtedly Yang Ying. These two seem to be just having fun. I'm really convinced!"
"I only thought that "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and "The Promise" were bad enough, but I didn't expect that this "Legend of the Gods" actually condenses the essence of all bad movies. It's amazing!"
Along with negative reviews online and a completely collapsed reputation, the remarks made by the crew when it was first released were almost like jokes.
500 million large-scale production, starring international superstar Li Lianlian, domestic entertainment + Hong Kong and Taiwan's first-line luxury cast... These lofty words have now become the target of complaints from netizens, which only adds to the laughing stock!
…
At this time, the atmosphere in the chairman's office of Bona Group was simply frighteningly depressing!
Xiang Huaqiang and Yu Dongzheng were sitting opposite each other, both holding cigarettes in their mouths, their faces full of sorrow and helplessness.
Seeing the two grown men saying nothing, just puffing away at each other, Kyouta finally couldn't sit still.
She stood up suddenly, and the jewelry on her body clashed together, making a crackling sound: "Dr. Yu, can't we think of other ways to make this movie?"
Although according to external reports, "Legend of the Gods" is controlled and produced by Bona.
But the fact is that in order to promote their son, the Xiang family specially registered a company and also participated in the investment.
Therefore, now that the movie is losing so much money, the couple has to pour money into it!
"Alas!" Yu Dong smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Xiang Tai, as things have developed now, it is no longer a question of finding a solution. The key is that the movie's reputation is too poor, and the theaters have been unable to schedule movies, and the box office How can it be possible to get taller?"
Hearing this, Xiangta was slightly stunned, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
But at this time, Xiang Huaqiang expressed doubts: "I have read the comments on the Internet, but I always feel that most people are just joining in the fun, and there are not many real bad reviews.
And I have an inexplicable feeling that many negative reviews are based on what others say, as if someone is deliberately setting the pace to lead netizens to attack our movie. "
"Yes, yes!" Xiangta nodded quickly: "I think so too. Even though my Xiangzuo is so good at acting, there are a lot of people scolding him for his poor acting skills. This must be someone deliberately trying to discredit us!"
"Is that so?" Yu Dong was also a little confused by the two people's confident tone. He couldn't help but curious: "Have you done an investigation? Are you sure someone is organizing a navy to smear it?"
"You don't need to investigate this, you can see it at a glance!"
"Huh? Houta's eyes are so good?"
"Dr. Yu, you don't know. In the past, when the movies we invested in were released, we were often smeared by our peers. This situation is very common..."
Kyouta said with certainty, as if he had determined who was behind the scenes.
Yu Dong didn't react for a while: "What do you mean?"
"I think we can't sit still and wait for death, we must fight back. Our 500 million investment in a big-budget movie can't compare to a comedy? This is simply a fantasy!
This method of competition is really too dark. It is too arrogant to seek out the trolls to smear us and deliberately compress our film schedule. I just can’t bear it anymore..."
The more Kyouta talked, the more excited he became. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and rushed out of the door!
"Dr. Xiang, what is your wife doing?!" Yu Dong had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Let me go and take a look." Xiang Hua stood up and walked out, saying to Yu Dong behind him: "Yu Dong, sometimes we can't be too weak. People who are kind can be bullied."
Yu Dong: "???"
Looking at the office door that was slammed shut, Fatty Yu was confused: "No? What are these two couples going to do? Damn it? They won't make any big noise for me, right?"
…
Because he had an appointment with Huo Qigang to discuss matters at the company at 10:30 in the morning, Chen Fei did not sleep in with Liu Yifei today, but set out from home at nine o'clock.
First, he asked the driver to go directly to the company. Then he took out his mobile phone and briefly checked whether there was any new news in the entertainment industry.
Looking around, in addition to the news about "Tang Detective 2" and "Legend of the Gods", there is a lot of new news on the portal website.
"Due to the 'Korean Restriction Order', Korean stars may be blocked from coming to China, and many film and television companies have fallen into unprecedented panic...
It is reported that the high-profile Korean actor Song Joong-ki was replaced as a result, and the promised salary of 100 million was instantly evaporated. 42 artists similar to him and the 53 dramas they participated in were not spared, and they were all subject to affected to varying degrees. "
"Reprinted from The Hollywood Daily, the well-known Chinese director Feng Xiaogang has recently successfully signed a contract with the famous American agency CAA, successfully becoming another Chinese filmmaker to cooperate with CAA after Li Bian, Wang Jiawei, Chen Long and others!"
"The costume, suspense, and fantasy masterpiece "The Legend of the Demon Cat", co-produced by Xinli, Shengkai Pictures, Kadokawa Pictures Co., Ltd., and Yinghuang Film, directed by Chen Kaige, and produced by Chen Hong, has been completed at the Tangcheng Film and Television Base in Xiangyang The set will be set, and filming will begin once the actors arrive.”
"On the evening of August 12, the fantasy romance film "A Little Smile Is Allure", adapted from Gu Man's novel of the same name, will officially hit the screen and meet many fans.
The film brings together industry elites such as Zhang Yibai and Zhao Tianyu, as well as the powerful team-up of the handsome man and woman Yang Ying and Jing Boran... "National Husband" Wang Shicong will also make his screen debut, so stay tuned! "
"..."
In a place like the entertainment industry, which represents cultural output, there are always various policies that change rapidly.
As the "Korean Restriction Order" continues to ferment in the industry, many second- and third-tier domestic actors seem to have seen unprecedented opportunities.
After all, with limited resources, the withdrawal of Korean stars will undoubtedly free up more room for development for them.
However, for those film and television companies that have invested heavily in filming and starring Korean stars, this sudden change is undoubtedly a disaster.
For example, Mango not only has to face huge economic losses, but also has to readjust various shooting and recording plans. It is undoubtedly very busy and wailing.
As for Feng Xiaogang's signing of a contract with CAA, if nothing else, he probably did it to increase Huayi's market value and influence.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Although many netizens on the Internet have speculated, will Feng Xiaogang take this opportunity to enter Hollywood and shoot his own blockbuster? And continue to carry forward the unique charm of "Feng's Comedy" on the international stage...
But in the eyes of many practitioners in the industry, his behavior was just to put money on his face.
Perhaps in the Chinese film industry, Feng Xiaogang still occupies a considerable voice, but when he goes abroad, how can Hollywood's capital possibly ignore him?
Also "Feng's Comedy", who abroad pays attention to your stuff?
You can conclude without even verifying it that after leaving the country, this thing will 100% become acclimatized!
In comparison, the promotional press release for the movie version of "A Little Smile Is Allure" is more interesting.
"National Husband" Wang Shicong actually participated in this movie. This news has never been revealed to the public before by the crew!
Now that it suddenly broke out, it has undoubtedly attracted the attention of many netizens.
The hot searches on major portal websites are very complicated and messy, and it is even obvious that some press releases are paid to be posted there.
But on Weibo, the topic "The Three Sisters of Huanzhu Reunite" is firmly at the top of the hot search list, attracting the attention of many netizens.
In fact, at the beginning, everyone just thought that Fan Bingbing might go to Ziwei Gege's wedding, but Zhao Yanzi probably would not go.
After all, she was scolded by the whole internet just last month, so it would be better not to show her face at this time.
But no one expected that she would actually go!
In order to restore her reputation and image as much as possible, she even went so far as to hype "The Princess of My Fair Princess" and "The three sisters of My Fair Princess have a deep love for each other" at the wedding scene.
I have to say that this wave of operations was really successful by her.
Looking around, there are actually a lot of people on the Internet calling for the three of them to recreate the original "Huan Zhu Princess" and make a sequel.
These people don’t know what’s going on in their heads, and they don’t have any brains in their explanations.
They didn't even think about it. With Fan Bingbing's status today, how could he willingly continue to work as a maid for those two princesses?
Therefore, this kind of remarks was directly criticized and targeted by a large number of Fan Bingbing fans, so much so that it was a lively event on the Internet.
But at this moment, Chen Fei noticed a piece of news that was squeezed into a corner.
It was a video of the media interviewing Zhao Yanzi at the wedding.
When asked by reporters, Zhao Yanzi actually revealed: ""No Other Love" has completely drawn a clear line with Dai and the Japanese actress.
Now we just need to wait for the approval of the General Administration, and we will change the role and reshoot as soon as possible. Please rest assured, fans, this movie will be available to you soon..."
The comment area under the video is currently occupied by Zhao Yanzi's fans. Everywhere you look, there are all kinds of support.
A rare insult or sarcastic comment would be suppressed.
"Haha? You still want to change the role and reshoot? What a wishful thinking."
Chen Fei curled his lips, his heart full of sarcasm.
Tong Gang had told him before that after that incident, not to mention the two actors, even Zhao Yanzi himself would not be able to continue filming any works.
Any script she sends will never pass the review.
As for this film "No Other Love", it has been completely banished to the cold palace, and it will never come out again.
Still want to wait for the review to pass and then change the role to reshoot? It's just a foolish dream!
"Boss, we are at the company."
The reminder from the driver in the front row interrupted Chen Fei's thinking.
After coming to his senses, he turned off the screen of his mobile phone and got out of the car with his briefcase.
Huo Qigang just sent him a message saying that he had arrived at the company in advance and was talking with Su Guohai about the preparations for "Wushuang".
Now we just have to wait for him to arrive, and the three of them will have another meeting to officially determine the next direction of the project.
