Chapter 1079 The Sinking of "The Taiping Wheel" (Part 2) (14)

December 2nd is actually a Tuesday

working days.

Generally speaking, the box office on weekdays is definitely a little lower than on weekends...

25 million on the first day is not unacceptable according to common sense.

"Interstellar" only made 32 million at the box office on its first day...

The problem is that word of mouth is sparse - "Taiping Wheel" was sniped by Tianmei's publicity team...

It will be released on the same schedule, and it will definitely be smeared in a rhythmic manner. According to the words of "The Three-Body Problem", 'The greatest respect for a civilization is to kill it all! ’, it also applies to competitors...

However, "Taiping Wheel" collapsed faster than expected...

It's true. After "The Wheel" was released, it received overwhelming negative reviews...

There was even a trending search term on Weibo, ‘ugly! ’

This hot search was not even bought by Tianmei...

‘The Taiping Wheel is just a gimmick, and I want to write about all living beings in troubled times. It's a pity that several lines are not handled well and there are few highlights. Especially the very long battle at the end was boring and nothing new - how many anti-war dramas have our audience watched since they were young? The characters all lack core goals and have no centripetal force...'

'My evaluation is 'not as good as "Red Cliff"'...'

‘What the hell is this film about? The story is told here and there, with almost no connection between the multiple storylines. The fragmented upper part even makes some stories have no beginning or end.

The editing is a mess and the dissolves and transitions are stiff. Not to mention the overflowing and sudden drama-like sensationalism. Every time Song Hye Kyo was shown in soft natural light slow motion, I thought I was watching a new commercial for BBK Music Phone. ’

‘Did Wu Yusen have an illness that damaged his brain? What was he filming? ’

As for "The Marquis of Huaiyin"...

The box office on the first day was not very high, at 28 million, which was just higher than "The Wheel". Of course, the reputation was even worse - 7.6 points, which is not high, but compared to the 6 points of "The Wheel", it was already It’s a dimensionality reduction attack…

Sure enough, in the next few days, the box office of "The Marquis of Huaiyin" steadily increased. On the weekend, it exceeded 60 million for three consecutive days. In the first six days, it took in 324 million at the box office. "The Peace Wheel" (Part 1) only had less than 80 million...

Oh, the film schedule of "Taiping Wheel" has also been cut to 8%...

Theater chains are very practical. If your movie doesn’t get box office, it will definitely not be scheduled for you!

"Taiping Wheel" completely sank!

…

Zhang Jiazhen is considered to be a mid-to-late stage boss in Hong Kong. Relying on Wu Yusen, he traveled to China and the United States. He has a good relationship with Yang Ziqiong and also has a good relationship with Li Zekai of Yingke...

In recent years, he had caught up with the funds from Macau, and originally wanted to do something big...

At least we must stand tall in Hong Kong again!

But standing in front of us is Tianmei Media...

It's very troublesome. The Tianmei family is almost the dominant force in the mainland film and television industry, especially the film industry!

A few years ago, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to suppress Shen Xudong and force him to come to the United States. Unfortunately, Shen Xudong was an unbeatable little power. In those two years, he not only prospered in the United States, but also made his company public...

Then aim at Jiahe!

In those years, Zhang Jiazhen teamed up with many directors and companies in Hong Kong to try to compete with Jiahe...

The effect was very significant. Du Wenze and Peng Haoxiang, who were banned by name by Shen Xudong, were unblocked and joined Sun City to film several movies.

They have no shortage of funds, actors, and publicity channels!

The capital in Hong Kong and Taiwan is still very strong. Otherwise, why would a young man like Darren Wang, who only needs looks but not looks, and acting skills but not acting skills, co-star in movies with first-line artists such as Jackie Chan, Ni Ni, and Huo Jianhua?

Including Tianting Banquet, Chen Linong...

Even today, mainland capital and market have taken an absolute advantage in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the trend is irreversible. However, in terms of film and television resources and media marketing, mainland actors and entertainers still suffer from unequal treatment to a considerable extent.

When it comes to "Banquet in Heaven", I boast that my acting skills and professionalism are better than those of popular celebrities from the Mainland.

Just ask a truly dedicated and good actor, would he be embarrassed to compete with those born in the 90s all day long on his acting skills?

When it comes to Xu Guanghan, he has "a youthful feel", "superb acting skills", and "a promising future"...

He is almost 35, does he have a future that is nothing short of frivolous?

Ahem...

Of course, Zhang Jiazhen did not succeed. On the one hand, Golden Harvest has the mainland market and Southeast Asian theater chains. Although Golden Harvest Cinema Line lost 96 theaters in Taiwan during that confrontation, Golden Harvest's production capabilities were not damaged. What's more, Golden Harvest supports More than half of Hong Kong film practitioners...

These people obviously support Jiahe!

In addition, he had a problem with his vision. In those years, he made several movies, all for the Korean market, such as "The Man Without a Man" (the Korean version of "A Better Tomorrow"), "The New Hero"...

The reason is very simple. At that time, the total box office in the mainland market was less than 6 billion yuan, only half of the Korean market...

He never expected that the mainland market would develop so fast. When he came to his senses, there was no room for Wu Yusen to start in the mainland market!

Fortunately, Wu Yusen signed a cooperation contract with Galloping Horse and worked on "Taiping Wheel"...

Wu Yusen fell ill midway, and the producer was changed from Taiwanese capital to some mainland companies, and the actors were also replaced by mainland actors and actresses, including Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, Qin Hailu, Wang Qianyuan, Yu Feihong...

It’s useless!

Zhang Jiazhen was desperate.

In the previous "Zhao Zilong 2" head-to-head competition with "Red Cliff", the former only won a small victory, and he could still use some forces to suppress it. What now?

"The Marquis of Huaiyin" is a seven-part series produced by Shanghai Film and Television and Tianmei. Do you want to suppress it?

I can only comfort Wu Yusen...

Fortunately, most of the cost was recovered - BJ Culture had a guarantee of one billion, and all the money was given!

…

"Wu Yusen cannot keep up with the times. We all age and will become outdated sooner or later. Not everyone can produce a great work like "Kagemusha" in his twilight years like Akira Kurosawa."

“I still think it’s related to the subject matter…”

"Of course the subject matter has something to do with it, but the most important thing is that he is not capable enough..."

Shen Xudong was chatting with Xu Ke. He came to Xiangshan. Xu Ke was filming "The Legend of Shushan: Origin"...

The story of "Origin" is that Bai Mei, the leader of Shu Mountain, received a message from the master from the upper world: 300 years later, the spiritual world will cut off the heavenly secret instrument, and the spiritual energy will no longer be transmitted to the lower world, allowing Bai Mei to concentrate resources to ensure the collective ascension of Shu Mountain...

Then Shushan decided to close the mountain gate and devote himself to practice.

But Baimei's junior brother Ding Yin felt that the upper world had abandoned them, so he returned to Shushan and led a group of heretics to kill the upper world...

Oh, Ding Yin is Baimei’s younger brother and the villain throughout the trilogy. He must be charming...

Shen Xudong recommended Wang Jinsong, and Xu Ke was very satisfied!

As for the original three heroes, two clouds, and four disciples, there were too many people, so most of them were deleted, leaving only three disciples: Li Yingqiong, Yu Yingnan, Qi Lingyun, Deng Bagu, Qin Ziling, and Xiao Monk...

According to common sense, there must be a male protagonist...

The problem is that the original work of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" does not have a male protagonist...

Shen Xudong suggested that he simply make Li Yingqiong, Yu Yingnan, and Qi Lingyun the CP.

Well, a movie by three people, and all of them are women!

Old Monster Xu burst out with strong creative passion!

However, he still cares about Wu Yusen...
