In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 745 Crushing Game

"Looking at the World" is published twice a month, and this issue will not be officially launched until the 15th.

Therefore, it is of no use in terms of promoting the movie - Dunima has been released for almost 20 days!

Isn't this what "Wan Tianxia" sent out various invitations, and Gao Fenfen persuaded him to accept it.

In addition, there are also "People", "Southern Weekend", and "Sanlian Life Weekly" waiting in line...

There’s even Time…

Shen Xudong was looking through the box office performance of "Painted Skin" over the past two days. Hearing the name "Times", he couldn't help but ask: ""Times"? That magazine in the United States?"

"right…"

"Times gave Han Han the name 'Citizen Han Han'?"

"…right…"

"No answer..."

After Shen Xudong asked clearly, he refused directly...

The so-called ‘citizen Han Han’ is clearly a ‘publicly known Han Han’!

Chen Xi frowned: "The authority of Time magazine is not only driven by the characters on the cover, because Time magazine has a long history and has witnessed the changes in the world for nearly a hundred years. Moreover, it is written in English, so it can Spread to the whole world…”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "But it is an American magazine...it represents the American world view..."

"I found that you are a bit paranoid about being persecuted..."

Chen Xi was about to say something big when Shen Xudong suddenly changed his mind: "...Okay, let them wait for half a month before coming back!"

"...half a month? What are you going to do?"

"The promotional film is still in the later stage of "33 Days of Love"..." Shen Xudong changed the topic: "Have you watched the box office of "Painted Skin" in the first three days?"

"...60.8 million, yesterday's box office was as high as 24 million..."

"Well," Shen Xudong still smiled: "Yesterday's market total was 29 million, and "Painted Skin" accounted for more than 80%!"

Chen Xi nodded: ""Witness" and "Li Mi's Conjecture" have good reputations, but unfortunately, the attendance rate is too low..."

“What about ‘Intimacy’?”

"'Intimate' doesn't have many films lined up at all... Ekin Cheng has made great strides in recent years, but all the movies he stars in don't do well at the box office!"

"Intimacy", Ekin Cheng partnered with Carrie Lam, produced by Anle Film and Television, distributed by Raytheon, original time and space, the box office did not reach 8 million...

But director Anishi was very stubborn. The following year, he made "Moonlight Hennessy" and continued to find Ekin Cheng to star. It still failed miserably at the box office...

There is a saying that Ekin Cheng suddenly stopped being popular. Many people said that he didn’t want to be popular...

Isn’t this nonsense!

What actor doesn't want to be famous?

The real reason is that because the Hong Kong film industry failed to upgrade and Ekin Cheng failed to transform, he suddenly fell.

He became famous because of "Young and Dangerous", and then entered the threshold of superstar with Hong Kong costume blockbusters. However, he was deeply tied to Hong Kong special effects blockbusters. "The Storm" was successful, and then he had "Heroes of China" and "The Battle of the Forbidden City". ", and later "The Legend of Shushan"...

It’s a pity that after 2000, Hong Kong no longer produces special effects blockbusters!

In fact, in the local market during this period, Ekin Cheng also had police films "Two Heroes" and "Three Crossroads", romance films "My Wife is Under 18", "Anna and the Martial Arts", horror films "The First Commandment" and "The Forest". "Injustice" Wait...

Is this resource bad? It’s really not bad anymore.

The real resource downgrade is actually the disastrous box office failure of "The Storm 2". "The Storm 2" is really a costume fantasy blockbuster with top investment, top industry, and top lineup. As a result, the box office collapsed again, and this time Ekin Cheng was given away. It was completely thrown off the street, and then there was a bad sentimental movie...

By the way, the "Wind and Cloud" series is now the copyright of Jiahe...

Should I do "Wind and Cloud 2"? How to do it?

Bringing it back, Chen Xi continued: "...I heard from theaters that the prime filming schedule of "Painted Skin" is close to 90%..."

"The schedule for "The Witness" is not high?"

"There's not much publicity at all, what do you think?"

"Too…"

"The Witness" is a movie made by Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Tse Ting Fung. It has a good reputation. Nick Cheung Ka Fai won 7 Best Actors, successfully transformed, and joined the Hong Kong star Lianliankan lineup...

——Later on, the male leads in Hong Kong films or co-productions were always those veteran movie stars (Liu Ching-wan, Nick Cheung, Simon Yam, Ng Chun-yu, Lam Jiadong, Louis Koo)... They were arranged in twos and threes, so familiar to the most loyal Hong Kong films The audience is also bored, so they call it Lianliankan...

Why isn't "The Witness" promoted?

Because...the Emperor has no money!

It has little to do with the Great Photography Exhibition. It is mainly due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis. Hong Kong itself has a developed financial industry...

Therefore, Emperor News, "The Witness still has a very good box office despite the adverse market situation, which has given the film company a boost. It is not afraid of the financial tsunami and has decided to spend 100 million yuan to film the film next year..."

Gee, 100 million yuan to make a movie, you have the nerve to describe it as a "lavish investment"?

Each of Jiahe's "Liao Zhai" series and "Three Kingdoms" series starts with a cost of 50 million.

Chen Xi took the box office report: ""Li Mi's Conjecture" has a good reputation, but... this drama is not very entertaining. It relies solely on Zhou Xun, so it does not pose a threat to "Painted Skin"."

"Did Brother Huayi say anything?"

"...What can they say? Zhou Xun's contract expires at the beginning of 2010...I guess he will leave Huayi then..." At this point, Chen Xi suddenly suggested: "What do you think, what if I sign her?"

"Not very good..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "She is 34 this year. I heard that she stays up late, smokes, drinks, and has bad habits. She will not be able to last for a few years..."

"That's right. After actors turn 40, it's almost time to give up... I'd better find some younger ones!"

"Zhang Hanyun and Zhao Liying are both very young!"

"Young ass, let me tell you, everyone is looking for people born in the 90s now. Some time ago, I saw two XJ girls, both with long legs and good looks!"

"Then sign it...I'm leaving..."

Shen Xudong didn't even bother to ask which two XJ girls...

He's only in reserve, and he's definitely underage, so there's no need to pay attention now!

In fact, it can be seen that everyone has a judgment on the market and an understanding of the schedule.

Otherwise, there would not be four movies released on National Day.

"Painted Skin", "Intimacy", "Witness", "Li Mi's Conjecture"...

In terms of word-of-mouth alone, "The Witness" and "Li Mi's Conjecture" are in the first tier, while "Painted Skin" only has a reputation of about 7 points. After all, the special effects are really poor - you can't make things too realistic. If it is too realistic, it will be deleted;

And the scene where Wang Sheng was dreaming was edited...

It was Wang Sheng’s dream that he and Xiao Wei were having a rough time...

Worried about being too cyan and not being able to pass the test.

This results in a slightly poorer sense of rhythm…

Movies definitely have their shortcomings. "Painted Skin" at least has a coherent plot, good fighting, and most importantly, the actors are really good!

Zhou Xun, Chen Hao, and Deng Chao all contributed top-notch performances...

Therefore, although there are four movies, they are basically the crushing round of "Painted Skin".

After the National Day officially started, "Painted Skin" beat the other three movies, including the well-received "Let's Go" released after the National Day...

As of October 2, "Painted Skin" had been released for five days, with a box office of over 100 million. By October 8, after nine days of release, "Painted Skin" had a cumulative box office of 170 million...

Then, a Hollywood blockbuster, "Wanted" was released!
