Chapter 874 Connotation?

What else? Last weekend, a total box office of 320 million was generated. "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" directly occupied 65% of the market, leaving 112 million.

"Famous Man" and "Painted Skin 2" together grossed close to 35 million, and there was also a comedy "Getting My Father-in-Law" starring Xu Zheng. The box office was not high, with 8 million...

Although it is not high, it actually took away 8 million. In addition, "The Story of Old Leith", "Pen Fairy", "McDull Belongs with My Heart", "The Bizarre Incident of the Twelve Constellations" and other old movies were added together Almost 6 million…

The remaining 63 million will be divided between "The Listener" and "The Lost Bullet"...

The theater chain is still very willing to support "The Wind Listener". After all, the starring cast is Liang Chaowei + Zhou Xun, and the directors Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang are well-known, not to mention the blessing of "The Wind"...

But "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" is too strong. Although the film schedule is 40%, its box office is nearly five times that of "The Wind Listener"!

——The first weekend box office of "The Wind Listener" was 40.8 million...

"The Lost Bullet" was miserable. In terms of actors, casts, directors, and even the distribution company behind the scenes, they were completely unequal!

""Lost Bullets" exceeded 20 million in its first weekend... and the total box office is estimated to be up to 50 million!"

"Xie Tingfeng can't handle the box office!"

This is a consensus!

Although Wang Xie won a Grand Slam of Academy Awards, it must be said that his acting skills are average and his acting career is not wide.

The box office performance was very poor. As the first starring actor, the highest box office record was 220 million yuan for "One Life to Live", which seems unsustainable in today's market where the box office frequently exceeds 1 billion and 800 million yuan.

Especially "Battle of the God of Cookery" was released after the Spring Festival, and Ge You and Zhan Ruiwen were invited to help with the scene. In the end, the box office exceeded 100 million...

Even in "Streets of Rage", the role he played was the opposite!

"...There are a few Hong Kong stars who can compete with the box office..." Shen Xudong waved his hand: "In today's market, the top hits are more than 500 million yuan. Those people in Hong Kong, from directors to actors, only have a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan at most. They are no match at all." !”

"No, Jiahe..."

"Golden Harvest has never claimed to be a Hong Kong movie. Our promotion has always been about Chinese-language movies!"

…

This summer's summer season is different from previous years. There are two or three domestic movies released every week, and there are many powerful distributors behind them.

No way, in the first six months, Hollywood blockbusters were too strong. If it weren't for "When a Man Loves", "Search", and "Why Shengxiaomo", their performance was okay - at least the market performance was good, it could be described as annihilated. !

Even Shen Xudong has to avoid its edge, let alone other domestic films.

So... what to do with so many movies produced?

You must know that 2010 was a new climax for film registration. Two years have passed. Although most projects ended in abortion, many projects were completed...

The coal boss feeds more than half of the circle!

Then three movies, "Thugs in Suits", "Painted Skin 2", and "The Nine-Story Demon Tower" were released one after another and hit huge box office records one after another!

"Thugs in Suits" was slightly worse, but it still had a box office of 360 million. The most important thing: overseas rights sold very well!

The size of the film market is a given. If your piece of cake is bigger, mine will be smaller...

"Nine-Storey Demon Tower" has been in theaters for ten days, and its cumulative box office exceeded 500 million - the second week's box office surpassed the first week's box office!

"The Wind Listener", "Lost Bullets" and the newly released "Weapon" are unlucky: after entering the working day, the single-day box office of "Nine-Storey Demon Tower" remained at around 35 million, and it even won the next weekend. 150 million, accounting for more than 75% of the market!

Then, many people started to feel unhappy...

He secretly said something like 'breaking the rules' and 'just let your family show it! 'some type of…

Among them is Yu Dong.

Bona has two movies this summer, "Beautiful Weapon" and "Hedong Lion Roar 2"...

"Beautiful Weapon" was directed by Mak Zi-shan. Mak Zi-shan is one of the three famous editors in Hong Kong and the queen editor of Tsui Hark's martial arts films. Later, Mak Zi-shan mixed with Wang Jing and participated in "Peeping Innocence ("), "Red Fruit Agent", Films such as "Office".

"Stunning Weapon" is called "Naked Soldier" in the Mainland, and "Naked Soldier" in Hong Kong. The English name is "Naked Soldier"...

It sounds like a third grade!

Wang Jing promotes various things on Weibo: "Agent Red Fruit" is a hit, NMLGB is a hit!

Really, even if "Stunning Weapon" was released in the last century, if you cast Qiu Shuzhen to star, it would definitely be a bad movie, with a rubbish plot and outdated and disgusting laughs...

By the way, the starring role is Xie Tingting.

So ugly... I feel like Xie Bi Wang’s female costume is more than ten times more beautiful than his sister!

This crappy movie was released in Hong Kong just three days ago and was scolded until it was canceled. It was released in the Mainland just in time for the second week of "The Nine-Story Demon Tower"...

Then the box office of "Stunning Weapon" did not reach 1.5 million in three days...

Yes, that’s 1.5 million!

The reason is very simple. None of the main creators of this film came to the mainland to promote it. Only Wang Jing shouted a few words on Weibo...

Many people don't even know that such a movie exists.

Yu Dong's BonaCo, the producer and mainland distributor, signed a three-year cooperation agreement with Wang Jing. During this period, Wang Jing launched the "Big Shanghai" and "Macau Storm" series.

In "Macau Storm 3", the two parties broke up...

Coming back, Yu Dong actually didn't want to provoke Shen Xudong - the last person who provoked him was Zhang Weiping, and now his reputation has been ruined!

But... Bona was suppressed too hard.

Bona started off by relying on Hong Kong directors, and it still relies on Hong Kong directors. The most important thing is that Huang Jianxin was poached by Shen Xudong!

Huang Jianxin is not only a leader of the fifth generation of directors, but also a pioneer of Chinese film co-productions. He is familiar with the production processes of Hollywood and Hong Kong films.

Huang Jianxin was behind several of Bona's heavyweight films.

Especially "Changjin Lake" is purely Huang Jianxin's plate!

He now serves as the director of the content production department of Tianmei Entertainment. In addition, his own company, Shanghai Sanyuan Film Co., Ltd., Tianmei directly invested 400 million, accounting for 60% of the shares, and does not participate in daily operations...

Of course, Huang Jianxin reciprocated the favor. He was the nominal producer of several "Ghost Blowing Lamp" films, and he also brought in Fu Ruoqing to co-produce...

This is called political endorsement!

In addition to Huang Jianxin, Tsui Hark, Chen Kexin and Lin Chaoxian are all under Golden Harvest - Tsui Hark's film studio was directly acquired 51% of the shares by Golden Harvest!

The only people Yu Dong can rely on are Liu Weiqiang, Wang Jing and Er Dongsheng...

It seems that Liu Weiqiang will not be able to make movies after he went north. To be more precise, after leaving Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang, he turned in three movies: "The Dragon and the Phoenix", "Fist of Fury", and "No Longer Lonely". A bad movie…

As for Wang Jing - he is currently working on "Big Shanghai" - the last movie in which Wang Jing lost all his money was "Future Police" with Andy Lau.

After reviewing it, Wang Jing felt that he lost to the team behind the scenes.

So when it came to "Big Shanghai", he was ready to complete his work in one battle and found all his golden partners in Hong Kong.

Wen Jun + Liu Weiqiang.

The former made Jiang Wen's debut novel "Sunny Days" and was called the squad leader by Jiang Wen. He is also one of the few people in Hong Kong who can speak well among the big guys in Beijing.

Liu Weiqiang has been mentioned above - in fact, as early as 1995, Wang Jing, Liu Weiqiang and Wen Jun jointly established the "Best Partner" company.

The first movie the group formed was "Young and Dangerous". Wen Jun worked on the script overnight, Wang Jing roped in Ekin Cheng, and Liu Weiqiang took the shot.

The three of them work together and are invincible.

With an investment of several million Hong Kong dollars and a 15-day shooting cycle, the local box office exceeded 20 million.

"Young and Dangerous" was a huge success, and the series subsequently branched out.

In its heyday, Best Partner was producing more than a dozen movies a year.

It has created a box office myth in Hong Kong film history!

"Big Shanghai" is written by Wen Jun, produced by Liu Weiqiang, directed by Wang Jing, and starring Zhou Runfa. This lineup is sure to win!

Ahem...

In fact, Shen Xudong didn't like seeing Yu Dong - after Ya went public, he also went into real estate!

——Won the luxury house project at No. 3 Workers Stadium West Road, BJDC District.

A film company doesn't focus on content, but instead invests in real estate?

In addition, which of the new generation of directors in the Mainland has anything to do with Bona?

Ning Hao owns Bad Monkey Company and supports Wen Muye and his Olympic bid;

Chen Sicheng is also a master in this field. The "Manslaughter" series and "The Disappearance of Her" are all new directors with Hollywood creative backgrounds. They are more bold in the creation of genre films and are close to the tastes of young people. At the same time, Chen Sicheng personally controls it on the set. …

In addition, Guo Fan, Lu Yang, and Rao Xiaozhi formed a small team...

In addition, Yu Dong has an unusual relationship with Ximihua. Ximeihua has cooperated with Bona for a long time. Yu Dong has personally admitted to buying box office. Bona’s ghost scene has been picked up many times...

But... Bona and Tianmei Media are not at the same level at all - Bona is listed on Nasdaq, with a market value of about US$900 million.

Where is Tianmei?

Jiahe alone has a market value of HK$36 billion!

Therefore, Yu Donghan Tianmei Media, Shen Xudong directly posted on Weibo, "Don't look for the reasons within yourself, but only find faults in others. With a boss like this, no wonder Bona can't develop!" I'm looking forward to next month's "Hedong Lion Roar 2". By the way, "Anti-Drug", "Wolong" and "Cold War" should be withdrawn? ’

I went to pay a traffic violation fine in the afternoon and the queue was a bit long...

Also, there is no fine for the first violation.
