Chapter 307 0306: New Project - Animated Film
"What? The second movie of the Speed Universe has been filmed?"
"Why was there no news before?"
"Looking at the name of the movie, it seems to have nothing to do with "Initial D."
"It has something to do with it, Xu Chenyi is promoting it with the crew, and he will still play Fujiwara Takumi."
"Yes, Bu Luo will be a guest star, and the protagonists are American star Hermes and Japanese star Sakai Hiromitsu."
"It seems that they are looking for the international market."
...
The publicity has attracted discussion. Bu Luo's "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" is unusually low-key from filming to completion, but compared to other Django movies, the momentum was built up as early as the project was established.
Such a situation has gradually shifted the topic of discussion to the box office of the movie.
Every TV series of Django has created miracles in ratings and word of mouth, which can be said to be steady and progressive.
But for movies, although the box office has increased, the word of mouth has declined. For example, if a movie with foreign actors as the protagonist is made today, it is hard to say whether foreign audiences will buy it.
"Is this the first time that Django's movie is released at a time when competition is not fierce?"
"After watching the movies released during the New Year's Day period in the East, almost all of them are low-cost and small-scale."
"The slogan is "speed sprint, instant limit, unlimited passion", so it is definitely a commercial film."
"In fact, it doesn't matter what type of movie it is. If it has the word "Django", the box office is guaranteed to be 1 billion."
"The prediction of 1 billion is too conservative. He looked at several big Vs on Weibo who are very accurate in predicting the box office, and their predictions are all at least 2 billion."
"The box office of several movies that Django has personally written scripts for has exceeded 1.5 billion, so he thinks it will at least not be lower than that number. ”
…
The professional and non-professional box office predictions lasted for a short time and then subsided. After multiple analyses, a conclusion was drawn that the key market for Jiang Ge’s “Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift” is overseas. The overseas box office is not so explosive. In the New Year’s Day period without strong competition, it is basically no problem to exceed 1 billion. Whether it can be higher depends on word of mouth.
Jiang Ge thinks that if it is true at the beginning, it is already very good. The cost is 100 million, and the box office exceeds 300 million to recover the cost, and it is a small profit if it exceeds 500 million, and it is a big profit if it exceeds 1 billion.
As for the word of mouth, please don’t be too high, just get 6.5 points or more. After all, no matter how refined the script is, it can’t change the fact that it is a commercial film.
Bus.
It is the National Day, and the protagonist is not Jiang Ge’s “Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift”, but a group of movies showing in the National Day period.
At this time, Hollywood magical epic special effects blockbuster "Dragon Hunter" is killing it.
The pre-sale before the release alone was 470 million yuan, and it won the first place in the East with a box office of 850 million yuan in the first month. The screening rate was as high as 55%, and the attendance rate was maintained at more than 40%.
That is a terrifying data, which has become the third best result in the first box office of all movies released abroad!
The key is that the reputation is not bad at all. Douban's opening score is 8.7, and 8.5 after the first month.
According to the prediction given by Maoyan data, the box office will fall at 5.6 billion. If that number is true, it will also become the third best result in the box office of all movies released abroad.
In the face of such a terrifying blockbuster, other movies are left with a sense of powerlessness and despair.
Especially for several domestic films, the attendance rate has been suppressed to the point of complaining, let alone competing, I am afraid that they can't even make back the cost.
Although everyone hopes to see the rise of domestic films, But the movie "Dragon Hunter" once again reminds them of the gap between them and Hollywood.
Speaking of the gap, we have to mention "Yanjing Fortress" directed by Lu Yang, which is also being screened during the National Day holiday and is positioned as a science fiction special effects blockbuster.
However, the quality of the film is hard to describe.
Watching this movie, you may feel very good when watching the special effects, but if you watch the plot, you will feel a strong gap and abruptness.
From the beginning of the battle scene, explosion elements, mushroom clouds, light particle cannons, aircraft carriers, etc., they are all full of the crew's good intentions and delicacy in making movie special effects, but when it comes to other scenes, they become ordinary in an instant.
The overall plot is incoherent, the expression is not clear, and it feels like a broken chapter, which leads to the reason for the interruption at one end. The love story between the male and female protagonists, the male and female protagonists is a bit long, with about five major plots, They are all telling their love stories.
It’s not hard to say, in recent years, almost every domestic science fiction film is a bad one.
It’s because “Dragon Hunter” is too fierce and has taken away most of the attention, so Lu Yang’s “Yanjing Fortress” doesn’t have much topic, and it can just be complained about a few times.
But no.
The domestic films that will be screened during the National Day next year are not all annihilated. Among them, “Mountain City Love” by new director Liu Rundong has achieved a box office decline for three consecutive days.
At the beginning, I was hit by “Dragon Hunter” and thought that I couldn’t even make back the cost of 25 million.
However.
Life will always give me a heavy blow inadvertently, or surprise, or accident.
The reputation of “Mountain City Love” quickly fermented, and netizens said that “you can make a good movie by shooting love scenes seriously”, and then the box office is higher day by day, and it has now exceeded 300 million.
That review and the box office really gave "Yanjing Fortress" a slap in the face.
Lu Yang was furious on the spot.
They even asked the trolls to wash away their reputation and pointed the finger at the audience, saying that they had double standards.
Good guy, can that pot be thrown away like that?
"The ground is washed like that!"
"Typical 'can't shit'!"
"You're here, my metaphor is 'the enemy is injured eight hundred, and you are injured a thousand'!"
"With the title of 'Domestic Science Fiction Masterpiece' and the appearance of 'A Dog-Blooded Love Story', who can you blame me if you don't?"
"Just because of directors like that, the Chinese film and television industry has been ruined."
"It is now likely to have a score of 2.5, and everyone here is responsible!"
…
Originally, there were only a few complaints, but that’s it, a wave of reverse operations took place, and it became a hot search.
Then there is no difference between "selling dog meat by selling sheep's head" and "selling mutton by selling sheep's head". When making science fiction movies, special effects should be done well, and ruthless scenes should be used as supplements. Otherwise, make ruthless movies. Make as many love movies as you want. How many ruthless scenes are there?
At this time, Jiang Ge had a good time enjoying the addiction of spectators.
because.
All the troubles that will arise during the National Day holiday next year have nothing to do with him.
"The special effects of "The Demon Hunter" are so realistic, and the dragon is so lifelike." Coming out of the cinema, Zhou Lingwei couldn't help but sigh: "Sigh... I wonder when a domestic movie like that will be released."
After saying that, he unconsciously looked at Jiang Ge beside him.
See you soon.
Jiang Ge smiled lightly and said: "The level of special effects is indeed among the best in the world. Huafeng Vision is also constantly working hard to improve. Soon there will be a trial work in cooperation with Huafeng Animation."
Hearing this, Zhou Lingwei was surprised and said: "Does the second season of "That Rabbit That Year" require the participation of Huafeng Vision? There are not many special effects. Doesn't it mean that it is a real person?"
Jiang Ge said repeatedly: “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.”
Some animations are not suitable for live-action. They are not only annoying to the eyes, but also embarrassing.
Zhou Lingwei seemed to understand something and asked tentatively: "Is that a new anime?"
"Yes." Jiang Ge nodded and replied: "No, it's an animated movie called "Kung Fu Panda"."
