Chapter 436 "The Last War"

However, once the market is driven by one or several blockbuster films, the siphon effect will be very obvious.

The first movie will be reaped wildly, but now the number of screens in theaters across the country is only 1 yuan, and there is no room for other movies to split the box office.

The first day of "Killing Life" was better than "Pimp", but it was only a million, only 74.

And on Saturday, "Alliance of Thieves" ushered in the first round of viewing climax, with an additional 1.07 million box office.

Brother Hu and Ren Dahua knew how to choose, so they resolutely gave up the offline promotion of "Killing", and only shouted online.

This film certainly cannot be said to be ugly, and "Killing" is a rare Agatha Christie-style crime (reasoning) film in China.

There is also the guarantee of Huang Bo and Hu Ge, there should be no problem changing the schedule to exceed [-] million.

The problem lies in the schedule. Guan Hu already knew that "Killing" and "Alliance of Thieves" were in the same period, but he felt that May [-]st should be able to accommodate the two films, so he didn't want to change the schedule.

The introduction of "Titanic 3D" was announced in January, but no one took a re-screening film seriously at that time, so the crew of "Killing" still didn't think about changing the schedule.

But when "Titanic 3D" swept the market, "Killing" panicked a bit.

But from a distance, it can be judged that "Titanic" has been released for two weeks, and the potential is not enough. There is no reason why Fang Xingmei, the producer of "Killing", can't see it.

So there was no shift yet.

But when "Thieves" was released and killed two Hollywood blockbusters, "Titanic" and "Super Battleship", Xingmei really panicked.

But it was already too late, the materials for the announcement had already been laid out, and several versions of the trailer were released. They all said that it would be released on April 4, and "Killing" was hard to get off, so we had to bite the bullet.

Huang Bo and Ren Dahua are already film kings, and they no longer need "Killing" to prove anything.Poor brother Hu, Doctor Niu is a very good character, and he did a good job, but "Killing" just disappeared without a sound.

On the next day, Sunday, "Alliance of Thieves" reached the highest box office, breaking "Transformers 3" last year's 1.27 highest single-day box office record in the mainland, reporting 1.35 million!
"Titanic" received 2462 million in a single day, and "Super Battleship" was worth over [-] million.

It is only on this day that it can be truly announced that "The Thieves" has held the [-]st gear.

But the victory of "Thieves" did not change the fact that apart from it, other domestic films throughout April were killed by Hollywood.

While celebrating the huge sales of "Thieves", the media also issued a warning: "Domestic films are collapsing!"

""Thieves" is excellent, but the prosperity of the "Thieves" family cannot conceal the fact that domestic films have been disarmed in front of the menacing Hollywood this year."

As the industry leader, Long-distance came out in time to stop the news from fermenting. Guo Fei, President of Long-distance Film and Television, said at the meeting: "I hope our media will not spread such alarmist remarks. Domestic films have not collapsed. Hollywood is indeed menacing. It also has an impact on domestic films, but this is the pain brought about by the opening of the market, and we cannot deny our entire domestic film at a temporary price."

"What we have to do is to admit the gap, there is no shame in being worse than others, and then catch up."

"Alliance of Thieves" defends the domestic film market in China, and Liu Yifei in the United States received a special guest after filming today.

Her godfather, Chen Jingfei.

Liu Yifei knew that Cheng Yu'an didn't like and was unwilling to deal with the godfather, so she had always intentionally separated the two of them in the middle.

Chen Jingfei knew that Cheng Yu'an didn't like him, so he didn't rush to associate with Cheng Yu'an.

But he came to the United States this time to meet Liu Yifei.

Of course Liu Yifei was also very happy to see Chen Jingfei.

Liu Xiaoli arranged the meeting place at the hotel coffee shop.

Chen Jingfei came to find Liu Yifei, what else could he do, the three of them finished talking about the past, he asked Liu Yifei about his future plans, and Liu Yifei didn't hold back:
"My role in "Pacific Rim" will be finished in half a month, and there will be a "Super Body" after that, which will be finished around August."

Only then did Chen Jingfei get down to business: "Qiqian, I have a play here, it's very good, I've already agreed with the director, you will play the heroine."

Dare to introduce the film.

Liu Yifei is full of career ambitions now. She really feels that the gap between herself and Cheng Yu'an is getting bigger and bigger. She really wants to make two more movies to prove herself, and she basically looks twice at the scripts she finds.

"Okay," Liu Yifei agreed first, "I'll read the script first."

Chen Jingfei was at a loss for words, and said awkwardly: "The script hasn't been written yet."

"Is there a demo?" There is no script, so there must be a demo and a synopsis of the story.

"Yes." It's not that Chen Jingfei has never made a movie, and he didn't want to cheat Liu Yifei, so he showed Liu Yifei the movie script outline he carried with him.

The name of the movie is "The Last War". It tells the story of the knights who were exiled to the East, the Chinese princess and the prince during the Crusades.

"Why does this story look so familiar to me?" Liu Yifei muttered after reading it, "It seems that "The Last Samurai" is also a story about Westerners living in the East and helping them."

When Chen Jingfei heard it, he found it familiar, and said happily: "The director of this movie is Nick Powell, the action director of "The Last Samurai", and he has already negotiated Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage to star in it. Qian, you play that Chinese princess."

The characters sound okay, Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage are also big names, and the movie looks good.

But Liu Yifei kept an eye out and didn't agree on the spot: "But I still want to wait for the script to come out and then read it in detail."

Chen Jingfei has no objection to Liu Yifei's suggestion: "You must read the script, don't worry, the script will be finalized this year, and it will start up in the middle of next year at the latest."

Then Chen Jingfei began to talk about how strong the behind-the-scenes lineup of this movie is.

The epic blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States is expected to replicate the success of "The Last Samurai".

The partner is the well-known Anle Films (Jiang Zhiqiang's company) in China, and the Yunnan Provincial Film Company joined in. The American side is the independent film studio Arc Light Films.

The investment exceeds 3000 million US dollars.

These are all facts, but if Cheng Yu'an was present, he would know that this "Last War" is the infamous "Legend of the White Phantom: Desperate Escape"!
Fortunately, under the influence and training of Cheng Yu'an in the past few years, Liu Yifei's aesthetics have skyrocketed, and she was not persuaded by Chen Jingfei on the spot.

In addition, the lessons from "Cloud Atlas" last year made Liu Yifei more careful, and she secretly decided to ask Sarah (the production director of a large film company) about the film later.

Make a decision later.
