Light and shadow player

"Warcraft" was released or made a lot of fun things.

For example, in order to cooperate with the release of the film, the flagship store of Golden Harvest Beijing has a full set of plays, and specially divided the movie hall into the alliance viewing area and the tribal viewing area.

And set up a notice board to remind fans:

"When watching the movie, please remember to observe the viewing camp. The alliance should not shout "Glory for the Alliance" in the tribal viewing area, and the tribe should not shout "For the Horde" in the alliance viewing area.

"Idle people please don't shout "Long live Demacia" in front of the theater, or you will be responsible for the consequences.

On that day, there were really many fans who COS came to the theater to buy tickets to watch the movie.

The atmosphere at the scene was very good.

Such a frenzied atmosphere helped "Warcraft" break through 5200 million at the box office, which is only 40 short of "Fast Seven".

This kind of achievement makes the fans of "Warcraft" rejoice, and there is nothing more fulfilling than spending money to promote the things you love.

"Crack!" Cheng Yu'an yelled and stared at the monitor for a long time before saying, "Uncle Da is finished!"

Cheng Yu'an took the lead in applauding, and personally delivered the finished flowers to Uncle Da.

Hugged with Uncle Da: "Thank you, Uncle Da."

Uncle Da was still panting heavily: "It should, it should."

In the few months of getting along, I have already said a lot of words of thanks, and now all Uncle Da can say is "this is what I should do."

It’s really not easy for Uncle Da, he’s getting old and he’s not in good health. In the past few days when Diao Weiya was filming the finale, the crew was really worried that he wouldn’t be able to make it through. Cheng Yu’an even advised him to use a stand-in. Uncle firmly disagrees.

It takes a whole day to hang Wia, up and down, very tiring.

Every time Uncle Da went up and down, he had to inhale oxygen on the ground for five or six minutes to recover.

Ambulances are always on hand.

The crew looked distressed.

Fortunately, Uncle Da finally completed all his roles.

"Come on, let's give Uncle Da a round of applause." Cheng Yu'an once again raised the audience to give Uncle Da a compliment.

Uncle Da couldn't hold back his tears, and said with a smile: "I have been filming for a lifetime, and I am so old that I want to cry because of you, a young man. Go away, I want to go back."

"Uncle Da." Cheng Yu'an called him from behind, "When will we cooperate again?"

"There is still a chance," Uncle Da said, with one foot already in the car, turning around, "You can film well, I'm leaving."

Cheng Yu'an sent Uncle Da off and returned to the set.

"The Wandering Earth" will be finished in 20 days at most, and there are not many scenes left.

The 15th in five days.

"Delete it." Cheng Yu'an watched Qin Ranqiu uninstall "Warcraft" from the computer, "You said it, I won't touch the game this year."

Qin Ranqiu lost in the end.

Who would have thought that the box office of "Warcraft" would go like that.

10 billion in the first five days, a direct plunge of 75% on working days!

Qin Ranqiu is stupid. He has seen the box office collapse, but he has never seen such a collapse. The box office of "Little Times" will not go like this.

There will be another "Finding Nemo 2" released in a few days, which will definitely affect the performance of "Warcraft".

Qin Ranqiu was so convinced that he lost, he opened the computer control panel and uninstalled "Warcraft".

"Which one do you think "Warcraft" will end up in?"

"Domestic [-] billion, global. I don't have global data, so it's hard to judge, but the loss is certain." Cheng Yu'an is very sure that "Warcraft" will lose money.

"A $1.6 million fan movie, I'll see how Thomas Tull explained to investors." It doesn't matter if Qin Ranqiu himself lost the bet, he became happy again when he thought that there was an even bigger unlucky person.

Speaking of Thomas Tour, Qin Ranqiu asked Cheng Yu'an: "Did you really shoot "Pacific Rim 2" for him?"

"We signed the contract last year, and we don't care about it." Seeing Qin Ranqiu's regretful expression, Cheng Yu'an smiled, "Don't think Thomas Tull is stupid, this old guy is smart, and he got Wanda to make this movie. "

After saying this, Qin Ranqiu understood.

"He sees that Yifei won't act."

"Part of the reason is that the first movie can make money thanks to Yifei's domestic box office support, and other markets around the world are barely paying back. In addition, these domestic companies are waving their money to go overseas. If I were Thomas Tull, I would know If you lose money, I will kill you."

In the past two years, domestic film companies have been too crazy. Before that, Huayi went to film, then Ari signed a film contract with Paramount, and then there was a cooperation between Wanda and Legendary Pictures.

It's a bit like rushing to give money to people.

But there is a strange point that they didn't find a big film company to cooperate with them when they went overseas.

A big film company is now on a par with Lionsgate in Hollywood. It is also the largest independent film company, and its performance in the summer vacation last year was the top six.

"What are you looking for?" Qin Ranqiu smiled, "Do you have a story to tell? Will the capital market believe the story you tell?"

Cheng Yu'an smiled, it's true.

It's not interesting to find a film company to cooperate with. A big film company has enough strength, but one thing is that its boss is Chinese.

What's so good about going to sea.

If you want to find it, you have to find a foreigner to endorse it.

Look, we do business with foreigners in Hollywood, we make Hollywood movies.

Look, we're working with a Chinese in America.

Two contrast, which story is more attractive?

It’s different now. In the past, Cheng Yu’an was able to control overseas channels by virtue of his first-mover advantage. Now, producers such as Wanda, Ari, and LeTV have no less money than Long-distance. Way to come.

But they don't understand the rules of Hollywood, or they understand but they are willing to be wronged.

What Hollywood can offer Chinese investors to invest in, if not ten, at least nine and a half are projects that they are not optimistic about.

In their eyes, Chinese investors are here to send money, and they can make whatever they want.

Therefore, at this year's Shanghai Film Festival, Guo Fei, the CEO of Long-distance Film and Television, was very incomprehensible to the overseas film lists announced by Wanda, Ali and other companies.

Wanda announced 30 movies in one go for its movie night, including "Pacific Rim 2," "Wolverine 3," and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2."
Ahri has released 17 productions, and the urine is still the same, focusing on IP+traffic.

Yuanyuan has no new films to be released at the Shanghai Film Festival this year, and has its own new film conference at the beginning of the year.

In the subsequent forum, Chen Zhixi advised all the executives present: "You need to be cautious when going overseas, and Yu'an's business in the United States is also slowly shrinking."

The business of a major film company is indeed shrinking, and original stories are not easy to do.

The two films confirmed so far this year are also classic remakes: "Return of the Clown" - a remake of the classic horror film of the same name in 1990; "Jumanji" - a remake of the 1995 Colombian science fiction film of the same name.

Cheng Yu'an has clearly felt that American public opinion is tightening in the past two years.

"Yu'an has been operating in the United States for more than ten years, but he still feels unprecedented pressure. I advise all the bosses to think before investing." Chen Zhixi said, it is up to them whether to listen or not.

The so-called good words are hard to persuade, damn it, now is the time of capital frenzy, and it is time to persuade people to invest cautiously, who will listen to you!
