Chapter 86 "Animal World" Released

This year's New Year's Eve is very lively. Feng Xiaogang's "A World Without Thieves" which he has been working on for more than two years is finally coming out, as well as Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu".

"A World Without Thieves" invested 4000 million yuan, and Andy Lau took 700 million yuan by himself.

But Andy Lau's Ying Yi Entertainment also has investment.

"A World Without Thieves" is another transformation of Feng Xiaogang, from comedy to action adventure.

It can be seen from the early marketing that the slogan of "A World Without Thieves" is to break the box office record of director Feng Xiaogang.

On the other hand, "A World Without Thieves" and Long-distance Media's "Animal World" have collided with each other.

Both movies also play under the banner of action-adventure.

But Hua Yi is not only interested in "Animal World", which was released nearly a month after "A World Without Thieves".

It is really time-consuming for the special effects of "Animal World".

When "A World Without Thieves" was released on December 12th, "Animal World" did all the post-production.

What Feng Xiaogang is really worried about is Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu", which is also invested by Huayi, and it will be released two weeks after "A World Without Thieves".

Zhou Xingxing's box office appeal in the two places is unquestionable. Andy Lau comforted Feng Xiaogang and said: "It's no shame to lose to Zhou Xingxing."

It's okay to say this on Hong Kong Island, but Feng Xiaogang can't stand this.

So in "A World Without Thieves", Feng Xiaogang put in extra effort to promote it.

In "A World Without Thieves", Feng Xiaogang enjoyed the treatment of "zero o'clock release" for the first time.

Moreover, Hong Kong Island also released the film simultaneously with the mainland, which gave Feng Xiaogang enough face.

The hard-working publicity has brought rich rewards, and the zero-point premiere won a box office of 60 for "A World Without Thieves".Nearly 500 million on the first day.

The attendance rate of the base camp in Beijing has been above 85%.

But it was also because "A World Without Thieves" was released too early—it should be the earliest Feng Xiaogang New Year's movie.

The audience’s spending power for Lunar New Year movies has not yet been fully unlocked, and the later stage trend is not very good, but everything is within the expectations of the theater chains. The directors of each theater chain said that they believe in the late stage potential of "A World Without Thieves".

Two weeks later, "Kung Fu" was released.

首日1100万，首周末4天5500万，到12月30日，内地票房达8600万！
Unstoppable!Even "House of Flying Daggers" couldn't stop it.

Because "A World Without Thieves" was released early, its influence was also weakened a lot.

By the time "Kung Fu" hit the box office, "A World Without Thieves" had already sunk to the secondary market.

Until the last day of 2004, Xiying Huayi received the news that the national box office of "A World Without Thieves" successfully exceeded [-] million!
Feng Xiaogang broke his career record as a director and became the second mainland director of a billion-dollar club, the first being Zhang Yimou's "Hero".

Cheng Yu'an is in the United States, and "Animal World" has already been arranged, so he doesn't need to keep an eye on the future work.

Under the auspices of Bob, a major film company launched two more horror films with Lionsgate and Lakeshore.

Fox was still worried.

A "Hide and Seek" and an "Exorcism", the total cost of the two films is 5000 million U.S. dollars, and a major film company paid 3000 million U.S. dollars.

So far, a major film company has pressed a total of 7 films to be released next year.

Although Bob wants to expand the company's film genre, he also knows that his basic disk is horror films.

While expanding the territory, we must consolidate our basic market.

Wen Ziren also returned from vacation to devote himself to the work of the new film, as the producer of "Chain Saw 2".

"Chain Saw 2" has set a schedule since its establishment, and it will be released in October next year.

After staying in the United States for more than half a month, Cheng Yu'an returned to China because "Animal World" was about to be released.

The biggest name in the crew of "Animal World" is Cheng Yu'an, the producer.

He has to be on the platform.

"I got the copyright very early. This movie is the most time-consuming since it was created remotely. It took almost a year from preparation to release." Cheng Yu'an faced the reporter's question and talked eloquently.

"Why didn't Director Cheng direct the movie himself?"

"I don't have time. At that time, I was working on "Warm and Containing Light", and I didn't have time to shoot "Animal World" at all."

"Could you introduce the director of Wuerfan beside you?"

"Director Wu is a senior in my film school. He has been shooting commercials and MVs before. You may not be familiar with the film industry, but those who know commercials should know his 523studio."

"Will Director Cheng be worried about handing over such an important Lunar New Year schedule to a new director?"

"To be honest, there are," Cheng Yu'an nodded, "at the beginning, Wuershan was also worried that I couldn't do well, but I still chose to hand over the film to him. This is out of consideration for the company's development. I can't be the only one in the whole remote Director, so I told Wu Ershan, I will give you 3000 million, and I will write the script for you as the producer, and delegate the power to you to shoot, and I will admit it if it fails.

"Someone has to get up."

"Does Director Cheng have any expectations for the box office of "Animal World"?"

"This is a very good story, and the special effects really cost money and time to make, otherwise it wouldn't have been delayed until January. As for the box office..."Animal World" has a scene that has never been seen in domestic films before. I hope the box office will exceed 1 million."

No, even if you are the best director in Venice, your tone is too loud.

Ur slaps a new recruit, and the first movie will cost over [-] million?
Dare to shout up.

But reporters don't care, that's what they want.

"Cheng Yu'an's bold words, "Animal World" aims at [-] million box office! "

"The new director's first battle in the Lunar New Year file, boasting that he will take [-] million box office!" "

Up to now, the popularity of "Kung Fu" has dropped, and I watched "Animal World" throughout January.

"Oh, there is one more thing to inform everyone. Our company's director Ning Hao's new film "Green Grassland" will be released on the 15th of next month. I hope everyone will join us." Cheng Yuan took the opportunity to advertise to Ning Hao.

The pre-screening interview session ended, the premiere guests took their seats, and the film began to be screened.

The action scene of the clown in the cartoon at the beginning is fascinating.

There is indeed no domestic film with such an opening.

Chen Kun was dressed in a clown costume and stood on the rooftop with a sideways smile.

The camera quickly switched to the opening subtitles, and at the same time Chen Kun began to confess:
"My brain is sick. Really. My brain is really sick. It's not the kind of disease that can be cured by taking medicine and injections, surgery, and this disease - there is no cure at all."

Various monsters appeared on the screen.

Actor subtitles appear.

Leading starring: Chen Kun.

Friendship starring: Chen Xi.

"It doesn't matter, the important thing is that you all have to remember that I have a sick mind."

Title: "Animal World"!
The content of the film is not too elaborate. The game "Animal World" was released in 2004. Many people have not seen it and may not understand it.

The film is slightly longer, 130 minutes, but the rhythm is tight, the play is smooth, and the decryption process is exciting.

Until the end credits appeared, the audience was immersed in the card game of "Animal World".

"Do you understand?"

"Uh... didn't that Zheng Kaisi explain it?"

"I asked you if you understood."

"No!"

　I plan to build a group when I have 20W words.
