This director is very reliable

Chapter 642 3 million in the first weekend? (33)

The entertainment industry is actually Vanity Fair, fame and profit are causal, after all, if there is no profit, who would choose to be famous?
Where there is profit, there is capital. Where there is capital, if the system and rules are not clear enough, then gangsters will come - because there are blurred boundaries!

In fact, in ancient times, the performing arts and entertainment circles were part of the Jianghu, and were inseparable from the underworld.

For example, in brothels controlled by the underworld, in addition to engaging in the kind of business that everyone knows, there will also be performing arts performances-although the level is different.

The performance and entertainment that really got on the stage are really behind the official.

Not only in China, but also in Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe was picked up by John Rosselli...

At that time, Hong Kong movies were the leader in the entire Asian region. Just find a few stars to make a movie for a few days. Even if the local market can’t sell it, Southeast Asia can sell tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars...

Therefore, the underworld has the motivation to become a celebrity, and it is a routine operation to grab people and schedules, and first-line Hong Kong and Taiwan stars can't get along without a gangster background.

After 93 years, times have changed...

First of all, although some Hong Kong movies are still popular in Southeast Asia, they have lost to Hollywood.

Hollywood in that era was not a Hollywood that only had money, but a Hollywood that needed technology, creativity, ideals, acting skills, and miracles!
Especially "Jurassic Park", it really kills the world!

Hong Kong movies, supported by a few talented actors, are actually immature in front of Hollywood's super production factories...

At that time, there were only two ways to stop Hollywood: 1. Don’t give it the opportunity to broadcast in the local market, and protect its basic market; 2. Hollywood itself looks down on the Eastern market, don’t come, choose not to globalize;

Then, the Soviet Union collapsed...

Globalization, going to the former Soviet Union, going to the East, going to Africa, and going to all the places where you can make money, was the consensus of the United States at that time...

Since 93, Hollywood has implemented a globalization policy that does not leave any dead corners in the market, eating up the basic overseas market of Hong Kong movies!
Hollywood's globalization strategy is basically globalization without leaving market gaps.

By the way, the largest market for Hong Kong films at that time was Taiwan Province, and Taiwan filmmakers began to withdraw their capital in 1993. Before that, Hong Kong films enjoyed local treatment in Taiwan, with unlimited distribution and low tax rates. The main reason for the withdrawal was Hong Kong. The asking price of the film is too high, and it is no longer profitable to invest in Hong Kong films.

However, Hong Kong films completely lost the Taiwan market in 1996, because in this year, Taiwan completely relaxed the restrictions on western films.

Of course, the blockbuster film that made Hong Kong filmmakers completely bow down to Hollywood was Cameron's masterpiece "Titanic" released in 1997, which raked in 1.28 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong that year. "6127 million Hong Kong dollars, almost doubled, while "A Good Man", the top-grossing Hong Kong film in 97, only had a box office of 4550 million...

Since then, Hong Kong filmmakers have realized that they cannot beat the Hollywood blockbusters that are sweeping the world!
Can't beat what to do?
How about joining?
In its strong period, Hollywood has a siphon effect on film talents almost all over the world!
Jackie Chan, Zhou Runfa, including Li Lianlian, etc. tried to prove themselves in Hollywood, and then became an important force for Hollywood to enter the East...

In addition, the disk market is monopolized by various pirates, and they can't even make tertiary movies...

I really can’t afford it. You spend 150 million to make a film, and people directly pirate it in high-definition. What can you do?
……

In the domestic market, "International Market" has always occupied the top two box office charts - after "Maze Runner 2" was released, it took the single-day box office champion.

On November 11, "International Market" was released for 13 days, with a cumulative box office of 20 million...

Then "007: Spectre" and "Through the Long Years with Anthony" were released...

The latter is produced by Zhou Xun + starring Yang Xiaomi, and the director is Qin Xiaozhen.

6300 million box office opening weekend...

Did not meet expectations!

At first glance at the name of this movie, I thought it was about the touching story of Carmelo Anthony, the third pick of the NBA's golden generation in 03, wasting his time, saying goodbye to the championship, being a companion in the world of mortals, riding a horse and sharing the prosperity of the world with LeBron.

Carmelo Anthony is so miserable, brother basketball didn't bring him!
In fact, he is not bad, the most widely known is the comprehensive skills, the so-called offensive kaleidoscope, but after the trade to the Knicks, Melon became a fat melon, a shooting machine, and his breakthrough skills were basically hidden...

Well, Anthony in "Spend Long Years with Anthony" doesn't play basketball, this movie is boring!
No rhythm at all, smelly and long Qzone log!

If it weren't for Yang Xiaomi's appeal and hard work in publicity, the box office would have been even worse...

Indeed, in the original time and space, the total box office of "Spend the Long Years with Anthony" is only 6200 million...

Very good, fulfilled the "International Market" over 6 million...

As for "007: Spectre", as a world-renowned action film project, its performance in the mainland is considered tepid, with 2.8 million yuan in the first weekend...

In fact, the Hollywood blockbusters that mainland audiences like are still blockbusters with special effects, and it is within the expected range to be indifferent to 007, which does not have many big scenes!
And... the IP of 007 is absolutely amazing!

I wanted to see him show off, but he turned out to be more down-to-earth than Leng Feng...

If I want to watch special effects, he will show me the plot. If I want to watch fighting, he will forgive me. If I want to watch robots, he will show me real people for two hours...

are you crazy?

The only thing to watch is probably the black widow dress in Monica Bellucci's film, just two words, sexy.

Pushed to the corner by the male protagonist step by step, kissed and slapped...

But that’s all it takes to see it. No wonder the Douban score is 6.2—later it rose to 6.5...

Then on November 11th, "Back to 20" was released, and it was another movie that focused on meat. This time, she was paired with Brother Hu + Bai Jingting, the director was Yao Tingting, and the producer was Su Lun...

The box office was 0.9 million on the first day, 1.2 million the next day, and 1.1 million on the third day...

That's right, in the first three days of the weekend, the box office exceeded [-] million!

Simply put, the cost of this play is 5500 million, of which 6000 million is placed in advertisements—a typical profitable project that has not been released.

Now, over [-] million in the first weekend...

"Back to 20" does not have the support of the original IP, it relies purely on the appeal of meat.

And there are "The Hunger Games 3", "Desperate Express: Restart War" in the same period...

Hang them both.

After the box office was released, everyone on the Internet, including in the industry, was talking about meat...

She is also the main character of this drama, and she is the C position in publicity and posters.

Brother Hu and Bai Jingting are considered marginal characters...

In 2015, three plays, "My Girlhood" (cost 4500 million, box office 9.46 million), "Bottom Posh" (cost 3800 million, box office 6.7 million), plus "Back to 20", the first weekend smashed 3 million box office...

Kill crazy!

The flesh...it's not only red to purple.

This... is a walking money printing machine!

"Returning to 20 Years Old" crew road show, basically every stop, surrounded by thousands of people...

"I think so. First of all, the script is better, and then we can talk about the suitability of the actors. Otherwise, it's all castles in the sky!"

"...It's not that I will pick plays, the main reason is that the company has arranged well. The plays I take are basically picked by the company for me..."

Facing the interview, although Rouba has repeatedly said modestly that it was just luck, but...

Three blockbusters in a row, and in the same year, by the way, next month there will be "Exquisite Ancient City"...

No matter how humble you are, if you listen too much, you will be a little drifting.
