Chapter 1032 Asian Propaganda
After the interview with the six princesses, the "Interstellar" crew continued to start the promotional journey of the film.

"Happy Camp", "Everyday Upward", "Very Quiet Distance" and other popular variety shows, as well as the meeting of the top ten major box office cities.

Interviews with well-known media, magazines, forums, portals, etc., made the crew of "Interstellar" run non-stop for 2 weeks and it is not over yet.

In addition, Haotian Films spent 5000 million yuan on all aspects of hard publicity for "Interstellar", including theater posters, pre-screening advertisements, bus bodies, taxi electronic screens, platform advertising boxes, real estate posters, and elevator display screens.

There are also the four major portal websites, the top five well-known forums in the country, the four major video websites, radio stations, etc., all bought advertisements.

UC, Tudou, Douban, Haotian Tongcheng, Weibo, Daily Headlines, Kuaishou, Taopiao.com, Haotian Games, Haotian Animation, etc. under Haotian also gave "Interstellar Crossing" in the most eye-catching places. "Leave a headline on the front page!
For a time, the whole country was surrounded by "Interstellar".

Countless people are bombarded with multiple advertisements for "Interstellar" all day long.

When I wake up in the morning and open UC or Toutiao to read the news, or to see if there are any updates to my favorite novels "Fights Break the Sphere" and "Shading the Sky", the result is that the first thing I see is "Interstellar".

When going out by car, the advertising box on the platform, the electronic screen of the taxi, and the body of the bus are all "Interstellar". Even the high-rise buildings you see on the road have huge posters of "Interstellar"!

After arriving at the company, while waiting for the elevator, you can still see the news that "Interstellar" is about to be released on the screen.

In my spare time, I open my microblog to see the hot news, or I open the video site to watch funny short videos, and the result is "Interstellar".

In addition, well-known forums and animation websites are also occupied by "Interstellar", and even the radio station that I listen to on the car home has news about "Interstellar".

And when you go home and think you can stop for a while, you find out that the variety shows you watched such as "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward" actually invited the crew of "Interstellar".

In one day, all you see and hear is "Interstellar", and you will be brainwashed!

Finally, I have to say, "If "Interstellar" is not good, I want you to look good!"

……

While Chen Hao led the crew of "Interstellar" to promote it, the North American film market ushered in the fourth film of Liang Tianchi Films this year, James Wen's latest thriller "The Conjuring"!
The low-budget supernatural thriller "The Conjuring" invested by Liang Tianchi Films showed its power.

Not only did "Despicable Me 2", which won the championship for two consecutive weeks, take down the championship, but it also withstood the all-round and three-dimensional combined attacks of the animation "Speed ​​Snail", the action "Red Flame Battlefield 2" and the magic "Underworld Police Station", and Earnings more than twice the cost topped the list.

And "The Conjuring" topped this week's box office list, which also made a rare horror-themed champion appear in the fiercely competitive North American summer schedule!
North American weekend box office list (2013.7.19-2013.7.21):
No. 1, "The Conjuring", with a weekend box office of US$4153 million, Liang Tianchi Films, a cumulative box office of US$4153 million, 2903 theaters, and a production cost of US$2000 million;
No. 2, "Despicable Me 2", the weekend box office was 2505 million US dollars, Haotian special effects, the cumulative box office was 27615 million US dollars, the number of theaters was 3820, a decrease of 42.9% compared with last week, and the production cost was 2500 million US dollars;
No. 3, "Speed ​​Snail", with a weekend box office of 2150 million US dollars, 20th Century Fox, with a cumulative box office of 3120 million US dollars, 3806 theaters, and a production cost of 1.35 million US dollars;
……

This week's champion is the dark horse work "The Conjuring", which is beyond the industry's expectations!
This thriller, which cost only 2000 million U.S. dollars, was screened in 2903 theaters, and won the championship with an excellent single-hall score of 14306 U.S. dollars. It earned as much as 4153 million U.S. dollars in three days on the weekend!
That's twice as much as the bidding cost!
Successfully defeated all the films of the same type released this year, including the spring dark horse "Mother Invasion" (2840 million drawings), the classic remake "Ghost Playing Man" (2577 million drawings) and the new version of "The Texas Saw Massacre" (2174 million drawings) painting).

This achievement even rewrote the opening list of supernatural horror-themed film history. The first week of 4153 million US dollars was second only to the 3 million of "Supernatural Phenomena 5256", ranking the second highest in film history!

And for the director-Hollywood horror master James Wen, this opening result is also the best opening box office of his personal directing career!
The sudden rise of "The Conjuring" has surprised the industry. In fact, this is due to the gradual accumulation of director James Wen's popularity. Like actors, directors, personal appeal is also one of the main guarantee elements for the box office.

If it weren't for Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" that shined at the Oscars and accumulated enough popularity for him, "Hellboy 2" might not have appeared at all.

The same is true for James Wen, from the earliest "Dead Silence" to "Chain Saw", and then to the "Ghost Room" that people call "ghost".

James Wen, as a Chinese-American director, used his unique horror aesthetics to ascend to the throne of Hollywood horror master step by step.

This year, James will not only have a movie "Yin Erfang 2" to be released, but also hold the power of next year's "Fast and Furious 7". His personal career and appeal can be described as flourishing.

Secondly, a supernatural horror film can win the championship in the bloody summer file because of the audience's desire for high-IQ horror themes.

When was the last film of the same genre (supernatural horror) released?

It goes all the way back to the new version of "Ghost Player" in early April!
And in the next three and a half months, no decent similar horror works appeared!
After entering the summer vacation, there will be blockbuster stunt action movies such as "Iron Man", "Enterprise", and "Speed ​​Racing", followed by the sweet warmth of "Monster" + "Dad" that lasts for a month.

The "heavy taste" crowd in the North American consumer group is hungry and thirsty. Finally, "The Hangover 3" advertised as R-rated appeared, but it is actually at PG level.

Don't you see that at this time last year, the "Teddy Bears" and "Strippers" had already started selling meat and selling the lower limit!
As a result, the "Human Purge Plan" that massacred everyone became a blockbuster, and this week's "The Conjuring" also became an unexpected and reasonable flashpoint.

Now "The Conjuring" already holds two titles of the highest opening drawing of a horror film in 2013 and the highest opening drawing of an original horror film in film history.

If you can successfully resist the steel claw raid of "Wolverine" next week and control the decline within 50%, then you will have the strength to hit the [-] million yuan level!
And if the film is successful, it will also become James Wen's first work to exceed [-] million yuan.

"The Conjuring" received a comprehensive media rating of 68 points, 85% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, 92 people voted for Fresh Tomatoes, and 16 voted for Rotten Tomatoes. Among them, "New York Time Out" scored a perfect score, which is a rare high score for horror themes evaluate.

"James Wendy used all the available elements in the film to create a breathtaking atmosphere perfectly. The emotional mobilization and sound effects make this film break away from the cheap look and feel of traditional horror films, and it is tight from the beginning. Grab the nerves of the audience!"

"Smart, almost shrewd, viscerally brilliant horror flick!"

"James Wing is always able to surprise us, and his ability to control the supernatural theme is already proficient!"

"Best horror movie of the year, and James Wyn's best yet!"

"There is not a single drop of blood in the whole story, but the surging sense of terror engulfs you without any room for negotiation!"

"The ending is both funny and scary, and keeps the audience on alert, longing and anticipation!"

""The Conjuring" uses one of the most primitive and effective methods of shaping fear, which is to layer and upgrade the sense of horror alternately. Although it is primitive, it is absolutely effective!"

……

The North American media obviously love and even admire this "The Conjuring" very much. James Wen can be regarded as completely getting rid of the "shadow" of Chen Hao and "Chain Saw", and truly has his own masterpiece!

Become a horror master recognized by the North American media and the industry!
Liang Tianchi Pictures is naturally overjoyed. After the end of the "Chain Saw" series, Liang Tianchi Pictures has been looking for the next thriller series.

Originally, James Wen's "Latent" in 2011 had high hopes, but the performance and reputation of the film were still slightly inferior to that of "Saw".

The box office and word-of-mouth of "The Conjuring" are now soaring, which is exactly the same as "Chain Saw" back then, which naturally makes Liang Tianchi Pictures a treasure.

Obviously, "The Conjuring" will become the horror series that Liang Tianchi Pictures will focus on next. Of course, "Latent" is not bad, and it must be serialized.

In addition, "Despicable Me 2" is still firmly holding the runner-up position, and the cumulative box office has reached 2.76 million US dollars!
It is possible to exceed 3 million before next Friday, and it is very likely to exceed 2 million before the arrival of "The Smurfs 3.5"!
In contrast, "Monsters University" was completely devastated, and this week it exploded with a drop of more than 50%, but it finally approached 2.5 million staggeringly, breaking through the 1 million of "Shrek 2.67" There is no suspense, but 2.8 million is probably the box office limit!
The performance of "Despicable Me 2" is very good, whether it is the North American box office or the global box office, it is very likely to create a new box office record for Haotian special effects!

……

When "The Conjuring" topped the weekend box office rankings in North America, Chen Hao bid farewell to the crew of "Interstellar" and went to Xiangjiang to promote it.

When he came to Xiangjiang, Chen Hao was warmly received by Jiang Zhiqiang, Zhou Runfa and Liu Dehua. Of course, Wen Yongshan's company was indispensable!
"I wish Director Chen's new film "Interstellar" a big hit!" Liu Dehua raised his glass.

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Hao smiled.

"I also have to thank you." Zhou Runfa laughed, after all, he also participated in the performance.

"With Fa Ge here this time, the box office of Xiangjiang and Baodao should be stable." Chen Hao laughed.

"Wherever it is, it still depends on Director Chen's appeal." Zhou Runfa laughed.

Time passed quickly between toasting and toasting, because the publicity will start tomorrow, so they left after eating.

Chen Hao took Wen Yongshan back to his villa, and as soon as they entered the house, the two of them were stuck together like Siamese twins.

……

An hour later, Wen Yongshan half-closed her beautiful eyes, and her soul wandered into the sky.

Chen Hao is also aloof, with no distracting thoughts in his mind!

After a while, Wen Yongshan started stroking Chen Hao's body with her jade hands, watching Chen Hao hesitate to speak.

Seeing this, Chen Hao played with Wen Yongshan's jade legs, and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just tell me, if you don't tell me, I'll pretend I don't know."

Wen Yongshan paused after hearing the words, "Can I also go to the mainland to develop?"

Chen Hao frowned after hearing this, "Why, isn't it good to develop in Xiangjiang? Jiang Zhiqiang, Fa Ge, and Hua Tsai didn't take care of you?"

"That's not true. It's much better than before." Wen Yongshan said immediately, "It's just that many people have gone north now, and that is the future."

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, Xiangjiang continued to decline in the middle and late 90s, and when Mr. Chen's incident happened in 2008, he was directly sentenced to death.

The younger generation in Xiangjiang was ruined, and until more than ten years later, people still saw the same old faces, not to mention the lack of acceptance, there is simply no younger generation.

And the entertainment industry is not only the future, it is also in the mainland now, this is the consensus of everyone now.

"Really want to go to the mainland?" Chen Hao asked.

"Yeah." Wen Yongshan nodded repeatedly, and then muttered, "At least I'm not worse than Tianbao!"

Chen Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard that, it turned out that he was compared with his best friend!
As the saying goes, if you compare goods, you will throw them away, and if you compare people, you will die!
Wen Yongshan and Tianbao are only one year apart, they both debuted as young models, and they were very good girlfriends in the past, but now the development of the two is indeed very different.

The current Tianbao is a small Huadan with a strong momentum in the mainland. He entered Huayi by holding the leader of Huang, established his own studio, and won the support of Huayi.

Not only has he starred in two films, but he also collaborated with the new generation of Baodao's Heavenly Court Banquet, and also acted with Liang Jiahui, Liu Dehua, Aaron Kwok, Liu Ruoying and other kings and queens.

She also sang a duet with Lin Junjie, served as the guest host of the Academy Awards, became the actress with the most magazine covers in 2012, and has entered the Forbes China Celebrity List for 2 consecutive years, and has risen to No. 54 this year!
He also opened nail salons, coffee shops, lifestyle shops, etc. in Xiangjiang, and opened branches in all of them.

Although Wen Yongshan is relatively well-known in the new generation of Xiangjiang, compared with Tianbao, who is well-known in the mainland, the gap is a bit big.

The so-called, Wen Yongshan saw the scenery of her former little sister and good girlfriend, and then looked at herself, and she was naturally unbalanced.

"It's not impossible to go to the mainland." Chen Hao said, "But you have to deal with Xiangjiang's affairs first, and I have to make arrangements."

"No problem, no problem." Wen Yongshan nodded with a charming smile, "I'm not in a hurry, I can wait."

"That's good." Chen Hao nodded, "Then do I have any rewards?"

Wen Yongshan gave Chen Hao a flirtatious look, then blinked Kazilan's big eyes and kept staring at Chen Hao, while slowly lowering her head.
