Chapter 1045 Chen Hao, give me some face
The box office of "Interstellar" exceeded 10 billion yuan, which shocked the entire industry and the media.

Although we all know that "Interstellar" is likely to be a 10 billion-level movie, but it took only three weeks to break the 10 billion box office. This speed still surprised many people.

And the box office broke 10 billion in three weeks, so the 12.46 billion yuan box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is already very unstable.

Could it be that the 2013 crown is about to change hands?
Still, there's a big question mark over "Interstellar" breaking "Journey to the West"'s box office record.

That is, in the fourth week of August, a total of 8 new films will be released in the mainland film market.

Among them is the Hollywood special effects blockbuster "Jurassic Park 3D".

There is no doubt that this Hollywood blockbuster will be a box office bomb, and the box office impact of "Interstellar", which has been released in its 4th week, will be fierce.

Not only that, this week there will also be "Monsters University" produced by Pixar, an animation film giant, and "Modern Times" starring Xu Shanzheng, who has become popular in the circle because of his director "Tai囧".

By the way, since "Lost in Thailand" hit the box office, Haotian Films has often contacted Xu Shanzheng to discuss the third part of "On the Journey".

As the director and lead actor of the first two films, Xu Shanzheng is the core character in the series "On the Journey", so Haotian Films does not want to change people unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because once the person is changed, even if it is still this series, I believe that many viewers will feel that this movie is not pure. Without the original formula, there will be no original taste.

Therefore, the best solution for Haotian Films is to choose Xu Shanzheng.

However, although Xu Shanzheng was polite, he always used busyness as an excuse to tactfully avoid talking about the third part.

Haotian Movies naturally also knew what Xu Shanzheng meant, it was nothing more than profit!

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit!

Haotian Movies didn't bully others, as it would be easy to stink in the circle. After all, the series of "People on the Journey" has been widely known because of "Lost in Thailand", and it will definitely be the focus of attention both inside and outside the circle.

A little trouble will be known to everyone.

Although the "People on the Journey" series is indeed very profitable, there is no need to ruin your reputation for the money.

Chen Hao's consistent aim is to make many friends and few enemies.

After all, many friends have multiple paths, so that Haotian Movie can stand for a long time!
Therefore, in the cooperation plan given by Haotian Films, it is proposed that Xu Shanzheng can participate in the investment in the third part of "People on the Journey".

So the two sides finally started the detailed negotiation of the third part, but the two sides had some differences on the investment ratio.

The proportion of Xu Shan's contention exceeded Haotian Movie's expectation, not because he was reluctant, but because Haotian Movie was preparing to involve Wang Baobao.

Although in "Lost in Thailand", Chen Hao gave Huang Bo and Wang Baobao the same red envelope rewards, but Chen Hao did not forget that in his previous life, Wang Baobao left the series because of unequal benefits.

After all, Baobao Wang is also the core of the "囧" series and the biggest joke maker. More importantly, he is too unique in the industry as an actor, and it is difficult to find a replacement.

Thinking about the embarrassment of being played by Bao Bei in the role originally belonged to Bao Bao, Chen Hao felt that it was better to play Bao Bao Wang.

Therefore, the two sides still did not reach an agreement soon.

At this time, Xu Shanzheng said that he had accepted a play, which is "Modern Times", which will be released soon.

I don’t know if Xu Shanzheng left Haotian Movies or the "囧" series to prove that he still has a lot to eat, so he wants to use "Modern Times" to prove his ability and box office appeal.

It's good to wait until you sit at the negotiating table again and strive for greater benefits for yourself.

In this regard, Haotian Films didn't say anything, let the facts speak for everything!

Therefore, the box office success of "Modern Times" has largely affected the cooperation agreement between Haotian Films and Xu Shanzheng's third "囧" series.

As for the other four films, "The Thief", "Pink Girl Run Lover", "Back to Where Love Begins", and "Unknown Origin".

Except for "Back to the Place Where Love Begins" starring Liu Sisi, Zhou Yuming, Zhou Yiwei, and Liu Yun has some fan popularity, but it doesn't have much box office potential, let alone the other three films.

It is not as threatening as old rivals "Little Times 2", "One Night Surprise" and "Guild War".

……

Time flies like a flash, and the fourth week of August will soon pass, and the new weekly box office rankings in the Mainland will also be freshly released.

The 33rd Week of Mainland Film Week Box Office Ranking (2013.8.19-2013.8.25):
No. 1, "Jurassic Park 3D", released for 6 days, with a weekly box office of 1.722 million yuan, accounting for 37.26% of the box office, 24.3% of the film schedule, 141100 screenings, and an average audience of 38;
No. 2, "Interstellar", was released for 25 days, with a weekly box office of 1.02 million yuan, accounting for 21.47% of the box office, 20.5% of the film schedule, 115328 screenings, and an average audience of 33;
The third place, "Monsters University", was released for 3 days, with a weekly box office of 3 million yuan, accounting for 6229% of the box office, 13.95% of the film schedule, 11.9 screenings, and an average of 69503 people per game;
No. 4, "Guild War", released for 10 days, with a weekly box office of 3459 million yuan, accounting for 7.28% of the box office, 12.9% of the film schedule, 74942 screenings, and an average of 19 people per game;

""Jurassic Park 3D" hit 1.72 million yuan in box office in the first week, becoming the new weekly box office champion!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
""Interstellar" sold another 4 million in the 1.02th week, and the dream of winning the box office for the fourth time in a row was shattered!" —— Taopiao.com

""Interstellar" has a cumulative box office of 4 billion yuan in 11.026 weeks, and the battle for the annual crown is again turbulent!"--Qiandu Entertainment
"Xu Shanzheng starring in "Modern Times" did not perform well at the box office at the premiere, and only ranked 5th on the list!"--Douban.com

……

In the 8th week of August, "Jurassic Park 4D" won the weekly box office champion without any surprise!

However, although the box office of 1.72 million yuan in the first week is high enough, it has not reached [-] million yuan, which is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

It can be seen from the box office of the first week that the final box office of "Jurassic Park 3D" should not be too high, probably between 3-4 million yuan.

This result has no impact on "Iron Man 3", let alone competing for the annual championship!
However, "Jurassic 3D" did have an impact on the battle for the crown, because it caused the decline of "Interstellar" to reach 54.86%.

Created the largest single-week drop in "Interstellar" so far!

"Interstellar" received another 4 million yuan at the box office in the 1.02th week, failing to achieve 4 consecutive weekly box office championships!

With a box office of 1.02 million, "Interstellar" ranked No. 5 in the box office rankings in the fourth week of mainland movie history!
It is next to "Lost in Thailand" with 2.003 million yuan, "Avatar" with 1.77 million yuan, "Inception" with 1.65 million yuan, and "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" with 1.455 million yuan!
The cumulative box office in 4 weeks was 11.026 billion yuan, which is 12.46 million yuan short of the 1.44 billion yuan of "Journey to the West"!

In the next week, "Jurassic Park 3D" and "Monsters University" will usher in a complete 7-day screening time, and there will be 7 new films released next week.

Among them, "There Are Eyes Through the Window", "Summer Shows Love", "Flash Play" and "Crazy Director" are purely cannon fodder, and there is not much worthy of attention.

As for "The Stolen Five Years" starring Bai Baihe, if it was from the previous life, it would be a threat, but now Bai Baihe does not have "33 Days of Broken Love".

And without the leading role of "Break Up Contract", naturally there will be no aura of spokesperson for the mainland chick movie.

Therefore, this time "The Stolen Five Years" is much less threatening.

The two Hollywood films that really deserve attention are "Tsunami Miracle" and "The Great Gatsby".

It is foreseeable that by the fifth week of August, the box office of "Interstellar" will definitely fall below 8 million, but whether the decline will exceed 5% is still uncertain.

According to normal rules, the final box office of "Interstellar" should be a little over 12 billion, and it is hard to say whether it can exceed the 12.46 billion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

This also makes the competition between "Interstellar" and "Journey to the West" more dramatic, and it also makes the competition between Chen Hao and Xingye, the two box office kings in the mainland and Xiangjiang, more interesting.

And just before the media and fans waited for the new week's box office rankings, on August 2013, 8, the 28th China Film Golden Rooster Awards officially announced the list of nominees for this year.

""Gravity" won 9 nominations and led the nomination list of the 29th China Film Golden Rooster Awards!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"Chen Hao will compete again for the best director of the Golden Rooster, and will compete with Chen Kexin, Feng Dapao and Wang Jiawei!"-- Netease Entertainment
"Master Xun was nominated for Best Actress again for "Gravity"!" --- Pain News Entertainment
……

The announcement of the nomination list for the 29th Golden Rooster Award made the media lively for a while, but it was far less important than before.

Because, the Golden Rooster Award is really getting more and more tasteless!
There are many reasons why the Golden Rooster is becoming more and more tasteless, such as changing the host city every year.

There is no fixed venue, and the experience and conclusions accumulated each year will not be used in the next city. Therefore, every year, there will always be various organizational chaos, the hotel where the media stays too far away from the event venue, and many other problems.

Compared with various "nutritious" activities such as industry insider forums and themed film screenings at major film festivals, the Golden Rooster Film Festival is rarely held, so it has become a jury going through the motions, and stars sitting in rows for one person and one award. Chicken Rib Festival.

The Golden Rooster has long been reduced to a position that only the main theme filmmakers still love.

Every year at the film festival, there are always a large number of moviegoers who have never heard of it, let alone seen it in theaters, but they can still win the best feature film, best documentary, organizing committee awards and other awards at the Golden Rooster. kinds of awards.

This is also the main reason why the Golden Rooster Award has become tasteless.

It’s not about blindly denying these films, but a film festival is full of films that a large number of audiences don’t even know about. They haven’t even seen them, so they have no way of knowing whether they are good or bad. It’s up to you to decide.

Moreover, this type of film is often too low-profile, and without a famous star director, the attention will naturally be low.

There is always the phenomenon of double yolk eggs, which will give everyone the impression that you are not professional enough.

It is impossible to pay attention to a film festival where you don’t know about the award-winning films. If you don’t pay attention, you will naturally have no influence.

If the audience doesn't pay attention, then businesses, TV stations, and broadcasters won't bother to cooperate with it, so there will be no exposure, and it will naturally become more and more tasteless.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards was held under such circumstances, and it has even reached a difficult point.

On the first day of the opening, zero stars, zero crew and zero activities were dubbed "three zero products" by media reporters.

Although relevant departments issued the "Notice on Stopping Luxurious Extravagance and Advocating Frugal Evenings", the Golden Rooster Award Organizing Committee canceled seven events including the opening and closing ceremonies receptions, and the opening ceremony performances were also cancelled.

It is said that the festival should be frugal and let the film festival return to the film itself.

But the influence of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers is declining day by day, and the real reason why it is forced to "slim down" is that it cannot invite stars and crews.

Only Zhang Guoli, Zhao Yanzi, Zhang Jingchu, Huang Jiaozhu, Ah Sa, Du Garbage, etc. are the only guests confirmed to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards. These stars were invited by CCTV Movie Channel, the organizer of the closing ceremony, and the latter two are still here to promote the new film. of.

This shows the extent of the decline of the Golden Rooster Award.

When Chen Hao saw the list of nominations for the Golden Rooster Awards, although "Gravity" received the most 9 nominations, he just smiled.

Except for the best documentary, the best science and education film and other nominations that have nothing to do with "Gravity", the Golden Rooster Awards will not be given to "Gravity", as long as the other nominations that are worthy of "Gravity" are given "Gravity".

I don't know if it is compensation to Chen Hao, or to lure Chen Hao to participate.

"The Golden Rooster Awards will be held in Jiangcheng on September 1, one month later, do you want to participate?" Sister Shi came in and asked.

"No, I don't want to look like a fool anymore." Chen Hao shook his head directly.

Sister Shi nodded when she heard the words, indicating that I made a note of it.

Then Chen Hao lay down on the boss chair and said, "Would you like to sit up?"

It was Sister Shi who greeted her with a coquettish look.

Chen Hao just wanted to make fun of a few words, but he thought about the phone, and it was still a rare visitor, Xie Fei.

"Teacher, how are you doing recently?" Chen Hao asked enthusiastically.

"I'm in good health, so I don't need to worry too much." Xie Fei smiled, "Xiao Hao, I won't play around with you anymore. Are you planning to participate in this year's Golden Rooster Awards?"

When Chen Hao heard this, he frowned, and then said with a smile, "To tell you the truth, I'm really not going to participate."

"I knew it." Xie Fei sighed, "But I have to be a villain today. I was entrusted by others to invite you to participate in this Golden Rooster Award. As for the reason, you should also know that I really can't invite anyone. Yes!
Everyone knows your status in the circle, and I also know that I have taught you, so the left and the right asked me to call you. They are all old colleagues and old relationships. I really can't save face and can only agree to call you. Make phone call. "
