Chapter 1098 Let's run, brother!

After the premiere of "Heart Blossoms on the Road", it has received praise from most film critics and fans, and its schedule is in the increasingly popular National Day file.

The films released in the same week include "Hero Ruffian: Rise of Dawn" starring Huang Bo, "Golden Age" directed by Xu Anhua, and two animated films "Quiba 2" and "McDull, Me and My Mom".

Although the several films that were released in the same week as "Heart Blossoms on the Road" are somewhat well-known, compared with Ning Hao, the director with the most box office potential in the Mainland, they are still not enough to watch.

Therefore, both the industry and Ning Hao have expectations for the film's box office.

However, the fact still surprised everyone!
The box office of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" reached 1.35 million RMB on the first day (including the zero point show)!

This box office result directly broke the first-day box office record of domestic films in mainland film history, and brought the first-day box office of domestic films into the era of [-] million yuan.

At the same time, this result also broke the single-day box office record of 1.23 million yuan for a domestic film held by Chen Hao's "Interstellar"!
However, this is just the beginning. "Heart Blossoms on the Road" continued to make efforts on the second and third days immediately after, and became the first film in the history of Chinese films to exceed 3.6 million in three consecutive days. The cumulative box office reached [-] million yuan.

On the fifth day of its release, "Heart Blossoms on the Road" had a total box office of 5.36 million, making it the fastest Chinese film in history to break through [-] million box office at a rate of nearly [-] million a day.

And after the end of the week, the first-week box office of "Heart Blossoms" was finally fixed at 6.02 million yuan!

This achievement has created a record for the first week box office of a domestic film without any suspense, and directly increased the previous record holder "Interstellar"'s 4.22 million first week box office by nearly 2 million yuan.

At the same time, 6.02 million yuan is also the second highest box office in the history of mainland movies, second only to "Transformers 4"'s 6.28 million first-week box office.

In addition, the 6.02 million yuan of "Heart Blossoms", directly surpassed the 6 million yuan of the previous highest-grossing film "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of God" in the history of the National Day file, and it has been crowned as the king of the National Day single-film box office in just one week.

This result shocked the mainland film industry. No one expected that the box office of "Heart Blossoms" would be so strong in the first week.

Even though everyone already had high expectations for Ning Hao, countless people's jaws dropped this first week.

Ning Hao himself felt unbelievable, the only thing that came to his mind was Chen Hao's words "One billion!"

Thinking about it now, Chen Hao is simply amazing, especially when it comes to the box office of a movie, he is very sure. He can give a rough estimate of the box office after only watching it once, which is really amazing.

No wonder, Chen Hao can become the number one business leader!

However, the hottest one now is not Chen Hao, but Ning Hao, because judging from the box office of the first week of "Heart Blossoms", its final box office is likely to exceed 10 billion yuan!

Then Ning Hao will become the second director in the mainland and the third director in China to break 2 billion at the box office!
What's more, it advocates that "Heart Flower Road Fang" can kill "Transformers 4" and regain China's own film history box office champion!
Because the box office of "Heart Blossoms" in the first week is not much different from that of "Transformers 4", and "Heart Blossoms" has an advantage, that is, its release time will definitely be longer than "Transformers 4".

If the box office curve can be maintained, then it is not impossible.

This kind of statement has attracted the attention of many people, but some rational people think that there is little hope, because this kind of statement is too idealistic.

The fact is also that in the second week of its release, "Heart Blossoms on the Road" still won the weekly box office champion with 3.02 million yuan, but this box office result is far behind the 4 million yuan of "Transformers 7.46" in the second week.

At the same time, the Marvel superhero blockbuster "Guardians of the Galaxy" will be released next, and it is impossible for "Flowering Heart" to kill "Transformers 4".

But even so, the cumulative box office of "Heart Blossoms on the Road" has reached 9.04 million yuan, and Ning Hao has become the second director in the Mainland and the third director in China to break the 2 billion box office.

As a result, Ning Hao's reputation and status in the industry soared rapidly, and the major giants were also ready to move.

However, Ning Hao and Chen Hao have been brothers for more than ten years, and the relationship has always been very good. Ning Hao is also the second natural person shareholder of Haotian Films, and his interests are closely tied.

After so many years, after Ning Hao became famous, no one tried to poach Ning Hao, but they all ended in failure.

It is really not easy to dig into Chen Hao's wall.

However, facing the temptation of huge profits, many people still want to give it a try. After all, a movie can earn hundreds of millions in at most half a year, and it is reasonable and legal.

This kind of business is simply too enviable!
Money can turn ghosts around, for the sake of huge benefits, you have to try it anyway.

……

While "Beautiful Heart" sweeps the National Day files in the Mainland, the North American film market welcomes the fourth film of Liangtianchi Films this year. James Wen is the producer of the new thriller "Annabelle".

North American weekend box office list (2014.10.3-2014.10.5):
No. 1, "Gone Girl", weekend box office of 3800 million US dollars, 20th Century Fox, cumulative box office of 3800 million US dollars, 3014 theaters, investment cost of 6100 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Annabelle", with a weekend box office of 3720 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 3720 million U.S. dollars, a scale of 3185 theaters, and an investment cost of 650 million U.S. dollars;
No. 3, "The Emancipator", with a weekend box office of 1900 million US dollars, Sony, with a cumulative box office of 6450 million US dollars, and a scale of 3226 theaters, a decrease of 44.3% year-on-year, with an investment cost of 5500 million US dollars;
……

"Gone Girl", which brings together big-name stars such as David Fincher and Ben Affleck, and "Annabelle", known as "the prequel of "The Conjuring", have been lingering last week, playing almost every day for three days on weekends. A tie.

In the end, "Gone Girl" still topped the list with a slight advantage of 80 US dollars, but the two films have clearly reached a win-win situation.

The selling point of "Annabelle" is obviously very single. Logically speaking, the haunted doll "Annabelle" was used as a meme by "The Conjuring", and "The Conjuring" was used as a meme by "Annabelle".

It is obviously a disadvantage to be stereotyped as a "prequel" or even a "side-off" from the beginning of the project's establishment. The opening box office of 3720 million is also lower than "The Conjuring" (4190 million) and "Yinerfang 2" (4030 million).

However, as the "black hands" behind the scenes, both Tianchi and James Wen are the winners, and James Wen's decision to fade out of the horror film industry also made the audience look forward to it even more, even though he has already taken the post of producer.

From the perspective of box office statistics, the single-day revenue of "Annabelle" on Friday accounted for 42% of the total box office for the three days of the weekend, compared with more than 50% of the "Supernatural Phenomena" series and "Yinerfang" series, which is undoubtedly This is a good sign, indicating that the film's stamina is stronger.

Although due to the limitation of horror themes, this film cannot be sold as long as "Gone Girl", but it still has the possibility of breaking through 8000 million US dollars.

The comprehensive media rating of "Annabelle" is 38 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 31%. 23 people voted for freshness, 51 voted for Rotten Tomatoes, and the CinemaScore score is B.

It was originally positioned as a prequel to "The Conjuring", but because the horror master Wan Ziren quit the horror film industry and turned to create "Fast and Furious 7", it was handed over to "The Conjuring" photographer John-R-Leonardi to create, and the reviews were average.

"Annabelle does enough "little tricks" to create a creepy effect that makes it more satisfying than its predecessor, The Conjuring!"

"Compared to the chaos of "The Conjuring", "Annabelle" is much better in terms of setting up the thriller scenes!"

"Although the film has a brave heroine, "Annabelle" still follows the "medieval" attitude of "The Conjuring" and strives to create an extremely self-sacrificing mother!"

"The thriller setting is loose, but they're junk food at best in this film!"

"From a production point of view, this film is definitely a craft level, but its inner story clues are not enough to support it all!"

"This style of the 60s can no longer bring more surprises, similar ghost stories have been adapted many times into "Howl" and "The Conjuring".

But what it lacks in originality it makes up for in plenty of thrilling settings, watching this movie will definitely make you scream like a little girl! "

"Sadly, Annabelle ends up being a cheap, crappy, low-budget predecessor just to explain the doll's origins, and it's unbearably mediocre and uninteresting!"

……

The reputation of "Annabelle" is not good, and it is obviously far from "The Conjuring", but it expands the universe of "The Conjuring" and lays the foundation for Wen Ziren's horror universe.

In addition, although "Annabelle" was not as good as "The Conjuring" and "Yinerfang 2" in its first week, it still had a full opening score of 3720 million US dollars.

The production cost of "Annabelle" was only 650 million US dollars, and Liang Tianchi Pictures obviously wanted to make another fortune.

At the same time, judging from this investment-output ratio, "Annabelle 2" must be done.

……

On October 2014, 10, the peak night of the finals of the popular "The Voice of China 7" was officially sung in the imperial capital.

After three rounds of fierce competition, Zhang Bicheng finally won the championship of "The Voice of China 3".

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Bicheng was favored by Huo Shaowen and successfully signed to Haotian Music, becoming the fourth singer under Haotian Music at this time.

《华夏好声音3》总决赛的平均收视达到了CSM50城5.613%，成功破5，收视峰值更是高达6.511%。

This ratings score successfully broke the highest ratings peak of "The Voice of China 1" at 6.101%, creating a new ratings record!

Haotian Production and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV were pleasantly surprised by such a high ratings result.

Originally, it was hard to avoid the aesthetic fatigue of the third season, but the real-time ratings show the audience's loyalty and love for this show.

This also pleased Haotian Production and prepared to start the preparations for the fourth season.

And "The Voice of China 4" should also be the last season of "The Voice of China" produced by Haotian.

For the fourth season, both the industry and Haotian Productions predict that the ratings will decline, and more importantly, the copyright period of Haotian Productions has expired.

If they want to continue producing the fifth season, then Haotian Productions will have to buy the copyright again.

However, given the popularity of "The Voice of China" in the mainland, Haotian Production must pay a sky-high price if it wants to renew its contract.

But 4 seasons have already been aired, and the value and freshness of the program are no longer as good as before. Haotian Productions thinks that the loss outweighs the gain, so it decides not to renew the contract.

However, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV should not let go of this opportunity. As a TV station, it obviously has much more background in production than Haotian.

Moreover, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV has already tasted the sweetness brought by "The Voice of China", and will not give up easily, and will definitely try its best to win the copyright.

This is also the reason why Haotian Production does not renew the copyright contract. It is too difficult to compete with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, and it may damage the close cooperation relationship between them. It is better to withdraw in time.

After all, Haotian's production is not limited to "The Voice of China".

It also has two seasons of "I Am a Singer", and "Run, Brother" with huge investment and high expectations. Next year, Haotian Productions will also launch two "Happy Comedian" and "Extreme Challenge". Variety show.

The four variety shows have already allowed Haotian Productions to run at full capacity, and no amount of Haotian Productions will be able to keep busy.

The end of "The Voice of China 3" made many fans feel sorry, but soon they were attracted by "Run, Brother".

Haotian Production and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Satellite TV took great pains to promote this reality show variety show.

After all, Haotian invested 2 million yuan in production costs in the early stage of production, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV also took this variety show seriously, even more than "The Voice of China".

Because Haotian Productions claimed that this variety show will completely detonate the mainland reality show market and become a national-level super variety show.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV is not being fooled casually, but from Haotian Production's investment, lineup and emphasis, it can be seen that Haotian Production attaches great importance to this variety show.

In addition, I also learned that this variety show is a remake of the popular "Running Man" in Asia, and it does have the potential to become a hit.

As for the lineup, it should not be underestimated. The seven players are Deng Chao, Jin Song, Xiao Di, Chen He, Sha Yi, Xue Qian and Wang Baobao.

Needless to say, Deng Chao, the Mesozoic generation in the Mainland represents the niche, but his personality is very middle school, and he is also the most famous player in the team. He is very strong in funny, physical fitness and other aspects, and is the captain of the team.

Jin Song, who played the role of Hua Monk Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin", is 1 meters tall and very burly. In addition to muscles, he is very muscular. He especially loves fitness. He is a national athlete and a capable person in the team.

With Jin Song's body, he has an advantage over "Running Man"'s ability man Kim Jong Kook.

Xiaodi, Xiaohua of the new generation, as the only female, is naturally the favorite of the group.

Chen He, a funny genius, emoticon pack, is really serious about being funny!
Sha Yi, a former military art school grass, but the character is old and frail, and is bullied.

Before Xue, he is responsible for being funny, the joker, and the king of jokes!
Baby Wang has a unique appearance. In addition, the baby is good at martial arts, no one can stop him!
On October 2014, 10, the large-scale reality show variety show in the Mainland, the future national variety show "Run, Brother" officially started!
