Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 428

The market in the first half of this year is not ideal, especially in May.

If it weren't for the emergence of "Looking for the Dragon Jue" and the counterattack to save the market, there may be a possibility of a decline in May.

However, in any market environment, it is impossible to always count on dark horses to rescue the market. First, dark horses do not always exist, especially "Looking for the Dragon", which is once in many years. Secondly, the mainstream ticket holders are still more inclined to consumer business. Blockbuster movies, if there are no blockbuster movies for a long time during the schedule, the audience will be unbalanced.

In the eyes of many people.

After the Disney & Marvel film "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" hit the street first, Disney's heavy artillery "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" will be ushered in again. This super IP has phenomenal influence, no matter its quality is good or not. Bad, it will definitely rule the big screens in the mainland.

This phenomenal series returns after a lapse of six years.

It’s just that they forget one thing, that is, today’s world is no longer what it used to be. The mainland market has undergone tremendous changes in the past six years, and the mainstream audience has almost changed. Very pessimistic.

It can be seen from the audience's expectations.

Although there are more than 1000 million expectations, it ranks sixth.

There are now a total of six blockbuster films in the summer file.

But it ranked last, which is enough to show that this movie is not particularly optimistic in China.

Speaking of Pirates 5, there is one person I have to mention.

Jerry Brook,
People who are familiar with Hollywood must be well-known. As the most powerful producer in Hollywood, he once "stepped on" Spielberg and Tom in 2003 and became No.1 in the Hollywood Power List, described by "Entertainment Weekly" Bruckheimer has become a brand.

"Pearl Harbor", "Top Gun", "Prison in the Air", "Black Hawk Project", "The End of the World" and many other classic movies are all produced by him. Today's super IP "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is also created by him. Bruckheimer has almost become the endorsement of business and blockbusters.

After the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, the series changed directors, causing the fourth part to fall far short of expectations. Although the final global box office exceeded 10 billion US dollars, word-of-mouth reached a new low, and there were serious problems with the script.

That's why it's been so long since Part [-].

Of course, the most important reason for the delay in the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" was also the turning point when Bruckheimer and Disney parted ways. The huge western epic created by the original crew finally ended with a loss of 2013 million US dollars, becoming one of the few missed works of Disney.

Even the world's most influential filmmaker faced huge losses, which eventually led to Bruckheimer's dismissal, which indirectly led to the continuous postponement of "Pirates of the Caribbean 5".

Today, Bruckheimer has returned to people's attention with the latest "Pirates of the Caribbean 5".

"Pirates of the Caribbean 5" has more than 80 people wanting to watch it.

Judging from the appeal of the entire series, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series seems to be the top phenomenon-level work. It has been 2003 years since the first one in 14, and the box office of nearly 38 billion ugly gold worldwide has accumulated a large audience. , has a very high mass base, especially at the level of passers-by, and its awareness is unmatched.

But it still needs to return to the most important proposition, that is, how to convert the recognition of this volume into box office, which requires high-quality word-of-mouth to promote.

In the mainland, the previous trilogy has a long history. The most recent "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" earned 2011 million box office in 4.7, second only to "Transformers 3".Ranked third in the annual account distribution, its appeal can be seen.

Although there are a lot of voices in the early stage to prove that "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" is warming up.

Can return to the quality level of the trilogy.

But under such circumstances, everyone knows that the recovery process will not be very optimistic.

Lu Chen also believed that it would be soon.

It will be severely slapped in the face by reality. In Lu Chen's opinion, this movie can be said to be an out-and-out bad movie, far inferior to the trilogy, and can only be tied with the fourth movie, except for the feelings There are no more cards to play.

Once the word-of-mouth collapses, no matter how strong the popularity and index are, the audience will change their viewing choices as soon as possible.

It is obviously a great pity that the audience has not waited for the perfect coquettish captain in their hearts after six years of waiting.

market.

There is a high probability that North America does not have any expectations. Their expectations are at home and in other countries.

Of course, the most important thing is in China.

therefore.

As long as they hold on.

The collapse of this movie is definitely a high probability event.

There are two more works of powerful directors in the summer file, which has advantages and disadvantages.

It is more likely that the benefits will be reflected in the losses of the three Hollywood works. As for the disadvantages, there is a high probability that it will pull everyone together.

Lu Chen had some doubts, did the Big Six have calculated that the three films they arranged would be lost in the hands of Lu Chen, so they arranged two local films on Huaguo's side,
Mix this water up.

This may not be the case.

When the water is muddy, they can fish in troubled waters. If the three works fail by then.

There is something to say.

For Lu Chen, it became more difficult to sweep the entire schedule, and it became blurred from the previous certainty.

This made Lu Chen's attitude towards the two entertainment companies even worse. Since it's all about hands, don't blame him.

I will die for my grandfather.

The kind that no one can save, Lu Chen said.

Soon, a big event happened in the entertainment industry.

The artists of Jiaxing Media suddenly became very active.

Within a few days, all the announcements of artists under Huasheng Films and Xindu Films had problems, and the reason was very simple.

They were all robbed by the artists of Jiaxing Media, and Lu Chen didn't intend to hide them, and directly pointed them out.

I made it, if you have the ability to hit me.

Artists rush to announce.

for example.An artist under Huasheng Films wanted to appear on a variety show, but it was short of an official announcement, but was directly robbed by an artist under Jiaxing Media.

For another example, a certain artist from Xindu Pictures had already accepted a play outside.It has been officially announced.In the end, Zeng Lai took the artists under him to rob him.

Tell the director directly, choose whatever you want.

In addition, there are also endorsements. The only first-line artist under Huasheng Pictures originally endorsed a certain product under an international cosmetics brand, but was suddenly told that the candidate for the endorsement needs to be re-selected...

Almost didn't say it directly.

Duan Qiu from Jiaxing Media cut off his beard.

Although these things are very common in the entertainment industry, Huasheng Films and Xindu Films have such frequent problems that everyone knows that Jiaxing Media has taken action against them.

Lu Chen was angry.

Jiaxing Media, which seldom made a move, made a shocking move this time.

Killed the two entertainment companies directly.

"How dare Lu Chen?"

Chen Zhong, the boss of Huasheng Pictures, was stunned when he heard the news. He was planning to suppress them from all aspects.

"How dare they..."

The vice president at the side shook his head and said, "He is an existence that the six major Hollywood companies must suppress. Why would he not dare?"

"What about the Big Five?" Chen Zhong asked.

"The Big Five won't make a move," the vice president squinted his eyes, shook his head and said, "Our move is really wrong. We all underestimated Jiaxing Media's reaction. No one thought Jiaxing Media would be so ruthless. This is the rhythm ready to beat us to death."

"Our face is considered big."

Chen Zhong sneered and said, "Unexpectedly, Lu Chen would still want to provoke us when the Sixth University has already made a move. He is really not afraid of death."

"He is afraid of death but not death, I don't know, but I know, we are probably going to die?" The vice president sighed and said: "If Lu Chen was forced to retreat by the Hollywood Six, then we are Chinese movies. Also, do you think Lu Chen, who came back unharmed, will let us go?"

Chen Zhong was silent for a moment.

Jiaxing Media is too strong, and it is because of being so strong that existences as strong as the Big Six in Hollywood have chosen to join forces, and they are now.

But he chose to stand opposite Jiaxing Media.

In the end, Chen Zhong said: "First appease the artists, we can't fight back against Jiaxing Media yet, Jiaxing Media should just warn, and definitely won't keep targeting us, it's very unnecessary for them. "

"But the problem has to be solved after all." The vice president shook his head. He really couldn't figure out why the boss made such a decision. Looking at Chen Zhong, he said, "Why don't we just mess around? It might be our The only option is..."

"Withdrawal, you can really figure it out." Chen Zhong mocked mercilessly.

"I know what you're thinking. You must be thinking of cooperating with the Big Five to fight against Jiaxing Media," the vice president said, "The idea is very good, but why did the Big Five join forces with us to deal with Jiaxing Media? What do we have? Can the hole cards convince them to join forces with us? This is the first point.

Second, are you sure we can beat Jiaxing Media together?Jiaxing Media's development model is different from ours.They don't depend on anyone, on the contrary, many entertainment companies depend on them to survive. "

Chen Zhong was silent, he was not a fool, but he underestimated the relatively low-key Jiaxing Media too much.

In fact, they have no choice now.

Withdrawing the file and apologizing is the only way out.

Again, if it is because of the participation of the two of them, Lu Chen's plan will be ruined.

Then the two of them don't need to exist anymore, Lu Chen said.

It doesn't matter who comes.

……

online,
Regarding the conflict between Jiaxing Media, Huasheng Films, and Xindu Films, there were not too many disturbances.

Ordinary audiences rarely pay attention to these, and those who pay attention to these are basically professionals in the industry.

than focus on these.

Netizens prefer to focus on upcoming movies.

The four words "fairy fighting" appeared quite frequently during this period.

It is indeed a fairy tale.

Netizens who don't know the truth thought it was East VS West.

Three directors from the East VS three directors from the West, such a title directly detonated the entire Internet.

Actually, this is not the case.

Still Lu Chen 1V3.

Those two couldn't go out, they could only fight at home, that's why Lu Chen was so angry.

It is purely to increase the difficulty for him.

Their joining directly wiped out Lu Chen's record of wanting to kill these three blockbuster movies in China alone.
Yes, gone.

Even if they win, the netizens will share part of the record with those two.

Even if Lu Chen continued to take the lead.

didn't work either.

However, there is one thing,
Because of the joining of the two, the whole summer file was indeed quite lively.

On the Internet, all major post bars, forums, and even Weibo circles of friends are discussing the upcoming prosperity of this year's summer film, and this kind of excitement is probably something that those who advocate the investigation of summer film expectations did not expect.

"The gods fight."

"The rhythm of mortal retreat."

"This time, Lu Chen is no longer a lonely hero."

"I didn't expect that two powerful directors took the initiative to participate in this year's summer vacation."

"No longer a lonely hero, hehe, Lu Chen wants to beat them to death. These two shameless guys are definitely here to grab credit. If you want to fight, why did you go?"

"?? Upstairs, what does this mean?"

"It means that these two shameless guys have seen the possibility that Lu Shen can kill those three movies, so they want to join in stealing Lu Shen's limelight."

"Wait, wouldn't it be a good thing to have more teammates?"

"What a fart, it's almost the same if there are two more oil bottles. Can the works of the two of them go to sea? No, it can only be released in China, and only in China. It will definitely snatch "Jurassic Park" In terms of market share, once it grabs the market share of "Jurassic Park", how can "Jurassic Park" hit the highest ranking in film history?"

"Made, you two shameless people, get lost!"

"I thought Lu Shen was no longer that lonely hero this time, who knows... the reality is actually like this."

"There's no need to doubt. These two old shameless people only announced the news of joining the schedule at this time. Obviously, they are here to grab credit."

"Go away..."

Although netizens don't care much about these things anymore, there are still many netizens who will pay attention.

Of course, only a small part.

One time
There is a lot of discussion online.

There is also a lot of discussion in the industry,
The media also reported one after another.

Faced with such a situation, the two directors also came out to explain. At this point, they would definitely not retreat. If they did, what would they do in the future?
How to mix?
Lu Chen will tell them that they don't need to mess around anymore, this is the judgment given by Lu Chen after watching their interviews.

Lu Chen's original plan was to challenge Kashen with a wave of momentum.

One hit three wins.

Under this wave of majestic momentum, Kashen must be inevitable.

Can only fight.

definitely.

Such a big victory is enough for Lu Chen to surpass all directors in Hollywood except Kashen.

Simply put.

Others are no longer qualified to fight him, and the only one who can fight him is Kashen.

At that time, Kashen will have no choice but to fight, and he will fight even if he bites the bullet.

As for choosing to avoid war, that goes without saying.

Surrendered without a fight, and the title of "King of the World" has since changed hands.

No one thought of it.

At this time, two shameless people were killed halfway.

Even if Lu Chen still wins, the momentum he can hold will not be as majestic as imagined.

What should I do if Kashen refuses because of lack of momentum?
Salad.

Therefore, Lu Chen has already arranged a way out for the two directors.

These two had better retire after this campaign, otherwise, the rest of their lives would be at stake.

What Lu Chen said.
