Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 509
"Operation Mekong" became popular before it was released.

While the major film and television companies were moved with emotion, they also cast their eyes on watching the show, wondering how China Film will face it.

Will Mr. Han and Mr. Zhang Hongsen get furious and fight with Hengyu and Bona?

As for the winners and losers of the two sides, it is best to lose both sides, and go to the street together.

unfortunately
They think too much.

This time, China Film Group did not say anything, and continued to promote "Avengers 2" without any haste, not worrying that "Operation Mekong" would pose a threat to the imported films released in June.

Especially Zhang Hongsen laughed loudly when he heard the news, and said to his subordinates: Fang Ziheng is so young, why Yu Dong also went crazy.

It is true that the five imported films are made of mud!

With five movies under siege, even if "Operation Mekong" can hit, the box office will not be much higher.

This move, Fang Ziheng really narrowed it down!

There are not a few people who expressed the same idea, among them are well-known and active directors such as Feng Kuantao, Chen Daren, and Jia Zhangke.

The crew of "Old Paoer".

Feng Pants finished shooting a few sets of shots, took the water glass sent by his assistant, and came to the monitor to review the pictures.

While checking, he smiled at the director of "Old Paoer" and said, ""Operation Mekong" is up for release, should we also mention the film to be released on National Day?"

"Don't, don't!"

Guan Hua was taken aback, stretched out his hand to stop Feng's trousers, shook his head and said: "The reason for raising the file is to pursue popularity and create a publicity hot spot. If we have a good schedule, don't choose it, and go to the National Day file to play ball!"

"Besides, "Old Paoer" is not the kind of popular comedy or cool drama, it's better to be steady."

Hearing this, Feng Pengtong nodded slightly, secretly cursing that he was infected by Fang Ziheng and almost fell into the pit.

He sat down on the chair next to the monitor, unscrewed the water glass, took two sips, and smiled to himself.

"This time, Fang Ziheng miscalculated."

"It is indeed a good way to promote a movie by raising files, but "Operation Mekong" will not be easy in the face of the encirclement and suppression of five imported films.

Of the five movies, as long as one hits one billion, or two small hits hit seven or eight billion, "Operation Mekong" will be difficult! "

"Haha, he is different from us now. He is not only a great director, but also the helmsman of a multi-billion dollar entertainment empire. To him, losing a movie is nothing!"

Guan Hu laughed, and he was not optimistic about "Operation Mekong" inside and outside the words, and it was a bit sour.

Feng Trousers touched his swollen beard, and said in a concentrated voice: "I also want to know how good Fang Ziheng's eyesight is, and he dares to face five imported films of hard steel, hehe, as long as "Avengers 2" released tomorrow does not If it explodes, then one of the next five imported films must have a potential hit!"

These words express the sentiments of most filmmakers in the industry.

The big guys can analyze the risk of "Operation Mekong" being filed on May 5 using only probability statistics.

Early morning of May 5rd.

"The Avengers 2" officially entered theaters across the country, marking the second shot for China Film Corporation to sprint for listing.

The movie is 140 minutes long, from the beginning to the end, the IMAX special effects are really shocking.

In addition, this is not a standard popcorn movie. The theme is more profound, the universe is more grand, and a lot of sci-fi stuff has been added.

In terms of word of mouth, it is not much better than "Transformers 4".

As the sequel to the world's most popular superhero series, "Avengers 2", the film's box office did not disappoint China Film, and even far exceeded the expectations of Han Dong, Zhang Hongsen and others.

3200 million at zero block, 12 million on the 1.92th, 2.24 million box office on the first day!
It reached the top of the single-day box office list with overwhelming momentum, and there were as many as 7560 screenings at midnight at midnight, second only to "Speed ​​7", which was released not long ago.

The brilliant record once again shocked the mainland film circle.

People in the circle are not fools, and there are many smart people among them.

Judging from the current film schedule of "Reunion 2" and the first-day box office on weekdays, the single-day box office will continue to rise in the next few days and achieve a reverse decline.

According to feedback from various parties, the pre-sales of IMAX theaters in various places are surprisingly hot, and this has led to an increase in the pre-sale box office on Saturdays and Sundays.

The fact is indeed as everyone predicted.

After the first day.

On Wednesday, the single-day box office was 1.25 million. Although it exceeded 7000 million, it was a full [-] million less than the first day.

On Thursday, the box office trend fell again, and it only got 9200 million in a single day.

Diving for two consecutive days, the popularity of the movie has not diminished at all, and then it ushered in a bottoming out.

On Friday, the word-of-mouth of "Avengers 2" opened. With the full support of the national theaters, it once again raked in 60.1 million with 1.26% of the film schedule, tying the 1.25 million score of the second day.

And the arrival of Saturday brought a pair of flying wings to "Avengers 2".

The single-day box office rose to 2.4 million, surpassing the 2.24 million on the first day, achieving a real reverse decline.

This is not over yet, and then on Sunday, the word-of-mouth of the movie began to spread, and the single-day box office was a perfect 1.7 million.

In the six days of the first weekend, the total box office was 9.77 million!
The terrifying box office trend is only 2300 million away from reaching the 10 billion club.

The media and the audience who like to watch Hollywood blockbusters are once again in a state of excitement, crazily boasting about "Avengers 2".

Especially those who look down on domestic films, although they did not scold the major film and television companies like "Speed ​​7", they still persist in domestic films, thinking that domestic films are really over.

And more domestic film lovers are clenching their fists while looking forward to the release time of "Operation Mekong".

Time flies by.

5 month 25 number.

Hengyu Cinema Line International Cinema, Dongzhimen, the imperial capital, is crowded with people from [-]:[-] p.m.

On the square outside the movie theater, red flags were fluttering and colorful flags were flying.

A large group of spectators with tickets came to the first-day ceremony of "Operation Mekong", chatting and laughing while waiting.

"It's finally started, I really want to see the counterattack of domestic movies sooner!"

"It's coming soon. Since Fang Ziheng dared to move "Operation Mekong" ahead of schedule, he must have enough confidence in the movie."

"That's right, if you don't tell me, Fang Laoliu is definitely a master when it comes to movies. His vision is unmistakable!"

"...Speaking of which, I thought "Avengers 2" was so awesome. It was only 3.7 million in the second week, which is not very good!"

"Haha... To be honest, the 9.77 million in the first week really shocked me. I was afraid that there would be another "Fast 7", but I didn't expect that it would be cut in half in the second week!"

"In that case, the five imported films that will be released in the next few days are nothing to worry about!"

"Not necessarily, it still depends on the box office on the first day, but the probability of another "Fast 7" is almost zero."

"Why do you think so much, support "Operation Mekong" is over!"

"Yes, have you seen the trailer? The special team goes straight to the Golden Triangle. It's a blast!"

"I watched it too. Gao Gang played by Liu Ye is simply not too majestic!"

"Hey, there are plots about the Golden Triangle every year in Hong Kong Island police and gangster movies, but there is no movie whose male lead can take advantage of the Golden Triangle."

"Yes, in Uncle Long's "Police Story: Super Cop", the characters in the play seem to have made a big fuss in the Golden Triangle."

"Two different things. They are Du Xiao vs. Du Xiao, and Uncle Long and Yang Ziqiong are undercover agents inside."

The chattering discussions added endless popularity to the studio.

As time went on, batch after batch of guests came in costumes, and the audience walked into the screening hall with tickets from another channel.

Backstage Lounge No.[-].

Fang Ziheng ate a bowl of rice noodles to fill his stomach and introduced several important guests into the lounge.

Tonight, he and Yu Dong will greet them personally, divided into two groups, Yu Dong is outside and he is inside.

"Come on, everyone, let's sit down and talk."

Standing tall, Fang Ziheng greeted Chen Yu, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Song Ge, Chen Wu, Moying Renzhong, Huaying Fu Ruoqing, and Deputy Director Li of Baoli Group in charge of cultural industries with a smile on his face.

It's also funny to say.

Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and others came here today not only to support "Operation Mekong" and express their support for domestic films, but also to meet Fang Ziheng in person and ask their opinions on Hollywood films.

Well, there are other crooked ideas!
As soon as they sat down, the two looked at each other, and cupped their hands at Chen Yu, the representative of Zhongying, expressing that there was no malice.

Then, the two looked at Fang Ziheng again, and Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi, spoke first.

"Director Fang, the current situation is difficult to handle. The summer season hasn't even started yet, but Hollywood blockbusters are hitting the market one after another.

《速度7》破25亿，《复仇者联盟2》眼看也要破15亿，算上6月10号上映《侏罗纪世界》，接来半个月还有六部进口片上映。

With so many blockbusters gathered together, it’s nothing to say that the wolf is coming. Our domestic film market has finally improved a bit. After this bombing, don’t go back to the pre-liberation and work hard to give wedding dresses to outsiders! "

There was a bit of sadness in Wang Zhongjun's words, I don't know if he thought he was worried about the prospect of domestic films.

Then, Wang Changtian also opened his mouth quietly, and said with a calm face: "In the first half of this year, apart from "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it can be said that the world is dominated by Hollywood blockbusters, especially "Speed ​​7", which sold nearly 26 billion. This box office, yes The annual champion has an incomparably huge impact!"

"Domestic movies are still weaker!"

Ugh..
After finishing speaking, Wang Changtian and Wang Zhongjun both sighed.

This sigh made Chen Yu's heart tremble while listening.

Nima
You two bastards, if you want to talk about China Film, just say it, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, is it interesting?

Chen Yu glanced at Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian, but said nothing, but the warning in his eyes was very obvious.

What's the point of playing tricks in front of me? If you have the ability, come to China Film and Television and tell Director Han in front of him.

Afterwards, Chen Yu looked at Ren Zhong and Fu Ruoqing where the old god was present, and let out a soft snort.

The two old guys are quite good at playing, so they asked two of them to come over to help.

Song Ge from Wanda Pictures, Vice-Director Li from Baoli, and Chen Wu from Tengxun Pictures smiled lightly and ignored their criticisms.

They looked at Fang Ziheng, waiting for his opinion.

Fang Ziheng lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "China Film Group will be listed soon, and it is inevitable to make a breakthrough. The two directors don't need to worry too much."

What he said was very straightforward, and he directly pointed out the reason why there were so many imported films during this period!

In his heart, he yelled at Wang Zhongjun and Wang Chang!
Your sister still wants to drag me into the pit!

Huayi, there are no movies released, so you two should stop crying and pretending to be merciful.

While complaining, he also looked at Ren Zhong and Fu Ruoqing, and cursed secretly again.

All right, don't pretend so much.

You can tell at a glance that it's the two of you playing tricks behind the scenes.

After complaining.

Fang Ziheng changed the subject, and continued: "It's still the same sentence, records are meant to be broken, and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has a box office of 30 billion. Whoever has the ability just go up and overthrow it. Someone on our side not only There will be no half-complaints, but clapping and congratulations."

"Yes, what Fang Dong said makes sense."

Chen Yu nodded again and again, and answered with a smile: "Under the laws of the market, any industry is moving forward, and there will be no long-term record. "Speed ​​​​7" has now won more than 25 billion at the box office, which seems very high. , but only a little more than "Tang Detective 2" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

The two Wang directors were so worried, how did they know that there would be no big hit domestic movie coming out to save the world, and once again remake "Speed ​​7"! "

After hearing these words, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian's eyelids jumped, and they wanted to give Chen Yu a thumbs up on the spot.

If they knew that there was a blockbuster movie, they would have invested in it long ago, so why would they be hypocritical here.

Ren Zhong, Fu Ruoqing, Song Ge, and Chen Wu were also lost in thought, their expressions gradually becoming indifferent.

The film industry is high risk and high crisis.

It seems that the domestic film market is constantly expanding, and the potential seems to be endless. The market value and valuation of major film companies have risen again and again.

But... you have to have a good work to cover the bottom line!
Originally, there was only one company, Hengyu Media, which was superior. Although everyone was envious, they didn't feel too much pressure.

Fang Ziheng is not a person who eats alone, everyone cooperates from time to time to share a piece of fat, which is very enjoyable.

Moreover, Hengyu Media relies on its solid production ability to monopolize the coquettishness of the mainland film market. Wang Zhongjun and the others can't be jealous if they want to.

Hengyu is there, everyone can learn from it and imitate it!
But the situation is different now. China Film Group has suddenly exploded, using imported films to increase market share and indirectly suppress domestic films.

You said that you are going public, who would believe it!

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality!

Rather than complaining about "Operation Mekong", everyone is sad because they don't have it.

They are not worried that there is no market, but that they are worried about the uneven distribution after there is a market.

Apart from the Hengyu family, other film and television companies, including China Film, Moying, and Huaying Group, hardly have the confidence to produce a movie.

It can only be defined and analyzed from the script, director, and actors!

Unlike Hengyu Media, the production method is completely industrialized, and it can continue to create high-quality content for a long time.

In this case, everyone is the same and has similar abilities, so why can China Film Group have the rights to import films?

It’s not counted, you f*ck get together to make trouble.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhongying and Fu Ruoqing's behavior in the past two months was really too much, especially Ren Zhong and Fu Ruoqing.

They are all enterprises that lead the country, why!

The lounge was completely silent for a while, the atmosphere gradually solidified, and the faces of several people were so beautiful.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Dong pushed the door open and came in, cheerfully cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, it's almost time, let's go out to watch the ceremony together."

call…

As soon as Yu Dong came, he immediately broke the dignified atmosphere, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces again.

Fang Ziheng took a look and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What a comparison!

These guys, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, even want to borrow him to engage in China Film, what are they thinking.

They don't think that "Operation Mekong" chose to premiere today to compete with China Film Group, right?
