Chapter 190 The boss and the second child fought, and the third child died first!
Time flies by quickly, and it is already the end of June, which means that 6 is about to pass halfway, and students are about to face the stressful final exams, college entrance examinations, and summer vacation.

The film industry will also usher in a summer season of blockbuster films. Domestic films are gathering in this month, and they have released all their schedules, seemingly deliberately avoiding the edge of foreign blockbusters.

On June 6, "Painted Skin 28" premiered.

As another masterpiece of the Wang brothers after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in 2012, "Painted Skin 2" has gone through various hardships and is finally about to be released to the audience for review. The original cast members such as Chen Kun, Zhao Yanzi, and Zhou Xun are all Return, with a total investment of 1.5 million.

After spending so much money, of course it must be well publicized. A large-scale premiere cannot be deducted, and many guests must be invited.However, it was a bit embarrassing. Of the three leading actors, only Chen Kun appeared.

In this life, Chen Kun was actually quite miserable. The most important role in his acting career, Jin Yanxi in "The Golden Family", was intercepted by Gu Zhongyu, and "Famous Flower Drum" was also robbed. Although he also acted in some other works later, But the popularity and influence are still not as good as in previous lives.

Normally, if only two of the three leading actors can appear at the premiere of a movie, there must be something wrong!

When "Painted Skin 2" was being filmed, there were constant rumors that Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun were at odds over their roles.

There is a saying in the industry that there is no airtight wall in the world. If it sounds ridiculous to you, it might be true!

This time, neither of them came to the premiere. Something must have happened.Although the film crew later explained that Zhou Xun was busy attending a United Nations environmental conference in Brazil, while Zhao Yanzi had to prepare for a thesis defense and could not come.

What a far-fetched reason!

Since the two female leads couldn't be invited, Wang Zhonglei planned to let Yang Mi, who was originally just a supporting role, show her face to support the scene.

Since last year, Yang Mi's career has been soaring like a rocket. After "Palace Lock Heart Jade" became a hit, the movie "Ball Lightning" she starred in won the Grand Prix at Cannes. It can be said that the limelight is unparalleled. Please support her. The effect can't be better than that of the two female leads.

In response to this, Yang Mi's response was: There are countless lickers, I have read it and will not reply!
Yes, she directly ignored the invitation from the Wang brothers. The conflict between Gu Zhongyu and the Wang brothers had been going on for a long time, and she naturally knew about it. But in the past, she had just pretended to be stupid, trying to please both sides without offending anyone.

But now her relationship with Gu Zhongyu has reached this point, and Jiaxing, which he founded, has also invited him to join, so now the two are deeply bound from love to career, and she naturally has to choose sides. .

Not to mention the premiere on the platform, he was not even willing to interact on Weibo, just pretending that he had never acted in this drama.

If the premiere was just deserted, it would actually be nothing. But at this time, the previous lawsuit with Zhou Xingxing had just ended.

Not surprisingly, Zhou Xingxing lost the lawsuit. He did not get back the 8160 million yuan in dividends and had to bear all the litigation costs.

But the matter did not end there. Since Zhou Xingxing had already established a cooperative relationship with Zongheng, how could such a hot event that could hit his opponents be let go?

Next, countless media reporters and big Vs started reporting on this matter. Zhou Xingxing, who has always been taciturn, also showed rare cooperation and answered all questions.

Just because of this lawsuit, the stock price of Wang Brothers Company actually fell sharply, and the market value finally shrank by almost 30 billion. Such a huge benefit was lost for a mere 8160 million. This pattern and vision are indeed not big enough. After all, the cooperation is jointly To win, of course you have to take a longer-term view. This move is really not worth the gain.

However, the time period chosen for "Painted Skin 2" is still good, as there are no movies that can be released during the same period.

Starring my eldest cousin Lawrence, "The Hunger Games", which was a huge hit in the United States, was a bit unacclimated in China, and it was difficult for the box office to exceed [-] million.

"Pen Fairy" is another psychotic horror film. It's scary all because of the background music, and it has more flaws than urine.

"Snow White and Mirror Mirror" is of good quality, but it is a musical, and the film was poorly done by the publicity department, so it was quickly sold out.

The cartoons "Sub-Mariner 2" and "Pig Man: 3D" are not of concern.

"Painted Skin 2" is also quite impressive. The box office exceeded 1 million within one day of its release, and its growth is amazing, and it is expected to reach the billion level again.

Seeing that this summer season was about to be dominated by "Painted Skin 2", Gu Zhongyu sent warmth in time and brought up "Like You" which had just passed the review!

It was originally planned to be released in August during the Chinese Valentine's Day, but Gu Zhongyu felt more uncomfortable seeing the Wang brothers making money than being in the street. In order to find something for the brothers to do, he moved it up a month and got it released on July [-]st.

This is very awkward!
Since Gu Zhongyu just went to Cannes to win the grand prize not long ago, the popularity has not subsided. In addition, this time it is a romantic comedy co-produced with his former rumored girlfriend Liu Yufei. The reunion of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv after six years immediately attracted people's attention. caught the public's attention.

Because the movie came by air, the promotion work didn't start until a few days ago. The poster shows Gu Zhongyu eating with a knife and fork, and behind him is Liu Yufei in chef uniform, holding a spatula and looking at him sinisterly, as if she wants to cook for Gu Zhongyu. It seems like fun.

Especially Liu Yufei's refreshing and capable short hair style is refreshing and looks better than her movie styles in recent years.

On the first day of the release, the leading actors such as Gu Zhongyu and Liu Yufei all attended the premiere and played some ambiguous games under the arrangement of the host, which fulfilled the long-cherished wish of Shendiao CP fans.

At the same time, I posted on Weibo and video websites some interesting clips from the filming period, such as Liu Yufei cutting her hair short and cooking, and the male and female lead going crazy on the street after eating mushrooms, and used these materials to attract people to the cinema.

Of course, no matter how well the publicity work is done, it still depends on the quality of the finished film.

Movies with handsome men and beautiful women + romantic comedy usually do well at the box office, especially this time in the hands of Chen Kexin, who is good at portraying delicate emotions. Regardless of the plot, actors, and performances, it is not 01:30 better than the original version.

The male and female protagonists are also very eye-catching. Not to mention Liu Yufei, compared with Zhou Dongyu, any actress would be considered a fairy.

Liu Yufei, who has always been relatively dull in acting, also broke through herself. She changed her past image of a cold fairy sister and turned into a carefree and funny female nerve, which is quite fun.

After the premiere on the first day, the box office was not very high, less than 4000 million.

However, as it was released in other parts of the country, the audience's reputation continued to improve, and the box office trend also began to soar. Film critics from all walks of life were not stingy with their praises.

"I am convinced that such a simple and badly told story can be filmed to this extent." This is a relatively concise film review.

"It's very beautiful! The cliché story of a domineering president can be made so vivid and funny, and the laughter is very natural. It's really amazing! Gu Zhongyu still has the youthful look of Jin Yanxi's period, and he is still so handsome that no one can match him! He can be compared with the unconstrained Liu Yufei A perfect match! If I like you, everything becomes simple. There is no way to define and no need to choose. They will be together naturally." This is someone who likes plots.

"When I looked into Gu Zhongyu's eyes, I thought I was in love with Yang Guo, and when I looked at Liu Yufei's smiling face, I thought I was in love with Xiao Longnu. When two people with a love physique held hands, they felt like deer bumping into each other through the screen. "This is for the nymphomaniac actor.

"The New Oriental female chef conquers the overbearing CEO with force." This is a good summary. …

In fact, sometimes the audience is really easy to satisfy. A romantic comedy movie with no success can make everyone willing to pay money to go to the cinema.

在接下来的几天，《喜欢伱》分别斩下4100万、5200万、5600万、5800万的票房成绩，总票房很快就来到了3亿的水平线。

The audience's reputation is also good, with a Douban score of 7.5, and Time.com also gave it a score of 82, which is a rare high score for a romance film.

In sharp contrast, "Painted Skin 2" took in a box office of RMB 5200 million on its first day of release. However, as the film's shortcomings were spread to the public, its reputation began to collapse.

Although the first part of "Painted Skin" has its flaws, it still tells the story well and retains some traces of traditional ghost culture.

The second part is a mess of Eastern magic, with slow pacing and confusing editing, especially Fei Xiang's weird and shocking appearance. Director Wu Ershan did not get rid of these problems until the filming of the "Feng Shen" trilogy.

The advertised 3D effects are still deceptive. The most three-dimensional is the title logo, and all the special effects are in the trailer.

Therefore, with the attack of "Like You", a comedy film suitable for all ages, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" quickly began to skyrocket!

By early July, the daily box office of "Painted Skin 7" was only around 2 million, because the reputation was so bad. Even after getting the key to extend the release, the box office performance barely reached 1000 million, which is higher than the previous life. It's almost 6 million lower.

Although there is no loss, there is nothing to make compared to the high cost. The value of the film IP of "Painted Skin" ends here.

Many senior people in the industry went completely crazy and said they couldn't understand. "Painted Skin 2" cost a real 1.5 million, with all kinds of cool special effects and a psychedelic plot. Why could it not be made for only 4000 million? "Like You"?
The Wang brothers didn't understand, and they wouldn't give in so easily, so they chose to invest money in Xuanfa to see if they could make a comeback.

The entire July movie schedule is a battle between "I Like You" and "Painted Skin 7".

Unexpectedly, the boss and the second child fought and the third child was killed!

July 7th happened to be the time when Brother Kaizi's new film "Search" was released. To be fair, Brother Kaizi calmly told a good-looking story this time. The social, human nature and other issues reflected in the movie are very profound. The beauty of the dollar in the movie has also reached a new level. It stands to reason that this movie can have good results.

Maybe it was because Brother Kaizi's reputation was so good in the past that the audience had some psychological shadow, and the movie quickly became a hit.

There was no splash on the first day of release, and the following days were silent. No one criticized it, but no one paid attention. It seemed that the movie had never been released.

What makes Brother Kaizi even more crazy is that for some reason, the heroine of the film, Gao Yuanyuan, did not cooperate with the publicity work, but turned to Zongheng Film and Television to shoot a new film.

Later, he learned the whole story from Zhao Youting. Brother Kaizi could only sigh that Gu Zhongyu was really a teddy, even the heroine of his movie that was being released was not spared.

"Search" didn't gross more than [-] million yuan at the box office until its release, making it his worst movie in recent years.

The angry Brother Kaizi also posted on Weibo that his movie had been plotted, otherwise the results would have been better and so on.

The netizens below are also very considerate. They have listed his glorious deeds starting from "The Murder of a Steamed Bun". They say that he is narrow-minded and that his movies are not as good as people's and they say that he is a plotter. He does not have the style of a great director.

Brother Kaizi is also a very tough person. He immediately blocks the issue and sends a lawyer's letter to those who keep nagging!

I don’t know if this incident stimulated him, but Brother Kaizi soon returned to his old ways and continued to make movies that tortured the audience.

Gu Zhongyu is no longer too lazy to pay attention to these. It is a foregone conclusion that the box office of "Like You" will exceed that of "Painted Skin 2". "Chinese Partner" is about to start filming, and he still has to prepare for this!
However, before that, he had to go to one more place.

~
Backstage at the movie roadshow, Liu Yufei was checking the reviews and box office trends of "Like You" on her mobile phone. Although the movie is still in theaters, it has already broken all her previous box office records.

In the past few years, the box office of "The Banquet at Hongmen" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" that she acted in did not exceed [-] million, and their reputation was very poor, which made her fall into self-doubt. Is she really not suitable for the film industry?

As a result, Gu Zhongyu took the romantic comedy film she shot in a month and took off the brand of box office poison on her head. Especially her fans, they all praised her for her good vision in film selection and her extraordinary acting skills. .

"Sissi, the host will ask you to come on stage later and share some of your cooking experience while filming a movie. Is that okay?" Yang Caiyu came over to remind her to get ready to go on stage.

"Okay, let them ask casually." Although she can't cook, Liu Yufei feels that her theoretical knowledge is enough to cope with it.

When Yang Caiyu saw Liu Yufei checking her cell phone, she knew she must be paying attention to the box office, so she asked how many there were now.

"It just exceeded 4 million."

"so much?"

Yang Caiyu couldn't believe it. It was just over 3 million two days ago, and today it's 4 million. Is the movie market so crazy now?
Many of my classmates haven't even performed in short plays yet, but my debut work has already earned 4 million yuan. Will I envy them when I meet them in the future?
"It would be great if Teacher Gu came this time. Many people are here to see your CP combination!"

Speaking of Gu Zhongyu, Liu Yufei now loves and hates him. She hates him for spending so much money and hooking up with her best friend Du Yuchen. But now that the new movie is a big hit, she can't hate him anymore. After all, it was all given by the scumbag.

As a young actor with no background, it was normal for Du Yuchen to be manipulated by Gu Zhongyu. In addition, she knelt down and begged for mercy in time, and the soft-hearted Liu Yufei also forgave her.

He was even afraid that Du Yuchen would be bullied again in the future, so he even asked her to join her studio. Now she is the second female artist in her studio.

But how to get along with this scumbag in the future made Liu Yufei difficult.

It would be tiring to yell and break up every time, and it was indeed difficult for her to leave Gu Zhongyu now. After all, in addition to emotional and physical dependence, she now even entrusted her career to Gu Zhongyu.

But being an ostrich is not my style either.

After much thought, she decided to go back and ask her well-informed mother Liu Xiaoli, believing that she would definitely have a solution.
