China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 462: Going to Spring Mountain

Starlight Records.

In the past few days, Chen Chusheng, Li Ronghao, and Xu Song have all been at the company, rehearsing new songs together.

The day before yesterday, they received good news.

The program they submitted for the Spring Festival Gala passed the preliminary review. Chen Chusheng and Li Ronghao have already attended the Spring Festival Gala once. The opening song of last year's Spring Festival Gala, "Go Home for the New Year," was composed by the two of them, plus a chorus by Hu Xia, Yu Kewei, and Meina.

This year, the company signed up for another program.

Song and dance program - "Up Spring Mountain".

This song is a customized song, composed by the well-known producer Zhang Chao and written by Xu Song.

Zhang Chao is the royal producer of Phoenix Legend. "Free Flying", "The Most Dazzling Famous Family Style", "The Fragrant Lady", "It's All Love", and "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" are all produced by him.

This time, the quality of "Up Spring Mountain" is also not low.

This year happens to be the 30th anniversary of the Spring Festival Gala, so I submitted "Up Spring Mountain", which has a good meaning.

However, although they passed the preliminary review, the three of them still did not dare to slack off. "Up Spring Mountain" is a song and dance combination program.

In the next half month or so, they will put down other work and work exclusively with dancers to rehearse and wait for the subsequent rounds of reviews.

As for Lu Yuan, although he also has a show, "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scale" is a recommendation. He will wait until January next year and directly participate in the first makeup rehearsal.

Then, the second and third rehearsals were done to show off and go through the motions.

The last rehearsal is a must.

This year's Spring Festival Gala will feature half real and half lip-syncing. Lu Yuan will definitely choose real singing, but he will also have to record and broadcast a version for the last rehearsal.

To avoid any accidents.

In addition to Lu Yuan, Xu Song, Chen Chusheng, and Li Ronghao, the first sister of Star Media, Damimi, will also appear on the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival Gala. She will sing the classic song "Go Home Often" with teacher Cai Guoqing.

This is a medley of songs in the "Tribute to 30 Years" session, including "A Fire in Winter", "Clouds in Hometown", "Love Dedication", "Come Home Often", "Big Bowl of Tea at the Front Door", " "My Chinese Heart" six consecutive songs (different combinations).

Over the next month or so, Damimi was very busy.

Filming, Spring Festival Gala rehearsals, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" promotion, everywhere they want her, since joining the team, Damimi stayed up late every day, intensified filming.

Deduct a few hours every day and make crazy progress.

The filming team of "Zhu Xian" has three groups: A, B, and C. Group A has the most scenes and the largest workload, and is mainly responsible for special effects shooting in the studio. Group A is divided into two groups, one group shoots in the studio.

In order to accommodate Da Mimi's schedule, Da Mimi had a shed all to herself during this period.

Group B and Group C were both shot on location.

……

In the following days, the box office of "Hongmen Banquet" steadily declined. It could not even maintain 20 million, only more than 10 million every day.

On the 24th, the single-day box office dropped below million.

After five days of release, the cumulative box office was only 6800 million.

Although the movie hasn't been released yet, it's almost certain.

"The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is settled.

Because the Lunar New Year stalls are coming soon.

Movies such as "The Thirteen Hairpins", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "Tears of the Fallen City", "Happy Magic", "Racing Legend", etc. will be released soon.

Except for "The Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", there are no particularly large-scale movies in this year's Lunar New Year period.

But it can’t hold up in large numbers.

With more than 30 movies being released together, the film schedule of "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" will inevitably be compressed.

Who made the attendance rate of "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" poor? Cinemas also have to make money.

On the other hand, "Love Like a Bouquet", which was released for 13 days, has a surprisingly stable box office.

After being released for so long, it can still maintain over 24 million every day, which is still more than a thousand. On the 1480th, the box office was 1500 million, which dropped by million for the first time.

So far, the cumulative box office is 2.78 million.

There are still more than ten days left before the release, and it is just around the corner to break 300 million.

Breaking 400 million may be a bit difficult.

Although the number of piracy resources has decreased a lot since the strictest copyright laws were issued, where there is demand, there is a market, and piracy has not been eliminated.

Pirated resources of "Bouquet of Love" have been leaked.

Xingchen Media has specially assigned an anti-piracy team to keep an eye on piracy resource websites on the Internet every day, catch one and report each one.

However, even so, the speed of manual anti-theft cannot match the speed of resource outflow.

At most, some of the losses can be recovered.

On Liben's side, "Love Like a Bouquet" also performed quite well at the box office.

In its first week of release, it ranked second at the box office this weekend with US$320 million.

The box office of the next weekend was US$560 million, making it the weekend box office champion.

(This weekend’s box office only counts Saturday and Sunday)
After being released for 3380 days, the cumulative box office was 2.3 million U.S. dollars, which is about million yuan converted into RMB.

It’s different from here in China. Liben’s movies have a longer release period. As long as they make a profit, theaters can adjust according to the situation.

The original version of "Love in a Bouquet" was released for a total of three months, nearly 3442 days, with a cumulative box office of US$ million.

Today, the cumulative box office of Star Media's version is close to that of the original version. The Japanese song plays a major role in achieving such a high box office.

Without the song that Lu Yuan and Ayumi Hamasaki collaborated on, Lin Gengxin and Ishihara Rimi would definitely not have the appeal they have now.

As for Xiangjiang and Wanwan, the box office performance is relatively average. In comparison, Wanwan is better.

The cumulative box office is more than 3000 million RMB, while Xiangjiang only has less than 1000 million.

However, Xiangjiang and Wanwan are not the main ticket stores in the first place, so it doesn't matter if the box office is lower.

Mainland + Liben has a cumulative box office output of 5 million+, which is already an explosive result.

For a small-budget movie with an investment of tens of millions (including publicity and distribution costs), with such performance, what else does it need?
With this movie, Lin Gengxin has firmly established himself as a first-line niche actor. Compared with the four major niche actors (09 version) Hu Ge, Zhang Junning, Lin Yushen, and Zhu Yuchen, his performance is undoubtedly better.

Not to mention the 09 version, even compared with the original four major actors, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaomin, Lu Yi, Chen Kun, and Tong David, his performance is not much inferior.

The male and female protagonist of "Bouquet of Love", Satomi Ishihara, is almost unknown in China. In the eyes of industry insiders, this movie is about him taking the leading role.

This is not.

Cheng Long sent him a movie invitation. "12 Zodiac Signs", which has been in preparation for several years, is about to be filmed. He sent Lin Gengxin a film appointment for the third male lead.

It’s not the second male lead, mainly because the character of the second male lead doesn’t fit.

"Blood Drop", which is invested and controlled by Xingmei Pictures, also sent an invitation to Lin Gengxin. However, the company did not accept this film.

"Blood Drops" is almost a bad movie.

The director first changed from Chen Kexin to Chen Desen, and then from Chen Desen to Liu Weiqiang. The creative team and cast were delayed again and again.

There is another movie similar to "Blood Drops", "The King's Feast" directed by Taro Rikugawa, which took half a year to shoot and is still adding investment.

What a coincidence, both movies are funded by SMI Group.

What a bad luck.
