Big names rise

Although the enthusiasm for cinema construction in the mainland is very high, the number of screens has soared from 1000 yuan five years ago to 4000 yuan today, surpassing Japan's 3000 yuan, but there is still a huge gap with North America's 30000 million yuan.

Relying on the construction of theaters, 34 theater lines have emerged in China, most of which have nearly a hundred theaters, with strong competitiveness, and only a dozen theaters, whose influence is limited to the local area.

According to statistics, last year, the box office of movies in the mainland reached 34 billion yuan driven by 43 theater lines, of which ten theater lines had a box office revenue of more than 1 million yuan. Among them, the traditional and established theater chain China Film Star Beauty and the upstart Wanda Cinema Line, which has emerged relying on the real estate industry, both broke through the 10 million mark, and the situation is gratifying.

Chen Li reported to He Mu that he had opened up seven of the top ten theaters last year, but the support was not strong. After all, it was a small-budget movie with an unknown director. Compared with He Mu's meager box office appeal, when "Assembly" was finished and the bosses of the eight major theaters went to congratulate it in person and clearly supported the film, the release of "Night Shop" was much poorer.

Unhappiness comes from comparison, and happiness also comes from comparison. Although it is not as good as "Assembly", compared with the large number of films in China that can't be seen in theaters at all or can only be "one-day tour of theaters", the investment scale is not large. The "Night Club" is already very gratifying, not to mention the scale of the 400-screen screening, even if it can't reach it, it is only 300.That was a huge win too.

Cinema, it would be great if I had a cinema.He Mu always thinks this way sometimes, but it's just thinking about it.The theater chain is played by the rich and big capitalists. Even with Huayi Brothers' leading position in the industry, they only build one or two movie theaters for fun.

It is still more than ten days before the release of "Night Shop". While Chen Li is trying his best to support the theaters, he has not slackened in the film's promotional work. Several sets of stills and movie posters have been released, and the new trailer has also passed To meet the audience on the Internet, it is worth mentioning that He Mu bought the 1-minute pre-roll advertisement of "Crazy Racing".It is used to play the last trailer of "Nightclub", so now He Mu especially hopes that "Racing Car" will achieve good box office results, and the more people go to the theater to watch "Racing Car".More people know about "Night Club". The two movies have similar movie-going audiences, which will have a certain boost to the film's box office. The premise is that "Racing Car" has a good box office.

For this reason, He Mu secretly watched "Racing Car" after it was released.After reading it, he was relieved.This movie has a scale of at least 5000 million, this advertisement is worth it!

The film continues the multi-line narrative method that director Ning Hao is good at, and it has more clues. Although it is not as well-conceived as "Crazy Stone", it is more sophisticated and the picture effect is far from comparable to "Stone" filmed on dv , is still a rare comedy boutique in today's Chinese-language movies, at least it is much better than "Nightclub".

when coming out of the cinema.He Mu saw many parents queuing up with their children to buy tickets. They definitely didn't want to watch "Crazy Racing".He Mu glanced at the huge poster in the theater - "Joyful and Big Big Wolf: Bullish", this is really unpredictable.

Last week, as the movie version of the popular domestic cartoon "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bullness" entered the film market in a low-key manner, but unexpectedly caused a box office blowout. The box office exceeded 1800 million in the first three days, and its production cost was only 600 million The most frightening thing is that the film's average weekly attendance rate reached an astonishing 120 people per game. Even if the box office of "Red Cliff Part II" exceeded 100 million in the first week, the attendance rate was only 90 people per game. "If You Are the One" created a single The attendance rate of the week's box office record was only more than [-], far less than "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

Now this small cartoon is really bullish. In the second week, the major theaters rushed to buy copies, and the number of films also increased sharply, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies remained undiminished. Although the movie market is still the first to be released. The three-week "Red Cliff. Part II" is leading the trend, but "Crazy Stone" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Bullishness" are two films, one is expected to be good, one is unexpectedly good, and two films It had a great impact on "Red Cliff Part 1.9". "Red Cliff Part [-]" had a box office of over [-] million in two weeks, but the box office of the second part was less than [-] million after two weeks, and "Stone" and "Rainbow" were so strong, "If You Are the One" "is still quietly reaping the last bit of box office, and now it has broken through the [-] million mark, becoming the second Chinese film to exceed [-] million, which has the momentum to hit the Chinese box office record of "Red Cliff. Part [-]".From this point of view, "Red Cliff. Part [-]" is not optimistic. It is almost a foregone conclusion that it will not be able to compare with "Red Cliff. Part [-]". The only thing better than the previous part is that it has a slightly better reputation.

After watching the movie, He Mu asked Xu Zheng to go to Changsha together, and Li Qin'er was in Shanghai, so he flew directly to Changsha from there.

on the plane.

"I just watched "Crazy Stone". Brother Xu, you really look good with long hair." He Mu joked.

Xu Zheng chuckled, "My next movie will still have long hair, not only long hair but also thin body, this time I really look stylish, have you noticed that I have lost weight?"

"I thought you were tired from serving confinement."

"This is all requested by director Ning. After a while, I will go to the west to experience life. I still have to watch my mother-in-law when I serve confinement." Xu Zheng chatted with He Mu about his new film. Xu Zheng took the lead role in Ning Hao's movie once, and he attached great importance to it.

"Director Ning is in too much of a hurry. Before he can enjoy the victory of "Race Racing", he will start a new movie."

"He is such a person, he will rush to get things out after he is fully prepared. By the way, what are your plans next? I heard that you and Tiger Wolf..." Old Xu is also a bit gossip mentality, which is also true. Because he is too familiar with He Mu, otherwise he would not ask such a question with his character.

He Mu has nothing to hide from Xu Zheng, "I, I start my own company and invest in my favorite movies. I still have a lot of cards in my hand, and they are all small things. Brother Xu, if you have a good project in the future, you don't need it." Forget little brother."

"Sure, it's a pleasure working with you." Xu Zheng said.

Several years later, He Mu was really glad that he had said this to Xu Zheng.

After the two came to Changsha, Qin'er and Zhao Yingjun had already arrived at Malanpo, and the four of them met in the dressing room. The next movie promotion will also focus on the four of them.

"Hi!" When the four old friends were chatting, the door was pushed open, and it was members of the happy family who came. The communication between supporters and guests before the rehearsal is also essential. Can find some bright spots from it.And He Mu's current situation is the most attention-grabbing. The TV series he starred in will soon land on CCTV, and the movie he acts as the starring and producer will also be released, and there is also a scandal about breaking up with his partner. It can be said that there are constant topics, even if he has a dog at home, it can make headlines.

As the core soul of "Happy Camp", He Jiong has a wide range of friends in the entertainment industry. Xu Zheng and him are also good friends. Li Qiner has met him before. With him as the hub of both sides, everyone feels comfortable.While everyone was happily chatting about the script, Xiao Nan answered the phone, then whispered a few words to He Mu, and heard several changes on He Mu's face.

This expression is very strange, He Jiong asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, I got a nomination." He Mu pretended to be nonchalant. It was Datang who called Xiao Nan just now and asked her to pass it on to He Mu.

"What's the nomination, the Academy Awards?" He Jiong asked. The only famous domestic film award seems to be the Hong Kong Film Awards in March and April.

"Academy Award." He Mu replied, this was a bit of a surprise to him.

"Northern Film Academy Award?" Xu Zheng asked, he didn't seem to have heard of this award.

"The British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award (bafta)." He Mu said.

Xu Zheng immediately widened his eyes, "British Oscar!?"

"Ah."

"Best Actor?!"

"It's just a nomination."

He Mu and Xu Zheng asked and answered, and everyone else was puzzled. Isn’t the Oscar from the United States? Why did Xu Zheng say that the British Oscar is the British branch?

The fast-talking Xie Na first asked questions, and veteran actor Xu Zheng answered them, "This award is one of the most important film awards in the UK. Because it is an academy award like the Oscars, it is known as the British Oscar. It’s only for British nationals. Later, the scope of selection was expanded. As long as the film has been released in the UK, it is eligible to compete. Zhang Ziyi was nominated for best actress a few years ago, and it seems to be "House of Daggers" Movie."

Hearing what Xu Zheng said, everyone understood. It turned out that it was the British Oscar. Although it was not as good as the American one, it was still very good. Everyone said that He Mu's "One Shot 147" had a very good box office in the UK and was very popular. No idea, now it seems that this statement is true, otherwise he would be nominated for best actor?

Li Qin'er listened to Xu Zheng's answer and looked at He Mu with admiration. It's amazing. Brother Mu is only five or six years older than herself, but his achievements are really beyond compare. At this time, she thought of a question, So he looked at Xu Zheng, "Then has any Chinese won this award before?"

"Yes," Xu Zheng said without hesitation, "but he is not Chinese. He is a Chinese-Vietnamese actor who works in Hollywood. In 1985, at the 38th British Academy Awards, he won the British Academy Award for Best Actress for his role in "Battle of the City". He won two awards for leading actor and best promising newcomer, and also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He is the first Chinese to win an Oscar for acting, and we will occasionally mention him when we go to film history.”

As expected, he was born in a major and was an outstanding student in acting. With these allusions at his fingertips, it seems that Xu Zheng should be the type who was more eager to learn when he was in school.
