Big names rise

Chapter 420

Domestic small films are afraid to enter the fiercely competitive Lunar New Year slots, and want to catch up with the lively Chinese New Year movie viewing trend, so they have to join the box office melee before the Lunar New Year slots. As a result, a large number of small-budget movies appear together at the end of November.If it was in previous years, it would still be possible to make a fortune while the film market is booming. However, this year, the movie theaters are still showing such a huge blockbuster as "11", and it is difficult for small-budget movies.

Among them, Hu Jun, Jiang Wu, Li Liqun, etc. starred in "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" created by new director Yang Shupeng. Although the production is excellent and the story is innovative, the box office is miserable. He joined the crew of "Shama Town" for part of the publicity work. When he saw the dismal box office of "Tang Dynasty Brothers" from the news, he couldn't help but sigh. Hu Jun should be the one who should sigh most. He invested money, and he invested a lot. It looks like he is going to lose all his money. Is it easy for an actor to make money, alas.

Better than "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" is "Mars Is All Right" directed by Liu Yiwei, starring Huang Lei and Xie Na, Xu Zheng, Guo Degang and others. The good star lineup made the film earn 460 million in the first week, but only Less than one-thirtieth of "2012".The best-performing new film is Wang Yuelun, who created the classic case of "Perfect and Nine Beauties" with a small fight. His new film "Panda Heroes" ranked second on the list with a weekly box office of 1000 million. Word-of-mouth is not good, and some experts call it "low taste". However, Director Wang is not in the mood to care about the public opinion. Last month, his wife Li Xiang just gave birth to a fat girl, Wang Shiling.Now he is busy serving confinement.

It can be said that under the strong deterrence of "2012", no movie can stand out, and the investment of "Mulan" is not small.After all, it is a blockbuster costume war movie, and the cast is quite strong. It would be a pity if the box office was poor because it could not resist "2012". Have a good impression.

The director of "Mulan" is Hong Kong director Ma Chucheng, who made his debut as a photographer.Later, he switched careers as a director and made films such as "Summer Mother's Tea", "Star Wish", "Tokyo Raiders", "Hancheng Raiders" and other films. Director Ma's works are mostly romantic and action films.This is also the genre he is good at. This time he tried costume war movies, and also integrated the aesthetic romance and wonderful fighting that he is good at into the movie.

The film investors include Bona Films, Galloping Horse, Shanghai Film Group, Starlight International, etc., and it is jointly distributed by Bona and China Film.The grand premiere ceremony attracted a lot of insiders.When He Mu walked on the red carpet, the reporters immediately pulled the camera back from the last celebrity, and collectively projected it on He Mu, "crackling" shots indiscriminately.

Since getting married and coming back from Europe, He Mu rarely communicated with the media face to face, so there were a lot fewer news reports about He Mu, but He Mu's popularity has not diminished, even after two movies with a box office of over [-] million.People are paying more and more attention to him, which has caused an imbalance between readers' desire and He Mu's exposure.Therefore, whenever He Mu appeared, the reporters showed their housekeeping skills. Even if they couldn't talk to him, at least they would take a few beautiful photos and put them in their own newspapers and magazines to show off. I believe it would increase a lot of sales.

Most of the crew members of "Mulan" are here today. What He Mu is most interested in is Vitas who played a cameo in the film. This Russian singer who has recently become famous has a charming singing voice that ordinary people can't match. He Mu loves him to death The sound of the dolphin, He Mu, because of his own physical defects, admires those who are good at singing, and tonight he and Stefanie Sun, who sang the theme song, will both be on stage to sing, today's trip is a good deal.

The last time I saw Zhao Wei was two months ago when "Glass Heart" was released. At that time, Zhao Wei's belly was not yet visible, but now, she looks a bit pregnant. Her belly is probably one year earlier than Zi Lin's. Yue, Zilin is now used to wearing maternity clothes, but sister Wei is still holding on, she just wears a loose white one-piece dress to block her seemingly fat belly. The media will definitely confirm her current appearance the next day. To say that she has become fatter, a national idol of her level, even a little fatter is enough for people to talk about after dinner. If people know that she is married and pregnant, I don't know what kind of lively scene it will be.

After signing his name on the signature board, he said a few auspicious words to the reporter's camera, saying a few auspicious words about the box office hit, and exchanged some pleasantries with Sister Wei, Chen Kun and the others. He Mu found a seat and sat down.

Next to He Mu's seat was a tall and thin middle-aged man, who offered to extend his hand to He Mu, "Mr. He, thank you for your kindness to attend today's premiere."

He Mu was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered who this person was, "Oh, Mr. Li is too polite, why didn't you go to the front to join them?" I don't remember clearly, but He Mu has seen and remembered the photos of the bosses of major film companies on purpose, so he naturally has a certain understanding of him.

"We are used to hiding behind the scenes when we work behind the scenes. Not every boss can be as brilliant as Mr. He." Mr. Li laughed.

This Mr. Li is Li Ming, the chairman of Galloping Pony. He has an unpretentious name, but his strength is outstanding, and he is a well-known figure in the circle. Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop a small advertising company like "Remington". It has become the current Pony Horse Media Group, and has won the friendship and trust of famous directors such as Ning Hao, Gao Xixi, and Liu Zhenwei.Li Ming is known in the circle for being low-key and close to the people. He doesn't like to promote movies with directors and actors as much as Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong, but his reputation in the circle is much stronger than Xiao Wang and Fat Dong.

Galloping Horse is a comprehensive media company, involved in advertising, TV, film, performance management, magazines and other fields, and last year it also attracted Baring Asia's investment of 4000 million U.S. dollars. Compared with Shuimu Forest, it is richer and more powerful There are many, otherwise they would not make big moves one after another, but they have just started in the film field, and the box office profit is far behind the three dark horse blockbusters of Shuimu Forest in 09, so Li Ming did not underestimate He Mu. An actor-turned-film company boss.

In fact, stars and film companies like He Mu and Mizuki are not very popular. For details, you can refer to Andy Lau and his skyline movies. Those who can act well may not be able to run a good company. Liu Tianwang's network is so good. In the end, Tianmu Films suffered a lot of losses. Even if He Mu, a fledgling guy, has the titles of "Rookie King" and "Most Powerful Niche", can he be stronger than Liu Tianwang, so including Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei, etc. Almost all the spectators believed that He Mu would close the Shuimu Forest within half a year and return to the embrace of tigers and wolves, and only He Mu, who was surrounded by Xiao Fang, could barely be considered a character. This was a common opinion in the circle.

But now a year is about to pass, and none of the three films that Mizuki participated in has lost money, and all of them are dark horses. The word "Shuimu Forest" has become the most dazzling star in the film market this year, and it is also the fastest rising film company , with the baptism of three small-budget high-grossing films, Mizuki has completely opened up the two lines of Ren and Du in the distribution process, and has become the most popular film production company in theaters and cinemas. Now they can't wait to see Mizuki's new film Yes, because Mizuki's production means that the box office will soar.

Now who dares to say "Shuimu Forest will be closed within x years", those sour colleagues can only ridicule He Mu just got lucky and just picked up a few good movies... (unfinished to be continued..)
