superstar director

Chapter 420 September
Because the summer box office war started, the three of Ning Tong who re-entered the filming crew quickly lost news in the media.

In the first week of the summer vacation in August, four new films were released. Among them, the domestic film "Slaying the Wolf", "Apostle Walker", "The Great Guardian", and the imported Hollywood film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".In the first week of fighting, "Slaying the Wolf" won the championship with a score of 9.8 million in seven days. Its reputation on Douban is also very good, with a score of 7.2. For a police action movie, this score is already It can be regarded as an excellent work, especially the few action scenes in it, the audience who watched it shouted.

Then in this order are "Apostle Walker", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and "The Great Guardian".The second-ranked "Apostle Walker" scored 6.2 million at the box office in seven days, and its Douban score was 6.7, which is considered a pass, but how much of this score is for feelings and several actors, and how much is for the movie itself Yes, it's hard to say, but it is a fact that the box office attendance has been declining, so it is estimated that there will be a significant drop in the box office in the second week in the future.

The third place is the Hollywood blockbuster "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Nowadays, Hollywood is attracting money all over the world because of the hero blockbusters, so more production companies are starting to invest in superhero movies, but obviously not every movie Superheroes can be money grabbers.

The box office of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was not good in the North American market. Although the box office was good in the first week, it continued to plummet due to the poor reputation. The same is true in the Chinese market. In the first week, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Douban score is only 6.3, struggling on the verge of passing. Although the heroine is the sexy beauty Megan Fox who has become popular in recent years because of "Transformers", her vase of beauty does not bring a little boost to her acting skills. There are still a few tortoises that make people foolishly unclear, so word of mouth seems to be destined to hit the street.

However, his box office in China in the first week was 2.3 million, which can be regarded as the domestic audience's remembrance of this animation. In the next new week, there is no doubt that this Hollywood blockbuster will be released along with other new movies. And fell out of the top five rankings.

As for the anime "The Great Guardian", some people like it and some don't. The Douban score is as high as 7.8 points, but the box office is only 1.6 million. Strange, is it because there are too few audiences who like this movie?

In the next week, "Chill" and "You Now You See Me" were released one after another, and the box office battle became more intense, and the two newly added movies were like two tiger sharks, which directly drove away other movies. In the second week of August After the box office results were released, "Chill" won the championship directly with 10.8 billion, while "You Now You See Me" ranked second with 7.6 million, and last week's champion "Slaying the Wolf" ranked third with a slight gap. In seven days, another 7.1 million box office was collected, and the total of 16.9 billion in two weeks has already exceeded the profit line of 9 million. It is expected that it will eventually reach about 25 billion in the future.

Then ranked fourth is "Apostle Walker", which received an additional 3.6 million in the second week of its release, and a cumulative box office of 9.8 million. For a movie with a total investment of less than 1.2 million, this result is already profitable. The media predicts that the final box office of "Apostle Walker" is expected to hit the 15 billion mark.

The fifth place is the unexpected "The Great Guardian", with a score of 1.2 million, which is more than 3 million more than "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which was adjusted to the sixth place.

The movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has already withdrawn from the box office competition of China's summer vacation ahead of time, and it has become a spectator.

In the third week, the new film "My Girlhood" and the Hollywood animation "Zootopia" were released together. Because "Zootopia" is now released in North America, the overwhelming reputation and box office have already made China's Many audiences are looking forward to it, especially many children, who have been waiting for this animation for a long time, but the other "My Girlhood" has not received much attention.

Although the movie is under the banner of youth, there are too many youth movies these years, and they are all the same. Everyone is tired of watching, especially there are many movies of this type, but they really make people like it and feel the youthful atmosphere. However, there are only a handful of movies with a good reputation, so this one is neither a big director nor a movie starring a popular star. Compared with other movies, it really doesn't get much attention.

However, when the new week's box office results came out, everyone was surprised. "Chill" continued to lead, and won the second weekly championship with another 12 billion, with a total of 22 billion in two weeks.The newly released "Zootopia" directly rushed to the second place, breaking the first-week box office record of Hollywood animation in China with a super high box office of 9.6 million, followed by "Slaying the Wolf" which was released in the third week , and continued to win 7.6 million box office, with a total of 24.5 billion in three weeks.

Then the fourth place is the surprising "My Girlhood". This youth movie has no big directors, no popular stars, and no one is looking forward to it. "The Thieves", with a score of 6.8 million, broke the box office record of the first week of China's youth romance film!

The box office battles throughout the summer were fierce, especially "My Girlhood" and the Hollywood animation "Zootopia" had both box office and word-of-mouth gains. human eyeball.

Ning Tong's three girls are busy filming on the set. Under the strict requirements of the director, they don't have the mind to pay attention to the new movies of this year's summer file. However, they don't have the energy to pay attention. The box office of the movie hit hundreds of millions, more than one billion, and she was very excited, because she was about to make a movie herself. Thinking that she also had a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions, billions, or even higher, Yolanda felt that she was still making TV series. Ning Tong is not qualified to compare with herself at all.

I'm a movie guy, and Ning Tong is a TV guy, which is already a different level!
Yolanda thought excitedly, and then couldn't help calling the old man again, asking how the movie was going.

"Godfather, when will the filming of the movie you promised him start? I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Really? That's great—don't worry, he's been staying at home and obediently, so I'll wait for you in vain at night——"

Yolanda couldn't help jumping up excitedly. The old guy really didn't lie to her. Now the production crew has started preparations and actors have started to be selected, and the filming will start in half a month. This news is really great.By the way, her role as the heroine is very important, not only the heroine, but also the big villain behind the scenes, it's so cool, Yolanda believes that this time, she will definitely leave that annoying girl Ning Tong behind !
Less than a week after Yolanda made the phone call, the new martial arts movie "The Sword of the Three Young Masters" invested by Huayi Film and Television began to audition for the last few important supporting roles, and then half a month later, the opening ceremony of the film was held in Hengdian.

Although martial arts films are relatively more affordable than other high-investment films such as fairy tales, myths, fantasy, and history, there is actually no other cost except for the actors' remuneration, unless of course you want to use special effects in the film technology.

However, general martial arts films still rarely use special effects, and this Huayi's "The Sword of the Three Young Masters" has a total investment of [-] million. In the current film and television environment, a movie investment of [-] million is not considered a big investment, and the actors This time the pay was well controlled. In order to make a film that could show Ning Tong, Yolanda voluntarily acted with a basic salary, and the other actor, Lin Gengxin, was not a popular niche, so the pay was only a few million , not to mention other supporting roles, in fact, it is true that the director is the one who pays the most in the movie.

Speaking of which, this director was also a famous actor. Er Dongsheng was once a well-known kung fu star in China. He was once a smash hit in the 90s. The movie "Three Young Masters Xie Xiaofeng" he starred in was also a famous martial arts movie at that time. Now he is an old man. The third young master personally directed the remake of this master Gu Long's work, which is also a constant topic, and many people are looking forward to it.

At the opening ceremony, director Er Dongsheng stole the limelight, whether it was male or female protagonists or other stars, and director Er Dongsheng had directed several films of various types before, as a transition from actor to director. One of the representative characters, Er Dongsheng directed the martial arts film "The Sword of the Three Young Masters" this time and was praised by the media as "the third young master in the hearts of the three young masters". what it looks like.

Although Yolanda was very dissatisfied with being forgotten at the opening ceremony, she endured making this martial arts film her masterpiece. In the following filming process, she also suppressed her temper and fully cooperated with the director. , just to make this movie well.

Time flies by, and the summer season in August is gradually coming to an end. "Cold War" became the champion of the summer season with a box office of 35 billion in China. It will be released in Europe and North America one after another after it is released. The media optimistically estimates that the total global box office of "Chill" will be around 9.6 billion.Of course, with the release in Europe and North America, the global box office of "Cold War" was actually fixed at 44.9 billion.It can be seen that Western audiences are still different from Chinese and Asian audiences.

In addition, "Slaying the Wolf" scored 32 billion domestically, 11 billion overseas, and 43 billion globally. It seems that working films are still more popular in China.

Then there is Laomei's animation "Crazy Zootopia", which swept 21 billion Huaxia coins in China and contributed more than 3 million US dollars to his global box office. Huaxia Film and Television is even more salivating.

And the biggest dark horse in the summer, "My Girls' Generation", went black to the end. With an investment of less than 3000 million, it finally hit the domestic box office of 16.8 billion, and the overseas box office in Asia also set a record and cut 5.6 million. The movie is the highest-grossing movie in Asia except China.

With the end of the summer vacation, children, big and small, whether they like it or not, have started their back-to-school schedule, and the two grand awards ceremonies in the entertainment industry in September are also coming soon.

The China Music Awards on September 20th, the China Starlight Awards on September [-]th, a music award, and a TV and movie award are all national awards that attract a lot of attention. Therefore, the three of Ning Tong who are still filming I also had to ask for leave from the director to attend the awards ceremony. Oh, yes, because their directors are also going to attend the awards ceremony, so in fact, the three of Ning Tong don’t need to ask for leave. The director directly gave the crew a three-day vacation, and then they sat together The plane rushed over.

This time, Yolanda had no way to get away from Ning Tong, and she was angry because she didn't receive the invitation letter, so she didn't have to go to the awards ceremony. Yolanda would rather stay on set and film than let her hated old rival win the award.

However, even if she didn't go, their "Sword of the Three Young Masters" crew had to suspend for a few days, because director Er Dongsheng was invited to the awards ceremony, Yolanda yelled a few times, and then went directly back to the hotel to rest, but After she went back, she was caught off guard by the old man who suddenly came to the door. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to take a rest, but in the end she was tossed about for three days, and she was more tired than no rest.

The three of Ning Tong followed Director Zhang and the others, a crew, and a crew left the red carpet. Although they were also invited by the music awards before, they were not shortlisted for music works, and they were filming, so they didn't go , They came with the director for the invitation of the Starlight Awards this time, and many media asked a lot of questions about it, such as "You don't go to the China Music Awards, but come to the Starlight Awards, do you think you don't like the music awards? Do they have an opinion?" "Do you think the Starlight Award is more important than the music award?" "Do you not like the judges of the music award?"

The three of Ning Tong are also old people in the entertainment industry, and they no longer panic about these questions, and they answered impeccably, "The music awards are shooting a continuous scene, and we really can't get away, and we don't have any music works shortlisted this year." It’s the same whether we go or not, I think it’s better to go to the award ceremony when we have new shortlisted works in the future!”

Although there are still media reporters who will deliberately misinterpret the answers of Ning Tong and the three of them because of this topic, especially the six media that were blocked by Ning Cheng, but the judges and organizers of the awards ceremony are not audiences or fans. Those old fritters in the circle don't care about the media's gossip at all, because they know the facts.

Ning Tong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ying Bao's "A Thousand Bone Flowers", and Shi Shi's "Scary Step by Step" were all shortlisted for various TV awards, which also made the TV series part of the Starlight Awards known as the It's the civil war at Xingtong Studio, and it's the sister war of NLZ group!
Although Shishi's "Scary Step by Step" has not yet been released, Dongfeng TV is planning to start broadcasting after October to ensure the ratings of the TV station's programs in the second half of the year, but Xingtong Studio submitted the TV series to the jury, so As for why not postpone the nomination until next year, there is no way, the three of Ning Tong will have three more TV series released next year, and the competition will be more intense by then.Therefore, it is more cost-effective to be shortlisted this year!
