China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

This Spring Festival, "Under the Red Cliff", which everyone originally thought could get at least 500 million at the box office, ended up only getting 220 million.

Even though Lu Ping'an never admitted that he had the purpose of suppressing Chibi.

But industry insiders still believe that this is the effect of Xingchen's blocking.

This is a very encouraging result for our mainland colleagues.

Of course, issues such as capital from Hong Kong and Taiwan and cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places will definitely not be blocked in the future because of the national strategy.

So of course cooperation will continue as usual.

But if anyone takes advantage of the co-production opportunity to blatantly carry out a sedan chair, they will definitely encounter a joint boycott.

This is not just talk. I heard from Han Sanpin that many co-productions are beginning to adjust the cast composition, and the roles and roles of mainland actors will increase a lot.

This is the embodiment of this "Safe Road Anti-Malicious Sedan Carry".

Mainland officials have no way to end it, but there is really a leader in the fields, and the key is that he will really beat you.

Of course everyone should be careful.

Of course, some Hong Kong and Taiwan capital such as John Woo will not really stop here.

Because there is another very critical point here.

That is, the gold content of the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards is much higher than that of the three major awards in the Mainland.

This is really not the result of propaganda.

Although there are some insider information, the three major awards in the mainland are really nothing.

This makes our mainland colleagues very helpless.

So as long as the gold content gap between the Academy Awards, Golden Horse Awards and the three mainland awards remains.

Things like John Woo's "carrying a sedan chair" will still happen in the future, but they won't be so obvious.

But the good news is that the mainland's film market will become bigger and bigger in the future, and the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan capital is already a trend.

Even if they don't need to be taken care of, they won't be able to run around for a few days.

Of course, there are things that can be done and still need to be done.

On the last day of February, Big Eye Z suddenly received a notice that Huayi's "Painted Skin 2" had changed its lead role.

The two protagonists originally negotiated for this movie were Mr. Zhou and her.

Replaced the original pear.

As a result, it was about to change again. The Big Eye Z team initially thought that Mr. Zhou and Hua Yi were having some conflict.

But they didn't expect them to receive notice soon. It turned out that she was the one who was replaced!

Big-eyed Z was very surprised and immediately called: "Isn't it already agreed?"

The Huayi Xiao Wang opposite simply replied: "Investors don't like you."

This answer is very irrational.

In terms of commercial value, how many people in the mainland are higher than her now?

But before I even thought about it, a call came from the other side.

Soon the Big Eye Z team felt like they were mourning.

Because the caller was from the crew of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

The film's launch press conference was held a few days ago.

Han Sanpin also issued a summons to the industry.

Any celebrity would sign up enthusiastically.

As a result, Big Eye Z, who had already been confirmed to participate in the show, was suddenly informed that he would not be able to go.

The Big Eye Z team immediately realized that something was wrong.

And I also realized that this was probably related to "Red Cliff".

In order to figure out the plot and the seriousness of the matter, the entire team ran around in the next few days.

The good news is, they finally figured out the situation.

As guessed, it is indeed because of "Red Cliff".

Because Chibi was carried in a sedan chair, the advantages actually outweighed the disadvantages for Big Eye Z, because she relied on Hong Kong and Taiwan capital, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and her net worth also increased a lot.

This is a very critical gain for Big Eye Z.

Because behind a certain banner, she has always been resting on her laurels.

This return of blood, even though it is very controversial outside, is a big profit for her.

I just didn't expect that the current model of trying to increase one's worth through Hong Kong and Taiwan is no longer feasible in the mainland.

So the investor from Huayi said directly: If you have lowered your worth to help people carry the sedan chair, how can you have the dignity to double your salary now?

So just replace it without any negotiation.

The "Foundation of the Republic" side was even more cold and had no response at all.

That's scary.

But the good news is that the current situation is only temporary, just a small punishment. After all, Big Eye Z has no other backers, and it will get better after a while.

The Big Eye Z team breathed a sigh of relief.

But I also understand that the current situation in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan is different.

As for who is messing with her.

Big Eye Z actually guessed something in his mind.

She knew that Lu Pingan seemed to have a strong opinion of her.

I knew it when we first met.

I just don’t know if he is taking the lead now.

No matter what, she looked at her graduate tutor Tian Zhuangzhuang, friends Chen Kun, Yan Danchen and others.

She decided to manage the relationship well and try to get on the line with Lu Ping An. If there was any conflict, she would try to talk it out.

On the other hand, Huayi actually doesn't care much about the change of roles in "Painted Skin 2".

Now Huayi has a new shareholder, called Small Target Capital, with hundreds of billions of assets under management, and they proposed the replacement.

As for who the new person is, of course it is Lizi.

Little Target has not yet revealed whether it belongs to Lu Ping An, but the representative has said that it is best to be the original version.

Huayi is currently short of money, and Li Zi's net worth has soared after "Wonderful Night 2", and has been confirmed to participate in Lu Ping'an's "The Wind", so the commercial value will continue to rise.

And the reputation of Big Eye Z is not good now.

Of course there is no problem in switching back to the original version.

The big and small kings even wanted to use this to continue to bridge the friendship with Lu Ping'an.

Look, I still use the original version, and I respect you.

The purpose is also very simple. They are all from the Beijing area, and if they can't compete, then they can just continue to eat meat and drink soup as before.

Lu Ping An did not give a reply to this because he is busy now.

Next, Lu Ping'an and the creators of "Wonderful Night 2" will continue to travel around the world for road shows.

By the beginning of March, the domestic box office of "Wonderful Night 2" reached 989 million, and Xingchen was preparing to celebrate the 1 billion mark.

At the same time, the results of the film's overseas release were also reported.

Xiangjiang was officially released, with a box office of 45.69 million, temporarily ranking first in the year.

Hong Kong media said that the only Chinese-language film that can beat it is "The Storm 2", and the rest will have to rely on Hollywood films.

The remaining two movies each achieved around 11 million, which was expected.

In Taiwan, the box office of "Crazy Racer" was NT$120 million. What took off along with the box office was the film's reputation, which was highly praised by the people of Taiwan.

"Wonderful Night 2" was released for a week, with a box office of 21 million, which is quite satisfactory.

In South Korea, "Wonderful Night 2" received a total of 1.89 million viewers, which was slightly higher than "Heroes" and "Source Code" that year, which was okay.

Movies from other regions are also being released one after another. Because it is a series, there have been two Chinese and American versions of "Wonderful Night 1" as a base, and the initial results and reputation are looking good.

Professional organizations predict that the global box office of "Wonderful Night 2" is estimated to exceed 250 million U.S. dollars, and may reach 300 million U.S. dollars.

It looks huge, but in fact the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan have already won US$160 million.

But this is still a good result, much better than the US$30 million of "Wonderful Night 1".

As a result, "Wonderful Night 2" has been hailed as "another successful cultural export" by the mainland media. (End of chapter)
