Box office competition in October was quite fierce.
Hollywood movies may have been a storm that swept across in September, but when they were released in October, Hollywood movies turned into tornadoes, directly destroying the confidence of several Chinese movies that invested tens of millions in...
Three days before the release, Andorra’s "Deep Sea Shark" directly sold nearly 100 million yuan in the box office, and Jackson’s "Tough Guy Family 2" was not as frantic as "Deep Sea Shark", but it also hit nearly seven. With a box office of 15 million, the midnight horror film "October No. 33" also hit the box office in China. Although it only won a box office of 13 million, it was a very unpopular horror film. The investment is only about two million dollars.
This has broken the box office record in horror movies in the past two years.
Hollywood movies are always crazy in China.
Even if there are many people in the population who can't say to support Hollywood and support domestic films, every time it is released, the audience will be full, and there will be countless likes.
This is absolutely impossible.
why?
After all, other people’s special effects, other details, and many other situations are better than Huaxia Movies. What can you do?
In this case, the situation of Huaxia Film is very embarrassing.
The Chinese movies released in the same period have been popular and box office after their premieres. Two movies have been released three days after the release of the same amount as "October No. 33"...
What can you do about this?
Perhaps the only Chinese movie that can compete with Hollywood movies in October is "War Blood 2".
"Blood of War 2" did not disappoint everyone. The reputation of this movie is very good on Tomato. The score has reached 8.8. At the same time, the total box office in three days is quite brilliant and reached 80 million!
80 million?
Yes, 80 million!
It even surpassed 5 million in "Tough Guy Family 2".
This is already a pretty remarkable achievement.
After seeing this result, all Chinese movie fans are almost excited!
"Blood of War 2" has become a fighter, competing against Hollywood movies in the name of Chinese film. Although the box office champion in October is hopeless, it is basically the most brilliant stroke in Li Mingrui's directorial career.
All major headlines are rushing to report the news of "War of Blood 2". Some media have even touted "War of Blood 2" as the cornerstone of the Chinese film counterattack. Li Mingrui is even more regarded as a hero.
Li Mingrui was naturally very happy. After surpassing "Tough Guy Family 2", Li Mingrui was drunk and overjoyed that night!
"Blood of War 2" is on fire!
Yes!
Much hotter than "Blood of War"!
……………………………………
In the office of the relevant department.
Liu Zhenghao watched "Ghost Record" silently.
In fact, he thought this movie was quite interesting.
This movie is not full of screaming scenes like "October No. 33", and there is not much content.
It seemed that there was a sense of self-suggestion and a strange mystery from beginning to end.
Yes!
This is not the same as a general horror movie, which is basically full of suspense and makes people feel very panic.
After watching this movie, for some reason, even Liu Zhenghao, who has been on the battlefield, felt a chill.
"Old Li, what do you think?"
"Hollywood horror movie?"
"Well, a low-cost horror movie. Xiao Lu's company meant to show it in China as an agent..."
"The tone of this movie is okay. There is no murder or in it. I don’t think it is a big problem if it is released on the China Midnight stall, but there are some hints of ghosts and spirits in this movie... Doesn’t meet the current China Standard..."
"Well, yes, Xiao Lu also understands this, so the Hollywood side specially prepared the second ending."
"Is there a second ending? I'll go and see..."
"Well, let's go and see the second ending."
"it is good."
The two old men opened the second ending.
The second ending is the same, except that the subtitles that appeared later show that the heroine is missing.
As for where the disappearance went, there was no news of everything, nor was it filmed, just a line of words stating that the heroine was missing.
After watching the ending, the two old men looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Compared with the slightly ending before, at least this ending is more in line with the tone of Huaxia, and it also does not affect the tension that the whole movie has to show. After watching it, it still makes people feel chilly.
I have to say that Lu Yuan is really discerning, and he has chosen such a film agency.
"What do you think?"
"Although there are ghosts in this movie, there is not much disharmony in it, or else give the green light appropriately. Compared with the Hollywood movie "October No. 33", this "Ghost Record" In fact, it has been much better, and in the past year, Xiao Lu has contributed several films to our Huaxia Movies. He has grown a long face for our Huaxia. I think he should not be discouraged."
"Well, I think so too. After all, it's the first Hollywood film he has represented. It's okay to relax appropriately."
"Correct."
The two elderly people who were nearly old looked at each other, and both felt a hint of approval in each other's eyes.
Then the two nodded at the same time and knocked a review and approval chapter for this "Ghost Record"...
"call!"
"By the way, how about the box office results of "War Blood 2"?"
"It's pretty good. If it's not a surprise, October's box office second place is not a problem."
"Well, that's fine, I am old, and finally saw a glimmer of light in the Chinese film. By the way, "Assembly Number" is almost ready, right?"
"There are still a month or two."
"One or two months..."
Liu Zhenghao nodded thoughtfully, then looked into the distance.
He exhaled slightly.
A smile appeared.
The editor of "Assembly Number" is Xiaolu, right?
Not bad!
This young man is really good!
………………………………
October 5th.
The October box office battle is still in full swing.
Lu Yuan felt very happy.
The "Ghost Record" was handed over to the relevant departments yesterday, and the results came out this morning.
As a result, it was shown. At the same time, the staff of the relevant department secretly told Lu Yuan that the two leaders of the department had a very good impression of them.
Lu Yuan was very happy.
Although horror movies have always been poor at the China box office, they are basically guaranteed to make a small profit, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat?
Moreover, the total investment of this "Ghost Record" is less than 100,000 US dollars, even if China loses money again, where can it lose?
Just sell more tickets to make money.
Similarly, what made Lu Yuan even happier was that the second half of "A Westward Journey" was officially launched today.
In fact, it’s not a formal start. The whole story of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is actually integrated, but Lu Yuan is very pleased. After all, after completing the first part, many things are different.
Although it is the same movie, many things are slightly different.
An Xiao is the protagonist in the first half of "A Chinese Journey to the West", but An Xiao is not the protagonist in the second half.
She is only a supporting role and only a few scenes.
An Xiao can’t wait to come back when her own shots were taken in "A Chinese Journey to the West". After all, she didn’t know if she was free at that time, so she chose to take the shots in advance and edit them after the whole movie was over. Just go in.
A few scenes were not difficult for the entire crew and An Xiao, and they were all filmed in two days.
In the evening...
There is no sunset in the distant horizon, and there is also no sunset.
An Xiao looked at the sky, then knocked on Lu Yuan's office.
"Lu Yuan..."
"what happened?"
"I gotta go."
"Uh... when will you leave?"
"The plane at eight o'clock tonight."
"Leave tonight? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"No way, there will be an event in the company tomorrow morning, October, very busy."
"Oh, in that case, I won't keep you anymore. Where's your luggage?" Lu Yuan subconsciously looked next to An Xiao.
"The agent and the bodyguard helped me get in the car. I am not like you. I don't even have a bodyguard by my side. I carry my luggage..." When this was said, An Xiao suddenly showed a smile on his face that seemed like a reminiscence. "Lu Yuan, do you remember the scene when we first met?"
"remember……"
"I also remember that what happened at that time was as vivid as yesterday, and I was dragged to the front desk of your company for no reason...Haha." An Xiao suddenly smiled brightly.
"Khan...I don't know you. If I know you, I will pull others." Lu Yuan was a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, if one day, I really become your front desk, would you be surprised?" An Xiao looked at Lu Yuan's embarrassment and still smiled.
"No surprise...Instead, you will be scared of a heart attack." Lu Yuan shook his head, suddenly serious.
"why?"
"You are worth a lot in the entertainment circle now, please don't move you now, and I won't be able to move you in the future...Spent tens of millions to invite a front desk...my house, there is no mine..." Lu Yuan looked at An Xiao Shaking his head again and again.
"You really don't have any sense of humor." An Xiao felt that Lu Yuan was very angry.
"No, An Xiao, my humorous cells actually exploded under other circumstances. "A Chinese Journey to the West" has proven me, but under certain principles, I cannot be humorous." Lu Yuan laughed.
"What specific principle?"
"Contracts, money, copyright and other principles are involved." Lu Yuan is still smiling "I will take these very seriously."
"A little bit polite, not joking?"
"Yeah, what if I'm joking, and suddenly a fool takes it seriously? You are right...A lot of things come from the mouth."
An Xiao glanced at Lu Yuan deeply again, then shook his head.
"Lu Yuan, I'm leaving."
"Well, a good journey... by the way..."
When An Xiao walked to the door, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and stopped An Xiao.
"what?"
"There is a song... I want to work with you..."
"What song is it?"
"The theme song of the movie."
"Have you finished?"
"Well, it's finished."
"let me see."
"No, it's not time now... and if you continue to talk, your flight will be late."
"May I know the name of this song?"
""life long love"."
"..."
"what happened?"
"It's okay...I'm leaving."
"Well, then I wish you a good journey now."
"Ok."
Lu Yuan did not send An Xiao off.
But silently watched An Xiao leave the house.
Lu Yuan felt that An Xiao was weird. From a psychological point of view, this girl might be a bit into the play.
Lu Yuan analyzed it and felt that he could not send it.
So much the better.
but……
About ten minutes later, An Xiao knocked on Lu Yuan's door again.
Lu Yuan looked strange at An Xiao who came back.
"I want to listen to this song, and I will leave after listening to it." An Xiao suddenly laughed. "Speaking half a sentence can easily kill OCD!"
"what?"
