Chapter 9: Strong film

Among the newly released movies in early May, the most noticed is naturally the "Menggui Mission" of the Unicorn movie.
The director of "Meng Guichaguan" is Huang Bin, the deputy director of the scriptwriting department of Kirin Culture. This former novelist, now one of the most powerful characters in the scriptwriting department of Kirin Culture, has finally embarked on his own way of directing.
The two starring roles in "Menggui Mission" are also famous.
One is Xu Guanying in the "Mr. Zombie" trilogy.
The other is Tao Dayu, the teacher-killer who relied on the fire of Jian Jian Lu.
But the joint cooperation of these three people is not the biggest reason why "Menggui Mission" received the key treatment.
In the first week of the screening, "Menggui Mission" signed the number of 132 screen premieres, which has exceeded more than half of the total number of screens in Xiangjiang.
The first such a strong number of screenings is of course because the off-season is now, but the more important reason is that the screenwriter of "Meng Gui Cha Guan" is Yin Jun.
At this point alone, all theaters are willing to come up with the best screens for this movie.
The same is true of the audience. When they saw the screenwriter of Jun Shao, they bought movie tickets without thinking.
In the first three days, the box office income of "Menggui Mission" broke through 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
Immediately following the second week, the result of the medium-scale screening across Asia was a total box office revenue of 120 million Hong Kong dollars.
Because "Meng Gui Chaguan" added more popular fighting content in the ghost film, the box office revenue in Asia for the third week did not fall but rose to 153 million Hong Kong dollars.
What makes people laugh is that this movie, which is based on Japan, is the reverse character, but it is sold in Japan. Many viewers of Japan are hooked.
In three weeks, its total revenue reached 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
Not too much, but for a new director, it has been regarded as very successful.
Huang Ying is also very satisfied, but some newspapers have different opinions.
"This film mode of joking and joking was written by Jun Shao a few years ago. Isn't this kind of repetitive stir-fried rice a bit perfunctory?"
"Jun Shao is a genius, there is no doubt about it, but after a script like" Meng Gui Cha Guan ", it makes people laugh and has nothing left in his mind, it is really a bit puzzled."
"Is it because Jun Shao's two years of focus are in the United States and the United States, and he wants to win the Oscar, so he ignores the development in Xiangjiang?"
"I remember when I was fortunate to have dinner with Jun Shao before, he once said that commercial films and art films are two feet of a film, and one is not enough ... But now he is only focusing on the award-winning literary and artistic films. There is not much development in the commercial film field. Has he violated his original intention? "
"From" Swordsman "to the present" Menggui Mission ", Jun Shao has actually failed twice! I hope he can wake him up this time!"
"..."
Looking at this series of comments, Yin Jun thought it was a ridicule.
"Menggui Mission" may not be so stunning, but it is definitely a good movie!
In terms of production effects and plot structure, it is commendable. In the future, because of this movie, a category of ghost films has been developed!
And "Swordsman", it's just a foreshadowing, okay?
If it were n’t for my wife being pregnant now, next year I will let you see what is called Fenghua Peerless Unbeaten Sister! !
However, Tucao is a vomit, and the comments of these newspapers are not worthless.
Most of the commentators on Xiangjiang ’s newspapers are really not the sprayers who do things for money. Most of them have real materials, otherwise they cannot stand out in such fierce newspaper competition and have their own comments. Small column.
Among them were the commentators of "Kylin Daily", who also vomited Yin Jun.
Regarding this, Yin Jun is not only not angry, but also very happy.
A newspaper is the best newspaper only if it is free from various influences such as power and only makes news from facts.
They dare to speak up and criticize even their own bosses, so are you still worried that they are afraid of other pressures, and dare not make a speech with righteousness?
Therefore, Yin Jun is still very willing to listen to their comments and those pertinent suggestions.
For example, in the past two years, Yin Jun has paid too much attention to Hollywood and ignored the development of Xiangjiang movies.
Of course, it is not too accurate to say this, because just last year, Yin Jun ’s "Spicy Hand Detective" was very hot. Not only did Zhou Yunfa re-enter the road of king of commercial movies, but also gave Liang Chaowei on the big screen famous.
Then there are "Raid" for Yuan Biao and "Sister Royal" for Yongsheng, all of which are box office and word-of-mouth works.
It is accurate to say that Yin Jun's important works in recent years have indeed been biased towards the United States.
Whether it's "Mission Impossible", "Tiger Gallbladder", or "Sixth Sense of Soul" are all aimed at the taste there.
Three of Yin Jun ’s own works, "Junuo", "Shoushenk's Salvation" and "Rainman", were also completed in Hollywood.
Judging from the comments in the newspapers today, the Xiangjiang film industry still needs Yin Jun to shoot the so-called "Life and Death Speed" so refreshingly big production.
Because the Xiangjiang film industry also needs to have its own pride.
Although Yin Jun belongs to Xiang Jiang, the films produced in Hollywood are also Yin Jun ’s industry, but there is a beauty in the country, which is a little farther away from Xiang Jiang.
If you do n’t make it in Xiangjiang, you do n’t need Xiangjiang ’s movie stars and production staff.
Therefore, the teenager decided to hit the Oscar again this year. After filming "The Pianist", he will definitely shoot a blockbuster film in Xiangjiang next year, which will give a good boost to the majesty of the movie industry in Xiangjiang.
That is to say, the special effects now do not meet the requirements, and the production of computer software and other products has not entered the mainstream of special effects production, otherwise Yin Jun will shoot in Xiangjiang, which is "Jurassic Park".
The protagonist Yin Jun thinks about it, if there is no accident, it is Zhou Runfa and Liang Chaowei, plus a Zhong Chuhong.
...
The criticism of Yin Jun by newspapers and public opinion did not actually last long.
Because in the second week of May, Yuan Biao's "Looking for Buddha" officially entered the global stage.
With two action movies, "Fast Food Truck" and "Raid," Yuan Biao has become a Hong Kong action superstar who can be compared with Cheng Long.
If it were n’t for Cheng Long ’s
Tiger Gallbladder
that he cooperated with Cameron last year, Yuan Biao had already surpassed Cheng Long ’s status.
The script for "Buddha Hunting" was given by Yin Jun. The investment was made by Baohe, Jiahe and Kirin movies. The overall shooting was completed in Thailand. There are more than 300 production staff. From the beginning, it was destined to be a big production.
And its global publicity costs are as high as 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is about 15 million US dollars.
Such high publicity costs, even in Hollywood, are rare, and you can see the determination of the producer.
First of all, the movie theaters in Xiangjiang and Asia gave a total of 70% of the total film output, and it was the same for two consecutive weeks-"Menggui Mission" is only 50% of a week, and it is limited to Xiangjiang, and the Kirin Theater in Asia also Only the second and third weeks followed up, and the number of screens given was only 30%.
The managers of these theaters have a very venomous vision. Even the Kirin theater itself has a judgment in its mind, and it will not lose its proportions because of who's work.
Of course, this is that "Meng Guichaoguan" is only written by Yin Jun. If it is replaced by a commercial blockbuster directed by Yin Jun, 90% of the screen and seats are not arranged without the arrangement.
This time, "Looking for Buddha" held five filming sessions in Xiangjiang. The 130-seat screening hall was full of dangdang, and many people watched it two or three times.
It is also because they watched it very carefully, and they also clearly knew how attractive this movie is, so they gave out 70% of the arrangement.
Even the cinema line managers of Kirin Group's North American branch also actively strived for more than 1,500 screens in North America and a total of 2,000 screens in Europe and South America. This shows how strong your confidence is.
The same is true.
"Buddha" and "Raid" are essentially movies with the theme of fighting and killing. The fighting alone makes people see the blood, and they can't wait to rush out and find someone to fight.
But "Buddha" is better than "Raid", because it occurs in the sun, and it belongs to the mode of good people fighting all the way and finally winning.
This is completely different from the style of "Raid" that controls the scope of the killing in a small space and cold and dark.
But in the fight for "Buddha", he became more and more skillful and unstoppable. The protagonist has been killed all the way, never failed, and he is not a killer, just to find his own elephant, and desperately fight with others.
Most of the time, he only broke the enemy's joints, far less than "Raid".
Therefore, many female audiences also look forward to this movie and contribute to the box office.
From this point of view, it occupies the peak again.
After a few edited screens were broadcast on TV several times, fans have been looking forward to "Looking for Buddha" since April, looking forward to Yuan Biao's new movie.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for Xiangjiang to have a box office of 20 million in the first week ~ EbookFREE.me ~ 30 million in the Asian box office and a total box office of over 150 million in the world.
Unconsciously, "Buddha Search" also created a record, that is, the first single-week box office movie that broke 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although globally, it is a bit worse than "Tiger Gallbladder" and "Mission Impossible", but it has already broken the record of "Spirit".
This is of course related to the increase in movie ticket prices worldwide this year, especially the Xiangjiang movie ticket price has soared by 20%, so its box office performance is so good.
However, this is also related to a total of 100 million publicity funds.
If the combination of Yin Jun and Yuan Biao had no effect on such a strong propaganda and could not explode at the box office in the first week, it would be a huge failure.
In the future in Hollywood, the box office in the first week will usually occupy about 30% -50% of the total box office, and even a little more than 70%.
This shows the importance of the first week.
Now the first week of 150 million US dollars came down, and the share was about 350 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if the promotion costs are included, the cost has already returned and it has already earned hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
The rest is the question of how much you can earn.
According to Nielsen's speculation, the strong box office performance of "Looking for Buddha", combined with a good reputation, can easily exceed the overall box office of 500 million to 600 million US dollars.
After all, there is still a lot of box office potential in Europe and the United States. The rapid increase in the number of screens and the number of films in the second week is a good proof.
As the actor, Yuan Biao also officially adopted this movie and became a prestigious international-level action superstar.
For a time, countless auras came towards Yuan Biao.
After Li Xiaolong, the Xiangjiang film industry has two action superstars, he and Cheng Long, who is really a successor!
