Chapter 470 Changes
"Painted Skin" is probably the first time Zhang Chen has shown his power after he took over Jiahe.
There wasn't even in "Racing".
Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping shouted unwillingly, but shouting was useless.
The theater chain is Jiahe’s own, and Jiahe can schedule the films as it wants.
What's more, the boss's own movie is released, so he has to support it with all his strength.
The most depressing thing is Yu Dong.
With the leapfrog of "Golden Armor" can still maintain a screening of around 30%, and "Wreak City" is completely finished, at most 10%.
Zhang Wei was not idle, and he scolded and gained prominence in all kinds of ways, but he could only gain some attention for "Golden Armor", and there was nothing extra.
It is also from this moment that everyone realizes the importance of having their own theater chains.
Huayi brothers, Wang brothers sit in the mountains to watch the tiger fight.
"Zhang Chen is amazing this time. His Jiahe has shown his face well. From now on, when those smaller film and television companies see him, they have to call him "Big Boss~"
Of course, it's the boss.
Jiahe Cinema is now the eighth-ranked theater in China, but it has an advantage that other theaters do not have, which is its independent production ability.
Give the simplest example
If Zhang Weiping takes Zhang Yimou's film to negotiate with theaters, other theaters will have to surrender, but Jiahe can ignore him.
For other theaters, Zhang Yimou's films are profitable film and television projects, and if they are not released, they will lose money~
So even if they increase the share ratio, they can still accept it by pinching their noses.
The most proportion of accepting him is to make less money, and not accepting him will not make a single point.
But Jiahe is not afraid.
Can you fall in love with it?
Not to mention, the films produced by Star Entertainment and Jiahe alone are enough to cover all the scenes.
This is confidence~!
The second week of "Painted Skin" was released, and the box office exceeded 100 million again, with a total box office of 210 million.
It seems that the scene of "Racing" in the National Day holiday is repeated.
"Racing" is also the same, with a 100 million week, and a 200 million week.
The industry was shocked!
Movie fans cheer!
Another movie that exceeded 200 million was born, and it took two weeks.
Everyone was staring wide, wanting to see if "Painted Skin" can break 300 million as he promoted.
At the same time, the box office of "Golden Brothers" also reached 250 million.
This is its third week of release. Anyone with experience knows that it is probably a bit difficult to break 300 million in "Golden Armor".
Some people on the Internet joked, why is it only 250 million?
But it was immediately refuted: 250 million is still a small one. There are only three films in China that have exceeded 200 million, including "Golden Armor".
In the darkness, I don’t know how many eyes were staring at "Painted Skin", wanting to see if it can exceed 300 million.
The Wang brothers were depressed. They were obviously all four major directors and they all made costume blockbusters. Why did Zhang Chen and Zhang Yimou get so big when they filmed, and Xiaogangpao and Chen Kai failed.
Among them, the small cannon is the most unsatisfactory.
"Night Banquet" has only 130 million in China.
"The Promise" is at least 180 million.
People are more dead than others, and goods are more hungry.
"How are their overseas box offices? How are they selling?"
"I've inquired about it, but it's not sold. After "Night Banquet", overseas filmmakers no longer buy Chinese costume blockbusters casually. Poet Chen really closed the door to Chinese costume blockbusters on his own..."
This is probably the only place for the two to feel relieved.
"The Promise" was returned, "The Night Banquet" was cheated, "The Golden Armor" and "The Painted Skin" were not sold~
Everyone is almost the same!
This aspect is really seriously affected.
In the past, overseas film manufacturers bought Chinese costume kung fu films with their eyes closed.
I don't dare to do it now.
No one dares to take action if he doesn't see the film.
For example, "Golden Armor", you not only need to see the finished film, but also look at your domestic box office.
Some time ago, Dong Jianqiang took "Giant Crocodile Storm" and "Painted Skin" to attend the film festival. "Giant Crocodile Storm" was sold, and the investment was larger and the production was more well-produced, but no one bought the "Painted Skin"~
Even if there is a bid, it is very low~
That will force these blockbusters to prove themselves in the domestic market. With high box office, film manufacturers will naturally be sought after.
...
A movie theater in Beijing
The game at 10 o'clock in the evening is about to begin, and a woman with sunglasses, hat and scarf appears.
It's cold December now, and it's normal to have a hat and scarf, but it's a bit abnormal to wear sunglasses on the night.
In the surprised eyes of the staff, the woman checked the tickets and sat in the last row.
After observing for a long time, I found that no one around me noticed her, I took off my sunglasses and was the most popular Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi made a special trip to watch "Painted Skin" today. In order not to be seen by the media, she also specially selected a night with few people.
At the beginning of the movie, the horse thief played by Fan Binbin snatched back to the counterfeit house, and the horse thief leader looked coveted.
Fan Binbin's charming look was first revealed.
Zhang Chen took her beautifully here.
Of course it’s beautiful. Zhang Chen wants to use this movie to establish Fan Xiaopang’s status as the number one beauty in ancient costume.
Fan Xiaopang can indeed be called it.
Seeing this, Zhao Yanzi curled her lips unconsciously.
She doesn't understand why Zhang Chen looks down on her!
After showing goodwill several times, Zhang Chen seemed to have not seen it. Instead, he was very fond of Fan Xiaopang, who played the maid.
The story continues, the divine weapon falls from the sky
The general played by Huang Xiaoming led people into the mountain village and saved Xiao Wei.
Later, I went home and met Pei Rong, played by Mr. Zhou.
Then there is the daily life of the two women, test ~
Xiao Wei is so beautiful that she quickly won everyone's love.
In this section, if you are a professional, you can see the performance of the two.
Zhao Yanzi admitted that Fan Xiaopang's acting skills in "Painted Skin" have indeed made great progress compared to "Returning the Pearl", but there is still a gap compared to Mr. Zhou.
It’s just that because she has more scenes than Mr. Zhou, she has not shown a crushing state.
If the two change roles, Fan Xiaopang will definitely be defeated in seconds.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanzi curled her lips again. If she had played Xiao Wei himself, she would definitely not have been suppressed so much.
In fact, this aspect is completely Zhao Yanzi's conjecture.
As a director, Zhang Chen could not let the show appear.
Mr. Zhou’s acting skills are indeed better than Fan Xiaopang, but Fan Xiaopang is the first heroine, and the second is that he cannot beat the first one no matter what.
Zhang Chen must not allow this situation to happen.
It's a erotic show again, and Xiao Wei seduces Wang Sheng. Gorgeous curves, captivating~
A smile and a frown can attract people's attention~
Zhang Chen applied all his aesthetics that had surpassed the previous 20 years to Fan Xiaopang.
Whether it is clothing design or shooting techniques~
Even with a side face, you can hear a large amount of saliva swallowing nearby~
Zhao Yanzi has to admit that Fan Xiaopang in "Painted Skin" not only likes to watch, but also women.
Zhang Chen is worthy of being the director who is known as the best at filming women~
His cameras can always capture all kinds of beauty of men.
In the past "Shake Beach", Fan Xiaopang had already shown her cool beauty, but this time "Painted Skin" is charming~
Zhao Yanzi suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis~
After "Painted Skin", there is "Pacific Rim". She seemed to have a premonition that Fan Xiaopang would probably become the existence they look up to in the future~
...
In the second week of exceeding 200 million, the director Zhang Chen, led the main creators of "Painted Skin" to perform crazy roadshows.
The results of "Painted Skin" made everyone feel a breath.
Now they are the male and female protagonists with a box office of 200 million, so can they become the male and female protagonists with a box office of 300 million?
This is a completely different concept in the circle.
For Zhang Chen, it is another kind of motivation.
The record he set in "Hurricane Rescue" was broken by "Crazy Racing".
On the day of the record-breaking day, he also specially made a poster with the hero of "Hurricane" handing over a crown to the hero of "Racing" Geng Hao.
It symbolizes the handover of the domestic box office championship.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
He is not a stingy person. If the record is broken, it will be broken. Just come back.
What he really wants to break is the record of "Titanic".
That is the shame of the people of the country.
But the box office of 360 million is daunting.
That's why "Pacific Rim".
Only magic can defeat magic.
What's the matter with "Titanic"? It's amazing special effects and world-class marketing.
And marketing is the most important thing here.
The special effects of the big ship in "Titanic" are just that. It is marketing that packages the big ship into a phenomenon and a trend, which creates the classics of the times.
But now Zhang Chen dares not think that "Painted Skin" has only exceeded 200 million, not over 300 million, and it is still far from the record of 360 million.
During this period, you can often see exclusive interviews about "Painted Skin" on TV.
"Painted Skin" was born from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". In China, it is a well-known ghost story and has a broad audience base.
At the same time, the ratings of several domestic versions of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" are very good, and "Painted Skin" is one of the most popular units..."
"We were also very useless when we were making it. The original story of "Painted Skin" was a very scary story.
But this is a movie, so it can't be too scary if you pass the review.
But if it is not scary, there will definitely be people disappointment, so we have to have something else to offset this disappointment, so we have specially added the role of a monster catcher in this drama and added a lot of martial arts scenes..."
"Everyone can definitely rest assured about special effects. Nearly 60% of the production costs are spent on special effects production. One of the painted leather masks cost more than 4 million to customize from Hollywood..."
Yuan Baye said: "In terms of martial arts design, we have learned from Hong Kong's "Green Snake" and "Swordsman" and used all the fast-paced fights - full of excitement~"
Yuan Baye said this, and Zhang Chen immediately said: "The Green Snake is a movie I like very much. It is very similar to "Painted Skin", and it also refers to the relationship between the shemale.
My favorite highlights of this movie are: one is the fighting scenes inside, and the other is the portrayal of the banshee.
To a certain extent, "Painted Skin" was influenced by "Green Snake" in both aspects, and everyone can also regard it as a work that pays tribute to "Green Snake"~"
"In another movie "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", I think the fight between the Five Immortal Sect and Japanese Ninjas is the best martial arts design I have ever seen, no one..."
Zhang Chenzhe's unlimited appreciation quickly aroused the curiosity of netizens.
Someone found out "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" and found the part that Zhang Chen said and watched it again.
Then I was shocked.
In the 1990s, could martial arts films be shot like this?
So what happened to martial arts movies in the past two years?
Why did you go backwards?
In fact, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is indeed a milestone.
It is not as good as "New Longmen Inn", but its status is not low.
How awesome is in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer"? Before him, Japan did not promote ninja culture much.
Because in their traditional culture, ninjas cannot be on the table.
It's a despicable sneak attacker~
It was not until the emergence of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" that they suddenly realized that ninja culture can still be promoted like this.
This is completely helping Japan open up a new track.
"The story of "Painted Skin" is too simple~" a reporter asked this question during an interview.
Zhang Chen nodded and admitted: "Yes, the story is very simple. It's just a story of a mistress trying to get ahead.
In fact, the stories in blockbusters are simple, because the story is just a carrier, what really attracts is performance, emotions, costumes and props~”
"But "Crazy Racing"?"
“Crazy Racing” is not a blockbuster~”
Although there are many action scenes in "Painted Skin", the positioning of this drama is that this is an oriental magic romance film.
Yes, you read that right, the main focus is ‘love’~
Instead of a shemale war or a monster hunt~
The purpose is to kill both men and women.
It can be said that the audience of "Painted Skin" is almost all included except for children.
The reason why the child cannot cover it is because he has erotic shows.
And the shots were pretty good.
The scale is not particularly large, but there are not many temptations that should be there.
But this is just in recent years, the review and management have been loose and there is still an opportunity to take advantage of it.
After two years of the "Lust and Caution" incident, it will be impossible for such a scene to happen again.
All of them have to be cut off when you have naked replacements in "Night Banquet".
...
"Painted Skin" and "Golden Armor" are both advancing towards the 300 million mark.
The promotional focus of "Golden Armor" has changed from Gong Huang Zhou Runfa to Brother Wheel.
Brother Wheel has been at its peak in the past two years.
The status is similar to the top stars in later generations, and they are all the first ones.
Around 2003, walking on the streets of the city, you just caught someone and asked, no matter how young or old you didn’t know Jay Chou.
He is really the top star in any era.
A large part of the box office of "Golden Brothers" was contributed by Zhou's fans in the early stage.
Although Jay Chou’s acting skills are not very good, he has worked with well-known directors.
"Initial D" is Liu Weiqiang + Mai Zhaohui;
"Golden Armor" is an old trick boy;
The director of "Slam Dunk" is Zhu Yanping, one of Wanwan's most awesome directors;
Zhang Chen publicly shouted: "Brother Wheel, I have tailored a script for you. In this drama, you are not a prince, nor a racer, nor an athlete, you are just a musician~"
That's right, Zhang Chen is talking about "Explosive Drummer" ~
It is simply tailor-made for Jay Chou.
Who believes that he is a prince?
Is it good to have a play in one second?
But he is a drummer who makes music and doesn't care about it. It's the most natural state to go to that point~
Because he really knows it ~
Zhang Chen's actions are considered a hit.
"Golden Armor" takes advantage of Brother Wheel's popularity~
"Painted Skin" is also rubbed~
...
I have no idea. I want to end it early and start writing "Pacific Rim", but I have no idea.
