Chapter 376 Guan Ling: The actor I hate the most is changing his role
"Within two weeks of release, the box office of "Ip Man 2" exceeded 200 million, and there was a big blowout in the unpopular movie market!"
< br>"Are you really not going to make a sequel? The IP of "Ip Man" has become the most classic IP of Chinese action movies!"
"Donnie Yen triggered a climax of movie consumption, and the national box office statistics in the first two weeks of November were the highest A year-on-year increase of 210% in the same period last year, "Ip Man 2" pushed the market to a high level again! "
"Hong Kong film genre is showing a recovery trend? "Ip Man 2" scripted by Guan Ling and directed by Wilson Yip is full of old Hong Kong movies style, bringing hope of innovation to Hong Kong movies that are currently in the doldrums! "
In fact, the theater chain's bet on the box office of movies after "Tangshan Earthquake" is still in the Lunar New Year period, and "Ip Man 2" is generally in the industry! The analysis is not bad, but the schedule is not very good after all. There are two major Hollywood movies released at the same time. The industry generally estimates that the box office will be about 200 million, which is already excellent.
As a result, "Ip Man 2" has already exceeded industry expectations even before the Hollywood movie was released.
It simply shocked countless people.
And the theaters were completely laughing from ear to ear.
This result far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Because Guan Ling didn't even attend the premiere!
Many people in the industry have realized a problem. Donnie Yen is now an actor who can independently carry the box office, and he is the kind who can carry high box office.
Many film directors and film companies are preparing to contact Donnie Yen to continue developing action films. After all, scripts are easy to come by, but it is too difficult for a kung fu superstar like Donnie Yen.
Now Donnie Yen, under Guan Ling's two scripts, has completely become a master.
Many film companies have seen the box office success of this movie and have already started shooting action movies.
During this period, Donnie Yen must have received a lot of contacts.
This also made him more confident.
During the promotion process, Donnie Yen expressed his attitude again,
“During this period, all the movies in the 'Ip Man' series have been released. I think this is not a good phenomenon. .
Many people are now very interested in Ip Man and Wing Chun. This is a good thing, but the trend it has caused, I think, is very dangerous.
I saw that some people on the Internet misinterpreted my words. I said that I shaped Ip Man according to my own character, and did not think that 'I am Ip Man'.
Of course, I also think what this sentence said, It's not that wrong.
I have established a classic character image for Ip Man, and in the future, I will most likely not continue to shoot movies like "Ip Man 3". ”
The smiling Donnie Yen revealed in the interview that he would not be starring in the third film, and at the same time arranged for his agent to contact Lingyun Media to see if there will be a third film and how to calculate the salary.
< br>Requested that if there is a cooperation, the remuneration needs to be calculated separately.
But Lingyun Media did not give a positive answer to his inquiry.
...
"Rizhao Chongqing". The box office was still a mess, and Wang Xiaoshuai was not immune to the situation of being crushed.
With an investment of more than 20 million, the filming of big-name actors such as Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi finally made the movie with an investment of 20 million. , it only earned 3 million yuan at the box office after ten days of release.
The promotion of "Textile Girl" took a turn, and Wang Quan'an took the film to the Montreal Film Festival.
Many directors believe that this film may receive some honors at film festivals. After all, this film about life in Shaanxi has humanity, the times, and social changes, and is itself a very topical topic.
Whether it is about social reality and people’s emotional struggles, or topics like bathing, they are all plus points for the film festival.
On November 16, "Resident Evil 4" was finally released.
This film adapted from a popular game was rumored to have deleted five minutes of violent and bloody scenes before its release, but it did not affect the rhythm of the narrative. However, the industry is generally not optimistic about its box office results.
As the box office champion within a few weeks of its release in the United States in September, piracy has become rampant as the release date has been delayed.
However, theaters have a trick up their sleeves - the 3D version of Biochemical Zombies, on the Internet, some netizens even said: "If you haven't seen the 3D version of "Resident Evil", you haven't seen the movie."
This has given many viewers expectations.
Furthermore, this movie is the first time that the "Resident Evil" series has appeared on the domestic screen, so many "Resident Evil" fans are ready to contribute their own movie tickets to this movie.
In the first three days of its release, "Resident Evil" grossed 25.48 million at the box office. This is already a good result. After all, piracy has been rampant for a long time.
But "Ip Man 2" There was no absolute pressure.
Immediately afterwards, the release of "Harry Potter 7" turned everyone's attention to this movie, which everyone believed would finally have a chance to compete with "Ip Man 2" for the November schedule championship.
And this movie, as the most important movie, created a miracle in its simultaneous grand premiere around the world.
As a movie that has been anticipated by countless movie fans and book fans for ten years, the movie really set a number of records in its first week of release and made a beautiful turnaround.
In the Mainland, it’s full, full, still full!
Compared with the mediocre sixth part, the seventh part has a tense yet relaxed rhythm, is cruel and dark yet warm and humorous, and is intertwined with each other. Audiences who have read the original work will definitely not understand. strangeness.
Audiences who are not familiar with the book will also be excited by the exciting fights and classic British humor in the film.
The momentum is overwhelming!
As "Ip Man 2" has almost entered its final ten days, the box office has finally become the speed of an old lady walking up the stairs. Although the box office curve is still growing steadily, the rate is already very low.
And "Harry Potter 7" has begun to sweep the army, and the IMAX version also has overwhelming attendance, and it is even said that it is a continuation of the "Avatar" and "Inception" era of hard-to-get tickets.
It can be said that an unstoppable magical trend has set off in the mainland!
As the first part of the final chapter, many people have ardent expectations for it.
The three-day opening weekend grossed 70 million at the box office.
There is a lot of pressure on "Ip Man 2", and the industry is waiting to see the show. Everyone is waiting to see who can come out on top in this period and stand out from the crowd!
In North America, the performance of "Harry Potter 7" is still impressive, with a box office of US$125 million in North America in the first weekend and a global box office of US$330 million!
In North America, it was released on 41,252 screens in the United States, and the number of IMAX screens also set a record, leaving last week's box office champion "Supervillain" far behind. Out of sight.
The film also broke the opening record set by "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which recorded $102.7 million in its opening week and was the only film to have a box office of over 100 million in its opening week. of this series of videos.
It completely ignited the passion of the global film market.
On IMDB, the performance of this movie has far exceeded expectations, and its reputation has exploded. Seven movies have been released, and this one is the only one in the series to score more than eight points.
The rocket-like box office growth rate has left everyone in the industry stunned.
"The best "Harry Potter movie" so far, the wizard completely defeats the zombies! In the remaining nine days of November, can the wizard defeat the Grandmaster?"
In fact, the media all know that "Harry Potter 7"'s crushing of "Resident Evil 4" is visible to the naked eye in film and television.
In its first week of release, the three-day box office of "Harry Potter 7" has exceeded the six-day box office of "Resident Evil 4"!
Of course this is reasonable. After all, the "Resident Evil" series has not been released in China before, and the film itself has far less brand influence and popularity in the minds of ordinary mainland audiences than the "Harry Potter" series. , so it can be considered a normal performance if it failed to beat "Ha 7" at the box office.
The performance of these two movies this week pushed "Ip Man 2" to the third place. ...
“If this continues, it will be difficult for the box office of "Ip Man 2" to exceed 300 million." When Chen Guofu spoke to Guan Ling on the phone, he expressed his worries, < br>
“Yip Weixin is not about directing you after all, and this IMAX method is much easier to make money. This week, only more than 30 million box office is squeezed out, and it will be even lower next week.
After all, the reputation of the two competitors "Resident Evil 4" and "Harry Potter 7" is not bad."
He is not ignorant of current affairs. It seems that now, fortunately, "Ye". Question 2" was released half a month early. Otherwise, if it was flanked by these two movies and had no room for release, the box office results would definitely be much worse than it is now.
Although the subsequent domestic films do not pose any competitive threat, the imported film "Speed" has a stable box office of around 10 million in a single week.
"I have an idea," Guan Ling said, "Anyway, Donnie Yen doesn't want to make a follow-up movie, so let's take this opportunity to promote it and see if the box office can increase."
"Guan Director, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“You are the producer, I am the screenwriter, and Wilson Yip is the director. We don’t seem to have any opinions on whether there should be a third part. He is an actor, but I am. The follow-up was decided, and while the media claimed that he was not planning to film the third and fourth parts, he asked his agent and the company to discuss privately whether they could continue to increase the salary if they cooperated again.
These are all things. It's a small move, but it doesn't matter. After all, no one wants to work for the company at a low price. It's reasonable to ask for a market price, but this look has a threatening tone.
Ye Weixin didn't dare to say anything to him. Are you fooling me?"
Guan Ling smiled and said to Chen Guofu, "I hate this kind of two-faced pretentious person the most, and he is Ye Wen. Let me see, there is no Zhang Tufu. , is there a hairy pig? The role has been changed!"
"Will this change of role have an impact on the box office of future movies?" Chen Guofu hesitated.
"Will it happen? Is it that important?" Guan Ling would not be a fool and think that changing roles would have no impact on the movie. "It's just that this industry cannot have only one Donnie Yen, otherwise he will I thought China’s action movies had to be made by him.”
When Chen Guofu heard what Guan Ling said, he understood.
Nowadays, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are at the top, and they are not considered young and strong,
Donnie Yen is indeed the only choice for action movies, which is why his salary is currently called "cosmic level".
At least among action stars, apart from Cheng Long and Jet Li, he is already the tallest actor among them.
"Director Guan, are you going to let us release this news, trigger a wave of popularity, and increase the box office?"
"Don't worry about it, I will do it myself."
Guan Ling hung up the phone and logged into Weibo.
……
Guan Ling hasn’t posted on Weibo for a long time.
After going online this time, he checked the hot searches on Weibo. Wang Xiaofei and Big S, who were causing embarrassment in the future, got engaged in Beijing. It was said to be a flash marriage.
Justin Bieber's songs had several good entries on Weibo,
Guan Ling was in a trance, not sure what year it was today.
And Justin has also become the new favorite of the post-90s generation. Jay Chou, who was very popular before, is now appearing on various variety shows to host. The mainstays of the Chinese music scene all have movie dreams. Tao Zhe claims that he is from a major, saying that he His acting level is comparable to that of an actor.
In order to promote "The Green Hornet", Jay Chou went to all major variety shows and devoted all his efforts to promote it.
Many people criticize these male singers for not doing their job properly and just talking nonsense. The only songs on the Internet this year are "Divine Comedy" and "Legend", which is a pity!
I checked Weibo for a while, but it didn’t make much sense.
Guan Ling also read a piece of news about "Scarlet Witch", "Liu Yifei appeared at the Beijing Airport, suspected of flying to Hollywood! Could it be that Liu Yifei also has a role in "Scarlet Witch"?!"
< br>Haven’t heard of it? Guan Ling was stunned for a moment. Didn't this guy come to inspect the post?
He didn't take it too seriously, but wrote down his decision on the follow-up of the "Ip Man" series on Weibo.
"Ip Man 2" is currently achieving good results, and I would like to thank the audience for their love.
Many viewers have sent private messages asking me whether I want to continue filming the sequel. That is natural, as As a Chinese master figure, Ip Man deserves more exposure.
But since Donnie Yen has stated many times in interviews that he does not want to appear in the filming of subsequent movies, Lingyun Media decided to change the role.
In the future, the Ip Man series will continue to be filmed for three more parts. I hope the audience will support it! "
There are a lot of words, and the matter is quite big.
After the publication, Guan Ling continued to shoot "Scarlet Witch".
Fan Bingbing watched helplessly Guan Ling's announcement made me feel shocked.
A leading actor with a box office of more than 200 million?
Throw it away?
What's wrong with giving me some money?
Are all capitalists so rude?
“Director Guan, if you do this, the circle will explode. "Fan Bingbing suddenly felt that the man in front of him was more powerful than in bed.
"Less bombing? Donnie Yen must have exploded! "Guan Ling snorted.
...
Guan Ling went off to do his own thing.
As expected, the circle exploded.
Donnie Yen is celebrating with a group of his brothers that the box office of his movie has reached 250 million in twenty-one days.
“Everyone, you can choose any place, whether it is Southeast Asia or Europe, I will come to see Director Ye, and then we will celebrate together!”
Donnie Yen showed his white teeth and smiled broadly. .
Suddenly, his box door was pushed open by his agent.
Liang Ting saw the room full of people, thought about it for a moment, and leaned into Zhen Zidan's ear.
“Something happened.”
“What happened? The box office was surpassed by a Hollywood movie?” Donnie Yen disagreed, what can be done? The worst it can be is a runner-up, but can it be surpassed by two movies at the same time?
"Director Guan said that there are three more films of Ip Man, and since you don't want to film them, he will change the role."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Zidan's smile completely froze on his face.
I was confused for a moment.
