Chapter 32 Zhang Weiping
After it became popular, the box office was really strong.
The conservative figure estimated by Dong Jianqiang was 6 million, but in fact, the box office on Saturday was 7 million, and it reached 8.2 million on Sunday.
The box office of "Dark Invasion" shows a strong growth trend. The attendance rate of almost every show can reach more than 90%. It is truly hard to get a ticket.
There are long queues at the entrance of various cinemas, most of them are buying "Dark Invasion". There are even scalpers in popular cinemas like Wudaokou.
Everyone is curious about what kind of movie Fan Binbin loves to watch.
The media has been promoting it for the past two days. A movie with a brand-new cast, "Dark Invasion" actually bucked the trend and grew under the attack of two blockbusters, becoming a dark horse at the box office. It received an astonishing 1,980 in the first three days of the weekend. million box office.
19.8 million, but the box office in these three days probably ranks among the top 20 box office of the year.
Today, the box office potential of "Troy" has basically been exhausted, "House of Flying Daggers" has not yet been released, and the remaining ten days of vacuum period are almost all for "Dark Invasion".
The low-budget film "Dark Invasion" has become a dark horse at the box office...
With a box office of 20 million in three days, "House of Flying Daggers" may face a strong opponent...
Student directors create miracles...
A head-on showdown between small budget and big production...
< br>The debut film of a genius director has become the biggest dark horse at the box office...
"Dark Invasion" has been heavily reported, and Zhang Chen has also become famous, earning the name of 'genius director'.
...
Huayi Brothers
The Wang brothers and Feng Pants have just finished watching "Dark Invasion". As professional filmmakers, they watch movies every day.
Not to mention all the movies that are currently being released, they will definitely watch any of them that are somewhat popular, just to analyze the market.
“This movie is well made. It is a standard commercial film with a Hollywood style. No wonder it has become a dark horse at the box office.”
Feng Pengtang was generous with his praise. As a well-known commercial director in China, his words must carry a lot of weight.
Of course, he would not say this in front of the media. They are all his own people now, so of course it will be okay no matter what he says.
"The film director is said to be a Nortel student who has not yet graduated." Wang Zhonglei looked at the other two people and said.
"Newcomer? Then you can try to sign him. This person's shooting techniques are very sophisticated, he doesn't look like a newcomer at all, and his choice of subject matter is also clever. In terms of commercialization, many domestic directors' films are Not as good as this "Dark Invasion""
Feng Pants had already greeted the two kings and was ready to leave Huayi. He and Zhang Guoli jointly opened a company called Taihe Mining, and planned to become their own bosses.
But I don’t mind giving my old club a clear path before leaving.
Actually, he did not say anything. In terms of commercialization level, not only many domestic directors cannot compare with this newcomer, but he himself may not be able to compare with him either.
My family knows my own affairs.
The outside world’s comments about him are actually correct: Feng Xiaogang’s works cannot cross the Yangtze River.
To put it bluntly, those New Year films he shot are Beijing-style comedies, which people in the north can still accept, but once they arrive in the south, they will become acclimatized.
But this situation does not exist in "Dark Invasion". Not only does it cater to both North and South, but there is no cultural barrier even in the whole world.
The Wang brothers did not expect Feng Xiaogang to have such a high opinion of this dark horse director, but they did not express any doubt.
Feng Xiaogang’s professional ability is beyond doubt. The development history of Huayi Brothers is the development history of Feng Xiaogang.
Now that Feng Xiaogang is leaving, they urgently need to find a replacement, someone who can succeed Feng Xiaogang and continue to help Huayi create miracles.
Wang Zhongjun: "Zhonglei, go get in touch with Zhang Chen and see if he has the possibility of joining Huayi."...
In an office building in Chaoyang District, Zhang Weiping is being interviewed by Southern Weekend.
The publicity work for "House of Flying Daggers" has reached its peak stage, and promotional materials about "House of Flying Daggers" are everywhere.
Zhang Weiping is full of confidence. Today, Lao Mouzi is the only one in the country. No one dares to face him head-on. He is truly invincible in the world.
“What are the box office expectations for House of Flying Daggers?”
"Our goal is 400 million. The previous box office of "Hero" was 250 million. This time "House of Flying Daggers" will only be better."
"400 million? No domestic film has ever reached this level. Exceed this box office."
"Yes, indeed not, but Zhang Yimou can, because he is Zhang Yimou. His record can only be broken by him.
It is no exaggeration to say that he. It is the number one in the country. Look, after our "House of Flying Daggers" was announced to be released in July, which director dares to compete at the same time, because they know that they are no match at all."
Zhang Weiping is as arrogant as ever, with a stern look. , as if he had the attitude of "I have the talent in hand, I have the world", and those who didn't know thought that the movie was shot by him.
However, he does have the capital to be arrogant. No one can break the box office record of "Hero" of 250 million yuan to this day. There are only a few members in the 100 million yuan club.
"Do you know "Dark Invasion"?"
Catching the loopholes in Zhang Weiping's words, the reporter immediately became angry.
“I don’t know.” Zhang Weiping answered simply. According to his character, he could say he knew or didn’t know.
This is how Zhang Weiping criticized Wang Yuelun in his previous life. When "Panda Heroes" was released, reporters interviewed Wang Yuelun and asked him to evaluate "Three Guns".
Wang Yuelun was too young, and he spoke a few words for a moment, which probably offended Zhang Weiping.
The reporter turned around and started trouble with Zhang Weiping again. Zhang Weiping asked directly: "Who is Wang Yuelun?"
"Dark Invasion" is a movie released in July. The director is Beijing A sophomore student in TV, the box office in the first weekend was close to 20 million, and he was called a dark horse at the box office. "
The reporter consciously guided, how could Zhang Weiping not know the reporter's sinister intentions, but he didn't care.
He has Zhang Yimou in his hand. He dares to challenge Han Sanping. A Nortel student is nothing.
And this "Dark Invasion" really made him a little unhappy these past two days.
According to Zhang Weiping's plan, the entire month of July should be "Ambush from Flying Daggers" and there should not be a second voice. For this reason, he prepared an overwhelming publicity plan.
But "Dark Invasion" happened to pop up. In the flood of publicity for "House of Flying Daggers", we can always see its figure from time to time.
It's like rat droppings in a pot of good soup, it's off-putting.
Today, a reporter happened to ask about it, so he just said a few words to vent his anger.
"What kind of good works can a sophomore student produce? It's just like playing house..."
"The name "Dark Invasion" just doesn't work when I hear it, and I feel a sense of inferiority..."
“Horror movies are all pretentious...”
“20 million for the first weekend, 2,000 is not a lot, why is it a dark horse...”
“Genius Director? Director Pichai is pretty much..."
Zhang Weiping's unabashed disparagement made the reporter immediately excited. What he wanted was a scolding battle. It didn't matter whether the two sides were equal or not, as long as there was a scolding battle, there would be sales.
