Chapter 346 Top Three
This year’s Sina Festival can be said to be the most troublesome for Sina’s senior executives.
Because the netizen selection was canceled this year, many special events occurred.
So it is more difficult to take care of awards in the entertainment industry.
COO Du Hong has two problems.
First, we must take into account the overall situation. What is the overall situation?
"Mei Lanfang" is not only a film competing for the Olympics, but also the most important official film of the year.
So there must be a prize, and it cannot be too small.
But the box office was only a small amount, and its reputation was not as good as "Take a Bow" and "The Wind", two movies with special themes.
If the grand prize goes to "Mei Lanfang", let alone Rongchen Pictures, I am afraid that even thousands of Sina netizens will not agree.
The second thing is that the stars are bright and congratulations come from all directions.
Then you must give full play to the Virgin style of universal love.
But the most eye-catching company in the entertainment industry this year is undoubtedly Rongchen Pictures.
Just talking about the box office, Rongchen Pictures' three dramas, "Take a Bow," "The Wind," and "Love Is Not Blind" will most likely be among the top three in this year's box office list.
At this special moment of the global financial crisis in 2008, his contribution to Chinese films is self-evident.
And the most important point is that Du Hong knows that Cao Cao and Director Li have an irreconcilable relationship, so he cannot wrong his own people no matter what.
Du Hong gave the finalized list to Cao Guowei.
Unexpectedly, Cao Guowei had no objection and said that he would personally invite Li Chen.
Cao Guowei quickly called Li Chen.
“Chinese film promoters? Me and Longli? Are you kidding me?”
"What, do you have any objections?" Cao Guowei said with a smile.
"Of course I have opinions. Why not give it to Zhang Manyu for Longli? Lao Cao, can Sina keep up with the times."
"They have all become Singaporeans. Other awards That’s all, but the Chinese film promoters should at least be Chinese.”
“Among the female stars, Zhang Manyu has the largest donation amount, which is four times that of Gongli.”
“ Is the global influence of Europe’s three best-selling actresses not as good as that of Longli? ”
"This year's "Pamento" and "The Wind" have set records one after another."
"The most important thing is that they have always been Chinese."
"If you think of it, it will be , I will not support you."
Cao Guowei made Li Chen unable to say a word in a barrage of words.
Unexpectedly, Li Chen turned against him faster than turning over a book. He originally thought this was nothing.
Because Li Chen didn't care about these things, he didn't expect such a result.
If Li Chen didn't come, Sina's grand ceremony would most likely become a target of criticism.
Actress of the Year: Zhou Xun.
Popular singer of the year: Liu Yifei.
Popular film of the year: "Let's Take a Bow"
These awards are more or less related to Li Chen, and they really swayed Cao Guowei.
Cao Guowei had no choice but to call Du Hong after hanging up the phone.
"Replace Gongli with Zhang Manyu!" Cao Guowei ordered with a dark face.
Du Hong understood everything in his heart in an instant: "I understand, Director Cao."
This little thing is nothing to Cao Guowei.
Li Chen is his most solid partner.
Providing financial support for his next MBO is a prerequisite for him to become the true leader of Sina.
He also pointed out the direction for the future of the blog, and he is a like-minded partner.
"33 Days of Love" is full of momentum.
The second day Friday box office: 25.5 million
Saturday: 33.5 million
Sunday: 31.5 million
The box office in the first four days was 112 million.
"Mei Lanfang" is released at 6pm on Thursday, one week earlier than "Love Is Not Blind".
The box office in the first week was 43.5 million.
This week, I received a strong attack from the dark horse "33 Days After Love".
The current total box office is 89.25 million, and the daily box office has dropped to around 3 million.
The box office of another film, "Women Are Not Bad", was only 5.35 million in its first week.
Several other films released in November had to be canceled one after another.
Bald Xu's "Hong Kong Road" finally made a box office of 250 million despite negative reviews, firmly establishing himself as a great director.
China Film, Yinghuang and Guangfa held a celebration banquet for Bald Xu.
But Han Sanping did not show up.
The total box office of "Twilight" was 58 million.
But the global box office has exceeded 300 million US dollars, and many domestic filmmakers are puzzled.
As for "Peach Blossom" and "Love Call 2", one is less than 20 million, and the other is just over 20 million.
The knock-on effect of this is that major theater chains will continue to increase the film schedule of "33 Days of Love", and will inevitably reduce the number of screenings of "Mei Lanfang".
But Director Chen’s bad luck doesn’t stop there. The sudden outbreak of the Zhang Guanli Dai incident dealt a fatal blow to "Mei".
My brother’s fans launched an aggressive boycott of “Plum”.
This sudden change made Chen Hong wonder if Li Chen was behind it.
But then I thought about it, "33 Days of Love" was doing so well at the box office that there was no need to resort to these little tricks.
If Li Chen really wanted to cause trouble behind her back, there was no need to remind her of the premiere of "Plum" that day.
Some people are happy and some are sad.
The world premiere celebration of "If You Are the One" was held at the Hangzhou Grand Theater.
Although it is called a "global festival", in fact only some of Huayi's own celebrities were present.
Interestingly, the entire party did not look like a premiere celebration at all, but more like a celebration party after the premiere. The problem is that the movie will not be released until the 17th.
Feng Xiaogang can not only direct, but also act.
On the same day, he apologized to the audience for having too many advertisements, and at the same time he admitted that he had been offended by both sides because of the advertisements.
It is reported that the amount of advertising in the entire "If You Are the One" has reached 20 million yuan.
In other words, half of the investment in this film was recovered before it was released, so it is not too much for him to hold a "celebration party" in Hangzhou.
"If You Are the One" has received rave reviews on the Internet, which is very similar to the grand occasion before the release of "Hong Kong Road".
"Ip Man 2" and "Red Cliff" have also begun to vigorously promote.
Wu Jing's "Spike" is not as wealthy as these two blockbusters, and there is basically no news about "Spike" online.
It seems to be a common practice for action stars to turn directors.
But currently only Big Brother Long is successful.
Li Lianjie also tried to become a director, but he only directed one movie and then quit.
Although Real Bullet has been released frequently in the past two years, it is a pity that the mainland box office does not buy it.
The acceptance speech at the Academy Awards ceremony for "The Fuse" said that he had found his own way, which was just talking to himself.
Wu Jing called Li Chen early, hoping that Li Chen could come to the premiere of his "Spike".
The Lunar New Year blockbusters come and go, and Wu Jing almost doubts his life after being replaced by these big directors.
Surviving in the cracks, he finally chose to release it before Christmas.
Li Chen had a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and he didn't have time to go to many award ceremonies. He asked Yu Miao to accept the awards for "Mr. Fashion" and "Person of the Year" on his behalf.
It was naturally impossible for him to go to the premiere of "Wolf Fang".
Pour some cold water on Wu Jing again?
Wu Jing was worried about gains and losses. He hoped that Li Chen would come, but was also afraid of Li Chen coming. In the end, when Yu Miao came, everyone was happy.
At the premiere of "If You Are the One" in Beijing, Yu Miao came back to complain to Li Chen. Maybe she didn't know how to appreciate it, but she really didn't find it very funny.
Li Chen couldn’t do nothing regardless of whether Yu Miao’s words followed his heart or the truth.
"Since it's not good-looking, are the film critics raised by the company mute?"
Yu Miao understood. At first, she was worried that her boss would have scruples, but now that she got Shang Fang's sword, she naturally felt at ease. .
On the first day of its release, "If You Are the One" received rave reviews and some discordant voices suddenly appeared intermittently.
Southern Weekly reported
"Is "If You Are the One" sincere? Audiences who have watched the movie "Marriage Notice" will inevitably feel that the first half seems familiar.
"Congratulations on the correct answer, the director of that film, Chen Guofu , it is the producer and story of this film. ”
“The worst thing is that I was full of distracting thoughts while watching this movie, and I even competed with my colleagues on who could see more advertisements in it. ”
“Now I will count advertisements for Teacher Feng for free”
Shancheng Evening News
""Dao Feng & Uncle Ge" have always had a correct attitude towards serving the people, and they have developed an indestructible body during the 12-year journey of making domestic New Year films.
It is not difficult to win the laughter of the audience and the box office with the "Feng Ge combination + fairy beauties + comedy sketches", so even if it is released in a hurry, "If You Are the One" can already be regarded as a standard work. "
" Of course, there are no surprises”
Well-known film critic’s blog
"If You Are the One is terrible, Feng Xiaogang is very lucky!"
"Why do you say it is terrible?"
"1. The subject matter is terrible: picking up people's wisdom"
"2. The script is terrible: the plot is mediocre”
“3. Advertising blockbuster: Whoever sees it knows it.”
"It claims to have an investment of 50 million, but this kind of movie can sustain an investment of 40 million. And the advertising revenue alone among these investments is as high as about 25 million."
"It is not unfair to Director Feng to say that this is an advertising blockbuster. Although Director Feng's public apology before the movie was released was just a publicity and public relations method and had nothing to do with the sincerity of the movie itself."
These negative reviews appeared on the first day of the release, which made Wang Zhonglei seriously suspect that someone was involved. Behind the scenes.
But he was not sure whether it was Li Chen who did it.
After all, Huayi doesn’t have many friends but many enemies.
Bona, Rays, and Orange are all potential opponents.
But when Yang Siwei saw it, he knew it.
It seems that his boss took action.
Yang Siwei was happy and shouted in his heart that the boss was righteous.
The first-day box office of "If You Are the One" is newly released: 16.5 million.
Although it is much higher than "Assembly Number", it also surpasses "Mei Lanfang"!
But it really lost to "33 Days of Love", but it also refreshed Feng Xiaogang's personal record.
Wang Zhonglei didn’t know whether to be happy or unhappy.
But everyone at Rongchen Pictures must be happy, because this year’s top three box office entries will be taken by their family.
