Sina Entertainment News
"Huayi announced that the first-day box office of Feng Xiaogang's new work "TS Earthquake" released yesterday (including zero-point screenings) Box office) was 34.2 million yuan."
"This figure exceeded the first-day box office of "Transformers 2" of 33.71 million yuan and the first-day box office of "Avatar" of 33.03 million yuan. Second to the popular "Passengers" and "Inception", it became the third highest-grossing Chinese film on its first day."
"Wang Zhonglei claimed that "500 million box office" is not a slogan!"
"Industry insiders predict that starting from this year, "500 million box office" will be the standard for measuring a blockbuster movie."
" The huge sales of "Big Earthquake" may cause Huayi's stock to rise in the short term. "
"Big Earthquake" made Zhang Jingchu, who was banned by the Beijing wife group, and Shitou Man, who was not even considered a second-tier actor, completely blown away.
I don’t know how many press releases Huayi bought, and the media boasted that Stone Man was about to enter the front line.
On the first day of "Earthquake", the box office of "Passengers" finally dropped to double digits.
The box office of "Inception" was also 5 million less than the 32 million the day before.
The entire Huayi and the "Big Earthquake" crew seemed to be in a state of excitement.
The media all sang its praises.
He even shouted out a voice that went straight to the hot search!
""Earthquake" should win an Oscar!"
Everyone knows that "The Hawthorn Tree" was deliberately adjusted for the Oscars.
When this sound came out, the media with a keen sense of smell immediately smelled the smoke.
Lao Mouzi is now in a powerful alliance with Xiao Lizi.
Xiao Lizi is more lethal than Zhang Dapao.
The media called Rong Chen Pictures in droves, hoping that Li Chen would respond to such calls online.
Wang Zhonglei smiled as if he was half-smiling, and his mouth was crooked.
“I want to see what happens to him!”
“Zhonglei, are you the one behind the scenes?” Feng Xiaogang was a little displeased.
“Not entirely, this is also the voice of the public, Xiaogang.”
Feng Xiaogang said with a stern face: "Zhonglei, I have told you many times not to participate."
"Why do you bother!"
Wang Zhonglei snorted coldly: " If we don’t go, we won’t go!”
“But Zhang Yimou is Li Chen’s man now, and we can’t let him go if we don’t go!”
Wang Zhonglei is completely at odds with Li Chen. .
Splendid Diamond
Facing the swarm of reporters, Li Chen was not in the company at all.
Yu Miao knew the boss's strategy, so she didn't make any reply yet.
Let "The Great Earthquake" drift for a few days.
Feng Xiaogang has indeed completed a magnificent turn.
"Earthquake" exceeded 100 million in three days. Currently, only "Passengers" is the only domestic film to achieve this feat.
On the day of the premiere of "Beauty Boss", Li Chen did not come.
Jingtian was disappointed.
"Tiantian, it's okay, Director Li is probably being chased by the media." Lu Zheng smiled and comforted his niece.
Although Li Chenren did not go, he was also paying attention to the premiere of "Beauty Boss".
Kageda, who has big wavy hair, seems to have offended the stylist, which is really eye-catching.
"Big Earthquake" spread like a virus, breaking 200 million in five days.
On par with "Passengers", "Inception" and "Avatar".
Yang Siwei called: "Boss, I can't hold myself back anymore." Li Chen was noncommittal: "Direct this drama well, don't let me down."
< br>
Yang Siwei smiled and said: "Don't worry, boss, it's a true story, performed with all my heart."
Five days after "Earthquake" was released, there is finally another voice.
Metropolitan Online Report
“The Great Earthquake, which is known as the first authentic I-MAX production in China, was released for five days and made a huge box office of 200 million yuan.”
< br>“But some viewers questioned the false box office of “Earthquake”!”
"Ms. Li, an audience member in Hebei Province, claimed that "Earthquake" is not her favorite subject, and of course "Inception" is not her favorite."
"But comparing the two, she would rather watch "Earthquake" Leonardo's "Inception", but when she went to the cinema, almost all of them were "Earthquake". "Inception" was only scheduled for two shows, and they were after 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., so she had no choice. I only watched "Big Earthquake" with my boyfriend!"
Wang Zhonglei received a call from Huayi's publicity director.
"Mr. Wang, something happened. There is a hot search article about our high box office that is highly discussed."
"Several media have reprinted it. I suspect someone is causing trouble behind the scenes. ! ”
When Wang Zhonglei heard this, the first person he suspected was Li Chen.
In the past few days, Li Chen has been too quiet, so quiet that it was scary.
Let’s just not comment on the Oscar issue.
But "Earthquake" overshadowed "Inception", so it would be too abnormal for him to remain silent.
"I understand, you handle it according to the process first, and I will take a look and then talk."
At this time, the Internet is full of heated discussions among netizens.
“Xiao Lizi was murdered. I also want to watch “Inception”. Whenever I go to the cinema, I always book the theater to watch “Earthquake”!”
“Who says it’s not the case? They are all reserved, and there are companies and institutions one after another, and there is no room for "Inception" at all!"
"You have to fly out of Hebei Province or directly out of the mainland to watch "Inception"!
Wang Zhonglei became more and more sweaty as he watched.
Nowadays, no one in China supervises the box office, and box office statistics are based on what the film producers say.
“The box office of “Earthquake” was fraudulent, and DiCaprio was poisoned!” It immediately became a hot topic.
Now the media is more like giving blood, contacting Li Chen from all directions.
Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun also exchanged views on this matter.
"Sanping, isn't Li Chen behind this?" Ren Zhonglun was very suspicious, but had no evidence.
Han Sanping didn't take it seriously: "So what? Don't you and I still know whether the news on the Internet is true?"
Ren Zhonglun smiled and said: "That's true! It's good to be young. He has sharp edges and corners, and he can do whatever he wants, unlike you and me, who have too many restrictions."
The two producers of "Inception" were discussing Li Chen.
Li Chen also responded positively to the media.
This exclusive naturally goes to Sina.
The Sina reporter interviewed Li Chen on the phone and hung up the phone. The Sina reporter suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Today’s phone interview was bound to go viral. He had to catch up first to avoid the hot search crashing again.
"Li Chen is not optimistic about "Earthquake" winning the Olympics!" An eye-catching title was the first to hit the hot search.
"Li Chen accepted an exclusive telephone interview with this reporter today. He said that "TS Earthquake" has not been warmed up internationally and has not participated in any international film festivals."
"Another On the one hand, the judges of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film have to watch sixty or seventy films. They are also very "powerful" and will pay special attention to the works of famous directors and masters. "
"If you have never heard of it, you may stop watching it after 20 minutes. Currently, the only directors with such influence in China are Li Chen, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jia Zhangke."< br>
“Feng Xiaogang is not included in this list.”
“In addition, Li Chen also bluntly said that the scheduling rate of a commercial movie should be based on the box office.”
“Theatres Market rules should be followed. Large-scale bookings are meaningless to the development of China’s film industry.”
