Chapter 623 Red classic, explosive box office

Chapter 623 Red classic, explosive box office

One of the giants who had locked in the Lunar New Year box office has fallen.

La Peikang, who came to the premiere, looked unhappy.

——This was originally the project led by Han Sanping when he was in office, but the blame fell on him.

No one was blind enough to bring up this matter in front of La Peikang.

Everyone discussed it privately, and on the surface, nothing happened.

Zhou Yutang's EQ must be fine. He just greeted and said hello, and didn't even mention the "Xian Qin" project.

Soon.

Everyone in the venue focused their attention on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

This movie is also one of the "Three Giants of Lunar New Year".

There were no fancy performances. Director Xu Ke, along with Zhang Hanyu, Liang Jiahui, Reyiza, Wang Kai, Chen Xiao, Tong Yaya and other main creators of the crew, talked about the whole process of filming on stage.

"It was not easy to shoot this movie. Mr. Zhou did a lot of work behind the scenes, including the top CG team of Vision Media."

"My personal health also had some problems during the filming process. Fortunately, the final film basically achieved the ideal effect."

The genius director Xu Ke did not forget to advertise the Northeast: "The snow-capped mountains in the Northeast are very beautiful. If you have the opportunity, you must go to appreciate the forest and snow."

"Thank you Mr. Zhou and Director Xu for giving me the opportunity to act in this movie."

Tong Yaya, who is already a wife, has a small dimple on both sides of her cheeks when she smiles, which makes her look very charming: "Little White Dove is my father's goddess, and I can be regarded as honoring my ancestors."

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", a red classic, has a special status in the hearts of the older generation of Chinese people.

Zhang Hanyu, Kaikai Wang, Chen Xiao, Reyiza and others also talked about their feelings.

Entering the film screening session.

A brief introduction to the background of the story.

The camera pulled everyone's thoughts back to the era of the north wind and the snow-covered mountains.

Kaikai Wang, who is upright, is a perfect image of an old cadre.

Tong Yaya's simplicity and purity, Reyiza's flirtation and charm that broke through the boundaries of previous images, well demonstrated her acting skills.

Zhang Hanyu went up the mountain to present the map, and exchanged jargon with the bandits in the mountain village. The movie gradually got better.

"A cloud in the northwest sky, a crow fell into a group of phoenixes, the room was full of heroes, who is the king and who is the minister."

"The king of heaven covers the earth!"

"The pagoda suppresses the river monster!"

"Mohamoha!"

"No one has a home when talking at noon."

"Why are you blushing!?"

"Refreshed!"

"."

"Wow, this part is shot so well!"

Zhou Xun, who came to support the movie, saw this jargon dialogue and felt it was very refreshing, but he didn't understand its meaning. He whispered:

"Boss Zhou, what does this mean?"

"Read more books when you have nothing to do. It will be good for you."

Zhou Yutang teased her a little, and then briefly explained the jargon to her.

The tone of the whole movie is fierce and sturdy.

After more than two hours of film screening, the audience's first feeling after watching the movie was only pleasure, so much so that some people held their urine after watching the movie, squeezed their legs together, and hurried to the toilet to relieve their bladders.

Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Chen Kexing and other big directors were also on the scene, and everyone had different thoughts.

Their eyes were all cast on Xu Ke and Zhou Yutang who was chatting and laughing with him.

"This movie will start at least 800 million, and maybe more than 1 billion."

Feng Xiaogang said to Xu Fan beside him, with a look of realization and envy in his tone.

Now without a 10 billion box office performance, it is not too embarrassing to call yourself a top director in China.

He dreams of making a big wave and reviving the reputation of a big director.

"Xu Ke is still as good as ever."

Chen Kaige took a deep look at Xu Ke who was talking to Zhou Yutang, and then sighed to his wife beside him.

"Brother Kai, I believe you can do it too."

Chen Hong could feel her husband's melancholy of being unappreciated, so she stroked his palm and comforted him softly.

Listening to the long-lasting thunderous applause in his ears, Zhou Yutang quietly smiled.

It's settled.

This kind of vast and vast Jianghu flavor, coupled with the red classic story and top special effects.

Even if there are some minor flaws, it won't have much impact.

Of course, the most important thing is to thank Wu Baige.

If the total score of this movie can be given 8 points, then with the background of Wu Baige's "The Crossing", it can at least reach 9 points.

After the movie was over, the reporter found Zhou Yutang and asked: "Mr. Zhou, can I ask what your box office expectations are for this movie?"

"I think, conservatively, 1 billion box office."

Zhou Yutang smiled calmly: "Of course, I don't have the final say, and it depends on the audience's feedback."

Okay, 1 billion at the beginning, right?

The reporters at the scene were also happy. Isn't tomorrow's breaking news settled?

There was an uproar at the scene.

Although the Chinese film market has begun to take off, there are still very few movies that can really break the 1 billion box office.

But on second thought.

But I don't think there is anything wrong.

Seven out of ten movies that break the 1 billion box office have something to do with Zhou Yutang.

It was the Jiangdong Grand Commander who created the 1 billion box office era.

He even pulled the depth of the Chinese film box office to 2 billion. He has the confidence to say this!

After the premiere, the media reporters present each received a red envelope.

A reception was also arranged.

Everyone is busy socializing and entertaining.

Zhou Yutang unexpectedly encountered a round-faced young man who came up and offered a toast: "Mr. Zhou, I want to toast you."

At first glance, it seemed a bit familiar, and my mind turned slightly, and I immediately remembered it.

"Xie Miao, you performed well in this drama."

Zhou Yutang took the initiative and said: "Leave your contact information."

"."

Xie Miao was stunned for a long time without reacting.

"WeChat?"

Zhou Yutang reminded.

"Okay, okay, I'll scan you."

Xie Miao excitedly took out her phone, with trembling hands, scanned the QR code and added Zhou Yutang's WeChat account.

I don’t know if the red wine was too strong, but that round face turned red.

There were many artists at the reception, and most of them were first- and second-tier celebrities in the industry.

Seeing that Zhou Yutang actually added the contact information of this little-known person, I was indescribably envious.

“Honey, I added Zhou Yutang’s WeChat account today!”

At the cocktail party, big names gathered and people were socializing until the end. No one noticed Xie Miao, the little Kalami.

He drank some wine and asked his wife to pick her up. After getting in the car, he couldn't wait to share it with her.

"Me too."

Xie Miao's wife, He Yanni, clenched the steering wheel with both hands. The female driver drove late and was a little nervous.

"ah?"

Xie Miao was slightly stunned.

"Ah, what, I acted in "Sword and Sword III", you forgot?"

He Yanni looked forward and laughed: "Later, I acted in "The Weaver Girl" with Shi Shi. I added her WeChat account, as well as Hu Ge, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan's WeChat account."

"Honey, your connections are so strong."

"We are so different in level that we can't talk together at all."

He Yanni stopped the car in front of the traffic light: "Besides, I'm not taking any roles now, but I usually look at their social media, which is quite interesting."

"Honey, thank you for your hard work."

Xie Miao lowered his head and sighed.

From falling in love with He Yanni to getting married and then having children.

My wife has really sacrificed a lot for this family, and now she is basically withdrawing from the circle.

He only knows kung fu and his education is not high. No matter how you look at it, he is the type with no future.

"What do you mean, we are a family."

"Yes, we are a family."

Xie Miao's eyes gradually became firm: "I will definitely let you live a good life."

"It's good like this now."

He Yanni continued to start the car, and something suddenly occurred to her, and she looked a little excited: "I heard that Boss Zhou has two accounts. Usually his private number does not add people. Tonight he took the initiative to add you on WeChat. Maybe he will add you in the future." I have a project and I’m looking for you.”

There is never a shortage of beauties around Zhou Yutang.

After the reception, we went back to Zeng Li's house. When we talked about Xie Miao, Zeng Li always had a strange feeling.

"This person looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere."

"Have you not seen the movie "Letter to Dad" filmed with Kung Fu Emperor and Master Yu Rongguang?"

"Oh, I remembered it."

The beauty in green suddenly nodded: "I remember, he started out as a child star. He must have filmed several Hong Kong action movies. He has a good foundation in kung fu. Why is there no news about him recently?"

"When child stars grow up, it's not easy to be popular."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "In the end, only one Yang Mi managed to get ahead."

They say you have to become famous early, especially in the entertainment industry.

Da Mimi made her debut as a child star, and in Zhou Xingxing's "Su Qier", she was so cute that it cost her her life.

Xie Miao was also very cute when she was little.

A round little head and a pair of big black eyes.

After "The Five New Shaolin Patriarchs", he starred in several Hong Kong movies, and then starred in "Letter to Dad" with the Kung Fu Emperor, gaining a certain degree of popularity.

However, at that time, after discussion with Xie Miao’s parents, they decided to let him return to school for education.

As a result, his studies were delayed and his college entrance examination results were not satisfactory. When he re-entered this circle, his exposure was gone and he had to start from scratch again.

This time he played Ma Baoguo in "Take the Tiger Mountain", and Xu Ke's feedback was that his performance was pretty good.

"Do you think highly of him?"

"There are too few stars in the mainland who can play."

Zhou Yutang thought of Xie Miao's vigorous figure, and smiled calmly: "Only one Wu Jing can carry the banner. Zhao Wenzhuo has not followed the path well, so he is considered useless. This Xie Miao is steady and stable. If there is an opportunity, we can train him."

""The Taiping Wheel Part 1" received dismal reviews at the box office, and Wu Baige has exhausted all his talents!"

"The genius director Xu Ke fired the first shot of the New Year, and Zhou Yutang boasted that the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" exceeded 1 billion!"

The next day, the news that received the most attention was still the sinking of the Eastern Titanic.

The audience probably wants to see where the bottom line of this movie is.

Wu Baige did not disappoint everyone, with a box office of 65 million in the first weekend. The figures were so dismal that it made the producers doubt their lives.

Even the loyal fans of director Wu Baige can't stand the slow pace of this movie, and even their favorite Baige is not enough to comfort their hearts.

"Peace Wheel" had just set sail and sank directly. It has been expelled from the list of New Year blockbusters.

Now everyone's eyes are on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". After the premiere, various media outlets rushed to report on it. The first wave of film reviews came out, and they were almost all positive.

"Live up to the name of a genius director, telling the main theme story of the previous generation in a modern and fresh way, and the film is heart-stirring."

"Watching this movie live, there is nothing wrong with it. It is absolutely exciting and absolutely wonderful."

"It is recommended that all major directors in the industry cooperate with Jiangdong Entertainment. The films produced by Zhou Yutang are of high quality."

"People from Mudanjiang burst into tears when they saw the snow-covered forest at the premiere!"

Zhou Yutang was checking the news in the office for a while, and as expected, classmate Zhou Yu of Milk Tea announced the news on Weibo, which was very lively.

Surprisingly, I also saw the hot search for "Myeongryang Sea Battle" in South Korea.

It just swept the South Korean Film Awards, winning four awards: Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Film.

"You bought a lot of hot searches, you don't really want to cause trouble, do you?"

Zhou Yutang glanced at it, but didn't take it to heart.

The water in China's film industry is very deep, and it's not easy to change the stick.

With the relationship he maintains with theaters, how could he possibly let his competitor "The Battle of Myeongryang" get a high-ranking film?

Many people in the industry are also waiting to see whether "Victory Tiger Mountain" can first defeat the South Korean masterpiece "The Battle of Myeongryang" and then snipe Jiang Wen's "One Step Away".

The film’s promotion plan has also been finalized.

In addition to traditional channels, Maoyan has launched special price pre-sales and is strongly promoted on the homepage of Station B.

Xu Ke began to lead the creative team to perform road shows as planned.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the movie to be released.

On the 5th, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will be released.

The entire film and television industry is paying attention to the movie's attendance, but the most nervous person is none other than Wu Baige.

The Lunar New Year period is a battleground for military strategists. The two movies "Peace Wheel" and "Powerful Tiger Mountain" were released four days apart.

Although the Eastern Titanic had a bad start, Wu Baige always comforted himself in his heart:

Grit your teeth, hold on, and never give up.

It's just that I didn't get off to a good start.

In the past few days, I have been buying and selling drafts and getting good reviews. What if I can come back to life?

When the box office counterattacks, there may be hope for a Hollywood A-level production jointly produced by China Film, Legend and Universal.

Wu Baige also had his own news channel. When he learned that Zhou Yutang took the initiative to promote the magical resource "The Great Wall", he felt incredible.

At the same time, I was very excited and was invited to submit my own plan.

All I can say is that imagination is always beautiful.

The reality is very skinny.

If the invoice for "Taiping Wheel Part 1" was released on the first day, half of Wu Baige's body was buried in the ground.

So by the time "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" hits the first shot of the Lunar New Year episode, his coffin board will have been nailed to death.

The box office for odd screenings exceeded 8 million, and including screenings and pre-sales, the cumulative box office on the first day was as high as 95.83 million.

This result is more than the box office of "The Wheel" in the first three days of the weekend.

Click!

I looked at the first-day attendance and box office report of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" sent by China Film.

Wu Baige's Taoist heart was broken in response.

In just a few days, the theater schedule of "The Taiping Wheel Part 1" has been cut from 30% to 17%, and it seems that there is still room for decline.

Theaters are not fools. They know very well the quality of a movie.

On the third day of its release, the total box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" reached 256 million, and the single-day box office remained above 80 million.

In the first seven days of its first week, the box office revenue of "Peace Wheel: Part 1" was only 121 million, and the single-day box office dropped to just over 10 million, which is really ugly.

Xu Ke is still running road shows, but is in contact with Zhou Yutang every day.

It can be seen that the talented director is full of energy, and his tone is quite exciting when talking about the box office.

Judging from the current situation, this movie is likely to set the peak box office record of his director's career.

Apart from Zhou Yutang’s Soochow Pictures and Wanda, China Film Group is also the main producer.

For La Peikang.

I can only say that it is painful and happy.

When Hou Hongliang of Noon Sunshine was notified to come to Jiangdong Entertainment Building, he was a little dizzy:

"Mr. Zhou, if you don't want to act in "Nirvana in Fire", what will happen to this project?"

"Mr. Hou, please don't be impatient."

Zhou Yutang personally poured tea for Hou Hongliang: "I really can't fit in my schedule."

"We can postpone filming until later in the year."

Hou Hongliang tried to persuade Zhou Yutang.

"The final season schedule of "Celebrating More Than Years" after the new year has been set."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "I have another movie in the first half of the year."

Hou Hongliang is like this.

He only needs to make good preparations for "Nirvana in Fire". As the big boss behind the scenes, Zhou Yutang has many things to consider.

Lu Yang's casting for "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is in full swing, and Zhou Yutang will definitely have to check it for him. There will be a few guest scenes by then.

The drama promotion work for the upcoming New Year drama "Celebrating the New Year 2" is also in preparation for the final season, which is expected to start filming after the year.

And "Operation Mekong", which has just passed the final review, has entered the preparatory stage, and several producers will soon come to Jiangdong to discuss the matter.

In addition, the big project "Xian Qin", which was born out of "The Great Wall", still needs to continue to check for omissions and improve the plot with the screenwriter team in charge.

Zhou Yutang even had to take time to record a variety show on Mango Channel and promote the "Zhou Chu" road show during the Spring Festival, not to mention the time management of many beauties.

Of course, the main reason is that Zhou Yutang doesn't want to make himself so tired.

After taking on "Nirvana in Fire", I'm afraid I'll have to stay in the crew this year.

After fighting for so many years and conquering this piece of land, I must relax and enjoy myself.

Zhou Yutang was very calm, but Hou Hongliang felt that his sky was about to fall.

From the beginning, he locked Zhou Yutang to play Mei Changsu. Now the Grand Commander is busy and there is really no schedule. What can he do?

Zhou Yutang obviously put more of his energy into the final season of "Celebrating Yu Nian".

After opening his mouth, Hou Hongliang just sighed: "Mr. Zhou, the crew will probably be ready this month. What do you think about the protagonist?"

"How about Hu Ge?"

Zhou Yutang thought about it and recommended a candidate to Hou Hongliang.

The role of Mei Changsu should have similar effects with Zhu Yilong and Hu Ge, elegant and weak.

However, Zhu Yilong is currently filming "The Journey of Flower", and his schedule at the end of the year is full. However, Tangren's top star has not taken on many roles this year except for "Now You See Me 2", and has been fascinated by drama most of the time.

"Let's give it a try first."

Hou Hongliang reluctantly nodded, and then made a report on the overall project.

The story of "Nirvana in Fire" seems very cool at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that there are many unreasonable places.

From a God's perspective, if the setting of "Nirvana in Fire" is followed, Mei Changsu has the ability to get rid of the emperor from the beginning.

The marshal of the Southern Military Region is his fiancée, and she bows her head and obeys him with just one word.

The marshal of a certain border military region is a brother, the commander of the imperial guards is an old comrade-in-arms, he has an intelligence network covering the whole world, and the court boss Yan Houye is an old friend.

If Li Yunlong had this lineup, he would dare to lead his troops to land in Tokyo.

Mei Changsu directly flew on the face of the emperor, not to mention asking the emperor to re-examine the old case of Chiyan, and even posthumously conferring the title of the emperor on Prince Qi.

But he later did a series of things to let the emperor know that he was wrong.

In the final analysis, it is the difference in thinking between male and female authors.

Male authors are more logical, while female authors tend to be emotional and are more accustomed to telling stories within the set framework.

The emperor is the emperor.

He has supreme power.

If it were a male author, it would be "the emperor is the one with the strongest soldiers and horses."

Just like in "The Son-in-Law", there is also a revenge plot. When the bloody butcher took the knife to the golden throne, it was so cool that it took off.

But leaving aside some of the complaints, this power struggle drama does have its merits.

Otherwise, Hou Hongliang, an old veteran, would not have wanted to bring it to the small screen for several years.

Zhou Yutang took out his mobile phone and called Hu Ge on the spot,

"Old Hu, are you busy?"

"I'm in a meeting at Tangren."

Hu Ge laughed: "Boss Zhou, did you call the wrong number? Why did you call me suddenly?"

Friends usually communicate on WeChat when they have something to do, and rarely chat on the phone.

Zhou Yutang said concisely: "It's like this, Jiangdong and Noon Sunshine have a project for you, you don't have any film appointments recently, right?"

"Your boss Zhou has spoken, I have a schedule at any time."

Hu Ge reacted: "Wait, are you talking about "Nirvana in Fire"?

"It's "Nirvana in Fire."

After Wu Baige was expelled from the three giants of the Lunar New Year, netizens filled in Gu Changwei into the three giants.

"Micro Love", which has locked in the New Year's Day box office, has begun to carry out extensive publicity. Chen Chichi and Yang Ying have repeatedly appeared on the hot search headlines.

After a week of release, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has a brilliant performance of 539 million, and the red classic is leading the Lunar New Year box office.

Many industry insiders have found that what Zhou Yutang said seems to be true.

Box office statistics agencies have raised the potential estimate of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" to 1.1 billion.
