China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

By early March.

The heat of the Spring Festival stalls is gradually dissipating.

Regarding the Spring Festival battle report, the number of relevant reports is also far less than last year.

The reason is also very simple.

"Avatar" has already earned 1.9 billion yuan in mainland China.

It has also surpassed "Titanic" in the world and is heading towards 3 billion US dollars.

And those Chinese-language movies that initially wanted to "crush" "Avatar".

In addition to the extremely poor reputation, the box office performance was even worse than that of "Avatar".

"Avatar" took in nearly 800 million at the box office during the Spring Festival.

As for other movies, "Three Guns" had the best result, with 410 million.

Taking advantage of the Spring Festival and the increase in the number of big screens.

This result is about 160 million more than the original time and space.

It's just that this is far worse than the media initially expected.

Last year's Spring Festival release of the three major movies, all of them exceeded 500 million, and the highest one was more than 1.1 billion.

Looking at it now, it's just over 400 million, which is simply not what it should be.

Zhang Weiping didn't care at all.

He told the media that although it is already early March, it has only been half a month since the movie was released, so it is still too early to be released.

So 400 million is not the final result at all. Why are you media so anxious?

Of course, he also knows that the final box office estimate will not exceed 500 million, but it still doesn't matter.

Because compared to the cost, the movie has made a lot of money.

And this is already the highest-grossing movie in Lao Mouzi's career.

That's good, what else do you need a bicycle for?

Except for "Three Guns."

Except for "Little Soldiers", the box office of other films did not exceed 300 million.

And there won’t be much potential in the future.

And "Little Soldiers" relies on the wealth that comes from heaven "all depends on the support of peers", and the box office is higher than the latecomers.

As of March 1, it has reached 343 million, and the media has recognized that the film will increase by at least 100 million in the future.

There is no guarantee that it will be able to overtake "Three Guns" and win the championship in this year's Spring Festival.

Generally speaking, this Spring Festival schedule has actually been finalized.

In two weeks, these movies generated a total box office of nearly 2.5 billion, tens of millions more than the same period last year.

The high-density box office output makes almost all movies make money.

This also makes the Spring Festival schedule once again solid.

But word of mouth is still something that cannot be ignored.

And with the reality that bad movies make a lot of money, the news will spread more and more widely.

Some netizens on the Internet have already decided on this Spring Festival stall.

It can be said that this is the most embarrassing time for a Chinese-language film in so many years since the 21st century.

Even the default summer schedule, a time when Hollywood movies are rampant, is not as good as before.

At that time, although Hollywood movies were very good, Chinese-language movies always produced some movies with good plots.

Although the box office is mediocre, the spirit is still there.

Now, for the sake of box office, I have no shame.

So some media and netizens shouted.

Who will support the backbone of Chinese-language films!

Countless people then began to call for a safe road.

And Xingchen quickly took action.

March 2nd.

Media such as Guangguang released follow-up reports on the shooting set of Xingchen's new film "Source Code 2".

""Source Code 2" is already filming?!"

"Source Code 2 is coming?!"

"I'll go and finally wait for you!"

"."

This immediately attracted the attention of countless movie fans and netizens.

This depends on the weight of "Source Code 1" in the hearts of movie fans.

In other words, not only in the hearts of movie fans, but also in the history of domestic films, its weight is extraordinary.

"Source Code 1" represents a benchmark for science fiction movies in the history of domestic films.

It is recognized by netizens as the most representative benchmark that started the era of domestic blockbusters.

In addition, the quality and reputation of the film are still very strong after so many years of accumulation.

Therefore, the second part of the "Source Code" series will naturally have an extraordinary impact on domestic movie fans and industry insiders.

Soon the news started going viral.

More and more movie fans, passers-by, media people and colleagues are paying attention.

Everyone turns on the TV or clicks on the Xingchen Video website, and soon learns more about it.

In the video, four people including Lu Ping'an and Guorong were sitting on the set for interviews.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are the standard-looking mechanical armor on the lower bodies of Guorong and Liu Qianqian, while their upper bodies are both down jackets.

The effect of still holding the pipa and half-covering the face was quickly apparent.

Everyone quickly realized that "Source Code 2" might be a story that takes place in the future.

However, Lu Ping'an quickly explained: "This is a different parallel world from "Source Code 1". In this world, Xiao En is not injured, and there are no terrorists. It's just that something else happened, so the second part will be different from the first part." There are some similarities, but at the end of the day it’s two different stories.”

After hearing this, some of the audience felt disappointed, while others were indifferent.

The reporters at the scene also asked the reason, and Lu Ping'an explained this: "The ending of Xiao En in the first part was very happy. We initially thought about continuing it, but that was actually not Xiao En himself, but I."

Fans who are familiar with the movie immediately understood that Lu Ping'an was referring to his cameo in the film, so they laughed together with the others in the video.

Lu Pingan continued: "It is impossible for me to act, and I don't like the inconsistency of the characters in the series, so I finally decided that let him continue to be good, and then open a new world and let Xiao En continue. adventure."

This explanation is very convincing.

Fans expressed satisfaction and then started to focus on other topics.

For example, why Lu Pingan does not direct it himself? Lu Pingan explained: "Star S-level projects are all producer-centered systems. Like Hollywood, producers can better check for omissions and fill in the gaps, so whether it is directed personally , as long as the director is qualified, such as Ning Hao now, he is not only qualified, but also excellent. In my opinion, he is already a first-line Hollywood director. With him, there is no need to worry about the quality of the movie."

Bring Hollywood to everything and forget the rest.

Then everyone began to pay attention to the "new world".

Lu Ping'an also gave some explanations: "There will be aliens, and the core of the time loop will of course be retained. I won't say much else. Just watch it as a film."

The reporters didn’t ask too many questions.

The audience was helpless and unreasonable!

But everyone's expectations are getting higher and higher.

Then the reporter interviewed Ning Hao and others.

Ning Hao: "Is it difficult to shoot? It's very big, very big, with hundreds or thousands of deaths. How to shoot it clearly without making people tired is a big challenge."

Guorong: "What do you think of the story? I can't comment, really, because just like the first film, even I haven't read the complete script due to confidentiality reasons."

Liu Qianqian: "What kind of role am I playing?"

Liu Qianqian looked at the other three people.

The other three people zipped their mouths and shook their heads.

Liu Qianqian naturally laughed, then made the same move to the camera and closed her mouth.

Fans of Liu Qianqian shouted that she was cute, but the audience was scolding the crew for causing trouble and actually refused to say anything.

But before he could think about it, the screen turned again and came to the first ten-second trailer. (End of chapter)
