China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

Having said that, "Source Code 2" will be completed in another month, so Guorong and Liu Qianqian will have no choice but to be forced to death in this project.

As a result, "Those Years", which was originally planned to be seamlessly integrated, had to change its plan again.

In short, it is definitely too late to catch up with the Chinese Valentine's Day in late August.

Of course you can also catch up.

But Lu Ping An finally chose to postpone.

Let Yu Feihong carry the Chinese Valentine's Day alone.

The cost of this version of "Love Is Afterlife" is not as high as the original version. It should be no problem to make money by promoting Chinese Valentine's Day in advance.

In addition, "Those Years" can be released on Chinese Valentine's Day next year, and The Original Space and Time will also be released next year, which is just right.

With love-themed movies being released on Chinese Valentine's Day for two consecutive years, the Chinese Valentine's Day may be easier to activate.

The matter was settled, and Liu Qianqian had no objection at all.

It’s not that everyone hears that the road is safe.

But she was really tired.

"After filming is completed, I don't want to receive any announcements. I want to stay in the room for three full months. I want to eat fried chicken, I want to eat braised pork, and I want to eat soup dumplings!!!"

Liu Qianqian wielded the prop sword and slashed at the little green man fiercely.

Obviously, after nearly half a year of filming, nearly a year of body control and high-intensity training, she was going crazy.

Lu Pingan rubbed his nose and ran away to avoid being chopped into pieces by her.

"Those Years" has been postponed, so "Bottom Hot Girls" is about to start.

Guorong will star in this film, but the roles can be adjusted. The female lead will be filmed first, and Guorong will be filmed after July.

The filming permit for this film was actually the same as "Those Years". It was obtained last year, but Lu Ping'an kept delaying it.

So now just take it out and finish shooting.

It's early June now, and it's expected to take one and a half months to complete.

Then we can take advantage of the start of school in September to come to campus.

This is Lu Ping An’s first truly social welfare film.

Since it is a public welfare category, popularization is the most important thing, and box office is the last priority.

The protagonist of the film is naturally Xingchen's "second sister" Yang Mi.

Yang Mi now has a large number of fans. On the newly opened Weibo, she has already exceeded one million fans. She is not ranked high. It is not comparable to Yao Dazui and Xie Na, but she can be regarded as the best among the new generation stars. By.

Such "traffic stars" should be used to make these meaningful movies.

Furthermore, from a technical point of view, Yang Mi is actually more suitable than Liu Qianqian. Liu Qianqian is a "fairy" and has never experienced it, let alone act like a "too young girl".

Yang Mi is different. She is a big BJ girl, very wild, and her acting skills have been maintained, which is completely suitable.

Of course, there are actresses who are more suitable than him, but let's not consider it. Who makes Yang Mi the face of the second echelon of stars?

Two days later, "Shamate" was secretly launched.

It’s June 14th.

Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Huayi was listed on the market with a valuation of 3.6 billion amid the clamor of gongs and drums, becoming the second Chinese entertainment stock.

Before going public, Huayi announced plans for the release of the next four blockbusters, as well as various plans such as TV series and live-action tours.

Among them, movies as the main business attract the most attention.

After the disgusting baptism of the Spring Festival movie, the outside world has become immune to "blockbusters".

However, here in Huayi, there is a certain immunity.

Because two of the blockbusters are related to stars, "Painted Skin 2" and "Detective Dee".

Another one is Huayi's flagship series "If You Are the One 2".

The last one, which is also about to be released, is extremely popular at the moment. It is said to be "Tangshan Earthquake", Feng Dapao's most painstaking work.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the two series "Painted Skin" and "If You Are the One". The previous games have achieved excellent results and have a very good reputation.

Coupled with Huayi's reputation accumulation over the years, although it is not as good as Xingchen, it is second after all.

The market recognizes that Huayi is currently the only company that can produce large-scale film series.

This greatly encouraged investors' confidence.

So on the day of listing, Huayi's stock price surged from the opening price of 28 yuan to a high of 101 yuan, and finally closed at 61 yuan.

Although Huayi's market value did not directly exceed 10 billion on the day it was listed, like the original time and space.

But still created the myth of wealth.

Star shareholders such as Feng Dapao, Li Binbin, and Huang Xiaoming have assets exceeding 100 million.

Huayi's big and small kings have also increased their net worth by billions.

Of course, Lu Ping An also gained more than 2 billion in wealth comfortably.

Professional institutions predict that if Huayi develops at its current pace in the future, its market value will reach about 50 billion within three years.

This number is calculated based on Xingchen’s market capitalization.

The current market value of Xingchen is approaching 80 billion, and professional institutions predict that it will exceed 100 billion within three years.

Therefore, in the eyes of institutions, as long as Huayi does not break up with Xingchen and continues its current cooperation, there is no problem with its market value reaching half of Xingchen.

Although the big and small kings of Huayi still have dissatisfaction with this, facing the 50 billion pie, everyone still enjoys it quite happily.

However, just when everyone thought that in the future, at least in the short term, Huayi would not be ranked first, and Xingchen would hardly fall to second place.

Next, the performance of the two domestic entertainment giants seemed to have picked up the wrong script.

In late June, Huayi released the first blockbuster among its four major projects: "Tangshan Earthquake" with the prestige of going public.

At the same time, Xingchen also released "The Adventures of Li Xianji" by its director Guo Fan in a low-key manner.

Before the release of "Tangshan", Feng Dapao persuaded the audience that "Tangshan" is not an entertainment film. Those who want to watch an entertainment film should not waste money on buying tickets. As for the box office prospects, Feng Dapao extended his hand: 500 million is not a big problem. .

A reporter at the scene asked, how can we ensure a box office of 500 million with such reverse publicity?

Feng Dapao gave the following answer: "Everything I film has a box office. I have no choice. Apart from Director Lu, who can surpass me? No!"

Being able to say this is not only supported by past box office results, but also with the 60 million investment and full support of the TS city government, as well as the countless group viewings organized by various counties and cities.

In the end, "Tangshan Earthquake" took in 230 million box office in its first week.

On the other hand, "The Adventures of Li Xianji", which was released in a low-key manner, only earned a measly 10.2 million in its first week.

By the second week, early July.

"Tangshan Earthquake" continues to sing, once again winning 190 million at the box office.

Xingchen's "The Adventures of Li Xianji" only earned 7 million.

Comparing the film's production and publicity costs of 10 million, it is basically declared a blockbuster.

By the third week, the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" exceeded 600 million.

At this time, Xingchen's other blockbuster movie "Despicable Me 1" was released in mainland China.

The film is an animated film based on Lu Ping'an himself as an image template, which means it is shot for newborn children.

Overall, the quality of the film is actually very good.

The box office was 65 million in the first week of release, which is an excellent result by the standards of animated movies.

But for ordinary students, a score of 95 points is an extraordinary performance and an achievement that can be celebrated at a banquet, but for academic students, it is a mistake in the eyes.

For a long time, society has had high expectations for Xingchen movies, and now it seems that it has finally brought backlash to Xingchen.

""Despicable Me" did not perform well at the box office and could not replicate the miracle of "Kung Fu Panda". The new generation of Stars series may fail."

""Despicable Me" suffered a box office failure, and the miracle of "Kung Fu Panda" may become its swan song."
