Chapter 254 Spring Festival Box Office Forecast

Chen Jingxing opened the door with a tired look. As soon as he entered, he smelled the smell of oil smoke and his heart skipped a beat: "What day is it today? You can give gifts, but you can't make random meals...Mom?"

Teacher Yang was wearing glasses and was making a video call. He held up his mobile phone and turned it around in circles: "Plenty of space?... It's okay. The living room is really okay... Stylish? I don't think it's pretentious. I don't like this. What's it called?"

Simple style... But for young people, as long as they like it, we don't live here forever... Xiaojing is back, I'll hang up now, and I'll call you tomorrow."

Chen Jingxing looked at Teacher Yang, surprised and happy: "Mom, why didn't you tell me before you came here? If you had told me you would come back today, I would have finished work early."

"I told Xinxin before, don't I want to give you a surprise? Your dad is cooking in the kitchen. Go and wash your hands quickly. It's time to eat. It's still early to finish work. You are a director and you can't be so willful. Work is still

We must take it seriously and not let private matters affect official matters..."

Tang Xin snickered as he watched Chen Jingxing being scolded.

It turned out that the two teachers had a winter vacation in school. Because Teacher Chen started teaching the first graders this year, the pressure was much less. There was no need to write lesson plans and prepare lessons during the winter and summer vacations. So they decided to come to the capital together and take a look at the new house Chen Jingxing bought.

After all, Chen Jingxing is also a well-known director at home and abroad, and he is also the boss of a rising film giant. For work and various reasons, he bought a loft mansion before the end of last year, with more space than before.

The house is nearly twice as big.

After a while, Teacher Chen's dishes were cooked. They were all home-cooked dishes, which made Chen Jingxing miss him very much. Except for the Spring Festival in the past two years, Chen Jingxing rarely had time to go back to his hometown.

"How about it? Your kung fu movie hasn't been finished yet? If I remember correctly, your movie has been shot for nearly four months."

The first part - "Mermaid"! After three years, Star Master returns again. In 2013, "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" ignited the Spring Festival schedule, and can even be said to have truly opened up the Spring Festival schedule. Needless to say, Star Master's appeal

, the trailer on Station C alone has reached 2.1 million views, and the movie tickets owed to Mr. Xing will probably be astronomical.

It can be seen from the debate that the number of fans of Chen Jingxing, a rising star, is really far behind that of his predecessors.

Laika is one of these celebrities who have become popular. The earliest program was to explain the DreamWorks animation "Battleship". His name at Station C comes from the octopus-shaped alien in "Battleship" - Laika.

.

"Really?" Hearing Chen Jingxing's bold words, Tang Xin had objections, and laughed and said: "I don't think they are afraid of you. Even the box office prediction of "Mekong River" made by the famous "Mengchui" Laika star

Can rank third.”

The estimated box office is 1.5 billion to 1.8 billion! Ranked second during the Spring Festival!

The third part - "Operation Mekong"! A war action blockbuster jointly produced by DreamWorks and China Film. The movie is based on the Mekong case. An adapted TV series was also filmed before. This movie was also authorized by the Ministry of Public Security. It can be regarded as a theme mission movie.

.

In addition, the male protagonist is played by Deng Chao, who contributed "Signal" and "Heart of the Sun" last year. With the blessing of a phenomenal TV series and a high-scoring movie, Deng Chao's current momentum is almost difficult to match in the Mesozoic era...

The estimated box office is 2.5 billion! Once again creating a new box office record in China’s film history!

The second part - "Journey to the West: Lion and Camel Kingdom"! The original production team of "The Monkey King", judging from the cast lineup, is almost a team of stars from Beijing Film Studio. Although the previous film exploded at the box office,

However, word-of-mouth has left a bad reputation, which is a disadvantage. However, the concept images and trailers leaked in the early stage of "Lion and Camel Kingdom" triggered heated discussions among everyone.

War action movies are a rare type of movie in China, and they are invested by DreamWorks and directed by Guo Fan, a contracted director of DreamWorks. I am personally looking forward to it.

Tang Xin had already turned on his phone, found the relevant video and put it against the cup. Not only was Chen Jingxing curious to see how the video predicted Spring Festival movies, but the two teachers also joined in.

However, during the debate, there were also calm netizens who stood up and poured cold water on the two sides who were fighting fiercely.

This up owner is famous for explaining the works of DreamWorks. Whether it is movies, TV series or animations, he has basically explained them all. After explaining the works of DreamWorks, he started to explain other domestic and foreign film and television works. He carefully digs out the good movies and explains the bad ones.

The film was a serious complaint, and the number of fans exceeded 2 million within a few months.

There are also voices that have high expectations for "Lion and Camel Kingdom".

Chen Jingxing couldn't help but laugh. Unexpectedly, his mother was very concerned about DreamWorks' film market performance: "It can be changed, but it would be very embarrassing to skip the schedule when the Spring Festival is approaching. It's okay. DreamWorks invested 100 million, which is not a big sum of money.

If you lose, you lose..."

Chen Jingxing replied while picking up the food: "The filming of "The Matrix" is actually not large, but there are indeed a lot of action scenes, which are not easy to shoot. We encountered some difficulties, but it will be almost done in a few days."

While Tang Xin glared at Chen Jingxing, he comforted the two teachers who were almost laughing and crying: "Dad, Mom, don't listen to him, he is joking."

But I still ranked this movie in third place. Although Laika is known as the number one favorite at station C, its adaptation is not random... No, it cannot be praised randomly.

Chen Jingxing was stunned: "Lycra Planet? That movie commentator at station C?"

"Laika is here to wish everyone a happy New Year... Now let's enter the 2016 Spring Festival special program...

In addition, there are also quarrels and arguments, and even ginseng attacks, mainly between fans of Star Ye and Chen Jingxing.

I think many fans of DreamWorks are still confused as to why "Mekong" was put on the Spring Festival schedule. It is said that it was the opinion of Qin, the boss of National Film Group, on the release. Well, I can't comment on that...

While enduring the glares and complaints from the two teachers, Chen Jingxing smiled and said, "You have no idea who your son is. Have I ever invested in a movie that lost money? Don't worry, only others are afraid of us when it comes to movies produced by DreamWorks."

Just worry about it for your own sake."

Teacher Yang was a little worried: "Before I came here, your cousin pushed me a video. You invested in the "Mekong" that will be released during the Spring Festival, right? I read on the Internet that this Spring Festival is the strongest Spring Festival in history.

I’m not very optimistic about your movie, so you can’t change the release date once it’s set?”

The estimated box office is 1 billion to 1.3 billion!

The fourth movie - "Casino III", a movie that has been criticized all the time, but each one has higher box office than the last..."

The mainstream comments are still comments like "The Mermaid" and "Return the movie tickets to Xingye".

The video of Laika Starman is not only humorous, but also detailed in content. He is good at digging out the details and hidden information of the work. Anyway, Chen Jingxing is famous for watching a few episodes of the show. I don’t know how powerful it is. I kind of realized that if Lu Xun traveled back to the present and saw his own novel reading

Understand the feeling of answering the question.

Although I am a fan of Chen Jingxing, Star Lord is also my youth. In terms of appeal, "Mekong" is really inferior to "Mermaid" and "Lion and Camel Kingdom". The power of Star Lord and Journey to the West IP

DreamWorks cannot compete with just one brand...

Netizens are looking forward to Jingying's ability to bring out the horror and strong style of the Lion and Camel Kingdom. The director also said in the interview that it will bring surprises to the audience, which can't help but make people think about this.

The first difficulty is a plot that many people who like Journey to the West are looking forward to...

Of course, there are also replies like "Bet on Mekong Counterattack", "Believe in the movies produced by DreamWorks", and "Don't care about box office, just good reputation".

Xingye not only has loyal fans, but also has national popularity and emotional appeal that Chen Jingxing is currently unable to match. The momentum of "Mermaid" is really basically supported by Xingye alone.

However, whether it is from the data on ticketing websites or media reports, the theme of "Mekong" is considered to be a bit incompatible with the temperament of the Spring Festival. Laika also has the same view. "Mekong" is actually very suitable for the summer season or National Day.

Of the movies on the National Day schedule, there don’t seem to be any gift films this year. I don’t understand why it’s not scheduled to be on the National Day schedule. Isn’t this a very suitable gift film?

Chen Jingxing clicked on the comment area and looked at the opinions of netizens at site C. He found that they had basically the same opinions as the barrage.

"puff!"

Teacher Chen started talking about work as soon as he came up. Although they were thousands of miles apart, the two teachers were always concerned about their son's work. They also learned a lot about the director's work and the information about DreamWorks. Now they are

Half of the film and television industry.

He has heard of Laika Starman and even watched most of his videos. This is a well-known up owner who has recently emerged on Station C. After the D round of financing invested by DreamWorks at the beginning of last year (2015), C

The transformation of the site was unexpectedly smooth. The policy of encouraging users to contribute and produce secondary content and cultivating up owners quickly bore fruit.

[Everyone, please stop fighting! I don’t understand why Sing Ye’s fans are quarreling with Director Chen’s fans. As a dual movie fan, I’m confused. Sing Yeh is the director of “Mermaid”, but Chen Jingxing is not the director of “Mekong”.

, DreamWorks is just an investor, what’s the fuss about?

Moreover, "Mekong" is indeed deficient in its subject matter and does not fit into the Spring Festival schedule.

Fans of Chen Jingxing, please don’t be fooled by some slanderous words to sow discord. Anyway, I will watch "Mermaid" and "Mekong"...]

For this year's Spring Festival movie, which has been hailed as "the strongest in history" by the media, box office predictions are already flying all over the sky. From the major media to the melon-eaters, everyone has paid more attention and discussion to this year's Spring Festival movie than before.

The main reason is that several films in the Spring Festival are indeed very topical. Unlike the films in the Spring Festival in previous years, this year, whether it is "Mermaid", "Lion and Camel Kingdom" or "Mekong", they have successfully carried out word-of-mouth marketing.
