China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 80 Hot Box Office

A total of seven movies were released during the Spring Festival in 2014, but the recognized highlights are "Spring and Autumn Sword" by National Film Group, "Casino" by Tianrun, "The Monkey King" by Beijing Film and United Cinemas and

"Happy World" by Huanshi.com.

Chen Jingxing has watched several movies in the cinema these days. I have to say that this year's Spring Festival is really a gathering of bad movies. Except for Spring and Autumn Sword, which barely got a passing grade, two stars are too many for the other movies.

"Spring and Autumn Swords" is fairly well-made. It tells the story of Duke Huan of Qi. The visual effects are significantly higher than the 50-cent level of other movies. However, the story is very awkward, the lines are extremely modern, and the epic feeling is not reflected at all.

come out.

The director is Liu Weiqiang, a famous Hong Kong Island filmmaker. Chen Jingxing can't figure out why a Hong Kong Island filmmaker should be asked to shoot a historical epic film. It seems that the lack of film talents in the Mainland is quite serious, especially the lack of excellent commercial filmmakers. This

That’s why China Film had no choice but to hand over such a historical blockbuster to a Hong Kong film director.

Apparently the public opinion on the Internet is similar to Chen Jingxing's. They criticized several blockbusters released during the Spring Festival, including film critics who had previously praised Huanshi.com for bringing some changes to the Chinese film market where bad movies are rampant.

[Perhaps "Fatal Identity" is really just a lottery in the fantasy world. It is unimaginable that Qi Wenshe, who is famous all over the country for his comedy performance method of cross talk, actually acted in such a comedy movie that is not funny. This fact is more hilarious than the movie.

, Luo Wenshun, who is known as the master of cross talk, created a disaster in the Spring Festival Gala and then created an even bigger disaster in the cinema. Huanshi.com filmed "Fatal Identity" on the first step and "Happy World" on the other. He

Don’t you think it’s fine?]

Of course, "Happy World" did not attract much firepower because it was not the highest-grossing movie.

"The Monkey King" and "Casino" ranked first and second at the box office. Relying on the prestige established by the movie "Fatal Identity" just released by Huanshi.com, although "The World of Joy" was ranked first and second on the opening day,

Casino was even higher, but with the collapse of its reputation, or a greater collapse than the other films, the subsequent film schedule dropped sharply.

Although the Spring Festival movies have all received negative reviews without exception, the box office is not bad. Watching movies is becoming an important consumption and social activity for Chinese people during the Spring Festival. It can be regarded as a rigid demand. Audiences can only watch bad movies.

, choosing between a bad and a bad movie.

Seven days before the Spring Festival, the box office reached an astonishing 1.5 billion. "The Monkey King" ranked first with 580 million, followed by "Swords of Spring and Autumn" with 430 million, and "Casino" ranked third with 190 million.

"Happy World" ranked fourth with 130 million.

However, the rating of this billion-dollar blockbuster is less than 5 points on both Douban and Time.com.

"That's right. You have to seize the opportunity while your ancestral graves are smoking. Your sister has suffered so much, but now she is blessed. You didn't know it, but the second brother's family is in trouble."

"For Xiaohui's girlfriend?"

If he only made a few million, it would be okay to say that DreamWorks would have subsequent financing and even go public in the future. Regardless of whether it was wealth on paper, Chen Jingxing would become a label that Chen Jingxing could not get rid of.

According to predictions, the box office of "The Monkey King" is likely to exceed 1 billion! Enough to rank 6th in the box office history of Chinese movies and 3rd in the history of domestic movies.

"Xiao Hui's target's family asked the two families to pool money together and buy the house in Shenzhen City before discussing the next matter. As a result, there was no movement from your second brother and sister-in-law, so Xiao Hui became a little anxious, so he brought his target back.

I was preparing to force her to have a baby, but I didn’t expect that your second brother took more than 500,000 yuan to speculate in the stock market.”

Next year...next year, I must enter the Spring Festival stalls to get a piece of the pie!

Seeing such a lively market during the Spring Festival, it is impossible to say that Chen Jingxing is not jealous, and he knows that the box office market during the Spring Festival will still skyrocket year by year in the next few years.

In this case, it is better to set a benchmark. The fourth uncle's professional ability can meet Chen Jingxing's needs, so he will naturally be willing to support him, so as to avoid being criticized every day.

On the one hand, the other party made him realize during the conversation that he had upgraded to a half-capitalist, and naturally he had to start paying attention to the issue of maintaining and increasing the value of wealth through investment. Of course, it was not up to him to buy art, wine estates or other real estate at the moment.

under consideration.

The fourth uncle, Yang Dairong, hung up the phone and said with emotion: "I never thought our family could have such a talented person."

Chen Jingxing has seen a lot of companies that were not well managed but relied on selling buildings and high-quality stocks to stay afloat.

Yang Dairong took a deep breath: "I will go to the capital in a few days to discuss in detail. Who should I work for? Isn't it a part-time job?"

There are also the stocks of several companies that Chen Jingxing remembered from his previous life. This is not not about not doing his job properly, but hedging risks. Even if Chen Jingxing wants to make movies, they are basically movies that have been proven or have been tested by the market in his previous life.

, but risks still exist. Once a certain movie fails or DreamWorks runs into difficulties, these high-quality investments can also play a role in recovering blood.

"Don't you know this? Nephews are closer than uncles and nephews."

The future development of DreamWorks and its film plans will require a lot of funds, but there is no spare money to invest in these aspects, but for some specific investments, such as projects such as visual effects companies in the film and television industry chain, it is definitely still needed

of.

Chen Jingxing is not afraid if his relatives are not supported, but he is afraid that the two teachers will be poked in the back. Regardless of whether there are any conflicts between them, family affection is an indispensable thing in the lives of the two teachers.

"My surname is Chen, not Yang." The fourth aunt complained as she looked at the proud smile on her husband's face.

…

The fourth aunt was actually very happy that such a person was born in her husband's family. She stopped teasing her husband and asked instead, "Have you really made your decision?"

On the other hand, this involves getting along with relatives. The so-called "when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" is considered a traditional concept in China. After a person achieves great success, it is unreasonable not to help support his relatives.

of.

Of course, apart from talking on the phone with his girlfriend these days and paying attention to the box office trends of several Spring Festival movies, Chen Jingxing's biggest gain is rekindling the friendship between relatives with his fourth uncle, who is a lawyer in Shanghai.

Yang Dairong blurted out a national curse.

"It's getting more and more outrageous!"

"Isn't that right? I heard that my sister-in-law asked her to go to your sister's house, but she didn't agree. If the second brother and second sister-in-law ask you to borrow money, you must not agree."

Yang Dairong was still angry: "Don't worry, I don't know what's appropriate. It seems that he lost 200,000 a few years ago and still has a bad memory. I won't care about their family's affairs."
