King of Special Effects

On the day of its premiere, "Under Deep Space" took the brunt of the Lunar New Year file with a box office of 576.7585 million, and broke the domestic movie box office record of 540 million in a single day.

This is the last box office record that Yi Yang breaks through. From now on, apart from the record set by Yi Yang himself, no other record can be broken.

And these records set by Yi Yang will be beyond the reach of others in a while.

It can also be said that Yi Yang's films have reached a new height in China.

Unlike "Monster Hunt II", which set a single-day box office record, Yi Yang also had a super high score while breaking the box office record.

With a score of 9.4 on the premiere day, the word-of-mouth of this movie has exploded. If nothing else, the single-day box office of this movie will remain high in the next few days.

The single-day box office of "Tomorrow's War" starring Gu Tianle also reached 345 million. The two sci-fi movies occupy the top spot in the Lunar New Year file.

Also released at the same time is the comedy film "Cohabitation Relationship" starring Shen Xiaoyan and produced by the "Happy Latiao" team, and "Monster Hunt III" starring Jin Boran.

Shen Xiaoyan's position in comedy movies over the years is hard to shake. The box office of the premiere of "Cohabitation Relationship" starring him is 267 million. After all, it is a festive day like the first day of the Lunar New Year. The whole family goes to the movies to watch comedies. The laughter is also very good.

However, the IP of "Monster Hunt III" has been played more and more badly, especially when the second part has a rating of only 5.0, this film has completely lost the interest of most people.

That is to say, it is loved by children, and the box office of the premiere is less than 50 million.

Now the third part, the score is not much higher than the second part, only 5.4 points, many people commented that this movie should be planned in the category of cartoons.

These films are no longer the rivals of "Under Deep Space". The record-breaking single-day box office and super high ratings directly put this film in the situation of "hard to get a ticket" in most cities in the mainland market. .

Needless to say, Shunning is a small city. I heard from Ding Liwei that it is not easy to buy tickets for this movie in a big place like Pengcheng.

In order to increase the film schedule, the theaters did not hesitate to break the contract and lose money, sacrificing some films that hit the street on the day of the premiere, and finally increased the film schedule of "Under Deep Space" to 35%.

But even if movie theaters increase the number of screenings, tickets are still hard to find in many cities.

The second day of the Lunar New Year, the day after the release.

The box office of "Under Deep Space" has risen fiercely, heading directly to a new high of 600 million in a single day.

Yi Yang, together with Ling Lan and the others, watched the box office increase at home. Every time it was refreshed, there was an increase of tens of millions, and it felt frightening.

Yi Zhonghua and Ling Sanxing didn't have any concept of things, and they didn't feel anything when they looked at them, but Yi Xin already felt cold sweat breaking out from behind.

Although everyone hopes to have a lot of money, when you are really facing so much money, you have to worry about whether your heart can afford it.

"Brother, this rise is too fast, right?"

Yi Yang stared at the screen tightly without speaking, breaking 570 million on the first day and breaking 600 million on the second day would not be exciting. Yi Yang said that he had to take a long-term view in the future , Now the domestic box office is not too cold for him.

The real test moment for "Under Deep Space" was when it was released in North America on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and entered the international market. This film is very important.

Based on the current situation, Yi Yang has almost achieved the small goal of 'No. 1 in the country', and the next step is to move towards a higher goal.

Wu Jin, Guo Fan and others just came out of the movie theater, and they just reserved the show for everyone from the second part of "The Wandering Earth" to watch.

Wu Jin is okay, but Guo Fan looks a little bit uneasy.

He watched the special effects of "Under Deep Space" with trepidation. Even the special effects team of Hollywood movies can't match the special effects of this movie.

Liangyi Media's special effects technology has reached such a high level?

"Brother Jin, did Director Yi Yang say how much money was spent on filming "Under Deep Space"?"

Wu Jin shook his head: "I looked through the materials they posted on the Internet, and they didn't say how much it was, but I saw their special effects, the production of this film will not be less than 500 million."

Five hundred million!

Guo Fan's team paid Yi Yang only 100 million yuan for the special effects production of the second part of "The Wandering Earth". "Under the Sky" is worse.

In this regard, Yi Yang has done a good job, both films produced the highest level of special effects.

The box office success of "Under Deep Space" not only didn't worry Guo Fan, but made him very happy.

The first part of "The Wandering Earth" can be said to be a stepping stone for domestic sci-fi movies, and now Yi Yang has thrown out the next one.

Science fiction movies are called science fiction because they look at nothingness created by special effects. Yi Yang released "Under Deep Space" first, and the special effects were well received by people all over the country. His "Wandering Earth" In the second part, the special effects of Yiyang Liangyi Media joined in.

To some extent, Yi Yang's "Under the Deep Space" is an early publicity for the second part of his "The Wandering Earth".

He was thinking, and stopped Wu Jin who was walking in front: "Brother Jin, I suggest that we should strengthen the promotion of "Wandering II", especially in terms of the special effects team, we must put Liangyi as the top priority." Join the media."

When Wu Jin heard this, he immediately understood Guo Fan's meaning: "You mean to emphasize special effects so that more people know that the special effects production team of "Wandering 2" belongs to Liangyi Media Company?"

Another assistant director also said: "If you do this, it's very suspicious of spreading the heat!"

Guo Fan looked helpless: "What do you mean by being popular? The special effects of our movies are originally produced by them, and they are completely in accordance with the normal publicity, and on the day of the opening ceremony, Yi Yang himself also came to our crew to make an appearance. The media has also reported on it.”

"We are only strengthening the publicity in this area now, and "Wandering 2" has been filming for so long, how did we know that Yi Yang's "Under the Deep Space" would become such a hit?"

Wu Jin reminded: "To be more precise, we didn't even know this movie existed at that time."

"I really don't know!"

Guo Fan looked very serious: "Let's do it like this. Judging from the current box office trend, "Under Deep Space" will set a higher box office record, and our "Wandering 2" will break his record." .”

What Guo Fan said is also based on facts. The success of the first part laid the foundation for the second part. With the special effects of Liangyi Media, it is not difficult for "Wandering II" to break any records.

Also in another part of the capital, Wang Jun, Lin Xin and others had just come out of Huayi's private theater, and they had just shown "Under Deep Space".

While this movie shocked them a lot, it also brought a lot of psychological pressure to Lin Xin.

Among other things, the special effects alone made him dare not even think about it. As a director, he knew how much it would cost to make the special effects of this movie, and with the quality of the special effects, even Hua It may not be possible to make it even if you hire a foreign technical team.

Wang Jun is also in the same mood at the moment. The "Three-Body Problem" company plans to invest 500 million yuan, but after watching "Under Deep Space" just now, he feels that this sci-fi movie is not about money at all.

"Director Lin, tell me the truth, if the company gives you another 200 million, can you make a movie like "Under Deep Space"?"

Lin Xin shook his head: "Wang understands, to be honest, even if you give me one billion, I can't guarantee that I can do it."

Naturally, Wang Jun didn't mean to blame Lin Xin. He has been in the film and television industry for so many years, so it's impossible that he didn't understand the difficulty of making this movie.

Let’s not talk about the shooting of the film, because it is worthless in front of special effects, but Huayi’s own team is 100% unable to do this special effect, even if it hires a first-class foreign team, it may not be able to do it.

"Damn it, when will domestic special effects technology be better than foreign ones?"

Wang Jun used to think that foreign special effects technology was the first to develop, and their technology was much more mature than domestic ones. Even in Huayi's own company team, many technicians were hired from abroad with high salaries.

Until now, he began to lose confidence in foreign technology.

"Isn't there a report on the Internet that Guo Fan's "The Wandering Earth" part 2 is also joined by Liangyi Media? If Guo Fan can find Yi Yang, then we can too. Anyway, even if we find someone else to do special effects, we still have to pay for it." , In fact, our "Three-Body Problem" can also be made like this, it is nothing more than a matter of money."

Wang Jun shook his head: "You may not know Yi Yang very well. When he cooperates with others, he never cares about the interests, but depends on his mood and relationship!"

Lin Xin questioned: "Wang understands, is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?"

"Do you think Yiyang is still short of money now? All the shares of Liangyi Media are in his hands alone."

"Then there is no shortage of money. He must have other hobbies, right? For example, antique calligraphy and painting, luxury cars and women?"

Wang Jun didn't speak, he was thinking about Lin Xin's words, he did what he liked, this is also a good way to establish a relationship with Yi Yang.

After a while, he turned around and said to another company employee next to him, "Well, after the new year, let's hold a movie party and invite all domestic movie celebrities to the capital to participate."

"Then, discuss with Brother Long, Zhen Zidan, and Director Wu Yusheng, the older generation of filmmakers, and invite Yi Yang to participate in their name."

Lin Xin was stunned: "Wang Xiao, with Hua Yi's strength in the circle, is it so troublesome to invite a director? Wang Xiao, if you say something, who in the circle dare not give face?"

Wang Jun smiled: "You may not dare, but this kid Yi Yang really dare not give face. The most uncomfortable thing is that I still can't do anything to him. If he can give me face, "Three-Body" will not fall on you It's on the head."

Lin Xin has nothing to say. Although he is an old man in the industry, he really doesn't have the courage to fight Yi Yang.

He cannot shake the status of a 40 billion level director.

"Let's find a chance. We all know this director Yi Yang. We are playing the emotional card. If Yi Yang is still so ignorant, then we will do it ourselves. I don't believe that Liang Yi Media can produce it. Special effects can’t be produced by others, and now good movies are popular, and the cost is invested, and bad movies can be made into good movies.”

Wang Jun now even feels that Huayi's status as the leading player in the domestic entertainment industry is being shaken, which is not good.

Huayi invests in producing so many movies every year, but very few of them make a decent box office. This situation has to change.

In Gusu, in a lake-view villa complex by the West Lake, Jin Yonghua took advantage of the Chinese New Year's free time to relax at home.

Her actual age is a few years older than Gong Ying's. From the perspective of personality, both of them belong to that kind of career-oriented woman, but the difference from Gong Ying is that Jin Yonghua is married and has a 12-year-old daughter , but she and her husband divorced a few years ago.

My daughter went to the United States with her ex-husband and hasn't been back for several years, so now she is alone during the Chinese New Year.

Alone, she doesn't have any extra leisure time, she can spend more energy on managing the company.

Runbaijin has been losing money for two consecutive years. Especially in the aspect of film and television investment, the company has no profit at all. Sometimes under pressure, she even wants to compromise with some shareholders of the company several times, and start the Wanzhong Group like before. That kind of film fundraising model earns money from investors.

But she suppressed this thought several times, and sometimes she felt that she was one step away from breaking the law.

With just one thought, she can walk into the abyss like Guo Shanxing. She knows the abyss is there, but she still can't help but take steps. Sometimes it's not because she doesn't want the consequences, but because she knows that there will be such consequences but still dies. Involuntarily drilled in.

Runbaijin Media Group is gradually declining. This is a cruel fact that Jin Yonghua has to face!

She lay lazily on the sofa, holding a tablet and watching the news above. At this time, all she watched was the report about Yi Yang's new movie.

"It's less than one billion box office in two days, Yi Yang, you won again this time!" She said to herself, talking to the tablet: "Now that this movie is out, no one in the entertainment industry can do anything to you Already!"

In the past few years, she has personally witnessed Yi Yang's position in the entertainment circle becoming more and more stable. Back then, some people threatened to block Yi Yang.

But now, many people still wanted to block Yi Yang, but they couldn't do it anymore.

Unless the theater and the film bureau came forward to block it, no one could do anything to Yi Yang, but why did the theater block Yi Yang?

In the past few years, they have made at least tens of billions of money through Yi Yang, and Yi Yang is a cash cow for them, the kind that many people can't hold.

As for the Film Bureau, from "537.9" to "Warrior" series, Yi Yang has been cooperating with the military. Although I don't know what background relationship Yi Yang has, but because of this cooperation, Yi Yang has also received a lot of attention. The circulars from the land administration, air administration, and sea administration praised him. If the Film Bureau simply banned Yi Yang, wouldn't that be blatantly slapping the military in the face?

So, as long as Yi Yang doesn't break the law, it's even more impossible for them to block him without a reason, but... can Yi Yang break the law?

Thinking of this, Jin Yonghua suddenly had a thought that made her feel a little scared, and said to herself: "What if this kid Yi Yang can really break the law?"
