This actor needs more money
Chapter 216 Box Office Failure
"Thank you, thank you everyone."
"Thank you, friends."
"Hello everyone!"
At the end of the movie, under the leadership of Cheng Long and director Tang Jili, the leading actors took to the stage, including the heroine Jin Xishan.
Seeing Princess Yushu herself on the stage, the film critics and media at the scene were a little excited.
In the movie just now, Princess Yushu waited for love for thousands of years, which was tragic and desolate. After finally waiting, she hugged and separated again not long after.
Like a short-lived flower, it will fail as soon as it blooms.
"Wow, you are such a beautiful woman. She is more beautiful in person than in the movie." Jing Tian stared at her almond-shaped eyes and praised.
As a woman, I have to admit that Jin Xishan is really beautiful, with a round face, big eyes, and an elegant and graceful temperament, which is very in line with the aesthetics of most Eastern people.
This is different from the common plastic surgery in Korea.
Leaning behind Ding Xiu's head, Jing Tian asked with interest and curiosity: "Brother Xiu, you have worked with her, what is she like as a person?"
"Very good, very gentle."
Ding Xiu gave a very fair evaluation. Of course it was impossible for him to say something bad about someone in front of an outsider, but the word gentle was very appropriate for Jin Xishan.
Maybe it’s because I’m alone in a foreign land and don’t understand the language, but I’m very polite in dealing with others, not arrogant or complacent at all.
Jing Tian's eyes lit up: "That's it. Then I'll ask her for an autograph later."
Ding Xiu opened his mouth and closed it again, then he remembered what he had to say to a little girl.
On the stage, the director was talking about the creative concept of the film. The reason was that after seeing the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Chang'an one year ago, he went back and dreamed about a thousand years ago.
Hence the script of the myth.
The male lead was originally scheduled to be Jin Chengwu, but he was cut off by Cheng Long in the end. Cheng Long lived up to expectations and did the martial arts scenes himself, as well as the horseback riding scenes.
In order to get rid of the shadow of the past, this time the martial arts has no procedural style at all, it is all brand new.
To meet the shooting needs, the crew first shot in the most difficult places in China, and then traveled around the world to shoot different scenery in many countries.
The filming alone cost more than 60 million.
Several Hollywood celebrities and Asan Kingdom celebrities were also invited to star.
The investment in this movie exceeded 160 million, making it a super blockbuster.
In a word, it requires a good lineup, a good investment, and a good scene. The crew definitely made it with conscience.
After listening, the film critics and media reporters present were so moved that they wiped their tears while accepting the red envelopes given by the crew, and then wrote down their evaluations in their own notebooks.
At the end of the show, Ding Xiu wanted to leave with the media, but was stopped by Cheng Long to go have a drink. He came to the hotel and drank for three or four hours.
After drinking, go to the sauna, sing, and play mahjong. One-stop service, everything is well arranged.
That night, major media and film critics who watched the premiere began to give their comments after watching the movie.
"I'm not bragging, this is the best movie I've seen this year. It would be a pity if you don't go see it. Brother Cheng Long has changed his past style..."
"A conscientious drama that brings together superstars from many countries. The scenes are magnificent and the story has ups and downs. To be honest, I was moved by the love between Meng Yi and Princess Yushu that spans thousands of years. I burst into tears. The screenwriter is really a genius."
"The unique imagination, mature shooting style, every frame is unparalleled, and the storyline is excellent. You will definitely not be disappointed after watching it."
"The most should-see movie of the year, bar none."
"Ding Xiu, the most capable star of the younger generation, joins to fight Cheng Long. The older generation and the new generation compete against each other. Who is better in martial arts?"
After all, they still have money. Shinhwa not only has a high schedule of films, but also puts a lot of effort into publicity. There is no ambiguity in where to advertise. In just a few hours, the results of Shinhwa's premiere came out.
Attracted many viewers.
Some people have already bought tickets early and are waiting to see the first show as soon as the movie is released.
The next day, Myth was released.
Word of mouth is half and half.
"Fuck, this is a movie. It's a waste of ticket money. The director is not sophisticated at all. Is the armor of the Qin Dynasty so gorgeous? If you don't know, you think it's the Tang Dynasty."
"The saddle and horseshoe are a little weird and inconsistent with history, not to mention the weapons used. Such a good lineup was ruined in vain."
"The one who is blind is Cheng Long. Except for the wrinkles on his face, everything else about this drama is good. I don't understand why he is pretending to be young when he is over fifty. He plays the role of dad honestly. Isn't it good for grandpa?" ?”
"It would be nice if the role of Ding Xiu was changed to that of Cheng Long. He matches Jin Xishan better. The man is handsome and the woman is pretty."
"I cried as soon as the episode of Beautiful Myth came out. I was so touched by this love."
"I have already downloaded the song immediately. The song is good and the movie is good. I support my brother."
Shinhwa is coming in a big way, theaters are very generous, the film schedule is very high, and the box office is also very good, with more than 10 million.
So, Cheng Long was happy and took Ding Xiu and other people who came to support him to play for another day.
On the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, the box office was getting lower and lower day by day. Cheng Long had no intention of playing anymore and couldn't sleep every day.
He has participated in investment in almost all the movies he starred in. If the movie does not do well at the box office, he will also lose money.
The total investment is 1.6 billion, and it will take almost 500 million in box office to make back the money. If it exceeds 500 million, it will be profitable. But judging from the current situation, it is difficult to break through 100 million, let alone 500 million.
On the seventh day, the box office for the first week came down to more than 50 million.
Everyone on the Mythology crew looked sad.
It was released on Hong Kong Island at the same time as the mainland, and the box office in the first week was even worse, only a few million.
A month later, Shinhwa was released.
The total box office in the Mainland is more than 90 million.
The box office in Hong Kong is over 17 million.
Rushed to grandma's house.
It can be said that no matter how prosperous Cheng Long was before, he has fallen hard now.
Because this was his second consecutive box-office failure. The last time was New Police Story in 2004, which also had a large cast, a large number of Hong Kong stars participated, and an investment of more than 100 million. In the end, the mainland box office was more than 40 million.
The two films failed, and Brother Cheng Long received a lot of discussion.
Some coal bosses who saw him did not dare to vote for him, and instead focused on younger artists.
Shen City, the Apple crew, the crew is on holiday today, Ding Xiu has no chance, so he chartered a yacht and took Gao Yuanyuan, Zhao Liying, and several leading actors from the crew to go out on the sea.
"Brother Xiu, I'll come here more often for group building like this. I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time."
On the second deck, Fan Binbin was sitting on a leisurely lounge chair, wearing cool clothes, crossing his legs, wearing sunglasses on his face, and drinking juice in his mouth.
Ding Xiu was wearing beach pants, a floral shirt, and flip-flops. He leaned his back against the fence and blew in the sea breeze. He said, "You just push yourself too hard."
"Is it tight?"
"tight."
"It doesn't matter. It's just when I was young. Now that I'm old, I can't do it unless I fight hard."
"Whatever you want." Seeing Gao Yuanyuan coming over, Ding Xiu took his eyes back from his lap, turned around, and faced the sea.
