There was originally only one "Hongmen Banquet", produced by Starlight International, and directed by Lu Chuan.

At the end of 2009, it claimed that the filming would start. It was originally planned to be released during the 2010 New Year holiday and named "Hongmen Banquet".

At that time, Lu Chuan said: "I will use a contemporary perspective to compare history and then restore history. Let the camera return to the ancient times and make a movie with modern value care."

Lu Chuan, who had too many ideas, violated the original intention of the producer. In July 2010, Xingguang International announced that "Hongmen Banquet" would seek another director, and eventually targeted director Li Rengang.

Lu Chuan, who had a special liking for the theme of the Chu-Han War, asked Xingmei and China Film for support and changed to film "The King's Feast".

Look, Li Rengang took over in July 2010 and was released in the 2011 New Year holiday;

Lu Chuan took over in 2009 and released in 2012 New Year holiday...

As a result, everyone knows that "The King's Feast" lost both reputation and box office, which forced Lu Chuan and investors to turn against each other. Fortunately, the quality of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is also limited.

It's just rotten or worse, no one will care who is the worse one.

Speaking of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", the entire film has a considerable investment, at least hundreds of millions!

It continues the problem of Hong Kong directors shooting historical themes: the situation is not big, and the most important heroic spirit in that period of history is completely gone.

The reviews are all so colored:

‘Hey, Liu Yifei, you are wandering around inside!’

‘Anyone who is in front of Li Ming is an acting player!’

However, Liu Yifei was so popular that he invisibly attracted many viewers to buy tickets...

...

"Source Code" has been released in North America for 20 days, and has won a total of US$28 million in box office - if it weren't for "Twilight 4: Dawn (Part 1)" release, it would have exceeded 30 million!

"Twilight 4" is simply a pervert. Including the $30.25 million box office of the midnight premiere, "Dawn" (Part 1) swept $139.5 million in the first weekend.

What's even more awesome is that the movie ended up with a box office of US$280 million, ranking third in North America's annual box office in 2011...

The American version of "Tiny Times" is more awesome than "Tiny Times".

Five movies in the Twilight series, with a total global box office of US$3.3 billion!

A must-have for entertainment!

Under the suppression of this bug-level movie, the situation of "Source Code" can be imagined...

You should know that Old Martin's "Hugo" was so suppressed that he couldn't raise his head...

However, this does not affect the market expectations of "Source Code". Global did not think that "Source Code" could have been able to "Twilight"...

Overseas distribution was also launched on the weekend of its release. It first landed in three English-speaking countries in the UK, New Zealand and Australia. These three places are one of the five gay friends in English. Generally, the market responses of videos sold well in North America will not be bad.

Then log in to European markets such as France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, etc.

It scored nearly $8 million in the first week...

It's pretty good, at least compared to expectations, it's already very good!

European releases are made by mk2, and Orange has 30% box office, copyright dividends...

In addition, Southeast Asia and East Asian countries have also been released...

In short, on the 20th day of the release of "Source Code", which is December 1, Lu Xiaoran forwarded the official Weibo of "Source Code":

"Source Code" has a box office of 750 million in mainland China, an overseas score of 66 million US dollars, and a global total box office of 180 million US dollars. Thank you for your concern, I will continue to work hard!

By the way, "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" was overtaken by "Source Code" on the third day of its release...

...

Lao Liu has gone for great luck!

"Source Code" + "Legend of Hongmen Banquet", two movies, are likely to be directly promoted to the heroine of the box office by 1 billion!

Then, the agent, her mother, took over the "Four Famous Captures" for her...

She was almost mad!

After following Lu Xiaoran for half a month, she was scrupulous... No, it should be because she was influenced by her eyes and she had a rough understanding of the future market!

Teacher Lu unswervingly believes that after the rise of the mainland market, mainland filmmakers will soon occupy the mainstream, and the so-called Hong Kong circle will soon be yesterday’s yellow flowers!

He also gave an example: Hong Kong directors rarely have box offices of more than 300 million, but mainland filmmakers can often reach this number...

When the market expanded, the box office of Hong Kong directors was still very high and more than 300 million...

Marginalization is inevitable!

Teacher Lu also said that you are a good actor and continue to work together in the future...

She was originally skeptical. After the release of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", the box office was tepid. According to the trend, it was only 180 million at most...

Li Ming + Huang Qiusheng + Chen Xiaochun, is there only such a appeal?

I have to re-examine what Lu Xiaoran said...

Now, I have signed "Four Famous Captains" and it will be a trilogy in one shot!

It will take at least nine months...

Mother Liu was honest and said: "This is the work of director Chen Jiashang!"

"…Chen Jiashang? Has he made a movie with a box office of 800 million?"

"Do you know how much they paid you?"

Ask and answer: "10 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"Qianqian, listen to me. I am your mother and I won't cheat you!"

"Three movies 10 million?"

“…”

Liu Yifei was speechless...

After "Source Code", her salary increased to two levels, at least 3 million. If there is another movie, such as "My Little Black Dress", it is likely to go to another level, 5 million...

Now, 10 million Hong Kong dollars have packed three movies!

After cleaning up, she turned around and left the hotel: "I'll go out!"

"Where are you going?"

"I...I'll go find Sister Tangtang!"

...

Orange image, a group of people are settled.

"It's now 750 million, and the final box office should be around 850 million. Our share is 320 million. After deducting costs + promotion and promotion, there are also director share accounts, and there are 140 million..."

"For 140 million, we can divide about 30 million..."

"Overseas copyright, box office split is close to $24 million..."

"The first batch of profits of "Source Code" should be around 200 million! You can report to Mr. Zhong!"

"Why are the first batch?"

"Mk2 said that there is also TV copyright and online copyright talks, it will probably take at least eight months!"

"It's still a big movie to make money!"

"You are stupid, you have to see whose blockbuster it is!"

Lu Xiaoran sat in the office, Zhong Lifang poured him a cup of tea, and next to him was Zhang Jin, Brother Song...

Zhong Lifang looked at him and suddenly said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"…ah?"

"Run the roadshow!"

Lu Xiaoran lowered her head and continued to watch the storyboard of "The Fireworks in the Day": "Oh, what's up!"

"…Why are you not excited at all?"

"I'm very excited, I've been excited yesterday, so let's forget it today..."

"Ha ha…"

Brother Song suddenly laughed heartily...

Zhang Jin quickly asked him: "What's wrong?"

"Look, there is a news here about our boss Lu."

It's a short video, reporter interviewed Zhang Weipin...

"Zhang Yimou's current opponent has changed from Feng Xiaogang to Lu Xiaoran. There can only be one survivor in the Chinese film market. I firmly believe that Zhang Yimou can defeat all Chinese directors!"

“…Tsk tsk, now use Xiaoran to gain attention!”

"He's just like that, just hype the topic!"
Chapter completed!
