Cheng Yu'an is busy promoting "Inception" and handling company handover matters. "The Twilight Saga" is about to be released. Cheng Yu'an sleeps up to 5 hours a day. Cheng Lingfeng and Liu Yifei are in the same situation.

In China, although "The Dark Side" has a niche subject matter, it is full of creativity and has a good grasp of the rhythm. The male and female protagonists are very popular, and the movie's reputation is gradually developing.

The first day's sales of 7 million were mediocre, but the box office revenue in the first three days was 35.8 million.

Three days to break its box office estimates remotely.

"It is a rare domestic horror film with a solid conscience. The story is solid, the rhythm is tight, and the actors' performances are on point. It seems that Han Yan has really worked hard in the past three years."

"The size of the plot cannot be a criterion for judging a movie. Good movies can also be made with a small plot. Han Yan's "The Dark Side" has a small plot. It is just a love triangle story, but in this old villa

Here, Han Yan gave full play to his scheduling and control abilities. The most surprising work of the year is undoubtedly Han Yan."

"After Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" was killed and Wu Ershan turned to produce "Painted Skin 2", I thought that there would be a break in filming for new remote directors. Unexpectedly, Han Yan stepped forward. Although the first film was not a success,

However, the release of "The Dark Side" convinced the industry that the remote training mechanism for new directors is still healthy. Many people may not know that Han Yan has been practicing remotely since entering school as a freshman, and has always been Cheng Yuan's assistant director and executive.

"

"It can't be said that there are no loopholes. For example, if the female protagonist goes missing and the police come to investigate, why don't you ask the old lady of the landlord? Just ask the landlord and you will find the secret room. Furthermore, it can be seen that Han Yan actually wants to film a passionate scene to show the male protagonist.

Comparing the two relationships, but for some reason I couldn't do it, so in the finished film, the kissing scenes and passionate scenes between the male protagonist and the two female protagonists were very awkward to watch, but fortunately the two female protagonists

The characters are beautiful enough that one can watch it patiently. The flaws in the film are obvious, but the director made good choices and self-consistency. The surprise film of the year has to be "The Dark Side."

Generally speaking, "The Dark Side" has not been limited in its dissemination because of its niche subject matter. Instead, it has attracted batches of people due to shameless marketing terms such as "surprise of the year" and "milestone of domestic horror films".

A large number of audiences walked into the cinema to watch the movie.

It adds a little uncertainty to the already busy summer schedule.

"Shama Town" and "The Dark Side" were released in the same week, the former on Tuesday and the latter on Friday. "Shama Town" had a box office of 25 million on its first day. I thought it would secure the top spot for the week, but I didn't expect it to be eliminated.

"The Dark Side" was kicked to the ground.

"Ip Man: The Prequel", which was released on the same day, was even worse. In addition to attracting some viewers on the first day with the "Ip Man" IP and earning 1.2 million, the box office in the first three days of the weekend was less than 4 million.

The theater chain directly released this film before the release of "The King of Guns" at the end of the month!

A one-week tour of theaters, with a total box office of 7 million.

Cheng Yuan has not been paying attention to domestic news for the time being. He has been accepting interviews from various media these days. Today he will fly to the UK with the crew of "Inception" to attend the world premiere.

Even at the airport, reporters used every opportunity to interview the crew of "Inception."

The focus of the interview is naturally Nolan and Xiao Li, along with Liu Yifei.

After chatting at the airport for half an hour, everyone said goodbye to the reporters and started boarding the plane.

"How are you, are you nervous?" Cheng Yu'an asked the young lady.

Liu Yifei sat next to her: "A bit. I was never so nervous during the global promotion of "The King of Kung Fu"."

"I think you handled the talk show very well before."

"You want to save face." Liu Yifei smiled and continued, "There is a question I have wanted to ask you for a long time. Why is "Twilight" so popular? I have been thinking about it for a few days, but it doesn't make sense."

Yes, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" was released. It was released in 4,518 theaters around the world on its first day, and it took in a global box office of 68 million US dollars that day, breaking last year's "Transformers 2" first-day box office record of 62 million US dollars.

.

However, it failed to surpass the first-day record of its predecessor "New Moon" of US$72.7 million.

Universal was so happy that snot bubbled up in its nose. Starting from the second part, Universal got on the Twilight Saga bandwagon.

Cheng Yu'an explained: "First of all, fantasy literature has always been very popular in the West, such as "The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "Harry Potter". Before "The Twilight Saga" was made into a film and television, the original novels sold very well.

It became popular, with sales and critical acclaim surpassing "Harry Potter" for a time, which accumulated a large number of fans of the original work for the movie."

"Why did you get the right to adapt such a popular novel? You were a big company at that time. Bah, can you change the name of the company? This name sounds so shameless. The company was not very good at that time," Liu Yifei complained.

.

"We picked up 'Twilight'. Not to mention back then, even now, major Hollywood studios still don't believe in film and television adaptations of young people's books. They think the popularity of 'Twilight' was an accident."

"What about the second reason?" Liu Yifei asked him to quickly tell the reason why "Twilight" became popular.

"The second is that "The Twilight Saga" is different from other magical novels. If you look at "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", the stories are mainly based on the adventures of the protagonists, but "The Twilight Saga"

No, he talks about the love between vampires and humans, which is very novel, and adds various elements of werewolves, adventure, suspense, campus, and sadomasochism to the relationship. Coupled with the company's strong production and promotion, this

That’s how the movie became popular.”

To talk about "The Twilight Saga", I can't finish it even if I talk about it for two days and two nights.

"But this movie is too..."

"Bullshit?" Cheng Yu'an laughed.

"I didn't say it, you said it." Liu Yifei smiled.

"It's bullshit, but..." Cheng Yu'an was thinking about what words to say to her.

Liu Yifei said, "Are you trying to say that although it's bloody, it's enough to deceive girls?"

"What I mean is that he fulfills all the fantasies of ordinary girls about the opposite sex and about ideal love. How can it be called cheating money?" Cheng Yu'an said shamelessly.

"Then why don't you make a movie like this in China?" Liu Yifei said.

"Well... isn't this shameful? I can't lose face by making this kind of film in China. When the audience starts scolding me, ah, you Cheng Yu'an made this kind of film to fool us. I can't even resist the scolding.

""The Twilight Saga" has been criticized from the first part to the present, but it has not slowed down the box office rise at all.

"How virtuous!" Liu Yifei smiled and asked him about his future arrangements.

Cheng Yuan said: "After the London premiere, I will go back to China to attend the premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake"."

"Tangshan Earthquake" was released on the 22nd, but the premiere was on the 12th, at the Tangshan Sports Center. It was said that 1.5 million people were invited to watch the movie.

Cheng Yu'an continued: "I will fly back after the premiere of "Tangshan Earthquake"."

Liu Yifei added: "I have to go back at the end of the month to attend Ranqiu and Zhixi's wedding."
Chapter completed!
