"Jiang Ge, what kind of ecstasy soup did Zhou Yang pour into you? Are you crazy?"
"I just finished watching "The Change" today, and let me tell you the truth. This movie is very shocking. It is the most shocking science fiction film I have seen in the decades of my directing career!"
"I have also watched your "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2". Although this movie is improved compared to the first one, it cannot be the opponent of "Alien", and it is still the first battle, and it is also "Spider-Man"
, when the two movies "King Kong Tiger" were still released, there was too much food for the monks, so don't come and give it away..."
"Zhou Yang is asking you to be cannon fodder, do you know? Stop blocking the car with your mantis!"
"Although you are in Huaxing, although "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" has given you what you want, you should never be inflated as a person, and you must know yourself clearly. This is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I have not told you.
…”
"Listen to my advice and withdraw "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2". It's not too late to withdraw it now! When Mr. Wu Tong heard that you decided the release time of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" without authorization, she was very angry. This movie star
Hui also invested a lot, so don’t fight among yourself!"
"..."
The evening of July 14th.
Django received a phone call.
The call was from Cao Bangguo. On the phone, Cao Bangguo used a rare angry tone and scolded Jiang Ge severely.
After Jiang Ge heard this, his emotions were extremely complicated. On the one hand, he felt that Cao Bangguo looked down upon him so much. On the other hand, he felt sour and a little touched. Even after leaving Xinghui, the two sides were no longer in the same camp, but Cao Bangguo was still in the same camp.
Paying attention to him and advising him, there is a hint of concern between master and disciple in his words.
Jiang Ge did not speak after listening to Cao Bangguo's reprimand, but looked out the window in silence.
Zhou Yang was very kind to him and prepared a large independent office for him. He simply made a request, and Zhou Yang found someone to help decorate and construct the office overnight.
"I know I may lose, or I may be completely defeated, but I want to be a gatekeeper..."
Django watched the promotional video of "Alien" today.
The promotional video was indeed very shocking, and through my own channels, I watched half of the exposed version of "Alien".
After watching it, in addition to being amazed, I also have a strong sense of admiration. This movie is almost the work of a film master. Whether it is the special effects, plot, or dialogue, it touches people's hearts and makes him want to stop, even at this moment.
The image of "Aberration" is still echoing in my mind.
However, facing such a film that was impossible to beat, Django felt a strong desire to try.
"Gatekeeper, you are guarding nothing. Do you know what you are talking about? You can only be cannon fodder!"
“In the past, when Chinese movies encountered Hollywood movies, they would either be withdrawn or give way, so Hollywood movies were slaughtered in China unscrupulously, harvesting our audiences, and even the United States unscrupulously imported their ideologies into our country.
, show off one's strength and show off one's power, I don't want to do that!"
"Then what do you want? Do you want to be like Zhou Yang and fight with "Spider-Man"? Zhou Yang has talent, do you? Zhou Yang has brains, do you have it? You are just an ordinary person! You have even been
Zhou Yang sold it, and you still counted the money for him! What kind of ideology, what kind of show of force, in this era, the box office of your movie is the last word, who cares about the box office of your movie under what circumstances? The winner is the king and the loser is Zhou Yang.
After winning, everything you say now makes sense!"
"Uncle Cao, everyone has to work hard once. If you don't even have the courage to fight, then why do you want to be a director? You might as well go home and sell cabbage!"
"You...you want to make me mad?"
"Uncle Cao, the great era has begun. In this great era, I may become a stepping stone for everyone, but I can at least make them step higher. I, "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2", can still be on the street.
Sharing part of the fans and box office of "Alien", I am not impulsive this time, I just want to tell those bastards in Hollywood that their unscrupulous era is over!"
"..."
Jiang Ge had never quarreled so loudly with Cao Bangguo.
In the past, Jiang Ge only dared to be obedient under Cao Bangguo, taking Cao Bangguo's words as an imperial edict and worshiping him with all his heart.
However, when Jiang Ge saw Zhou Yang cutting through the dark night sky like a shooting star, holding up a piece of light by himself, the once silent Jiang Ge didn't know when something began to change deep in his heart.
This is an exciting era!
In the darkness, Jiang Ge knew that he was an ordinary person and could not be as brilliant as Zhou Yang. He might just be a speck of starlight and then fall into the endless night.
But at least, he bloomed!
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, as if he had never thought that Django would say these words.
When Jiang Ge thought the other party was about to hang up the phone, he found a long sigh coming from the other party.
"You have grown up and have your own opinions..."
"No matter how it ends...you...if you want to come back, I welcome you at any time..."
In this sigh, there was relief, emotion, and helplessness.
The blood in Jiang Ge's heart suddenly stagnated, and then he felt extremely uncomfortable.
……………………
""Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" is actually real!"
"He actually didn't cancel the show. Oh my god, he really wants to play "Mutation"!"
"Oh my god, Director Jiang, this is serious!"
"The pre-sale tickets are out, are you still trying to fake it? It's really a real fight with real swords and guns!"
"There's a good show to watch!"
"The trailer for "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" came out, and I watched it. It was quite exciting, but not as amazing as "The Change". I can only say it is above the passing mark!"
"..."
The release date of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" has caused a sensation in the Chinese film industry.
Netizens found it enthusiastic but also full of doubts.
Some people think this is a hype, while others think "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" will announce its withdrawal sooner or later.
However, when the pre-sale tickets officially started to go on sale, netizens really realized that "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" was actually played for real, and they really planned to compete with "Alien 2"!
The trailer of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" came out together with the pre-sale tickets...
As stunning as "Alien" was, the trailer of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" received a mediocre response. Although the special effects were very detailed, they were far from shocking.
Netizens instinctively feel a sense of loss. This sense of loss is reflected in the Douban film reviews. I don’t know if it’s because Xinghui hired a fake actor or because “Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2” itself is not amazing enough. After the trailer, the original score was 8.8.
"Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" initially dropped to 8.5, and in just one day, it dropped to 8.2...
By the next day, the rating had dropped to 7.3, and at the same time, people on the Internet had begun to criticize it.
But because the first part of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" had a pretty good reputation, the pre-sale tickets for this movie were actually pretty good. Although "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2" was somewhat affected due to the scheduling of "Mutation"
, but still sold more than 70% of the pre-sale tickets, and even the midnight ticket had a ticket purchase rate of more than 60%...
Jiang Ge is very satisfied with this result. As long as people don't refund their tickets, it's guaranteed that the box office will be more than 40 million yuan on the first day of the premiere!
"Director Jiang, "King Kong Tiger" will not work! This movie was released in China on June 28th, and now it is July 18th. It has been released for 20 days, and the daily box office has dropped to 11 million, even
It can't even surpass my "The King's Guard 2". I still have 23 million for "The King's Guard 2"! It was a huge success, hahaha! This movie, which DV company claimed was its trump card and was going to kill the film industry, ended up being just
I got this cheating grade...hahaha!"
"Hollywood movies have never been so scary. It's just that those old men controlled the film industry back then and always made those messy, bad movies. They were also very cowardly. When they saw a Hollywood movie, they would run away without their armor. I wish my parents could do it.
There is no extra leg... In fact, as long as we dare to fight, we can also crush Hollywood movies under our feet!"
"What a coward!"
Early morning of July 18th.
Feng Kai rushed into Jiang Ge's office excitedly. After drinking some wine, he pulled Jiang Ge and talked a lot.
"King of Kong" was poorly received in the Chinese market.
The high-anticipated "King of Kong" failed to overwhelm Zhou Yang's "Spider-Man", and was even overtaken by the later released "The Guardians 2" at the box office!
Although Feng Kai knew that "The King of Kings 2" had no way of competing with "King Kong Tiger" during its heyday, and now that it has surpassed "King Kong Tiger" at the daily box office, the box office of "King Kong Tiger" is on a decline, but Feng Kai
Kai was still extremely excited.
After Jiang Ge heard what Feng Kai said a lot, he was also infected by the excitement, and the blood in his body surged with heat again.
When he saw the total box office of "Spider-Man" in China, he became even more excited.
"Spider-Man" was released on June 20th and has been in theaters for 27 days!
In twenty-seven days, China's total box office has exceeded 1.3 billion yuan!
It is about to exceed 1.4 billion yuan, breaking the box office record set by the movie "Time Travel"!
In the United States, the movie "Spider-Man" has officially received a box office of 250 million yuan, and it has also exploded in North America. It has received just 180 million US dollars so far!
The total box office has exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars, setting a new record for Chinese movies. Even in Hollywood, where blockbusters are constantly emerging, this is an incredible figure!
On the other hand, "King Kong Tiger" continued to fail and sink into the sand. In North America, the sound became less and less, as if it was disappearing into smoke and dust.
……………………
Early morning of July 20th.
On the eve of the release of "Alien"...
There is exciting news from the Chinese film industry!
Witnessed by all the filmmakers and netizens!
The total box office of "Spider-Man" in China has exceeded 1.43 billion, officially breaking the record of "Time Travel"!
Countless filmmakers were extremely excited at this moment!
This is a victory, a shocking counterattack, and a clarion call for Chinese directors to rise in the world!
Jiang Ge and Feng Kai were so inspired that they felt honored to live in this era and witness the madness of this era!
