Chapter 98: Fierce Competition for the Lunar New Year
"Reba, it's like this. We are planning to jointly promote a project with Huali Film and Television. I think you are good, so I think you can play the second female lead."
"Can I ask what drama it is?" Reba asked. If it were a drama like "Anarhan", she would rather not film it.
"This drama was written by Li Hyuk himself. It is a science fiction romance drama. I am the female lead and Li Hyuk plays the male lead." Da Mi Mi replied.
Li He did not interrupt, but waved his hand as a greeting.
Reba is relieved, the combination of Da Mi Mi and Li Hyuk is not bad. Needless to say Da Mi Mi, the most popular little flower nowadays, Li Hyuk has become very popular this year. To this day, Li Hyuk starred in the movie "First Love"
The box office of "A Little Thing" has exceeded 200 million. With this, Li Hyuk has become the first star born in the 1990s, and he is only one year older than himself.
The filming of "Anarkhan" tortured her enough. However, after hearing that "The Great Power" was said to be a science fiction romance drama, Reba felt that it was unreliable. Are there any dramas in this category in China?
But she is a contracted artist of Da Mi Mi Studio, and some of her performances are good, so how can she refuse. Moreover, Da Mi Mi is also the leading female actor, so if she has to suffer, Da Mi Mi will also suffer, so Reba did not hesitate and agreed directly.
"Okay, the matter has been decided, it's time for me to go back to school." Li He stood up and said.
Da Mi Mi gave Li He a hug, and then gave Reba a sweet kiss in his stunned eyes.
"Be careful on the road, and don't forget to go home for dinner at night."
"I know..." Li He picked up his schoolbag and went to class.
Reba was smart enough not to ask any more questions. People used to say that Sister Mi had had several boyfriends, but now it seems that Li He is Sister Mi’s new boyfriend!
Da Mi Mi started his grand business plan, which seemed very ambitious. It seemed that this post-1985 actress was going to take a different path from other post-1985 actresses.
But now not many people are paying attention to Big Power, because the fiercest competition for time slots of the year is coming.
"Hello dear viewers, I am the host Yu Shuang, welcome to the "Weekly Movie Observation Report".
Speaking of which, I have recently become obsessed with a TV series called "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This TV series recently came to its finale, with Zhen Huan successfully ascending to the throne and becoming the Queen Mother.
The most embarrassing thing in the play is the death of King Guo. For the sake of his beloved Huan Huan, King Guo finally drank the poisonous wine and died in Zhen Huan's arms. This scene made Yu Shuang watch it.
I burst into tears and cried non-stop. I also wanted to send my regards to the screenwriter and director’s family.
Of course, the Prince Guo played by Li Hyuk completely exceeded my expectations. He mastered the role perfectly, and his superb acting skills were not inferior at all in the scenes with Chen Jianbin and the empress, and were even slightly better."
"Let's not digress. After all, this is "Film Observation", not "TV Observation". Now let's pay attention to the box office situation."
"The box office dark horse "Love Is Not Blind" was finally released on December 11. Before it was released, the film finally grossed 302 million in box office, created countless myths, and shocked everyone.
This movie is destined to be recorded as a milestone in Chinese film history just like "Crazy Stone". I think it is not only a high-grossing movie, but also a model among low-budget movies."
"When talking about this film, I have to mention another film. It is also a low-budget film, produced by Gorgeous Film and Television. "A Little Thing About First Love" released by Bona Pictures has been making rapid progress at the box office since its release. As of yesterday,
It has already received 242 million at the box office, and it is just around the corner to break 250 million."
"However, the fierce Lunar New Year festival is coming. The annual Lunar New Year battle. Are you ready?"
"The above is the entire content of this issue. I am the host Yu Shuang. See you in the next issue."
On December 15th, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" directed by Hong Kong director Xu Laoguai and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by Guo Shi took the lead in kicking off the Lunar New Year holiday. These two commercial blockbusters have changed their holiday schedule
The success pattern of low-budget films shows that blockbusters are always blockbusters.
The two movies did not open midnight screenings, and entered into a fierce competition on the first day. Perhaps the lineup of Mr. Xu and the Kung Fu Emperor was more attractive than the lineup of the National Master and Batman. "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" won the first day.
In one move, the first-day box office was 19.906 million, while "The Thirteen Hairpins" took in 17.408 million.
However, the national teacher is the national teacher. At this time, the decline of "Three Guns" and "The Hawthorn Tree" was changed, and the film's good reputation was good. It bucked the trend in its first week and achieved a first-week box office of 1.43. It successfully won the
Next week's box office champion. "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" narrowly failed, with a box office of 134 million, which is considered a good result.
However, this result did not satisfy both parties. You must know that the box office of "Thirty-day Love" in its first week was as high as 153 million, and the production cost of this film was only more than 16 million. In comparison, "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate"
How much was the production cost? It was 200 million, of which the Kung Fu Emperor's salary alone was as high as 90 million. This salary was enough to make 5.6 "Love Is Not Blind" movies, but the box office was not as high as 5.6 times that of others.
Of course, the accounts cannot be calculated like this. "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has been confirmed to be introduced by many foreign film companies. The film has not yet been released. The overseas copyright producers and distributors have already recovered their costs and made a fortune, leaving only domestic box office.
It can be said to be a complete net profit.
"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" finally made money, but the "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" next door was not so lucky. Guo Shi has never been short of money when making movies, and this time is no different. The investment in the film is as high as 600 million, and Batman Christie alone
Ann Bell's salary alone is as high as 140 million. What's worse is that the overseas copyright sales situation of the film is not optimistic. North America has not been able to obtain a release permit, and other places are also experiencing difficulties.
Whether the film can recoup its cost depends on God’s will...
It is worth mentioning that both films have attracted great attention to two of the actors. Yu Huatian, played by Chen Kun in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", is known as the most beautiful factory official. Ni Ni in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"
, a new generation of Mou girls, it’s hard to say whether her stardom will be as lucky as other Mou girls.
The release of the two blockbusters has severely squeezed the space for other films. As a result, the box office of "A Little Thing About First Love" dropped from 1.216 million on December 14 to 636,000, and the box office fell below one million for the first time.
The box office of "2011", which was released together with "A Little Thing About First Love", has dropped to 90,000, and it can almost be said that it will be forced to withdraw from the movie at any time.
However, the producers of both films have been satisfied. The reason is very simple: they have made money. "2011" is okay, but "A Little Thing About First Love" is exaggerated. The investment of 15 million yuan has now turned out to be nearly
With a box office of 250 million, it ranks among the top ten in the annual box office list.
The media had just finished saying that the success of "Thirty Days of Love" cannot be replicated, but then they turned around and slapped those media in the face with "A Little Thing About First Love". It was so popular that the media didn't even react.
.
The producer, Huali Film and Television, was not satisfied. In addition to continuing to invest in the production of movies, Huali Film and Television also planned to enter the field of TV series. At this time, Power Studio submitted a script and proposed to jointly invest and produce with Huali Film and Television.
This series, the name of the series is: "My Love from the Star"...
