Although Huali Film and Television launched a marketing campaign and achieved good results, "Maze of the Heart" was limited by its subject matter and soon lost in the subsequent struggle. However, the box office of 47.944 million in the first week was enough for Huali Film and Television.
The investment in "Labyrinth of the Heart" was only 7.7 million. In the first week, it not only recovered the cost, but also made a huge profit. The film will have a long screening period, and the box office may exceed 60 million or even 70 million.
The most important thing is that Li Hyuk has proved his box office appeal. In the whole movie, the director is a newcomer, Cherry is a TV star, Wang Jinsong is not famous, and Li Hyuk is the only one who has a single box office. Wen Zhang and other stars
Ye is in charge, and Li Hyuk has to rely on himself. The early promotion of the movie is almost like saying that there is no such thing, and it has achieved such outstanding results.
The film has a very good reputation among the audience. The Douban score is 8.8, which is the highest score among domestic suspense films. Many major V film critics have praised Li Hyuk's acting skills, especially the scene where he and Wang Jinsong compete.
It is known as the most explosive acting scene of the year.
With such a theme, coupled with the performance of the actors, perhaps "Labyrinth of the Heart" will make a difference during the awards season. Huali Film and Television has already begun planning to let Li Hyuk win the first actor trophy in his career.
It’s still a bit early to compete for awards. On March 21, the romantic comedy movie “Beijing Meets in Seattle” was released. It immediately turned the situation of two giants competing for hegemony into a dominant one. On the day of its premiere, it earned 10.119 million box office. Although it is not high, it is
Enough to win the box office championship of the day.
What is worth noting is that this film has a good reputation and is very dominant in terms of subject matter. It is not as uncomfortable as watching "The Labyrinth of the Heart". The whole viewing process is very relaxed and enjoyable, so the box office continues to rise.
"Beijing Meets Seattle" once again proves the advantages of comedy themes. The cost is not high and the investment is not large, but it is the best theme for Xiaobo. The other theme is youth movies. Xiaoyanzi saw Li Hyuk in the unpopular suspense theme
He still has strong appeal and can’t wait to urge Li Hyuk to join the group.
It happened to be mid-March that "The Dragon King of Gods" was officially finished filming. Li Hyuk had not even taken a few days off before he joined the crew of "Youth". Xiao Yanzi had been waiting for Li Hyuk's schedule for more than half a year, looking forward to the stars and the moon.
Finally, Li Hepan came.
On the day she joined the cast, Da Mi Mi came to visit the cast. According to her, there were many beauties in the cast of "Youth" and she didn't feel at ease.
"Didn't you just finish filming? Are you going to start a new project again?" Li Hyuk sat in the resting area of the studio where the actors rested, chatting with Da Mi Mi.
"It's not because of you that "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has been waiting for you for so long and you haven't come. The investors don't want to delay it, so they asked me to start the project quickly." Da Mi Mi said.
"You don't have to wait for me. It's time to shoot. I've already said that I'm not interested in this project, but I'm not interested anymore. Who is the male lead?" Li He asked.
"You have cooperated with us, Li Yifeng, do you remember him?"
"I know, he's pretty good and suitable." Li He nodded.
Da Mi Mi looked at the studio: "Speaking of which, you are also someone above me. In order to wait for you, Xiao Yanzi, the filming date of the film was postponed for more than half a year. Are you so magical?"
"Well, your husband and I are a lucky star at the box office. How much is the box office of "Maze of the Heart" now?"
"62.356 million..." Wu Qiaoqiao replied from the side.
Li He shrugged: "So you see, a suspense movie, I brought it to this level."
Da Mi Mi nodded: "You have good vision. You can discover this kind of movie and dare to invest. This time, the profit will be at least tens of millions."
"This is the only low-budget film that I can invest in. The salary for "Youth" this time was already 12 million. It was too much money and the script was OK, so I took it." Li Hyuk said.
Da Mi Mi nodded: "Yes, I regret taking on "Little Times" now. The things I filmed are inexplicable. They also became monks halfway. Xiao Yanzi is much better than Guo Xiaosi. No wonder you rejected Little Times in the first place.
He also advised me not to accept it."
Li Hyuk said with relief: "It's okay. "Tiny Times" can still make money by relying on fans. It's just that it's easy to get scolded. I won't do it after this one."
Da Mi Mi said aggrievedly: "You said it was too late. I have already signed a four-movie contract and will star in four "Little Times" movies."
Li He slapped his head: "That's it, it doesn't matter. As long as you can make money, it won't affect your commercial value. I'm afraid of losing money later."
"Can't you say something nice to comfort me?" Da Mi Mi pinched Li He's waist.
"Oh, dear sister Mi, I'm telling you to accept reality and not have any illusions. Didn't we agree that you will be responsible for making money and I will be responsible for winning awards, but it will be difficult for reporters to interview you then." Li He smiled playfully.
.
"What can't be done?"
"Think about it, I have won countless awards. When the time comes, reporters will definitely ask why I won so many awards, but your acting skills are unanimously criticized and there is no improvement. How should I answer?"
Da Mimi has a black thread: "Stop talking so much..."
"I'm just simulating it!" Li He said.
Da Mi Mi picked up the bag: "Okay, it's time for me to return to the set."
"Won't you stay a little longer?" Li He hugged Da Mi Mi.
"Oh no, the crew is all on. What if I, the female lead, are not here?" Da Mi Mi broke away from Li He's arms and placed a passionate kiss on Li He's lips.
"Okay, don't forget to accompany me to the United States next month."
"Okay, I know..."
Da Mi Mi's visit to the crew did not have any impact on the crew. She didn't even say a few words to other crew members, including director Xiao Yanzi. Xiao Yanzi was a new director and lacked experience, so she stumbled a bit at the beginning of filming. Fortunately, Hua
Shishi had anticipated this scene for a long time and hired an assistant director who was a veteran in the industry and had rich experience to help Xiao Yanzi stabilize the crew.
It is not difficult to shoot a youth film. Any scenes involving Li Hyuk are basically a one-step process as long as there are no problems with the actors. Therefore, the filming speed of "To Youth" is very fast.
During the filming of "The Dragon King", most of them were action scenes, and it was common to shoot a scene more than ten times. Although Li Hyuk practiced a lot of martial arts moves, he was inexperienced after all, so there were inevitably some surprises during the filming.
Old Monster Xu has very high requirements for action scenes, so being on the set of "The Dragon King of God" was the most tiring filming for Li Hyuk in his career.
"To Youth" is called a vacation. Li Hyuk didn't even need to read the script and easily performed the feeling that Xiao Yanzi wanted. Li Hyuk couldn't help but sigh, this 12 million salary is really easy to get.
Li Hyuk is happy, but someone is not happy, and that is Zhao Youting, who was snatched away from two leading roles by Li Hyuk. First, "The Dragon King of Gods", he was already a sure star, but Li Hyuk stepped in and snatched away
role.
Forget it, after all, Li Hyuk has the support of investors behind him. The most annoying thing is "To Youth". Director Xiao Yanzi has obviously promised that he will be the male lead, but he didn't expect to turn around and inform him that he hopes to play the second male lead.
How could Zhao Youting endure this insult? He angrily refused to star, and Han replaced him as the second male lead in "To Youth".
All kinds of experiences made Zhao Youting very angry, and he vowed to never end his relationship with Li He...
