Episode 29 Crazy 2019 calmly copes with the cold winter
2019 is destined to be a year worth remembering in the Chinese film industry.
During the Spring Festival in February, "The Wandering Earth" had 6.1 billion, "Crazy Aliens" had 2.5 billion, and "Flying Life" had 1.5 billion.
"Avengers 4" will be released in April. Hawkeye and Black Widow perform a peerless sadomasochism, die and retreat, Iron Man is a mortal comparable to a god, and makes a heroic sacrifice. The plot of the first major phase of the Marvel Universe ends, and the whole movie brings tears to the eyes several times.
, popular all over the world.
The mainland box office alone reached 5.2 billion, becoming the third film in the mainland film market to exceed 5 billion.
Two 5 billion movies have already been released before the summer season. Countless people are exclaiming about this year's movie market, but this is not over yet.
When this year’s summer season arrived, it was even called the strongest summer season in history.
In June, Cao Xuan's "John Wick" series was the first to be released. With its cool and smooth action and narrative style, the film was a great success.
The North American box office was 181 million U.S. dollars, ranking among the top 15 in North America's annual rankings. The mainland box office was 2.7 billion, and the cumulative global box office totaled 780 million U.S. dollars, ranking second among Cao Xuan's personal Hollywood movie box office.
Ranking first is "Hawkeye 2," which was released last year and grossed US$1.2 billion at the global box office.
Among the superhero solo movies in the past two years, it is second only to "Black Panther" supported by countless black brothers, and better than "Aquaman", "Joker", "Captain Marvel", "Deadpool 2", "Ant-Man 2" and "Venom"
It’s hard to say that one of them was not affected by the crazy summer season, but I can’t understand it. Moreover, the subject matter and depth of that movie are relatively low, especially before word-of-mouth fermentation, few people like to watch tragedies or empathize with them.
People are willing to leave the theater.
Come to Cao Xuan and learn that he has decided to directly donate 5% of the film's total profits. Come to the movie, it became a hit and increased it to 10%. Hu Ge is in love!
Although the domestic box office of "John Wick" of 2.7 billion is lower than these super phenomenal blockbuster hits, as an action movie, such a result is very impressive, and Cao Xuan plays a major role in it.
The people inside that melon knew it, and even within Fanxing there were only a few people.
But when he asked Cao Xuan to choose to retreat, it was also my character. I loved power, but I wanted to lose the opportunity to make a smooth landing with Chinese films.
But I also know why. It may be that Cao Xuan and Fanxing have performed too explosively in the past six months, or that Lin Fa has made few contributions to the Film Association in the following years and has no connections or strength.
"Ghost blows out the lamp" series
Beforehand, Cao Xuan and the crew of "You Are the God of Medicine" announced that 10% of the profits from the movie would be used to help care for some leukemia patients and terminally ill patients.
That kind of support lasted until August, when "You Are the God of Medicine" starring Cao Xuan was released.
Because we see hope in it, we are willing to support and see movies like that succeed...
The phenomenon-level mini-hit caused a movie-watching frenzy and received excellent word-of-mouth quality. It also filled the gap in some genres of Chinese-language movies.
Some of those projects have been fighting head-on in the past eight years to maintain the market and blood. Some of them will wait for the dawn to prepare for the recovery of the film and television winter.
Although Chen has deep qualifications, his status, ability and achievements are far inferior to Cao Xuan. It is even ugly. At the current point, Cao Xuan is not the actual number one person in Chinese films. I am asked to step down and find someone weak.
It’s also interesting for the juniors to hold back.
I still can’t understand it, Hu Ge is already 70 years old, and he has been the best man for many times, so it’s time to find a wife. Lin Fa complains about it, but in private he still calls to congratulate and wish him well. He just waits for marriage and childbirth.
A bag...
Before the official change of leadership, people in the industry also expressed shock. But if you think about it casually, it is reasonable.
"The Wandering Earth 2"
Cao Xuan also officially became the billionaire actor in 2019, ranking alongside Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, Depp, Selol Jackson (Director Fury) and other bad Hollywood super-little names.
I have been in the industry for decades and have been a leader among young people. There are few things that have not become my mission and responsibility. Few people thought it was "You Are the God of Medicine" starring Lin Fa, and no one thought it was "You Are the God of Medicine" starring Lin Fa.
They guessed it was "You and Your Motherland" released during the National Day release, and even fewer people judged it to be "Detective Chinatown 3" released during the Spring Festival next year.
In the first half of 2019, Cao Xuan didn't do much filming, but he was no more busy than before. He spent all his spare time on eating to relieve his boredom.
Cao Xuan dared to swear that he had never done anything like that. After all, my successor was my master, so I had to avoid a lot of suspicion, and if I was really unintentional, I might have lost so few of my own people.
That movie is the seventh independently produced film by Fox Animation, a well-known animation company in the industry.
Before that movie was released, it even promoted changes in relevant medical reform policies to a certain extent, and truly realized that the movie changed reality.
It's not that the thorn in people's minds or hearts is removed, the breakup will be sooner or later. Even the Empress of the West Palace cares too little about whether Lin Fabo is a vicious person. There is no public opinion on that matter. Billions of donations for charity.
It was donated for free.
His next independently produced "Journey to the West: Return of the Little Saint" grossed over 1 billion at the box office, breaking the box office record for Chinese animation movies and giving Chinese animation a shot in the arm.
Yes, Boss Cao is also a person who makes money and is very incompetent.
I had an affair with my bad brother Zhai Bo, and the situation of that person was actually not a problem at first, but the key point was that he was too ruthless, and the first incident got out of control, and the official intervened, and the attempt to commit suicide was successful.
Wen Zhang and his wife broke up!
So Boss Cao stood up, and even though he knew what the future would bring, he still insisted on promoting related projects.
To be honest, few people expected that result, including Cao Xuan himself.
Due to the needs of the plot of the movie, few plots of the heroine were adapted in the later stage. In fact, Lu Yong, the prototype of Lu Yong, was basically making money, so the movie did some derogatory treatment of her.
Because I personally have less influence on the Music Association, I have participated in some for a long time, and I am the most valued one in the Mesozoic era. Although the Film Association is also the vice chairman, I was not just a handful in the early years. Before my master stepped down, I only participated in a few
Work.
That comment was extraordinary. At that time, it aroused various analyzes by many Zhihu Xiaov, and few people even asserted that it might be unintentional to create momentum, and that Cao Xuan would become a representative of Chinese-language films.
As a result, movie fans across the country happily ushered in another movie-watching frenzy.
Personally speaking, "Hawkeye 2" has the lowest box office among individual movies, but the starring movie has to be the "Avengers" series, which has accumulated more than 8 billion US dollars.
But after the Spring Festival, there was still a matter of filmmaking, but before the Spring Festival, it was no longer vague. Before the summer vacation, Cao Xuan was invited to talk to his subordinates and was confirmed to be the leader of the Film Association.
Since there is a way to prevent it, face it calmly and do everything you can to minimize the loss.
Cao Xuan was able to step down because of his young age and international status. Within the association, in terms of qualifications, achievements, and strength, there was still no one who could suppress me.
Among them, the Asian region alone contributed more than 700 million US dollars. Marvel wanted to start "Hawkeye 3" and even considered resurrecting the White Widow. Unfortunately, Lin Fabo and Widow Sister agreed.
Boss Cao vaguely recalled the charming posture of the other party when the young men in the circle were fishing together. Although he was a little bit arrogant, his masculinity was indeed one of the strongest I have ever seen.
Wu’s handsome uncle has overturned his car!
From the bottom of my heart, Boss Cao actually wants to take over that class. At most, he wants to take over at this time, because I am more vague than anyone about what the next eight years will mean.
That was something Lin Fa had discussed with Mr. Lu Yong, the prototype of the movie, in advance.
Even official media have come on board, with the lowest-rated ones even calling Fanxing "the conscience and backbone of Chinese cinema, Sister Zhiling is getting married!"
There are very few people who complain about Fanxing's marketing, but there are still a few people who support those two movies.
Boss Cao was very happy, and I vowed in the next chapter that all the celebrities are working hard for their careers, but now I was slapped in the face.
It was Lin Fabo and acting, and there was even a break in making movies for a few years, so I could only wait for the collective small explosion in those two years before reaching the top in one fell swoop.
Cao Xuan's ranking among those tens of billion-dollar movie stars is still quite low, and his gold content is very weak.
Taking over at that time meant that I had a heavier burden. I just had to carry the stars through. Even in rare cases in Chinese movies, I had to hold the tiller.
The idea of making a small amount of money from Chinese comics has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since then, attracting a small amount of capital investment, activating and cultivating fewer practitioners and industry elites.
At least a few of them rely on Marvel movies to make up the numbers, and Cao Xuan has not had a few successful movie series and works in Marvel, and the performance of Chinese-language movies is also very impressive. Taken together, it is indeed
Those people are considered the most stable.
It must be said that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 6.1 billion, taking advantage of the revitalization of domestic science fiction movies, and the box office of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" exceeded 5 billion, but it was not a small banner to revitalize national comics.
No one has ever thought about who is the eighth Chinese-language movie with over 5 billion yuan?
Even so, with a box office of 4.2 billion, "You Are the God of Medicine" has limited popularity. With an ultra-low 9.3 rating on Time.com, it is basically guaranteed to be the number one word-of-mouth movie of the year.
For this reason, Cao Xuan personally went to Mr. Lu to explain the situation and said that he would do a little publicity for me before the movie was released to prove my innocence.
The same as the previous ones, "You Are the God of Medicine" has more realistic and social elements, and the movie is also thought-provoking, making few people shed tears in the theater.
In the end, the box office of the movie "You Are the God of Medicine" unfortunately stopped at 4.2 billion.
In the eyes of few people, Cao Xuan should take over in the Music Association. Even I think so. I just wait for seniority and wait for the seniors to get in, and then step down.
The entire Chinese film industry will usher in a cold winter!
Because of that incident, Mr. Lu admired Cao Xuan very much. Even though the heroine in "You Are the God of Medicine" did not have some good settings, I still said seven things. In the interview beforehand, he also praised Lin Fabo and thought he was a vicious character.
people.
At that time, Mr. Lu and the crew agreed on a plan of 2 million RMB and an additional 300,000 RMB for every RMB 100 million box office.
Perhaps the box office of that movie was not as crazy as the later ones, but the related discussion may even be the lowest among the several movies.
During this period, Fox Animation also participated in the production and investment of some animation movies, but the only independent production was "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World".
The first week's box office was 650 million, and the second week's box office exceeded 2 billion. The industry called it the animated version of "Wolf Warrior".
However, taking into account the audience's expectations and the unstoppable momentum at this time, after discussion, we finally decided to stick to the original release schedule.
Very few comic fans are looking forward to that movie, and it has even become an unpopular movie in the summer, which is very rare for an anime movie.
Even after reaching that level, it is necessary to compete for a lower position. At least Boss Cao has that intention.
It’s not that the music association is suffering because the successors trained by young people are being pushed into the corner. It’s the seniors of many associations who are so angry that they want to curse. In July, the animated movie "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" was released.
"The Wandering Earth", "The Devil Boy of Nezha Comes to the World", "You Are the God of Medicine", one science fiction, one animation and one realism theme.
At that point, Fanxing and Cao Xuan are still unstoppable. They can only hide from others, not myself.
If I were to judge only by the box office, I would probably be in and out of Marvel. For me, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder, if I successfully check out that level, I would have to worry about the rest.
On the contrary, as for the Musicians Association, although Lin Fa is very good in the pop music world, pop music only occupies a part, or even an important position, in the composition of the Musicians Association.
Sure enough, in the long-term change of the Film Association, Cao Xuan, who was only 44 years old, succeeded his teacher and was elected as the chairman of the 10th China Film Association.
In the Film Association, there have been rumors that Chen Daoming would take over, and various subsequent signs have shown that this is indeed not the case.
The other investors in the film crew would certainly refuse to pay the money, so I would personally make up the money.
Marvel wants to lose face, but we both still want to be complained about by fans...
On the other hand, almost half of the vice-chairmen at that time, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Bo, Cheng Long, Wu Jing, Chen Hanzhu, and Gao Yang (head of Fanxing Cinemas), were friends with Lin Fa and even me.
It's an exaggeration to say that the movie was about to be withdrawn because it was because it was afraid of others.
After all, few people have no limit on spending money to watch movies. They can’t do it once or twice a year, but many people will persuade them to go in seven or seven times a year.
The new mythological universe "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"
"John Wick" series
The reason why I want to withdraw is because the audience spent too much in the second half of the year. Eight 5 billion movies, few people think that will slightly dissipate some people's desire to watch movies.
In fact, Cao Xuan is definitely willing to participate in some other Marvel movies, such as "Captain America", "Spider-Man", "Thor" and so on. I would have reached the top a few years earlier.
In times of crisis, I have no responsibility!
The main theme series of short films, "Meritorious Service", which Cao Xuan personally served as the producer, and the first film "Literary and Martial Li Yannian".
For example, singers like those in the military may seem inconspicuous, but their actual status is very transcendent. Cao Xuan is also very embarrassed, not to mention that I haven't entered the music scene yet, which is obviously a weakening for myself.
So at first glance, Cao Xuan is indeed more suitable for the Film Association, and he cannot directly step down.
Mr. Lu knew Xiaoyi well and refused Cao Xuan's request before he was determined. However, I did not accept the compensation from the crew and hoped that the crew would donate the money.
After that, various parties estimated that the box office of the movie would exceed 1.5 billion, but when the movie was actually released, we knew what kind of monster we were waiting for.
But everyone thought wrong, because no one thought that an anime movie would become that popular.
Before the summer vacation, Cao Xuan and Fanxing's prestige in the film field and in the hearts of movie fans reached its peak.
