Chapter 405: First Day Box Office Record Month for Domestic Movies
At 6:30 in the evening, almost everyone was here, and the celebrities who were walking on the red carpet outside also came in.
Hantang Media only came with two actors, Liu Ye and Tang Yan. The others were still filming on the set and didn't have time to come over.
Tang Yan is wearing a white slim-fitting skirt with a round head, which is cute, cute and fresh.
Liu Ye looks like a handsome man, and the two of them are just the right height. I guess not many people can play with them.
However, Liu Ye seemed to be in a bad mood, so Tang An made a joke.
"Liu Ye, are you being beaten by your wife now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Yan almost laughed out loud. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly reached out to cover his mouth.
Liu Ye looked weird and shook his head with a wry smile.
"The film "The Founding of the Party" will be filmed in a month or two, and I will start to gain weight again."
It turned out that this was the case, and Tang An understood it.
He plays a ***, and his current image is definitely uncertain. He must gain weight, at least 20 pounds, and his face must be round.
Speaking of which, Liu Ye is also a tough guy. He originally gained 20 pounds to play the leading role of Liu Bang in "The King's Feast".
Then he quit "A Feast for the King" and took over the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow". Not only did he lose the nearly 20 pounds he had just gained, but he also lost an additional 10 pounds.
It's good now, but I have to gain another 20 pounds.
No one can bear this torment!
But there is no way. Actors are such a profession, and every time they make a film, their image must change according to the role.
Tang An felt a little sorry for him. If he hadn't been cast in "Edge of Tomorrow", he had gained weight just in "The King's Feast" and could use it immediately in "The Founding of the Party", which would have saved much trouble.
Tang An could only pat his arm to express comfort, "Go in and take a seat, the premiere will start soon."
At around 6:40, the audience began to enter the venue and the premiere officially began.
The ceremony was hosted by the host of the movie channel. Tang An, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Pang Hong, Wu Ershan and other leading actors took the stage.
"Welcome everyone to attend the world premiere of the movie "Painted Skin 2""
There is nothing special about the premiere. It just talks about the creative process and feelings.
However, several trailers released for this film contained many nudity scenes, causing the host to ask Chen Kun several questions about the sex scene.
Of course, there are still rumors about Zou Xun and Zhao Wei's incompatibility, but they still behave very close to each other in public, and no one can tell the difference.
When finally asked about his expectations for the box office, Tang An confidently gave a number.
"We have an excellent director, Director Wu, as well as Chen Kun, Zou Xun, and Zhao Wei, three of the best actors of the younger generation. I believe that the domestic box office of "Painted Skin 2" will not be less than 700 million!"
It's either 700 million or 800 million. Every director who was asked about their expected box office during this period always had these two figures.
Feng Xiaogang expected 800 million, and Lu Chuan, which was to be released in a week, expected 700 million. Anyway, the good news was blown out first, and no money was needed.
When the box office fails to reach the box office, it must be because of your audience.
Return to your seat and wait for the movie to start.
On Tang An's left was Han Sanping, and across Han Sanping was Wang Zhongjun. Tang An thought for a moment and turned his head and smiled at him.
"Director Wang, I would also like to thank you for giving me Director Teng's "Thirty-three Days of Love"."
"Dr. Tang is so polite." Wang Zhongjun didn't know what Tang An meant, so he chuckled.
What's there to say about a low-budget movie with no box office potential?
Wang Zhongjun was eager to wait until the movie was released to see the regretful expression on Tang An's face.
So what if the actors were replaced by the more famous Deng Chao and Yang Mi? Chen Kun, Zhao Wei, and Zou Xun all hit the streets one after another!
Without further ado, the movie begins.
"Painted Skin 2" was not converted to 3D, there is no need, it was just converted to IMAX.
This screen is the best imax screen in North China and even the country. The screen is close to a square shape and is a regular imax screen. It is not like the other 16:9 elongated screens.
Even if it is only 2dimax, the viewing effect on such a huge screen is very good.
Several major producers appeared on the big screen one by one. As the name of the main creator appeared on the stage, the plot gradually unfolded.
The screenwriter is still the original screenwriter, as well as several other screenwriters of "Painted Skin". The plot is generally the same, but there are some differences in details.
The identities and relationships of the three leading actors have also been adapted from the first film. Huo Xin, played by Chen Kun, and the princess, played by Zhao Wei, were childhood sweethearts. The princess escaped from marriage to find Huo Xin, and was disfigured due to an accident.
Huo Xin could not accept the sudden reality that the princess had escaped from marriage and was preparing to elope with him, and both of them experienced subtle psychological changes.
The little one played by Zou Xun initially violated the rules of the demon world by saving people. He looks more like a good demon than the one who killed people and took out their hearts in the first movie.
Xiao Wei was frozen in the ice hell for five hundred years and suffered terribly. Faced with fate, Xiao Wei had only two choices to escape from the ice cave.
Either be caught back by the icy tongue of the ice hell, or gain a heart of active devotion and truly become an adult.
Until she met the princess and began to instill in the princess that Huo Xin did not accept her because she was disfigured, and that a man's love for a woman was nothing but lustful love.
The princess began to wear Xiao Wei's skin to seduce Huo Xin, and Xiao Wei also used magic to confuse Huo Xin.
When she experienced the pleasure of the body for the first time, the princess began to believe in the power of beauty that Xiao Wei said.
In the end, Huo Xin knew everything about Xiao Wei and the princess. He went to find the princess who had become Xiao Wei, confessed his feelings to the princess, and blinded himself in front of her so that he would not be raped by this. With Zhang Pi confused, the princess no longer has to eat people's hearts.
He took the princess to find Xiao Wei, and after a fierce battle, he rescued Xiao Wei. Huo Xin asked Xiao Wei to take away his heart and return the princess's heart to her. Xiao Wei hugged the princess and said, "The human heart is warm. Tears It’s bitter, but the azalea is really fragrant.”
Finally, the princess came back and her appearance improved. Huo Xin and his princess lived a happy life together without shame or impatience.
Domestic commercial blockbusters above the passing mark should at least have a complete plot that is clichéd and close to reality.
The costumes, scenery, and acting skills are all very good. If you can do so much, it's half the battle.
It is much better than the original version. The final film originally edited by Wu Ershan was 130 minutes, but Tang An asked to shorten it to 103 minutes.
Movies are short and it is more difficult to tell a story well than TV dramas, but you can't make it too protracted for the sake of completeness of the story.
It's not a very complicated plot, and even 100 minutes is too long.
However, Zhao Wei's performance was not as good as in the first film, and he regressed a lot, far inferior to Zou Xun.
Compared with the harsh and realistic performances in the early stage, Zou Xun in "Painted Skin 2" is more freehand.
Although the film's subsequent reviews were not good, for a sequel to a domestic commercial blockbuster and a costume film, it is already very qualified.
In the early morning of July 2, yesterday’s box office statistics came out.
"Painted Skin 2" relied on the reputation of the first part and the quality above the passing mark. The three major companies jointly promoted it and achieved a first-day box office of 33 million with 65% of the film schedule, which was exactly the same as the first-day box office of "Avatar".
This figure undoubtedly occupied the top spot at the box office that day, and broke the first-day box office record for Chinese-language films set by "China Partners" with 27.5 million. It is also far away from the first-day box office record for mainland movies set by "Transformers 2" of 34 million.
There is only a difference of 1 million.
