At the end of July, the summer season in mainland China has basically entered the second half.
"Secret Superstar" officially exceeded the 2 billion mark on Monday of its fourth week, once again sweeping the entire summer season.
"Transformers 4", which had a box office potential of 2 billion, was also strongly suppressed. Other movies with good box office such as "Tiny Times 3", "Beijing 81", "See You Again" and other movies with good box office were super high in "Mysterious Superstar"
It also seemed insignificant in front of the box office.
The gimmicks of these movies are not small at all, especially since Guo Jinming and Han Han are facing each other in the film industry.
Moreover, the films shot by the two are completely opposite, making this contrast even more obvious.
As the highest-grossing horror movie in recent years, "Capital 81" is also a dark horse.
However, all this seemed insignificant in front of Tang An.
In addition to the reports about "Mysterious Superstar" and Tang An, the front-page headlines of mainstream media and various media outlets are also about the abstinence incident.
In this regard, the investors and distributors of several other movies are also helpless.
It was released in the summer, and it also matched Tang An and "Transformers 4". They had never expected to surpass these two movies. They just wanted to take advantage of the popular period and release more than ten or two of the two hit movies.
Just drink some soup after ten days.
After all, if it is released on an uncompetitive schedule, the box office might as well be on the summer schedule, even if it has to face strong opponents.
It's just that the box office sales of these movies are very good at the moment. It can be said that they have greatly exceeded the expectations of the film producers. At this time, they are starting to look forward to Shu again.
People are never satisfied. To be able to get so much box office between two blockbuster movies, if there wasn't such a big competition, wouldn't it be possible that the box office would still be soaring?
Unfortunately, without if, all they can do is publicize it like crazy.
But all efforts were in vain. On Tuesday, "Mysterious Superstar" broke the box office record in mainland film history set by "Interstellar" and once again stole the entertainment news headlines from Ke Zhendong.
After the CCTV interview was broadcast one day ago, Ke Zhendong squeezed out "Mysterious Superstar" again, and today he won it back by breaking the record in film history.
These two major events, coupled with Zou Xun's wedding, the broadcast of many popular variety shows and TV series, and several other movies have appeared on hot searches only a handful of times.
Summer time is not just for the film industry, but also for variety shows and TV series.
After breaking the record in film history, "Mysterious Superstar" has not stopped moving forward. It still took in a super high box office of 241 million this week, and the total box office in 25 days reached 2.295 billion.
It's the fourth week. Even though "Mysterious Superstar" has a very high reputation, it can no longer maintain the previous trend, and the decline has fallen to less than 50%.
However, the single-week figure of 241 million still allowed "Secret Superstar" to once again win the weekly box office championship, winning the weekly championship for four consecutive weeks.
"We Will See You Again" ranked third with a revenue of just over 200 million in its second week, and the newly released "The White-Haired Witch: Moonlight Kingdom" took second place with 210 million in its first four days.
The martial arts film produced by Xu Ke also has a classic story. The reputation of the two leading actors has not been completely ruined at this time. The figure of 210 million in four days is considered normal in the popular summer season. After all, they are two blockbuster movies.
It has been released for almost a month.
But of course its reputation is surprisingly poor, on par with "Tiny Times".
Some viewers are more curious about how Wang Xiaoming is taller than Fan Binbin by more than half a head, is as tall as Fan Binbin, and is a bar shorter than Fan Binbin.
The remake of the movie has high box office, the male and female protagonists are famous enough, the reputation is poor, and the script has all the ingredients to become a hot topic.
There is nothing to report about other movies, but "The White-Haired Witch" has attracted a lot of follow-up reports from the media, and various reviews have been published one after another.
Of course, almost all of them are negative reviews.
At the same time, there was another animated film adapted from the game "Dragon Nest", with the voices of Hu Ge and Jing Tian.
32 million in four days, which is considered a good result.
Novel IPs, song IPs, and now game IPs are also out. I don’t know if Tengxun has ever thought about adapting games such as "Cross Fire", "Dropping City and the Weak Warrior" into movies.
The latter player is known as the Eight Million Warriors. It was filmed in 3D. One ticket counts for 50. Each of the Eight Million Warriors has one ticket, which means there is a box office of 400 million.
After all, playing games is much more expensive than going to the movies. It only costs a few hundred yuan to buy a gift package during the holidays. There should be people paying for these dozens of yuan movie tickets.
July has passed. In the previous month, Tang An was definitely the biggest winner.
Bernard also made a lot of money with the two movies "See You Again" and "The White-Haired Witch: Moon Heaven", and Yu Dong also cleared away the haze of delisting from Nasdaq.
Lay's could have become one of the winners of the summer season with "Tiny Times 3", but as a result, the movie's leading actor was in trouble and it was an irreversible scandal, which directly affected the movie's box office.
This once again directly affected the injection of Lay's Pictures into the listed company Lay's.com. All shareholders, including Zhang Zhao himself, had to lose a lot of money.
Hua Yi and Guang Xian have little sense of presence, after all, there are no movies worth hundreds of millions.
However, he was not idle at all. Wang Changtian won Maoyan, which is much more important than a big production. Now most of his energy is focused on Maoyan.
Huayi is preparing for the promotion of films such as "The Better Scene of Little Love", "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life", "One Man's Martial Arts", and "Peace Wheel".
At the same time, the project of "Legend of the Gods" in collaboration with Xiang Huaqiang is also being prepared.
It's so fast, from the intention to cooperate to the filing to formal project establishment, it only takes two or three months.
This is a mythical blockbuster, not a feature film, and "Legend of the Gods" has been in preparation for nearly two years.
All props, exteriors, scenery, script polishing, early models, and special effects have been prepared for almost two years, and have not been officially launched yet.
However, in money laundering movies, this speed is not fast at all, it is completely normal.
Wang Zhongjun also attaches great importance to this film. It has a $500 million production title and a large number of stars. No matter how poorly it is made, there is no problem in making it a box office of $780 million. Huayi will definitely make a profit.
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei talked about this project, and Wang Zhonglei smiled and said, "Xiang Huaqiang has already invited Li Lianlian, Liang Jiahui, and Gu Tianle, which is almost enough."
This film depends on the early box office. The lineup is definitely crucial. It is best to lure all the viewers in on the first weekend.
Wang Zhongjun nodded, "With the addition of Wang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin, it's enough."
As one of the investors and issuers, Huayi also has quotas for several roles.
Wang Xiaoming plays Erlang Shen, and Fan Binbin is of course still Daji.
A few years ago, Fan Binbin played Daji in the TV series "Feng Shen", and the response from the audience was pretty good.
As for Fan Binbin being independent, Wang Zhongjun still gave her this role.
Fan Binbin is now hooked up with Hengda, and Huayi is also developing a movie town with Hengda, so there is still some connection.
Besides, since Shuang Bing and Zou Xun left, the only actresses under Huayi are Yao Chen and Yang Ying, and they are obviously not suitable for this role.
Huayi is the issuer, and there is also a distribution share, which is not a small amount.
The starring role was confirmed, but Wang Zhonglei said, "Brother, there's something wrong with Fan Binbin. She doesn't seem to want to take on this film."
"What's going on?"
Wang Zhongjun frowned. The pay for such a blockbuster film is not small, and the shooting is simple and the time is short. It is definitely a good opportunity to make extra money. With Fan Binbin's personality, how could he not accept it.
Wang Zhonglei explained, "The negotiations were basically settled two days ago, but now when I send someone to negotiate the contract, her agent is obviously pushing back."
"I checked and found out that her agent went to Hantang Media yesterday. I guess it was for Wu Ershan's "Fengshen". He probably also wanted to win the role of Daji."
Wang Zhongjun instantly understood that everyone in the film industry of these two films of the same type knew what was going on, and every actor knew how to choose.
As for why Fan Binbin suddenly changed his attitude after a good discussion before, Wang Zhongjun guessed that he gained confidence after seeing "The White-Haired Witch" doing well at the box office.
However, Wang Zhongjun had no hope for Fan Binbin. During the time Tang An was in Huayi, Fan Binbin took the initiative to get in touch with her many times, but Tang An ignored her and treated her politely with obvious distance.
You must know that Tang An had a good relationship with most of the actors when he was in Huayi, no matter how famous they were, with the exception of a few people including Fan Binbin.
It was obvious that Tang An was somewhat repelled by Fan Binbin, but Wang Zhongjun didn't know the reason and had no interest in knowing.
Although Tang An's casting has always been based on suitability without much personal bias, it is never possible for anyone in this world to treat everything equally, and personal preferences can affect people's choices at any time.
Tang An doesn't want to see Fan Binbin. Even if Fan Binbin is really suitable for the role of Daji, Tang An is unlikely to use her.
Wang Zhongjun didn't care anymore. He smiled and said, "Let's wait until she hits a wall. Then it's time for her to take the initiative to come find her."
Wang Zhonglei nodded and said, "Okay, I guess she doesn't have a chance either."
In a certain cinema, the crew of "The White-Haired Witch" is preparing for the next road show.
The male and female protagonists Wang Xiaoming and Fan Binbin were both there. Although the box office was good, the two protagonists were very worried at this time, as if something was wrong.
Wang Xiaoming glanced at Fan Binbin and suddenly said, "Did your people go to the Han and Tang Dynasties yesterday?"
"That's right."
Fan Binbin nodded and said with a smile.
There are a large number of paparazzi stationed around Han and Tang Media. It is impossible to hide who comes and goes every day. After all, it is not a private meeting.
She actually thought about asking Zhao Jun, the director of the production department of Hantang, to come out alone. After all, Zhao Jun had been the vice president of the production department in Huayi before, so he was an acquaintance.
But I didn’t have time, so I had no choice but to formally come to visit.
Although not many people outside the industry know about Wu Ershan's "Fengshen" trilogy, all the companies and actors in the industry are paying attention. With a 2 billion big production, any role is very attractive to ordinary actors.
.
I don’t know how many people have already taken action. Regardless of whether they know each other or not, the senior executives of Han and Tang Dynasties have reached out to them in a roundabout way, asking for a meeting first.
Fan Binbin is not worried about others knowing. Although the reputation of "The White-Haired Witch" is a bit bad now, it can be considered a success due to the box office.
This is her only movie as a heroine that has been a hit at the box office, and it is also her capital.
With achievements, everything is possible, otherwise it is all in vain.
Moreover, after all, she has not signed a contract with "Legend of the Gods" yet, so she is just shopping around, so there is no problem.
Fan Binbin had not considered Wu Ershan's "Feng Shen" before because she had no success on the big screen, and she could feel Tang An's alienation in Huayi before. She was also confused. She had always been deliberately trying to please, so she should
I have never offended Tang An.
But now that I have achievements and capital, it may not be impossible to win this role.
There are definitely not many actresses with box office appeal in China. If Tang An can reverse Tang An's prejudice against her, the benefits will be more than just one series.
Moreover, the great director who has always been indifferent to him can adapt his attitude. Although it is not to the extent of "today you are indifferent to me, tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to reach high", Fan Binbin believes that with his beauty and means
, there is always a breakthrough!
Fan Binbin thought quite confidently, looked at Wang Xiaoming again, smiled and said, "You should have the same idea as me."
The two "Feng Shen" movies are like one genuine version and one shoddy pirated version. Everyone knows how to choose, and any actor who has some hope will want to fight for it.
ps: Today is Qingming Festival, so I won’t say happy holidays, good night everyone!
