"Hot-blooded loyalty continues the heroic chapter."
“Cultural enterprises adhere to social responsibilities and promote high-quality products.”
“Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, state-owned cultural enterprises have always put social benefits first, adhere to social responsibilities, establish and improve systems and mechanisms to ensure the unity of social benefits and economic benefits, and continuously launch high-quality masterpieces.
"Wolf Warrior 2", co-produced by China Film Co., Ltd., triggered a phenomenon-level communication effect upon its release. As of today, the box office revenue exceeds 5 billion, breaking multiple records for Chinese-language films. The patriotism and humanity displayed in the film
The spirit of communism deeply moved every audience member."
...
In the evening, Li Qian leaned on the sofa and watched the news broadcast.
It's 2017, a new year, and "Wolf Warrior 2" has a two-minute special feature on the news network for the second time.
Counting this month, News Network has repeatedly mentioned that "Wolf Warrior" has appeared on News Network for at least eight minutes since its release.
Not counting other CCTV channels, it is basically bombing propaganda on CCTV.
A large number of middle-aged and elderly people enter the cinema, and it is not without the credit of CCTV.

In addition to promoting the patriotism of the film, there is also recognition of the achievements of the cultural industry, especially the state-owned cultural industry.
"Wolf Warrior 2" has investment from the Jinling Military Region, and China Film has also invested a little bit, and China News Network did not mention China Film less.
Although Li Qian's Future Pictures was not mentioned, the company's market value has soared to 84.2 billion after seven consecutive daily limit increases since the first day of listing.
The numbers are high, but both China Film and Wanda have had more than 10 consecutive daily limit increases.
It should slowly come down in a few days.
"Wolf Warrior 2" broke through the 5 billion mark, directly raising the box office record in mainland film history from more than 3 billion to 5 billion. It is definitely a historic record.
Although so far, "Wolf Warrior 2" has been as controversial as the box office, and with the influence of many netizens who use patriotism to engage in keyboard warrior activities, many people have even begun to dislike the word patriotism.
There are too many NTs on the Internet. It is obviously a patriotic popcorn blockbuster, but it has made the Internet a mess.
However, as the movie's box office exceeded 5 billion and it was released for a month, although it got the extension key, it can be regarded as temporarily coming to an end.
The last movie in the Lunar New Year festival is the comedy movie "Lovers" starring Xiao Yang. In this era when movies are completely entertainment-oriented, comedy movies are probably the best sellers.
Just do one thing and make the audience laugh.
Is it purely funny or something else? As long as it makes the audience laugh, even if it is a little embarrassing, it will not be short of box office.
"The Lover" also did well at the box office. After all, it was the only comedy film of the same period.
It's okay as a funny movie. It's also a remake of a Hollywood comedy from the 1980s. This Hollywood movie is also a remake of a French movie from the 1970s.
The tradition of remakes and sequels is the same all over the world. The only difference is the proportion of good movies produced.
After New Year's Day passed, the Spring Festival came soon.
The Chinese New Year is very early this year, with the Chinese New Year falling on January 27th, and there is no buffer between the Lunar New Year period and the Lunar New Year period.
Last year's Spring Festival "Mermaid" hit a box office of more than 3 billion, and this Spring Festival movie was booked by many blockbusters more than half a year ago.
"Journey to the West", "Kung Fu Yoga", "Hong Kong" and "Riding the Wind and Waves", four films started the competition.
Three comedies, plus a literary young man Han Han, and the annual "Bear Infested".
The most popular ones are of course "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" and "囧". After all, the previous films "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" and "囧" were also phenomenal movies in the past few years.
Although "Journey to the West" has changed directors and actors and is no longer directed by Zhou Xingchi, "囧" has also replaced Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.
Huang Bo didn't have time to concentrate on studying to be a director, and "囧" is the third part of the "囧" series. Xu Zheng didn't know what he had in mind, and turned this movie into a personal drama for the male protagonist.
It's not interesting to act.
The three roles of brother-in-law, wife, and first love have completely become supporting roles.
Li Qian could roughly guess what Xu Zheng was thinking. If the core of a play is only one protagonist, it means that other supporting roles can be replaced at will.
This trend is even more serious in "囧Mom". All other supporting characters are replaceable, and substitutes can be found at any time.
Anyone can replace it, so no one is absolutely necessary.
"囧囧" has a conflict of interest with Wang Baoqiang. As the starring role in the first two films, and "Detective Chinatown" has just been a hit, Wang Baoqiang has enough capital to participate in the investment of "囧囧" and get a piece of it.
cake.
Li Qian did not force them to continue to cooperate. After all, there were issues of interest involved, and Wang Baoqiang was determined to become a director himself and was studying hard.
Only Xu Zheng was left, and the brother-in-law who was responsible for making jokes and making jokes was replaced by Bao Bao'er, who was also a clown.
But this clown is really ugly. He pretends to be crazy and stupid throughout the whole process, which makes people want to beat him up.
Wang Baoqiang does not have the same effect as Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang himself looks honest and lovable. Even if he accidentally does bad things, such as Xu Zheng's laptop was damaged during the Water Splashing Festival in "囧", making Xu Zheng furious, the audience will be more
It's laughter.
When Bao Baoer performed the same mischievous scene... the audience felt the same as Xu Zheng, they all wanted to beat him up.
However, despite the poor response from the audience, it still achieved a high box office of 200 million on the first day.
However, "囧" did not win the box office championship of the day. "Journey to the West" broke the first-day box office record in mainland film history with a box office of 330 million.
For the sequel to "Journey to the West, Conquer the Demons", although Zhou Xingchi is not the director, he is still the producer, and Xu Ke's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Taking the Tiger Mountain" sold a total of 3 billion, reaching his personal peak.
In order to hire him to film the sequel to "Detective Dee", Huayang Media also offered a sky-high director's salary plus dividends.
However, the reputation of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" is far inferior to that of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", and it is not a popcorn commercial blockbuster.
In the eyes of polarization, ordinary viewers criticized the movie as a bad movie.
Another part of the audience used various details and foreshadowing to dazzle the screen.
Anyway, there are mixed reviews.
As a kung fu comedy, Cheng Long's "Kung Fu Yoga" has a solid base, and it also received 110 million on the first day.
Cheng Long's comedies are just the same old routines. Cheng Long's elements are basically integrated into one pot, where it's time to fight, when it's time to be slapstick, and in the end, it's all about the road. However, with the onset of prosopagnosia, it's basically impossible to tell who the actress is.
.
However, during the Spring Festival, the audience’s minimum requirement for a comedy is to be cheerful, and if it does this, it will pass the test.
As for the new film "Riding the Wind and Waves" by literary young man Han Han, it is the one with the best reputation during the Spring Festival.
The story of a son who is aggrieved by his father's opposition to his racing career and goes back to the past. There are also many laughs. For example, Deng Chao, who plays the son, traveled back in time and almost killed his mother. Only at the critical moment did he realize that it was his mother.
, but the name was later changed.
After many years, Deng Chao played his son again, but this time he played his son to someone younger than himself.
It has a good reputation and has some jokes. In addition, Han Han's last movie "We Will Never Die" also has a good reputation. Although it is not as strong as several comedies, it still received 50 million at the box office on the first day.
In addition, "Bear Bears", a children's movie, also received 40 million on the first day, and the market on New Year's Day once again hit a record high.
It can be said that not one of them was a hit, all of them were hits, and all the producers and distributors were happy with it. Hello, me, hello everyone, I’ve had a good year.
Especially Huayang Media, which offered a guarantee of 2 billion for "Journey to the West: Demons". According to the trend of 330 million on the first day, it is very promising to break through 3 billion, which is a huge profit.
Huang Zhongjun was so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. This was a project that he snatched from Li Qian at a high price on the first day. He was happier than making more money.
However, as the day went by, mixed reviews of several movies spread, and the box office trends varied.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Monsters" earned 330 million on its first day, but only earned just over 200 million on the second day.
The next day it was a big dive, everyone’s eyes were stunned, and everyone in the industry was confused.
In the past, no matter how bad a movie was, or a masterpiece, it would not have such a drop the next day. At least it would be stable for a few days.
The first day was so explosive, most of the audience probably came for Zhou Xingchi, and the second day was the normal level.
Although the reputation of "囧" is not very good, its trend is much more normal, with a slight increase and 230 million.
"Kung Fu Yoga" also saw box office growth, taking in 130 million.
"Riding the Wind and Waves" received 60 million the next day.
All four movies were hits, and even if the lowest-end movie in the genre, "Riding the Wind and Waves," could get this box office, it was quite successful.
The joyous Spring Festival period passed quickly, and "囧" ended with a box office of 2.1 billion, reversing "Journey to the West and Conquering the Monsters" to win the Spring Festival box office championship.
In fact, compared to the 200 million on the first day, the box office of 2.1 billion is not high. If it were on the level of "囧囧", it would be at least 3 billion.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" did not take second place. Instead, "Kung Fu Yoga", which surpassed 100 million on its first day, relied on its strong stamina to gross more than 1.6 billion at the box office.
The box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Monsters", which sold 300 million yuan on its first day, plummeted all the way, and fell behind just after the Spring Festival. In the end, it only received more than 1.5 billion box office.
330 million on the first day, with a total box office of more than 1.5 billion, five times the ratio. This is a completely super bad movie trend.
No matter how many metaphors and connotations there are, this box office at least represents the attitude of ordinary audiences.
"Riding the Wind and Waves", as the film with the best reputation, stubbornly broke through the billion mark with a box office of just over 50 million on the first day.
In the spring of 2017, there were one and three billion-dollar movies. Although it was not as high as "Mermaid"'s more than 3 billion, it was still stronger than last year's spring.
Even the humble "Bear Bears" set a new high for the series, surpassing the 500 million mark.
All were hits, and no movie was a loser. The nearly 7 billion box office, plus some other movies, the four major ticket purchase platforms also contributed 1 billion in ticket subsidy for this record-breaking Spring Festival period.
Even if the ticket purchase platform is not accessible, it has not lost. It has gained more users and will be able to create more profits in the future.
However, the only loser is probably Huayang Media, which gave a guarantee of 2 billion for "Journey to the West: Demons".
Although there is no guarantee of 2 billion, which means that the prequel will have a box office of 2 billion, but with a box office of more than 1.5 billion, Huayang Media still suffered a small loss.
As investors, Li Qian and Zhou Xingchi were the biggest winners. They got their profits one year in advance. The inflation in one year alone was a lot.
This Spring Festival, Huang Zhongjun can be said to have experienced the journey from heaven to earth. On the first day of sales of 330 million yuan, he almost jumped with joy.
Even if it dropped to 200 million the next day, I was still full of confidence and felt that breaking 2 billion would be as easy as eating and drinking.
However, after falling again and again, such a perfect start ended up with a box office of just over 1.5 billion points. In this cold winter, it was a solid pour of ice water for Huang Zhongjun.
The kind that is heart-warming.
However, who cares? Everyone who participated in the Spring Festival stalls made a lot of money, and there was no time to celebrate. Who cares about the only one who lost money? At most, he had some air conditioning to chat.
...
The Spring Festival is over. After such a hot month, the market seems to have been hollowed out and suddenly cooled down.
There is also a lack of good movies. Hollywood blockbusters such as "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," "The Wolverine 3," and "Kong's Skull Island" are no longer as popular as they were during the Spring Festival.
The previous film "King Kong Skull Island" was released in 2005, with a running time of 180 minutes and three hours, and it grossed 100 million at the box office.
But this sequel is almost a waste of its predecessor. It’s just a passable commercial blockbuster. Although it did well at the box office, it still made a billion dollars after dipping along the way.
Of course, the biggest flaw is the heroine Jingtian.
Not long ago, when "The Great Wall" was released, Jingtian, as the heroine, was also ridiculed by the crowd. And this time, she is simply the most popular female star in the industry, but she was just scolded.
After three Hollywood blockbusters, the market became even colder. It wasn't until the producers of "A Hundred Birds Worship the Phoenix" knelt down and begged to schedule the film that it became popular.
In a completely entertainment-oriented movie market, this kind of movie is only available to 50% of the audience, and no one goes back to watch it.
...
Li Qian was not idle during this period. The company also released several movies. China Film, Bayi Film Studio, and the Northeast Military Region were mainly responsible for the preparation of the three theme movies. The scripts of more than a dozen directors have not yet been released.
But they haven't finished it yet. Li Qian has completely perfected the script and started writing the storyboard script.
Moreover, just in April, the Malaysian and Australian governments, which are located in the waters where the plane is suspected to have crashed, jointly released the final report on the Air M incident.
Although the report of more than 400 pages did not have anything substantive and the investigation had no results, the final report also means that the matter has come to an end.
The matter has come to an end for the time being, and Li Qian can finally start the "Flight of Destiny" project.
The script was submitted for review again. This time it was just a refined script. There was basically no difference and it passed the review without any twists and turns.
The movie project was officially approved, and "Flight of Destiny", which determines the fate of one or two families, set sail.
