Chapter 110 Shocking the Records of Movie History

"The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is invested by Xingguang International, but the issuance is handed over to Light.

Chinese-language movies are different from Hollywood production. The cost of Hollywood production and distribution is almost one to one. The largest Chinese-language movies produced cannot be one to one. It is already a big deal to be able to pay 50 million for promotional expenses!

The reason why Light took over the promotion of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is that they are very optimistic about this theme!

In the past two years, most of the works with a box office of over 100 million yuan in Chinese film industry have historical themes, such as "The Golden Armor in the City" and "Night Banquet".

Logically speaking, this kind of historical blockbuster should be very popular among the market. Unfortunately, since the release of "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet", the box office has plummeted, and the cumulative box office in three days has reached 30 million.

The weekend is finally coming, and many actors, including Li Ming, have recommended this movie. Unfortunately, the fans don’t buy it at all.

The box office was released in the first week, with 65 million yuan. What made the producer even more frustrated was its reputation, with a Douban score of 5.6.

In contrast, "Those Years" that have been released for four weeks, earning 110 million yuan in box office.

Almost twice as much as it is!

Nowadays, people don’t pay much attention to the reputation of a movie. Director HK is still the same, and he is trying hard to hit celebrities, and he is all the actors from HK and Taiwan!

Director Li Rengang is the person who has been criticized by netizens the most.

‘I have never heard of the Han Dynasty having pot covers and helmets!’

‘Have these HK directors learned history?’

‘The only line I remembered about in the entire movie was Huang Qiusheng’s sentence “Grilled fish is the best way to go”!’

‘Someone actually gave this movie a five-star review, and he said it was very impressive! Fuck! Since you are called "Hongmen Banquet", please ask you to shoot something that fits history? Legend is not bizarre.’

'If the director made one out of thin air, like the "Narnia Legend", no one cares what you like to make it. But since you adapt it based on historical stories, you must at least have respect for history. The messy and thunder are still thinking about letting us buy it? Go nonsense!'

‘Embroidered Uniform Guard, seeing the dragon take off its armor, the Raptors plus the current Hongmen Banquet, Brother Li’s movie is really not a good match!

Zhang Che, Xu Ke, Li Rengang is worse than the other generation...’

‘It’s better to watch “Those Years” and start with three brushes!’



Shen Lin really wanted to complain, but unfortunately, Li Xiaoping has been forced to ban any comments about "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet".

There is no way, the boss must listen!

Li Xiaoping was a little worried. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. What should I do?

Light treats "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" as a perfect person. It has played all kinds of publicity routines very well. The most popular variety show "Happy Camp" has also been launched. It has done everything it can, but Nima just can't get the box office. What's the solution?

Huang Qiusheng angrily complained on Weibo, "Why are these mainland movie fans so easy to change their minds? Don't you like Li Ming very much? Why don't you even have the mentality of paying for movies?"

A netizen's answer lit up, "That's because your methods of cheating money are too poor! We also have IQ!"

Well, it reflects the mindset of most viewers towards HK actors.

Li Ming's acting skills are also the main thing that everyone criticized. Li Ming is really amazing. He has occupied the title of the four heavenly kings and then disappeared.

"The Beauty of the Country", "Mei Lanfang", "October Siege", and "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" have four major productions, which have not made his status stable, but instead made the financial owners recognize the box office appeal of the so-called king.

Therefore, no major producer has ever looked for him. In recent years, he has been able to play soybeans in some small-produced movies, and most of the directors of these small-produced movies are from HK!

"The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" was swept to the end of "Those Years" and was suppressed very miserably.

It won 82 million in box office results in two weeks of release.

This is like a drop in the bucket for nearly 100 million investments!

Chen Lin naturally had no time to care about these things. This HK promotional trip was very popular and almost became the focus of local entertainment news. Countless movie fans surrounded the hotels where the crew stayed, hoping to meet the male and female protagonists Huang Xuan and Ma Sichun.

The big sale of "Those Years" has made these two people highly popular among the media and the fans.

Although Chen Lin also gained fame, he is a director after all, and his popularity has long reached a certain level. He is far less famous than Huang Xuan and Ma Sichun, the male and female protagonists, who have grown rapidly, especially Huang Xuan, the former literary film star, who is now known as the representative of the new generation of young actors in the mainland!

Maschun is called first love for the people.

Compared to Huang Xuan and Ma Sichun's popularity among the media and movie fans, Chen Lin is more sought after in the circle.

A drama made two protagonists famous, and by the way, Xue Zhiqian, who sang the theme song, became popular in the entire Chinese music scene!

China Film announced that the project launched in 2012 includes "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Nine-Level Demon Tower", which is grandly invited Chen Lin to guide.

Huayi’s two Wang brothers have also proposed in public countless times that they are willing to provide funds for Chen Lin to film.

Chen Lin saw all this, but he was not moved at all.

Not to mention that "Nine-Story Demon Tower" itself is a huge pit, although Huayi is currently the largest private film and television production company, it will soon be surpassed by the light.

Moreover, Da Lao Wang's attitude towards Chen Lin was surprisingly good. The project of "The Veteran" was submitted and he immediately received a reply!

On December 7, 2011, "Those Years" in the fourth week of release counterattacked "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" and grabbed a box office of 160 million yuan.

At this point, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" successfully exceeded the 1 billion box office mark.

The first domestic film to break the box office of one billion yuan was born!

Not only that, just when everyone thought "Those Years" was about to be released, "Those Years" also received the key to postponed release!

The postponement of the release date is still in the New Year holiday!

It is clear that it will exceed the pace of Transformers 3!

Several leaders of the Light met overnight and discussed how much money they could do to get the matter done.

Win the throne of the mainland's annual box office in 2011!

After all, "Transformers 3" only has 1.081 billion.

If this can put Hollywood blockbusters under oneself, it will probably have a certain promotion effect on the entire Chinese film industry!

Chen Lin doesn't care about this. Anyway, the box office statistics are not as pure as later generations. In fact, he is very sure that "Those Years" can win the first place this year. He only has so many viewers who have three or four. In fact, there is nothing wrong with not using any means!
