Chapter 121 2011 Lunar New Year File

The promotional video of "Chinatown Veteran" was uploaded to major media on December 15, 2011.

Director Chen Lin’s new work is the best in the box office history of mainland movies!

Sun Honglei and Lin Gengxing are the stars; the three companies of Light, Huayi and China Film should create a wave of investments.

Moreover, Lin Gengxing, one of the leading actors of Chen Lin's new work, also posted a lawsuit letter on Weibo about termination of the contract with Tang Ren.

The artist sued the company that trained him, which was usually the biggest news.

Unfortunately, the Chinese film industry can no longer tolerate other voices this month, because "The Flowers of War" is head-on in "The Dragon Gate Flying Armor"!

"The Flowers of War" costs 600 million (regardless of whether it is blown out or not, at least they dare to blow it), and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has an investment of 200 million.

Two heavyweight blockbusters in the absolute sense!

Why did you get on the front?

Lao Touzi PK Mr. Xu!

The previous schedule was "The Flowers of War" released on December 15, and "The Dragon Gate Flying Armor" was on December 20.

After all kinds of fights, the New Year blockbuster "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which was originally scheduled to be released on December 20, announced through its official Weibo that it will be released in mainland China on December 16. Soon after, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" once again adjusted the schedule to 2 pm on December 15, which means that it will compete with its opponent "The Flowers of War" on the same day, and the opponent will be released 4 hours ahead of schedule.

"The Flowers of War" is a masterpiece that Lao Touzi has been preparing for four years. It has the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Batman actor Bell joins the team. It is in a strong momentum. Many films have chosen to release early or back off. For example, "The Big Deal", "Wolf Smokes All Over the Land", "Happy Magic", "Roll, Ashin" and so on set schedules in early December; either choose to postpone it, such as "The Dinner Is Crazy", "Eight Stars Hug Happiness" and so on all choose to release in January next year. Only "The Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is not to be outdone and vows to fight to the end with "The Flowers of War".

I don’t know if the bosses of these two families took the wrong medicine, which gives people a feeling of being in the same situation.

Regarding the repeated adjustments to the schedule, Yu Dong, president of Berner Pictures Group, the publisher of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", explained: "After careful weighing, we feel that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" cannot miss this precious weekend on December 16 in the release. The quality of the movie gives us confidence to face any opponent."

Zhang Weiping, the publisher of "The Flowers of War" at the Flowers of War, didn't even take "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" at all. He once said sarcastically: "Everyone has seen 3D, except "Avatar"? The one who lost the most is "Su Qi'er", which one is known as 3D, and he is also the leader of Chou Jie!"

He also bluntly stated that the new picture company will not cooperate with the cinemas under Bernard Pictures, the investor of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor": "The audience of "The Flowers of War" should not go to Bernard to watch it first, because they can't perform (screening)." These words showed that they would ban Bernard to the end.

Regarding Zhang Weiping's remarks, Bernard expressed that he would not take the initiative to join the propaganda war. But while "The Flowers of War" announced the price increase, "The Flowers of War" quietly announced a price reduction, hoping to win the support of theaters with a "low-price strategy". "The Flowers of War" announced another 5 yuan increase based on the original lowest ticket price of 35 yuan, and the proportion of the film crew's box office account increased from 43% to 45%.

At the same time, a good news about "Those Years" came over. The total box office of the film in HK exceeded HK$61.28 million (about RMB 50 million), surpassing Kung Fu and becoming the most popular Chinese-language film in HK's history.

Before Chen Lin could be happy, a large wave of navy immediately arose.

This time, it is not aimed at Chen Lin, but the producers of the two blockbusters slander each other!

Zhang Weiping here said that Mr. Xu was unable to take 3D without ability, and Yu Dong over there said that Lao Too's 3 shots were too bad and could not be watched.

Then the navy took action, major forums and post bars, as long as they can post, there are people from both sides everywhere.

"What "The Flowers of War" completely distorts history! It's still the master's wonderful movie, fighting, and the scenery is picturesque!"

"You must look at history and check historical information yourself, and never watch fictional videos!"

...

Chen Lin was a little confused.

Are these two issuing companies crazy?

No matter how awesome a movie is, you must respect the rules of the movie market.

Have you ever seen "Batman" and "Spider-Man" released on the same day? Why can all six major American companies sit down to negotiate schedules? There are only two blockbusters in Chinese movies, and they insist on killing each other and making jokes all over the world?

This is definitely a tragedy in the history of Chinese film distribution.

Two heavyweight blockbusters bloomed on the same day, and there was no winner, and they were all the worst-case scenarios to make a comeback.

Whether it is Lao Too or Mr. Xu, they are all directors who have made contributions to Chinese films. The purpose of distributing and making movies is to maximize the market for these films, rather than hurting each other.

There is no problem between the two directors, Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping started working!

The media is speculating and the water army is scolding, which is a great harm to the film industry.

Moreover, Zhang Weiping was too crazy, he actually challenged Bernard!

That's Burner, one of the eight major theaters!

When did a small workshop-style film company dare to challenge theaters?

Maybe these two people are hyping each other, or they are really angry,

The smoke of gunpowder is filled with the real and the real is difficult to distinguish between the real and the real, and it is even more difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong. However, after this, the exposure density of the two films has greatly increased.

The result of "hype": "The Flowers of Flowers" that is full of confidence to win a box office of 1 billion has not exceeded 600 million as of January 15, 2012; "Dragon Gate" follows closely with nearly 530 million!

There is no winner.

"The Flowers of War" is definitely a loss, but no one knows how much it will be lost.

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is a little better. At least Bernard has a theater chain, but the basic investment of nearly 200 million yuan, coupled with such intensive publicity, I guess it will be lost!

According to industry insiders, on the same day, the two films lost at least 200 million to 300 million yuan each.

In fact, when the release was scheduled, the photoelectric coordinated, hoping that "The Flowers of Flowers" will be on the 9th, and "The Dragon Gate" will be pushed to the 20th, and the two blockbusters will be staggered for 10 days.

In these 10 days, "The Flowers of War" first won 400 million; then followed by "The Dragon Gate". In this way, "The Flowers of War" can win at least 800 million, and "The Dragon Gate Flying Armor" ended up with almost 700 million.

This will achieve a win-win situation, with the total box office being at least 30% higher than it is now.

Unfortunately, Yu Dong rejected it because his Bernard Cinema was banned, and Zhang Weiping did not allow Bernard to screen "The Flowers of Flowers"!

You can't leave the theater empty, right?

This is the fundamental reason why "Dragon Gate" and "The Flowers of Flowers" were released at the same time on the 15th.

After all, Zhang Weiping was too confident in Lao Too and too contemptuous of Mr. Xu. He always felt that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Su Qi'er" were the same as the same bad movie.
Chapter completed!
