Chapter 42: Big Mimi's buns on the front bar

On June 27, "Painted Skin 2" premiered.

As the opening work of Huayi's 2012 major production, "Painted Skin 2" is finally about to be launched for audience testing after experiencing various hardships!

The total investment is close to 120 million yuan, plus the promotional expenses, "Painted Skin 2" can definitely support the title of a big production!

Since it is a big production, of course, we have to invite big stars, Chen Kun, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun and other top mainland stars to star, and then invited Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng, who were popular all over the country last year, to join, and also invited Fei Xiang - I don’t understand this!

After spending so much money, of course we have to promote it well.

A grand premiere of a large scale cannot be reduced.

There must be more guests invited.

Then, it was a little embarrassed. Only Chen Kun appeared in the three leading actors.

Even more unexpectedly, Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng did not appear, and even Fei Xiang did not attend!

Among the seven major leading actors that agreed, Chen Kun was the only one who sang a one-man show.

Chen Lin was originally planning to take time to support him, but the premiere was held in Shudu. In addition, Yang Mi was not present, so she didn't know what to say after she went there.

Normally, the three leading actors in the premiere of a movie can only come two of them, so something must be done!

When "Painted Skin 2" was filmed, rumors about Zhao Yanzi and Zhou Xun's fight over ranking issues were heard all the time.

There is a saying in the circle that there is no airtight wall in the world. Things that sound like a lot of noise may be true!

This time, the premiere, neither of them came to attend, so something must be wrong!

Afterwards, the film crew explained that Zhou Xun was unable to get married because she went to Brazil to attend a United Nations environmental conference; Zhao Yanzi wanted to prepare for the paper defense and could not come.

What a far-fetched reason!

However, the release of "Painted Skin 2" did catch up with a good time.

"The Golden Robbery" was robbed by "The Avengers" just a few days after its release.

"The Veteran" was released and he was head-on to confront "Man in Black 3". Fortunately, "The Veteran" has a strong quality!

What was the turn of "Painted Skin 2" when it was released? It was dealt with "The Hunger Games" which had been released for 3 weeks, "Madagascar 3" which had been released for 4 weeks, "The Veteran" and "The Man in Black 3" which had been released for 6 weeks. These movies were so tired that they were almost off the line.

There are still no new Hollywood blockbusters released in the second and third weeks of "Painted Skin 2", which means that "Painted Skin 2" has not suffered a head-on battle with "Holly Tigers".

Even in order to "avoid" "Painted Skin 2", "Amazing Spider-Man" "takes the initiative" to be released on August 30.

Damn, why didn’t we have so many good things when “The Veteran” was released?

It's simply speechless!

"Painted Skin 2" is still quite true. Its box office exceeded 500 million in 13 days after its release. Just as a group of viewers said that another movie that exceeded 1 billion was about to be born, "Painted Skin 2" suddenly lost its box office.

Because "To Youth" is released!

In addition, the reputation of "Painted Skin 2" is really bad. Even though it has obtained the key to extend the release, the cumulative box office performance has reached 620 million, which is almost 200 million lower than its previous life, ranking among the top five domestic movies!

...

As for where the 200 million went, except for some of them being taken away by "The Veteran" which had been released for a longer period of time, most of them were sucked away by "To Youth"!

On July 6, director Xu Jinglei's new work "The Youth That Will Depart" was released, and Chen Lin served as the screenwriter.

These two points alone are enough to trigger a movie-watching craze!

On the same day, "The Code of the World" starring Da Mimi was released. Well, Zhao Wenzhuo is also one of the starring actors!

Many malicious media actually wrote in the report, "The ex-girlfriend fights with her present girlfriend! Who should Chen Lin support?"

Damn it! It's clear that it's just a matter of trouble!

Then, Chen Lin was very decisive in promoting "To Youth" on Weibo, not only verbally, but even practiced it:

1: "To Youth" premiered. Chen Lin came to support him and smiled and said that he was optimistic about director Xu's skills and his girlfriend's debut on the screen;

2: The variety show "To Youth" was promoted, and the noble "Happy Camp" was chosen. In order to promote the movie and hype the topic, Chen Lin even cooperated with the buns on the scene to show off his wife's power through the phone;

3: "To Youth" propaganda, Chen Lin appeared in surprise and presented flowers to Zhao Liying, who was "full of faces";

The reason why I worked so hard is not just because I am the screenwriter of "To Youth", or the movie where Baozi plays the leading role for the first time. The most important thing is that Lao Xu's "To Youth" has no money in the later stage, and Chen Lin invested 15 million yuan, accounting for about one-third of the cost!

Anything that takes up money will become very difficult to avoid!

Lao Xu had to praise Chen Lin in all kinds of ways!

Of course, "To Youth" was filmed pretty well, at least not much better than Zhao Yanzi's version!

So, a director must not invest in his own movies at will!

Otherwise, your judgment will decrease!

This is also the most fundamental reason why "Hong Kong Lost" is not as good as "Hong Kong Lost".

Also, "The Ferryman" is obviously a piece of shit, but the King of Sunglasses still supports it. Nonsense, if you pay, then you will be compensated!

Da Mimi's "Da Wudang" is so bad that Da Mimi didn't attend the premiere at all. It was all supported by Zhao Wenzhuo, who was supported by netizens some time ago.

I originally thought that Zhao Wenzhuo would have many fans, after all, when the "special identity" incident broke out, 90% of netizens across the country "supported" Zhao Wenzhuo.

Then, "Da Wudang" swept 6 million yuan in box office nationwide on July 6!

Not to mention "The Veteran", even the midnight box office of "Painted Skin 2" is higher than it!

What’s even more frustrating is that the reputation of the movie’s audience has plummeted, with 3.9 points!

In sharp contrast, "To Youth" won 59 million yuan on its first day of release, directly driving "Painted Skin 2" out of the box office championship.

The audience's reputation is also good, with Douban scores as high as 7.8.

Time.com also gave a rating of 8.2.

In the next four days, "To Youth" scored 61 million, 62 million, 58 million and 51 million respectively, and the cumulative box office of 290 million in five days!

Another movie that has exceeded 1 billion rhythm!

Many veterans in the industry went crazy and said they couldn't understand it. "Painted Skin 2" had a real cost of 120 million yuan, various cool special effects, and a psychedelic plot. Why can't they beat "To Youth" which costs only 40 million yuan?

It is understandable that if you say "Painted Skin 2" can't beat "Veter", it's true, as a director, Chen Lin is indeed a bit too evil!

But "To Youth" is different. The director is Lao Xu, the male lead is Wang Kai, Huang Lixing, Zhao Youting, Han Geng, and the female lead is Zhao Liying and Wang Likun. There is no box office appeal among several actors!

It just created a box office miracle!
Chapter completed!
