Chapter 68 'The Story of Three Cities'
"Charlotte's Troubles" is of course a good comedy movie, with good reputation and box office feedback.
If Liu Hongtao let Chen Lin participate, he would be sure to achieve a box office of 200 million yuan for this movie.
Unfortunately, Old Liu was determined to refuse Chen Lin.
Not only that, he also specially moved the National Day holiday, which clearly shows that he is fighting against "Hong Kong Empress"!
Although Chen Lin did not participate in the investment in "Hong Kong Lost", he invested half of the investment. He is the second shareholder of "Hong Kong Lost". He should be on the side of "Hong Kong Lost".
It is August 27th, Light Media Office.
Chen Lin, Li Xiaoping and Wang Changtian sat in the small conference room with serious expressions.
Although Light Media made small profits in the first half of 2o15, it could not cover up the major setbacks of investment failures.
A movie almost cleanses the foundation of light - "Zhong Kui Fumo: Snow Demon Spirit" global box office: 400 million investment: 230 million loss: more than 300 million!
When Chen Lin was not optimistic about this project, the old man insisted on doing it. He thought he could play a big game and then take it off!
Fortunately, Li Xiaoping took the initiative to persuade the two of them, and the opinions of the two made great contributions. The light invested only one-fifth and took responsibility, otherwise it would really become a laughing stock in the industry!
"Linzi, why don't we do the ultimate and put the high-definition version online?"
After watching the preview of "Hong Kong Empress" and "Charlotte", Wang Changtian realized that "Hong Kong Empress" was likely to lose to the latter. After listening to Chen Lin's anti-marketing methods, he proposed another method and directly used a killer move!
That is, the content of "Charlotte" was exposed online in advance, and the legendary pirated version was killed!
There is no way, the overlap rate of the viewing groups of the two is too high.
If it was "Nine-Level Demon Tower", Wang Changtian would not be so worried.
"Don't, if you do this, if you are exposed, the light will not be able to gain a foothold in the circle in the future!"
Chen Lin sighed, "I really didn't expect "Hong Kong Empress" to be filmed like that! Can't you do comedy well? I have to add some midlife crisis, crazy!"
"Xu Zheng has his ideas..."
Wang Changtian sighed and looked at Li Xiaoping: "21 Holdings bought Xu Zheng's profits. Should we sell the chips in our hands?"
Xu Zheng carefully made a box office prediction for "Hong Kong Empress" and estimated that it should be around 900 million, so he directly sold his income to 21 Holdings for 150 million yuan. Of course, 21 Holdings also tested the ideas of light.
"Don't, "Lost in Thailand" is too popular. No matter how weak "Lost in Hong Kong" is, the box office is at least 1.5 billion. Don't worry!"
Before Li Xiaoping could speak, Chen Lin robbed Bai, "Also, the most praiseworthy thing about our light is that you sell it. How do you let your colleagues see us?"
"What should I do now? Let the mohua movie rise?"
"Don't worry, the agreed release on August 3O, and now it's time to move to the National Day. I've hired the navy and asked Zhuowei to buy the black history of Chen Teng. We'll release these a week before the movie is released!"
Who is in the circle, who doesn’t have time as a scumbag?
Chen Teng’s straight male cancer is known to the entire network for 2017 years, and his relationship with a girl is unclear.
It will definitely have a big impact on Charlotte!
The film industry is so big, the competition is far more fierce than outsiders imagine. If you are not friends, you can only be enemies. There is no way to go!
"Okay, that's it."
The big old man nodded.
Li Xiaoping looked at Chen Lin with a complicated expression.
This guy is now becoming more and more like a businessman, not a director!
But that's good!
"I'll go back first. By the way, aren't we going to film "Zhu Xian, Qingyun Zhi"? Who are you going to star in?"
Light had already invested in Huanrui as early as 2013, so Huanrui Investment's "Qingyun Zhi" was equivalent to a decision made by Light Media.
This is a big production, with a cost of at least 200 million, so Chen Lin asked.
"We are going to use Huanrui's employees..."
Wang Changtian looked at Li Xiaoping, who stood up and explained, and asked by the way: "They really want Liying to play one of the roles. Do you think it's okay?"
"Water? Goodbye, I'm sure I'll get Liying's Oscar nomination, so don't ruin her in the TV series."
Chen Lin refused directly.
It seems that I guessed right, Huanrui is still planning to shoot "Qingyun Zhi" in the original way.
Alas, I'm so good, I'm photographed like a piece of shit!
Even with the blessing of Bi Yao from Zhao Liying, it cannot cover up the fact that "Qingyun Zhi" is a bad TV series.
"…Okay, then let's find someone else. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Well, Dirire, I think that little girl is quite awesome!"
...
The Chinese film market cooled a lot in August.
Several major blockbusters are all concentrated in July.
The Terminator: Genesis, which was originally highly anticipated by Paramount, has fallen in North America.
They invited Arnold Schwarzenegger and found Alan Taylor, the director of "Thor 2: The Dark World". The most important thing is that this is one of David Ellison's most important plans to fight Hollywood.
Who is David Ellison? You can tell by his last name. Larry Ellison's son, his father is the founder of Oracle Company and ranks the third largest in the world!
It is said that Larry Ellison gave David Ellison $500 million to work hard on his own!
Damn, it's exactly the same as Wang Sicong in China. Of course, we are the RMB and the US dollar!
The large-scale production costing $155 million, the reboot of the "Terminator" series was announced by Paramount to shelve the series indefinitely as soon as it was released!
Of course, "Terminator", the first to enter the mainland market, still has good market appeal in China and has actually won nearly 730 million box office revenue.
Unfortunately, it still cannot fill its huge cost - Hollywood, not just Hollywood, all movies around the world can only earn a quarter of their overseas releases. So, although "7" won a box office of nearly 2.5 billion yuan, Universal can only earn less than 100 million US dollars.
"Terminator: Genesis" is the only movie that is still popular in the entire August market.
Other movies such as "Breaking the Wind" and "The Legend of the Three Cities" did not cause much wave at all and disappeared directly.
"Breaking the Wind" has a good reputation, but unfortunately it tells the sporty theme of bicycles. It is too niche. It is already very good for the box office of over 100 million yuan, so I won't comment.
"The Story of Three Cities" makes people speechless.
Before the movie was released, many people expressed their expectations, look at this lineup!
Zhang Wanting, who has filmed "City of Glass" and "Thief of Time", Liu Qingyun, who has played "Dark War" and "Detective", Tang Wei, who has played "Lust Caution" and "The Moon Full of Hennessy", and Qin Hailu, who has played "Durian Piaopiao", tells the story of his elder brother becoming his parents!
What a thrilling lineup and subject matter!
Yet, it's all over the place.
"The Story of the Three Cities" means sleepiness is greater than poetry.
With such a strong lineup, the box office only earned 11 million!
Huayi is very annoying!
With an investment of 70 to 80 million, most of the filming in China will be transformed into!
If you have to blame the theaters, it is really speechless. "The Story of the Three Cities" is released on the same day as "The Scarlet Sun" and "Assassin Nie Yinniang", and the three have similar screenings.
In three days, the box office of "The Legend of the Three Cities" was only 60,000.
Chapter completed!
