Although the box office of [Seven Swords] did not meet expectations, it still ranked first in the mainland's annual box office rankings with 96 million yuan, which also made the pressure on Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng and his wife a little less. [Seven Swords] lost a certainty, but it just depends on how much losses can be made up for in the final overseas box office.

Of course, this is only temporary, because [Myth] has been scheduled to be released at the end of September, and Mai Zhaohui's [Initial D] will also be released at the same time.

[Myth] Needless to say, the box office of the movies starring Cheng Long has not been too bad for so many years, and the performance in overseas markets is often good.

[Initial text d] Not to mention anything else, Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang joined forces again after [Infernal Affairs]. Obviously, Huanya is pursuing the goal of the series. This is indeed the case. The success of [Infernal Affairs] has not only made a fortune from the box office, but also allowed the company's boss Lin Jianyue to obtain generous returns in the financial market.

This time, Zhou Xing was invited to star in the role of a group of popular actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so they were naturally coming in full swing.

Not only that, Chen Kaige, who has been silent for many years, finally made a big move. As the director of "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Kaige's reputation was no less than that of the national teacher's master. However, since "Farewell My Concubine", the quality of Chen Kaige's works has plummeted, and many people even suspected that "Farewell My Concubine" was directed by his father.

Chen Kai's pressure has been very high over the years, and what makes him even more depressed is that Lao Tou has been in great honor over the years. Looking at Zhang Weiping's face, it's almost like the brand "The No. 1 Chinese Director" on Lao Tou, and he is the kind that goes wherever he goes.

What about Brother Chen Kai? In 1996, the filming of "Fengyue" was a pity that not only failed the box office, but no one could do well in the awards. Brother Chen Kai was not willing to accept it, so in 1998, the filming of "Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin" was even built for this, which cost 1.2 billion yuan. Of course, the money was paid in Hengdian. Unfortunately, this movie was finally very popular.

There is no harm without comparison. After [Hero], Lao Touzi was a god in one battle. Although the reputation of [Ten-side Ambush] was not very good, he really made money. All domestic film and television companies and investment companies want to treat Lao Touzi as the God of Wealth.

This is like two poor boys who were originally similar. A few years later, I am still a poor boy, but you are already rich. If you have money, you will always be proud of me?

So how can Brother Chen Kai tolerate it? It’s just a commercial film, it’s just a profit. Why can’t I do what Lao Too can do?

So, there was such a blockbuster that cost 340 million yuan - [Wuji].

It is said that this "epic masterpiece" that Chen Kaige took three years to prepare has been completed and is in the late stage and is expected to be released at the end of the year.

It is conceivable that with so many strong opponents in the future, the annual box office champion of [Seven Swords] is probably unstable.

[Seven Swords] The painting is already mid-August. Before Zhou Xing can take a breath, he is about to start to devote himself to the promotion of [Initial Word D].

Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang drew on the successful experience of [Seven Swords] and also cut a promotional video at the beginning of the promotion.

The animation with [Initial D] actually has not many audiences in China. Compared with the familiar children's anime such as Doctor Cat and Astro Boy, the animation with adult positioning is very limited.

This is also the reason why Universe Asia bought the adaptation rights of [Initial D]. It is cheap, and Universe Asia's vision is actually very toxic. With the current number of cars in the mainland, only a few can really afford to play racing, but racing movies can fill the regrets in most people's hearts. If you can't afford to play, you can always enjoy the pleasure of watching it? A movie ticket is not expensive.

Compared with the animation version, the quality of the movie version [Initial D] is first-class. At the beginning of the trailer, the picture was pitch black, with only the roar of the motor and the harsh brake sound. Then, the picture turned.

A gt-r was speeding on Akime Mountain, and Yuwen Le easily drove the vehicle with a contemptuous smile on his face. However, suddenly two lights shot from behind, and through the rearview mirror, his eyes gradually became solemn.

A black and white AE86 followed the gt-r car, and the two cars began to rush rapidly. The competition began like lightning. The picture became dark again, and there was still only the roar of the motor and the harsh brakes.

Then, the picture was restored, and gt-r stopped on the side of the road. Yuwen Le slapped the steering wheel hard, but the ae86 was no longer visible.

Is the owner of that car the protagonist? How did it win? This trailer is so stingy that it doesn't even give Zhou Xing a positive face.

However, the effect is surprisingly good, and many movie fans are motivated.

Especially for some viewers who like racing movies, it surprised them. In 2001, Fast and Furious not only won a box office of 200 million US dollars when it was released in North America, but also made a big reputation, and it opened the era of series films. In 2003, Fast and Furious 2 won a box office of 230 million US dollars.

Although Fast and Furious have not been released in the mainland, it does not hinder its spread on the Internet. Pirates have accumulated a lot of audiences for this movie and even the entire racing movie classification.

In fact, many mainland audiences are also hoping that one day domestic movies can produce similar masterpieces. At this time, the appearance of [Initial D] will naturally attract the attention of these audiences.

However, just one trailer is not enough to make them pay for tickets.

So, the trailer 2.0 was released, and Zhou Xing finally showed his face this time. Unlike Yu Wen Le's always nervous, Zhou Xing looked indifferent in the cab, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He even put a glass of water in the gearbox cup holder. The car was floating continuously, but no drop of water was sprinkled?

"Last night I lost to an ae86. He drifted through the corner with inertia. His car was very fast. I only saw him having a tofu shop sign. If you know, please tell him that on Saturday night, I will wait for him in Akime Mountain." Yuwen Le's face was full of dissatisfaction.

However, the picture changed again, a girl with a pure appearance holding Zhou Xing's hand.

"Taohai, the most important thing for people is to find their own world. Only by finding their own world can life be meaningful. I think racing is your world."

The trailer of [Initial D] made the distribution company of [Myth] become nervous. The two movies were released only a week before and after, and they can be said to be the most direct competitor.

Of course, [Myth] is Cheng Long's work after all, and his name is the guarantee of box office. Although the saying of "Boy Month" is a bit old, it is still out of date in 2005.
Chapter completed!
