The battle for the New Year holidays in 2009 was also quite tragic. Zhu Yanping's [Shuling] was released on December 9, while Lao Touzi's [Sank Slap the Case] ​​was launched on December 10. It was the first battle for the New Year holidays.

[Shiling] starring Zhou Jielun and Lin Zhiling. This film has been promoting a lot of hard work. In recent years, Zhou Jielun’s move to the movie has actually had a good box office. Lin Zhiling is still quite popular as the heroine of [Red Cliff].

Of course, the promotion of [Three Guns Shooting Surprise] has not fallen, and Zhang Wei's comments are also inevitable to boast about it according to the convention. Although Lao Touzi's films have been criticized and have been scolded in recent years, it has to be admitted that Lao Touzi's films always have their own topics and can get high box office every year.

Originally, the media thought this would be a duel in which Mars hit the Earth, but [Shiling] suffered a collapse in reputation since the day of the show, and countless bad reviews on the Internet swept over. The Douban score was only 3.2 at one time. Even the fans of Zhou Jielun and Lin Zhiling were difficult to whitewash the movie, which shows how bad the movie is.

However, what is surprising is that the box office of [Shiling] on the first day was pretty good, reaching 7.56 million, which shows that the fan consumption capacity of Zhou Jielun and Lin Zhiling is still good.

The biggest beneficiary of the collapse of the reputation of [Shiling] is naturally [Sheng Slap the Case Surprise]. Zhang Wei was a little worried about the fact, but as a result, [Shiling] played himself to death.

Of course, Zhang Weiping naturally had to gloat about his competitors' experience. He publicly told the media that [Shuling] was the best movie Zhu Yanping made.

Killing someone will kill you. I guess Zhu Yanping will be so angry that he vomits blood when he hears this. This is Zhu Yanping. If it were a small steel cannon, he would probably have made an appointment with Zhang Wei on the spot. This guy is too harmful.

However, Zhang Wei's review was not very proud for a long time. After the [Three Guns Shooting Surprise] was released, his performance was not much better than [Shiling]. The Internet also received a lot of bad reviews, with a Douban score of 4.2, which is also the lowest-rated movie in the past few years.

Zhang Wei's comments naturally did not admit this, saying that this was a malicious comment from his competitors, but this statement was untenable at all, because the competitors at the same time as [Three Guns Shooting Surprise] were the only competitors in the same period. Isn't it good to have the skills to give yourself a lot of box office?

The media also began to reveal that the project was launched in March? Filming started in June? The filming was completed in October, which was shorter than any previous film of Lao Touzi.

Actually? Lao Mouzi has not made a movie for three years since [The Golden Armor in the City], and a considerable amount of this time is due to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

The grand scene of the opening ceremony of the Olympics is obvious to all, and Lao Touzi made an indelible contribution? But? All this is not in line with the interests of Zhang Weiping. To put it bluntly, it is nothing to leave Lao Touzi. Lao Touzi has no works for three years? It means that the new picture has no profit for three years, which is unacceptable to Zhang Weiping.

So?                                                                                                                              �

But what was unexpected was that the box office of [Three Shots Surprise] was not affected much, or was it? Lao Touzi's movie ratings have been relatively low over the years? Audiences have become accustomed to it.

[Three shots are amazing] The box office in four days actually exceeded 100 million?

This also gives Zhang Weiping the capital to brag? No matter how much the audience scolds, the box office is still so high. What does it prove? It proves that Lao Too's box office appeal is unparalleled!

Of course, Zhang Wei's review was not happy for long. After the [October Siege] was released on December 18, the box office of [Three Guns Shooting Surprise] began to fall like a cliff. With the box office exceeding 100 million in four days, the final box office was only 250 million.

This also made the audience understand why the box office of [Three Guns Shooting Surprise] was so high before. Thanks to the support of [Shuling], the audience seems to be more willing to believe in Lao Taozi at the moment, but once there is a good quality film, the audience will naturally run away.

Just when most people think that [October Siege] is about to become the biggest winner of the 2009 New Year holiday, a Hollywood disaster blockbuster [2012] finally won 466 million yuan in box office and successfully topped the 2009 box office championship.

Not only that, [2012] even created the most popular topic in the world in the next two years, the doomsday of the world in 2012.

On the other hand, at the moment when the New Year holiday was in full swing, [Ip Man 2] finally held a launch conference. For this kung fu film, both the media and the movie fans were looking forward to it.

When Ye Weixin announced that the role of Ye Wen was still played by Zhou Xing, the flashlight on the scene almost shone the background board white.

"Zhou Xing, I heard that Mr. Huang Baiming originally offered a sky-high price of 50 million yuan in this drama, but you didn't agree. Is that true?" This is obviously the news revealed internally. As for the movie, it still needs hype to attract the attention of the audience.

Zhou Xing also gave a positive answer without hesitation.

"Fifty million should be the top pay for Chinese movies. As far as I know, the total investment in [Ip Man 2] is only 150 million. If you reject the pay of 50 million, does it mean that Mr. Huang Baiming offered a higher pay? Will your personal salary such a high pay affect the quality of the final film?" The reporter's question was a bit sharp.

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "These are two questions, but I can make an exception and answer you. First of all, [Ip Man 2] My personal salary is not 50 million, but 40 million."

The reporter was not calm as soon as he appeared. He didn't agree to 50 million before. How could he agree to only receive 40 million? Isn't this a self-reduction of the salary?

Recommended, the app I have been using recently, [          \\Mimi\\Mimi\\\Read\\a\\p\\p         \\w\\w\\w\\w\\.\m\\i\\i\\i\\r\e\a\\d\\c\\o\\m         ] All Android and Apple phones support it!

"And, I only took 10 million cash, and the remaining 30 million was converted into investment, so the audience should not worry, because my personal salary was too high, which led to the decline in the quality of the film." As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, there was another burst of surprise at the scene.

A reporter asked again: "As far as I know, [Ip Man 1] made a big box office sales, and afterwards, you personally obtained more than 100 million yuan in net income. Does this mean that you forced a bondage to the producer?"

Needless to ask, this cliff is a reporter from Xiangjiang, who specializes in trouble.

Ye Weixin seemed to want to say something, but Zhou Xing took the lead: "I don't think it's a forced bondage. First of all, the investment in any movie is limited, and investors also have to consider risks. The pay for a movie starring often accounts for one-third or even one-half of the investment."

"You should know that a movie is not only about the protagonist who needs to get a pay, the director cannot do it in vain, the producer also needs to get a money, the supporting actors also need to get a money, the extras and the venues have to get a money. So can the remaining funds ensure that the film can be completed with high quality?"

"So I think that doing this not only helps investors take risks, but also allows the crew to invest more funds in shooting, which promotes the quality of the film. As for the final box office big sales, how much profit I get, it's all worth it, right?"

As soon as this statement was made, the reporter who just asked the question was speechless. In fact, this model of pay has been implemented in Hollywood for many years. Doing so can greatly promote the progress of the film industry. Otherwise, many international superstars would pay 40 to 50 million US dollars, and there would be few movies that could be invited to them at all.

Hollywood even has a subtle rule. The starring film pay generally does not exceed 20% of the total investment. The rest of the rest will be converted into investment dividends, movies will be sold, and everyone will make money together. If they lose money, they will bear the risk together.

After thinking about it, a reporter raised his hand and asked, "Zhou Xing, do you think this model is suitable for promotion in the country?"

This question is actually difficult to answer. Why has China not followed up with the Hollywood model so successful? To put it bluntly, it is still the problem that the degree of film industrialization is too low.

The process of a foreign film from the script to the post-production special effects is very transparent, but in this regard, it is far from the domestic market. Take the investment amount as an example. It is often claimed that an investment of 100 million is actually worth 60 million.

Why do Chinese actors prefer to get a little less pay than accept this model? To put it bluntly, actors are too small in front of production. Many films that are obviously profitable will eventually be settled and they will lose money. What should you do? Who can I ask for to make a decision?

The reason why Zhou Xing dared to adopt this model is because he has "Zhixing Film and Television" behind him, and a professional producer team followed up throughout the process. From shooting to promotion and distribution, he was familiar with all the links. If he wanted to use tricks, he had no choice at all.

"I personally think this model is not suitable for domestic promotion. After all, there are still a few movies that really make money in China now." Zhou Xing naturally would not call for promotion of this model when his mind was hot. This is obviously a waste of people's jobs. No matter how good the model is, it will follow up when the soil for survival is not sound, that is purely a hooligan.

"Zhou Xing, I heard that one of the plots in this movie is [Wing Chun] vs. [Hong Quan]. As far as I know, you are very proficient in these two types of boxing. So do you think which of these two boxing techniques is more powerful?" Finally, a reporter asked the question about the movie, but never expect it. The reporter can really pay attention to the movie itself. This is another pit that was specially dug for Zhou Xing, and it was a deep pit.

Zhou Xing was accepted in the circle in the early days because of Liu Jialiang, which was Liu Jialiang who recognized Zhou Xing's master as the authentic Hongquan. Speaking of which, Zhou Xing still owed Liu Jialiang a favor.

But now, Zhou Xing plays Ye Man, who represents Wing Chun Fist. If he says Wing Chun Fist is not as powerful as Hong Fist, probably all Wing Chun disciples in the world will not let him go.

Zhou Xing glanced at the reporter and then slowly said: "Actually, there is a line in [Ip Man 1]. I think I have already explained it very clearly. There is no high or low technique, and there is no strongest technique. There is only the strongest person. The number one in the world may be someone, not the technique he uses."

At the end of the launch conference, reporters soon spread the saying "There is no high or low in skills, but the depth of skills" and most viewers still agree with this view.

Of course, there are also people who disagree, such as some so-called "martial arts sects". These sects have always claimed that their martial arts are the best in the world. What's the point of making "no skills"?

So some so-called "martial arts masters" began to accuse Zhou Xing of cheating and stealing reputation in the media and not having any real talent and knowledge. The reason for this ambiguity is that he can only film movies and has poor practical combat capabilities. His own skills are the best in the world.

At the beginning, Zhou Xing was too lazy to pay attention to these bad pens. As a result, these guys seemed to think that there was no risk in striking the car and could also make some popularity. They became more and more arrogant, and even expressed their desire to challenge Zhou Xing, as if they were willing to eliminate harm to the world.

Therefore, Zhou Xing announced the shooting location of [Ip Man 2] on Weibo, and said that except during the shooting period, anyone is welcome to challenge, which can be regarded as a positive response to the Internet's previous suspicion of his actual combat capabilities.

Of course, Zhou Xing did this naturally not to act voluntarily, but mainly to promote a wave of [Ip Man 2]. After all, he also has investments in this drama.

It’s true that Zhou Xing’s Weibo post just released, not only triggered Weibo, but also triggered the entire entertainment industry. This is the first time that a kung fu star has publicly accepted the challenge.

For a time, many senior Kung Fu fans were naturally extremely excited. Over the years, the debate over whether kung fu stars have real kung fu has never stopped.

Most netizens’ attitudes towards kung fu stars are: they are all performed, and they are not good at all in actual combat.

Now there are finally Kung Fu stars who stand up and accept the challenge, which makes many senior Kung Fu fans excited, and some of the characters in the movies feel déjà vu.

However, some of the "sect leaders" who had been clamoring on Weibo before were a little bit waxed. Who would have thought that a big star like Zhou Xing would actually accept challenges on Weibo?

In fact, what are the strengths of these so-called "sect leaders"? I know clearly how dare I challenge the sect?

It is definitely impossible to challenge the door. If you are defeated, how can you take your apprentice to cheat money in the future? But this does not prevent them from verbal provocations against Zhou Xing on Weibo.

Zhou Xing only said one thing about this: Welcome the challenge.

Of course, there are also challenges that are truly confident in their own strength. Zhou Xing asked the crew to shoot the entire process and then posted it on Weibo. He won ten games and won ten times, and he was in the limelight for a while.

However, there are all kinds of people on the Internet, and soon someone spread rumors. Zhou Xing only released what he won, and deleted all the losses. Suddenly, a lot of "masters" who said it was clear that he had challenged him to win.

Zhou Xing was speechless and saw that he had copied the popularity, so he ignored these boring guys.
Chapter completed!
