Chapter 558: Melee Mode On!
After a deep groan, Yin Jun asked Wang Jing to come to him in two days, and the smart Wang Fat Man certainly understood what Yin Jun meant, and got out of the car and left. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he got home, Yin Jun called around to find out, and finally understood the summer file that began at the end of May.
The first to make the move was Shaw Brothers.
Shaw Brothers has not been very good at making movies in recent years, but their rules have generally not changed, that is, they use film tactics to win the box office.
In the past, usually in a year, Shaw Brothers had twenty or thirty movies released, although the average was a week or two of releases, but because there were many handsome young students and beautiful women, and the directors were of a good standard, not only Xiangjiang could make a little money, but also the key treasure islands, Nanyang, Japan and South Korea, which added up to a lot.
Since last year, because of the repeated suppression by Golden Harvest, especially the comparison of the movies written by Yin Jun, Shaw Brothers movies have not sold very well in their own basic market, Nanyang, and their profits have been greatly reduced.
This is also an important reason why this summer file, Shaw Brothers wants to regroup and make a series of good films.
The first thing is not Wang Jing's movie, but the film of some elderly director Zhang Ceda.
Zhang Ce made two movies last year, and the box office was very average, so even if Zhang Ce is meticulous this year, Shao Yifu's confidence in him is still not big enough.
Therefore, Zhang Ce became a pathfinder.
Starting on May 15th, Zhang Ce's new film "Golden Sword Woman" was released, although it was always violent, but this time he played a trick and let his goddaughter Hui Yinghong play the role of the heroine, and set Di Long, Jiang Dawei and Hui Tianci as the villains.
You must know that Di Long and Jiang Dawei were both heroes, including Hui Tianci, who was also a chic hero in "Shen Shengyi", but this time he suddenly became a villain, which immediately made people interested.
Hui Yinghong is not an unknown person, the recently popular "Huo Yuanjia", she is the No. 1 heroine Zhao Qiannan, of course, it has attracted most fans for the movie.
That's it, this "Golden Sword Woman", which has not appeared in the previous life, although there is not much novelty, but everyone is also interested in watching the chivalrous woman fighting the handsome villain, the box office exceeded 3.5 million in the first week of release, and 2.7 million in the second week, and it was released until June 5th, with a 21-day release period, with a total box office of 8 million, although it will definitely not rank in the top three this year, but it is already Zhang Ce's best result.
But not only in Xiangjiang, it began to be released in Nanyang and overseas in the second week, and it also achieved a lot of box office, and now two weeks have passed, and the box office in other cities has already exceeded 10 million, and it is a big sale.
Shao Yifu was also very surprised by this, but he didn't expect Zhang Ce to be really old.
After giving Zhang Ce and the crew a big red envelope, he was full of Wang Jing's next play.
As a result, those who don't expect to create surprises, and those who look forward to them suddenly become dumb.
Shaw Brothers Cinemas collectively released Wang Jing's movies, plus a few outside, a total of 20 cinemas, and the three-day box office on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday added up to only 390,000, which really hit the street to the point that Wang Fatzi's father didn't know him.
With such a result, not to mention that there is no way to sell it in other cities, the local Shao Yifu also decided to reduce the broadcast in the cinema, and he will be withdrawn for a week at most.
The filming cost of Zhang Ce's "Golden Sword Woman" was only more than 1.6 million, while Wang Jing's shooting cost directly exceeded 2.2 million, but the box office gap is so big, no wonder Wang Jing panicked, for fear that he would be abandoned by the boss of Xiangjiang Film Company.
After all, his last movie was under the banner of Yin Jun helping to review the script, and many people saw his success as Yin Jun's sake.
This time, Wang Jing was holding his breath and preparing to do it himself, but as soon as he came out, he was frightened, so he simply asked Yin Jun for help.
Now he understands that no goddamn reputation is useless, and making money is the last word!
If you do this once or twice, your career as a director will end immediately, how will you support your family and spend your heart at that time?
Leave aside Wang Fatzi.
On the Shaw Brothers side, Wang Jing was originally going to play the June schedule, and the most important schedule in July was handed over to Jiang Long's "Tin Drying You", and August was Du Qifeng's movie to take over.
As a result, now that Wang Jing is finished ahead of schedule, Shao Yifu can only take out "Tin Drying You" in advance, and strive to earn back his face and lining.
Playing against "Tin Drying You" is "Difficult Brothers", which is scheduled to be released this weekend, and "Successful People" in Mecca.
Yin Jun also deliberately asked Guan Shirt why he chose the medium schedule of June.
As a result, Guan Shan said that Golden Harvest's July schedule was for the Xu brothers, and August was for Hong Jinbao, and if he wanted to have a longer schedule, he could only choose June.
Guan Shan also received the news that "Tin Drying You" directly changed the schedule and became June, and he fell in love with him.
Guan Shan's sharpness in the past two years has almost been sharpened, and if he wants to confront Huang Yuanshen, he really has no confidence at all.
Especially after seeing Hui Yinghong's strength and money.
Zhao Qiannan is a supporting role, and Huo Yuanjia is the protagonist!
Even Hui Yinghong is so popular, do you still need to talk about Huang Yuanshen?
But Yin Jun didn't think that Guan Yi would have no chance.
"Tin Drying You" is a good film, especially now Huang Yuanshen can still add a halo to it, but it can't be said that "Difficult Brothers" is not a good film.
It's just as good, especially after Yin Jun removed and added some episodes to make it even more watchable.
"Difficult Brothers" does not rely on stars, but on the storyline, such a movie, as long as there is no lightning point, it will usually be sold in a long stream, just like "Seven Days of Wrong Love".
What's more, with the current size of the Xiangjiang Film Market, there is no problem at all to accommodate two good films at the same time.
"Successful People", a film that Yin Jun has never heard of, is naturally not good enough to snatch the share of the first two films, with a fledgling level like Mecca, the box office of 3 million is about the same.
It's just that if you really want to see the real chapter, you still have to look at July.
The name of the Xu brothers' movie is "Money is Strange", and the schedule has been scheduled, not only many people are looking forward to it, but Yin Jun himself is also looking forward to watching it, after all, in his previous life, Yin Jun watched free movies on the Internet, and he could be amused to laugh, and he would support the Xu brothers in this life-In fact, none of the Xu brothers' movies in the past two years have been left behind.
In the previous life, "Money is Strange" was the third place at the box office of Xiangjiang movies this year, with a box office of only more than 4 million, but because Yin Jun's works have continuously aroused the interest of Xiangjiang people in watching movies, it is estimated that their box office will rise again.
On the Golden Princess's side, it was the battle of "Laughter" cooperated by Shi Tian and Huang Baiming.
This is another movie that Yin Jun has never heard of, but looking at the name, it should be Huang Baiming's model of being good at screenwriting, and it should work before everyone is disgusted by Lao Huang.
After "Laughing Days", Zhang Aijia's "Hitting the Front" is ranked between July and August, if "Laughing Days" is good at the box office, then it will be two weeks at most, and then it will usher in "Thieves and Robbers" directed by Zeng Zhiwei, if the box office is good, then "Thieves and Robbers" will be postponed.
The August file on Golden Harvest's side is naturally Hong Jinbao's new film, this "Brothers Break into the World" is positioned on kung fu comedy, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao are the leading actors, and the heroine They chose Yang Xuanwei, who can fight, and it seems that there is a lot of kung fu.
Shaw Brothers' August file is a little troublesome, not only in August, but also in the most important July file, and they are all a little hesitant now.
Du Qifeng was originally in August, but now it seems that he can only hurry up and rush to July, but Du Qifeng has made several movies before, all of which were not good at the box office, and this time it also made Shao Yifu unconfident.
But Shao Yifu has no one else, Chu Yuan and other directors made movies a few months ago, and they have no plans to make films recently, so they are in a hurry to prepare, it is better not to shoot.
If Wang Jing can get the script in Yin Jun's hands, then according to the speed of his filming, he can fully catch up with the August file.
Yin Jun was a little skeptical, this time Wang Jing was so scared, was there Shao Yifu's shadow in it, and Shao Yifu wanted his own film to last in August.
Of course, between May and August, Heung Kong is not only the movies of the three major companies, it is said that there are more than 20 movies in total that are ready to make money in these four months.
Compared with the prosperous era when Xiangjiang had three or five movies released every week, it is certainly nothing now, but compared with the market in previous years, it has improved a lot.
The film market in any country must be mixed.
The United States is so good, and there are countless street goods every year.
If you want the film market to develop healthily, then you must advocate making good movies, releasing good movies, and letting good movies occupy the mainstream.
Hong Kong also needs to have such rules and regulations.
For example, the movies of the three major film companies, in Yin Jun's view, are basically good films, and their release, although you are fighting for the box office, but this kind of battle is what everyone likes to see.
With the enthusiasm of Xiangjiang people for watching movies, watching one or two movies a week is casual.
But if you are participating in the competition are all bad movies, everyone is not the competition who is better, but the competition who is worse, then Xiangjiang's fans are not fools, after being fooled once or twice, who wants to watch your bad movies again?
The Xiangjiang movie in the previous life collapsed directly in this way.
Therefore, the reason why Yin Jun must support Jiahe and let Jiahe stand up is this.
It is necessary to have a good film company and a good movie to give hope to fans.
Once they have no hope in Hong Kong movies, how can they still sit in the movie hall and watch movies?
