Chapter 556 The Melee Mode Is On!
After pondering for a while, Yin Jun asked Wang Jing to come look for him in two days. Of course, the smart Fatty Wang understood what Yin Jun meant, and got out of the car gratefully and left.
As soon as he got home, Yin Jun made a phone call to find out, and finally got to know a lot about the summer vacation that started at the end of May.
It was Shaw Brothers who took the lead.
Shaw Brothers has not been very good at making movies in the past few years, but their rules generally have not changed, that is, to use film tactics to win the box office.
In the past, usually in a year, Shaw Brothers has 20 or 30 films released. Although the average release time is only a week or two, but because there are many handsome young men and beautiful women, and the directors are also of good quality, not only Xiangjiang can make a little money, but the key is Taiwan's Treasure Island, Nanyang, Japan and South Korea can also make money, so adding up, it's not a lot.
Since last year, due to the repeated suppression by Golden Harvest, especially the comparison of the films written by Yin Jun, Shaw Brothers films in their basic market - Nanyang, have not sold very well, and their profits have been greatly reduced.
This is also an important reason why Shaw Brothers wants to regroup and make a series of good films this summer.
It was not Wang Jing's movie that took the lead, but a movie directed by some old director Chuck.
Chuck made two movies last year, and the box office was very average, so even though Chuck has made great efforts this year, Shao Yifu still does not have enough confidence in him.
Therefore, Chuck became a pathfinder.
Starting on May 15th, Chuck's new film "Golden Sword Woman" was released. Although it is always violent, but this time he played a trick and asked his goddaughter Huiying Hong to be the heroine. The three of Wei Hehui and Tianci are all set to become big villains.
You know, originally Di Long and Jiang Dawei were both heroes, including Hui Tianci, who is also a handsome hero in "Shen Shengyi". This time, he suddenly became a villain, which immediately made people interested.
Hui Yinghong is not an unknown person, she is the No. 1 heroine Zhao Qiannan in "Fearless", which has become a huge hit recently, and of course she has attracted most of the fans for the movie.
That's it, this "Golden Sword Woman", which has never appeared in the previous life, although there is not much new ideas, but everyone is also interested in watching the heroine and the handsome villain. The box office exceeded 3.5 million in the first week of its release. There are also 2.7 million in the second week, and it will be released until June 5. During the 21-day release period, the total box office is 8 million. Although it is definitely not in the top three this year, it is already Chuck's best result.
But not only in Xiangjiang, it was screened in Nanyang and overseas in the second week, and it also achieved a lot of box office. Now that two weeks have passed, the box office in other places has already exceeded 10 million, which is a big hit.
Shao Yifu was also very surprised by this, but he didn't expect that Chuck was really young.
After giving Chuck and the crew a big red envelope, he was full of Wang Jing's next play.
As a result, those who were not expecting created surprises, and those who were looking forward to it suddenly fell silent.
Shaw Cinemas collectively screened Wang Jing's movies, plus a few outside theaters, a total of 20 cinemas. The three-day box office on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday added up to only 390,000. It really hit the street for Fatty Wang. Dad doesn't know him anymore.
Such a result, not to mention that there is no way to sell it in other places, Shao Yifu in the local area also decided to reduce the movie theaters, and withdraw it for him within a week at most.
Chuck's "Golden Sword Woman" cost only more than 1.6 million yuan, while Wang Jing's filming cost directly exceeded 2.2 million yuan, but the box office gap is so large. abandoned.
After all, his last movie was under the banner of Yin Jun helping to review the script, and many people regarded his success as Yin Jun's reason.
This time, Wang Jing held his breath and prepared to do something big by himself, but he was frightened when he came out, so he simply asked Yin Jun for help.
Now he understands that his mother's reputation is useless, making money is the last word!
If you do this one or two more times, your career as a director will be over immediately. How will you support your family and have fun?
Fatty Wang aside.
For Shaw Brothers, Wang Jing originally planned to play the June schedule, and the most important July schedule was handed over to Jiang Long's "Xi Sun You", and Du Qifeng's film took over in August.
As a result, Wang Jing was finished early, and as a last resort, Shao Yifu could only release "Xi Sun You" in advance, trying to earn back his face and reputation.
The opposite of "Tin Sun You" is "Brothers and Brothers", which is scheduled to be released this weekend, and Mecca's "Successful People".
Yin Jun also specifically asked Guan Shan why he chose the mid-level schedule of June.
In the end, Guan Shan said that Golden Harvest's July schedule is for the Xu brothers, and August is for Hung Jinbao. If he wants to have a longer schedule for himself, he can only choose June.
Guan Shan also received the news, knowing that "Xi Sun You" was directly rescheduled and changed to June, which matched him.
Guan Shan's vigor in the past two years has almost worn out. Thinking about fighting against Huang Yuanshen, he really has no confidence at all.
Especially after seeing Huiying Hong's ability to make money.
Zhao Qiannan is a supporting role, Huo Yuanjia is the protagonist!
Even Huiyinghong is so popular, why should we talk about Huang Yuanshen?
But Yin Jun doesn't think Guan Shan has no chance.
"Tin Showing You" is a good film, especially now that Huang Yuanshen can add halo to it, but it cannot be said that "Brothers and Difficult Brothers" is not a good film.
It's still very good, especially when Yin Jun deleted and added some plots to make it more watchable.
"Brothers and Brothers" does not rely on the stars, but on the storyline. As long as such a movie has no surprises, it will usually sell slowly, just like "Seven Days of Love".
What's more, with the current size of the Xiangjiang film market, there is no problem at all in accommodating two good films at the same time.
A film like "Successful People" that Yin Jun has never heard of, naturally cannot be good enough to snatch the share of the previous two films. Judging by the level of a fledgling like Mecca, the box office of 3 million is almost the same.
However, if you really want to see the real chapter, you still have to look at July.
The name of the movie of the Xu Brothers is "Money's Mischief", and the schedule has already been scheduled. Not only many people are looking forward to it, but Yin Jun himself is also looking forward to watching it. I had to laugh out loud, I have to support the Xu family brothers no matter what I say in this life-in fact, Yin Jun has not missed a single movie of the Xu family brothers in the past two years.
In the previous life, "The Mischief of Money" was the third place in the box office of Xiangjiang movies this year, with only more than 4 million box office. However, because Yin Jun's works have continuously aroused the interest of Xiangjiang people in watching movies, it is estimated that their box office will increase a lot. .
On Princess Jin's side, Shi Tian and Huang Boming played against each other in "Laughter Exploding".
This is another movie that Yin Jun has never heard of, but judging from the name, it should be the mode that Huang Boming is good at screenwriting. It should work until everyone is not disgusted by Lao Huang.
After "Laughing", Zhang Aijia's "Crash into the Right" is scheduled between July and August. If "Laughing" does well at the box office, then it will be scheduled for at most two weeks, and then it will have a schedule of two weeks. Come to "The Thief and the Robber" directed by Zeng Zhiwei. If the box office is good, then "The Thief and the Robber" will be postponed.
Golden Harvest's August file is naturally Hong Jinbao's new film. This "Brothers Run into the End of the World" is positioned as a kung fu comedy. Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao are the leading actors. Not a lot.
Shaw's August file is a bit troublesome, not only the August file, but the most important July file, they are all hesitant now.
Du Qifeng originally started in August, but now it seems that he can only rush to July, but Du Qifeng has made several films before, all of which did not do well at the box office, and this time also made Shao Yifu feel unconfident.
But Shao Yifu has no one else. Chu Yuan and other directors have made a movie a few months ago, and they have no plans to make a movie recently. It is better not to make a movie because of hasty preparations.
If Wang Jing can get the script from Yin Jun, then according to his filming speed, he can fully catch up with the August file.
Yin Jun has some doubts. This time Wang Jing was scared so badly. Is there a shadow of Shao Yifu in it? It is Shao Yifu who wants his film to last in August.
Of course, during the period from May to August, Xiangjiang not only released films from the three major companies, it is said that there are a total of more than 20 films, large and small, that are planning to make money in these four months.
Compared with the prosperity of Xiangjiang where three or five movies are released every week, it is definitely nothing now, but compared with the market in previous years, it has improved a lot now.
The film market in any country is bound to be mixed with good and bad.
The United States is so awesome, and there are countless goods on the street every year.
If you want the film market to develop healthily, then you must advocate the shooting of good movies, the release of good movies, and let good movies occupy the mainstream.
Xiangjiang also needs to have such rules and regulations.
For example, the films of the three major film companies, in Yin Jun's opinion, are basically good films. Although they are released, they are fighting each other to grab the box office, but this kind of battle is something everyone likes to see.
With the movie-watching enthusiasm of Xiangjiang people, watching one or two movies a week is casual.
But if you are competing with bad movies, and everyone is not competing for who is better, but who is worse, then Xiangjiang movie fans are not fools. After being fooled once or twice, who would want to watch your bad movies again?
The Xiangjiang movie in the previous life collapsed directly like this.
Therefore, this is why Yin Jun must support Jiahe so that Jiahe can stand up.
Only good film companies and good films can give fans hope.
Once they have no hope for Xiangjiang movies, how can they still sit in the movie hall and watch movies?
