Chapter 630: Fixed Angle
"Wolf Warrior" premiered on Thursday. Although the market was not optimistic, its performance was extremely impressive, with a score of 37 million.
This achievement is no less than that of traditional blockbusters.
The theater chain reacted immediately and adjusted the film schedule the next day, regardless of the protests of the crew of "Crazy Words", and gave "Wolf Warrior" nearly 34% of the film schedule.
And "Wolf Warrior" also lived up to theater expectations, taking in 38 million that day.
It seems that there is no growth, but considering the release of competing products, "Wolf Warrior" can still maintain stable results with a niche theme and no big star cast, and its performance is already good.
After all, "Crazy Words" has the support of Liu Qingyun and Huang Xiaoming, which will definitely affect the results of "Wolf Warrior".
However, the performance of the former on the first day fell below the audience's expectations, with only 8.3 million.
"The idea was great, but it wasn't written, or it was too obvious. I guessed the ending less than halfway through. The completion was very low, and it didn't even have the rhythm of a genre film."
"The leader comes out like a lunatic, and his acting skills are completely abused by the people buying groceries."
"Huang Xiaoming is the source of all the disharmony in the film."
Xiao Ming has committed a big sin. In the past two years, apart from being praised for his acting skills in "Partners in China", he has been criticized for one of his roles.
In contrast, theaters are generally optimistic about the weekend performance of "Wolf Warrior".
"Wolf Warrior" suddenly gained momentum over the weekend, taking in an average of 34.7% of the market's box office over the two days, and achieved a good result of 130 million.
As a result, its first weekend sales reached 208 million, giving the deserted Qingming Festival a shot of powerful chicken blood.
As Cheng Yu'an expected, the popularity of "Wolf Warrior" triggered widespread discussions about tough guys and tough guy movies.
Now is the golden age of Xiaoxianrou, when Lu Han, Li Yifeng and others are becoming popular.
Whether it's for marketing or true feelings, Wu Jing has indeed complained in front of the media about the lack of tough guys and the lack of "real men" on Chinese movie screens.
A person who practices martial arts and has been trained in the army, his speech is not mellow. Wu Jing will not say things like "Idol movies are also part of the market" and "Little fresh meat also has its own market." He almost doesn't care about little fresh meat.
The name was scolded.
This also made some people unhappy.
But the moviegoers of "Wolf Warrior" are not this group of fans who are chasing after little fresh meat.
Netizens and those who actually bought tickets are two groups.
On Monday after the weekend, "Wolf Warrior" still took in over 50 million at the box office, really gaining momentum.
In terms of publicity, Wu Jing began to exaggerate the difficulty of filming "Wolf Warrior" remotely.
No one is willing to invest in the project.
After receiving special forces training in the army for one and a half years, he was recognized and praised by the army when he left. The military region even issued the slogan "Salute to Comrade Wu Jing for learning".
Due to the difficult conditions during the filming, the extras were reluctant to come, so in the end my father-in-law personally came on stage to perform for him.
Wu Jing and Xie Nan also frequently showed affection and talked about family fun during interviews.
For example, Wu Jing said "I don't have a girlfriend" when she first met Xie Nan.
I met my father-in-law and had a drink until the two of them hugged each other and called each other brothers.
The public interest in remote viewing has almost reached its peak. In mid-April, it was announced that Wu Jing would play the role of Liu Peiqiang in "The Wandering Earth".
And issued a personal poster of Wu Jing wearing a space suit.
Cheng Yu'an has a very tight schedule. As the chairman of the jury at Cannes this year, the film festival will open on May 13, but the judges for the main competition must arrive in Cannes at the end of April to start film selection.
Therefore, he must try his best to finalize the role of "The Wandering Earth" before then.
After the interview with Zhang Zifeng, Jiang Yiyi and Zhao Jinmai, Cheng Yuan had a disagreement with the casting team. Cheng Yuan wanted to cast Zhao Jinmai, but the casting team obviously preferred Zhang Zifeng.
Cheng Yu'an didn't want to argue with the casting team anymore: "I have already asked Dong Zijian to play the leading role in "The Legend of the White Fox", and Sister Hua has also made an explanation." Zhang Zifeng signed the name in Sister Hua's name.
"I'll choose Zhao Jinmai. The three of them have good images and acting skills. I'll choose Zhang Zifeng. What does Director Han say? I'll choose Jiang Yiyi. Sister Hua has something to say. I might as well choose a little girl who runs a gang."
"Okay, let's make an appointment with Zhao Jinmai. When signing the actor's contract, he also signed the agency contract."
"Wang Lei is given to Li Guangjie. I'm not nervous about his future film appointments. I don't want to wait on other uncles on the set."
"Han Duoduo's Chinese teacher should be given to the space agency, and Gao Yuanyuan should be given a friendly role."
"The army pushed Zhang Zilin."
"Zhang Zilin is too tall. Have you ever seen a Chinese teacher with a height of 182? It won't be easy to take the camera."
Cheng Yu'an looked through the actor's resume again: "Han Ziang should be given to Uncle Da."
Cheng Yu'an doesn't get along with the film circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the boss has repeatedly emphasized that the overall situation must be taken into account. Gao Yuanyuan is a favor to Wandao, and Hong Kong Island deserves it by letting Uncle Da play the role of Han Ziang.
"Okay, I'll contact Uncle Da later."
The most troublesome thing is Liu Qi.
"Tudou Image pushed Li Xian."
The online drama actors are not in Remote Culture, they are all signed in Tudou Image.
"Ask him to come this afternoon and I'll meet him." Cheng Yu'an didn't know how to use Qu Chuxiao, and he would definitely give priority to his own people.
The trouble with a big family and a big business is that you have to take care of as many interested parties as possible.
People who don't use Dodou's image, Dodou will also have ideas, saying that they are stepmothers, and the boss doesn't care about them at all.
Cheng Yu'an spent the whole afternoon auditioning actors. When Li Xian walked out of the audition room, he was so happy that he jumped up.
In the evening, the news that "the cast of "The Wandering Earth" has basically been confirmed" spread in the circle, and a cast list was compiled in a serious manner. Needless to say, the unknown people on the list felt lonely.
When Cheng Yu'an returned home, Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Now you are relaxed."
"Yes, because of the role, I am almost bored to death. I can't eat well every day, and I can't sleep well.
"Now that the actor has been confirmed, I can accompany you well."
"Who wants you to accompany me?" Because of casting matters, Cheng Yu'an hardly stayed home every day except for sleeping. For this reason, Liu Yifei even scolded him: "What do you think of my place? I don't even see anyone except sleeping every day."
"
"You really don't want to go to Cannes?"
"How can I get there with such a burden?" Liu Yifei had difficulty moving because of her pregnancy. She had gained weight. Although in Cheng Yuan's eyes, her wife was still as beautiful as a fairy, Liu Yifei didn't want to
Face the media in Cannes like this.
Moreover, the wedding is next month, and she must stay in China to handle the final hurdles.
"Is the bridesmaid confirmed?"
With Li Xian confirmed to play Liu Qi, Cheng Yuan's four best men were also confirmed: Hu Ge, Yang Yang, Li Xian and Wang Kai.
The young lady's bridesmaids team is very much in trouble. If the young lady does not work, someone must take over the resources in her hand. Especially the big cake of "Pacific Ocean 2", many people want to eat it.
Liu Yifei also has a headache about this problem.
"It's almost confirmed."
"Almost? There's a wedding next month, so it's almost the same here?"
"Whatever I can do, I'll do it one by one."
"Who are you going to recommend for "Pacific Rim 2"?"
"It's not my turn to recommend anyone. Thomas Tull directly decided on Tiantian."
"Why did Lu Zheng do such a thing again?" Cheng Yu'an was speechless to Lu Zheng.
But he and Liu Yifei were really difficult to manage. A major film company licensed "Pacific Rim 2" to Legendary Pictures, and Cheng Lingfeng and Cheng Yu'an didn't care about it.
Thomas Tull also asked Liu Yifei to recommend actors, but he might not actually listen to her.
Tiantian now spends all day on the set of "The Great Wall" and has a lot of opportunities to interact with the staff of Legendary Pictures. It is too easy to get through this relationship.
Lu Zheng made a quick move and spent US$53 million on Thomas Tull to win the leading role for Tiantian.
The quick start also makes it much easier for Liu Yifei to do things, and she doesn't have to worry about who to recommend.
"For the bridesmaids, I have ordered Xiao Shu, Tian Tian, Reba and Shi Shi."
Cheng Yuan had no problem with the bridesmaids: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's just this once in a lifetime, so hard work is deserved."
"Oh, by the way, are you going to Xiao Ming's wedding?" Huang Xiaoming's wedding is scheduled for October.
"I can't go. I've delayed my actions for a whole year and I have to make up for it at the end of this year." Although she wants to spend more time with her child after giving birth, Liu Yifei has too much work backlogged on her and she really can't put it off any longer. "You can go.
, our family must send a representative there."
In fact, Cheng Yuan also has a job in October, but as his wife said, the family must send a representative.
Chapter completed!
