"The box office champion of the Chinese-language film of the year is announced, and "Painted Skin 2" makes a shocking appearance, surpassing US$100 million in two weeks!" - The red letter massacre version of the homepage of Time.com.
"Produced and written by Shao Shuaijun, directed by Wu Ershan, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun once again joined forces to create the 3D sequel to "Painted Skin", "Painted Skin 2", with strong momentum to hit the mainland box office record for Chinese-language films!" - "Beijing Entertainment News"
》.
"After four years, the sequel to "Painted Skin" finally came out. The Chinese-language fantasy production grabbed a box office of 100 million US dollars in a week and a half. Summit Entertainment has confirmed that the North American schedule of "Painted Skin 2" has been advanced to November 19, and the global schedule is also planned to be advanced.
in."——"Beijing News".
"The magic of great commercial directors is still there, and the superpowers of screenwriters are unparalleled." - "Yangcheng Evening News".
Although Wu Ershan was clearly the director, the media still attributed the credit to Shao Shuaijun. After all, Wu Ershan had lacked directing experience before, and Shao Shuaijun almost never suffered losses in the works he participated in as screenwriter. From the early "People on the Road", "Crazy"
"Car", "Dulara's Ascension" and then to "The Twilight Saga: Twilight", "The Hunger Games", "The Hangover" and so on in North America, all of which were box-office hits.
Painted Skin 2 performed brilliantly, even surpassing Dafu 2 for a time, and the three-day weekend from the 19th to the 21st was the first head-to-head competition between two major productions from the East and the West. Within the Dream Entertainment Group, Yi Jianmei, the boss of Dream Golden Harvest
, and even had a phone fight with Mitchell, the boss of Summit Entertainment, and the loser got a treat.
Because the time is coming to the end of the year, the group head office specially held a "Huashan Sword Discussion in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres" event, betting on the performance of the two sequels in North America this weekend, allowing all employees of the company to choose, which one is Painted Skin 2 Box Office?
Dafu or Dafu 2 has the highest box office. If you choose the right one, your year-end bonus will be doubled this year. If you choose the wrong one, there will be no loss.
Although Daifuku 2 did not perform well in North America, it is a Hollywood blockbuster after all, and its box office this weekend will basically not be less than 10 million. Although Painted Skin 2 performed well in Asia, it is a Chinese-language film after all. Whether it can adapt to North American tastes is still unclear.
It's hard to say.
This choice is difficult, especially since it involves year-end bonus.
In the end, after a difficult vote, the number of people who supported Painted Skin 2 was slightly more than the number of people who supported Daifuku 2. In terms of momentum, Painted Skin 2 has surpassed Daifuku 2.
The event not only attracted employees of Dream Chase Entertainment Group, but Shao Shuaijun also participated.
"I chose "Painted Skin 2" to beat "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows". I think "Painted Skin 2" can sweep it all with 50 million US dollars!" Shao Shuaijun posted on Weibo in an arrogant tone, and then "@(Understandable
"For Summoning)" Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr., Zhao Wei, Wu Ershan and others.
Twitter and Time Scarf have been interconnected and can @ come and go to each other.
"Da Fook 2 will win!" Guy Ritchie, the director of Da Fook 2, retweeted Shao Shuaijun's scarf and threatened to win.
"Painted Skin 2 will definitely win!" Wu Ershan, the director of Painted Skin 2, also retweeted it, tit for tat with Guy Ritchie.
"Painted Skin 2 will definitely win. If Painted Skin 2 wins, I'll treat everyone to dinner!" Zhao Wei said aggressively.
"Will I get a red envelope if I make the right choice? If so, I will choose Painted Skin 2. If not, I will choose Dafu 2." Robert Downey Jr. seemed to have little confidence in himself.
"Downey, you are so inferior. You have no courage at all. I support Dafu 2!" As Shao Shuaijun and others interacted with each other, stars who had nothing to do with the two movies also got involved. Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. have worked together.
"Iron Man 2" is being laughed at at the moment. Her marriage to Reynolds came to an end this year, but she seems to have recovered quickly, and they can still talk and laugh.
"Brother Iron Man, I support you in the name of Hammer!" Jake Gyllenhaal reposted on Weibo and added a still from "Thor". The still shows Jake Gyllenhaal playing Thor, holding a Thor in his hand.
The hammer is so cool that it falls to pieces.
"Teddy Bear asked me to tell you that he supports Painted Skin 2. By the way, I also support Painted Skin 2." Joseph Gordon-Levitt (the actor of "Teddy Bear") said weakly.
"Support Painted Skin 2." Li Eucalyptus also joined in.
"I support Daifuku 2, but I'm more optimistic that Painted Skin 2 will beat the crap out of Daifuku 2." Christopher Nolan, who is currently preparing for his new film "Interstellar", also took a break from his busy schedule to chime in.
"My little nephew and I support Painted Skin 2 to unify the world!" Li Bingbing joined in boredom, dragging Xiao Shao along with him.
This sword discussion event in Huashan in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres gradually spread from within the Dream Entertainment Group to the world. Countless swordsmen and knights drew their swords to cheer, hyping the showdown between Painted Skin 2 and Dafu 2 into a life-and-death showdown between Chinese and Hollywood movies.
.Celebrities are helping out, and fans will naturally not sit idly by and threaten to go to the cinema to cheer for their idols.
The media also joined in, and with Summit Entertainment and Dream Chaser Jiahe taking advantage of the trend, a war of words broke out vigorously.
"Daifuku 2 opens low and sells low, and Painted Skin 2 opens high and sells high. Although Dafu 2 cannot represent Hollywood, and Painted Skin 2 cannot represent Chinese movies, this direct battle is still a good opportunity to test the strength of both sides." - "New York"
Times".
"Hollywood's geek director Guy Ritchie, and Chinese-language film's new director Wu Ershan, two films that are not on the same level, premiered at the same time, and finally want to compete in the North American market. After all, Painted Skin 2 Invasion wins,
Or will Daifuku 2 succeed in defending its territory? Let’s wait and see.” - “Chicago Sun”.
"The publicity strategy of Summit Entertainment has achieved very good results. According to market surveys, most citizens have further expectations for the two movies. Perhaps this is the reason why Summit Entertainment competes with "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)"
) method, let a war between East and West eliminate the influence of Kazakhstan 7." - "Observer".
""Painted Skin 2" is heading to North America, and Chinese people from all over the country have gathered to support it, and it has already booked theaters in many cinemas!" - "Hollywood Entertainment Report".
If the American media still retains some sense, the domestic media is extremely excited. Chinese films have not been able to go global for many years, and their international influence is getting lower and lower. Now "Painted Skin 2" can be said to represent countless
The Chinese people's wish began to conquer North America.
Just like "Painted Skin" back then, it gathered the expectations of the Chinese people. Together with "Poseidon" and "Mission: Impossible 3", it started a world war and attracted unprecedented attention. It was in that battle that "Painted Skin" defeated the two films in one fell swoop.
The Hollywood big-budget movie has reached the top of the North American and Asian championships. Shao Shuaijun has become famous since then and was selected as the cover character by Time Magazine.
After four years, there is another confrontation between East and West.
This time, in terms of cost, director, and scenes, it is not as good as that of World War.
The production cost of "Painted Skin 2" was only 200 million yuan. The "Painted Skin" of that year was claimed to be 500 million yuan. The production cost of Daifuku 2 was only 120 million yuan. At that time, "Mission: Impossible 3" and "Poseidon" both had a production cost of 1.5 billion yuan.
The production cost started at US$100 million. Back then, Shao Shuaijun had the success of "Source Code", but now Wu Ershan is unknown.
There is also a huge gap, that is, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" was also released before the four-day Thanksgiving holiday. With the huge pressure of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 7, the decisive battle between the two movies seemed
Somewhat ridiculous.
But in terms of attention, this East-West debate far exceeds that of the last world war.
In four years, Dream Chasing Entertainment Group has spanned China and the United States, influencing countless celebrities. If anyone jumps out and shouts a few words, it will attract a huge number of people. The last time it was a melee, this time it is a duel.
, the audience’s support is also clearer! Ha7 is indeed strong, but Painted Skin 2 and Dafu 2 are also strong contenders.
Who will win is yet to be determined!
Affected by this trend, even bookmakers have offered odds. "Painted Skin 2" pays 1.202 to 1, and "Sherlock Holmes 2: The Shadow Game" pays 1.141. Judging from the odds, there is not much difference between the two sides.
Evenly matched.
Public opinion was abuzz.
In the villa, when Shao Shuaijun told Li Xiuxiu, Li Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Now, whether it's Painted Skin 2 or Dafu 2, they can share the popularity of Ha 7. In the end, it's us, Dream Chaser Entertainment, who wins.
Who came up with this idea? It’s amazing.” She is already 8 months pregnant, and Li Xiuxiu has completely given up on the company and is waiting for her due date with peace of mind.
"A low-level employee named Qin Huohuo. This guy works in the publicity department. He has good planning skills and a lot of clever ideas. Last week, Sister Mei went to inspect the work, and this guy recklessly sold ideas to Sister Mei. Now, Qin Huo
The fire has risen three times in a row, and I have become the deputy director of planning of the Publicity Department of Dream Chaser Jiahe."
"Haha, this guy is so brave. Sister Mei is not that easy to talk to. She has strict discipline requirements for employees."
"Thankfully, Sister Mei has a background in publicity and approved his plan, otherwise she would have been expelled." Shao Shuaijun said with emotion that a person's opportunities are always more important than talent. Qin Huohuo is talented and has been in Chasing Dream Jiahe for four or five years.
But he has always been the lowest-level employee. If it hadn't been for this reckless move, and if Yi Jianmei hadn't been sensitive to publicity and planning, this guy might have ended up there.
"By the way, you will go to Baodao tomorrow and come back in a few days?"
Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "Let's go to the United States in three or four days first. The second filming project of "The Night Watcher" requires me to go there in person, which will take a day or two. It will take another day to go to the Golden Horse Awards. Li
If I agree to direct "Life of Pi," I will definitely have to discuss it for a day or two to see how to prepare and adapt the script."
"Go early and come back early." Li Xiuxiu said reluctantly.
"Don't worry, if Li Yu hadn't taken the lead, I wouldn't have attended the Golden Horse Awards at all. I would have gone early and returned early. Anyway, I have a special plane, so I can come and go with ease."
"Well, it's cold outside, remember to wear more clothes..."
On November 18, 2010, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States. The second filming of "The Night Watcher" started, and the publicity had to be carried out simultaneously. Although this was a re-production of an old film, the project was still planned and scheduled according to a new film. With the 3D visual effects detonated by "Avatar", many old films have begun to initiate projects to convert into 3D versions. If possible, Shao Shuaijun also plans to convert "The Nighthawks" into an IMAX-3D version.
With a large number of IMAX-3D movie theaters being built in China, it’s time to pick the fruits.
The plane flew up and the sky was white with clouds.
