While there was a storm in the outside world, Wang Zhengfei began to prepare for the filming of "Snow Leopard" with peace of mind. "Snow Leopard" will be Wang Zhengfei's main work direction in the next period of time.
"Snow Leopard" is a military novel, which is not only troublesome to shoot, but also troublesome to review. In fact, the script of "Snow Leopard" has been finalized for a long time.
However, it did not take long to pass the review. After being inspected several times, it was confirmed that there were no problems before being allowed to film. Generally speaking, ordinary movies are only sent for review after they are filmed, but it involves the party, government, and military.
Movies and TV series are exceptions.
In fact, after the filming of "Qin Shi Mingyue" was completed, Wang Zhengfei had already begun to prepare for the filming of "Snow Leopard", but it was mainly preparatory work, including the shooting location, etc. This kind of war military film and "Qin Shi Mingyue"
This kind of martial arts movie is very different.
Wang Zhengfei has long been prepared for the difficulties of filming. In his opinion, among all film types, war films are the most difficult to film because there will be many unpredictable factors.
It is normal for some people to be injured when filming war scenes, but even so, although the war is a happy occasion, there should not be any casualties. Regarding the shooting of fireworks scenes, the film law has very strict and detailed regulations. Of course, because some people
Factors are added, and sometimes accidents are inevitable.
There are no safety measures in the filming of Chinese film and television dramas, and there are many hidden dangers. When filming such dangerous scenes, there are never any safety measures. The actors risk their lives. Sometimes the pyrotechnicians lose their temper because they are too tired, or
Horses, etc. may behave abnormally due to fatigue, or even if the actors themselves are not careful, a slight mistake in any small link may cause an accident.
In foreign countries, several machines are used to shoot one shot, and explosion scenes are basically shot first, then the actors, and then the two shots are stacked together using stunts. This is very safe. But stunts require money, and there is no
With sufficient funds, we can only rush to schedule, shoot on location, and shoot a dangerous scene several times, which increases the incidence of accidents.
This requires a very good demolition team. There is really a gap in this aspect in China. From the end of "Qin Shi Mingyue", Wang Zhengfei began to contact the top demolition teams in the United States.
In terms of money, Wang Zhengfei is not very stingy. Although "Snow Leopard" this time is not as big as "Qin Shi Mingyue", in fact, Star Entertainment invested 80 million for this this time, which is only less than "Qin Shi Mingyue".
It's only 20 million less. This may seem like a lot less, but the actual investment is no worse than that of "Qin Shi Mingyue". In fact, it will be even more.
"Qin Shi Mingyue" is full of big names. The remuneration of these big names alone is enough to give Wang Zhengfei a headache. It basically accounts for a considerable part of the overall investment. However, there are no big names in "Snow Leopard" this time. If we must say that there are
If so, it would be Wang Zhengfei, but when Wang Zhengfei thinks about it, he usually does not include himself. His net worth is definitely quite high now, but basically he rarely realizes this high amount.
When asked about his net worth, because he is now taking on movies from Star Entertainment, one after another. Since they are all his own, the price will naturally be calculated according to the preferential calculation. Even the director and the starring actor will be charged 10 million.
Sent away.
This time Wang Zhengfei has made up his mind that he will not invite famous stars and will rely entirely on plot to conquer the world. In fact, this has not been successful before. For example, in the "Crazy" series, there are actually no famous stars at all.
But it still achieved pretty good box office results. Stars are not everything in a movie. They can promote great progress at the box office, but that doesn't mean it's necessary.
Just by not hiring celebrities, you can save a lot of money, so you can spend more money on the pictures. And although military movies are also very expensive and have a lot of special effects, most of them
The scenes were all shot in reality, and the special effects were just some repairs. Unlike the movie "Qin Shi Mingyue", which relied entirely on special effects, half of the plot was based on this green set in the studio.
It was completed and then produced using computer special effects. The level of difficulty is unparalleled.
Therefore, Wang Zhengfei is very confident that the picture of this film is more exquisite than that of "Qin Shi Mingyue". Of course, this exquisiteness is a completely different concept. Much of the exquisiteness of "Qin Shi Mingyue" is reflected in the scenery behind it.
The beauty of the scenery in "Qin Shi Mingyue" has aroused many people's amazement. While noticing those gorgeous pictures, they also have to sigh that the motherland still has many beautiful mountains and rivers.
Wang Zhengfei is not stingy at all when it comes to investing money. These are all hardware requirements. Although Wang Zhengfei does not believe that hardware can conquer the world, Wang Zhengfei does not want to lose to others in terms of these conditions.
While Wang Zhengfei was preparing "Snow Leopard", the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" also continued to rise. It was the second week, and everyone was looking forward to whether the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" could continue to create miracles. Although it was the second week
Zhou, "Qin Shi Mingyue" has already swept the box office of nearly 200 million in the first week. It is normal for the second week to show a relatively weak trend, but similarly, in the second week, "Qin Shi Mingyue" has begun to open in Southeast Asia.
As well as Japan and South Korea landing, how much box office it can create in these places is what everyone is waiting to see.
In the second week, with the news that "Qin Shi Mingyue" was about to land in Southeast Asia, the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" surged. On the eighth day, the box office of "Qin Shi Mingyue" finally exceeded 200 million, reaching 200 million.
Ten million yuan.
It also had a good start in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. Wang Zhengfei got the news from Gao Yan that the box office in Southeast Asia grossed 30 million yuan on the first day. In South Korea, "Qin Shi Mingyue" also immediately topped the same period.
All Korean local movies have reached 25 million.
And Star Entertainment has its eyes fixed on the Japanese market. In Asia, the largest film market is naturally the Japanese market. China has become an important market in the Asian film market due to its large number of people. So
Japan is simply rich, and its status as the world's second largest economy is not for nothing.
Even our colleagues in the United States rank Japan’s box office as the third largest source of box office after North American box office and European box office. Basically, to exaggerate, it is Hollywood’s super cash machine, basically for Americans.
Blood transfusion, coupled with the background that the United States is Japan's suzerainty, Hollywood movies have a natural advantage in Japan. Chinese movies are not very dominant in this aspect. The only thing that can be said is that the culture is still relatively good.
Close.
Even if it cannot reach the box office level of those Hollywood blockbusters in Japan, as long as the fingertips are exposed a little, it will be enough to feed the newly born Star Entertainment.
Basically, Gao Yan and Wang Zhengfei regard Japan as a cash machine, and they can withdraw as much as they can.
According to Gao Yan, that is, haven't those small Japanese committed many crimes in China? There is no need to be polite when you attack them, just think of it as getting some interest for the ancestors.
The news from Japan also made Wang Zhengfei and Gao Yan suddenly excited. On the first day, "Qin Shi Mingyue" was released in major theaters in Japan and grossed 90 million at the box office. In just one day,
The box office is nearly 100 million. Although it seems to be a lot, it is not surprising when you think about it. Firstly, the living standard in Japan is relatively high, and the movie ticket price is much higher than that in China. Secondly, Wang Zhengfei is not a soldier in Japan.
It is not popular. A considerable part of Wang Zhengfei's last album was sold in Japan. Wang Zhengfei's current popularity in Japan is not inferior to that of Japan's first-line stars.
Japan is originally a hodgepodge. Basically, people from all over the country can mix and mingle in Japan. Not to mention those from the United States. Those from the sovereign country can naturally mix and mingle. There are also people from Europe and our close neighbor South Korea.
In recent years, the Korean Wave in South Korea has not only affected China and Southeast Asia. Japan has also been affected by this trend, as well as Taiwan. Taiwan’s idol dramas are also quite marketable in Japan, especially those adapted from Taiwan’s
The idol dramas of famous Japanese comics are even more familiar to Japanese fans, not to mention the ones in Hong Kong. When the Hong Kong film industry was at its most glorious, Japan was also a very important market, similar to Chen Long and others
Artists have the highest level of popularity in Japan. I don’t know how many Japanese people grew up watching Hong Kong movies or have entered middle age. Even those from the mainland have been doing well in Japan in recent years.
Especially costumed martial arts dramas and the like, all have good ratings.
Unlike in South Korea, where it is difficult for non-Korean artists to get ahead, in Japan, artists from all over the world can basically find their own space here, and Wang Zhengfei also has a large number of fans here, with a sales volume of one million.
Even in Japan, it is at the level of a first-tier artist, especially a foreign singer. It is definitely a miracle that he can sell one million copies despite a language barrier.
And the number of fans Wang Zhengfei has will definitely be more than one million, not less.
Coupled with the strong support of Wang Zhengfei's fans, it is not too surprising that the Japanese box office reached 90 million in one day. If you look at the Hollywood blockbusters of the same period, it is actually at an above-average level.
