Chapter 384 'Painted Skin 2' VS 'The Legend of White Snake'

After Guangsheng faced friction over the promotion of "The Legend of White Snake", he became much more honest and did not dare to lash out. However, he was very dissatisfied with Bernard, who was in charge of the promotion of the film, and complained in private.

After some efforts by Guangxian, the effect is very obvious. As of the eve of the release of "The Legend of White Snake", "Painting on the Wall" had grossed 78 million at the box office in five days. Guangxian is very satisfied with this result.

Just look at how "White Snake" was beaten by "Painted Skin 2" on the first day - no one in the industry thought "White Snake" would survive a week under "Painted Skin 2".

When the time comes, Guangxian will once again beat the drowned dog and share the National Day slot with "Painted Skin 2". This script is perfect!

Here, "Painted Skin 2" is still shouting about special effects and the world view of Liaozhai.

Over there, the promotion of "The Legend of White Snake" is still the same as before, talking about how much money they spent, how luxurious the team they hired, and how they should deal with the media's smear campaign.

There is a very important card in the promotion of "Painted Skin 2": this may be the last time that Zhou Gongzi, Chen Kun and Zeng Li collaborate.

At the premiere that day, Cheng Yu'an once again confirmed the news: "Movies based on the world view of "Liao Zhai" will continue to be made, but there will be no "Painted Skin 3". It's not that there is no script, but because of cost

I think the crew can no longer afford to hire the three of them. But if there is a chance in the future, the three of them will make guest appearances in subsequent Liao Zhai movies."

There is nothing we can do about this.

At the scene, Liu Song, the visual effects director of "Painted Skin 2", talked about the post-production special effects of "White Snake":

"Our Tiangong Yicai charges are not expensive in the industry, and the level is pretty good in Asia. However, some of our crews come to us with prices that are far lower than the market standard, and they have so many demands. I say we can't do it.

, he turned around and went to the Hollywood team with the sky-high production fee, and then said that our level was not good enough. I don’t even understand why he did this.”

That's right, it's "The Legend of White Snake".

As a major special effects town in China, Tiangong Yicai has reasonable fees and good quality. Many domestic movies now rely on Tiangong Yicai for their special effects, and "The Legend of White Snake" is no exception.

Liu Song continued: "He said the total cost was 200 million, and an additional 50 million for special effects production was added later. I didn't see where he spent the money."

When doing special effects, money is of course very important, but more importantly, you have to give enough time to grind it out. The three to five months given by the crew of "The Legend of White Snake" are enough to do anything.

If you don’t have enough time, you can only get 50 cents, and you won’t do it.

"I have reason to suspect that during the film's preparation period, they did not involve the special effects team in depth. Otherwise, I really don't believe that the shapes of the two snakes were made by the so-called "Avatar" special effects team."

Regarding such professional questioning, Yangzi, who claims to be "familiar with every aspect of film industry production", did not respond.

Just waiting for the results of the two movies to compete on the same stage to be announced.

“It will definitely make everyone’s ticket worth it!”

But sometimes the market is so honest that it’s almost cruel!

"Painted Skin 2" took over 75% of the film schedule on the first day. All the screenings at Jiahe's Beijing flagship store were given to "Painted Skin 2". Even so, it still could not absorb the audience who came to watch the movie on the first day.

Cheng Yuan is not worried at all about the results of "Painted Skin 2".

After the premiere, I went home and slept.

The next day, before the results of the first day came out, Yang Zi, the producer of "The Legend of White Snake", denounced: "Some theaters bullied me as a newcomer and refused to schedule movies for us. The audience obviously wanted to watch "White Snake", but they were told that no movies were scheduled, or that the movies were not scheduled for us.

Not enough, it has to wait until midnight. This is a malicious suppression of "White Snake"."

Jiahe's cinema manager hadn't spoken yet, but Xingmei's Tan Hong stood up and spoke out: "From the cinema's point of view, the difference between a movie is whether it is a hit or not. As far as our cinema is concerned, last night, the two movies were released almost at the same time.

The turnout was about 8:1. I think even the stupidest theater manager knows how to schedule movies."

Boss Yang is really miserable. As a newcomer in the film industry and his first film as a director, even if he has big names like Cheng Xiaodong and Li Lianjie to protect him, he still has to be stepped on by people in the industry.

Who told him to be so arrogant? He yells and drinks all day long. He has a net worth of tens of billions. If you don't mess with him, who will?

In fact, as a newcomer, Boss Yang shouldn't be so anxious to launch a big production like "White Snake".

If he were to make a comedy-romance film with a small or medium budget, people in the industry wouldn't pay attention to him.

Don't even look at how Cheng Yu'an and Ning Hao got up.

They were all put together with a low-budget film worth three to five million yuan, and it turned out to be a special effects blockbuster, and it also used a big shot like Li Lianjie.

Isn't this a target for others?

The domestic share is not enough to eat. If you come up and shout "Avatar" special effects, with a box office of 300 million, who will you do if you don't do it?

"Actually, sometimes the more a person lacks something, the more he flaunts it." Cheng Yu'an watched the later stages of "Thieves Alliance" for a day and came back to take a shower.

"What should I say?" Liu Yifei was looking for clothes for him.

"Look at what he usually shouts, how much money he has, how many years has he been shouting about that broken stretch Hummer, and his golden business card." Cheng Yu'an was washing his hair inside.

"Actually, how much money does he have? He is talking about the director of Juli Group, but in fact the head of Juli Group is his brother. He has no say in the company at all. He can only get some dividends every year. Otherwise, he will do a good job as a director of a listed company.

Yes, why do you want to start a business in film and television entertainment?"

"That shabby car is just to deceive the audience. It's a million-dollar luxury car, a stretched Hummer. In fact, none of the famous second generation and bosses in the industry have many cars. Let's not talk about it (Cheng Yu'an is not interested in cars,

But Liu Yifei likes it, and there are many parked in the garage). Ranqiu ordered an Aventador a while ago, and it will arrive early next year; after Zhixi gave birth to Chuanchuan, Uncle Qin gave her a Rolls-Royce

, which car is not better than his Hummer?"

"Then why is he so high-profile?"

"The less money you have, the harder it is to let others see it. Otherwise, how can you survive in this industry." Cheng Yu'an came out wearing a pair of big pants, "When will "BJ Meets Seattle" start filming? I see you have a lot of free time every day."

"The earliest is the end of next month, and the later is early November." Liu Yifei threw the clothes to Cheng Yu'an, "Who said I was free? I will start running activities tomorrow." During the National Day, celebrities from all walks of life are also busy.

No matter how Buddhist-like the young lady is, the company still schedules her National Day schedule to a full schedule.

"Let me tell you something." Liu Yifei said.

"Yeah." Cheng Yu'an said while wiping his hair, "You tell me."

"China Gold wants to sign me as an endorser."

"It's a good thing. A big national brand." This endorsement will become a very important label for Liu Yifei in the future. She was even taken to ring the bell when China Gold went public.
