However, once the market is driven by a certain or a few blockbusters, the siphon effect will be very obvious.

The first movie will be wildly harvested, but now the number of theater screens nationwide is only 10,000, and there is simply no room for other movies to share the box office.

"Killing" did better than "Everyone" on its first day, but it only made one million, only 740,000.

And on Saturday,

"A League of Thieves" ushered in the first round of movie viewing climax, with an additional 107 million box office.

Brother Hu and Ren Dahua knew how to choose, so they decisively gave up the offline promotion of "Killing" and only shouted online.

This film certainly cannot be said to be ugly, and "Killing" is a rare Agatha Christie-style crime (mystery) film made in China.

With the guarantees of Huang Bo and Hu Ge, there should be no problem in changing the schedule to exceed 100 million.

The problem lies in the schedule,

Guan Hu has long known that "Killing" is at the same time as "Thieves Alliance".

But he felt that the May Day schedule should be able to accommodate two popular films, so he didn't want to change the schedule.

The introduction of "Titanic 3D" was only announced in January.

But at that time, no one cared about a re-release of the film, so the crew of "Killing" still didn't think about rescheduling.

But when "Titanic 3D" swept the market, "Killing" was a little panicked.

But we can remotely tell that "Titanic" has been released for two weeks and has insufficient potential. There is no reason why "Killing" producer Fang Xingmei can't see this.

So there was no gear adjustment at that time.

But when "Rogue" was released and beat out two Hollywood blockbusters, "Titanic" and "Battleship," Star America really panicked.

But it was too late. The promotional materials had been laid out, and several trailers had been released. They all said that it would be released on April 28. "Killing" was so difficult to get off that it had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Huang Bo and Yam Dahua are already movie kings, and they no longer need "Killing" to prove anything. I just pity Brother Hu, Doctor Niu is a very good character, and he did a good job.

But "Killing Life" disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Sunday, "A League of Thieves" reached its highest box office, breaking the mainland's highest single-day box office record of 1.27 set by "Transformers 3" last year.

Reported 135 million!

"Titanic" collected 24.62 million in a single day, and "Battleship" exceeded 10 million.

Only on this day can we truly announce that "Thieves" has secured the May Day slot.

But the victory of "Thieves" did not change the fact that apart from it, all other domestic films in April were killed by Hollywood.

While celebrating the success of "Thieves", the media also issued a warning: "Domestic movies are collapsing!"

""A League of Thieves" is excellent, but the prosperity of the "Rogue" family cannot cover up the fact that domestic films have lost their armor in the face of the menacing Hollywood this year."

As the leader of the industry, Yuan Yuan came out to stop the fermentation of this news. Guo Fei, President of Yuan Yuan Film and Television, said when attending the meeting: "I hope our media will not spread such alarmist remarks. Domestic films have not collapsed. Hollywood is indeed coming fiercely.

It has also had an impact on domestic films, but these are the pains caused by the opening of the market, and we cannot deny our entire domestic films at a temporary price."

"What we have to do is to admit the gap. There is no shame in being worse than others, and then work hard to catch up."

"A League of Thieves" is conquering the country to protect the domestic film market, and Liu Yifei, who is in the United States, received a special visitor after finishing filming today.

Her godfather, Chen Jingfei.

Liu Yifei knew that Cheng Yu'an didn't like or want to deal with her godfather, so she had always deliberately kept the two of them away from each other.

Chen Jingfei knew that Cheng Yuan didn't like him,

He didn't rush to interact with Cheng Yu'an.

Valley bald

But this time he came to the United States specifically to meet Liu Yifei.

Of course Liu Yifei was very happy to see Chen Jingfei.

Liu Xiaoli arranged the meeting place in the hotel cafe.

What else can Chen Jingfei do if he comes to see Liu Yifei? The three of them have finished reminiscing about old times.

He asked Liu Yifei what her future plans were, and Liu Yifei had no reservations:

"My role in "Pacific Rim" will be completed in half a month, and there will be another "Super Body" that will be completed around August."

Chen Jingfei then got down to business: "Sissi, I have a movie here, it's very good, I've already agreed with the director that you will play the heroine."

I am here to introduce the film.

Liu Yifei is very ambitious now. She actually feels that the gap between herself and Cheng Yu'an is getting bigger and bigger. She really wants to film two more movies to prove herself, and she will basically take a second look at any script that comes her way.

"Okay," Liu Yifei agreed first, "I'll read the script first."

Chen Jingfei was speechless for a moment and said awkwardly: "The script hasn't been written yet."

"Is there a demo?" There is no script, so there should be a demo and a summary of the story.

"Yes." It's not like Chen Jingfei has never made a movie before, and he doesn't want to trick Liu Yifei, so he showed Liu Yifei the outline of the movie script he brought with him.

The movie is called "The Last War" and it tells the story of a knight who was exiled to the East during the Crusades and a Chinese princess and prince.

"Why does this story look so familiar to me?" Liu Yifei murmured after reading it, "It seems like "The Last Samurai". It also tells the story of Westerners living in the East and helping Easterners."

When Chen Jingfei heard this, he felt familiar and said happily: "The director of this movie is Nick Powell, the action director of "The Last Samurai". He has already negotiated Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage to star."

Qian, you play the Chinese princess."

The characters sound okay, Hayden Christensen and Nicolas Cage are also well-known, and the movie looks pretty good.

But Liu Yifei was cautious and did not agree on the spot: "But I still want to wait until the script comes out before taking a closer look."

Chen Jingfei has no objection to Liu Yifei's suggestion: "I definitely have to read the script. Don't worry, the script will be finalized this year and filming will start in the middle of next year at the latest."

Then Chen Jingfei started to talk about how powerful the behind-the-scenes cast of this movie was.

The epic blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States is expected to replicate the success of "The Last Samurai".

The partners are the well-known Anle Pictures (Jiang Zhiqiang's company) in China, as well as the Dian Film Company, and on the American side, the independent production company Arclight Pictures.

Investment exceeds US$30 million.

These are all facts, but if Cheng Yuan were at the scene, he would definitely know that this "Last War" is the infamous "Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape"!

Fortunately, under the influence and training of Cheng Yu'an in recent years, Liu Yifei's aesthetics has skyrocketed, and she was not persuaded by Chen Jingfei on the spot.

In addition, the lessons learned from last year's "Cloud Atlas" made Liu Yifei more discerning, and she secretly decided to ask Sarah (the production director of a major film company) about this film later.
