Chapter 800 Summer Vacation
The Great Player of Light and Shadow Chapter 800 Summer Release
Liu Yifei and Cheng Yu'an's assistant packed his luggage the next morning. He did not go back to the capital with Liu Yifei. For the "Mulan" crew, the Western Cinema specially designated a piece of land in the park to build Mulan's hometown for the crew.
architecture.
One hundred and seventy acres of land are available for the production crew to build.
It is impossible that reporters would not notice such a big move at Western Cinema, but Western Cinema also has a confidentiality agreement with the crew. They only say that what is being built is a new film and television shooting base that has been planned for the scenic spot for a long time.
To digress, every movie after Kaige's "The Promise" failed at the box office, so why can it still attract investment?
That's because his reputation as an international director is still high, and using his name can quickly and easily acquire land to build a new film and television base.
[To tell you the truth, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with more sounds.
The movie will be gone after it is released, but the film and television base is actually there to make money for him and his investors.
Compared with the tourist attraction's consistent revenue for more than ten years, the box office losses are nothing to worry about.
The palace scenes in "Mulan" were filmed in Xiangyang Tangcheng. This Tangcheng was built by Chen Kaige for 1.6 billion for "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
Cheng Yuan took advantage of the opening song director.
This time, Western Cinema also borrowed Cheng Yu'an's name to use an extra piece of land to build a film and television base for "Mulan".
This new film and television base is jointly developed by Yuanyuan and Western Cinemas.
Now that the project is about to be accepted, Cheng Yuan wants to take a last look.
In fact, the crew of "Mulan" did not need a set as large as 170 acres. According to the art team and Cheng Yu'an's vision, 40 to 50 acres would be enough for filming. However, Western Cinema refused to agree, so it was not easy to get a piece of land.
, who wants to play with you if you have 40 or 50 acres? Just build a big scenic spot on 170 acres.
It doesn’t cost much anyway.
The scenery of "Mulan" was relatively low-cost. To put it bluntly, it was a small village surrounded by earthen walls. The largest and most luxurious house was the Hua family's Wubao. It cost 200 million to spend.
Western Cinema didn't plan to let Yuanyuan intervene in the new film and television base at first. Western Cinema couldn't compare to Hengdian, but it could still afford 200 million.
Western Cinema is not willing to allow Yuanyuan to take a bite of the scenic spot's income for the next ten years for no reason.
But there was no way, it was under someone else's banner, and everyone had to drink the soup, but Western Cinema still got the lion's share of the share.
Cheng Yu'an didn't have the nerve to personally participate in the investment. If he personally participated in the investment of 200 million, the profits of all parties would not be guaranteed, and the investors would not be willing.
"When will you come back?" Liu Yifei asked Cheng Yu'an as she walked him into the car.
"It will take three to five days." Cheng Yu'an said, "You should train hard in the capital. I think Disney will make an official announcement."
The news of the remake of "Mulan" has been fermenting around the world for more than a month, and Cheng Yu'an refused to allow global casting to attract fans. Disney has long been unable to hold it in anymore.
Liu Yifei leaned into her husband's ear and whispered: "I put a bottle of new medicine in your bag. Take one pill before going to bed at night. It is good for your health."
Cheng Yu'an slapped her on the butt when no one was paying attention: "You look down on me."
"I'm 35, I need to know how to take care of myself. Oh, it regulates endocrine, soothes the nerves and helps sleep. Just eat it. I want to check the effect of the medicine when I get back."
Cheng Yu'an rolled his eyes, ignored her, got in the car and left.
…………
The end of the Shanghai International Film Festival also means that the summer season has officially begun.
But actually, the summer vacation started a few days ago.
It opens with "Transformers," which Michael Bay says he will never make again but keeps making every year.
The fifth film was released this year, named "The Last Knight", and he also said that this was the last "Transformers" series he directed.
Anyway, fans don’t take Michael Bay’s words to heart.
In North America, it was released in the mainland first. It opened a large-scale screening on Tuesday, the 20th, North American time, and it grossed US$5.5 million. It was officially released on Wednesday the next day, mobilizing 4,069 theaters in North America to open the show, but it only took in a box office of US$15 million, setting a new record for "Transfiguration".
The lowest opening performance of the "King Kong" series of movies in the United States.
However, this movie is still a big hit in China. It was released on Friday the 23rd and grossed 280 million. Adding in the 38 million from the midnight screening, the overall box office on the first day was as high as 330 million.
The three-day box office of the first weekend reached a terrifying 870 million.
1 billion is certain, 2 billion is possible.
It also became the sixth film after the Spring Festival to have a box office of over 1 billion.
By the way, the other five films are all imported films!
They are: "Resident Evil 6: The Final Chapter" (1.11 billion), "Kong: Skull Island" (1.15 billion), "Fast and Furious 8" (2.68 billion), "Dangal, Dad!" (1.29 billion)
and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" (1.178 billion).
The final performance of domestic films after the Spring Festival was actually the remote low-cost comedy suspense film "Famous", which grossed 533 million when it was released.
The General Administration feels embarrassed!
Policies and policies have been given, the subject matter has been relatively loosened, and financing channels have been relatively relaxed. Why can't we defeat it?
The first domestic film to compete in the summer season is Yang Mi's "Rescue".
Yang Mi is ready to curse!
Such a thing has been in trouble for eight lifetimes.
She was ridiculed by the crowd for becoming an international movie queen, and now she has to face "Transformers 5" single-handedly.
Not to mention, the market's expectations for "Rescue" are quite good.
Produced by Jackie Chan, it has a science fiction theme, and based on the synopsis, there are enough interesting things about time reincarnation and so on.
Despite the ridicule of the international movie queen, Yang Mi won the Jackie Chan Action Movie Week Best Action Actress Award at the just-concluded Shanghai International Film Festival with this film.
This can be regarded as Jackie Chan's affirmation of her.
What a great way to do marketing.
Yang Mi has two films on film this summer, and the other one is the movie version of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" in August.
Most outsiders believe that Yang Mi’s two films this year will have no problem earning her a box office of 1-1.2 billion.
Yang Mi's market sense is very sensitive. She realized the audience's aversion to traffic, so she contacted Liu Jie as soon as she came back this year and wanted to make a literary film to restore her reputation. Of course, it didn't happen in the end. She got a "Wushuang" from the company and distributed it.
Brother and Aaron Kwok will play the borderline heroine.
But it's one thing to be aware of it, and another thing to truly experience it.
In particular, the popularity of the TV series "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" made her feel that her popularity and appeal were still at the top - which is actually right.
So in the movie market, she still takes chances: the audience is still willing to watch me, and they will still buy tickets.
So she bet that even if "Rescue" wouldn't be a hit, its results would still be good, and she wouldn't have the so-called "drifting effect".
Although my sister has a lot of negative fans, she still doesn’t want to read my name.
At the film's premiere, Yang Mi was also brave enough to fight with leading actor Huo Jianhua and supervisor Jackie Chan, and both won.
He also faced the ridicule of winning the award: "No matter what it is, accept it and be happy."
If you don't have a big heart, you won't be able to get to this point.
The reporter at the scene asked a lot about Jackie Chan's future filming appointments.
Jackie Chan revealed: "I will also help with guest appearances in two movies this year."
"What kind of show is Big Brother?"
Chapter completed!
