The entertainment industry is actually a vanity fair. Fame and fortune are causal relationships. After all, if there is no profit, who would choose to be famous?

Where there is profit, there is capital. Where there is capital, if the system and rules are not clear enough, then gangsters will come - because there are blurred boundaries!

In fact, in ancient times, the entertainment industry was a part of the world of martial arts, and it was inseparable from the underworld.

For example, in a brothel controlled by the underworld, in addition to engaging in the kind of business that everyone knows, there will also be performing arts performances - although the level is different.

Behind the scenes of entertainment that truly make it to the stage are officials.

Not only in China, but also in Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe was praised by John Rosselli...

At that time, Hong Kong movies were the leader in the entire Asia. If you just find a few stars to make a movie in a few days, even if it doesn't sell well in the local area, you can still get tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars by selling the movie in Southeast Asia...

Therefore, the underworld has the motivation to recruit celebrities, and snatching people and time slots is a routine operation. First-line Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities cannot survive without some gang-related background.

After 1993, times have changed...

First of all, although some Hong Kong films are still popular in Southeast Asia, they have lost out to Hollywood.

The Hollywood of that era was not just a Hollywood of money, but a Hollywood of technology, creativity, ideals, acting skills, and miracles!

Especially "Jurassic Park", it really kills the whole world!

Hong Kong movies, which rely on a few talented actors, are actually immature in the face of Hollywood's super production factories...

At that time, there were only two ways to stop Hollywood: 1. Not giving it the opportunity to be broadcast in the local market to protect its own base; 2. Hollywood looked down on the Eastern market and stayed away, choosing not to globalize;

Then, the Soviet Union collapsed...

Globalization, go to the former Soviet Union, go to the East, go to Africa, and go to all the places where gold can be made to make gold, was the consensus of the United States at that time...

Since 1993, Hollywood has been pursuing a globalization policy that leaves no dead ends in the market, eating up the basic overseas market of Hong Kong films!

Hollywood's globalization strategy is basically globalization without leaving any market gaps.

By the way, the largest market for Hong Kong films at that time was Baodao Province. Baodao film companies began to divest in 1993. Previously, Hong Kong films enjoyed local treatment in Baodao, with unrestricted distribution and low tax rates. The main reason for divestment was Hong Kong.

The asking prices for films are too high, and it is no longer profitable to invest in Hong Kong films.

However, Hong Kong films completely lost the Baodao market in 1996, because this year Baodao completely relaxed its restrictions on Western films.

Of course, the blockbuster that made Hong Kong filmmakers completely surrender to Hollywood was Cameron's masterpiece "Titanic" released in 1997. It grossed 128 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong that year, which was even better than the "local box office king of Hong Kong films" Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu"

"61.27 million Hong Kong dollars, nearly double that, while "A Good Man", which ranked first among Hong Kong films in 1997, only had a box office of 45.5 million...

Since then, Hong Kong filmmakers have realized that they cannot defeat the Hollywood blockbusters that have taken the world by storm!

What should I do if I can’t beat him?

What else can I do if I join?

During its period of strength, Hollywood had a siphon effect on film talents from almost all over the world!

Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and Li Lianlian, etc. all tried to prove themselves in Hollywood, and then became an important force for Hollywood to enter the East...

In addition, the disc market is monopolized by various pirates, and even Class III films cannot be made...

You really can’t afford to make a movie. You spend 1.5 million to make a movie, and people just pirate it in high definition. What can you do?

…

In the domestic market, "International Market" has always occupied the top two box office charts - "Maze Runner 2" took the top spot at the single-day box office after its release.

On November 13, "International Market" was released for 20 days, with a cumulative box office of 570 million...

Then "007: Specter" and "A Long Day with Anthony" were released...

The latter is produced by Zhou Xun + starring Yang Xiaomi, and directed by Qin Xiaozhen.

The first weekend box office was 63 million...

Didn't meet expectations!

When I first looked at the title of this movie, I thought it was about the touching story of Carmelo Anthony, the No. 1 draft pick of the NBA's golden generation in 2003, who wasted his years, left the championship, became a companion in the world of mortals, and galloped forward to share the prosperity of the world with LeBron.

Carmelo Anthony is so miserable, even Basketball Brothers didn’t take him with him!

In fact, he is not bad. He is best known for his comprehensive skills and the so-called offensive kaleidoscope. Unfortunately, after being traded to the Knicks, Melo became a fat melon and a shooting machine. His breakthrough skills were basically hidden...

Well, Anthony in "A Long Day with Anthony" is not a basketball player. This movie is one of the boring ones!

There is no rhythm at all, a smelly and long qq space log!

If it weren't for Yang Xiaomi's appeal and hard-working publicity, the box office would probably be even worse...

Indeed, in the original time and space, the total box office of "A Long Time with Anthony" was only 62 million...

It’s very good, it has fulfilled the "International Market" of over 600 million...

As for "007: Specter", as a world-renowned action film project, its performance in the mainland is tepid, with 280 million in the first weekend...

In fact, the Hollywood blockbusters that mainland audiences like are still special effects blockbusters. It is within the expected range that they will not be interested in 007 without many big scenes!

And...the IP address of 007 is really amazing!

I wanted to see him show off, but he turned out to be more down-to-earth than Leng Feng...

If I want to see special effects, he will show me the plot. If I want to see fighting, he will forgive me. If I want to see robots, he will show me two hours of real people...

Crazy?

The only thing that stands out is probably the black widow dress worn by Monica Bellucci in the movie. In two words, sexy.

The male protagonist was forced into the corner step by step and then forced him to kiss and bang...

But that’s all it takes to look at it. No wonder the Douban score is 6.2—later it rose to 6.5…

Then on November 20th, "20 Again" was released. It is another movie that focuses on meat. This time she is paired with Brother Hu + Bai Jingting, the director is Yao Tingting, and the producer is Su Lun...

The box office on the first day was 90 million, the next day was 120 million, and on the third day of release, the box office was 110 million...

That's right, the box office exceeded 300 million in the first three days of the weekend!

That's right, the cost of this movie was 55 million, of which 60 million was for advertising - a typical project that has already made a profit before it was released.

Now, over 300 million in the first weekend...

"20 Again" does not have the IP support of the original work, it relies purely on Rouba's appeal.

And in the same period, there are "The Hunger Games 3" and "Despatch: Restart"...

Beat them both up.

After the box office results were released, the Internet and the industry were talking about Rouba...

She is also the main focus of this drama, and she is in the C position in the promotions and posters.

Brother Hu and Bai Jingting are both considered marginal characters...

In 2015, three dramas, "My Girlhood" (cost of 45 million, box office of 946 million), "Bottom Girl" (cost of 38 million, box office of 670 million), plus "20 Again", were smash hits in the first weekend

300 million box office…

Killing like crazy!

My butt... has become more than red to the point of turning purple.

This... is a walking money printing machine!

The crew of "20 Again" is on the road show. Basically every stop they arrive at is surrounded by thousands of people...

"I think this is the case. First of all, the script must be better, and then we can talk about the suitability of the actors. Otherwise, it's all a castle in the air!"

"...It's not that I know how to choose the roles. The main thing is that the company arranges them well. The roles I take are basically chosen by the company for me..."

In the interview, although Rouba repeatedly said modestly that it was just luck,...

Three hits in a row, and they’re all in the same year. By the way, next month there will be "The Ancient City"...

No matter how humble you are, if you listen too much, you will become a little arrogant.
Chapter completed!
