Since 1983

China Film Times International Cinema.

There was a long line in the ticket hall. After buying the ticket, a girl dragged her boyfriend into the bookstore. The waiter has a pair of eyes:

Are you here again?

I'm here again!

"In addition to the "Hero" puzzle, we also have many other peripheral products."

The waiter recommended one by one: "This is a novel of the same name. The first print is only 50,000 copies. Buy it first. This is a comic book written by Hong Kong master Ma Rongcheng.

We also cooperated with the China Stamp Corporation to issue a set of "Hero" character stamps. But it’s not here. You can make a reservation and we will deliver it to your door. "

"Why are there so many products this time?" the girl wondered.

"Because "Hero" is a blockbuster movie, it will naturally be developed."

"Oh, I'm going to have a set of puzzles. I'm not interested in anything else."

So the waiter took a big box puzzle and smiled: "Come on, your goal will soon be achieved!"

"Hmm, goodbye."

The girl took the puzzle and left, and her boyfriend was surprised: "What are you buying it for?"

"Five-year plan. After finishing five movies, you can get a free VIP card forever!"

"So, you have finished two spells?"

"Yes, this is the third one. I will change to the fourth one next year and the fifth one the next year."

"Not bad, come on, I support you."

Boyfriend thumbs up.

...

"According to Hong Kong Sunshine Pictures, although "Hero" was blocked by the two blockbuster films "Infernal Affairs" and "Harry Potter 2", the momentum is still strong.

"Hero" was released in 39 theaters in Hong Kong, and the box office has reached 12 million Hong Kong dollars in five days. "

""Hero" landed in Taiwan. On the first day, the box office in Taipei City reached 7.11 million Taiwan dollars (about 1.8 million yuan), becoming the premier box office champion in the history of Taiwanese Chinese films."

"China's first blockbuster movie "Hero" was released for 10 days, and the latest box office statistics were announced last night.

The mainland's total revenue was 140 million yuan, and all of the country's 37 cinema chains exceeded 1 million box office. In the past, only five or six cinema chains had this record. "

"After selling 17.8 million audio and video rights at a sky-high price, "Hero" is negotiating with international filmmakers to officially enter the overseas market!"

Ten days in theaters? The heat is unabated.

But Zhang Guoshi finally broke away from the heavy publicity work, and was free to accept an interview with a media. In a big room of Time Media, this is his personal studio.

"Have you ever thought that "Hero" might be broken?"

"Like this kind of movie? I think the standard for it is the box office? The messy reviews are nothing. I believe that the box office in China will be good? Can set a new high."

"What do you think of those messy comments?"

"The current reviews of Chinese films are based on themes first, and always talk about ideas, culture, and meaning before taking a work.

I look at the current public opinion, good guys? Historians have all come out? Peking University professors are also talking about the historical view of "Hero".

A little flattered.

Because I didn't develop a new view of history, what kind of person is Qin Shihuang? There are a lot of controversies. I just choose one of them to express? They are too metaphysical.

Do you want to tell me about colors, martial arts, and how to enrich the plot? I think you are a qualified critic. "

""Hero" is the most dazzling in your movie in the production lineup. To the Oscars? What is your attitude?"

"No hope? I know it myself.

One is because of the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? It is impossible to have a second time so close. The second is that it is difficult for this type of film to win awards. I didn't take Oscars as a goal in the first place. "

"Some netizens said that the film always talks about the world, but it is actually advertising for Mr. Xu's company?"

"Hahaha! It's hard to tell? Mr. Xu is acting out of his own way? He may shoot "Hero" for advertising..."

Zhang Guoshi has passed the anxious stage? Peace of mind.

Despite scolding? Scold casually.

When the interview was over, he escorted the reporter to the elevator entrance. As soon as the elevator door opened, Xu Fei came up from downstairs.

"Mr. Xu..."

The reporter was surprised and wanted to grab a piece of the interview. Xu Fei waved his hand and asked him to force the number, and then motioned to Zhang Guoshi.

"Pick up and go to see some film dealers."

"just now?"

"Correct."

Lao Mouzi scraped his head with a comb, put on a hat and sunglasses, and went out with Xu Fei.

Sitting in the car, Teacher Xu explained the situation:

"There are four companies in Korea, Zhongbo, Sanhe, Koreapicture, and finecut. Zhongbo is a capital company that distributes movies in Korea.

Finecut is the one I have worked with, just the "virus". The four companies want to join forces to buy out South Korean copyrights for US$2 million. "

"Then you can sell it?"

"Selling, the Korean market is small, about 2 million yuan. Let's talk about it when we arrive, and it's better to mention a little more.

There are two in Japan, Warner’s Japanese branch, Polly Carin, and Polly Carin, I also worked with. They offered five million dollars.

It's stingy, the Japanese market is huge, and it costs seven or eight million.

The other is to grab the global distribution rights, the highest asking price is 25 million US dollars, what do you think? "

"25 million, I think it's okay!" Zhang Guoshi told the truth.

"Don't you look down on it? I'm not going to sell it, I just talk about sharing."

joke!

The global box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" exceeded US$200 million. Although "Hero" was a little worse, it also had US$177 million.

But "Ambush on Ten Sides" is not good, the quality is poor, the foreigners are aesthetically tired, and only took more than 90 million US dollars. Xu Fei intends to cut costs and make a martial arts movie honestly, and don't talk about it.

While talking, when I arrived, I met with a Korean filmmaker first.

The mascot Zhang Guoshi couldn't put his mouth in the whole process, he watched Xu Fei fight the foreigners.

After meeting with Japanese studios and American studios, I talked for three days and finally got it done.

…………

"As of the end of this month, "Hero" was released for 13 days, with a box office of 166 million!

It still maintains an average daily income of 10 million yuan, but it is estimated that the momentum will slow down after the new year. "

"Exciting! Exciting!"

Radio and Television, Xu led Longyan Dayue.

Special mother, I really didn't support the wrong kid, I really paid back! Especially after the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, immediately a shiny report card.

"A World Without Thieves" 140 million, "October Siege" 170 million, "Hero" went straight to 200 million.

"What film will they be next year?"

"Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu"."

"okay."

No matter how high the leader Xu lives in the temple, he knows that Zhou Xingchi is a big star, and he has a bottom line.

...

"Humph!"

At home, Dadao Chen read the relevant report of "Hero", and the 166 million figure was bright red and dazzled, and he slapped the newspaper on the table: "Box office doesn't mean everything!"

"Ok?"

Chen Hong, who was 34 years old and gave birth to two sons, turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"I don't like this movie. I don't like its theme. I have also filmed Assassin. I don't think it's right to sacrifice the individual to perfect the collective!"

"..."

Chen Hong has been with him for many years and has long been used to it, so don't talk at this time.

When he finished his nagging talk, this was once second to none, but now he is working hard and quickly haggard at the position of producer, said:

"Okay, okay, don't mention this, do you have a plan for the next one?"

"how?"

"Zhongying contacted me and asked if you have any intention of making a blockbuster."

"Blockbuster..."

Dadao Chen's eyes lit up, he glanced at the newspaper again, and inevitably snorted.

(Three changes today...)
