You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 392 The impact is coming?

  06 to 07.

   is probably a year of vigorous and savage growth of Chinese films.

   Even now looking back on this year, countless people still find it incredible.

  The movie "Time Machine", which occupied the first three years of the Chinese box office, was defeated by "Superman 1" under the witness of countless Chinese people.

  480 million is a daunting figure.

When everyone felt that this "Superman 1" was about to replace "Time Machine" to dominate the Chinese movie box office for many years, "Jurassic" reappeared, breaking the "Jurassic" with an amazing box office of 530 million. The record of the film, however, "Jurassic" has not dominated the Chinese film box office for a long time, and another film called "Sevier" was born...

   In a year of watching the flowers, everyone has become a witness to the rise of Hollywood movies.

  While witnessing the birth of new kings one by one, they also witnessed the gradual emergence of Huaxia movies from the era of humiliation, and the birth of works such as "The Grandmaster", "Jin Yiwei" and "Struggling" with excellent reputation and box office.

  Huaxia film people who were once hit by reality have finally seen the hope of the rise of Chinese movies. After regaining their confidence in domestic films, they no longer scolded and gave up on themselves.

  The second half of 2007.

   This confidence is even stronger, and even a little bit of pride is faintly born.

   "Night Walker", "Infernal Affairs", "Our Motherland", the three films are in time for the August release, some films did not meet expectations, but at least none of them hit the street.

   And the beginning of August this year was the only month in the non-Chinese film protection month that was not suppressed by Hollywood films.

   August 12th.

  When the box office of the movie "Infernal Affairs" came to an end on the second day, and continued to suppress the stance, after maintaining a box office of 30 million yuan and creating an astonishing record of 60 million yuan for two days, the entire Chinese film circle was boiling!

   Countless people looked at this data with numb scalps, and they were beyond excited!

   Chinese movies have never had such a bright moment!

   It seems that the Chinese box office record of "Panda Man" is no longer far away.

   However, the cheering didn't last long when such a message appeared on Weibo.

  ["Superman 2" confirmed to be set for August 15th! 】

   After seeing the news, the cheering Huaxia filmmakers only felt that they had been punched hard in the chest and panicked.

   Last year's "Superman 1" grossed 480 million at the box office.

   is a landmark work.

   After a year, the market is not the same as last year.

  With the rapid development of China's economy, people pay more and more attention to the quality of life, and entertainment projects have gradually become an indispensable part of people's lives.

At the beginning of the year, those theater chain executives who had a keen sense of the market saw the future prospects of the film industry, and almost invariably began to expand wildly around them. In just August, the number of theater chains increased by about 40%. .

At the same time, in order to maintain the vitality of the entire industry, the relevant departments issued a series of policies to combat pirated movies in May, and removed countless "preemptive", "pirated", "recorded" and "live" versions on the Internet. ” and other pirated movies, and strongly crack down on pirated disc pirates.

   Under various policies to stimulate the market, the Chinese film market has been expanded by nearly half. Movies such as "Jurassic", "Interstellar", and "The Grandmaster" all set records only under the booming market!

so……

  When "Superman 2" was announced to be scheduled for August 15th, filmmakers who had confidence in Chinese films panicked!

   Not only the movie people panicked, but the netizens on the Internet also began to discuss it.

   [If "Superman 1" can be placed in 2007, its box office will definitely exceed 480 million. According to market forecasts, he will definitely reach 600 million! 】

   [600 million is less, if it is released in March this year, "Superman 1" will definitely be 700 million! 】

   [One thing to say, although some people are ambitious and destroy their own prestige, but if "Superman 1" is released together with "The Grandmaster", "The Grandmaster" might be overwhelmed! 】

   ["Superman 2" is released, will you watch it? I will watch it. After all, the 3D special effects of "Superman 1" are so amazing. I can swear that Huaxia couldn't make such a good movie in ten years! 】

  【Ten years? Twenty years to shoot! 】

  【"Infernal Affairs" is miserable...Is Zhang Shuyin's Weibo still there? This guy is a prophet! Nima, is "Superman 2" really released? 】

  【…】

   In the discussion...

   Except for some diehard fans of Huaxia movies, everyone else is pessimistic about "Infernal Affairs" hitting "Superman 2".

  【Has Huaxia films in the local market really beat Hollywood films? ].

  Zhang Shuyin's Weibo was updated again on August 12th.

   The content of the update is short.

   There is only one sentence.

   However, such a sentence made countless netizens who were pessimistic suddenly become more silent.

  The name of the person, the shadow of the tree!

   Countless people have checked the information of previous Chinese movies and Hollywood blockbusters.

   Either being suppressed, or lingering, or being suppressed on the street...

   is cruel, as if that humiliating history reappeared!

  Chinese Movies…

   has never won a Hollywood blockbuster.

What's even more cruel is that even if Zhou Yang is in China, and the popularity of the movie explodes, it will not change the expectations of the series of "Superman" IPs in the hearts of fans and children, and it will not change the second box office of "Infernal Affairs". Ten yuan, the fact that "Superman 2" a 3D box office is 40 yuan.

   Even with the same number of viewers, the box office is twice the difference!

  …………………………

   It's not just fans who are anxious.

   And Django.

  Django can accept that the box office of "Nightwalker" is not as strong as expected, but he can't accept that "Nightwalker" is hitting the street, or even losing money.

   The appearance of "Superman 2", everyone with discernment knows that it is sniping "Infernal Affairs".

   After the release of "Superman 2", the box office of "Infernal Affairs" will inevitably be greatly affected. Although it will not hit the street, it is very difficult to break the record under the suppression of "Superman 2".

  In the office.

The    analyst has deduced all the situations that can arise next, but the result of the deduction is a fact that Django cannot accept.

   "Infernal Affairs" will be influenced by "Superman 2", but "Nightwalker" is very likely to be hit hard.

There are only a few movies released in August. "Infernal Affairs" is now at its peak. Even if it is affected, it is impossible to reduce the number of movies. "Our Motherland" is the main theme movie. No matter how bad the box office is, we must maintain a certain number of movies. Quantity, it is impossible to draw in advance...

   So…

   "Night Walker" is very likely to become the victim of this game.

  This movie has an investment of 300 million yuan. Unless the Chinese box office reaches 600 million, the overseas box office will be a small explosion to make a return!

  If this situation continues, "Dark Walker" might not be able to hit the street.

  The investment of 300 million RMB did not come from a strong wind!

   Django signed a gambling agreement and took money from the capital to realize his shooting ambitions. If the gambling agreement could not be completed, he might explain it here for the rest of his life.

   And the capital structure behind "Night Walker" is also intricate and terrifyingly powerful. Unless Xinghui's executives personally come forward to settle the capital, otherwise...

  Django broke out in a cold sweat.

   He immediately took out his mobile phone and called Cao Bangguo.

   He can accept that his skills are not as good as others, he can accept that he is not as good as Zhou Yang, a monster, and he can accept that "Dark Night Walker" can fail to reach the expected box office, but he must not be on the street.

   The call was connected quickly.

   He reiterated the concerns in his heart.

  Cao Bangguo was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will contact the director of "Superman 2", but the probability of delaying the release is not very high..."

  When he hung up the phone, Django lowered his head, watching the discussion about "Superman 2" on the Internet once reached the top of Weibo's hot search list, and Django was even more irritable.

  About 30 minutes...

  The phone rang again.

   Cao Bangguo called. After the call was connected, Django heard that the other side was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Superman 2 will be released on time..."

   "Is there any other way?"

   "Negotiate with the major theater chains. In the past few days, if you don't do anything, just go to the bosses of the major theater chains to discuss the arrangement of "Night Walker"..."

"anything else?"

   "There are some unspoken rules... Forget it, some unspoken rules should not be used anymore. Be upright." Cao Bangguo on the other end of the phone was about to say something, but finally shook his head.

  "..." After Django heard the words "Unspoken Rules", he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at his hands.

   was silent for a long time, and when he was wandering, his phone rang again.

   When he saw the number on the other end of the phone, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it, as if he didn't expect this person to call him!

   "Director Zhao?"

  …………………………

   Early morning on October 14th.

   Zhou Yang doesn't pay attention to the popularity of the premiere of "Superman 2" which is buzzing on the Internet.

   It has been less than a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival.

   At this moment...

  Almond, egg yolk, Hong Kong style, bean paste, ham.

   He is in his new kitchen, experimenting with a dazzling array of mooncakes.

  An Xiao’s family is powerful and powerful, so it’s not conspicuous for you to send some other things.

  Of course, gifts are still to be given. In addition to gifts, Zhou Yang felt that he would give each person a box of moon cakes he made by himself, which would better express his affection for his elders.

"no!"

   Zhou Yang tasted the freshest mooncake.

   then frowned.

   I think this moon cake is not as delicious as I imagined.

   He was a little disappointed at first, and went back to the factory to redo it.

   "Beep beep."

   The phone rang.

  The call was from Wang Jing.

   "Mr. Zhou..."

"What's wrong?"

   "I was reading Weibo just now, and the popularity of our "Infernal Affairs" was surpassed by "Superman 2"..."

   "Oh, it's normal, after all, the popularity of "Superman 2" is also very high, and we can't always be at the top of the Weibo popularity list..."

   "Actually, it's very easy to be at the top of Weibo, but I don't know if Mr. Zhou wants to be on the list..."

   "Huh? What's the big news?"

   "No...Mr. Zhou, you only need to register a Weibo, just send a sentence."

"what?"

   Mo wait, there is no second chapter
