Chapter 481 I will also stand in that position in the future
After the New Year's Day period, the domestic film market has not changed much.
Entering its second week, the weekday box office of "The Love Master" has not dropped much, and it still holds the throne of the national single-day box office champion.
"The Great Wall" has been released for the fourth week, with a total box office of over 1.2 billion yuan, and a single-day box office of less than 10 million yuan. Although it has obtained the secret key for extension and can continue to be released for more than 30 days, everyone with a discerning eye knows that this Sino-US co-production blockbuster with an investment of 150 million US dollars has basically reached its box office in the domestic market.
In the future, with the accumulation of time, it may exceed 1.3 billion, but it is basically impossible to reach 1.4 billion. After all, movies with poor reputation cannot achieve a long-tail effect.
The final box office performance of the original version of "The Great Wall" was 1.17 billion yuan, and it is now a little more. The only difference is the addition of Gu Wei.
Early films had better publicity, which attracted more audiences to the theaters when they were first released.
Judging from the box office results of the domestic film market, "The Great Wall" is still a long way from making a profit.
However, the producers are not too anxious now. After all, this blockbuster is a joint venture between China and the United States. The release date in North America is scheduled for February 17 this year, and everyone has placed their hopes on the North American film market.
Starring Hollywood superstar Matt Damon, and director Zhang Yimou is also quite famous in North America. In addition, "The Great Wall" itself was filmed according to the Hollywood film industry process, so everyone is optimistic about the future performance of this film in the North American market.
"The Ferryman", which is in its third week of release, has seen its daily box office drop below 5 million after the New Year's Day period. Due to poor word-of-mouth and a sharp drop in box office, theaters have also tightened their screening schedules. According to the current situation, the film may be withdrawn from theaters within a month.
However, due to the powerful early promotion of this film, the great director Wang Jiawei and the gathering of stars, "The Ferryman" earned 450 million yuan at the box office in the first two weeks alone.
Although we lost our reputation, we did not lose money.
The real loss may be Wang Jiawei's reputation among the audience.
Jackie Chan's "Railroad Tigers" still managed to gross over 10 million yuan a day in its third week of release, making it the most successful film besides "The God of Cookery."
Although Cheng Long is old, his basic fan base is still there. As long as the movie is not too bad, there will always be audiences who will pay for it.
It was Friday when "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Zhen Zidan and Jiang Wen, officially landed in the Chinese film market.
In the absence of any strong domestic blockbuster competition, the film took in 75.23 million RMB on its first day with a 40% share of the national screening schedule, effortlessly snatching the national single-day box office championship from "The Love Master".
Then, over the weekend, the film earned 85.41 million and 63.42 million yuan respectively, bringing the total box office for the first three days of its release to 220 million yuan.
[Solaris: A Star Wars Story] was first released in North America on December 16th.
The film has performed well in both box office and word of mouth in North America. The film's cumulative box office in North America has reached 390 million US dollars, ranking third in the "Star Wars" series after "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace".
It is worth mentioning that the two supporting roles played by Zhen Zidan and Jiang Wen in the movie were widely acclaimed. The "Ice and Fire Duo" were portrayed with flesh and blood, and the characters' stories were both funny and tearful.
In addition to "Rogue One", other movies such as "Pig Man: The Heroic Pig Boy", "Live", "The Promise of 10,000 Miles", "Against the Wind" and "Barbershop" were released over the three days of the weekend.
But apart from "Pig Man: The Heroic Pig Boy" voiced by Yi Yang Qianxi, other new films released that week performed poorly, and their box office revenue in the first three days failed to exceed 8 million.
Although the new film did not perform well, the comedy film "The Love Master" in its second week of release still performed well, earning 230 million yuan at the box office that week, surpassing "Rogue One" which had been released for 3 days with a slight advantage of 10 million, and won the championship of this week's box office rankings, with a total box office of more than 400 million yuan.
On January 9, Eternal Love released the ending theme MV "Liangliang" as well as the "Flowers Blooming from the Origin" series of theme posters and the "Three Lives, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" version of the full lineup poster.
That afternoon, director Lin Yufen and 12 leading actors including Gu Wei, Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilmurat, Gao Weigang, Zhang Binbin, Yu Menglong, Wang Yao, Zhu Xudan, Huang Mengying, and Dai Si held a "Flower Season Is Coming" press conference in Shanghai, announcing that "Eternal Love" will be scheduled to premiere on January 30.
As the 2017 New Year fairy love drama, the TV series' press conference was also ethereal and like a fairyland.
At the beginning of the press conference, a group of graceful and elegant "fairies" wearing peach-colored fairy dresses from the play lined up on both sides of the stage, leading the leading actors of the "Fairy Wing Clan" onto the stage one by one, creating a fairy-like atmosphere.
Director Lin Yufen took the stage first and shared her thoughts on the creative and filming process.
"For me, the drama Eternal Love is unique and of great significance.
The two leading actors in this drama, Gu Wei and Yang Mi, are old friends of mine.
This is the second time I have worked with both of them. I first met Mimi when filming "Chinese Paladin 3", and later I met Gu Wei when filming "Love O2O".
In fact, I also thought at the beginning that if I had the opportunity to ask them to shoot a drama together, the effect would definitely be great.
[Eternal Love] gave me this opportunity.
When filming this drama, I not only had two excellent leading actors and a wonderful script, but also an extremely outstanding production team.
It can be said that all the preliminary conditions have been maximized.
The final TV series did not disappoint me. It can be said to be the best costume romance drama I have filmed in these years.
In less than a month, "Eternal Love" will be released. I hope every audience will like this drama and feel happy from it.
Thanks! "
After Director Lin finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.
Afterwards, Gu Wei and Yang Mi took the stage together, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
This is the third time the two have collaborated on screen together. Many fans of the drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" are extremely looking forward to their second collaboration on a fantasy romance drama.
The reporters in the front row kept flashing their cameras, the fans who arrived later kept screaming, and the field was filled with light boards with the names of Gu Wei and Yang Mi.
“Tsk tsk~
The popularity and popularity of the two bosses are too high.
With these two in the cast, it would be strange if our show doesn’t become a hit.”
On the side of the stage, several actors who had not yet gone on stage stood in the shadows, looking at Gu Wei and Yang Mi under the spotlight.
“Indeed, because of Mr. Gu and Sister Mi, this drama has become popular before it even aired.
But I think the quality of [Three Lives, Three Worlds] is worth the popularity."
Reba looked at Yang Mi next to Gu Wei in the center of the stage, and listened to the discussions of Zhang Binbin and Gao Wei beside her, her face full of envy.
However, when he thought about the movie "You Are My Glory" that he filmed with Gu Wei, he suddenly felt at ease.
"It will be soon. It won't be long before I can stand in the spotlight!"
On the stage, the classic "Bai Ye CP" has a perfect understanding and supports each other.
Yang Mi did not change her nature of complaining, and transformed herself into the female emperor "Bai Qian" who loves to make fun of herself. She kept making golden sentences and said bluntly: "Bai Qian's characteristics of not knowing how to give gifts and loving to get lost are very similar to mine."
Gu Wei calls himself "Ye Hua" a "wife slave from the fairy world", and it was revealed that he has many crying scenes in the play, which are particularly affectionate.
When the host asked about their impressions of the collaboration, the two praised each other's professionalism in unison.
"This is the third time I've worked with Yang Mi. We've been good friends since we were filming Swords of Legends.
However, the "Bai Qian" in "Three Lives Three Worlds" is different from "Feng Qingxue" and "Bei Zhai". She is the Queen of Qingqiu, with a strong aura and extraordinary abilities! "
Before Gu Wei finished speaking, Yang Mi interrupted.
"Has she become more beautiful than the last two times?"
Gu Wei turned his head to look at Da Mimi and held back his laughter.
"I'm so sorry, really no~
I feel that Bai Qian’s core is more independent and manly!
"You mean Bai Qian is like the male protagonist in Eternal Love, and the ever-crybaby Ye Hua is more like the female protagonist?"
After listening to what Gu Wei said, Yang Mi fought back unwillingly.
The conversation between the two people drew laughter from the audience.
Afterwards, Gu Wei and Yang Mi specially selected lucky fans to come on stage and personally painted peach blossom makeup for them.
Yang Mi was seen holding rouge cream and carefully putting a cinnabar mole between the fan's eyebrows. She kindly explained that this was the same makeup as "Su Su" in the play. The cinnabar between the eyebrows represented Bai Qian's state as the mortal Su Su, and it was also the first time they fell in love in the true sense.
Gu Wei generously revealed that he is not very good at makeup, so he could only simply draw lips for fans, and joked: "The lip makeup technique must not get it on your teeth!"
Although the two of them only put on some makeup for their fans, they conveyed the deep warmth and sweetness of the play, which was as sweet as "peach blossom honey", to every audience present.
After Gu Wei and Yang Mi, the other leading actors came on stage in groups of two.
Zhang Zhiyao, who plays Zheyan in "Legend of the Ancient Phoenix", and Dilireba, who plays Fengjiu in "Silly and Cute Little Fox", danced passionately, and the two performed "Cha Cha" on the spot.
Because the "funny retired immortal" Donghua Emperor Gao Weigang was too sharp-tongued, he was teased on the chin by the "lovesick black queen" Xuannv Zhu Xudan. Gao Weigang carried forward the emperor's spirit of "never to suffer loss" and performed the "head-patting kill" on the spot.
As the three main actors who serve as the guardians in the play: "the walking book of gossip" Sima Ming Wang Yao, "the ascetic and upright senior brother" Diefeng Lai Yi and "the kind-hearted little princess of the Winged Clan" Yanzhi Dais, they continue to take on the responsibility of protection and present peach blossom wreaths collected from the Ten-Mile Peach Forest to fans, so that the whole audience can share in the wonderful peach blossom luck of the Ten-Mile Peach Forest.
With various segments designed in advance by the staff, the entire press conference was filled with joy. The media's cameras and video cameras recorded this moment, and the fans present also maintained a high spirit.
