Director’s Legend - Chapter 346
“The annual Chinese-language movie box office champion is released, and “Painted Skin 2″ has a shocking attack and broke 100 million US dollars in two weeks!”-The Scarlet Letter on the homepage of Mtime.com.
“Shao Shuaijun, producer and screenwriter, directed by Wu Ershan, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun once again joined forces. The 3D sequel of “Painted Skin” “Painted Skin 2″ hits the highest box office record for Chinese-language movies in the mainland with a strong momentum!”-“Beijing Entertainment News “.
“After four years, the “Painted Skin” sequel finally came out. The Chinese Magic Productions grabbed $100 million in the box office in a week and a half. Summit Entertainment has confirmed that “Painted Skin 2″ will be released in North America on November 19, and the global schedule is also planned to advance. In.”-“The Beijing News”.
“The magical power of a commercial director is still there, and the screenwriter has no superpower.”-“Yangcheng Evening News”
Obviously the director is Wu Ershan, and the media still attribute the credit to Shao Shuaijun. After all, Wu Ershan had a lack of director experience before, and Shao Shuaijun has almost never lost any of his screenwriters. From the early “People on the Road”, “Crazy Racing”, “Dulala’s Promotion” to North America’s “Twilight Saga: Twilight”, “The Hunger Games”, “The Hangover”, etc., all Sell out.
Painted Skin 2 showed great color and even surpassed Tai Fook 2, and the three-day weekend from 19th to 21st was the first head-to-head contest between the East and the West. Within Dream Chasing Entertainment Group, CEO Yi Jianmei of Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, and CEO Mitchell of Summit Entertainment, even made a phone call and lost a treat.
Because the time is approaching the end of the year, the head office of the group held a special event “Huashan on the East and West Hemispheres” event, betting on the performance of the two sequels in North America this weekend, so that all employees of the company can choose to be Painted Skin 2 Box Office High or Taifook 2 has a high box office. If you choose the right one, your year-end bonus will double this year. If you choose the wrong one, you won’t lose.
Although Daifuku 2 did not perform well in North America, it is a Hollywood blockbuster after all, and the box office will not be less than 10 million this weekend. Although Painted Skin 2 shows its brilliance in Asia, it is a Chinese-language movie after all. It is difficult to say whether it can adapt to the taste of North America.
This choice is difficult, especially when it comes to year-end awards.
In the end, after a difficult vote and the results were calculated, the number of people who supported Painted Skin 2 was slightly more than the number of people who supported Tai Fook 2. In terms of momentum, Painted Skin 2 has surpassed Dafu 2.
The event not only attracted the employees of Dream Chase Entertainment Group, but also Shao Shuaijun.
“I chose “Painted Skin 2” to defeat “Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: A Game of Shadows”, I think “Painted Skin 2″ can sweep away for 50 million US dollars!” Shao Shuaijun tweeted coaxingly, and then “@ (understandable) To summon Guy Rich, Robert Downey Jr., Zhao Wei, Wu Ershan and others.
Twitter and Time Bib have been interconnected, and they can @来@去 each other.
“Dafu 2 will win!” Guy Rich, the director of Dafu 2, forwarded Shao Shuaijun’s collar, threatening to win.
“Painted Skin 2 will definitely win!” Wu Ershan, the director of Painted Skin 2, also forwarded it, diametrically opposed to Guy Rich.
“Painted Skin 2 won, and Painted Skin 2 won. I invite everyone to dinner!” Zhao Wei said aggressively.
“Is the right choice to get the red envelope? If so, I choose Painted Skin 2. If not, I choose Dafu 2.” Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t seem to have any confidence in himself.
“Donny, you are really shabby, you don’t have any boldness at all. I support Dafu 2!” With the interaction of Shao Shuaijun and others, stars who have nothing to do with these two movies have also been involved. Scarlett Johansson and Robert Jr. worked together. “Iron Man 2”, laughed at this moment. This year, her marriage with Reynolds came to an end, but it seemed to be recovering quickly, and they could all talk and laugh.
“Brother Iron Man, I support you in the name of a hammer!” Jack Gyllenhill reposted on Weibo, and accompanied by a stills of “Thor”. The stills show Jack Gyllensill playing Thor, holding Thor in his hand. The hammer is cool enough to drop slag.
“Teddy Bear asked me to tell you that he supports Painted Skin 2. By the way, I also support Painted Skin 2.” Joseph Gordon Levitt (the male protagonist of Teddy Bear) said weakly.
“Support Painted Skin 2.” Li Yu also intervened.
“Support Dafu 2, but I’m more optimistic about Painted Skin 2. Dafu 2’s **** is **** off.” Christopher Nolan is currently preparing a new film “Interstellar Space”, and he also took a break and interjected.
“My nephew and I support Painted Skin 2 and unify the world!” Li Bingbing joined in boredom and dragged Xiao Shao by the way.
This East-West Hemisphere Huashan Swordsmanship event has gradually spread from within the Dream Entertainment Group to the rivers and lakes. Countless swordsmen and knights drew their swords to cheer and hyped the duel between Painted Skin 2 and Daifuku 2 into a life-and-death duel between Chinese and Hollywood movies. . The stars are helping out, and the fans will naturally not stand idly by, and have threatened to enter the cinema to cheer for their idols.
The media also joined in, coupled with the help of Summit Entertainment and Dream Chasing Golden Harvest, and a vigorous battle broke out.
“Dafu 2 drives low, and Painted Skin 2 drives high. Although Taifook 2 does not represent Hollywood, and Painted Skin 2 cannot represent Chinese movies, this time a direct confrontation is still a good opportunity to test the strength of both sides.”-“New York The Times.
“Hollywood’s geek director Guy Ritchie, and the new director of Chinese-language movies, Urshan, two films that are not at the same level, premiered at the same time, and finally have to compete in the North American market. What is the victory of Painted Skin 2. It’s the success of Taifuku 2’s defense of the soil, let us wait and see.” — Chicago Sun.
“The publicity strategy of Summit Entertainment has played a very good role. In market research, most citizens have further expectations for the two films. Perhaps this is Summit Entertainment’s confrontation with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1). ) Method, let an East-West war to eliminate the influence of Ha7.”-“The Observer”.
“Painted Skin 2’s expedition to North America, Chinese people from all over the country have joined together to support them, and they have already booked out in many movie theaters!”-“Hollywood Entertainment Report”
If the American media still retains a sense of reason, the domestic media will be so excited. Chinese films have been unable to go global for many years, and their international influence is decreasing. Now “Painted Skin 2” can be said to represent the wish of countless Chinese people, and they have begun to fight in North America.
Just like “Painted Skin” that year, it embodies the expectations of the Chinese people, and started a world war with “Poseidon” and “Mission Impossible 3”, and the attention cannot be increased. It was during that battle that “Painted Skin” defeated two major Hollywood movies and reached the top of the North American Championship and the Asian Championship. From this, Shao Shuaijun gained fame and was selected as the cover character by “Time”.
Four years later, another confrontation between East and West.
This time, in terms of cost, director, and scene, it is not as good as the world war of the year.
“Painted Skin 2” only had a production cost of 200 million yuan, while “Painted Skin” was called 500 million yuan. Taifook 2 only had a production cost of 120 million US dollars. At that time, “Mission Impossible 3” and “Poseidon” both started with a production cost of 150 million US dollars. At that time, Shao Shuaijun had the success of “Source Code” first, but now Ur is not well-known.
There is still a huge gap, that is, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1 was also released before the four-day holiday of Thanksgiving. Under the huge pressure of Ha 7, the battle between the two films seemed Somewhat ridiculous.
But in terms of attention, this time the East-West debate is far more than the last world war.
In the past four years, Dream Chasing Entertainment Group has spanned China and the United States. There are countless celebrities influencing. Anyone who jumps out and shouts, attracts a large number of people. The last time it was a melee, this time it was a duel, and the audience’s support was more clear! Ha 7 is indeed strong, but Painted Skin 2 and Dafu 2 are also strong contenders.
Who will be the winner is yet to be known!
Affected by this trend, even bookmakers have offered odds. “Painted Skin 2” lost 1.202, and “Detective Sherlock Holmes 2: Game of Shadows” lost 1.141. From the odds point of view, the difference is not big. Evenly matched.
There is a lot of public opinion.
In the villa, when Shao Shuaijun told Li Xiuxiu, Li Xiuxiu smiled and said, “Now whether it is Painted Skin 2 or Dafu 2, it can be divided into Ha 7’s popularity, and the final win is our Dream Entertainment. Whoever came up with this idea is amazing. “It’s been 8 months since she was pregnant, and Li Xiuxiu has now completely put down the company and waited for the due date to arrive with peace of mind.
“A low-level employee named Qin Huohuo. This guy works in the propaganda department. He has a good planning ability and has a lot of ghost ideas. Last week, Sister Mei went to inspect work. This guy rashly sold ideas to Sister Mei. Now, Qin Huo Huo has risen to three poles in a row and has become the deputy planning director of the Propaganda Department of Chasing Dream Golden Harvest.
“Haha, this guy is so courageous. Sister Mei is not that easy to talk. She has strict discipline requirements for employees.”
“It’s also thanks to Sister Mei that she has a propaganda background and has approved his plan, otherwise it will be expelled.” Shao Shuaijun said with emotion that people’s chances are always more important than talents. Qin Huohuo is talented and has entered the dream of Jiahe for four or five years , But they have always been the bottom employees. If it wasn’t for this reckless move, if it wasn’t for Yi Jianmei’s sensitivity to propaganda planning, this guy could not decide what to do.
“By the way, you go to Treasure Island tomorrow and come back in a few days?”
Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: “Three or four days, let me go to the United States first. The second filming work of “The Night Watcher” requires me to go there in person. It will take me a day or two. There is still one day to go to the Golden Horse Award, Li If Eucalyptus agrees to direct “The Fantastic Drifting of the Junior School,” he will definitely have to discuss it for a day or two to see how to prepare and adapt the script.”
“Go early and return early.” Li Xiuxiu said reluctantly.
“Don’t worry, if it weren’t for Li Yu’s lead, I wouldn’t have gone to the Golden Horse Awards. I would go early and return early. Anyway, I have a special plane, so I can come here as easily as possible.
“Well, it’s cold outside, remember to wear more clothes…”
On November 18, 2010, Shao Shuaijun flew to the United States. The second production of “The Night Watcher” was launched, and the publicity had to be carried out simultaneously. Although this was a rebuild of an old film, the project and schedule were still set up and scheduled according to a new movie. With the 3D visual effects detonated by “Avatar”, many old films have begun to set up projects for 3D version conversion. If possible, Shao Shuaijun also intends to convert “Night Watcher” to IMAX-3D version.
With the massive construction of IMAX-3D cinemas in China, it is time to pick fruits.
The plane flew up among the white clouds.
