Chapter 1562

After the millennium, infected by the atmosphere of that night, Simon simply flew to Hawaii the next day with a group of women for a short vacation, a perfect time for fathers and mothers without the annoyance of little guys.

Although.

After the vacation, Simon also decided to take a few more days off for himself.

On another vacation, he went to Australia.

Christmas and new year's day didn't pass. After the festival, I still have to visit my relatives. It's the same in both East and West. What's more, I have to go and pick up my eldest son to avoid being cheated by an old man over 90 to hunt.

The small one has nothing to worry about. It's mainly another one.

Even though the old man is still hale and hearty, at this age, he can't stand any bumps. As for playing with guns, it's even more inappropriate. If you have nothing to do, continue your hobby and collect more watches. It's really not good. You can buy several watch makers.

……

In Hollywood, Simon went to Australia to visit his relatives. The last box office week across Christmas at the end of the year also passed soon.

In the week from December 31, 1999 to January 6, 2000, there was another reversal in the North American film market.

It was no longer the game of the brave 2 that topped the list this week, but Chicago.

The next week after its release, "Chicago" maintained the box office of the second week at more than $40 million, reaching $40.54 million, and the cumulative box office also exceeded $90.3 million. It is a miracle for an old-fashioned song and dance film.

According to the analysis of gaomen film team, this trend is mainly due to last week. Because of Christmas, most of the audience tend to bring their families together, so they prefer the type of family fun. This is also the reason why Disney's word-of-mouth magic elf maintained a good trend last week, and even motor racing achieved a slight reverse decline.

In contrast, even if it is not r, Chicago has reached PG-13. Moreover, this PG-13 obviously has the elements of danilis's public relations operation. After all, the plot of the film is murder and thigh, which is not suitable for children to watch at all.

Therefore, the box office potential of Chicago was actually suppressed in the Christmas week.

On New Year's day, even though many movie viewers still prefer family fun, more people began to be interested in the song and dance film Chicago, resulting in a slight decline of 18% in the next week.

In the first week of the film, with its excellent reputation and seven nominations for the Golden Globe Award, everyone thought that Chicago would surely come out of a beautiful long line.

Now, the cumulative box office has exceeded $90 million in two weeks. If you go out of a long-term future, how much do you want to go?

200 million?

more than sufficient.

300 million?

If Chicago can kill all sides in the next award season, coupled with the huge popularity accumulated by box office for two consecutive weeks, it is not impossible to look forward to the local box office threshold of $300 million.

Anyway, with the box office of "Chicago" coming out the next week, the whole Hollywood has been looking at similar song and dance film projects.

So popular, don't follow suit, with whom?

Then, the second place on the list was not the game of the brave 2, but was toppled by the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings.

In the fourth week of release, there was no reason for the opening of a new film. The weekly decline of the Lord of the rings: the messenger of the ring narrowed again to 25% compared with last week, with a revenue of US $35.04 million, and the cumulative box office reached US $240.73 million.

Steadily push forward to $300 million.

From the current trend, the volume of the first song of the Lord of the rings is expected to be equivalent to that of steel 2.

Danilis entertainment also has some regrets. If it can win the Golden Globe Award and even the next Oscar nomination for the Lord of the rings: the guardian, it is not impossible for the local community to hit 400 million in the long term with the volume of the film.

As for overseas, if there can be an award halo, coupled with the wide influence of the Lord of the rings series novels, it is not an extravagant hope to reach a global level of 1 billion.

However, the strategy was originally set. Moreover, if the Lord of the rings: the guardian of the rings is really strong, even if it can get the nomination, it is very unlikely to win the prize. After all, this is still a commercial film. Even if it is artistic enough, it lacks some connotation enough to win the prize, it is still useless.

Simon certainly remembers the killing of the final part of the Lord of the rings trilogy at the Oscars. He also knows that the first two Lord of the rings did not get nothing in nominations at least. However, since the heat is not enough, there is no need to do useless work for the time being.

The third place on the list finally turned to the third week's game of the brave 2.

Compared with the fairly good 36% decline control of the next week, the box office of brave Game 2 fell by 43% this week, with a revenue of only US $29.78 million and a cumulative box office of US $163.7 million.

It's OK to break through 200 million, but it's only limited to the 200 million level equal to the first song.

Except for the top three films, the box office trend of other films in the same period has been basically determined, so there is no need to repeat.

……

While Hollywood's schedule ends at the end of the year, China's film market on the other side of the ocean is bustling.

The publicity campaign of "new millennium, new generation" in cooperation with Jinshu media and huanzhu film and television has achieved unexpected success. It's really unexpected.

During the same box office week from December 31 to January 6, two low-cost films promoted by "new millennium, new generation" have become two must see films for many people across the millennium.

In fact, the Chinese audience is not too sensitive to the cost, even if they have been influenced by the super heavy bomb in Hollywood.

On the contrary, under the publicity of brocade and book, the public is full of curiosity and some instinctive support for the weak for the two new generation directors to produce two films with very good reputation with very little budget.

In addition, after all, it is to welcome the millennium. At least among the young people, it is most appropriate to take the opportunity to see a film.

As a result, two low-cost films, the first of which is wormhole, quickly made a box office of 37 million yuan in the first week of painting, which almost surprised a large group of insiders.

A small cost of 2 million!

How come the box office was 37 million in a week?

More than ten times the return on investment, not to mention, it is only the beginning!

Then, the box office of Tongtian spectrum, mainly promoted by the brocade book department, also reached 29 million yuan in the first seven days of the week.

First of all, a group of people in brocade Book remembered the argument that someone once said, pure martial arts, because Hong Kong and Taiwan have shot all kinds of models that should be shot. In the new era, martial arts films are difficult to do much.

Therefore, di Renjie's empire of heaven, which combines martial arts and chivalry, has been extended. It is necessary to retain the martial arts spirit, but at the same time, it needs to go further and add mysterious, strange and strange elements to make the project more selling point than pure martial arts.

This is a digression.

In a word, although the cost was recovered directly in the first week, the tongtianpu with a production cost of 5 million is still far from the wormhole with a production cost of only 2 million, which seems to find a direction not only for the interior of Jinshu, but also for the whole Chinese film industry that is ready to move because of the recovery of the industry.

To make modern drama, to make comedy.

However, the problem comes again. What and how to shoot?

In fact, there is no shortage of comedy in China. Some comedians who have been active on the small screen in recent years, especially during the Spring Festival Gala, are more or less involved in film shooting. Of course, the theme is comedy, and most of them go straight to the new year's schedule. However, few can cause too much response.

This involves a theory put forward by Simon.

After staying on the small screen for a long time, it will inevitably produce a sense of cheapness, which makes the audience feel that I can see it on the small screen for free. Why should I spend money to enter the cinema to see the big screen?

In any case, the unexpected opening of the cross-year schedule, so that the combined production cost of the two small films is only 7 million yuan. With the current still hot popularity, it is not a problem for both to break 100 million, which is really annoying.

……

Beijing, time comes to January 8.

Saturday.

This is because not only did the two films sell well, but it was actually the first victory of the whole "new millennium, new generation" plan. Even if the film in the brocade book department failed to beat the small part of huanzhu film and television, this side took the initiative to plan a celebration dinner this Saturday.

Just before and after the release of the film, the roadshow team that ran all over the country has also returned.

Huanzhu film and television headquarters near Beijing Normal University has a lot of things recently. In addition to the publicity of "wormhole", there are some follow-up releases of "time like water" after the perfect ending of CCTV, and "huanzhu gege 2", which will be broadcast grandly in the middle of the month. In addition, Ren Jingxi is also planning a martial arts reality show.

Anyway, I'm busy, so Saturday is also a full day's work.

In the evening, Ren Jingxi directly pulled up his father who wanted to go home from work and went to Xidan Hotel, the host of the banquet.

Ren Fu's personality is too upright. He has never been interested in these social gatherings, or he has some instinctive resistance. However, when his daughter "threatened" that if her father was unwilling to accompany her, she would have to pull on her brother, so she compromised. In turn, she threatened that if the eldest daughter dared to take her son to those messy occasions, she would

Any father can't say anything like breaking his leg, and he won't say anything else, and then he gets stuck.

The children are too old to care.

It was brought over after all.

In fact, I also know that my daughter is still connected with the big man in the United States, and my father and daughter are quite frank. Ren Jingxi takes the initiative to admit that the other party really wants to let go. This time she takes the initiative, or she does have some ideas of repaying kindness, but more is... I really like it.

In private, I heard my daughter say a lot about the foreign man, just those songs and the other party's profound attainments in Chinese culture. Such a person can't find anything wrong except that there are some irregularities in men and women that Ren Fu can't stand.

Obviously, it's not up to him, a little Chinese teacher, to pick on anything. After all, that's where he can easily sit in the great hall and talk and laugh with those adults.

Therefore, any father doesn't worry about what occasion his daughter will attend.

With that man, Ren Fu doesn't think anyone will harass his daughter at all. It's also a benefit to think so.

In this case, if he is forced to attend, his daughter obviously just allows him to relax more. According to a certain saying, it is to enjoy life.

Capitalism!

Sure enough, in the banquet hall of Xidan Hotel, Ren Jingxi immediately turned his face and refused to recognize him. After introducing his father to Wu Shanlin and President Han of China film, he ignored him and let him move freely.

If father can find her a little mother, open the champagne tonight.

Although, it's unlikely.

The mother's unexpected departure is a long pain that the family doesn't want to talk about and is difficult to eliminate. The father is the one who was hurt the most. He doesn't have any meaning at all. He just hopes that their three children can be well, safe and happy.

There is still some time at the beginning of the dinner party, which happens to be reserved for entertainment.

Ren Jingxi first saw the tall Jane Xin. He greeted her and asked when she would come back. He learned that the purpose of returning home was to shoot a refrigerator advertisement and that the company. He also asked the other party's offer half jokingly. If she could afford to hire Miss Jane, who is already an international famous model, the bid must not be too low.

Jane Xin didn't hide it either. She put up a finger and shook it.

Ren Jingxi knows that either 10 million or 1 million US dollars.

Of course, it can't be compared with the endorsement of Western stars that often cost millions of dollars, but in China, this is already the top price. Ren Jingxi knows that the famous Jack Cheng in Hong Kong shot advertisements for domestic enterprises in the past two years, which was only 8 million yuan. There are human factors, but it is also impossible for China to give higher standards.

In fact, of course, it's not for nothing. It's all precious data.

For example, the artists of their own Jinshu film and television company can maximize their interests as much as possible when they are familiar with the market. Ren Jingxi has no master of these details.

Just then, his artists came to greet him.

She is a little servant girl.

There was no shadow of the other two.

Ren Jingxi also knows that after the filming of huanzhu 2, they have had the intention to leave, mainly huanzhu film and television. The two women feel that they have not won their due resources for them. What's more, they also climbed a high branch in Hollywood, and even Ren Jingxi signed several newcomers who threatened them. For example, in this wormhole, from the director to the star, several main creators were brought under Ren Jingxi's command, and they were all young people.

In short, if you want to have a good future, you can't stop it.

When they signed the two, huanzhuge was already popular, so the agreement was signed loosely and could leave at any time.

Ren Jingxi is also aware of this. Therefore, it is largely because Ren Jingxi is unwilling to give them too many resources. These are three birds that can't stand the branches and may fly away at any time.

Just get together and spread out.

It's a little servant girl. Although she stood in the same position with the other two by virtue of the legend of fairy sword and chivalry, she still got the opportunity in Hollywood, but she didn't want to leave.

The idea is not difficult to guess.

Once the two leave, the little servant girl is the absolute first sister in Jinshu film and television. Theoretically, she should pick any good resources first.

The same is true.

However, if you want to shoot "huanzhu gege 3", in fact, Ren Jingxi has not much intention, but anyway, it is unlikely to gather the three heroines within a reasonable budget.

Ren Jingxi doesn't intend to hold on to the "huanzhu gege" series. Even recently, he has been thinking about changing his name again. The label of huanzhu film and television company is too obvious. Perhaps in the television circle, others will listen like thunder, and then look up at your dramas. However, if he wants to develop in many aspects such as movies and games, he will be a little tied up.

While chatting with two girls, several main creators of wormhole arrived. Ren Jingxi took the initiative to meet them, and the little servant girl followed them. It was Jian Xin who turned to another place.

Everyone is warm again.

Ren Jingxi has mentioned that the company will focus on determining the development direction of actors. Some focus on movies and some focus on TV circles. Of course, both sides of the little servant girl are unwilling to give up, but if you want to choose, you must choose movies. After all, now she can step on Hollywood with one foot.

As for TV dramas, even if they are at the top level in China, the highest pay is 10000 or 20000 for a TV series. No matter how high, most of the crew can't afford it at all. Therefore, even if it is a 40 episode drama, if one is shot and busy for a year, it will only be hundreds of thousands.

In contrast, Jiang Anqi, because of the success of Hurricane rescue, people won't take a look at a film, even if it's just a supporting role and the quotation is less than $100000.

The gap between income and style is obvious.

The next goal of the little servant girl is to get the heroine of the investigation in Chinatown, one of the major projects being prepared by the brocade book department. She has got information from Ren Jingxi. The heroine of the investigation in Chinatown doesn't have many scenes and belongs to a vase, but it just suits her. As for the other films, it's not too extravagant.

After all, the public image of the little servant girl is too bright. There is "huanzhu gege" before and "Legend of fairy sword and Chivalry", so it's not easy to turn around.

Just like once, when fan ye had been filming for decades, when the audience saw her, the first thing they thought of was huanzhu gege.

The senior management of brocade Book understands this problem now. Therefore, the core big female master must not fall on the little servant girl.

The vase has a chance to win.

In short, if you want to win and have a good relationship with Ren Jingxi, you must be familiar with Jing Zong, who has been designated as the director of Tang tan.

After such a round of entertainment, everyone finally began to take their seats.

Ren Jingxi's table happens to be the main creator of wormhole. However, on both sides of Ren Jingxi, one is his father and the other is a little servant girl. The main creators of wormhole are farther away.

The next table is the core of the brocade book department, several main creators of tongtianpu, and important guests such as president Han of China film.

After Wu Shanlin made a speech, the dinner officially began.

Looking at the waiters serving one by one, the little servant girl whispered gossip with Ren Jingxi: "who is the fat man next to President Han of China film? It seems that he looks familiar?"

Ren Jingxi glanced at the past, smiled and whispered, "you know the gambling God Series in Hong Kong. Don't be fat. Be careful to be heard. You won't want to go to Hong Kong in the future."

The little servant girl immediately knew that, however, because it was Ren Jingxi's side, in order to show her closeness, she would be so "open-minded", and of course she wouldn't be so lacking in emotional intelligence in front of outsiders.

However, the little servant girl soon realized something: "sister Ren, Mr. Han pulled the Wang guide to sit next to him. China film will not focus on cooperation with Hong Kong circles next?"

Ren Jingxi knew this earlier than the little servant girl, but this time he just nodded.

It's normal.

This time, brocade book and huanzhu film and Television launched two blockbuster films at one go. It is also a new year. There is no action in China film, and the face must be ugly.

The problem is that the face of China film has always been taken into account here, and we can't do nothing because of this.

They also understand this. Of course, they will not put too much hope here.

Another problem is that there is no shortage of film talents in China. However, too few can keep up with the current trend. It happens that China has opened the restrictions on the entry of Hong Kong films into the mainland. Whether politically or commercially, it is a trend for China film to start cooperation with Hong Kong, which is good at commercial films.

What Ren Jingxi expects is that the two sides can live in harmony next.

As for the reverse suppression of China film, think about it. I'm really hot headed to do it. I'm making trouble for myself. After all, people are able to lift the table. After lifting the table, people go directly to the kitchen to open a small stove, and the rest can only be hungry.
