"Welcome to the Weekly Film Report, where we start with the theatrical side of things.""
Since the epidemic has been lifted, the theater chain has finally ushered in a heavyweight blockbuster, that is, "Eight Hundred".The release of this movie can be described as going through twists and turns, and it has been withdrawn several times, and finally met the audience on September 5. ”"Eight Hundred" achieved very good results as soon as it was released, with a box office of 141 million on the first day and 639 million on the first weekend.As of yesterday, "Eight Hundred" has been released for ten days, with a total of 1.562 billion box office, according to Maoyan Film's prediction, the final box office of the film will be more than 2.5 billion, and 3 billion depends on luck. ”"After watching it for more than half a year, many fans are in a hurry, it doesn't matter, on the 28th of this month, the famous director Li He officially landed in mainland theaters with his new work "Inception".This movie is Li He's first time cooperating with Hollywood first-line superstars, bringing together many stars from Hollywood and the Chinese entertainment industry.Just last weekend, "Inception" released a special edition trailer, and it can be seen from the trailer that this is a typical Lee Hertz movie. ”"I hope Director Li's film can stop the decline of the current film market and really save the market.""
Inception", directed by Li He, co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Yang Yang, Emma Jefferson, International Chapter, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Zhou Runfa, Mark Ruffalo and others, the lineup can be described as star-studded.This film has been the focus of public opinion since the start of filming, and it was supposed to meet the audience in May this year, but due to the impact of the epidemic, it has been postponed to now.But the attention of the film is still undiminished, the most obvious is the number of trailer views, which has risen from more than 10 million in January to more than 80 million, and the latest special edition trailer has just been released on the video website, and it has quickly exceeded 10 million views.The film is finally willing to be released, and the happiest is undoubtedly Warner Pictures.Judging from the situation of "Eight Hundred", the Chinese market has regained a certain vitality, and "Inception" can be a big seller if it is not good.Li He is not so optimistic, and has mentioned this issue in several shareholder meetings of Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures."
I am very confident in the quality of my films, but the National Day schedule is very special after all, and I am afraid that if competitors make some crooked moves, it will have some negative impact on the film."
Li He explained his concerns at the meeting."
There are not many competitive films in this year's National Day file, mainly "My Hometown and Me" produced and distributed by Good Monkey, and "Jiang Ziya", the new work of the producer of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends", which was a big hit last year, and the others are not worth mentioning."
Cheng Zhiwen said."
Ning Hao should disdain to use this kind of means, and you and Xu Zheng and Deng Chao have a good relationship, everyone competes legitimately, and each has his own ability."
Wang Hejun also said.Li He shook his head and said: "I'm not worried about this, since a series of events last year, I always feel that there are many hands behind the scenes pushing all this, afraid that someone is planning something." ”"It's very simple, your rise has violated the interests of many people, and of course they see you as a thorn in the flesh and want to get rid of you quickly."
Cheng Zhiwen said."
Xiaohe, don't worry, we are not without the strength to fight back, relax your heart, we will always be your strong backing."
Wang Hejun assured.Li He is still a little empty, since the beginning of the past two years, Li He's reputation has gradually surpassed that of the older generation of directors and has become the first domestic director.It's cold in high places, not to mention that Li He is so young.If Li He has maintained such a strong desire to create, it means that he may rule the film industry for decades.It is unknown how many people will lose and how many benefits will be lost over a long period of time.And it is impossible to cooperate with Li He, because Li He is already a firm partner of Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures, and the two companies will not watch Li He, a cash cow, run away to other companies.This is also why Li He did not set up his own company, dominate the entertainment industry, and dominate the entertainment world as written in entertainment.Li He thinks that he doesn't have the talent to run a company, and he has no intention of intriguing with other big companies, he just wants to make movies, that's all.The director circle is not without precedents for opening his own company, Ning Hao's Good Monkey Film Company is one, but with the support of China Film Group, Good Monkey is still half-dead and barely supported.Fortunately, Ning Hao's gang of three is indeed talented, and the movies they made are applauded and popular.But what Li He can assert is that once it fails once, the date of the good monkey closure will not be far off.Li He is much safer, Penguin Pictures needless to say, as a holding subsidiary of Penguin, with the strong support of Penguin Group, unless the above wants to make a move, it is almost a tumbler.Even Guangguang Pictures is a traditional media tycoon, and it can also rank in the top five among private media companies.The two mountains firmly guarded Li He and shielded Li He from the wind and rain, and Li He brought them huge returns.Time passed little by little, and news came from Big Scissors, because the production of "Together" was going very well, Big Scissors decided to let this series be broadcast during the National Day.Li He has no right to decide, and he only notified Li He because he is the chief director after all, and the other participating staff and stars don't know the specific broadcast date at all.Big Scissors is Dad, and Li He has no choice but to let it go, but fortunately, Big Scissors basically respects the opinions of Li He and other creators, and the TV version and the online version were broadcast without cutting.The trailer has been launched on various platforms, and the publicity and marketing also understand the selling point of this drama, and then the publicity plan will highlight the information that the chief director is Li He.This trick really worked, because this was the first time in Li He's career until the TV series, and many people who paid attention to Li He paid special attention to this drama.Li He said in an interview: "This filming of the TV series is a novel experience for me, and the process is quite memorable. ”When asked by a reporter if he would have any plans for the TV series in the future, Li He replied: "There are no similar plans, and the focus of my career is still on movies." ”However, Li He then said that DreamWorks will have more episodes to meet you in the future, so stay tuned.In fact, DreamWorks has produced a lot of good works in dramas, and Chen Meizhou and Li Junsheng are the two major drama directors.Chen Meizhou has become the soul of "Ghost Blowing Lantern Series", and Li Junsheng also became popular with "The Banker".Next, Chen Meizhou will continue the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Series", and Li Junsheng's new drama has started filming, which is a professional drama.However, the core of DreamWorks' business has always been movies, Guo Fan is preparing for "The Wandering Earth 2", and there have been many new films in recent years, including "One Second" and "On the Cliff".However, it is Li He's film that has attracted the most attention......
