Perfect Superstar

The film industry is a high-profit industry. As far as the current domestic film market is concerned, there are so many film companies among them. The three major cinema lines and small and medium cinema lines are desperately building cinemas all over the country. An extra bite on the incomparably large cake.

In the past ten years, there have been many films with an investment of only 20 to 30 million yuan that have achieved great success, and finally won an astonishing box office of hundreds of millions or even over one billion. The profits are high enough to make traditional industries feel ashamed.

But a careful analysis of these low-budget and high-grossing films reveals that the mystery is either youth idols or comedies, basically without exception.

Other high-grossing films come from high investment, with investments ranging from 100 to 200 million yuan everywhere. Domestic blockbusters are desperately trying to get closer to Hollywood in terms of special effects, which also leads to continuous increase in production costs.

As a domestic film, A Chinese Ghost Story has not surpassed everyone in the box office. There are many domestic films with a box office of over 500 million in the first week, and you can cite seven or four examples at random.

However, A Chinese Ghost Story is a fantasy ghost film with a small investment. Its box office of 420 million in the first week makes it a very special case, and it seems to have opened a door for colleagues in the industry.

It turns out that this type of movie can be shot like this.

There are not many computer special effects involved in A Chinese Ghost Story, and the production is quite sophisticated. Many shots use props and traditional shooting techniques, but after editing and synthesizing, the effect is very good, especially the battle scenes can be called ingenious, which is better than that colorful I don't know how strong the fancy special effects are.

And the reason for its success is not only that, the characters with distinctive personalities, the poignant and touching love story, including the appearance of the main characters, and the impeccable ancient soundtrack, together constitute a classic

Yes, a classic

After watching A Chinese Ghost Story, many people in the industry believe that this film is enough to lead the new trend of domestic fantasy ghost films, and is fully qualified to become a classic.

On the Internet, the word-of-mouth of A Chinese Ghost Story remains high, and the comprehensive score has been maintained at A-level. Many film critics gave strong recommendations on their respective blogs, and the entertainment media reported and paid attention.

The combination of such various factors has created a Chinese Ghost Story's box office height, and it has also overwhelmed the new and biggest competitor, Legend of the Holy Land.

Compared with A Chinese Ghost Story, the just-released Legend of the Holy Land has a much worse reputation. The box office of this Hollywood blockbuster was lackluster in North America. It originally wanted to make money back in China, but the audience didn't buy it much.

April 10,

The box office of A Chinese Ghost Story fell slightly to 81 million, a big step towards the 1 billion mark, while Legend of the Holy Land dropped to 47 million. Although the box office exceeded 100 million in two days, such a high drop clearly indicates that With a bleak outlook.

Interestingly, another domestic film, Our Youth Is Not Lonely, which was released at the same time as A Chinese Ghost Story, went against the market and went up by one or two million, highlighting the powerlessness of the legend of the Holy Land.

Nowadays, domestic movie audiences have already experienced the baptism of big waves of Hollywood blockbusters. Pure special effects and visual stimulation are obviously unable to meet everyone's movie-watching needs, so the legend of the Holy Land, which focuses on special effects and weak plots, is naturally easily abandoned.

From a certain point of view, the day when any Hollywood blockbuster can sweep the domestic market is long gone.

no longer there

However, many people in the industry believe that if there is no Chinese Ghost Story, or if Chinese Ghost Story is replaced with the painted skin that has been released in advance, the box office of Legend of the Holy Land will not be so high.

On the evening of April 12th, Chenfei Media held a celebration party for a Chinese Ghost Story with a box office of over 500 million at the Meikadi Culture and Art Center in Beijing.

Nowadays, the threshold for movies is getting higher and higher. In the past, it was worth celebrating if the box office exceeded 100 million. Now it will be laughed at if it is less than 500 million.

The actual box office of this movie has already attracted the attention of the industry, so on the day of the celebration, all the media invited by Chenfei Media were present, and there were also many uninvited reporters gathered outside the art center, wanting to Take a chance.

A Chinese Ghost Story's 500 million celebration party was quite grand. It started planning a few days ago, and invited all the original crew from Xiangjiang, including Nie Mingzhu, who played the heroine, and Yan Chixia. Ma Rongzhen.

The two also received a lot of attention from the media, especially Nie Mingzhu, who has become popular in the mainland with A Chinese Ghost Story, became the focus of the scene, and countless flashing lights were lit on her.

As usual, in addition to media reporters and guests in the circle, there were also many lucky fans, all of whom were qualified through the blog lottery.

These fans and guests received an exquisite gift upon entering the venue, and they were all very satisfied. They also made the atmosphere extremely lively, especially when Lu Chen, Chen Feier, Nie Mingzhu and Ma Rongzhen jointly opened the When a huge bottle of champagne was served, the audience roared with cheers

Afterwards, Lu Chen was interviewed by many media. There were nearly twenty microphones with LG stretched out in front of him, and even more reporters surrounded him.

A reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Lu Chen, may I ask if you will shoot the second part of A Chinese Ghost Story?"

Lu Chen shook his head without thinking: "No, but I have already sold the copyright of A Chinese Ghost Story to a partner, so the second or even the third part may be filmed, but I will not participate in it again."

He wanted to make a movie, but there were so many scripts to choose from, there was absolutely no need to rely on sequels to make money.

This surprised the reporters a little bit, knowing that a sequel to a blockbuster movie was a matter of course, and Lu Chen was willing to give up this lucrative profit.

But then again, without him as the leading actor, the sequel would be a lot paler

"So what do you want your second film to do?"

Lu Chen smiled slightly and said, "This is a secret for the time being. Right now, I'm preparing to shoot my third TV series, You from the Stars. It's expected to be launched by the end of this month."

This can be regarded as a piece of news, which must be of interest to many of Lu Chen's TV fans.

But the reporters were not satisfied, and someone asked again: "Excuse me, why did this movie choose a newcomer as the heroine, and Chen Fei'er played the villainous boss?"

The inquiring reporter's eyes sparkled, obviously hoping to dig out some big news from Lu Chen's mouth.

The second one is delivered. To be continued ~~
