Nowadays, the mainland National Day files are all Chinese blockbusters. Just like the two heavyweight blockbusters in the 2021 National Day file, both invited the mainland's hottest Wu Jinglai as the number one male, completely grabbing market share. Swept the box office of billions. On the other hand, "Pipiru and Luxisi: The Canned Man", "Five Poking Boys" and "Saving Donuts" all stopped by tens of millions.
"Such a gap in the box office share is too exaggerated. I have never seen it before." On October 8th, the first-line cinema veteran L accepted the media once said that people who want to watch big production and strong lineup films Too many, it is difficult for other films to get more scheduling opportunities. Moreover, even if the scheduling is increased, the attendance rate may not be guaranteed.
The entire National Day file and October is basically the world of domestic films. "Sand Dune" was released on the 22nd, and " 007 No Time to Die" was released on the 29th. On the contrary, I miss the 2012 National Day co-production blockbuster. ring messenger "!
Back in time for the 2012 Mainland National Day, " Tongquetai", "Tai Chi", "Double Exposure", " Dangerous Relationship" four national day blockbusters scheduled at the same time . The epic blockbuster of the legend of the Three Kingdoms, "Tongque Terrace", originally scheduled to be released on September 28, instantly announced the upgrade to September 26, the leading "Tai Chi", which grabbed the market's box office and reputation.
"Tai Chi" was released on the first day, the theaters suddenly received the official release notice of "Loop Messenger", confirming that the film will be released on September 28 in mainland China, becoming the first in recent years to enter the National Day file at the end of September Overseas blockbuster.
The temporarily fixed sci-fi action movie "Loop Messenger" suddenly became a co-production,What on earth is the reason for parachuting in the National Day gear in an instant?
Look at the subtitles table: Although it is the main project of the American Samsung company that has produced "The Burning Years" and ": Game of the Brave", it is the Chinese DMG Yinji Film and Television Entertainment Media Company that participated in the investment. It is undoubtedly the latter Introduced by the author.
However, "Loop Messenger" is a National Day file only scheduled in July, and there was news exposure on September 11 ["Loop Messenger" missed the National Day file]. If "Loop Messenger" is imported because it does not meet the co-production regulations, it will not be "protected". It would be expected to be removed from the National Day file, but it was unexpectedly reduced.
At that time, netizens were hotly discussing: " DMG boss has someone on top!", "How can "Loop Messenger" come to the National Day file as a co-production in an instant? ”
who is it? "Oriental Morning Post" in the article "The Future of Yinji Media Shoulder Huayi Brothers", quoted the earlier Dan Mitss saying that Xiao Wenge "as the chairman of the company's Xiao Wenge (Xiao Wenge used to use the name) was born in the military. The family used to work in government departments and the army.” This statement has made many associations with his life experience. However, Xiao Wenge has never talked about his background publicly.
So someone is about to ask, since "Loop Messenger" is airborne on the National Day file, who is going to watch it without publicity? It’s your fault that you haven’t paid close attention to the news of "Circle Messenger". Although it was set on September 27, publicity and marketing work was carried out in major media and platforms in advance, including roadside posters and materials. These publicity work has never been done. Broken!
And you will find that after reading "The Ring Messenger", Joseph will become Bruce Willis after aging,I went to China to live in seclusion and had a tragic love scene with Xu Qing . Xu Qing with "Summer Qing" in the subtitles is basically a small supporting role!
If Xu Qing changes to another foreign actress and moves from China to a foreign filming, it will be a matter of changing the script, which will not affect the plot trend, but now with such a filming, "Loop Messenger" meets the requirements of a co-production film! The production cost of 30 million U.S. dollars, if China invests 10 million U.S. dollars, it will not be a big company at all!
Just like the opening ceremony of the Toronto Film Festival on July 25 of the same year, the opening film "Loop Messenger" has been well received since its debut. Its unique "ring structure" and sci-fi texture are even more impressive. Known as " Inception in 2012", it is also a sound of praise on foreign fan websites, which is also a kind of publicity.
Some people say that this is a combination of " Terminator " and "Twelve Monkeys". Facts have proved that "Loop Messenger" is not as classic as "Terminator" and "Inception", but it is definitely a masterpiece of moral and entertaining traversing action.
Previously, , deputy director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Zhang Pimin, pointed out in a seminar recently that China-US co-productions will be strictly reviewed in the future. According to relevant regulations, all co-production projects will be funded by the Chinese side. No less than 1/3, and there must be a Chinese actor in the main role, and shooting in China, "must meet all the conditions."
This speech by Zhang Pimin is considered to be a signal that will "strike hard" on illegal Sino-US co-productions. After all, " The Expendables 2 ", which was in theaters in early September, only accounted for 10% of the total investment due to the 8 million US dollars invested by the Chinese side.And it was not set in China, and finally entered the mainland as an imported film, instead of co-production.
Then, no one thought that "Loop Messenger" directly rushed into the National Day gear, it was still a co-production film in a proper way.
But "Loop Messenger" is not a complete version, the mainland directly deleted 8 minutes, which involved female nudity and violent bloody scenes, plus it became "Inception" and "Terminator", the second half Duan is too slow!
So many people have seen it in the theater, and they are not so satisfied. Some people even can't understand the meaning.
"Dangerous Relations", "Tongjak Terrace", "Double Exposure", "Loop Messenger" and other Chinese and foreign films at the same time gather in National Day files, all want to hit the championship throne, this is probably "Tai Chi" producer Chen Guofu_ span14span Unexpectedly. After all, he used the "empty city plan" at the press conference to show off that he was a champion at the box office every National Day, and he shouted: "Everyone, change the time period"!
In the end, " Tai Chi 1 from scratch " 150 million, "Tai Chi 2 Heroes Rise" exceeded 100 million, the two films lost more than 100 million box office, and the word-of-mouth was messed up and became a ridiculous negative in the industry. Case.
Afterwards, Huayi Brothers vice president Wang Zhonglei bombarded the "Loop Messenger" without announcing the schedule, and dropped directly into the National Day stall, taking a market share of more than a billion words at the box office. Zhong looked angry and very dissatisfied.
and has participated in the co-production of "The Expendables 2" and " Great Wall" senior producer Zhang Zhao objectively summarized: "It is definitely wrong for "Circle Messenger" not to announce the schedule in advance, but the people have to buy tickets by themselves. The choice, the box office of more than 100 million yuan is not grabbed. Chinese film parties should think more about their own problems when competing."
So the reputation of "Tai Chi 1" is much worse.Why do you have the ability to win the National Day box office championship with "Ring Messenger"? What are the shady facts in this embarrassing fact that you can't make a loss but can win the championship?
movie box office masters have analyzed the reason: " Huayi has held many conferences and marketing activities in advance, which is very deceptive to the common people; Peng Yuyan, Yang Ying, Feng Shaofeng They are all rising stars, making the lineup very popular; a National Day movie, which was promoted by a poster on the Guomao Subway on May 1st; and pseudo 3D, which grabbed the lobby and greatly increased the ticket price!"
On the other hand, the National Day box office runner-up "Loop Messenger" has a good reputation and used 30 million US dollars to invest steadily to win, and the world won 176 million US dollars in box office. The director of Ryan Johnson has since filmed a "Star Wars" and a detective film " Blade Out", he participated in the phenomenon-level American drama " Breaking Bad", all made crazy NS! He also reported that he was going to shoot the American drama version of " three-body "...
It turns out that in the film industry, it is definitely not a one-shot deal. As long as the director has strong operational skills, he will finally have the last laugh!
However, the castrated co-production film "Loop Messenger" broke into the National Day file. At that time, everyone thought it was a starting point, and imagined that more Chinese and foreign co-productions would enter the National Day file in the future.
Knowing that nine years have passed, we discovered that "Loop Messenger" is not only a starting point for a breakthrough in the "domestic film protection month", but it is also a short-lived end.
After all, there are rumors,At that time, the bosses of several major mainland film companies lost money during the period of "Loop Messenger", and they all went to the Film Bureau to complain and complain, and the leaders did not want the total box office of foreign films to be higher, so that the National Day file continued to become a "domestic film protection month"! Since then, no Chinese and foreign co-produced blockbuster has rushed into the National Day file!
The co-production founder Zhang Zhao, who introduced " Astro Boy" and "The Expendables 2" to "Dancing with Wolves", has died young; DMG has passed away because of the introduction of "". Foreign films such as "" and "" have lost money. In addition, the stocks have been terminated by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange due to poor performance in recent years. There has also been no movement of Sino-US co-productions for a long time!
Back in the movie "The Ring Messenger", the heroine child has super powers but doesn't know how to control it. She accidentally killed her aunt when she was a child. Later, after her mother was killed by the "Circle Messenger", the child grew up. It becomes an evil gangster, meaning that if some powerful people go astray, they will be infinitely poisonous!
The heroine of "The Ring Messenger" can use her mother's love to prevent children who do not understand power from causing disasters, and the hero can use suicide to prevent her children from deteriorating in the future, and evil forces will not breed wantonly ...
So some people can't help but ask where is the next co-produced blockbuster that breaks into the National Day gear and can grab market share? Who can change the current situation? I am afraid that this question can only be answered by history!
