Chapter 745 "The Mermaid" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival!'Zhou Xingchi's new film is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival again!'
A piece of news soon emerged that "The Mermaid", which shocked netizens last time and had an unparalleled production lineup, was finally scheduled after more than a year.
Just this year's Spring Festival.
Several major co-producers and distributors announced the news together.
This grand work will finally be unveiled in front of the audience.
Several major producers and distributors were too lazy to get together.
China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group and others sent people here, as did Light Year Pictures and Bona Films.
More than a dozen companies gathered together to discuss the matter, and this work was destined not to be simple.
If we work together, the box office can be increased in all aspects.
Li Xiaoping sat at the table and didn't say much, mainly listening to their discussion.
After it was over, she returned to the company and started arranging the publicity and promotion.
More than a dozen companies have joined forces, and news about the movie has flooded the internet. News about the movie can be seen everywhere in real stations, subways, and the Internet.
The movie has not been released yet, but news about the movie has repeatedly become a hot topic!
In addition, there is the money-making work "From Vegas to Macau 3" and the "Journey to the West" theme which has been almost played out.
They made another movie called "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 3 Defeats the White Bone Demon" and even invited Gong Li to play the role of the White Bone Demon.
Each one is a star-studded blockbuster with hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.
Today’s Spring Festival period is much more lively than other periods!
Chen An recently found a new hobby, fishing, but unfortunately it is difficult to go out due to the heavy snow in Beijing.
The room was heated and extremely warm, so he huddled inside.
He has watched the snow in the capital for more than ten years, but he no longer likes it as much as he did before. He has long been accustomed to it.
Just take a glance occasionally and appreciate its charm.
It was white outside and the house was full of heat.
The children were playing and fighting, and two old people were protecting them on the side, smiling and looking particularly leisurely.
Yu Jinghong was browsing Weibo with his tablet, clicking some operations, and then turned around and asked, "I can see the news about "The Mermaid" everywhere. How much did it cost?"
"I estimate it to be around 100 or 200 million."
Chen An didn't ask much and handed it to Li Xiaoping, but he inevitably saw the promotion when he was surfing the Internet and made a rough guess.
Yu Jinghong: "You are a good boss. If I were Mr. Li, I would have quit long ago."
She narrowed her eyes and glanced at Chen An in annoyance, as her boss knew nothing about anything he asked.
"There are too many people behind the scenes. I can't make much money, and I'm too lazy to ask." Chen An explained slowly.
It’s not like “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”, where the other party had a feud with Huayi.
More and more people started to participate in "The Mermaid", and with the support of several parties, although Guangnian got a share without spending any money, it was not much.
There is not much money to be made from the distribution, and the distribution on the other side is mainly for the benefit of the people.
Zeng Li made a cup of bird's nest and added some strange things to nourish her skin, and said casually: "The Spring Festival period is getting more and more lively now, and watching movies during the Spring Festival has become an activity."
Not to mention Beijing, some of his friends and relatives in his hometown are the same, and the children in their families are clamoring to go to the movies during the New Year.
It is far from comparable to the Lunar New Year box office.
Chen An: "Life is more affluent now than before, and the Spring Festival is also lively. It's a good time to rest after a busy year."
In the past, it was considered good to have some meat at home during the Chinese New Year.
Now the village doesn’t even feel like my home. I just listen to my mother talking about things in the village.
During the Chinese New Year, every household has a lot of fish and meat, but the children don’t like to eat them.
After more than a decade of economic development, the domestic situation cannot be said to have changed dramatically, but at least ordinary people can eat better meat without any problem.
Except for some poor counties or some special families that are still struggling on the poverty line.
Dad was lying in a rocking chair, rocking back and forth. "Life is better now. It's not like before. The main reason is that everyone has become richer." The boiling hot tea was steaming in the warm room.
Chen An put his mouth close to the cup and blew on it to dispel some of the heat.
"After the Chinese New Year, when the children are in school, your father and I will go back."
Mom was knitting yarn in her hands, planning to knit a small hat and a pair of gloves for each of the three little ones.
The little yellow dog brought back from home grew up gradually. It lay beside the two old people, staying quietly. The warm room made it drowsy.
The beautiful calico kitten was fat and had bright fur. It lay fat in Chen An's arms, wagging its little tail, looking very comfortable.
Children always want something on their own, and they may not like the pet they wanted so much after playing with it for a while.
Instead, Chen An was petting the cat.
"Got it. Do you want someone to take care of you two?"
Chen An was actually a little worried because he was old and his father was not around, and yet he insisted on going back to his hometown.
Dad waved his hand: "No need."
Okay, Chen An didn’t say anything more.
Not to mention the two elders, the family also needs to hire a few nannies. The three adults in the family cannot take care of three children of such an age.
When the three of them are free, they are free, and when they are busy, they are really busy.
In the early years of Chen An, it was common for him not to go home for several months.
The heavy snow and strong winds were hitting the glass, and the house was peaceful.
On January 1, "Mojin: The Lost Legend", which took a total of four weeks to produce, finally broke through the 14 billion box office!
This goal has been achieved before the delay key is used.
But the box office has already declined severely, and the subsequent delayed release will not actually have much effect. However, it’s money as long as it can be released.
As the snow melted in Beijing, Wanda Cinema held a celebration party for the movie.
Several leading actors were present.
Chen Kun and Huang Bo stole the show, and they both topped the domestic actor box office charts!
At the end of the banquet, the news that the movie had grossed over 2 billion was widely reported.
This is already the fifth domestic movie to break 2 billion!
In 2015, only three movies were released, and the top three in the annual box office list all broke billion box office!
It has only been three years since "Interstellar", the first movie to break 2 billion.
The prosperity of the market is visible to the naked eye.
Once a breakthrough is achieved, the movie will immediately follow up, with each section higher than the previous one.
Countless media outlets are already looking forward to the release of a movie that will gross over 3 billion like "Zootopia".
Of course, the domestic media are self-aware and don’t have high hopes for breaking the global box office record.
Currently, apart from Chen An’s movies, the highest record for Chinese-language films, "Monster Hunt", only had a global box office of million US dollars, which is not as good as "The Martian" in 05!
Moreover, 99% of the former’s box office revenue comes from the mainland market!
Apart from Chen An, the highest overseas record for Chinese-language films is still "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the millennium, followed by Zhang Yimou's "Hero" in 2002.
"A low location, yes, yes, yes, it's the angle that makes it look good."
Chen An directed Zeng Li to take pictures with her mobile phone.
Zeng Li fiddled with her iPhone and asked, "How about we use a different camera?"
The director who studied photography is so amazing that he even directed me to shoot a video. Doesn’t he know that taking photos with a mobile phone is a woman’s job?
Chen An was wearing a dark blue jacket, a light blue shirt, a pair of round-framed black sunglasses, and holding a few balloons in his hands.
"There's no need to be so serious. A cell phone is enough."
He seemed to have completely ignored the other party's complaint.
It took me two hours of shooting to finish the video.
"Hehe, you actually acted pretty well. It's a pity that I was filming a video, otherwise I could still act with you." Zeng Li said with some surprise.
Chen An raised his head to the sky and looked at people with his nose up. "Humph, even if I don't win the Palme d'Or as a director, I will win the Best Actor Award at Cannes. She doesn't have time, but it doesn't matter. I'll edit it and post it online later."
"Put your name in the director's column!"
