Chapter 311 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind!

Feng Xiaogang was ready to go and had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

As a representative figure of commercial film directors in China, he has never produced a movie that has grossed over 100 million yuan. After many revisions to the script, he finally got the chance to be released!
You can see movie promotions on the streets.

Superstar, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Andy Lau, partners with the popular Zeng Li!
It will be released nationwide on December 9th!
It created a hot movie-watching craze!

The production cost is the same as "If Love", which is over 30 million, but the performance is even more exciting!
After two weeks of release, it grossed eight thousand!
Broke Feng Xiaogang's box office record!
And breaking 100 million is just one step away!
On the afternoon of the next day, at Beijing Oriental New Century Cinema, the two CEOs of Huayi gathered directors, actors and media to hold a celebration banquet!
Chen An was also at the celebration party, so he was one of the investors after all.

On the red stage, Andy Lau opened a bottle of champagne while Feng Xiaogang next to him couldn't stop smiling!

One of the two films released by Andy Lau in the north this year, "House of Flying Daggers", received mixed reviews, but it is also the current box office champion. Now, "A World Without Thieves" has achieved both good reviews and box office success, and it is just around the corner to break 100 million!

He is undoubtedly the most successful one among those who have entered the business of moving north!
The two CEOs Huang were also very proud. Huang Zhonglei said to the media with a red face: "Recently, many media have said that the internal situation of our Huayi is worrying. Today I want to tell you that Huayi is still Huayi!"

"The original box office forecast was around 60 million, and now it's 80 million in two weeks. It's just around the corner to break 100 million. Huayi is as stable as a rock!"

The news of the internal discord at Huayi was revealed through Wang Jinghua's obviously unconcealed behavior.

Today, Huang Zhonglei took this opportunity to express that Huayi is still stable and it doesn’t matter whether the other party is there or not!
Feng Xiaogang was also very angry and finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "The schedule is too short, and it is still a mystery whether it will exceed 100 million. Our current box office is not too bad even if it is less than 100 million. I hope everyone can see the absolute ratio between our box office and other movies, but I think it should be based on the input-output ratio. As far as the investment in A World Without Thieves is concerned, I can say without shame: We won!"

This was considered a relief for him. He had nothing to say when Chen An was suppressing him. He was always in the lead.

Now he is being suppressed by Zhang Yimou, who started out making art films. It would be a lie to say he is not uncomfortable!

My investment of more than 30 million was able to exceed 100 million, while the other party's investment was hundreds of millions each time. It was nothing compared to Chen An's investment of 20 million to exceed 100 million, but I won this battle this year!

Chen An couldn't help laughing as he looked at Feng Xiaogang on the stage. He felt that he was under a lot of pressure in his life.

The opponent who originally dominated the Lunar New Year box office lost the title of King of the Lunar New Year box office because of my existence, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the current bustling domestic market is just the beginning.

The crew of "A World Without Thieves", which had just held a celebration party, welcomed its biggest rival!

The next day, December 23rd, "Kung Fu" was released simultaneously in Mainland China and Hong Kong!
This kick blew up the entire Lunar New Year box office!
This caused the box office of his movie "A World Without Thieves" to plummet!

This movie, invested and released by Columbia, became a nationwide hit as soon as it was released!
The new female lead Huang Shengyi, like Zeng Li, became famous overnight, although her popularity is not as high as that of "My Sassy Girl".

But compared to other actresses, it's no pressure to say that she has achieved success overnight!

The other supporting characters are also extremely popular.

I knew Zhou Xingchi was strong, but I didn’t expect him to be so strong!

Even Feng Xiaogang was stunned by Zhou Xingchi's movie, and the box office of his own movie was compressed to only more than 10 million!

This masterpiece by Stephen Chow swept the market!
Feng Xiaogang, who had just been complacent about setting a box office record of 80 million in two weeks this year, was dumbfounded.

The other party has earned over 100 million yuan at the box office in just two weeks!

It was only one step away from breaking Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" box office record of 150 million! Fortunately, my own film also successfully broke the 100 million mark!

This year's Lunar New Year box office was extremely lively. Without Chen An, Feng Xiaogang was still defeated by Zhou Xingchi.

Even the person who appeared on the show couldn't help but complain: "I was a little confused at the time. Andy Lau couldn't help but comfort me, saying that it was not shameful to lose to Stephen Chow. But sometimes I just can't help it. I made a cameo appearance in his movie and asked him to come over for a cameo appearance but he refused."

A small complaint has a different meaning in the eyes of the media.

Feng Xiaogang's cameo appearance at the beginning of the film was stunning, and the phrase "Who else!" became a hot word on the Internet.

The disputes gradually arose, and the civil war among some Hong Kong people that followed suit had some impact on the box office of "Kung Fu"!
This time even the people of Hong Kong Island are afraid. Zhou Xingchi is an outlier and is not on the same side as them. Now that the performance of "Kung Fu" is unstoppable, the conflict between the Xiang family and the other side is also obvious.

Chen An was very happy watching the movie. He had seen the 3D re-released version in his previous life, so it was nice to watch it again now.

And the bigger the noise you make, the better the performance of "A World Without Thieves" will be, and the better chance your own "Lost on Journey" will have!
After three weeks of release, "Kung Fu" successfully broke the box office record of "House of Flying Daggers" and is heading towards a box office of 160 million!

The Hong Kong Island market also broke his own record again, exceeding 60 million!
It can be said that he swept the entire Chinese-speaking market today!
However, while the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, on January 15th, Lightyear Media’s new film "Lost on Journey: Spring" was released as scheduled!
The person who was heavily promoted in the early stage was the new actor Wang Baoqiang who had shined in the Lunar New Year box office.

CCTV was inserted in the form of an advertisement, and the trailer showed Wang Baoqiang, or the Sha Gen in the audience's mind, standing in front of the station and drinking a whole can of milk in one gulp!

There are also a lot of visits and publicity. The production cost is less than 30 million, but the money has been given and cannot be wasted. The distribution costs are also included!

The production cost was just over 10 million, with the rest all used as distribution fees, plus some investment from Lightyear Media, so the publicity was overwhelming!
Emphasis was placed on promoting Wang Baoqiang's experience of rising from the grassroots, and during the promotion process he was made into a representative figure of the grassroots!

Lightyear Media’s powerful distribution capabilities allow the film to be released simultaneously on a large scale in Mainland China and Hong Kong!

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the festive atmosphere in China is gradually becoming stronger, and the atmosphere of the movie is just right.

The silly Sha Gen and the shrewd egoist Xu Guangtou's hilarious performances have once again set the market on fire!
On the day of its release, the box office revenue of five million was not impressive.

But the box office continued to increase instead of decrease, and the chaotic experience of the two people on their way home made people laugh until their stomachs hurt!

The box office grossed 40 million in the first week!
Today, Chen Wei has become completely famous in one battle, with one success after another, from "A World Without Thieves" to "Kung Fu" and then to "Lost on Journey: Spring", his momentum remains unabated, and Light Year Media has successfully taken over!
When the film was first released, Boss Xu called me directly and said, "Director Chen, isn't it too unfair for you to do this? You're bullying me!"

"What did I do to you?" Chen An drank his tea calmly without caring.

"I asked you to make a movie to promote her, but she only has a few scenes, and she's still a mistress. She filmed so many scenes back then, and I was still there to accompany her, and now she only has a few scenes?!"

"Calm down, Boss Xu. It's normal for scenes to be cut. Even a big star like Joey Wong can't escape it. Why don't you wait and see. I'll call you when the time comes!"

After saying that, Chen An hung up the phone and said, "Let's wait and see. My reputation as Chen An is well known in the circle."

You asked me to promote the clothing and I won an award. If I do it again, it will be mainly for the award and the box office. Although there are not many shots of the clothing promotion, you just ask if Boss Lin can open it, right?
The same goes for you. I hope you can still talk to yourself with this attitude when the time comes!
Boss Xu looked at his hung up call, his face turned pale, veins bulged on his right arm, and he threw the phone to the ground!

The phone fell to the ground, but was protected by the soft carpet and bounced back, breaking the screen of the TV in front of it!
Boss Xu: "Fuck! That's too much!"

These artists are so rude!
