rising director

To be honest, Wan Xiaohu likes Zhou Xingchi very much, this is his idol when he was a student.

It's just a pity that the current Chinese market is so big, and everyone wants to grab the Lunar New Year stalls, and competition between them is inevitable.The scheduling and release of the film are all discussed and arranged by several companies, and Wan Xiaohu seldom interferes.

But because he is innocent, that doesn't mean others will believe him.

Especially seeing that Dandelion is going to make a fortune again this year, the envious people can't stand it anymore.

"Who is killing the market order of Chinese films? "Wanted" has become a veritable 'movie bully', with more than 50% of the film schedule! Big directors have monopolized the theaters, so where will the newcomers go?"

The "Beijing News" took the lead in making a chapter in the number of films scheduled.Elicited the echo of many experts in the media.

"We are now talking about marketization, and the market also needs a sound system. There has never been such a monopoly film arrangement in Europe and the United States. From Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" to Wan Xiaohu's "Wanted" , this bad habit will bring down the entire market!" An expert who specializes in film studies.The first time to choke on the media.

"Chinese film is like a patient with a tumor. After becoming famous, the director relies on the advantages of film scheduling to suck blood crazily. They are a cancer of the market order and should be eliminated! Radio and television should introduce new policies to ensure the rationality of the film scheduling system. !"

"If you don't give newcomers a chance to make their debut, there will be no chance for Chinese films to make their debut, and there will be a lot of problems in film scheduling."

Seeing that there are many people in their early years, Dandelion is also chatting happily.In the mainland, the movie is becoming more and more popular.

Therefore, Dandelion issued a very serious response on the official website established on mme time.com: "Recently, "Wanted Order" has been breaking the box office records of Chinese films every day, and because of this, it has offended the interests of many people. It involves monopoly. In this regard, our company would like to respond on behalf of the producers and distributors."

First, "Wanted Order" is the Chinese-language film directed by Wan Xiaohu with the largest investment, and it has always been the most anticipated Chinese-language film by the audience.The movie tickets for the first day and the next day of the public screening on the Internet have been pre-sold out very early.It proves that the audience has a great demand for watching movies.

Second, "Wanted" broke through [-] million US dollars in ten days in North America, which is a new record for a Chinese-language film. At the same time, it has won the Global Weekly Championship for two consecutive weeks, which adds to the charm of the film.

Third, the account sharing model of "Wanted Warrant" in the Mainland.It is a record-high 45% share. In theory, theaters and theaters are at a disadvantage, but theaters would rather expand the scale of "Wanted" than cut some movies with huge profit margins. This is worth pondering.

fourth. The strategic positioning of "Wanted" from the beginning was to obtain overseas box office, and did not adopt any methods such as kickbacks, profit sharing, public relations, bribery, etc. in the mainland to ensure the number of film releases.

In summary, the criticism that "Wanted" has monopolized the number of films scheduled in the mainland is really a rumor, and everything is the spontaneous behavior of the theater chain and the theater.Dandelion is a film company with professional ethics, a sense of social responsibility, and noble patriotic sentiments. Dandelion’s contracted director, Wan Xiaohu, is also an activist committed to promoting the internationalization of Chinese-language films. The following is the personal statement of director Wan Xiaohu.

"To everyone who cares about Chinese movies, hello."

The development of Chinese films has always been one of our greatest concerns. Only when Chinese films develop and grow can Chinese filmmakers benefit the most.Regarding the recent film schedule of "Wanted", I personally do not support the behavior of theaters and theaters. As some people have said, the problem of film scheduling will lead to many disadvantages.

Our country also urgently needs a more reasonable film scheduling system to encourage and support newcomers, protect the interests of producers, and provide maximum protection for the sustainable development of Chinese films.

But we must also see the current difficulty, that is, the number of people willing to go to the cinema to watch movies is still very small.We have a population of 13 billion, and it is indisputable that the movie market will be prosperous in the future.It just takes a long time to get to this point.

The problem is that now, the number of moviegoers is small, the consumption of beverages and snacks in theaters is less, and no additional profits can be obtained. It is difficult for movie theaters to maintain high equipment maintenance costs and higher and higher costs only by relying on revenue from ticket prices. rent.Once the movie tickets cannot be sold, the theater will generate huge losses.

This is the fundamental reason why the theaters still need to expand the scale of the film schedule for the highest level of 45% of "Wanted".It's not my bragging rights, but for a screening of "Wanted", the theater can have an attendance rate as high as 95%, and it will be even higher during prime time.The more people buy tickets, the more theaters earn.And showing an ordinary movie, even in prime time, may not have a 50% attendance rate.

Those who know how to settle accounts will know at a glance that the theater will choose how to arrange the screening.

So, I think it is unreasonable to ask for such a perfect system immediately in the initial stage of our film market.What we need to do are two things, one thing is to work together to make the cake bigger and stronger.Divide the cake to divide more.The second thing is that filmmakers strengthen the quality of movies, and the cruel system will help us to keep the chaff and the chaff. The higher the quality of the movie, the more attractive it will be to the audience.

Think about it, everyone. Is this the truth?

Finally, I released a long-prepared plan. In April this year, I talked with Hua Tsai about the difficulties of new directors entering the industry.It was decided that Dandelion and I would take the lead to set up a "Chinese New Star Director Project". The participating parties are major film companies and filmmakers. It is planned to spend [-] to [-] million yuan to invest in new directors to shoot [-] Chinese-language films within five years.

This plan has already received the support of many film companies and hundreds of big stars and directors, and it is likely to be launched next year, so stay tuned.

"January 2005, 1. Wan Xiaohu, in Santa Monica."

Dandelion's response and Wan Xiaohu's statement suddenly reversed the direction of the continuous upsurge of condemnation, and more filmmakers began to ponder whether it was the unreasonable scheduling of films that harmed Chinese films, or the production of a large number of rubbish films that harmed Chinese films. bigger.

There is no doubt that trash movies are inevitable.Hollywood also produces hundreds of crap movies every year, but Hollywood still produces hundreds of good movies every year.These good movies are reason enough to go to the cinema every time they come out.The small base of Chinese films highlights the quality of domestic films, which are very rubbish. In recent years, many viewers have said that they will never watch domestic films.

You let such a movie increase the number of films.You not only poisoned the theaters, you also poisoned the audience.

Chinese films in their infancy should need more good films to drive them.

It's rare that a "Wanted" can attract audiences, should we support it and rely on such a blockbuster movie?To reverse the audience's impression of inferior and ugly domestic films?

Reversing the direction, coupled with the generous Chinese-language new star director plan, instantly promoted Dandelion from a movie bully to a savior of Chinese movies.

90 to [-] million, which is almost equivalent to the total box office revenue of the domestic film market for a year. It is conceivable that even if it has a [-]% failure rate, it can train at least a dozen new directors.The market is supported by directors, and this is of great significance to the promotion of Chinese films.

"Dandelion is doing great, Mr. Hu and Andy are doing great!" Many netizens left messages of support.

That's it, public opinion turned to Dandelion one after another, and the box office turned to "Wanted".

From January 2005th to 1th, 7, the box office for the three-day weekend in North America was released again.Audiences in the United States like to go to the movies on weekends, and Friday night is the weekend for them.Therefore, the box office is customarily announced on Friday, July, and three days, and a total box office.

As a commercial film, as a special effects blockbuster, the box office trend of "Wanted" is destined to be a straight downward trend.

The first weekend was 6540 million U.S. dollars, the second weekend was 3810 million U.S. dollars, and this weekend was only 1735 million U.S. dollars, ranking third after "Meet Your Father-in-Law 2" and "Ghost Signal 2: White Light". Of course, this is an acceptable normal decline rate.

As of the end of this week, the cumulative box office in North America was 15780 million US dollars.

"This year's Christmas file is full of dark horses, and "Wanted" has shown the world a new fantasy of action movies!"

"Jessica Alba was featured on the cover of "Empire" magazine, and became a new national idol with "Wanted"."

"Supernova Wan Xiaohu rises, and "Wanted" sweeps the world."

Mtime.com released box office data for the second time on Wednesday.

This week's box office is 10700 million, and the total box office is 3.59 million yuan, becoming the fastest record in the history of mainland movies to break [-] million yuan! Breaking "Titanic" Is the moment of the RMB [-] million record coming?"

"Wesley, do you feel that your adrenaline is increasing and your heart is about to burst? This is your talent!"

Thump, thump, thump.

The camera shakes like a heartbeat, and the opponent strangles Chen Kun's neck from behind, making him blush and panting, but he can't break free.At this time, Chen Kun suddenly bent his legs, grasping the opponent's arm with both hands, like swinging on a swing, stretched his legs forward, and pulled back strongly with the help of the falling rippling force.

Sliding down from the opponent's crotch, threw the opponent on his back, and broke free naturally.

Then a carp stood up straight, jumped high, and threw its left leg out.The opponent also got up and was about to block, but Chen Kun suddenly changed his posture, dropped his right leg high, and put it on the opponent's chest.

The whole movement is smooth and smooth, and it is very enjoyable to watch. The whole movie theater is stunned by this set of movements.

"When will Chen Kun be able to fight like this?"

"It should be a stand-in plus special effects."
