Disaster Artist

Chapter 203: preemptive

The sky is blue as a wash, with a few clouds floating lazily, like cotton candy, that layer of light golden sunlight is applied like honey syrup, and looking up makes people want to enjoy a little breakfast, otherwise I missed such a beautiful morning.

The warm breeze was blowing in my face, I closed my eyes for a while, and I fell asleep before I knew it. The weather made it hard to believe that it was already winter. Looking at the November page on the calendar, it was completely crossed out. It's officially December, but there is still no sense of reality in the body.

Lanchuan is always like this. Autumn stays for a short time and is fleeting. Before you have time to enjoy it, it has already strode into winter, but even in winter, you can still feel the laziness and warmth of late spring, which can be seen everywhere. The vitality is completely without the cold and bleakness of winter.

It seems that it was September yesterday, and as soon as I opened my eyes, it was already December, and the warm-up winter season was officially kicked off.

On the first day of December, Liuguang Pictures took the lead, and "Boss Speeding" starring Fan Li shined!

In recent years, although action movies have gradually declined, and they are less and less seen in the summer season, no one can deny the appeal of action movies. Just like horror movies, there is always a group of fans, so the major movies The company has plans for action movies every year to meet market demand.

Among them, "Mission X" starring Fan Li is a well-deserved leader.

Initially, "Mission X" was just a B-level movie, with a production cost of only 30 million yuan. It aimed at street culture and used skateboards and parkour to break out of the siege. A sequel that wasn't planned and turned into a trilogy.

score?

In fact, it can only be said that the scale of investment is between 30 million and 50 million, while the movie box office remains at around 300 million, and it shows a steady downward trend. Even so, it is still possible to make a small profit. So Qiyang Media continued happily.

As expected of Qiyang Media.

Originally, after the "Mission X" trilogy ended, it had reached a dead end, and there was no need to continue filming, but Qiyang Media was different, they refused to give up this "cost-effective series", always thinking about being able to To dig out the remaining value, the fourth part of the series was forcibly opened.

This time, in addition to Fan Li, they also introduced another sunny and handsome actor Jiang Yifan, ready to use "brotherhood" to attract attention.

The result...it was a success!

"Mission X 4" with an investment of "up to" 90 million yuan was very popular, and the box office reached 1.8 billion yuan in one fell swoop. The media are very satisfied with this situation.

As of now, the sixth film of "Mission X" has been filmed, and the box office performance is still rising steadily, one is higher than the other, and it has become a typical representative of action movies in the new era. "Mission X 6 was released in March last year. "It has achieved an excellent box office of 3.3 billion, once again proving that action movies still have a market.

The only problem is the lack of good action movies.

Thanks to this, Fan Li and Jiang Yifan have grown into the top action stars in the industry.

But for Fan Li, he wanted more than that.

"Mission X" is becoming more and more successful, which is a good thing, but many people believe that Jiang Yifan's contribution to the vitality of the series of films is more, not only the professionals in the industry and the audience, but also Fan Li himself. self-doubt.

However, "If it wasn't for me, this series wouldn't last until the third installment, and it wouldn't even have been born in the first place!"

This is Fan Li's idea.

However, Fan Li couldn't tell how bitter he was. He still hoped that the "Mission X" series would continue, but he also hoped that people could see his importance, so the only way for him to prove himself was to start anew.

He misses the years when he was the leader, and he also wants to prove that he can single-handedly the box office, so the "boss speeding" of the streamer film industry appeared.

"Boss Speeding" is not only an action movie, but also a comedy movie. More importantly, just like the title, it is also a drag racing movie. Almost all the keywords are in line with the expectations of the current "hot style". Fan Li is right. The prospect of the work has great expectations.

But insiders are mainly divided into two views.

One point of view is that the movie is worth looking forward to, otherwise the streamer film industry would not use this movie to snipe the "raid", it must be because they believe that "boss overspeed" can win the market's love.

One point of view is that the movie is an abandoned child, and the streamer film industry did not carefully arrange the schedule and publicity plan, and used it to contain the "raid" casually. "Being able to snipe opponents is just the interference effect of a smoke bomb.

The above two views are the mainstream, and there is another view that is relatively objective.

They think that "boss speeding" has nothing to do with "raid". Why should Streamer Films work hard to snipe a fledgling director who has not yet established a firm foothold? The two films should be viewed independently, so Streamer Films chose the winter season and gave up the opportunity to hit the summer season. From this move, it can be seen that there is still some reservations about the quality of the finished product of "Boss Overspeed".

In any case, with Fan Li as the starring role, the attention of "Boss Overspeeding" has always been high, and it has become the focus of the industry after it is officially set.

Moreover, it doesn't matter whether Streamer Films intends to target Blue Whale Films, because "Boss Overspeed" and "Raid" chose to land in cinemas in the same week, which also means that the two films will collide head-on, starting from the premiere, The battle has already started, and "Boss Overdrive" preempts it.

Waiting, waiting, "Boss Overdrive" finally makes its debut!

December 1st ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Monday, "Boss Over Speeding" had its grand premiere at the Xia Qiao Cinema on Boxi Avenue! Aggressive!

Xia Qiao Cinema, one of the three remaining independent cinemas on Boxi Avenue, is a little older than the Dome Cinema, and it is one of the first cinemas born in Lanchuan.

But unlike the Dome Cinema, in the first wave of the film industry, Xia Qiao Cinema was sold and acquired by a film company. The name also changed, and it became a commercial theater. , and after changing hands twice, it can be said that the fate is ill-fated.

Now, from the name of the theater, it can be seen that it belongs to Xia Qiao, the world's largest camera company, and the name of the theater is the best advertisement.

Even so, it is not all bad. Xia Qiao Cinema has undergone many renovations and adjustments in the past half a century, and it still retains its magnificent appearance. It is precisely because of this that the Be the most coveted premiere destination of all movies.

Of course, it is not just that any movie can have its premiere at the Xia Qiao Cinema. After all, the cost is a lot of money.
