Huayu 1997 Volume 523 "Three Kingdoms¡¤Chibi" was released, breaking the box office record on the first day July 2008
Breaking away from the haze of the previous two months, it slowly returned to normal, and even became more heated due to the approach of the Beijing Olympics.
In the past two months, entertainment, which has been stopped or low-keyed one after another, has also begun to gradually recover.
TV dramas are still worse. The Olympic Games will be broadcast soon, which will inevitably squeeze a large number of ratings market. No matter how hard-headed TV drama producers are, they don¡¯t think their TV dramas can compete with the Olympic Games at their doorstep.
So in addition to talking about a few new dramas, this year's summer vacation is more about reruns of old dramas.
"Journey to the West" and "Returning the Pearl and Princess" made a strong attack, and the star dramas were even more brilliant.
"Youth Bao Youth", "Wulin Biography", "Bright Sword", "Yi Tian Shou Long Ji", "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Detective Di Renjie", "Princess Diao Man", "Beauty's Scheming", "Soldier Assault" and many other popular TV series produced by or participated in the production of many stars, Active in various David TV and local stations.
? At its peak, star dramas can directly affect more than 65% of the audience in front of the TV, and they are undoubtedly the overlord of the mainland TV field.
A few years later, even if the company Fanxing is gone, these Fanxing dramas that have left countless good memories for everyone will still remain in everyone's hearts
?Compared to the indifference of TV dramas, there is still some improvement in movies. The much-anticipated "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" has made a strong debut in the summer.
In fact, at the beginning of the film's release, Fanxing and China Film also thought about whether to avoid the Beijing Olympics.
However, I still chose to release it in late July. On the one hand, it is not too close to May, but it cannot be separated from the summer vacation. Mid-to-early August coincides with the Beijing Olympic Games. month's advance.
Released in the summer, it is difficult to completely break away from the shadow of the Olympics, but then again, the Olympics does not mean everything.
The world will not revolve around a person, nor will it revolve around this matter.
No matter how popular the Olympic Games are, it is impossible to steal everyone's attention.
Movie screenings and the Olympics are completely two concepts, and they can also be separated. Watching the Olympics does not hinder going out to watch a movie, and the release of a movie will not hinder everyone from watching the Olympics.
Except for the few days of the opening ceremony, which may be overwhelmed by the heat, at other times, the overall impact of the Olympic Games on the movie box office is not as heavy as imagined.
To put it bluntly, except for some events, most people just watch the Olympics for fun.
This year, because it is held in China, its influence is unprecedented. In normal times, the impact of the Olympic Games on film and television is actually extremely limited.
In addition, there is another thing that "Three Kingdoms: Chibi" was released simultaneously in Japan and other places.
The release time in Japan, South Korea and other places has already been set on July 16. The domestic side has been delayed for a few days, and if it is further delayed, pirated versions will steal the limelight.
Do not underestimate the ability of these pirates. It is not difficult for them to translate Japanese into Chinese. Awesome pirates can even have professional voice actors to re-dub a voice to sell.
Piracy looks inconspicuous, but if it really wants to play a role, it can easily kill a big production.
Therefore, even if "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" is released at this time, there may be some other disadvantages, nothing more than soldiers coming to block it, and water coming to cover it.
At the same time, due to the dual pressure of the Olympic Games and "Three Kingdoms: Chibi", the major theaters chose to retreat.
The only thing worth mentioning in July is the Hollywood imported film "National Superman Hancock" played by Will Smith.
In August, it will be Marvel's "The Incredible Hulk" and the comedy "Nine Perfects" directed by Wang Yuelun.
There are also some other movies, but basically there is nothing to talk about, and even few of them go to theaters, and more of them go to TV channels.
However, of the above three films, the one that is really worth mentioning is "National Superman Hancock".
"Perfect and Nine Beauties" is a small-budget comedy film with a limited upper limit of potential. Not all comedy directors are Ning Hao, and it is considered a good achievement if it can earn tens of millions.
"The Incredible Hulk" is a Hollywood blockbuster, and it is the second movie released by Marvel after the hit "Iron Man" in May.
The result can't be said to be a blood loss, but the box office in North America in June is indeed hard to say that it was satisfactory.
Especially compared to the super high income of "Iron Man", it is simply unbearable to look directly at.
Even Cao Xuan, who is a shareholder, couldn't help but sent an email to the board of directors to inquire, and had a wave of presence.
Of course, this movie is not actually a Marvel family, Universal also has one.The feeling of sympathy and sympathy is the same for Zhuge Liang.
?The two sides worked together and finally persuaded Soochow and Liu Bei to form an alliance to fight against Cao together.
Afterwards, it was time to sacrifice the flag and pay homage to the generals. Zhou Yu was called the commander of the coalition forces. The coalition forces used Liu Bei and Dongwu troops to fight Cao Jun in land and water battles, and the coalition forces won for the first time.
In particular, Zhou Yu personally commanded the water battle, if it weren't for Soochow's small power, it would have almost approached Cao Cao's handsome ship.
After a big battle, Cao Cao felt that he was not enough to fight in the water, so he practiced the water army day and night.
And Zhou Yu also felt that Cai Mao and others accepted by Cao Cao had been in Jingzhou for a long time, and they were considered veterans of water warfare. They were not a small threat and should be removed early to further weaken Cao Jun's water warfare capabilities.
The movie also officially ended at this place. It was just the end of a section of the plot, so that the audience would not scold their mothers. At the same time, they buried buttons to attract everyone to watch the next part.
The audience at the premiere ceremony applauded, but Cao Xuan himself was a little dissatisfied.
To be honest, compared with the lower part of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff", the upper part does have less commercial highlights, except for Zhao and Zhang at the beginning, and the latter two battles are still interesting.
In terms of literary and drama, Cao Xuan thinks he's doing a good job.
Regardless of whether it was a verbal battle against the Confucian scholars, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's several confrontations, or Zhou Yu's and Sun Quan's rivalry, Cao Ying's calculations were quite standard.
But this kind of literary drama is more or less too much for a commercial film. The rhythm of the whole movie is not procrastinated, but it is also a bit flat.
However, there is no way to do this. There is too much information about the Chibi War. Cutting it into two movies is already the limit. Compressing one movie is too much.
As a war film, the strategies and decisive battles of both sides are in the lower part, and sacrifices in the upper part are inevitable.
For Cao Xuan personally, this movie can barely be regarded as unsatisfactory.
However, the reporters and film critics who asked questions at the scene were quite positive, and the follow-up film reviews were better than Cao Xuan expected.
Maybe it was because of the big productions of commercial costumes by famous directors before, but this movie is of above-standard quality in all aspects. Although it is not a surprise, it is enough to make everyone feel relieved.
To be honest, before that, everyone was afraid that Cao Xuan would screw up and follow in the footsteps of the others.
Looking at it now, there are not many big scenes in the upper part of "Three Kingdoms: Chibi", but they are quite exciting, and the literary dramas are also quite emotional. The overall quality can be scored 7.5~8.2 points.
Especially when it is set off by other blockbusters, the score can be extra +0.5 points.
Cao Xuan, who was already prepared to be scolded, didn't know whether he should be lucky or sad.
Compared with the relatively upper-middle film reputation, the box office of "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" is the most reassuring existence for Cao Xuan.
It coincides with Sunday, which is the peak period of the box office, and "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" hit the box office of 27 million in one breath.
? Surpassed "Painted Skin" and set a new box office record for Chinese-language films on the first day ?

This movie is almost the most laborious movie I have ever written. When I first wrote and shot it, I realized that I wrote the wrong theme. The originality is not pleasing, and there are too few unoriginal highlights.
In this chapter, I wrote more than 4,000 words of the plot, and then deleted more than half of it. On the one hand, it is the plot that everyone knows. generally
The number of words in this piece is less, and it will be completed tomorrow
