Compared to Chen Hong, who is still in glory after divorce, Chen Kaige is still doing well!
After all, where is the halo of "The Promise" still lies, it has a box office of US$7.5 billion worldwide and has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
Chen Kaige is now famous at home and abroad. Even Ang Lee is going to be suppressed by him, let alone Zhang Yimou!
However, some historical trajectories are really difficult to change. Even though Chen Kaige's fame is unparalleled, he still lost to Zhang Yimou in his election as the director of the Olympics opening ceremony!
This time and space, just like that time and space, Zhang Yimou became the director of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics!
Of course, for Chen Kaige, who is at its peak, this small setback will not make him silent!
This year, the art blockbuster "Mei Lanfang" directed by him was released. This time, it can be said that it was a work he led!
With the global influence and box office results of "The Promise" in the world, he easily lost investment, and even an art film has lost investment of hundreds of millions!
In fact, before the filming of "Mei Lanfang" started last year, Chen Kaige found Chen Hao, hoping that the two of them could collaborate again and create new glory with this "Mei Lanfang"!
However, when Chen Hao heard that it was the movie "Mei Lanfang", he couldn't get interested at all. He directly turned it off on the grounds that the schedule was not correct!
There is no way. Chen Hao didn’t come to play the male lead, so he couldn’t stop filming. So Chen Kaige settled for the second best to find Li Ming, one of the four great kings in Hong Kong!
Don’t say what is second-best, because now Liming and Chen Hao are not comparable!Not to mention value, the influence of the entertainment industry alone is not at the same level!
Although the producer of this movie is no longer Chen Hong, Chen Kaige cannot devote himself to the filming, it doesn’t matter. If you can’t find Chen Hong as the producer, you can always find someone else!
The shooting started in the middle of last year, and after more than half a year of shooting, the shooting was finally over. Isn’t it just waiting for a good schedule to be released this year!
For the schedule of her new film, Chen Kaige specially contacted Liu Xiaoli not long ago, because everyone now knows that Longteng Media Group has the largest theater chain in China, so if the movie wants to be released, it is naturally inseparable from Longteng Media Group!
Although Huayi later realized it and began to establish theaters, it did not have that strong capital. Now the theaters under Huayi Brothers are just small-scale fights!
Longteng Media Group has its own theater chain, which can be said to be a unique advantage. First of all, it must be to meet the movies invested by its own company, and then consider movies from other film companies!
Last year, many movies invested by Hong Kong Longteng Film Company were released in mainland theaters under Longteng Media. The most eye-catching one was Director Wang Jing's Chase Dragon, which directly won 1.2 billion yuan in the mainland. Although it could not win the annual box office championship, it easily entered the top ten!
Speaking of which, Chen Hao directly occupied two seats in the annual box office champion in 2007. "Wushuang" was released in the mainland in early 2007, and directly won nearly 500 million yuan, almost twice as high as "Transformers", which ranked third!
The movie that ranked first in the domestic box office last year was naturally "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", which directly won a box office of 7.5 billion yuan!It's twice as high as "Transformers"!
So throughout last year, compared with the two movies starring Chen Hao, the box office of any other movie was pale in comparison!
Similarly, the box office of one movie is 500 million and the other movie is 7.5 billion. The box office of two movies has also allowed mainland film companies and investors to see the hope of the rise of mainland movies!
However, investment in domestic blockbusters is still on the verge of watching, and not everyone has the courage to invest in commercial blockbusters!
After all, there are some previous failure examples. After all, "Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang and "Seven Swords" directed by Tsui Hark are all bloody lessons!
Although investors all say that just selling overseas copyrights can make money back, everyone knows this kind of insider matter!
After all, not every movie is "The Promise", and not every movie has Chen Hao to be the male lead!
However, just last year, Huayi Brothers did not give up and joined forces with foreign companies to invest in another blockbuster film called "King Fu King"!
When Chen Hao heard the news last year, he knew that it was still the bad movie!
Moreover, this time and space are exactly the same as the original time and space. The male protagonists are invited by Jackie Chan and Jet Li, but the actor who plays the female lead Jin Yànzi has changed and has become Zhao Wei!
I have to say that Zhao Wei’s resources are really good. As for the white-haired witch, she has also changed from Li Bingbing to Zhang Ziyi!
Even the schedule for the release in the mainland has been set, which is scheduled for April 24 this year, and it has been a few days since it has been April 15 now!
Similarly, the blockbuster jointly invested by Hong Kong Longteng Film and Television and MGM Film Company is also scheduled to be released in April. Because the name "Kung Fu King" already has been named, Chen Hao changed the name of the movie he invested to "Kung Fu Dream"!
This script of "Kung Fu Dream" actually comes from "Kung Fu Panda" in another time and space!
In the script, this is a world where humans and monsters live in peace. Liu Yifei plays a kung fu girl raised by a fairy. Even the master who teaches him martial arts is a monster who becomes a raccoon!
In other words, there is no so-called monster setting in this movie. Monsters themselves can live in peace with humans, and monsters can also be found in two forms: humans and beasts!
In addition to these details, the plot of this movie is almost exactly the same as in "Kung Fu Panda". The Kung Fu girl Baoer played by Liu Yifei is actually Kung Fu Panda Abao!
Because of knowing that Huayi Brothers invested in the movie "Kung Fu King", Chen Hao almost abandoned all settings related to the King of Kung Fu in the new "Kung Fu Dream" movie, and even the elements of Journey to the West disappeared!
It is a live-action movie completely derived from "Kung Fu Panda"!
As for the copyright issue, there is no such thing as Chen Hao found the screenwriter of "Kung Fu Panda" as early as the beginning of last year and bought the script!
Moreover, Chen Hao has almost no change in the team filming "Kung Fu Dream". The director is still Mark Osborne, who filmed "Kung Fu Panda" in the original time and space. However, the producer has become Chen Hong and the overall costume design has become Li Jianqun. However, the entire costume design team is large, both at home and abroad, and Li Jianqun has the final say!
As for action guidance, Chen Hao invited Yuan Heping, who is known as the world's number one martial arts commander!
So, such a blockbuster, from casting to various staff members in front and behind the scenes, can be said to have achieved the ultimate goal!
Such a new "Kung Fu Dream" is not inferior to "Kung Fu King" starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li, but the only one who suffers is Jet Li. He plays the male lead in both movies and feels like he is fighting with himself!
"Kung Fu King" is scheduled to be released on April 24, and "Kung Fu Dream" is scheduled to be released on April 18!This front and back is a completely different posture!
After all, where is the halo of "The Promise" still lies, it has a box office of US$7.5 billion worldwide and has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!
