Chapter 888 "The Battle of the Cliffs and Mountains" (3/3)
Domestic film giant China Brothers Media spent nearly 400 million yuan to shoot the historical blockbuster "The Battle of Yashan".
This movie includes battles on the battlefield with tens of thousands of horses galloping, a brutal and bloody siege of a city by tens of thousands of people, and even a peerless battle in which hundreds of thousands of people jumped into the sea to die for their country - the Battle of Yashan.
According to media reports, in order to film the final naval battle alone, the director used a total of 100,000 extras in order to restore the true historical naval battle scene to the greatest extent possible.
The expenses for this alone cost more than 30 million Chinese dollars.
But this also shows the determination of China Brothers Media in order to make "Battle of Yashan" a success. In the past two years, the films released and produced by China Brothers Media have allowed the company to maintain a profitable momentum, but it has always been at the top of the box office rankings every year.
Nothing to do with them.
How can Brother Media, a giant in the Chinese film industry, tolerate this?
This time, the company spent huge sums of money to film this famous war in Chinese history, in order to regain their original position in the box office rankings and tell everyone through this film
Man, they, China Brothers Media, are still at the top of the Chinese film industry.
Not surprisingly, the scale of the premiere of "Yashan Battle" was much larger than that of Oriental DreamWorks' "Slaying the Wolf" a week ago.
All well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry were basically caught by China Brothers Media and all were invited to attend the premiere.
But this is also to be expected.
This epic historical war blockbuster has gathered too many big names, and every role is important.
Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie in the Song Dynasty, Kublai Khan, Zhang Hongfan and others in the Yuan Dynasty are all historical figures whose names have been passed down through the ages. If there are no stars with a certain status to play them, they really can't support such a big battle.
It can be said that at six o'clock in the evening, the movie theater where the premiere of "The Battle of Yashan" was held was already bright with stars, and celebrities and artists arrived one after another, and then walked on the red carpet.
Faced with such a grand occasion brought by China Brothers Media, many media reporters were also secretly dumbfounded. After all, it is an established giant. Its capabilities and connections over many years of operation are not comparable to those of ordinary film companies.
"Ah, I didn't expect that Teacher Cao Yajuan would also be here. She is my favorite actress!"
At home, Su Su was watching the live broadcast on her laptop, exclaiming from time to time when a certain celebrity arrived.
Yang Ming, who had rare free time today and was sitting on the sofa watching TV, heard Su Su's exclamation and immediately thought of Cao Yajuan, the actress who had won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actress!
It seems that China Brothers Media has really spent a lot of money this time.
Thinking of China Brothers Media, Yang Ming couldn't help but think of Shangguan Xueer, and wondered whether the father-daughter relationship between her and Shangguan Tian had eased.
However, he quickly put all this gossip behind him, and then asked Su Su: "Is there any news about "The Visitor from Beyond" on the Internet?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"It doesn't seem like it. I just took a look and Dimei and the others didn't hold a premiere in China." Su Su opened the homepages of several websites, but couldn't find any news about Dimei.
When Yang Ming heard this, he touched his chin and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
It seems that the giants in Hollywood have not completely paid attention to the movie box office market in China.
Think about the past life, when China became the second largest box office in the world, Hollywood would do anything to please the domestic audience. Well, its moral integrity was simply shattered.
But today it seems that the giants in Hollywood have not realized the importance of the Chinese film market.
However, Yang Ming estimates that this time is at least 5 years earlier than in the previous life, and it may be even earlier.
After all, the current vote bank of China is not limited to the mainland, but refers to the mainland of China, and refers to the East Asian Greater Chinese Cultural Region. This is much stronger than in previous lives.
In fact, Hollywood now feels that the box office market in the Greater China cultural region cannot be ignored, but they have not yet realized how important this box office will be to their future.
Or we can say, why in the previous life, Hollywood became more and more bold to play blockbusters that often cost more than 2.3 US dollars to produce. The box office in mainland China was very important. Sometimes, a Hollywood blockbuster hit the streets in North America, even wearing pants.
He lost, but in China he not only recovered the production cost, but also made a small profit.
This shows the importance of the Chinese film market to Hollywood.
In the previous life this was one-sided, but in this life Yang Ming wants to make it mutual.
This time, although Dimei's "The Visitor" did some pre-release publicity in China, there was no other action except these. I don't know if they definitely think that their movie will be a hit, or they feel that there is no need to
Is energy wasted in China?
Of course, Yang Ming would not run over to remind the other person kindly. He is now worried about how much the two movies will squeeze the box office data of "Slaying the Wolf".
Whether it's "The Battle at Yashan" or "The Visitor", the production cost of these two movies is much higher than that of "Slaying the Wolf". Especially for "Battle at Yashan", China Brothers Media has to do both film shooting and promotion.
, that’s all a waste of money.
It is expected that the box office of "Slaying the Wolf" will be affected, but Yang Ming is a little worried about whether the impact is big or small.
Fortunately, these three movies are not of the same type, and there are still certain differences in the audiences, which makes him feel a little more relaxed.
Just when he was thinking about this, Su Su sat over with a notebook and said casually: "Yang Ming, do you think it is necessary for China Brothers Media to recruit so many stars to make a movie?"
Jump word.
To be honest, the cast of China Brothers Media's "Yashan Sea Battle" this time is indeed a bit unbelievable. Although there is no one who stands silently and is a well-known artist in the entertainment industry, it is almost there.
From the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty to the empress dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty, to the ministers, prime ministers and generals, they are all famous celebrities in the entertainment industry.
In the history of Chinese movies, in terms of cast alone, apart from a few special movies, there really is no movie with a better cast than "The Battle of Yashan".
Yang Ming heard Su Su's words, thought about it seriously and said: "I think it is still necessary. This "Yashan Sea Battle" is not only a big-production and big-investment movie, but also a depiction of Chinese history. If it cannot be fully
To photograph this period of history as faithfully as possible would be a blasphemy against Chinese history."
The history of every nation and every country is extremely sacred and glorious. If it cannot be photographed perfectly, it will inevitably be criticized and criticized from all sides.
China Brothers Media is right on this point.
