My house collapsed from the top, and the system just came?

It is impossible to say that I am not confused.

Kung Fu movies, the first impression in many people's minds is: thrilling, exciting, and passionate.

For example, Wang Mo's last movie "Fist of Heroes" is a typical example. Why can it become a textbook for kung fu movies? It's because the protagonist's kung fu is so superb that the whole fight is so classic that even professionals admire it.

A punch and a kick.

One move at a time.

They all fully display the beauty of Chinese Kung Fu.

It makes people yearn for it and make their blood boil.

It shows the spirit of Chinese Kung Fu and martial arts in the minds of many people, and it has become a classic.

Therefore, in everyone's inherent impression, movies like "Fist of Heroes" are authentic kung fu movies.

When everyone knew that Wang Mo was filming a second movie called "Kung Fu", they had strong expectations for this movie.

Think about it, "Fist of Heroes" is already such a classic.

Then "Kung Fu" can't go to heaven?

And according to industry insiders: The copyright of "Fist of Heroes" originally belonged to Wang Mo, but in order to film "Kung Fu", Wang Mo sold the copyright of "Fist of Heroes" to the company at a low price.

Giving up a big IP like "Fist of Heroes" and shooting "Kung Fu" will definitely give you more confidence in it and make you more confident to make a classic that surpasses "Fist of Heroes".

Therefore.

Therefore, many movie fans are looking forward to "Kung Fu".

"Definitely an explosive kung fu masterpiece."

"But "Fist of Heroes" is already a classic enough. How can we shoot it to surpass it?"

"We have to believe in Brother Mo's ability. Although we can't guess it, Brother Mo can definitely do it."

"Wang Mo can't do it, only we can't guess it."

"..."

But now, everyone knows that "Kung Fu" is actually a comedy.

moment.

The entire internet was in shock.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Kung Fu movies can’t have funny content. In fact, many Kung Fu movies now have high school plots, which can make exciting movies more relaxed and humorous.

For example: Almost all of Cheng Long's kung fu movies contain funny moments that make people laugh.

However, simple funny clips are still not comparable to serious comedies.

The difference between the two is huge.

The core content is different.

"No, how could it be a comedy?"

"Am I really not wrong?"

"Can kung fu and comedy go hand in hand?"

"Brother Mo, don't mess around."

That's when.

As the poster of the "Kung Fu" crew was released, an even more shocking news came out.

Because in the poster, the protagonist wearing a suit, holding his hands on his chest, and with sharp eyes is clearly not Hao Mingxing, nor any movie star that fans are familiar with, but a strange young man they have never seen before.

It reads below:

Starring: Zhong An.

This is... the protagonist of the movie?

Zhong An?

Who?

But this time, the Internet finally couldn't calm down and caused a huge wave.

"Isn't it right? Even if Wang Mo is filming a comedy, the protagonist is still a newcomer?"

"Who is Zhong An? He's not some 18th-tier star, is he?"

"Upstairs, you think too much. You are not even as good as an 18th-tier star. I just checked and found out that this Zhong Anchun is a newcomer who previously played a small role."

"The protagonist of the last movie "Fist of Heroes" was also Hao Mingxing. Although Hao Mingxing was not an actor at the time, he was already a first-line singer. But what the hell is this Zhong An!"

"Oh my God! Wang Mo is playing with fire!"

"..."

A senior fan: "There is no need to use a newcomer, right? It's a bit ridiculous. With Wang Mo's status in the entertainment industry, what kind of comedian does he need? Even the top comedian can be called upon. Is it? To save remuneration? But this makes no sense. It is simply a taboo in the film industry to hire new people for a mere remuneration."

Another senior person in the film and television industry commented: "In fact, it doesn't matter if you use newcomers. In the film and television industry, some directors like to use newcomers. After all, movies often use newcomers to have more miraculous effects. But comedies are different. The core characters of comedy films are The protagonist. And the actors who can control comedy movies are basically veteran actors. A newcomer is qualified to be the protagonist of a comedy? With all due respect: it is too difficult, too difficult."

There are many doubts.

And they are all justified.

Many people even think that Wang Mo is a little too arrogant and wants to make money through this movie.

Wang Mo was not angry about these comments, but felt that they were completely normal. After all, if he hadn't remembered Mr. Xing and witnessed Zhong An's performance, he wouldn't have dared to let Zhong An be the protagonist.

But at this time, another unexpected thing happened.

Canxing Culture.

High-rise conference room.

The CEO was holding a meeting. The CEO in a suit said solemnly: "Everyone, Yunhai Media has made an announcement. The new movie "Kung Fu" written by Wang Mo will be released on New Year's Day. What do you think?"

at once.

Everyone was talking and making a lot of noise.

After a while, the boss of the film and television department stood up and frowned: "Our movie "Fortress" was completed last month, and it is also confirmed to be released on New Year's Day. In this way, it will conflict with the schedule of "Kung Fu" .Now please give me a good suggestion:

First, it will still be released on New Year's Day, but it will have a head-on showdown with "Kung Fu".

Second, avoid "Kung Fu" and postpone its release to the Spring Festival. "

Uh-huh!

The boss of the propaganda department slammed the table and stood up and said: "Postponed to the Spring Festival? Isn't this nonsense? At present, I know that there are at least three big-budget movies to be released during the Spring Festival. If our movie is released during the Spring Festival, the competition will be even greater. More Besides, why should we avoid "Kung Fu"? Why are we afraid of it?

First: than screenwriter? Both movies were planned by Wang Mo, and there is no distinction between them.

Second: than investment? The investment in "Kung Fu" was 280 million, and the investment in "Fortress" was 330 million. Our investment was even higher.

Third: than propaganda? We and Yunhai Media are evenly matched, starting from the same starting line.

Fourth: Than starring? The other party is a newcomer, and we are the hot top players. Crush the opponent.

Fifth: Comparison type? Kung Fu movies are comedies which are bullshit, but ours is a sci-fi masterpiece that completely outperforms the other.

The only thing we have to pay attention to is: Wang Mo said at the beginning that movies could not be promoted in his name. But it doesn't hurt. After all, he is just a screenwriter. Even if he promotes the movie, he will not help much.

So I don't see any reason why we should avoid "Kung Fu".

I even think: "Kung Fu" should be avoided, not "Fortress". I firmly believe that we should continue with the original plan, release "Fortress" on New Year's Day, and have an open and honest PK with "Kung Fu". "

Finished.

Many people began to agree.

The boss of the film and television department was a little worried: "But isn't it a bit unkind for us to do this? Wang Mo gave us the script, but in the end we used the movie written by him to compete with his movie in the market."

The boss of the Propaganda Department laughed: "Old Zheng, you are not really moved by Wang Mo, are you? You must know that the script Wang Mo originally sold us for "Magic City Fortress" was worth ten million! Ten million Script, his heart is so dark. So we don’t need to be grateful to him at all. And you see, the development of Yunhai Media in recent years has squeezed our Canxing Culture out of survival space. We can’t sit still and wait for death. Now , it’s a good opportunity.”

Take a deep breath.

He continued: "From the current information, "Fortress" crushes "Kung Fu" in all aspects. Especially now that Wang Mo's "Kung Fu" movie has been questioned by many people, which represents everyone's fundamental Not optimistic about it.

Although the final box office results of a movie cannot be known until it is released. But at least it proves that "Kung Fu" has fallen behind in the initial stage. "Fortress" is just the opposite. With the popularity of the protagonist Lin Yixuan and the gimmick of China's first science fiction, it will definitely become popular on the entire Internet in an instant, and the pre-booked box office can easily exceed 100 million.

So my opinion is: "Fortress" is officially released on New Year's Day, because "Kung Fu" cannot pose any threat to it at all. On the contrary, "Magic City Fortress" will most likely trample it and stand out. In this way, we not only have exclusive access to the New Year's Day box office, but also deal a severe blow to Yunhai Media. With an investment of nearly 300 million, once the box office hits the streets, I think it will definitely hurt Yunhai Media. It's a win-win! wrong! Win more! "

A few words.

Deafening.

Many people's blood boiled with excitement.

"I agree with Mr. Liu's opinion."

"I agree too."

"Add me one."

"..."

In the conference room, many senior executives expressed their opinions.

Because the analysis of the head of the Propaganda Department was deeply recognized by them.

In the past few years, they have been so overwhelmed by Yunhai Media that they have not even had a chance to breathe.

But everyone knows in their hearts: Yunhai Media can suppress them time and time again because of the existence of one more person: Wang Mo!

Wang Mo is so evil, so evil that it makes them despair.

Even within Canxing Culture, many people are frightened and have no confidence at all when they mention Wang Mo.

But this time, they could find no reason for failure.

Because: The movie script "Fortress" was written by Wang Mo!

Many people laughed wildly in their hearts: Hahaha, Wang Mo, Yunhai Media, you can’t think of it, right? It was originally intended to deceive us ten million, but it became the sharpest sword in our hands.

Use the swords you made to attack yourselves.

How do you defeat this move?

…

The official team of "Kung Fu" announced that the movie will be scheduled for New Year's Day the day after.

Many people are still discussing this movie enthusiastically, questioning that it is a comedy, questioning that its protagonist is a newcomer, and questioning that Wang Mo is drifting.

Canxing Culture officially updated its Weibo: "Breaking news: The sci-fi masterpiece "Fortress" directed by Sun He will be released online on New Year's Day. The film stars Lin Yixuan, He Wen, Zhao Long, You Feng ... and others participated in the performance, and the investment reached a huge 330 million. Please join us on New Year's Day to personally unveil the giant screen of Chinese science fiction movies!"

boom!

This big news.

The whole network was shocked to the point of numbness.

"Oh My God!"

"A science fiction masterpiece from Canxing Culture?"

"Invest more than 300 million? I'm scared to death."

"Director Sun He's work? Oh my god... Um, can anyone tell me who this director is?"

"The director is not important, the key is that Lin Yi-hyun plays the leading role! Ahhhh!! My male god."

"Yi Xuan! Yi Xuan! Yi Xuan!"

“I’m going to fight for this name!!!”

"..."

The entire Internet is in a frenzy.

Any time a top star plays a huge role in promoting a movie.

And Lin Yixuan, a young star, is now a top figure in the Chinese entertainment industry. His fame and popularity are not inferior to those of Wang Mo before his house collapsed.

Fans went crazy when they saw him starring in a sci-fi blockbuster like "Fortress" with an investment of hundreds of millions.

"support!"

"support!"

"Yixuan is the most handsome!"

"Husband Yihyun!"

In a short period of time, the storm that swept the entire Internet far surpassed that of "Kung Fu". After all, although Wang Mo is now the number one person in the Chinese entertainment industry, no one is more famous than him. But Wang Mo is still only credited as a screenwriter in the new movie "Kung Fu". But Lin Yi-hyun is the real starring actor in "Fortress".

The two have completely different impacts on fans.

Moreover, this is the first time since his debut that Lin Yi-hyun has starred in a science fiction masterpiece with an investment of hundreds of millions. It would be strange if fans are not crazy.

Especially after the trailer of "Fortress" was released, the industry began to scream.

The short two-minute trailer vividly depicts the sci-fi scene of the future magical city. High-rise buildings and future technological facilities are intertwined, forming a picture with extremely explosive visual impact. Especially when the alien mothership arrives, the overwhelming pressure is suffocating. The flames of war and explosions that instantly ignited shocked the soul, and the audience's hearts were lifted when they saw it.

"It is definitely a milestone production of Chinese science fiction."

"The special effects are awesome!"

"It feels like watching a European and American science fiction blockbuster."

"Are the special effects of our Chinese science fiction movies this good?"

“It’s really shocking, looking forward to it~~~”

"..."

When the entire Internet caused a commotion due to the promotion of "Magic City Fortress".

Yunhai Media.

The faces of all the senior executives were distorted with anger.

"You're on horseback, Canxing's culture is too much!"

"Excessive!"

"Too much!"

"They are not grateful at all and are repaying kindness with hatred?!"

"Wang Mo wrote the movie script for them regardless of previous suspicions, but now they deliberately coincide the release date of the movie with "Kung Fu"?"

"I don't even believe it if they say they didn't do it on purpose!"

"..."

At this moment, the outside world still does not know that the script of "Fortress" was written by Wang Mo, but the senior executives of Yunhai Media know it well. They did not expect that Wang Mo's generous act of writing the script for the other party did not win the gratitude of the other party. Instead, the opponent used Wang Mo's work as the sharpest weapon and stabbed him.

Damn it!

Such a wolf-hearted thing.

What makes Yunhai's senior executives a little flustered is that "Fortress" looks indeed very good. The script, investment, and special effects are all top-notch, and the actors are also top-notch. A movie like this is much better than "Kung Fu" in every aspect.

If two movies are released at the same time, is there still room for "Kung Fu" to survive?

As for Yuan Xiong, his lips were trembling with anger.

He walked back and forth in the office, shouting angrily: "Beast! Beast!"

Although he invested in the "Fortress" movie himself, and Wang Mo had said before that the script he gave was actually not very good, Yuan Xiong was still furious when he saw Canxing Culture's actions.

Next to him, Wang Mo was still sitting calmly on his chair, looking at Yuan Xiong with a smile.

Just now he had watched the trailer of "Fortress".

It can be said that from the perspective of special effects, the special effects of this movie are quite remarkable. After all, it cost more than 300 million yuan. Even a piece of shit can be fragrant, right?

And Wang Mo knows: whether a movie is good or not ultimately depends on the acting skills of the actors and the plot.

But the two-minute trailer of "Fortress" is full of special effects. What can you tell?

Just wait.

Seeing Yuan Xiong still circling in circles, Wang Mo smiled and said: "Brother Xiong, stop scolding."

Yuan Xiong said angrily: "No scolding? From now on, I will carve all the names of those guys from Canxing Culture on the villain's body, and then prick it with needles every night. These guys can't be pricked to death!"

Wang Mo was still smiling: "Actually, what I'm looking forward to most is what Canxing Culture is doing."

Yuan Xiong was stunned: "What are you most looking forward to?"

"That's right."

Wang Mo said calmly: "Because they do this, then I don't have to worry about killing people."

Speaking of which.

A thought flashed through his mind: when he gave Canxing Culture the script for "Magic City Fortress", he wanted to teach the other party a thorough lesson, so as to make peace with the other party's previous dealings with him. If the other party accepts it silently, then Wang Mo will forget about it. But now it seems that Canxing Culture not only has no intention of repenting, but also wants to use its own things against itself.

In this case... Wang Mo is not polite.

…

The following days.

Both "Fortress" and "Kung Fu" have launched massive promotions.

The combined investment in the two movies exceeded 600 million, so of course they were very ruthless in their promotion. In this era, no matter how good your movie is, if it is not well-publicized, it will still be unsatisfactory at the box office.

So both sides took action.

Advertisements are overwhelming.

Have you occupied Weibo? Then I will occupy Douyin.

Do you cover buses? Then I'll cover the subway.

From online to offline.

Mutual exchange.

No one dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

As for the film crews of both parties, they also started a nationwide roadshow promotion.

However, in this aspect, the crew of "Fortress" crushed the crew of "Kung Fu".

Because in the "Kung Fu" crew, the male and female protagonists are not well-known, that is, the director Chai Qing is a little famous, so it can't support the offline publicity at all.

Looking back at "Fortress", every time the crew went to a city, it would cause local traffic jams. It’s true that Lin Yi-hyun’s fans are so crazy. It was even reported on the Internet that in the city where Lin Yixuan went, an ordinary movie ticket actually cost nearly a thousand yuan, and the supply was still in short supply.

Seeing this situation, Fu Hong even suggested to Wang Mo whether he should also participate in the offline promotion of "Kung Fu". If Wang Mo stood up and took the initiative to promote, it is estimated that ten Lin Yixuan would not be able to defeat him.

After all, Wang Mo's fans now cover various groups such as children, teenagers, aunts, etc.

Lin Yixuan?

Wang Mo could kill such a little piece of meat with just one finger.

However, Wang Mo shook his head and rejected Fu Hong's proposal: "No, if I participate in the promotion, it would be too bullying. And it is somewhat inappropriate for me to participate in the promotion of a movie in my current capacity. Plus, I am in the movie We only have one screenwriter in the movie, so we won’t steal the scenes from the lead actor and other actors.”

Fu Hong thought for a while and nodded in approval.

Regardless of the identity of "Wuyan" or "Xilou", it is really inappropriate to promote a movie offline.

And Fu Hong also knew in his heart: the popularity of "Magic City Fortress" offline is actually false. Fans who are all directed towards Lin Yi-hyun do not have a great promotional effect on the movie. On the contrary, to a certain extent, the fans' excessive enthusiasm will hinder the offline promotion of the movie.

…

In this way, time passes day by day.

The two movies have already been widely publicized, and a conservative estimate is that tens of millions have been spent on publicity.

Of course the effect is amazing.

In a short period of time, almost 60% of people in cities across China have heard the names of these two movies and know that they will be released on New Year's Day.

Until December 26th.

It's just the day after Christmas in the West, and theaters have already listed the film schedules for the first day of New Year's Day in advance.

"Fortress": The film scheduling rate is 33.5%.

"Kung Fu": The film schedule rate is 32.6%.

The scheduling rates of the two movies are almost the same.

However, because the leading actor in "Fortress" is so famous, the film scheduling rate is only slightly higher than that of "Kung Fu", but generally speaking, the two are on the same starting line.

at the same time.

Both movies have opened movie ticket pre-sale functions.

Relying on the popularity of previous publicity.

on the first day.

The pre-sale box office of "Fortress" has exceeded 20 million.

The pre-sale box office of "Kung Fu" seems to be slightly declining, with only 12 million.

Seeing this scene, many marketing accounts immediately started to take offense.

"The victory or defeat has been decided."

"Wang Mo's second movie will most likely be a hit."

""Fortress" will open the door to Chinese science fiction blockbusters."

"'Kung Fu' may become Wang Mo's failure. The reason is that Wang Mo went astray. For Kung Fu movies to become comedy films, this is a joke in itself."

"Just wait for "Fortress" to crush "Kung Fu"."

"..."

Seeing the promotions of these marketing accounts, Yuan Xiong yelled again: "Made, these two movies are all scripts written by Ah Mo, okay? You know nothing! Mao doesn't understand!"

Wang Mo still sits firmly as a mountain.

What's the rush?

Let the bullets fly for a while.

Two days to go.

Yep…only two days left.

the next day.

The pre-sale box office of "Fortress" continues to soar, with total pre-sales exceeding 30 million, while "Kung Fu" still only has 14 million.

The third day.

The pre-sale box office of "Fortress" was finally set at 36.5 million. Although this pre-sale box office is not outstanding, it is not bad. On the other hand, the three-day pre-sale box office of "Kung Fu" was only 17.2 million, less than half of "Fortress".

So far.

The three-day pre-sale period ends.

The time finally came to January 1st.

a new Year.

new ambience.

New Year's Day is here~~~

At the same time, theaters across the country have also started new film schedules.

On this day, "Kung Fu" and "Fortress", which have been promoted for a full month, finally started their official release!
