Disaster Artist

From the hustle and bustle of the awards season to the crowded holidays, you can feel that the fierce competition in Lanchuan has been fully opened, and this year is indeed a mess.

However, none of the film companies can match the courage of Fantastic Films—

Originally, after the end of "Jedi Knight 7", Magic Pictures did not plan to produce "Jedi Knight 8" immediately, but gave the market some buffer breathing time, and released the sequel every two years; but later, Magic Pictures smelled an opportunity, and even The plan had been adjusted before "Raid 2" detonated the spring file, so "Jedi Knight 8" was completed in full swing, and the final sprint was made in autumn, finally catching up with the holiday file.

For two consecutive years, "Jedi Knight" will attack the holiday file.

From the side, we can see the confidence and confidence of Magic Pictures. Even a work of such magnitude as "Jedi Knight 8" can be laid out without hesitation. Every move can deeply feel the majesty of the predator at the top of the food chain, and The streamer film industry at its peak is by no means inferior.

Then, a behemoth like "Jedi Knight 8" completely broke the balance, which further caused a serious imbalance in the schedule.

Most directly, last week, none of the works dared to confront "Jedi Knight 8", so they had to adjust their schedules one after another. In this week of the second week, four commercial films were also crazy crowded—

As for "Star Falling City", it is regarded as an awards season film, and its release strategy is different from commercial films, so the film company did not take it seriously.

The full confidence of the theater chain alliance comes from this background, because they know that even if Chaoyue Cinema, Qingshan Cinema and Xiazhi Cinema choose to show "City of Starfall" and increase the film screening ratio to show their support, they can The number of screens that are evened out is still very limited:

Because there are too many and too strong competitors, all from different companies, even if the intertwined interests of the film companies are temporarily put aside, the three theaters headed by the detached theaters must also consider the supply and demand of the market. They cannot ignore the needs of the general public and must give " Corresponding arrangements for other films other than "Starfall City".

That is to say, "The City of Stars Falling" was indeed released smoothly, but in addition to the low number of less than 1,500 theaters, the number of screens and the ratio of films are also facing severe tests.

Disaster! Difficult to ascend to heaven!

Maybe it wasn't intentional or deliberate, maybe it wasn't a conspiracy, maybe the film company didn't cooperate at all, maybe there was no conspiracy between the theater chain and the film company, but each company has its own calculations, the strong rise of Blue Whale Films It has become the consensus of all—

In the turbulent torrent of the times, Blue Whale Films is indeed standing on the opposite side of half of Lanchuan.

Even without the deliberate exclusion of theater alliances, the highly competitive holiday slots are enough to tear apart the little living space left in "City of Falling Stars".

Pressure, overwhelming; competition, everywhere—

For the "City of Falling Stars", it can be described as shocking every step of the way.

These works that were excluded and rescheduled to the fourth week of December have some origins, but also some question marks.

Among them, the most competitive are "Jumanji" and "Deadly Passenger".

The former, produced by Peak Entertainment, cost as much as 700 million yuan to produce, and is also one of the most important hits of the year.

In fact, Peak Entertainment is aiming at the holiday family carnival market, and is ready to flex its muscles. This work is adapted from a classic board game and has been remade twice in the history of Lanchuan. There is nothing wrong with vacation time.

The schedule of "Game of the Brave" was adjusted twice, but it was squeezed out by "Jedi Knight 8" to the fourth week of December. In fact, Summit Entertainment was quite critical, but Magic Pictures didn't talk about martial arts, and they couldn't help it.

The latter, produced by Streaming Films, has a production cost of 800 million yuan. It was originally aimed at the summer film, but after realizing the changes in the competition for the holiday film, it postponed its release.

The cast of this film is very attractive:

After the "Maze Game" series, the new generation of Golden Book Award winner Yan Yalan starred in the lead role. After the end of the "Maze Game" series, this new box office superstar continued to aim at the holiday season; and her partner performance is based on the restart of the "Jurassic Paradise" series and Guppa climbed to the top of his career in the Fantastic Pictures superhero film "The Guardians."

The ambition of Streamer Pictures can be seen from the cast selection.

Unlike Summit Entertainment, Streamer Pictures is very confident in the movie's box office prospects, and it can almost be said that it is preparing for "Jedi Knight 8" head-on.

In addition, "Pitch Perfect 3" and "King of the King of Shows" are...unspeakable, even dumbfounding.

The former is a sequel.

Two years ago, "Pitch Perfect 2" suddenly emerged in the summer. Although the first part of the series performed well at the box office, it was at most the level of a light-weight sketch, but I did not expect the second part of the series to become popular through short videos. With a production cost of 200 million yuan, it swept the box office of 6 billion yuan worldwide, and it became very popular.

This has also become another classic case of Qiyang Media's small fight for big, and then, the third part of the series will come.

But Qiyang Media did not arrange another summer file, but came to the holiday file to join in the fun, UU reading www. uukanshu. The strategic level of com is understandable, but Qiyang Media is still Qiyang Media, and it is not willing to spend money on the promotion and distribution level, so that this work with high expectations is in a position of equal.

The latter is adapted from the musical of the same name.

The movie is starred by Matthew, who became popular all over the world thanks to the "Mutant Team" series. He is the top superstar client in "Deadpool" who complained about the limited funds and could not be invited. The production cost of this work is as high as 800 million. The determination of the film industry, they are serious about the holiday file.

After experiencing the success of "Deadpool", Lion Pictures is also very optimistic about the prospects of this work, looking forward to "King of Show Kings" can become this year's "Mission to Mars" - not aimed at the awards season, but because of the excellent The box office performance ranks among the competition in the awards season, and it has another wave of presence.

However, there is a problem here, a very, very critical problem—

"Pitch Perfect 3" and "The King of Showmen" are both song and dance movies.

audience:? ? ?

Please, has everyone lost their memory? A few months ago, Lu Qian was preparing to shoot a song and dance movie. After the news came out, there was a lot of scolding and complaints. Everyone thought that Lu Qian was ruining his career. After all, song and dance movies have been eliminated by the times. what happened?

While complaining about Lu Qian fiercely, while secretly poking about making a song and dance movie?

What’s more, Qiyang Media is fine, they are keen to fight big with small things, they will try any subject and genre, and it is not uncommon to make some unexpected decisions; but what is going on with Lion Pictures, they are inexplicably interested in singing and dancing movies up? Then why didn't he support Lu Qian at the beginning?

absurd. absurd.

However, it is indeed happening, but... this is Lanchuan, this is Vanity Fair, entertainment to death, everything is possible.

—Welcome to Lanchuan.
