Chapter 399 Ending, regretful (please vote for me)
On June 19th, "Sunspot" was released, with a single-day box office of 130 million. On July 19th, "Sunspot" was released for a month, and the single-day box office was even On Sunday, I only won less than 5 million. It can be said that the potential is completely gone.
But for the crew, they were already satisfied, and they even had to celebrate with beating gongs and drums in the Imperial Capital.
Two billion.
When the literary film "Sunspot" exceeded 2 billion, it was almost crazy.
You must know that the number 2 billion is really a record for a literary film.
Not even Ning Ping thought of it.
He originally thought that breaking 500 million would be good.
Now that the potential of "Sunspot" has been basically tapped, the box office in the last week has dropped off a cliff. It seems that the final box office will exceed 2.1 billion and it will be over.
But who dares to be dissatisfied? ? ?
Liu Jing could not wait to celebrate at this time.
Because for Liu Jing, he has also made two movies in a row. Not only that, his reputation has also suffered serious negative consequences.
This is often the case. What actors need is to rely on their works to speak for themselves.
Why did Liu Jing take on the movie "Sunspot"? ? ?
He just wants to tell everyone that he is still the actor who won the Best Actor.
Not only that, Liu Jing wants to make a direct comeback with this literary film.
Because of this, Liu Jing asked for almost no salary. From the beginning, he thought that as long as the movie did not hit the streets, it would even have a box office of 100 million.
That’s right.
What else do you think about most of the time in literary films? ? ?
One hundred million, that’s a huge loss.
As a result, no one expected that the movie would exceed 2 billion, and the final box office has exceeded 2.1 billion.
So at the last stop of the road show, Liu Jing was also in tears. It was obvious that Liu Jing was indeed a little out of control.
He first expressed his surprise, and at the same time thanked Lin Xing emphatically, because the police uncle at the scene just now also said that Lin Xing and Liu Jing had caught several thieves when they experienced life together, and for Liu Jing, He said that although Lin Xing is younger than himself, his understanding of characters is better than his own.
In short, Liu Jing thanked Lin Xing.
Not only Liu Jing, but also Feng Cheng said at the scene that he is a person who is afraid of society. He often speaks directly and directly. This kind of thing means that he has low emotional intelligence at best, and is short-sighted at worst.
Feng Cheng was often dug up by reporters when he was interviewed a few years ago, which means that he is not well-known, otherwise he might be directly exposed by the Internet now.
Because of this, Feng Chengxue has become smarter over the years. He never accepts interviews and tries not to participate in variety shows. Even in many drama road shows, he doesn't speak much.
Of course, he was basically not used in road shows of many art films in the past.
But this time is different. This time Feng Cheng also has a similar mentality to Liu Jing, that is, he finally got through it.
Feng Cheng's biggest problem before was that there was no literary and artistic film with high box office. Of course, it is difficult for art films to achieve high box office.
The movies he acted in were not very popular. For this reason, he was relatively good in the industry, but he received very little from the audience.
This time it’s different.
This time Feng Cheng really gained a lot of attention with Ding Lei in "Sunspot".
Everyone even watched some of Feng Cheng’s previous works, and they all felt that Feng Cheng’s acting skills were so good that he should have become popular.
Actually, Feng Cheng is several years younger than Ye Wen now, but Ye Wen is already considered Feng Cheng’s senior in the industry.
But this time it's different.
Feng Cheng can even successfully enter the uncle circle with Ding Lei. Of course, this follow-up will continue to depend on Feng Cheng's performance, but at least this month's road show plus "Sunspot" If the box office is high, then Feng Cheng will get a lot of dividends.
As for Luo Yuan, Liu Ning and others, not to mention, in short, everyone reaped the dividends.
After the last stop of the road show, everyone also took photos together and also made some announcements.
After returning to the Imperial Capital on the 20th, Lin Xing returned to the studio first.
"These are some recent scripts..."
Ding Chunling smiled bitterly at Lin Xing and said: "Because of the popularity of "Sunspot", almost all movie scripts are now literary films..."
"I said I won't accept scripts for the time being..."
Lin Xing shook his head and said: "Let's forget about these scripts for now. Prepare to disappear for a while."
Ding Chunling said: "You can disappear for a while, that's okay, but you have to participate in CCTV's "Artist's Appointment" next, because "Minning Town" The task drama received good reviews, and you were invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, so naturally you have to participate in the CCTV interview..."
"A Date with an Artist" is CCTV's evergreen interview variety show. In recent years, as Zhao Fang said, interview variety shows have become increasingly difficult to do. Even people like Minnie have started doing outdoor interviews, but CCTV Don't care.
Since 2000, this "Artist's Date" has been conducting interviews for almost 26 years, and the 'artists' in this "Artist's Date" are not just people from the entertainment industry.
Because this is CCTV, and the ‘artists’ in “A Date with an Artist” even refers to craftsmen, so all circles will come to participate.
And from the very beginning, "A Date with an Artist" has been an interview program, with CCTV host Qi Bing chatting with the guests.
After Qi Bing retired in 2015, "A Date with an Artist" was replaced by CCTV's new host Zheng Hai. Zheng Hai's hosting style is more relaxed and does not engage in tear-jerking scenes. .
You must know that Zheng Hai was the host of "Focus Interview" and "Three Minutes of News" at the beginning. He can be both positive and poor.
It has been 10 years since Zheng Hai took over "A Date with an Artist", and this interview series is still standing. Basically, it only pursues one purpose, and that is: "Stay consistent, change as you like. Change, I will never change.”
It can be said that "A Date with an Artist" is CCTV's flagship interview. Unlike other interview types, they don't invite people with popularity and traffic, and they even invite them. Some fresh meat.
"If there was no TV series "Minning Town", they would never have invited you."
Finally, Ding Chunling said again: "And we really have no way to refuse. .”
Lin Xing said he knew: "When will it be recorded??"
"At the end of the month."
Ding Chunling said: "So at least you have to stay in the Imperial Capital until the end of the month."
"Okay."
Lin Xing nodded lightly: "It just so happens that "Sunspot" won't be released in theaters for the time being. They will have a celebration party in a few days to promote it again..."
For the movie "Sunspot", if the box office exceeds 2 billion, it will have exceeded the task and even exceeded the standard.
But no one will object to the low box office.
If the box office of "Sunspot" can go further, then Bohai Film and Television will certainly be happy to do so.
For now, the celebration party is basically the last promotion.
According to Bohai Film and Television’s idea, it would be great if “Sunspot” can finally break 2.1 billion.
Even if you look at the current situation, the difference is only tens of millions, but these tens of millions often take a long time. After all, sometimes you can't even reach 3 million a day. Even one or two million a week.
There will be more and more new films, and "Sunspot" may not even be able to get 8 million in a week.
The market for artistic films is so big, and it has already been released for 31 days. What else do you want? ? ?
So the celebration party must be held as soon as possible, so on July 25th, "Sunspot" held a celebration party in Beijing.
At the celebration banquet, Ning Ping first gave a speech, basically thanking him for this and that.
In addition to Ning Ping, actors such as Lin Xing, Liu Jing, Luo Yuan, Feng Cheng, Liu Ning also made speeches one after another.
Everyone is eating, drinking and celebrating today.
At the same time, Xuanfa will capture some scenes, and then intercept some text from them to promote "Sunspot".
In this way, the celebration party on July 25 successfully became a hot search topic, along with Lin Xing’s short interview.
This is an exclusive interview with China Film News.
You must know that Lin Xing is now regarded as the male god of literary and artistic films. One film "Killing Arden" and one "Sunspot" have firmly established Lin Xing as the male god of literary and artistic films. Location.
“I can’t afford this title. I made literary films by chance. I just accepted the script when I saw it was suitable.” However, I always think that Director Huang Ning is right, the market for artistic films is still huge."
"Why should I resist commercial films? I am an actor and I don’t want to try everything. ?”
"There are no plans for the next time. I want to take a break. To be honest, I feel like I have no life anymore during this period of continuous work. When an actor has no life, then he will naturally have no content."
“I really think it’s normal that I can’t win the Magnolia Vision Emperor. As for the other three gold medals, I naturally want to win them, but I still I just think it’s random. I’m still young and there’s always a chance.”
“I won’t respond to the Hundred Flowers Award. I haven’t even been nominated. Everything I say here seems to be my own envy. Average? ?"
......
For the interview with "China Film News", what Lin Xing said is quite pertinent.
Lin Xing has spoken quite to the point about the spy brother in the TV series, the male idol in the film and art film, the failure of Magnolia to be the emperor, the nomination for the Hundred Flowers Best Actor Award, etc.
Achievement means success, failure to achieve means failure.
It’s just an award, do you think it’s important? It is important, but if you say it is not important, it is not important either.
Lin Xing still walks his own path steadily.
As for Lin Xing’s next choice of film, and even the choice between movies and TV series, etc., Lin Xing said very pertinently: “Look at the script.”
If the script is good, I'll take it.
As for pressure? ? ?
Lin Xing really doesn’t have one.
“I would not have thought that the ratings of my next TV series would break 4, and I would not have thought that my next movie would be a failure if the box office was less than 2 billion.”
“How is that possible? ? If you judge the success or failure of movies and TV series based on data, then if you go back a few decades, those TV series that were called classics were relatively poor at the time, and were even considered the worst by the audience. ”
...
This interview is actually also for the promotion of "Sunspot".
While the popularity is still there, the "China Film News" naturally wants to enjoy the popularity.
And to put it bluntly, "China Film News" has indeed caught on to this popularity.
“Don’t mention it, Lin Xing is really awesome. This TV series and movie are really a double bloom.”
"Yes, I have one thing to say. I really admire Lin Xing. The key is that he can make the right choice every time." People say Lin Xing has cheats? ?"
...
These comments are all about admiration for Lin Xing, or they think Lin Xing is awesome.
This report from "China Film News" has indeed made Lin Xing a hot search topic once again.
Although this popularity has arisen, the impact on the box office of "Sunspot" on that day is almost negligible.
If it doesn’t work, it won’t work.
Again, the market for literary and artistic films has reached this point, and the market has been completely eaten up. At this time, the impact of new films will naturally disappear.
At the end of July, Lin Xing participated in an interview on "A Date with an Artist" again.
Because "Sunspot" was released in theaters the day before, it ended up just shy of 2.1 billion. It's a bit regretful, but not much.
After all, this was within everyone's expectations, not to mention that your box office has exceeded 3 billion, so why are you dissatisfied? ?
When Lin Xing was recording "The Artist's Appointment", he had already done some homework on this variety show.
To put it bluntly, this variety show is completely different from other variety shows.
Because the values on "A Date with an Artist" are great, this is a show that wants to savor life and at the same time give people some positive energy.
Since it is positive energy, it naturally needs to be sensational.
Besides, CCTV always likes to sensationalize.
This "Artist's Date" will often investigate an artist from childhood to adulthood, and even investigate social relationships, in order to get the artist to put down his armor, or put his guard down. .
According to what some people in the industry say, this "Artist's Appointment" can actually be called "Artist's Undefended". It basically means chatting with everyone about everything, but it must not ruin the three views.
You are like an entertainer who is being taken care of. You are like some people in the entertainment industry who turned out to be mistresses but ended up boasting about being good wives. There are also some who were just little girls but ended up being told how they were. Kindness and so on.
None of these can be done.
"Teacher Lin, there is no script for our show. Here are some of our procedures..."
A staff member had already come to pick up Lin Xing and entered the backstage and started to say to Lin Xing: "If you have anything, You can also make requests.”
“I don’t have any requests.”
Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, “Just record whatever you want, I’ll listen to you.”
