Chapter 1220 Want to live for yourself? Launch a sprint towards 10 billion?
Throughout late July, all the hot searches on the Internet were news about "The Wandering Earth". Even if "Heroes of Fire" held its premiere, it did not suppress the former at all.
Nothing else.
The gap is too big!
When the time came to the end of the month 31, the pre-sale box office of "Heroes of Fire" only reached 40 million.
On the other hand, "The Wandering Earth" has soared to 3.172 billion in its cumulative box office after its release for 5 days!
How to compare?
What comparison is it for "Heroes of Fire"?
In this way, after a night of turning, the time officially entered August.
As a main theme movie with a pretty good reputation, "Heroes of Fire" finally brought 35% of the film schedule and officially entered the theater market.
At this time, there were 48.2% of the film schedules for "The Wandering Earth".
As for other movies during the same period, it’s quite miserable!
"Drug War 2: The Showdown of Heaven and Earth" has been officially released due to exhaustion of box office potential, with a total box office of 1.463 billion - Maoyan app."
"The Hollywood imported blockbuster "The Lion King" was drawn at 12 a.m. last night, and the box office closed at 750 million."
"The Galaxy Tutorial Class 14 days after its release, the box office successfully exceeded 1 billion, with a cumulative closing of 1.073 billion."
"On the 6th day of release, "The Wandering Earth" closed at 413 million in a single day, and the total cumulative box office successfully exceeded 3.5 billion! It closed at 3.585 billion!"
"Last night, the family education drama "Little Joy" produced by Lemon Film and Television Media, directed by Wang Jun, and written by Huang Lei, and starring Huang Lei, Hai Qing, Tao Hong, Wang Yanhui, Yongmei, Sha Yi and Zhao Jinmai was officially launched.
On the first day of its launch, the drama Oriental Satellite TV's ratings were 1.038%, and Zhejiang Satellite TV's ratings were 1.168%. At the same time, the market share was firmly ranked first! ”
~
This wave of traffic from "The Wandering Earth" can be regarded as being fetched by "Little Joy".
As the starring actor, Zhao Jinmai has really brought a lot of attention to this family education drama!
Su Xiao, chairman of Lemon Film and Television, was so happy that he was as happy as a monkey who grabbed a banana.
"Is this the value of Feiyue Film and Television? A movie actually brought our TV series away, hahahahaha!"
Seeing that the boss was so happy, the secretary quickly flattered: "Dr. Su, you have a vision and decided on Zhao Jinmai at the beginning."
"Hahaha!"
Su Xiao is so happy about this flattery.
Of course, you still have to be busy with your business after being happy.
There is no need to worry about "Little Joy" now, but there are more than one project in the company, and you need to pay more attention to the rest.
"How is the filming of "Twenty Not Confused" going on? Is it still going well?"
The secretary nodded slightly, "Yeah, it's going well."
"A few actresses are not having any situations such as tearing up episodes, stealing shots, and asking to change scripts, right?"
When it comes to this matter, Su Xiao felt very unhappy.
A group of little girls, the oldest one is only in his 20s, so they started to make trouble in the crew, making it a mess.
If she hadn't personally taken action and shocked her, the drama would have had to be suspended!
"No." The secretary shook his head and continued to flatter him, "After you came forward, Guan Xiaotong and Li Gengxi calmed down and never made any other troubles."
"That's fine." Su Xiao nodded slightly and asked again: "Where is the other side of "Thirty Only"? Is there no problem?"
"No, Jiang Shuying, Mao Xiaotong, and Tong Yao get along well in a harmonious relationship, and there is no situation of tearing each other or stealing the scene."
"Okay, you'll go to the crew more often in the past few days, especially in "Twenty Not Confused". Beat those girls well, don't bring that messy atmosphere to the crew, or get out of here!"
"Yes, Mr. Su."
The secretary focused on his key points and agreed happily.
Who doesn’t like this kind of thing like pulling the tiger’s skin as a banner?
...
At the same time, Chen Fei was chatting with Guo Fan on Feiyue Film and Television.
"The movie "Heroes of Fire" seems to have a good reputation?"
Guo Fan frowned slightly, looking at the 9.4 Maoyan ticket rating, and was a little worried that the movie would affect "The Wandering Earth".
Chen Fei held his eyes and said, "What do you think of Maoyan? Just refer to the ratings here. Most of them are made up for money, mainly based on Douban. The ratings there are more real."
"Ah? Is that true?"
Guo Fan reacted after realizing it and quickly opened Douban.
At this glance, he opened his mouth wide, "Good guy, is the difference so big?"
Maoyan is 9.4, Douban is 6.4, which is a 3-point gap!
"There will definitely be an impact, after all, the plot is quite sensational, and the special effects of the fire and explosion are also very good." Chen Fei commented objectively.
This is also the opinion of many netizens.
Tears, touching, poor rhythm, good special effects, excessive acting skills...
Guo Fan looked at these comments and suddenly reacted, and looked up suddenly and said, "No, what I think of it? What we really want to do is "Shanghai Fortress"!"
Chen Fei heard this and handed over an invitation letter, "Yeah, the invitation letter for the premiere of "Shanghai Fortress", you go, know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
"August 4th? Isn't that the day after tomorrow?"
Guo Fan looked through the invitation letter and muttered quietly.
After a while, he raised his head and asked, "Aren't you going? Let's go together?"
"I don't go, I have something to do." Chen Fei said seriously, and even asked for a reason to do something very important.
Guo Fan disagreed and didn't think much about it.
"Okay, I'll go by myself."
As he said that, he got up and walked out.
Watching him disappear behind the door, Chen Fei took out his cell phone and sent a message to Liu Yifei: "On the 4th, I'll take you to go shopping. It seems that another batch of new equipment has been launched."
What shit "Shanghai Fortress" are you going to watch?
With that time, it’s better to take your wife out for shopping. Why bother to find trouble for your own eyes?
Miss Liu's message came back quickly, "Okay, I love you, I have a heart (°з°)-~"
Look at the emotional value given by this, how can it compare "Shanghai Fortress"?
...
On August 2, the first day of "Heroes of Fire" was released.
The 122 million yuan achievement can also be regarded as the popularity of the summer vacation.
Although there are many voices of "forced sensationalism" online, these can be ignored, as long as they can make a box office.
Yu Dong has already begun to arrange public relations and evaluation.
He also didn't ask for a box office result that was as explosive as "The Wandering Earth". It would be great if he could drink some soup.
At 10 a.m., Chen Fei arrived at the company.
As usual, as soon as he turned on the computer, he first glanced at the hot search list.
"The Wandering Earth" and "The Hero of Fire" were directly ignored by him because he had watched enough of them in the past two days.
As for the one that follows, it is a movie called "The Rat Gallbladder".
Yue Yunpeng, Tong Liya, Tian Yu, Yuan Hong, Han Tongsheng, Cai Ming, Yu Qian, Dapeng, Yu Yang, Hua Shao...
Just looking at this lineup, it feels like a big gathering for comedians.
It’s the 13.2% comprehensive screening schedule, which is really pitiful.
There is nothing we can do about this. Who has made the current schedule and popularity of the entire summer vacation siphoned by "The Wandering Earth"?
As for other movies, it's even worse, not even popular.
"Dongdongdongdong--"
There was a knock on the door suddenly outside the door.
"Enter." Chen Fei looked up slightly.
Cramp-
As the door was opened, Li Yang walked in with the project book and the newly revised script of "White Snake 2".
"Director Chen, this is a revised script and project book, please take a look."
"Well, you can let it go."
Chen Fei nodded and responded, but his eyes looked at the phone placed on the table.
The "buzzing" vibration was obviously reminding him that a phone call was called in.
Li Yang was very sensible and put the project book and script on the table, and then stepped out.
Chen Fei picked up his phone and pressed the switch button: "Hey? Mr. Yang?"
"Haha, Mr. Chen, didn't bother you?" As soon as the phone was connected, Yang Yicheng's laughter and words came.
"Of course not." Chen Fei responded with a smile, unable to help but feel a little confused.
Why did Yang Yicheng suddenly call him?
After a few casual chats, the topic was put on the movie project.
"I saw Jiahe submitting another new script this morning, what is it called... "Eliminating the Rape"?" Hearing this, Chen Fei immediately smiled.
No wonder Yang Yicheng suddenly called, it turned out that he was interested in this new project.
Since the completion of the "Ip Man" series, the cooperation between Feiyue Film and Television and British-Photo has come to an end for the time being. Although the latter has also struggled with several film and television dramas in recent years, there has been almost no successful project.
When you see "Eliminating the Rape" pass the review, it is naturally hard to hide your heart.
"Yang Sheng is very interested in this project?"
"Oh!" Yang Yicheng sighed and said, "I lost a lot of money from the previous works. I really can't find a suitable project to invest in now. I really have no choice but to ask you for help."
Jiang Wen's previous film "Evil Do Not Suppress the Righteousness" made Ying Huang miserable.
400 million was spent in, and I didn’t even hear a sound. No wonder Yang Yicheng cried poorly.
Since they are asking for a visit, Chen Fei will not sit idly by.
Anyway, the project "Eliminate the Rape" is just used by him to stabilize the production business of Jiahe. After all, Jiahe's external identity is still a film and television company, not a theater company.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Although the revenue of theaters has long been a hundred times or even a thousand times that of film and television production, film and television production cannot be lost.
Otherwise, what would be the scripts he stocked?
You can't keep it moldy, right?
"I'll say hello to Huo Qigang, you go and talk to him."
"Oh! OK, then thank you Mr. Chen. I will never thank you for your kindness. If you have any questions, just say a word. I will never refuse!"
Yang's sales meeting was so grateful.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Fei’s current behavior is a timely help for Ying Huang!
"Hey, I happen to have a small thing, and I really need Yang Sheng to help you."
"Oh? What?"
"In October, the first Longteng Shengshi International Film Festival founded by me will be held in Jin Province. At that time, Yang Sheng will be invited to bring people to support him."
Yang Yicheng happily agreed, "Haha, it's easy to say, Mr. Chen, don't worry, I still have this little face."
With its development to this day, the Xiangjiang film and television industry has long been left behind by the mainland.
Many Xiangjiang filmmakers who used to look down on mainland filmmakers almost couldn't make it locally and had to choose to come to mainland China to beg for food with their tails.
As the only two film and television companies in the Hong Kong film industry that are still strong, I don’t know how many people want to get closer to it.
Therefore, if Yang Yicheng raises his arms, there will definitely be no fewer people willing to follow him!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei first spoke to Huo Qigang, then focused on the scripts and project books on the table, and began to conduct a secondary review and inspection.
At the same time, Huang Xiaoming, who was so annoyed by Yang Ying, had to use his connections to help her find a new TV series project again.
"Skyscrapers, adapted from Chen Xue's novel of the same name, tells the story of a bizarre murder case in the skyscraper. The captain of the criminal police, Zhong Jingguo and his partner Yang Ruisen, explored the layers of fog and revealed the truth of the murder case.
The director is Chen Zhendao, who is a director of Wanwan Province. You can study the script and role carefully these days and prepare for audition..."
Huang Xiaoming said silly.
However, Yang Ying, who was reading the script, frowned and felt a deep dissatisfaction appeared on her face.
"Why am I auditioning for a female second role? Can't I compete for this female lead "Yang Ruisen"?" She pointed to the script, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Huang Xiaoming was stunned by what she said, and then he immediately laughed angry.
At this moment, he remembered the scene when he recommended Yang Ying to Chen Zhendao again.
After picking up the information, they took a few glances and put them down. They didn't look at Yang Ying's resume carefully.
The reason is very simple.
Because Yang Ying’s resume can’t be read at all!
From the "Tai Chi" series, to "Di Renjie's God Capital Dragon King", "A Story of Wind and Flowers", "Temporary Cohabitation", "Huang Feihong's Heroes Have Dreams", "Micro Love: Gradually Becoming a Better Story", etc., none of them have been successful.
Not just movies, but TV series.
The ratings of all TV series she starred in were bleak, and her acting skills were criticized repeatedly.
In this case, who dares to use her as the female lead?
It is considered that she can give her a try for the second female lead!
"Don't you know what your situation is? How do you compete for the female lead? Can you bear the ratings? Do you have enough acting skills?"
Huang Xiaoming couldn't help but responded to her.
Yang Ying opened her mouth and wanted to refute a few words, but she couldn't find a suitable reason and had no confidence.
"If you want to, prepare for the audition. I have already greeted you. It's okay to take down the role, but if you don't want to, then I have no choice."
After saying that, Huang Xiaoming put on his coat and walked out the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I still have publicity and roadshow activities to participate in."
After saying a word, others disappeared at the door.
In the living room, Yang Ying held the script tightly, with deep resentment flashing in her eyes.
"Heroes of Fire" has a box office of more than 100 million yuan on the first day, and its online reputation is also good. Huang Xiaoming has made a very beautiful turnaround.
And Tan Zhuo, the female lead, also showed off!
When Yang Ying thought of this, she couldn't hide her anger.
After all, she told Huang Xiaoming that she asked him to help compete for this role, but was rejected!
In the end, she naturally lost to Tan Zhuo.
Now that she has seen the popularity of "Heroes of Fire" soar, she suddenly feels like she is "lossing huge"!
Obviously, this character should belong to you!
And now, she begged Huang Xiaoming for several days again, but in the end she only asked for an audition for the second female lead, and was also scolded!
How could she bear this?
The four young actresses in the past are now the only one who has been doing the worst. This huge gap makes her really unacceptable!
"No, I have to find a way out! Men are like this, once they get it, they no longer cherish it..."
Yang Ying murmured, already having other thoughts in her heart.
In her opinion, Huang Xiaoming obviously no longer cared about her, and it is very likely that she disliked her, or that she simply had someone outside!
If she doesn't find another way out now, maybe in a few years, she will be forced to retire from the circle and become a yellow-faced woman at home.
At that time, even if Huang Xiaoming brings the mistress home, she will not dare to say anything.
And this situation is obviously not what she wants!
...
At 5 pm, Chen Fei called Li Yang from the animation department with a phone call.
"Okay, just follow this version." As he said that, he handed back the project book and script of "White Snake 2" to Li Yang.
"Okay, Director Chen, I'll make arrangements now."
Li Yang, who was already a little nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After working hard for several months, this project can finally be carried out.
But at this moment, Chen Fei took out a new script from the safe and handed it to him, and added: "After the White Snake 2 is completed, let's get this project out as well."
Li Yang was slightly stunned when he heard this and looked at the cover of the script curiously.
"Twenty thousand miles of Chang'an?"
...
On August 2, the box office of "Heroes of Fire" exceeded 100 million again, closing at 116 million.
On the same day, "The Wandering Earth" closed at 330 million, with a cumulative total box office officially exceeding 4 billion, with a closing of 4.265 billion.
On Saturday, August 3, "Heroes of Fire" hit a new box office, hitting 138 million.
As of now, the film's box office in the first three days of the first weekend has earned a total of 376 million yuan.
On the other hand, due to the increase in the number of moviegoers on Saturday, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" ushered in a counter-slide, closing at 407 million.
On August 4, the box office of "Heroes of Fire" fell again, closing at 144 million.
The same is true for "The Wandering Earth", which closed at 463 million yuan.
At this point, the cumulative total box office of the film has officially exceeded 5 billion! It took only 10 days to break the previous box office of "Avengers 4: Endgame"!
People's Daily published an article praising the Wandering Earth: "The film integrates China's unique ideas and values, such as family concepts, heroic sentiment, dedication, homeland complex and international cooperation concepts, into the imagination and discussion of the future of mankind, expands the horizon of mankind's vision of a better future, and breaks through the narrative routine of Hollywood science fiction movies! It is worth carrying forward!"
That night, the News Broadcast once again reported that the total box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 5 billion!
The whole network was shocked!
The whole network caused a sensation!
Cheers across the Internet!
At this time, almost no one doubted the goal of "6 billion" that Chen Fei mentioned earlier.
There are even many people shouting to help "The Wandering Earth" sprint to 10 billion!
At the same time, on this day, "Shanghai Fortress" held a grand premiere in the capital.
Chen Fei took Liu Yifei to go shopping, while Guo Fan was holding the invitation letter in a naive manner, and with the mentality of "knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles", he was ready to see what his opponent was like?
