Chapter 269 Looking forward to it
A certain opening score is 8.9 points, but it should not go up any more this time, and maybe it will slowly drop some.
The group that watched the movie in the early stage is, after all, a niche, and the format is still somewhat different from the TV series.
Speaking of which, a certain fan has always had a good impression of Xiao Chen.
The main reason should be that Xiao Chen’s reputation abroad is relatively well-known and he is recognized by his spiritual motherland.
Therefore, the law of -1 rating for domestic movies did not take effect on him, at least not much.
On the contrary, the Golden Lion Award is a slight bonus.
Chen Linfeng’s fan base still trusts Xiao Chen’s propaganda.
If you know you don’t like watching literary films, you really won’t watch them.
It’s just that some people heard that the film had good reviews, so they couldn’t help but be curious and went to see it, and when they came back, they thought it was okay.
After fans posted their thoughts in a group, more people were attracted to watch it. Of course, the subsequent evaluation will be mixed.
However, in terms of evaluation, I am basically not very disappointed. I just have to be mentally prepared.
In this way, the movie box office in the first weekend (four days) reached 16 million.
Public reputation did not decline much during this period.
This means that the subsequent box office curve will be relatively stable.
Huaying's box office forecast is probably between 50,000 and 60,000 yuan.
In this regard, Chen Linfeng has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Literary films are still in this era.
50 million is enough to enter the top five in the domestic annual box office list.
The subsequent development was indeed in line with the curve. One month after the movie was released, the box office could exceed 60 million.
At this time, other countries in Asia have also entered the pre-publicity stage and will release the film soon.
Bangguo had the best box office performance, with the total number of moviegoers eventually exceeding one million. With the country’s average box office of 40-45 yuan, the final box office was about 43 million.
Neon is slightly lower, about 400 million yen, with a box office of just over 26 million.
In Southeast Asia, the total box office also reached more than 60 million.
With this calculation, the total global box office has steadily exceeded 200 million.
The main contributors to box office revenue are East Asia and Southeast Asia.
Not only that, because it is expected that Xiao Chen will be more popular in these two areas.
When Sister Mei sold the copyright, the price was not low.
A total of 20 million yuan in copyright fees were received. Added together, the profit of a movie is really not low.
Of course, normal film and television production companies cannot calculate this.
Movies starring Chen Linfeng can sell for such high prices.
The main reason is that there was "Star You" in front of me to pave the way. If you include the TV series, it doesn't seem too high.
At the subsequent celebration party, Chen Linfeng gave big red envelopes to the entire crew.
Several key actors and creators each received between 100,000 and 100,000 more, which was a way of sharing the dividends and winning over people's hearts.
Building a good team is not easy, and you can’t just let people poach you.
Rumors about Xiao Chen's generosity and arrogance soon spread throughout the industry. Almost everyone in the industry vaguely knew that the movie "Breaking Drummer" had made a lot of money.
The production companies in the industry are not blind and have already noticed it.
Although I don’t know the specific number, I can probably guess it.
Definitely making a lot of money.
Moreover, Xiao Chen’s popularity and ticket-buying ability are visible to the naked eye throughout Eastern Asia.
Many film and television companies are jealous and want to bring Xiao Chen or Liu Qianqian into their own group.
Unfortunately, with Xiao Chen’s current status, it is basically difficult to join other people’s crews.
Liu Qianqian is also suspected to be bound to Xiao Chen, and has not joined other film crews in recent years.
It makes people want to see it, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Going forward in time, in October, "Times" was once again in China.
There is no way, what I said before was too full, and now the slap in the face comes really fast.
At the beginning, in early April this year, "Times" was very optimistic about Xiao Chen and asserted that he would only take a few years to settle down and make further progress.
However, who would have thought that just a few months later, Xiao Chen would take a big step forward here.
Not only has his popularity skyrocketed throughout eastern Asia, he has also gained the title of King of Heaven.
In terms of movies, he even won the Venice Golden Lion Award, and he has begun to show the style of a master.
Although a master who is less than 20 years old sounds strange no matter how you say it.
Of course, it is a bit incredible for a star to appear on the cover multiple times in a short period of time.
So, this time it’s Liu Qianqian and Chen Linfeng together.
As a combination of "Star You" and "Explosive Drummer", the two have really made a huge impact.
Although Sissi was a little bit confused in "The Exploding Drummer".
The two went to Hong Kong Island together to participate in the filming.
This time, Chen Linfeng failed to hide the news. He was paying too much attention and could let the news out casually.
The paparazzi on Hong Kong Island, during this period, took pictures almost unscrupulously, regardless of whether it was a private space.
This was the first time he saw why Hong Kong paparazzi are so annoying.
In newspapers on Hong Kong Island, reports on Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian occupied most of the pages for a while. Chen Linfeng set foot on Hong Kong Island again after a long absence, and his mood and perception were completely different from those back then.
The level of attention received is also very different.
In order to promote their upcoming cooperation, Yinghuang also specially gathered its stars and held a welcome party.
At the meeting, it was announced to reporters and everyone present that the follow-up plan for a new film written by Xiao Chen and starring Fang Long would be announced.
Everyone’s interest was instantly aroused.
"Will Chen Sheng star in the film?"
"Can you reveal some general content? Will Brother Fang Long be a policeman or an adventurer?"
"Will Liu Qianqian star in the film?" Huh? "
The reporters asked questions one after another. Yang Shoucheng was there to receive the reporters.
Chen Linfeng continued to drink the drink as he was used to.
Xie Tingfeng was not present. He thought he was hurt last time and did not want to meet Xiao Chen again in the near future.
Fang Long raised a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Chen Linfeng.
“I received the complete script from you. The story is very well written. Do you have any suggestions for the two important Chinese female characters in it, one of which is the beating girl An An?”
This is considered reciprocating a favor. The underlying meaning is to let the other party recommend this role.
Of course Chen Linfeng had his own ideas when he changed his name so obviously.
He held up the cup and gestured towards Liu Qianqian.
"What do you think about Qianqian's performance?"
Liu Qianqian was chatting with several female stars under Yinghuang. From a distance, she saw Xiaofeng pointing at herself, not knowing why. Tilted his head.
Fang Long looked very happy, "Of course that would be great. If she plays this role, she can earn tens of millions more box office."
Speaking of this, He asked again, "Xiao Chen, do you want to play a role in the movie? If you come, we can expand the plot of the second male lead.
I originally wanted to set the characters of the second male lead and An An as a conflicting couple. Now that you are here, you can try to change it to this. "
Chen Linfeng waved his hand, "I don't want it anymore. These two are just the thugs. Just make them look good. Don't put any effort on them. ”
The action scenes and various scenes of Zodiac in the previous life are very good, but there are some flaws in the plot twist.
On this basis, Chen Linfeng compressed some of the plot of the original work and gave the characters He changed the character's motivation and added some plot points to make it more reasonable.
He didn't want the integrity of the script to be destroyed for other reasons.
Moreover, his follow-up plans have basically been made, and they conflict with the filming schedule of "Twelve Zodiac Signs".
Taking these two reasons together, Fang Long could only give up this idea with regret.
Especially the latter, there is no way around schedule conflicts.
After Chen and Liu completed their assigned tasks on Hong Kong Island, they immediately returned to the mainland.
Liu Qianqian has recently been involved in many commercial activities and endorsements, which takes time.
Not only that, Chen Linfeng had already given her the script of the new drama early.
The new role is another breakthrough for Sissi, and she also needs to spend time preparing.
Not only her, but also Shi Xiaolong and Shu Chang, who had already decided to join the crew, received the script.
Started preparations in advance.
Although Shi Xiaolong's role does not require high acting skills, he is a martial arts actor, so it is still very stressful for him to suddenly play a purely literary role.
Shu Chang is obviously more comfortable.
My sister, who is the second eldest in the family, has a younger brother, who is not taken seriously.
A kind-hearted girl with a somewhat flattering personality, Shu Chang just couldn't get enough of her true self.
So it seems more comfortable.
Chen Linfeng's role is not very difficult. He mainly writes at home.
The previous script for "Twelve Zodiac Signs" actually didn't take him much time.
Because there are tool screenwriters to help expand the plot, Chen Linfeng is only responsible for the final revision and acceptance.
The focus is still on the second book of "Sherlock".
After returning to Yanjing and working on the manuscript for another half month, I finally finished the new book.
The main content of this book is interspersed with the content of the second season of "Sherlock" and "Sherlock Holmes 1&2" in the previous life.
The second season of the original "Sherlock" only used part of the content to introduce the heroine Irene Adler, and then it mainly focused on the plot of the case in the movie.
Since there had been such a plan for a long time, when Chen Linfeng wrote the first book, there was a setting for Sherlock to have some skills, which was the same as the setting for the movie version.
It just connects to the second book, and there is more description about it.
Coupled with Chen Linfeng's graphic description, the reading experience is unexpectedly good.
At least that’s what Sister Mei and Sissi said after reading it.
"Okay, this book is also completed perfectly. Then I will contact various publishing houses for translation and printing work."
Sister Mei went out in a hurry.
She has been paying attention to Chen Linfeng's writing progress recently. During the time she went to Hong Kong Island, she had a hunch that she was almost done.
We have notified various places in advance to start preheating for the new book.
Book fans from various countries, especially the UK, have been looking forward to it for a long time.
