Chapter 623 Red Classic, Exploding Box Office
The giant who locked up the Lunar New Year slot has fallen one place.
La Pei Kang came to the premiere with a bad look on his face.
——This was originally a project led by Han Sanping when he was in power, but the blame fell on him.
No one is wise enough to mention this matter in front of Pei Kang.
Everyone was discussing in private, but on the surface they just pretended nothing happened.
Zhou Yutang's emotional intelligence is definitely fine. They just exchanged greetings and never even mentioned the "Xian Qin" project.
Soon.
Everyone at the venue had their eyes on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom".
This movie is also one of the "Big Three".
There were no fancy performances. Director Xu Ke took Zhang Hanyu, Liang Jiahui, Reyza, Wang Kai, Chen Xiao, Tong Yaya and other crew members to talk about the entire filming process on the stage.
“It was actually not easy to make this movie. Mr. Zhou did a lot of work behind the scenes, including Vision Media’s top CG team.”
“My personal body also appeared during the filming process. Fortunately, the final film basically achieved the ideal effect."
The talented director Xu Ke did not forget to advertise the Northeast: "The snow-capped mountains in the Northeast are beautiful, and there is a chance If so, everyone must go and appreciate Lin Haixueyuan.”
“Thank you, Mr. Zhou, and director Xu, for giving me the opportunity to star in this movie.”
Tong Yaya, who is already a wife, has small dimples on both sides of her cheeks when she smiles, which makes her look very charming: "Little White Pigeon is my father's goddess, and I can be considered a proud ancestor."
"Outsmart" "Powerful Tiger Mountain", a red classic, has an extraordinary status in the hearts of the older generation of Chinese people.
Zhang Hanyu, King Kaikai, Chen Xiao, Reyizha and others also expressed their thoughts.
Enter the movie screening session.
A brief background introduction to the story.
The camera brought everyone's thoughts back to the time when the north wind was blowing and the mountains were covered with snow.
The upright King Kaikai has the perfect image of a veteran cadre.
Tong Yaya's simplicity and purity, Reyza's coquettish and demonic character broke through the boundaries of her previous image, and demonstrated her acting skills very well.
Zhang Hanyu went up the mountain to present the picture, and started talking nonsense with the gangsters in the village. The movie gradually got better.
"A cloud in the northwest sky, a crow fell into a group of phoenixes, and the room was full of heroes. , who is the king and who is the minister.”
"The King of Heaven overpowers the tigers of the earth!"
"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"
"Moha Moha!"
"Speaking at noon, no one has a home. ”
“Why are you blushing?”
"Refreshed!"
"."
"Wow, this was so well shot!"
Zhou Xun, who came to support him, saw this slang dialogue. , I just felt hearty, but I didn’t know what it meant, so I asked in a low voice:
“Boss Zhou, what does this mean?”
"It will be good for you to read more books if you have nothing to do."
Zhou Yutang teased a little, and then gave her a brief explanation of the slang cut.
The tone of the entire movie is fierce and tough.
After the two-hour movie screening ended, the audience’s first feeling after watching the movie was just a sense of pleasure, so much so that after watching the movie, some people held in their urine, clamped their legs together, and hurried to the toilet to free their bladders. .
Big directors such as Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, and Chen Kexin were also present, and everyone had different thoughts.
Their eyes turned to Xu Ke and Zhou Yutang who were chatting and laughing with him.
"This movie starts at least 800 million, and may reach over 1 billion."
Feng Xiaogang said to Xu Fan beside him, with a dazed look on his face and envy in his tone.
Now that I don’t have a box office record of 1 billion, I am embarrassed to call myself the top director in China.
He dreams of making a big splash and reviving the reputation of great directors.
"Xu Kebao's sword is not old yet."
Brother Chen Kai took a deep look at Xu Ke who was talking to Zhou Yutang, then turned to the lady beside him and sighed.
"Brother Kai, I believe you can do it too."
Chen Hong could feel her husband's melancholy about not being able to appreciate his talent, so he gently stroked his palm and comforted her softly.
Listening to the endless thunderous applause in his ears, a smile quietly appeared on the corner of Zhou Yutang's mouth.
That’s it.
This kind of vast rivers and lakes flavor, coupled with red classic stories, and top-notch special effects.
Even if there are slight flaws, it will not have much impact.
Of course the most important thing is to thank Wu Baige.
If the total score of this movie can be given to 8 points, then with Wu Baige's "The Taiping Wheel" as a foil, it can at least achieve the effect of 9 points.
After the movie was screened, the reporter specifically approached Zhou Yutang and asked: "Mr. Zhou, could you please tell me what your box office expectations are for this movie?"
"I think, to be conservative, it's 1 billion."
Zhou Yutang smiled calmly and said: "Of course, what I say doesn't count. It depends on the audience's feedback."
Okay, okay, just ask for one billion, right?
The reporters at the scene were also happy. Isn’t this enough for tomorrow’s breaking news?
The scene was even more uproar.
Although the Chinese film market has begun to take off, there are still very few films that can truly achieve a box office of over 1 billion.
But then I thought about it.
But I don’t feel there is anything dissonant.
Movies with a box office of over 1 billion are probably related to Zhou Yutang.
It was Governor Jiangdong who single-handedly created the 1 billion box office era.
He even pushed the Chinese movie ticket price to 2 billion. He has the confidence to say this!
After the premiere, all the media reporters present received a red envelope.
A reception was also arranged.
Everyone is busy socializing and entertaining.
Zhou Yutang unexpectedly encountered a young man with a round face who came up and offered a toast: "Mr. Zhou, I want to toast you."
At first glance, he seemed familiar, but after a slight change of mind, he immediately remembered it. .
"Xie Miao, you performed well in this drama."
Zhou Yutang took the initiative and said: "Leave your contact information."
"."
Xie Miao was stunned for a long time without reacting.
“WeChat?”
Zhou Yutang reminded.
"Okay, okay, I'll scan for you."
Xie Miao excitedly took out her phone, with trembling hands, scanned the QR code and added Zhou Yutang's WeChat account.
I don’t know if the red wine was too strong, but that round face turned red.
There were many artists at the reception, and most of them were first- and second-tier celebrities in the industry.
Seeing that Zhou Yutang actually added the contact information of this little-known person, I was indescribably envious.
“Honey, I added Zhou Yutang’s WeChat account today!”
The cocktail party was full of big names, and they were all socializing until the end, and no one noticed Xie Miao, the little Kalami.
He drank some wine and directly asked his wife to pick her up. After getting in the car, he couldn't wait to share it with her.
“I have one too.”
Xie Miao’s wife, He Yanni, clenched the steering wheel with both hands. The female driver drove late at night and was a little nervous.
“Huh?”
Xie Miao was slightly stunned.
"Ah, what, you forgot that I acted in "Sword and Sword III"?"
He Yanni looked forward and laughed: "Later, I also acted in "The Weaver Girl of the End of the World" with Shi Shi. Her WeChat I added it, and I also have Hu Ge, Yang Mi, and Tang Yan on WeChat.”
“Honey, your connections are so strong.”
“We are all so different. There's no way we can talk together."
He Yanni stopped the car at the traffic light: "Besides, I'm not taking any roles now, but I usually look at their circle of friends, which is quite interesting."< br>
"Honey, thank you for your hard work."
Xie Miao lowered her head and sighed.
From falling in love with He Yanni to getting married and then having children.
My wife has really sacrificed a lot for this family, and now she is basically withdrawing from the circle.
I only know kung fu and my education is not high. No matter how I look at it, I am the type with no future.
"What are you talking about? We are a family."
"Yes, we are a family."
Xie Miao's eyes gradually became firm: "I will definitely let you live a good life. ."
"It's good now."
He Yanni continued to start the car, suddenly thinking of something, she looked slightly excited: "I heard that Boss Zhou has two numbers. , usually he doesn’t add people to his private number, but tonight he took the initiative to add you on WeChat, maybe he will have projects for you in the future.”
There is never a shortage of beauties around Zhou Yutang.
After the reception, we went back to Zeng Li’s house together. When we talked about Xie Miao, Zeng Li always had a strange feeling,
“This person looks familiar. Where have I seen it?"
"Have you not seen the movie "Letter to Dad" with Kung Fu Emperor and Master Yu Rongguang?"
"Oh, I remember it. ”
The beauty in Tsing Yi suddenly nodded: "I remember, he started out as a child star. He must have filmed several Hong Kong action movies. He has a very good foundation in kung fu. Why is there no news about him recently?"
"The child star has grown up. It’s not easy to be popular.”
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: “After all, only one Yang Mi got ahead.”
Everyone says that you need to be famous early, especially in the entertainment industry.
Da Mimi made her debut as a child star, and in Zhou Xingxing's "Su Qier", she was so cute that she wouldn't pay for her life.
Xie Miao was also very cute when she was little. A round little head and a pair of big black eyes.
After "The Five New Shaolin Patriarchs", he starred in several Hong Kong movies, and then starred in "Letter to Dad" with the Kung Fu Emperor, gaining a certain degree of popularity.
However, at that time, after discussion with Xie Miao’s parents, they decided to let him return to school for education.
As a result, his studies were delayed and his college entrance examination results were not satisfactory. When he re-entered this circle, his exposure was gone and he had to start from scratch again.
This time he played Ma Baoguo in "Take the Tiger Mountain", and Xu Ke's feedback was that his performance was pretty good.
"Are you very optimistic about him?"
"There are too few stars who can play in the mainland now."
Zhou Yutang thought of Xie Miao's vigorous figure, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth : "Only one Wu Jing can carry the banner. Zhao Wenzhuo has not taken the right path and is considered useless. This Xie Miao is stable and can be cultivated if there is an opportunity."
""Taiping Wheel·Part 1" box office reputation It’s bleak, Wu Baige’s talents are exhausted!”
"The genius director Xu Ke fired the first shot of the New Year, and Zhou Yutang boasted that the box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" exceeded 1 billion!"
The next day, the sinking of the Titanic in the East still attracted the most attention news.
The audience probably wants to see where the bottom line of this movie is.
Wu Baige did not disappoint everyone, with a box office of 65 million in the first weekend. The figures were so dismal that it made the producers doubt their lives.
Even the loyal fans of director Wu Baige cannot stand the slow pace of this movie, and even their favorite Baige is not enough to comfort their hearts.
"Peace Wheel" had just set sail and sank directly. It has been expelled from the list of New Year blockbusters.
Now everyone's eyes are on "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". After the premiere, various media rushed to report on it. The first wave of film reviews came out, and they were almost all positive. .
“Living up to the name of a genius director, using a modern and fresh way to tell the main theme story of the previous generation, the film is soul-stirring.”
“Watching this movie on the spot, I have no regrets. Absolutely exciting, absolutely wonderful.”
“I recommend that major directors in the industry cooperate with Jiangdong Entertainment. The quality of the films produced by Zhou Yutang is very high.”
"People from Mudanjiang burst into tears when they saw the snow-covered forest at the premiere!"
Zhou Yutang refreshed the news in the office for a while, and as expected, the milk tea classmate Zhou made the official announcement on Weibo, which was very lively .
I was surprised to see the hot search for "Myeongryang Sea Battle" in South Korea.
It just swept the South Korean Film Daejong Awards, winning four awards: Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Film.
“You bought a lot of hot searches, don’t you really want to cause trouble?”
Zhou Yutang glanced at it, but didn't take it to heart.
The water in the Chinese film industry is very deep, and it’s not that easy to play with sticks.
With the relationship he maintains with theaters, how could it be possible for his competitor "The Battle of Myeongryang" to get a high-ranking film?
Many people in the industry are also waiting to see whether "Victory Tiger Mountain" can first defeat the South Korean masterpiece "The Battle of Myeongryang" and then attack Jiang Wen's "One Step Away".
The film’s promotion plan has also been finalized.
In addition to traditional channels, Maoyan launched a special pre-sale and was strongly promoted on the homepage of Station B.
Xu Ke began to lead the creative team to perform road shows as planned.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the movie to be released.
On the 5th, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" will be released.
The entire film and television industry is paying attention to the attendance of this movie, but the most nervous person is none other than Wu Baige.
The Lunar New Year period is a battleground for military strategists. The two movies "Peace Wheel" and "Powerful Tiger Mountain" were released four days apart.
Although the Eastern Titanic had a bad start, Wu Baige always comforted himself in his heart:
Bite your teeth, hold on, and never give up.
It’s just that I didn’t start well.
In the past few days, I have been buying and selling manuscripts and getting good reviews. What if I can come back to life?
When the box office counterattacks, there may be hope for a Hollywood A-level production jointly produced by China Film, Legend and Universal.
Wu Baige also had his own news channels. When he learned that Zhou Yutang took the initiative to promote the magical resource "The Great Wall", he felt incredible.
At the same time, I was very excited and was invited to submit my own plan.
I can only say that imagination is always beautiful.
The reality is very skinny.
If the invoice for "Taiping Wheel Part 1" was released on the first day, half of Wu Baige's body was buried in the ground.
Then by the time "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" hits the first shot of the Lunar New Year episode, his coffin board has already been nailed to death.
The box office for the zero-hour screening exceeded 8 million. With the screening and pre-sales included, the cumulative box office on the first day was as high as 95.83 million.
This result is more than the box office of "The Wheel" in the first three days of the weekend.
Click!
I looked at the first-day attendance and box office report of "Taking Tiger Mountain" sent by China Film.
Wu Baige’s Taoist heart was broken in response.
In just a few days, the theater schedule of "The Taiping Wheel Part 1" has been cut from 30% to 17%, and it seems that there is still room for decline.
The theaters are not fools. They know very well the quality of a movie.
On the third day of its release, the total box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" reached 256 million, and the single-day box office remained above 80 million.
In the first seven days of its first week, the box office of "Peace Wheel Part 1" was only 121 million, and the single-day box office dropped to just over 10 million, which is really ugly.
Xu Ke is still running road shows, but is in contact with Zhou Yutang every day.
It can be seen that the talented director is full of energy, and his tone is quite exciting when talking about the box office.
Judging from the current situation, this movie is likely to set the peak box office record of his director's career.
Except Zhou Yutang’s Soochow Pictures and Wanda, China Film Group is also the main producer.
For La Pei Kang.
It can only be said that it is painful and happy at the same time.
When Hou Hongliang of Noon Sunshine received the notice to come to Jiangdong Entertainment Building, everyone was a little dizzy:
"Mr. Zhou, if you don't want to act in "Nirvana in Fire", what will happen to this project? ”
“Mr. Hou, don’t worry. ”
Zhou Yutang personally poured tea for Hou Hongliang: "My schedule really can't be accommodated."
"We can postpone the filming to after the new year."
Hou Hongliang tried to persuade Zhou Yutang.
"The final season schedule of "Celebrating More Than Years" after the new year has been set."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "I have another movie in the first half of the year."
Hou Hongliang is like this.
He only needs to make good preparations for "Nirvana in Fire". As the big boss behind the scenes, Zhou Yutang has many things to consider.
Lu Yang's casting for "Xiu Chun Knife 2" is in full swing, and Zhou Yutang will definitely have to check it for him. There will be a few guest scenes by then.
The drama promotion work for the upcoming new year drama "Qing Yu Nian 2" is also in preparation for the final season, which is expected to start filming after the year.
There is also "Operation Mekong" which has just passed the final review and has entered the preparatory stage. Several producers will soon come to Jiangdong to discuss the matter.
In addition, the big project "Xian Qin", which was born out of "The Great Wall", still needs to continue to check for omissions and improve the plot with the screenwriter team in charge.
Zhou Yutang even had to take time to record a variety show on Mango Channel, as well as promote the "Zhou Chu" road show during the Spring Festival, not to mention the time management of many beauties.
Of course, the main reason is that Zhou Yutang doesn't want to make himself so tired.
After taking over "Nirvana in Fire", I am afraid I will have to stay on the set for the rest of the year.
After fighting for so many years and conquering this country, we must relax and enjoy it.
Zhou Yutang was very calm, but Hou Hongliang felt like his sky was falling.
From the very beginning, he had locked in Zhou Yutang's role as Mei Changsu. Now that the governor is busy and there is really no schedule, what can he do?
Zhou Yutang is obviously putting more energy into the final season of "Celebrating More Than Years".
After opening his mouth, Hou Hongliang just sighed: "Mr. Zhou, the crew will probably finish preparations this month. What do you think the protagonist should do?"
"What about Hu Ge? Like? ”
Zhou Yutang thought for a while and recommended a personal choice to Hou Hongliang.
For the role of Mei Changsu, the effect of Zhu Yilong and Hu Ge should be similar. He is elegant and weak.
However, Zhu Yilong is still filming "A Thousand Bones" at the moment, and his schedule at the end of the year is full. However, Tang Ren's No. 1 brother has excepted "Now Now 2" this year and has not taken many roles. Most of the time Addicted to drama.
“Let’s try it first.”
Hou Hongliang nodded reluctantly, and then made a report on the overall project.
The story of "Nirvana in Fire" seems very satisfying at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will realize that there are many unreasonable things.
From a God's perspective, if the settings of "Nirvana in Fire" are followed, Mei Changsu will be able to kill the emperor from the beginning.
The Marshal of the Southern Military Region is his fiancée, and he will obey him with just one word.
The marshal of the border military region in a certain town is a brother, the person who leads the imperial army is an old comrade, and he has an intelligence network covering the world, and the court boss Yan Houye is an old friend.
If Li Yunlong had this lineup, he would dare to lead troops to land in Tokyo.
Mei Changsu just flew into the face of the dragon, not to mention asking the emperor to re-trial Chi Yan's old case, or to confer the title of Supreme Emperor to King Qi.
But he later did a series of things to let the emperor know that he was wrong.
In the final analysis, the thinking of male and female authors is different.
Male authors are more logical, while female authors tend to think more emotionally and are more accustomed to telling stories within a set framework.
The emperor is the emperor.
He just has supreme power.
If it were a male author, it would be "the emperor, whoever has strong soldiers and horses will do it."
Just like in "The Son-in-law", there is also a plot of revenge. When a bloody-handed man slaughters a man with a sword and a golden sword, it is so exciting that it takes off.
But putting aside some shortcomings, this Machiavellian drama does have its merits.
Otherwise, a veteran like Hou Hongliang would not have been thinking about putting it on the small screen for several years.
Zhou Yutang took out his mobile phone and called Hu Ge on the spot,
"Lao Hu, are you busy?"
"Having a meeting in Tangren."
Hu Ge smiled He got up and said, "Boss Zhou, is that the right number? Why did you call me so suddenly?"
Between friends, they basically communicate via WeChat and rarely talk on the phone.
Zhou Yutang said concisely and concisely: "It's like this. Jiangdong and Noon Sunshine have a project with you. You haven't had any filming appointments recently, right?"
"Boss Zhou said, I have a schedule at any time."
< br>Hu Ge reacted: "Wait a minute, are you talking about "Nirvana in Fire"?"
"It's "Nirvana in Fire"."
Wu Baige was expelled from the Lunar New Year Festival After joining the ranks of the Big Three, netizens filled Gu Changwei's place in the Big Three.
"Micro Love", which has been locked on the New Year's Day schedule, has begun to carry out overwhelming publicity. Chen Chichi and Yang Ying have repeatedly made headlines.
One week after its release, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" grossed 539 million With outstanding results, the red classics took the lead in the Lunar New Year stalls.
Many people in the industry have discovered that what Zhou Yutang said seems to be true.
The box office statistics agency has raised the estimated potential of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" to 1.1 billion.
