Chapter 252: Admission with free tickets, the island takes off
Lin Shen secretly took a taxi to the cinema. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cinema, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was his mother's number.
“Mom.”
“Are you sure Li Mingyang is going to participate in the Far Cry road show?”
“I asked Yang Mi, Director Li is already here. ”
"Take Li Yao and Jiang Mengjie."
"Okay..."
Lin Shen was speechless. How long had the two little girls been on the crew? It was a long time coming.
Why bother!
But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only agree.
Helpless, Lin Shen took a taxi back to the hotel and picked up the two women to go to the cinema.
Along the way, the driver stared at the three of them suspiciously, making them unable to speak.
When he got to the cinema and got out of the car, Li Yao said: "Thank you, Brother Lin."
Jiang Mengjie said: "Come in quickly, when will it start."
"It starts at four o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still more than an hour."
The three of them walked into the cinema wearing celebrity three-piece suits, masks, sunglasses and hats.
On the way to the cinema, both Li Yao and Jiang Mengjie were recognized. Only Lin Shen was not recognized and was mistaken for the two women's bodyguards.
It made Lin Shen feel uncomfortable.
Under the escort of theater staff, the three of them entered the theater and came to the third row.
"Hey, Brother Lin." Hu Ge stood up and greeted Lin Shen.
When Lin Shen saw Hu Ge, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled calmly and shook hands with Hu Ge.
Although Lin Shen can be said to be the most popular among the top four students in this class, and is completely incomparable to Hu Ge in terms of fame, he has always relied on his mother, and he has two mothers, Prince Rong Xinda .
That is, he is too talented, looks ordinary, and has average acting skills... He can only work as a supporting actor in the TV industry and a minor role in the movie industry.
Even so, the resources were so good that Hu Ge was jealous...
Lin Shen looked around and saw that the acquaintances who came today were not early, including Wang Changtian. He hurriedly turned around He ran over and greeted Wang Changtian.
After going around in a circle, when Lin Shen came back, he found that Liu Shishi and Li Yao were sitting together, and the two women were chatting happily.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the screening room gradually darkened, the stage was illuminated by spotlights, and the familiar men's style sounded.
The creators of Far Cry appeared on the stage one by one.
Backstage, Li Mingyang kept taking deep breaths, waiting for Xie Nan to call his name.
“Let us welcome Far Cry’s executive producer, Bouquet director Li Mingyang.”
As cheers came one after another, Li Mingyang took off his sunglasses and walked out from behind the scenes.
......
On July 1, The King of Guns, directed by Er Dongsheng and starring Azu and Gu Tianle, entered the summer season and took in 13.5 million at the box office on the first day!
The box office in the first weekend was 38.6 million!
It has become the highest-grossing Chinese-language film of the summer and is now heading towards a box office of 100 million yuan.
This year is the year of the World Cup, and King of Guns coincides with the World Cup's 8-4 match. It is not easy to win this box office. At the same time, it also proves that King of Guns is a very good movie.
However, the film market is changing rapidly. An excellent film does not mean that it will definitely win a good box office. Poor promotion, poor actors, and poor directors will all lead to box office failure.
The King of Guns is produced and distributed by Bernard.
For some unknown reason, Yu Dong did not provide ticket reimbursement for The King of Guns...
The King of Guns was released for eight days and was unstoppable, with a total box office of more than 50 million. The box office trend is good, and the earthquake is so far away, it is almost not a problem to break 100 million.
Far Cry is released on July 9th.
Huanrui helped Yang Mi spend 6 million to subsidize the vote, and Maoyan doubled the subsidy, spending 12 million.
In the previous life, Maoyan was operated independently by Meituan. After it was formed, it separated from Meituan and was independently financed and listed.
This time it is a joint operation between Guangguang and Meituan.
Meituan separated its movie ticket business ahead of schedule and jointly established Maoyan with Enlight, with each party holding 50% of the shares.
It stands to reason that Meituan is the only one, and Guangfa is not qualified to take 50%.
Fifty percent of the light, more than half of it, is from China Film, and the light is held on behalf of the company, but there is no document on the surface. Anyway, the mountain eagle is not afraid. If the light dares to make a moth, a slap will kill it.
China Film Group is a state-owned enterprise and cannot let go of many things, especially when it comes to attracting capital.
China Film has been seeking to go public. It had plans to go public as early as 2004, but it was unable to go public due to various reasons. It was not until 2016 that it was successfully listed and entered the capital market.
The window for listing in 2016 is 10 years. China Film Group jointly invested with 7 companies including CCTV Media, Jiangguang, and China United to establish China Film Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 1.4 billion yuan. shoulders the mission of going public.
Guangguang is rushing to go public, while China Film is trying to go public.
Light is in front and China Film Group is behind. Both sides want to borrow money to make up for this.
Meituan wants to seize the market, but it can only bleed money and use half of its shares to pay for Enlight and China Film.
To be honest, the three parties are quite crazy. There are too many verbal agreements... Li Mingyang feels that the three parties will fight over this matter later.
Ticket redemption is fucking crazy.
Baidu's Nuomi actually didn't start too late, but it was still crushed to death by the three major Internet companies, Alibaba, Tencent, and Meituan.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Mingyang. Ticket subsidy is a double-edged sword, involving too many aspects. It can be said that it is a battleground for military strategists, and no one involved is easy to mess with...
With the bonus of ticket subsidy, Far Cry offered a low-priced ticket of 19.9 to attract the audience, coupled with a series of large-scale Yang Mi stills promoted in the early stage.
The box office reached 10 million on the first day.
However, Tang Bo Hu Dian Qiuxiang 2, which was released at the same time, only had 5 million.
Tang Bohu 2 has a good starring cast, including Huang Xiaoming, Ren Xianqi, Chen Baixiang, Zhang Jingchu, and the popular Hai Paibo.
With Stephen Chow's Tang Bohu at the front, this second film, which is titled as a sequel to Tang Bohu, logically speaking, the box office on the first day should not be so bad. But the truth is that bad.
Tang Bohu’s ticket costs fifty or sixty yuan, and a group purchase costs about forty yuan.
Far Cry broke the bones directly, 19.9.
Both sides are essentially bullshit and traffic movies.
In the face of ticket prices, the marginal movie starring the sweet girl Damimi immediately became the first choice of young people.
Far Cry took in 25 million at the box office in the first three days of its opening weekend.
This result looks good.
Tang Bohu 2 only reached 15 million in the first three days of the weekend.
However, Li Mingyang felt very bad...
This is Far Cry with ticket subsidy!
The original version of Far Cry was released in the summer of 2011, so I didn’t use the ticket reimbursement!
24 million in the first weekend!
It is obviously abnormal to have an additional one million box office by using ticket replacement.
Yang Mi still had the nerve to call him, ask for credit, brag, lick her face and ask for money, and continue to spend money to make up for it.
Breaking 100 million is just around the corner!
Li Mingyang ignored her at the time, finishing the filming of Your Name first and then going back to Far Cry.
And today’s Hangzhou road show is the beginning of his operation of Far Cry.
The quality of ticket reimbursement is directly related to the market prospects of Maoyan. Not only Wang Changtian is here, but also Wang Xin from Meituan.
It's just that most people don't know him.
Following the procedures of the Bouquet Road Show, director Dapeng and one of the starring actors Qiao Shan started a duet again, showing off beer.
The complaining part is gone, now neither of them are barefoot.
One is Zhao Benshan's apprentice, and the other is a theater film director. According to the three times the movie box office, Dapeng is already a qualified film director.
Be aware of the impact when speaking.
"I'm very grateful to the bees who came to support me today, and Mr. Wang of Guangwang. Without his support, this movie would not have been released this summer..."
Yang Mi, bala, bala, thank you a lot. This, gratitude for that, it’s like an awards show.
“What I want to thank most is my good friend Li Mingyang, the producer of Far Cry. I am very grateful to him for giving me this opportunity. I have made several movies, and Far Cry is my first one. The female protagonist movie, the staff behind the scenes just told me that the box office of Far Cry has exceeded 35 million so far. I really appreciate everyone’s support for me..."
Yang Mi can really talk, she has a small mouth and speaks loudly. Still saying that.
Li Mingyang was speechless, and so were the other creators on stage.
Although Yang Mi did not explicitly say that the success of this movie was due to her and all the credit was hers, the way she was so flamboyant and confident and never let go when she got the microphone was simply...silent is better than loud.
"Congratulations to Far Cry for exceeding 35 million at the box office. This is just a new beginning. I believe the box office will get better and better in the future." Xie Nan wanted to take away Yang Mi's microphone and give it to Li Mingyang.
But Yang Mi clung to it.
Xie Nan silently rolled her eyes in her heart. At the premiere, she was afraid that it would be related to Far Cry. I gave you the microphone and said thank you. Now that the box office is good, she was afraid that others would take your credit. .
Who is it...
Xie Nan handed her microphone to Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang took the microphone and smiled lightly, "Actually, I don't have anything to say, I'll let Yang Mi finish it."
The originally silent audience suddenly burst into laughter.
Li Mingyang asked again: "Are there any fans of mine here?"
A few dozen people stood up in the corner, waving their light sticks, and the little bees holding light signs, Compared with the little lions and the candied haws, the gap is huge...
"Thank you very much for coming. I recently wrote a song for you."
When Yang Mi heard that Li Mingyang was going to sing, she frowned. Can you sing? You are not as good as me. Don’t disturb the audience from watching the movie!
Li Mingyang glanced at Wu Zhikui at the console and nodded.
The background music of Lonely Warrior sounded...
Li Mingyang put the microphone to his mouth.
"They are all...brave."
"The wound on your forehead...your...different...the mistakes you made"
"They...don't have to hide...you are shabby The doll...your self"
The beginning of the lonely hero is very slow, like a confession.
The audience did not react much.
When the song reached its climax, Li Mingyang's voice suddenly rose and a war song began!
I love you walking alone in a dark alley
I love you without kneeling
I love you and face despair
……
The audience and staff in the audience were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
After reacting, they all shook their heads to the passionate war songs.
Liu Shishi clapped her hands and shook her head. She recognized the melody of this song. It was the harmonica music played by Li Mingyang on that snowy day. However, she did not expect that the lyrics were so offbeat, interesting, and very appropriate.
The Lonely Brave
The Lonely Brave...Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes?
