Chapter 260: The Great Earthquake was released, and the box office was shaken
Mingyang Entertainment.
Yang Mi came to the sixth floor again.
Several security guards reluctantly stepped forward and blocked her way.
“I’m looking for Director Li!”
"Ms. Yang, don't embarrass us. You can leave and we won't let you in." said the security captain in charge of security on the sixth floor.
Yang Mi snorted and was about to force her way in.
The security captain shook his head and waved his hand, asking the two female security guards recruited yesterday to drive Yang Mi away.
Yang Mi was pushed into the elevator and stamped her feet angrily.
"Mimi, stop stamping. This is the sixth floor. What to do if something happens." Zeng Jia was so frightened that she trembled in the elevator and hurriedly advised her.
"Li Mingyang, you are just a bastard, I am not Liu Yifei! Just wait for me!" Yang Mi pressed her hand against the elevator door and shouted.
After shouting, I felt better, let go of my hand, hummed a tune, and quietly watched the elevator door slowly close.
......
"This girl is still so hot-tempered." The mountain eagle shook his head.
“Is this the case before?” Li Mingyang asked curiously.
"I used to have a worse temper than I do now. I would just smash things when I got angry. But I've never seen that, from what Li Shaohong said."
"That's probably it."
"This girl has If you don't grasp the potential of a big fire, you will be able to take advantage of others."
"I don't have the heart to think about it now, I just want the box office." Li Mingyang opened the door of the screening room and stood at the door. Outside, please let the mountain carving go in.
The screening room is not big, only about ten square meters, about the size of a bedroom.
The layout inside is very simple, with a three-person sofa, a coffee table, and a 75-inch TV.
Wu Zhikui took his laptop and connected it to the TV's data cable. After everything was done, at Li Mingyang's signal, he played part of the "Your Name" meteor effect.
A 3-minute meteor special effects scene, of which the meteor appears for 160 seconds.
After the mountain eagle finished reading, he signaled to play it again. This time, the mountain eagle watched very slowly, kept shouting stop, and kept thinking.
Three minutes of staring was actually ten minutes.
The mountain eagle leaned on the sofa, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Isn't your painting style too gorgeous?"
"The main thing is to cooperate with the special effects. Realistic special effects cannot create this kind of magic." Style. "
"The color tone is unexpectedly bright and unusual...but there is no sense of incongruity. The storyboard is very good...it has the style of a master. Do you like Hayao Miyazaki very much? asked the mountain eagle.
“I like it, I like Spirited Away the most.”
“The color of the bouquet is used well. This...the color is bolder, dazzling, unfocused, and a bit confusing. This is amazing. Not a good choice.”
"Commercial films don't pay so much attention, as long as the audience likes it."
The mountain eagle opened his mouth and swallowed the words again. The older generation of directors are more or less literary and artistic, even the mountain eagle is not. No exceptions.
"How much did this special effect cost?"
Li Mingyang waved to Wu Zhikui, who left the room, and after a while, he brought in a lot of account books.
Then he turned on the light and left without saying a word.
The mountain eagle didn't bother to look at the account book and said directly: "Give me a specific number."
"Originally it was expected to be 60 million, but now it has been overspent, a total of more than 73 million."
"Why is it so much more?" the mountain eagle asked in surprise.
"It's okay, I'll pay for it myself."
The mountain eagle was silent for a while and turned over the ledger. Even if it was a quick review, it took more than an hour.
"The cost is 130 million...you need 400 million to get back the money!"
"In fact, it doesn't need that much." Li Mingyang picked up the pen and paper and calculated another account for the mountain eagle. .
Taking the paper handed over by Li Mingyang, the mountain eagle touched his chin speechlessly, "You brat, you actually cheated yourself out of 30 million."
"So the actual cost is 100 million, 300 million back. China Film Optoelectronics invested a total of 50 million, 50% of the share, I will take 50% of the share, no problem."
"How to calculate the 30 million? ?”
Enlight China Film invested 50 million, but actually used 20 million, and all 30 million has been spent.
"Of course it is Third Master, you make the decision."
The mountain eagle laughed and praised Li Mingyang for his ability to do things.
"Where is the money?"
"I have asked Old Wu to deliver it to the car." Li Mingyang took out a car key from his pocket and put it on the coffee table.
The mountain eagle picked up the car key, looked at the car key for a while, then looked at Li Mingyang for a while, and finally put the car key into his pocket with a smile.
"Wait for your share first. I'll have someone bring it to you in a while."
"I heard Wang Changtian say that Far Cry has not used tickets to make up for it recently. You When do you plan to use it... It doesn't matter. Not all movies with the theme title are the main theme. You can go ahead and do it boldly."
"Third Master, what do you think about the nine-nine-dollar movie ticket? How? "
The mountain eagle was slightly startled, then shook his head with a wry smile. Young people really leave no room for others to attack!
......
After the next weekend, Far Cry's daily box office was immediately cut in half, with the daily box office hovering around three million.
Even if Big Zhang and Xiao Zhang ‘show off their affection’ on Weibo, they still can’t reverse the decline.
The main reason is the proliferation of online piracy.
Even the King of Guns, which has good quality and reputation, is not immune.
The King of Guns has made 84.5 million at the box office ten days after its premiere, only 15.5 million away from breaking 100 million.
However, with a box office of over 10 million, it took The King of Guns three days to reach over 100 million.
After breaking 100 million, the daily box office was very sluggish, falling to around 2 million, and the follow-up was weak.
At 0:00 on July 22, "Earthquake" directed by Feng Tongtong officially landed in theaters nationwide!
As Feng Pants' annual drama, Earthquake received overwhelming publicity both online and offline before its release.
Especially the world premiere held grandly at the track and field of Tangshan Sports Center on July 12th.
It is an unprecedented event.
15,000 viewers came to watch the video.
In order to cooperate with the premiere of the film in a stadium with thousands of people, Huayi cooperated with IMAX to set up the world's largest IMAX giant screen at the scene. The sound, light and sound effects are also extremely detailed, which can almost take care of the entire audience. Any angle.
Before the premiere, the night sky was getting dark, and the organizers placed a raincoat on each seat, but the entire premiere lasted nearly 4 hours without a drop of rain.
When the audience walked out of the stadium after the premiere, it suddenly started raining heavily. People who had just left the venue were all secretly surprised.
Later on, at the premiere of Yanbei the next day, Feng Pengtong vigorously publicized this incident. The stars of Huayi also thought it was a good sign.
The media also went crazy with all kinds of sensational announcements, writing in great detail, "Heaven and earth are in tears, and thousands of people are shouting," "Heaven and earth are moved, and we burst into tears," and "It rained heavily and the huge curtain was damaged. It's worth it." ’
This is the time of day.
The number of films scheduled for the first day of the earthquake was as high as 90%, which swept all other films into blind spots.
This is a good location.
At the two premieres of Earthquake, all the heavyweights in the Beijing circle gathered, even the boss of Yinghuang came to support.
In addition, deputy heads of many departments above attended the earthquake press conference and delivered speeches.
The industry celebrated together, the media publicized it, and Feng Pants’ golden name as the “King of the Box Office” was added to it.
People and in hand.
At the right time and place, Earthquake made a box office of 36.2 million on its first day of release.
This is 200,000 more than the domestic first-day box office of "Avatar" of 36 million.
Set a new first-day box office record in domestic film history.
In the four days of its first weekend, it grossed 160 million at the box office, setting a new first-weekend box office record for domestic films.
On Sunday, it set a record for the highest single-day box office for a domestic film with 52.5 million yuan.
Feng Pengtong was satisfied with this result. He thanked the audience for their recognition: "To express people's emotions, I think the audience is the most supportive at any time."
Fang Piaohong's At the same time, there are endless criticisms of this film on the Internet.
Some netizens criticized it, saying that it was tear-jerking but did not move the heart, and that even though they cried, it did not touch the inner feelings.
Some netizens also said that this is a movie that "exposes the scars of the nation and makes it difficult for the country to make money".
Feng Tongtong, who has always had a bad temper, couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and go into battle personally, using his real name on Weibo to respond to various doubts.
In response to the statement that "it can make people tear up but not take away their heart", Feng Pengtong responded: "The technology that can control the audience to stop crying and not take it seriously at all is definitely higher than Avatar. Xiao Feng has not yet mastered this special function. You are really flattering me. According to the survey, there are currently no plans to install Fengyoujing to spray tears. "
As for "revealing scars". Feng Xiaogang's response to the criticism was much more intense: "If I was in the hearing room, "Tang" could pull me out and kill me just with this big hat, and my family would have to pay for the gun themselves. According to this logic, I will be jailed. Private Ryan, Schindler's List, and Titanic should also be punished because they were respectively guilty of consuming the fallen soldiers, consuming the suffering of the nation, and consuming the victims of the shipwreck..."
Feng The pants' clamor is justified, but netizens will not be intimidated by a few arguments.
"Where are you today" fired back: "Director Feng, don't be bitter, no one wants to kill you. But let me remind you, "Titanic" did not only shoot the ship scene for five minutes and then switch to New York City. For a generation, "Private Ryan" did not name itself "D-Day". The plot of "Schindler's List" is a real event, and it did not claim 500 million box office under the banner of "spiritual epic"."
Feng Peng Shang Gang went online to argue with netizens. Great directors are very eloquent. In addition, they are thick-skinned and have various statistics to slap him in the face. Netizens generally can't criticize him.
As a result, anxious netizens began to comment on Li Mingyang.
The dispute between Feng and Li has been going on for a long time, lasting for two years.
Back then, Li Mingyang was just a newbie, and he was sprayed by Feng Pants. He didn’t know how to promote, and he was not a member of the industry.
The media, which is not too big a deal to watch the excitement, has been publicizing the contradiction between the two since they got the tacit approval.
As one of the top three directors in the country and the king of Lunar New Year movies, Feng Pengteng has few rivals and can be said to be the director with the strongest box office appeal in the country.
Although Li Mingyang only has one film, Bouquet, as an art film, has broken many records of mainland art films. It is the most successful small film and big film in recent years, and is regarded by the industry as a new generation leader in the film industry. one.
New and old alternate! Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new!
Is it the new man who slays the old gods, or the old gods who slay the new man.
This news is so exciting that entertainment reporters have no news, so they just stir up the news and stir it up again and again. Everyone knows about it.
Feng Pants is afraid of Li Mingyang, which is the news that the media likes to speculate the most.
Netizens commented on Li Mingyang one after another, which made Feng Trousers furious. He threw cups and tables in the company.
"What a shame, I'm just too lazy to argue with a yellow-haired kid. I really think I'm afraid of him, so any trash can dare to compare with me!" Feng Pengtai yelled.
