Chapter 266: The Immortal Who Wants to Make a Comeback
Using songs to drive movie box office is a good publicity method.
In Li Mingyang's impression, the most successful film is "The Year in a Hurry".
The love announcement was not done well, and the schedule was almost like death.
Love Announcement will be released on Thursday, August 12th, 13.14.15 is the three-day opening weekend, and August 16th is the Chinese Valentine's Day.
There is nothing wrong with choosing this schedule. When a movie is released, the highest box office period is during the opening weekend.
The first weekend box office of many movies accounts for more than 40% of the total box office.
The idea of a five-day streak is a good one.
But Shrek 4 No. 16 is coming! Suicide Squad No. 20 is here!
Colliding head-on with Shrek 4 and The Expendables, something even Feng Pants didn’t dare to do, Wang Lihong actually did it...
The box office of Love Announcement was 8.2 million on the first day, 6.5 million on the next day, 4.3 million on Saturday, and 4.1 million on Sunday... This box office trend is really ugly.
It wouldn't have been so bad.
Who asked the Filipino fans to spray the bee and the little lion to break the defense, but the two companies used ticket supplies to blast them.
On the first weekend, the box office did not rise but fell. Wang Lihong and Liu Yifei were both anxious and crazy.
However, the most popular distribution companies for domestic entertainment promotions are Huayi and Guangguang.
It just so happened that Liu Yifei had offended both families.
Plus...
Guang Guang and Yinghuang were in a very unhappy situation and were too lazy to care about the love announcement.
Wang Lihong wanted to spend money to make up for it, but there was no way.
With nothing to do, and heartbroken by the box office drop, Liu Yifei and Wang Lihong approached Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang was too lazy to care about the life and death of the two of them, but he was very happy to learn that Liu Yifei was not doing well, and he did not reject it outright.
Just fool two people into playing.
Liu Yifei is really being fooled.
For Wang Lihong, Li Mingyang wanted to trick him into helping, so he sang the four songs "Your Name".
I really can’t think of a new theme song.
Only the original version can be used.
Wang Lihong originally promised to help and gave her a friendship price of four million, plus the right to sing.
The price is sincere.
Not only does he have a song, but he can also be promoted later.
Do multiple things with one stone.
Who knows... On the 16th, Chinese Valentine's Day, the box office of Love Announcement reached its peak, with the box office exceeding 10 million for the first time, reaching 11 million.
Then Wang Lihong died and there was no news.
No answering calls, no reply to text messages.
August 17, Mingyang Entertainment.
“There are really two kinds of people that can’t be contained in one movie...”
Li Mingyang shook his head and blocked Wang Lihong.
Your Name has entered the final finishing stage. The editing, special effects, color grading, soundtrack, and subtitles are basically completed, but some details need to be adjusted.
The most uncomfortable thing is that there is still one theme song missing.
It is really difficult to match the movie scene and theme of your name and also make it sound good.
After a busy morning and no clue, Li Mingyang was going to drive out for a walk in the afternoon to find some inspiration.
Just when he was going out, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Liu Yifei's call.
"It's rare that you actually called me..." Li Mingyang said.
"Eh..."
Liu Yifei sighed, feeling terrible.
“You are so young, why are you sighing!”
"The box office is so low, what's there to be happy about..."
"The box office is not bad, it collected 34.1 million in five days, which is better than Far Cry."
"But Honey The box office of Honey’s Island has exceeded 100 million.”
“You also want to exceed 100 million?”
“Of course”
"I think too much, it would be good if it can break 50 million."
"..."
"Is there something wrong with Wang Lihong's brain? He actually chose such a schedule and directly talked to Shrek 4 and The Expendables collide, it’s really looking for death!”
Liu Yifei was slightly stunned. Two days ago, Li Mingyang praised Wang Lihong for being a good man, singing for him, and saving others, but today he directly cursed Wang Lihong for looking for death! , this attitude change is too fast...
"Does he not want to help you sing?"
"What do you think?" Li Mingyang asked.
Liu Yifei sighed again, "Their expectation for the movie box office is 50 million... Now it has almost reached the target."
"They are the Four Little Kings after all."
“It’s better than The Untold Secret…”
“Isn’t this self-deception? The Untold Secret was among the top ten domestic films back then.”
"Eh..." Liu Yifei sighed again.
"Don't sigh, you will sigh later, this is just the beginning."
"I find that you really don't want to see me...Jing Tian's beautiful boss, I She also mobilized her fans to book the theater for her. Unexpectedly... when my movie was released, I was beaten up by the beautiful boss. Couldn't you help me get a ticket replacement? I heard them say that it was you who came up with the ticket replacement. "< br>
"It has nothing to do with me, don't accuse me falsely. Okay, hang up now."
"Wait, he won't sing for you, I will sing for you."
"It's just your singing skills."
"Repair your voice!"
"Forget it..."
"You made such a big bet with Director Feng, let me help you Singing the theme song can also help you promote it. You can achieve multiple things with one stone. I have more fans than Mimi. It’s not like you don’t know. I just don’t have the ticket to make up for it this time. Otherwise, how could the box office be so low? It would have already exceeded 100 million. ."
"Hehe."
Li Mingyang laughed and hung up the phone.
"Breaking 100 million...you really think the ticket compensation is omnipotent!"
Li Mingyang left Mingyang Entertainment and went to the restaurant opposite the company to eat.
The shops on the entire street opposite Mingyang Entertainment almost rely on Mingyang Entertainment to support themselves. From the original five small restaurants and two small supermarkets, in less than a year, the entire street was completely transformed, with more than a dozen large hotels, more than a dozen boutique women's clothing stores, as well as many Internet cafes, supermarkets, coffee shops, Small clinic.
It is the most prosperous area nearby.
Li Mingyang wanted to eat hot pot today, so he went to a hot pot restaurant. When the boss saw him, he enthusiastically took him to a special box.
Not long after, the red and white mandarin duck pot arrived, along with more than a dozen of his favorite beef and mutton, vegetables, and ice powder.
Eating hot pot, blowing the air conditioner, and drinking cold beer in summer is really comfortable.
After eating and drinking, Li Mingyang picked up his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message.
There are no text messages, but there are a lot of QQ messages. I only reply to important people, but not to unimportant ones.
After replying to the message, when Li Mingyang was about to leave, Liu Yifei called again.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m at KTV. I’ll sing a few songs for you. My singing is pretty good.”
“You sing. ”
Li Mingyang asked Liu Yifei to sing, but he never considered Liu Yifei. As for the female singer, he had already found the one he liked.
In fact, it was not him who found it.
It was Yao Beina recommended by Zheng Dalong.
Liu Yifei’s best friend and good sister.
Yao's father and Liu's mother were colleagues at the opera house, so the two families had close contacts, and the two girls also played together.
Although Yao Beina looks average, her singing ability is inferior to that of Liu Yifei.
She sang many songs in The Legend of Zhen Huan.
Li Mingyang put his cell phone on the table and turned on the speakerphone. Liu Yifei’s first song was Difficult, Big Ship’s My Heart Will Go On.
The second song is still in English, Swift’s famous song LoveStory.
"How do I sing? Does it sound good?"
"Um..."
To be fair, it's okay.
Singing is pretty good among actresses.
Better than Mimi.
"Is it good or not?" Liu Yifei said coquettishly.
Li Mingyang was thinking about how to refuse when he suddenly heard a new song coming from the other side. At first, there was only background music. After a while, there was suddenly a sound.
Another English song.
But it is different from the lyrical English song My Heart Will Go On and LoveStory.
This is an electronic music song.
TiKToK means Douyin.
Who is this! It’s so strong, it actually sounds like electronic music!
The melody of electronic music echoed in my mind, and the English lyrics lingered in my ears. Suddenly, something seemed to open up.
Li Mingyang closed his eyes and started thinking.
Suddenly he opened his eyes, and he finally found the theme song that fits your name perfectly.
Liu Yifei didn't hear Li Mingyang's reply for a long time, and suddenly looked back at Yao Beina, who was singing happily.
"Are you listening to her singing?"
"Well, she sings much better than you."
"Would you like me to introduce you to her? She sings superbly." Liu Yifei smiled.
“No, that’s it.”
Dududu...
"Hang up the phone now?" Liu Yifei's eyes widened. She was having a good conversation just now, but she suddenly hung up the phone. She felt something was wrong, and she had a feeling of déjà vu.
"Sissi, do you want to sing anymore?"
Liu Yifei raised her head and glanced at Yao Beina, "I won't sing anymore, I'm not in the mood anymore."
"What's wrong? ? Who made our Sissi angry? "
"Who else could it be... so unlucky..."
"Li Mingyang? Did you just call Li Mingyang? I went and he actually answered your call!" Yao Beina said in shock.
When Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately became angry and rolled her eyes at Yao Beina.
"Sissi, that's not what I meant, I just felt like that..." Yao Beina's description became darker and darker.
“You also said that I was already in a bad mood, but you still rubbed salt into my wounds.”
“Okay, okay, let’s not talk anymore.”
< br>
Yao Beina chose another song, Hiroshima Love, and handed the microphone to Liu Yifei, asking to sing a love song with Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei sang a few words, then suddenly put down the microphone and grabbed Yao Beina's hand, "Sister Yao, can you do me a favor and take me to Hengdian."
" This is nothing to do, just go ahead.”
“My mother won’t let me!”
Yao Beina was about to agree when she suddenly felt a vibration under her buttocks. She stood up and saw that it was her. When I picked up his cell phone, I saw a dozen missed calls, all from Li Mingyang.
"Sissi, we'll talk later. I'll make a call first." Yao Beina dialed the number as she spoke and walked out.
Liu Yifei hummed and stood up happily, "When Sister Yao comes back, we will go to Hengdian together. I give it to someone so sincerely, so he should be a little bit touched... By the way, Let Shu Chang take Juanjuan along, it will be easier for the child to speak. "
Liu Yifei wants to use votes to make a comeback.
Yinghuang and Guangguang had a falling out. Now only Li Mingyang can help open this hole. She doesn't want much, as long as she can invest 10 million.
As long as the gap can be filled by invoicing, Wang Lihong said that 50 million is almost enough, but if it can exceed 100 million, who doesn't want to exceed 100 million.
The more Liu Yifei thought about it, the more feasible it became. She even thought about where to get the money and spent money to make up for it.
Crack!
The door of the private room opened, and Yao Beina said apologetically: "Sissi, I have to leave right away. Li Mingyang asked me to go back and record the song."
Liu Yifei was stunned, "Li Mingyang asked you to record a song? "
"Yes! I was introduced by Director Zheng Dalong. I have to go back quickly. I bought it. Don't run around. Go back to the hotel early, others are worried," Yao Beina said as she picked up her bag and waved goodbye.
"..."
Liu Yifei was speechless. Seeing Yao Beina leaving, she really wanted to cry without tears...
She had thought of everything...
But she didn't Thinking that Yao Beina and Li Mingyang had known each other for a long time.
