Chapter 541 Weird
The point-and-shoot system has just been trialled, and mainland audiences are still adapting to this form of viewing, so 700 million is very competitive at this stage. It shows that audiences are willing to travel through mountains and rivers, and endure the restrictions of rules and regulations, just to be faster than others see the movie.
"The Chinese Zodiac" is reliable for some screenings. They have big brother Cheng, a limited muscle version of Fang Yi, and sometimes hard-to-find imax-level special effects, and "1942" is a tragic film, and it is also the first film of this work. It has no fan culture.
So Dapao Feng was very happy. On the [-]th, he was doing a road show in Zhengzhou. Some media asked him to estimate the box office. Director Feng said: "I don't make estimates."
"Why?" The reporter thought Feng Dapao was scared.
"I believe that there is no director who has finished making a movie and has no expectations for his own box office. Why didn't he say it this time, because I am afraid of underestimating it."
——Okay, crazy enough, in line with Feng Dapao's nickname.
The media then polished up Feng Dapao's answer and published a draft titled "Director Feng's new film aims at [-] million".
As we all know, Feng Dapao has always boasted about the box office every time a movie is released in recent years. This is his marketing method, and he may not necessarily think so in his what is even more different this time is that Huayi announced at the "Cinema-Producer" symposium led by Zongju, "We have always paid too much to the theaters and too little to the producers—Mainland Films The company should get at least 48% of the box office, otherwise we will not release this movie, and at the same time, it will delay the release of other related movies under Huayi..."
In other words, Huayi is very confident in the box office of "1942", so confident that it wants to use this movie to threaten the master of the theater.
The current movie box office in mainland China is a sharing system. For example, for a box office of 100 yuan, the producer gets 45 yuan, the theater chain gets 55 yuan, and another belongs to the "film development fund". Take it out and talk about it.
45 yuan seems like a small amount, but it has been fought for by many production companies for a long Internet video platforms have a "drama purchase alliance". Producers such as Huayi, Republic Times, and Light also have an unwritten agreement in the industry, that is, to keep the bottom line of 45 yuan, and under the pressure of the producers to form a group , A total of 28 theaters "surrendered", and agreed to divide according to "45:55".
Now that Huayi is still going up, is it up to them to shout slogans?
Things revealed a strange.
Unless "1942" is an epoch-making movie of the level of "Avatar", if there is no such movie in the theater, the audience will turn around and leave!
On the next day, Fang Yi saw the comparison of "1942" and "Zodiac" on the Souhu portal website on the scarf: "Share the box office", "It's not a competition between a snipe and a clam, and it's not a fight between a lion and a tiger."
The reasons are as follows:
First, Fang Yi and Feng Dapao are both the most popular commercial directors in recent years. They were not able to face each other due to various respective films were first-week box office champions during their release.
Second, Fang Yi’s roadshow venues are mainly located in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and the second-tier stronghold. Feng Dapao is different. It may be that the special effects of the movie are not moving enough. They chose to focus on Shaanxi and Henan provinces, and vigorously promote the film in the third-tier and fourth-tier markets. .
Third, the word-of-mouth reviews of the test screenings of the two films are quite good. "China News" commented that "1942" has "a large number of appalling and tragic scenes", and commented that "Zodiac" is "a highly mature commercial blockbuster".
All in all, the two films have very different styles, do not compete with each other, and are of extremely high quality. They are really full of vitality and the momentum of everything.
On the 1942th, that is, the afternoon when Feng Dapao said that "it is impossible to estimate the box office", the literary circles in Henan Province also organized a private event for writers to watch movies, and gave "[-]" a high evaluation. "Since "Alive", I have never seen such a shocking domestic film. Director Feng is already a great director beyond commercial films!"
——Literary world!The literary world has been dead for decades, and no one will buy them. The Chinese don’t like film critics!
But this year is different: because Mr. Mo won the Nobel Prize for Literature this year, which was a major event of the year, benefiting the entire literary circle, and all kinds of cats and dogs have traffic for a while.
All the signs made Fang Yi believe that "1942" would be a good movie. Earlier, he was interviewed by "China Film Report" and talked about the topic of "King vs. King" hyped up on the Internet, and said some scene words:
"Director Feng is a director I respect a lot. My personal relationship with him is not bad. I don't have any reason to believe that he will make a failed movie."
Just talking about the scene is not enough, media reports need more topicality.
Therefore, the host insisted on making Fang Yi a winner, "Director Fang, in your opinion, who can win, is it you or Director Feng?"
Who wins?
Of course I win, who would like the opponent to win?
Cheap?
Fang Yi thought of a more euphemistic remark, and was about to answer, when his eldest brother Cheng, who was also doing a road show, interjected: "Don't ask this kind of question, it's hard for him to answer, I can answer it easily, and I'm not afraid of offending people."
""Zodiac" is my most satisfying movie in the past ten years. Of course we won... I heard that Director Feng wants to get 11 million box office, so we want to get one billion, [-] billion, we are always more than others... ... Director Feng, Feng Dapao has an opinion, let him contact me."
The microphone was passed to Fang Yi again, what else could Fang Yi say, he could only follow along: "Brother is right."
Big brother Cheng has already started a group, so why is he pushing?Can only go up.
Hua Yi seemed to be paying attention to Fang Yi in real time, and Feng Dapao quickly responded, "I'm not afraid of Fang Yi, why? Because I haven't lost before, and I won't now."
He also followed up with a cruel sentence, ""The Chinese Zodiac" is a popcorn movie, you will forget it after watching it, it will not have any impact on your life, but we are different... Forgetting history is betraying history !"
In the evening, a group of people saw Feng Dapao's response when they were doing publicity in the the main creators, Liu Mi brushes the scarf the most, and the task is relatively easy. She is also the first to know the news, and immediately said angrily: "I am annoyed by this kind of person, always trying to teach me something? It seems that he knows everything, as if If I don't watch his movies, I'll be a sinner!"
"Pooh!"
Spit.
Fang Yi was taken aback by Liu Mi's reaction, and thought it was a bit amusing.
Liu Mi is currently a first-line floret in China. She is the heroine and the second actor invited to film Guo Xiaosi's "Little Times".
The first actor to be invited was Fang Yi.
Guo Xiaosi has a bad reputation, but he is willing to sell everything to Fang Yi as a licking dog, and he is willing to invite Fang Yi to be the emperor of "Little Times".
Seeing Fang Yi's expression, Liu Mi turned her gun and said, "If I were as capable as you, I would scold you back immediately, but I can't afford to offend, so I can only vent here..." Her eyes rolled around when she said this , thought of something, and said, "And I'm not in a hurry for you, I'm for myself, because I contributed a lot to this movie, don't get me wrong."
Of course Fang Yi didn't misunderstand. After he signed the marriage certificate, he was completely , Liu Mi only felt that Fang Yi was more ignorant than before. He smiled at him politely, as if he understood him very well, but he went to the movie theater without looking back, and did not listen to Liu Mi's complaints.
Liu Mi stomped her feet and cursed angrily in a low voice: "People are polite, but they are more stupid than before, and they don't know how to stay for a while."
Then, she suddenly widened her eyes, then looked at Fang Yi's back, blinked and rubbed her eyes, she was too smart to guess the clues, and finally felt lost.
