The May Day period is also a good time slot.
This year's May Day period in 2029 will be from May 1 (Tuesday) to May 5 (Saturday), a total of 5 days.
For this reason, "Falling Leaves" was scheduled to be released on May 1st, and there were no advance screenings or anything like that. In short, it was directly released on the May Day holiday.
Apart from this, there are currently no other movies scheduled to be released on May Day.
This is interesting.
Because generally speaking, there will be at least five movies scheduled for the May Day period. Many low-budget movies and even some that have no confidence in the National Day and Spring Festival periods will choose the May Day period.
But this year, everyone unexpectedly maintained a tacit understanding.
Apart from the movie "Falling Leaves", no other movie has a release date scheduled.
It's May Day soon.
Is there really no release date?
"No, I don't understand why these movies don't have a release date? Is this Falling Leaves so awesome?"
"I don't understand it either. They won't just let us watch Falling Leaves and Charlotte's Troubles during the May Day holiday, right?"
"Damn, there's still half a month left. If we don't schedule it now, it will be too late."
…
There was some surprise on the Internet at this time.
Because several movies were supposedly scheduled to be released on May Day, but there is no movement at this time.
All the major film producers remained silent.
What the hell? ?
This is neither promoted nor publicized?
Could it be a limited edition? ?
You know, the May Day holiday lasts for 5 days. Is it true that only Falling Leaves will be released during that time? ?
At that time, everyone will watch "Falling Leaves" and "Charlotte's Troubles" in the cinema.
That's right.
At the very least, everyone speculates that "Charlotte's Troubles" will definitely continue to be released, and maybe some people will watch it during the May Day holiday.
But everyone still wants to see the new movie.
On April 20th, a comedy movie "Crazy Lottery" was announced to be released on May 1st.
This movie is quite similar to the previous "The Getaway", basically it stars a bunch of people who often make bad movies. Anyway, they are quite popular with the audience, and no one will criticize them for making bad movies because that's just the standard.
Apart from that, there is nothing much to think about this movie. It is obviously a bad movie. I am not afraid of you saying it is a bad movie. It is a comedy anyway.
After "Crazy Lottery" was scheduled for release, several other movies were also scheduled for release one after another.
What is this? ?
To many people, this seems like a throw-together mess.
It turns out that none of the release dates were set before, because they were all waiting for other films to be scheduled first.
So the scale of the May Day movie schedule is about the same, with a total of 6 movies.
In addition to "Falling Leaves", another military-themed movie "Rescue Agents" has also attracted much attention.
After all, the movie "Rescue Me" is very strong both in terms of the director and the actors.
As pre-sales have not started yet, the specific number of screenings is still unknown.
Anyway, with the release date of the movie "Rescue Me" set, the full cast has also been officially announced, and the 40-second trailer is quite eye-catching.
For the industry, "Falling Leaves" should be a stable success. Now it depends on how much the box office of "Falling Leaves" can get.
Of course, because "Falling Leaves" does not look like a simple comedy movie, especially whether it is Lin Xing in the past or Guo Haishan in the later interviews, it is really hard to say how much the box office of this movie will be.
The box office of most art films is basically a few hundred million, which is considered sky-high.
However, Lin Xing is an exception.
Except for Lin Xing's first film "Killing Ading" which only grossed over 100 million yuan, Lin Xing's other films were better than the last.
Movies like "Sunspots", "Going to Heaven", "Death on Earth" and "Charlotte's Troubles" will only tell everyone that there is no ceiling for Lin Xing's box office.
10 billion is not Lin Xing’s ceiling.
At least if you said this before, everyone would think you were crazy?
But Lin Xing has this ability.
It’s really hard to predict the box office at this time.
Especially the particularity of the movie "Falling Leaves" is even more difficult to predict.
If it were anyone else, they would have said that this movie would flop, but this is Lin Xing's movie.
Lin Xing is undefeated.
At least Lin Xing’s self-made movies have always maintained an unbeaten record, with “Killing Ading” having the lowest box office, but it has been on the rise since then.
Even the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" is over 1 billion.
In short, many people sincerely think that Lin Xing can carry the box office.
Although Lin Xing denied it, after all, Lin Xing said during the filming of "Death on Earth" that he would not be able to support the box office, and the box office of "Death on Earth" was not high after its release.
In this way, it makes sense to say that Lin Xing cannot carry the box office.
This time, "Falling Leaves" is Guo Haishan's first directorial debut, and it is also another art film by Lin Xing after the 10 billion box office.
Yes.
At present, many people suddenly feel that this is a road movie, a comedy, but also an art film.
Lin Xing has always been the top literary and artistic figure. At least for now, no one can take away Lin Xing’s title of the top literary and artistic figure.
This time, after "Charlotte's Troubles", Lin Xing once again made an art film, so how is the box office? ?
As the May Day holiday approaches, especially after the pre-sales for the May Day holiday have started, discussions online have become even more intense.
As for the first day pre-sale of "Fallen Leaves", it is really far ahead.
On the first day of screening, "Falling Leaves" had a 25% share of pre-sales, and within three days, it had already exceeded 100 million yuan in pre-sales.
This is the [Lin Xing Effect].
Because "Charlotte's Troubles" is still in theaters, Lin Xing is currently the most watched one.
Every time the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" increases by 100 million, the popularity will increase by three points.
So, "Falling Leaves" is really lucky.
This is actually the reason why Guo Haishan chose to broadcast the show during the May Day period.
At this time, many people felt that Guo Haishan was still a shrewd and scheming man.
You have to know that this time the release of "Falling Leaves" really had everything going for it, at the right time, in the right place, and with the right people.
At present, because of "Charlotte's Troubles", many people do not really want to fight with Lin Xing's new film again.
The reason is very simple, Lin Xing is invincible now.
Another thing is that new films prefer to be released during the National Day holiday.
Most of the movies during the Spring Festival are cannon fodder, but the movies during the National Day can still make a lot of money.
Lin Xing didn't pay much attention to the outside world's discussions. He was always filming "Soldier Assault".
Finally, with the last scene finished, Lin Xing was also about to finish filming.
On April 30th, Lin Xing finished filming on time.
"Congratulations to Lin Xing for finishing the film."
Zu Ming held a bouquet of flowers and gave it to Lin Xing at this time: "Xing, thank you for your hard work during this period."
In fact, Lin Xing has been really busy on the crew recently.
He didn't just film, Lin Xing also acted with Duan Lingfeng, Wan Hongyu and others.
After all, to be honest, Lin Xing is the senior member of the crew.
Everyone was a little worried when filming started. After all, not only is Lin Xing very popular now, but his status is about to rise. Everyone was really afraid that Lin Xing would be difficult to get along with.
At first, no one believed what the outside world said.
Because many actors who are promoted by the outside world as having good tempers are actually very difficult to get along with on the crew.
Duan Lingfeng is just a supporting actor, and he has seen too many people who act in one way in front of others and another behind their backs.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But I never expected that Lin Xing was exactly the same as the rumors said.
No.
It's even more exaggerated than the rumors.
You have to know that someone of Lin Xing's status must be treated the best, not to mention several assistants around him, even a motor home is standard.
Because most stars don’t stay with the crew, they have their own RVs on the set.
But Lin Xing has nothing.
He was on the set with everyone, and when he was not filming, Lin Xing mingled with everyone and even discussed the plot with them.
There were even several times at night when Lin Xing was still with everyone even when he had no scenes to act, and he even helped everyone rehearse.
In short, Lin Xing is the kind of artist that everyone admires the most and even the one that everyone least expects.
Very good.
This is so good that it is beyond expectations.
The filming was almost finished and everyone was really reluctant to let it go.
"Director Zu, you are the one who is working hard. Why should I be working hard? I am only responsible for filming."
Lin Xing smiled at Zu Ming and said, "I will finish the shooting next. You can continue to work hard."
In addition, Lin Xing also said to everyone: "See you when the show starts."
Next, Lin Xing will return to the imperial capital because tomorrow is the premiere of "Falling Leaves".
"Originally I was going to attend your premiere, but after all, this drama will be released during the National Day holiday, so the next filming is very rushed."
Zu Ming said to Lin Xing: "We won't go to the premiere tomorrow."
"Hey, Director Zu, you're being too formal. Let's get together after we finish filming..."
Lin Xing waved his hand and said.
Originally, Lin Xing knew from the beginning that the crew was in a hurry, so it was impossible for the wrap-up party to be held specifically for Lin Xing.
Lin Xing was naturally aware of this, and he would not force anything.
Zu Ming said, "It doesn't matter how fast we rush. We must see you off tonight."
We still have to shoot tomorrow, so we just had a meal in the evening and basically didn't drink any alcohol.
"Ah Xing, prepare to shoot other movies in the second half of the year..."
Zu Ming asked Lin Xing.
Lin Xing nodded gently: "I do have this plan."
"Zulan has made great progress following me. Can you give her a chance?"
Although Zu Ming had used various repressive methods to educate Zu Lan before, he still helped his daughter at the critical moment.
Because he knew that his daughter actually wanted to work with Lin Xing.
"That's no problem. I was originally planning to wait until your crew finished filming before telling Zulan..."
Lin Xing turned to Zulan and said, "Zulan, don't take any other jobs until the filming of Soldier Assault is finished. You can direct my new movie then."
"good."
Zulan's face showed excitement.
You know, Zulan has always wanted to direct another movie independently, but it is very difficult to direct a movie independently.
Because finding the right one is not easy.
However, Zu Lan proved herself with the movie "Parallel Cohabitation", and at least Zu Ming has changed a lot.
"Teacher Lin, I'd like to toast you."
Duan Lingfeng came to Lin Xing and said, "Thank you for your concern for me. I'll drink this cup."
"You still have to film tomorrow, so don't drink..."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Just keep filming. I believe everyone will know you after this drama becomes popular."
"It's okay, I can drink well."
Duan Lingfeng drank the glass of wine directly.
Everyone is quite confident about Duan Lingfeng's drinking capacity.
In addition to Duan Lingfeng, people like Wan Hongyu, Pan Hai, Zheng Haoxuan and others naturally came to say goodbye to Lin Xing.
Although some of them did not have any rival scenes in "Soldier Assault", Lin Xing also gave Zheng Haoxuan and others some suggestions when discussing the script.
These all come from the experience of veteran actors.
Yes.
For Duan Lingfeng, Wan Hongyu and others, Lin Xing is truly a veteran actor and has taught them a lot of experience.
"To be honest, Ah Xing, if you didn't really have something to do, I would really be reluctant to let you go."
Zu Ming also said jokingly: "You have been working as an assistant director in our crew, and you have also been acting as a performance director. If it weren't for you, my filming this month wouldn't have been so smooth."
Everyone truly witnessed what the almighty Lin Xing was.
Of course, Lin Xing didn't feel anything about these compliments. He waved his hand and said, "Director Zu, if you want to use me for free next time, I'll be a rip-off. Don't praise me so much. I'm a little confused by your praise. What I need recently is not compliments, but cold water. Otherwise, I will be too arrogant..."
Zu Ming also laughed: "Okay, next time, next time I will pour cold water on you, but I won't do it today. Today is your wrap-up party, so I'd better wish your new film a big hit and sell it for another 10 billion..."
Lin Xing shook his head and said, "It would be pretty good if it could sell for 1 billion."
"The pre-sale amount is almost 200 million now, isn't 1 billion just a drop in the bucket?"
Zu Ming felt that Lin Xing was a little too modest now: "Axing, sometimes excessive modesty is pride."
Lin Xing shook his head and said, "I'm really not proud, but I know some things about the movie "Falling Leaves". To be honest, "Falling Leaves" is a heavy movie as a whole. Generally, art films are likely to be well-received but not popular. How big a sensation did "Killing Ading" cause? But wasn't the final box office only more than 100 million? I'm not afraid of anything else now, I'm just afraid that everyone will go to the cinema with too high expectations, which may backfire..."
This is what Lin Xing is most worried about.
Because the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" was so successful, and also because the expectations were placed on "Falling Leaves".
The pre-sale amount is nearly 200 million. How many people here have high expectations?
…
