At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 651 The lowest record?
In the past, watching movies was difficult.

Because there is no channel, only those who have studied movies are eligible to watch movies.

Or you are the director.

It is said that before filming "Ju Dou", A Mou needed to find his feelings. Xiying stepped forward and got him a bunch of love action movies from Japan...

Ah Mou is also great, absorbing a lot of elements, "Ju Dou" is really vigorous.

S, M, Voyeur, Oval, Oedipus, etc.

Today, Ah would definitely not dare to shoot!
From around 2000, China experienced an unprecedented era of digital piracy, from VHS to VCD to DVD and now Blu-ray and high-definition downloads. The channels for watching movies are no longer a problem. The rest is how much time and perseverance you have. .

Watching movies is no longer a privilege.

Therefore, I don’t understand where the superiority of many majors lies. In the Internet age, why is there no problem with aesthetics because of majors?

Isn't Teacher Bi from a major?

He has a master's degree in acting from BJ Film Academy and a doctorate in film and television from BJ University!
Aesthetics okay?
How did people who have no problem with aesthetics tinker with "Chasing Dream Showbiz"?
"But don't watch too much, watch a thousand swords and then know the weapon, play a thousand songs and then know the sound. If you watch too much, you will lose the fun of watching movies!"

"...out of fun?"

"I just unconsciously compare it with classic movies, and then feel boring..."

It’s true, after reading more than 80 movies, you will feel that 20% of the new movies are not worth the time to watch, just like the old movies that you still watch now are less than [-]% of the year...

Boss Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about you?"

"Me? I'm the creator... from a different angle."

While talking, the car stopped at the Twin Towers on Chang'an Street...

……

The filming of "Love Has an Afterlife" is not bad.

After all, there is Shen Xudong's blessing!

But... it is only less than 30%. After all, "Yangtze River No. 7" has only been in theaters for 15 days, "Slam Dunk" has been in theaters for seven days, and "Cao Cao" has only been in theaters for 20 days, and they are all in theaters.

In addition, Valentine's Day itself is a big schedule, and two new films "Wedding 2008" and "Becoming Jane Austen" are released today!
"Wedding 2008" is starring Jiang Wu and produced by Wen Jun.

Wen Jun really has a vision. In the original time and space, after "Crazy Stone" became popular, he asked three protagonists to make three plays respectively, "Wedding 2008", "The Carrot Digging the Strong" and "On the Journey"!
The three films became one, and by the way, Xu Zheng found the confidence to direct the film independently... So there was "People on the Journey: Lost in Thailand"...

Of course, this time, he didn't have the chance to do "People on the Journey", but he also hooked up with Xu Zheng, as if he was doing "Mars Is Nothing".

By the way, with so many movies being released, "Love Has an Afterlife" is under a lot of pressure.

With the current market capacity, it can't hold so much at all, and it can't reach the level of making a lot of money together, so it can only ebb and flow.

Who was eliminated, and who was increased?

Yu Feihong and Qiao Zhenyu fully cooperated with the publicity team, working both online and offline to strive for word of mouth.

In fact, the company is not very optimistic about the market tone of "Love Has an Afterlife".

Still the same sentence, the subject matter is clichéd, and it lacks selling points!
Yu Feihong's "Love Has an Afterlife" focuses on the afterlife, not love, let alone desire!
So, it's very pure, if you want to make a passionate drama and hype it, you can't put together the fragments.

But...the company must invest in publicity and distribution resources—it’s not at its own money anyway.

"At the shooting site, we encountered the torrential rain and mudslides that have never happened in a century. The shooting booth that we worked so hard to build was washed away at once. Because of the bad weather, the crew had to stop working. During that time, hundreds of thousands of dollars were wasted every day. expenses."

"During that time, it was thanks to Xu Dong who came to support the scene... When he came to the set, he didn't need to say anything, everyone was at ease!"

Well, the repeated slice of soup...

By the way, and if the box office is not good, she replied, "Some movies are tricky. Even if the box office fails for a while, I believe that future audiences will still like it!" '

After a day of tossing, I flew to Shanghai around ten o'clock in the evening, and arrived at the hotel at half past eleven.

Qiao Zhenyu had already gone back to the room to rest. After Yu Feihong took a shower, she tried her best to check the process with the staff, and then leaned on the sofa bored...

It's not that I don't want to sleep, I have to wait for the box office on the first day!
Again, after the movie is released.The things you care about naturally become cold numbers at the box office...

There is no way, because the production of a movie does require money. If you think about "Love Has an Afterlife", the production and post-production cost a full 3000 million yuan in production costs.

3 pieces of pre-roll ads were sold, with a return of 900 million...

The remaining money can only be recovered by the box office!
Don't care about the box office, do you care about the reputation of experts?

How much can expert reputation be exchanged for?
What's more, Yu Feihong should know that the situation in "Love Has an Afterlife" is not very good.

So I was even more nervous, how could I go to sleep?
Chatted with the staff one after another

Suddenly the phone vibrated, and I quickly took it out to have a look.It was the email from Chen Xi, and there was another sentence she cared about most: The box office on the first day: 430 million, not bad, work hard, do a good job of publicity and it should be able to reach more than 3000 million, keep going!

After reading this passage, Yu Feihong suddenly had the urge to cry.

I just feel that the hard work during this period has finally paid off - although this reward is still a long way from my goal.

Oh, did Yu Feihong think that the box office of "Love Has an Afterlife" will exceed [-] million!

Judging from the current market performance, there is no hope at all. In fact, 3000 million is not bad. After all, pure love themes and there are no big stars.

Open the email with a computer, and it is the aggregated box office data of major theaters. Among them, "Yangtze River No. 7" won 580 million, which is still No.1, followed by "Love Afterlife" with 430 million, and "Cao Cao" with 380 million. Ranked third, "Slam Dunk" 300 million...

The remaining "Wedding 2008" and "Becoming Jane Austen" are negligible-less than 50.

It shows that these two films were not favored by the theaters from the beginning!

"You guys study again, I'll go back to my room to rest first..."

"Well, Director Yu, good night..."

After greeting the staff, Yu Feihong went upstairs, returned to her room, and lay on the bed, still very excited. She was obviously very tired physically, but her spirit was very excited...

After thinking about it, I simply turned on the computer and looked at word of mouth...

Douban to watch first:
"Director Yu is really ambitious. He dared to make such a movie. I am very satisfied. There are so few works that can touch people's hearts these days!"

"Sure enough, only women know what women want best. A handsome and infatuated lover is still guarding you after his life is exhausted. Let me ask who is not moved. The section of the closed door portrait shows that women want to be appreciated more than love. "Love Has "Afterlife" is much better than "Lust, Caution"!"

"Suddenly I remembered a sentence from Yi Shu's "If there is love in the sky": When we fall in love, the time is always wrong, and it is very miserable. The film wants to be uplifted first, and it is just right. The emotional outburst of the characters at the end pushes the film to a new climax. like very much!"

Of course, there are also bad reviews: ""Love has an afterlife": The most dedicated tea refill waiter in history, the tea is cold, don't refill it for me, can you change the tea?"

"I don't understand what touched Yu Feihong. The hero waited for the heroine under the ginkgo tree for 50 years, not for love, but to make the heroine change from a happy pregnant woman to a sad pregnant woman. Only when he succeeds can he be reincarnated." !"

Seeing her... so angry!

He simply called Shen Xudong and waited for a long time before he connected: "Hello, Teacher Yu..."

"What are you doing?"

"...I just took a shower and got ready for bed, oh, congratulations, "Love Is After Life" made 500 million at the box office on its first day!"

"500?"

"They told me it was 500 million..."

"Is 500 million worthy of congratulations? Is it the lowest opening record for you to participate in a movie?"

"Oh, actually... hiss..."

Yu Feihong felt something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I kicked the table...I'll call you later..."

With that said, Shen Xudong actually hung up the phone.

Director Yu is at a loss...
