China entertainment that year eighteen

Chapter 134 Astonishing domestic box office, Tianya.com seeking cooperation (guaranteed third update)

"The left side represents 1999, and the right side represents 2000. Pinch from left to right. This is my New Year's ritual sense."

"Hey, it's so itchy~"

"Don't move, I'm stepping over."

"Stop making trouble, I can't take it anymore..."

"That's not good!"

"You are not serious in broad daylight."

"Isn't this night, where does the light and the sun come from..."

After coming out of the TV station, Lu Heng and Cheng Hao didn't go back directly, but went out for a stroll.

Regarding whether it is popular or not, Lu Heng doesn't think about it now, because countless people on the street are carnival and making noise, it seems that the anger of the neon has been opened up in an instant, and it also makes Lu Heng's heart flutter.

For Chinese people, New Year's Day is not as commemorative as Spring Festival, but it is different if you put the year on the front, not to mention, it is a neon New Year.

From 1999 to 2000, at a small scale, it is called the covenant of the century, and at a high level, it is a leap once in a thousand years!

People are still very sensitive to this time point, and always feel that not commemorating it is like missing the [-] million prize, but in the eyes of Lu Heng, who has been there... It's over, and it doesn't feel like it.

Therefore, when others are commemorating, he is squeezing.

Entering January, it is considered spring, right?Cheng Hao is now a junior, and still a college student.

"The learning ability is good, it is worthy of praise." Lu Heng slapped his hands, shaking slightly.

"I can't learn well if I follow you." Cheng Hao, who had recovered a little bit, his skin was still white and rosy, and he gave Lu Heng a sideways look:
"Let me ask you, before you came here, did you read a lot, so you learned this?"

Faced with her proper brain supplement, Lu Heng really wanted to praise her for being a clever little ghost, so he nodded:

"correct."

"I knew it, I paid attention to these tricks all day long." Cheng Hao snorted.

After some tenderness, Lu Heng went back to his room, and then turned on the phone again.

After dialing Li Xiaoran's phone number, I heard Li Xiaoran's kitten-like voice after a while:
"Why can't you get through on your mobile phone? I almost fell asleep waiting..."

"Just came back from the TV station, I gave it to you without even taking a shower."

"Ah? Then have you eaten? Are you tired? I don't blame you, or I just didn't talk to you on New Year's Eve. I feel a little, a little... um..."

"As long as there is love, every day is a commemoration, dear~bao~"

"Why do you call him that, but it's a nice sound haha."

Lu Heng chatted with her for a while, and finally Li Xiaoran urged him to take a shower and sleep.

"You still have to promote tomorrow morning, you should rest more and pay attention to your body."

"Okay, you also have to remember to eat breakfast."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Heng went to take a shower. He was very honest, saying that if he didn't wash, he didn't wash.

In the morning, Lu Heng still woke up vigorously.

For some people, dividing troops and continuing to fight is a war of attrition, but for Lu Heng, it is a catalyst, a lubricant, and the confidence for the next sprint!Talent is born, persistence is exercise, if you don’t have talent, don’t exercise, do you really want to be called a dog?
And Cheng Hao... Lu Heng saw that she was trying her best and didn't recover a lot until after eating the buffet. Lu Heng laughed and said, "If you don't have diamonds, don't drag me so fast next time."

Cheng Hao rolled his eyes at him: "If I had diamonds, you probably ran away."

Now it's Lu Heng's turn to choke: "Ahem..."

After breakfast, they were taken to the TV station by a bus, where Zhang Guorong was already waiting.

"Long time no see." Greeting them familiarly, the smile on Zhang Guorong's face never stopped.

Previously in Xiangxi, Zhang Guorong spent a pleasant time with them, especially sleeping on the green grass, and talking freely while drinking bamboo wine with everyone, all of which are unforgettable memories for him.

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and it was natural to be delighted to meet again.

The interview on the TV station may have been arranged by a big boss like Isao Matsuoka. Both the host and the film critics are very friendly.

Moreover, Lu Heng found that in such a short period of time, judging from what they said, it was obvious that they had done enough homework.

In addition, two guests were invited, one of them is the director of "Kikujiro's Summer", the famous Takeshi Kitano, and the other is a well-known film critic in Neon Country and a professor of literature at Meiji Gakuin University Sifang Tian Inuhiko.

Both of them are big names in the current Neon Country film circle.

It is not easy to invite one person to stand on the platform, and it is even more difficult to invite two people. The power of Songgang Gong can also be seen, and Lu Heng is also glad that Han Ping is here. The boss is the boss.

But both of them said just now that they watched the movie first, and only accepted the invitation after they were impressed.

Based on Lu Heng's understanding of their present and future, he knows that this is not a polite remark. After all, their status and qualifications are all there.

In front of the camera, Sifang Tian Inuhiko talked eloquently:

"In my opinion, this film expresses the director's attachment to length, a mountain road, a river, a rainbow after the rain, an endless memory, a folk song with a beginning and an end, and a person's life. All these are like A bundle of rope coiled up was slowly pulled out by the narrator until it reached the end of the road."

After finishing speaking, Sifang Tian Inuhiko suddenly laughed:

"Actually, this paragraph was copied by me, and it was taken from the work of one of your Huaxia writers that I particularly like."

"Which one?" Lu Heng became curious.

Sifang Tian Inuhiko said with a smile, "The preface to Yu Hua's "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"."

Lu Heng suddenly realized that at this stage, Yu Hua is the pioneer of Chinese literature in the world. Although there are not many works, they are all well-known, especially "To Live" brought to the world by Lao Mouzi.

No wonder Sifang Tian Inuhiko was called this time. Obviously, if you can see the leopard, you can know that he has a good understanding of Chinese culture.

Sifang Tian Inuhiko continued: "After watching this movie, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the passage Yu Hua said could not be more clear and continuous in "That Man, That Mountain, That Dog"."

Not only Shifang Tian Inuhiko, but Kitano Takeshi also liked this movie very much.

"Just like when I made Kikujiro's movie, I really like this kind of emotion that first suppresses and then rises. It is not so much a person's self-reflection and redemption, but a kind of growth."

Takeshi Kitano sighed: "I am very happy to see such a warm movie in China, just like the history of the development of the world. While ancient Greek philosophers flourished, China also had a grand occasion of contention. Different places, but in At the same time, there was a similar development of literature and art.”

"And now, I am in the Neon Country, and you are in China, and you have made similar movies, which reminds me of the proverb: All roads lead to Rome, and in your China, there is also an idiom that all roads lead to the same end, which makes me think It's amazing."

The interview ended in such a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere, and Han Ping and Huo Jianqi were also related to them.

After the live broadcast of the Red and White Song Concert last night, it was indeed as Aikawa predicted that Lu Heng became popular in Neon. Not only did his album usher in a second wave of peaks, but the movies related to him also began to gain fame—— When a person is interested, he will find everything related to him.

And after this episode of the program was broadcast, the response was also great. After all, it came from the praise of the two celebrities, and their status and qualifications were there, which made people more convincing and naturally whetted the appetite of the audience.

As a result, the next development had a turning point compared with the previous life. Not only did the movie-watching wave come earlier, but it became even more popular.

The planned appearance on the street on the 2nd was temporarily canceled by the Metropolitan Police Department. The reason they gave was that there were too many people during the New Year's Day holiday and the risk was uncontrollable.

But this also reflected Lu Heng's popularity from the side.

Dongbao + Universal, and NHK played support, and after the red envelope song meeting, Lu Heng became the top player in neon overnight, even overshadowing Utada Hikaru.

Even at the same level of popularity, male celebrities are more popular than female celebrities. After all, the current neon is similar to that of Huaxia 20 years later, and the status of women has begun to improve. Naturally, they are willing to spend money on the celebrities they like, while men... Consumption Always sane, or possibly wallet-strapped.

By the afternoon, the box office data for New Year’s Day had come out, and as expected, it had exceeded 100 million yuan. The current exchange rate of 7 yen to 1 yuan is almost 14:700. Converted into Huaxia currency, it also reached more than [-] million yuan.

The box office of more than 700 million in a single day far exceeds the record of Feng Xiaogang's Lunar New Year trilogy in China. After all, as long as such a single-day box office can be maintained for five days, it can surpass the 3300 million box office of "Endless".

Of course, the ticket price of Neon is high, and some theaters even offer discounts. In total, there are more than 6 people. At the same box office, the number of moviegoers in Huaxia is at least 30.

However, Huaxia's population is much larger than that of Neon. Another point is that "Endless" is a comedy, and Han Ping mediates it, and the film schedule is also high. However, "The Mountain" was released on the first day, and many theaters actually It is also underestimated. Even if it is released by Dongbao, the film schedule is also at a medium level.

If the data from the previous two days of Iwanami Theater is added, the total box office is 770 million.

But this data has already made Han Ping and the others overjoyed.

Han Ping and the others saw what Lu Heng was writing there, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"It's okay, I'm writing for fun." Lu Heng said casually.

Cheng Hao pouted: "He is calculating how much money he can earn now."

"Hahahaha!" Han Ping and the others laughed.

In fact, not to mention Lu Heng, Han Ping was also counting just now, but they didn't let them find out.

People are in good spirits every happy event, with a smile on his face all the time, Han Ping teased, "How much did you earn?"

Lu Heng didn't feel any embarrassment, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "If you don't count tax deductions, it's already over a million."

Kang Jianmin nodded: "According to the 40% share of the contract, the producer can get 35 million, and Lu Heng takes [-]%. This is the spectrum if tax is not included."

After finishing speaking, he saw that everyone looked at him strangely, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Isn't that right?"

Huo Jianqi said speechlessly: "Obviously, you did the calculation just now, otherwise you can just open your mouth and tell the data?"

"Hahaha..." They laughed so hard that Kang Jianmin couldn't help laughing himself.

Han Ping smiled and said, "Yes, the box office is selling well, we are all happy, of course we have to pay attention."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Heng: "It's really thanks to Lu Heng. If he hadn't had the courage to stop me from selling out, I'm afraid I would have taken 50 US dollars, more than [-] Huaxia coins. But now, Lu Heng is alone The income is doubled. And it has only been in theaters for three days, and it has only been in full release for one day..."

Kang Jianmin also smiled and said: "Not only the courage, but also Lu Heng's early dedication. Although we have no experience, Lu Heng must have worked hard during that time. I am really lucky."

Of course Lu Heng didn't work hard, but he didn't know how to say that, and waved his hand grandly: "It's all over, and I also made money, and the rewards are amazing haha."

Han Ping patted Lu Heng on the shoulder: "Don't be humble. In fact, if you said you bought the distribution rights of Neon Kingdom for $[-], I would probably sell it to you, or you said You guarantee a minimum of [-] US dollars, and if you take the majority of the rest, I will agree, but you don't. Both Uncle Uncle and your Uncle Kang accept your affection, and it is a big affection."

Kang Jianmin also nodded solemnly: "Yes, Lu Heng has brought us too much."

The domestic media also got the news. They were astonished, and after many verifications that it was true, they still had some doubts and sent the news through TV and newspapers.

These reports also aroused great curiosity among domestic people, so they also bought tickets to watch in theaters one after another.

But after watching it, there were mixed reviews. Some people thought it was a good shot, but more people cursed... Is this fake news?Will this kind of movie be popular in Neon China?

Don't they like Ultraman?

Or an intense monster movie like Godzilla?

Even cartoons?Action movie?
……

At this time, Huaxia, because the Internet is not yet prosperous, resulting in information blockage, they all think that Europe, America and Neon Country are high-end, how can they watch such old-fashioned movies, and they are still dilapidated rural-themed movies?
Although Huaxia viewers questioned, the Internet is not smooth at this time, and there are no endless channels of expression in the future. Only a small number of netizens criticized on the forum, saying that these news are nonsense, and they use their own imagination to 'rationally' analyze one, two, three, how and what There is no way this could happen.

Then, driven by these people, the people around them also scolded the news for nonsense, it must be an advertisement spent by the film studio.

"Who are you kidding? You think we've never been to Neon, so we made up such nonsense on purpose. Do you really think we have no brains?"

"That's right, this crap movie, if you say it's a hit at the box office in some backward areas, it's okay, you say it's in the neon country? They are developed countries, they will watch your stuff?"

"Even if there is Lu Heng here, his reputation in Neon is not as good as ours in Huaxia. Anyway, when we went to see it, even one-tenth of the theaters were not full. This is the case in China. The situation of Neon can be imagined. And know!"

……

But on the CCTV news on the evening of January 1, such a news was broadcast.

"New Year's Day is approaching, and the Neon Kingdom welcomes their New Year, but this year their New Year's Day has become lively because of a movie from our Huaxia."

After the studio cuts, it appears outside the Iwanami Theater in Neon Land.

"This is the Iwanami Cinema in Jimbocho, Edo City. Since the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" from China was released here on December 12, the box office of this theater alone has exceeded 30 million yen in 4 days. "

Where the camera passes, the crowd enters the theater with ticket stubs in their hands, while the broadcast continues:

"Because of its popularity, starting from New Year's Day, the film has been fully screened in theaters across the Neon Country. In just two days, it has earned 2.5 million Neon coins at the box office. Adding the Yanbo Theater, it is equivalent to nearly 2000 million Huaxia coins. .”

At this time, the screen switched, and the crowded screens of theaters kept passing by, and the poster of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was in an eye-catching position.

The screen switched again, and it was the screen in the movie. The father and son were walking in the endless fields. The colors are gorgeous and atmospheric, which is pleasing to the eye.

Voiceover: "This movie is about... the movie is very simple, but why do people in the Neon Country like it so much? We interviewed some audiences at random."

Then, the interview screen——

"It's very touching. It reminds me of how my father and grandpa cared for me when I was a child."

"I would love to have that relationship with my dad, but I've been away from home for a few years."

"Nowadays in the neon country, especially in the cities, it is almost impossible to see such family affection, and some are just busy and indifferent."

"I like this movie because of the relationship between father and son. In the end, Lu Hengjun is very beautiful, and I like him very much."

The interview ended with the witty words of the girl from the neon country, which also made countless viewers in front of the TV smile knowingly.

"The two key words mentioned the most by the people of Neon Country are 'family affection' and 'touching'. Perhaps this is the reason why they are so moved and have such a scale."

This news, which ended with the anchor's words, made everyone who had read the news before suddenly realize: That's how it is.

As for those who questioned before, it is embarrassing.

In one family, the father pointed to the TV and asked his son: "Is this the nonsense you said, is it a lie?"

The son said, "I just felt that..."

"What do you think?" The father said angrily: "There is a saying that is good, if you don't investigate, you don't have the right to speak. Have you investigated?"

"I want to go to Neon Country, you have to let me go?"

"So ambitious! If you can pass the exam, I will send you there, but have you passed the exam?"

"..."

Not to mention now, the future CCTV Evening News will also be the king of ratings. What's more, once it is broadcast at this time, it is equivalent to a blockbuster advertisement for the movie. Many people in China are also attracted to go to the theater to watch this movie .As for whether they praised or scolded after reading it, Lu Heng and the others couldn't hear it.At this time, they are still vigorously promoting.

Following the 1 million on the first day and the increase in film schedule on the second day, it increased by 50% to 1.5 million, and continued to rise on the third day to 1.7 million.

On the 4th, the neon people returned to school and work after the holiday, and the box office dropped, but word of mouth and publicity continued to keep up and ferment, and the box office still exceeded [-] million.

These days, with more and more people watching movies, the total box office is getting higher and higher. Even Lu Heng is so excited that he seems to be beaten every day, not to mention Han Ping and the others, even if they sleep for four or five hours a day I don't feel sleepy.

As of January 1th, despite the decline, it was still nearly 5 million.

And as of 5 o'clock in the evening on the 24th, the total box office including Yanbo Cinema has reached 6.1 million, which is 300 million in Huaxia currency, which has surpassed Feng Xiaogang's movie box office.

At this time, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" has become the single-week box office champion in the Golden Week of the Neon Country, and it is in the limelight for a while!
Even if the 6th and 7th are all working days, the box office will exceed 8000 million.

And on the 8th, it was Saturday again, the box office reached 2 million again, surpassing the highest 1.7 million on the 1.8nd to reach 9 million, and on Sunday the [-]th, it exceeded [-] million!

At the end of this week, the total box office has reached 11.5 billion, which is more than 8000 million when converted into Huaxia currency!
A rough calculation of the return of the producer is also more than 3000 million.

With Lu Heng's 35% share alone, the income is over [-] million!

"We accomplished a feat!" When Han Ping said, his voice was slightly excited.

Even he is like this, let alone Kang Jianmin and the others, every day until now, they feel like they are dreaming.

Who would have thought that a Chinese local movie would earn 8000 million yuan at the box office in Neon Country?
On the other hand, Peng Jianming's signings are going on every day!

This is another income of Lu Heng.

The movie is called "Shan の You Bian Pei Da", and the published novel is also called by this name, but there is a subtitle below it——A Collection of Peng Jianming's Novels.

The cover of the entire book is in a gradient color from green to yellow. There are images of father and son wearing bamboo hats in the haze, and it looks like the effect of watercolor smudging, which is very beautiful.

And on the girdle of the book is a still photo of the movie - the father and son walked across the bridge, with the conspicuous "Yinghua [山の邮便达达] original work" printed on it.

In addition, there are records of awards for movies and novels in China, such as the Golden Pheasant Award for Best Film, Leading and Supporting Actors, as well as awards in Montreal and India, as well as the gimmick of the China Novel Excellence Award.

This book is priced at 1280 neon coins.

However, like movie tickets, there are also discounts for books in Neon Country, ranging from [-]% to [-]% off.

And in the contract that Lu Heng signed with "Xun Bao" and Kodansha, it clearly stated: the price is 1280, and the quoted price is 1050.

According to this price, it is basically [-]% off.

Royalties are called stamp duty in the neon country. Of course, it is not a tax payment, but the part of the publisher's sales amount returned to the author, which is the author's income.

Converted into Huaxia currency, it costs 74 yuan to discount a copy, and Lu Heng takes 10% of the royalties, which means that he can earn 7 yuan 4 by selling a book, but he has to share 2% with Peng Jianming, and Lu Heng gets nearly 6 yuan. block.

Two days ago, the [-] copies of the first printing were sold out, and now the [-] copies of the second printing are sold.

The sales of 30 copies alone can bring Lu Heng [-] in revenue, and it's not the same as the movie he wants to run to promote, it's a lying profit.

Only Peng Jianming has to sign and sell everywhere.

But for him, selling a book and earning more than one yuan is not tiring at all for such a good thing.

You must know that the price of a single book in China is only 12 yuan, and he gets 8% of the royalties, which is not as much as the 2%.

Back then, this collection of novels sold nearly 30 copies in Neon Country in one year.

But now it is more popular than it was back then, certainly not much more.

Even with 30 volumes, after deducting the 170 yuan given to Peng Jianming at the beginning, Lu Heng can still earn more than 100 million yuan. Even after deducting taxes, he can earn more than [-] million yuan without doing anything... You can buy a large apartment in the capital up.

At the end of the night, Peng Jianming couldn't even hold his chopsticks, so he could only use a spoon. He slumped on the chair and sighed:

"Thinking of the next ten or so games, I really feel crazy, even dare to agree to such a thing!"

"There is money to be made. You can earn more than one yuan if you sign a book, and you can earn thousands of yuan in one afternoon." Lu Heng laughed.

With that said, Lu Heng gave Peng Jianming a spoonful of seafood soup with a spoon: "This is nutritious, you can make up for it."

Peng Jianming laughed loudly: "You are cheering me on and telling me to run quickly."

On the 10th, Lu Heng took time to fly to Treasure Island. After all, he promised them that he would go to promote "April Day on Earth".

In addition, the company also called, saying that Tianya.com accepted Lu Heng's intention, and hoped to find a time to talk about it. Lu Heng smiled slightly, thinking that he saw his appeal and influence.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back."
