China entertainment that year eighteen

Chapter 246 What Auntie, Just Sister (Two in One)

Generally, art candidates need to take two exams for the college entrance examination. The first winter and the next spring are the art exams. Liu Qianqian in her previous life also returned to the capital to take part in this time, and then took a real estate advertisement by the way.

If there hadn't been a phone call from You Jianming, the producer of "A Family of Gold Fans", she should have returned to Beijing at the end of August or early September, and then enrolled.

But that phone call made her return to China in June to film her first drama, and then she stayed in Beijing.

And in this life, for blockbusters like "The Family of Gold Fans", just like the previous "Romance in Blood", Lu Heng has already obtained the copyright from Zhang Henshui's children - according to the protection period, it should be from the 67th day of Mr. Zhang's death. Years, until the end of 17 years.

Previously, Chen Kun followed Lu Heng in the filming of "Red Cliff". As the actor of Zhuge Liang, he participated from the beginning to the end. Naturally, he didn't have time to film "Golden Powder", so the script was temporarily put on hold. In fact, similar copyrights... A lot has been won through the initiative, and some are still under pressure for the time being. After all, the projects opened now are already in multi-line operation.

Now that "Red Cliff" is still being promoted, as the company's focus this year, it is natural to focus on this first. At least there is still a while after leaving school, and Lu Heng is not afraid of Liu Qianqian flying.

Of course, Lu Heng didn't know that Liu Qianqian was in the audience. Today's Disney premiere is not small, and they are for film and television entertainment. The company naturally has related theaters, and the largest multi-purpose hall can accommodate thousands of people. It is often used as a major movie release ceremony, and there are even many movies produced by other companies renting venues here.

Not only the entertainment industry, but also the Chinese are not limited to Liu Qianqian and the others. There are also many foreign students and Chinese descendants, and there was still a need to grab tickets before.

Even the bosses from the Consulate General in Los Angeles are here, which shows that they attach importance to it!

Of course, the current Lu Heng is indeed worthy of support, after all, it is a culture going to sea - classic stories from ancient China, funds from China, and actors from China!

The meaning is different from that of Ang Lee, and the producer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is Columbia Company, unlike Lu Heng, who is completely invested by China, and the actors are all Chinese. At least Ang Lee, Michelle Yeoh is Malay .

And Lu Heng and his actors are not only from China, but also from the mainland, which is even more rare.

Although the films of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were also shown in Magnesia before, they were all award-winning literary films. The only film with a commercial style was Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin", but unfortunately it was still too literary. , the box office of North Magnesium was only 126 million yuan, but the box office in the mainland was even worse, only 200 million yuan.

Awards do make people pay attention, but in terms of influence, they are not of the same magnitude as commercial films. The higher the box office, the larger the audience.

The reason why Liu Qianqian and her mother flew over from New York was not only to feel proud, but also to have a sneak peek.

Of course, the main reason is that Lu Heng is also a member of Jingying. After the new semester starts, Lu Heng will be Liu Qianqian's senior, although Lu Heng has spent very little time in school in the past two years.

For Liu Qianqian, this is not only a good role model, but also a good educational opportunity. Of course, it would be even better if she could take the opportunity to get to know her.

As someone who has experienced it, Ms. Xiaoli certainly knows that in many cases, the relationship between classmates is a great network, just like what she just said, the current Lu Heng's status in China's cultural and entertainment industry, after this "Red Cliff", It has basically reached a very high level.

Even if the Huaxia entertainment industry holds a meeting, except for the official, Lu Heng will definitely be in the front row.

However, since Lu Heng is so young, Ms. Xiaoli will inevitably move a little bit. Of course it would be better to make friends and give Liu Qianqian some opportunities, but if it can go further, that would be great.

But there were too many people at the scene, and there were so many bigwigs, not only the film and television companies, but also the consuls stationed in Los Angeles. Naturally, the local officials were also accompanied, so the scene was very formal.

After the end, Lu Heng and his party were surrounded by the media, not to mention going up to flirt, it was difficult to find a needle.

After waiting for a while, they didn't find a chance, so the mother and daughter had to leave disappointed.

"Mom, when will I be able to act in such a big movie?" Liu Qianqian, who was only 15 years old, showed envy in her eyes.

She was taken by her mother to participate in various competitions and performances when she was a child, and when she came to the country of Magnesia, she saw a wider world and naturally yearned for a bigger stage. At first, her mother wanted to train her in stage art, but later Liu Qianqian said that she wanted to be an actress, so she accompanied her back to China to apply for Beijing Film.

Hollywood is out of reach for them now. Even Lu Heng has grown into a leader in the industry. With such achievements, let alone her, many old magnesium actors on the scene are also envious or admired, and there are many The film and television company cast an olive branch and expressed their intention to cooperate.

Lu Heng's film is too mature. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't feel awkward if it was made by a Hollywood director. The smooth and fast-paced plot, as well as the special sound effects, except that the actors are not from the United States, the others are similar to it. Their blockbusters are no different.

But for an ancient blockbuster like Huaxia, it really needs Huaxia people to play it themselves.

But it is impossible for Lu Heng to shoot this kind of film all the time. What if he shoots urban and future science fiction themes?Do we have a chance too?

As for the film company, if they can invest in Lu Heng's films in the future, it is also a good choice.

After all, Lu Heng's movie has already proved his ability - he has mastered the rhythm of the plot, and obviously knows Hollywood blockbusters like the back of his hand, so this movie can be watched regardless of nationality or race.

A director with such ability, as long as he doesn't act like a monster, can make a blockbuster film!

But the consequences were not as expected--

After receiving feedback on the spot, Disney became more confident in the distribution, and then decided not to release it on a small scale like it did with Chinese movies before, but to spread it like some B-production movies in Magnesia!

Of course, the initial row will not be too high.

But even so, the box office on the first day of the painting reached more than 800 million yuan!

At the beginning, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released on weekends, with a box office of 66 on the first day. Of course, it was also related to the fact that "Crouching" had very few openings (screening theaters) at the beginning, because there were only 16 theaters.

What is the concept of the 16th hall, compared with the Chinese films that will be released in the future, even if it is not as good as "Changjin Lake" and "Shuimen Bridge"-there are more than 20 museums in both of them. , It’s no different from putting anti-war films on neon.

Over the past 20 years, Chinese-language movies have been released in Beimei. Its number of openings is always the lowest, and it is a good start against the wind.

There were 16 in the first week of opening, doubled to 31 in the second week, and then continued to rise all the way, 143, 162... With the fermentation of word of mouth, the trend of the box office is stable, and the number of museums is increasing.The peak appeared after the Oscars in March of the following year, soaring to more than 3 halls, and then began to fall back.

From the opening of 66.3 yuan to 1.28 million yuan, almost 190 times the stamina, it does have its strengths. Until Lu Heng came back, it was firmly ranked first in the foreign language film box office of Beimei. The runner-up was Italy's " "Life is Beautiful" has 7300 million, and the third place is "Hero" with more than 5000 million.

But "Hero" had a high box office from the very beginning, because like Lu Heng's "Red Cliff", it was fully screened in more than 600 theaters, with more than 700 million US dollars on the first day, becoming the box office champion of the day, while the first week's With more than [-] million US dollars, it was also the box office champion of the week.

Although "Heroes" and "Red Cliff" opened more than 100 theaters, more than [-] times that of "Lying", the box office is only ten times that, because, like China, the number of theater screens in metropolitan cities is different from that in small cities. The big difference is not that one more museum means a corresponding amount of box office.

But "Red Cliff" is more imposing than "Hero", and the number of openings is about the same, and the achievement is three times higher.

At the beginning, "Hero" was able to win the box office champion on the first day with more than 600 million yuan. Of course, "Red Cliff" had a box office of more than 800 million yuan on the first day. In the past few years, the total box office of China's top rankings has been high.

As time went by, after the first week, the box office of "Red Cliff" also exceeded 4000 million. It was released on August 8, which was a Tuesday, and the count was only counted until Saturday.

"Hero" was the same at the beginning, with a box office of more than 700 million in the first week, and they were not released on a Monday. They were originally released in Magnesia at the end of 02, but they were delayed by Mira until August 04. The day of the release was 8 April 8th, Thursday, that is to say, only the box office of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was counted, with an average of more than 26 million a day.

As for "Red Cliff", the average daily box office is more than 800 million. As for the weekly box office of more than 4000 million, the proper weekly box office champion also exceeds 3 million yuan.

This news not only caused a sensation in Magnesia, but was praised as another superb blockbuster in China after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

When the news spread back to China, the people became even more excited!
When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a big hit in the country, it was blown to the sky by the media, praised and sought after by everyone, and even Zhang Ziyi, the only mainland actor among the protagonists, was also in the limelight!
But this time, from screenwriter to director, from project approval to funding, as well as actors, music, etc., except for special effects, almost all Chinese people, even the big star Lu Heng who has been sought after by the public, directed and acted themselves!

All of a sudden, Lu Heng's reputation soared into the sky!

People used to think that every achievement of Lu Heng was the peak he could reach at his age, but it was only after a while that they realized that it was just a resting place for him to climb, and the next time it will be higher. There are many such experiences. I don't know how to predict what Heng's future will be like.

Before "Red Cliff" was a big hit in East Asia, it had already caused a sensation in the country. Who would have thought that it would still be like this in Magnesia, overturning a Hollywood movie, and rushing to the top of the box office on the first day and the week!

This is from our mainland!

Although Hong Kong and Macau are back, and Baodao is indeed ours, people do have this kind of distinction, and because of development and other reasons in the Mainland, the film and television entertainment industry is indeed a lot slower. As a result, starting from Lu Heng's debut, he brought domestic entertainment along the way. The run begins, and now it's straight up for takeoff!
Although many people in the entertainment industry are envious and jealous of Lu Heng, at this moment, they all admire him!

The key person is only 22, a genius!

After Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian returned to New York where they lived, they also took their relatives and friends to watch the movie after it was released. The standard is very high.

This made mother Liu Xiaoli and her daughter very happy and proud as if they were honored. Liu Xiaoli also said to them:

"The director and lead actor are called Lu Heng, and this film is also invested by his own company. He is a student of the school that Sissy is going to go to soon. He has not graduated from senior year yet."

Originally, the husband Liu Xiaoli found after coming here was not very satisfied with Liu Qianqian going back to the mainland to go to school, and Liu Xiaoli also followed suit, but after hearing this, the objection was not so strong.

"Since this is the case, then go and study hard. I hope to see you in his movie at that time, and it will be on the screen of Magnesia."

Facing her stepfather's expectation, Liu Qianqian nodded: "I will work hard."

On the other hand, after the first day's box office, the weekly box office trend, and word-of-mouth feedback, the "time-honored" Disney of course knows that this movie is stable, and the forecast for the movie's box office has also increased to [-] million. .

This made them very happy, because not only did they also make money, but Lu Heng also promised to invest at least 3000 million yuan in new movies.

Although they felt that such a powerful young man like Lu Heng, since he was optimistic about this pirate movie, did they really have outstanding points that they hadn't discovered, so they began to analyze and judge internally, but...the result of the judgment was similar to last time.

"Could it be that Lu Heng is gambling?"

"Maybe."

"The investment?"

"According to the original plan, our film plan is more than this one. If we spend less, we can invest more in other places, and naturally earn more."

Afterwards, the two sides officially started negotiations on the new movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The previous contract was only Lu Heng's investment of no less than 3000 million magnesium yuan, and it was just an offer to Lu Heng. There was no loss for Disney, but this time it was about the specific details of the film cooperation.

In the end, in the tug-of-war, Lu Heng's investment increased a bit, with an additional 500 million magnesium yuan—he wouldn't spend more if it was higher.

Because he knows that the global box office of the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" in his previous life was more than 6 million yuan. For the cost of 1.4 million yuan, it is a huge profit, and if he invests too much and the return is too high, it will inevitably make people They are jealous and even have other troubles.

Then the contract was signed and came into effect.

After this matter was implemented, Lu Heng also breathed a sigh of relief. It has been a while since he came out. Apart from being in Hollywood, he took his actors to several big cities for publicity.

Next, it's time to return to Huaxia.

However, on the plane back to Huaxia, Lu Heng met an unexpected person, but after counting the time, it was about this time.

During the conversation, when Lu Heng just called Auntie, Liu Xiaoli smiled and said:
"What's your name? Auntie, just sister."
