China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 260 Box Office Results
After the excitement, the premiere officially began.

After the host's simple warm-up, He Hua led the creative team on the stage, then spoke one by one and then returned to his seat, waiting for the movie to start.

At this time, Han Sanping, who was sitting next to He Hua, tilted his head and asked in a low voice: "How much do you think the movie can get at the box office?"

He Hua was also unsure: "I really don't know, this schedule is correct." There was a look of embarrassment on his face.

Han Sanping sighed softly after seeing it: "There is nothing we can do about it. We can only hope for a good result."

When the movie started, the two stopped talking.

After the familiar characters of Longbiao and Youhua Entertainment changed their logo, what appeared in front of the audience was an ancient restaurant:
In the restaurant, there were people drinking and drinking, and there were even actors performing their talents. In a large room, several women dressed in cool clothes were complimenting the potbellied 'Master Huang' in the middle. The waiters on the side were waiting on him cautiously, for fear of upsetting the guests.

"Isn't it said to be modern love? Why is it ancient?"

"I do not know."

There were a few voices of doubt at the movie theater.

Soon another incident occurred on the screen. A group of uniformly dressed people broke into the restaurant with knives. People in the restaurant were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Some people were even frightened and peed their pants:
"The embroidered spring knife and flying fish suit are the royal guards."

The camera quickly moved to the room of 'Master Huang', and the door was kicked open, and the leader, Zhu Yawen, walked in with a gloomy expression:

"Huang Ren? Come with us!"

Two men holding chains stepped forward.

However, Huang Ren was not frightened, and instead directly clashed with them. During the dispute, the candle fell and a fire broke out.
Then the picture blurred, and it turned out that it was a promotional video shot by the 'Dream Making' company founded by Yao Yuan's son and his friends.

"Let me tell you, it turns out to be like this, just like General Patton in "Party A and Party B"."

"But those imperial guards were so handsome. Isn't the leader Zhu Yawen?"

"Seems to be."

Well, this part was shot using costumes from the scenes of "Xiuchundao". Of course, this can also be regarded as a promotion and warm-up for "Xiuchundao".

Next, the movie officially enters the plot:
Yao Yuan and Zhou Beiyan were an old couple. They were once very loving, but their love and passion were wiped out by 30 years of life. The two lived together and quarreled every day. Finally one day, Zhou Beiyan got angry and kicked Yao Yuan out. At home, Yao Yuan didn't want his son to know about it, so he simply found a friend to stay at.

During the quarrel and bickering, although Ge You here was not as glib as before, his pitiful and embarrassed look still caused bursts of chuckles.

These quarrels happen almost every day around everyone, parents, family, neighbors, etc., so everyone was quickly drawn into the story.

After being together for half a lifetime, Yao Yuan was a little confused and lost from lovers to tit-for-tat now, but he had not forgotten the beauty of the past. He gave everything he had and just wanted to relive the good memories.

Yao Yuan, who had lost his enthusiasm for life, decided to accept the mysterious experience provided by the "Dream Company" with the help of his son and friends. The realistic scenes built with movie props and the acting skills of professional actors took him back to the time he met in the bar. On the day of your lover, relive the beautiful love affair where the thunder from the sky stirred up the fire on the earth.

But can everything really happen as expected?The audience began to be emotionally moved by the director.

Under the filter of illusion, Yao Yuan entered the "fake old time".

What are your memories of the 80s?
There are no gorgeous decorations in the store, everything looks ordinary.There was a traffic policeman in a white police uniform standing between the roads, a bus that looked like two loaves of bread joined together, a woman with slightly curly short hair wearing a solid-colored round-brimmed hat, and the all-too-familiar song " Loess Plateau".

Yao Yuan walked into this hotel in a daze. Although the people inside were not very well-dressed, they spoke loudly about their ideals, talked eloquently, and had bright smiles on their faces. Everything was still as Yao Yuan remembered it.

In this way, he accepted it all critically and half-heartedly. He shaved off his sloppy beard in front of the mirror, trying to regain his youth.

On the other side of the mirror, the Dream Company team was also observing him with interest.

All this is strikingly similar to "The Truman Show."

The play within the play is peeled off layer by layer. With the blessing of the interactive world of virtual reality, the art of drama and film can integrate people and play. However, no matter how realistic it is, it is only an advanced tool to help people understand the reality in real life. The emotion is just to cherish the people in front of you and the present day more.

But Yao Yuan once got too involved in the drama and even fell in love with the actress Zhou Bei in the drama. In order to continue to experience this passionate and inspiring life, he had to invest money continuously, and in the end he even sold his real estate. to pay the high fees.

I long to go back to the moment when I first met my lover in my memory, but I never thought that I would fall in love with someone who never appeared in my memory. I have to say that this is really ironic.

At the end of the movie, there is no conventional warm reunion, and Yao Yuan and Zhou Beiyan do not rebuild their old relationship.

The movie is wrapped in a romantic filter, but it actually tells the story of the cruelty of time.

Yao Yuan, who originally expected to revisit Yuanmeng, finally discovered the fragility of love.

Not only was Zhou Beiyan tired of him, but so was he.

Yao Yuan smiled mockingly to himself. If his current obsession with Zhou Bei came true, he and his wife would make the same mistake many years later.

The video is over!

“The scarf I picked up is the love of my youth: rampaging and vigorous;
The scarf not picked up is a marriage in middle age: familiarity and tacit understanding replace passionate impulse.

Suddenly looking back, it is the young you or the young self that makes people's hearts move. "

"Clap clap clap."

After a brief silence, the audience burst into warm applause.

"It's really good. It's worthy of being an award-winning work."

"I feel a bit fake. Whose old man and old lady want to get divorced at such an old age?"

Companion on the side: If you want to compare this, you really have nothing to say.

Most of the people who come here are industry insiders, and everyone can still tell whether a movie is good or bad.

"Sweet Dreams" is indeed a good show, one that gets better and better as you watch it, and it uses the narrative structure of a commercial film to make it not as difficult to understand as other literary and artistic films.

He Hua took the creative team on stage and said some words, and then began to be interviewed by on-site media reporters and film critics.

The questions are the same old ones, they have been asked countless times from the opening of the film in Cannes to now.

After about half an hour, the people at the scene began to disperse slowly, and He Hua had time to thank the guests who came to help.

"The movie is very good. We all see it. As for the results, don't worry about it." Ren Zhonglun patted He Hua on the shoulder.

"I know."

Ren Zhonglun is not very optimistic about "One Day". In his opinion, the upper limit of this movie is just another "33 Days of Love". And it is still in such a fiercely competitive schedule, so the box office results can be imagined.

However, since the overseas copyright of the film has been paid back, there is no need to worry so much. He Hua is a talented person. I hope the performance of this film will not affect his mentality.

These days, the overseas sales team of "A Day Trip" keeps getting good news: North American film producers finally bid 240 million U.S. dollars, and European film producers also gave good prices. Together with other small film producers, the current copyright The transaction volume reached US$1880 million.According to the current exchange rate, the production cost of the movie will be directly covered by double.

Coupled with the advertising placement before the movie, investors like them have already benefited double, so there is nothing to say.

After He Hua saw off Ren Zhonglun, he turned around and met Yang Shoucheng and the Emperor team behind him.

He stepped forward in two steps: "Mr. Yang, thank you for your support."

Yang Shoucheng laughed loudly: "What Mr. He said is wrong. This is also our work. How can we not come?"

"It's a pity that Ting Feng didn't come over because of something, otherwise I would have brought him here to get to know you. They are all young talents."

He Hua understood what he meant. He said, "Don't hit the smiling person." He responded with a smile:

"Your salary is too high. I really couldn't afford it before. This time, didn't I hire Mr. Tony Leung Ka Fai for "Super Body"?"

"It's easy to say. Tingfeng has always been very accommodating to good works."

Now that Yang Shou had said this in Chengdu, He Hua had no choice but to give him face. Just as he was about to answer, a thought crossed his mind:
At the end of "Super Body", didn't the black boss lead people to kill Lucy? There was a very important subordinate character among them. He was the one who first led people to break into the hospital to snatch 3 packs of CPH4. Lucy, who had awakened to 60%, created an air wall and beat her. Confused; and then in the later plot, a gang leader knelt down and picked up a rocket launcher to blast open the door.

This role is quite suitable for Xiao Xie. He looked cool in a suit in "Fury: Serious Case".

So he directly made a tentative suggestion: "How about letting him make a guest appearance in "Super Body"?"

Yang Shoucheng was a little surprised: "Oh? Is it okay?"

He Hua nodded: "I think it should be fine."

"Okay, I'll let him contact you."

Being able to cooperate is a good start, so no matter what the role is, Yang Shoucheng will let Xie Tingfeng fight for it.

From Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" in 08 to He Hua's "Those Years" in 10, and then to "Thailand" at the beginning of this year, more and more mainland directors and mainland actors have emerged, constantly impacting the influence of the Hong Kong circle .

As for Hong Kong, it is still stuck in its ways, and its decline is inevitable.

Yang Shoucheng saw all this clearly, so he moved closer to China Film Group.

Now he also hopes that Xie Tingfeng and others can get out of their comfort zone and actively seek cooperation with mainland forces like He Hua.

Only in this way can they have a future!

Later, Miss Jingtian also came over and congratulated him on making another masterpiece.
She also had a movie released in May called "Shadow Lover", starring Zhang Baizhi and Bangzi actor Kwon Sang-woo. She was the second female lead, and there was no voice at all during this period, but she was used to it.

She felt that she had to watch "Xiu Chun Knife", and the others seemed unreliable.

After a few simple greetings, someone else came over to say hello soon, Feng Shaofeng, sister-in-law, Li Chen, Jiang Shuying, and Li Qin.
Yu Hua is famous now, and He Hua likes to support new people. There are many good film opportunities, so of course they want to look for them.

".The film explores the highs and lows of a lasting marriage with the help of situational reality experiences similar to "Party A and Party B." Instead of dreaming about reliving a certain moment, it is better to discover the beauty in front of you and tell the truth about two eras. A dramatic form that not only examines the relationship between people, but also satirizes the pros and cons of modern technology."

". It looks humorous and light on the outside, but inside it is a serious discussion of life philosophy."

"Director He Hua played new tricks on the old proposition. Love in the 80s was as simple and clear as painting. Just like Yao Yuan said, although people lived in poverty at that time, they were rich in spirit. They communicated with each other, did not play with mobile phones, and had nothing to do with anything. Needs touch-up."

That night, a large number of film critics and self-media posted comments about the movie on Weibo, blogs, and forums.

A group of celebrity guests who attended the movie premiere made various recommendations on Weibo.

That night, #《好梦一天游》# went directly to the top of both Weibo and Baidu searches, and related topics about "好梦一天游" also dominated the list.

Of course, the boost from the Xinlang platform is indispensable.

Soon, major media also reported relevant news:
[The Cannes award-winning film "One Day" is officially released! 】

[Big names gathered at the premiere of "A Day Trip to Dreams"]

["A Day Trip to Dreams" was released and received rave reviews! 】

By now, even people who don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry should know that "A Day Trip" is about to be released.

"One Day Trip" has not only gained momentum in publicity, but its distribution and film schedule are also no less than the most popular "Men in Black 3". Especially in the BJ area, it has received more than 1300 screenings, which is more than "Men in Black 3" premiered nearly a hundred more shows during the same period.

He Hua and Han Sanping have done everything they feel they can do, and now it depends on the audience's reaction.

The next day, the box office on the first day came out, 3760 million.

He Hua is quite satisfied with this result.

His expectation for the movie is between 2-3 million.

A box office of 3 to 8000 million in the first three days of the first weekend is considered a success.

"How much is Men in Black 3?"

"5100"

Well, he shouldn't have asked.He Hua was a little silent.

In the following days, he followed the team to promote in major cities, and then reported the data to everyone on time every day:

6 million on June 2

6 million on June 3

In the three days of the first weekend, the box office was 1.24 million.

Although this result is far inferior to the previous two-day opening weekend of "Avengers" with 1.14 million and "Men in Black 3" with 1.57 million in the first three days, achieving this result during this period has greatly inspired the domestic market. Morale at the film production company.

The film bureau even organized several small-scale meetings with one theme: encouragement.

The market is still our market, and as long as it is an excellent work, the audience will still support it.

The road show continues
In the second week, the movie box office dropped significantly. Although the time was extended, the box office performance was only the same as the first weekend, 1.27 million, and the cumulative box office performance was 2.51 million.

The media predicts that the total box office of the movie should be between 3.5-3.8 million.
