China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 802 Small-minded

"The Shout: Mountain" was in its fourth week of release, and the box office inevitably began to decline.

Everyone who wanted to watch it has already watched it, and major video sites have also begun to have corresponding online resources. Basically, except for the die-hard fans of Sun Yi and Liu Yifei who still insist on watching it three or four times, there are no new viewers.

Generally speaking, the release cycle of a movie is about 30 days, about 4-5 weeks. In the last two weeks, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be piecemeal, which is similar to garbage time on the court.

Plus with new movies coming out, most movie fans will shift their attention to the new movies.

What’s more, it’s a Hollywood blockbuster like “The Avengers”.

Thanks to the popularity that "Iron Man" and "Captain America" ​​had accumulated in China, plus the publicity efforts that Disney carried out in China before the movie was released.

As soon as "Avengers" was released, it attracted the attention of the vast majority of domestic movie fans.

Big stars + big production, coupled with the reputation of being produced by the six major Hollywood film studios, are still popular in this era.

In the first week of its release, it earned 4 million yuan at the box office in just 2.08 days, defeating "The Shouting Mountain", which had been released for the third week, and won the weekly box office championship in the mainland.

The film also received very good word of mouth and received praise from most fans and critics.

Liu Yifei was also very curious about this movie and paid close attention to it every day, but she just wouldn't say that she wanted to watch it.

After all, I am from the starry sky, how can I help the enemy for no reason?

I want to see it, but I won’t say it and I will endure it.

The most important thing is that she was afraid that Sun Yi would have some ideas. After all, judging from the release schedule, although there was a time difference of half a month, they could still be considered competitors.

Sun Yi has also been busy these days.

Busy reviewing films.

Guo Fan's "The Martian" has been completed, which took almost 10 months in total.

As the nominal film producer, he basically did nothing except coming up with a script, guiding some preparatory work, and visiting the set during filming.

It would be incompetent to say it out loud.

To put it nicely, it means you trust Guo Fan unconditionally; to put it bluntly, it means you are a hands-off boss.

Fortunately, the film is very well completed. Although there are certain differences from the original film in the previous life, in Sun Yi's opinion, it has well integrated Guo Fan's directing style. The pictures are more clever and the plot is relatively compact. Overall, it can surpass the original work a little bit.

In addition to "The Martian", "The Blade of the Assassin", which started filming almost at the same time, has also been completed.

The "Asian Rising Star Director" event co-organized by Star Sky finally has a work.

Sun Yi helped even less in this movie. He didn't even visit the set. However, the company provided great support in terms of personnel and production.

To be honest, he has never filmed a costume film and does not have much experience in action.

Therefore, in order to avoid being exposed, we should do a good job in logistics.

This is actually an excuse Sun Yi made for being lazy.

Yes, he has never filmed costume dramas or action movies, so he has no experience to speak of.

But the job of a director, like most professions, looks very mysterious before you get started, but it is actually very simple once you get started. The difficult part is to reach a certain level.

As the saying goes, if you master one method, you will master all methods. With Sun Yi's current ability as a director, guiding Lu Yang would be as easy as pie.

So, one is busy, the other is lazy.

It was not until the film was completed and director Lu Yang came to him that he began to fulfill his responsibilities as producer.

"The Blade of the Assassin" is basically the same as the original.

After all, it’s still the same director and the same screenwriter, it’s just that the production staff and investors have changed.

Of course, there are also changes in the actors.

Among the three main brothers, it was Shen Lian or Zhang Zhen, who was highly recommended by director Lu Yang. Starry Sky itself lacked action actors, and Jing Ge's baby face looked too bad in ancient costume, so Sun Yi agreed.

The eldest brother has not changed. He is still Wang Qianyuan recommended by Sun Yi to Lu Yang.

The third brother was changed, and was handed over to Zhang Ruoyun of the company. During that time, Luo Jin also happened to have a schedule and played the role of Eunuch Zhao in the film.

As for the heroine of Blind Sister, she was recommended to Yang Mi by Sun Yi.

Although Sun Yi and Xia Jie are old acquaintances and she had helped him in his Palme d'Or short film, Sun Yi had considered whether to invite her when he formed Starry Sky. However, Xia Jie still joined Tangren like Yuanshikong, and then passively participated in the "bumping into porcelain" publicity.

Sun Yi had no choice. On one side was his wife, and on the other was an old acquaintance. He had to know clearly which was more important. So, he could only forget about them.

In addition to the two films that have just been completed, Sun Yi also paid attention to Brother Jing.

It has to be said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

After that dinner after the New Year and having secured Sun Yi's investment, Wu Jing began his career as a director, taking charge of casting, preparation, and filming, and truly experiencing the glory of being the first person in a crew.

He wrote, directed and acted in the film himself. The female lead was played by his good friend Yu Nan, and the villain in the film was given to the company's teacher Ding Yongdai. It is estimated that if Bai Baoshan hadn't been a jerk, he would have been able to become a boss like that, so he also played himself.

Sun Yi took some time to pay attention to "Wolf Warrior". The progress is very fast and the filming is coming to an end. Even with post-production, it will be completed in about two months.

In other words, if Sun Yi's "Edge of Tomorrow" can start filming as planned and speed up the shooting progress, Star Sky will have at least 4 movies released in the second half of this year.

This is the highest record since the establishment of Star Sky.

It is estimated that this year's financial report will have very attractive numbers.

Of course, then comes the issue of the film’s release date.

There are only so many good schedules, and Starry Sky has 4 of them. In order to avoid fighting among themselves, Sun Yi plans to talk to Mr. Han again. At least he has to open a back door for him.

Of course, before dealing with this matter, you still have to take care of the housework first.

That night, Sun Yi suddenly pulled Liu Yifei out without telling her why, and asked her to go out with him, leaving Liu Yifei completely confused.

"What are you doing? Where are you going? You're being so mysterious."

Sun Yi was driving, smiling, and didn't reply.

Liu Yifei looked at the familiar street outside the car, which was the direction of the company.

"It's so late, what are you doing at the company?"

"You'll know when you get there. Are you afraid that I'll sell it to you?"

"Tsk, I'm not afraid, you don't have the courage."

"Hey you.",

Sun Yi shut up, he really doesn't have the courage to do that. He can't get past his parents.

If he heard that he was going to be sold to their daughter-in-law, he would beat his legs into pieces.

After arriving at the company and parking the car, Sun Yi pressed the button for the second floor in the elevator.

"2nd floor? Why go to the cinema?"

Before Liu Yifei could react, she saw two midnight movie tickets in front of her.

From The Avengers.

Instantly, a hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes. She bit her lips, twisted her body twice, and said insincerely:

"Why did you think of watching a movie? Avengers?"

Sun Yi chuckled, as if he saw through Liu Yifei's little thoughts.

He raised the movie ticket in his hand and said to her:
"If you want to see it, just tell me. Why should I endure it? In your eyes, am I so petty?"

Seeing that she was exposed, Liu Yifei stopped pretending. She wrinkled her nose cutely, took Sun Yi's arm, and smiled sweetly.

"Yes, you are narrow-minded!"
