Chapter 268 Two New Items

“Good reputation!”

In his spare time, Li Mu took a look at the reputation of "Xiu Chun Dao".

Screenings have also started, and the audience quite approves of this martial arts film.

Li Mu was not worried about the premiere. After all, Mengying's appeal was there, and Ning Hao and others were still in the imperial capital.

The premiere of "Guan Yunchang" was two days earlier than "Xiu Chun Dao", and the momentum was quite large. After all, the big production starred Donnie Yen, one of the more popular kung fu stars today.

Jiang Wen didn't attend, so he probably expected it. When a supporting character like him can be used as a protagonist to promote, you often have to be careful, because the movie may really have no expectations.

"'Zhen Wu Jiang Wen', this 'box office combination' of 8 million plus 7 million, our target is 6 million, it is very reasonable!"

The main creator has already made a statement, with unabashed ambition.

"A good man ends up with a broken back."

"A hero cherishes a hero, and his back slowly breaks."

The film crew even used a broken back to promote the film, which was really unexpected.

Liu Weijuan is sitting in Mengying, Lu Yang's biggest opponent in "Xiu Chun Dao", so she naturally has to pay more attention to it.

"How much was the box office of "Guan Changyun" on the first day?"

"Less than 1500 million!"

"Huh?" Liu Weijuan almost couldn't hold back her smile. Why did she brag about 6 million? She was risking her life.

The boss' prediction of box office is more reliable, Liu Weijuan suddenly thought.

At least Li Mu's predictions were never that outrageous. The first-day box office of less than 1500 million would be ridiculous if it could exceed 2 million, unless the reputation exploded.

But Liu Weijuan glanced at it and found that the online reviews were almost overwhelmingly negative. And because "Warring States" came first, the audience was even more intolerable this time.

"What evil did I do this year? I watched "Warring States" and "Guan Yunchang"."

"Jiang Wen tried his best to repay the favor, but Jiang Caocao said he couldn't take him away!"

"This is a film that Chen Shou will be mad at and Luo Guanzhong will die from laughing at!"

"Come on, luckily I'm being cautious and waiting to read your comments. Now the only film left is "Xiu Chun Knife". The reviews are very good. I'll go see it when it is released tomorrow."

Liu Yifei and Shu Chang both attended the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao".

Liu Shisi's eyes were a little complicated, but then she sighed. She hadn't even won against Yang Mi yet, and if she won against Yang Mi, there would be a new generation actor named Shu Chang. If she won against Shu Chang, there would also be other actresses. In the end, maybe It was Liu Yifei's turn.

"During the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian took the post of admiral of the East Factory and caused trouble in the court for eight years.

At that time, seven out of ten important officials in the imperial court were members of Wei Zhongxian's party, known as the "eunuch party" in the world.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he eliminated all Wei Zhongxian's duties and ordered him to go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum. "

The few sentences of the narration at the beginning of the movie tell the background of the movie

The background of the story is the Ming Dynasty, from Tianqi to Chongzhen!
The film opens with three brothers, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan, capturing eunuch Xu Xianchun.

Shen Lian went into the house alone to arrest people, while Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan were ambushing and intercepting them.

This capture and interrogation sequence is completed in one go.

There was barely any pause.

Liu Shisi looked at her image in the movie and suddenly became convinced that this movie should become her masterpiece.

It's a pity that this movie resource is the only one available.

Liu Shisi suddenly saw Shu Chang sitting next to Liu Yifei and couldn't help but feel envious.

"Xiu Chun Knife" failed to make a box office debut on the first day, and the final shortlist for Cannes was announced. Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" became the only domestic film in Cannes and was selected for the midnight screening section.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" held a global media preview in Cannes, which was also known by major media and reported one after another.

"Culture goes abroad, "Kung Fu Panda 2" debuts in Cannes, spreading traditional Chinese culture"

Officials from Sichuan Province came to the stage to promote the campaign.

It can be said that this movie is full of cultural elements of Sichuan Province, such as Qingcheng Mountain, Kuanzhai Alley, Dandan Noodles, Mapo Tofu, etc. This is not only an animated movie, but also an excellent promotional film to promote the culture of Sichuan Province.

"This treatment is awesome. This is a promotional video for our province. Support it!"

"It's been almost three years, and I finally saw the sequel. I'll be able to see it at the end of May. I'm looking forward to it."

"Remember Po in 08? Three years later, can the mystery of his life experience be revealed?"

"."

The audience is full of expectations for this animated blockbuster. After the panda broke the domestic animation record, in the following years, only the 2010 3D animation "Alice in Wonderland" could compete with it in the country. High or low.

Tian Xiaopeng looked at the news from all directions about "Kung Fu Panda 2" and became even more excited about "Your Name", which the animation team is still producing.

Once the production of "Your Name" is completed, the already approved project can be put on the schedule.

"The first-day box office of "Xiuchundao" exceeded 2400 million, the light of new martial arts."

""Embroidered Spring Knife", you need to pay more!"

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the box office information. The cost was more than 3000 million. According to this box office, it is estimated that the cost can be recovered within a week, and the rest is profit.

“The box office was great!”

Liu Shisi's eyes lit up.

"Continue to promote!" Lu Yang plans to use this momentum to get as much box office as possible on May [-].

"Old Zhou, you, the layman with extra money, are going to be popular." Lu Yang put his arm around Yiwei Zhou's shoulders. He also didn't expect that the one who stood out the most was actually this supporting character.

Of course, this is due to the Mengying publicity team.

For ten years, no one knows about the trap, but the world knows it if you add more money.

Mengying also specially used this sentence to promote the film. At this time, some meme characters are promoted the fastest and can make the audience get to know the movie the fastest.

"He is my sibling, no. I have to pay more!"

"No, I'm going to die laughing at this sentence."

Mengying Media has another movie victory, and it still beats "Guan Yunchang". During the May Day holiday, it is conceivable that "Xiu Chun Dao" will occupy the main share.

The number of films scheduled by major theater chains is increasing rapidly, and many films originally scheduled for "Guan Yunchang" have been withdrawn.

"Am I only suitable to play "Ip Man"?"

Donnie Yen is a little frustrated. It seems that except for "Ip Man", all his other movies are losing money. However, "Ip Man" has been postponed again. He originally thought of taking advantage of this time to perform a new masterpiece, but it turned out that "Guan Yunchang" just started. It just flipped over.

Now the Douban score of "Guan Yunchang" is lower than 6.0. You can imagine how much the audience resists this movie.

"Warring States" is not much better, but it plays a word game for publicity:
"Warring States," which was released simultaneously in China and North America, landed at No. 730 in the international box office rankings with a total box office of US$[-] million, becoming a unique domestic blockbuster in the list."

It seemed to be the case, but Li Mu noticed that the announcement mentioned the international box office rankings, which included domestic box office.

The current box office in China is more than 720 million US dollars. Doesn't North America even have 10 US dollars?

"It won't be so miserable."

Li Mu muttered and asked David to check, but the result was indeed the same. It was less than US$7 in North America, and it was released directly.At this time, Lu Zheng, who became more and more brave as he fought, arranged a science fiction action comedy film "Time and Space Rescue" for Jingtian.

In Lu Zheng's opinion, Jingtian, who has acted in "The Martian", should be comfortable with this movie.

The box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" was released in its first week, with a revenue of 1.18 million, becoming the biggest winner during the May Day period.

Liu Shisi, the heroine, has also received feedback. At least the fans will feel more confident when they go out and shout with Yang Mi's fans.

Pressuring the opponent to retreat steadily.

"Guan Yunchang" made over 1 million in its first week, but the producers were very dissatisfied and offered a reward of [-] for "Black Water", saying that someone deliberately gave them bad reviews on Time.com and Douban.

This actually inspired the audience's rebellious psychology, and the Douban score became lower and lower.

After finishing all the filming of "The Thirteen Hairpins", Bell even called Li Mu to say goodbye before returning to the UK alone. This Batman was going back to shoot a new movie with Nolan.

Li Mu predicts that the shutdown time for "Gravity" will be in June, and Guo Fan's "Passengers" is expected to be shut down a little sooner, and is expected to be completed by the end of May.

In the imperial capital, at Ning Hao's house, Xu Zheng came to the door with the script.

"Director Ning, the script has been written. Do you think you can meet Director Li when?"

Xu Zheng found two screenwriters and turned the inspiration he gained from traveling abroad into a script. He spent more than three months revising and revising it, and finally he was done.

This time he learned his lesson and listened to the advice of Huang Bo and Ning Hao. Instead of giving it to Huaqi, a company that eats people without spitting out their bones, he sent Mengying directly.

"I told him, the day after tomorrow!"

Xu Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. His script should be completed this time.

It was mid-May. Because "Kung Fu Panda 5" was about to hold a global media preview in Cannes, Li Mu asked the crew to rest for a few days, and he personally rushed back to the imperial capital.

When he came back this time, not only did Xu Zong make an appointment with him, but Wang Jinghua also had something he needed to decide on.

"Hey, I'm really busy!" Li Mu took a rest at home and prepared to go to Mengying.

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly at Li Mu: "I will accompany you to Cannes tomorrow, so you can have a good rest!"

Mengying Media, Xu Zheng held the script and danced for more than an hour, not even taking a sip of water.

Li Mu and Ning Hao were listening below.

"I feel like the story has a lot of potential."

Ning Hao had only glanced at it briefly without reading it carefully. After listening to Xu Zheng's explanation, he made a preliminary judgment.

"good."

Li Mu also glanced at the cover of the script on the table, "The Journey to Thailand".

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Mu with an anxious mood. After all, it was Li Mu who made the final decision whether to invest or not.

At this time, Mengying Media and Wang Jinghua also arrived.

"Mr. Li is still talking to people next door, please wait." Liu Weijuan said softly.

"Hasn't Mr. Li already decided that Xingmeng's personnel can only go in and out? Last time, the somewhat famous Yang Mi and Mr. Li refused."

There are not many people left under Xingmeng, and it has always adhered to the strategy of "valuing the essence rather than the many".

There is almost no need to compete for resources in Xingmeng, which makes artists in the industry envious.

There are too many artists who want to join it, but let alone reaching the threshold, they will not even be mentioned. The last time it was Yang Mi who made Wang Jinghua speak out.

"This one made me see the shadow of my past. She came to find me personally. I want to fight for her once." Wang Jinghua still felt a little emotional.

"Very famous? Let me take a look at my resume." Liu Weijuan became interested.

Wang Jinghua took it out of the document bag and handed it to Liu Weijuan: "That's not a little transparent."

"Then she does have courage."

"4000 million investment." Li Mu thought for a while and stretched out four fingers.

Xu Zheng suddenly burst into laughter. Damn it, if I had known that Li Mu was so easy to talk to, I would have hired Mengying as the "substitute" before.

"Don't be too eager to be happy yet. You can direct the movie, but the control lies with Mengying, including the subsequent sequels. This is the condition."

Xu Zheng didn't care about Sanqi 21. What happened last year had already made him feel the dangers of this circle. Moreover, Mengying's conditions were not harsh. He worked so hard just because he wanted to direct by himself.

It's a pity that no one in the circle trusts him.

In fact, this is normal. At this time, Xu Zheng was just an actor and had no directing experience at all. Most people did not believe that he could make a good movie.

"I understand, Director Li!" Xu Zheng nodded solemnly.

"Would you like to change the name? Huaqi Film and Television may have objections to using 'People Zai Jilu'." After Ning Hao saw that the matter was settled, he revealed the hidden dangers.

"You are the director, you decide."

Li Mu directly put the question to Xu Zheng. As a director, there will be many decisions like this in the future. This name is the first step.

"Director Li, I suggest changing it to "Thailand". With Mengying Media here, there is no need for the words "People are no longer embarrassed" to promote it."

Xu Zheng thought about it. At first, he made this script because he wanted to tie in with the previous low-cost dark horse "The Lost Road", which would make it easier to attract investment and make subsequent publicity more convenient.

But with Mengying at my back, this feeling is completely unnecessary. After all, the four words Mengying Media are more useful than anything else.

"Do you have a favorite actor?"

"Me, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang!" When Xu Zheng wrote the script, he had an idea in mind about who would star.

"Huang Bo may not have time to talk to you now."

Huang Bo occasionally showed up in various groups. Li Mu remembered correctly that Huang Bo was still acting in "Military Ge Erdan" at this time.

"Don't worry, Director Li, I'll grind him into the crew even if I grind him down." Xu Tong promised confidently.

"Okay, get ready to start the project. You are responsible for the actors."

Li Mu didn't care about this. Anyway, Xu Zheng was able to grind Huang Bo into his hands in his previous life, and he would definitely be able to do it in this life too.

He directly called Lu Yu to prepare the contract.

"By the way, when do you plan to launch the project of "Golden Robbery"?" Li Mu turned to look at Ning Hao.

Ning Hao thought for a while: "Just this month! I'll pick the actors again."

After handling Xu Zheng's matter, Li Mu came to Liu Weijuan's office. Wang Jinghua had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Li!"

The two stood up.

Li Mu picked up the resume on the table.

"Zhao Liying!"

"Mr. Li, this little girl is worth cultivating. I see ambition in her eyes, but it is completely different from Yang Mi's."

Wang Jinghua is still speaking for Zhao Liying, and I have to say that Wang Jinghua has really good vision.
