Chapter 721 Sky Hunter, Show of Love
"Li Chen and Fan Binbin appeared in Hefei to promote "Sky Hunter". The huge diamond ring on Fan Binbin's left ring finger stole the spotlight.

When asked how she would rate director Li Chen for this film, Fan Bingbing paused and replied: "I would rate it 8.5."
Chen Ge slept in the editing room for the next two months just to ensure the smooth completion of the film. It really hurts me to see him working so hard. '"

"Li Chen said: Binbin and I acted for free. In the Chinese film market, there has never been a modern air combat film presented to the audience. Sky Hunter will be the first.

All the fighter planes are real and flying this time! Forget the 50-cent special effects! If you want to come, come for real! "

"The new poster of Wolf Warrior 2 is out, with the slogan 'Whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are' re-enacting the style of Operation Red Sea, and is expected to 'ignite' the National Day box office!"

"."

Compared to "Sky Hunter" which relied on the topic promotion of Fan Binbin and Li Chen, "Wolf Warrior 2" which relied on serious film and television promotion made people more eager to watch the movie.

Moreover, the poster of "Wolf Warrior 2" is also full of details.

All the posters were selected from the stills. They have a unified style and a sense of set. They are all packaged as a whole with half-body photos and visual elements, so that the audience can see the effect of a burning body.

The overall copy is also very "exciting", and for a moment, countless people felt the feeling of the screening of "Operation Red Sea" last year.

"Damn, I feel like I'm going to watch Wu Jing's movie."

"If these words are really lines from the movie, I think it's worth a look. I've been thinking about this kind of movie since I watched Operation Red Sea last year!"

"Dude, isn't Sky Hunter? Why don't you consider it?"

"I'll just give it a try. Let others try it out first. I don't want to be Li Chen's guinea pig. The sequel to Wolf Warrior is more stable."

"."

There are actually some things to consider when promoting this thing. If you do it excessively, or if you are disgusted or talk about other things, you are likely to face backlash.

However, Li Chen obviously did not realize this at the time, otherwise he would not have done "love during the promotion period" stories with Fan Binbin so frequently.

“It’s strange. The traffic is hot enough, so why is there no increase in pre-sales?”

Li Chen was a little puzzled. He had been exhausted these days. But when he looked at the pre-sale data from Maoyan, he found that the pre-sale box office on September 9 was only over 29 million.

You have to know that the Air Force also invited CCTV to do publicity. After all, this is an Air Force propaganda film. The data is not right.

"Maybe Maoyan's data hasn't been updated yet, let's check Tao Piaopiao's data."

Seeing that Li Chen looked anxious, Fan Binbin hurried over to comfort him.

She didn't think it would be necessary. After all, military blockbusters were very popular right now, and the publicity was very tight. The proposal of the two was still on the hot searches of major portals. How come the pre-sales were so bad?

"Too."

Li Chen nodded repeatedly, and then complained: "Maoyan's data updates too slowly, I'll use Tao Piaopiao in the future."

However, when I saw the pre-sale data statistics of Tao Piaopiao, I was dumbfounded again, because the data was almost the same as that of Maoyan.

This seems to be the most real data.

"The ticket subsidy for Sky Hunter was revealed to be 8.8/9.9 yuan, but no one bought it. The performance was very bleak, ranking last in the pre-sale movies, and the box office on the first day of pre-sale was only more than 200 million yuan."

"Wolf Warrior 2 started pre-sale and earned over 5300 million on the first day, beating Sky Hunter and winning the pre-sale championship during the National Day holiday!"

"."

At the same time, the Naval Political Department Art Center is also paying close attention to the news about "Sky Hunter". After all, they are all promotional videos, and the Air Force Political Department and the Naval Political Department are also competing.

Tang Jing was also a little relieved at this moment. Fortunately, she chose Li Mu to make the navy's promotional video. Otherwise, if she had chosen an unreliable person, this might have been the outcome.

This pre-sale result is very telling and represents the audience's expectations for this movie.

Although there may be a reversal later, it is better to do it well at the beginning than to pin your hopes on a reversal with little hope.

"The pre-sales of Wolf Warrior 2 are pretty good, we just need to keep it stable."

Li Mu smiled and nodded. He was not that surprised by the good news reported by Wu Jing. After all, it was within his expectations.

"There's no need to pay too much attention to Sky Hunter. On the one hand, the market has doubts about Li Chen's directing ability. On the other hand, the two of them have been appearing on variety shows, which has greatly reduced the audience's sense of mystery about him. This is really not a good thing for an actor."

Li Mu said lightly, and also reminded Wu Jing.

"It's not a good thing to appear on too many variety shows?" Wu Jing muttered, remembering Li Mu's words firmly.

Just as the major movies were preparing to premiere during the National Day holiday, an "Opinion on the Proportion of Allocation of Production Costs for TV Series and Online Dramas" was suddenly released, causing a stir in the industry, but also making netizens applaud.

The opinion states that the total remuneration of all actors in a film or TV series should not exceed 40% of the total production cost, of which the main actors should not exceed 70% of the total remuneration, and other actors should not be less than 30% of the total remuneration.
"I hope more money can be spent on TV drama production, and stop using 50-cent special effects to fool the public. I look forward to more good dramas with conscience!"

"Although celebrities all over the world are highly paid, the pay of some Chinese actors is inflated and very abnormal."

"The pay gap between top-tier stars and other creators is now the largest in history."

"."

In addition to the support from netizens, some agents, producers and experts from various industries have also spoken out.

Obviously, this will most likely become the final tone of the story. "It's okay, my salary is not that high."

Shu Chang patted his chest, still feeling frightened, because CCTV News Channel criticized many film and television productions with sky-high pay in the special feature "Actors' Sky-High Pay", such as "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Illusion City".

"You're quite proud."

Liu Yifei was at a loss for words. "What this means is that one's moral integrity does not match the position and cannot receive such a high salary, not that one cannot receive such a high salary even if one has the ability."

"Forehead"

Li Mu, who was far away in Italy, naturally knew about this. Of course, this was a step towards standardization in the industry, but this kind of restriction alone was far from enough.

Although the investment proportion of actors' remuneration is limited, it is not difficult for film and television companies to implement it if they really want to.

It is indeed possible to achieve this indirectly through capital operations without offering such high pay!

For example, if you invest in a film and television company, and the company is constantly being acquired, the valuation increases during the process, and your shares will rise accordingly;
The second is to directly set up a film and television studio by yourself, and then have a listed company acquire the studio at a high premium, thereby achieving excess returns in the capital market.

The simplest example is the case of Huayi Brothers acquiring Feng Xiaogang Studio.

"Forget it, let's do it step by step."

Li Mu shook his head. Healthy industries are standardized step by step. Doing it all in one go only exists in fantasy.

Sicily, the filming here will soon be over.

Speaking of Italy, which is especially blessed by God, everyone knows that Rome, Venice, Milan, and Florence are must-visit places.
But when it comes to Sicily, in addition to the Mafia and that soul-stirring movie, it is also praised by veteran travelers around the world as the "source of Italian beauty."

"Wow, this is such a beautiful place, I fell in love with it when I was a kid watching Monica Bellucci movies."

Jason Momoa couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the island.

"Did you do that for the scenery when you were a kid? I'm embarrassed to expose you."

Li Mu said unhappily, he really didn't believe that when Jason Momoa was a child he watched "Marvel's Sicily" just for the scenery.

"Hahaha, Jason. Don't say the director doesn't believe it. We don't believe it either."

"I have to say, that movie is really great, and it was also my enlightenment."

"."

A group of men have started a discussion.

As time went by, "Sky Hunter" premiered first on September 9th. After all, it was released in the afternoon of the 28th, which was advanced by 29 hours.

"Go forth with passion, take off and fight!"

The slogans at the premiere were loud and clear, but the press release that came out the next day was a little confusing.

"Li Chen and Fan Binbin showed off their affection at the premiere of Sky Hunter. From the premiere red carpet to the press conference, Fan Bingbing accompanied Li Chen throughout the whole process. Their sweet interaction made others envious."

"Fan Binbin becomes a soft and cute little woman next to Li Chen, and they can't hide their love for each other!"

"Li Chen revealed that Sky Hunter was originally a two-part series, and he 'deliberately controlled' his relationship with Fan Binbin!"

"."

The entire premiere seemed to have become a stage for the two to show their affection. I don't know if the major media and film critics were paid or not, but they were quite cooperative.

I'm just saying it's a cooperation. There aren't many film reviews, and the few that are out there are just praises.

The fighter planes are very real, and the strength of the Air Force is unquestionable; the real shooting scenes are grand, Li Chen revealed the wonderful stories behind the scenes of the film, and the atmosphere on the scene was very lively and joyful
Anyway, the words all seem to be compliments, but they don’t have the core.

"No, they are crazy. Why would they go to the premiere to show off their affection?"

Shu Chang was waiting for Liu Yifei to finish dressing up. The premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" was held today.

So while I was waiting, I was frantically scrolling through my phone, but all the media were reporting on "Sky Hunter".

"How would I know!" Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue, lifted a strand of hair and put it behind her ear, then turned around in front of the mirror.

The white long skirt and suit jacket reveal her slender and long legs.

Liu Yifei nodded in satisfaction, then took a selfie in front of the mirror and sent it to Li Mu:
"Is it good? Changchang and I went to the premiere of Wolf Warrior 2. I'll tell you what happened later."

Liu Yifei also knew that Li Mu was still busy filming and that he would not be able to reply in a short time, so she put her phone in her bag.

"You are so conceited. You even took a selfie and sent it to Li Mu?" Shu Chang saw Liu Yifei spinning in circles and couldn't help but tease her.

"Hehe, women dress up to please themselves."

Liu Yifei smiled, then kissed the little bun on the face.
