China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 68 The first day’s box office, Wang Zhongjun’s sadness!
"Hello, I would like to order five movie tickets for "Hearing Girl", thank you. You can reserve them for me first, and I will pay when I arrive later."

"I want Guan Ling's new movie." Ma Yufei also went to the theater closest to his home and followed the ticket seller.

The conductor knew Ma Yufei, so he covered his mouth and smiled, "Brother Ma is still here. Last month you watched "Shark Beach" ten times, breaking the record of repeat customers in our theater."

Ma Yufei's eyes widened instantly, then his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just want to write a movie review. There are too many details in "Shark Beach", so I won't read more." After several times, it’s impossible to make a good recommendation.”

There were words that were difficult to understand one after another, such as "white and round", "Liu Yan" and so on. Ma Yufei repeatedly denied that he was doing it for this, which made the lady who sold the tickets burst into laughter.

"Let's add QQ, and I'll let you know in advance when I buy tickets later." Ma Yufei's blushing face gradually recovered, and he followed the ticket seller to ask for QQ.

"I want "Ink Attack"."

On the first day of the premiere, it was sleet and snow in most parts of the country.

However, this kind of weather could not stop the enthusiasm of Guan Ling's fans and Liu Yifei's fans. The attendance rate and box office of "Hearing Girl" were significantly higher than that of "Ink Attack". Andy's box office appeal in the mainland is relatively strong, but It's not as strong as imagined.

On the contrary, many fans of Fan Bingbing bought movie tickets for her.

Everyone wants to see if there is anything more exciting behind the trailer.

But "Hearing Girls" has increased the publicity of family education, so many families come.

Moreover, Liu Yifei's first movie after her break from acting also made many viewers who fell in love with Liu Yifei this year because of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" go there specifically.

The industry is anxiously waiting for the box office reports.

In fact, for many companies in the industry, although Guan Ling spent a lot of time promoting it at home and abroad, the filmmakers who saw the trailer were not sure about the box office effect of "Hearing Girl" because this type of movie , it’s really rare in China.

At this time, many domestic companies were shooting low-budget films aimed at solving crimes, or art films. Those who wanted to make commercial films had no idea how to make them. The best-selling horror thrillers in North America could not pass the review in China. .

Some books look good, but the director doesn't have Feng Xiaogang's ability, so Guan Ling is a new genre, and the industry is paying close attention to it and looking forward to it.

Especially Guan Ling dared to use this movie to compete with "Ink Attack", which is a historical costume blockbuster in a factual sense.

People thought that Director Guan might fail once, and Liu Yifei seemed to be not as good at fighting as Andy and Fan Bingbing.

This time Hearing Girl was also released simultaneously in Taiwan and Hong Kong. China's box office profit share belongs to Guan Ling. He will naturally make good use of these two box offices. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

Due to the weather, there were not many people going out to watch movies overall.

But people from Lingyun Media went to a nearby theater to take a look, and they probably knew a lot when they got back. They told Guan Ling that there were a lot of people in the theater, and even more people were watching "Hearing Girl."

Compared with the famous director Guan Ling, Zhang Zhiliang, the director of Mo Gong, is much less famous. No one knows who this person is.

On November 11, the box office was released. The first-day box office of "Hearing Girl" was 24 million and "Ink Attack" was 690 million.That's almost twice the difference.

It was raining and snowing on a working day. This box office result made everyone dumbfounded. As expected, "Hearing Girl" will once again exceed [-] million, and it is in November, the coldest movie schedule.

Online reviews vary greatly. Most of the reviews for hearing girls are based on being moved. Many people who went into the theater didn't cry. But I can say that my nose didn't get sore and tears didn't roll in my eyes in the theater. Few people dare to say so.

"It's a good movie. It's almost Chinese New Year. I miss my mom. Every time I'm at home, my mom scolds me. As soon as I go out, she says she misses me again. In fact, I know she's afraid that I'll get hurt outside."

"Guan Ling will never disappoint when it comes to making people cry. In his movies, human nature is not shown as bright as the sun, but as a glimmer. He is like a battering ram, hitting people hard. It touches your heart deeply."

The reputation of "Hearing Girl" has fermented. In later generations, people thought it was chicken soup, but at this time, people like to drink chicken soup.

Otherwise, New Oriental will not succeed at all.

At this time, people are still yearning to learn successfully.

As for "Ink Attack", there are mixed reviews. Some think that the movie is meaningful and really wants to tell the story of universal love without attacking. Others say that the movie is stupid. An army of 10 people besieged a small city of 4000 people. The result The protagonist succeeded in pretending every time, and the audience laughed and said that if the attacking general was not the Korean Xiao Xiba, but the reckless officer under him, the city would have fallen long ago.

"Mo Gong" is not chicken soup, but a historical story. It is about the birds and beasts disappearing and the good bows are hidden. It is about peace and yearning. It is a classic story in which the protagonist desperately defended the city, but was finally defeated by the King of Liang and sent to the other side.

Conquer the world for the incompetent.

The Mo family advocated that he wanted to say something in it, but said nothing. In the end, he had no idea what was being said. The whole movie only left the aura of Andy's pretentiousness from beginning to end.

Xiao Xiba's acting skills were criticized, and his acting skills turned him into a joke. Only Wang Zhiwen was praised in the movie. He played a moody Liang Wang.

Someone else sang a song to Mo Gong, "Tunnel war, hey, tunnel war, there are millions of magic soldiers ambushing you. You flew a hot air balloon in the Warring States Period, why not just ride a motorcycle?"

……

China Film and Television, Han Sanpin saw the box office results and asked the secretary next to him.

"In the past, during this period, was the highest box office record last year's Harry Potter?"

"Yes, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was released at almost the same time last year, with a box office of 640 million on the first day and 900 million on the first weekend." The secretary reported to Han Sanpin.

"Guan Ling, did you break the record again?"

When Han Sanpin asked this question, he couldn't help but laugh, "I want to make blockbusters to attract audiences to the theater, and I also want to use blockbusters to widen the ceiling of the movie box office. The ceiling has not yet been tested, but Guan Ling has tried it. This guy’s box office appeal can attract this box office at this time. Zhang Yimou plans to have one, isn’t it gone?”

The secretary nodded, definitely gone. Now Guan Ling's appeal in the country is comparable to that of a Hollywood blockbuster.You know, this is sleet, and it's nationwide, so there are always fewer people going out.

Bona, Yu Dong hummed a tune happily, feeling happy.I won't go to work today and go home to do some exercise with my wife.

Huayi, Wang Zhongjun's face turned dark when he saw the box office records.

They had done enough publicity, but they were crushed, and the online reputation was two-sided. "Hearing Girl" was mostly praised, while "Ink Attack" was mixed, with many scoldings. This situation will have a negative impact on the future. Quite fatal.

"why?"

Wang Zhongjun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the snowy scenery outside the window.

Sadness filled his mind.

"Guan Ling, Guan Ling, even if I leaked information about your movie, it was just a small announcement and it didn't have any impact on you. Why do you have to keep sniping and killing everyone?"

He clenched his fists. Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang had already started filming "Assembly". With Feng Xiaogang, Wang Zhongjun felt more courageous.

Fan Bingbing was also in Huayi Company at the moment, looking ugly.

After "Shark Beach", due to the relationship between Guan Ling and Hua Yi, there were many drafts on the Internet comparing Liu Yan and Fan Bingbing. At that time, Fan Bingbing's response was to watch the real chapter in the movie. Now the real chapter is out, and last month Compared with the released "Shark Beach", "Ink Attack" is really nothing.

For a moment, Fan Bingbing had some doubts about whether he was right or wrong to stay at Huayi.

If you followed Wang Jinghua in the first place, will the situation be completely different now?

Thinking of the rumors about Hua Yi and Guan Ling's grudge, Fan Bingbing felt aggrieved and wanted to cry. How could he blame Li Bingbing? She cursed in her heart.

"Li Lianhua, Li Lianhua, it's all your fault, White Lotus! You went to grab the role and made us all become each other's targets.

Now, no matter how happy you and Mr. Wang are in bed, I'm afraid you won't be able to dance for a few months, right?
Sooner or later they will hate you! "

…………

"Guanzi, I really didn't expect that you could train Xiao Liu to be like this." Zhu Yawen called and was so envious that he almost cried.

"You said her English is really good. If she didn't have such English proficiency, how could she be able to act in this movie."

Zhu Yawen licked a green lotus and said, "Guanzi, I signed up to study English at New Oriental. If you get a role later, will you consider me?"

The news about a new Hollywood movie was released, but no one responded. It was a big production worth [-] million US dollars. People were numb when Zhu Yawen looked at it. He wanted to participate.

"You learn English well, and I will take you to Hollywood sooner or later." Guan Ling answered affirmatively.

Zhu Yawen was excited, "By the way, isn't it said that it will be released in North America? How is the box office situation?"

"It hasn't come out yet. In North America, it will be screened on a small scale first, and the film schedule will be adjusted based on word of mouth. It is different from the situation in China. I feel that it would be good to have a few hundred thousand dollars. During this period, it is mainly to build word of mouth."

Guan Ling responded that "Hearing Girl" is not a purely commercial blockbuster after all, and this process cannot be changed.

"I'll go to Lingyun Media later. Then we'll go to the airport together. I'll give you a ride."

The two chatted for a few words. Zhu Yawen didn't mention anything about 2012, and Guan Ling didn't mention it either. He would adjust the characters in the script. It was no problem for Zhu Yawen to show his face, and he could also have one or two lines, but for real acting No main supporting role.

…………

Guyot called at two in the afternoon.

"Guan, the box office on the first day was US$20 million. This is a result achieved by only more than [-] theaters. Among these theaters, "Hearing Girl" is the number one box office!" Gernot was very excited, "The most important thing is, The word-of-mouth has exploded! As expected, within this week our film schedule and the number of cinemas will see a rapid increase!"

In fact, Guan Ling has no interest in the U.S. box office, but Guan Ling is still very happy.

Based on the quality of the first-day box office and word-of-mouth, it is actually only a matter of time before the movie exceeds [-] million.

"Thank you, Guan, I'm afraid I'm going to be promoted because of your movie!" Gatelot had already begun to fantasize and get excited.

"You deserve this. If you didn't dare to spend so much money to buy out the distribution rights, there would be no subsequent story." Guan Ling doesn't mind that the future profits of this film will fall into Fox Searchlight's pocket.

He only knew that after taking this step, he would be able to stand firm.

"Fuck, more than 100 million?" Zhu Yawen heard the box office results from the phone's voice, "Does this mean it's popular?"

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Guan Ling hung up the phone at the airport and nodded.

After passing the security check, the two went to board the plane. Tomorrow is the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony. A while ago, because of publicity, he did not go to the opening ceremony. However, He Bing, Huang Xiaoming and Yin Tao had already gone. Zhu Yawen did not go, and he did not have any nominations. , so it didn’t matter whether he went or not, but this time he decided to follow Guan Ling and take a look.

But he knew very well in his heart that Guan Ling was going to receive the award.And it’s a grand prize.

For "Suspect," there were seven nominations.
