During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 147 Locking the victory and officially starting filming

On the first day of its release, "New World" took in 1100 million at the box office, which doesn't seem very high, but it's a working day, and its online reputation is very good. Many netizens said that "New World" is better than "Infernal Affairs" It's refreshing, more real, and more down-to-earth.

Word of mouth is indeed the best boost to the box office. "New World" grossed 1300 million the next day, and even reached 1600 million on the last day before May Day.

"New World" has been in theaters for three days and has grossed 4000 million at the box office, making it a good start. The next step is to see if it can hold on to the May Day holiday.

But at this time, the Wei and Jin Dynasties had arrived in the Hongya area, and the male protagonist's one-man show officially began.

This time Wei Jin only brought Liu Tianwang and part of the behind-the-scenes filming team, and the other actors remained at the training base on standby.

After the plane landed, we transferred to the bus all the way. This place was inaccessible. The more we walked, the more desolate it became, and the Danxia landform gradually emerged.

"This place is incredible."

Liu Tianwang and a group of people behind the scenes looked outside through the car window, their eyes full of shock.

After walking for who knows how long, a cluster of container-like buildings came into view, with some construction vehicles seemingly at work around them.

The crew's vehicles stopped one after another, and everyone began to move things. The conditions here were limited, and everyone lived in construction-floor houses, even Wei Jin was no exception.

"During this period, it's been hard for everyone. Conditions are limited. Please overcome it."

"Director Wei, you're too polite. We have all experienced more difficult shooting environments. It's a joke."

All the staff, including Liu Tianwang, said, "I'm just kidding, Wei Jin is with everyone, what else is there to say."

Various equipment and props began to be arranged in an orderly manner, and the shooting time was getting closer.

The professional team is amazing. Wei Jin took Liu Tianwang to visit the "cabin" designed and produced by Aviation Science and Technology up close. Even the internal display was very particular, striving to be rigorous, scientific and reasonable.

He told everyone to go to bed early, but Wei Jin found it difficult to fall asleep. This was really the worst environment he had ever lived in.

The next day, everything was ready to start shooting.

The male protagonist was left alone on Mars, faced with huge survival risks, and had to embark on a journey of survival through hardship and joy.

As a botanist, the protagonist is very clear-headed. He first counts the supplies in the living cabin and calculates the number of days of survival.

When the numbers were tallied, one can imagine the despair of the male protagonist. Decadent, he counted the date of his death on his fingers and recorded his last words again and again.

Until he found a bag of vacuum potatoes in his teammate's luggage, the decadent protagonist began to become inspirational.

There is no place that the Chinese people cannot conquer. As long as they have a piece of land and seeds, they can grow a country. This is rooted in the bones of the Chinese people, not to mention that the male protagonist is also a botanist.

"Ka, this one passed."

Wei Jin looked at the picture on the monitor and nodded with satisfaction.

Brother Hua, your expression is spot on. I'm afraid you haven't experienced it and won't be able to act it out. "

In this scene, the male protagonist uses his hands to make organic fertilizer from the excrement of his colleagues. His face needs to show disgust and disgust, but he has to bite the bullet and do it.

"Haha, Director Wei, you don't know, when I used to shoot movies in Xiangjiang, the props were very lifelike. Sometimes they even used real ones. It feels like that."

"Brother Hua, stop it. Stop talking. I already have the picture."

  After the day's shooting, everyone took an early rest, but Wei Jin picked up his laptop, opened Impression.com, and kept refreshing the page.

"Director Wei, are you still up so late?"

As if he noticed that the light in Wei Jin's room was still on, King Liu Tianwang next door asked outside the door.

"Brother Hua, I can't sleep. Let me check the box office of "New World"."

Wei Jin opened the door and invited King Liu Tian in. He really couldn't sleep because the conditions were too bad.

"Oh? It's just past midnight, right? Can you check the box office so quickly?"

Box office statistics have always been based on theater statistics, and the final data is summarized to the distributor. It usually takes until midnight to get the day's data, so Liu Tianwang was a little surprised.

Wei Jin briefly explained the functions of Impression Network. King Liu Tianwang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be so convenient.

"Brother Hua, look, it's out."

Liu Tianwang looked at the numbers on the page, his eyes widened and he said in surprise:
  "2417 million, Director Wei, it's over 2400 million. It's higher than yesterday. It's great."

It’s no wonder that Liu Tianwang was so excited and incoherent. In the past two years, none of the movies he starred in had a box office of over 1600 million. There are already many voices in the industry saying that he is not worthy of such a high salary. Liu Tianwang received a salary of RMB 07 million for "The Film", which is already very high among domestic stars. You have to remember that it was only .

"Well, how about it, Brother Hua, I didn't lie to you."

"Well, Director Wei, you are indeed an expert in this area."

Since entering the May Day holiday, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth in the past few days, the box office of "New World" has experienced skyrocketing growth.

On the first day of the holiday, the box office revenue was 2100 million. King Liu Tianwang couldn't believe it at the time, fearing that it would be a flash in the pan. Wei Jin told him that the reputation had been stabilized and the box office would definitely not be bad.

Now the box office on the second day is 2417 million, which completely confirms the theory of Wei and Jin that word-of-mouth is the box office.

"It's only been five days, and it's about to break 100 million. Oh, what a pity, it almost broke the record."

King Liu Tian was happy one second, but a little regretful the next. It was because people's hearts were so weak that snakes swallowed elephants.

Wei Jin was not surprised by this. After all, he only provided the script for this movie, rather than directing it himself, so the "wei content" was somewhat lacking.

"Breaking 100 million is a matter of time. 200 million is not too difficult. Now we just have to see how far we can go."

"Director Wei, are you so confident? Are you not worried about Spider-Man 3 at all?"

King Liu Tian was frightened by Wei Jin's words. He was very excited to have a box office of 2 million, and more, which he could not even imagine.

"Brother Hua, people have to have dreams. Since it is a dream, why not be bigger and bigger?' Besides, we have the home court advantage, I am confident."

  Liu Tianwang wore a space suit weighing dozens of kilograms and pushed a cart to transport the Martian soil outside, just to create a piece of pure land where potatoes could be grown.

As for the source of moisture, the protagonist used hydrogen and oxygen to ignite it. Unfortunately, he was not very lucky and exploded once.

In order to be as real as possible, this part was shot in real life. Liu Tianwang is still very dedicated, if the director needs it.

This scene was very dangerous, and a professional team conducted detailed safety verification. Wei Jin did not want the actor to have an accident within a few days of filming.

These days, Liu Tianwang logs on to Impression.com every night to pay attention to the box office situation, and he is more active than Wei Jin.

On May 5, the box office of "New World" reported 3 million, which was slightly lower than the previous day. This is normal. After 2300 days of release, the total was 6 million.

On May 5, "Spider-Man 4" was released, with a box office of 3 million on the first day, causing great shock. However, Wei Jin knew that this was the fan effect of mature IP, which is the case with many Hollywood blockbusters.

However, the film schedule of "New World" has been squeezed, and the box office on that day will exceed 10 million. After that, it has been hovering on the edge of 10 million for several consecutive days.

As of May 5, "New World" had been released for 7 days and had a box office of 10 million, while its competitor "Spider-Man 1.46" had been released for 3 days and took in 4 million.

It seemed evenly matched, but Wei Jin knew that "New World" had basically secured the victory in advance.

  The construction of the Mars base in Hongya is very fast. The holiday is not over yet and it has been completed ahead of schedule.

On May 5, the rest of the actors arrived here as required.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Wei Jin and Liu Tianwang saw the bus from a distance and waited in the planned parking lot.

"Tiantian, when you see your beloved brother, why don't you quickly ask for a hug?"

Zhang Ziyi teased Jing Tian that this woman was very good at it, and her relationship with Jing Tian was going well with her careful management.

"Sister Ziyi, you are making fun of me again"

Seeing Jing Tian's cute and cute look, all the main creators laughed.

"Okay, everyone, let's settle in and have some rest. Work will officially start tomorrow."

The conditions here are limited, and Wei Jin can't hold a reception banquet for everyone, so he can only let everyone have a good rest.

"Okay, Director Wei, we are all hungry and thirsty."

Wu Jing bulged his biceps and said a little bit.

"Fuck you, those words of tiger and wolf."

Surprisingly, a reporter actually came to interview that night. Unfortunately, Wei Jin had already explained that the filming site needed to be kept secret, especially the buildings.

Several reporters could only be kept far away by the staff, and the cameras on their shoulders also captured the loneliness.

With the arrival of the main creators, it means that the filming of "The Martian" has officially begun.
