During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 35 Premiere and First Week Box Office
  The premiere was organized by China Film Group Corporation and was held in a cinema owned by China Film Group Corporation.

At 12:2 pm on December 6, Wei Jin came to the cinema in Dongcheng District wearing a smart suit to attend the premiere.

Zeng Li started to devote himself to the script of "Latent" after the filming of "The Best in the World" was completed some time ago. He said that he wanted to go to the countryside to experience life and try not to embarrass Wei and Jin, so he did not attend the premiere.

The team from China Film Group was responsible for the reception. They were already very familiar with this aspect of work and did not need Wei Jin to worry about it.

Entering the theater, Wei Jin noticed that many reporters had come, as well as a small number of local audiences in the capital. Most of them were book fans and music fans who wanted to see the effect of the movie adaptation for the first time.

At this time, Wei Jin also started to get busy. The entertainment industry was also a social circle. As a director of Silver Bear, a new domestic film star, and a company boss, Wei Jin's identity determined that many people in the industry were destined to surround him. .

Many people from the industry came today. Li Xiaowan, who was honored to be honored, brought his artists Zhou Gongzi and Yang Mi.

Huayi, who likes to join in the fun, is also very supportive. The Wang brothers, Feng Dapao and Wang Jinhua all came. The accompanying artists included Fan Bingbing, who had auditioned for Wei Jin movies, and Huang Xiaoming, a good old man in the entertainment industry.

"Director Wei, it's our first time meeting you, but we have been friends for a long time. Congratulations in advance on the box office success. I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future."

The King of Huayi greeted Wei Jin with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Wang, you are very polite. As the eldest brother of Huayi in a private enterprise, it would be great if we can have the opportunity to cooperate. There are many guests today. If there is any inconvenience in the reception, please forgive me, Mr. Wang."

Wei Jin briefly exchanged greetings and chatted with Feng Dapao, then turned sideways and said politely to Fan Bingbing who was standing aside:

"It's been a while, Miss Fan has become even more beautiful."

"No matter how beautiful you are, what's the point? Director Wei doesn't want me to play any of his roles."

There was a hint of resentment in his voice, and he was worthy of being a fox. The 24-year-old Fan Bingbing already had a bit of a charm in the world.

"Ms. Fan was joking. I will definitely cooperate if there is a chance. Is this Sister Hua?"

Wei Jin laughed and changed the topic:

"Hello, Mr. Wei, I am Wang Jinhua. If you need any actors in the future, please call me directly. I will ensure your satisfaction. I also wish you a great box office success."

Wang Jinhua said and handed over his business card. As a well-known investor in the industry, Wei Jin had been exposed to many projects. As a broker, Wang Jinhua naturally had a low attitude.

"Sister Hua, you're welcome. As long as there is a suitable project, I will definitely trouble Sister Hua."

Wei Jin Studio currently has no contracted actors, so it is reasonable to cooperate with a well-known agent.

"Hello, Director Wei, I am Huang Xiaoming, please give me your advice."

Huang Xiaoming also handed over his business card with a respectful look.

At this time, Huang Xiaoming was still relatively young and had appeared in several TV series. He was already well-known in the industry, but he was still far away from capital. Today, he specially asked for leave from the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and came here in a hurry. .

"Brother Xiao Ming, hello, we are alumni. When I first entered the school, I heard a lot of your stories. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate."

Wei Jin's attitude towards this alumnus was relatively casual. After exchanging business cards, he chatted a few words with Huang Xiaoming. He watched Li Xiaowan and his artists coming over from a distance, and apologized to several people at Huayi.

"Hello, Mr. Wei, I am honored to meet Li Xiaowan."

Li Xiaowan started out as an actor and worked her way up to become the founder of a well-known production company. She is very good at seizing opportunities. She came here today not only to give face to China Film Industry, but also to be optimistic about Wei Jin and to make a good relationship.

"Hello, Mr. Li, please forgive me for my poor hospitality."

Wei Jin and Li Xiaowan have nothing to talk about. They are both production companies and can be considered competitors. Moreover, Wei Jin does not like the resources that Ling Yuda has.

"Mr. Wei, these are our company's artists, Zhou Xun and Yang Mi."

Li Xiaowan then introduced:
  "Hello, I know Miss Zhou. Her acting skills are very good."

Wei Jin looked at the petite Young Master Zhou and wondered why she had such a rich love history.

"Director Wei has won the award. I hope I have the opportunity to star in your movie."

Mr. Zhou's voice now has a bit of a male voice.

"Hello, Director Wei, I'm the newbie Yang Mi, please take care of me."

Yang Mi is still a little girl at the moment. She speaks authentic Beijing dialect and looks very free and easy. At this time, she has just finished filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Of course, she doesn't have many roles to begin with.

Wei Jin looked at the somewhat immature Yang Mi and couldn't imagine how such big changes would happen in the future. He couldn't help but sigh, it's all technology and hard work.

Just as I was planning to chat for a while, the staff came over and signaled that the premiere ceremony would begin immediately. On the other side, in the crew waiting area, several main creators were already in place, and Liu Yifei was also here. It was funny to say that one crew and two leading actors asked for leave, and Zhang Dabeard was so angry that he simply gave everyone a holiday.

It was the first time for several people to attend a movie premiere. Seeing that the people present were all film and television company bosses and producers, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Until they saw Wei Jin's arrival, they seemed to have a pillar of support in their hearts.

At this time, the auditorium was almost full, and soon the host began to liven up the atmosphere. After Li Jian sang a song "Those Years", Wei Jin and the other main creators walked onto the stage, expressed their gratitude to the guests, and then began to accept The reporter briefly answered a few questions during the interview, and the group took their seats.

The lights went out and the theater was suddenly enveloped in darkness.

The iconic sound lingers in the ears, the dragon logo appears, and the movie officially begins.

More than an hour later, the movie came to an end, and there was applause. The audience who were lucky enough to attend the premiere even shouted loudly. Wei Jin knew that the movie was done.

At this time, Huayi Brothers and Feng Dapao in the audience were also whispering:
  "Xiao Gang, what do you think?"

"Youth campus movies are probably like this. The story is told well, but it may be different from our era, and it doesn't have much sense of immersion, but judging from the audience's reaction, it's not bad."

Feng Dapao explained from his own perspective:

"Since Xiaogang you think the story is okay, how much do you think the box office can be?"

Wang Zhongjun is more concerned about the box office:
  "I can't say for sure. There are no big-name stars in the movie, but the promotion is very organized. It's hard to tell how much it will cost, but I can give a rough estimate of 4000 million."

Feng Dapao couldn't feel his pulse either, so he estimated a number, just for the sake of Wei Jin's first film.

If Wei Jin heard their conversation, he would tell them that you don't understand the horror of fan movies.

After the premiere, the media and film critics hurriedly left, preparing to go back to write articles. Of course, they all took away red envelopes when they left. Wei Jin had always been unwilling to offend those who played with pens.

Sure enough, the travel expenses were sufficient, and it was effective. There were reports on the Internet that night. The media praised it and praised the movie for creating the right way to open domestic youth movies. For a time, a large number of book fans were full of expectations.

For the release of this movie, China Film Group also spent a lot of effort and made 300 copies of the movie. You must know that two years ago, Hero was released with only more than 300 copies. These 300 copies are equivalent to 300 million in cash.

As the movie was officially released, Wei Jin and a group of main creators also began to go to movie theaters in various places for road shows. This was added by Wei Jin when the announcement plan was finalized.

In this era, movie roadshows have not yet become popular. They usually just go to a few movie theaters in the premiere city.

Wei Jin also worked tirelessly to earn the movie's box office, starting a roadshow tour in major ticket-rich cities across the country.

Because he knows that fan movies are most likely to produce results in the early stage. In 6 days, "A World Without Thieves" will be released, which will squeeze out a large number of films, leaving him with only one week of prime time. During this week, he must try his best to gain box office and expand his reputation. .

On the morning of December 12th, when several main creators were planning to start a new day of road shows, Wei Jin received a call from China Film Company Han Sanping.

"Wei Jin, 916 million, the box office on the first day was 916 million. The movie is a success and the reputation is also very good."

Listening to Han Sanping's excited voice, Wei Jin was relieved. After hanging up the phone, looking at the creators who looked at him expectantly, Wei Jin repeated

"The box office on the first day was 916 million."

Looking at everyone who looked confused, Wei Jin immediately opened his mouth to explain:

"The box office of "Hero" on the first day was just over 900 million."

"Yeah, long live the director!"

"awesome!"

"."

Several people cheered and were full of expectations for the upcoming road show. Such a beautiful first-day box office must be maintained.

A new roadshow begins
  In the next two days, Wei Jin took everyone to the Magic City to continue the road show. During this period, he also received congratulatory calls from various parties, including Zeng Li. Sister Li praised Wei Jin on the phone, and Wei Jin was very impressed. Jin was embarrassed.

China Film Group will also continue to receive box office news:
  12月4日周六票房逆势上涨，报收1521万，12月5日周日票房1385万。

As of December 12, the three-day box office of the first weekend has accumulated 6 million, surpassing the first-week box office of "House of Flying Daggers", which currently ranks first in the annual box office, by more than 3822 million.

For a time, Wei and Jin became the center of the topic again.
