Entertainment: Deyun’s young class leader? Sorry, quit
Chapter 503: Box office forecast for art films!
Noon at the racecourse.
Two grown men with a little girl.
Not much cooking.
Just one vegetarian dish and a large plate of braised duck.
The little girl was eating with great pleasure, and soon a lot of bones piled up next to her bowl.
After dinner, I asked my grandfather for a plastic bag to put the food in, intending to feed it to the dog at home.
The grandfather cleaned up the mess for her and couldn't help but say, "He He eats more than before."
"Yes, a five-year-old girl must eat more than one or two-year-old."
Raising a child is not an easy job, you need to constantly take care of her emotions.
After eating, take a break and take a nap for one or two hours.
He He immediately pestered them to play again.
It’s much more fun to live in the village than in the residential buildings in the city. There are mountains and rivers, and you can run around everywhere.
When I hear cicadas chirping, I have to see where they are coming from.
In the evening, Yu Qian bought another duck as agreed and made some duck soup for He He.
When it comes to food, I don’t want to lose out.
But after the meal, he insisted on going home because there was still bread at home and he couldn't forget it.
And Dalin left with the child.
Yu Qian was finally able to rest for a while at the horse farm. While resting, he couldn't help but take out the teapot that He He gave him to make tea and pour water. This teapot was used more carefully than any other teapot.
Take a sip of tea.
Feel comfortable.
I just feel a little helpless.
After a day of playing, the horse ranch has not been cleaned up yet, so we have to hire more workers.
Take another sip of tea.
Pick up the phone and call Xiao Meng.
"Godfather?"
"Xiao Meng, are you free tomorrow?"
"I have some free time. It's a rare break, but I have to record a show the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, come over tomorrow."
"Come here?" Meng Hetang didn't understand. "Why are you coming here?"
"Just come over and call a few more people."
"Ok."
After identifying a few people to do the hard labor, Yu Qian was no longer worried and continued to drink tea leisurely.
At the same time, on the other side, Guo Qilin took his daughter home, and now his task is to take care of her.
I got home at nine o'clock in the evening.
A burnt yellow dog rushed over frantically, wagging its tail and shaking its body, warmly welcoming its owner back.
Wow.
He He poured all the leftover bones into the dog bowl with bread. As soon as the bones were poured in, the crazy dog became confused in an instant.
Bones piled up like mountains.
A full plate.
Don't know what to do.
Afraid of the last meal.
"Dog eats, eats it all."
He He said something, but the dog didn't understand what she said but started eating immediately, wolfing down the food.
Guo Qilin took a look and found that the bowl of dog food was basically untouched, and it seemed that it had just drunk some water that day.
Chinese native dogs prefer to chew bones and eat leftovers rather than synthetic dog food.
The dog is eating.
Suddenly the cell phone rang. Guo Qilin picked it up and was immediately surprised.
"Don't just sit there and watch your mother call, my girl, hurry up."
"I'm coming."
He He ran to his father and saw his mother in the video together.
Deng Ziqi knew something was wrong when she saw the father and daughter, so she asked, "Husband, did you do what I wrote?"
"Of course, how could it be gone? I take good care of my daughter, don't I?"
"Yes." He He said from the side.
"really?"
"real."
The father and daughter looked serious, but Deng Ziqi still didn't believe it. "He He, how many snacks and ice cream did you eat today? Can you count them? If you count correctly, mom will bring you something delicious when she comes back."
"one two three four……"
"You really count."
Seeing that things were not going well, Guo Qilin quickly covered the little guy's mouth, but now he had confessed himself.
How could she eat less today?
"Well, you let her eat so much?"
"Don't blame me. Master told me to do it. What can I do?"
Deng Ziqi was furious and decided to teach them a lesson. "It was because of Xia Tian that I didn't let her do anything. But you don't care at all. What's the use of what I wrote?"
"Don't blame Dad." The little girl spoke for her father.
"Be careful next time. Let's do it tomorrow. I'll take care of it tomorrow."
"Yes, Dad will take care of me tomorrow."
Deng Ziqi didn't say anything, just stared at the father and daughter.
Guo Qilin said again: "Don't worry, I forgot about it today because I was not prepared. I will definitely give you a perfect daughter this summer."
He He: “Yes.”
Guo Qilin: "How are you doing over there? Which city are you in? When will the concert start?"
He He: "How long?"
Guo Qilin: "What's delicious over there?"
He He: "What's delicious?"
The father and daughter spoke one word at a time, just like performing a crosstalk. Deng Ziqi originally wanted to keep a straight face for a while to show that he was angry and let them know the seriousness of the situation.
In the end, he couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed a little, then he quickly stopped laughing and turned around to adjust his expression. After adjusting his expression, he still couldn't hold it in anymore and could only laugh and say, "You two are always able to work together. You should take good care of her. She can't drink too much Coke or eat too much ice cream, otherwise she will have diarrhea."
"I understand. I don't want to make my daughter feel bad, so I know the amount."
"I'm going to go eat."
The video call ends.
Guo Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at He He. This little girl was not on guard at all and exposed herself with just the words "I brought you something delicious".
"Be careful when you talk to mom next time. If mom is really angry, I will have to control your food, understand?"
"understood."
"Do you want to eat pizza now?" Guo Qilin asked.
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat. I want to go play with the dog now."
"Look into my eyes and say it again?"
He He's comprehension is not bad. He looked into his father's eyes and immediately smiled. "Eat. I want to eat pizza."
"Well, that's right, this is what He He wants to eat."
Guo Qilin was also quite greedy, so he just pushed the matter onto the little girl, and then decisively ordered takeout.
Takeaway delivered.
The father and daughter lived their lives peacefully.
A month is not a slow time. During this period, Guo Qilin and his daughter get up at eight or nine o'clock every morning. If there is something to do in the morning, he will take her to the company, and if there is nothing to do, he will play.
When it comes to playing, the place she goes to most often is the zoo that her grandfather had relocated.
Xiao Meng and his friends helped a lot with the relocation.
Working as a laborer every day.
In the end, the company assigned some tasks, and then he reluctantly took care of other things. But in August, Guo Qilin had something to do.
Started to promote the movie "Hidden in the Dust" seriously with the team.
New movie comes out.
By leveraging his own popularity and influence, he successfully created a wave of popularity for a movie without any gimmicks.
Today’s fans are all familiar with his movies or works and they can’t be wrong.
So I am willing to believe and wait for the movie to be released.
Look at the response on the Internet.
Guo Qilin has more confidence in his work.
But this is far from enough.
The cost of this work is only three million, which also includes publicity costs.
For this promotion, at most some pictures, posters and trailers will be enough.
There is no extensive online and offline promotion.
So if the movie is released in this way, the box office is estimated to be over 100 million.
After all, it is too niche and it is also an art film.
Of course, a box office of over 100 million yuan with a cost of 3 million yuan is also a huge profit. As the main investor, he can earn tens of millions at once, but he is not satisfied and is determined to increase the cost of publicity.
Once it was raised, the publicity and promotion funds directly reached tens of millions.
As a result, the four words "Hidden in the Dust" successfully appeared on the hot search list and topic list on Weibo.
And more and more people saw it.
Even though the popularity was just so-so, in order to increase the box office and let more people see such a good movie, Guo Qilin could only try his best to expose it.
"Dalin, you've lost a lot of money this time, close to 20 million."
It was almost September and Hai Qing and Guo Qilin were about to conduct an exclusive interview at the headquarters of a news media. Before the interview, the two chatted in the lounge.
The original estimated box office was only about tens of millions.
It was Guo Qilin's reputation that was raised to over 100 million.
As a result, he lost a lot of money due to publicity.
Whether or not I can make the money back is really an unknown.
"It's okay. There's a star effect. Besides, if the box office is high, won't all the money be mine?"
Guo Qilin's optimism left Hai Qing speechless. Indeed, if the movie sold well, all the money earned would be his.
If the box office reaches 500 million.
But it made more money than his 5 billion box office movie "Aftershock".
But is it possible?
The probability is very small.
Art films are inherently inferior to commercial films.
This is not a question of level or fame, but a question of subject matter.
"Teacher Dalin, Teacher Haiqing, can we start?"
After a while, media personnel came over.
"Okay."
Everything is in place.
Guo Qilin and Hai Qing were interviewed. Wu Renlin was supposed to come too, but considering his current busy schedule, he didn't take the call from Yanjing for the time being. Besides, their star effect is enough for the current publicity.
"May I ask what led Teacher Haiqing to collaborate with Director Dalin?"
Hai Qing glanced at Dalin and said, "It was Director Dalin who found me. I was planning to travel at that time and he brought me the script. I saw that it was a very special work.
I rarely see this whole circle, so I quit everything and came here to perform.”
"Yes." Guo Qilin added, "Thank you very much, Teacher Hai Qing. I'm afraid other actors don't have such courage."
"May I ask how did Teacher Haiqing make up her mind to experience life?"
“I hadn’t made up my mind at the time, but after seeing the script, I felt a pang in my heart because I had to learn the dialect and this kind of life was very unfamiliar to me.
After I finally made up my mind to go there, I found that all the animals in the village rejected me. Sheep ran away when they saw me, and donkeys ran away when they saw me.
Fortunately, by the time I took the photo, they were all familiar with me, especially the donkey, which followed me whenever I led it.”
Haiqing felt a little proud when he mentioned this.
"Then Teacher Dalin, why did you invite Teacher Haiqing?"
"The main reason was that I had such a deep impression of her, so I thought of her the moment I saw the script. It turns out that Teacher Haiqing is a perfect fit."
"Excuse me, Mr. Dalin, what is your estimated box office revenue for this movie?"
When asked the most important question in the interview, Guo Qilin did not hesitate at all, "Of course the more the better, I hope more people can see it. The estimated amount is about 500 million."
Five hundred million?
Haiqing's expression beside him changed subtly.
Although his movies had made a lot of money before, some even made billions, but 500 million for an art film is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
You have to know that the estimates could not have predicted this, one or two hundred million is already the best result.
No matter how much money is invested in publicity and promotion, it still depends on the upper limit of the work.
The ceiling for art films is not high.
The interview lasted for half an hour. At the end of the half an hour, Hai Qing couldn't help but glance at Dalin. "Dalin, are you really confident? Why do I feel like it's very unlikely to exceed 500 million?"
Sometimes word of mouth can indeed translate into box office sales.
However, there have been many big-name directors in the past whose films barely grossed over 100 million yuan and were criticized countless times.
"Well, just say it casually, I hope more people can see it."
"Hopefully."
Until the very end, the two could not be sure how much there was.
We can only open the promotion first.
So the interview video and a lot of publicity were once again thrown to the public.
Among them, the box office estimate of 500 million is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Fans and netizens are also very confident in Guo Qilin.
Judging from past performance, it is not difficult for him.
When it comes to late August, it will be the movie premiere.
The day before the premiere, Guo Qilin, Hai Qing, Yu Qian and others went to the village to pick people up.
Yu Qian was purely curious and wanted to see what the village looked like.
He didn't come once during the child's filming.
When we arrived, we found that the scenery was beautiful, with fields all around, and the air was much better than that in Yanjing.
"Uncle, are you ready now that we are here?"
Go outside to the yard.
Hai Qing shouted and looked towards the living room. She suddenly found that her uncle was packing clothes in the living room. He was about to go to Yanjing to attend the premiere. He was as nervous as when he was scrubbing her body.
For this reason, all the farm work was stopped for a day.
I have always been taken away by my wife to choose clothes.
I know I will be staying there for several days this time, and I heard the promotion for the movie is very long.
Hearing the familiar voice, the middle-aged man was stunned and went to greet it with his wife.
Director Dalin and Teacher Hai Qing know each other.
When she saw Teacher Yu Qian, my aunt was extremely happy, as if she knew him. She smiled from ear to ear and said, "Teacher Yu Qian, I like you so much."
"???"
Guo Qilin stood by with a confused look on his face. Most of the villagers didn't know him, but they knew his master. For the first time, he doubted his own popularity.
You have to know that this place is extremely far from Yanjing, but Master’s popularity among the people is extremely high.
Not long after, the villagers heard that Teacher Yu Qian had arrived and came over to watch the fun again.
The apprentice finally understood that the popularity of Deyun Society all over the country in the 2000s was not fake.
Seeing that he was recognized, Yu Qian stepped forward and greeted them.
He didn't expect that he would be so popular.
Start chatting with them without any airs.
Teacher Guo was mentioned quite a few times, but they didn't know that the current Deyun Club was not the same as it was back then, nor did they know that Yu Qian had already left the club, and that Director Dalin in front of them was the son of Teacher Guo. (End of this chapter)
