Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 306

McConaughey's superb acting skills caused sobs to be heard in the theater.

The huge waves that rose up made everyone scream in surprise at the same time.

The timeline redesigned by Zhen Jiecheng is arranged with montage techniques and supplemented by the foreshadowing of camera language. Compared with the original version, the story is told in a Hollywood industrial style, which is not only more rounded but also easier to understand.

When it comes to montage, Zhen Jiecheng can now confidently say: Even if Bong Joon-ho gains mature experience in the future, he will still be inferior.

After all, Bong Joon-ho has never tried to shoot a whole movie in one take, nor has he tried to explore and practice the effect of montage in extremely long shots.

"Wow~"

When the film ended, thunderous applause filled every corner of the IMAX theater.

And this enthusiasm will spread to every cinema and every theater across the country with the full release of "Interstellar".

"Morning News, the beginning of a new day. Good morning, audience friends."

"Today is January 2011, 1. First of all, I wish all the people in the country a happy New Year."

In the live broadcast room of "Morning News", Hu Die smiled brightly, sweetening the hearts of countless male compatriots.

"Yesterday, the science fiction film Interstellar, produced by the famous Chinese director Zhen Jiecheng and his team, held its premiere. After the premiere, the audience burst into prolonged applause."

“Amazing special effects, a deep and quiet space experience. Touching fatherly love, rigorous and meticulous scientific theory.”

"Director Zhen Jiecheng brought a visual feast to the audience with his superb techniques!"

"Interstellar has filled the gap in science fiction blockbusters in my country's film market and accumulated important experience for the future independent production of hardcore science fiction films and TV shows."

Listening to his partner's extremely emotional report, and looking at his partner's standard etiquette smile that was almost unable to contain his joy and was on the verge of breaking.

Chen Jiachuan spoke quickly to buy time for his partner to adjust.

News reporting is a solemn job, especially at Yangshi.

It not only concerns future career development, but also the monthly salary income. Any small accident is directly linked to money.

For example, my colleague Xiao Sa is either having his salary deducted or on his way to have his salary deducted every day at work.

There is no way, because the host has to read his own name first when he goes on stage? If he reads it wrong, he will be fined.

"After the premiere, Interstellar will be released worldwide on New Year's Day."

"As of press time, the three major ratings websites in the United States have given Interstellar high scores."

"On the Rotten Tomatoes website, professional film critics gave the film a freshness rating of 93%, while the popcorn index given by ordinary audiences was as high as 96%."

"IMDB's rating is 9.2 out of 96, and MTC gave it a high score of ."

The moon in foreign countries is not rounder, but ordinary people still love to see foreigners praising it.

If foreigners say it’s good, then it’s really good. If it’s not good, that’s fine too!

Even after more than a decade, this has not changed. It has transformed itself into a "traffic password" to attract fans and make money on various platforms.

The three-foot-thick ice did not form overnight, and rebuilding national confidence will not be achieved overnight.

When Zhen Jiecheng learned the general content of Yangshi's promotional broadcast from Han Shanping, he was not surprised.

After all, it is just "Morning News" which is more focused on people's livelihood, not "News Broadcast".

Besides, other people have done it too. Other people did it first!
For example, news such as the distribution buyout sold to foreigners at a high price, the overseas box office boom, etc. can be used as promotional materials.

Everyone is dirty, so don’t look down on me for being dirty.

Yes, that's right, the ratings have been brushed up.

It’s unfair not to brush!
"Fairness" is also a business, a business of beautification with knives and carvings.

It is worth mentioning that Hua Na did not hold back at the beginning and gave it a rather harsh rating, which made the rating a bit glaring given that the audience and critics had already given it a high rating.

As a last resort, I had to pay extra money to control the scores.

After Chen Jiachuan finished his report, Hu Die adjusted her state and spoke again.

"There are still four days until the arrival of the Minor Cold solar term, but the temperature in Beijing has already exceeded the Minor Cold. However, this has not cooled the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, and long queues have formed at the ticket windows of major cinemas in Beijing."

"We would like to remind fans to keep warm and prevent colds."

"Next we will connect with reporters on the scene."

Looking at Hu Die's cheerful voice on the screen, Ning Hao's already anxious face was twisted even more wretchedly by the sourness.

"Damn, this girl is so pretty!"

"You little bastard, you're really full!"

"What are you talking about? I don't have any feelings towards her." Zhen Jiecheng retorted, "She and I are just friends."

"Serious? Stop talking nonsense! According to what you said, the relationship between me and the massage technician is also a serious consumer service relationship?"

"Haha! Consumption should be decent, unless you are such a bastard and IOU. But I don't know if the service is good enough." Zhen Jiecheng cast a contemptuous look, and before Ning Hao could jump up and down, he continued, "Remind you: Hu Die was born in 83."

"Fuck you!" Ning Hao's eyes widened. "Is she really 83? One year younger than you?"

"Nonsense, how could I lie to you? She is a public figure, her basic information is public on the Internet, go check it yourself."

"This" It took Ning Hao less than a second from staring to being dumbfounded.

Looking at Ning Hao with a frown on his face, he muttered to himself, "Did I misunderstand? Are they really serious friends?"

A great sense of pride arose in Zhen Jiecheng's heart!

Look! Look!
What is foresight?
Well~ this is the benefit of establishing a character.

The high-end image is extremely fragile, but the dirty, rotten and smelly reputation remains.

The intern Xian Zi has falsely accused Zhu Jun. Why don’t we try Zhen Jiecheng instead?

"Uncle Hat, even though she was the one who called the police, I was the one who was molested!"

"Evidence? Does my name being Zhen Jiecheng count?"

"I only like the big ones, never touch the small ones!"

Chatting, gossiping, and gossiping, Zhen Jiecheng wasted time bit by bit, waiting for the relevant box office information to come.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous. After all, it was an investment of over 100 million dollars, and I even had a share in it.

It's all pretend, but it doesn't make others feel hypocritical.

Zhen Jiecheng has been pretending all the time, and he has even done a great job of pretending. He pretends to be as if it is natural, and not pretending would instead create the effect of "excessive modesty is excessive pride".

Just pretend to the end!

"Shishi, look at the way our senior is leisurely smoking. Doesn't he look like the ancient Chinese saying 'One who is not overjoyed when winning, nor panicked when losing, and who has thunder in his chest but a calm face, is worthy of being promoted to general'?"

Yang Mi just attended the premiere red carpet yesterday, and today she went to a commercial performance and committed suicide again.

As soon as he came back to life, he dragged Liu Shishi into the company. He planned to use Director Jing's back door to get his allies in as well.

"Yeah! Director Zhen has a lot of ravines in his chest, and of course he looks relaxed and at ease." Liu Shishi nodded, "I've said it before, Director Zhen has a maturity that doesn't match his age!"

"There are ravines on the chest? I have them too!" Yang Mi pulled at his collar, "Look, Shishi, is it deep?"

"But it's not stable at all. It's always shaking."

"How shameless of you!" Liu Shishi spat.

But I couldn't help but lift it up. The heavy weight was a contrast to my naked body.
"Bah! I'll shake you to death!"

So he withdrew his gaze, stopped hurting himself, and turned his attention back to Zhen Jiecheng who was chatting with Ning Hao.

Tall, big frame. Mmm, steady!
Big eyes and thick eyebrows. Hmm, steady!
The way she flicks the ash is really elegant, and so is her sitting posture.

Full of the mature style of a successful uncle!

Unlike the Taiwanese Thunderbolt Tiger in the crew of "Startling by Each Step", who is already forty years old but still pretends to be both young and mature all day long.

The tender ones are too artificial and the cooked ones are too greasy.

Not stable at all!

As she thought about it, Liu Shishi couldn't help but start comparing from all aspects.

When it comes to the opposite sex, everyone from animals to humans follows the standard of merit in choosing a mate, and Liu Shishi is no exception.

Whether to do it or not is another matter. Can't you think about it for a while?
But before she could think twice, Liu Shishi's expression fell.

"Alas~ I don't want the young ones, why do I like the old ones?"

"Look at Director Jiang Wen, he is 15 years older than Zhou Yun. Look at Director Kai Ge, he is 16 years younger than Cheng Hongdai. And Director Gu Changwei and Director Jia Zhangke, which one of them is not holding his little wife?"

Liu Shishi bit her lip, feeling an inexplicable resentment.

"Aren't they your buddies and seniors? Why can't you learn something from them?"

"Shishi, Shishi?"

"Ah? What's wrong, Mimi."

"I've been calling you for a long time, why are you standing there in a daze?" Yang Mi followed Liu Shishi's gaze and saw Ning Hao and Zhen Jiecheng.

But I just thought that my best friend was eager to participate in the script project they were discussing, and didn't think much about it.

After all, the first rule as an artist is to seek improvement.

No serious artist would spend all day thinking about gossip and put personal life above work.

"Follow me, Tiantian is already in the company!"

"By the way, remember one thing: when we are talking about serious matters, call him Director Jing, and when we are talking about other things, call him Tiantian."

"Director Jing!"

As long as she is not shouting "Director Qian", Yang Mi's main voice is loud.

"Hello, Director Jing."

In contrast, Liu Shishi seemed very petty, which made Yang Mi particularly disappointed in her and made her understand Cai Yinong's resentment towards her more and more.

"Mimi, Shishi, why call us Director Jing? Call us Tiantian!" Jingtian said dissatisfiedly while holding the folder.

"It's like this, Director Jing, I want to talk to you about the script of Love Is Not Blind. When working, we should refer to each other by their positions. Isn't this the rule set by senior?" "Oh, then wait a moment, I'll give the things to senior first." Jing Tian said, and walked towards the office. After a pause, he felt that this was a bit impolite, so he waved his hand, "Well, you two can come with me."

"Director Ning is here too, I can introduce him to Shishi."

Jing Tian became more and more adept at handling interpersonal relationships.

Every pore of her sweet smile, every gesture, and even every punctuation mark in her words exude the temperament of a "succubus" from the inside out.

Except for Lu Chuan, everyone was young or old, male or female.

Even the Pekingese dog raised by the sanitation worker wagged its tail at her, and the silly bird that might die suddenly at any time was not stingy in trying to please her.

In Guo Fan's words: It's great to be rich! The food fed to animals is better than what I eat!

Then Jing Tian moved a few boxes of snacks to Guo Fan's dormitory, which made Guo Fan laugh and cry: Now he is better than an animal, but... is "better than an animal" a compliment?

For Liu Shishi, including the premiere of "Never Return", this is only the second time they have met Jing Tian, ​​but the kind and enthusiastic image of Jing Tian has been deeply rooted in her mind.

Mimi said: Tiantian is half a student of the senior.

As the old saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together.

Tiantian is so good, how can Director Zhen be bad?
It's just a different way of expression, the essence is the same!

"Senior!"

"Senior!"

"Why are you yelling? I'm not blind." Zhen Jiecheng glared at Jing Tian and Yang Mi.

Seeing this, Liu Shishi, whose voice was not loud to begin with, hummed even more quietly.

"Hello Director Zhen, Hello Director Ning."

"Shishi is here too, please sit down!" Zhen Jiecheng said enthusiastically.

Whenever he sees Blind Sister, Zhen Jiecheng can't help but be moved by her.

Determined to support five elderly people, such a sense of responsibility comes from a young girl.

What a rare and dazzling quality this is among the older fairies who will write in Yu Xiaohong’s books and Weibo in the future: “My wish is that my husband dies quickly, so that I can escape from the confinement with my property and enjoy a free life”!
Blind sister, this is really my love!

In view of the friendly cooperation with Tangren in the screen field, and the fact that her senior sister Sun Li gave birth to a daughter named Duoduo.

Zhen Jiecheng even thought that when he had some free time in the future, he might as well create an original script in which the heroine is blind, thus rewarding Blind Sister for standing as a lofty monument amidst the atmosphere of rampant feminism!
After greeting Blind Sister in a gentle voice, Zhen Jiecheng turned his gaze to Jing Tian and Yang Mi.

"What are you two doing in my office?"

"I had something to do, so I brought Mimi and Shishi in." Jing Tian replied.

"If you have something to say, you have to fart."

"Senior, please help me take a look at the script of "Love Is Not Blind" and give it a review~"

Guo Fan couldn't get any help, but Jing Tian had no intention of following his senior's example of self-reliance.

After watching Those Years, Jing Tian has a clear understanding of himself: I can learn it at a glance! I can do it myself, and my goal is just to make as few mistakes as possible, preferably no mistakes.

The depth of art cannot be explored, but that does not stop Jing Tian from liking to sit in front of the monitor and shout through the loudspeaker.

I happened to go to the Management Department to visit my senior and attended a class by the way.

“The other side of a director is a project manager!”

When the professor made this insightful comment, Jing Tian was suddenly enlightened.

What a coincidence! I’m Jing Tian, ​​and I’m short of resources!

As long as I do a good job of integrating resources and overall management, who can say that I am not a good director?

The longer the teacher lives, the longer I will last!

The more awesome my seniors are, the more awesome I am!

The more progress my brother makes, the stronger I will be!

On the "write and direct" road that has been worn out by predecessors, such as choosing the right male lead and inviting the right people to visit the set, Jing Tian surprisingly developed a brand new version of the director's career plan.

Of course, the most basic directing skills are still required.

Jing Tian allows his identity as a "project manager" to raise the upper limit of his projects, but he must maintain the lower limit of his works himself.

Otherwise, if Lu Chuan despised me, I would be too ashamed to face anyone!
"What's the scrutiny on the script of Love Is Not Blind? Isn't it just a simple urban sitcom?" Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, "Think about it yourself, don't bother me!"

"Senior~"

"It's no use calling me daddy!"

"Really? I don't believe it." Jing Tian blinked, "I want to try."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhen Jiecheng hurriedly stopped him. Damn it, I wouldn't dare to answer even if you called me dad.

"Can you give me some free time? You keep giving me things to do all day long!"

"No way~ I'm very obedient, okay!" Jing Tian pouted, "Wanda Cinema's temporary box office data has just been calculated, and I sent it to you immediately."

“It’s not just the data, but also the estimated first-day box office value calculated.”

"I have been watching and urging you on the whole time. Even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard, right?"

Without waiting for Zhen Jiecheng to express his good intentions, Jing Tian directly handed over the folder.

"Before I came here, the box office of Wanda Cinemas in China was close to 10 million."

"Other cinema chains are similar to Wanda, and have fully booked Interstellar! Apart from If You Are the One 2, which still has a small market, other movies are basically silent."

"There is still one night left. According to the prediction made by Wanda Cinemas, the first-day box office of Interstellar in mainland China is expected to be 2/3 of that of Lu Chuan!"

"How much more?" Ning Hao on the side was stunned.

"2/3 Lu Chuan!" Jing Tian raised his eyebrows, "How about I change units and do a few "Looking for Guns" at o'clock?"

The emergence of any hit commercial blockbuster is a disaster for other movies in the box office market at the same time.

Feng Xiaogang, who waited until late at night and got the inside information through Huayi, was very lucky that "If You Are the One 2" was moved up from the 22nd to the 16th.

Otherwise, if it were to collide with "Interstellar" just in the middle of its release, it would undoubtedly result in a considerable loss in the total box office revenue.

It is foreseeable that one movie after another will be withdrawn from theaters early due to failure to sell tickets, and "Interstellar" will surely become the dominant film in the mainland market.

A totally unrestrained overlord who is even indulged by those above him!

"The key will be given to you, but don't even think about booking the entire theater for your company. Unless one day you shoot a serious domestic science fiction film, rather than a co-production with Hollywood." Han Shanping made the call immediately.

The voice was trembling a little, with excitement, yearning and regret in it.

"Alas! I thought too much. If our domestic box office market wants to grow to the point where it can support a large-scale production with an investment of over 100 million dollars, let alone making a profit, even if it is a small loss, it will take at least seven or eight years to develop at the current momentum."

“I hope I can see that day before I leave office.”

"Jiecheng, if the conditions are ripe, you can't be lazy!"

"Yes!" Zhen Jiecheng replied solemnly.

"Okay, I'm hanging up now. Let's talk tomorrow during the day. I have to go and arrange publicity matters. I'll finish as soon as possible and go to bed! I'm getting old and can't stay up late anymore."

Han Shanping hung up the phone and looked at the statistical table on the desk again.

"3847 million!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"I don't know if it can surpass Avatar's 13 billion, but at least it's a record for the first day box office! One of the mountains that have been weighing on my head has been lifted! The page has been turned!"

"Damn it, that's awesome!"

The publicity has been stepped up, with television, print media, and the Internet all underway.

"Matthew McConaughey's acting is amazing! Damn Zhen Jiecheng, he made me cry so hard in the cinema!"

"'A parent shouldn't have to watch their child die', did anyone get defensive with this line?"

"I'm so stupid, let me say this: Damn, why do I feel so sorry for the hero's eldest son? Hathaway is so pretty, and his daughter Murphy is not ugly either."

"You're not alone upstairs!"

There are discussions about humanities content and there are discussions about scientific theories.

Where there are those who praise, there are those who find fault.

Even though Zhen Jiecheng had already corrected many problems in the original version, such as why people could taste beer freely when food was scarce, he fixed what could be fixed, and tore down and restructured what could not be fixed.

But which egg in this world doesn’t have bones in it?

Of course, most of the feedback is positive, and even the doubts are rational.

Looking at the high score of 9.5 on Douban, Zhen Jiecheng can hold his head high with confidence: Damn, this is really not fake!

Although this rating will definitely drop later, it should not be lower than the 9.2 points of the original version.

Countless positive reviews + official publicity + Zhen Jiecheng’s reputation.

This has led to a surge in box office data!
Day 2: Box office exceeded 40 million.

On the third day, as "Interstellar" broke the record of "Avatar" for the fastest box office revenue of 100 million yuan with the advantages of increased household registration and number of screens, good news also came from the North American market.

The box office statistics for the first weekend are out: $8071 million, ranking first on the North American weekly chart.

"Why is it only 80 million?" Jing Tian looked dissatisfied.

"What are you thinking about! Is 80 million too little? It's quite a lot!" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile.

Compared to the original version's first-day box office of 1700 million and first weekend box office of 5000 million, this result directly proves that Zhen Jiecheng's changes to the movie were correct!

The reorganized timeline and long-shot design are more popular with audiences and more well-received in the market than the neat original version.

"Okay! Don't report any more box office information to me. I need to get busy with other things!"

Feel at ease!
I know it well!
Next, it’s time to bring warmth to our dear foreign movie fans with "Joker"!
