After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 305 The most brutal Lunar New Year movie
If You Are the One 2 and Let the Bullets Fly face off!
The industry was shaken for a while, and the confrontation between the two major directors in Beijing circle on the same stage attracted the attention of countless media.

Of course, Huayi and Yinghuang would not miss this good opportunity to promote the movie.

Both parties held their respective film press conferences at the same time, on the same street, in two large hotels.

Facing the media, Jiang Wen said very manly that he and Xiaogang are good friends and he is very happy to compete with Director Feng in the Lunar New Year box office. Audiences who have watched If You Are the One 2 can go and watch Let the Bullets Fly, which will definitely not disappoint the audience.

Jiang Wen is more reserved.

Feng Kuzi was more direct. He said that in the entire Lunar New Year box office, only Let the Bullets Fly was qualified to be his opponent. He wanted to break the record of Earthquake and raise the box office record of domestic films even higher!
A reporter asked, how much is some?

Feng Kuazi said confidently, 700 million!

This news soon reached Jiang Wen.

Facing Feng Kuazi’s bold words.

Jiang Wen actually had no idea and didn't dare to talk about the box office.

I just want to say that Director Feng is still as confident as ever. Confidence is a good thing. Domestic films need such confident people. I hope Feng will always be so confident. Then there will be hope for domestic films. Don't go into real estate while filming a movie.

It's revealing someone's true colors!
Now not only Feng Kuazi was angry, but Wang Dajun was also angry.

Wang Dajun laughed and said Jiang Wen was talking nonsense.

The film and television city is not unique to Huayi. Warner Bros., Universal, and Disney all have their own film and television city. This is a market that film companies must explore when they reach a certain stage of development.

Huayi is just taking the lead. The film and television city plan is to explore the development of domestic films, not to enter the real estate industry. Huayi’s focus has always been on movies, and it has never changed.

After Wang Dajun finished speaking, Feng Kuzi picked up the microphone and directly criticized Jiang Wen Youcai, saying that the movie had no box office success, The Sun Also Rises, the audience couldn't understand it, and it flopped at the box office.

The media reporters simply ignored Wang Dajun's words, but Feng Kuzi's words were conveyed word for word to the Let the Bullets Fly press conference.

When Jiang Wen heard Feng Kuzi say that he had talent but no box office success, he couldn't sit still.

He didn't talk about the box office, but instead pulled Ge You out to take the blame.

He first praised Ge You, and then said that Ge You was very busy during this year's Lunar New Year holiday, with three movies released.

As the male lead, he had to run roadshows for both The Orphan of Zhao and If You Are the One 2.

As a supporting actor, he also had to run the roadshow for Let the Bullets Fly.

Ge You is friends with Jiang Wen and Feng Kuzi, but he doesn't want to be bothered by both, so he stayed at home sick and didn't attend any press conferences.

It's a pity that the pot is thrown out of the sky while you are sitting at home.

He was still pushed out by Jiang Wen to block the bullet.

Feng Kuazi and Jiang Wen became more and more excited as they talked. Jiang Wen said that Feng Xiaogang would do anything to get the box office.

Feng Xiaogang laughed and said that Jiang Wen was too young and was showing off his sword in front of Guan Gong, which was not appreciative.

The two big directors in Beijing had a passionate confrontation. Before the press conference was over, both of them were on the hot search list.

At the beginning, Li Mingyang was just watching the fun like the crowd, thinking that the two had finally started fighting.

However, as time went on, Li Mingyang discovered that these two guys had a small quarrel every day and a big quarrel every three days, and they were arguing about the heat.

The arguments were exciting, but they didn't cross the line and stopped at the right point. What they said were things that people all over the country knew.

Thunder, little rain.

Here, Feng Kuazi and Jiang Wen were filled with gunpowder.

Over there, the Laughing Jianghu and the Orphan of Zhao were fighting privately, at an extremely brutal level.

Both sides not only made a big fuss about film scheduling.

They also attacked the cinema’s promotional posters.

As December approaches, many theaters in the north don’t even have posters for Orphan of Zhao.

The poster of "Da Xiao Jiang Hu" was hung in the most conspicuous position.

The Shanghai Film Group was not immune to this, as it was one of the largest box office cities in China and all its cinemas did not have posters for The Laughing Man.

They are all lying in the warehouse, not being used at all.

And Bernard finally started to make an effort, joining forces with Wanda, Dadi, and other small and medium-sized theaters to make a guaranteed bet, and got up to 50% of the screenings, surpassing the 40% of The Orphan of Zhao in one fell swoop.

Four movies, four major production companies are fighting fiercely, and the publicity offensives are getting stronger and stronger.

Since If You Are the One 2 was scheduled.

Almost every day there are press conferences, internal revelations, publicity leaks, and interview videos about the four films...

The good shows continued, fully arousing the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies.

Others worked very hard to promote the film, grab the film schedule, buy notices...

Although your name is also being promoted, it has also cost a lot of money.

But in comparison, it feels like your name is just a game of house.

If you don't look carefully, you won't find any news about your name on the entertainment news on the four major portals, People's Daily and other mainstream websites.

Zuoshandiao was angry that Li Mingyang did not fight back, and once again cut your name from the screening schedule.

The first-day screening schedule of Your Name dropped sharply, leaving only 15%.

China Film has cut its screening schedule to zero.

Among them, Wanda holds 10%. Wanda only has a total share of 13%, which has been given in place.

"You're really good at cutting... You f*cking let me off the stage and unblock my Weibo account!"

After Li Mingyang finished complaining, he received a call from Wang Changtian.

Wang Changtian was waiting for him at the hotel entrance, and Zuoshandiao wanted to see him.

Li Mingyang went downstairs and got into the car.

Wang Changtian saw that Li Mingyang looked indifferent and said with a wry smile: "You are really patient."

"He's just threatening. Will he really not schedule the film? No way." "Although it's just a threat, if you don't take action, the final schedule given by China Film will be very, very ugly. You are now caught in the middle, with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Orphan of Zhao" in front and "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2" behind. The only time left for you to rush to the box office is the first weekend."

During the release period of Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2, they will take up at least 80% of the screening schedule.

"What can I do? I don't have any geographical advantage, media advantage, government-booked theater, or official platform. I've been banned on Weibo. What do you expect me to do?"

"..."

This year's Lunar New Year box office can be described as the most brutal one in history.

All is given...

Wang Changtian spent more than five million yuan, but there was not even a splash, which shocked him.

The business car did not drive towards China Film Group, but stopped at Changan Club.

Li Mingyang got out of the car and looked at the main entrance of Changan Club. He turned back and said to Wang Changtian, "What does he mean by choosing this place?"

"Since you think there is a problem, then there must be a problem. He has met, or is about to meet, someone who should not be in China Film."

Li Mingyang nodded, probably having something in mind.

While it is important to hype up the film market, it is even more important to attract capital.

If Zuoshandiao can push BAT into the film industry this year.

That will undoubtedly be a huge benefit to the entire domestic film industry.

But the domestic film industry is too small and not profitable... BAT would rather donate hundreds of millions to add icing on the cake for domestic films.

I don't want to fall into this fire pit.

Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian came to a dimly lit cigar room on the third floor.

The mountain eagle smokes a cigar and looks at his phone.

gloomy.

"Hello, Mr. Han."

"Hello, Third Master."

Zuoshandiao pointed silently to the row of chairs on the left.

Li Mingyang found a seat casually and sat down. Then Zuoshandiao's secretary came to him, carrying a cigar box containing ten cigars of different thicknesses and colors.

"Director Li, please choose one."

"I don't quite understand. Please help me pick a lighter one."

The secretary nodded, then came to Wang Changtian and asked him to choose one.

Wang Changtian waved his hand and asked his secretary to help him choose.

The secretary went to the long table nearby and professionally selected cigars for the two men, roasted them, cut them, and then handed them to them.

From beginning to end, Zuoshandiao never raised his head and kept staring at his phone.

Seems to be looking at something.

After a long while, Zuoshandiao put down his phone, turned around and said to Li Mingyang in a friendly manner: "You have been very peaceful recently. Others are fighting fiercely, but you have no reaction at all."

"Boss Wang told you, I only want 300 million box office."

"Oh, 2 million, you think million box office is a piece of cake, you only have six days at most, you will face If You Are the One and Let the Bullets Fly, the early promotion is not good, let alone million, it is even a question whether you can exceed million."

"It should be easy to make over 100 million. Running Man is so popular and I'm so famous. There's no reason why I can't beat Yang Mi." Li Mingyang said.

"You are famous, but there are others who are more famous than you. You are ruthless, but there are others who are more ruthless than you... Never underestimate those old-timers. Although they may not be as imaginative as you, their old-fashioned ways are also beyond your reach."

"Let's not talk about others. What do you think of Zhao Dashan's use of geographical advantages?"

Li Mingyang smiled, "This has nothing to do with me, why should I think about it? The ones who are worried are Shanghai Film Group and Director Chen."

Zuoshandiao took a puff of his cigar and saw that Li Mingyang was so relaxed. He knew that he had placed all his hopes on Running Man.

This variety show is really bullshit...

The ratings were just as high as the box office of "Aftershock".

As regular guests, Li Mingyang and Jing Tian’s fame soared and they were at the peak of their popularity.

"Although you are excellent and Running Man made you and Jing Tian famous, I don't think that the popularity of variety shows alone can withstand the impact of Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2. If the fire is not strong enough, it will be swallowed by a bigger fire."

"You want me to make the fire burn even more fiercely, but you banned me from Weibo, what can I do?"

"Without Weibo, you are helpless? Aren't they banned too!"

How can it be the same? They don’t know how to play!
Li Mingyang shook his head. "There's nothing to worry about. If the goal is just 300 million, it won't be difficult as long as China Film Group schedules enough films."

"It's not that difficult. Haha, since you asked for a schedule, I'll give it to you. Your name will be shown on the first weekend. I'll give you 10,000 screenings every day. But I'll make it clear in advance that if you can't get 300 million, you won't get a schedule at China Film."

"Betting again?"

"How can you win without gambling? Let the Bullets Fly was held back by If You Are the One 2. The only one who can beat Feng Kuzi this year is you. You are not really going to give Feng Kuzi million, are you?"

"..."

"Today is November 11th. You still have a month to promote it well. Even good wine needs to be marketed in a hidden alley. Besides, no one can tell whether your movie is good or not."

China Film Corporation conducted several internal viewing tests with more than 7.3 people. After excluding the lowest and highest scores, the total score was .

Most people rated it between 7 and 8.

It's totally incomparable with Let the Bullets Fly... Let the Bullets Fly has an average score of over 9 points.

Very, very much.
