Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 442 Is that 10 billion?

The two Huayi brothers began to think about how they could make a good movie or a special effects blockbuster if they put in some effort.

Not to mention such a high box office, even if it was a little less, it would still be able to greatly boost the stock market.

Maybe there’s no need to do so much capital operations?
"Brother, forget it. You need a screenwriter of Xiao Chen's caliber first, and then a reliable commercial director, before you can hope to achieve a similar effect.

Which younger director can reach this level? "

The styles of past great directors are almost fixed, so there is no need to think too much about them.

Wang Zhongjun nodded in understanding. Indeed, it was too difficult.

Just give up as much as possible.

All the effort might not be appreciated.

It is more profitable to buy a company, manage capital and engage in real estate.

Other filmmakers also watched this interview with Chen Linfeng, and what he talked about about the Spring Festival period and the role of large-scale publicity and promotion is still worthy of recognition.

But the previous part made everyone a little uneasy.

He praises Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" so much, it's obvious that he really loves it.

Zhang Yimou was a little jealous, because we won the Oscar together.

Even if you like it, you should like "Sunset" the most.

Chen Kaige was even more dissatisfied. I like your literary works so much, shouldn’t you reciprocate and praise my "Farewell My Concubine" more?

Can we still happily discuss literature together?

Feng Xiaogang, well, Feng Xiaogang has no opinion.

He had long been accustomed to the fact that big directors in the industry ignored him.

When they are showing off and praising each other, no one will definitely remember him.

These three veteran directors are still able to sit still and are not too concerned about the box office performance of "Your Name".

It’s different with other directors.

For example, Ning Hao was full of envy when chatting with Huang Bo.

"Hiroko, I wish I could be like this junior and shock the whole world."

He was frustrated and even angry, "But now I can't even release my movie."

"That day will come. Just don't relax and don't get discouraged."

Huang Bo ignored the other party's last sentence, but it seemed like he was responding to it.

Xu Zheng once again thought of the idea that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

There is no time to hesitate. Director Chen was able to transition from an actor to a director and is now doing so brilliantly.

I'm not saying that compared to him, at least I'm not too bad, right?
A road movie plus a comedy, that's for sure.

He dialed Wang Baoqiang's number and decided to talk things over with this young brother.

Guo Fan was showing off to his friends and family. He also had a part in "Your Name". He helped to communicate the special effects of the male protagonist traveling back to three years ago.

Looking at his friends' admiring eyes, he felt happy, but he also had another thought in his mind.

"One day, I want to direct a movie of this quality myself, so that my teacher won't be the only one who can surpass me."

Xu Ke, Lin Chaoxian, Lu Yang, Wen Muye...

Filmmakers were deeply shocked and came up with new ideas.

In an era where people are content with earning 1.5 or million a day, a monster appears that earns million a day.

It’s such a huge stimulation for everyone.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the box office closed at 1.3 million yuan.

With box office revenue exceeding 100 million yuan for three consecutive days, the future box office trend of this movie can be basically determined.

Several forecasting agencies have pegged the film’s final box office at over 15 billion yuan.

Chen Linfeng didn't care too much about it. This was the first Spring Festival period in China, and without previous data to refer to, there was nothing to predict.

Netizens care about this very much.

They are like insiders and are very concerned about the box office data of "Your Name".

"Really 15 billion? Doesn't that exceed Avatar?"

"As long as the data can be maintained and not drop too much in the next few days, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"I'm so nervous. I hope I can keep it up. It feels like I'm in a movie myself."

"I've already used it three times. Many of my friends have also used it multiple times. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Such a good movie should earn more at the box office. I hope it will exceed 15 billion."

"..."

At the same time, the Sixth Princess started a special program on "Your Name", which has almost become a special program in the Spring Festival series.

Host: "Why do you think "Your Name" has received so much attention and achieved such good results? What did Director Chen Linfeng do right?"

Expert: “First, it’s a film directed by Chen Linfeng, and he co-stars with Liu Qianqian. The collaboration of these two top domestic stars will attract much attention from the public.

Second, in the early stage of the release, we cooperated with Maoyan and invested huge marketing resources, including patch ads, social platform promotion, offline promotion and other promotional methods to further expand the group of followers.

Third, choosing the Spring Festival period is a stroke of genius.

During the Spring Festival, everyone is at home, and watching movies is actually a very good way to entertain themselves.

Last year, "Avatar" performed well during the Spring Festival. Many companies actually noticed it, but none of them dared to take the risk as Director Chen did, or perhaps it could be said that this was also confidence.

Going all in during the Spring Festival and monopolizing a good period that no one has discovered before is the winning strategy.

Fourth, the half-price subsidized tickets offered by the Maoyan ticket purchasing platform make many people feel that they can get a discount.

The fifth and most crucial point is that "Your Name" is of very good quality and has created a word-of-mouth effect.

Everyone who has seen it says it's good, which attracts friends and relatives, online viewers, and new students who are curious and go to the cinema as well. This cycle continues, increasing the heat of public opinion.

All these factors combined to create the box office miracle of "Your Name."

"..."

In fact, at this time, various film and television companies have almost figured out why "Your Name" achieved such miraculous results.

Just as this expert said, "Your Name" had everything going for it, and it wasn't on guard against anyone the entire time.

Everyone can see clearly. The results of their own investigation are similar to those of the experts, with only one more factor in the scheduling of films.

After all, this Spring Festival, there is really no movie competing with Xiao Chen.

These five, or six, points in themselves can be considered as the key factors for achieving high box office.

Some film and television companies have begun to find ways to replicate some of the elements or techniques as much as possible.

For example, for the first one, if Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian can’t get along, a lower-profile one will do.

Think about Van Loon in Taken. The same principle applies.

As expected, blockbusters, big investments and big stars are more likely to attract audiences to the cinema.

Furthermore, a large amount of publicity and promotion is also a standard feature of blockbuster movies, which goes without saying.

As for the release date, we will definitely have to fight for it after the Spring Festival, unless Xiao Chen has his eyes on this time again.

Ticket subsidies are what really catch the eyes of many film and television companies.

It’s a good thing, just like a discount in a supermarket. As long as the price is reduced, won’t the audience still rush to watch the movie?
They know the math very well. Just look at "Your Name" and you'll see.

In fact, not all items are discounted, nor are they discounted for long periods of time.

In fact, there are no discounts starting from the third year of junior high school.

But the box office of "Your Name" has not changed much.

This is enough to show that it is entirely possible to use ticket subsidies to attract audiences, expand word of mouth, and boost the overall box office.

Some film companies have seen something deeper.

This time, "Your Name" has an exclusive schedule.

Other times, there are many competitors.

Ticket subsidies can attract more audiences in the early stages and help secure screenings, further expanding the box office.

It's so useful.

Everyone is eyeing this new way of playing.

Xu Wu has received many calls in recent days, some asking about relevant procedures and some directly expressing the intention to cooperate.

The year has not been smooth.

But he enjoyed it and was full of a sense of ownership as a worker.

Ok?
It seems like something is missing.

"Isn't there one last one?" a boss asked his subordinate.

"Boss, Chen Linfeng's work is too difficult to produce. Let's do something simpler and more practical."

"..."

All I can say is that there is a reason why domestic films have performed poorly in recent years.

On the fourth and fifth days of the Chinese New Year, "Your Name" closed with 1.2 million and 1 million respectively.

This is also the last day to reach hundreds of millions.

After the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, some workers who start work early may have to go to work.

There are also some high school students who have to go to school.

The overall number of moviegoers will decrease slightly.

Therefore, in the next two days, the box office remained at an average of around 8 million.

After 10 days, the total revenue reached 9.3 million, which has already caught up with the domestic box office of "Taken".

At the earliest tomorrow, or at the latest the day after tomorrow, we can easily cross the 10 billion mark.

No one, including Chen Linfeng himself, expected this.

The year has just come to 2011, after "Avatar" dealt a heavy blow to Chinese filmmakers.

Just one year later, domestic films may surpass it.

These days, almost every time the box office results are announced to the public, there are a lot of calls coming to Chen Linfeng.

Sometimes, even before the data is announced, someone will know the data and come to congratulate in advance.

Obviously, they are extremely concerned about the box office performance of "Your Name".

Among them are familiar directors and actors, as well as teachers and colleagues from Yanying School.

Friends and relatives like China Railway Corporation and Zhao Changtian also came to show their concern.

There are also leaders of relevant departments like Director Zhao.

Such a big jackpot was created during the Chinese New Year and it was reported in almost all kinds of news. It was truly a big sensation.

It’s similar with Liu Xixi.

As the heroine in the movie, on par with Chen Linfeng, she received no less attention than her boyfriend.

It is the Chinese New Year at this time, and many companies, TV stations and media are on holiday.

Otherwise the phone would have been ringing off the hook.

In fact, it is almost the same now. Zhang Xin and Sister Mei, as well as the staff who stayed in the company, have all received invitations for many years.

Unfortunately, both of them will go abroad to film after the New Year and have no time at all.

Liu Qianqian didn't feel sorry at all and felt that she was very smart.

Fortunately, she has filming as an excuse. She doesn't want to be as busy as she was last year, when she was almost going crazy.

The female stars in the industry are so envious.

With such a huge wave of popularity, even if you don’t want to take it, there are plenty of people who do.

Too bad it can't be transferred.

I can only watch Liu Qianqian squander such a gift.

The more she has, the more she should be given. The less she has, the more she should be given. No matter how crazy you are, there is no point in giving her more.

Nothing in the world is like this.

On February 2, the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, the box office of "Your Name" was 10 million the day before, and the total box office officially exceeded 7300 billion.

The whole network was in an uproar!
