Chapter 269 Hot "Love Apartment"

In fact, the reporters really like to ask questions about the box office of Chen Xi's movies...

However, Chen Xi's reply generally seems to be exaggerated. Of course, the final facts usually prove that what he said can be realized... and it is very technically feasible... After all, this is Chen Xi, and this is his ability.

Facing this kind of box office question now, Chen Xi directly said: "My goal is to make the box office reach the level of "BJ Meets Seattle"!"

"BJ Meets Seattle" has broken many records and stood at the pinnacle of Chinese movie box office history. From this perspective, Chen Xi's current statement is already relatively big, but compared to Chen Xi According to everyone's imagination, this box office does not seem to be particularly high.

"From what we know now, "Source Code" is already preparing for an overseas release. So, do you have an overseas box office target for "Source Code"?" The reporters continued to ask questions.

Chinese films can go global and get high box office overseas. In fact, this is the hope of many Chinese filmmakers and even many Chinese movie fans.

And Chen Xi so far seems likely to take over the fire and the mantle in the hands of the older generation of Chinese filmmakers... to reach a new level. From this point of view, Chen Xi's future still feels uncertain. With a bright future, the successive successes of "Raid" and "Xiu Chun Knife" are gradually proving this point, and more and more people have a strong sense of expectation for Chen Xi.

"Raid" and "Embroidered Spring Knife" have won more than 5000 million US dollars at the box office overseas, which is the best among Chinese directors in recent years... So this one seems to be even better in many places. The powerful "Source Code", everyone also thinks that it should be able to make Chen Xi's overseas box office to a higher level.

"Overseas box office... well, if it's purely about the goal... I also hope that the overseas box office of this film can win [-] million US dollars. Of course, this is just a goal I hope. As for the specific outcome, it depends on that." After the show!"

...After answering these questions, Chen Xi really doesn't want to bother with the matter of "Source Code", because next he just wants to plunge into the bed and sleep well for a few days and nights. Said... After all, he is really too sleepy now, and the feeling of lack of sleep for a long time is really uncomfortable, and Chen Xi understands this very deeply now.

After this finalized press conference, many people were discussing the issue of "Source Code". There were also many news sections in newspapers and on the Internet about "Source Code". The words Chen Xi said when the film was finished are now appearing and affecting everyone's thoughts.

"Chen Xi boasted that the global box office is nearly [-] million U.S. dollars, and he is full of confidence in "Source Code." Some titles like this continue to appear in front of everyone's eyes. Of course, in fact, Chen Xi is also true to "Source Code". It’s full of confidence... Many people saw such a title at the beginning and thought it was just a headline, but when you clicked on it, you will find that Chen Xi didn’t say that at all. Some of the words he said were taken out of context and had to come up with some new excuses...

But after actually reading the specific content of these reports, they also have to say that they were still too young: these reports are true, and Chen Xi really said something like this...

This incident made everyone feel very distressed, Chen Xi, this guy, really often utters bold words!
However, he has always been able to realize the bold words he said before, so even if some people say that he is Chen Dapao, no one will say that he is just a talkative person. In fact, many of the things he made are simply It is possible for someone who is not talking about it to do it. Chen Xi has some real achievements.

So everyone is really looking forward to seeing the release of "Source Code". It would be great if the box office of this movie can really progress as Chen Xi imagined.

...Liu Yifei's mother and daughter invited Chen Xi to a meal. This was after "Source Code" was finished. When the two of them saw Chen Xi now, they both had such a familiar feeling on their faces... It seemed that Chen Xi and them were almost old acquaintances.

Chen Xi himself really didn't feel how familiar he was with Liu Yifei's mother and daughter. On the contrary, he felt that in the movie, there were many situations that made Liu Yifei feel a little embarrassed.

Therefore, at this meal, Chen Xi took the lead in saying: "Yi Fei, I have a lot of things going on during this time, and I am under a lot of pressure when filming. Maybe sometimes I speak a little bit harshly. Don't put it down." In my heart, I also hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.”

Liu Yifei looked at Chen Xi and said: "Director Chen, I should actually thank you for your care. During this period of time, I feel that I have made some progress in acting, and I feel that my understanding of acting has also improved. Some, these are all thanks to you! So today we also specially treat you to dinner as some thanks."

Chen Xi nodded: "These are as they should be! However, if there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, maybe I will still be as strict as before..."

Liu Yifei smiled suddenly. This guy really doesn't have a lot of smiles on his face. Usually, he basically has a slightly cold expression. Anyway, it's the kind that makes people not see too many rich expressions, but she This smile now is something that makes people feel from the heart.

"Mr. Chen seems to be a completely different person. Why is he so nervous now?" Liu Yifei suddenly said it directly. In fact, the most accessible part of Chen Xi is his hippie smile. Xi was completely spoiled by the usual hippie smile, so now she is relatively casual with Chen Xi and even directly says the words that appear now.

Chen Xi shook her head helplessly and said, "I've always been such a serious person, maybe sometimes I'll pretend to be approachable..."

Liu Yifei smiled even more happily: "Okay..."

At this time, Liu Yifei's mother said to Chen Xi: "Director Chen, I think we are very successful in choosing you this time. I have also seen some of your "Source Code". I think it will be a very good movie. I only hope that you will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

"Of course, there will be." Chen Xi said.

...In August, a TV series of Deep Space Films and Television went online almost quietly: "Love Apartment". There are some problems like plagiarism, so Chen Xi is not only unwilling to have too much relationship with this TV series, but even the entire Deep Space Film and Television is unwilling to have too much relationship with this movie, Therefore, the current "Love Apartment" has not gone through the kind of enthusiasm that Shenkong Film and Television has always given to its own TV series. Many people do not know the relationship between this TV series and Shenkong Film and Television. There is a sense of cottage on the Internet, so there are indeed not many people who pay attention to the TV series, and some people even think that the people who follow this TV series are some non-mainstream.

Under such circumstances, "Love Apartment" was quite coldly received at the beginning, but during this period of time, Chen Xi and the others signed contracts with TV stations that required continuous broadcasting, so the current TV stations have no unilateral termination of the contract.

However, under such circumstances, these TV stations felt a little nervous...

The TV stations that broadcast "Love Apartment" are two satellite TV stations: Dragon TV and Shancheng Satellite TV. Shancheng Satellite TV is also a Southwest TV station. A big reason why Shancheng Satellite TV broadcasts "Love Apartment" is that they are also more envious of their neighbor Nanyun Satellite TV. "Where Are We Going, Dad" has a huge broadcast volume and phenomenal discussion and attention, so now they also want to build a good relationship with Deep Space Film and Television and Chen Xi. Starting from the TV series, try to get along with them step by step. Afterwards, they collaborated on variety shows, allowing themselves to achieve their goal of being a strong variety show.

In addition, they also think that it is a work of Deep Space Film and Television after all, and from this point of view, it is no problem to get high ratings... Who knows, during the real promotion, some accidents occurred in the middle, and Deep Space Film and Television has already released Here comes a stern statement: No matter what, Shancheng Satellite TV is not allowed to use the banner of Chen Xi to promote "Love Apartment": In fact, they wanted to use Chen Xi to promote "Love Apartment" before, but this place has been stopped, and many things are also gone. There was a huge problem. When "Love Apartment" was first broadcast, there were very few broadcasts, and the ratings were very low, almost only at the level of 0.4%. Such ratings were really low beyond their imagination.

Under this circumstance, although it is impossible for them to come directly to blame Shen Kong Film and Television and Chen Xi, they do have some resentment towards Shen Kong Film and Television and Chen Xi in their hearts, and they also feel that "Love Apartment" will It's really a fateful life and life and death are uncertain... It is estimated that the ratings are so far less than 1% in the end, so after a period of time, it will be drawn!
But... At this time, something that no one expected happened: "Love Apartment" blossomed inside the walls and fragrant outside the walls, and suddenly showed everyone something that made them feel magical.

Because "Love Apartment" is broadcast relatively close to the Internet and TV stations, an episode of "Love Apartment" will be updated on the Internet within an hour after the broadcast on the TV station. In fact, the risk of this model is relatively large , and in order to negotiate this model, Chen Xi and the others gave Shancheng Satellite TV a lot in terms of price.

At the beginning of "Love Apartment", it was true that the father did not love the mother and did not love it. In this place where the tide is overturning the waves, "Love Apartment" seems to be going the same way as many TV dramas, ending tragically with very bleak ratings.

However, the current "Love Apartment" has really ushered in a big turning point. When the online version of "Love Apartment" was updated to around the seventh episode, there were a lot of discussions about "Love Apartment" on the Internet. Especially in conjunction with the scarf that more and more people are using now, this kind of discussion on "Love Apartment" grows very quickly, and it seems to be snowballing. By the time the online version of "Love Apartment" was updated to Episode No.12, the discussions about "Love Apartment" on the Internet were almost like a tide, and the amount of horrible discussions became more and more big.

This kind of spontaneous publicity is sometimes much better than the official publicity with all its efforts. After all, spontaneous things come from the audience themselves, so this kind of publicity is easy to be accepted by other people, but the official The publicity itself already represents a natural antipathy to advertising.

"Love Apartment" has gradually become a hot topic in society. There are more and more discussions about "Love Apartment" on the scarf and it has spread to many places.

In this way, the explosion of "Love Apartment" on the Internet has finally begun to counterbalance the ratings of the TV station itself. From the ninth episode of "Love Apartment", the ratings of this TV series have continued to rise, reaching the 11th During the first episode, the ratings of "Love Apartment" have risen directly from 0.4% to 0.9%, and by the 12th episode, this number has already exceeded 1%...

By the time of the 15th episode of "Love Apartment", the audience rating of this TV series was already a terrifying 1.6%. It has grown from 0.4% to the current 1.6%. Came across at a fast speed.

Moreover, the reputation of "Love Apartment" is still maintained, and the ratings of this TV series are still increasing. By the time of the finale of "Love Apartment", the ratings of this TV series have broken through 2 points, becoming the Chinese TV drama market this year A wonderful flower in the world, it has become a movie that completes the classic drama of diaosi's counterattack.

At the same time, when "Love Apartment" reached its finale, the total hit rate had reached more than 1 million. This number is really terrifying in this year of online video sites, and it also caused a lot of trouble for the entire deep space video site. More traffic is coming.
