Chapter 11 Daily Life (11)
Three actors were signed at one time.
It is impossible to treat everyone equally.
Huiwen Tianxia's actors are completely based on Huayi's cast and pursue the strategy of being the best brother and sister.
The number one sister now is Zhao Liying, but what about the future?
One of these three must be particularly valued by Xu Hui!
Five fingers are not very long, and a bowl of water is enough to hold them flat!
"The routes of these three people are different. Hot, I'm going to let her take the movie route unless there is a particularly good TV script, those two, the TV route is mainly..."
"So, are you more optimistic about Dilrai?"
Movies are still different from TV series, the former is always a little more noble than the latter.
"I haven't even said one of my eight characters yet. I'll throw them away from the cinema for two years before I'll talk about it!"
Xu Hui spitted out a mouthful of smoke rings, not wanting to continue the topic.
"Then when are you going to start filming this "Sunshine Sisters"?"
Chen Farong wisely changed the topic.
"Should wait for another week at most, and the preliminary preparations have been completed!"
"Is Chen Jingshen good at doing things?"
"It's really not bad!"
All the preliminary preparations for "Sunshine Sisters" were handed over to Chen Jingshen, who was also very hardworking. In two months, the preliminary preparations were completed very well.
"So when will this movie be released?"
"…National Day, I should compete for the National Day holiday too!"
"National Day?"
Chen Farong frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Sword Rain seems to be scheduled for National Day!"
"…Is that right? Then postpone it a little later, it will be released before November anyway."
It’s a bit embarrassing. The company filmed a lot of works this year last year. This year alone, there are five movies: "Old Boy", "Huang Feihong", "Sword Rain", "Left Ear", and "Sunshine Sisters Tao", plus "Sunshine Sisters"!
The release time must be adjusted properly, and you can't beat your own people.
...
In mid-March, the craze for "Avatar" finally subsided. Unfortunately, the movies that were still released in theaters were worse than the other!
Maybe I felt that "Avatar" was finally gone, and it was our turn to show our power, so a bunch of bad movies rushed into the theaters.
"The Little Emperor of Basketball", "The Name of Water", "The Confused Trap", you can see that this thing must be filmed for the purpose of being released, which is a good thing.
Not to mention that this type of movie cannot be compared with "Avatar", it even does not reach the average level of domestic movies!
Originally, I was trying to get a lot of money into theaters, but no one paid attention to these movies, let alone grabbing money.
It's quite embarrassing. Generally speaking, at least one movie in the same period is worthy of criticism from the audience. Unfortunately, the first half of March in 2010 was so weird.
The audience seems to have completely forgotten that there is still the case of Chinese movies!
Although "Avatar" has been released, the impact it has continued to be over Chinese movies...
On March 19, the company seized the opportunity and "Old Boy" was released!
Not only Huiwen has vision in the world, but Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jing also entered the March stage with their new works.
Three movies: "The Box of Yue Guang", "The Future Police" and "Old Boy", pk at the same time!
As usual, Xu Hui promoted various promotions on Weibo, and he specially reprinted the title song of the same name of "Old Boy". He left a passage with a special show: "Dream is like a classic. It will never fade because of time, but it will be more precious!"
By the way, Weibo has become the main base for celebrities to show off their daily life and carry out publicity.
Paohui's Weibo followers are 8 million, ranking among the top three of all celebrities. After all, this idea is that smartphones have not yet been fully popular, and Xu Hui's fans do not play with Weibo too many.
It's enough. This literary and artistic word alone is attractive enough. "Old Boy" is also a good song. In addition, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng's pair are not very popular.
On the day of its premiere, "Old Boy" achieved a box office of 9.8 million, losing to "The Legend of Yue Guang Box", and "Future Police" ranked third, with a box office of only 8 million.
On March 20 and two days on the 21st, "Old Boy" won 1,200 yuan, with a box office of 14 million yuan, and directly counterattacked to the top!
The first weekend was 35 million, not too much, but compared to the investment of less than 15 million, "Old Boy" has recovered its costs!
The surprise is still behind. On March 22, Monday, and weekdays, the box office of "Old Boy" is still 13 million!
Anyone who has studied box office performance knows that generally speaking, the box office on weekends must be several levels higher than the box office on weekdays, unless it is a movie with a very good reputation!
It was probably because of the domestic movies that have been suffocated during this period. A movie with a plot that was relatively complete and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies was once again inspired.
The next week, the box office of "Old Boy" reached 120 million in a single week, with a cumulative box office of 150 million!
Obviously, this is another box office movie!
After some people have studied it, it turned out that the screenwriter of "Old Boy" was actually Xu Hui, and the songwriter of that song all wrote Xu Hui's name...
In the third week of release, the publisher released the Easter egg part, which is the clip of Xu Hui singing "Old Boy"...
Don’t underestimate such a small easter egg that is less than ten minutes. The box office of "Old Boy" exploded again in a single week, winning a box office of nearly 110 million yuan, with a cumulative box office of 260 million yuan.
It is obvious that this is a work that is about to exceed 300 million yuan in box office.
Huiwen made a lot of money in the world!
Yang Qing, a new generation director born in the 1980s, stepped on Liu Zhenwei, and Wang Jing quickly became a new generation director...
...
"Tsk tsk..."
"Don't look at me with that look, just say something!"
Xu Hui glared at Huang Wen, who was spreading a newspaper, and the front page headline said, "The box office of "Old Boy" is about to exceed 300 million, and the main creators thanked Xu Hui."
"I really didn't expect that the Yang Qing you found was quite capable!"
Perhaps because he felt that the soft writers he was looking for were too poor, Huang Wen closed the newspaper and talked to Xu Hui about Yang Qing.
"Absolutely, if he had no ability, I wouldn't have found him."
"Two days ago, he proposed a project called "Hotpot Hero" to the company. Do you know this project?"
"I know, Chen Kun is still the one who has been convinced by him!"
"Okay, then I agree to the project to be established immediately."
Huang Wen nodded and signaled that he knew.
"By the way, have you submitted "Huang Feihong" to the Cannes organizer?"
"…It has been submitted, but don't have too much hope. Cannes is still inclined toward literary and artistic films now."
"I know, but I still feel that I should be screened at the opening ceremony!"
“Opening ceremony?”
Huang Wen thought about it, called the public relations department, explained Xu Hui's request just now, and five minutes later, he hung up the phone: "There is no chance..."
“How to say it?”
"This year's Cannes opening film is "Robin Hood" by Ridley Scott!"
"…All right!"
Ridley Scott, one of the four major directors in the 1980s, lost nearly 100 million US dollars in "Dynasties" and his reputation and status were there. It was already a thing to be proud of when Cannes invited him to participate.
"Robin Hood" is suitable for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.
Chapter completed!
