Chapter VIII Return with Honor

Is the Mermaid of Quality Good?

Using the most objective pricing standards, the movies that can only be considered qualified at most are more than one-six-six-six-part Zhou Xingchi, which is more than a little different from "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu" and even "Journey to the West", and can only be similar to "Yangtze River VII" or Stephen Chow's early "Senior Brother Crazying the Ghost".

Then why can it achieve such a strong box office result?

3.39 billion!

First, Zhou Xingchi is good at selecting actors, and Deng Chao's popularity and appeal are definitely not low. Moreover, Deng Chao has laid a unique Deng-style comedy performance style in the hearts of the people through the blessing of two movies and one variety show (although many people do not recognize it). If Deng Chao's role was replaced by Huang Xiaoming, you would have an indescribable awkwardness; if Deng Chao chose him, he would subconsciously tell the audience that "The Mermaid" is a comedy.

As for the casting of "The Demons Chapter", it is obvious that the main character is interfering with each other. Alibaba is very optimistic about Wu Yifan...

Secondly, the topic of "We owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket" has really become popular across the Internet. By the way, this marketing method was not thought of by several production companies at the beginning. At that time, the promotion of "Mermaid" was still concentrated on the two protagonists, "Star Girl" and Deng Chao. Without any warning, the biggest messenger in the hk entertainment industry, Xiang Tai, jumped out again to list Zhou Xingchi's five sects. In her words, Zhou Xingchi is a typical bad guy who is ungrateful, unkind and unrighteous, forgets his ancestors, betrays the country and the people.

ho                                                               

We only care about his movies. As for his character, what is his own way of doing, do we care about our bird affairs?

Moreover, to put it bluntly, Xiang Tai said so much, but in fact he was just a saying, "I remember when we watched the flowers and the moon together, we called him Xiao Tiantian. Now the new one is better than the old one, and I call him Mrs. Niu!"

Zhou Xingchi makes a new movie without taking her to play!

Of course, netizens chose Zhou Xingchi, whom they have always liked.

Then, the three HK actors, Zhang Jiahui, Ren Dahua and Liu Qingyun, suddenly bombarded Zhou Xingchi and supported Xiang Tai, saying that they were not familiar with Zhou Xingchi.

It instantly triggered the sympathy of mainland netizens. Various Zhou Xingchi's fans came out and accused the actors.

I don’t know what I thought, but a group of people automatically started talking about the topic of “We owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket”.

When several producers saw that this was the best marketing method.

So, a bunch of soft articles appeared in major forums and posters, and "analyzing" Zhou Xingchi from multiple angles. With the guidance of professional navy, the topic of "we owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket" has truly been discussed by the whole nation.

The most widely circulated photo is undoubtedly a comparison photo spanning thirty years. Both photos are Zhou Xingchi pursed his lips shyly, and his movements are consistent. However, Zhou Xingxing turned into the Stephen Chow who is now all white, and with the sentence "I am old, do you still love me?"

Damn, don't be too sensational!

The most important point is that although the 2016 Spring Festival has released three blockbusters, "Macau Storm 3" is extremely bad. "Journey to the West: Three Fighting the Bone Demon" has caused only "Mermaid" to watch due to the bad reputation of the previous work "The Great Fighting of the Heavenly Palace".

And to be honest, although "The Mermaid" is not an excellent one, it can barely catch its eye.

With the right time, place and people, the three gathered together, and the box office miracle of "The Mermaid" was born!

...

On January 12, at 3:00 p.m., Shen Lin, the plane Zhao Liying was riding landed at Du International Airport.

Chen Lin knew that he would definitely not be able to escape this time, so he simply hired eight bodyguards who accompanied him.

Sure enough, after walking out of the VIp channel, a bunch of reporters surrounded the exit.

"Director Chen won the Golden Globe Award. Do you have anything to say to everyone?"

"Director Chen, are the actors sure of the three movies you mentioned?"

"Zhao Liying, will the winner of the Golden Ball Film Festival change the idea of ​​temporarily withdrawing from the entertainment industry?"

After seeing Chen Lin and Zhao Liying, a bunch of reporters flocked to him.

Then, eight bodyguards came in handy, using their powerful bodies to block the reporters who were trying to get closer.

Unfortunately, it is useless and still cannot stop the reporters' strong desire for knowledge.

"Don't worry, I'll hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon, and you can ask questions at any time."

Seeing that several bodyguards were really ready to take action, Chen Lin hurriedly said loudly.

"Director Shen, you can just answer a few simple questions..."

Several reporters closest to Chen Lin hurriedly handed over the microphone.

"I can't answer every one of you as a media person, so let's have a good chat with you tomorrow's reporters!"

While saying that, he grabbed Ying Bao's right hand and finally squeezed out of the crowd after going through a lot of hardships.

He took the business car prepared by the company, took off his mask and drank a sip of water.

"To be honest, have you ever thought about taking back what you said in Shancheng before?"

Chen Lin is actually quite curious.

Liying also took off her sunglasses and mask, then looked at her and said, "...Let's talk about it when the child is older!"

“…Are you pregnant?”

Chen Lin asked with some surprise.

"Not...but sooner or later!"

...

As soon as I got home, the phone rang.

It was called by Wang Changtian, and you don’t need to guess that his purpose of calling must be for the guaranteed "Mermaid".

Sure enough, after the greetings, Da Lao Wang got to the point.

"Linzi, to be honest, in your opinion, how big is the box office potential of "Mermaid"?"

"Mr. Wang, I can only say that 200 million is definitely more than 20 million."

Chen Lin was careful, of course it was impossible to tell the news that the box office of "Mermaid" exceeded 300 million.

He is not stupid, so he can just reveal his trump card?

Light has a close relationship with Alibaba and Wanda. What if the old man kicked Chen Lin away or invited the two families to enter with Chen Lin on his back, then why did Chen Lin be busy for a long time?

The reason why I wanted to perform "The Mermaid" was very simple, and making money also proves the studio's ability to perform.

"Then... what price does Mr. Zhou think he would agree to a guaranteed contract?"

Wang Changtian is a well-known respectful director in the circle. Even if the largest investment house in "The Mermaid" is not Zhou Xingchi, he will consider Zhou Xingchi's opinions.

"...Let's do this, we guarantee 1.8 billion yuan, first pay him his dividends, and wait until the box office is sold well, and then pay a red envelope."

As for other investors, they will definitely advance payment based on the box office share ratio of 1.8 billion.

"I'm a little worried, will he ask me to sign any profit floating treaty? He had a quarrel with Huayi because..."

The big old man said it very tactfully, but he was actually a little worried that Zhou Xingchi was talking big. After all, Stephen Chow loved money and everyone knew that because of money, he had a quarrel with many people!

The eldest son Wang wanted to continue to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi, but he did not want to lose too much of his own interests.

"…Mr. Wang, do you think that once "The Mermaid" is a hit at the box office, will Zhou Xingchi still work with us?"
