Chapter 55 Kneeling Incident

Hollywood's layout is very forward-looking.

The Marvel Universe plan has been planned since O6 and has been persisting. At that time, the mainland box office of "Captain America 1" was only more than 60 million, and it almost failed to squeeze into the top 30 domestic box office annually!

Then, after various baptisms of "Iron Man", "Thor" and "Avengers", the world is full of Marvel fans, and the same is true for domestic!

"Captain America 3" will be released on May 6th.

As expected, the box office was 250 million yuan that day, and the cumulative box office was 642 million yuan in three days!

It created Disney's best results in China.

Domestic movies are beaten so hard that they can’t find any more. Even the well-known "Hotpot Hero" has been squeezed out without the number of screenings. Without screenings, there will be no box office. Since May 6, the box office of "Hotpot Hero" has dropped to about 10 million in a single day.

This is the best-performing domestic film, with the blessing of the Oscar-winning actress.

As for "Northwest 2" and so on, the number of faces that have been squeezed has dropped to less than 5%, not far from the downtime.

...

"July and Ansheng" is the first youth film in Zhao Liying's independent production studio, and its relationship with Chen Lin is almost zero. The screenwriter is Annie Baby and director Chen Yang almost forgot that Chen Lin was the first to supervise the producer, and he also chose the actor.

But to be honest, this is a work that has a very long relationship with Chen Yang. Although Chen Lin was also a famous producer, he will definitely serve as the screenwriter.

If a company wants to exhibit, it must be separated from the influence of a certain individual, especially a film and television company. If Zhao Liying Studio wants to go further, it must be stripped of the influence of Shen Lin.

"July and Ansheng" is an attempt!

From Fang Jianhao to Chen Lin, everyone attaches great importance to it.

Therefore, the choice of schedule is particularly important.

"Or why we set a summer schedule, there are no good movies in the summer schedule anyway."

Fang Jianhao reads the latest movie schedule.

"…Is the National Day holiday not possible? I want this movie to play against Guo Xiaosi in a positive way."

Chen Lin also has a exactly the same movie schedule. Although this thing is not accurate, the movie is updated and the transfer of the file will be a thing of the time, it still has certain reference value!

“…The Love Saint has been scheduled for National Day!”

Fang Jianhao glanced at Lin, his eyes full of contempt.

"I...I forgot..."

Chen Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then let's schedule it for July. You can study the specific date."

"OK."

Fang Jianhao closed the schedule and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Linzi, you have to go next month's Xining Film Festival."

"It's a must. It's the first time I've been a judge..."

In fact, the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse have invited Chen Lin to serve as judges. Even the Toronto Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival have also been invited, but Chen Lin refused.

The reason is very simple, I don’t have time!

Xining Film Festival has been looking for Chen Lin since the previous year. Young Master Lin really has no time, but in fact he has no time this year. June happens to be the filming of "La La Land".

It takes at least half a month to participate in a film festival and be a judge.

From watching movies to primary elections, to deciding grades, we argued with a bunch of old guys in various ways!

However, he had already agreed. Besides, he should still take a look at the special film fund of 20 million yuan a year.

As for "La La Land", it should be no big problem if Mianda stares at it.

This is also a very important reason why he promised to co-direct "La La Land" with Mianda.

"It's better to dig a few more directors. Our company is not short of actors or scripts now, but it's just a good director!"

Fang Jianhao looked at Chen Lin seriously.

“…All mainland film and television companies lack good directors, okay!”

Chen Lin rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the scarcity of good directors, how could it be when it was obvious laymen like Guo Xiaosi and He Jiong came forward!

"I really hope our company can keep standing and making money. Fang Li's incident yesterday made me feel very uncomfortable!"

"…What's up?"

Looking at Fang Jianhao with all kinds of feelings, Chen Lin didn't know what he was talking about at all.

"Don't you know yet? Fang Li, the general manager of Laure Film and Television, knelt down last night during the live broadcast and begged the theater to arrange the film for "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix". The old man is old and still has to do such a thing. It's really sad to think about it!"

Fang Li, "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix", knelt down, Chen Lin finally remembered this incident!

...

Perhaps it was because I had been reborn for too long, and I had almost forgotten many things in Chen Lin.

Fang Li knelt down for the filming incident of "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" and shocked the entire Chinese film industry!

This is the thing.

"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is the work of the fourth-generation director Master Wu Tianming. After filming this work, the master passed away, and "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" became his last work.

Unfortunately, the master's last work is just a very pure and niche art film about suona culture. A smart film and television company probably chose to refuse.

It’s very simple. It takes at least hundreds of thousands of yuan to carry out a movie. This movie is a money-lossing item at first glance. Do you think there will be a company that is willing to do a movie with the purpose of losing money?

Wu Tianming's family found Fang Li and wanted him to help with this movie.

Who is Fang Li?

The Godfather of Chinese underground movies!

This guy especially loves domestic art films and invests in "Anyang Baby", "Day and Night", "Benefits" and the "Summer Palace"!

He learned to pay for one movie and knew to find a celebrity, so he started from "Apple" and invested in "Guanyin Mountain" and "Second Exposure" continuously...

Forget it, you can go to his resume by yourself!

In short, Fang Li is a person who loves art films. Apart from the official, Fang Li is the most suitable candidate!

When the "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" was screened internally, the peers gave high praise. On the day of the release, half of the entertainment industry came to celebrate.

Who is Wu Tianming?

He is the fourth generation master of Chinese films, as famous as Xie Jin. The difference is that Mr. Wu Tianming has been rooted in Xi'an Film Studio all his life.

He has explored and trained the fifth generation of film masters, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin, Zhou Xiaowen, Gu Changwei, etc.

With Fang Li's connections, "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" is Wu Tianming's last work, so you can imagine how many people will support Ying that day.

Even Ang Lee came to video and email on the spot to tell the story of him and Wu Tianming.

Unfortunately, it’s useless. The theaters shouldn’t look at such movies or not. In addition, “Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix” is released on the same day as “Captain America 3”!

Haha, you can imagine how miserable the box office will be.

This is true. After a week of release, although "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" has a good reputation and several major professional film review websites have given 8 points, the theaters' screening volume has always remained around one percent, and the cumulative box office is less than three million!

One week after its release, the film schedule has been as low as 0.6%, and most of the scenes are scheduled to be released after the morning or 10 pm, facing the crisis of upcoming release.

On May 13, Fang Li knelt down in a live broadcast and begged the theater to arrange more films for "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" and provide more support for Chinese art films.
Chapter completed!
