"What I hated most when I was studying was three things: Zhou Guoping talked about philosophy, Lin Qingxuan talked about Zen Buddhism, and Guo Moruo wrote about Qu Yuan."

After thinking about it, I added: "There is also Xu Zhimo who tells the true feelings!"

"Now I'm afraid I have to add Zhu Dake to talk about movies!"

The audience laughed in a lot, and even a few teachers sitting there would smile. They would talk to scholars about this kind of jokes. They understood - Zhou Guoping, who was kind and honest, and who smiled at Lin Qingxuan, and Guo Moruo with iron bones.

"So you think that as long as a movie is a good movie?"

"Of course not! The evaluation criteria for good movies are too broad!"

Zhang Junsheng organized the language: "After the movie is released, how to evaluate it is the audience's business. There is a type of people who enter the cinema and feel comfortable after watching it. This is a good movie. There is a type of people who laughed loudly when they watched the movie, and they were happy like something. After the matter came out, they immediately changed their faces, and there was no practical meaning; they couldn't remember it after laughing; movies that only those who are crazy can watch' were thrown out."

"We won't talk about the previous category, but let's talk about the latter category separately. They have a characteristic. All movies must be treated with the standards of "Shawshank" and "Pianoist". If you don't meet the standards at all, you won't scold you to death; if you are a little low, you won't scold you to death; if you move them, you won't scold you to death."

"But they are also the parents of filmmakers. No matter how poor they are, they have bought tickets. In terms of status, they are born one level higher than the audience who are not buying tickets!"

"As far as China is concerned, filmmakers and ticket buyers are actually on the same front, and it's not a big deal to scold their own family!"

"Back to the topic, what is a good movie? It wants you to laugh, you laugh, and you laugh a lot. It wants you to cry, you cry, and you cry very fiercely. The story also leaves friendship for the director and the characters. This should be the best movie suitable for the current film market!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng asked back: "Have anyone ever watched "The Teeth of Love" released some time ago?"

Only a small number of people in the audience raised their hands...

Yes, Yan Bingyan’s appeal has not yet been reflected, "The Teeth of Love" is too literary...

"That movie was well made, the plot was smooth, and the actors performed well. Our company made the release!"

"In fact, after seeing the film, the company's distribution department was in a difficult position because the film had no selling points and the director was also a completely unknown newcomer. If we hadn't found a breakthrough, we probably wouldn't have sold the movie at all!"

A student immediately asked: "What breakthrough?"

"I can't say this, it involves trade secrets!"

Xu Wenjing pulled the host over and reminded him in a low voice. The host nodded and said, "Okay, the time is over. Director Zhang and his team will have to go to Shancheng later. Come on, let's do the last question."

A woman stood up: "Director, how much do you think the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be?"

"I think?"

"The total box office of general commercial movies should be about three times the box office of the first week. "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a good reputation, and there are no competitors during the same period, so that's 3.5 times, 280 million!"

"Why is it 280 million?"

"Because the gun shot out the first bird!"

At present, the first domestic movie in the box office is "Looking at the Big Round together", Lao Mouzi's work...

...

It’s like this. The road show of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was divided into two parts. As the director, Zhang Junsheng’s task was to go to the campus and talk about the concept of film creation;

Zhou Xing and Xu Yan are responsible for the promotion of major theaters. They are the leading actors, which are more suitable for facing the audience...

As the first film produced and released by Yuehua, it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it!

The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" did not disappoint them!

It scored 130 million in seven days of National Day, temporarily ranking first in the annual box office rankings...

Su*zhou, media meeting, asked a question about the profit status of "A Chinese Ghost Story":

"A 200 million investment, from the book, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has not recovered its investment yet, right?"

"Don't mention this, I'm angry when I mention this!"

Zhang Junsheng's face was engraved with "depression"...

"You may not know that the investor of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is Global. We are responsible for the production. The contract signed at that time belongs to us in China's box office, and overseas returns belong to Global!"

"When I was in the contract of money, I thought that the overseas box office might be bad - after all, there should be stories about gods and ghosts, except for us Chinese, no one should like them."

"Yesterday, the company received news that the overseas box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" has reached 80 million US dollars, and the box office in North America has been 39.59 million. According to their estimates, the North American box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is likely to exceed 100 million US dollars!"

"Once North American box office exceeds 100 million, DVD rental and sales, the TV copyright income can be added to 100 million..."

"Global made a lot of money this time, and we lost money!"

"They kept urging us to shoot the next two films, and they even offered $50 million in production fees!"

"This time, we won't do it. Not to mention 50 million US dollars, we won't agree even 100 million US dollars. We must renegotiate, and we also want overseas share!"

"This story teaches us to be careful when working with foreigners in the future!"

The reporters in the audience stopped talking...

I originally thought that Yuehua was just making a profit from losses, but now I know that what they are doing is a business without money!

Pretending to be like the wind, always accompanying me!

...

"A Chinese Ghost Story" really sold well in the box office in North America.

On the first day, 2,800 theaters opened paintings, winning a first-day box office of US$7.83 million, directly occupying the first box office...

There is a clear distinction between off-season and peak season in the North American film market. October and November are the obvious off-seasons. It is already a very good result to win 7.83 million on the first day of off-season release...

After all, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has no mass base in North America, and it relies solely on global publicity and marketing and Zhang Junsheng's reputation!

It was released on September 30th, and October 1st happened to be Friday. It won 24.5 million yuan in the first weekend and successfully won the weekly championship. There were no strong opponents in the market. "Jigsaw 4" will not be released until the 26th.

The second place is the "Game Plan"...

Disney's traditional family comedy, family fun series, but unfortunately, it didn't work much...

As for "Resident Evil 3: Extinction" ranked third, 18 million...

The "Resident Evil" series is not very popular in North America. Let's put it this way, the "Resident Evil" series has a maximum investment of only US$50 million per piece, which is not considered a big production!

However, North America's reputation cannot control the world!

I remember that a group of people in later generations always talk about the reputation of North America. Every time a movie with a very bad reputation in North America is sold in China, they will say that we Chinese are only worthy of watching bad movies!

Then what? When Li An's "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" failed at the box office, why did North America not deserve Li An...

Damn, what does North American audience have to do with you? What do they like to watch? It has to do with you?
