The small-scale preview method of "Painted Skin" was performed. Dingfeng Entertainment was very "cautious" and selected 68 theaters, winning 1.68 million US dollars in the first weekend, with a maximum of US$30,000 per museum...

Influenced by high reputation, the screening scale of "Painted Skin" was expanded to 500 in the second week - trying to select theaters close to the Chinese area. Then, "Painted Skin" lived up to expectations and once again won $4.86 million, ranking among the top ten box office lists in Danzhou North America...;

By the third week, the screening scale of "Painted Skin" expanded to 2,000 again, winning a box office of US$10.21 million in a single week...

The peak was ready to go on a long-term screening from the beginning...

For long-term screenings, the peak share may be only 45%, but the cumulative box office can exceed at least 60 million US dollars, which is enough to make up for the promotional expenses.

TV copyright, online copyright and peripherals are net profits!

Zhang Junsheng also paid attention to the North American results of "Kung Fu King". He lost interest after not reaching 8 million US dollars on the first weekend.

A movie that invested and promoted more than 10 million US dollars, with a box office of less than 20 million in the first weekend, which can basically be concluded that it has failed!

...

Beijing, Dongyang Media, Office.

The Huang brothers and a group of executives were there. The two brothers looked calm and had a piece of information in front of them, which was a detailed statistics on the box office during the National Day holiday.

At the top is a line of bold typing, which says: "The Painted Skin Amazing the National Day holiday, released for ten days, with a box office of 184 million!"

After being silent for several minutes, Huang Zhonglei spoke: "They must have used the means!"

"…I heard that they controlled a lot of golden yard screenings by locking the yard by ticketing agencies!"

"They also signed a rebate contract with theaters in private, and this contract will be executed on October 2, which is clearly aimed at "Kung Fu King"!"

"I originally wanted to steal the box office and greet several theater chains I knew before. They agreed and turned around and sold us!"

The senior executives are talking about it, summarizing the experience and lessons...

Strangely, no one said that the quality of the movie itself is not good!

Yes, in their opinion, what is the quality of the movie? It is the truth that it can be sold for money!

"Or we report it?"

Huang Zhongjun shook his head directly: "Who to whom? Will the Film Bureau take charge? Film in "Painted Skin" also has investments!"

"…Then let him commit the crime?"

"What is this a crime? People spend money to win the box office themselves, but they lose it themselves. Does the Movie Law stipulate that the box office is not allowed to be won?"

"What do you think they are trying to do?"

“…I don’t know…”

Huang Zhonglei: "In this way, let's get out of the matter and find a few netizens to stab you, so we won't show up!"

Lao Fei nodded: "Okay, the film industry is too chaotic, and we need to make trouble!"

"Mr. Huang, the box office in North America is out..."

Just as he was talking, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in.

"…How many?"

“7.81 million US dollars!”

"one day?"

“…It’s the first weekend result…”

Huang Zhonglei doesn't want to speak anymore...

Tired!

A large production worth $70 million is not accepted by us in China, nor is it the Americans!

Why?

"…Zhonglei, let's make an appointment with the Beijing News tomorrow, and I will tell you everything!"

"No, if you do this, the theaters will hate us!"

After thinking about it, Huang Zhonglei said, "I'll talk, I'll guide all the topic to Yuehua!"

...

On October 3, "Pulp Novel", which had been prepared for nearly a month, finally started filming in a studio in Quebec.

There was no press conference, no flash of lights, and no complicated rituals, and the crew quietly started shooting.

“Cut!”

Just over ten seconds after the test shot started, Zhang Junsheng called to stop. He stood up from behind the director's camera: "Kristen, I need you to be lazy, more casual, and have a richer expression on your face!"

Three days before the start of the filming, the main filming of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Only the two of them have the right schedule!

The braised eggs and Jason Statham and Joel Kinnerman are on vacation for the time being…

Very suitable, two newcomers are the most suitable for the crew!

Christine's acting skills are hard to describe...

Before it was time to test her explosive power, Zhang Junsheng was dissatisfied with the simplest scene of the conversation. This was not a robber, but clearly a daughter who ran away from home!

As for Robert Pattinson, there is no problem with his accent, but his acting skills...

If you choose an actor, you must support him even if you kneel!

The cleverness of vulgar novels is that "vulgar" is just the appearance. The negative textbooks such as "Tiny Times" are flashy on the outside, but they are still vulgar and commonplace in the inside.

What is the inner realm of "Pulp Novel"? In fact, it is just some trivial matters that are ups and downs between social mezzanines!

For example, if the underworld shoots the younger brother, the boss kills the rebels, and the robbers kill people and run away from money, even if you haven't seen these things, you still believe that they have happened as facts.

The most powerful thing is to reverse, understate it, without any effort, but it can be a big deal.

Just like the last gun that the robber put down, Mafia boss Masha's forgiveness for the rebel...

Simply put, movies like "Tiny Times" are using larger, colorful bubbles to cover up ordinary facts.

Therefore, actors must be lifelike!

However, after "Twilight", Christine was a little confused about acting, and she only had one expression on her lines...

As a last resort, Zhang Junsheng was preparing to play with the big panoramic view - no close-ups were given!

Let the two sit face to face and say lines. Whoever speaks will shoot another person...

When the climax point was about to reach the climax, the two of them decided to rob the convenience store, give a close-up...

Of course, there will still be a shot against them during the shooting.

There is no need to tell the actors about the post-production editing!

Point the lens to the shooting scene:

Kristen looked up around kankan, customers were either eating or indulging in conversation; tired waiters obeyed; handyman packed dishes perfunctorily; managers were complaining to the chef.

A smile appeared on her face.

"It's amazing! I'm ready, let's act! Here! Start now!"

Robert: "Remember, as before, you control the crowd, I control the employees."

"clear!"

They each took out a pistol of 32 caliber and put it on the table.

They stared at each other...

"I love you, Pumpkin."

"I love you, little rabbit."

After saying the lines, the two grabbed their guns and stood up!

Robert yelled at everyone: "Everyone calm down, this is a robbery!"

"No one is allowed to act rashly, otherwise they will be killed! Do you understand?"

"Click!"

Zhang Junsheng shouted to stop, and the two actors looked at him. Zhang Junsheng smiled: "He performed well, but I asked you to perform better. You have five minutes to adjust."

The filming has just begun, and the crew needs a process of running-in, especially the actors need to find their state. Rehearsing privately and standing in front of the camera are completely different things.

Besides, if you finish it in one day, why do you have to take five days?

"Director, phone..."

Zhang Junsheng took off his headphones and was about to drink some water. Dingfeng rated him as the director assistant whom he was holding his cell phone and walked over.
Chapter completed!
