Chapter 460 The Worst National Day File in History
Tianbao may have felt Liu Yifei's attitude towards him backstage: polite but not intimate, and the sense of distance is very obvious.

But she still yelled "Sissy" and "Yifei" one by one.

After the premiere, she posted a photo with Liu Yifei on Weibo, but Liu Yifei didn't even like it, let alone forward it.

Yang Tianbao comforted himself: "We all know that Liu Yifei doesn't play Weibo very much, maybe she forgot to log in."

The reason why there are so many films on the National Day file this year, even if it has something to do with the growing market and more and more films, is that this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day holidays collide.

I was transferred for an 8-day long vacation, but in fact, there were two days before the festival and the end of the festival. One plus and one minus, it means that there is no Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

But Cheng Yu'an is not very optimistic about the results of this year's National Day file.

One is that films such as "Tongque Terrace" and "Tai Chi 1" are not considered high-quality works, and it is difficult to attract audiences into the theater. Another reason is that starting from the National Day this year, during the holiday period, free-speed traffic will be free.

This policy is bound to activate the tourism market.

Everyone went out to play, and naturally there were fewer people watching movies.

Looking at it this way, "BJ Meets Seattle", which was released as early as the 21st, actually took advantage of it. There are still 9 days before the holiday, and it can harvest part of the box office.

Cheng Yu'an can't pay attention to the performance of the market for the time being. He has read the list of this year's National Day file in advance. To put it bluntly, it is really rotten fish and rotten shrimp. , This film is considered a smash if it doesn't have 5 million yuan.

He is supervising work in the studio of Qingying Studio, and he has to come and see the set.

The current director of Qingying Film Studio is Professor Yu Jianhong, and Cheng Yuan also attended his "Film Economics" during his school days.

Yu Jianhong accompanied Cheng Yuan to the studio. He looked at the set map and said, "The layout of this house is very strange. It doesn't look like our domestic style at all, but it doesn't look like a Western-style apartment either."

Cheng Yu'an explained: "The layout of this apartment is really different. The porch is long, there are many rooms, there are many corners, and the decorations are also miscellaneous..."

Before Cheng Yu'an could finish speaking, Yu Jianhong realized: "It is to express the split and complicated heart of the father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease."

"Yeah." Cheng Yu'an nodded, "The old man was already sick at the beginning of the story. He locked himself in his house and refused to take care of the nurses. This layout of the house just corresponds to his heart."

The two walked, watched and chatted in the studio, and Yu Jianhong joked: "You and I, Mr. Hou, will bring a Ph.D. this year. Are you interested in getting back?"

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Forget it, I have graduated for 10 years, and I feel awkward when I come back to study for a doctorate."

"I know you're like this, kid," Yu Jianhong just asked, "If you weren't protected by Laohou when you were in school, you'll have to make a serious mistake if you don't get expelled."

Cheng Yu'an has at least 20 days of happy time - Liu Yifei is not at home for publicity.

Liu Yifei's last film was "Those Years" last summer. She hadn't released a work for a year, and she usually doesn't participate in variety shows to show her face, but she has been exposed through various endorsements and activities.

And this year, the most dazzling actress of the younger generation is undoubtedly Yang Mi——10 billion box office heroine.

Although "Great Wudang" failed, anyone with eyes in that movie knows that Yang Mi cannot be blamed.

And this year's National Day file, Yang Mi's "Tongque Terrace" will face Liu Yifei's "BJ Meets Seattle".

The managers of various theaters are more optimistic about "Tongque Terrace". Yang Mi + Fa Ge is obviously better than Liu Yifei pairing with a not-so-famous Yu Hewei.

Moreover, historical blockbusters like "Bronze Sparrow Terrace" are obviously better than comedies like "BJ Meets Seattle".

At the press conference, director Zhao Linshan shouted the slogan "over 5 million".

Let's say it calmly, the lineup of "Tongque Terrace" does support him calling for 5 million.

Let’s not talk about the starring lineup, let’s see who are behind the scenes:

The producer is Zhang Yimou's royal photographer Zhao Xiaoding, the sound engineer is Zhang Yimou's old friend, Tao Jing known as "China's No. Hinata Taneda, the chief Japanese art master of "God", and even Yoshihito Akatsuka, one of the world's top 20 set designers.

This lineup, not to mention others, made Cheng Yu'an salivate at the sight, even if he wanted to get this group of people on the same crew, he would have to work very hard.

Therefore, it can be seen how much Guangxian and Changying Factory attach importance to "Tongque Terrace", which is also the source of Yang Mi's confidence.

With the escort of this group of masters, there is no way this film can lose.

However, when the crew of "Tongque Terrace" saw the performance of "BJ Meets Seattle", their hearts were extremely unstable:

On the first day of Friday, 3300 million, the results are average, which is a normal performance of Liu Yifei's appeal.

It was an exaggeration on Saturday, 6400 million!It fell back to 5700 million on Sunday, and 1.5 million in the first three days of the weekend, setting a record for the fastest domestic comedy to break [-] million.

On the 25th, the eve of the release of "Tongque Terrace", "Northwest" was released for 5 days, breaking the box office of 2 million.

Some film industry analysts said: "In previous years, the National Day file was generally dominated by two domestic blockbusters, such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and "The Wind" in 09, "Di Renjie" and "Sword Rain" in 10, and last year's "Painted Skin 2" and "The Wind". "Legend of the White Snake". From September 9th to 26th this year, 29 blockbusters will be released, but none will be shown on the 4st to 1th. The competition is too fierce and deformed. Now "BJ Meets Seattle" has taken shape. This year may be the 'worst National Day in history'."

"This actually reflects the unreasonable scheduling of our film market. Last year's National Day file benefited from the promotion of "Painted Skin 2", and the market was 7 million. Maybe each company looked at last year's data and felt that this year's market could also reach 7 million. , but this year the market has returned to rationality. According to scientific predictions, this year's National Day market should be 4-5 million yuan. Judging from this year's film list, there is no such film as "Painted Skin 2" that can boost the overall market.

"Our five or six films will be released at the end of the month, just to fight for the 4 million yuan?"

"This is a very irrational film arrangement. I hope that in the future, our relevant departments can cooperate with the main producers to coordinate the schedule. The internal conflicts in domestic films are so serious that we will only be injured."

The pressure on "Tongque Terrace" and "Tai Chi 1" increased sharply.

Fa Ge even said: "I'm under a lot of pressure, I haven't slept well for several weeks... I have been doing exercises in Hong Kong, pushing every day, pushing "Tongque Terrace" to its peak, and doing a lot of things in my heart, Didn't tell you."

He even acted coquettishly to the fans: "Have you bought the ticket for the zero point show? No? You don't care about me, you don't love me."

According to Fa Ge's habit, he has never participated in the post-production promotion of movies, but in the past two years, the number of scripts looking for him has gradually decreased, and there are no outstanding results at the box office-"Let the Bullets Fly" achieved Jiang Wen, and the results were evenly divided among the three. on the head.

Cao Cao in "Tongque Terrace" is a good character, and he attaches great importance to it.

I hope that the young people now can see that Fa Ge is not old.
