tearjerker director

Chapter 27 Harvest Time
With the expansion of word-of-mouth, the expansion of screenings, and the good quality of the film itself, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" has begun to show itself as a real dark horse.

The next week after the screening began, even though it was a working day, the daily box office on the first working day did not drop compared to the previous weekend due to the expansion of the number of screenings. Received 1208 million.

And with more and more investment in film promotion, as the number of viewers increased, word-of-mouth spread again sharply. In the next few days, the daily box office never fell below [-] million.

And it is rising steadily.

By the end of the second week, the box office finally had a blowout.

2300 million, 2650 million, 2880 million!
This is the data handed over after the extended screening of "The Gift of Room Seven" the following weekend.

In fact, before the end of the next weekend, the movie had already announced that it had exceeded [-] million yuan, although compared to other blockbusters in the same period, it seems that breaking [-] million yuan is nothing.

But the potential of "The Gift of Room Seven" has not yet been fully exploited.

Following the amazing performance in the next week, Mu Nanxing talked about a few more theaters. Starting next week, the screening scale of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" will continue to expand.

And all kinds of related news about "The Gift of Room No. [-]" began to become more and more.

On the one hand, it is because the movie is so popular, and the popularity and attention have increased. On the other hand, it is also because this movie does have many stories behind the scenes.

Among them, Li Yi, the film director, has the most reports.

The main reason is that Li Yi's experience is indeed very dramatic.

It can be said that Li Yi's tainted work "Life of Bitterness" earlier became the highlight of Li Yi's experience because of the success of "The Gift of Room No. [-]".

Li Yi's decadent image of getting drunk every night in nightclubs on Hong Kong Island is in stark contrast to the current Li Yixing.

Jingnan Entertainment even directly made a special report on Li Yi, and the ratings were surprisingly good.

Li Yi's family was sitting in his mother's house in the capital, watching this special report on Jingnan TV.

Li Yi - a rising young director star!

This is the title given to this topic by Jingnan Television.

Recently, a low-budget movie "The Gift of Room No. [-]" has been in the highly competitive summer season. Among countless blockbusters, it has been a dark horse and has made great strides forward. It has won more than [-] million box office in less than a month after its release.

What many people don't know is that the director of this movie, Li Yi, who is only [-] years old, made a "Bitter Life" which was hailed as the worst movie of the year not long ago.

At that time, he was dubbed by the media as a "cheat director".

Because, as a new director, while his classmates were still racking their brains for a job as a director assistant, he started his own directorial journey.

And all this is because of his father Li Zhenye.

He is the second-generation star, and his first movie "Life of Bitterness" is full of old drama bones. Netizens joked that this is a movie that makes people feel extremely reliable just by looking at the cast.

However, it is precisely this kind of movie that makes people feel extremely reliable just by looking at the cast, but it has become the worst movie with the lowest rating in history on the popular movie review website.

For this reason, in the circle, Li Zhenye, an old actor with many good relationships, became a laughing stock for a while. At this time, director Li Yi really cheated his father with his strength.

Cheating director, well deserved!
Seeing this, Li Zhenye looked at Li Yi, but found that Li Yi was watching with gusto, and couldn't help feeling relieved.

Li Yi really felt that the Jingnan TV station had done a good job on this topic. If you want to promote it, you should restrain it first, Li Yi understands it.

Afterwards, all kinds of complaints about Li Yi and his first film appeared on the TV screen.

Then the style changed.

The camera came to the nightclub street of Hong Kong Island.

Such a blow is undoubtedly fatal to an ambitious young director, and so is Li Yi.

After that, he started to get drunk in nightclubs, and drank his sorrows every day.

Jingnan TV station also interviewed the employees and owners of several nightclubs.

"Yi Zai! During that time, he was a frequent visitor to our place. People often made fun of him for the movies he made, but he only drank and didn't talk."

"Drunk like mud, every day, but he only drinks and doesn't make trouble, even if he is ridiculed by others, he doesn't care."

"Yi Zai is very righteous, has a good personality, even if he is drunk, he doesn't make trouble..."

In Li Yi's eyes, he thought this paragraph was quite fresh, because his memory was very vague, after all, most of them were in a state of drunkenness.

But in Yi Lingling's eyes, it made her feel bad.

Even the eye sockets are red.

Poor parents in the world, although Li Yi cheated, but as father Li Zhenye and mother Yi Lingling saw it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts.

For this reason, Li Zhenye approached the drunk Li Yi and told him that he could support him to make another movie.

With the efforts of Li Zhenye and Yi Lingling, Li Yi regained his confidence and came up with a script "The Gift of Room No. [-]" in three days.

The video of Li Zhenye on the program "Things About Movies" appeared on the screen.

"At that time, I thought, it's over, this kid is going to cheat me again."

Although Li Zhenye felt unreliable, he still agreed. He found the famous gold medal screenwriter You Ningsheng to read the script.

A video of You Ningsheng being interviewed appeared on the screen.

"At that time, I was also out of respect for Lao Li, so I went there. In the end, the script was unexpectedly good, and he (Li Yi) even made the script for the scenes. I thought at the time that this time was reliable!"

The movie was officially launched, but because Li Yi was "famous" before, no one was willing to accept the lead actor or heroine.

In the end, in order to help his son, Li Zhenye decided to play the role himself.

But the heroine had a difficult delivery.

In order to find a suitable actor, Li Yi found Chen Yinger, the heroine of "Life of Bitterness"...

The filming is completed, but the distribution of the film has become the biggest problem.

"At that time, I contacted several distribution companies to watch the film, but in the end, all the interns came..." Li Zhenye looked helpless in the screen.

"We even thought about direct web distribution."

"Then Mr. Mu Nan Xingmu from Fanhai Film and Television came to the door and offered to accept the release of this movie."

"But, before this, Fanhai Film and Television has only released low-budget domestic horror films, so I don't know what to do with it!"

"We hit a wall several times. The distribution companies we contacted were not willing to accept the distribution work of this film. In the end, we had to treat it as a dead horse doctor."

"The poster of the movie at the time made my eyes sting. It was obviously a good and warm movie, but in order to get it in the theaters, it was a gimmick."

In this way, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" entered the theater in such a bizarre way.

In the midnight show, the news that watching horror movies made people cry was born.

However, gold always shines. Even the deceived audience chose to forgive after watching it. Not only that, they also promoted the movie everywhere.

So the movie successfully broke through the wall and got out of hand...

"No one can succeed casually. I think I am luckier than many people because I have parents who choose to support me no matter what."

"This is Li Yi, a rising young director star. We look forward to the emergence of his better new works!"
