Chapter 798: One punch opens the door to domestic science fiction (4k)

After the movie viewing session, I felt so tense when I went in, but so peaceful and peaceful when I came out.

The entrance of New Picture Company was already filled with entertainment reporters who came after hearing the news, but they were all stopped by security guards.

In the lobby on the first floor, Tong Gang was walking at the front, with Gao Yuanyuan and Han Sanping standing on the left and right, chatting with each other.

"Today's matter, I would like to thank Mr. Gao and Mr. Lu for their suggestions. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid this study and judgment would not have ended so easily." Tong Gang showed a satisfied smile.

"Tong Ju is too polite. Without the understanding and support of the leaders, this gambling-style ladder box office split plan may not be acceptable to the big guys."

Gao Yuanyuan was holding her handbag and smiling.

Damn!

Zhang Weiping followed closely behind him, feeling extremely depressed.

Originally, I wanted to rely on Zhang Yimou's reputation to force the theaters to compromise. After all, this was not the first time this happened.

Just when they thought that the rules of the game could change again according to their expectations, unexpectedly, Mr. Lu and Gao Yuanyuan came from the sky and forced the negotiation to go according to their will.

Just when he was complaining, Han Sanping reminded: "Mr. Zhang, it's all thanks to Mr. Gao this time that the negotiation went so smoothly. "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" was a success. You have to thank Mr. Gao very much."

Why the hell do I have to thank her for ruining my business?

"Ah, yes, yes, thank you, Mr. Gao, and thank you all the leaders." Zhang Weiping lowered his eyebrows and said a lot of thanks, "On the 15th, if you are free, please be sure to attend the premiere of "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" .”

"I've already watched the movie today, so there's no need."

Tong Gang and others waved their hands.

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's tactful refusal, Zhang Wei smiled but didn't smile. He dared to get angry but could not speak out. He was very angry but did not dare to curse.

Han Sanping suddenly thought of something, "Tong Ju, I am very interested in "Pacific Rim". Let's get together then?"

"Welcome all leaders to attend the premiere of "Pacific Rim". By the way, A Fei said he would come that day too."

Gao Yuanyuan said it seemingly casually.

"Oh, Mr. Lu is coming too! Yes, that's right. This is China's first large-scale science fiction masterpiece. How can Mr. Lu not come?"

Tong Gang, Han Sanping and others looked at each other with meaningful smiles and promised to arrive on time on Christmas Eve!

Seeing them surrounding Gao Yuanyuan and complimenting her, Zhang Weiping felt left out, ignored, and despised, and felt sour in his heart.

What kind of domestic science fiction masterpiece?

he tui! Think you made a pretty good "Source Code" and you're in heaven? Can it open the door to domestic science fiction?

Do you really think you can make a science fiction movie like Hollywood?

Whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe it anyway!

Do you still want the box office to exceed 10 billion? Only Zhang Yimou has this ability, as long as "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" can do it!

If you don’t believe it, let’s ride on the donkey and read the songbook, and we’ll see!

…………

"Zhang Weiping's riot in 9 major theater chains has come to an end."

"Zhang Weiping talks about the dispute over the account sharing of 'Thirteen Hairpins': My colleagues want to destroy me, but I am not doing it for my own benefit. I will increase the account sharing ratio. Like Feng Pengtong also said, a group of people behind will benefit. As a result, I When I look back, there is no one there, and there are people who are adding insult to injury. The whole situation is so ugly, I feel very chilled."

""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" adds insult to injury. Whether "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" can take revenge, we are looking forward to its premiere on the 15th."

"The ticket price of "The Thirteen Beauties" has increased by 5 yuan, and the ticket price of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has decreased by 5 yuan. Han and Tang said that although "Pacific Rim" is a heavy industry movie with high investment and high cost, in order to attract more movie fans I can feel the charm of China's first hard science fiction movie. After discussion, we decided not to increase the price, and we have an agreement to cooperate with Meituan to give away one million 19.9 yuan discount movie coupons."

"The box office of "The Thirteen Beauties" was not as good as "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" on its first day of release, with a score of 1900 million, a slight loss of 300 million."

"Shocking revelation! "Thirteen Girls" and "Pacific Rim" have reached a consensus with theaters to use the most popular stepped box office accounting method in Hollywood. Tong Gang, Director of the Film Bureau, said: This is an exploration of the commercialization of Chinese-language films. new attempt.”

"Going ahead! The box office of "The Thirteen Beauties" in its first week was 1.5 million, surpassing "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", but it is still far away from the 10 billion target set by the new picture. Zhang Weiping: This is just the beginning."

""Pacific Rim" will premiere on Christmas Eve soon. It's a strong attack. Can it become the strongest film in the Lunar New Year season?"

Throughout December, the entertainment industry was obsessed with the grievances and grievances of "The Thirteen Girls", "Pacific Rim", and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", and the topic drove continuous attention.

"Pacific Rim" is still in the pre-sale stage, and Meituan's online prime-time movie tickets for the week have almost been sold out.

"interesting."

Lu Fei was wearing pajamas and lying on the bed.

"If this trend continues, even if "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is given 2 weeks, the box office will not exceed 4 million. I know that Zhang Weiping's big mouth can only talk big words."

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but gloat.

"Oh, are you very proud of yourself?"

Lu Fei lowered his head and flipped through the progress of ASML's investment. Samsung was acting secretly, both rejecting Fu Xin and wooing Fu Xin. Lee Jae-yong felt like he was suffering from schizophrenia.

But from the intelligence, it can be accurately read that Samsung’s vote will go to the Middle East consortium. This is enough!

"Of course, it's good now. His bet will be lost, and the Han and Tang Cinemas can make more money." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

"That shows that Lao Mouzi's movies are really not that good."

Lu Fei put the document on the bedside table and looked sideways.

"It's okay, but I don't like to deliberately create a passionate scene just to create a gimmick. As for the scene between Bell and Ni Ni, it's not necessary at all. Adding it would make it look vulgar."

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head in disappointment.

"Isn't this a common problem in domestic movies nowadays? It seems that if there is no cyan lens, it will not be attractive, and it can increase the box office by tens of millions." Lu Fei raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Anyway, "Pacific Rim" doesn't have this bad problem. The highlights of the movie are stars, monsters, mechas, and hard science fiction!"

Gao Yuanyuan raised her chin.

But from her confident face, Lu Fei saw a hint of worry in her, "What's wrong? You seem to be afraid of something?"

Gao Yuanyuan leaned in his arms, "I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried whether Pacific Rim will be like Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, with a box office that didn't reach 10 billion. But I was in front of the Film Bureau, China Film, and a bunch of theater representatives. Just brag..."

"Don't worry, it's me."

Lu Fei stroked her back, "The box office will definitely exceed 10 billion. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it for you."

Outside the window, drifting snow slowly fell.

It snowed harder and harder. On December 12, Christmas Eve, the snow stopped, but the night was particularly cold.

Even so, Sunac Plaza was crowded with people. In the center of the square stood a huge Christmas tree with flashing neon lights.

Lanterns and colors were everywhere, festive and filled with a strong Christmas atmosphere. Zhang Haiyang and Wang Shuang, like other couples around them, held hands and walked into the warm room.

"Why are you in a hurry? We won't enter the venue for half an hour!" Zhang Haiyang was pulled onto the escalator.

"It's too late. We have to grab a seat in the front row. There will definitely be many celebrities coming to the premiere today. Weibo said that Master Liu is coming too!" Wang Shuang was very excited, "I have to see her no matter what. , get her autograph! Let’s go!”

"well."

Zhang Haiyang reluctantly accompanied him to the Han and Tang Cinemas on the top floor.

There is a red carpet at the end of the escalator, which extends all the way to the ticket gate in the theater. On the right is an area for the audience and media, and on the left are various posters and stands for "Pacific Rim."

A TV hanging on a pillar not far away was playing the trailer for "Pacific Rim". In the screen, Cheng Long, Zeng Li, and Jing Tian appeared one by one wearing equipment, each with its own unique monsters and mecha warriors. , came into his eyes.

"Wow!"

In the crowd, the children brought by their parents couldn't help but scream.

Zhang Haiyang was also mesmerized. Looking around, he saw that most of them were heading towards "Pacific Rim". After all, the success of "Source Code" made fans look forward to this movie, which is billed as China's first hard science fiction film, and the price Cheaper than "Thirteen Hairpins". At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

"Master, it's Master!"

"Mimi! Search and search, never leave!"

"Sissi, we also fell in love, Fei, you can't do it!"

"Hey, Tiantian, why are you only a third-tier actress?"

As Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei appeared on the same stage, the supporting fans of each family were rubbing against each other and competing with each other, and their "masters" were also competing for prominence.

It indicates that the era of traffic competition has arrived.

Screams filled the theater one after another.

Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Fei took their seats early and were chatting with Tong Gang and Han Sanping about how to continue the stepped box office splitting like a fixed splitting model when they suddenly heard:

"Mr. Lu! Mr. Gao!"

Turning around, Lu Fei saw Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping standing in front of him, saying hello in the name of thanks.

"Master Zhang..."

"I don't dare, I don't dare to call you that. Compared with Mr. Lu, I am just a commoner who makes movies, and you are the real countryman!"

Zhang Yimou wanted to encourage him, but he didn't dare to overdo it.

"Then I'll call you Director Zhang."

Lu Fei chatted for a few words, but his interest faded. He left the stage to Gao Yuanyuan and let her handle it. He made an excuse to leave and went to the box to accompany Lu Hua. The father and son lay on the bed and played for a while.

"Quack."

As soon as the closed door opened, Gao Yuanyuan walked in.

"Have you been talking for so long?"

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.

"It's not like Zhang Weiping is that annoying guy. When he saw that "The Thirteen Beauties" couldn't make money at home, he decided to go abroad and insisted on asking them to give them a hand and help them compete for Oscars." Gao Yuanyuan said angrily. Take a look.

"Isn't Lao Mouzi well-connected at the three major European film festivals? Are you still worried about not being able to get a good price in the market?"

Lu Fei handed the child into her arms.

"Now it's different from the millennium. Those who win awards in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice may not be able to sell for money, and Zhang Yimou is not the same. On the contrary, those who win Oscars can be sold for good prices." Gao Yuanyuan's eyes flashed. Turn, "I was thinking..."

"If you really want to intervene, you can go to Ivanka."

Lu Fei was eating popcorn.

"If you want to help, it can't be in vain. That's what I think. I will take this opportunity to win over Zhang Yimou." Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Lifang told me that after "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", we have the opportunity to learn from Zhang Weiping , I recruited Zhang Yimou to cooperate with the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"Oh?" Lu Fei asked curiously.

"Don't forget that the two of them are brothers. They are in serious conflict. This time, there is a big quarrel in the nine major theaters. Zhang Weiping is using the banner of Zhang Yimou without authorization. The relationship between the two is considered to be at a standstill. It is said that Zhang Yimou is preparing to go it alone."

Gao Yuanyuan is ready to make a move, who is Zhang Yimou?

That is one of the golden signatures of Chinese-language movies today. He is more powerful and famous than Feng Trousers and Chen Kaige, not to mention that he has the resources of the entire northwest circle behind him.

"never mind."

Lu Fei waved his hand.

"why?"

Gao Yuanyuan blinked.

"Every generation has its mission. Zhang Yimou has completed the task of commercializing Chinese-language films. He is old. In the next industrialization of Chinese-language films, he will be outdated as an old man. What is needed is Guo Fan, Enterprising newcomers like Wu Jing and Ning Hao." Lu Fei lay lazily, "He should stay and continue to shine at the State Council Gala."

"You can't say that, you can learn if you don't understand. Isn't Zhang Yimou's characteristic a superb visual image and a superb visual experience? Isn't this suitable for the future of special effects movies you mentioned?"

Gao Yuanyuan stepped back from him, "His biggest shortcoming is that he can't write and direct by himself. It just so happened that we provided him with scriptwriters."

"If you want to, then try it."

Lu Fei patted his leg and smiled.

At least we can't create a "Man Jiang Hong" like the previous life.

Is that "Man Jiang Hong"? Phew, it’s clearly half river green!

At this moment, a golden dragon flew out from the curtain of the box. After the dragon logo flashed out, the movie finally officially started.

The story of "Pacific Rim" is extremely simple, it is about robots fighting monsters in the apocalyptic era, but it is different from the typical individual heroism of Hollywood. Just like "The Wandering Earth", it emphasizes teamwork, collectivism and a community of destiny.

Especially the final battle.

In the movie of the previous life, although the Battle of Xiangjiang was fought vigorously and lasted for half an hour, it was not the final BOSS battle. But it is different now. The final battle is not only set on the Asian battlefield, but also treats the entire Neon as a battlefield.

Only Ultraman is allowed to turn on his lights, but robots are not allowed to fight monsters?

The 4-star mecha Storm Crimson has also been upgraded to the 5-star Red Sun, which is the mecha warrior piloted by the hero and heroine Cheng Long and Zeng Li. It is the product of the full cooperation of all countries in the world.

Even close-range defense cannons were moved out.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The realistic punching feeling is accompanied by the theme music of "Pacific Rim". The grand orchestral music starts with majestic momentum. Then the rhythm gradually speeds up, and the addition of percussion and electronic elements makes the whole atmosphere even more exciting.

Wang Shuang was delighted, and Zhang Haiyang was even more delighted.

I originally expected the score to be around 80 points, but unexpectedly it exceeded my expectations and was suddenly raised to 120 points.

"Damn it, it's even better than a Hollywood movie!"

"Is this really a science fiction film made by ourselves? Why do I still have the hallucination that I am dreaming?"

""Pacific Rim" is so exciting!"

After the movie ended, the whole theater was like boiling water, boiling with discussion, just like walking into a five-star hotel, serving a bowl of noodles, eating it with a shiny face, and leaving satisfied, but as if forgetting to eat. It's just shaved noodles.

Zhang Haiyang also felt the same way, and he still had more to say.

"Should we watch it again?"

Wang Shuang could tell her boyfriend's thoughts at a glance.

"Can it be done! Is it really possible!"

Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but be excited. After all, a man's romance is nothing but a mecha!

"Of course, but you have to pay."

Wang Shuang pushed him gently.

"You wait here, I'll be right back!"

Zhang Haiyang ran to the counter and saw that Hantang Cinema was completely different from other cinemas. In addition to daily equipment such as popcorn machines, there were also a series of "Pacific Rim" mechas and monster hands on the booth. Yes, the price is clearly marked, there is no doubt it is genuine.

Although he was very excited, the most important thing right now was the movie tickets. He raised his head and looked at the TV and found that even the midnight show——

There are no more votes!

None of them are gone!

And it’s not just one day, it’s three days in a row!
