Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 212 50 million box office? ? ?
Thinking that there was still some time before the plane took off, Lin Yuan also called Director Tian Yusheng under the eyes of several people.

As the leading actor and also the most popular actor in "Predecessor 3", Lin Yuan still needs to confirm when this movie will be released.

Don't let it really be released during the Spring Festival, just the announcement of these few movies is enough for him to go back and forth.

After two beeps, the call was quickly connected.

Lin Yuan wasn't sure what Tian Yusheng was doing, so he asked tentatively, "Hey, Director Tian, ​​are you busy now?"

"No, rest at home, what's the matter?"

From the tone of the phone, Tian Yusheng was obviously curious about Lin Yuan calling him, and he didn't know what Lin Yuan wanted him for.

Lin Yuan saw that Tian Yusheng didn't do anything, so he asked straight to the point: "It's nothing serious, I'll just ask Director Tian when the movie "Predecessor 3" will be released."

After hearing Lin Yuan's question, Tian Yusheng didn't think too much about it, and replied directly: "The movie is expected to be released on December 12 this year, which happens to be released on New Year's Eve."

Similar to the choices of other entertainment companies, Huayi Brothers also set their sights on the big cake of the Spring Festival schedule.

As for why there is no fixed file, the reason is very simple. Everyone knows how fierce the competition for the Spring Festival schedule is. If there is another movie like "The Mermaid" during the Spring Festival next year, and it chooses to be released during the Spring Festival, wouldn't it be used as a foil for others in the past? ?
Therefore, the specific schedule has not yet been determined, and there is still room for manipulation.

After answering Lin Yuan's question, Director Tian Yusheng came to his senses and asked, "Lin Yuan, why did you suddenly ask about the movie's release?"

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, and told about the fact that several of his films were released during the Spring Festival.

"A Good Show", "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Tang Detective 2", "Kung Fu Yoga". Now there is another "Predecessor 3". The most important thing is that these movies still have competition for the box office in the same period Champion strength.

Now they are all crowded in the same Spring Festival stall. For Lin Yuan, this is not "cannibalism" what is it?
After Lin Yuan's words fell, Director Tian Yusheng's surprised voice rang on the phone: "There are already four movies confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival?"

"To be precise, there should be five now," Lin Yuan corrected feebly.

After hearing this, Director Tian Yusheng on the other end of the phone fell silent.

The reason why he dared to choose to release it during the Spring Festival is because he valued Lin Yuan's box office appeal. Take the movie "Mermaid" as an example, except for the love of the star, the rest of the box office basically depends on Lin Yuan hold up.

Although the movie "Predecessor 3" is not comparable to "The Mermaid", it is still a sequel to the series, and under the banner of the original cast of "Predecessor 1", the discussion on related topics will not be too bad.

But now?
Among the movies in the same period, four are starring Lin Yuan, and there is even a movie directed and acted by Lin Yuan himself!

Under such circumstances, what kind of publicity can their "Predecessor 3" crew get, can they rely on Han Geng?

Tian Yusheng was almost amused by his own thought. Leaving Lin Yuan aside, is Han Geng's box office appeal as big as top stars like Huang Bo, Jackie Chan, and Wang Baoqiang?
It can be judged by simply thinking about it with your head. If "Predecessor 3" insists on being released during the Spring Festival, there will only be one result, and that is to barely be able to drink soup during the Spring Festival.

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan also asked: "Director Tian, ​​can you mention that the movie will be released during the summer vacation?"

"Summer vacation time?"

Originally, after what Lin Yuan said, Tian Yusheng did have the idea of ​​an early release, but he was not optimistic about the summer movie market, even if it was released earlier, it should be released on the National Day file.

Hearing Director Tian's tone, Lin Yuan knew that the other party was a bit unwilling to release it during the summer vacation.

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and began to persuade: "Director Tian, ​​besides the National Day film, the summer holiday film can be released in advance, but think about it, who is the audience for our movie? Isn't it still a couple? Since it is Couples, there must be a lot of college students, our national day is scheduled to be released, and couples go on a trip, how can they have time to go to the cinema to watch movies?"

After Lin Yuan's explanation, Tian Yusheng began to feel a little shaken in his heart.

National Day release is indeed a good choice, but how many couples are willing to come to the cinema to watch movies on this statutory holiday?
According to what Lin Yuan said, it would be better to set the screening time during the school term.

It just so happens that the university has just started at this time, and the young couples have just returned to school, and they also have that leisurely time to go out to watch a movie to enhance their relationship. Besides, if it is released at the end of August, their "Predecessor 3" movie will still be able to catch up with the National Day schedule. Look at it like this , is indeed a good choice.

Thinking of this, director Tian Yusheng pondered for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll take some time to talk to Huayi Brothers to see if it can be released in August."

After all, the distributor of the movie "Predecessor 3" is Huayi Brothers, and it is not something that he alone can make a decision about the movie's release.

Seeing that Director Tian Yusheng agreed, Lin Yuan felt a lot more relaxed.

If "Predecessor 3" is released during the Spring Festival, the highest box office will hover around one billion. If it is changed to the National Day or summer holiday file, at least [-] million box office will be added.

Unless Huayi Brothers has trouble with money, Lin Yuan does not believe that Huayi Brothers will reject the suggestion of an early release.

After Lin Yuan hung up the phone, Chen Sichen turned his head and asked, "How is it? Is it scheduled for summer vacation?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and answered: "If there are no accidents, it should be released at the end of August, barely in time for the summer vacation."

After hearing Lin Yuan's answer, the few people felt a lot more relaxed. As long as there are domestic films in the summer vacation, they can compete with foreign commercial films.

But Chen Sichen suddenly remembered something, and said with great interest: "Speaking of which, you won't rely on this movie to reach a box office of tens of billions, right?"

"I think so, but I don't know how the film's box office performance will be in the end." Lin Yuan also responded jokingly.

Several people chatted for a while in the terminal, and it wasn't long before it was time to board the plane.

By the time they arrived in New York, it was already early morning the next day.

Fortunately, Chen Sichen had already arranged for the crew and hotel to take care of things. After two days of jet lag here, the crew of "Tang Detective 2" also quickly entered the shooting.

The reason why the crew entered the shooting state so quickly is actually very simple.

One is that Wanda Films requires the film to be released during the Spring Festival. They can only finish the filming and submit the film for review as soon as possible. Second, filming in New York is not as expensive as Thailand. It's been a week, with such a huge expense, the sooner the filming is finished, the better.

As for the filming, after "Tang Detective" achieved a box office success of more than one billion yuan, the investment in "Tang Detective 2" has also increased a lot this time. Not only has the crew changed shotguns and equipment, but the scale of the crew has also expanded. Not a lot.

In addition, the crew of "Tang Detective 2" is basically the original crew, and the acting skills of the actors have always been online, so there were no major problems during the filming process.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

While the crew of "Tang Detective 2" was filming in New York, the domestic film market was warming up in advance.

In late June, the overwhelming publicity has already made people feel the excitement of the summer holiday.

The posters of the three Hollywood blockbusters "The Other Sex: Covenant", "Wonder Woman" and "Transformers 5" have almost occupied major theaters in China. Even the most played short films on the Internet are mostly from "Wonder Woman" and "Transformers 5" two movie trailers.

On the other hand, among domestic movies released in June, such as "Rescue Against Time", "17-year-old Rainy Season", "ZG Salesman" and so on, almost none of them can compete with these Hollywood blockbusters.

The only good news is that "Predecessor 3" starring Lin Yuan is scheduled to be released on August 8. At the same time, a promotional activity for the film has also been launched, which can be regarded as a shot in the arm for domestic filmmakers.

While filming "Tang Detective 2", Lin Yuan did not forget to promote the movie "Predecessor 3".

He is currently filming in New York, and he will definitely be absent from the publicity before the film's release. He can only record more videos when he is free for filming, and contribute as much as possible to the promotion of the film.

Time passed day by day, and the summer vacation was getting closer and closer.

In June, the sci-fi movie "Rescue Against Time" starring Yang Mi and Huo Jianhua was released, and it earned 6 million box office in 3 days, which sparked a heated discussion in the domestic film market. Many self-media began to tout the rise of domestic sci-fi movies. That's true, but that movie wasn't Rescue.

After winning 3 million box office in 1.1 days after its release, the movie "Rescue Against Time" did not make great strides, but slumped all of a sudden.

On the other hand, the Marvel movie "Wonder Woman" earned a good box office of 3.1 million in the first week. Immediately after the release of "Transformers 5", the environment for domestic movies became worse and worse, and almost all of them became box office competitions for Hollywood movies. cannon fodder.

It is worth mentioning that "Transformers 5" has been a mess in foreign markets, both in terms of box office and word of mouth. However, in China, the box office has been singing all the way. It reached 6 million yuan, which is a large part of the movies of the same period.

Just when Hollywood movies captured the domestic film market, the movie "Predecessor 3" also started to spread the publicity a month before its release.

"The domestic film of the summer vacation has added a new force, and the file is scheduled for August 8!!!"

"The third film in the "Predecessor" series, the original cast of the first film has returned to China, and the sequel is scheduled for August 8th. Please bring tissues when you enter the theater!"

"Lin Yuan's new work "Predecessor 3" is back, which movie can win the summer box office championship?"

"After "The Mermaid" exploded at the box office, can Lin Yuan reproduce the box office miracle?"

"Suspense in the summer vacation? The trailer of "Predecessor 3" was released for half a day, and the number of effective clicks reached 400 million, and the total number of views exceeded [-] million!"

When Hollywood movies swept the box office of the domestic movie market, the movie "Predecessor 3" is less than 20 days away from its release.

Under the operation of capital, the topic of the movie "Predecessor 3" is directly full of topics, which is even more terrifying than the publicity of these Hollywood blockbusters.

However, "Predecessor Raiders" itself is a popular movie, and there are definitely a lot of viewers who have watched the first movie. If the second movie didn't hit the street, the current popularity may be even more exaggerated.

The movie was advertised as centering on Lin Yuan and Han Geng, the two protagonists, but in fact anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Huayi Brothers almost put all their money on Lin Yuan. Compared with Lin Yuan, it is simply a world of difference.

And Huayi Brothers' propaganda like this undoubtedly made them bet right.

With Lin Yuan starring again, and the original cast of "Predecessor" returning, it's hard for the audience not to pay attention.

"Damn it, the third part is finally about to be released, and it's specially chosen to be released during the summer vacation."

"Uneasy and kind! Absolutely uneasy and kind!"

"If you are a scumbag, donate a movie ticket to the grandfather!!"

"It's bad, the girlfriend I just talked about, can I take her to see the movie "Predecessor 3"?"

"His heart is terrible. It will be released in August. Isn't that the start of school soon? This is clearly to make money for couples!"

"I've already changed my sixth girlfriend. I didn't expect that the movie "Predecessor 3" was filmed!"

"I've already bought the movie tickets. I'm professionally retrieving the sad young lady. I guarantee that I'm not a scumbag like the patriarch!"

The promotion of "Predecessor 3" has officially started. As a standard commercial film, the production cost is not much, but the money is basically spent on Lin Yuan's salary and film promotion, and even director Tian Yusheng returned it to Huayi Brothers The military order was issued, which finally made Huayi Brothers add an additional 1000 million in film promotion fees.

This is director Tian Yusheng's turnaround. He finally invited Lin Yuan back. If this movie is a hit, he might not have any employers who dare to let him make movies in the future, and after all, there is an audience base for the first movie. , This is the greatest confidence to dare to invest tens of millions of publicity.

The Internet, indoor and outdoor advertising screens, TV stations, bus stops, and movie theaters have basically covered most of the cities in the country with the opening of the publicity.

Tens of millions of publicity expenses, the effect is naturally very obvious.

There are more and more discussions on the Internet about the movie "Predecessor 3", but most of them are about Lin Yuan and the final box office of "Predecessor 3".

We must know that there are basically no films starring Lin Yuan with a box office of less than one billion, and the box office of "Tang Detective", "Looking for the Dragon", and "Mermaid" is higher than the other. Netizens couldn't help but wonder whether the movie "Predecessor 3" can continue Lin Yuan's legend.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the movie "Predecessor 3" hadn't been released yet, but there was a sudden emergence of a domestic movie in the middle!
At 7:27 pm on July 8, "Wolf Warrior 2" landed in major theaters. It was released for four hours, and the box office directly exceeded 25 million. In 12 hours, the box office exceeded [-] million. In less than two days, the box office exceeded [-] million. Mark, released for five days, the box office broke through an astonishing [-] billion yuan!

"Awesome!"

After seeing this data, Lin Yuan, Chen Sichen and others who were filming couldn't help but swear.

It earned 12 billion at the box office within five days of its release. This box office growth rate is comparable to that of "The Mermaid"!
Originally, domestic filmmakers thought that "The Mermaid" would keep its box office record for a long time, but now it seems that at this time next month, "Wolf Warrior 2" will have to set a new box office record.

No one thought that the box office results of "Wolf Warrior 2" would be such an explosion!

We must know that when "Wolf Warrior 1" was released, the box office of the movie was only 5 million yuan. Compared with the movies at that time, it was considered a good movie, but it was only good.

This has also led to domestic netizens and the media not being particularly optimistic about the movie "Wolf Warrior 2". Even if the results exploded, it would only be around one billion at the box office.

However, as soon as this result came out, it undoubtedly slapped everyone in the face.

Chen Sichen looked at the data on his phone, with the word "envy" written in his eyes, and asked after a long time, "Lin Yuan, was the box office of "Mermaid" so exaggerated at that time?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, and replied truthfully: "No, judging by the growth rate of the box office, it is possible for the box office to exceed 50 billion."

"50?!"

"Isn't that a little too exaggerated?"

Both Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yang on the side were taken aback by Lin Yuan's estimated total box office.

What is the concept of a total box office of 50 billion?You must know that they have invested in the movie "Tang Detective 2". If "Tang Detective 2" can win 50 billion box office, they can get hundreds of millions of dollars just for the movie dividend!
Xiao Yang swallowed his saliva, his eyes gleaming: "My dear, is it so profitable to make a movie, or should I try to make a movie too?"

"It's not impossible, I can invest a little if I'm short of funds at that time." Lin Yuan replied.

He has seen Xiao Yang's acting skills in his eyes. From "Tang Detective 1" to "Tang Detective 2", the speed of progress in acting skills is a bit exaggerated. This kind of person looks like God's reward for food. Investing in Xiao Yang is definitely a must. A no-loss deal.

"You still have the mood to invest in others, so you don't think about the box office of "Predecessor 3"?" Chen Sichen reminded Lin Yuanlai from the side.

Originally, they all thought that the movie "Predecessor 3" was stable, and with Lin Yuan's exaggerated box office appeal, it would be an absolute breeze to win the summer box office.

In the end, no one expected that "Wolf Warrior 2" would come out halfway.

Judging from this momentum, I am afraid that basically none of this year's domestic films can compete with "Wolf Warrior 2". Thinking of this, Chen Sichen felt very lucky.

If "Tang Detective 2" meets "Wolf Warrior 2", the box office will shrink by at least half of expectations!
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "Is there any way to do this, unless I return to China for a national roadshow now, "Predecessor 3" should not be able to catch up with the movie box office of "Wolf Warrior 2"."

He is still very self-aware. The subject matter of "Predecessor 3" has already limited the upper limit of the box office. The only thing Lin Yuan hopes for now is that the movie "Predecessor 3" can get as much box office as possible, and strive to help him win it as soon as possible. [-] billion box office".

Fortunately, Wu Jing's accumulated movie box office was not high before. If Huang Bo is cast in this "Wolf Warrior 2", I am afraid that there will be no suspense about the ownership of the tens of billions of box office.

With the box office record, he can still use the movie "The God of Medicine" to break his wrists. For Lin Yuan now, the most important thing is to be the first to win the box office of tens of billions!
