Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 369 369. The schedule that has become incomprehensible 【Subscription】

"Yifei is probably very depressed,"

Lu Chen nodded honestly: "If she doesn't change her manager team, there will be many depressed days in the future."

"Never mind her," Liu Shishi was relieved.

She wasn't worried at all that Mr. Lu would be snatched away by her, and she didn't have to show strong hostility towards them.

There's no need to watch the show every time, Lu Chen belongs to my mother, and all the other coquettish bitches are dead.

"I don't know what Yifei thinks, this kind of choice can be wrong."

To be honest, Liu Shishi also couldn't understand Liu Tianxian's operation,
If it was her, there was no need to choose at all.

Choose Lu Chen and the others directly.

"I guess the three words of co-production are more attractive," Lu Chen said while planning to have a small meeting with his daughter-in-law.

Co-production films can have far more advantages than imported films in terms of theater scheduling, account sharing ratio, and policy support.

Therefore, many people will make movies for the sake of policy, but this is precisely putting the cart before the horse.

The current phenomenon is that most co-productions cannot even meet the basic requirements of commercial films such as telling a good story.

It is not qualified to talk about difficulty at all, let alone show Huaguo culture at a high level.

Liu Shishi didn't stop Lu Chen's movement, but tied Lu Chen with his long legs.

"That's right, the three words "shooting and filming" are quite attractive?" Liu Shishi said catering to Lu Chen.

Of course she knew Lu Chen's views on this kind of film.

in tune,

It is to enhance the strength of domestic films,

Attract a broader market and help Huaguo Culture "go global".

Instead of bluntly mixing Chinese and foreign cultures.

However, many co-productions put the cart before the horse, and there are very few Chinese elements in them;
For example, some road movies do not show the meaning of "reflecting life through road".

So much so that in such a cultural collision between the two countries, we can always see that the "posture" is beautiful, but there are not too many sparks bursting out.

As a producer, she has also read related reports.

There is a professor of film department in Ugly country who said something like this: "Hollywood's current attitude, Chinese people invest in them to make movies, they are very happy, it's pie in the sky, it's stupid money; Make a movie together, they have to think about it."

This is still very reasonable.

in fact.

Not only the Ugly people should think about it, but the Hua people should also think about it.

Huaguo film production companies have developed in the direction of internationalization.

Is such a film really in line with the mainstream of the film market?
No matter how glitzy "Made in Hollywood" is.

No amount of fancy publicity stunts, no resolution to forge a good story.

It's just a mass production of some standard movie products with different tricks.

Liu Shishi could see this very clearly.
However, she doesn't have the time to continue thinking about these things now, because in order to make her sleep better, Lu Chen,

Already started to exercise.

Well, exercise helps you sleep.

The next day.

While Liu Shishi was still catching up on sleep, Lu Chen had already arrived at Jiaxing Media.

The first-day box office of "Three Lives Three Worlds" was not bad.

More than 100 million.

This is the number without any moisture.

It was announced that it was close to 1.5 million, and it reached 1.5 million on the first day, which means that the project "Three Lives III" has become one of the more profitable projects.

Generally speaking, as long as the quality of the movie is qualified, there is no problem with the subsequent box office doubling several times.

It is not impossible to double it ten times or even dozens of times.

Of course, the latter must appear in the kind of movies that have very little pre-publicity or set box office records.

Simply put, it is the kind of food that relies on word of mouth.

When it was shown, no one asked,

Afterwards, word of mouth fermented, and the box office got higher and higher.

Although "Three Lives Three Worlds" was publicized before it was released, audiences who should know knew it.

Therefore, the subsequent box office trend will definitely not be doubled by dozens of times.

Unless it can cause a viewing effect.

And "Three Lives Three Worlds" has a high probability that it is not qualified to cause a viewing effect.

It is a pure fan movie, and the subject matter is a bit niche.

The word-of-mouth of "Three Lives Three Worlds" has also been released, which is about the same as Lu Chen expected.

Although the subject matter is a bit small,
But word of mouth is still good.

The score was 8.1 on the first day, which is a bit inflated.

After a while it will drop below 8.

The completion of the movie "Three Lives Three Worlds" is indeed excellent, but in fact there is not much innovation.

The story told isn't exactly new either.

So, for those fans who haven't seen the drama version, it's a bit unfriendly.

Therefore, with the extension of time, there is a high probability that the score will drop.

But for now.

This rating is good enough.

Surprising enough.

That means fans who trust word-of-mouth will be sucked into theaters by this score.

The future trend of "Three Lives Three Worlds" is under the blessing of word of mouth and quality.

It will be smooth sailing.

The same is true.

The box office on the first day was close to 1.5 million, and on the second day, "Three Lives III" won another 1.8 million at the box office.

In two days, the total box office was 3.3 million.

Although this box office is not as good as those big productions that Lu Chen and the others made.

But compared to those works with a relatively small investment.

Comparable.

When the box office was released, everyone who cared about the box office was relieved.

Zeng Jia said to Lu Chen: ""Three Lives III" seems to be basically stable. According to the current trend, the final box office of "Three Lives III" should be between 12 billion and 15 billion. If it performs well in the future, It is likely to exceed 15 billion, but I don’t know if your boss Lu is satisfied with the quality.”

"You think too much, the subject matter is limited, and the total box office should be around 12 billion. This is a fan movie, and it's hard to attract other moviegoers."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

His expectation for "Three Lives III" is to break through one billion.

From the current point of view,
Shouldn't be much of a problem.

Of course, Lu Chen also has more expectations,
only!
Such expectations are inappropriate here.

Expecting too much will consume the potential of this project.

"Arrange it, don't make too much publicity."

"How to say?" Zeng Jia was stunned.

"We're going to make money for three movies. Don't exhaust the potential of the audience with one movie." Lu Chen explained.

"Understood." Zeng Jia nodded slightly.

It's not that many sequels are not good, but that the show crew squeezed out the potential of the audience in the first part.

Wait until the next sequel.

The potential of the audience hasn't recovered yet, so they don't have much interest in playing with the show side.

What Lu Chen meant was not to squeeze too hard.

Go with the flow.

Leave some regrets to the audience and fans, and they will continue to support the second and third parts.

if not.

Even if you shoot the lower part with higher quality than this one.

The box office may not be comparable to this one.

Without these fans and fans.

Those neutral audiences watch the movie, but they are very rational.

Rational watching, rational scoring.

It often leads to the rating of the movie not going up or down.

The plot of Sansheng III is not particularly cool, and the values ​​​​are not particularly right.

In addition, some plots have already appeared in the drama version, although there are differences between the movie and the drama version.

But for the audience, this kind of plot is difficult for them to watch repeatedly.

With the current box office, it has exceeded expectations, and there is no need to continue to squeeze the potential of movie fans.

"It makes sense for you to say that. Many viewers go to the cinema because the drama version is not enjoyable. However, movies and TV dramas are different after all. One needs to spend money, and the other does not need to spend money. If the squeeze is too hard , it's really easy to arouse the disgust of these movie fans." Zeng Jia nodded and said.

"Most of the ratings for this movie are from die-hard fans. If these die-hard fans are removed, the rating of this movie is estimated to be around 7 points."

This is the truth, many viewers are brainless ratings for this kind of movie.

It seems that the score is not high, but Wu Ying has done a good enough job.

Anyway.

"Three Lives Three Worlds" has been confirmed to be a relatively successful project, and Jiaxing Media made a huge profit without investing anything.

There is no need to be too greedy.

Zeng Jia agreed with Lu Chen's words.

Later, Zeng Jia focused on the movie "My Motherland and Me".

"If we didn't donate the proceeds of the movie "My Motherland and Me", then we would have made a lot of money." Zeng Jia said regretfully.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "There is never enough money to be made. The income from "Three Lives III" should be able to support the release of "King Kong". Shi Shi hasn't made a film for two years, and her return will definitely cause a movie-watching effect." Yes, plus my cameo..."

For "King Kong", Lu Chen is quite confident.

"Enough is enough. I just think that the profit of more than one billion will be thrown out like this, and I feel a little uncomfortable." Zeng Jia said helplessly.

The box office of "My Motherland and Me" is definitely high.

Zeng Jia was convinced of this.

Including Lu Chen, the appeal of a total of seven directors is quite terrifying.

Basically no one is their enemy.

That is the factor,
So Xu Zheng also wanted to put "囧囧 in Hong Kong" at this time.

"Hong Kong囧" plus "My Motherland and Me" bonus.

He will definitely go to the next level.

"I won't talk about "My Motherland and Me", but you can give away a project like "True, Taiping Wheel" as soon as you say it, so you have to mix it up." Zeng Jia is real this time heartache.

"Is "True, The Wheel of Peace" going to be released?" Lu Chen instantly became interested.

Zeng Jia nodded slightly: "Master Xing has also announced the schedule, and it's also a National Day date, one day after "My Motherland and Me."

"Interesting."

This schedule is really interesting.

"Aren't you worried that your head will be bloodied?" Seeing Lu Chen's expression on the other side, Zeng Jia couldn't understand what he was thinking for a while.

"Xu Zheng wants to go a step further, Master Xing wants to get into the sight of the top, this schedule is really interesting." Lu Chen said with a smile: "If there is no "My Motherland and Me", "True, Taiping Wheel" can really replace it. "My Motherland and Me" became a gift film."

"If Master Xing changes well, I think this year's Huading Award should be his."

Lu Chen smiled: "It's true, the group of judges like this kind of tone, with many reversals, reflecting the dark side of human nature, and the most important thing is that it is politically correct."

Master Xing put this movie in this schedule.

It is absolutely politically correct, otherwise, there is absolutely no chance of it being released in this schedule.

Last year's "The Great Wall" by Guoshi is the best example.

"Also, the setting you gave is too challenging for the audience."

Although Zeng Jia hadn't read the script adapted by Master Xing, she only listened to Lu Chen's setting.

Already felt my scalp tingle.

The higher-ups can agree with Master Xing to put this movie on the National Day file.

Don't even think about it, the film's satire on Ugly Country is absolutely pungent.

of course.

Lu Chen has nothing to worry about, no matter how "True, Peace Wheel" is changed.

Compared with their "My Motherland and Me", there is still a gap.

but.

Lu Chen had nothing to worry about, not necessarily the others.

The first is Xu Guangtou.

Putting "Lost in Hong Kong" on the National Day file, in addition to facing "My Motherland and Me", you have to face Master Xing's "True, Peaceful Wheel".

But he is not worried about "My Motherland and Me", after all, he also has a part in this movie.

But "True, the Wheel of Peace" does not have his share.

It's a real fight.

Just like what Lu Chen thought, Xu Guangtou really had a headache at this moment: "Old Wang, do you think it will hurt both sides?"

"Probably not." Boss Wang was a little hesitant: "Regardless of whether we will lose out or not, this schedule is too suitable for us."

This is the truth, they really might not have such luck in another schedule.

Boss Wang who has seen the finished product of "My Motherland and Me" also knows it.

"My Motherland and Me" has a high probability of going crazy. The box office of 40 billion is basically not difficult. If "Hong Kong Ji" can get about 20 billion at the box office.

Then Xu Zheng's film is absolutely stable.

If there is no "My Motherland and Me" as a foil, they would like to go further alone.

"Hong Kong囧" had to increase by at least one billion.

It is basically impossible for a small-cost comedy to get a box office of 30 billion.

20 billion is already at the ceiling level.

To be able to get 20 billion, it has to rely on the shareholder wind of "My Motherland and Me".

Otherwise, 15 billion is already in the sky.

This is the truth!

Small-budget comedies have limitations, especially road comedies like his.

more restrictive.

This kind of comedy is definitely not as good as "Charlotte Annoyance".

Let's not talk about anything else,

In just one point, "Lost in Hong Kong" is no match for "Charlotte Annoyance".

time span.

The story of "Charlotte Annoyance" spans a long time, from the character's high school life to entering society.

"Hong Kong囧" pays more attention to regionalism.

That is to say, spatiality. The whole story only took place in Hong Kong for a short period of time, which led to the different essences of the two films under the similar cloak.

This difference cannot be made up by the acting skills of the actors and the plot of the story.

Boss Wang thought for a while and said: "Come on, don't think that there is nothing left. If you take too many shortcuts, you will get lost in it. If you want to go further, go up after a fight is far better than going up the shortcut. Much more stable."

Baldy Xu stopped talking.

He knew that he had no choice.

Missing the opportunity, he wanted to get into that position.

Far more difficult than it is now.

After a long time, Xu Zhengcai said: "Then let's touch it, I also want to know the gap between me and Master Xing."

There was also a gap between powerful directors before.

no doubt.

Master Xing is definitely in the first echelon.

If Master Xing is replaced by Director Feng, Director Chen and the National Teacher.

Xu Zheng has absolutely nothing to worry about, maybe he will be pleasantly surprised when he meets them.

But Master Xing's words!

Definitely ceiling level.

Really can't beat it.

In Xu Zheng's heart, Master Xing at this time was terrifying.

"If, I mean if we win Zhou Xingchi, then..."

Ok.

Boss Wang also understood that he was fanciful, and he couldn't continue talking halfway through.

"What are you thinking? With Zhou Xingchi's level, "Taiping Wheel" can't be changed." Xu Zheng shook his head and said.

now,

It is no secret that Lu Chen gave Master Xing an idea.

If Master Guangxing was alone, then he could really be daydreaming, but adding Lu Chen's words, it can only be said to be whimsical.

"In any case, we will not give up on this schedule."

Xu Zheng suddenly became very confident.

The second ones who were not very happy were Director Ding and Tianwang Liu.

"Rescue Mr. My" was also released on the National Day file.

What about the movie.

After a few years, fans will forget about the plot of "囧囧".

But this "Rescue Mr. Me" will not necessarily be forgotten.

Because this film is an eternal memory in the hearts of many movie fans.

Some people will say that after watching this movie, they don't think there is anything awesome about it.

There are no special effects that can bring visual shock,

There is no complicated brain-burning plot,
Not to mention the love drama of you and me,

It looks as simple as those case-handling documentaries broadcast on Yangma Twelve.

That's true at first glance, but when you look back, you realize that's what makes it so awesome,
It's not easy to make a movie so real, so real like a documentary.

Who made this movie?
Director Ding.

This is not a familiar name in the minds of most ordinary viewers,

But if you show his works to believe that everyone will understand what kind of director he is.

"Fuss" in 2000, "Tough Guys" in 08, "Little Soldiers" in 10 years, "Tough Guys 11" in 2 years, and "Police Story 13" in 2013.

Although the scores on Douban.com are not very high,

But in the hearts of many movie fans, Director Ding's strength is quite good.

Director Ding's works are basically around the passing line. Although there are no brilliant masterpieces, there will be no frenzied bad movies.

very responsibly,

In the few films he has shot, there are still many bright spots.

And what makes other opponents more concerned about it is.

The cast of this movie is pretty awesome.

The first is Liu Tianwang, the second is Liu Ye, and the last is Wang Qianyuan.

Who can not care about the lineup of the three major movie stars?

of course.

Except for Lu Chen who knew the answer.

It may be that the style of the film is more realistic, or it may be that the three film stars are not as big as imagined.

In short, the box office is a bit unsatisfactory.
