Entertainment, I only like to make movies

1 month 3 number.

In the afternoon, Fang Ziheng joined the propaganda team full of energy.

Judging from just a few movie theaters in the imperial capital, the movie-watching enthusiasm of "Edge of Tomorrow" can be called overwhelming, and the ticket window and waiting hall are crowded with crowds, which is very lively.

A theater manager reported to Fang Ziheng that "Edge of Tomorrow" has nearly 70% of the film schedule, 3% 100D attendance, and the venues are full.

The attendance rate of the old-fashioned 2D hall was as high as 95%. After watching the 2D movie, many viewers even queued up again to buy the 3D movie and started a second viewing.

This kind of hot scene already has the phenomenon-level movie-watching enthusiasm of "Avatar" at the beginning.

If it can be strong for a week, then.
These were the exact words of the theater manager. Fang Ziheng thanked him, but he didn't talk too much, nor did he brag.

It's not because I don't want to brag, but because the reporter hasn't arrived yet.

On the contrary, Liu Ye, Liu Qianqian, Deng Chao and other main creative teams were very excited after hearing the manager's words, and they were full of energy, throwing off their arms and shouting hard.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xingmei Cinemas in the imperial capital.

The media chasing hot spots finally blocked the main creative team of "Edge of Tomorrow".

On the steps outside the studio, more than a dozen reporters surrounded Fang Ziheng and others.

The reporter from Tencent News was the first to get the right to ask questions. He held up the microphone in one hand, pointed at the crowd at the entrance of the movie theater with the other, and asked loudly: "Director Fang, "Edge of Tomorrow" showed a hot scene on the first day of release. I think May I ask what is your expected box office on the first day?"

"Over 4000 million!"

Fang Ziheng reported a slightly out-of-the-ordinary figure. The first-day box office of his previous three films was a bit low, and he failed to break through the 3000 million mark.

At present, the first-day box office record holder of a domestic film is "The Great Earthquake" by Feng Pants in the summer, with a box office of 3550 million.

This time "Edge of Tomorrow" is released, whether it is the atmosphere of New Year's Day and Spring Festival, or the theater screens across the country, it is higher than the July summer file.

It can be said that the release schedule of "Edge of Tomorrow" is the best schedule in 2011, bar none.

It not only caught up with the last peak of the Lunar New Year file, but also occupied the first-mover advantage of the Spring Festival file.

4000 million box office on the first day is the goal Fang Ziheng set for himself!
The eyes of the reporters flickered, and they could hear his ambition and self-confidence, secretly thinking that today's chase interview was worth it.

This question alone is enough to stir up the entertainment and movie circles.

However, the reporters chasing interviews today are veterans with high eyelids and a good understanding of movie box office trends.

Although Fang Ziheng's words are a bit bragging, they are understandable. After all, the zero-point box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has reached 690 million.

Based on this data, it is not impossible for the box office to break 4000 million on the first day.

Thinking of this, the reporters quietly glanced at Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Deng Chao, Hu Jun and others beside them.

They were a calm group, and obviously agreed with the numbers reported by Fang Ziheng!
"Edge of Tomorrow" has a 3D bonus, and this alone can increase the first-day box office by several million.

4000 million, not much!

After the first question was asked, the reporter from Tencent Entertainment retreated under the pull of the reporter from Sina Weibo, and gave way to the main C to ask questions.

A reporter from Sina Weibo stepped forward, looked at Fang Ziheng with a smile on his face, and asked in a confident voice, "Director Fang, based on your judgment of the market, do you have any forecast for the total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow"?"

As soon as this question came out, the reporters' eyes lit up and they held their breath for an instant.

Good question!

Judging by Fang Ziheng's posture today, it is estimated that he is planning to let go for a few runs, adding some firewood to the New Year's Eve stalls that have lasted for more than a month.

"10 billion!"

A clear voice sounded, like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the reporters.

Not waiting for them to respond.

Fang Ziheng raised his arm, raised a finger, and said with a confident and indifferent smile: "The Four Famous Catchmen has successfully broken through [-] million. I only have one goal for the total box office of "Edge of Tomorrow", which is to break through one billion and become The first billion-level domestic film!"

Three "billion" shouted out in a row, not to mention the reporters, even Liu Ye and others who were stable just now were also shocked.

I have to post!
Billion!

We got it wrong, or the director is crazy!

Deng Chao and Hu Jun looked astonished at first, and then frantically gave Fang Ziheng a wink, telling him to put it away and not to pierce the cowhide.

Liu Qianqian breathed lightly, Danfeng's eyes blinked, her bright pupils were radiant, and countless little stars appeared.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Miss Sister doesn't think Fang Ziheng is bragging.

In her view, this is a kind of strong confidence, a kind of hope and expectation for the films she directs.

boom..
After a short period of silence, the interview scene was completely boiling.

The reporters were excited.

A billion!
"Four Famous Catchers" was so popular at the beginning, and its reputation was so strong, it barely broke 8 million in the mainland market.

Whether Feng Pants, Jiang Min, or even Lao Mouzi, Chen Daren, Xu Laoguai and others, the slogan they shouted was only 8 million, and they took "Four Famous Catchers" as their pursuit target.

Today, the youngest Chinese-speaking commercial director actually broke the stereotypes and shouted the slogan of one billion.

amazing!
The reporters were very excited and shouted in their hearts!
They are not people in the film industry, nor are they celebrities who have scruples in the entertainment industry.

They are the media and the entertainment media, and what they like most is the popularity of news and hot spots of information.

Regardless of whether Fang Ziheng is bragging or not, they are very satisfied with just this attitude of not rejecting anyone who comes and opening his mouth to shoot.

Loved it.

The reporters beamed, held up the microphone and handed it over, scrambling to ask questions.

This time, they couldn't care less about being prudent, and took advantage of Fang Ziheng's good mood today, so they hurriedly asked a few more explosive questions.

Fang Ziheng didn't let them down either, and vowed to shout out the slogan of competing for the championship of the Lunar New Year file and breaking the box office record of "Avatar" in the mainland.

Billion!

One billion is nothing, I want to regain the box office champion of mainland film history!
After the first pass, Fang Ziheng was satisfied, and led the creative team with a nervous look to the next publicity point.

A group of media reporters with flushed faces were left in a trance.

Wait until Fang Ziheng and his car go away.

A reporter came back to his senses, touched his chin, and looked at his colleagues with a puzzled expression: "What did Fang Ziheng say just now?"

"Break the gross box office record of "Avatar"!"

evening.

Fang Ziheng finished the promotion just in time for the evening news at six o'clock, and returned to the duplex building with Liu Qianqian.

Concubine Lin, Andy, Zeng Li, and Song Yi came and agreed to come to his house to wait for the box office on the first day.

bark..
The sound of frying fish came from the kitchen. Lin Feifei, Andy, and Zeng Li were cooking, and the remaining three were waiting to be fed on the sofa in the living room.

Fang Ziyi was lying on the side sofa, holding the remote control and pressing it continuously.

On the ultra-wide-screen LCD TV, 25 satellite TV stations are broadcasting the evening news of their respective provinces and cities.

Imperial TV.

After the introduction of major events in the first 10 minutes, the camera turned to the live news room.

A young and dignified young lady appeared gracefully in the picture.

"Early this morning, the sci-fi war blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" directed by the famous director Fang Ziheng had its world premiere.

The film was filmed with the full support of the military. The film tells the story of aliens invading the earth. Countries in the world are unable to resist, and all six continents except Asia are reduced to ruins.

The Chinese soldiers are brave and invincible, and they regard death as home. With the help of the hero's infinite reset ability, they repel the aliens again and again, and finally wipe out the aliens who invaded the earth. "

Following the introduction of the hostess, scenes of movie scenes appeared on the TV.

Countless buildings on six continents were bombed, and the south of the Changjiang River was occupied. Huaguo's millions of troops crossed the Yangtze River once and the East China Sea twice, launching a firepower and desperate charge against aliens.

Fang Ziheng sat up straight and watched the TV with a smile on his face.

With the assistance of 25 satellite TVs, no matter how much the first-day box office has today, tomorrow will be the beginning of "Edge of Tomorrow".

On the long sofa in front of them, Liu Qianqian and Song Yi also stopped biting their ears, obediently crossed their beautiful legs, and watched the promotional screen on the TV with You Rongyan.

Song Yi took a light breath, and looked a little envious, envious of her little sister Liu Qianqian being able to play the heroine of the movie.

Since she starred in one of the heroines of "The Unknown", she only played the third female lead in "Youth Campus", which was released during the Spring Festival this year.

The first female is Da Tiantian, and the second female is Yang Xuejian.

In addition, she played the leading role in TV dramas.

But she was just envious, not disappointed or jealous.

One is that Liu Qianqian is very nice, and we are good friends with her.

Two!

Of course it's her own business.

"You Who Came from the Stars" started broadcasting, and Hengyu Media sold it to Zhedong Satellite TV for 280 million episodes.

As soon as it started broadcasting, it received constant praise and the popularity soared. In just [-] episodes, it reached [-]% of the popularity of "Scary Step by Step" at the beginning of the year.

Although Fang Ziheng modified many bloody plots and intimate scenes, which did not reach the phenomenon-level popularity of the original drama, the refined "You Who Came from the Star" has a stronger reputation in terms of word-of-mouth. degree continues to increase.

After the first broadcast is over and the second round is broadcasted, the two of them can at least become the popular Xiaosheng and the popular Xiaohua.

Especially Song Yi, the little girl does not seem to have the face of a big heroine, but her image and appearance are very likable, and she is popular with passers-by.

In just one week, her Weibo fans soared by more than 800 million, reaching 2000 million followers, only less than a few big flowers and four small female roles.

On the Internet, the little girl is very popular, and among the many big flowers and small flowers, she is the least attacked by the trolls.

There is no other reason, whether it is fans of big flowers or small flowers, or the propaganda departments of other film and television companies, they all regard Song Yi as an artist who does not have the face of a big heroine.

To put it simply, in the eyes of all the ambitious female stars in the entertainment industry, the little girl is the least threatening.

If fate hadn't met Fang Ziheng, who knows where to make soy sauce!
But Liu Qianqian is different, the young lady's face is a natural beauty.

movie heroine.

TV heroine.

The young lady is like the public enemy of all the female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Not to mention Yang Xuejian and Liu Shishi, who are staring at Liu Qianqian, even the four major Huadans also regard her as the opponent who can shake their status the most.

There are also female artists under Hengyu Media, except for Zeng Li, Song Yi, and Sun Li, Jiang Shuying, Wang Ou, Tang Yan, Li Qin, and Tang Yixin, who do not envy Liu Qianqian, secretly annoy Fang Ziheng for being partial.

Why do young ladies keep playing Fang Ziheng's heroines? They don't even have the qualifications to audition.

Not fair, so unfair!
A few days ago, Andy talked about this situation, saying that the florets under the banner were a little upset, thinking that Liu Qianqian was not one of them, and all the company's fat and water had flowed outside.

Fang Ziheng didn't care too much. The company continued to grow, and there would only be more artists under it in the future. It was inevitable that there would be times when they would compete for a certain project resource.

Besides, it's no wonder that women don't fight, especially female celebrities. Except for a very few true sisters who are like-minded, there are a lot of female celebrities who are not rivals.

Just tear it up, it's healthier to tear it up.

For Fang Ziheng, as long as he doesn't go out of line, he doesn't care.

As long as the company's female artists are strong and their image and acting skills are suitable, he certainly doesn't mind using them as heroines.

Although he likes Liu Qianqian, he didn't expect to use her as the heroine in every movie he made.

Miss Sister's acting skills, many roles can't stand up!
"It's dinner time!"

The kitchen door was opened.

Holding a plate of dishes, Zeng Li smiled and waved to Fang Ziheng and the others.

"Ou has eaten!"

Liu Qianqian responded positively, slipped off the sofa with her slender waist straightened, and went into the kitchen to help in her pink warm slippers.

Fang Ziheng pressed the remote control to switch to CCTV-3, and smiled at Song Yi: "Tiezi, has the crew been looking for you recently?"

"Yes, they are all urban beauties, and I can't even handle them."

Song Yi smiled sweetly, stood up, and stared at Fang Ziheng with burning eyes.

In the bright and quiet eyes, there is a trace of affection, like a pool of spring water, today people are tempted,

Gee
Many are missing, the little girl is okay, she dares to tease herself with her eyes.

The corners of Fang Ziheng's mouth turned up, and he said with a smile: "Eat first, come to my study later, there is a script that suits you."

"Um"

The little girl let out a light 'um', pretending not to understand, and ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

When Fang Ziheng and Mei were having dinner together, the evening news's report on "Edge of Tomorrow" aroused huge repercussions from the outside world.

There are eight hot searches on Weibo, and three of them are titled "Edge of Tomorrow" boosted by evening news.

The first-day box office for Edge of Tomorrow, two title forums.

One title discusses the plot of the movie, and the other title is Fang Ziheng's interview today, shouting the slogan of the first day's box office and the total box office.

The last title belongs exclusively to Liu Qianqian's acting skills and demeanor in the movie.

The major entertainment platforms have also gone crazy. With the three publishers of Hengyu, China Film, and Bona continuing to spend money, soft articles fly to every corner of the Internet like snowflakes.

TV, Internet, offline, all-round, regional coverage, coupled with today's movie-watching popularity, the popularity of "Edge of Tomorrow" has once again reached two levels.

How to stabilize this popularity and turn it into visible income depends on the first-day box office released in the early hours of tonight.

At this time, it happened to be a small New Year's Day holiday, and all parts of the country were on holiday.

The higher the box office on the first day, the heat generated by today's publicity will bring immeasurable benefits to the box office trend in the next few days.

In the face of the menacing "Edge of Tomorrow", the major film and television companies that have been paying attention to the movie have also fallen into sleeplessness tonight.

Especially the several movies released at the same time, all panicked and moved.

A four-star hotel in the imperial capital.

The main creative team of "Let the Bullets Fly" finished the national promotion, returned to the imperial capital to recuperate, and prepared to fly to Hong Kong Island to complete the last promotion in two days.

In the luxury suite of the hotel, Jiang Wen was still smoking a cigarette, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the night view.

Behind him, Fa Ge, Liu Jialing, Chen Kun, and Jiang Min's assistant were still playing mahjong.

Uncle Ge is missing!
"If You Are the One 2" is also currently in theaters. Uncle Ge left the team of "Let the Bullets Fly" a week ago and reported to Feng Pants.

It has been a full 12 days since "Let the Bullets Fly" was released on December 10. Although the movie did not show a phenomenal burst, it has also made steady progress and reached the 23 million mark.

In the previous life, the film achieved a score of 6.7 million and won the 2011 box office champion.

In this life, the film market is relatively bigger and hotter. If "Edge of Tomorrow" hadn't turned out and snatched up many films, "Let the Bullets Fly" might have gone higher and further.

Calculated based on 35 to 40 days for a movie to be released, "Let the Bullets Fly" has no hope of 8 million, and can only break through 7 million.

Jiang Min exhaled a puff of thick smoke, narrowed her eyes, and stared fixedly at the neon night scene outside the window.

He is waiting.

Waiting for the first day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow".

Whether "Let the Bullets Fly" can win the Lunar New Year box office champion is the critical moment in the early hours of tonight.

This moment comes from that powerful opponent, from the sci-fi blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow".

at the same time.

In a high-end hotel in Shanghai.

Feng Pants stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the suite, smoking a cigarette, his brows furrowed, revealing a trace of exhaustion and helplessness.

"If You Are the One" had a box office of 3400 million on the first day, and went even further on the second day, hitting 4200 million in a single day.

Feng Pants was very happy at first, but he was very unhappy.

Not only did he complete Huayi's task, and produced a money-making movie, but he also added private goods to create a movie that perfectly combines business and art.

With this mentality in mind, these days he worked hard on publicity, led the main film creators to complete the publicity of the imperial capital as quickly as possible, and then flew directly to the magic capital, a big ticket warehouse city.

At present, "If You Are the One 2" has been released for ten days, with a box office of 1.7 million in the first week, and did not break through the 2 million barrier, which is weaker than "Let the Bullets Fly".

The time for the second week has not yet arrived, and depending on the situation, it will not be able to catch up with the data of the first week.

At this time, Feng Pants, completely lost the complacency at the beginning of the film's premiere, and fell into deep worry.

The release of "Edge of Tomorrow" can be said to be the most severe squeeze on "If You Are the One 2".

You know, after a movie is released, the first half month is the best time to grab the box office.

After missing the first half month, even if the movie's reputation is strong, I can only sigh with regret, watching the single-day box office worsen day by day.

"If You Are the One" is half a month away from its release, and there are still five days before it hits "Edge of Tomorrow" this vicious tiger. Thinking about it makes people feel numb.

After watching the evening news just now, Feng Trousers called Wang Zhonglei, asking Huayi to strengthen the promotion of the movie, and must hold on for the last five days.

Wang Zhonglei agreed immediately, and called his eldest brother Wang Zhongjun, thinking to continue to follow suit, and then use satellite TV news to boost.

This proposal was rejected by Wang Zhongjun, the reason is very simple, "If You Are the One 2" does not have enough reputation, and there are faint voices of bad-mouthing in the past two days.

Satellite TV news is not another time period, it is impossible to promote a movie with a declining reputation for a mere 200 million.

And it was too late, "Edge of Tomorrow" was already blocked at the door, and it was too late to increase the popularity of Jushi publicity.

You can only spend money to control reviews and stabilize the current propaganda position!

Time passed, and before I knew it, it was early morning.

Feng Pants, Uncle Ge and the others finished their supper and relaxed in the hotel before returning to their room alone.

No matter how the female artist who went upstairs with him winked, he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to eat seafood.

The first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is about to come out, and this data will directly affect the subsequent theater lineup.

This morning, the major domestic theaters have completed the adjustment of the film schedule.

"Edge of Tomorrow" monopolizes an average of 65% of the national theater lineup, "If You Are the One" 20%, "Let the Bullets Fly" 10%, and the remaining 5% belongs to other films released at the same time.

This is not over yet, if "Edge of Tomorrow" really hits the box office on the first day, it will squeeze more film schedules.

In fact, there is no need to explode too much. With the [-] o'clock news in the evening, the theaters will definitely increase the lineup of "Edge of Tomorrow" in the next two days.

Feng Pants has a deep understanding of this point.

The summer file "Four Famous Catch" and "Great Earthquake" are played in this way, almost killing the No.3 "Painted Skin".

After entering the bedroom, Feng Pants was the first to turn on the computer to see if Huayi's promotion had caught up.

Drip
Drip
After one o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone on the computer desk rang suddenly.

Feng Pants picked up the phone, quickly swiped open the smart screen, and with a touch of luck, opened the text message that popped up on the screen with his middle finger.

"Edge of Tomorrow" box office on the first day, 5
"Fuck!"

Seeing the first number, Feng Pants subconsciously swears, staring at the phone with a bull's eye.

5180 million!
The first-day box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" actually directly broke through the 5000 million limit and came to 5180 million!
How can it be?

This is impossible!

Feng Pants didn't believe it, so he looked at the box office data and the source of the text message again.

a long time!

Feng Pants took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.

Ugh.
His body softened, and he slumped on the chair holding the phone, his eyes were dull, and he still had an expression of disbelief.
