I really don't want to be trending with big stars

Chapter 218 The Biggest Dark Horse in the Spring Festival
The gold content of the Golden Eagle Award is a bit higher than that of the Feitian Award.

Tang Wanqing won the Feitian Award for Best Actress last year, her fame increased greatly, and her career began to flourish.

But after all, there is still a gap from the first echelon.

But this year, when she successfully won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, she has successfully entered a new level and joined the ranks of top-tier artists.

The influence and popularity brought by the correspondence are also different.

Some of the commercial brands that Tang Wanqing worked with before were only domestic mass brands, but now her partners have also been upgraded.

Many foreign luxury goods and cosmetics stores have offered her cooperation intentions.

The endorsement fee is not calculated in millions, but directly in the tens of millions.

Even though Tang Wanqing has already rejected many business activities, her daily work is still full, and she flies to various cities every day.

Song Yi is starting to plan the film series.

After all, I was bragging in front of the media that I wanted to become a screenwriter with a box office of tens of billions.

So this year his goal is to make blockbuster movies during the Spring Festival.

For Song Yi, the field of film is a relatively unfamiliar field.

In his last life, he was only in the circle of film and television dramas and variety shows.

But this does not prevent him from knowing that movies and TV series are completely two concepts.

Although a movie is only about 1-2 hours long, the cost of filming is more than that of TV dramas. The production is slightly larger, and the investment can easily reach hundreds of millions.

Song Yi's first step now is to get the script of the movie done.

Because after announcing that he was going to make a movie, many screenwriters now came to the company to find him with their own scripts, and wanted him to invest in the script.

There are also some people who want to invest in Song Yi's movie script with money.

However, he handed over these matters to Qin Wen.

After some thought, he decided not to engage in large-scale productions at the beginning, but chose to make a big difference with a small one.

In his memory, the dark horse movie that is relatively clear is a movie that broke through the siege during the Spring Festival by relying on word of mouth, detonated the box office, and became a phenomenon-level movie, which was so popular beyond imagination.

It's called "Hello, Li Huanying".

This movie was the first time that Jia Ling, who is also a newcomer, directed and shot it, and it was a huge success.

Therefore, this is a relatively good stepping stone, and it is also the best choice for Song Yi to break into the film market.

After making a decision, Song Yi began to write the script.

There is still a gap between movie scripts and TV drama scripts, so when creating, he hired a professional movie screenwriter to participate in the whole process.

In the end, it took a month for Song Yi to grind out the script.

Then you have to start looking for a professional director.

To be on the safe side this time, Song Yi originally wanted to find director Zhang Jianzhong to shoot, but he didn't have a schedule at all.

Fortunately, the other party introduced himself to a good young director.

Then there is the search for actors.

Because this is a warm comedy movie, the search for actors is actually quite demanding.

After recruiting and auditioning a series of comedians, the crew finally decided on the role.

Everything was ready, on October 10th, after the National Day, Song Yi announced the launch.

After that, Song Yi was almost stationed on the set.

He personally stared at every shot, and kept shooting every shot that did not meet his requirements.

In a swimming scene in the film, the male protagonist jumped into the lake over and over again, and a wrestling scene took two days to shoot and worked [-] times before meeting Song Yi's requirements.

Also, in order to film a scene of gnawing buns, the crew prepared more than 100 buns, and the actors ate more than 20 buns abruptly but still had no complaints;

In order to film a scene where a mother and daughter talk heart-to-heart in a tavern, Song Yi directly asked the actress to serve with real wine.

Song Yi said the most on the set: This is a movie that relies on true feelings to impress the audience, so I want you to feel that pure emotion in every shot.

Under such high demands, the play finally announced its completion in early December and completed all filming.

It took more than a month of editing, and the sample was finally submitted for review.

During this period, Song Tang Entertainment Co., Ltd. is also carrying out preliminary publicity according to the plan.

On December 12, the film released the "What kind of family is this" trailer.

On December 12, the film released the "all excellent" posters of the three leading actors.

On December 12, the film released the "Where Are We Going, Dad" special.

On December 12, the film released the MV for the promotion song "Little Girl Under the Street Lamp".

On January 1, the film released the "12 Commemoration" version of the poster.

On January 1, the film released the "I Can Make You Happier" version of the trailer.

At the same time as the promotion, the company's operation department is also contacting various theaters to arrange the schedule and the number of films.

This is a troublesome matter, because there are only so many time slots for the Spring Festival, and every family wants to have more movies for themselves.

So if you want to arrange more films, you must work hard.

Fortunately, Qin Wen is good at this kind of work. In the face of the siege of several other Spring Festival movies, Song Yi's movie still got a not too bad schedule.

In the end, the film was scheduled for New Year's Day.

People on the Internet are not too optimistic about Song Yi's comedy film with a female perspective as the theme, thinking that he may hit a wall.

Although he has suddenly emerged in the field of TV dramas, and the other people he killed have no power to fight back, but this is a movie.

His opponents are also some big directors and gold medal screenwriters who are deeply involved in the film market.

Everyone knows more about the market than Song Yi.

And depending on the script investment, the promotional films of several other companies are all big productions that claim to be hundreds of millions, while Song Yi's movie only cost about 5000 million.

Tang Wanqing was actually a little worried about Song Yi this time.

She wasn't worried that Song Yi would lose money, she was worried that Song Yi's film performance this time was not good enough, which would have a bad influence on him.

You know, Song Yi has always been an excellent existence since his debut.

If he suddenly stumbles in the film market this time, he will definitely be laughed at by competitors, and he will even diss him with the previous "[-] billion box office screenwriter".

So in her spare time, she is also helping to promote new movies online.

Facing Tang Wanqing's worry, Song Yi comforted him, "Don't worry, I will impress those people this time. When everyone finishes their tricks, my sincerity will be like a knife, piercing through their encirclement."

"Well, I believe you."

As time goes by, it will soon be the time of the New Year.

On February 2, at 15 o'clock in the evening on the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Hello, Li Huanying" was officially released in major theaters.

In order to support her son, after eating at home, Zhou Xiuwen suggested that the family go to the movies.

So, Song Yunfei and Zhou Xiuwen, who hadn't been to a movie theater for many years, dragged their son along, and the family of three watched Song Yi's debut novel.

In the movie theater, Zhou Xiuwen, as a mother, was so moved that she cried after watching her son's movie.

Seeing this, Song Yunfei teased his son: "Look at what movie you made, it's about Chinese New Year, it made your mother so sad.

I haven't seen her cry in years. "

"Uh" Song Yi.

Zhou Xiuwen turned her head and glared at her husband, and said on behalf of her son, "Shut up, I'm happy and crying because of emotion.

Son, don't listen to your father, your movie is very good, much better than those movies about fighting and killing.

In this play, I saw the greatness of a mother and the selfless love that a parent has for her children.

You are a warm movie.

So son, come on, your drama will definitely be liked by everyone. "

"Thank you mom."

While the three of them were chatting, Tang Wanqing came over via video and said, "Song Yi, you made my mother and I cry.

So touching. "

In order to have a sense of surprise, Tang Wanqing also watched this movie for the first time tonight.

"Hahaha it's okay, girl Wanqing."

Zhou Xiuwen answered the phone and said with a smile, "Tell your mother that I cried just now."

"It's all Song Yi's fault for making such a touching movie."

Tang Wanqing whispered: "The audience who came out of the movie with me just now all praised the movie as beautiful and touching. Many people left the hall and were still talking about it. The response was very good."

"We are here too."

Zhou Xiuwen smiled and said, "Also, Wanqing, you and your mother remember to come to our house for dinner tomorrow, you know?"

"OK, all right."

Tang Wanqing suddenly said: "Auntie, I'm going to hang up, I seem to be recognized by someone, now there are many people around, I'm going to slip."

"Okay, stay safe."

"Auntie, happy new year."

"Happy New Year."

As Tang Wanqing said, when everyone was playing tricks, Song Yi's movie, with its true feelings, made everyone laugh with tears and gained a good reputation.

After watching it, they all strongly recommend their relatives and friends to watch it.

On the first day, the number of films scheduled for major theaters increased.

As of 13:59 the next day, the box office of the film exceeded RMB 5 million.

It temporarily ranks first in the box office of all Spring Festival movies and has become the biggest dark horse.

This made the faces of several other companies look ugly.

Tang Wanqing saw this data at home, jumped up excitedly with her arms around Song Yi's neck, and kissed him on the cheek.

"My husband is really the best!"

But Song Yi knew that this was only the beginning, and it had just begun to exert its full strength.

On February 2, the film's box office directly exceeded 18 billion yuan in the 7 days it was released, becoming the 30th film in the country's film history to break 12 billion at the box office, and continued to dominate the box office.

And Song Yi also became the new screenwriter with the highest box office in the country's film history with this film.

Tang Wanqing went directly to Weibo, showing off her boyfriend's great achievements.

2月21日，该片上映第10天累计票房突破40亿人民币，成为全国影史第六部票房破40亿元的电影。

Tang Wanqing was already numb.

40 billion, what is this concept?
From her debut to the present, she has not witnessed a movie that surpassed this box office.

Now, she witnessed the miracle.

On March 3, the film continued to be popular, and many people watched it 6 times and 2 times.

On the 23rd day of its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 50 billion yuan, becoming the third film in the national film history to break 50 billion yuan.

On March 3, the box office of the film was 10 million US dollars (about 7.83 billion yuan), ranking among the top 51 single-film box office rankings in the world.

On March 3, the cumulative box office of the film was nearly 12 million U.S. dollars, ranking among the top 8 box office in global film history.

Finally, as of April 4, the cumulative box office of the film exceeded 10 billion yuan on the 57th day of its release.

At the beginning Song Yi teased himself that he wanted to achieve the achievement of "a screenwriter with a box office of tens of billions". Everyone thought he was drifting and bragging.

During the Spring Festival, everyone thought that his new movie would hit a wall and make him feel ashamed.

The results of it?
With minimal investment, it has become the biggest dark horse this year, creating a jaw-dropping box office record.

The achievement of "a screenwriter with a box office of tens of billions" was cut in half with only one movie.

If there is no accident, this year, if he makes a few more movies casually, he may be able to achieve this achievement.

What many people can't achieve in a lifetime, he accomplished in just one year.

Professionals on the Internet also analyzed why Song Yi's movie was so successful.

As a newcomer, he gave up what he was not good at and specialized in emotion.

In today's era of material desires and indifference, he touched everyone with such a warm movie and aroused everyone's love for their parents.

It also reminds everyone of the love their parents gave them.

Critics have said this about the film.

[The most important factor for the film's success is that true feelings outweigh routines. The author's sincere remembrance of his mother is an overall victory of "her perspective" or "her economy". 】

The success of this movie also made Chen Ying very happy.

Because of the financial figures, it looks too good.

The benefits of this drama can be said to be a miracle.

The company invested less than 50 million yuan in the filming of this drama, plus publicity, etc., but it ended up with a box office of more than [-] billion yuan.

This yield has doubled by 50 times!
Not only that, the projects that Qin Wen invested in before have also started to make profits one after another. Except for a very few of the more than 30 projects invested in the early stage, most of them have made money.

The overall scale of the company has also expanded a lot, and it has successfully squeezed into the top ten entertainment company echelons in the country.

And Song Yi continued to expand his achievements in the film industry.

What he wants now is to quickly accumulate cash, so the scripts he chooses are all low-investment, high-return movies.

After the Chinese New Year film became an instant success, he continued to use the nonsensical and funny model to make the commercial movie "Crazy Stone".

Then, under everyone's amazed eyes, the film earned a box office record of one billion with an investment of 300 million.

Everyone has been amazed at his ability to write scripts, and gave you a nickname for him, "God's Hand".

Because the script written by him can always create miracles.

Just when everyone thought he would take advantage of the victory and quickly complete his achievement of "screenwriter with a million box office", he suddenly stopped creating movies.

At the invitation of Jiangsu Satellite TV, he went to create a new variety show.
