I'm not just a director

Chapter 222 Breaking [-] million!

The ratings of "News Network" are very high.

How high?
In Huaxia, whether you are in a big city or a remote mountain village.

Whether you use an old-fashioned antenna or a satellite TV receiver (commonly known as a small pot cover), you can see CCTV1 channel.

Even if you don't watch CCTV1, every local station will broadcast CCTV's "News Network" at seven o'clock in the evening.

It may be limited by age, education level, and favorite TV content. Many people do not like to watch serious news programs like "News Network".

But the "Weather Forecast" after it must be the pinnacle of viewing by the whole people.

"Qiangzi, it's almost 07:30, don't forget to read the "Weather Forecast". Your dad is going on a long trip tomorrow to see what the weather is like."

At home, a high school student about fifteen or sixteen years old is watching the TV series "Marry the Right Man on the Wrong Sedan Chair".

This TV series was released in 2000, and it attracted many people's attention once it was released.

This kind of erratic but destined love light comedy was very popular with people at that time.

Even though two years have passed, there are still local stations that have bought the rights to broadcast.

Whether it should be said or not, Teacher Sha Yi's appearance at that time was really resistant.

Compared with the later period of "Golden Bell Covered Iron Shirt" and "Ying Smashed the Door, Daddy", he was at least two more handsome than Bai Zhantang.

"Understood, it's still early."

Qiangzi replied dissatisfied.

"Weather forecast, weather forecast, I read this every day, it's just random weather forecast, it's not accurate at all!"

Qiangzi muttered softly.

Maybe the mother outside the house heard him muttering, she walked in and changed the channel directly.

"Mom, what are you doing? The "Weather Forecast" hasn't arrived yet, and it's still showing the news."

Qiangzi shouted unwillingly.

"Wait in advance! I'll let you watch the "Weather Forecast" and you'll miss it every time!"

Mom sat on the sofa and said.

"Oh, I'll just watch a TV series for a while. As soon as it's 07:30, I'll tune the channel right away. Do you trust me?"

Qiangzi said with a depressed face.

"No, after reading the weather forecast, look at it however you like!"

Mom said without a doubt.

"……Fine."

Seeing that there was no hope of seizing the remote control, Qiangzi had no choice but to wait aside.

"Recently, the domestic sci-fi blockbuster "Source Code" is currently in theaters.

The movie tells that in the future, an officer on a mission wakes up from the train to Shanghai...

He gave full play to the true qualities of a soldier who is not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and fought against the evil forces to the end..."

sci-fi movie?
The sound of the news broadcast from the TV immediately attracted Qiang Zi's attention.

The screen on the TV kept flashing the screen of the movie in "Source Code".

"This movie is too cool!"

Qiangzi looked at the movie screen obsessively and sighed.

"Jiang Pei'an, this name sounds familiar."

As if suddenly remembering something, Qiangzi immediately said:
"Mom, what was the name of the movie our family watched last year?"

"what movie?"

Mom looked at him puzzled.

"I just watched it during the Chinese New Year, a martial arts movie, the one from China to a foreign country?"

"Oh, I remembered, it's the man who saved his daughter? Yu, Yu Rongguang played it, it seems to be called a hurricane..."

""Taken"!"

"The movie shown in the news was also made by that director. Mom, I want to see this movie tomorrow."

Qiangzi said suddenly.

Mom glanced at him and said:
"Watch any movie, just study hard at home, don't think about what you have all day long."

"Our teacher said that high school should combine work and rest. Relaxing your mind can improve your learning efficiency, and you can learn things by watching movies."

"What can I learn from watching movies? Learn to fight or kill or learn to fall in love?"

Mom said disdainfully.

"Uh, learn, learn..."

Just when Qiangzi was still trying to quibble, the TV suddenly switched to Jiang Pei'an's picture.

"...With the development of the film and television industry, the special effects industry needs a large number of high-end technical talents.

Major colleges and universities have also set up corresponding majors to cultivate people who know how to use various visual effects and skills.

Such as special lighting effects, color adjustments, special effects shots, etc., to achieve the desired effects in movies or TV works..."

"Learning special effects for film and television, mom, I'm very interested in this, and I want to learn this when I go to college."

Qiangzi nonsense.

"You go to university first, then you can talk about it. Think so far."

Mom said casually.

"Mom, I haven't watched a movie for a long time, last time you said that one of my wishes would be fulfilled if I got into the top [-] in the grade?

I am ranked 38 this time, you haven't cashed in the reward yet, I think it over, my wish is to watch this movie tomorrow. "

Qiangzi said directly.

"Okay, I got it. I've said it eight hundred times. The money is in the drawer. You can go and see it tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you mom!"

"Don't talk nonsense, read the weather forecast!"

"Order!"

……

The most direct effect brought by Jiang Pei'an was that the box office of "Source Code" soared the next day.

Since the next day was a weekend, the single-day box office directly reached 1 million.

"It's a worthwhile trip, it's really a worthwhile trip, the movie is really good!"

"I personally think that there is really no need to add love elements to a sci-fi movie, it's superfluous."

"My opinion is quite the opposite, love is really the highlight of this movie.

Due to the 8-minute setting of the whole movie, the rhythm pulls people forward.

But the right love is to calm the mood of the audience, and the relaxation is very well grasped! "

The movie theaters were full of people. Since there were not many movies released in January, almost all the movies in the theaters were "Source Code".

The cinema owner looked cheerfully at the packed theaters.

As we all know, movie tickets do not make money, but selling popcorn in movie theaters is the big money maker.

After all, watching movies is a kind of leisure behavior, and a bucket of popcorn will bring a better viewing experience to the audience.

When you relax, have some snacks or cola, which will make you more physically and mentally happy.

In the commodity positioning of movie theaters, movie tickets are the main product, and popcorn has gradually become a by-product.

It's no surprise that by-products tend to be more profitable.

Most movie theaters have also played the trick of lowering the price of movie tickets and raising the price of popcorn.

If a new movie is released in many movie theaters at the same time.

Most users will definitely choose to watch with a lower ticket price.

In this way, the price of popcorn is higher, which brings higher income to itself.

Unless you choose a movie theater to watch movies based on the price of popcorn.

As long as you are tricked into the movie theater, the merchants can empty you with popcorn, cola, milk tea and other commodities.

You might say that you never eat popcorn when you watch movies, but just because you don’t eat it doesn’t mean your girlfriend doesn’t eat it.

If you don't eat it, others will too.

……

It was hot offline, and the discussion online was also extremely high.

"Have you watched all of yesterday's? Director Jiang actually appeared in it!"

"Damn it, Director Jiang is waiting for you, is this an officially recognized man?"

"To be honest, when I saw Director Jiang yesterday, I thought I was watching the wrong channel. I never expected it!"

"Ah, I didn't see it, who would have thought of it, please replay it!"

"Upstairs, not only Director Jiang, but the movie channel also has an interview segment, which is more comprehensive and detailed, you can pay attention to it."

While netizens were discussing enthusiastically, many media also followed up the news.

From the perspective of the media, it focuses more on CCTV’s propaganda angle, starting from the film and television special effects industry:

""Jiang Pei'an was interviewed by CCTV and talked about the development of the film and television special effects industry."

""Jiang Pei'an talks about film and television special effects""

""We need more excellent and high-end film and television talents, how to cultivate special effects talents has become the number one issue at the moment""

But no matter from which angle it is reported, the popularity of "Source Code" has really been fired.

Of course, with the expansion of marketing, various speeches began to appear.

"First of all, this film is not a hard sci-fi film, and the sci-fi films I like are more hard.

However, "Source Code" looked at the name to play with the concept of computers, but in the end it pulled out two sentences about quantum mechanics, and it took 8 minutes to complete the concept.

Although it is a bit ridiculous, it is a commercial science fiction film after all, and it has to make money.

But when it comes to publicity, it insists on relying on science fiction. To be honest, I don't like it. "

"Sci-fi has to respect reality, but this movie is absolutely disappointing and has no scientific basis.

After checking, this director came from a grassroots background, and it was really not easy to get to this point.

But it is still recommended that the director strengthen his own study. It is always right to read more books and learn more. "

"I came here because of the reputation, I was looking forward to Director Feng's "The Biggest Man" before, and I really like his Feng's humor.

In the end, I was so scared by this movie that it was withdrawn. Later, I saw the name of this movie from "News Network".

If you take the time to come and have a look, I won't write about the interpretation of the plot. I can only say that it is full of flaws and not worth the fare. "

"Stupid movie, I don't understand it at all!"

"Day... refund the money!"

Some people like it and some people scold it, even if everyone loves RMB, some people don't like it.

This is a very normal thing.

During the heated discussion on the Internet, China Film Group suddenly announced something.

The box office of "Source Code" broke through [-] million!

For a time, the entire industry was shocked.

The first film in China to exceed [-] million yuan was Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple".

According to relevant information, at that time, the movie "Shaolin Temple" sold 1.6 million at the box office at a ticket price of [-] cents!

It is said that at that time, many people lined up for a day and a night to enter the cinema in order to watch this movie.

Some people went to the cinema as many as ten times just to watch "Shaolin Temple".

Some teenagers also fell in love with martial arts because of this, and some even went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, which shows how popular this film was at that time.

This movie is still very popular even if it is taken out to watch now.

In just 9 months after the film was screened that year, the audience reached 2.7 million people.

And this is the number of viewers of one of the film specifications.

If we analyze from this point, we count the number of viewers of all specifications together.

The number of viewers of "Shaolin Temple" is at least over 4 million, which is still a reserved figure.

Of course, the film was released for nine months, which is beyond the release time limit of many films today.

It was filmed in 82 by Chung Yuan Film Production Company in Hong Kong Province.

At that time, Hong Kong Province had not yet returned to China, and it was not easy to achieve such results in such a complicated political environment.

18 years after "Shaolin Temple" was released, "Life and Death" was released.

With a box office of 1.2 million yuan, it broke the 5-year-old box office record of "Red Fan District" and became the new box office champion of Chinese films.

At the same time, this is also the first Chinese-language movie in Huaxia with a box office of over [-] million since official box office statistics were available.

This is a "phenomenal" movie that promotes the main theme of "anti-corruption and honesty".

Followed by Jiang Pei'an's "Source Code".

It can be said that "Source Code" surpassed [-] million yuan, which directly made Jiang Pei'an the most eye-catching presence among the directors.

In a sense, "Source Code" is the first domestic box office movie to exceed [-] million!
This is too exaggerated, and directly aspires to the No.1 domestic director!
And with "Source Code" exceeding [-] million, Jiang Pei'an's cell phone was blown up.

"Director Jiang, congratulations!"

"I knew that Director Jiang would definitely do it!"

"Pei'an, come out and have dinner together when you are free!"

……

Those who know, those who don't know, all call to congratulate.

I don't know where the group got his contact information.

Jiang Pei'an directly chose to shut down the phone to avoid leisure, but his mood was very agitated.

This is the first commercial film in China to exceed [-] million yuan!
In later generations, watching a movie with a box office of over [-] million is as easy as drinking water.

But now, more than 20 years ago, it is really not easy!
At the beginning of 2002, neither the movie-watching awareness of the public nor the construction of theaters could be compared with 20 years later.

Now that the box office has exceeded [-] million, it is definitely an achievement recorded in film and television, which makes Jiang Pei'an not excited.

……

Jiang Pei'an, who was hiding from leisure and stealing pleasure, was directly taken to Han Shanping's office by Gao Chengsheng.

"Hehe, Pei'an, congratulations."

Han Shanping's face was full of happiness, and he patted Jiang Pei'an on the shoulder and said.

Jiang Pei'an smiled and said:
"It is also thanks to Director Han's strong support. If there is no CCTV's intervention in the promotion, it is estimated that breaking the [-] million will be a bit hanging."

Han Shanping waved his hand and said:
"Your movie is of high quality, and the audience is of course willing to buy it. This is your personal ability. If it is an ordinary movie, even if you give it a platform, there will be no improvement, or even a loss!"

Hearing this, Jiang Pei'an felt that Han Shanping was implicating a certain director, but he had no evidence.

"Pian, I'm going to hold a celebration party to celebrate our first film that has surpassed [-] million yuan. What do you think?"

Han Shanping asked with a smile.

Well, of course you have to show off your achievements.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometowns, such as traveling at night in brocade clothes.

Jiang Pei'an can understand Han Shanping's feelings very well. After all, under his sole leadership, China's first commercial film exceeding [-] million yuan was produced.

Speaking of utilitarianism, these are all political achievements!

"I don't have any questions. If I need to cooperate at that time, you can directly order Han Dong."

"Hehe, I don't dare to order you, the billionaire leader, casually now.

By the way, the overseas distribution and Hong Kong and provincial release of "Source Code" can also start. "

Han Shanping said the latter sentence to Gao Chengsheng.

"Being prepared all the time."
