If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 48
After the reporter asked the film's main creative team on stage, he asked the audience on stage.

After all, there are big shots in the movie industry among the audience.

"Director Zhang, do you think "A World Without Thieves" can match your "Hero" to achieve excellent results in the mainland?" The reporter from the film newspaper began to ask Zhang Yingmou.

"A World Without Thieves has already been watched in advance, and it is an excellent commercial film." Zhang Yingmou answered the reporter's question, "As for whether it can match the performance of "Hero", it depends on how much the audience likes this film. .”

"Of course I hope that "A World Without Thieves" will achieve better results. Records are used to break. Only when the box office hits new highs repeatedly can more capital be attracted to the film market."

"Invest more money in films, and in this way, we directors can create better works, and have greater confidence to wrestle with directors in Europe and the United States."

Zhang Yingmou has always wanted to catch up with famous European and American directors.

The movie "Hero" was nominated for the 75th Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year. At that time, it was felt that "Hero" would definitely win.

But in the end lost to "Nowhere From Home".

This made Zhang Yingmou hold a sigh of relief, and planned to use the current production of "House of Flying Daggers" to compete for the Oscar again.

Lu Chen looked at Zhang Yingmou and expressed his gratitude. The national director's praise of "A World Without Thieves" is very important, and it will allow more people to enter the cinema to watch "A World Without Thieves".

"Liu Yifei, I heard that this time, you and Director Lu are acting as a couple again in "A World Without Thieves." The reporter from the Peking Weekly News began to ask Liu Yifei, "This is your first time acting in a movie, as the lead actress. Do you think your performance is good enough to be the lead actress in a movie?"

Liu Yifei didn't expect that the reporter would ask herself, she was taken aback for a moment, and she responded generously: "Although I haven't acted in a movie, I have experience in acting. With my hard work and Director Lu's guidance, I think I can competent."

Surely nothing can be said against the movie right now.

The reporter from Peking Weekly asked Liu Shishi again, "Before you participated in the movie, you were just a ballet dancer without any acting experience. It was the first time you were the second female lead in a movie, and you even played against Teacher Ge You. Do you think you are competent?" ?"

Lu Chen found that these reporters were asking more and more tricky questions. He missed the reporters in his previous life and gave them a big red envelope. of.

When Liu Shishi was asked, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Ge You smiled and took over the words, "I think Ms. Liu Shishi did a good job in the role of 'Xiaoye' in the play."

The reporters in the audience continued to ask questions.

The entire interview session lasted about 40 minutes.

Next is the main event.

"A World Without Thieves" officially released.

……

The next day, Rose Garden Villa
"Xiao Chen, would you like me to ask about the data of the movie?" Liu Ruyu saw Lu Chen, who had been watching TV at home since breakfast in the morning, and had no plans to go out.

They all got up in a hurry.

"A World Without Thieves" has been released.

The data on the first day can roughly guess the final box office of the movie.

"Auntie, no need." Lu Chen wanted to ask about the data, but he was afraid of failure. Even though he was a time traveler, he tried his best to shoot the movie, but the box office was voted by the audience, even the director of the world did not dare to guarantee it .

"Okay." Liu Ruyu felt that she was more anxious than Xiaochen. As the director and screenwriter of the movie, the movie was released, and she could still sit at home and watch TV. This state of mind is stable enough.

Then the doorbell rang.

The aunt at home went to open the door.

At the door is Wang Zhonglei from Huaying Brothers.

"Is Director Lu at home?" When Wang Zhonglei asked, he saw Lu Chen in the living room and hurried over, "Director Lu, this is the box office data for the first day of "A World Without Thieves."

Hand over a piece of A4 paper in your hand.

There are detailed box office data of "A World Without Thieves".

1893 in the Mainland.

Taiwan $640 million (approximately equal to about 140 million).

Xiangjiang 180 million Hong Kong dollars (about 160 million or so).

Lu Chen carefully looked at the detailed box office information above.

"The box office in the mainland has a chance to reach [-] million." Wang Zhonglei couldn't calm down his excitement when he said this. This time the investment is another big profit.

Investing in Director Lu's two works has made Huaying Brothers a huge profit. This year's profit must be particularly considerable. "For Baodao, it is estimated to have more than 6000 million Taiwan dollars, and for Xiangjiang, it is estimated to be around 600 million Hong Kong dollars."

"A World Without Thieves" has achieved good results in all three markets.

in the mainland market.

If you don’t count the 12 releases of “Hero” last year.

Then this year's box office champion must be "A World Without Thieves".

The same is true for the Baodao market, which should be the box office champion this year.

As for Xiangjiang, the final score of "A World Without Thieves" should be able to break into the top ten of the year.

Lu Chen is very satisfied with this result, and it is worthwhile to promote it so hard. Before the movie, he made another "Sword" to raise the popularity.

In the previous life, "A World Without Thieves" earned 500 million box office in the mainland, while Xiangjiang only made [-] million.

In fact, the box office performance of "A World Without Thieves" in the previous life was even better.

But met Master Xing.

In the mainland, "A World Without Thieves" was released first, and "Kung Fu" was launched in mainland theaters [-] days after its release.

As soon as "Kung Fu" was released, it stabilized at the top of "A World Without Thieves".

At that time, "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves", if the audience only chose one movie, most of them chose "Kung Fu".

In Xiangjiang, "A World Without Thieves" was even more crushed by "Kung Fu", only getting 500 million, while "Kung Fu" got more than 6000 million.

But this life.

Lu Chen shot "A World Without Thieves" more than a year in advance, avoiding "Kung Fu".

There were no big-budget movies during the same period.

Plus a lot of publicity.

The results are better than the previous life.

"Director Lu, this time, you can become famous and prove your ability to direct commercial films." Wang Zhonglei wanted to kiss Lu Chen, it was so awesome.

mainland movies
The first movie to exceed [-] million yuan was "Shaolin Temple".

Of course it was a different era.

Afterwards, the domestically produced film that exceeded [-] million was last year's "Hero".

Directly reach [-] million.

This is also called by the media to open the era of blockbuster movies and save the film market that has been sluggish.

What is certain at the moment is that "A World Without Thieves" will definitely exceed [-] million, and [-] million depends on the future box office trend, but the hope is very high.

If it really reaches [-] million.

It will definitely lead to changes in the film industry.

Let everyone see the potential of the mainland film market.

In recent years, the number of movie screens has increased slowly, and few new movie theaters have been opened.

And "Hero" and "A World Without Thieves" can be regarded as a shot in the arm for film practitioners, and also let capital see the potential of the film market.

At that time, more capital will flow into the film market.

And this is of course beneficial to Huaying Brothers. The market is bigger, and everyone can get more.

"I have to keep an eye on the post-production of "Crazy Stone"." Lu Chen got up, and had to go out to calm down. Hard work still paid off.

I have done too much preparation for "A World Without Thieves", but the results are still very good.

In the previous life, the mainland film market was indeed revitalized by "Hero".

In the next few years, an average of two domestic films broke [-] million each year.

Well-known domestic directors also have one after another film masterpieces exceeding [-] million yuan.

Of course, it is not uncommon for movies to exceed [-] million yuan after that, and the mainland movie market ushered in a big explosion.

"Director Lu, let me treat you to a drink. There is no rush for work." Wang Zhonglei also had to talk about his investment in "On the Journey". As for "Crazy Stone" invested by Datang Film and Television, it has already undergone post-production.

"Next time." Lu Chen said as he left the villa, and now he has to stare at "Crazy Stone", making sure that "A World Without Thieves" is released from theaters, and "Crazy Stone" can be picked up.

Taking advantage of the hot film market, we have to strike while the iron is hot.
