China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 39 First Day Box Office
In addition to the collective movie viewing of the Huying Group, the Huying Group of the radio and television system also gave away tickets, and many people came to Mango Channel to watch.

After all, He Fang is not just a film director anymore, now He Fang has been remembered by all Mango Channels, because the ratings of the latest episode of "The Voice of China" he planned and produced exceeded 1%, which seriously threatened "The Voice of China". Fast Girl".

So Mango Channel came to see how the movie made by this master variety show planner was.

After reading it, He Jiu discussed with Xie Na, Li Weijia, Li Xiang, and Wang Yuelun.

"He Fang really learned Hollywood's techniques. That's right. Back then, I wanted to go to Southern California to study film, but my friends suggested that I go to New York, saying that the artistic level there is better than that of the University of California. This is a typical Hollywood-style thriller. Whether it is from the script, the plot setting, or even the use of mirrors, lighting, colors, and atmosphere creation, it is very good. Very Hollywood."

Wang Yuelun commented.

Everyone understood, Wang Yuelun meant that he went to the United States to learn film art, and He Fang learned commercial film skills.

"Oh, it turns out that's the case, no wonder you all have their own merits." He Jiu laughed.

"Hehe..." Li Xiang smiled unnaturally.

……

In addition to the hosts of Mango TV, many film circles are also discussing.Especially for some filmmakers, watching movies is their daily necessity. Except when they are filming and have no time to watch movies, they usually watch movies every day. After all, movies are their job, and watching movies is also one of their jobs.

"Hey, this movie is good. I heard it was made by a fellow from Hunan." Feng Xiaogang agreed after watching it.

After all, he is one of the few major directors in China who understands business. It's not that he doesn't understand art, but that he can't handle it well. Just like Chen Kaige can't handle business, Feng Xiaogang can't handle art.

Although he tried his best to rely on art, but if he can't play it well, he can't play it. The fundamental reason is that Feng Xiaogang has never learned the language system of art films.

Even if he made what he thought were literary films "Assembly", "[-]", "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", and "Youth", these 'he thinks' literary films are not from the bottom of the heart of the literary circle. recognized.

Even if "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" won the Golden Shell Award and the Silver Shell Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, everyone who knows the industry knows that his films have no artistry at all.

The award was the joint result of public relations and San Sebastian's desire to expand his influence in China, not how artistic his film was.

Don't say that the literary and art circles don't recognize his art films, do you think the audience recognizes them?Randomly pull out an audience from all over China and ask them: Are the films made by Feng Xiaogang artistic?They'll absolutely piss you off.

Feng Xiaogang doesn't understand the core of art films at all, he has never systematically learned the expression of art film language, and he doesn't know what the word author of author films means.

It's like a Chinese-speaking person who tries hard to make an English-language movie. Is that the same thing?
"This director is good? Then we should sign him?" Wang Zhongjun asked after listening to Feng Xiaogang's compliment.

Feng Xiaogang was filming "The Great Earthquake in Tangshan". He watched a movie with visiting Wang Zhongjun in his spare time, but he didn't know anything about the situation.

"This is a good director of a commercial film. If you want to make money, you can sign it." Feng Xiaogang came to his conclusion and left, because he was still needed on the set.

"Ziyi, Bingbing, this movie is not bad. The actors are not well-known, and the director has never heard of it. The movie is really good." Director Jin Yimeng is also pulling his crew and actors after shopping. After watching the movie.

I originally wanted to watch "Harry Potter 6", but ended up watching such a movie promoted in the "The Voice" program.

The main reason is that Fan Bingbing has recently become obsessed with watching "The Voice of China". She also has music dreams, which is a pity.

"Have you noticed? The actors in it have no acting skills at all, but the audience can't tell." After all, Zhang Ziyi pays attention to different things, so she can tell at a glance.

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to it." Fan Bingbing said in surprise.

When Jin Yimeng thought about it, she suddenly realized that she was the director after all, and she would understand after a little thought.

"This director is of a very high level. He used a lot of moving shots and mid-range shots, and then let the actors enrich their body language to distract the audience from the actors' performance. It's not that Ziyi reminded me just now, it really didn't happen. Notice it."

"..." Fan Bingbing looked like he didn't understand, only Zhang Ziyi understood.

"It's a very pure Hollywood approach."

"Tsk, yes, I didn't expect that there are directors in China who have learned Hollywood's filmmaking techniques so well. When you say this, I suddenly found that he used the entire film... No, I have to watch it again." Jin Yimeng said immediately.

"Well, I want to watch it again." Zhang Ziyi agreed.

Zhang Ziyi recently wanted to switch to business, but it didn't go well.She has made too many literary and artistic films, but no matter how many literary and artistic names there are, they must be realized commercially.

"..." Fan Bingbing spread his hands, so she had no choice but to follow along.

……

At 2009:7 on July 16, [-], He Fang was smoking a cigarette in BJ's KTV and waiting for news. In this era, the Internet is not developed enough. If it is changed to a few years later, the box office information will be real-time. Maoyan and Taopiao Tickets are directly displayed at the box office in real time, so there is no need to wait until midnight.

Why is he in KTV at this time?Because he celebrated in advance, no matter how good or bad the grades are, he invited the creators of the crew to have fun tonight.

"Director, don't you have any data yet?" Xu Dongdong was also very concerned.

"Don't worry, it's coming..."

'Ding dong' He Fang's cell phone text message rang, and he opened it quickly.

"On July 7th, "Far Cry", 15% of the film schedule, 18.1 games, 6698 people per game, a comprehensive price of 56, and a box office of 28.9 yuan on the first day."

When He Fang saw this, his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and his hand holding the phone trembled a little.

He handed the mobile phone to Xu Dongdong, and then a group of people surrounded him. He Fang endured the excitement and took out a cigarette, lit it, and then took a sip of wine.

"How much is this? One, ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million... Oh my god, ten million, ten thousand and eighty-four thousand, my god, ah..."

"Come on, drink, drink, director He, director, post, post..."

Suddenly, everyone in the box felt as if gasoline had been ignited in their hearts. Everyone was excited, extremely excited...

What does it mean that the first day of ticket sales exceeds [-] million?It means that as long as you don’t pull your hips halfway, the total box office can exceed [-] million. How many domestic films can exceed [-] million?Count them all.

"Up and Down the Red Cliff", "If You Are the One", "Hero", "Three Shots Surprise", "Painted Skin", "Curse of Golden Armor", "Assembly", "Yangtze River No. [-]", "Certificate of Voting" , "Kung Fu", "Nanjing, Nanjing", "House of Flying Daggers", "The Banquet", "A World Without Thieves", "Crazy Racing"...

That’s basically it, probably less than 20 films, and most of them were filmed by the three major domestic directors, except for Lu Chuan and Ning Hao who broke into the 09 million yuan club in [-]. If "Far Cry" can break [-] million, Then He Fang will be the third rookie director to break into the [-] million yuan club.

He Fang was smoking a cigarette with interest. He originally thought that it would be a success if it broke 5000 million. After all, the original film was only released in 2011 with a box office of 9000 million, and it also had the blessings of Yang Mi and Chen Xiaochun, who were already popular and famous at the time.

Unexpectedly, with the promotion of Huying Group's announcement and a few popular variety show promotions, it would explode immediately. This is something he really didn't expect.
