China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 98 28 Hour Box Office
The communication at the premiere was smooth. In fact, the questions were similar to those he asked in Cannes. A movie that everyone can see, the questions that can arise are actually the same.

Including asking the main creators questions, the same, much the same.So, being a celebrity is nervous at first, but after a long time you will find that it is nothing more than that. You can recite the reporters' questions by heart.

Of course, I also asked some old-fashioned questions, and He Fang answered them patiently.

What it is, I won’t count the words.For example, the dispute between the director-centered system and the producer-centered system between the media and some literary and artistic filmmakers is still being asked.

Words like water mean nothing.

The premiere ended at around 22:30 in the evening, and after that, there was a reception at the State Guesthouse, and those with invitation letters were picked up by buses.

Of course, you can also drive by yourself with the invitation letter.

And the leaders at this time will definitely not go, they are still chatting on the spot with He Fang.

"Director He, your film is good, and you criticize it well. Some people always say that we don't want to accept criticism. In fact, this is wrong. How can there be progress without criticism? But some people use criticism as a weapon, It is used as a weapon to vent personal anger, and even as a weapon for others to slander us. Sometimes they are maliciously criticizing and deliberately slandering, which is why we restrict them, and then spread rumors and smear policies there .”

"Come on, work hard, and strive to make more excellent works. Of course, as you said, literary films cannot sell high box office, and more commercial films should be made. The film industrialization you are engaged in with the Lake Film Group Yes, we all look forward to your achievements and outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese films."

He Fang said modestly and excitedly: "Leader, don't worry, I will continue to work hard and strive to shoot more good works."

"Well, that's fine. Next, you should do your best. Tell us if you need support. We support young people with ideas."

"Thank you for your support and encouragement."

"Okay, you still have a lot of guests to receive, go and do your work."

Then, the crew of "Single Zoo" sent the leaders to the car together with the executives of Huying Group, Huayi and China Film Group.

After that, the rest of the group went to the scene after drinking, after all, there are still people waiting for them to create.

At the reception, He Fang raised his glass on behalf of the film crew.

"Thank you for your support today. As for me, I am young and I don't know how to say beautiful words. I can only say thank you. If you need me to support you next time, you can just say a word. Come on, everyone raise your glass, thank you everyone, cheers !"

"Cheers, best wishes to Singles Zoo!"

"Haha, good, good, big sale, big sale..."

……

After chatting with everyone, it is natural to clink glasses and drink alone with the big shots.

"Mr. Han, thank you for your support. I don't know how to say nice things, so please be kind to Mr. Han." He Fang clinked glasses with Han Sanping.

"Ha, if you want to say something beautiful with me, just tell the truth. But this time, you won the honor for Chinese movies." Han Sanping laughed.

"Winning an award is nothing more than winning an award. After all, winning an award cannot change the weak status of Chinese films. If my film can make Chinese films rise, then it is worthy of real joy." He Fang said modestly .

"Okay, well said. However, it's not that you didn't do it. Your film industrialization is highly valued by the bureau and department. If you can succeed, it will be a way out for the old film factory film group. .”

"Ha, if I can really solve this problem, it would be my honor, kid."

"However, if according to your plan, all film studios across the country are doing this, will there be duplication of construction and waste of resources instead?" Han Sanping asked.

"Director Han, the eight major Hollywood production companies in the past all had their own production bases, and they all had their factories inside, but there was no duplication and waste. Up to now, their bases are still in short supply, because the shooting bases Limited, but there are many small and medium-sized film companies, and there are many crews who apply for renting bases every day. The key is that the scale of the film market has grown, and each film studio can build its own photography base, but it also needs to seek differentiation. "

"Oh? What difference?" Han Sanping asked.

"Well, for example, I'm just making an analogy. For example, Hengdian focuses on ancient palaces and focuses on costume dramas. In the future, the Huying Film and Television Base will focus on modern dramas and science fiction. Can it be said that Changchun Film Group can focus on the world of ice and snow? What about the shooting base? Can Xiying Group focus on the western style of the desert?"

"Of course, this is just my assumption. Seeking differentiation is also seeking differentiation for each group's films. For example, Changying Film Studio can focus on shooting stories that happened in the world of ice and snow in the future, and Xiying Film Group can focus on filming Some western stories and the like. In this way, everyone has their own characteristics, and they can complement each other without vicious competition. Moreover, there is no need to invest a lot, just a small investment to build their own characteristics."

He Fang's words made Han Sanping nod continuously, and he agreed with this idea.This may really be a way. As for the specifics, we can hold a meeting to discuss it at that time.

"Well, young people still have ideas. However, what you said requires the support of a huge film market. Now one Hengdian can meet more than half of the country's film production needs."

"I personally think that the movie box office market in the future will be no worse than that of North America. It will reach tens of billions of dollars in box office. Even if half of it is earned by Hollywood, there is still a market of 50 billion dollars, which is enough to support more film crews. What's more, it's not the film crews that are most used by film and television bases, but the TV drama crews, and our TV dramas have developed very well."

"Well... You can think about it when you look back. Director He, come to our China Film Studio when you have time, and give us a good plan for the China Film Festival."

"Haha, I don't have any good ideas for Han Dong's promotion of the boy. It's just a little opinion. I will definitely harass Han Dong when I have time."

"Okay, then go ahead, your words are enough for me to digest."

……

"Director He, I'm Yu Dong from Bona, I've wanted to meet you for a long time..."

"Mr. Yu, you just don't want to know me, and I want to know you too. I really want to cooperate with you Bona."

"Yeah, that's great, I have the same idea..."

……

"Director He, this is my boss, Mr. Wang. He has always wanted me to introduce you to each other, but it's always a coincidence." Liu Yan pulled a middle-aged man wearing glasses over.

"Mr. Wang, hello, nice to meet you..."

……

In addition to the excitement here at "Singles Zoo", the Internet is also very lively.

"[Singles Zoo] The Great Hall's domestic first end: Big names from all walks of life in literature and art have liked it"

"Feng Xiaogang: [Single Zoo] I can't make a movie like this, the movie deserves the award"

"Zhang Yimou: This is a movie with depth, but it is also a movie that can be easily understood"

"Chen Kaige: I'm Not Alone! "

"Jiang Wen: This is an amazing movie"

"Han Sanping: The success of [Single Zoo] is the pride of Chinese films"

"How to Watch [Singles Zoo]: Analysis of Ten Aspects of the Palme d'Or Film"

"Where to teach you how to watch the Palme d'Or"

"Fifteen Metaphors from the Palme d'Or film [Singles Zoo]"

……

At this time, the Internet is already full of reports about "Single Zoo".

And the major forums also exploded:

"I actually understood this literary film. I thought it would be obscure and incomprehensible. It turned out that I understood it after watching it. It's amazing."

"It really is the Palme d'Or. It's really a good movie. It's full of criticism and satire, and the movie makes people think. Perhaps the director told us that from the description of the movie, we can clearly see that the director is satirical and negative about both forms. Whether it's "sinful to be single" or "sinful to have a partner."

"That's right, it's a pity that the director didn't give a happy ending after praising free love. Has the male lead reappeared?"

"Didn't He Fang say that the hero chooses to be a lobster, because the lobster has blue blood (nobility), longevity (doesn't want to die), and fertility until death (desire), so the hero should be selfish and hope to become How could an aristocrat with power and desire poke his eyes blind for love?"

"Ah, is it so cruel? Don't you even keep a little bit of beauty?"

"That's why the director gave an open ending, not to mention whether the male lead poked his eyes."

"I didn't get a ticket, ah..."

……

He Fang was very tired all day long, very, very tired, he had to act, he had to pretend, he had to behave decently, not only he had to be able to speak well, he also had to be able to drink a lot of wine...

So he fell asleep as soon as he got back to the room, and slept until nine o'clock in the morning the next day. If he wasn't woken up by the phone, he would still be able to sleep, and he would definitely be able to sleep soundly.

"Wow, not bad."

The first time He Fang woke up, he looked at the data from the Office of the National Film Industry Development Special Fund Management Committee (Electrical Resources Office). "Single Zoo" had a 35% film schedule, nearly 9% attendance, and four hours on the first day. The box office reached 650 million.

Not bad, it's great to get this data in only four hours.

I got up and went to the restaurant to have breakfast, and then met everyone in the restaurant. Today, the crew of "Single Zoo" must be doing a road show in the capital for a day, and accept some interviews by the way.

And the 40 people who came back with He Fang will go back to Changsha directly with the people of Huying Group. Of course, it doesn't matter if some people don't go to Changsha, they can go home.

After all, if you are a filmmaker, no one asks you to go to work, and you are usually very free.

It's just that their brokerage contracts are all signed with Tuanhuo Culture. If they want to accept work or something, the crew must sign a contract with Tuanhuo Culture.

This road show is completely different from the last "Far Cry", this time it comes with an award, and there are two soldiers present, which is a bit ostentatious.

The scene is full of people, crowded.

So, this time, in order to take care of the two soldiers, instead of going to many theaters, they went to three theaters: Xingmei, Wanda, and UME.

Because in addition to going to the road show, they have to accept media interviews. He Fang still owes exclusive interviews from media such as Yangliu, "Beijing News", "Beijing Morning News", Zha Lang, Sohu, Netease, Tencent, and even "Movie", Interviews with professional magazines such as "Contemporary Cinema" and "Popular Cinema".

Of course, there are also program invitations for "A Date with Luyu".

It's just too busy.

He Fang had no choice but to squeeze time out one by one to accept their interviews, so the crew stayed in the capital for two days, went to the theater on the first day, and accepted relevant interviews on the second day.

……

7月17日周六的票房也随之出来了，1681万，28小时票房达到了2331万元。

This is a very good data.

Comparable to the box office of commercial films, the highest single-day box office of literary films over the years.

Not to mention the highest single-day box office, but many literary and artistic films did not get this total box office until they were released.

"Have you seen it? I have already said that you don't understand the power of the Palme d'Or, especially if it is a literary film that ordinary people can understand at a glance. It can win a high box office. No. It’s the kind of literary movie that makes people drowsy, and then the plot is messy, so we have to face this opponent squarely.”

After knowing the box office of "Single Zoo" for a full day, the crew of "Tangshan Earthquake" was unprecedentedly dignified.

"Director Feng, why didn't Mr. Wang and the others discuss changing the schedule with Huying Group? Why did they arrange it at this time?" Screenwriter Su Xiaowei asked in confusion.

Feng Xiaogang spread his hands, just smiled and said nothing.

"Director Feng, maybe we can also learn from "Single Zoo" and hold a road show in the top ten cities in the country." The old producer Hu Xiaofeng said suddenly.

"Well... I have to say that this is a good proposal..."

He Fang did not expect that "Single Zoo" really made Feng Xiaogang nervous.

Of course, besides the nervous Feng Xiaogang, there are other people planning.

In a certain community in the capital, several middle-aged people from Taiwan province gathered together.

"Guys, He Fang must be recruited here, and he must be recruited by any means. Or suppressed, and there cannot be a new Chinese-speaking director comparable to Director Li. This will only squeeze the cultural power of our Taiwan Province."

"Didn't Lin Chiling be asked to act? What's going on?"

"No chance... There was no chance at the premiere and reception the day before yesterday..."

"Then let's discuss it again. We must have two plans. How to win? How to suppress?"
