This star is too fierce

Sina Weibo: [Shenzhen promotion, the audience shouted "Second brother is awesome", Lu Bu's response was surprising. 】

Baidu hot search: [Shenyang propaganda, Lu Bu and Da talk about the "Three Kingdoms", leading everyone to appreciate the struggle in troubled times. 】

Entertainment Daily: [Magic City Promotion, Lu Bu talks about the versatility of the character [Lu Bu]. 】

The day after "Latent" was completed, Lu Bu devoted himself to the promotional activities of "Three Kingdoms: Chang'an Rebellion" and visited fifteen cities in half a month, including overseas cities such as Seoul, Tokyo, and Chicago. .

The film has been promoted to the extreme, with a publicity and distribution fee of up to 1 million, which is an investment in addition to the shooting cost. It has attracted a lot of popularity and buzz, but whether it has any effect on the box office will not be known until it is released three days later.

However, the chance of surpassing "Avatar" at the global box office is very slim. It is 27.88 billion U.S. dollars, a terrifying number. There is a slight chance at the Chinese box office, which is 13.2 billion RMB, which is not out of reach.

Because of the solid foundation laid by the first "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World", some loyal viewers will come to the cinema. And as long as the score is no less than 8.0 in the future, word-of-mouth will attract some more to the cinema.

Of course, this can be exceeded in theory. The biggest problem is the ticket price. The IMAX ticket price and 3D ticket price of "Avatar" are relatively high. The ordinary ticket price of "Three Kingdoms: Chasing the World" requires two or three tickets to cover it. One ticket, which means that for the same box office, a movie with a lower ticket price requires many more moviegoers than a movie with a higher ticket price.

Now, it is like doing everything that can be done and leaving everything to the audience.

New Year's Eve, Hangzhou, Shanshui Gudang Villa Area.

Lu Buzheng and Yu Feihong are preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. This year's Spring Festival will be spent together by the two of them.

He would like to have a few more, preferably all seven of them. No matter what happens, he won't force it. There will always be this opportunity.

"By the way, have you watched the movie that will be released during the Spring Festival this year?" Yu Feihong asked casually in the kitchen.

"Look, what's wrong?" Lu Bu asked.

"Many blockbusters have not chosen to be released in this period, because they are afraid of you." Yu Feihong said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not bad. No matter how powerful it is, it's impossible to take away all the films scheduled." Lu Bu doesn't think "Three Kingdoms: Chang'an Rebellion" is so strong that no film can suppress it.

Blockbusters, barely four.

First of all, it is "Happy Events in the Flower Fields 2010" starring Zhang Guorong, Louis Koo, and Huang Baiming. This is an old IP. I originally approached him. He was also interested at the time, but later the schedule was too tight and he turned it down. The actors were all fine. He is a well-established comedian in Hong Kong, so it just depends on the script. However, judging from Huang Baiming's movies in recent years, the probability of overturning is high.

Then there are Cheng Cage's two films, "The Agent Next Door" co-produced by Hollywood, and "Little Soldier" co-starring Leehom Wang. They are both familiar "Cheng's action comedies" and have easily exceeded 100 million in box office.

Then came "The Golden Guard", which became a hit with "Ip Man" and starred Zhen Zidan. It also had popular stars such as Zhao Wei, Wu Chun, and Tsui Zishan joining the cast, and it had a good box office appeal.

The rest are family-friendly movies, such as "72 Tenants", "Love in the City", "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Mighty Tiger", etc. The box office performance will definitely test the reputation.

"You are right, but if you invest over 100 million, you need three times the box office to make back your money. Take last year, many blockbusters made their money back on box office. Not even one of them, including the special film "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", It’s almost a total loss, it’s quite stressful.” Yu Feihong shook his head and sighed.

"The market is definitely sufficient, but..." Lu Bu put the peeled garlic on the kitchen table and shrugged: "those blockbusters with an investment of over 100 million, apart from the cast, can be called blockbusters, other things like plot, performance , special effects, etc., are all unsatisfactory. Today’s audience is not easy to fool, if it doesn’t look good, it just doesn’t look good.”

"Especially after falling off the mountain of "Avatar", the word 'blockbuster' has been redefined, and the audience's mind has also changed." Yu Feihong feels that this film opens a new era for movies.

"The soup is full!" Lu Bu quickly took off the pot lid with quick hands and eyes.

The two stopped chatting and concentrated on cooking New Year's Eve dinner. Within a short time, the dining table was filled with large and small plates.

There are few people, and there are many dishes. The New Year is about being rich, with fish and meat, both cold and hot. If you can’t eat it, you can put it in the refrigerator.

During the Spring Festival this year, fireworks are prohibited in the urban area of ​​Hangzhou, which makes it less lively. Coupled with the heavy snowfall, every household stays at home, and the New Year atmosphere is much lighter.

It was getting dark.

At the dinner table, Lu Bu opened a bottle of red wine and had a few drinks with Yu Feihong. The meal brought out many "warm" scenes.

After the meal, Yu Feihong cleared the table and Lu Bu went to play video.

Then, just like last year, I watched the Spring Festival Gala on the sofa.

"The Spring Festival Gala without Lu Bu wouldn't be called the Spring Festival Gala." This is the most frequently said sentence about this year's Spring Festival Gala on the Internet recently.

Think about it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, it is the most popular, the most popular, and the most popular. Isn’t this the Spring Festival Gala?

However, Lu Bu just refused to come, and it would be difficult for anyone to come.

As a result, there are very few highlights.

The sketch "Donation" brought by Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang has some laughs, but it is not as hilarious as last year's "Not Short of Money".

Liu Qian and Dong Qing collaborated again to stage a new magic trick called "Kaleidoscope of Changes", but it was not as stunning as last year's "Magic Hands".

Among the crosstalks, only Jia Ling and Bai Kainan's "Big Talk" can make people laugh, and the others are mediocre.

Ninety-nine percent of the singing and dancing programs were "festival in nature", and the only remaining highlight was the reunion of the three Little Tigers, who had a blast of memories on the stage.

"The influence of the Spring Festival Gala is still there, and the ratings are still there, but..." Yu Feihong leaned in Lu Bu's arms and said in a regretful tone: "The excitement is no longer there."

Lu Bu nodded in agreement and said: "Actually, it's not the director's fault, nor the actors' fault. Influence is a double-edged sword. Many things can no longer be performed on this stage. From now on..." As he spoke, he sighed lightly and said: "Maybe it will get worse year by year."

Yu Feihong suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said pointedly: "Not necessarily, there is still a trump card."

Lu Bu turned her face and said with a half-smile, "You don't know how to talk about me. How can I be so capable?"

Yu Feihong smiled and said: "You do."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Okay~ Madam, if you say yes, then yes."

There was no need to set off fireworks or go to the cinema to watch a movie, so I went to bed early.

The next day, I didn't get up until the sun was shining three poles.

However, it's so warm under the covers that people don't want to come out.

Then a new round of busyness is inevitable. After all, exercise makes people happy. It was not until Yu Xiaoli called to report the release status of "Three Kingdoms: Chang'an Rebellion" that Lu Bu and Yu Feihong reluctantly got out of bed. (End of chapter)
