China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 228 Breaking Domestic Box Office Records
On April 2014, 4, "Fast and Furious 3" was released in China.

The box office on the first day of the film inhumanely broke the box office record of the domestic single film premiere held by "Transformers 3.93" with a box office of about 4 million!
Afterwards, it sang all the way, setting countless box office records in one fell swoop, almost becoming the No.1 of all domestic box office records.

Before that, the movie with a box office of 10 billion in China was still an absolute big shot, but after the appearance of "Fast and Furious 7", even the movie with a box office of 10 billion seemed to be scum, because it only needed 10 billion yuan to break through the box office. God did it!
Of course, this perverted box office record is also being staged in other countries and regions.

At present, "Furious 7" is a killer in the global film market!
Is this movie good?
Of course, there is no problem with the quality. The standard Hollywood popcorn movies, handsome and beautiful actors, explosive plots and special effects, have always been attractive.

But the quality of the movie is one aspect, and another reason that cannot be ignored is the death of a leading actor.This reason does add a lot of points.People who basically know this movie know such a story during this period.

So the final outcome is that Huaguo's first movie with a box office breaking 20 billion was born!
Since then, the box office record of domestic movies no longer knows where the ceiling is; at least everyone has high expectations for it now!

Many people are aware of a problem, that is, more than 20 billion may not be the highest domestic box office record!
It has more possibilities in the future!
·····
"Reunion 2" is basically released on May 5st in the United States, China, Xiangjiang, Deguo, Yingguo, Ruidian and other places.

However, there are two countries that are a bit special, one is in the country of Hua, and the other is in the country of Bangzi.The former will be released two weeks later, and the latter will be released one week earlier.

Therefore, for Li Jingkun's "The Tuner", it has a great home court advantage in China, and can harvest two weeks of box office in advance.

But in Xiangjiang and several other Southeast Asian regions, it has to face it head-on.

It is worth mentioning that "The Tuner" was not released simultaneously in Bangzi Country, and it was delayed for a week before it was released.

But of course there are also good aspects, that is, it will be staggered with "Reunion 2" by two weeks, so there is no need to head-on at the most intense time.

But obviously, there is also a relatively bad news, that is, "Tuner" still has to compete with "Reunion 2" in the Xiangjiang area!
The Xiangjiang area is also very important now!
Don't forget, this movie is set in Xiangjiang, starring Hua Ge, and there are several veteran actors in Xiangjiang. At the same time, many behind-the-scenes staff of the movie are from Xiangjiang, so it is not against harmony to say that this is a Xiangjiang movie!

In Xiangjiang, they also belong to playing at home and away!
Just to be honest, The Tuner's home field advantage might not be that strong.Because Omi blockbusters are also very lethal to fans here-otherwise, why would Hong Kong movies gradually decline after 2000?

In fact, it has a lot to do with them completely opening up the market and allowing movies from other countries to be released here very smoothly!
We ordinary people, ordinary workers, have a budget of one or two movies a month, which is a lot, and then there is an Omi blockbuster and a local movie in theaters, which one would you choose?
Omi’s blockbuster has a huge investment, is well-produced, and has a lot of topics on the Internet. I feel that watching this movie is more fashionable and can catch up with the trend.

The other is Xiangjiang movies. I have watched a lot of Xiangjiang movies since I was a child, and the investment is smaller than others. Although the actors in it also like it very much, it feels like I can watch it anytime in the future?

So under such a comparison, the film market must be slowly eroded away!

Then a vicious circle is formed, no one watches local movies, and the filmmakers cannot make money; many people will change jobs if they can’t make money, and many film companies will be more cautious in making and investing in movies; Less, resulting in less and less competitiveness with others...
If the chain continues, can Xiangjiang Films not decline?
The entertainment industry is sluggish, can more new blood join in?

Without new blood joining in, wouldn't the artists who are active in the Xiangjiang entertainment market just be the same old faces?

······
But what can be done now?
There is nothing I can do, I can only do my own thing well, and try my best to do a good job of publicity here in Xiangjiang. I hope that by then, Li Jingkun and Brother Hua will not be too ugly to lose in the local market!
And besides the Hong Kong region that cannot relax the publicity, other Southeast Asian regions also have to be taken care of—the creators have to be arranged to go to publicize for a while, anyway, it’s not far away, just a two- to three-hour flight.

"Tuner" is going to hold four or five premieres this time, and the first one is to go to Penguin to record the online premiere.Li Jingkun and the three main characters all went.

And the first offline premiere will still be held in Kyoto, and then fly to Xiangjiang the next day to hold a premiere there.Then there are Pengcheng and Yangzhou, and finally they will go to Shanghai again.

In fact, the next few times are equivalent to roadshows, but they will be more grand and grand than ordinary roadshows.

On April 4, at Universal Studios Kyoto, the premiere of "The Tuner" in Kyoto.

Except for one or two works such as "Day and Night" that have not had a premiere, most other works basically have a premiere, and each time the scale is getting bigger and the stars are getting more and more.

This time "Tuner" is of course no exception.

For the premiere in Kyoto, in addition to some artists under Longqi Film and Television, Zhang Liangying, Zheng Chao, Bai Baihe, Huang Qianyuan, Xin Zhilei and others also arrived at the scene.Then other bigwigs include Han Shanye, Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai, Chen Kexin and so on.

Although the movie premiere has been held many times, this time is a little different from before, that is, there is finally one time where the fame and influence of the leading actor can be safely as good as the director himself.

Although this time the premiere itself is star-studded, Hua Ge himself is a bit special. One is that he has debuted for decades, and the other is that he has debuted for so many years. His reputation is really good and stable.

His existence is quite special in the Huaguo entertainment circle, so premieres and road shows often turn into fan meetings.That is, most people, no matter men, women, young or old, know him and like him.

Therefore, we did not arrange for several leading actors to walk the red carpet together, but let them appear individually and one after another; even this has already aroused warm applause and cheers.

After the red carpet show, everyone rested for a while, and then took their seats in the main venue one after another, and started the second session, which is the press conference.

This premiere event is mainly composed of three parts, the red carpet show, the press conference, and finally the official screening.

The host invited this time is Ma Dong, a graduate of Jingying, who used to be the host of Yangma. After leaving Yangma in 13, he joined iQiyi.com and became the chief content officer of the website.But now many people know him, probably because he is the producer and host of the variety show "Strange Flowers".

In 14, "The Story of Strange Flowers" became popular after it went online, and Ma Dong also started to move to another height in his life by virtue of this program.

"How does it feel to work with our Director Li?"

The press conference started, and Ma Dong came to the stage to make an opening speech, introducing the outline of the film's story and the main creators, etc., and then began to invite the director and several leading actors to come on stage.

Hua Ge, as the number one male, as a senior and a big star, was naturally the first to be mentioned by the host, and the first question was to ask him this.

"I'm very happy. I'm very glad to have the opportunity to cooperate with our young director once." Brother Hua said with a smile.

"Do you feel any different from the directors you worked with in the past?" Ma Dong continued to ask.

"The difference is that he is really young."

"Yes." Ma Dong nodded.

"I remember who said it before, it was Binbin, right?"

Brother Hua glanced at the others. Li Jingkun, Li Binbin, Huang Jue, Wan Qian and others were all on stage, but he didn't know what he wanted to say, so he just watched with a smile.But Brother Hua had confirmed it at this time, so he continued: "Yes, I remember knowing that Binbin said, it's amazing, our film, the crew of this drama, our director is the youngest. The others are all in their [-]s and [-]s. "

Everyone laughed, but Li Binbin and Wan Qian laughed angrily. The former said, "I'm not as old as I say I am."

Brother Hua smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I exaggerated a bit, but that's probably what it means."

Ma Dong smiled and said, "Yes, I understand what you mean."

Brother Hua said: "Apart from being young, Kunzai is different from other great directors in that he will prepare many things in advance and is more planned."

"Well, for example?"

"For example, the script is complete, the shooting plan is complete, and basically everything is well prepared."

"Very professional."

"Yes, our director is very professional, and our crew is also very professional. But I am not saying that the directors I worked with before did not do such a good job, but that many directors have different styles. Many big directors often have no scripts in the end. Dare to start. Many times there is only one story outline, and then when shooting starts, there is only one or two scripts."

When Ma Dong heard this, he couldn't help laughing again: "Yes, I can immediately think of a few great directors with this style after hearing you say that."

For example, Wang Sunglasses, Jiang Wen, and even Zhou Xingxing sometimes do the same.

Needless to say, Wang Sunglasses is notorious for procrastinating in making movies, and they are often characters who dare to set up projects and start projects without scripts or plans.

Jiang Wen also has this "problem" now, such as the previous "One Step Away", when Uncle Ge took over the filming of this movie, there was no script at all, and they all gathered together with a single story outline.Then on the first day of filming, they got their first script.

Yes, just one script, and then get the second script when it’s time to shoot the next day...

Or this is because they are creating all the time, and may revise the draft all the time, but in fact, for investors and actors, it is actually quite panic.

"But Brother Hua has debuted for so many years, are you still afraid of meeting such a great director?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. I'm also an actor. If you ask me to start filming when I'm not ready, I'll be at a loss."

After Ma Dong chatted with Brother Hua for a few words, he arrived at Li Binbin.

Li Binbin naturally praised the director and other leading actors, but after a few words, he even said that he was dissatisfied with Li Jingkun.

As soon as the words came out, everyone became curious, not knowing what she was going to say.

"It's just that we have known each other for so long, met several times before the filming, and stayed together for two months during the filming, why didn't we mention many things to me, but Brother Hua already knew about it! "

She said several words, but still did not say why.But many people present laughed, including Brother Hua, Wan Qian, Huang Jue and others—because they had already figured out what she was "angry" about, because it wasn't the first time she had brought it up.

Ma Dong is a mature host, and the host is also very good at making jokes, so he said with a smile: "Then you didn't confess a lot of things to you, can you tell us the specific things?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's about him falling in love with Tianxian!"

As soon as Li Binbin said this, the scene naturally laughed and cheered again.

Li Jingkun on the stage was a little helpless, and Liu Tianxian, who was sitting in the audience, covered his mouth and smiled.

In fact, if there is a couple on the scene, even if it is not the director, but Wan Qian or Li Binbin, they will definitely be ridiculed.

So they have already been mentally prepared, not to mention that they are still so popular; if it is not mentioned, it is not normal if it is not used as a joke.

Ma Dong smiled and said, "So Brother Hua already knew about this?"

Brother Hua nodded with a smile: "Yes, and probably knew about it earlier than most people."

Ma Dong said: "Oh? Can you tell me when? You know they haven't disclosed when they got together. Maybe you can help provide a little clue."

After saying this, the scene cheered again, and everyone watched the scene with a smile.

Brother Hua said: "I don't know when they got together, I just knew that they came to Xiangjiang together to find me. At first I thought our director brought the heroine to talk to me. "

Ma Dong showed a slightly shocked expression: "You mean, when Jing Kun invited you to participate in this movie, did he bring his family with him?"

"Hahaha, yes, but at first I didn't know they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and they didn't mention it themselves, so I thought she was one of the leading actors."

"Hahaha!"

When talking about this kind of thing, the scene is more joyful, and the audience and the media also like to watch this kind of plot and interaction, so they all have a very happy chat.

Several people teased them several times, and Li Binbin also "criticized" a few words, saying that they were so familiar with each other, yet they guarded her so tightly.

Later, Ma Dong took advantage of the situation and asked Wan Qian and Huang Jue if they knew about it, and of course they all said they didn't know.And the most embarrassing thing should be Wan Qian, because she was planning to "pay" the director once, but it was not long before she found out that the other party had a girlfriend...
Of course, if there are any unspoken rules, it seems that having a girlfriend is not an obstacle...

After chatting for a few gossips, they returned to the theme of the movie. Wan Qian and Huang Jue also shared a few words about their feelings and thanks during the filming process. Finally, it was director Li Jingkun's turn.

"Film is a high-risk industry, and the formation and completion of each work is not so easy. Of course, the completion of "The Tuner" is not as hard as "Chinatown". After all, it will not be as difficult to get production funds now as before. up.

However, in the process of its completion, many difficulties will still be encountered, such as doubts from fans of the short film of the same name, such as the control of the size of the film, such as the turmoil with another film, and so on.And when the actor was first selected, it was not as smooth as expected.

Not to mention other things, the choice of hero and heroine is a big challenge.The male protagonist needs to play a blind man, which is not just as simple as acting skills, but also requires a lot of preparatory work; because you need to know how a blind man lives, how he walks, how he eats, how he takes care of himself, etc. wait.

Then I saw Brother Hua starred in "Blind Detective", and I was quickly conquered by the blind policeman he played in it, thinking that he had well interpreted what a real blind person is like.So the first lead actor I looked for was Brother Hua! "

Li Jingkun said a lot and was very serious, and everyone began to be brought into emotions by him.

As Liu Tianxian said when he saw him recording "Filming Diary", many times he can basically be a host.

When he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help applauding, and Brother Hua also smiled and put his hands together to express his gratitude.

The host Ma Dong also nodded emotionally and said:
"I still take Tianxian with me."

"puff!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, they didn't expect Ma Dong to say such a sentence suddenly.It was a stroke of genius, because everyone thought of the content of their chat just now, and they echoed back and forth.

Sitting under the stage, Liu Tianxian also blushed while laughing - because everyone's eyes were on her again.

Ma Dong hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I blurted out subconsciously, Jing Kun, you continue!"

"Okay, thank you Ma Dongge for reminding me that I did bring my family with me."

Li Jingkun didn't pay much attention to it, and even teased himself, so everyone laughed again, and some people booed and cheered.

He and Liu Tianxian also looked at each other with a smile, and then the conversation continued:

"The heroine of this show is a big villain. I believe that many people who have watched the short film of the same name know what kind of character she is: fierce, cold-blooded, and a female character like Pan Jinlian. So at the beginning Indeed, I found several actresses and turned them down - not because I was afraid of acting badly, but because I was afraid of acting too well and being scolded!
Fortunately, sister Binbin helped me in the end, and she was also fascinated by this role.There is nothing wrong with being a villain, but for an actor, it is a rare and very challenging role!

Of course, she also had hesitation and worry, but in the end it was the actor's sense of faith and respect for the profession that allowed her to take the role!Now that the finished product is out, I can only say that her performance is really wonderful and outstanding!

We also held two internal previews before, and basically everyone was conquered by the character played by Sister Binbin!So I hope that the audience can also return to the role itself in the future, instead of becoming an actor just because she played such a role. "

Li Jingkun also admired Li Binbin's performance. After all, this movie is also his own work. After all, it is about to be released now. It must be a compliment to everyone.

At any time, he also thanked Wan Qian, Huang Jue and others, as well as other creators and staff for their support and contributions.

Then the press conference continued, and they also played some behind-the-scenes footage to fill in the content and process. Finally, Ma Dong went on stage to make a speech and summarize, and finally it was time for the official screening.

Li Jingkun sat in the front row with Brother Hua, Li Binbin, Wan Qian and others.

This time Liu Tianxian didn't sit with him, after all, she wasn't an actor in this movie; and Liu's mother didn't come, so this time she sat with her good friend Zhang Jingying.

Beside them are Gu Xiaona, Bu Guanjin, Li Xian, Bai Jingting and other artists from Longqi Film and Television.

Zuo Zheng did not come today. Although the production of "囧囧 in Hong Kong" has been completed, there is still a lot of work to follow up, and he has been busy recently.Maybe he will attend the premiere in Shanghai in a few days.

Ning Hao sat with Zhang Yibai, Chen Kexin and others.

"Extreme Job" started relatively late, but the current progress is about the same as "Hong Kong Ji".It wasn't that Ning Hao was faster, but that the expedition was slower this time.

But it's normal, the current pressure that Zuo Zheng is facing is much greater than that of Ning Hao.

"Jing Kun grew up too fast."

Looking at Li Jingkun on the stage, Zhang Yibo couldn't help but say something.

"Yes, it may be that his position has brought him growth—not in terms of directing ability, but in other areas. Leadership, speech and management are also constantly growing."

Ning Hao, Zuo Zheng and others are now one of Li Jingkun's most important partners, and they meet often, so they can naturally see his changes.

"He is an amazing young man. I have read all his works, and he is indeed improving every time. Maybe it is the prosperous market in the Mainland that can breed such powerful young filmmakers!"

Chen Kexin also sighed a little, one lamented the prosperous domestic film market, and the other lamented the sprung up film and television talents in China-they Xiangjiang used to be very brilliant!In the past, the Xiangjiang film market was full of stars and talents. In the past, Xiangjiang movies have influenced people in many countries and regions!

But at the moment, it's just a sigh, because in recent years his focus is also in China, and now he is also a beneficiary of the market, so there is nothing to be sad about.

Soon, with the departure of the host Ma Dong, "The Tuner" finally came to its screening time.Everyone sat upright and cheered up again.
