Chapter 236 Domestic Director Box Office No.1

"Tuner" has been released for 10 days, and soon "Reunion 2" will also land in domestic cinemas.

But now Li Jingkun and the others are not as panicked as before. One is because their own movies are also very strong, with good word-of-mouth and attendance; After all, it is 2D's share, and the domestic 3D theaters will still be dominated by "The Tuner".

There must be an impact, but this is something that can't be helped, and we have to continue no matter what happens.

And when he was on the road show in Tianfu Province, Liu Tianxian actually said that he would come to find him, which surprised him; but his girlfriend was coming, and he was doing nothing wrong, so there was no reason not to agree.

"Didn't you just break up? Just miss me that much?"

"I don't have anything to do recently. Let's go out with you for a stroll. I'm afraid your road show will be boring and hard!"

Liu Tianxian really has nothing to do recently, but the reason why he couldn't help running over to find him right after we separated was mainly because he was stimulated by the words of the netizens - I missed him twice in a row, so I was a little panicked and wanted to make up for it he.

Finally at night, after the two of them were alone in bed, she uttered the question a little cautiously.

"... Let me ask you a question."

"Tell me."

"I forgot to thank you twice in a row, will you blame me?"

"?"

Li Jingkun was a little confused: "Twice?"

"It's an award acceptance speech, and then a scarf..."

"..."

This girl was so honest and cute, he obviously didn't remember the two times, but in the end she obediently confessed.

At this time, it was only two or three days before the closing of the Kyoto College Student Film Festival, but he was busy with road shows and didn't play with scarves at all, so he didn't notice how netizens commented.

Of course he knew about the omission of the award acceptance speech, but he didn't notice it when he gave out the scarf; but even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much, because he also felt that what Liu Tianxian said was very good that night, and there was no need to add more. something.

It's just that she didn't expect her to care so much.

So he said, "Yes."

"what?"

"Didn't you say I would blame you? I said yes."

"Ah? Really? Woohoo, I'm sorry, I was so happy and excited at the time, I forgot about you..."

"..."

Liu Tianxian began to lie on his chest and pretend to cry, hoping to escape the catastrophe.

"But it's not impossible to forgive you."

"unless?"

"Well, of course it's a conditional forgiveness - I've been thinking about one thing for a long time, how about we order a dress from 'Wang Yuyan'? Or the same style of dress from 'Zhao Linger'..."

"..."

Of course Liu Tianxian knew that she would pay something this time, but she still didn't expect it to be this.

At this moment, what she thought of was Wang Dazhui's words:

I never expected that I would get his forgiveness in the end, but I have to...
······
On May 5, Omi's masterpiece "Avengers 12" was released, with a box office of 2 million on the first day, surpassing the previous blockbuster "Transformers 2.06" with 1.96 million, and ranked second in the first-day box office in mainland film history.At the same time, this result also refreshed the Tuesday box office record of 4 million for "Fast and Furious 4" on April 14, and became Disney's best result in China.

6 days later, the box office of "Reunion 2" was released in the first week, and it got a frenzied 9.1 million, setting a new record for the first week in China!At the same time, it is also the well-deserved weekly box office champion this week!
Of course, the market share of "Tuner" was squeezed by it. Fortunately, the word-of-mouth and popularity established in the early stage are still there, so this week's results will not be too ugly. After all, there are still more than 2 million box office pockets.The total box office also came to 12.8 billion.

The box office of "Tuner" has been squeezed, and the fate of other works can be imagined.

Since the release of "Reunion 2", except for "The Tuner", the attendance rate of other films is basically as low as an average of less than 10 people per game... The box office results are extremely ugly!
On that day, filmmakers finally remembered the fear of being dominated by Omi's blockbuster...

"It's still a pity. It would be great if I didn't come across this blockbuster movie."

In Longqi Film and Television, Li Jingkun had a meeting with Zhou Deze, Sheng Yuan and others in the conference room; looking at the latest week's box office report, Zhou Deze said helplessly.

Although "Tuner" still won more than 2 million box office this week, since "Reunion 2" was released, the decline is still relatively large, and the film and television for it are still quite heavy.

If you didn't encounter such blockbusters, but other movies, it would not be difficult for "Tuner" to get another 1 million this week.

"There's no way, it's impossible to have the right time, place, people and everything we want. We are optimistic about the schedule, and other blockbuster films also want it."

Without "Avengers 2", there may be other blockbusters. This year, there are many works that are not inferior to "Avengers 2" in terms of influence and appeal.

For example, "Fast and Furious 4" in April, such as "囧囧 in Hong Kong", "Monster Hunt" and "Jurassic World" and so on.

Of course, "Lost in Hong Kong" is their own movie of Baixi Media, and it is definitely impossible to arrange two of their own works to compete together.

"But no matter what, this result has already broken the highest box office record of Director Li!"

Yes, three weeks after the release of "Tuner", the box office exceeded 12.8 billion, which has already surpassed the results of his two previous works, so the highest-grossing work of director Li Jingkun has come out, and this is the final result. We will continue to break through this number in the future!
Therefore, in the case of "Reunion 2" raging domestic entertainment, the promotion of "Tuner" cannot be left behind.

"Continue to follow up. Now that the road show is over, don't slack off other promotional work. Although "Reunion 2" is coming aggressively, we still have a lot of advantages as a home game!"

Such as publicity, such as key extension!
Yes, "Tuner" will definitely be postponed for one more month!So the propaganda still can't be left behind!
Judging from the attendance rate of this movie, it can still get a lot of box office back in the later stage!

As for "Reunion 2", it is generally impossible to postpone it.

What the hell is going for a dozen or two billion as soon as you come in, what else do you want...

So this is also one of the advantages of domestic films!

Everyone can only comfort themselves in this way.

······
"Li Jingkun's new film "The Tuner" broke personal box office records!"

"The latest box office record of "The Tuner" is 12.8 billion, and Li Jingkun has become the first director whose two movies have broken the box office of 10 billion!"

"No.1 domestic director box office, Li Jingkun's total domestic box office number one!"

Yes, after the box office of "The Tuner" exceeded 12.8 billion, these promotions and press releases began to explode soon!
Although it is a bit exaggerated, although in the near future, directors such as Zhang Zheng, Ning Hao, Zhou Xingxing will also have a second work with a box office breaking 10 billion, but it does not affect the media's praise of Li Jingkun at this time!
Everything is for the popularity of "Tuner" not to drop, and not to be suppressed too much by "Reunion 2"!
And seriously, it's not an exaggeration, because these are facts.

Before Zhang Zheng's "囧带" was released, and before Ning Hao and Zhou Xingxing's new works were released, Li Jingkun was indeed the first person to have two films with more than 10 billion box office, and it is indeed the total box office at present. The tallest director, so there is no mistake at all!

To be honest, it’s not flattering at all... and this information may not be kept for long, after "Monster Hunt" and "囧Hong Kong" come out, everyone may forget about these reports, because There are more exaggerated works coming out...
······
After the road show of "The Tuner" ended, Li Jingkun's work began to focus on other places.

First of all, the work of "Love Like a Bouquet", such as when to prepare for the release, and at the same time have to leave a few days to go to China - the 21st is the time when the film will be screened at the Cana Film Festival, and he will have to talk to Liu Tianxian Go there.

This time it was just for the screening, just like Zhang Guoshi's "Return" before, it was just regarded as a propaganda position, and it didn't need to stay for long.

However, the organizer invited them to walk the red carpet at the opening ceremony, so they may go to the opening ceremony for a stroll, then fly back, and stay for two or three days during the screening in a few days.

Yes, this time because I am busy, I will not follow from beginning to end.

……

Because of the amazing performance of "The Tuner", after the road show, naturally many colleagues in the industry will greet him in various ways, invite him to dinner, and mainly hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.This is a normal phenomenon, and there are often many people who want to seek cooperation from Longqi Film and Television.

However, Brother Long, who had chatted for a long time at the Xiangjiang premiere last time, also followed a little closely. It seemed that he really liked Li Jingkun's movies, so we talked with him a few times later.Seeing that he is not as busy as before, I contacted him again.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with Brother Long. After all, Li Jingkun has been thinking about how to expand his overseas influence and box office performance.

It's just that there are still more things to consider when cooperating with Brother Long.

The first thing to consider is the salary issue.

Li Jingkun's movies are becoming more and more popular now, so more and more big names want to cooperate with him.It was Brother Hua before, and now it is Brother Long.However, the latter is somewhat different from the former.

Although Brother Hua's salary is not low, it has not reached the ceiling.In the past, because the director had many Xiangjiang filmmakers involved, there was a discount on the film salary.Therefore, Hua Ge's salary is not too outrageous.

But Brother Long’s salary is quite high. Even if he makes domestic films, he will get a discount, but generally it will not be lower than a certain figure. After all, where the celebrity is, after all, the global influence is there.

So pay is an issue that needs to be taken seriously.

You must know that "Heavenly Lion", which was released in the Spring Festival not long ago, looked very high at the box office, with a score of nearly 8 million, but the total investment was 4 million, so it seems that the film studio lost a lot...
The second thing to consider is the subject matter.

Brother Long's personal style is relatively obvious, and he must find a work that suits his style.The best, of course, are action movies.

The third is to consider the production scale and market issues.

Since it is a work that Brother Long participated in, it must be better to consider the global market; and because his personal salary is so high, the production scale must not be low.

Referring to the movies he has starred in in recent years, you will find that most of them have a production budget of at least [-] million to [-] million.

But to be honest, there are very few works that really make a lot of money.

Brother Long's market influence and rate of return in recent years are really not as good as some rising male actors in China, such as Yu Zheng, Huang Bo, Huang Baoqiang and so on.

If you simply want to consider the domestic market, and simply consider earning the box office of the domestic film market, choosing them is really better than choosing Big Brother Long...

······
A while ago, Li Jingkun and the others were busy with "The Tuner" and didn't pay much attention to Ga Na. In fact, the recent film festival is still as lively as ever.And this year will only be more lively than last year, because this time there are three Chinese-language movies participating here.

The first is "Assassin Nie Yinniang", which is very popular at home and abroad. The latest masterpiece of film master Hou Xiaoxian has been preparing for 10 years.The second is Jia Kechang's "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers"; both of them have entered the main competition.

The third part is "Love Like a Bouquet" by Li Jingkun; although it failed to enter the competition unit, the recent popularity is not low!

One is that director Li Jingkun has been very popular recently, and a "Tuner" that broke the box office record of Chinese movies has brought his fame to a new level.So his other movie that has not been released will naturally enter everyone's field of vision, and it has attracted a lot of attention invisibly.

The other is that Longqi Film and Television Company has already started to promote the movie, and the publicity has slowly started.

The last one is that the film crew also revealed a big news, that is, director Jiang Wen participated in this movie!
Although it was revealed that it was just a guest appearance, it didn't affect the media's enthusiasm for this gimmick!

Jiang Wen is also a well-known director at home and abroad, and he has a good relationship with Gana. In recent years, he has been exhibiting his works in exhibitions, so he is also well-known here!

Therefore, the new generation of directors paired with the great director Jiang Wen is quite topical and attractive!
Not to mention that Ga Na is very interested here, domestic netizens were also very curious when they heard about it for the first time. I really don’t know how Jiang Wen will appear in Li Jingkun’s movie.

"Isn't it an urban youth romance movie? How did it get involved with Jiang Wen?"

"I'm also very curious. I really want to see what it looks like."

"This time, it's a literary film after all. It wouldn't be against the harmony for Jiang Wen to be included in a literary film, right? And I heard that he's playing himself in the film this time!"

"It's just a cameo, probably not many scenes, right? But I'm still very curious, I don't know what kind of appearance he will appear in his movie."

"Since when did Li Jingkun and Jiang Wen know each other? And are they on such a good relationship? I even gave him a cameo in a movie!"
