Chapter 221 Breaking [-] million on the first day, the [-] million club is no longer popular

The film starts from the chaos of time and space, and there are constant laughs.

Lei Jiayin washed the bean sprouts, and inexplicably fished out a bath ball from the vegetable sink. Tong Liya emerged from the bathtub, with emerald green bean sprouts on top of her head besides the bath foam.

Li Mu, who was talking softly with Lei Jun, caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind.

"Mr. Li?"

"Ah, ah?"

After recovering, Li Mu and Lei Jun continued to chat.

In the movie, Lei Jiayin in the 90s opened the steaming rice cooker, and there was a woman’s shirt steaming inexplicably inside. Lei Jiayin put the lid on the pot, and opened the pot after a while, but the shirt was still there. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

There was a burst of laughter in the theater, and then the modern Tong Liya took down the towel next to it, and it turned out that there were two big steamed buns covered under the towel, and the laughter in the theater became even louder.

In the 90s, Lei Jiayin scooped a spoonful of milk powder, but it blew out from the hair dryer on Hyundai Tong Liya’s side. Hyundai Tong Liya couldn’t press the shampoo no matter how she pressed it. It turned out that the shampoo traveled through time and space and landed in the 90s. On Lei Jiayin's head.Tong Liya kept pressing the shampoo, and Lei Jiayin kept washing her hair. One couldn't press the shampoo and was tormented and collapsed, and the other couldn't wash off the bubbles on her hair and was tortured and collapsed. At this time, the camera quickly Switching, the theater laughed one after another.

Finally, the house fit together, and the hero and heroine met.

At this time, Li Mu and Lei Jun also stopped talking, and both of them concentrated on watching the movie.

The male and female protagonists first opened the door belonging to Lei Jiayin's side together. As a result, Tong Liya in the 21st century saw the world of 90 years.Then the two opened the door of Tong Liya's room together, and then Lei Jiayin in the 90s was shocked by the magic city in 2011 and was speechless.

……

In the movie, the Xiaomi mobile phone, which has not yet been released for sale, shines brilliantly and becomes the representative of technological progress in the eyes of Lei Jiayin in the 90s. In this era, only a very small number of people use smartphones, so the application of smartphones in the movie can be regarded as making many viewers It was an eye-opener, and some audience members even whispered to their friends, how can there be such advanced performances in 2011 movies?

The main reason is the plot of Tong Liya talking with the mobile phone in the movie, which makes many people think that what is described in it is not 2011 at all, and it would be good to have this technology in 2021, maybe it may not be in 2031.

Viewers who have used smartphones such as Apple, and ordered Ele.me or group takeaways will think that the description in the movie is not too exaggerated, but 2011 is indeed not as advanced as in the movie.

"It feels a bit distorted here. How can 2011 be like in the movie? Xiao Ai belongs to the artificial intelligence in science fiction, right? Does this technology exist in real mobile phones?"

"Director Li Mu was born in writing science fiction novels. Maybe it's because he wrote too many science fiction novels and confiscated them."

"However, the world described in it is quite exciting. You can order takeout and buy movie tickets by tapping your mobile phone, and you can also let Haidilao make noodles at home. The key is that the prices inside are really cheap, and you can buy movies with group purchases. The ticket is only 50 yuan. This time, I waited in line for a long time to buy the premiere ticket, and it cost me more than 50 oceans. If the reality is the same as in the movie, [-] yuan is enough to order several times after watching the movie. Takeaway, in the movie, it’s only [-] yuan for a group of fried chicken, so I’m envious.”

On the side, an audience member poked the lady who was complaining softly, and said, "Have you never used the group takeout? My premiere ticket was sold from the group, nine yuan and nine."

The girl who just complained: "Huh?"

The man said again: "And now there is an event in the group. I just ordered the fried chicken for one yuan yesterday."

"Huh? True or false?"

"of course it's true!"

During the entire film screening, there was constant laughter in the theater, and the audience laughed and applauded the film from time to time. Of course, this can reflect that the quality of the film is not bad, but in fact, it is not necessary to pay too much attention to the applause of the audience during the premiere.

On the occasion of the premiere, the main creators of the movie are all present, and most of the audience who come are fans of the main creators or senior movie fans. These people will generally give the film crew a lot of face, so as long as the quality of the film is basically passable , in most cases, the audience will applaud the movie.

On the contrary, if it is broadcast in a normal theater after the film is released on a large scale, then the applause of the audience is quite rare, and it can even be said that it is almost non-existent.

Of course, as a romantic comedy movie, the number of times the audience laughed at the premiere is still of great reference value. The film crew will even arrange personnel to count the number of times the audience laughed during the entire movie, and report about it the next day. When it comes to news, just multiply it by three and report it, just like this: the premiere of a certain movie has a huge reputation, and the audience burst into laughter nearly 325 times and applauded 31 times.

Numbers must have zeros and whole numbers, so that they appear more real.

After the film was played, the relevant main creators came to the stage to thank the audience for their support, and invited Mr. Lei Jun to come on stage. Lei Jun introduced himself first, and then he asked the audience if there was a Xiaomi in the movie in reality. That kind of mobile phone, is everyone willing to buy it? After receiving an affirmative answer, Lei Jun officially announced to the audience that the mobile phone in the movie does exist in reality, but not now, but ten days later.

Ten days later, the Mi 1 mobile phone will be officially released to the public, and everyone is welcome to come and buy it.

……

The next day, the film was officially screened nationwide on a large scale, and many evaluations of the film were reported one after another.

"The audience burst into laughter 225 times and applauded 21 times. The premiere of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" was overwhelming."

"It's obviously a comedy, but it hit my tears hard. The actor's acting skills are very good, and Tong Liya is impressive."

"It's rare to see qualified domestic love movies. The combination of Tong Liya and Lei Jiayin is very comfortable to watch. The film has a lot of laughs. Also, the easter eggs are very warm. Remember to save them to watch them."

"I got the tickets for nine yuan and nine, and I was excited for a long time after I got them. The movie was unexpectedly good. The audience laughed and applauded many times, and I was ready for a second pass."

"The film is very good, but is this really a script written by Li Mu? The love part is okay, but what is this sci-fi one? This is really Li Muda who wrote "Inception" and "The Martian" The sci-fi part written by the director?"

……

The reputation of the film is good, coupled with the aura of the screenwriter Li Mu, the golden body produced by Huashang Media, and the amazing handwriting of 6000 million votes, it can be said that the box office of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" is destined not to be too bad.

There are already many people discussing on the Internet that Su Lun will become China's fifth female director of the [-] million yuan club.

So far, there are only four female directors in the [-] million yuan club: Jin Yimeng, Hu Wen, Xu Jinglei, and Xue Xiaolu.

The box office of the films of the first three directors with over 1 million yuan is around 1 million yuan, and some of them may actually have a box office of less than 1 million yuan.

In fact, it is also understandable. After all, the "[-] million yuan club" was once a famous honor. The directors who can enter the [-] million yuan club are all well-known domestic directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Li Mu, Shen Junsheng, Feng Xiaogang, Ning Hao, Lu Chuan and so on, these billionaire club directors all have a common feature, that is, they are all men.

It was not until 2009 that the first female director to step into the [-] million yuan club finally appeared in China, that is, Jin Yimeng, the director of "Perfect".

Then in 2010, three appeared in one breath, "Confucius" directed by Hu Wen, "Du Lala's Promotion" directed by Xu Jinglei, and "Beijing Meets Seattle" directed by Xue Xiaolu.

This is a gratifying thing. The female director can also earn [-] million box office. It is very face-saving to say it. Although Hu Wen and Xu Jinglei did not become the first female director with [-] million yuan, the second and third are also very good. .

But the problem lies in the fourth female director of the 1 million yuan club in China. It can be said that this fourth one is completely different from the first three. It is very doubtful whether there will be a box office of 1 million. "Perfect" just happened to have a box office of 7 million. It cannot be said that there is no moisture. Then director Xue Xiaolu directly pulled the female director's box office to the terrifying [-] million level.

It’s almost a matter of a moment, and the idea of ​​a female director of a 1 million-yuan club is no longer popular. They are also female directors of a 7-million-dollar club. Your work can barely take [-] million at the box office, and others’ works can take more than [-] million at the box office. Put these two in a class, does it fit?

On the first day of the film's release, Xu Jinglei, who is also a female director, walked into the theater early, and then she found that during the viewing process, there were indeed many scenes where the audience burst into laughter, but "Cohabitation in Time and Space" has How classic, in fact, can not be said.

Strictly speaking, "Cohabitation in Time and Space" may not be better than "Du Lala's Promotion" directed by her, but she has to admit that the box office of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" will definitely surpass her "Du Lala's Promotion", among other things, the work written by Li Mu is too gimmick, not to mention that this film is said to have invested 6000 million yuan in ticket subsidies.

After walking out of the theater, looking at the smiling couples around her, Xu Jinglei thought: "Maybe in a few days, we will see the news that Su Lun has become the fifth female director of a billion-dollar club in China.

Almost at the same time, Jia Ling also watched "Cohabitation in Time and Space" with her friends. After walking out of the theater, Jia Ling even bragged with her friends who came with her.

"The movie is pretty good, but why do I think I can make it?"

Seeing her friend curl her lips, Jia Ling laughed and teased herself again:
"Let me tell you, don't you believe me. I think I'm missing a chance now. If Huashang Media can also take a fancy to me, if Director Li Mu can give me the same opportunity as Director Su Lun did." chance, then maybe I can make a better movie.”

The friend said: "Okay, stop dreaming, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Jia Ling laughed and said, "Okay!"

"If I really have any ideas in the future, I'll also go to Hua Shang and Mr. Li. I feel that Mr. Li still attaches great importance to talents." Jia Ling thought as she walked.

On the day the film was officially released, Li Mu continued to be busy with the post-editing work of "On the Journey, It's Not Embarrassing". There are still nearly six months before the Chinese New Year, and there is definitely enough time. At the same time, Li Mu did not plan to shoot a new film The movie is over, take a good rest, and at the same time focus on following up the production progress of "Frozen".

It turns out that "Frozen" will not be officially released until 2013 at the earliest, but at present, the progress is faster than previously expected, and the film may be officially released next year.

Before going to bed at night, Li Mu checked the real-time box office of Maoyan, and it was already more than 9000 million. Li Mu knew that the box office of this movie would not be bad, but he still felt that this figure was a bit exaggerated.

It seems that he still underestimated the power of large-scale ticket subsidies. In later generations, when all movies have large-scale ticket subsidies, whoever does not pay will suffer.

But here, when only Li Mu's Hua Shang family is doing large-scale ticket subsidies, and when the film is the second film in the country to conduct large-scale ticket subsidies, the driving effect of ticket subsidies is very obvious.

"It won't be over [-] million on the first day, right?"

Li Mu muttered and got into bed and fell asleep. Liu Yifei was leaning against the bed and reading a book. Li Mu said, "We will shoot "The Hunger Games 2" early next year."

"Okay!" Liu Yifei also put down his book and prepared to go to bed, but he didn't slip into Li Mu's arms as usual.

Li Mu patted the bed next to him with some dissatisfaction, and Liu Yifei got in with a sudden realization, and finally couldn't help muttering: "I really can't stand you, I can't sleep well if I don't hug you."

……

The next morning.

Xu Jinglei suddenly saw a piece of news while browsing the web, and then she couldn't help being taken aback.

News headline: "Su Lun is the fifth female director whose box office has exceeded 5 million yuan."

"Su Lun? The fifth one? Didn't "Cohabitation Over Time and Space" just come out yesterday? Why is she the fifth one?"

At this time, Xu Jinglei suddenly thought of a possibility, and then she was amused by her rather whimsical idea.

"Xu Jinglei, Xu Jinglei, you can really think blindly. You just thought that maybe the box office of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" yesterday and this morning would exceed [-] million? You think too much of Su Lun and "Cohabitation in Time and Space" too much." "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space" has grossed over [-] million in one and a half days, not to mention female directors, how many male directors can do this?"

"Li Mu, Shen Junsheng, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen... It seems that there are no more. These are the only four people in China who can do this."

"What are you thinking Xu Jinglei, even director Zhang Yimou may not have this ability, let alone a new female director?"

Shaking her head, she shook off the absurd thought just now, and then she clicked on the news.

""Cohabitation in Time and Space" broke through 1.14 million box office on the first day of its release, and the official poster was released to celebrate. As of press time, the total box office of the film has reached [-] million yuan."

After reading it, Lao Xu was stupid.

Didn't the box office exceed [-] million in one and a half days?but a day!
In just one day, the box office of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" exceeded [-] million? !

I felt a little wronged suddenly, I finally squeezed into the ranks of female directors of the [-] million yuan club, and finally made a name for myself in the director circle, and gained a lot of reputation, but suddenly, the female director of the [-] million yuan club was worthless, now Even female directors with over [-] million box office on the first day have begun to appear!

"Is this Su Lun really so powerful, or is it that Li Mu can be so powerful with whoever he uses?" Xu Jinglei stood up and walked to the window and thought, "If Director Li Mu invites me to direct a film tomorrow, then Is it possible that like Xue Xiaolu and Su Lun, I can achieve great results that even director Zhang Yimou can't achieve for the time being?"

　Let me report, brothers, the writing has been very painful recently. The protagonist’s pace is too big in the early stage, and it’s hard to get excited in the later stage.
