Chapter 247 Shark Beach Premiere
"Mimi's "Shark Beach" seems to have a poor pre-sale box office. What do you think is the reason?"

One day in early July, Yang Liu, a female college student, posted a question on Yang Mi Bar.

She has liked Yang Mi since she was a freshman, and now it has been more than three years since she officially became a "bee".

Last month, "Painted Skin 2", which Yang Mi participated in, was a big hit at the box office. Excited, Yang Liu posted a post on the post bar praising the box office appeal of fans, but was stunned.

"The success of "Painted Skin 2" has a dime relationship with Yang Mi? Don't you all go to Zhou Xun, Zhao Gushen and Chen Kun to watch this movie? I find you fans are really funny, you can say everything The success is due to my idol, I heard that next month's "Shark Beach" of your Mimi will be starring in her, let's wait until the film is a success before making it popular at the box office!"

The words were really infuriating, but Yang Liu didn't have the confidence to refute at that time, what else should I say?Said that "Shark Beach" will be a big hit next month?Who can guarantee?Even if I dare to pat my chest and promise it, it's not convincing that the movie hasn't been released!Air-to-air is boring, so it's better to wait for the box office results of "Shark Beach" to come out and then go back.

Yang Liu is very confident in the box office performance of "Shark Beach", but this confidence does not come from confidence in the idol himself, but confidence in Li Mu, the screenwriter of "Shark Beach".

This is a screenplay written by Li Mu. Since 2004, Li Mu's scripts have not had particularly poor grades!
Could it be that Li Mu just stumbled so quickly that our "Mimi" caught up with him?
Impossible, "Mimi" is not so unlucky, "Mimi" is the most beautiful, even God will keep it!

However, some time ago, "Shark Beach" officially opened online pre-sales, and as a result, it was revealed that the pre-sale box office of "Shark Beach" seemed to be poor.

On the Internet, the movie tickets for "Shark Beach" are pre-sold half a month in advance, and ordinary audiences will not buy tickets so long in advance, so it seems okay to have a lower box office for the time being, but it is also pre-sold half a month in advance Last month, the pre-sale data of "Painted Skin 2" in the same period was much stronger than that of "Shark Beach". Some netizens posted the pre-sale curves of the two movies separately. about half.

Now Yang Liu couldn't sit still anymore, so she rushed to the post bar to inquire about the situation.

"Actually, it's not bad. At present, the pre-sale data is indeed about half of that of "Painted Skin 2". The introduction is a movie supported by Mimi alone, just look at the cast lineup of the two movies, "Shark Beach" can have half the box office of "Painted Skin 2"."

"Although I am a fan of Mimi, I still have to say that the two films are not comparable. Even if they are not comparable to the cast, they still lose compared to the film "Shark Beach". The first day of "Painted Skin 2" is shown on Maoyan Movie The film schedule is 80.8%, and "Shark Beach" is expected to be 50.1%, the difference between the two is too far."

"Beforehand, I'm not a fan of Yang Mi, but I really like her, but isn't it recognized that Yang Mi's acting skills are very average? Plus her voice, can she really support a shark movie by herself? Are there other A movie starring an actor, Yang Mi is really eye-catching when she is a vase, and she alone can support a movie? Sorry, I really don't like it!"

"I'm so stupid, it's not enough to have about half of "Painted Skin 2"? "Painted Skin 2" has a high probability of breaking 8 million, and half of it will be 2 million or [-] million. Yang Mi surfs the waves alone and meets a big shark. The box office of [-] to [-] million, isn’t that enough? I don’t think it will be half of the box office of “Painted Skin [-]”. Fans tend to say that the movie is very strong in the early stage, but then withered in the later stage, and “Shark Beach” may be the same.”

"Actually, "Shark Beach" is not a very good resource. The investment is so little, and there are no big names to help out. Yang Mi's conditions are good, but it's a pity that no one has Liu Yifei's good husband! What kind of resources does Liu Yifei have? "Hurricane Rescue" Cooperated with Cheng Long, "The King of Kung Fu" cooperated with Cheng Long and Li Lianhe, "The Doomsday Collapse" cooperated with Cheng Long and Yang Ziqiong, "Inception" cooperated with the Oscar winner and actress, and "The Hunger Games" North American readers almost Don’t worry, I heard that her husband Li Mu has arranged a new movie, and it’s still a collaboration with Cheng Long—what is a top resource? This is it!”

"I can't help it. Who will let people choose their husbands with good eyesight?"

"What a fart! It's just good luck to get there first. Li Mu is a Tianhu when he debuted. It takes vision to choose Li Mu? Anyone who is not blind will definitely choose!"

"Don't worry about my husband, Li Mu hasn't married her yet. If you ask me, everyone has a chance!"

Yang Liu was suddenly very glad that she didn't go back directly some time ago. After reading so many answers from netizens on the post bar, she also wanted to understand that if the box office of "Shark Beach" could be half that of "Painted Skin 2", it would indeed be very good. At that time, she If you were impulsive and replied that the box office of "Shark Beach" may not be worse than that of "Painted Skin 2", then it will probably be slapped in the face after more than half a month.

Fortunately, fortunately, she was forced to hold back the breath at that time.

In fact, they are all played by Yang Mi, what is there to compare?Regardless of whether "Painted Skin 2" or "Shark Beach" is a big hit at the box office, aren't our honeys all big winners? !
Thinking about it this way, I felt much better.

After figuring it out, Yang Liu no longer struggled with it, but found the official trailer of "Shark Beach" that was just released a while ago and watched it again.

In the trailer, Yang Mi is wearing a sexy bikini and skillfully surfing on the sea. The picture is exciting and beautiful.Suddenly, the shark with its bloody mouth wide open glimpsed under the sea surface, and its sharp teeth made people shudder.

Yang Mi nervously calculated the distance from the shark and the buoy at sea, and finally she resolutely chose to fight desperately. The race with the terrifying shark was not only a test of swimming skills, but also a test of courage.

He boarded the buoy at a critical moment, but was immediately knocked down by a shark. Yang Mi dived rapidly under the water, and the shark with sharp teeth behind him was getting closer and closer. Seeing that Yang Mi would die at the bottom of the sea with just one mouthful. Feeling overwhelmed.

After reading it, Yang Liu let out a sigh of relief.

This trailer made her change her previous understanding of Yang Mi. Although she had always liked Yang Mi very much, she still felt that the TV series with beautiful appearance was the most suitable for her. She did not expect her to act in a shark movie. It is also remarkable and not in the play, which is very rare.

Just looking at the comments below, it seems that the positive reviews account for the vast majority, but many people also expressed concerns.

"Trailer looks good, kind of interesting."

"It's very exciting, but I'm a little worried that the essence is all in the trailer."

"It's hard to say whether the movie will be good or not, but Yang Mi has a really good figure."

Yang Liu has figured it out, so why care about the box office?Shouldn't the important thing be that idols are always improving and trying different roles?

The vase can act, solo dramas can act, beauties in ancient costumes can act, modern beauties can act, the most powerful thing is that the heroine of disaster movies can also act, big honey honey is already powerful enough, the box office is just not comparable to "" "Painted Skin 2", even if it is only [-] to [-] million, it is very good, after all, the whole movie is supported by her alone.

When the film is released, go to the theater to support it!

……

In July, the TV series "Zhen Huan's Biography" released the first version of the makeup photos, but the result was a hornet's nest, and fans of the original work completely quit.

In fact, there were rumors on the Internet before that Chen Jianbin was selected as the actor for the emperor. At that time, everyone was a little worried, but they all felt a little lucky.

Has Hua Shang's filming over the years disappointed everyone?It seems that there is no such thing at all!

So can Hua Shang arrange for a middle-aged uncle like Chen Jianbin to play the handsome emperor?

Certainly not!

Rumors must be rumors!

As a result, as soon as the makeup photo was released, my good guy, it's not just Chen Jianbin playing the emperor?Huanhuan also used Sun Li!
And that's not all, look at the makeup photos of these two people, Sun Li has bangs, and Chen Jianbin is rustic, even a little wretched.

This moment caused an uproar.

For a while, comments about "soil", "old", "uncle and emperor", and "aunt and concubine" flooded the entire Internet.

"No matter how sad it is, I never let a rural old man play the male lead! I absolutely don't accept Chen Jianbin to play Xuan Ling!"

"I'm begging Hua Shang to recast the role. I don't want my aunt Sun Li to play Huanhuan!"

"Oh my mother, aunt concubine, uncle emperor, ruffian prince, is Hua Shang going to shoot "The Most Beautiful Sunset Red"?"

"Hua Shang's dramas have always been cast by gods. I didn't expect that this time it would fall short of the standard. I think it's probably the director Zheng Xiaolong's fault. Hua Shang's casting was excellent before, but Li Mu's casting was excellent, but Li Mu's biggest shortcoming It’s just that I respect the director’s opinion too much, so I begged Director Li Mu to come out and choose the cast himself!”

"Indeed, I heard that the director of "To Youth" Li Mu decided to choose a new actor Jiang Shuying to play one of the heroines, but the director and producer said that they would play four young actresses together. In the end, Li Mu respected the director and producer Compromise, newcomer Jiang Shuying was eliminated!"

"Um, upstairs, in fact, replace that so-called shadow person with the new Fourth Little Huadan—it's really possible!"

"Resolutely resist the casting of the Three Views, and ask Li Mu to respond!"

"Isn't Zhou Xun playing Zhen Huan, and Nie Yuan playing the emperor? Isn't Nie Yuan's Yongzheng in "Scary Step by Step" pretty good? Why can't you continue to use Nie Yuan?"

"Why not let Yi Fei play Huan Huan? Bai Bing looks pretty good, right? Hua Shang guards so many beauties, why choose Sun Li?"

Li Mu was filming in the United States when the casting turmoil of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was aroused. Seeing that the situation intensified, even Chen Jianbin was publicly shamed by the audience for this casting when he attended a certain event. As a last resort, Li Mu responded publicly .

He commented on his Weibo account:

"Sun Li is the No.1 choice for Zhen Huan in my heart, Chen Jianbin is the No.1 choice for the emperor in my heart, and Jiang Xin is the No. Give the actors some time, give director Zheng Xiaolong some time, and give Hua Shang some time, time will prove that there is no problem with the casting."

After Li Mu publicly responded, the opposition from netizens was not as fierce as before. Although everyone still did not approve of the casting, but now even Li Mu said that the casting was suitable, and many people inevitably began to waver.

After all, Li Mu's influence is there.

The casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can only be regarded as a small episode. The most important thing for Huashang Media in July is the release of "Shark Beach".

In early July, Yang Mi participated in several interview programs such as "Very Quiet Distance" to promote the new movie. At the same time, the film crew released the second and third promotional videos one after another.

Although Li Mu is far away abroad, he still accepted a video interview with domestic reporters. In the interview, Li Mu praised Guo Fan's professionalism as a director, and also said how Guo Fan praised Yang Mi's dedication, how dangerous and hard it was to shoot in the sea, and Yang Mi's How the company performs impresses the company.

In fact, filming in the sea is hard work, but it is not dangerous. The safety measures of the crew must be in place. Filming scenes in the sea is at least much safer than filming explosion scenes, but audiences and fans love to hear these. For the film's box office, Of course, Li Mu has to say something that the audience loves to hear.

At the end of July, the popularity of "Shark Beach" has obviously risen. The film crew took advantage of the opportunity to hold a premiere in Beijing. Li Mu did not attend because he was filming in the United States, but he still recorded a video to encourage Yang Mi and other film creators.

On July 7, the movie "Shark Beach" was finally officially released worldwide.

……

On the morning of July 7th, in Yangcheng, at the gate of a theater.

"willow?"

Just as Yang Liu was about to enter, she heard several voices calling her name at the same time behind her.

When she turned her head, she realized that she had met her high school classmates, and there were five boys standing behind her, some were tall and some were short, some were fat and some were thin, and some were wearing thick glasses.

"Isn't it? Watching a movie alone?"

"What a coincidence, how many years do you think we haven't seen each other?"

"It's been a while, at least two years? What a coincidence, what a coincidence!"

"I haven't seen her for two years and she is getting more and more beautiful. She is indeed the class flower in our class."

"What movie are you watching?"

"I'm "Shark Beach", how about you?"

"How many of us? Haven't bought a ticket yet, but we agreed to watch it together before we came here—"

"What a coincidence, the few of us also made an appointment to watch "Shark Beach" together. By the way, what's your seat number?"

……

Just now one of the boys was going to say that they made an appointment to watch "Four Famous Detectives" together, but before they could say anything, one of the five boys named Gao Yue interrupted the conversation.

This boy named Gao Yue obviously has a little interest in Yang Liu, so he changed his mind temporarily and wanted to watch "Shark Beach".

When Yang Liu heard this, she immediately felt better.Firstly, all her classmates like Yang Mi's new movie as much as herself, which made her feel like she finally found an organization; secondly, all five of her classmates came to watch "Shark Beach", so the box office of "Shark Beach" was not high. Just raised a few hundred yuan?
Although it’s a drop in the bucket, it’s better to increase than decrease, right?

After entering the ticket hall, Yang Liu first went to the automatic ticket booth to pick up the tickets. Gao Yue accompanied Yang Liu to pick up the tickets, and then paid for one of the boys to line up for the tickets for the five of them.

During the discussion, the other four boys took the opportunity to tease him in a low voice:

"I said, Gao Yue, we agreed to watch "Four Famous Catchers" together, but you changed your mind when you met an old classmate. Are you sorry for us?"

""Shark Beach" is starring Yang Mi alone. Yang Mi's looks can only be considered average, and her acting skills are terrible. What's so good about it?"

""Shark Beach" is a bad movie at first glance. Watching a bad movie is equivalent to suffering. Brothers are willing to suffer for you. With such a big sacrifice, don't you say that it's the past?!"

Gao Yue grinned and said, "Why don't you four watch "Four Famous Catchers"? I think "Shark Beach" must be good, anyway, I definitely want to watch "Shark Beach"!"

"Do you think "Shark Beach" is good-looking? I think you think people are good-looking, right?"

"I don't even want to expose you!"

"Don't worry, we won't bother you."

""Shark Beach" is good-looking, and today my buddies are going to watch "Shark Beach"!"

It seems that the other four boys are determined to be light bulbs.
