Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 372: Has Teacher Jiang lost his anger?

Red roses and white roses, what the hell?

This metaphor may seem vivid, but the implication is very bad. This is clearly a story about cheating and cuckoldry.

Out of this mood, Li Tang glanced at Xu Jinglei next to him unhappily. Huh, she can't even be considered a red rose or a white rose. At most, she can be regarded as a black wild rose.

He was surprised by Jiang Qinqin's appearance. At the same time, he was filled with various emotions such as joy, guilt, and worry.

Fortunately, she finally came, and she chose to endure it for the sake of the two of them.And it was precisely this forbearance that made Li Tanghuai feel deeply guilty.At the same time, I was worried that there would be unpleasantness between the two people who met on the red carpet.

"Sister Qinqin, I didn't expect you to come."

Faced with numerous cameras, Fan Xiaopang struggled to maintain his elegant and generous image and said with enthusiasm.

Jiang Qinqin showed her signature shy smile and said: "Li Tang sent me an invitation, of course I want to come and support him!"

One was condescending as a master, and the other was neither arrogant nor humble but soft yet tough, completing a small head-on confrontation.

Xiaopang is no longer the little girl who lost her composure when someone teased her with just a few words, and the expression on her face has not changed at all.At this time, a reporter happened to shout: "Bingbing, Qinqin, look over here!"

She actually took the initiative to hold Jiang Qinqin's hand: "Sister Qinqin, come, let's take pictures together."

Red, passionate and fiery; white, cold and charming.

The reporters' cameras focused on the two of them and took pictures.

The two stayed on the red carpet for a while, then walked over hand in hand, like a pair of good sisters.

Although Jiang Qinqin is nominally an actress in the Beijing Film Studio Actors Troupe, she signed a contract with Aunt Qiong Yao's company very early. She has been filming outside and is not familiar with people in the Beijing circle. Compared with Xiaopang's enthusiasm, She simply said hello to everyone.

The same thing happened when he walked up to Li Tang, with a decent smile and a calm tone: "Brother Li, I wish you a great box office success!"

"Thank you!"

Li Tang looked at her with guilt in his eyes, but it was a pity that he was looking at the blind man with his charming eyes, but she deliberately avoided his gaze, and instead glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing next to him like a little white flower, with a scrutinizing look, until The other party showed a surprised look and then smiled slightly, and took the initiative to reach out and say hello: "Hello!"

"Hello, Teacher Jiang!"

As a transparent person, Gao Yuanyuan didn't dare to call her "Sister Qinqin" loudly. She just felt a little baffled. It seemed like this was the first time she met this person. Why did her eyes look a little scary?
"Bingbing, let's go in." Jiang Qinqin actually greeted Fan Xiaopang when she came.

"Here you go, Sister Qinqin!"

Xiaopang responded, and when he walked past Li Tang, he gave him a proud look, as if to say: How about it, I'm awesome!

Watching the pair of red and white plastic sisters walk into the theater, Li Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was inevitably speechless.

Jiang Qinqin's arrival not only showed her attitude but also implied her dissatisfaction with herself. Xiaopang's performance was finally decent, but his hypocritical interpretation was a bit too much, and his acting skills were still not up to par!

In fact, there were many smart people at the scene, and they could more or less see something fishy. For example, Xu Jinglei had been observing the interaction between the two people and their attitude towards Li Tang. At this time, she approached Li Tang and whispered with a smile: "Brother Li, Okay, I really didn’t see it!”

Li Tang would not be fooled by her temptation, so he looked at her in confusion and said, "What?"

They are both fairies for thousands of years and foxes for thousands of years. Xu Jinglei smiled without saying a word.

Fortunately, director Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi finally appeared in the finale.Director Zhang was dressed quite formally today, wearing a straight black tunic suit, while Xiao Zhang, wearing a beige hollow dress, held the director's arm and looked at the scene, waving hello to the cheering fans from time to time.

After pausing for a moment in front of the reporter's camera, Li Tang led the crowd to greet him.

"Director, thank you for coming!"

"Ziyi, thank you for your hard work!"

It was obvious that Zhang Ziyi came here with the director. After all, his relationship with her hadn't reached this level yet.

The director held his hand and said with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone, let's help each other!"

Just a pun, today he is here to cheer you up, you will have to work harder when "Hero" is released.

Li Tang understood instantly and said hurriedly: "Director, I will obey your orders anyway!"

"Brother Li, congratulations, I wish you a great box office success!"

Although classmate Xiao Zhang is arrogant, after working with "Purple Butterfly", he is still very recognized for his strength.

Then Li Tang introduced his creative team to the director and Zhang Ziyi one by one.

Except for Zhao Xiaoding, the director’s royal photographer, everyone else met the director and Xiao Zhang for the first time.The only hiccup was that when Zhang Baiyi and Zhang Ziyi shook hands, they said shamelessly: "I hope we can cooperate if we have the opportunity!"

Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately smiled with emotional intelligence and said, "I hope Director Zhang can give me this opportunity in the future."

At the same time, people around him also laughed kindly. Obviously, it seems a bit unrealistic for a fledgling film director to cooperate with a popular star.Only Li Tang did not laugh, but looked at Zhang Baibai with encouraging eyes.

How bold a person is, how productive the land is.To be a human being, one must always have dreams.Li Tang wished that all the directors in his company were as motivated as Zhang Baibai.

Generally speaking, today's premiere was quite successful. Many TV stations reported it in the entertainment news that night. In addition to highlighting the scenes of Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, Fan Xiaopang and Jiang Qinqin's red and white beads were also particularly eye-catching. Human eyeball.

The next day, the movie was released in more than a dozen major cities at the same time as scheduled. Li Tang and the creative team visited four cinemas in Beijing starting from the afternoon to interact with the audience.Of course, there were a lot of secrets hidden in the audience, and everyone was touting it. There were people at the scene taking photos and recordings, and sending them to the cooperating online media for publicity in a timely manner.

"Subway to Spring" is a romantic literary film, targeting young people.For this group, online publicity is often more effective.

Then he flew to Shanghai non-stop for road show promotion.Shanghai and Beijing are the two largest cities in China, and they are also the largest ticket warehouses.

After Shanghai, there are Hangzhou, Lanjing, and then westward along the Yangtze River to the four major cities of Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing, and Chengdu.Especially Chongqing, which is the hometown of director Zhang Baibai. Zhang Baibai, who speaks Chongqing dialect, has been greatly welcomed by movie fans, and it really feels like returning to his hometown in glory.

Zhang Baibai was also quite emotional, remembering that he was nothing in his hometown, but he finally got admitted to the Chinese Opera and went to the capital. Now, almost 20 years have passed since he returned to his hometown again with his own works!On October 100, when they returned to the capital after a road show, only Li Tang and Zhang [-] were left.After finishing her trip to Shanghai, Gao Yuanyuan hurriedly returned to the crew of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" in Hengdian. She still had the last few scenes waiting for reshoots.Xu Jinglei still gave her face, and she accompanied Zhang Baibai to Chongqing before leaving after the promotion.

Although there is a clause in the contract that the actors must cooperate with the publicity, their original salary was only a friendly price, and they have traveled so many places with the crew, so they can't ask them to do more.

与此同时，电影上映首周末的票房终于出炉了。九月27、28、29三天的票房220万，仅次于上映第二周的陈大导的《和你在一起》300万的票房。

In fact, these three days are nominally weekends, but due to the National Day Golden Week, the holidays are adjusted, so they are still working days.The real success of the box office starts from September [-]th to the end of the Golden Week on October [-]th.

The total box office of "Subway to Spring" finally exceeded the 700 million mark. This result is surprising enough for a romantic literary film, and it is entirely possible to surpass "The Third Man" in the future, with the final box office exceeding 1000 million. .

As for the biggest competitor during the entire Golden Week, the box office of Director Chen's "With You" has already exceeded the 500 million mark and is making great strides toward [-] million.Although the stamina is a bit weak according to the current trend, this result is enough to make it into the top ten at the annual box office.

As for the investment in "Metro to Spring" itself, even if the box office exceeds 1000 million, it will not be enough to recover the investment.If you add in the income from TV copyrights and audio-visual product copyrights, it is estimated that you can barely recover about [-]%.But don’t forget that there is another big factor—overseas income is not included.

According to the current feedback from MK2, although the overseas copyright income and theater box office of "Go" are not as good as last year's "The Third Man", the overall difference is not big.It is initially estimated that approximately 150 million euros will be recovered by the end of the year.

Based on the current exchange rate between RMB and Euro, which is one to ten, that is a net income of 500 million yuan, and this number is conservative and is likely to be higher.

Of course, only Zeng Jia and Li Tang know this little secret for the time being. Before the money is actually obtained, it is difficult to spread it widely, so as not to arouse jealousy.

However, Yu Dong was outstanding. The box office during the entire golden week exceeded 700 million, which was not only enough to recoup the 200 million previously invested in distribution costs, but also left a surplus of more than 60.Although this money still has to be divided with the producer, this is only the box office for the ten days since the film was released, and there are still more than 20 days of release. The subsequent shares will be net profits, which is likely to exceed their company's Proceeds from "Tianmai Legend" released in the summer.

"Teacher Li, Mr. Zeng, Director Zhang, I'm treating you tonight, we have to celebrate!" Yu Dong shouted as soon as he entered the door.

"I want you to go, I have a lot of things on hand and I can't leave." Zeng Jia said first.

"Don't mention it, Mr. Zeng, you are a great hero, you must go! I also want to toast you a few drinks." Yu Dong said hurriedly.

A movie is not just finished after being shot, it is a systematic project from post-production to review to release.Zeng Jia is definitely a mastermind in this regard.Including the creative team's road show during the release, everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

Yu Dong saw all this, and to be honest, he was particularly envious of Li Tang for having such a capable assistant beside him. The key person was also beautiful, and his tall figure was no less than that of a star.

But what about that?Due to Li Tang's kindness, he could only drool while looking at it.

"Mr. Yu, if you insist on letting me go, then tomorrow Mr. Li will have an interactive activity with movie fans online, or you will come to contact the website tonight?"

"Bound" achieved good box office results during the Golden Week, and now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.According to previous observations and statistics, although the effect of online publicity is not as good as that of TV publicity, it can definitely surpass that of print media.Many young people nowadays, especially white-collar workers, are accustomed to obtaining information on the Internet instead of reading newspapers.

Zeng Jia first proposed the idea, and then hit it off with his partner Zha Lang. Tomorrow, Li Tang will interact with netizens in real time online to discuss the movie "Toward" and answer questions raised by netizens.

Although there are currently many live broadcast rooms for real-time interaction on the Internet, it is the first time for a celebrity to be a guest in a live broadcast room and interact with netizens about the movies that are starring in them.The website had already made a notice in advance, which immediately aroused the enthusiasm of the majority of netizens.

You must know that in the past, audiences and movie fans passively received information, and reporters were the ones asking questions.Now this format allows the audience to take the initiative in asking questions, which is especially popular among young people who are increasingly awakening their sense of autonomy.

As for docking, that’s because for insurance purposes, the company will organize employees below to pretend to be movie fans to enter the live broadcast room to help enliven the atmosphere and set the rhythm, so as to avoid deviations in the real-time interaction.

This is one of the things that Yu Dong particularly admires about Zeng Jia.He works in distribution, and distribution and publicity are connected together. Especially with future development, publicity will play an increasingly important role in film distribution. He currently lacks such talents who are good at film publicity.

"Uh... forget it then." Yu Dong could only say awkwardly.

He was not angry when faced with Zeng Jia's ridicule. After all, the better the publicity, the higher the box office of the movie, and the more profit he would make.No one has trouble with money. As long as there is money to be made, not to mention Zeng Jia's teasing, even if he is asked to kneel down and sing "Conquer", I am afraid he will be happy to do so.

"Teacher Li, what about you?"

Then Yu Dong turned his attention to Li Tang.

"I'll forget it. I'm too tired during this period, so I won't bother with it." Li Tang waved his hand.

Indeed, in the entire road show schedule, he and Xu Jinglei were the most popular.Xu Jinglei withdrew midway, and he was the only one who acted as the main force and persisted to the end.Besides, he would go to Zhalang.com to interact with netizens tomorrow afternoon, and he really didn't want to get drunk at night.

With that said, he pointed at Zhang Baibai, who looked eager to try, and said, "Brother Dong, you should celebrate with Director Baibai. Director Baibai is the soul of our movie, and he is the biggest contributor."

"No, no, no, no, no, the biggest contributor is you, Teacher Li. Without your strong support, this movie would never have been made." Zhang Baibai said humbly.

Just saying that, he winked at Yu Dong and said, "Mr. Yu, what do you mean tonight?"

Yu Dong patted his chest and said unambiguously: "Of course it's a dragon!"

"Okay, a dragon is good."

These two guys sang along without caring about Zeng Jia's presence.This may be due to Zeng Jia's excellent work ability and strong work style, which made them subconsciously ignore Zeng Jia's gender.

Zeng Jia curled her lips and expressed disdain.But the look he looked at his boss was filled with admiration.

She has seen a lot in the industry in the past few years. Regardless of the directors, screenwriters, and big stars, there are five or six of them. In private, there are many people with bad character. What's more, the first thing they do when they go out is to order takeout.In contrast, although my boss has a lot of good friends, he will never mess around outside.

Yu Dong didn't sit down for a while, and then stood up to leave under Zhang Baibai's frequent glances. The two of them went out to look for the show Happy!Li Tang chatted with Zeng Jia again about tomorrow's online interaction.

"Brother, do you want to have a box lunch with us?" Zeng Jialin said to the aisle.

The company often works overtime, and the meals are delivered from a newly opened restaurant diagonally opposite the company. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is clean and hygienic, and the food is basically the same every week, and the taste is good.

Li Tang pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said: "Forget it, I have something else to do later!"

Whatever happened to the boss, as long as Zeng Jia didn't tell him anything about it, he could basically guess that it was just a matter between him and a few good friends.

Although she was used to this kind of thing, she always felt a little uncomfortable.Walking outside the door, I took a deep breath and tried my best to put this little discomfort in my mind behind me. At the same time, I warned myself not to think too much, because work comes first.

Watching Zeng Jia go out, Li Tang picked up his phone and opened the address book to find Jiang Qinqin's name. He thought for a while without pressing the dial button, then found Xiao Tang's number and dialed it.

"Hey, Xiao Tang, has Teacher Jiang calmed down?"
