The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 346
"The game "Extreme Escape" was launched, and many players gave it a nine-point praise."

""If You Love" was being advertised repeatedly, and Wu Zongxian was moved to tears."

"Nicholas Tse cares about cancer fans, and will accompany them to watch "The Great Sage"."

"Urban random survey, "Extreme Escape" is the most anticipated by the audience."

""If Love" was promoted by Dongjing, Zhou Xun was praised as cute."

"Old Mouzi returns with love, and "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" is sincere and touching."

"The public welfare activity "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" is officially launched. Thirty riders will travel around China to send love to the elderly everywhere."

……

Come December, the promotion of several Lunar New Year movies is more frequent.

"Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles", which was relatively quiet before, directly amplified its tricks and even organized a charity event. The riders they organized would send gifts to nursing homes in that city every time they came to a city.

It received a lot of praise for a while. Although it has not been released yet, many media praised this movie as a work of conscience.

"Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" surpassed the other three movies in the limelight.

This is called spending a lot of money to do big things.

With so much money thrown down, the sound is still loud.

On the side of Fenghua Film and Television Company, Li Shengyao sent Wang Xuan away, then closed the office door, poured himself a cup of tea, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Wang Xuan just came to report work, and the post-production of "Extreme Escape" has been completed.

Regarding "Extreme Escape", everything has been completed, and the next thing is to wait for the screening.

At this moment, the phone rang, and it was Han Sanping's call.

"Director Li, have you read the news?"

"No, what's the matter?"

Li Shengyao would watch the news when he had time at night, but he usually didn't watch it during the day.

He subconsciously looked out the window, and found that the sky was dark at this time, and the sky was covered with clouds, as if it was going to snow.

"Some media broke the news that Nicholas Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi got back together, and now this news is spreading everywhere."

Han Sanping's tone was a little speechless, ""The Great Sage of Love" has added a lot of news."

Li Shengyao curled his lips, he thought it was something.

The reunion of Nicholas Tse and Zhang Bo is indeed big news, the two will get married next September.

Regardless of whether they deliberately chose this time to release the news this time, "Love Epilepsy" can indeed get a lot of traffic.

But this is not what Li Shengyao cares about.

Unless he broke up with Chen Xun now and married a popular actress like Jian Bingbing, he would definitely not be as popular as others.

It's pointless to compare.

The publicity seems to be incomparable, and now he is concerned about whether such popularity will affect the filming of "Extreme Escape".

"Director Han, can you guarantee the schedule of "Extreme Escape"?"

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Now that "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" and "The Great Sage of Love" are too popular, they may not come with China Film this time. China Film's theaters will definitely have no problem, and other theaters will not be able to say. .”

Usually, other theater chains are looking at the arrangement of China Film, and they will follow according to the arrangement of China Film.

But when it comes to the New Year's Eve, that's not necessarily the case. After all, you have to make money, so you must give priority to movies that your local audience likes.

For example, theaters in Guangdong Province have always given preferential treatment to Hong Kong films, and will give Hong Kong films a relatively high ranking.

In the north, Hong Kong films will be much lower.

Li Shengyao understood what Han Sanping meant, "Director Han, as long as there are enough Chinese movie theaters to schedule films."

"Director Li, do we want to make a big news?"

Han Sanping is still obsessed with it, always thinking about making big news.

He should have wanted to increase the investment share before, but now he should be more worried, afraid that "Extreme Escape" would not be able to beat several other movies.

Li Shengyao thought about it, but still refused.

In his previous life, these few movies also made big news, but the box office was not bad. The audience at this time is more rational than ten years later.

There's no need to follow along, it's almost done.

……

Time flies, and as the Lunar New Year holiday approaches, the promotion of several movies becomes more fierce.

Today Nicholas Tse and Zhang Bozhi appeared at the airport in couple outfits.

Tomorrow "If You Love" will be picked up by that foreign film company again, and they will pay a lot of money to buy it.

The day after tomorrow, Zhang Weiping announced that he would hold a thousand-table banquet in Yunan. All tourists are welcome to come and enjoy the delicious food. Passengers will also have the opportunity to get free movie tickets for "Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles".

Relatively speaking, "Extreme Escape" is much quieter here. What is special about them is that they have a game with the same name.

This news had some enthusiasm at the beginning, and it did attract many players. The number of visits on the first day exceeded one million.

But compared to several other movies, it is still much quieter.

This morning, Deng Chao and Li Lianhua came to Fenghua Film and Television Company together.

The two of them have already turned down all the work for the next month, and they will fully cooperate with the promotion of the crew of "Extreme Escape".

However, compared to before and after filming, the confidence of the two of them is obviously not so high at this time.

Deng Chao's eyes were filled with worry, doubt, and uncertainty.

Li Lianhua was slightly better, but there were still many doubts in her eyes.

Two people should be wondering why the other three movies are so hyped and "Extreme Escape" is so quiet.

Li Shengyao has a positive attitude towards the acting attitude and acting skills of the two. He thinks that both of them are good actors and actors who can continue to work together.

After thinking about it, he planned to have a heart-to-heart chat with the two of them.

"Are you two wondering, why don't I try my best to promote "Extreme Escape"?"

Deng Chao was a little embarrassed, but Li Lianhua nodded slightly.

Now there is a voice outside, that is, Li Shengyao's "Let's Punch, Dad" has been very successful, and he doesn't care much about the box office of "Extreme Escape".

The competition for the Lunar New Year film is fierce, and the other three films have their own highlights. Lee Sheng Yew has now given up "Extreme Escape".

Li Lianhua usually didn't dare to ask, but now that Li Shengyao took the initiative to speak, she naturally wanted to hear Li Shengyao's answer.

"The box office of a movie is good or bad, in the end it depends on whether it meets the audience's aesthetics, whether it can resonate with the audience, and whether it can trigger a movie-watching craze."

High-quality movies do not necessarily have a good box office. "The Shawshank Redemption" is an obvious example.

And poor quality does not necessarily mean poor box office, and several "predecessors" after more than ten years illustrate the problem.

It is easy for ordinary people to follow blindly.

In the Mainland in 2005, the living conditions of ordinary people were not so good, and everyone's consumption was relatively rational.

Li Shengyao felt that the quality of the movie was more important at this time.

He paused, and then said: ""Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles" is a literary film, and it can get 3000 million if it is exhausted."

""If Love" is a musical, when did you hear that "Music" in the Mainland can get a high box office, this movie is the same as "Riding a Thousand Miles" and broke through 3000 million."

""The Great Sage of Love" is called the sequel to "A Chinese Journey to the West", but if you think about it carefully, can anyone other than Zhou Xingxing act in a movie like "A Chinese Journey to the West"? Hong Kong Island has praised several people, and no one can act in a nonsensical movie. .”

"The more "Love Madness" leans towards "A Chinese Journey to the West", the faster it will die. This movie should have a good box office in Guangdong Province, but the mainland is at most 5000 million, and it is definitely not as good as "Mythology" and "Seven Swords". "

"Our "Extreme Escape" is funny and exciting, and there is no need to worry about these movies."

"There is absolutely no need to spend too much money on publicity. The current level is enough. Believe me, even if "Extreme Escape" can't exceed [-] million, it is definitely better than the other three movies."

Deng Chao and Li Lianhua opened their mouths when they heard the words. Neither of them thought that Li Shengyao underestimated the other three movies.

This……

Is it really?

Director Li is not a fool, is he?
