China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 87 Blocking, the Chinese are not worthy of science fiction? (third change)

With a box office of over [-] million, this achievement has been ranked in the top five in the history of domestic film.

The key is that such results only took 12 days!
Next, "Source Code" will be released for at least 18 days. If the schedule and piracy can maintain the status quo, the box office of [-] million is not a dream!

That's [-] million!

It is definitely an existence that has never been seen before or since!

Guorong opened the champagne on the spot, and poured it directly on Lu Pingan's head.

Then shouted: "Peace, happy birthday!"

At this time, the rest of the main creators realized that today is still Lu Ping'an's birthday!

So in the middle of the night, a group of people don't have to sleep, pour champagne!Give Lu Pingan a bath!

That night, accompanying reporter Feng Ke posted the celebration photos on the Internet.

Then it attracted the blessings of many netizens.

""Source Code" looks great!"

"Director Ping An is only 20 years old?!"

"My brother is so gentle, he actually remembers other people's birthdays."

"Director Ping'an is actually super handsome!"

"Happy Birthday Director Ping An, I wish you a safe year!"

"They have a good relationship, I really want to join them."

"..."

"Source Code" set a record, and the relationship between the crew was warm and harmonious.

These are all things that can gain favor and increase popularity.

For a moment, the industry was envious of envy, envy of envy.

And as the news spread, more people knew the transcript of "Source Code".

What? Breaking through 12 million in [-] days!
What? 20 year old director? !
What movie is so awesome? !
The audience at this time has never seen such a posture.

Breaking through 12 million in [-] days, good guy.

This movie must be very good!

So more people walked into the cinema.

Then, everyone went through the same movie-watching journey.

Boy, is this going to explode? !
Well, let's die!
Guorong is so handsome!

This movie is awesome!
nice!

Word of mouth, fermented again!
The box office also remained strong in the slow period after the Golden Week.

As of October 10, the domestic box office of "Source Code" exceeded 20 million.

At the same time, after three weeks of Hong Kong's release, "Source Code" has officially exceeded 3500 million, and it is basically no problem to exceed 4500 million in the future.

Public opinion agrees that it is no problem for "Source Code" to exceed 2 million in the future, and the suspense is whether it will exceed 5000 million.

And this depends on piracy control and whether there is an extension key.

The latter is not a problem at all, the problem is the former.

Fortunately, it seems that the control of piracy is not bad. It has been released for 20 days. Although there are also pirated copies on the market, the disc dealers are already crazy. They are staring at them and suing one by one. .

You know, this is the era of blockbusters.

It is an important moment of the domestic film that the top is staring at.

Borrowing the lines from "Out of the Sky" is: the history of Chinese movies will be divided into two parts in the second half of this year!
At such an important time, the movie is still in its release period, and whoever dares to make a mistake will have an ending!

And many pirates can't think of it.

Didn't you turn a blind eye to it before?

How did you get caught?
"Brother Wang, please do me a favor. I'm also a first-time offender."

"Fuck you, how many times is it? If you really want to do it, you can't choose a good time, and you will be blind!"

The police car whistles, and a song of tears behind bars is sung
. . . . . . .

At the Beijing New Picture Company at this time, Zhang Weiping frowned as he watched the reports on the Internet.

I just went out not long ago.

Once you come back, how come the sky has changed?

Good guy, 1.6 million!
This has exceeded the third-tier expected goal he set for "Hero".

The media are bragging that the quality of "Source Code" is really good, which makes him a little confused.

How good does it have to be to blow like this?
Spent a lot of money?
It doesn't feel possible either.

He decided to go and see for himself.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Weiping put on a peaked cap and entered the theater.

I bought a ticket for 50 yuan and sat in the last row of the theater.

He felt that the money was spent unjustly, and many people in the theater thought the same way as him.

However, after the movie opened, everyone didn't think so.

Death and life, 8-minute loops, explosions, and super classic freeze-frame shots.

9 time travels, each time can hook the audience's heartstrings.

Until the final happy ending of the movie, everyone felt like drinking rain in summer, feeling refreshed.

"It's a good movie."

"The special effects are not inferior to Hollywood."

"Lu Ping'an is really powerful."

"Guo Rong is really handsome..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhang Weiping felt as if he was facing a big enemy.

To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to this movie at first.

What does he think no matter how good domestic science fiction movies are?
He had seen some of Lu Ping An's movies before.

How should I put it, the short film has no reference significance.

There are only two novels.

One is a drama, which is okay, and the other is just boring.

But now, it seems that Lu Pingan feels like a sudden explosion to him.

With such a foreign technique and such a wonderful script, is this really something a Nortel student can do? !
Very good, very powerful!

This is the truth.

Zhang Weiping admitted.

but.

Still have to do something!
He knew that the quality of "Hero" did not exceed "Source Code" much in his opinion, and even after it was released, movie fans would even feel that "Hero" was not as good as "Source Code".

But he also knew.

Word of mouth is actually not the most important thing in the context of this project.

The most important thing is how to use the various resources in hand to push "Hero" to the "No. [-]" position!

The domestic film with the largest copyright transaction volume.

The first domestic film to break [-] million.

The domestic film with the highest box office in domestic film history.

It even has to be the top domestic and even Chinese-language movie at the overseas box office!
When people in the future think of the first decade of the 21st century, the first domestic movie that comes to mind must be "Hero"!
The value of "Heroes" lies in "No. [-]". If you can't achieve "No. [-]", it is meaningless to spend so much effort!

Now "Source Code" is about to exceed 2.5 million. After the release is postponed in the next two months, it may exceed 3 million or even [-] million!
The third target of "Hero" is 1.5 million, the second target is 2 million, and the first target is 2.5 million.

Now "Source Code" is going directly to exceed 2.5 million.

How do you make "Hero" play?
The film scheduling support is similar, and the theater coverage of "Source Code" is slightly worse.

The quality of the opponent is good, and the original schedule advantage of the Lunar New Year file may not be able to widen the gap now.

The advantage of "Hero" is only the ticket price, and the remaining ten percent, which "Source Code" does not involve in film scheduling and theater coverage.

Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Zhang Weiping to widen the gap at the box office.

In his opinion, since "Hero" wants to become the No. [-] box office, it cannot win by a narrow margin, it must win by a big advantage!

So after thinking for a while, he called Lao Mouzi directly:
"Old Zhang, Lu Ping'an's "Source Code" may exceed 2.5 million, we must not let him do it!"

Zhang Weiping's tone was firm.

The old Mouzi on the other end of the phone frowned after hearing this: "What are you going to do?"

"I have an idea"

After a while, Lao Mouzi sighed and said, "You're going to offend people like this!"

Zhang Weiping didn't take it seriously: "Scores are the most important thing, Lao Zhang, you listen to me, this time it's right! If you don't do it, it will be too late!"

Lao Mouzi still wanted to talk, so Zhang Weiping hung up the phone and continued to make calls until four or five o'clock in the morning before he fell asleep. He woke up a few hours later and started working.
. . . . . . . .

On October 10, "Source Code" exceeded 25 million, one step away from 1.9 million.

On the same day, at the China World Hotel, the domestic audio-visual copyright of "Hero" VCD and DVD started at 80 yuan, and was hammered at 1980 million yuan, 200 million more than the original time and space, setting a record for the domestic feature film audio-visual copyright auction.

For a time, the industry and the whole society were shocked!

The direction of public opinion is highly consistent:
""Hero" deserves to be the number one blockbuster!"

"It's hard to imagine, "Source Code" only has 150 million, and only "Hero" can do 2000 million!"

""Hero" is coming!"

"..."

With such enthusiasm for copyright auctions, Lu Ping An noticed something unusual.

Because the video copyright auction of "Hero" seems to be much earlier than the original time and space.

Is it possible that "Hero" needs to be upgraded?

Don't wait to think too much, on the 28th, the hero "Origin" will be released.

"Origin" is a 3-hour documentary, which records the whole process of "Hero" from preparation to shooting to finalization.

And its listing also attracted the attention of the whole society in the first time.

Because "Origin" is not only released as a DVD, but also aired on TV stations. It is said that the new screen paid 1000 million advertising fees for this!

So far, the propaganda offensive of "Heroes" has been launched.

The industry has speculated that "Hero" may be released in November!

Just as he was thinking about it, Deng Chao of the main creative team ran over with a newspaper: "Guide Lu, look."

Lu Pingan took the newspaper, which was a local newspaper in Wuhan.

There was an article on it with the title: "Chinese face, Western-style structure, "Source Code" copied Hollywood, how can it be called a domestic blockbuster?"

Apparently it's a hack.

Bao Qiang, who ran the road show together, said angrily: "Brother, they are too much!"

Before Lu Pingan could speak, Wu Guohua also called, saying that there had been a lot of negative comments about "Source Code" these days.

Look online, sure enough.

"Without any Chinese taste, is the success of "Source Code" the success of domestic films, or the success of Hollywood?"

"The significance of blockbuster films lies in cultural transmission, not box office"

“A western style feast.”

Read these reports.

Lu Pingan suddenly felt that he had returned to 20 years later.

It seems that only at that time the media would pay so much attention to national culture.

Shouldn't everyone be xenophobia now?
The point is that the news popped up all at once.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

As for the reason, Lu Pingan didn't even need to guess.

It is definitely done by the interest groups on the side of "Heroes".

Even if it’s not, you have to admit it is!

"Zhang Weiping is in a hurry!."

The person in charge of the light side who followed the main creator to run the road show laughed.

"Hero" is coming in a menacing manner, and the high promotional campaign will never start on the day of its release. It will definitely unfold before then. "Source Code" is not enough to watch in front of it.

But so what?
"Source Code" has now reached 1.92 million!

This and the highest goal set at the beginning have exceeded nearly 5000 million!
Even if you let me withdraw the file now, we can go home with drums and gongs to celebrate the new year!

So what's the use of doing this?

Mr. Guangguang Wang and Mr. Huayi Wang looked at each other and laughed.

fight.

Play strategically to win.

The rest, whatever they want!
"Ping An, what do you think?"

Guorong asked from the side.

　If the article does not match the title, don't be surprised, because it has been revised and will not affect reading.
