The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 135 Assembly Number

On December 12, the winter solstice just passed.

It was frighteningly cold, and the north wind howled, rolling the fallen leaves like a wild horse and raging in mid-air.

On the eighth day of Feng Xiaogang's promotional team, everyone moved to Maoshan.

According to legend, a 12-year-old trumpet player died and was buried at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.

But his heroic spirit guarded this place and refused to leave, still persistently performing his duties.

Even today, whenever the firecrackers explode, the heroic spirits sound the bugle as if they heard the gunshots of battle.

In fact, the local geographical environment is quite special.

After Feng Xiaogang heard about this incident, he felt that it had a similar relationship with the plot of "Assembly Number", so he hurriedly brought the team over to ask for a prize.

"Crackling!"

Maoshan, in front of the monument.

Dozens of long whips hung with thousands of rings were spread all over the sides, and then a lighter was used to light it, red dust flew around, and dust and smoke filled the sky.

Lu Yuan stood in the middle of the line with a tired face, coughing slightly as he was choked by the pungent smell.

Surrounding the monument were residents who came from nearby to hear the news, and of course there were many journalists among them.

Huayi's promotion of this film is extremely strong.

Wang Zhongjun told the media that 20.00% of the box office would be used for publicity.

Before the premiere, there was a celebration for tens of thousands of people in Beijing Workers' Gymnasium.

Since the premiere on the 20th, everyone can be described as a carpet of publicity. In just 8 days, it has traveled to more than ten cities across the country.

He was still in the capital in the morning, and arrived in Shanghai in the afternoon, and everyone appeared in Zhejiang Province early the next morning.

When I arrived in Spring City the day before yesterday, it happened to be foggy for several days, the plane was delayed for 5 hours, the originally scheduled press conference was cancelled, and the audience meeting was forced to be postponed.

After getting off the plane, everyone anxiously went straight to the Jinhua Store of Wanda Studios, the first stop to meet fans.

Due to the traffic jam on the way, Feng Xiaogang was worried that the audience would wait too long, so he got out of the car and led the crowd to rush to the scene for two stops on the Second Ring Road.

In addition to the hard-working publicity of the crew, CCTV also supported it.

On the second night of the premiere, CCTV spent more than one minute in the "News Network" for the first time to promote "Assembly".

Shocking, this is the only Chinese New Year blockbuster that has won this honor so far.

Not to mention the first of its kind, at least it was rare in the past.

Zhang Yimou also enjoyed similar treatment in "The Golden Armor in the City", but it was on the Six Princesses channel.

Logically speaking, if the promotion of "Assembly Number" is broadcast by the Sixth Princess, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, it belongs to the movie channel, so naturally we need to pay attention to the blockbuster Chinese New Year.

However, the "News Network", which has attracted the attention of the international community, has clearly focused on promoting this film. Apart from being shocking, it is more of a recognition of the main theme.

Despite the support of CCTV, everyone still struggled to promote it.

The fundamental reason for this is that Feng Xiaogang encountered a lot of pressure this time.

Part of it comes from the failure of his transformation in the last "Night Banquet", and part of it is from the fierce pursuit of competitors in the same period.

It is talking about "Certificate of Fame" starring Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua and many other big names.

This movie was released a week earlier than "Assembly", and the results are also very eye-catching, and it is about to pass 2 million.

In the past few days after the premiere, Lu Yuan and others traveled around the country, exhausted.

Fortunately, the box office has seen a gratifying rise. On the eighth day of its release, it successfully exceeded 1.2 million. The increase in the past few days is also very stable, around 1600 million per day.

The investment in "Assembly" reached 8000 million, and it is reasonable to need at least 2.4 million to pay back.

At the premiere, Feng Xiaogang uttered bold words to the media, and the box office broke at least 2 million.

According to the current trend, it is not a big problem for the box office to break 2 million. It remains to be seen whether it can make money back.

The box office of [-] million in the Mainland is not a small number these years.

For "Lust, Caution" released in November, Li An is a great director with an Oscar aura.

In the end, it only won the box office of 1.3 million.

Last year's highest box office was "Curse of the Golden Flower" with 2.9 million, and the No.2 "Night Banquet" was 1.3 million.

2 million is really a lot.

In front of the monument, everyone tacitly dressed in dark colors, relatively warm.

Only female No. [-] Tang Yan wore a silver patterned low-cut dress, and Lu Yuan was amazed at her ability to keep out the cold.

I haven't seen her for a while, but this girl has completely changed. The entertainment industry can really corrupt people.

Her cool outfit is very eye-catching in the crowd, and correspondingly, she has won a lot of exposure for herself.

The sound of firecrackers is still going on.

Lu Yuan listened attentively, the crackling sound of firecrackers mixed with the wind, tick-tock, it really felt like a charge.

Firecrackers are set off under the monument, and bugles are sounded on the top of the monument, that's all.

The worship session ended, and the free interview began, and the reporters rushed forward.

These kinds of interviews asked those questions back and forth, whether the box office results are satisfactory, and what plans are there next.

Most of the questions are a bunch of nonsense, but you still can't get away from it!
Lu Yuan has seen a lot now, and those unreliable people can hide as much as they can. Anyway, the protagonist is Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Hanyu.

Mao stooped and quietly stepped back a few steps to the rear of the team.

"Hey, what are you doing, you want to slip away, don't you?" Wang Baoqiang followed stealthily.

Lu Yuan glanced at him, and moved a few steps away from him. This person is also the focus of the reporter's interview.

Wang Baoqiang followed closely: "Speak up!"

"Can you stay away from me, I want to be quiet." Lu Yuan said impatiently.

"Who is Jingjing, you think of her that much?" Wang Baoqiang made a rare joke.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. Since falling in love, this grandson has become a lot more lively, and he can still talk a little bit from time to time.

Of course, most of them are old-fashioned jokes, and I don't know how the girl can stand him.

Is it really love?
Finding a corner and squatting down, looking at the people beside him, Lu Yuan said with disgust, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Baoqiang took out his mobile phone without looking up: "I'm too tired, take a rest."

"How is it with your daughter-in-law, when will I bring it out to meet you?"

"Don't yell, there is a daughter-in-law." Although he said so, the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed Wang Baoqiang's true inner thoughts.

Lu Yuan didn't intend to expose it, but just teased: "So it's not, then you called Rong'er Rong'er in your dream last night, those who didn't know thought you were Guo Jing."

"I was talking in my sleep last night, what else did I say?" Wang Baoqiang suddenly became nervous and asked coyly.

Lu Yuan was just talking nonsense. He was so tired these days that he fell asleep when he got in the car.

But the other party's expression made him realize that something was wrong, he couldn't be dreaming.

As the saying goes, in a dream, you don’t know you are a guest, and you are greedy for a while~
"you last night"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you are my brother." Wang Baoqiang quickly changed the subject: "Aren't you going to the "Painted Skin" crew for an interview? When will you be there?"

"Tomorrow, I told the director in the morning that I won't participate in the next promotion."

"I heard that the crew broke a lot of things, and the director has been changed."

"Whatever, I'm just acting, and it's not certain whether I can be seen by others."

PS: Chapter 2 will be posted in the afternoon, later.
