King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 260 “Sassy Girlfriend”’s incredible first week results

Yu Hao and others were interviewed one after another by reporters.

It's just a shame for a lot of film critics. Logically speaking, they should be the ones who pay the most attention to the details of the movie, but they seem to be led into the ditch by Yu Hao.

The plot of the story is like a sow wearing a hood - one set of hoods and another set of hoods, which didn't give them much time to think, which made them very helpless.

It didn't take long for the premiere to end.

After leaving the house, a group of great directors were being interviewed by reporters, which was the legendary part of complimenting each other.

A reporter asked Lao Mouzi: "Director Zhang, what do you think of Director Yu's film?"

Lao Mouzi said with emotion: "It's a very interesting storyline, and it's worth learning from us old guys. We probably can't make a film like this. The story is not told well enough."

The reporter's eyes lit up and he said, "Director Zhang means that Director Yu's film is better than yours?"

Lao Mouzi frowned and said, "I told you that the story is better than ours. The shooting techniques, lighting, photography, editing, and colors are still good, but there is still a long way to go to achieve success."

The reporter then asked: "If Director Zhang thinks this film is rated out of 10, how many points can Director Zhang give?"

Lao Mouzi thought about it and said: "8 points, the other two points are not because he failed to shoot well, but I think he still has a lot of room for improvement. If these parts are handled well, I think it is only a matter of time before he surpasses us." "

Then he asked another topic: "How much does director Zhang think this movie can earn at the box office?"

Lao Mouzi pondered for a while and said: "I can't say this, but Yu Hao said that it can lead a new trend of love. This is true. I seem to have foreseen the scene where this barbaric trend will ferment among young people. ."

A reporter asked Jiang Wen: "Director Jiang, what do you think of this film?"

Jiang Wen smiled and said: "It's very good. With all due respect, among the current romance movies, this one is considered top-notch. The story is told very well, and the acting by Yu Hao and Gao Yuanyuan is also very good.

According to my prediction, this film will cause a barbaric trend around the world, and the box office is expected to be very good. "

The reporter asked: "How much box office does Director Jiang think it can have?"

Jiang Wen laughed and said: "I naturally hope that the higher the box office, the better. This proves that our Chinese directors are getting better and better with each generation. Only in this way can our Chinese movies continue to develop brilliantly."

The reporter then asked: "Isn't Director Jiang afraid that Director Yu will step on you and get the upper hand?"

Jiang Wen spread his hands and said, "What fame do I have? I won the Golden Lion Award abroad. If Director Yu can win another Golden Lion Award, would it be too late for me to be happy?

That will only prove that our Chinese directors are progressive, not regressive. As the great man said, the world is still for young people after all. Director Yu is a young man. We are already old. Simply, Director Yu stood up. "

Then the topic was asked about Feng Dapao.

Feng Dapao said: "I'm not qualified to speak about Director Yu's film. After all, the people's stories are much better than mine, and the film is much more elegant than mine. I can only say that Director Yu is awesome."

The reporter smiled and asked: "Then I wonder what Director Feng thinks of the box office of this film?"

Feng Dapao rubbed his chin and said: "I think it's very good. Fifty million is no problem. I can't imagine more. After all, I haven't seen that much box office."

When the reporter asked Poet Chen, Poet Chen said: "I think this film is still a bit conservative. If I follow my idea, life is a mixture of comedy and tragedy, and art is higher than life.

Comedy is just a story, tragedy is life. If this movie ends in tragedy and those science fiction plots are removed, I think the artistic conception of this movie will be on a higher level. "

The reporter asked: "Then what is Director Chen's different opinion?"

Poet Chen smiled and said: "As for the love story, it's okay to be sweeter, but it can add some difficulties that all of us have experienced, such as the obstruction of family members and the disparity in status between the two parties. This is included in the film, but it is not explored in depth.

I want to dig deeper and write a lot of parts, so that it can be closely related to most of life. After all, with fireworks, you can have a more immersive feeling, right? "

The reporter nodded and said, "Poet Chen's idea is indeed extraordinary."

He nodded repeatedly on his face, but he was complaining crazily in his heart.

Damn, don’t we watch movies because we want to relax? Life is hard enough, why do we have to experience it again in a movie?

Isn’t this a simple and beautiful love story? Why does it have to end in tragedy?

But he still asked: "How much do you think the box office of this movie can be?"

Poet Chen pondered for a while and said: "This movie is pretty good. Although I didn't delve into these details, it still has a box office of 40 million. As for 50 million, it depends on the situation. As for 300 million? That is definitely not possible."

That night, Yu Hao entertained everyone in a big hotel.

The next day, coverage of the premiere of "Savage Girl" appeared overwhelmingly in major entertainment newspapers.

The interviews with Lao Mouzi and others have been cited the most, and the most popular one is the interview with Jiang Wen.

Many people secretly smacked their lips after watching it, is Yu Hao's new film really that good?

Not to mention Feng Dapao's slightly exaggerated evaluation, let's talk about the evaluations of Poet Chen and Lao Mouzi, and we can see that Yu Hao's film is indeed good.

What’s even more surprising is the evaluation of many film critics, each of whom spoke highly of Yu Hao’s film.

One of the more pertinent film reviews is this:

The biggest feature of the film is the creation of a "savage girlfriend" character that has never been seen in previous films. "Women beating men" has also become the biggest gimmick of the film.

If "savage" is the outward burst of youthful vitality, tenderness and sweetness are the essence of "girlfriend". "Sassy Girlfriend" has a childlike innocence like other girls - interesting and full of love.

It was her gentle and kind side that made her boyfriend, who was tortured to the point of becoming a human being, devote himself to treating her "sad disease" and fall deeply in love with her.

Gao Yuanyuan's beauty is also one of the reasons why this story is somewhat convincing. Do you believe that whether they break up or get together, it is destined by God. Those who are destined to be together, even if they are separated, will eventually get together.

There is also a film review written from the audience’s perspective:

When I first watched this movie, what I saw was the heroine's unconventional savagery, and the almost masochistic following of the hero. At this moment, she was like a willow in the spring breeze, with the breeze blowing on her face, her smile as bright as a flower, and the next second she was slapped and fisted. In addition, all kinds of unimaginable, cruel and violent alternative forms of "love" take turns to appear, which is really heart-breaking for the male protagonist.

And this wild girl, one moment is as gentle and gentle as a poem, playing the piano, smiling with a low eyebrow, like a shy Xia Lian, and the next moment she is alone and lonely looking into the distance, her eyes are empty and sad, thoughtful. Weeping silently, like a lunatic,

One moment he was drunk, and the other moment he was full of blood and put on his high school uniform and ran to the dance hall to dance to his heart's content. At that time, I couldn't understand the girl's heart, I just thought she was very neurotic and funny. It was very warm that such a wild girl had a boy like Qian Niu who would never leave her to tolerate and accompany her.

…………

Many viewers were skeptical, but many of them were led into the cinema by their girlfriends. Seeing that they were all in pairs, many people had some expectations in their hearts.

After the plot of the movie unfolded, many people were attracted by the new images of Gao Yuanyuan and Yu Hao.

After seeing Gao Yuanyuan's dress, many boys began to swallow their saliva, and then they were viciously attacked by their girlfriends.

The girls said to their boyfriends one by one: "My dear, Gao Yuanyuan's dress is really fashionable. I want to dress like this too. My dear, can you buy me a set then?"

After saying that, he started acting coquettishly towards his boyfriend.

A group of boys began to complain crazily in their hearts, Yu Hao, are you sent here by God to make us suffer?

But then everyone was stunned when they saw Gao Yuanyuan vomiting all over the middle-aged man.

Gao Yuanyuan's goddess image has begun to shake in their minds. This is not in line with the impression Gao Yuanyuan has given them all along.

But then, after seeing Gao Yuanyuan vomiting again, everyone became a little numb.

Then came the scene of Gao Yuanyuan beating up Yu Hao. Everyone was dumbfounded again. It turned out that his girlfriend could do this?

Many little girls began to look at their boyfriends with interest and geared up.

Everyone admires the heroine played by Gao Yuanyuan in their hearts. This is the most perfect idol in their minds.

The laughter at the scene never stopped.

The male protagonist played by Yu Hao is indeed funny enough, subverting their long-held image of Yu Hao as aloof.

The very earthy look simply refreshed their perception.

However, after watching it, they became more and more fond of the heroine played by Gao Yuanyuan. This is the most suitable image of the goddess in their hearts.

Who says women are inferior to men? Girls can also protect their boyfriends.

However, many people were a little confused after reading it.

A girl asked: "Dear, tell me, why are there those science fiction scenes in this film? Is there any deeper meaning?"

The boyfriend scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I'm confused. How about we take a look?"

The girlfriend smiled and said: "Okay, but we can also record the things that boyfriends and girlfriends should do, and let's try to do it, okay? I think it's pretty good."

The boyfriend said with a grimace: "Isn't this bad? Movies are movies after all, not real life. We don't need to learn that. And you know, my feet are very smelly. I'm afraid..."

The girlfriend leaned on her boyfriend's shoulder affectionately and said, "It's okay, let's just give it a try, okay?" After that, she started acting coquettishly.

The boyfriend complained that he couldn't bear it, so he had no choice but to agree, feeling hatred for Yu Hao in his heart.

However, many people will watch it again after watching the movie, and they are definitely not here for the one million dollar prize.

Many people started discussing it online after watching it, and the "Sassy Girlfriend" communication thread was set up early by Mr. Cai.    : Why are there UFO and other science fiction plots in the film? Is this really a love movie? I have a feeling that the relationship between them is much deeper than we imagined. Can you tell us something powerful? That's a million-dollar prize.

: To be honest, I don’t understand it either, but I think it has something to do with traveling through time and space. It’s possible that the male protagonist from the future traveled to the present, but I don’t know how long I waited and how many times I switched parallel time and space before we got together.

: It’s upstairs, isn’t it? This is a love movie, and these science fiction plots are just the heroine's script, without such deep meaning.

: Upstairs, don’t you think this makes it more unforgettable? Is this the only way to make this film more memorable?

…………

The audience who watched "Savage Girl" felt very unwilling to accept the murder at the hands of their own girlfriends.

Then he extended his poisonous hand to his friends. After all, happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone. Good brothers should share the blessings, right? So one by one, I asked my friends around me to watch this movie.

One by one, they patted their chests and promised: "Brother, believe me, you will never regret it after watching this movie. Believe me, we have been brothers for many years, will I still lie to you? But I will definitely Remember to bring your girlfriend."

"Really? This is the girlfriend I finally found. If she is let go, I will never be done with you."

The man patted his chest righteously and said, "This is really a sweet love movie. There are no sadistic plots or breakup scenes. Believe me, you will definitely not regret it after watching it."

As a result, more and more people were poisoned by their girlfriends, and this barbaric trend began to spread among lovers.

More and more couples fell into the trap, but after watching the movie, everyone was in a tacit understanding and did not tell anyone.

After all, if you suffer, how can you prevent others from suffering?

As time goes by, more and more couples join the movie-watching queue, major cinemas are full, and many cinema owners are grinning from ear to ear.

But then problems arose again. Many couples became dissatisfied when they found out that "Sassy Girl" was getting further and further behind in the schedule, and even moved to night shows.

They all said to the ticket office: "Can't we put other movies in a row at the back? What kind of movies are they? If not, we will go to other cinemas to watch them."

But they were also helpless. Although the movie was indeed released, they didn't expect it to be so difficult to schedule. Many of them had already gone to many cinemas, but they were very tight on time.

The conductor said helplessly: "This matter was also arranged by the company, and there is nothing we can do about it."

But seeing more and more people reacting to this incident, the theater manager couldn't sit still.

He quickly comforted everyone: "Please don't get excited. I will contact the boss right away and ensure that I give you a satisfactory explanation."

Everyone had no choice but to accept it, but many people still urged the manager to call quickly.

As a result, many theater owners received calls from the theater manager and reported the matter to the regional director of China Film.

But thinking about how this copy would be sent to other homes, his face gradually fell.

But the film conveyor suffered from the old nose. Although a film conveyor only needed to visit five nearby theaters, he couldn't afford to run back and forth, so he had to suffer and be happy. They also made a lot of money.

Then he called the person in charge of China Film: "Can you add some copies? If that's not possible, our cinema can buy it ourselves. Otherwise, it would be such a pity. I would be unwilling to see the money flowing out in vain."

The person in charge frowned and asked, "It shouldn't be. One copy only requires five theaters. They are basically all in the same city. It doesn't take long to drive."

The theater owner smiled bitterly and said: "It's different. Director Yu's film is very popular. Several of our theaters are very nervous about it, not just for our theater."

Not long after, the person in charge of another cinema called, and then received calls from all cinema owners in the area.

The regional director did not dare to delay and quickly reported the matter to Director Han.

After receiving the call, Director Han was stunned for a while and asked in confusion: "It shouldn't be, it can't be like this, right?"

The regional director vomited bitterly and said: "It's different from the past. There are many young people among these people, so they are very full. Director Han, how about we copy some more?"

After a moment, Director Han patted his thigh and said, "Okay, let's make the arrangements. Don't worry."

Immediately afterwards, he also received calls from other people, and Director Han did not hesitate to call the copy department in the factory directly.

After receiving calls one after another, the theater owner wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to the audience:

"I have received a call from the person in charge of distribution. In a few days, our theaters will be able to schedule films every day. Don't worry."

A week later, Mr. Han's trembling phone call came in: "Mr. Yu, guess what the box office of your film was this week?"

On the phone, Yu Hao could feel his excitement.

Yu Hao smiled and said: "Listening to Mr. Han's happy tone, coupled with the reports during this period, I think it's not too bad. Thirty million is probably impossible. Ten million shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Director Han said tremblingly: "The box office on the first day was 4 million. For our mainland alone, there are 20 million. We haven't counted Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, otherwise we will specify more."

Yu Hao was shocked and speechless, and his hanging heart was relieved. Then he suppressed his excited voice and said tremblingly: "So high?"

He couldn't help but be excited. It was 4 million on the first day and 20 million in the first week. To give a rough estimate, in two months it would be no problem for the mainland box office alone to exceed 60 million.

Just last year, the real mainland box office champion, "The Diplomacy", only had 40 million.

If this is combined with the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other regions, it seems that 300 million is not a fantasy?

Mr. Han choked for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "You are really big-hearted. It is a sure thing that the domestic box office of this film will exceed 60 million.

Coupled with the box office of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, I dare not say 300 million, but I think there is still hope for a box office of 200 million. "

After hearing the box office of 200 million yuan, Yu Hao couldn't help but think of "Life and Death". This film is considered to be the first mainland film to have a box office of over 100 million yuan with accurate statistics.

In fact, many people don't know that the previous peak of the mainland film industry was in the 80s. At that time, there were many movies with a box office of over million, at least six or seven.

On the opposite side, Mr. Han asked: "Mr. Yu, are you a little disappointed? It's not impossible for us to get 300 million. Take your time. If we extend it for half a year, it's not impossible."

Yu Hao laughed and said: "Uncle Han, I know. As for the postponement, we will talk about it when the time comes. Let's take a look first. I think there may be a surprise."

Mr. Han asked meaningfully: "Mr. Yu, do you know the total box office of our country's movies in recent years?"

Yu Hao shook his head and said, "This is indeed not very clear."

Mr. Han said with a smile: "In general, they are all around one billion. In 95, Jackie Chan's movie had a box office of 9500 million, "Silent Lies" had a box office of 1 million, and last year's "Titanic" had a box office of 3.6 million. Our market is quite strong. Big one, don't worry,

So 200 million is not a fantasy. Moreover, there are box offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Your audience is not like other directors. At least in Japan and South Korea, Jackie Chan can compare. , no one else would even dare to think about it,

So, don’t feel any burden, just do a good job in publicity. I will say hello to the media and I won’t cause any trouble for you within a month.

If you can get a box office of 200 million, it will definitely be a milestone for our mainland film market, and this influence may be even greater. "

After hearing this, Yu Hao suddenly felt proud. Jackie Chan did it, the truck driver did it, but Yu Hao couldn't do it?

So he said proudly: "Okay, I'm looking forward to our movie being a hit, and when the time comes, we will also get the title of director with a box office of 200 million."

Mr. Han laughed and said: "Is this the right thing? Young people should be arrogant. You were too conservative in the past. Look at people like Jiang Wen, Lao Mouzi, Feng Dapao and Chen Shi.

Who doesn’t cause trouble at a movie premiere? Which one didn’t make bold statements during the release? Our film industry should have this idea of ​​killing everything.

By the way, shall we make arrangements for the road show? Roadshows are very important. As long as you grasp them well, they will greatly stimulate the movie box office and the million-dollar award. It’s time to count. "

Yu Hao smacked his lips and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now. Uncle Han has to worry about the road show."

Mr. Han smiled and said: "Okay, you are really thorough as a hands-off shopkeeper. By the way, your film has completely made your reputation. Are you interested in making a blockbuster in the second half of the year? Let's have a try. big?"

Yu Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Han, do you think I have the ability to control such a large crew? Take your time. I have plans for the second half of the year. It is a movie about the Anxi Army..."

After hearing this, Mr. Han frowned and said, "Are you planning to go to Berlin for this film?"

Yu Hao nodded and said, "Yes."

Mr. Han said thoughtfully: "It's okay to give it a try. In addition, I will tell the media about the first week's box office to give you some influence."

Yu Hao chuckled and said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Han. I will be responsible for the road show."
