Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 343 Premiere Day
Zhang Yuanjun doesn't remember the specific results of "Love Announcement" starring the former Miss Time and Space. He only remembers that the final box office of this movie was over 5000 million and less than 6000 million.

For a work by a singer who crossed over to become a director, this achievement is really very successful. The film has also successfully made a profit and has not failed the investors.

But thinking back, how many of the people who would buy tickets to go to the cinema are fans of Wang Lihong and Liu Yifei?

I'm afraid it's a lot.

Now, the cold box office report shows that fans of Yang Mi in 10 will not buy tickets for her.

The box office of "Love Announcement" on its first day of release was only 240 million, and it is estimated that a large part of it was contributed by Wang Lihong's fans.

If this film had not included Wang Lihong, a top figure in the music industry, the film studio would probably have cut off the post-production announcements of "Love Announcement".

In fact, we are already planning to cancel the announcement. On the first Monday after the release of "Love Announcement", "Shrek 4" will be released. Even though this film has not formed an IP effect in China, theaters are still optimistic that it can exceed [-] million. After all, Operating in China for many years.

Then on the 18th, Leonardo and Nolan will come to China for the premiere of "Inception", which will be officially released on the 20th.

"The Lonely Agent" still earns 800 million to 1000 million yuan every day on weekdays, which makes the small and medium-budget films in the second half of the film unable to breathe.

Even the investor Shanshui International didn’t know how “Love Announcement” was going to turn around.

However, Wang Lihong showed unprecedented stubbornness in publicity and distribution. He insisted on continuing to invest. He firmly believed that his film would be profitable.

However, investors are the most realistic group of people. Shanshui International only promised not to cut the publicity funds and maintain the original publicity investment. If the subsequent films perform well, they will consider increasing the publicity efforts.

Zhang Yuanjun is still working hard to promote "The Lonely Agent". On the seventh day of its release, the film's box office exceeded 1.02 million, with a revenue of [-] million.

However, the film studio and theater chains believe that the film still has potential to be tapped, and still require the creators to continue promoting it and strive to "reach a box office of 1.7 million" before the release of "Inception."

During the chat, the head of distribution of China Film and Television also "blamed" Zhang Yuanjun: "It's okay now, just beat yourself up, I'll see what you do."

"What else can I do, just run away with all my life." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "I have two movies in half a month, the audience won't get tired of me."

"I can't guarantee that." Wu Jing said with a smile, "Why is this guy again not watching?"

Zhang Yuanjun immediately threw the blame to China Film Group: "It's all your fault for arranging my films randomly."

He quit publishing: "Why do you blame me? This year's World Cup, I ranked you in early July and you cursed me to death. The next film "Earthquake" is waiting for you, and there is nothing we can do. There are more films now, and there are many distributions. The company arranges films by itself, and I estimate that it will become increasingly difficult to arrange films in the next few years. Don’t think about having one film all in one schedule in the future.”

"Lonely Agent" earned 4300 million at the box office in the two days of its second weekend, bringing its total score to 1.59 million. After that, the film schedule was cut to 17%.

At noon on the 17th, the main creators of "Inception" arrived in Beijing: Nolan and his wife, and the only leading actor was Leonardo.

"Inception" is one of this summer's biggest winners.

At present, the global box office of the movie has exceeded the US$6 million mark, and will reach US$7 million in the near future. Warner's astonishing gamble of US$1.6 million has succeeded.

After China Film announced the introduction of "Inception" and finalized its release date, it started promoting it.

Leonardo, Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei.

China Film holds these three cards and doesn’t know how to lose in publicity.

On the morning of the 18th, Zhang Yuanjun finished the last promotional leg of "The Lonely Agent" in Hongdu and went north to join the "Inception" crew.

"Zhang, you have lost a lot of weight." Nolan's first words when he saw Zhang Yuanjun were very touching.

"I have a movie that is being released and needs to be promoted everywhere. You know, that's what actors do. Emma, ​​how are you doing?" Zhang Yuanjun shook hands with Emma Thomas.

"'Inception' is a hit, I feel very good." Emma Thomas laughed.

"Leon, welcome to China."

"Thank you." Leonardo showed off his Chinese, "I learned this on the plane."

"That's very good." Zhang Yuanjun also smiled.

Leonardo said: "I have seen the script outline that you and David wrote together." For that AI movie, the script outline has been released and the plot is now being filled in.

"Really, what do you think?"

"I regret not investing in your movie now." The idea for this movie was born in the United States. At that time, Zhang Yuanjun approached Leon to get him to invest in Appian Trail, but only one idea clearly failed to impress him.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "You have invested in "Never Ending", and I am already very grateful to you."

Just as he was talking, Liu Yifei arrived.

After greeting everyone, Liu Yifei said: "I'm super nervous now, even more nervous than when we premiered in London." She started to apply it on Zhang Yuanjun.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Yuanjun slapped Liu Yifei's hand away.

The creators chatted for a while, and then the organizer of the premiere came over to go over the process for the last time.

China Film Group attaches great importance to today's premiere, and the scale is exactly the same as the premiere of a top-notch blockbuster.

There is no need to be invited by China Film Group. Many celebrities volunteered to attend the ceremony.

After checking the process, everyone went to put on makeup.

The premiere red carpet starts at 4 p.m. and is expected to last 1 hour and 40 minutes. 20 minutes are reserved. The premiere viewing starts at 6 p.m., followed by an hour of communication time between the main creators.

But at 2 p.m., the red carpet at the entrance of the venue had not yet been rolled out, and movie fans were already there.

At 3:[-], the media entered the venue.

At 3:50, the red carpet welcomed its first celebrity guest-Huang Shengyi.

Zhang Yuanjun did not have a guest list, but when he heard that she was coming, he guessed: "The filming of "The Legend of White Snake" will start soon."

After Huang Shengyi, many people came, some of whom Zhang Yuanjun knew, and some who did not.

Some came with promotional tasks, such as Huang Shengyi came to promote the upcoming "Legend of White Snake", Su Zhaobin brought Big S to promote the upcoming "Sword Rain", and even Hua Ge came to show his face to promote "Di Renjie", which will be released next month. "The Empire of Tongtian" to build momentum.

There are those who simply come to show their faces to gain popularity, such as Zhang Yuqi and Huo Siyan, whom Zhang Yuanjun knows but does not recognize.

Of course, Luo Jin, Tang Yan, Zhu Yawen, Xiao Songjia and others came here as friends to help.

Until 5:[-], the main creator of "Inception" walked on the red carpet.

Nolan, Leonardo, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei took the stage together, which immediately triggered a tsunami of screams and cheers from the fans and media.

"Yifei!!"

"Cissy!"

"Zhang Yuanjun!"

"Leon!"

"Jack! Jack!"

The four of them walked very slowly and waved frequently to the fans on both sides.

"The Chinese audience is really enthusiastic." Leon whispered to Zhang Yuanjun, but in fact he couldn't understand what the fans were shouting at all.

"Of course, we have the most enthusiastic and tolerant audience here. You should really come to China more often."

The four of them walked down the red carpet and entered the theater.
