Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 481 The impact of shifting gears

The premiere of "囧囧" is on the 9th, and the premiere of "Zodiac" is on the 12th.

Invitations were sent to the couple at both events, but Zhang Yuanjun did not go. Liu Yifei was going to the premiere of "Twelve Zodiac Signs".

After all, she had filmed "The King of Kung Fu" with Jackie Chan, so it was hard for her to refuse the emotional card.

Although he did not participate in the event, he still retweeted the promotional materials of the two crews on Weibo.

The premiere of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" was held with great grandeur and was even broadcast on the movie channel.

Liu Yifei's dress today came from Tony Ward, and she appeared at the back.

In fact, her clothes today are not particularly good-looking, but Liu Yifei's star is too bright. As soon as she came on stage, all the reporters in the audience rushed to take pictures of her.

The red carpet host also asked her to stay and wanted to interview her with a few questions.

"Hello Yifei, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Liu Yifei nodded slightly and smiled.

"Welcome Yifei to attend the premiere of our "Twelve Zodiac Signs" today. We all know that Yifei once worked with Jackie Chan on "The King of Kung Fu". This time we come to the premiere to see him again. Do you feel any different?"

Liu Yifei said: "It has been five years since "The King of Kung Fu". I just met Jackie Chan in the backstage lounge. He is still the same as before, very caring and greeting me."

"Did Yifei know about our "Twelve Zodiacs" in advance?"

"Yes, I watched the trailer. I think it is very meaningful to make a movie about searching for a national treasure."

"Okay, thank you Yifei for coming to our premiere." The host let Liu Yifei into the venue.

The next day, the results of "囧囧" were released. On Wednesday, the premiere day, it scored 3800 million yuan, shocking everyone!

The cost of this film was only 3000 million!

If the results on the first day were just amazing, the reverse decline that day shocked everyone's jaws when it reported 3900 million.

It's so abnormal.

It can collect 7700 million in the two working days of the premiere. If it enters the weekend, I don’t know how much it will take in the box office.

Huayi quickly panicked.

The rescheduling of "Zodiac" not only did not make the profit prospects of "1942" clearer, but instead brought in a box office monster.

"Thailand" is bound to devour the film schedule of "1942" which has been released for two weeks. In the face of huge interests, the theater chain will even allocate the film schedule of "Twelve Zodiac" to "Thailand".

On Friday, "囧囧" grossed 5380 million.

Saturday, 9000 million!

Sunday, 8300 million!

The combined box office for the four days of the first weekend reached a record 3.08 million!

According to the triple theory, the first billion-dollar blockbuster in Chinese film history is about to be born!

"Lost in Thailand" set off a wave of movie watching and discussion among people across the country. In just a few days, everyone inside and outside the industry was discussing the film.

"Have you seen "囧囧"?"

""囧囧"balabala..."

The daily box office of "3" has dropped below 8 million. As of the latest working day statistics, the total box office of "10" has not exceeded million. It is targeting million and striving for the goal of billion. It looks like it's not even half done.

Before the release of "Zodiac", "Lost in Thailand" had the highest market share of 55.4% of the film schedule. This is the Lunar New Year period when all the heroes are competing. A comedy with a cost of 3000 million accounts for half of the film schedule, which is completely unreasonable. Seeing "囧囧" become such a big hit, Huayi regretted sacrificing Jackie Chan to protect Feng Xiaogang.

华艺非常清楚外界对《十二生肖》的期待有多高，王忠军王忠磊兄弟也知道12-12-12的档期对《十二生肖》有多重要，但他们当时没把一部3000万成本的喜剧放在眼里，认为即使错过了12-12-12的档期，12月也没有片子打得过《十二生肖》。

After the schedule adjustment, "10" was not saved, and a billion-dollar blockbuster was released a week before "Zodiac". It is hard to say whether "Zodiac" can fulfill its previously expected box office potential. .

"It's hopeless," Zhang Yuanjun judged "Zodiac" during the year-end meeting of the studio. "I watched the preview of "Zodiac" in advance. It is a billion-dollar blockbuster. It is Huayi's decision. If something went wrong, it shouldn’t have been shifted.”

"Zodiac" is definitely better than "囧" in terms of appearance.

"I also watched "囧囧". It was quite funny," said Zhang Yuanjun's executive agent, "but I still can't figure out why it sold so well."

Zhang Yuanjun shrugged: "I don't know either. The box office cannot be analyzed just by looking at the lineup and announcements."

"It can only be said that the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people have pushed "Thailand" to such a position. Don't feel sorry for "Zodiac". If it hadn't been shifted, the 10 billion might not have been his. "

After talking about the market gossip, we started talking about work.

Throughout this year, Zhang Yuanjun did not join the team to film. He only released one film, "Her", relying on endorsement fees, copyright fees and other income. The studio's profit this year is not very good, and everyone's work is easy.

But ease also means that everyone makes no money in a year.

But they all understand that this year it’s not that Zhang Yuanjun is slacking off at work, but that he has to hold off on 90% of the work because he wants to have a wedding and marry his wife.

Even though he didn’t have much work this year, Zhang Yuanjun still dragged a group of people into a meeting until after 10 o’clock in the evening. This year’s work summary report is part of the report, and the big one is next year’s plan. Currently, he has confirmed a movie "The Master of Hypnosis", and his salary is still stuck. superior. Hollywood came over with an idea for a low-budget gunfight action film, but the script hadn't been finished yet, so it wasn't easy to respond at the moment.

Some film appointments were also announced at the meeting.

Some films are still in the creative stage, and the producers want to make an appointment with Zhang Yuanjun in his later years.

"The film hasn't even been released yet, so let's make an appointment." Even if there is a script, Zhang Yuanjun believed it after two years of preparation.

"Who said your time is precious? We have screened these film appointments." The team is eager to fill Zhang Yuanjun's schedule, but they also know that this young master will not let work fill his life. "Look at Xiao Ming and the others, who are they?" Isn't the film appointment scheduled for two or three years? Look at this one again."

"I think this is good." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile while reading the film appointment information, "Acting is expensive but not expensive. If you want me to act in a film like "Bubble Summer", I won't do it."

Everyone below laughed: "Don't talk about "Bubble Summer", this movie has almost become Xiao Ming's shame, and he himself doesn't want to mention it."

"Okay, that's it. We'll have the New Year's holiday as usual this year."

"This year's New Year's Day is Sunday." Xiao Zhao reminded him.

"Then the annual meeting will be held on Friday. After the meal and the distribution of red envelopes, everyone will have a day off."

"Great!" Everyone cheered, "What's the year-end bonus this year?"

"It would be pointless to tell you in advance." Zhang Yuanjun said, "Let's break up. I'll take these materials back to read."
