Actor: My Entertainment Era

Guo Jingming's expectation for "Tiny Times 4" was 8 million, but the film's performance so far has not been in line with Guo's expectations. It exceeded 4 million in 3.6 days in the first weekend and 6 million in 4 days. The daily new additions in the past week have been no more than 500 million. .

"Gardenia Blooms" performed very well, with over 3 million on the first day and 2.5 million in the first three days. For a debut film, this result is very, very good.

It is a consensus in the industry that more than half of the results of youth films will be generated in the first week. "Tiny Times 4" and "Gardenia Blooms", whether they meet the director's expectations or not, the paper results are very good.

But this summer, especially in July, the main characters are "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Pancake Man", as well as the carrot spirit "Monster Hunt" which they said was cute but Zhang Yuanjun thought it was ugly!
At the summer promotion meeting, many people praised "The Return of the Great Sage", but no one thought that this movie would be a big hit because it had so little publicity. What could it do with the few people it attracted through offline previews? .

But no one expected that "The Return of the Great Sage" would teach everyone who works in movie marketing and promotion a lesson.

The word "tap water" officially entered the media field of view.

They promoted the film for free and made a loud noise on the Internet. Coupled with the good quality of "The Return of the Monkey King", its box office and reputation soared after the first day, helping the film to exceed 7 million in its first weekend. Breaking 3 million.

The limelight overshadowed "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain", as well as "Tiny Times 4" and "Gardenia Blooms".

People seem to have really seen the revival of Chinese comics.

Breaking 7 million in 3 days would only be considered a small hit in a feature film, but it would be a big hit in an animated movie, and people are willing to give animated movies extra treatment.

For a time, "The Return of the Great Sage" became a new benchmark and new hope for Chinese comics.

Even Zhang Yuanjun took advantage of the popularity and spontaneously sent a congratulatory Weibo post to "The Return of the Great Sage".

And when everyone was immersed in the joy that "The Return of the Great Sage" would lead to the re-emergence of Chinese comics, "Pancake Man" rushed to the scene.

It makes no sense, except that it is the only comedy in July, and there is no other reason at all.

It just sold!

1.39 million on the first day and 4.23 million on the first weekend.

Even producer Chen Zhixi didn't expect it to be such a hit. She set an expectation for "Pancake Man" of 3 million to 5 million.

However, "Pancake Man" was a box office hit, but its online reputation was a mess.

There is a problem here. If the reputation is not good, why is the movie so popular?
It seems that there are still a large number of people who don't read online comments. Some people watch comedies and don't care about the structure and succession. If they can make people laugh, the tickets are worth the money.

Moreover, Dapeng found a very convenient way, and he brought his feelings with him.

Youth movies also sell emotions, why can’t comedies sell emotions?

He really made the right bet.

However, Da Peng made money, but it will take him a long time to repay the debt of "Pancake Man", because many viewers who have watched "Pancake Man" will later realize that this is indeed a bad movie.

Grandson, did you fool me with this kind of movie back then?
And Chen Zhixi's reputation was officially made in the film "Pancake Man".

The director needs to bear the impact of the film's reputation, but the producer is only responsible for making money. If the previous bet on "囧" was luck, then the bet on "Pancake Man" this time can no longer be attributed to luck.

Don't forget, she also produced "Miss Bai", which won Liu Yifei the Best Actress title.

Business, literature and art are both blooming. This woman really has some strength in her body.

After "Pancake Man", the one who has benefited the most is Chen Zhixi. Bosses are now rushing to ask her about projects and give her money.

Chen Zhixi is easy to talk to: "I still have a literary film in my hand, about women's depression after marriage."

Investors stopped talking again. I must be looking for you to invest in commercial films to make money. Who would invest in literary films nowadays?

"Monster Hunt" is even more outrageous.

1.7 million on the first day and 6.69 million on the first weekend!
The entire schedule has been completely crazy!

Landai and Anle Pictures are very powerful, and they did a lot of tricks on this film, including but not limited to buying box offices, locking venues, ghost screenings, fictitious attendance, etc.

But after all, the producer is very knowledgeable, so no one reacts. Many people on the Internet are talking about the operation of "Monster Hunt", but the regulatory authorities are silent at this time.

The producer's unscrupulous efforts to boost the box office are most likely due to the replacement of the male lead for reshoots, which resulted in serious budget overruns.

The film's original male lead was Ke Zhendong, but it was blocked.

Anle Pictures had to spend another 7000 million to hire Jing Boran to come to the rescue for reshoots. The extra 7000 million costs put an additional 2.1 million in profit pressure.

But human greed is unlimited, and the development of the situation is also uncontrollable. The producer will not stop after charging an extra 2.1 million to recoup the cost, and the situation will develop in an even more incredible direction.

"Monster Hunt" is aiming for the top spot in film history!

It may be for this reason that the relevant departments remain silent. They also hope that the throne of the film history champion will be a domestic film, rather than a "Fast and Furious 7" about racing.
There is so much turmoil in the market, but Zhang Yuanjun is immersed in the crew and Liu Yifei has no public activities. Even if reporters want to ask them for their opinions on each film, they can't find anyone.

At noon on the day when "Monster Hunt" broke the 7 million mark, the crew of "The Invisible Guest" completed all the filming of the movie in Beijing downstairs in Tower A of the China World Trade Center.

In the afternoon, the crew set off to Min Province and took 2-3 weeks to complete the filming.

Zhang Yuanjun's scenes were filmed a few days ago, and he had already rushed to Min Province's Tianbaoyan Nature Reserve in advance to prepare.

I have to say, it’s so cool in the mountains. Zhang Yuanjun stayed in a scenic hotel and didn’t want to leave.

Before the filming started, he got up before six o'clock every day, ran in the mountains and took oxygen. He also ate local delicacies every day, which made him extremely healthy.

It's quite a bit like being conservative in Nanshan.

"It's comfortable in the mountains." Zhang Yuanjun and his wife said, "You can come here more often in the summer to escape the heat."

"Do you have many tourists?" Liu Yifei asked.

"There are quite a lot of people, but they are much less than those in Wuyishan. After you finish your work, come and stay with me for a few days," Zhang Yuanjun invited his wife to come over. "The environment is good, the air is good, and the food is good. We will live here. After a few days, I said I didn’t want to go back.”

"I don't have time," Liu Yifei said with a smile. "The crew has a lot of things to do, and now I'm still short of money. I want to make up for it myself, and I don't want to delay it any longer."

"I just need to make up for it if I don't have much money. It's not worth it to exhaust my wife for that little money." The first half of the sentence was quite serious, but the second half started to drift.

"Bah, you still feel sorry for me?" Liu Yifei didn't buy it.

"Is Venice going to be on the list?" Zhang Yuanjun suddenly asked.

"Yeah, it will definitely be released this month." Liu Yifei predicts that it will be almost there soon. She is confident about being shortlisted. "Zhang Yimou, it's not like he won't be able to enter the main competition."

"The Invisible Guest" restarted in Tianbaoyan Scenic Area. Five days later, the Venice Film Festival officially announced the list of judges for the main competition.

The chairman is Alfonso Cuaron, and the first judge under his name is Hou Xiaoxian.

Zhang Yuanjun looked at it and smiled. (End of chapter)
