China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 218: Box office target, a fantasy? 【Please subscribe】

Beijing, Xingmei International Cinema.

With Sun Yi, Zhang Guoli, Zhou Xun and other main creative staff once again taking the stage, today's premiere has entered the final stage, with reporters interviewing.

A young female reporter wearing glasses was lucky enough to be chosen to ask the first question.

"Director Sun Yi, hello, I, uh, sorry, I'm a little excited."

"It's okay, just speak slowly."

"Well, it's like this. First of all, as a movie fan, a fan who loves Chinese movies, I only represent myself personally. I would like to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for letting me see such an excellent movie. Really , I think it is very rare, and I personally think it will be the best Chinese film this year."

The young female reporter was a little excited. After hearing this, Sun Yi replied to her with a smile:
"Thank you for your recognition. As a director, this is the greatest compliment I have ever received. Thank you also."

The female reporter asked again.

"As a reporter, I would like to ask, you are so young, even if you were not standing in front of me alive, I would not believe that the director of this movie is only 20 years old, and there is no doubt that this movie was successful , I want to ask, how do you feel now?"

Sun Yi held the microphone in his hand, thought for a moment, and answered:
"What I feel right now is definitely very happy, but the main thing is actually gratitude."

"I think it is absolutely not an exaggeration to call a film a director's dream, and the process of realizing a dream is always full of thorns, and this is also the case with "The Unknown"."

"From the creation of the script, to the selection of actors, to filming and release, my colleagues and I overcame many difficulties and obstacles. Fortunately, the answer sheet we finally handed in was passing."

"Here, I really want to thank Chairman Han Sanping of China Film Group. Without the support of Director Han, this movie would not have appeared in front of everyone so smoothly. After all, you can see that as a director, I really lack persuasion due to my age. However, Director Han did not see me clearly because of this. Instead, he encouraged me many times and helped me a lot. Thank you very much."

Sun Yi answered very stupidly. He talked about his personal feelings and then turned the topic to his gratitude to Director Han.

He thought that if Director Han was happy and waved his hand, and added one or two percentage points to the film arrangement, he would make a lot of money here.

Besides, this is not just flattery on his part. The China Film Group has indeed spared no efforts in supporting this film. Whether it is promotion or release, it is almost the same as the treatment of a "biological son".

There was also a burst of applause at the scene.

Facing Sun Yi's thanks, Han Sanping, who was sitting in the audience, also clapped along with his face glowing.

"Also, I want to thank all the actors in the crew."

As he spoke, Sun Yi took a step back and gave up the center position of the stage to the leading actors.

"Teachers Zhang Guoli, Teacher Zhou Xun, Teacher Wang Yanhui, including Zhang Yi, Yang Mi, and Wan Qian, they are all very good actors. Without their help, there would not be such a wonderful movie. Please give me another round of applause give them."

All the leading actors waved to everyone on the stage.

The scene erupted into a roar again.

The interview continues.

This time it was a middle-aged male reporter.

"Director Sun Yi, hello, I am a reporter from Beijing Commercial Daily. I would like to ask, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"

"Of course, the more the better."

"So do you have a number in mind?"

"Well, if the box office can exceed [-] million, I think my colleagues and I will be very happy."

"Wow"

Hearing that Sun Yi's goal is to exceed [-] million in box office, the audience burst into exclamations, and everyone seemed to think this goal was a bit appalling.

In this era, all movies with a box office of over [-] million are starring Hong Kong and Taiwan stars or feature large-scale costume productions.

The movie "The Unknown" does not feature A-list celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it is not a costume theme. The full cost was less than 1500 million.

So many people think Sun Yi is bragging.

Moreover, for directors these days, except for director Feng Xiaogang, who compares himself to a cook, few directors are willing to talk about the movie box office, which is considered a kind of blasphemy. Most of them talk about the artistry and educational significance of the movie. something on.

So now Sun Yi is talking about box office expectations, and even stated a goal of over [-] million, which is indeed a bit unique.

Sun Yi has never thought about this at all. The movies of later generations have long been based on box office. He is still in the accumulation stage. The first goal is of course the box office. Besides, China Film has given such a high film scheduling rate and the treatment for this period. It's really unjustifiable if it can't get a high box office.

Moreover, in his view, the primary goal of a movie is to make the audience like it, and artistry should come second. Art is meant to serve the people and the public. Many directors have put the cart before the horse.

When the reporter heard Sun Yi's reply, he smiled contemptuously. He felt that Sun Yi was completely out of his mind and even raised a question directly regardless of the occasion of the premiere.

"Haha, Director Sun Yi, I admit that this movie is indeed very good, but if you want to achieve the box office goal of over [-] million, this is a bit of a fantasy."

"This reporter, the box office of my last film was close to 8000 million, so you can still look forward to the goal I proposed."

"Director Sun Yi, I know about your last movie, but as far as I know, you were only the leading actor, not the director."

Sun Yi was too lazy to explain to him.

"Then we can wait and see."

Hearing Sun Yi's confident answer, the reporters in the media gallery became even more excited.

This is a topic that can be speculated on.

One by one, thinking about the sharks smelling blood, they began to raise their hands more enthusiastically and ask questions.

However, this time the host must have been prompted by the day after tomorrow. The reporters chosen were all well-known media. The entire question-and-answer session lasted more than half an hour before it ended.At this point, the premiere of the movie "The Unknown" has been successfully completed.

The staff began to organize the orderly exit of the audience again.

Sun Yi apologized to all the leading actors, walked off the stage, and sent Han Director and other big guys away first.

After finishing his work here, Sun Yi turned back.

"Xiao Yi."

I heard someone calling me from a distance.

When he looked up, he saw that it was his parents. What surprised Sun Yi was that Liu Yifei and Su Chang were standing next to them.

What combination is this?
Sun Yi murmured in his heart, but he did not stop and took two steps to reach the four people.

"Dad, Mom. Yifei, Su Chang, how did you get together?"

Liu Yifei just raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Sun Yi, then withdrew her gaze, not daring to look at him at all. When she thought about how she had just cried in Sun Yi's mother's arms, her face was burning with panic.

Su Chang glanced meaningfully at his best friend and waved to Sun Yi with a smile. Just as he was about to answer, the fairy sister stared back with a helpless expression, which made Sun Yi confused.

"Hi, it's nothing, we just happened to sit together and get to know each other."

Zhang Qin's seemingly reasonable explanation actually made Liu Yifei even more embarrassed.

"The movie is very nice. I wish you a big hit at the box office. Today is your premiere, so you must be very busy. Changchang and I will leave first and we will talk later."

After saying that, he took Su Chang's hand and ran away. After taking two steps, he turned around and bowed to Zhang Qin to say goodbye.

"Auntie, bye, uncle, bye."

"Okay, goodbye."

Sun Yi looked at Liu Yifei's back as if she was running for her life, and looked at her mother in confusion.

"What's the situation?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I've finished watching the movie. It's good. Your dad and I both liked it. Okay, your dad and I will go back first."

"No, just wait for a while and I'll see you off."

"No need, your dad and I are not even in our [-]s yet. You can go about your business and remember to thank Zhang Tuan properly."

"oh oh."

After saying that, Zhang Qin also pulled Comrade Sun away.

In less than 2 minutes, all four people were gone.

Why is this so weird?

Sun Yi shook his head. He couldn't think too much at the moment. All the leading actors were waiting for him backstage. On such a big day, as a director, he must arrange a table, so he hurried back to the backstage.

Just walked out of the theater door.

Zhang Qin pulled Comrade Sun and asked.

"Old Sun, what do you think of this girl Liu Yifei?"

"Well, it's really beautiful. It looks like it stepped out of a painting."

"Then do you think she is a little different?"

"What's the difference?"

"To both of us."

"To both of us?"

"Ang, let's say respect, that's a bit much. Let's say please, it's not that much. How should I put it, huh."

Zhang Qin was thinking as he walked, but for a moment he couldn't think of any words to describe it.

"By the way, I just care. Have you noticed that this little girl Liu Yifei cares about us two very much?"

"Care? Hiss. I didn't notice it."

"I knew it, and it would be in vain to tell you."

"Hey, you"

"What's wrong? I'm tired of seeing it and want to change it?"

"Well, I'm not as knowledgeable as you."

"Tch, as if you dare."

　I'm really sorry. I have a cold and a bad headache. I will read the next chapter tomorrow.
