China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 493 The first week’s box office and the art of charioteer [two-in-one, please vote for me]

The premiere of "The Intouchables" was a complete success, and the next day the major media were full of praise.

Zhang Li, whom I haven't seen for a long time, also commented on the film again.

"As a film critic, I was looking forward to this film when director Sun Yi won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Today I was finally lucky enough to watch the film at its premiere."

"Note that I use the word "lucky". This is not an exaggeration. In my career, I am so lucky to see such a movie."

"First of all, to prevent spoilers, let me talk about the feeling the movie gave me. The whole movie is full of warmth and hope. It shows us the real connection between people. Through the protagonist Lao Zhang and his The extraordinary friendships established by the caregivers allow us to feel how true understanding and support can change people's lives. This emotional resonance deeply touched me, and it also made me rethink the relationship between people. .”

"So, it is not just an ordinary movie, but a profound thinking about human nature."

"I think everyone has at least one close friend. You meet him at a turning point in your life, and you marvel at each other's differences or similarities. We have had many unremarkable but memorable times, no matter how different the situation is. ."

"Director Sun Yi, it can be said that I have watched him grow up step by step. From the initial audition in "Those Years" to the now famous director of the Palme d'Or, this young man's extraordinary talent has been demonstrated to us. In front of me. Let me tell you, it is the luck of the majority of movie fans."

"So, I give this movie a full five stars and strongly recommend this movie to all viewers who like to think deeply about human nature and social issues. It will give you an unforgettable movie experience."

This film review received tens of thousands of likes on the Douban movie website that day, and its rating once exceeded that of "Farewell My Concubine" by a major international director, reaching 9.4 points.

Although as the number of people watching the movie increases, the score will inevitably drop, but this score is scary enough. Not surprisingly, the final score is definitely above 9 points.

Netizens talk about Amway in various ways on the forum.

"+1 for a must-see movie in your life."

"It's so beautiful, damn, I cried when I smiled."

"I just want to say that Sun Yi is awesome. From today on, I am his absolute fan and look forward to his next film."

In China, there was no need for too much publicity. A star-studded premiere, coupled with Sun Yi's reputation as the director of the Cannes Palme d'Or, attracted countless movie fans to buy tickets to watch.

Seeing the reputation of the first wave of moviegoers explode, those who were a little hesitant also took action. For a while, the movie tickets for "The Intouchables" were as expensive as paper in Luoyang, and they were impossible to buy.

"Xiao Yi, I have adjusted the filming of our Star International Cinema, and 80% of it will be given to "The Intouchables"."

"Brother Fan, in this case, our eating looks are a bit too ugly."

Sun Yi was a little concerned, obviously he had not yet adapted to the mode of playing football and being a referee at the same time.

Yang Fan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, we haven't violated any rules at all. What are we afraid of? Besides, the audience now votes with their feet. We will rank whatever the audience likes to watch. There is no mistake at all."

It turns out that in the domestic film market, there are two models for movie theater production. One is to arrange films independently. This is mostly seen in small theaters in third or fourth cities, or independent theaters in big cities.

One is that the theater chain management department guides the film arrangement. All major domestic theater chains, including Star International, follow this model. The management department will issue certain guidance based on different movie types and themes, such as 100%. How many, or no less than a certain number of scenes, are generally movies with a main theme and promotional mission.

Others generally have a floating space, allowing theaters to make their own decisions based on actual conditions. This space generally fluctuates by 20%.

The figure of 20% is not much different from the theater chain's own film production. Therefore, for general types of films, theater chains have strong independent film arrangement capabilities.

But this time "Untouchable" is different. I don't know if the management department forgot about it or if it was done deliberately.

He did not issue relevant guidance, that is to say, he just let it go and arranged it as he pleased.

This gives theaters huge room for maneuver. If you have money, you would be a fool not to make money.

Major theater chains have adjusted their film schedules one after another, and have given "The Intouchables" a film schedule of more than 50%. Of course, there are some who are stubborn about it, but facts have proved it.

Movies of the same period are really just too mud to hold up the wall.

I gave you a chance, but you didn’t use it.

In this way, "The Intouchables" emerged strongly during the summer vacation. The box office reached 3000 million RMB on the first day of release. Although it was narrowly missed by the first-day record of 2 million won by "Transformers 3300", it also broke the record set in 08. "Red Cliff" set a first-day box office record of 2700 million, becoming the new holder of the first-day box office record for Chinese-language films.

The movie premiered on Friday, followed by the weekend. As the movie's reputation continued to grow, a large number of movie fans began to flock to the theater.

The box office broke a new high on Saturday, reaching 3500 million, and on Sunday it exceeded 4000 million in one fell swoop, becoming the first domestic film to have a box office of over 9.2 million in its first week. The film's reputation has always been maintained, and its score has been maintained at points. It can be called an insurmountable milestone in Chinese-language films.

"Cheers~"

On the day the movie exceeded 100 million in its first week and the results were announced, a small celebration party was held inside Starry Sky Video. Everyone was happy for the success of the movie.

As the general manager of the company, Yang Fan was even more excited. He took the latest overseas box office statistics and read aloud to everyone:

"In overseas markets, in Europe, in the first week of its release, it achieved first-week box office champions in 2500 countries including France, Germany, Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands, with a total box office revenue of US$ million, making it the number one overseas movie ticket warehouse and good word-of-mouth response.”

"It was also released for one week in Japan and South Korea, and the box office in the first week exceeded US$800 million. In other words, including the US$200 million in domestic and Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions, our film's global box office in the first week exceeded US$5000 million."

"Next, it depends on the box office results in North America. I believe it will be successful."

"Wow~~~ If you succeed, you will definitely win!"

clap clap.

The crowd clapped and cheered, and at the same time began to toast Sun Yi, the biggest contributor to the movie and their good boss.

Zhang Yi: “Boss, would you like to give out a red envelope?”

Sun Yi: "As long as you stay away from me, I will do it."

Wan Qian: "The boss is so handsome, let's have a drink."

Sun Yi: "If you can talk, do it."

Sun Yi didn't refuse anyone who came, and he drank with everyone while having fun. After a while, his face was slightly smoky from drinking, and his tongue was a little bent.

Zhou Xun held the wine glass and looked at the scene in front of him, his big and smart eyes turned into a crescent moon, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.

Strictly speaking, the group of people present were all younger than her in age. Zhang Songwen, who looked the most anxious, was actually two years younger than her. It could be said that they were all her younger siblings.

It has been 1991 years since she started her acting career in 18 when she starred in the drama film "The Tomb". She has experienced ups and downs in the entertainment industry, and has overseen all kinds of intrigues, flattery and contempt.

With her current status as a double-gold actress, no matter which film and television company she goes to, she is at the top level. It is not that no other companies have contacted her, but she has sternly rejected them. After joining Starry Sky for two years, she has such a big family in the company. The atmosphere and thriving vitality made her feel extremely comfortable and she didn't want to leave at all. She even didn't bother to open a personal studio as suggested by Sun Yi.

Zhou Xun looked at it for a while and suddenly found that Liu Yifei was a little strange today, so he leaned over out of curiosity.

"What's wrong, Sissi, you look a little strange today."

"No, sister, I'm fine."

Zhou Xun smiled faintly and joked: "Isn't that right? Normally when Sun Yi drinks like this, you would have gone up to help him stop the drink. Why are you sitting here indifferent today?" Faced with Zhou Xun's teasing gaze, Liu Yifei She couldn't help but blush, and spat:

"Whoever is willing to take care of him would be better off drinking him to death."

"Hey, the young couple had a fight?"

Liu Yifei lowered her head and remained silent, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Let me guess, is this kid attracting bees and butterflies?" Zhou Xun opened his big bright eyes and said firmly.

Hearing what Zhou Xun said, Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance in Sun Yi's direction, and then nodded slowly.

"That's a guess."

Zhou Xun chuckled, then raised his glass and took a sip, then moved closer and whispered to Liu Yifei in a low voice: "Sister, I'll teach you."

"Sissi, you have to know that in our circle, this kind of thing is unavoidable. To be honest, if it weren't for the big age gap between my sisters, I would have been attracted to this guy. Look, the 22-year-old Cannes Palme d'Or director , he is handsome, he has founded such a big company, and everything is prospering, what woman can’t be moved by looking at him.”

"As long as I can get close to him and act in a few plays, I will gain fame and fortune. Isn't that what people in our circle have in their lives? He is so young and is not much better than those old guys. I Let me tell you, it’s still mild now, but this kind of thing will become more and more serious in the future.”

"He is Tang Monk's flesh now. These female fairies can't help but pounce on him. They use various means and methods that you can't even think of. You can't stop them by getting angry, relying on day and night defense. of."

Liu Yifei couldn't help but stir her fingers, and looked at Zhou Xun with a pair of beautiful eyes. Obviously, she had also thought of these problems, but she didn't know how to deal with them.

"Then, sister, what do you think we should do?"

Zhou Xun took Liu Yifei's hand, patted it gently, and said with a smile like a worldly expert:

"Sister, I'll teach you, you have to pamper this man, and you have to be able to coax him, just treat him like a child, but at the same time, you can't just be nice to him, you have to tie a rope around him. The side is in your hands. When nothing happens, give him a break and let him go out for a while. But if you see something is wrong, pull him back in time."

"Give him a little sweetness from time to time, so that he can relax."

Zhou Xun used his experience gained from his lack of quality and relying solely on quantity advantages to become an emotional counselor for Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei listened extremely seriously. She held her lips together and nodded as if she had made up her mind.

That night, Sun Yi was staggered back to the small courtyard by Liu Yifei. As soon as he entered the house, Liu Yifei threw him on the sofa. He didn't care and went to wash up and rest.

After being confused on the sofa for a long time, Sun Yi almost fell asleep before Liu Yifei woke him up and went to wash up.

Sun Yi steeled himself and walked into the bathroom. He took off his clothes and turned on the faucet. The warm water poured down, and the smell of alcohol immediately dissipated.

My mind was a little clearer, and I couldn't help but think about the next work.

All the exterior scenes of "Wings in the Sky" have been shot, and there are still some interior scenes that need to be reshot. It will take about half a month, and then we can start post-production. Calculating the time, there are still 5 months before the end of the year, so we should be able to make it in time. .

The other one is the launch plan of Starry Sky Video. We need to have final communication with Boss Xiong. It is estimated that we will need a sum of money. So "The Intouchables" will be officially released. The box office performance in various places in the first week is good. Now let's see if North America can give us one. How many points did you get on the answer sheet?

After taking a bath, I was indeed relieved from fatigue, and my drunkenness dissipated a lot. I hugged my quilt and walked to the sofa, and started to make the bed and fold the quilt.

There was no way, life was miserable, Xiao Nizi was serious this time, she said she wouldn't let her go to bed, but she really didn't let her go to bed, and she didn't even let her enter the house.

Hey, wait, just now?

Sun Yi's reaction was slow for a moment, and he suddenly realized that when he passed by the bedroom, the door was not closed, and there was still a crack left, and there was still a faint light inside.

Is this the legendary Liumen?

Sun Yi was so happy that he immediately put down the half-covered bedding in his hands, turned around and tiptoed towards the bedroom. He first stayed close to the door and eavesdropped for a while. After finding that there was no movement inside, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

The worst he could do was get beaten up.

Then, he gently opened the door.

The bedside lamp is on in the room, and the warm yellow color makes people feel very comfortable.

Liu Yifei was wearing a suspender nightgown and was half leaning on the bedside reading a book by the light.

The curled-up legs are used as a bookshelf, and the lace-edged skirt naturally hangs down the erect thighs. Because of the angle, Xiao Nizi's beautiful legs to her buttocks are all exposed to the air. Looking at the light, the difference between light and darkness becomes deeper and deeper as you go down.

Her long black hair was spread casually, her plump cherry lips bit a finger, and she gently turned a page after a few seconds.

As she turned the book, a sling slid down her shoulders playfully along her smooth skin.

At this moment, the summer cicada in the small courtyard began to chirp, as if it was Sun Yi's restless heart.

bang bang bang...

Sun Yi felt his heartbeat speed up.

"Who let you in?"

"Well, um, my wife, Sissy, it's been three days, this punishment is almost over."

Liu Yifei didn't even raise her head, and said in a cold tone, "Go out and close the door."

"No"

Sun Yi stood there and hesitated for a long time, but Liu Yifei did not make any move.

It seems that he is still upset.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, turned around slowly, and slowly walked out of the bedroom. In the end, he could only reluctantly close the door.

Just when the door was about to close.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"Hey, I know, I know, wife, I won't dare to do it next time." Sun Yi quickly opened the door and assured him calmly.

Liu Yifei turned another page of the book called "Chinese Almanac" on her lap, and the corners of her mouth hidden by her hair couldn't help but curl up.

"Then come up."

　Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you!
