This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 395: Saving the market, is this a simple small goal?
On June 6, when the box office figures for the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival were released, many people's first reaction was that the city was really saved by art films.

"Damn, I really didn't expect that Sunspots would actually make over 100 million yuan on its first day!!"

"I really didn't expect that an art film would have a box office of over 100 million yuan on its first day."

"In fact, I should be able to think of it. Apart from anything else, the reputation of this art film is very good, and Lin Xing's box office appeal is also very strong."

……

“Although the movie ‘No One Lost’ has been taken away, I think ‘Sunspots’ might really boost the market.”

"The market is a little hot, and Sunspots has grossed over 100 million yuan on its first day. It may rise sharply in the future."

"Yes, I think so too."

……

At present, the box office of "Sunspots" on the first day has exceeded 1.3 million yuan. Not only has it exceeded million yuan, but the box office on the first day has reached million yuan.

This did not break the first-day box office record for art films, because an art film previously defrauded 1.5 million yuan in the first-day box office.

But the final box office of that movie was less than 2 million.

It can be said to be a complete scam film.

However, "Sunspots" is not like that. The current reputation of "Sunspots" is still very strong, and Lin Xing's acting skills are as strong as ever.

As a result, everyone even thinks that the box office of the next movie "Sunspots" may continue to break new records.

At the beginning, when Lin Xing was interviewed, he mentioned a small goal of 10 billion. At that time, many people thought that Lin Xing was talking nonsense.

But no one would have thought that according to the current box office trend, "Sunspots" might actually break 10 billion.

Even Lao Zhong was a little confused.

She just said that the two art films in the summer season cannot save the market.

As it turned out, she did guess that the box office of the art film "No One Lost" was not very good, with only 1000 million on the first day, but the first-day box office of "Sunspots" reached 1.3 million.

To be honest, Lao Zhong thinks that it is not easy for the movie "Sunspots" to have a first-day box office of 50 or 60 million.

Firstly, no one expected that this year's summer season would be so quiet. This quietness resulted in many viewers losing interest in watching movies, and cinemas are almost going bankrupt.

Secondly, as everyone has been saying before, "Sunspots" is an art film, and art films are inherently niche.

An actor can't decide anything, and even a director can't decide anything.

What's more, Ning Ping is a great director, but this great director often has a good reputation at major film festivals and is highly praised by the industry.

In terms of passers-by's reputation, it is indeed average.

For this reason, Lao Zhong wrote that using art films to save the market during this summer's season was a typical mistake.

But no one expected that "Sunspots" would earn 1.3 million yuan on the first day.

too strong.

Lao Zhong wrote directly on his Weibo: "I was slapped in the face. I should have continued to believe in Lin Xing, but I still can't believe this, because I think it's a bit crazy that "Sunspots" took 1.3 million on the first day???"

Not only Lao Zhong, many people in the industry were amazed.

"Lin Xing broke into the film industry so easily."

"Don't tell me, everyone says Lin Xing is lucky, but to be honest, someone like Lin Xing is already quite strong in the TV drama industry, and now he's even stronger in the movie industry."

"It will depend on whether Sunspot can maintain its performance. If it can continue to hit a new high in the next two days, then this movie will really boost the market."

……

Many people are currently discussing the movie "Sunspots", and it has even received a lot of extra attention because of its first-day box office of 1.3 million.

Especially the aura that Lin Xing brings with him.

This halo is indeed extremely strong.

Since Lin Xing has won many awards in the field of TV dramas, when he breaks into the film industry, many people want to see whether Lin Xing will fail like others.

What no one expected was that after Lin Xing broke in, the box office of his first movie, which he invested in, exceeded 100 million yuan.

The box office of art films exceeded 100 million yuan, which made Lin Xing's debut film a great success.

Of course, even now many people still think that Lin Xing is just lucky.

There are too many coincidences in the fact that the box office of the movie "Killing Ading" exceeded 100 million.

For this reason, many people are watching Lin Xing’s second movie, “Sunspots”.

At the beginning, everyone thought that "Sunspots" might not be a big hit at the box office, after all, it is an art film, but since it was directed by Ning Ping, it might not be a big flop.

Everyone reasonably inferred that if the box office of "Sunspots" could reach 1 million, it would be considered a success.

It is not easy for an art film to break the 100 million mark.

If we add Ning Ping's appeal, Lin Xing's appeal, Bohai Film and Television's promotion and so on, then two or three hundred million is normal.

5 million is an extraordinary performance.

Even Bohai Film and Television doesn’t dare to dream of the 10 billion goal.

But in the next two days, the situation changed.

On June 6, "Sunspots" grossed 19 million yuan on its first day, breaking Lin Xing's new first-day box office record.

At this moment, everyone gave applause to Lin Xing, and at the same time, they felt envy, jealousy and hatred.

Many people even said: "Lin Xing's last movie was luck, but this movie can't be said to be luck too?"

However, those who doubt will always have doubts. For example, Lin Xing was lucky to have found a good team, and some people still think that the box office of this movie is because of Ning Ping.

Ning Ping is a master of art films, and he is the best at coordinating commercial and art films. His previous films all had decent box office performances, and this time it is a result of his accumulated strength.

Many people say this.

Next, on June 6, the second day of its release, the single-day box office of "Sunspots" reached 20 million.

June 6st is Father's Day.

Although many people are not very keen on celebrating Father's Day, after all, everyone thinks that men don't spend much, but even so, "Sunspots" was still used as a promotional song for Father's Day.

This song, combined with the scene in "Sunspots" where Zhao Xiaodao and others become fathers, actually touched many people.

With such publicity, the box office of "Sunspots" reached 1.5 million on that day.

In three days, the box office of "Sunspots" has been gradually and steadily increasing.

Three days after its release, Sunspots grossed over 3 million yuan. The market was on fire.

The summer market originally lacked a leader. Before "Sunspots" was released, the market was very quiet for almost a month, and the movies that were released later were not very good either.

And this time, "Sunspots" finally saved the film market.

The entire "Sunspots" crew was really full of energy.

"Based on this trend, I think 10 billion is really the bottom line."

Liu Jing said excitedly: "Axing, I want to apologize to you. The fact proves that you see further."

Luo Yuan also said: "Yeah, I thought before that it would be good if the box office of "Sunspots" could break 4 million, but I didn't expect it to break 3 million in just 4 days."

Even Ning Ping said with a smile: "I regret it now. I really should have asked Ah Xing to shout out the slogan of 30 billion box office. What if it succeeds?"

This time, the box office of "Sunspots" may break the record, so Ning Ping is also somewhat happy.

As mentioned before, there is no movie director who doesn't like high box office.

The reason why they make art films is not because they don't want to make money, but most of the time they can't make any.

Many directors in the circle are always like this. They look down on some high-grossing movies and think that what the hell are they? They can make them.

On the other hand, the films they made themselves were pretty rubbish. Not just rubbish, but completely disliked by the audience.

This is not uncommon in the circle.

This time, Ning Ping really has high hopes for the movie "Sunspots". He doesn't want to be mentioned only as a master of art films and his art films are quite awesome.

and then? ? ?
The box office is not high and is not liked by the market.

Ning Ping doesn't want this to happen. He is different from Huang Ning. Huang Ning is a big director who has earned over 30 billion yuan and has proven himself.

Ning Ping has never proven himself.

Although people in the industry say that he has adjusted art films and commercial films together, to be honest, no matter how much he adjusted, he has not yet had a movie that broke the 10 billion box office.

Of course, let alone 10 billion, he has never even broken 5 million.

Because of this, Ning Ping thought from the beginning about "Sunspots" as long as the box office could break his own record.

He invited Lin Xing because of his box office appeal. He did not intend to look at his acting skills from the beginning, as acting skills needed to be adjusted by the director.

As it turned out, Lin Xing's acting skills far exceeded Ning Ping's expectations, and now, his box office appeal is actually so strong.

Tomorrow, we will officially start the roadshow.

During these three days, the crew of "Sunspots" has been promoting the film in various cinemas in the capital, and they are doing it as if they have been injected with chicken blood.

After all, the box office is getting better and better.

Tomorrow is a working day, Monday.

By then, the box office of "Sunspots" will definitely be cut in half, but it doesn't matter anymore, because up to now, the reputation of "Sunspots" is not a problem. Let alone 5 million, Ning Ping thinks that 10 billion is a minimum.

"Ah Xing, I have to thank you. Your box office appeal is extraordinary..."

Ning Ping drank a little too much: "Tomorrow we will start the roadshow together. When the time comes, we will do the roadshow according to your instructions."

"Director Ning, you are flattering me. I don't have any box office appeal at all. Just like what netizens said, I'm just lucky. I really have to thank you for everything. This is your box office appeal..."

Lin Xing said modestly.

"Nonsense, if I had such box office appeal, would I still let Huang Ning mock me??"

Ning Ping said directly with some dissatisfaction.

Ok.

Lin Xing knew that Ning Ping and Huang Ning had actually had a grudge against each other, because the two of them had always been on different tracks.

However, at an event of the Directors' Association, Ning Ping and Huang Ning, as leading figures in art films and commercial films, naturally started a dialogue.

It just so happened that at that time, Huang Ning's new movie "The Infinite Beginning" was released and the box office was soaring, the word of mouth exploded, and the box office eventually reached 30 billion.

It is just like that. Huang Ning is in high spirits. He believes that art films and commercial films are interconnected. He thinks Ning Ping has taken the wrong approach by making art films and so on.

Anyway, Huang Ning said a lot, basically saying that Ning Ping's filming was not good, that your art film approach was wrong, and so on.

What nonsense are you talking about?

It would be fine if Huang Ning said that Ning Ping didn't have a thorough understanding of commercial films, after all, Ning Ping himself admitted this.

As a result, Huang Ning actually said that Ning Ping didn’t know how to make art films? ?
You should know that Huang Ninglun’s awards are far less than Ning Ping’s, not to mention that Ning Ping is now the only one in the field of art films.

For this reason, Ning Ping became almost as sarcastic as Huang Ning.

Do you really think art films are that easy to make?
Huang Ning even feels that he can be successful making art films. He believes that movies of any subject matter are similar.

At that time, what Huang Ning said most was that the reason why art films had poor box office performance was because you art film directors always complain without reason, and even force yourself to make so-called dark and depressing films.

this is not right.

Art films also serve the audience. They cannot be too highbrow and cannot always be about expressing opinions.

In short, Huang Ning said a lot, but to Ning Ping, you are a commercial filmmaker, what do you know about art films? ?

Naturally, neither of them could convince the other.

This time, Huang Ning filmed "No Casualties" actually to prove himself and to the industry that he can also make good art films.

Ning Ping naturally knew the truth, but he was not happy with Huang Ning's behavior and his confident attitude during the interview, as if he was making an art film and others were not.

Since neither "No Casualties" nor "Sunspots" used popular artists, there was no so-called competition, and the fans did not fight with each other. However, the previous fight between Huang Ning and Ning Ping was still dug up.

Especially this time, the box office of "Sunspots" has been rising for three consecutive days, and the predicted box office has even been adjusted from 10 billion to 15 billion. On the contrary, "No One" has directly dropped to 1.6 million.

Of course, if an art film can break 1 million, it is very good, but you have to look at the cast and the production cost.

"Killing Ading" had a low production cost, so if the box office exceeded 100 million, it would be a huge profit.

However, the production cost of "No One" starts at 1 million, and the box office at this time may not even reach 2 million.

Then you will really be doomed to failure.
