Chapter 495 If an artist is not narcissistic, then he is doing nothing
"During the premiere, did you have anything left to say?"

Jiang Wen asked calmly. He felt that Li Mu had something unsaid at that time.

At that time, he was too confident and didn't pay much attention. Looking back now, he felt a little enlightened.

"No, is there such a thing?"

Li Mu just pretended to be stupid, and it felt like that.

"Come on, stop pretending. I don't know you yet. You must have something you didn't say. Don't worry. Speak out boldly. I can bear it."

Jiang Wen was on the other end of the phone and said carelessly, "The negative reviews have been overwhelming in the past two days. I can still take your words seriously."

"You don't even care about it anymore, why are you still listening to me!"

Li Mu crossed his legs on the sofa and responded casually.

"."

"But, if an artist is not narcissistic, then what the hell!"

Li Mu saw that it was almost the same, so he added this sentence to Jiang Wen, lest this guy might be depressed to death recently.

Seeing that Jiang Wen was a little depressed, Li Mu complained first, "I want to say that you are too narcissistic. What did you take the picture of? Is it a love letter to Zhou Yun?"

"One Step Away" was a pretentious musical before the election in Huayu. As for why the "President" Shu Qi, who has repeatedly won the election and has an anchor voice, fell in love with Jiang Wen, the audience can only learn from Jiang Wen's narration. Get results.

As a result, the courtship, sleeping and marriage proposal failed, and the deceitful and abducted team leader Jiang Wen and Shu Qi began to enter a crazy and surreal context.

Li Mu knocked on the edge of the table next to the sofa, "Based on the current results, I estimate it will be 500-600 million!"

Li Mu saw this and immediately suggested.

"Hahaha, Lao Li, you still understand me. What you say makes sense. If an artist is not narcissistic, then what the hell!!!!"

When Jiang Wen heard this, his depressed mood suddenly disappeared. He had been depressed by all the negative reviews in the past few days.

"Can't it be higher?"

To be honest, no one can stand Jiang Wen's narcissism. When making a movie, it feels like his personal inner monologue, and everyone else has to guess.

"I understand what you are saying!"

Jiang Wen was silent for a while, "I probably guessed what you were going to say."

"You know shit."

Jiang Wen is not really stupid. He is just a little arrogant this time and was dazzled by "Let the Bullets Fly". He is not so blind as to go down the path of narcissism.

This complaint is not unreasonable.

However, after Shu Qi's unexplained death, "One Step Away" completely became a love letter dedicated to his wife Zhou Yun.

"By the way, where do you think "One Step Away" will go at the box office?"

With the current polarized reputation, he himself wouldn't believe it if the box office could really go all the way up.

Jiang Wen felt much better, but reality is reality. Although the box office on the first day was nearly 100 million, this was achieved with pre-sales.

"But don't be so narcissistic next time and restrain yourself a little bit."

Jiang Wen was a little unwilling to give up. He had to lose a lot. After losing a lot of money in "The Sun Also Rises" last time, he owed a favor for a long time before using "Let the Bullets Fly" to pay it back.

Here we go again.

".This is what I said, just go higher if you can."

Li Mu said angrily, "If the audience doesn't buy tickets, are you begging him?" "The pre-sales have exceeded 3 million, which means that the subsequent box office will only be about 2 million."

Jiang Wen's heart dropped a lot. He estimated that he would lose half of his investment if he followed the predicted data.

"."

Li Mu spoke again before sending Jiang Wen away.

However, just a while later, Bona Pictures suddenly announced that its 3D movie "Taking Tiger Mountain" directed by Tsui Hark will be moved up one day, from the original 24:7 on the 23th, to 17 hours in advance, to on the rd. Released on time.

Obviously, he wanted to use this short half-day to accumulate word-of-mouth and improve the reputation of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", so as to boost the film's box office in the first weekend.

But this is a pain for the current "One Step Away".

During its opening weekend, "One Step Away" had no competitors. While receiving polarized reviews, it also earned a box office of 3.35 million in its opening weekend. Compared with the 1.8 million box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" in its opening weekend four years ago, it increased. 1.86 times.

不过2011年底中国银幕数9200块，2014年截止三季度银幕数已达22420块，增幅高达244%。

Combining this data and considering that "Let the Bullets Fly" is a 2D ticket price and "One Step Away" is a 3D ticket price, in fact, "One Step Away" had far fewer moviegoers than "Let the Bullets Fly" in its opening weekend. Bullets Fly".

Li Mu was communicating with Liu Weijuan about some plans for next year.

"In addition to several planned films next year, films by Lu Yang and Guo Fan will also enter the production cycle."

Li Mu ordered calmly.

"Director Li, you don't have a plan?"

After Liu Weijuan finished recording in her notebook, she asked specifically. After all, Li Mu's movies have always been the backbone of the company.

"It's hard to say next year, but I have a science fiction film that needs to be prepared in advance. It won't be too soon."

Li Mu and Liu Weijuan explained some details. Of course, some specific matters still need to be taken care of by some specialized people. Guo Fan can do it, but it is best for him to come and catch it for a period of time after the filming of "The Revenant" is completed.

"The independence of the animation department will be carried out after "The Return of the Great Sage", so be prepared in advance."

Li Mu did not forget his previous promise to Tian Xiaopeng.

"Understood, I have already prepared in advance."

Liu Weijuan nodded. Li Mu had explained it once before. After all, independence is not a trivial matter and involves many things.

This means that Mengying Media has not yet been listed on the market. Otherwise, if it wants to become independent, it will probably take a lot of struggle, and it may not be possible.

After Liu Weijuan left, Li Mu had nothing else to do. He was bored and took a look at major film and television media forums.

These days, "One Step Away" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" are the most popular, and there are news about these two movies everywhere.

Of course, there is also "One Step Away" that failed to meet expectations, causing worries about the annual target of 300 billion yuan. Therefore, the imported film "Doomsday" bucked the trend and joined the Lunar New Year movie to catch up with the last train of 2014. Let's see if it can become the "one" to achieve the annual target of 300 billion yuan. reinforcement".

However, what Li Mu is most concerned about are some of the real problems that the current state media criticizes about the current movie marketing.

In recent years, due to the extremely hot market in the film and television industry, the growth rate has doubled every year, which has led to a variety of marketing methods for some movies.

Some films with mediocre or even inferior quality even blindly bombard the public by hyping up socially sensitive topics such as extramarital affairs, plastic surgery, and one-night stands, or gossipy news about celebrities getting married, having children, or breaking up.

However, in the end, the box office was not low. It is probably because of the sweetness that this type of marketing has only increased in recent years.

Li Mu thought about it carefully, then wrote an email and sent it to Liu Weijuan.

He has no control over other companies, but Mengying Media cannot use this type of marketing.
