Chapter 768 Guest appearance, premiere

Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" proved his ability to "make money without doing anything". Although "One Step Away" did not perform well at the box office, it did not affect everyone's expectations for "Hidden Man".

"Hidden Man" was released on its first day last Friday, and its Douban score was 8.2 at noon.

The box office revenue exceeded 100 million yuan for two consecutive days, which seems to indicate that the market still has a certain degree of recognition of Jiang Wen.

However, as time went by, the word-of-mouth situation of this movie changed completely. The Douban score dropped to 7.2, and it seemed that it was destined not to be a movie that was widely recognized by the public.

The box office on the third and fourth days fell below the 100 million yuan mark, earning only 80 million and 40 million yuan, which was a clear sign of fatigue.

"I'm confused. Both film critics and industry insiders say the movie is good, so why don't the audience go to see it?"

Jiang Wen was very puzzled and couldn't figure it out by himself.

"If you can't figure it out by yourself, just ask your friends. Director Li and Director Zhang can probably tell you something, right?"

Zhou Yun brought over a cup of ginseng tea, blew on it, and handed it to Jiang Wen.

"I just told Lao Li that we would break 1 billion last time. If this continues, I will lose face."

Jiang Wen was not a gentleman either. He picked up the ginseng tea and drank it all in two gulps, which made Zhou Yun smile helplessly.

"Forget it, forget it. I'd better figure it out on my own first."

"."

On the other side, the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

Ning Hao, Lu Yang, Wang Zhi and other guest stars arrived one after another.

Today we specifically filmed the guest appearance scenes, which were finally decided in order to get a few people together.

When Ning Hao arrived, he was a little surprised to see Lu Yang was already there.

"Damn, you were also called by Lao Li?"

"Director Li saw that I hadn't been out for a few months, so he asked me to come here to get some fresh air."

"Come on, he just wants to make you do hard labor. Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to get some fresh air? Why didn't you go to the premiere of Evil Never Dies a few days ago?"

Ning Hao sat down on the chair carelessly.

"I heard you slandering me from a distance, get out of here as soon as the filming is over."

Li Mu walked out from behind Guo Fan with a smile, and with him came Wang Zhi who had just finished putting on makeup.

When Wang Zhi appeared with a somewhat haggard look, Ning Hao and Lu Yang were both confused and muttered to themselves.

"Lu Yang, do you feel that he looks familiar?"

"Director Ning, there is a little bit, but I can't remember it for the moment. I should have seen a movie." Lu Yang seemed to be searching in his mind, and suddenly he had an inspiration, "I remember it, it was Wang Zhi's "Charlotte's Troubles."

"."

"Hello, Director Ning and Director Lu!" Wang Zhi greeted them with a smile.

"Um, hello, hello!"

"Okay, let's get started." Li Mu shouted upon seeing this, and then entered the studio.

In fact, Wang Zhi only has two shots. I guess even after the movie is released, the audience won’t be able to find where he is.

The first shot is that Wang Zhi was abandoned and sent into the underground city because he had a terminal illness, and there is a shot of him lying on the hospital bed.

Other than that, he only appeared in a family photo and had no lines in the entire scene.

The difficulty was originally very low, and Wang Zhi's acting skills were also good. After a while, the crew had cleaned up the venue.

"So fast!"

"It's just a cameo, probably just one or two scenes, I don't know what Director Li has arranged for me."

Lu Yang was also a little curious.

"Let's have lunch together later." Li Mu called to Wang Zhi who was removing her makeup.

"Okay, Director Li."

"It's your turn now. Lao Ning, you will play the role of a businessman selling skewers. Here is the script."

"Lu Yang, um, a security inspector."

Li Mu took two sheets of A4 paper and handed one to each person.

"The global broadcast leaves humanity to fend for itself." Ning Hao took a look at the brief content on the A4 paper and tried to figure out the mood of the performance.

Lu Yang was relaxed and didn't need to figure it out at all.

"Go change your clothes, hurry up."

".I said he wanted us to do the hard labor." Ning Hao chattered to Lu Yang as he went to the dressing room.

At noon, Li Mu invited a few people to have a simple meal in the restaurant.

"Don't be so restrained. You are playing the protagonist's mother here. Maybe you will work with Director Guo in the second film." Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he saw that Wang Zhi seemed a little restrained.

"Ah?" Wang Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems that this is still a series." Ning Hao said with a smile.

"By the way, have you seen Jiang Wen's new movie?" Ning Hao asked casually at the dinner party.

"No, I'm still thinking about the script of "Assassination of Novelist" and I don't have time." Lu Yang shook his head.

"You're just a homebody, you're working on a script like you're in seclusion." Ning Hao teased. "We don't either, the crew can't leave." Guo Fan picked up a piece of meat and said while chewing.

Ning Hao also said while eating:

"Don't tell me, I feel that Jiang Wen's film's allusions to the characters, various metaphors, some criticisms, some satires, are quite well done. It can be said to be a good movie, but it's a pity for the box office!"

"Do you think the audience can understand it? Do they enjoy watching it?" Li Mu asked back.

"It's hard to say. I guess netizens will have to look up some metaphors and allusions online. I enjoyed watching it, but do you think it was really enjoyable? I feel that the narrative is not as clear as "Let the Bullets Fly", but it is much better than "One Step Away"."

"I think it's difficult. For ordinary people, their work is already very busy and they just want to relax for an hour or two. It's so obscure that the audience is probably in a state of 'half satisfied'. I guess this is also the reason why the film doesn't have much staying power."

Regarding "Evil Never Dies", Li Mu can only say that the box office is acceptable, but it is unlikely to become a hit.

As expected, for several days in a row, the box office was around 20 to 30 million. After struggling to make it to the second Friday, the box office was only 20 million. It can only be said that the threshold of 600 million is like a ceiling, untouchable.

What followed was an intensive publicity campaign for "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

As the first comedy film of the summer vacation, and produced by Mengying Media and Happy Twist, it has captured the attention of the audience.

Recently, the "funny blockbuster" version of the trailer and promotional poster were exposed.

The trailer of the "funny blockbuster" has generously revealed the main plot line: the down-and-out goalkeeper Wang Duoyu (played by Shen Teng) encounters an unexpected and bizarre challenge - he must spend all the windfall within a month and perform "72 ways of spending money" in the name of his dream.

In order to show his "nouveau riche" character, Mr. Wang spends money recklessly.

The various exaggerated "tycoon" posters are hilarious! !
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your trouble this time."

Tencent COO Ren Yu called Li Mu to express his gratitude, because this time "Rocket Girls 101" also got on the train of "The Richest Tomato".

The character promotional poster of "The Richest Tomato" also includes the "Rocket Girls 101 Group", which is equivalent to a good advertisement for the team.

"It's mutually beneficial. Recently, Rocket Girls 101 is also very popular and is known as the top girl group in the domestic entertainment industry."

"No, no, compared to Boss Li, we are still far behind. If Boss Li could give them some resources, it would be a huge boost."

"Mr. Ren, you are exaggerating. How can Tencent's resources be worse than Mengying's? Well, I still have a filming assignment. Can we talk about it when we return to the capital?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, you're busy first."

Li Mu hung up the phone casually. As for the fact that there were songs by Rocket Girls 101 in "The Richest Tomato", on the one hand, it was required by the plot, and on the other hand, it was just a matter of a phone call, so it didn't matter.

The release date of "The Richest Tomato" is July 7, and the premiere time is moved forward a few days to July 27.

Liu Yifei plans to go to the cinema with Shu Chang and show her support.

Li Mu naturally wouldn't stop him.

It was just that the premiere day happened to be the first typhoon storm in BJ in 20 years. Fortunately, Liu Yifei left early, and the red carpet was moved from outdoors to indoors that day.

"Director Xu, Sister Tao Hong!"

"Director Lu Yang."

"Sister Wang Zhi"

A lot of people came that night, and Liu Yifei and Shu Chang greeted each of them.

"Look, I'm here at the premiere." Liu Yifei knew that Li Mu didn't have much work to do tonight and had finished work long ago, so she even made a video call to him.

Li Mu also looked at the people coming in the direction of the camera, and they were pretty much the same.

But Lu Yang, this otaku, actually walked out of the studio. Li Mu thought that after his guest appearance, this guy would have to stay in the studio for another month or two.

"Director Li!"

Everyone also saw Li Mu in the video and greeted him.

"How about the live premiere? Is it fresh?" Liu Yifei smiled and pointed the camera at Shen Teng and others on the stage.

"Director Yan, look, isn't that Director Li on the screen of Yifei? Why do I look so much like him?"

Shen Teng naturally showed his slightly leaky teeth.

"What does it look like? That's it." Yan Fei scolded with a smile.

"Sing, do you find it weird that Brother Teng is wearing a dark purple velvet suit? The more you look at him, the funnier he becomes."

Liu Yifei whispered in Shu Chang's ear.

The latter also observed carefully and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"I originally intended to get along with you as a normal person, but what I got in return was alienation."

"I'm not pretending anymore. I'm a billionaire and I'm telling you my cards."

"You are the most polite one among all the snobs."

As many funny lines were presented one by one, the entire theater was filled with laughter.

There's almost a small laugh every minute and a big laugh every five minutes.

But with the appearance of "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick", everyone was stunned.

It's funny on one hand, but more importantly, it makes everyone think of one thing.

“After graduation, I have been thinking about investment. If my mother hadn’t forced me to go downstairs and move around every day, I would not have planned to leave.

Let me make it clear in advance, my fees are very high and I don’t want a salary, but if I help you make money, I will take 10% of your profits.”
