This director needs to apologize

Chapter 157 Weird Feat
After Chen Yiming understood the reason, he didn't ask any more questions, but asked directly, "Xiangrui, how do you want me to help you?"

Xiangrui on the other end of the phone replied hesitantly, "Just be a script doctor, project planner or producer for me."

Chen Yiming was so angry that he said, "Ha! You still have some AC skills, and you didn't directly assign me the job of screenwriter or assistant director."

Not only was Xiangrui not ashamed, he was able to reply instantly, "You are the newly minted director of the Palme d'Or. Who is qualified to ask you to help me? I can't agree even if I promised the school professor. Let me tell you..."

Chen Yiming quickly interrupted, "Okay, stop it. No need to put a high hat on me, just tell me what you need me to do."

There was the sound of flipping through books from the other side, and after a while the sound continued.

"Yiming, I'm actually almost ready for the project.

The current problem is that the script is not very sure, and the male lead has not yet been cast. Other than that, everything is ready, all we need is you, the master who can turn stone into gold, and then we..."

Chen Yiming interrupted again, "Wait a minute. Since the preparations are almost complete, let me ask you, have you found a production director?"

"Don't worry about this, because the filming funds are subsidized by the school, so the professor's assistant will serve as the producer as the school representative, and the two assistants will happen to be one on each side of me and Bichi."

"Have you contacted photography, lighting, recording, art, and venue management?"

"You don't trust me too much. I have been your assistant director twice, and the entire filming process is clear and complete."

"Don't talk about him. Just answer who I'm looking for."

"Well, photography and lighting are my seniors, art is my roommate, and recording and field management are my roommate's boyfriend."

"Okay, I probably understand. The male lead is currently unavailable, which means the female lead is already in sight. Let me guess, it won't be Lily, right?"

"Hahaha, Yiming and we really have a good understanding. You also think Lily is the most suitable, right?"

"Xiangrui, quickly return to your original self. The funny persona is not suitable for you at all. You are pretending to be tired, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. It was so long that Chen Yiming couldn't help but put the phone down and took a look to confirm that the line was not disconnected.

"555, Yiming, I was fooled by that Bichi. She relied on her parents' connections in the industry to squeeze me out, and the crew couldn't be built at all. Now these people are only brought together with the help of my roommate."

"I can't understand your nonsense at all. Let's do this. You write an email and send me the whole story. Attach your immature script. I'll take a closer look at it after the road show ends in the evening. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow. Let’s talk on the phone again when the time comes.”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yiming thought for a moment and dialed Da Zhuang's number, "Dazhuang, do you know about Xiangrui?"

Mr. Ma at the other end replied inexplicably, "What's wrong with Xiangrui? Isn't she in Nuts?"

"He just called me and told me that he made a bet with someone and that he would invest 100 million nut coins to make a movie."

"Impossible! Where did she get so much money? Yiming, you don't know. Xiangrui's family is indeed not short of money, but she is a poor person and relies on doing odd jobs to save for school fees in Nuts.

His father threatened that as long as she did not return to China, he would never get a penny from his family. "

Chen Yiming was shocked. What kind of thinking did this father have to bring his daughter?
"I can't talk too much about his family's weird things. Anyway, I'm sure that Xiangrui can't afford 100 million Nut coins. 10 is enough. After "1951" was completed, she flew Nut coins, and the flight tickets were reimbursed by the crew."

Seeing that it was almost the meeting time, Chen Yiming could only hang up the phone hastily, finish breakfast in a few mouthfuls, and seize the time to pack his things and go downstairs to get in the car.

After that, Chen Yiming no longer had the energy to think about Xiangrui. He went on one road show after another. Most of the limited time in between was used to answer the phone, and the rest was left to take naps to catch up on sleep.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, he was exhausted. Chen Yiming turned on his computer and checked his mailbox, but he did not receive Xiangrui's email. He didn't bother to find out, so he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When Chen Yiming woke up the next day and checked his mailbox again, he received a concise and concise email from Xiangrui. There was only one line on it, saying that the script would be sent after polishing it.

Chen Yiming could only put this matter aside for the time being and squeeze out his energy to continue working on the road show, which was busy until the end of the month.

For more than a week, Chen Yiming and others have become accustomed to a kind of half-dream and half-awake mechanical state, which is automatically activated during road shows and goes to sleep instantly after getting in the car.

At the beginning, everyone had to brace themselves and tighten their nerves to deal with the fancy audience and the cunning and mean media.

However, after the first few days passed, feedback from various aspects made everyone realize that there seemed to be no need to be so cautious, and that it was not a big deal to occasionally talk about the train.

Once a person is let go, he can't take it back. Coupled with physical and mental exhaustion, there is no way to keep his mouth shut.

For example, when Maodou talks about the actors killing pigs to practice Qi, he will intermittently put himself into the state of acting in sitcoms, causing his description to be the same every day.

On Thursday, he said he was the one taking the lead, on Friday it was Duan Yining, and on Saturday it was changed to Zhang Yu.

The results are also varied. Success or failure all depends on the state of edamame that day.Some netizens made a summary of the material self-recorded by the audience, added the footage of Mao Dou killing pigs in the sitcom, cut it into a ghostly animal video and uploaded it to the P station, which unexpectedly made Mao Dou a hit.

In addition, the sitcom he starred in sold an extra round of network rights.

Naturally, Zhang Yi's dialect jokes can't be escaped. Finding fault with the dialect of the "1951" actors has also spawned a number of homemade videos, some of which are corrections, some dubbing, and some spoofs.

The only thing that makes Zhang Yi dumbfounded is that he is the one without a name among the leading actors. Netizens and audiences call him "Company Zhang".

No way, Maodou still has a classic role that is popular with the audience. Before this, Zhang Yi mainly focused on dramas. The film and television dramas he starred in were all supporting roles and supporting roles, and he really didn't have a good resume.

Another person who is inexplicably popular is Duan Liu CP.

Facts have proved that Mitu's group of friends have a keen sense of smell, and they can see the emotional tension between Duan and Liu at a glance (dense fog).

During the road show, it was useless no matter how much they emphasized the close relationship between master and apprentice. Not only was it useless, it actually further stimulated the creative inspiration of the wives. The bond between master and apprentice would be more exciting, wouldn't it?

In 2010, Danmei culture was only slightly budding, and it was far from being a prominent figure in the drama industry. Originally limited to a small circle, second-generation creations took advantage of the popularity of movies to spread, and their voices more than doubled than before. Naturally, mainstream netizens condemnation and ridicule.

The fighting power of wives was very obvious in the two-two-six-plus-one incident in the previous life. How could the loosely organized ordinary netizens survive?

Therefore, Danmei culture directly broke through this wave of controversy. Regardless of whether the public was confused, disgusted, or disapproving, the word was familiar to everyone anyway.

Even Chen Yiming, a time traveler, couldn't understand how a war movie like "1951" could be related to Danmei.

Then I thought, I would not have given birth to the golden age of fresh traffic in advance. That would be a serious sin.

Chen Yiming was so busy that his sensitivity to public opinion from all sides dropped severely. His only feeling was that "1951" was indeed a hit.

One is that as the road show progresses, it becomes more and more difficult for people to enter and leave the theater, and COS links such as salespersons, ticket sellers, and researchers have to be suspended, because on-site crowds are no longer allowed to have "celebrities face to face", which will endanger public safety.

The second is that at every road show, the age range of the audience is becoming more and more diverse. Middle-aged and elderly audiences, who were rarely seen in the early stage, and group audiences with their families, are increasingly appearing at road shows.

The road show of Three is the Imperial City was unexpectedly successful.

According to the itinerary, Imperial Capital was originally placed in the final stage, but before the end of August, the theater managers there changed their minds and strongly requested to go to Imperial Capital in advance.

The schedule was tightly arranged and there was really nothing to do. Lao Tang found Chen Yiming in desperation. The latter then asked Hou Yong and Li Jian to let the two brothers take Li Mingliang and a few other students to temporarily take the lead.

Unexpectedly, after they went around the major theaters in the Imperial Capital, the effect was quite good, and the enthusiasm of the media was also very high, so the northern team's itinerary was further expanded and began to touch the surrounding areas of the Imperial Capital.

《1951》8月13日启动试映，8月21日正式公映，截至首周末票房合计1.55亿。

In the penultimate week of August, "8" began to hit the fast track at the box office.

On the working day of Monday, August 8, the actual box office receipts were 23 million, breaking the working day box office record in Chinese film history.More importantly, compared with last Sunday's drop of less than 4700%, it was so outrageous that industry insiders were shocked.

On the half-price day on Tuesday, August 8, the actual box office receipts were 24 million, which is another shocking figure when you think about it.

Because the number of moviegoers on the half-price day is doubled, this means that there were more viewers of "1951" on that day than last weekend.

On Wednesday, August 8, "25" continued its crazy momentum, with 1951 million.

On Thursday, August 8, the three-day "Beggars' Version of the Movie" that was launched on Weibo came to an end. Movie-goers with their families began to arrive one after another, and the box office bucked the decline and closed at 26 million.

On Friday, August 8, 27 million, theater managers and theater managers all over China are numb, because the film schedule of "7300" has reached nearly 1951%, and other movies in the same period only have a guaranteed one-time performance per day, which is cut. Nothing left to cut.

On Saturday, August 8, 28 million. This is thanks to the rescheduling of the movies released in the same period, which released a small number of scheduled films. However, everyone knows that the box office capacity has reached its peak, because at this stage, China’s cinemas It can only accommodate so many people.

Chen Yiming unintentionally helped the film bureau and real estate bosses find out.

Sunday, August 8, 29 million, the end of the second week.

"1951" ran an astonishing box office curve, with a weekly box office of 3.99 million. During the same period, the North American box office was 1.05 million Nutcoins. When the number of theaters was less than half of its counterpart, the box office accounted for more than half.

This is something that is unimaginable for the entire country of China. The 7 o'clock news in the evening specially spared one minute to report on this "feat".

On August 8, the Special Administrative Office released the official box office data for last week. The cumulative box office of "31" exceeded 1951 million. "Shipwreck", which had "dominated" China's box office record for 5.5 years, was crushed in an understatement. past.
