During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 296 Poor Poet Chen "Let the Bullets Fly"

According to the outside world, after a week of release, "Now You See Me 2" has grossed 1.88 million at the box office.

In movie information, "The Devil 2" steadily outperforms other films of the same period and firmly occupies the first echelon position.

Many production companies are privately cursing the mountain eagle. They are entering the prelude to the Lunar New Year holiday, showing a Hollywood blockbuster and not letting people live.

A number of Lunar New Year films have also started to build crazy momentum. Perhaps because of the recent surge in stocks and the doubling of his net worth, Feng Dapao was so excited that he actually shouted that "If You Are the One 2" would surpass "Passengers" and take back the box office record.

Jiang Wen made a saucy move by highlighting the origin of the movie's title - the inspiration given by Wei Jin in the promotion of "Let the Bullets Fly".

Not to mention Poet Chen, as the film is about to be released, drafts of "The Orphan of Zhao" are flying all over the place, and it is known as a "masterpiece of ingenuity." Even on the crew of "Pacific Rim", Fan Bingbing helped promote it on Weibo every day.

However, in the battlefield of many great directors, a newcomer's new film, Northeastern Lao Zhao's "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes", seems very inconsistent.

Facing reporters at the premiere, Zhao was also very low-key:

"Ours is a funny martial arts film. If the box office can reach 1.5 million, everyone in the Zhao family will be very satisfied."

The Lunar New Year holiday is in full swing, Zhang Weiping thinks what can he do without Lao Mouzi? The main creative lineup of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was announced in a high-profile manner.

The new generation of "mourner girls" that the industry is most concerned about is newly released, Ni Ni from China Media Nanguang College.

Looking at the released photos of the final makeup, a large number of people in the industry lamented that Lao Mouzi's vision for casting was really tricky.

This is not the end yet. Zhang Weiping continued to release satellites and directly announced the production cost and producer of "Thirteen Hairpins".

The industry is buzzing now. The production cost is 6 million, and Xinhuamian is exclusively produced.

Wei Jin was stunned when he saw the news on the set. 6 million, Zhang Weiping probably doesn't have that much money for selling his butt, right? Could it be that he was inflating his costs and taking the opportunity to launder money?
At this cost, it is impossible to make back the money by just relying on the box office. The only option is to sell the copyright. But the story told in "Thirteen Hairpins" may not be able to be sold at a high price. What on earth was he thinking?
"I don't understand what kind of airplane this guy is planning to do."

On the set of "Love Is Not Blind", Yang Mi and Zeng Jia took advantage of the break to chat about the new girl Mou.

"Mimi, you didn't lose unfairly."

Before, Zeng Jia thought that Lao Mouzi was too troubled, but now when she saw the girl in the photo, she had to admit that she really met the requirements of being pure, lustful, and admiring Yanxing.

"Yeah, she's really lucky."

Yang Mi was a little envious. As a non-professional actor, Ni Ni's first film was the heroine of Lao Mouzi. It was a large-scale production with a cost of 6 million. It was considered a ceiling start in the entertainment industry.

"Forget it, don't think too much, just make this movie with a female protagonist well. I have a hunch that the box office will not be low."

Zeng Jia has read the original work and all the adapted scripts. The role of Yang Mi is very down-to-earth and brilliant, and should resonate with many people.

"Yes, I understand, Sister Jia."

The filming scene of "Breaking Drummer".

"Click."

As the director behind the monitor gave instructions, Bai Yu and Wang Jinsong, who had just been wrestling with each other, instantly stopped what they were doing.

This scene was filmed when Bai Yu had a car accident on the day of the competition. He was covered in blood and scars and insisted on performing on the stage. However, the injury was too severe and he could not hold the drumsticks firmly and was unable to perform at all.

But even so, he still had to be ridiculed and even insulted by the devil coach. The long-term suppression made Bai Yu explode, and the two had a fierce physical conflict.

But looking at the picture on the monitor, Wei Jin was a little dissatisfied.

"Teacher Wang, Xiaobai, come and take a look."

After hearing this, the two knew that they would definitely not be able to pass this one, but they also wanted to know what the problem was, so they couldn't help but walk towards the monitor.

"Xiao Bai, your problem is that you don't have enough emotional outbursts. Now you have the intention of dying with him. You have to show that desperate feeling."

"Teacher Wang, your situation is that your eyes are not cold enough. The role of coach is a bit neurotic. You should not speculate on his actions with ordinary people's thinking."

"I understand, director, please give me another one."

Wang Jinsong and Bai Yu looked at each other and said in unison.

"Okay, all units are ready, the scenes are rearranged, and the actors are applying makeup."

About ten minutes later, Wei Jin looked at the restored scene and sat behind the monitor again.

"The Orphan of Zhao" was released, and although Poet Chen had already made several big mistakes, the audience still chose to believe in him.

The movie took in 2800 million at the box office on its first day of release, which is a pretty good start.

However, compared with the 2400 million first-day box office of "Laughing in the River", which was released a day earlier, even though Poet Chen won, it can explain some problems.

But the entertainment industry is a very real place. As a director of the Palme d'Or, Poet Chen has a complicated network of connections in the industry. There are not many people who praise his bad feet. Many celebrities and artists began to praise him on Weibo.

"As expected of Director Chen, his moves are extraordinary. As long as this data is stable, 340 million can easily be achieved, and 500 million is also very promising."

However, the audience did not buy it and ridiculed it directly in the comments.

Disappeared 37: "I think "The Great Laughter" is much better than "The Orphan of Zhao", at least it's worth the price of admission."

As if the spring breeze was blowing: "Poet Chen is indeed in trouble. He drove high and low again. What kind of gouba stuff was taken in the back?"

Diving is watching: "The debut is the peak. When can Poet Chen return to the level of "Farewell My Concubine"?"

Yansuiii: "After watching the movie, to sum up, Poet Chen once again worked hard, worked hard, and even took part in the whole family to make a big bad movie!"

The collapse of word-of-mouth was directly reflected in the box office. The box office of "The Orphan of Zhao" plummeted by 500 million on the second day, and barely exceeded 5000 million in two days of release.

Even so, Poet Chen remained true to himself when being interviewed by reporters and firmly believed that he was right.

"I have made a subversive adaptation of the original work, which is full of loyalty, humanity, and virtue. The audience needs to read it several times to appreciate its profound meaning."

It's a pity that Poet Chen's harsh words can't save anything. The box office trend of "The Orphan of Zhao" was even worse than the original "The Promise".

Less than a week after its release, the single-day box office has already dropped below 10 million.

According to this downward trend, the box office would be far away from 200 million, let alone 300 million. Poet Chen and his family began to promote it like crazy.

I don’t know who was responsible for the scandalous operation. It was revealed that “The Orphan of Zhao” stole the box office, and the videos secretly shot in the theater were exposed online.

The audience spent money on "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", but what they got in their hands were tickets for "The Orphan of Zhao".

The theater staff even directly claimed: It’s the same and it won’t affect your viewing of the movie.

This scandal directly thrust "The Orphan of Zhao" into the center of public opinion, and Poet Chen was once again attacked by the entire Internet.

Poor Poet Chen, his painstaking work not only failed at the box office, but the reputation and honor he cared about most also fell to the bottom once again.

"Let the Bullets Fly", which Jiang Wen regarded as a turnaround, held a grand premiere several days in advance.

Jiang Wen personally made the invitation call, but Wei Jin couldn't refuse. Fortunately, the time was set in the evening, so it didn't delay his shooting plan.

Zeng Li was not interested in this kind of situation. In Sister Li's words, she might as well spend more time with Dudu if she had such free time.

Gao Yuanyuan has been extremely busy since "Passengers". She was either recording interviews or running announcements, and she had no time at all.

As for Liu Yifei, after this little girl finished filming, she plunged into the recording studio to practice in seclusion. She would not come out of seclusion until she recorded the English song well.

Jing Tian, ​​who has an inexplicable obsession with the red carpet, accompanied Wei Jin to this event.

"Wow, brother, Director Jiang has created such a grand event."

Jing Tian was a little surprised. Even though he hadn't entered the Olympic Sports Center venue yet, the formation outside was already huge. At a glance, the dozens of meters of red carpet with a huge red signature wall and dozens of etiquette ladies lined up were really spectacular.

"Jiang Wen did this in a very fancy way."

Wei Jin whispered something, took Jing Tian's hand, and walked onto the red carpet.
Jiang Wen can be regarded as an old man in the industry, both as an actor and as a director, and has a wide range of friends.

Many people came to support us today, including many celebrities.

As soon as Wei Jin and Jing Tian entered the venue, they saw Boss Yang and Han Sanping surrounded by Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Feng Dapao, Ge You and others.

There were also many actors and stars from the Mainland and Hong Kong, including Gu Changwei and his wife, Xia Yu and his wife, Carina Lau and others.

With the arrival of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the focus of the originally orderly venue suddenly shifted.

"Mr. Wei, you are here."

"Wei Jin, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Director Wei, you're a little late, haha."

Boss Yang, Han Sanping, Jiang Wen and others greeted Wei Jin one after another and came over. In an instant, Wei Jin became the new core of the audience.

Jing Tian's big eyes were full of smiles, his man was really great.

However, Wei Jin had a sense of proportion. The protagonist today was not him. After chatting with everyone, he took the initiative to integrate into Han Sanping's group.

After some small talk, Wei Jin saw that the inheritance in the circle was orderly. Cheng Long brought his son, Jiang Wenli brought Ma Sichun, and counting down, there were no less than ten second-generation stars in the room.

Wei Jin couldn't help but sigh, there would no longer be room for ordinary people in the circle.

"Mr. Wei."

Boss Yang was holding the wine glass, still looking elegant and easy-going, followed by the beautiful mature woman Huo Wenxi.

"Mr. Yang, I wish you a great box office success, haha"

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, have you considered the schedule of "Ip Man 3"?"

Boss Yang knew in his heart that the profitability of Jiang Wen's film was not yet known, but "Ip Man 3" was a proper cash cow, so he was naturally more concerned about it.

"Not yet. I'll wait until I finish what I'm doing and then go to China Film and Television to find a suitable schedule."

The completed films of "Thieves" and "Ip Man 3" have been reviewed, but Wei Jin is still considering the schedule.

"Okay, but can Yinghuang participate in Mr. Wei's project next year?"

Wei Jin's new film hasn't been announced yet, but that doesn't stop Boss Yang from making plans in advance. The profitability of "Passengers" is really terrifying, and no one in the industry isn't jealous.

"Let's talk about it then"

Wei Jin smiled and stopped talking.

Looking at Wei Jin's appearance, Boss Yang knew that the probability of getting on the bus was low. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, stopped entangled, and turned to an unexpected topic.

"By the way, Mr. Wei, I have been asked to invest in a film. Can you provide me with advice?"

"Ok?"

Wei Jin was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked himself, what happened to Boss Yang?
"What movie?"

""King's Feast"."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Jin understood that Boss Yang was unsure of his attitude towards Lu Chuan and was afraid that he would be implicated in the future after investing.

"When it comes to investment decisions, it's better for Mr. Yang to make his own decisions. As long as it's not a crooked movie and Lu Chuan doesn't mess with me, I won't bother paying attention to that clown."

Since Boss Yang came to ask, it means that he is already inclined to invest. Wei Jin will not give opinions casually, so he just needs to express his attitude.

"Haha, it was Yang who was abrupt."

After receiving the reply, Boss Yang was relieved and thought that he could start the final evaluation of the project.

After some small talk, the premiere officially began, and the guests took their seats.

Wei Jin took Jing Tian to the first row and sat down, surrounded by industry leaders.

A group of main creators appeared on stage and were interviewed by reporters.

"I seem to have found my own direction with this movie. I felt very happy during the filming process. I believe everyone will also be very happy after watching it."

Jiang Wen was the last one to speak, and he seemed quite confident. He had high hopes for this film.

As the feature film began, Jiang Wen's words were confirmed. He had indeed found his own direction, and his transition from the field of literary and artistic films to commercial films was very successful.

This can be seen from the continuous laughter at the scene.

While watching the movie, Jing Tian had a smile on his face and held Wei Jin's big hand, interlocking their fingers.

She finally understood why Wei Jin didn't let her participate in Jiang Wen's movie. There were too many revealing scenes, but this also showed her status in the man's heart, didn't it?

Wei Jin had watched this film in his previous life, so he didn't pay too much attention to the plot. What he was more concerned about was how did so many vulgar, sex scenes, violence, and explicit scenes pass the review? It is said that it has not been cut with a knife. This is so fantasy. Ning Hao will probably get angry and sick when he sees it.

Then he threw the question to Han Sanping, who was expressionless and gave him a knowing look.

Wei Jin then remembered that Jiang Wen's background was not simple, and people were indeed different.

"What do you think of this film?"

Han Sanping also knew about the blind operation of the review group, so he changed the topic and chatted with Wei Jin. After all, China Film also invested this time, although the share was not large.

"With so many metaphors and so many restricted scenes, the audience should like it very much."

"Huh? This is the first time I've heard that you are so sure about other movies."

Han Sanping looked at Wei Jin in surprise, "What do you think the box office can be?"

"He said it himself, the minimum guarantee is 500 million."

Before Han Sanping could be surprised, the scene erupted into overwhelming applause.

In the subsequent interview session, Jiang Wen thanked boss Ying Huangyang emphatically, with sincere words and an impassioned tone.

This year's Lunar New Year festival is about three major directors competing, and the media will naturally not let such a good stunt go. When asked about the box office, Jiang Wen looked at Feng Dapao in the audience and stretched out a hand.

"I am confident that I will guarantee a minimum of 500 million and kill Director Feng by the way."

Many people at the scene laughed. They said the same thing at the premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao" a few days ago. It seems that both Jiang Wen and Poet Chen were very unhappy with Feng Dapao having to join the New Year program after finishing the summer program. Satisfied.

But now it seems that "The Orphan of Zhao" has little hope, but Jiang Wen's film does have a lot of hope.
