During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 328 The biggest winner changes the rules and schedule selection
Time has entered mid-July, and in the movie market, the box office of "The Raid" is booming, with the single-day box office firmly stable at more than 7 million.

So far, "The Raid" has been in theaters for 11 days, and the box office has reached 2.38 million, and it is just around the corner to break million.

On the other hand, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" has experienced extremely slow growth during this period. In one week, the box office only increased by less than 25 million. After 3.6 days of release, the box office revenue was million.

As for "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan", which has been highly hyped before, it has just completed its half-month release period, and theaters can't wait to release it. The box office is less than 5000 million.

Huang Bai and Jiang Yiyan's "Pretend to Be a Couple" struggled to survive in the cracks of commercial films. Less than two weeks after its release, the box office barely exceeded 20 million, but the single-day box office had dropped below 100,000. The producers directly Selected for screening.

The situation of "God of Wealth Inn" is similar. It barely passed the 50 million mark, but its single-day box office fell below one million, and it is struggling.

The turnaround film "Martial Arts", which Zhen Zhuan had high hopes for, has fallen into a state of limbo. The single-day box office can barely maintain around 8600 million. In one week of release, the box office was million.

The industry has unanimously judged that it is no problem for this movie to have a box office of over 100 million, but 200 million is absolutely impossible. The final box office hit is probably equivalent to the production cost.

Although the summer season has just begun, the industry has already made a unanimous judgment. Among all domestic films, "The Raid" will undoubtedly be the biggest winner.

On the set of "Twenty Again".

After a scene ended, Wei Jin invited the actors to come and watch the playback on the monitor.

"Okay, that's it. Let's get ready for the next shot."
-
After finishing the day's shooting, Wei Jin returned to his room and started browsing industry news.

"Yifei, you are thinking too much. If those old guys cared about the opinions of directors in the industry, would Golden Rooster be like this? They are probably hoping that well-known directors will not participate. It is not good for them to just win the honor. ?"

Although he has the lens in mind, as his level has improved over the years, Wei Jin is also looking for ways to improve the quality of the film and strive to break through the constraints of the original film.

After seeing the first news, Wei Jin shook his head. Nortel's performance department was getting worse and worse.

After watching the replay, Wei Jin asked Wang Zhiwen for advice with a smile, showing great respect in his words.

As Wang Zhiwen spoke, he gave a thumbs up. The smile on his face showed that he was very happy. This was the joy from the heart after being respected by a top director.

"Thank you, Teacher Wang, for teaching me well."

"Xiao Bai, lines are your weakness. In the future, you should learn more from Teacher Wang. He is an expert in this field."

"Hey, the highlight of this regulation is that they have the final say on the cost. Think about it, how operable is it?"

Public opinion on the Internet was raging, but the performance department didn't care at all. It said that this was just a normal adjustment of the admission score.

Just as he was looking down, Wei Jin heard the sound of the door opening. He turned around and saw Liu Yifei, wearing cartoon pajamas, closing the door quickly and softly like a thief.

"There are so many people on the crew, I'm embarrassed."

"Okay, Yifei, don't worry about the old guys. A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Come and play music for me."

"Here, a bunch of old men started to operate blindly again."

Faced with the praise from the powerful seniors, Liu Yifei was also very happy, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Hey, this is over, the crew will take a ten-minute break."

Having said this, Wei Jin shook his head. The Golden Rooster will follow in the footsteps of the Academy Awards and become a self-proclaimed Pheasant Award.

"Ah? How to determine whether the movie cost has reached 800 million? How to invoice?"

While speaking, Wei Jin put his hands on Liu Yifei's shoulders. With a slight exertion, a blush appeared on the girl's face and she slowly squatted down.

Shaking his head, Wei Jin could only lament in his heart that this circle was becoming more and more closed. Everything was decided in advance and the rules were even modified. It was becoming more and more difficult for ordinary people to get ahead.

After getting up and walking away from the monitor, Wei Jin went straight to Wang Zhiwen.

This means that low-budget films cannot compete for any individual awards such as best picture, best director, starring, supporting actor, screenwriter, etc.

"Teacher Wang, do you feel there is anything inappropriate in this scene?"

So during the filming process, it is a good way to discuss performance methods with experienced actors.

"Director Wei, you're welcome. This scene was very good. Yifei acted very well. She has made great progress in the past few days."

This year's registration standards have added a new rule: films with an investment of less than 8 million are not eligible to compete for individual awards.

Seeing the confusion on the girl's face, Wei Jin reached into his pajamas and held her conscience.

"Yeah~~ But, brother, they have gone too far. After all, it is one of the three gold medals. This has made people angry. What should I do if no one participates?"

"Don't worry, Director Wei, I will study hard."

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Coincidentally, the old guys from Golden Rooster also started to change the rules.

"Teacher Wang, you did a great job in this part. Bai Yu's role will be in the afternoon, so I have to trouble you."

"Well, Yifei is great."
-
On the set of "Twenty Again".

Facing the man's hands, the little girl forced herself to ask the doubts in her heart.

Wei Jin stood up and took the girl into his arms, buried his head in her still moist hair, and breathed greedily.

After saying that, Wei Jin looked at Bai Yu who was standing aside.

Looking at the picture on the monitor, Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction.

Wei Jin pointed at the computer page and pursed his lips. Looking at the world's major film festivals, there has never been a restriction on films competing for the main unit due to production costs. This can be regarded as a historical precedent for Golden Rooster.

Liu Yifei lay on Wei Jin's chest and rubbed her head, then raised her head and asked curiously.

The admission score has been rising for several consecutive years, but this year it was suddenly lowered without warning. Why should the score be lowered when there are so few admitted students?
Obviously, this is a convenient door opened for the few art candidates who "stepped over the line" to pass the exam at the beginning of the year.

"You said, why are you doing so much trouble every day?"

Bai Yu nodded hurriedly, looking like a good baby.

"Director Wei is overrated, but being a teacher is my old profession. Xiaobai, take advantage of the time you have now, take the script and follow me over there to practice."

Wang Zhiwen smiled and turned around to leave. This crew experience really made him feel happy.

Wang Zixuan, Liu Yifei, Shu Chang and others on the side also followed to listen to the class.

After getting along with each other these days, everyone knows that Wang Zhiwen's line skills are quite good, and they are unwilling to give up this opportunity to improve themselves.

Of course, there may also be reasons to show attitude in front of Wei and Jin and earn a performance.

Seeing everyone's eagerness to learn, Wei Jin nodded with satisfaction. Having a good teacher on the crew will definitely make the overall performance of the cast better and improve the quality of the film.

And Wang Zhiwen's ability is indeed beyond words and deserves his respect.

Taking advantage of the break, Wei Jin browsed online news for a while.

After two and a half months of filming, "The Legend of Hongmen Banquet" has been completed, and the Internet is full of related news. "The historical blockbuster "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" with an investment of 2 million, held a final press conference in Beijing today, and all the main creators made a collective appearance."

"The legendary "Hongmen Banquet" is scheduled to be released on November 11, the first shot of the Lunar New Year period."

"Yang Mi, the fourth young actress, plays Yu Ji and is the only heroine in the film."

"Director Li Rengang expressed his hope that the domestic box office will achieve a return on investment, with a target of 6 million!"

Many photos from the press conference were also posted. Yang Mi was seen standing in the C position, with a smile on her face and a slim white dress that showed off her good figure.

Only then did Wei Jin remember that he had not invested in this woman for several months, and he still missed her talent a little. The last time he went with Bingmi made him think about it for a long time.

The time for a cigarette is over, the crew has prepared the next shot, and the actors who have roles have returned to their positions.

Wei Jin stood up and came to the monitor, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

"action."
-
The shooting time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half of July had passed.

News came from Hunter that "Twilight 4 (Part )" was released.

Because of "Transformers 3", the North American box office revenue was 3.3 million, but there was almost no box office revenue in the last ten days.

Fortunately, the overseas market is quite strong. The global box office has grossed a total of 8.4 million US dollars, setting a record for the series and giving this series a perfect ending.

In addition, there is news from Warner that the special effects shots for "Pacific Rim" that they are responsible for will be completely completed this month.

As Wei Jin expected, Han Sanping received the news and called in a hurry:

"When will the mountains and rivers ink painting part be completed?"

"It's probably just for the next few days."

Wei Jin answered truthfully. Before the movie started shooting, he went to Shanhe Ink to check the progress. The answer given by the person in charge at that time was ten days to half a month. Calculating the time, it should be almost done by now.

"So fast? Is this more efficient than Warner?"

Han Sanping on the other end of the phone sounded very surprised. He didn't expect that Shanhe Ink could keep up with the pace of major Hollywood studios.

"It's different, Director Han. The complexity and number of lenses cannot be generalized."

Wei Jin knew in his heart that the reason why he was faster than Warner was because Shanhe Ink was responsible for much less, probably only 40%, and the complexity was slightly less.

"Well, that's great. Among domestic special effects companies, only Shanhe Ink can do this."

After sighing, Han Sanping changed the topic.

"What do you think about the schedule?"

"There's no rush. I'll be back in a few days. Let's have an interview then."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jin lamented Han Sanping's resolute and resolute character. Before the film was released, he began to think about the schedule.
-
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Han Sanping waved to his secretary.

"Let the news get out."

"Okay, Director Han."

In the afternoon, China Film Group announced the news.

"With an investment of US$1.5 million, the Sino-US co-production of the science fiction blockbuster "Pacific Rim" will be completed this month!"

After four or five months, the film reappeared in the industry's sights, and all production companies began to pay attention to the film's schedule.

You know, hard-core co-production science fiction films like "Pacific Rim" with huge investment scale will definitely enter the domestic market.

Now it depends on which schedule the major producers choose, but no matter what schedule they choose, as long as this high-investment monster enters the market, a large number of domestic films will surely suffer.

Looking at the news on the Internet, Fan Bingbing was a little excited. Although this is a movie about mechas fighting monsters, she has a lot of roles. There is no doubt that she is the heroine, the heroine of a large-scale production of 1.5 million US dollars. This time she also Don't keep those big flowers under you to see how proud they are.

"Xiao Yang, I have been publishing a lot of press releases recently."

"Don't worry, Sister Bingbing, the arrangements have been made."

The fat Yang Siwei immediately replied, but could not hide the joy on her face. She would not be worthy of her reputation as a marketing genius if she did not hype up such a great opportunity.

On the other side, the crew of "The Art of Mind" in the magical city.

"Zhang Yi, congratulations. When the movie comes out, you will be an international superstar. Don't forget me then, haha."

Zhang Songwen, wearing a white coat, smiled and said to Zhang Yi that although they had not been together for a long time, they were similar in age and had the same last name. Within a few days, the two of them had become very familiar with each other.

"Brother Songwen, you are so humble. Who doesn't know that Mr. Wei appointed you to play the male lead in this drama? From now on, I'm afraid you will have to help me support my younger brother, haha."

Zhang Yi quickly stopped, but the joy on his face could not be concealed at all. Not everyone has the opportunity to participate in big Hollywood productions.

"Hey, I'm just lucky. I haven't even met Mr. Wei a few times."

The two started to compliment each other in business. You praise me for being diligent and enterprising? Then I will praise you for your superb acting skills. After a while, Zhang Yi suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Brother Songwen, "The Tuner" will be released soon, right? Why didn't you ask the director to adjust your role?"

"Ours is a low-budget film, relying on themes and scripts to win. The company wants us to just do interviews and variety shows. It won't delay much. It won't start until the beginning of next month."

Zhang Songwen expressed his understanding of the company's arrangement. After all, the cast is not strong, and publicity and roadshows will not be very effective.

"Okay, when it is released, our crew will definitely support it."

"That's a good feeling, haha"

Unlike Zhang Yi and Fan Bingbing who were smiling happily, Yang Mi, who was promoting "Swordsman in the Snow", felt very sad.

Zeng Jia on the side looked at Yang Mi in a daze with his mobile phone, and knew what the latter was thinking, and quickly expressed relief.

"Mimi, don't think about the things you missed anymore, let's seize the moment."

After hearing this, Yang Mi cheered up and forced a smile on her face.

"Sister Jia, I know, just thinking about it makes me feel at a loss."

"Cheer up and secure your position. With Mr. Wei's energy, you will have a chance sooner or later."

When Yang Mi heard this, thinking of that man, she felt somewhat confident in her heart.

"Well, Sister Jia, I understand."
