China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 185 Premiere

Wang Shu and Sun Li accepted an exclusive interview with Sina Entertainment, and then Liu Yan continued to participate in interviews on some TV programs.

Whether it is the former or the latter, they all revolve around the film "Time Traveler".

There is still more than half a month until the release date of "Love Traveler". Increasing publicity efforts before the release will have the best effect of "fooling" the audience into buying tickets.

The total investment in "Space Traveler" is 2000 million, of which 1100 million is production cost and 900W is publicity cost.

If the 900 million publicity and distribution funds are not enough, China Film Distribution will advance the funds to continue publicity and distribution, and then deduct the corresponding amount from the box office when the box office accounts are divided after the movie is released.

As the distributor, China Film Distribution will first receive the distributor's share from the total box office, and then get back the corresponding promotion advance from the remaining box office.

Taxes and fees will be paid first based on the total box office received by the movie when it enters theaters.

The box office after deducting taxes and fees is divided among the three parties: the distributor, theaters, and producers.

If the issuer advances funds to promote distribution, the issuer and the theater chain will first share the total box office after deducting taxes and fees. After this part is distributed, the issuer will deduct the distribution from the remaining box office. Advance payment.

Until all of that is done, what’s left is the investor’s share.

If there are several investors, then these investors will divide their shares from the final remaining part.

9 month 14 day.

"The Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang is officially released.

However, Feng Xiaogang and the crew were not in the capital that day, but went to Taipei to participate in the premiere in Taipei.

In recent days, Feng Xiaogang has been taking Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Zhou Xun and others to premieres in Shanghai, Chengdu, Beijing and other major cities, working hard to promote the film.

In a blink of an eye, it’s September 9th.

The box office of "The Night Banquet" was released on the first day, exceeding 1200 million.

This figure not only broke the record for the highest first-day box office of Feng Xiaogang's film in history (the first-day box office of "A World Without Thieves" was 800 million yuan), but also broke the convention that the first-day box office of domestic films this year was lower than that of imported films, becoming The highest-grossing film on its first day this year.

That afternoon, Wang Shu received a call from Han Sanping.

"The box office of "The Night Banquet" exceeded 1200 million on the first day, you know, right?" Han Sanping said solemnly.

"I just found out." Wang Shu responded in a pretentious manner.

He already knew that "The Banquet" had a good box office on its first day before the movie was released.

"I went to the cinema to see "The Night Banquet"," Han Sanping continued. "It's a decent movie, and the reviews from the audience were just passable."

"Not many people praise it."

"Although the cast of your "Time Traveler" is not as good as "The Night Banquet", it is much better than "The Night Banquet" in terms of subject matter, setting, and the core of the movie."

"There is no such film like yours in China yet. It is relatively new."

“So, I want to increase my promotional efforts.”

"Strive to break the first-day record of 1200W."

"What do you think?"

Han Sanping had already seen the finished film "Space Traveler" and he knew exactly what kind of film it was.

It is also clear that films of this type like "Space Traveler" are currently unavailable in China.

In addition, after watching it, he also knew that the quality of the film was online and he had confidence in the film.

After seeing "The Night Banquet" breaking the record with a box office of 1200 million on the first day, I couldn't sit still.

"Okay." Wang Shu refused unreasonably. After he agreed, he continued, "The distribution side will advance the publicity fee first, and then deduct it from the box office."

"No problem, it's settled." Han Sanping agreed directly.

Although there are people in power at China Film Distribution, Han Sanping can coordinate with them at this time.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly reminded: "Didn't your company release news about auditions for idol dramas two days ago?"

"We can stop this for now and wait until we finish the movie."

Wang Shu smiled and said, "The audition is handled by the company and does not conflict with the film's affairs."

Han Sanping understood what Wang Shu meant and said, "That's okay, as long as it doesn't delay things here."

The two then chatted for a while about increasing publicity, decided on some matters, and then hung up the phone.

The next day.

Wang Shu got up early in the morning, washed up and went out, and went to Shanghai with Sun Li, Liu Yan and others to record a promotional program for "Space Traveler".

Wei Zongwan was originally invited, but Wei Zongwan was busy and could not go.

After the three people finished recording the show, they accepted interviews with the media non-stop.

At the end of the day, everyone was exhausted.

On September 9, the premiere of "Space Traveler" was held at the Beijing Auditorium.

This is the second time Wang Shu has held a premiere in the auditorium. Compared with the first time, he was less excited and more calm and calm.

The scene was starry, and many artists and people in the entertainment industry came to the scene for Han Sanping's sake.

In order to build publicity for "Space Traveler" this time, he did a lot of selling out.

However, he has confidence in "Space Traveler" and is happy to sell it.

Because China Film is also the largest investor and distributor of "Space Traveler", the higher the box office, the more China Film will make, and the better its performance will be.

As time went by, more and more people came to the red carpet of the premiere. Wang Shu clearly felt that the number of people this time had more than doubled compared to the premiere of "The Tuner".

As a director, starring actor and investor, he has always been polite to greet people.

Regardless of whether it was the first time we met, everyone greeted us with a smile.

Jiang Wenli, Zhou Xun, Mei Ting, Ning Jing, Qin Hailu, Chen Hao, Fan Binbin, Yang Jie, Zhang Hanyu, Chen Daoming and other people who were familiar with Wang Shu, no matter whether they were busy or not, they all took time to come to support him.

Compared with the premiere of "The Tuner", the actors who had been in contact with him obviously gave him more face at the premiere of "Space Traveler".

It’s different in the past.

At the premiere of "The Tuner", Wang Shu's only shot was "Buried Alive", a film that had won the consolation prize in Berlin.

Although the potential is great, it is only potential after all.

There won't be too many people who are particularly interested.

It is different now.

After "The Tuner" was released, it not only earned 1.6 million in box office, but also won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes and named a Cannes Best Actress.

Wang Shu's reputation as a director has skyrocketed.

Nowadays, the premiere of "Space Traveler" is held, and not only are there many more people than at the premiere of "The Tuner".

Some people even found ways to get the opportunity to come to the scene through their connections before this. “Thank you for coming.”

Wang Shu saw Jiang Wenli, Zhou Xun, Mei Ting, Ning Jing, Fan Binbin and others who were all dressed up and shook hands with them one by one to express his gratitude.

Zhou Xun walked the red carpet before Fan Binbin. There were many people between them and they did not meet on the red carpet.

Wang Shu had already arranged this in advance, so it was impossible for the two of them to meet.

"I heard that your movie was very good. I want to watch it carefully today." Jiang Wenli stood next to Wang Shu and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Shu knew that Jiang Wenli had learned some information about "Space Traveler" in advance through someone he knew, and then he joked with a smile: "You don't need to hear that this movie is really good, and it won't make people laugh. You are disappointed."

Jiang Wenli was amused and joked: "So confident?"

Wang Shu smiled and answered: "You have heard that the shooting is very good, how can I not be confident?"

"Haha." Jiang Wenli couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

She also knew that Wang Shu was busy now, so she didn't talk any more and left with a smile.

Many people around heard the conversation between the two, and they were all shocked.

Based on Jiang Wenli's words, we can already preliminarily judge that the movie "Space Traveler" is not bad.

At least in the eyes of some people who have seen the film, this film is not bad.

Some reporters have recorded the conversation between the two.

These contents will be interesting news in the entertainment section.

At this moment, Wang Shu couldn't figure out whether Jiang Wenli deliberately said this to help him promote the movie, or whether it was an unintentional move.
  But no matter what, the result was good for him.

Because if the media reports these contents, it will also have the effect of promoting "Time Traveler".

Zhou Xun wore black and white today, which was obviously much more conservative than what she wore at the premiere of "The Banquet".

This is because she knew that coming to the red carpet of "Space Traveler" this time was just to support her, which was different from attending the red carpet of the premiere of "The Banquet" as the starring role.

When attending the red carpet for the premiere of "The Night Banquet", as the starring role, she needed to be conspicuous.

When coming to the red carpet of "Love Travelers", you need to avoid being too pretentious.

"Thank you for coming." Wang Shu shook Zhou Xun's hand and said politely.

Zhou Xun's coming this time was somewhat beyond Wang Shu's expectation.

Because "The Banquet" is now being released, she is still cooperating with the film's promotion.

I'm really grateful that I can take the time to come and support.

Zhou Xun smiled back at Wang Shu and said softly, "I happen to be in Beijing today."

Wang Shu smiled and did not delve into this sentence.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Danchen, Dong Xuan, Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Jiang Xin and others all arrived.

Wang Shu was polite again and said a few words to them one after another.

For newcomers such as Yang Mi and Jiang Xin, the premiere of "Space Traveler" is also an opportunity to expand their network.

And this is one of the reasons why there were not many people at the premiere of "The Tuner" and there were many people at the premiere of "Space Traveler" this time.

Many people in the industry know that as Wang Shu proves himself again in Cannes, many people will definitely come to the premiere of "Space Traveler".

There are many people in the circle, which represents opportunities, and more people will rush to come.

After the red carpet, it was the press conference.

Jing Wei from Yangshi 6 set walked onto the stage, holding a microphone and said loudly: "Dear guests and media friends, good afternoon everyone, welcome to the release site of the world premiere of "Space Traveler", I am Jing Wei, the host of Yangshi-6 Movie Channel."

"As we all know, Director Wang spent 2000 million W and gathered our excellent production team to bring you this novel film that travels through time and space and changes the trajectory of destiny."

"What kind of visual feast will "Space Traveler" bring us? Let's wait and see!"

"Before I raise the curtain, I will introduce today's guests to you."

"The film's investors, Mr. Han Sanping, Vice President of China Film, and China Film Distribution's Weng Li."

“They are all very important guests!”

As these words fell, the audience burst into warm applause.

Yangshi host Jing Wei then said: "Next is the cast team of our film, Miss Sun Li, Mr. Wei Zongwan, Miss Liu Yan, and the director and actor of this film, Mr. Wang Shu."

The audience burst into warm applause again.

Jing Wei followed the process and continued: "After introducing all the guests and the creative team, we want to enjoy the clips from the filming of "Space Traveler" and relive the memories during the filming. Please watch the big screen."

As he finished speaking, a clip from the film "Time Traveler" appeared on the big screen.

The film is not long, just over five minutes in total.

Although it only lasts for more than five minutes, it has already aroused many people's interest in the movie.

In this five-minute clip, there are clips of Wang Shu discovering that the wardrobe in his home can help him travel through time and space, and Wei Zongwan, who plays the actor's father, describing the wardrobe's ability.

In addition, there is also a funny clip in which Wang Shu traveled through time and space through the wardrobe to confess to his "first love girlfriend" Liu Yan and was repeatedly rejected.

This clip made everyone present laugh.

When he confessed his love for the first time, everyone thought that the protagonist would be able to succeed by traveling back in time and space and confessing his love in a different way.

Unexpectedly, he declined again.

This cool move immediately flashed the backs of many people.

After watching the trailer, many people at the scene had an in-depth understanding of the movie "Space Traveler".

Although the trailer has been released before.

However, many people at the scene had not seen the trailer before coming.

Moreover, this time the film lasted for more than five minutes, which was not only twice as long as the trailer, but also revealed more content and details.

After the trailer was shown, although many people in the audience were still not satisfied, according to the procedure, the host Jing Wei still came to the stage and hosted: "Yes, the shooting has passed, but these frozen scenes suddenly brought us back to the big scene. I think especially the creative team sitting in the audience will recall the filming scenes at that time. I think there are hardships and joys."

"Now we invite them to share with us their feelings about filming "Time Traveler". We have invited Sun Li, Wei Zongwan, Liu Yan and Wang Shu to share the stage. Everyone."

Applause rang out from the audience

Wang Shu, Sun Li and other creative staff walked onto the stage and began to interact with the host.

Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Jiang Xin, Yang Yue and others looked at Liu Yan, the second female lead, on the stage. After looking at her for a few times, they turned their attention to Wang Shu.

They really couldn't understand why Wang Shu didn't ask them to play the second female lead, but asked Liu Yan.
