China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 383: The first battle of "Embroidered Spring Blade" was a victory, and the two of them were showing off

Wang Jing sincerely believes that Li Yu’s talent in marketing is no less than that of a director.

Anyway, even he, a veteran who has been making movies for decades, never thought that he could use the word "miserable" to market Lu Yang.

After Wang Jing praised Li Yu's excellent marketing, he looked at Lu Yang and said, "Director Lu, I wanted to mobilize my connections to help you promote "Blade of the Assassin".

Director Li has already taken action, so I feel there is no need for me to waste time.

I mobilized all my connections to support you, but the effect might not even be one-fifth of what Director Li achieved."

There was not a trace of flattery or exaggeration in Wang Jing's words.

The most he could give Lu Yang as compensation was for him to post a Weibo post to support "The Blade of the Assassin" and then ask people in his circle of friends to repost it to help promote it.

Li Yu's smooth combos made Lu Yang and "The Blade of the Assassin" extremely popular. Throwing his bundle of firewood in would not make the fire burn more vigorously, but would only make him owe a lot of favors.

Lu Yang accepted this reality.

Although he became famous for being the worst director of the year, you can tell whether he is the protagonist of the premiere?
That's all.

People only tease him and sympathize with him, but never laugh at him.

The attention this highly comedic title brought to him and the film was enormous.

"The Blade of the Assassin" is his first commercial film.

With these bonuses, "Embroidered Spring Blade" will be more stable.

However, he would not let go of Wang Jing's debt of favor. He smiled and said, "Director Wang, Director Li has already made a move this time. Can you help promote my next movie when it is released?"

"..."

When Wang Jing noticed the smirk on Lu Yang's face, he knew he had fallen into this bad boy's trap.

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have said those words just now.

Unfortunately, the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

He had no choice but to agree: "Okay, next time you need my help, I will definitely help you."

"Thank you in advance, Director Wang."

At this moment, Lu Yang felt that he had won.

It was true that he felt so wronged that he almost cried at the premiere during the day, but now he has received enough compensation from Li Yu and Wang Jing.

It goes without saying how much benefit Li Yu's compensation has brought to his film.

The favor he made Wang Jing owe him would be very important to his future.

Wang Jing has been working in Hong Kong Island for many years and has extensive connections in the island, including close relationships with superstars like Andy Lau and Chow Yun-fat.

If "The Blade of the Assassin" is a huge success, the investment in his next commercial film will only be bigger.

When he needs to use some veteran superstars from Hong Kong, he can ask Wang Jing to help him make the connections, and maybe even bargain for a lower price.

Having made a great profit, Lu Yang took the initiative to say, "How about you two come to my movie premiere next time and make a big deal?"

He didn't care at all that Li Yu and Wang Jing had stolen the limelight from him, and even wanted to persuade them to step up their efforts.

……

Three days later, "The Blade of the Assassin" was released.

Director Lu Yang bought a bunch of movie tickets on the first day of the release and gave them to Li Yu and his friends.

One is to announce to everyone that his first commercial film has been released.

Second, even though the movie has received a lot of attention, this is his first time directing a commercial film, and he is under considerable psychological pressure.

People are like this. Even if the probability of winning is high, they will still feel a little uneasy before the answer is revealed.

Lu Yang is like this, so he wants to contribute 1,800 yuan to the box office for his movie to feel at ease.

The next day, after getting the first day's box office data, Lu Yang was so excited that he wanted to dance.

Because the movie's first-day box office was just over 2000 million.

This was his first commercial film. The first draft of the script had been out for two years, but he couldn't find an investor. He never dreamed that his film would achieve such a high score on the first day of its release.

At this moment, Lu Yang felt that he had taken the first solid step on his path to becoming a commercial director.

He rushed to Hualiu Company excitedly, intending to share the good news with Li Yu.

Even though he knew that Li Yu was much more informed than him, Li Yu might have obtained the box office data earlier than him.

He just couldn't control his desire to share.

When people are excited about getting good news, they can't help but want to share it with others around the world.

He pushed open the door of a conference room at Hualiu Company and said excitedly, "Director Li and Director Wang, the first day box office of "Blade of the Assassin" is out, and it's a full 2000 million."

Before coming in, he didn't know that Li Yu, Wang Jing and Da Tiantian were discussing the script of a new movie.

His shout disrupted Wang Jing's thoughts.

Wang Jing couldn't help criticizing him and said, "Director Lu, you are still too young. You can't keep calm when you encounter happy events.

Look at me, the total box office of all my movies combined can rank in the top ten of the Chinese director list, am I excited?"

"That's right, if you are so impatient, how can you withstand a huge gap in the future?
Like me, this movie made 300 million at the box office, and that movie made 500 to 600 million. It is normal to have ups and downs in life.

You should listen to the advice of Director Wang, the senior, and learn to control your emotions."

Li Yu imitated Wang Jing's tone and spoke lightly.

"I suspect you two are just pretending."

Da Tiantian’s fist has become hard.

"Ms. Jing, I agree with you."

Lu Yang’s fist also hardened.

Those two were definitely showing off their historical achievements.

He was so envious, and he also wanted to pretend to be as fresh and unworldly as Li Yu and Wang Jing one day.

But he still has a long way to go.

"Okay, no more jokes. It's great to get 2000 million on the first day. If we work hard on the roadshow, maybe we can get over 5 million."

Li Yu returned to his normal state.

He was not surprised that "The Blade of the Assassin" won the first battle.

The highly publicized "Knife of the Assassin" should have achieved such results.

This version of "The Blade of the Assassin" is much better than the original version in the original time and space. The production cost has doubled, the exposure has been maximized, and even the two leading actors Zhang Zhen and Shi Shi have become much more popular.

With this kind of configuration, it would be a miracle if the box office doesn’t explode.

"5 million!!? Director Li, are you serious?"

Wang Jing, who was pretending to be cool just now, could no longer remain calm.

As of today, he has not produced a movie with a box office of over 5 million yuan. How can Lu Yang, a director who is trying a commercial film for the first time, squeeze into the 5 million box office club? Are you sure you are not kidding?

"Director Li, please don't tease me. I would be very satisfied if I could have 3 million yuan."

Lu Yang was really flattered. He felt that Li Yu really thought highly of him.

"I'm not kidding you guys, I'm serious."

Li Yu said seriously.

"I have known Li Yu for so many years. His predictions may be biased, but his general direction has never been wrong."

Da Tiantian tells the truth.

Wang Jing was dumbfounded, thinking, oh no, Lu Yang is about to join the 5 million club.

Lu Yang looked very terrified: "Let me take my time, I need to digest it."
