In November, with the advent of Double 11, netizens began their annual journey of chopping hands, contributing their own strength to the sales record of Ahri New Year's Double 11, and also emptying the purse for Ma Qingyang's impact on the richest man.

Along with Double 11, there is also the upcoming Chinese New Year market, in the past three years, all the Double 11 movies have been sold well, and every time they are small, the investment of 10 million or 20 million can sell more than 400 million or 600 million box office.

If it weren't for the fact that only romance films were in line with Double 11, and the time was too short, they could all be called a popular schedule alone.

In addition, it is followed by the Chinese New Year stalls, and Double 11 is becoming more and more lively.

The action suspense movie "Golden Cicada" starring Stallone and Schwarzenegger, released in early November, sold 130 million in the first seven days of the first week.

The superhero movie "Thor 2" earned 140 million in the first three days of the first weekend, surpassing the box office of the first part.

Unpopular superheroes can sell at this box office in three days, and popcorn special effects movies are getting bigger and bigger in the domestic market, and they may also have the popularity brought by "The Avengers".

Two Hollywood blockbusters swept the film market, and among other domestic films, the romance film "Sweetheart Chocolate" starring Lin Zhiling sold 2.4 million in three days.

This was supposed to be a tribute film to the 40th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan last year, and it was supposed to be released last year, but something happened and it has been delayed until now.

is the love story of Lin Zhiling and a Japanese Ben person, to be honest, Lin Zhiling, who speaks Japanese, I don't know if it will make the audience, especially some male audiences, feel more familiar.

After all, with many people, she has spent countless lonely nights together.

......

And on the night of the 10th, the real protagonist of Double 11, the great director Teng Huatao's new film "Waiting for the Wind to Comes", finally appeared on the stage and held a premiere ceremony.

Huayang Media and Future Pictures jointly invested and distributed, and the battle was not ordinary.

Huang Zhongjun, Huang Zhonglei, and Ma Xiaogang led a large number of stars from Huayang Media to the scene.

Du Yang also came to cheer with Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang.

"Huang Dong. ”

"Mr. Du. ”

Huang Zhongjun snorted, and asked in surprise, "Didn't Director Li come today?"

Du Yang explained with a smile, "The crew of "Rejuvenation" is catching up with the schedule, and Director Li can't attend the premieres of "Waiting for the Wind" and "Thai Embarrassment". ”

"Hey!" Huang Zhongjun sighed, "The filming is not bad for a day or two, how can Director Li not come at such an important time, I don't think Hua Tao is at ease at all." ”

After speaking, before Du Yang could speak, he walked straight away and sat down in the screening hall.

"Big brother, Hua Tao is obviously a little dissatisfied with Li Qian, I think as long as you add a fire, you can pull his other foot back. Huang Zhonglei smiled proudly beside him.

Recently, it has been really good and good, this Li Qian sent another assist, and he didn't even participate in the premiere ceremony of the new film of the 600 million director he invested.

Tenghuatao has just become famous, and it is the time when he needs the respect and recognition of the industry to jump from a famous TV series director to a famous film director.

didn't come to the premiere, Huang Zhonglei noticed it in the past few days, Teng Huatao was definitely a little unhappy.

When the Lunar New Year file arrived, the time for Huayang Media to turn over came, and Huang Zhongjun also regained his previous composure, and nodded quietly, "I'll leave it to you, and tie Tenghua Tao firmly to me." ”

"No problem, big brother, you can rest assured. Huang Zhonglei packed the ticket with confidence.

At this time, the creators on stage have already taken the stage, and the premiere ceremony has officially begun.

Although it is a small-budget movie, the momentum of "Waiting for the Wind" is not small at all, and the ceremony lasted for an hour and a half.

Teng Huatao stepped down and said hello to Huang Zhongjun and Du Yang, and sat down in the front row, leaned back slightly, leaned back, and cocked Erlang's legs, ready to welcome the applause after an hour and a half.

The movie is about to be officially released, and the director's acting career is about to reach a new level, which has slightly dispelled the discomfort in Teng Huatao's heart.

However, after the film was shown for a while, Teng Huatao clearly felt that the screening hall was too quiet.

Why didn't the audience react at all?

Teng Huatao sat up slightly, turned his head and looked diagonally back.

Maybe it's too devoted!

Thinking so, he leaned back again.

However, for the entire 90 minutes, I didn't find any reaction from the audience.

Until the end of the movie, there was a lot of applause, which seemed a little harsh in this huge screening room.

After a few seconds, the applause of the other audience members was intermittently heard, until they converged.

"Whew!"

Teng Hua breathed a sigh of relief, the movie is more about understanding the philosophy of life, the audience was immersed in it, felt it, and it was reasonable to remember to applaud after being stunned.

Listening to the tidal applause in his ears, Teng Huatao felt that his heart was beating violently, and he became more and more excited.

......

"Congratulations Hua Tao, "Waiting for the Wind to Come" is bound to be a big hit!"

At the banquet afterward, Huang Zhongjun took the lead in toasting Tenghuatao.

"The box office of 600 million has been bottomed, and there is a lot to be done to break through 800 million, when the time comes, take out my bottle of treasured 92-year-old eagle roar to celebrate!" Huang Zhonglei said with a generous smile.

"Haha, then I'll just wait to taste Zhonglei's baby. Teng Huatao also laughed, he hadn't drunk more than 3 million bottles of wine.

A vice president of Huayang next to him quipped, "Zhonglei's bottle of wine is really a treasure, I am reluctant to take it out after so long, we are still stained with Huatao's light, otherwise I am afraid, Zhonglei will be regarded as a family heirloom." ”

The corners of Ma Xiaogang's mouth, who was holding a glass next to him, twitched, after the release of "1942" last year, Huang Zhonglei said that he would open the bottle of red wine worth more than 3 million at the celebration press conference.

As a result, the box office failed miserably, Huang Zhonglei didn't mention it, and only opened the Romanée Conti for 90 years, which he bought at the Xiangjiang Zaqi auction for 1.4 million boxes, and a bottle was only 100,000 yuan.

Of course, Ma Xiaogang was not embarrassed to mention the 92-year-old Eagle Roar, what is there to drink, isn't it wine, and the price of more than 3 million was still auctioned at a charity auction.

Charity auctions, everyone who knows it.

Moreover, drinking alcohol hurts the body, it is better to drink tea.

Ma Xiaogang didn't think much of the performance of the Huang family brothers, he had already seen through the nature of the two brothers.

Looking at Teng Hua's proud face, Ma Xiaogang thought to himself, the story of "Waiting for the Wind to Come" is not good, if the box office fails, the bottle of wine will not be saved for the celebration of "Private Custom".

Ma Xiaogang smiled suddenly, and Teng Huatao asked curiously when he saw it, "Why is Director Ma laughing?"

"Oh, I remembered something glad of me"

"Happy? That's really worth laughing at, and I'll give you a drink. Teng Huatao laughed and touched his glass with Ma Xiaogang and drank it all.

And Ma Xiaogang took a sip of the red wine in the glass, smashed it, and shook his head.

It's not delicious!

.......

The premiere is over, and the movie released on the 11th will start at zero o'clock.

Time gradually passed, at half past nine in the morning, the first round of official screenings began, although Singles' Day is a Monday, but there are still bad young men and women across the country to walk into the cinema on this special day.

As a new film directed by 600 million, even if the actors of "Waiting for the Wind to Come" are not very famous, even if the heroine Ni Ni is "Mou Girl", the popularity has also dropped in the past year or so.

But even so, with Teng Huatao's fame, it is enough to become the hottest movie at the moment.

In this era, only famous directors have box office appeal, and the box office of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is more than 600 million, which is enough to push Tenghuatao into the ranks of famous directors.

However, with the release of the movie, there were many negative reviews.

The plot is boring!

The female pig's feet are inexplicably in a daze, crying, epiphany and all kinds of mental self-abuse, and she is hypocritical to death.

The whole thing is a Nepalese landscape.

Wenqing.

Moaning without illness, self-moving.

Be all abroad.

In the evening, the complaints that can be seen everywhere on the Internet make Tenghuatao a little incredulous.

"How can this be? The audience can't understand my movie?"

Looking at these comments from the audience on the Internet, Teng Huatao didn't react for a while, and couldn't understand why the audience saw these from his movies.

What about those life insights?

Immediately afterwards, at about twelve o'clock in the morning, he received box office information, but he woke him up directly.

Only 21 million on the first day......

The audience's evaluation and the box office on the first day were far lower than expected, and Tenghuatao was completely confused.

This is Double 11 Singles' Day, which should have exploded at the box office, but it only had a box office of 21 million.

Not only Tenghua was stunned, but Huang Zhongjun was also stunned, his original expectations were even higher than these two, otherwise he would not have chosen to release it on Monday's Double 11.

And in the next few days, because it was not a rest day, coupled with the word-of-mouth of the movie, the next Tuesday plummeted to 13 million.

On Wednesday, it fell directly below the 10 million mark, leaving only 9 million.

After three days of release, it became worse and worse day by day, and it was directly cut in half.

Not only Teng Huatao and Huang Zhongjun, but also major companies were dumbfounded and completely confused.

"This movie that Li Qian likes has always been a big hit, why did he do it with Huayang Media this time, but it failed miserably at the box office?"

This question continues to plague the entire film industry.

So much so that some people wondered with ill intentions whether Li Qian was a hindrance.

......

"It must be Li Qian's ghost!"

In the office of Huayang Media, Huang Zhonglei shouted angrily.

But after venting, both he and Huang Zhongjun understood that this had nothing to do with Li Qian's dime.

After all, the two sides of the film are half invested, and no one will get along with them.

Moreover, Huang Zhongjun also checked, whether it is the reviews on the Internet or the box office, they are all true, and no one has done anything about it.

But it's precisely because you can't find a reason that it's even more maddening.

"Smack!"

Huang Zhongjun slapped the table hard and said hatefully, "I finally had a blockbuster director, but it turned out to be useless!"

Don't think about it, blind people can see that the reason for the movie is that Teng Huatao did not shoot well.

"That's... Big brother, do Teng Huatao still need to be wooed?" Huang Zhonglei said with some hesitation.

"Of course!" Huang Zhongjun said affirmatively, "It's just a failure, and the cost is low, and he won't lose money, even if he fails at the box office next time, as long as he makes this kind of small-budget romance film, it doesn't matter if he loses money or not, as long as he doesn't let him touch a big production." ”

"Yes. Huang Zhonglei nodded, Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang still have failures, maybe Teng Huatao will do it again next time.

Besides, low-budget movies can afford to block.

Huang Zhongjun then advised, "Not only to win over, but also to be more sincere, let him know who is really good to him when he is down."

The icing on the cake is never as good as charcoal in the snow, and the more we pay attention to him at this time, the more he will die for us in the future!"

"Big brother, high!" Huang Zhongjun's eyes lit up, he gave a thumbs up, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said with some pain, "Then my bottle of 92-year-old eagle roar will be opened for Tenghua in a few days!"

"It's just a bottle of wine, it's open, you have to have a big picture!" Huang Zhongjun waved his hand, disapproving, it was only more than 3 million, and it was not worth the fraction of the income earned by "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", as long as Teng Huatao made another movie like this, this wine could make him drink until he held his urine!

"However, the big production resolutely can't let him touch it, and he will pinch it off for me as soon as there is a sign of this!"

......

In a luxuriously decorated villa, Ma Xiaogang was leisurely sipping tea at this time.

The box office failure of "Waiting for the Wind" failed, Ma Xiaogang was not sad at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and his status in Huayang Media, 60% of the shares of a shell company were sold for 300 million.

didn't do anything, and he got 300 million cash for signing a contract for five movies, just because Huayang Media could only rely on him.

If Teng Huatao sells it this time, then he will have to face competition.

Looking at this pitiful box office, Ma Xiaogang even wanted to laugh a little, in the end, the Huang brothers still had to slap themselves up.

And that bottle of 92-year-old eagle roar is also its turn to open!

Besides, it was supposed to be opened last year, but I just got it back!

......

In the next few days, the box office of "Waiting for the Wind" fell to 6 million on Thursday, almost a plunge of more than 30% per day.

As Friday approached the weekend, the box office stopped its decline and rose by 1 million to 7 million.

This is also really no movie, the two Hollywood blockbusters broke out in the early stage, and they also dived later.

Among other new films, "Red Flame Battlefield 2", which was released on Friday, was only 10 million on the first day.

Then the horror film "Chasing the Soul Step by Step" was one million on the first day, and the name of this film, I don't know if it is the sister chapter of "Step by Step".

On Saturday and Sunday, "Waiting for the Wind" got 16 million, and the total box office in the first seven days of the entire first week was only 72 million.

21 million on the first day and 72 million on seven days.

Teng Huatao, who was still in the circle for the box office on the first day, was hit hard.

So much so, in the face of an interview, I can only say that when I was filming this genre, I thought that the box office would not be too high, but this is what I wanted to shoot and show to the audience.

This is also the first box office hit the street movie invested by Future Pictures, although the golden sign of Future Pictures, coupled with Teng Huatao, a 600 million director, this combination is so weird.

However, it also made various companies in the industry a little more steady, but the future film industry is not a big hit of every movie, so they have a chance to take a breath and become more and more excited.

This time, Future Pictures + Tenghuatao can fail miserably at the box office, so what about next time?

The industry began to turn its attention to Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment", and earnestly hoped that the Chinese New Year file could repeat the mistakes of the past and break the signboard of the future film industry.

Xu Zheng became a little nervous, "Damn, why did Teng Huatao suddenly hit the street, the pressure is so great!"
