"The Boss hasn't been to the studio for three days. ”

In Li Qian's studio, Guo Fan and the others got together boredly and chatted.

The studio is now making a movie "Frequency of Life and Death", and the salaries of all the crew members have been settled, and the rented equipment has been returned.

The post-processing and copymaking were also completed, and the publicity and distribution could not be intervened.

is a verbal promise to invest in the movie starring Huang Boxin, in addition, there are only two movies left of Qi Yukun's "Jaws 2" and Guo Fan's "127 Hours".

Ten days ago, Li Qian told them that the rhythm of the script was problematic again, and asked them to go back and change it.

Now the script has been changed, but Li Qian has not been to the studio for several days.

"Since ancient times, Gentle Township has been a hero's mound. ”

Guo Fan sighed with emotion in his heart, and looked at Qi Yukun, "Old Qi, do you want to call the boss?"

Qi Yukun shook his head, "Didn't you say that there is no big event, don't bother him, find the actors first, and write the storyboard." ”

"The script is not decided, how to write it. ”

"It's not about making a movie against the script, it's almost enough, it's mainly a storyboard script, and the actors and photographers of your film are much more important than the script, so you have time to determine the actors as soon as possible, don't find the right person when the time comes. ”

"I've been thinking about suitable candidates these days, like Chen Kun and Liu Ye, but I can't afford to hire them at all. ”

Guo Fan is also very distressed, as his first movie, he has not thought about the actor candidate for "127 Hours".

Not to mention the actors, he even thought about the good reputation of the movie after its release, and the box office hit.

But the actor he likes is too expensive, the movie "127 Hours", the niche of the minhe, if he loses money, he can't explain it to Li Qian.

Of course, the biggest fear is not losing money, but not your own money anyway.

The main thing is what if Li Qian doesn't invest in him in the future after he loses it.

Therefore, it is necessary to control costs.

"Wait a minute, find Mr. Zhang, ask for a list of domestic actors aged 25-35, and look for it slowly. ”

Guo Fan sighed and said, "Your "Jaws 2" is simple, the actors are all ready-made, there is no need to look for it." ”

Qi Yukun shook his head, "I'm also a little troublesome, I've already contacted Li Guangjie, but his agent asked for a salary of 1 million." ”

"1 million?"

Guo Fan was taken aback, "Crazy, I really dare to make a price, Chen Kun took over a big production "Painted Skin" with an investment of 80 million, and he only got a salary of 1 million." ”

Although it is normal for the leading actors of sequel movies to increase their salaries, both at home and abroad, this million is too outrageous, this is already the ceiling for male actors in the mainland except for Ge Wei.

"His agent said at the beginning that he didn't want to shoot the Internet, and I said that after I got on the big screen, he would offer a price of 1 million, but it is estimated that some of them will talk about 6 or 700,000 yuan. ”

Even if it is six or seven hundred thousand, it is not a small number, and this Qi Yukun does not dare to agree.

"This Li Guangjie really thinks how important he is. ”

The shark in "Jaws" is the only protagonist, except for the theme of sharks, which cannot be changed, all other characters are not necessary.

Qi Yukun said, "It's better to be safe, I can accept two or three hundred thousand, after all, it's going to be on the big screen, and it's a sequel, and it's normal for the protagonist to increase his salary." ”

In the first movie, he still tried to be as stable as possible, if he didn't have to change it, he still used Li Guangjie to be safe.

Guo Fan said a little strangely, "However, where did Li Guangjie get so much confidence, I'm afraid he won't be able to receive the movie male number one now, right?"

"It is estimated that "Lichun" will be released in two months, Gu Changwei's film, before his "Peacock" made Zhang Jing popular, and there are a lot of movie resources. ”

"Zhang Jingchu is Xiao Zhang Ziyi, where does Li Guangjie get his self-confidence?"

Guo Fan was speechless, his appearance, acting skills, and connections are not bad, but he Li Guangjie's appearance is not bad.

Chatting and chatting, suddenly Qi Yukun's mobile phone rang and received a message.

It was sent by Li Qian, and he quickly opened it and looked at it.

"After reading the script, there is no problem, you can estimate the approximate budget for me by yourself, start preparing, I will not interfere. ”

After reading this short text message, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Guo Fanteng sat up from the chair and said with a smile, "I'll just say, how can the boss leave it down and not do business!"

......

Li Qian, who doesn't do anything serious in Guo Fan's eyes, is still lying in bed.

threw the phone at the head of the bed and patted Tong Liya, who was lying on top of him like an octopus.

"I'm up for breakfast. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Tong Liya's face was pressed against Li Qian's chest and rubbed.

"I'm not hungry. ”

"But I'm hungry, people are iron and steel, it's 11 o'clock, and I'll even eat lunch together. ”

Li Qian was a little helpless, and lived a few days at home without shame and irritability, Tong Liya was a little embarrassed at first, but slowly changed Li Qian a little unbearable.

Originally, this time was to recharge and rest well for the next publicity.

This is good, the spirit is not good, and the sharp is not saved.

But.

Li Qian rubbed lightly on Tong Liya's smooth back with some fascination.

Coming from a dance major, it's just different.

......

It was not until twelve o'clock that the two of them got up.

Today, December 14th, starting at a quarter past seven in the evening, the screening of "Frequency of Life and Death" in major cities across the country will begin.

Moreover, there is only half a month left before the release of the movie, and Li Qian has to start promoting it with the crew.

Now "Casting the Name" has also been released in the mainland for two days, as the first blockbuster of the Chinese New Year, it has no rivals in the film market at all.

The few movies released at the end of November have now been screened for half a month, and there are only a fraction of the box office left every day, not to mention the impact on "Vote for Fame", and there is not even a splash in the film market.

There are no opponents in the same period, "The Assembly" will not be released until next week, and "Casting the Name" reproduces the grand occasion of last year's Chinese New Year file "The City is Full of Golden Armor", completely dominating all the movie theaters.

700 copies of film, without any rivals, is enough to achieve 100% utilization, not to mention 100% film scheduling, in fact, it makes not much difference.

It was officially released at 6 p.m. on the 12th, and in just one night and four hours, "Casting a Name" got a super high box office of 10 million.

It's still Wednesday, a weekday, and you can see the popularity of this movie.

On Thursday, the 13th, "Casting the Name" once again won 1,500 box office, and the box office reached 25 million in two days of release.

The next three days and weekends are the big ones, and there is even hope that the box office will exceed 20 million in a single day.

There is no doubt that it is a big hit, and this box office data has made the media start to tout wildly.

Even, many media have predicted that "Casting a Name" is expected to break the box office record of "The City is Full of Golden Armor".

The situation is very good, although some comments that the film is too depressing, it has also been ignored.

All the voices are masked under the high box office.

Although "Frequency of Life and Death" was released half a month later, Li Qian has also been paying attention to the box office and evaluation of "Casting Names".

Sure enough, it didn't surprise him, although the box office was high and the reputation among film critics was also very good, but it was only two days after it was released, and the comments of the online audience have begun to have some dark, bloody, dull and other comments, all of which are not conducive to the Chinese New Year file.

But you still have to look at the box office next week, and you can't see anything at the box office in the first week.

With this lineup, the current publicity position, the completely overflowing schedule, and the absence of any opponents in the same period, the first week is bound to explode.

In the afternoon, Li Qian and Tong Liya came to today's CBD Wanda, and tonight's screening of "Frequency of Life and Death" in Beijing will be held in Wanda Cinema.

On Friday night, there is absolutely no shortage of foot traffic in the shopping malls near the CBD, and Wanda is also the best cinema chain in China.

At a quarter past six o'clock in the evening, there was still an hour before the movie show, Li Qian and Tong Liya arrived, and by the way, they observed the situation in the cinema.

There are quite a lot of people, and the age group is quite complete, Li Qian saw several couples taking their children to watch the movie.

Chinese New Year, a festive day.

There are constantly audiences coming in, and they just happen to meet a hall that is over, and the audience comes out one after another.

You don't have to think about it to know that you must have watched "Vote for Fame".

Li Qian looked at the rolling film schedule information in the hall, and all 9 screening halls are now showing "Casting Names", and he can't see other movies at all.

The flagship theater in the core area of the CBD in Beijing, during the prime time of Friday night, each show represents a huge income, and ordinary films are not shown at all.

Some of the audience who left the stage were still discussing the movie, and Li Qian also listened with his ears sideways.

"I was depressed, I was all dead, and in the end, the three old men benefited. ”

"The first time I watched Li Lianjie play such a role, it was so ruthless that I couldn't tell that the voice was his, and when I heard his voice in the back of the play, I felt chills. ”

"How can Chen Kexin make such a film, I still come for "Sweet Honey", it's a waste of time, it's better to go shopping. ”

"I wanted to relax and relax, but now I feel even more unhappy, so I'd better wait for Ma Xiaogang's movie. ”

.....

Among the viewers who continue to appear, many are complaining, and the focus is on the overall atmosphere of the movie.

Moreover, Li Qian noticed that the majority of the audience was female.

This film is indeed not suitable for female audiences, although there is also a bloody love triangle, but Xu Jinglei's role, no woman can substitute for it, even if the other two men are Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua.

Not to mention the overall tone and other bloody, dark scenes.

It can be said that "Vote for Fame" almost abandoned the female audience.

When the rest of the audience heard these voices, they were somewhat hesitant.

However, the attraction of the three superstars Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, and Jin Chengwu is still very strong, even if they hear what others say is not good, there are still a lot of people who are willing to take a look.

However, some people, especially parents with children, don't want to watch it when they hear such comments from other audiences.

"Husband, why don't we change the film, it seems that this "Casting a Name" is very bloody. ”

A mother with her child in her arms said to her husband.

"But there are no other movies released, it seems to be just a "Frequency of Life and Death", it sounds quite scary, and it is life and death. ”

"That's... Why don't you go back? ”

As soon as he heard this, the child began to make a fuss, holding his mother's hand with both hands and stomping his feet on the ground.

"I don't, I want to watch a movie!"

A young couple next to him heard their conversation, and the boy said, "You can watch "Frequency of Life and Death", it's not scary, it's a science fiction movie, it seems to be about father-son affection, children can watch it." ”

"Yes, thank you. ”

The child had to see it, and the young man didn't seem to be deliberately deceiving people, so the husband thanked him and went to the front desk to buy a ticket.

Although there is only one screening, the movie tickets are still relatively sufficient, after all, there is no fame, and there is not much publicity, and they all buy tickets on the spot.

One after another, viewers found that there was another movie on the market, asked the front desk, and after learning that it was a science fiction film, many people still bought tickets out of curiosity.

And the girl was complaining about her boyfriend, "Lu Chao, why do you want to watch this "Frequency of Life and Death", I haven't heard of it, it's better to watch "Vote for Names". ”

"Don't worry, my dear, with my understanding of this director, this movie is definitely not bad, and haven't you heard someone say that "Casting a Name" is too dark and depressing, I'm afraid you won't be comfortable watching. ”

"I don't care, I want to see Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu!"

"Okay, I'll watch "Vote for Fame" tomorrow, watch this one first, and make sure it looks good. ”

"Humph!"

After appeasing his girlfriend, Lu Chao ran to the front desk to buy a ticket.

watched Li Qian's two online universities, and after learning that he entered the big screen, Lu Chao, who is half a fan, has been paying attention to it and watching the screening for the first time.

As a movie lover, he watched "Vote for Fame" when it was just released the day before yesterday.

My girlfriend didn't have time, and she wanted to watch it again, so she didn't wait for her to have time, so she watched it alone.

But you can't tell your girlfriend, otherwise he will leave her alone to go to the movies, and he will lose his temper, which is annoying.

Women are really hard to serve, or movies are interesting.

Li Qian, your movie should not be worse than "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Jaws", otherwise you will help me coax my girlfriend!

.......

"Ahh

Li Qian suddenly sneezed heavily like a nose.

"It's strange, why is it so cold this winter, don't those brick families say that global warming is happening every day!"

"Li Qian, do you have a cold?"

Tong Liya looked at him with a concerned face, and looked at the front desk from a distance, "I'll buy you a cup of hot milk tea." ”

"No, someone may scold me, I drank a glass of Coke just now, the movie is about to start, don't drink so much water. ”

Li Qian didn't want to watch his own movie, and suddenly wanted to go to the toilet.

An hour passed quickly, and there were also audiences who appeared and entered the venue one after another, and heard a lot of not optimistic reactions to "Vote for Fame".

At 7:10, 5 minutes before the opening of the movie, I began to line up to check in for tickets.
