Chapter 602: The box office battle of the Chinese New Year
"Coming back?"
"Uh, yes, I just came back last night, and I'm at the office right now. ”
He Xin was a little surprised to receive Jiang Qinqin's call, he didn't expect her to be so well-informed.
"You're back in the capital too?"
After filming "Wang Gui and Anna", she gave herself a long vacation. I had an occasional phone call when I was in Lushui before, and I learned that she went to Japan for a trip, and then returned to her hometown in Chongqing.
"I came here last week, and I just finished shooting a commercial. Then I received a notice from your company that "Wang Gui and Anna" was going to start promotion, and asked me to participate in "Super Interview" and "Bass Appointment" next week. By the way, I knew that you were back. Jiang Qinqin said with a smile on the phone.
"Wang Gui and Anna" has been sold to four satellite TV stations in Shanghai, Beijing, Shandong and Anhui, and will be used as the opening drama after the Spring Festival next year.
I have to say that in the field of TV dramas, Xinhao Media has made a signboard. In addition, "Wang Gui and Anna" is starring Jiang Qinqin, the queen of Golden Eagle TV, and Guo Tao, who became popular because of "Stone", which has won the competition for purchases from various David TVs.
Jiang Qinqin paused slightly, and invited in a brisk tone: "Hey, are you free at night, please eat!"
"Uh...... I'm really sorry, it's really unfortunate today, there are already arrangements for the evening. ”
"Oh, what about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is the viewing party of Ning Hao's new movie, and when the time comes, Han Sanye and Bona's Yu Zong will participate, and they will definitely not be able to spare time. ”
"So ......"
Without waiting for Jiang Qinqin to say anything more, He Xin hurriedly interrupted: "Sister Qinqin, forget it this time, I can only stay for three days at most when I come back, and I will leave the day after tomorrow." When this time is over, I will invite you to dinner. ”
"Okay! I originally wanted to invite you to watch a movie! I heard that "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number" are both very good. Since you're not available, I'll have to find someone else!
"Bye-bye!"
After hanging up the phone, He Xinfa, who was sitting in the car, was stunned for a moment before instructing Shen Mingdao, who was driving, to say, "You can go to Tuanjie Lake in a while." ”
"Got it, new brother. Shen Ming replied as usual.
At the beginning, Sister Hong's first words to care for him were: "What to listen to and what not to hear, what to say and what not to say, you must know in your heart." ”
He always kept it in mind, and at the same time practiced it.
He Xin lied to Jiang Qinqin on the phone, but in fact, he had nothing to do today at all and was on his way home. And he didn't even have dinner, and was planning to go to Lao Feng's roast mutton restaurant to buy some roast mutton and sesame roast cakes to bring back for dinner.
It's not that he really doesn't want to see Jiang Qinqin, he just doesn't trust his resistance. Jiang Qinqin, who was in the original time and space, married early and became a mother at this time. But at this time, due to He Xin's inadvertent intervention, she is still alone.
But now Jiang Qinqin seems to be getting older and more charming, which is especially resistant to He Xin, who has already exceeded fifty years of mental age. He was worried that he would not be able to take that step one day, especially after two months of being a vegetarian like now, and it would be even more difficult to suppress his physical urges.
There is a saying that happiness is always short-lived, but in exchange for endless pain and sighs!
He didn't want to be a scumbag, and he didn't want to be reluctant to be beautiful at the moment, so he could only choose not to see it. Qishu.com
After Jiang Qinqin on the other end of the phone hurriedly hung up the phone, she also sat on the sofa and looked out the window in a daze. She is no longer a little girl, but at this time she has a kind of sourness, anxiety and restlessness when she first loved. Knowing that there is no result, why should she be so persistent? So far, she has not had a reason to convince herself.
The car was moving along Gongti North Road in the direction of Tuanjie Lake, and He Xin accidentally saw two huge movie posters posted at the door of a cinema on the side of the road through the car window.
The bearded Andy Lau, the yin owl Li Lian and the angry Jin Chengwu can be described as starry and unique. All three big stars seem to have subverted their usual on-screen image.
And the other is a row of stake tombstones in the setting sun, a silent veteran. The characters are very small, only the three traditional characters of "assembly number" are particularly eye-catching.
In the first ten months of 2007, almost all of the movie box office was dominated by imported films: "Transformers" 280 million, "Spider-Man 3" 150 million, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" 145 million, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World" 130 million, "007: Casino Royale" 93 million, "Night at the Museum" 65 million.
The next turn is the 64 million box office of "Disciple", which is the only one in Chinese films.
But in November, the unpopular schedule before the Chinese New Year, "Lust and Caution", which was postponed, won a high box office of 137 million with the help of strong media hype, controversial social topics and the high quality of the film itself. The box office of "The Tale of Two Donkeys", which was widely praised before, was only a fraction of what it was.
However, "Lust and Caution" is not the craziest, when "Cast a Name" debuted in the Chinese New Year file, it broke the opening week box office record of all Chinese films including "Hero", "Kung Fu", and "The City Full of Golden Armor" with a box office of 98 million in the first weekend.
What's more important is that in addition to the box office, "Vote for Fame" has broken the strange circle of "not applauded" for previous blockbusters, and the majority of audiences and media have a good evaluation of "Vote for Fame".
Investors such as China Film and Media Asia, including the distributor Poly Bona, shouted the slogan of "the box office broke 400 million, breaking the box office record in the history of Chinese films".
However, only a week later, Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number" was released, and on the first four days, it won 90 million box office in one fell swoop with less than two-thirds of the film schedule and only 60% of the number of copies of "Casting Names".
At the same time, the box office of "Casting a Name" stagnated.
In fact, before the release of "Assembly", the cast did not have a big star, and the investment was only one-third of "Casting Names", and almost no one was optimistic. Everyone is predicting that without Ge You, the Fung New Year film is about to usher in Waterloo.
But the end result was a big surprise.
He Xin also paid special attention to the news on the Internet this afternoon, "The Assembly" has won 160 million box office in the first week of its release, while "Casting the Name" has stayed at 190 million, and it has not been able to break through the 200 million mark for a long time, but the film schedule has been greatly squeezed by "The Assembly".
It can be seen that Yu Dong's previous shouting of a box office of more than 400 million, breaking the box office record of Chinese films is nothing but laughter.
He Xin watched pirated discs in his previous life, and he couldn't figure out who would win and who would lose at the box office of these two Chinese New Year blockbusters, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is almost a foregone conclusion that "Assembly" will come later.
"Hey, Shen Ming, have you read "Casting Names" and "Assembly Number"?" He Xin suddenly asked.
"I haven't had time yet, I was going to see it tomorrow. Shen Ming responded.
Two Chinese blockbusters have been released one after another, and they are rarely well received, as a member of this industry, Shen Ming certainly doesn't want to miss it.
"If you had to choose one of them, which one would you choose?" He Xin asked again.
Shen Ming didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "Of course it's "Assembly". ”
That's right, Shen Ming was originally a veteran, and he has a natural sense of emotional closeness to this theme of telling the bloody battle of our army.
"You find a place to park, let's eat first, and I'll treat you to a movie when it's over, huh...... Let's see "The Assembly"!"
