Chapter 123: Xiangjiang is also a real fire

Don't just talk about the mainland, the box office of "Sweet Honey" in Xiangjiang is higher than that in the mainland, and the popularity of this movie in Xiangjiang should have been.

In the original earth, this movie was the fifteenth place in the annual box office ranking of Xiangjiang, what kind of perverts are there in front of it? Three parts of the Crazy Boy series, three parts of Leslie Cheung, "God of Food", "Ouchi Secret Agent Zero Hair", plus one "Police Story 4", can get fifteen places in a group of immortals fighting, you can imagine the power of this love story.

5.9 million on the first day and 10.6 million in the first week, even if "Princess Road Murderer" was released a week early, it only won the box office championship in the first week at the box office of more than 7 million.

In the second week, because of the strong appearance of "Sweet Honey", it fell by 50%, and the box office was only more than 2 million.

Compared with the mixed reviews of Peng Danchang's films, most of Chu Shun's new movies are praised.

"This year's best picture was booked in advance for "Sweet Honey", and Chu Shun proved that he is comfortable in any field. - "Outside"

"Xiangjiang can't be like Li Xiaojun's aunt, immersed in the glory of the past, not to mention that the past is not brilliant, just like an aunt and a Hollywood star, that is just a part of the memory. β€”β€”Ming Pao

"Actor Gu Su presented us with wonderful acting skills, the crying scene at the end, can be ranked in the top ten in the history of Chinese films, and "Sweet Honey" can also enter the top three in the field of romance films. - Ta Kung Pao

Yishui's praise made "Sweet Honey" win more than 7 million box office in the second week of its release, with only a drop of more than 30 percent, which is a bit different from the mainland's 50% decline, and another reason is that the box office in the mainland is too fierce in the first week.

won the box office single-week champion, and at present, more than 30 million is stable.

To say that Yuandi Star is the same as Earth, in the nineties the annual box office champion had forty or fifty million, but in the new century, the box office champion in 19 years was just 40 million, which is a bit regressive.

Of course, the reason for the regression is not that Hong Kong people don't like to watch movies anymore, but the complete decline of Hong Kong movies, because none of the top ten on the total box office list of Hong Kong are local Hong Kong films, all of them are Hollywood blockbusters, and there is no domestic production.

Therefore, "Sweet Honey" can have a box office of more than 30 million, and it is also the top five of the year, and it is safe to say that there are no opponents in the top three in the same period.

Mong Kok Wan Kee Restaurant, a place to drink afternoon tea.

At this time, a bunch of people gathered, and a familiar face was a horse kicker, and the others were a little unfamiliar - Sun Sifang, Su Yun, and Gu Dafa.

All four have in common, they are all columnists for Cinema Fortnightly.

The special writer of "Film Fortnightly", you must know that this weekly magazine founded the Academy Awards before, and later used the magazine as the prototype, invited famous directors, and founded the Xiangjiang Film Awards Association, and the mutual status can be imagined.

Because of this, "Film Fortnightly" does not have columnists, and it is all in the form of special appointments.

Sun Sifang, the producer of the production department of Huaxia Film Company, is known as the second brother in the circle.

Su Yun is a writer, but his works are very popular with directors, now thirty-seven years old, he has been writing for 12 years, there are a total of seven novels, and there are not too many short stories, and his works have been adapted from more than ten movies, so he can be regarded as half an insider.

Gu Dafa, don't look at his name is a bit earthy, in fact, he is also very dirty, but he has played a lot of credit to the resume of the Xiangjiang Artists Association, so he is a hidden boss.

"I heard that Chu Shun has a nickname in the mainland called Chu Xian, because what he did was too inhuman. "Su Yun often travels inland, so he is familiar with it.

"That Chu Shun is an eternal beast, and he really can't be washed in vain. The storyboard ability and creative ability are too strong, you say that I have half the level of coaching, and I will not be a film critic. The horse pedalman said: "I have already made a movie." ”

"Are you in the sweet honey crew, Chu Shun is really so exaggerated as in the rumors, and you can catch everything?" Sun Sifang asked the horse kicker.

"What is a rumor, it is the truth!" "Second brother, let me tell you, I have been an assistant director for most of my life, I have never seen this kind of director, you said that we Xiangjiang in the eighties A drama was filmed in more than ten days, and the directors are also generalists."

But Chu Shun can't be described as an all-rounder, editing, soundtrack, art direction, photography, props and costumes, including sets and lighting, and teaching actors to act is also a basic operation. The horse pedalman stopped, "Chu Xian's nickname is too appropriate to call Director Chu, he basically wants to run the movie alone." ”

"There are always amazing characters in the entertainment industry. Gu Dafa sighed when he heard this, and the reason for his sigh was that the Xiangjiang film and television industry was getting more and more sluggish.

"I watched Sweet Honey. Gu Dafa cleaned up his tone and added, "The storyboards of a few scenes are really amazing, I want to applaud when I see it in the cinema, and the ending is also perfect, it doesn't live up to the emotions in front, it's good." ”

Su Yun also watched it, although he didn't agree with the three views of the characters in it, it didn't prevent him from enjoying this movie, good is good, and sighed: "Teresa Teng passed away, so Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao will walk on the street at the same time, I don't know what opportunity there is, let me walk on the street with you at the same time." ”

"It's sad again, Su Yun, you haven't let it go yet, everyone is married, and the children are five years old. Sun Sifang persuaded.

"I don't destroy other people's families, I like her because she doesn't like me, because if she likes me, her perfection in my heart will be destroyed. Su Yun added, "I have written a lot, and I have won the New Era Global Chinese Youth Literature Award, but my biggest pride in the first half of my life is that I like her." ”

Sun Sifang didn't want to speak, he felt that writers were prone to emotional problems, and the New Era Global Chinese Youth Literature Award was also the biggest literary award in Xiangjiang, so it was better to like someone, it was just a fantasy.

Although Ma Zhu and Gu Dafa are friends, the relationship is not so good, so it is not easy to speak.

"I really want to excerpt the love story between the foreign teacher and kale in the movie "Sweet Honey" and write it into a short story. Su Yun said, "After watching the movie, in addition to being impressed by the director's lens language, the most impressive thing is the foreign teacher and kale, there are two details in it, the first time Li Xiaojun met the foreign teacher is to hug the shoulder, and the second time is to hold it." ”

"Is this detail of Brother Ma unintentional, or is it deliberate by the director?" asked Su Yun.

"I'd like to think about itβ€”" The horse rider recalled, who paid attention to this detail, anyway, Gu Dafa, who had seen it in the cinema, couldn't remember it at all.

"It was directed by Director Chu, because I still remember that the actor who played the foreign teacher was Director Chu's teacher in the mainland school, but at that time, the performances of foreign teachers were all directed by Director Chu, and we were still talking about students teaching teachers at that time. ”

"Sure enough, Director Chu Shun is a strange detail, too detailed. Su Yun couldn't help but say.

The foursome sat in the tea restaurant for a while, and after the afternoon tea was finished, they left separately, but it was very clear that the horse riders had been calling Chu Shun Chu Dao, and it was obvious that they were convinced, and so was Su Yun.

Before the end, Su Yun also wanted to get to know Chu Shun through the horseshoe people, because writing a short story also required the consent of the original owner.

Back inland, the box office of "Sweet Honey" was 690 million, almost breaking seven, and there are seven meanings in the dark, and seven is really a magic number.

Chu Shun found the people of Xiying because of the account sharing, not because of less money, but because "Sweet Honey" shared more accounts.

Although it will take two or three months before it is sent to the bank card, the specific amount can be checked.

Chu Shunke didn't want to evade taxes at all, it wasn't that he was hypocritical or anything, he didn't lack money, look at the balance of his bank card, it kept rising.

The life of a rich person is so boring.

"Did the box office of "Sweet Honey" deduct the digital agency fee of China Film?" Chu Shun said straight to the point.

Because he was promoted to an A-level partner, the person who connected with him changed from the former deputy department manager to the manager.

Manager Zhao was a little confused, the first time he heard that he had a lot of money, he immediately replied: "Director Chu, please wait a moment, I will help check it out immediately." "Get out of your seat, this matter will have to be determined by other departments.

China Film Digital Agency Fee is a part of the money that all films have to be deducted like the Film Special Fund, about one percent to three percent of the box office.

There is a historical reason for this money, in the 70s, digital technology wanted to replace film technology, but most of the theaters in the country did not have the money to replace the equipment, it was the money from China Film, and now about 80% of the theater chains in the country are using China Film digital playback technology, so there is this part of the money.

However, it was later stipulated that after the domestic box office reached 800 million, there was no need to pay, but "Sweet Honey" did not arrive, even if the Hong Kong and Taiwan box office was added, it was not enough.

"Director Chu, I watched it. A few minutes later, Manager Zhao returned to his seat and said, "The rules of the Sino-British digital agency fee will be changed next month, and the requirements will be reduced by 200 million, and there will be no need to pay 600 million." ”

"Although it won't be announced until next month, the internal operation is actually also running, so "Sweet Honey" will not be deducted. Manager Zhao explained.

It's very good and powerful, Xiying is strong, and I don't know if Zhongying, which is stronger than Xiying, is more arrogant.

"Thank you. Chu Shun thanked him.

"Do you want Director Chu to stay and participate in an event in our capital Xiying. Manager Zhao invited.

"No, what are you doing with your company's internal activities, and I'm an outsider. Chu Shun directly refused.

After leaving the capital Xiying, I found the Lin Kai convenience store located in the third ring road of the capital, took some snacks, sat and ate, and took a break when I was free.

"I once had a dream to open a convenience store full of my favorite food, and I didn't care how much I sold, and then I would close the door and drive my Ferrari back to my villa in the heart of the city at night. Chu Shun's choice is half realized, this convenience store is opened by him, although there are no villas in the city center, there are still suites.

In order to complete the delusion that when I was a child, I hoped to take snacks casually and not give money, and I also specially designed a "VIP card", so that no matter how much you spend with the card, you don't have to pay.

Chu Shun, who was enjoying life, didn't know, and before he knew it, he was on the hot search again.
