Festivals and holidays stimulate consumption, and the curve of the movie box office can vividly reflect this.

"Love Before Dawn" got 21 million in the first week and 22.5 million in the second week, and the box office around Christmas and New Year's Day in the past two weeks accounted for more than 70% of the box office of their respective weeks.

This is the importance of the film's theme and the fit of the festival.

The box office data of Christmas Eve on the first night was good, and the results of Christmas on the second day were also good, and the film scheduling rate for the two days of the weekend was adjusted, because the box office of the first three days was okay, and the film schedule for the remaining four days of the first week was very stable, so the second week including New Year's Day was also very stable.

In terms of theaters, the theater pays attention to interests, and in the case that Beijing Blu-ray Culture is willing to give rebates for film scheduling, the box office results of "Love In" in the first two weeks are basically to maintain the profit point, and the real test is in the follow-up schedule without festivals.

The Blu-ray culture in Beijing has breathed a sigh of relief when it sees that it will not lose money, and everyone is looking forward to the next box office to rise more, after all, as soon as the Gregorian New Year passes, the Lunar New Year is approaching, and how much money can be made by watching movies with how big a red envelope can be sealed with a year-end bonus.

At this juncture of making money, Gan Jing, as the boss of the company, has already flown to Hong Kong to personally supervise the formation of the crew of "Infernal Affairs".

This time, the producers introduced by Gan Jing are Hong Kong Oriental Film and Television and Shancheng Culture, which are not big companies, and it seems that because of this, he feels that the speed of crew construction is a bit slow.

Director, producer, photography, art, props, etc. are more or less lagging behind, and the only thing that satisfies Gan Jing is the arrangement of street framing - Hong Kong Oriental Film and Television said that no matter where you want to shoot, there is no problem.

That's where the snake comes in.

Before flying to Hong Kong, Gan Jing also transferred from Yangcheng and attended the award ceremony of the Yangcheng Film Festival quite perfunctorily, which was the second film festival nomination for "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

It's just that before he flew over, he heard from Qian Mei that there would probably be no trophy gains.

Sure enough, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" won an award for Best Original Film Music, an award that has no sense of existence than Best Screenplay, however, its award nominations include nine nominations for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Film.

nominated nine items, and got the most non-existent one, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has become the biggest background board of the Yangcheng Film Festival, which inevitably has public opinion and discussion on the forum.

Can a film that has no connections in the industry and is written, directed and acted in can win an award?

Is it eligible to get it?

If there is a different person, it may be inevitable that there will be some self-doubt and loss, but Gan Jing was not affected at all, and he casually refused the media interview and flew directly to Hong Kong.

He always remembers that the original purpose of filming "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was to give his daughter a different kind of education and encouragement, and the film festival did not admit that it would have time to prove right or wrong.

And "Infernal Affairs" may speed up this time process.

Gan Jing has been a judge and the president of the jury, and he is very familiar with some of the issues that may exist in the festival.

......

"Brother Gan, I can't. ”

"I really can't. ”

"I'm not familiar with the casting director, how can I be an assistant director? ”

Mr. Gan Jing, the director, the leading actor and the investor, was very dissatisfied with Li Zaoyu, who did not show courage in front of him: "How can you not do it if you don't try? When you are elected as an actor director, you will not panic when you go to the audition in the future, and when you become an assistant director, look at the performances of the actors on the monitor, you can see the virtuous and think together, and see the unvirtuous and introspect." ”

"To perform this kind of thing, you have to work hard, and you have to think about it from different angles to see and understand, how can you perform well without much experience?" Gan Jing vigorously touted his performance views.

Li Zaoyu was a little confused: "My brain is relatively stupid, what if I can't understand it?"

Gan Jing smiled: "I can't realize it, you also have more skills in eating, and you can support yourself as an assistant director to help see the monitor or something." ”

Li Zaoyu was silent for a moment: "Okay, Brother Gan, I'm impressed." ”

"I see that you have no desires now, and you don't look for film appointments, you don't go to auditions, do you really want to be behind the scenes or what? Is the casting director's salary satisfied?" Gan Jing glanced at her.

"Alas, how do you know that I didn't look for it, I found it, people don't want it, I heard that I was the heroine of the loss-making movie, and when I heard that I was the heroine of the movie that stole the box office, I listened, well, I read the draft two days ago and said that I played a big name on the set. Li Zaoyu smiled bitterly.

Not to mention the nonsense of playing big names, just the first two points, the actor of the movie is also burdened, but people are just mixed up.

Gan Jing shook his head, there are a lot of dumping, tearing, and shady scenes in the circle, which is very boring.

"Let's do it first, anyway, when you're on set, you can help wherever you need help. "Gan Jing is too lazy to express his feelings about Li Zaoyu's experience, sometimes experiencing these things is not necessarily a bad thing," I thought about it, called Xia Yan and called her to come over, she was quite comfortable as an assistant director. ”

Li Zaoyu saw that he couldn't resign, so he humbly asked: "What kind of assistant director is comfortable?"

"It's okay, no more beeps. Gan Jing said succinctly.

Li Zaoyu said seriously: "I will definitely be able to do this." ”

"Okay, if you can do this, you will be better than 80% of the assistant directors, and for the rest, just pay more attention to checking and filling in the gaps. Gan Jing doesn't mind confusing the responsibilities of producer, scene reporter and assistant director, the left and right are on the crew, as long as things can be filmed smoothly.

Speaking of smoothness, then we have to urge Hong Kong Oriental Film and Television.

On the first night of his arrival in Hong Kong, Gan Jing refused the reception banquet, first screwed Li Zaoyu, then chatted with his family about the video, and finally made an appointment to meet with Hong Kong Oriental Film and Television producer Zeng Yonghua the next day.

So far, Gan Jing has been in contact with three producers, Qian Mei of Bai Shi, Hu Zhuo of Kangrun, and Zeng Yonghua of Dongfang.

The first two producers were hard-line but knowledgeable, but this one in Hong Kong is a bit odd, as he seems to shine with salted fish in just a few phone calls.

"Producer, you guys have to prepare their tricks here in advance. ”

"I have produced a film, and the filming in Tsim Sha Tsui is going to be used, so contact me in advance. ”

"Former producer, why didn't I find the work of your company's photographer?

Gan Jing put pressure on Zeng Yonghua as soon as he saw him, but he found that only when he said the last sentence did he react a little.

"Zeng Producer, if it's done here, I will immediately notify Zhang Zhonghui to join the group. ”

"Okay, Gan Dao, in three days, you let all of you people from the Blu-ray culture come, everything can be done before Emperor Hui comes in." ”
