If a reporter or a melon-eating netizen is in Ji Ming's studio, he will definitely not believe all kinds of observations and comments about the cold winter of film and television outside, and even sneer at them and ignore them completely - it's really hot here.

Ji Ming Studio and Tiancheng Culture belong to a set of two brands, and there are not many staff. After the preparation and production of the musical "Mo" began, a group of people were recruited, but because the film and television industry itself is an industry with a relatively small organization, it is often project-driven.

After the official performance of the musical, in fact, the manpower is a little stretched, because the workload of theaters, ticketing websites, and media around the country has increased greatly, in addition, after "Silence" becomes a touring musical, it also needs to be normalized to do the maintenance work of actors, main creators, and behind-the-scenes staff, such as Fu Chengjie, who now has a lot of training and itinerary to be arranged for him by Tiancheng Culture, which is similar to signing an artist, although he is only engaged in "Silence" 's performance does not involve other brokerage work, he is going to go to the acupoint, and this matter will definitely not be in Tiancheng's hands.

Then wait until the movie is released on Thursday, and Tiancheng Culture will explode as a whole.

When the company phone is not stopped, if everyone has something to do, it has to be put aside. The official mailbox also has new emails coming in all the time, all kinds of cover letters from actors, interview letters from the media, delivery projects, appointments, scores and not, mixed together, the workload is huge, enough to make the head bigger.

Yang Ruyi, Lin Ran, and Tang Fan have become the triumvirate - yes, there are already such names in the market. Needless to say, Yang Ruyi, CEO, the number one, except for Ji Ming's personal intervention, she decides the company's affairs, Lin Ran is mainly responsible for contacting the career, scripts, works, endorsements, etc., she is responsible, and Tang Fan handles social activities, media public relations, public opinion observation, exposure control, etc.

The three of them are responsible for most of Ji Ming's affairs, as Ji Ming's water rises, of course, they also go with the market, becoming the three giants of Tiancheng, don't think it's a joke, it's really a giant, if you can convince one of them, the possibility of cooperating with Ji Ming will be greatly increased, not to mention the movie, let's talk about the musical, after "Mo" became popular, how many actors, performance companies, theaters, production teams, composers, and choreographers are looking forward to becoming the next cultural square, the next Fu Chengjie, the next Tong Xinyu......

Tang Fan is now back in Xitian, and his colleagues in the propaganda department have already called Brother Tang.

Sometimes it's a matter of choice.

Tang Fan rubbed his neck, looked at the time, and had half an hour to rest for a while: "Sister Yang, do you say that "Mo" can surpass "Immortal Descent" in the end?"

In fact, too many people are asking them about their internal box office estimates for movies.

The box office of 500 million yuan in two days on weekdays has given everyone too much reverie, and today's box office No. 1 "The Wandering Earth" also started with such a record? Of course, no one thinks that "Mo" can repeat the box office myth of "The Wandering Earth", but it is completely possible to think about it if it exceeds "The Immortal Descent".

Yang Ruyi pinched the root of his nose and was tired: "I guess it's no problem, even if it doesn't break one billion today and tomorrow, it's not much the same, according to the rhythm of art films, there should be some box office in the next week, 600 million in 7 days, it should be no problem." ”

"Dogeye estimates that it has reached 3 billion. Lin Ran added, their office, even Ji Ming's desk, are all in one space, but the per capita area is relatively large, 150 square meters, usually just them, plus half of Zhang Chen.

"The mechanics of that thing are based on commercial films. Tang Fan shook his head, paused, and suddenly laughed: "I told them that we didn't expect it ourselves, they didn't believe it, and said that we must know it in our hearts." Listen, tell the truth, and don't believe it. Even the boss didn't expect it, how did we expect it?"

"The boss didn't expect that he now has a basic disk of 1 billion+, which is higher than Wu Jin and Xu Zheng, right?"

"Definitely, if it is an art film, those two will also break the level of 100 million, haha. ”

1 billion +, this is the number estimated by many media for Ji Ming, and even some media have separated art films from commercial films, thinking that Ji Ming's appeal in commercial films is a little higher, at least 20+, but it is a bit shocking, so there are not many people who agree, everyone generally still thinks that Ji Ming erases the gap between the genres of art films and commercial films, of course, this kind of disregard for the appeal of the genre is also very terrifying- Xing Ye makes comedies, and big brothers make kung fu, but their other types of works may not be recognized by the market.

"It doesn't matter how much he is a billion, I think it's better to recruit some more people, otherwise I'll be tired to death." ”

"That's it. Yang Ruyi shook his head: "The boss is obviously not ready to go to the film project in the short term." ”

Lin Ran and Tang Fan glanced at each other, stood up resignedly, and went to get busy.

After all, at the end of the year, the red envelope is still very attractive - if "Mo" has 1.5 billion and Tiancheng has 50% of the equity, it will be 300 million in the account and more than 2 and a half million in gross profit. With the boss's handwriting, the amount of bonuses is still very worth thinking about, and it is not good to say, the first million annual salary since entering the industry is coming.

……

When the subordinates were looking forward to the year-end bonus, Ji Ming took the two assistants to run the theater. As the main cast and main star, Ji Ming is actually not very qualified, and he did not participate in many roadshows before the release, only a few stops. After the first round of the musical tour, between he went to London to prepare for the English version of the performance, there were about ten days, and he would go to London on the second Saturday of the release, and the time in between, of course, was left to the movie.

The first two days were in Beijing, Saturday and Sunday in Shanghai, and there were other big cities in the back.

Two shows a day, one before the screening and one after the screening, everyone was very enthusiastic. The questions before the screening are scattered, all of them are box office, awards, various comments, gossip and the like. The most concentrated is Ji Ming's marriage.

Reduced production = something.

Something = falling in love.

Already in love, it follows: something = marriage.

After the signs of Ji Ming's production reduction came out, he and Chu Qing were going to get married, and even the news of Fengzi's marriage was already all over the world. Especially after the fire of "Mo", after the serious topic is finished, there is only gossip left, and the few gossips on Ji Ming are his girlfriend.

The marketing account took great pains to help him plan his life - after the movie was released, he went to London to act in a musical until March, then returned to China to get married, and after getting married, he made a honeymoon, started the second round of tours and the first round of world tours in English, prepared for a new musical or new movie, and had a baby at the end of the year, and brought a baby, and it was not until the first half of the next year that it was possible to start a new project.

Maybe it's "The Wandering Earth 2"?

Isn't this connected? Reporters can ask Guo Fan and Wu Jin: "There is news that "The Wandering Earth 2" is already in preparation, and it will be officially launched in the first half of next year?

The two of them naturally want to deny it, because the sequel doesn't know where it is.

"Guo Fan denied the sequel to "The Wandering Earth", Ji Ming's new work is likely to be a brand-new movie" - this is not nonsense, playing with himself, and playing a whole set of news, and the high efficiency is amazing.

At that meeting, they were all thrown back to Ji Ming, which became a perfect closed loop.

"Are you getting married?"

"Is your girlfriend already happy?"

"Will there be a new moment in life next year?" - quite tactful.

"Is "The Wandering Earth 2" already in preparation?"

"Is the new movie still a literary film?"

Girlfriend's will not answer, life moment - every day is a new life moment duck, everyone work hard. "The Wandering Earth" directly denied that there is no timetable for the time being, and the new movie has not been confirmed, so I don't know what it looks like.

Very neat.

Relatively speaking, the post-screening meeting will be more focused.

When he entered the hall, in the dim light, it was easy to see many people's eyes sparkling, obviously, their eyes were moistened by tears - this is actually a beginning, when they get home, and then think about the plot, the more they think about it, the more terrible it is, the more uncomfortable they think about it, the more uncomfortable they are, the more uncomfortable they can't forget, and then they come to brush it again.

Heh, you're in control.

Of course, there are also those who have done their homework, or who have realized relatively quickly, and they asked in person, it is a girl in a black coat.

"I've watched musicals, and then I watched movies today, and I feel that musicals are a little more merciful than movies, and movies have no warmth at all, especially the last sentence of giving up treatment. If the musical is to make the imagination fulfill the last hope of the dancers, then the movie is actually a reality that cruelly kills the dancers' only support and support, why is it arranged like this?"

Look very carefully.

This is Ji Ming's question, he thought for a while: "First of all, thank you for your support, the ticket is not cheap, haha." ”

It's really not cheap, whether it's a ticket for a musical or a ticket for a meet-and-greet, it's expensive.

"As for the difference, it's actually natural in the creative process, in the process of writing and filming the film script, we want to show a more cruel thing, that is, whether it is abandoned or really deteriorated, the death that comes in, this physical disappearance, will take away everything in the realm of your soul, imagination, and spirit, no matter how brilliant and magnificent they are, and if they are gone, they are gone—even, the living do not know what they have ended, and this cruelty is powerful and worth showing.

And in musicals, the first repetition is not necessary, right? What the movie has already shown, there is no need to do it again. The second is that in the process of creation, especially the arrangement and choreography, everyone still thinks that such good music and dance are enough to comfort a dancer's soul, that is to say, when he leaves, although he can't do it in reality, there is such an Alice in Wonderland-"

Speaking of which, he laughed for a long time, and everyone reacted and laughed together, which made Director Alice laugh and faint, but it was only with the help of the translator that he understood this stalk.

She shrugged her shoulders and smiled helplessly.

“…… It's enough, having such an experience, it's enough, it's satisfying, it's relieved. I think each work is unrepeatable, because at that time, working with such a group of people, the content that was born was unique. So in my own opinion, the difference between musicals and movies is all too good, and it's all very good. ”

"No spoilers, everyone. Wen Yan added.

She said the last sentence, and there is a lot of discussion on the Internet about the ending of "Silence", but there are very few spoilers, extremely few, maybe the spoiler threshold is too low and too high - too low because, just one sentence, "Are the families sure to give up treatment? Then sign it." And too high is that you have to experience the cruelty of this sentence, you must only do it after watching the movie, you have to hear this sentence immediately after watching Yang Ming jump out of the amazing "Silent Lake", so that it can be like a thunderbolt in the sky, and it will be difficult to hold yourself for a long time.

The movie is different from the stage play, "Silent Lake" has a viewing angle on the stage, but in the movie, different angles, distances, and later stages, especially including many subtle expressions and local actions, are all visible at a glance.

The gap and contrast between the last line and the infinite imagination behind it are also incomparable.

The audience can feel it, so this kind of spoiler threshold that is too low and too high directly leads to the vast majority of people not spoiling - but emphasizing cow beep.

"I went to watch "Silence", and the whole film was very good and not boring. But what really made me lie in the groove three times in a row was the final treatment, the more I thought about it, the more I lay down, the lights were on, and I sat there stunned and continued to lie in the groove......! ! it!!"

"Ji Ming is still a cow, the movie is very beautiful, all kinds of beauty, the lens is beautiful, the light is beautiful, the dance is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and the emotions are beautiful - but after the last second of acting, all this beauty has become a sharp knife, turned into a skeleton, and it will come to your tears. ”

"Ahhh ”

"Although it is not particularly easy after reading it, there is a sense of satisfaction, I want to be very hungry, there is a particularly hard steamed bun for you, you may not be able to say that it is delicious, but after eating, the sense of happiness and satiety will still be there, and it will be longer and longer. ”

"Sure enough, it's still an art film, and I don't want people to watch it easily, but, cow beep. ”

"This year's most worthwhile movie ticket is more satisfying than "The Wandering Earth", and I am really suitable for this type of film. ”

"With Ji Ming here, it's really a blessing for us lovers of literary films, thank you. ”

This situation is very interesting, the media and those who have watched the movie are talking about the last cow beep, but not to mention how the cow beep method is, which makes everyone very itchy, although many people don't want to be abused, but if you have a boyfriend and girlfriend, go to see it together, and then take care of each other, it's also very good.

When I came out of the cinema, it was already close to half past ten, and by this time, the box office figures were almost set, and there were very few left. Although Saturday night was probably the highest box office day of the week, there were not many of them.

"800 million. ”

"300 million today?" Ji Ming asked.

Zhang Chen nodded: "At 10:18, the 300 million that broke in a single day, today's film schedule has reached 44, and the gold field is even higher, 51%, more than half." The box office accounted for 79%, and the main "Manslaughter" had a box office of more than 50 million. Next year's pre-rehearsal will be 45%, tsk. ”

In the end, I couldn't help but smack my tongue.

Ji Ming can't understand this trend at all now, according to the trend of art films, it stands to reason that the audience of literary films has been given over in the first two days, think about "The Last Night on Earth" at that time, it was so uproarious, and it deceived more than 100 million, and "Mo" was already 500 million in the first two days. Even if the third day is Saturday, it shouldn't be higher, it is already difficult to have 200 million, but it turned out to be 300 million - many people are estimated to be surprised.

Completely according to the trajectory of commercial films, it will definitely not work.

Therefore, now even Ji Ming can't predict it, mixed with his appeal, the reputation of the movie, the herd psychology of the crowd, and even in a sense, it has become a kind of social check-in behavior and limited couple activities...... How will the box office go, no matter how strong the prediction agency is, it will be powerless.

"More than 100 million euros?"

"Yes, just over 100 million euros today. Alice has been sitting in Ji Ming's car, and the translator gave her a real-time translation, but the number of 100 million is still too amazing, she checked it twice in a row, and the second time was Ji Ming replied to her, in Italian, and replied to her preparedly.

Alice opened her mouth: "100 million euros in three days of release?"

"This is China, and there is no market in Europe of this scale except the United States. Ji Ming smiled.

"Even if you count the entire European market together, it is difficult to achieve such results. ”

"Haha," Ji Ming nodded: "Actually, it's the same, China rarely has such results, for a non-commercial film." The last one, it was my "Meet the Land of the Gods", you know, 200 million euros. ”

"Do you have such results in each of your films?"

"So far, 100 million euros at the box office is the lowest," Ji Ming thought thoughtfully: "But not necessarily, if it continues to reap the box office, maybe the last 200 million euros is the lowest - I still have 500 million euros and 700 million euros of movies." ”

Alice clearly wanted to swear.

Why is she the only one who wants to swear, there are too many people who want to scold, what the hell, this box office, brushing, right? People are randomly brushing a few ghost halls when they are stuck in 9, you are good, start from scratch.

At the end of Saturday, the total box office was 800 million - everyone exclaimed that one billion was in sight.

At the end of Sunday, 1.05 billion - the first four days officially exceeded 1 billion, and the public forecast has been completely put above 2 billion. Judging from the new films, there are very few who have the power to fight, Feng Xiaocang's "Only Yun Knows", it is estimated that it is not an opponent, Star Wars has not been strong in China, and then it will be "Love" at the end of the month, this year's three kings of fortune, Wu Jin, Xu Zheng and Ji Ming. Xu Zheng still has combat power, but at that time, "Mo" has entered the fourth week, and it is not a schedule at all.

It is equivalent to its entire life cycle, and there is no one enemy.

Sure enough, entering the second week, although the box office plunged on Monday, it still maintained a single-day level of more than 100 million, and it also fell slightly on Tuesday...... By Thursday evening, the record of 1.55 billion in "Falling to Immortals" was easily and casually broken - the official Weibo of the movie Falling to Immortals specially posted congratulations.

"Keep rushing, little black dog. ”

With a picture, the little black dog is galloping on the runway, and there is a sign on the side of the road - 1.55 billion.

Domestic fans have recently liked to give nicknames for movies and characters, "The Wandering Earth" is a small wrecking ball, "Nezha" is Zha, lotus root cake, and when it comes to "Mo", it becomes a little black dog - of course, it is to disassemble the word "Mo", become a black dog, and then become a black dog, and add a kid to show cuteness.

The screen is full of little black dogs, which is really weird.

1.55 billion, which is not a reason for "Silence" to stop at all, enters Friday, a new weekend interval - four new films are on the market.

The end of "Ip Man", Feng Xiaocang's new work "Only Yun Knows", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", and "Half a Comedy" starring Ren Suxi, a comedy seedling, produced by Twist.

"Silence", which entered the 9th day of its release, still ranked first with 24% of the films, and its combat power was unparalleled. "Ip Man" ranked second, 19%, and the old film "Manslaughter" was third, followed by Feng Xiaocang, Star Wars, and Ren Suxi.

The box office on this day was highly anticipated.

If "Silence" still maintains its combat power, and under the encirclement and suppression of new films, it will break 100 million, or even higher, it means that its box office imagination will once again exceed everyone's expectations. If it is defeated, then the prediction of 2 billion is basically set - although it is still amazing, it is not shocking, after all, everyone has accepted it.

"Mo" is actually lucky, if it was two years ago, such a situation would inevitably attack in groups, and it would stink for you if it wasn't dark, but today everyone is more cautious and doesn't dare to mess around, including Feng Xiaocang, who is so troublesome, and now he has to pick up his tail.

In fact, by half past five in the afternoon, the situation was already very clear, because the pre-order box office in the evening was recorded, and the gap that should come out came out at this time.

The box office success of "Silence" is a testament to the wealth of experience of the theater manager.

When it breaks 70 million, the second "Ip Man" will break 40 million - these 40 million miles actually have pre-sale results as a new film.

Until the dust settles on this day, the total box office of "Silence" is 1.73 billion, 140 million in a single day, and the second "Ip Man" is only 63 million, and the rest of the new films are even more miserable. Feng Xiaocang's new work, which is also an art film, even crossed the 10 million line very thrillingly in a single day, almost less than 10 million.

"The dominance of "Mo" over the entire market has not yet dissipated," the movie box office Jun Chen Chen posted: "Although the series of strong films "Ip Man" is old, it still makes people sigh and die at the wrong time. Director Feng's "Fanghua" was once a great success, but this "Only Yun Knows", the audience obviously didn't buy it. The single-day almost less than 10 million yuan was also a record for the lowest first-day box office since the Fung New Year. In addition, Star Wars and "Half a Comedy" also failed to break through. However, "Manslaughter", which has been released for more than a week, has retained its place with a good reputation, with 30 million in a single day, ranking third.

The box office of "Silence" has exceeded 1.7 billion so far, and it is foreseeable that its film schedule on Saturday and Sunday will not fall but rise, and it is a high probability that it will harvest more than 300 million in two days. This means that by the end of the second week, the box office of "Mo" will exceed 2 billion - just two days slower than this year's phenomenal animated film "Nezha". It is already an unimaginable question of how far it can go in the end, just like before "Immortals", no one could have imagined that art films could reach a box office of 1.5 billion, and before "Mo", no one could have imagined that art films of 2 billion, or even 3 billion, would come so quickly and so unexpectedly, breaking everyone's predictions, no matter how bold the predictions, they can't compare to reality. ”

When this box office trend became a media phenomenon, it in turn fed back the box office of the movie - everyone had to see what was so good about such an incredible movie. And those who have already seen it are also complacent about their own vision, and they will inevitably support a wave of support.

Ji Ming landed in London, and after a day of rest, the second weekend of "Mo" was over.

2.1 billion!

It broke 200 million on Saturday and 170 million on Sunday, raising the total box office to 2.1 billion.

So much so that a professor at Beijing University exclaimed in an article that the aesthetics of Chinese film fans have changed overnight - of course, at the end of the article, he himself joked: "Of course, I know very well that this phenomenon may only appear in Ji Ming's films, but there is a Ji Ming, can't there be a second one? The ceiling of the market is already unreachable, and the space left is so huge, film practitioners, do they continue to underestimate the aesthetic standards of our audiences?" Do we still stubbornly believe that our audience will only like those vulgar plots and superficial visual effects? The success of "Silence" proves that now is not the cold winter of film and television, but the moment of transformation, and whoever can take the lead in completing the transformation will be able to grasp the key to the market. ”

"Nezha" continues to be compared, and "Nezha" broke 300 million on Saturday and Sunday the next week, which is far more amazing than "Mo".

But ""Mo" has no object to compare with similar works, so that it has to be compared with a god film like "Nezha", which is an extreme affirmation in itself, and it is also 11 days, and the box office is only 400 million, which is completely enough to show the extreme success of "Mo", it finally broke 3 billion, or even 3.5 billion, which is already a high probability event. ”

After waking up, Ji Ming saw the poster of Yi Qinggong - even "Mo" himself recognized the name of the little black dog, a little black dog climbed the mountain to an altitude of 2.1 billion, and the following were 20 and 19 ......

He smiled, changed into a practice suit, put on a big sweater outside, and then put on a black down jacket, carrying his drinking glass and soft-soled shoes - he was going to the Morris Theater for the final rehearsal of the English version of "Mo".

On Christmas Eve, the English version of "Silence" will be staged in the West End.
