Chapter 178: The Man Who Propped Up the Box Office

In a blink of an eye, I came to the end of September, followed Xu Yinghua to run the whole country, build momentum for the upcoming Blizzard, and returned to the capital, and tomorrow will be the premiere.

"Are you nervous?" Ding Cheng looked at Xu Yinghua and quipped, "The eldest girl will go to the sedan chair for a while?"

"Bullshit!" Xu Yinghua scolded: "Lao Tzu has made three movies, okay?"

Seeing Ding Cheng's face full of doubts, he said hesitantly: "It's just that no one has seen it!"

Everyone laughed, Liu Yingjian was all there, and after the run-in of the shadow chasing the murderer, a fixed team has been formed, and this is the second work.

"After all, it's a movie, it's not the same as a TV series. Xu Yinghua took a sip of wine and sighed: "Outsiders don't know the doorway, they think they are shooting at the camera, but in fact, the interlacing is like a mountain!"

"Compressing dozens or hundreds of hours of plot into 100 minutes, it has to be beautiful and logical, it's ......"

Ding Cheng smiled and said nothing, if it is not difficult, why is the movie called a work of art that will last for centuries?

Any student of the film academy can casually name more than a dozen master-level works, no matter what genre, no matter what nationality, shocking art knows no borders.

Liu Yingjian patted Xu Yinghua on the shoulder and said with confidence: "Don't worry, I dare to use my head to guarantee that our box office will not be bad!"

Others also patted their chests, Xu Yinghua looked at Ding Cheng and asked seriously, "What do you think?"

Ding Cheng showed a bright smile and said lightly: "Have you ever seen me make a bad movie?"

Xu Yinghua was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and said with a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Joking aside, Ding Cheng still analyzed: "With a total investment of 30 million, according to the current market, there is not much pressure to return to the cost." ”

"In addition, it is a key project of the company's operation, and Sister Hua is also working hard to promote and cooperate with the light to promote and publish, which is much better than our sniper phone booth in the same period last year!"

"I love to hear that. Xu Yinghua laughed and said, "Do you know why you chose the same schedule?"

"It's just for your blessing!"

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Ding Cheng is speechless, just dip it, it's all his own work, it doesn't matter.

Last year, more than 300 million sniper phone booths were made, and they also took the lead by themselves, and this time both the publicity and the lineup are much better, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Xu Yinghua looked at Ding Cheng and didn't say a word.

If this time Blizzard is really going to be as box office as a sniper phone booth, it means ......

Ding Cheng is definitely a box office actor who can take the lead alone!

Starting from the Golden Horse actor of bullfighting, then the sniper phone booth with less than 20 million, and then the rescue of Mr. Wu with 800 million, Blizzard is coming......

Every movie either wins an award or is a box office hit, which is no longer a matter of simple acting skills.

Twenty-seven years old, double actor, participated in the box office of more than 5 billion!

Xu Wenzheng, Li Chengjie, Guan Hu, Ding Sheng......

Each of them is a hot director, and every cooperation is full of praise, and the good reputation has spread throughout the circle.

If it weren't for this kid picking the script,

I can't finish the work even if I'm tired!

The most awesome thing is to take Cheng Daoming's big boat, which is the chairman of the Film Association, and the deputy minister-level treatment.

Good fellow, as long as you don't die, your future is brighter than a diamond.

patted his conscience and said that the most proud thing in his life is:

Meet Ding Cheng!

Finally arrived at the zero o'clock field, the old rules, took two girls to sneak into the theater with makeup.

The seats were full, and as the movie began, the whole atmosphere was mobilized, the plot continued to advance, and discussions sounded around him from time to time.

"Ding Cheng is really acting like something, it's amazing!"

"Nonsense, people are double actors, and they can compete with Liu Tianwang. ”

"Although it is not as long as Xiao Xianrou, I have nothing to say about my acting skills, and I am a fan of the old lady!"

"This is a good actor!"

Su Yao listened to the discussion of the people next to her and showed a relieved smile, no matter what, Ding Cheng's acting skills did not drop.

As a personal assistant, of course, I hope that every work will be a box office hit, but the most concerned is Ding Cheng's acting skills, is there any breakthrough?

Did it catch the audience's eyes?

Can it resonate more?

The work is not only watched by the audience, many directors and investors are studying, especially the director, every role comes out, and you can see the possibility of an actor's future.

This is also Ding Cheng's cleverness.

will never restrict the way of playing, both decent and villains dare to act, especially villains, many people even think they are more brilliant.

Of course, the old cadres prefer logical scripts, the more complex the characters' hearts, the more challenging they are, whether it is a sniper phone booth or the current Blizzard is coming, it is a small cost, and it all depends on the plot and acting skills to be small and big.

……

Netizens flickered: Blizzard is definitely not a simple suspense film, especially Ding Cheng's acting skills, which exploded as always.

There are two designs that impress me: one is the model worker, whose face is shaking constantly, effectively conveying a sense of suffocation of overexcitement.

The other is the whole film that keeps pulling the leather jacket, this small detail really looks too much like my dad in his 30s in the 90s.

……

Netizen Baibai: This film is a rare domestic structure film, which seems to be talking about murder suspicion, but it is actually about the dream of the times.

The heavy rain from beginning to end represents that era, suggesting that the protagonist cannot get out of the small county town in the haze, nor can he see the real world outside the factory.

In such an elegy of the times, the director did not use the literati's God perspective to remember the past, nor did he have a hypocritical underlying care, which is really commendable.

……

Netizen Lalong Zaitian: Ding Cheng, a real actor, can only show his charm in front of the camera on the stage.

Although his appearance is not handsome, as long as the spotlight shines on him, the whole person will immediately shine, and his powerful aura will crush the audience.

Especially in that tracking scene, the criminal, Yu Guowei's master and apprentice, the three of them climbed, shuttled, and chased in the steelmaking workshop with a huge steel frame structure.

The sound of raindrops, the dense footsteps, the whistle of the small train in the factory, and the rumbling of the workshop production. Against the backdrop of emptiness, the lives of three people seemed so small.

This situation and this scene are also a profile of Yu Guowei's life, only he cares about what he cares about, and what he cherishes only he cares about in his heart.

In the face of the times, he is just a weakling. Whether he was single or later became a laid-off worker, he was powerless to change. Only tenaciously, almost paranoid tracking the clues of the murder can I feel like a person!

……

Netizen movie fans: Many people may classify this movie as a crime genre and are obsessed with the pursuit of the real murderer, but in fact, I prefer to classify it as a realistic movie, because it records the dark time of an era and accurately grasps the survival anxiety of the Chinese people in the 90s.

Such as the black humor of "The Piano of Steel" ...... the foggy sorrow of "A Tale of Twenty-Four Cities...... And the gloomy, sad, humid atmosphere of "Blizzard is Coming" fills every corner.

Some people say that the director deliberately imitates the memories of murder?

If "Memories of Murder" depicts the struggle between individuals and institutions in South Korea in the 80s, then "Blizzard is Coming" reflects the anxiety of the people brought about by the reform and opening up in the 90s, hitting the collective pain points of all parents.

If "Village Opera" is a heavy reflection on collectivism and individual demands in the 70s, then the dilemma of collective survival in the 90s shown in "Blizzard is Coming" is more like a besieged city.

The cage of the system strangles every Chinese person at the bottom, and there is nowhere to escape inside and outside the system.

……

Netizens chattered crookedly: Ding Cheng is worthy of being a double actor, and a few scenes are enough to prove his strength, such as accepting the award on stage and giving an acceptance speech, that kind of little pride, the vanity of a little person.

Ten years later, when I was released from prison to apply for a new ID card, the timidity of disillusioning my dreams and the oppression of my ten-year prison life were all written on my face......

Only these few micro-expressions show the depth of his acting skills, constantly lighting cigarettes, smoking silently, thinking, I have to say that he really has a very unique temperament, giving a movie character fresh life.

……

Netizens are waiting for you every day: Yu Guowei held up the whole film in the last 20 minutes after he was released from prison, and the most profound shot was when Yu took out his ID card while waiting for the bus, but he couldn't see his name clearly.

The first reaction was: Could it be that the prescription of my glasses has deepened again? Only then did I realize that Yu Guowei was just a superfluous person abandoned by the times, and his name was naturally not important.

The second is the scene of the factory explosion, like a blizzard, cold and unforgiving. The camera swept over the laid-off workers, and the group portraits in the lens were expressionless and had no place to go.

Thanks to the director for remembering such a group of people, there is no big evil, there is a little cleverness, and there is also an upward heart, working hard, and loving family. I was laid off and unemployed, lost my job, and lost my former self.

……

The box office on the first day was 35 million,

Douban 7.8 points!

Everyone is angry, and when they return to their roots, it depends on how much they can earn?

The next day forty million,

On the third day five four-million,

On the fourth day thirty-eight million,

Day 5 41 million......

Until the release of several blockbusters on the National Day, Blizzard will have a box office of more than 300 million, and with fewer and fewer films, it will finally lock in 350 million!

Up to 8 times the ROI!
