463. Premiere of "Twenty Again" (Part I)
A group of people surrounded Manager Song and pinched people and fed first-aid medicine, but fortunately, Manager Song only fainted suddenly because of a serious psychological blow, which was not a serious illness, so he gradually woke up after five minutes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
A group of people breathed a sigh of relief, if Manager Song fell down again at this time, then Dongcheng International would really be leaderless.
After slowing down for a long time, Manager Song, who finally lifted a trace of spirit, leaned back on the chair, looked at the eyes of this group of people looking at him, and ordered with a trembling on his lips: "Cancel the reporter's celebration banquet, prepare another apology announcement, don't find a reason, and the tone and content of the apology should be sincere." ”
After speaking, Manager Song waved his hand and signaled that the group could go back to work.
"General manager, is there anything else to order?" asked a supervisor, worriedly, always feeling that this way of dealing with it was a bit too negative.
"Let's do it for the time being, by the way, after today's box office and tomorrow's zero point box office data of "The Great Sage of Love" come out, remember to send it to my mailbox, I'm a little tired, there is nothing special today, don't bother me. Manager Song replied tiredly.
"Got it, you have a good rest. Several supervisors could also see that Manager Song had indeed been hit hard enough today, so they didn't say anything more and left the conference room one after another.
"You can leave too, don't worry, I'm much better, no problem. Looking at the secretary who was still in place, Manager Song also invited him out of the conference room, and when Manager Song was the only one left in the conference room, his whole body seemed to fall apart and collapsed on the chair.
In fact, the first-day box office performance of "The Great Sage of Love" is not too bad, after all, there is the previous pre-sale box office, and after the final statistics in the evening, the first-day box office of "The Great Sage of Love" is 19.3 million yuan.
This achievement also made this movie sit on the box office champion of the day, but it is also the worst box office champion of the day in history, and the complaints about this movie on the Internet have not stopped, in the eyes of the audience, this is a bad film that surpasses "Wuji", rotten is not rotten in the plot, but the distribution company is too lacking in morality.
The topic of boycotting this film has exceeded 10 million heats, and it is almost a bad review under this topic, even if there are a few people who want to defend this movie or the actors in this movie, they are also scolded back by the angry masses.
Li Ergongzi, who was far away in Hong Kong, was in a good mood when he received a text message from Representative Liu in the morning, but after a busy day's entertainment, after returning to the company, he saw the report sent by General Manager Song of Dongcheng International in the mailbox, and the good mood of the day was destroyed in an instant.
The report sent by General Manager Song explained in detail, in addition to the original description of the development of the past few days, he did not forget to analyze the box office data of the first day of "The Great Sage of Love" yesterday and the box office data of the zero point field that had just been settled, and the results were really bad.
The box office of "The Great Sage of Love" on the first day was close to 20 million, which seems to be very good, but under the huge pre-sale box office, this result can only be said to be ordinary, especially the trend curve of the box office, from the early hours of yesterday morning to the end of this morning, it has been a downward trend, and the attendance rate has been bearish again and again.
This is also the reason why the first-day box office of 20 million was clearly able to reach 20 million, but in the end it only won 19.3 million, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of data were stunned, which was largely affected by word of mouth.
But this is not the most terrible, when there is no support of most of the pre-sale box office, the box office of the next day of zero point instantly came to a big dive, and the jump is not ordinary ruthless, the box office data of the first day of zero point is 4.7 million, and today's zero point field is only 710,000 box office.
If it is a normal and healthy box office of a movie, even if it does not rise, it will not drop so much, it is a total of four million less, it is obvious that the audience is boycotting this movie, everyone does not enter the cinema, and naturally, the box office of this movie will not be lost.
When Li Ergongzi saw this, he directly called the secretary in.
"Is there any news from Liu Wei, who went to the mainland to be in charge of Dongcheng International?"
"President, no. ”
"Heh, can you escape reality when the turtle shrinks its head, call him, immediately notify him to return to Hong Kong, and draw up a five-year cleaner contract for me, with a salary of one dollar per month, and ask him to sign it for me when Li Wei comes back. Li Ergongzi said calmly, but the content of his words was as cold as a knife.
No one can defeat the Li family's industry and still get out of the whole body, especially Li Wei's bad nature, let him work as a cleaner for five years for nothing, is to give him a profound lesson, as for the question of whether Li Wei will sign, Li Ergongzi is not worried, he is smart to sign, if he doesn't sign, Li Ergongzi doesn't need to pay attention to it, and someone will clean him up even worse.
The box office of "The Great Sage of Love" fell quite miserably the next day, yesterday it was the daily box office champion, but today it only received 3.1 million box office, and it didn't even enter the top five, which is simply staggering in the industry.
And the scary thing is that there are really a lot of audiences who are scheduled for the box office who did not show up, which undoubtedly confirms that the audience's resistance is not verbal, but really put into action.
Soon there were people who reacted to the box office dive of "The Great Sage of Love", and these people were the theater parties that had direct interests in this movie.
Previously, because of Dongcheng International's Jinyuan offensive, several theaters in the south defected, giving "The Great Sage of Love" a higher scheduling rate, but now the performance of "The Great Sage of Love" is too poor, and if these theaters continue to support it like this, it is estimated that it will not be enough to subsidize the Jinyuan circle that was collected privately before, and even lose a lot of money.
Therefore, it is imperative to adjust the film scheduling rate, and picking and choosing, everyone suddenly found that there is only one best answer to the movie that is most likely to make them a lot of money, that is, "Twenty Years Old Again" produced by Huayi and directed by Nie Wei.
So the day before the release of "Twenty Years Old", Huayi International received news from several theaters and was willing to give "Twenty Years Old Again" more shows.
And most of these scenes given to "Twenty Years Old Again" are even out of "The Great Sage of Love".
"Hahahaha, it's really happy, Nie Wei, you didn't hear those theater managers flattering me on the phone, it's a world of difference from before, this time it's really exciting, happy!" Wang Zhonglei laughed happily in Nie Wei's office.
He is now more happy in his heart, he was stumbled twice in a row before, and he didn't choke Wang Zhonglei enough, but fortunately, Nie Wei's partner fought back hard enough, and directly gave the other party a fatal blow, and now judging from the trend of "The Great Sage of Love", this movie is not a big hit, and it is impossible to even return to the original.
"I heard that they invested nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars. "When it comes to the box office of "The Great Sage of Love", Nie Wei also thought of the 'huge investment' of this movie, 100 million Hong Kong dollars, whether it is now or in the future, it is considered a blockbuster-level investment in the Chinese film industry.
"No, I've inquired, it's only more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and it's more than 70 million Chinese dollars, but even if it's more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, it's difficult for them to return to their original costs if they go on like this, and I think the mainland box office is only 40 million at most. Wang Zhonglei is obviously very interested in this movie, and even inquired about the amount of investment from others.
"Well, no more, haha. Nie Wei nodded in agreement, smiling very happily, the mainland box office does not exceed 40 million, so for a movie with an investment of more than 70 million, at least on the battlefield in the mainland, he has not made anything at all.
And it is foreseeable that because the box office reputation is not good, this film will definitely not be able to sell at a price in other cities, so it is destined to be a movie that will lose money.
Thinking that the boy saw that the money he invested was wasted, even if he was worth a lot of money, he must have been a little careful, thinking of this, Nie Wei couldn't help but steal fun, this time he could be regarded as a good lesson to the other party, in this circle, it is really not that you can have fun if you have money.
Soon it was the third day of the pre-sale box office for "Twenty Again" and the day of the film's premiere.
In addition to the invited guest stars and lucky fans, the most people who came to the scene that day were the reporter lineup, hundreds of reporters belonged to dozens of media, including almost all the famous media in Beijing, and everyone sent out were not small fish and shrimp, they were all their own masters.
In the on-site interview, the most asked is about the movie, everyone has already done their homework in this regard, so the answer is very handy, but just when the reporter's interview session was about to end, a reporter from a media suddenly raised a question, which caused an instant uproar at the entire new film press conference.
"Mr. Nie Wei, just two days ago, there was a movie called "The Great Sage of Love" was released, but on the first day of the film's release, it was attacked by countless bad reviews, and our newspaper learned from the oral statement of an employee of the film distribution company that these bad reviews seem to be related to you, and I don't know what your response is. ”
The reporters at the scene were in an uproar, and no one would have thought that someone would ask such a question at this time.
Although everyone vaguely knew in their hearts that the "Great Sage of Love" two days ago was a victim of the struggle between Nie Wei and a certain son, can this kind of thing be taken out and asked face to face, because even if he asked, Nie Wei would definitely not admit it, and on the other hand, he was still in danger of slander, after all, Nie Wei did too neatly here, and he didn't leave any handle at all.
However, since someone asked at the risk of being accused, everyone was also curious about how Nie Wei would answer.
Under everyone's gaze, Nie Wei moved the microphone in front of him for a while, adjusted it to a comfortable angle, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry, this reporter told a good story, but I don't think it has anything to do with me." ”
When the reporters in the audience heard this, their first reaction was 'Sure enough. ’
Just when everyone thought that this was the end of the game, the reporter rushed to speak again: "But your blog is the place where the most bad reviewers are concentrated, do you think it really has nothing to do with you?"
The reporter's aggressiveness made many people present see that something was wrong, this one didn't seem to be here for an interview at all, but like he was here to find fault, Wang Zhonglei, who was following the attendees, was ready to kick this person out at the moment, and Lin Yifei, who was sitting next to Nie Wei, looked at Nie Wei worriedly, for fear that Nie Wei would not be able to deal with it.
However, if you want to rely on these questions, you will be stumped by Nie Wei, so it can only be said that this reporter thinks too much.
"Our blog is a social networking platform, in addition to some sensitive issues on this platform, the emphasis is on speaking freely, including everyone here, I believe that many people behind the newspapers and magazines have also opened a certified public account in our blog, if according to what this reporter said, the voices of some users in the blog represent my thoughts, then all the articles published by the media every day are also counted as my thoughts? Speaking of which, I believe everyone understands what I mean, and this reporter, I cannot agree with your statement. ”
Nie Wei's words made the reporters present nod their heads, as a social platform, the blog only provides a place for communication, without crossing the line, naturally it can't care what ideas people publish, officially such an open communication platform, there are countless ideas colliding fiercely every day, which is the main reason why the blog can maintain its vitality.
The reporter's question was obviously taken for granted, and it was obvious that he wanted to put a basin on Nie Wei's head, but it was a pity that Nie Wei was a cunning person, and his answer was not leaky, leaving any handle for the other party at all.
Then Wang Zhonglei directly stopped the press conference, and did not give the reporter a chance to ask questions, and a group of reporters were quickly invited to the theater, ready to watch the upcoming movie "Twenty Years Old Again".
Holding the microphone, Nie Wei stood in front of the big screen and told everyone in the audience about the general content of the movie.
"This movie tells the fantasy story of a seventy-year-old grandmother who suddenly becomes a twenty-year-old girl, I hope you can find happiness in my movie, find moving, find good memories of the green years, and please think about the time when you will grow old in the future, there are many things I want to express in this movie, and I hope you can watch it carefully, and experience it seriously, thank you. ”
In a round of applause, Nie Wei completed his second premiere speech as a director, and as he returned to his seat, the lights on the scene dimmed and the big screen gradually lit up.
With the appearance of Huayi and China Film, the opening credits flashed, and the movie also began.
The first thing that caught the audience's eye was a group of teenagers playing basketball, accompanied by the fierce confrontation between the teenagers on the court, a girl's narration also sounded, and the content of the words also made everyone present feel very interesting.
