Chapter 271: The Summer Season Is Over!(Second Update!)
"The results of the summer file war are about to be announced, and there is only a 10 million box office gap between "Shocking Demon Thieves" and "Red Cliff"!"
"Overtaking is just around the corner, and in a week, "Shocking Demon Thieves" will be able to regain the champion of the summer file!"
"The first domestic box office movie with a box office of 300 million, who can win this award!"
"Tang An will once again win the summer box office championship and achieve an unprecedented four-in-a-row hegemony!"
......
In August, the summer vacation is basically coming to an end.
For more than half a month, the movie itself has no need to be fried, the key is when "Shocking Demon Thieves" will overtake, and who will break through 300 million first.
Since Huayi has relaxed its publicity, these two films and another new film "Ten Perfect" are now on the propaganda front.
Moreover, the single-day box office of "Ten Perfect" is catching up with "Red Cliff", and there is only a gap of more than 200,000 between the two sides.
On August 5th, Tang An and his entourage came to Changsha to record a program on Shonan TV.
It's not that Tang An has never been on a variety show of the type of "Quick Book".
This is a temporary special, a special talk show, it won't be too noisy, and there are only two hosts: He Yi and Wang Han.
As soon as I got off the plane, I got into the car of Shonan TV and took a break in the car.
Tang An didn't squint long before he was woken up by a burst of laughter.
Rubbing his swollen heads, he saw a few of them talking to the newspaper.
"Why, you're not tired, are you? ”
"Director Tang is sorry to wake you up. ”
"Look at what, show me. ”
grabbed a newspaper casually and praised it throughout, from Tang An, the director, to Deng Kai, a student who has not yet graduated, it was a lot of praise.
Liu Ye and Deng Chao have become the leaders of the younger generation of actors in the mainland, this is similar, there are indeed few peers who can stabilize them, and Chen Kun's "Painted Skin" has not yet been released.
Deng Kai became the most potential newcomer of the year.
Tang Yan has also become a popular little flower.
Tang An put down the newspaper and smiled at them, "Are you all happy?"
None of the four spoke, and the smile on their faces already gave the answer.
Although most of the light of the movie was taken up by Tang An, the benefits brought to them by the first domestic film of 300 million yuan were amazing.
During this time, the popularity of the four of them is no less than that of any long-established A-list star.
"Be happy for a while, in a month these voices will disappear, and then the media will blow someone else. ”
The four of them glanced at each other, not knowing why Tang An suddenly poured cold water on them.
Tang An looked at them and said solemnly, "We have worked together anyway, I still want to remind you that as an actor, you must always look forward." ”
"The leader of the new generation of actors, both of you are 30 years old, this title was still a little useful to you three years ago, do you still want to compare with people like Deng Kai who just graduated?"
...
Tang An is not related to them, nor is he his own actor, so he is not too verbose.
The eldest Liu Ye felt a pang in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he had heard the praise of him three or four years ago, and now he was still complacent about the praise of the media.
"Director Tang is right, we are a little too composed. Deng Chao said suddenly.
Now he has a 200 million blockbuster male number two, a male number one who is about to 300 million box office blockbusters, and the next goal should be a big production actor and prove himself with a high-box office movie!
And now that major companies have begun to use mainland actors, it is a good opportunity to rise.
After talking about the conversation, the car drove to the Shonan TV station on Trinity Avenue.
The shape of each building is different, some are rustic, some are majestic, and the H-shaped building of Shonandai is average.
The director of the show, Liu Wei, and the two hosts have rushed downstairs to wait after getting the news.
"Oh, hello Director Tang. ”
"Hello Deng Chao, Liu Ye, and Tang Yan. ”
He Yu greeted him with an oops.
"Hello Director Liu. ”
"Hello He Yu and Wang Han. ”
Tang An shook hands one by one, and he suddenly found that he didn't seem to be young, these two people were 6 years older than him, especially one who looked younger than Deng Kai.
"It's the first time I've come to our Shonandai, and I'm bothering you. ”
"Director Tang said this, we have been looking forward to you coming, and some viewers in the previous episodes of the show asked when they would invite Director Tang and your crew. ”
The group walked inside and came to the reception room.
Tang An asked several of them to touch up their makeup, and they always had to clean up in front of the camera, unlike him, their faces didn't need to be washed on camera.
By the way, waiting for the next question to be asked, Tang An wanted to sleep a little.
"When did our show start recording, I want to squint for a while if I have time, I've been too sleepy lately. ”
He Yu thought for a while and said, "Director Tang, if you don't do this, we will arrange for two people to wash your face, hair, and massage you, and you can wash while sleeping, just so that you can relax." ”
Hair washing, massage...
This is the rhythm of the great sword.
Well, Tang An thought wrongly, it was just a simple shampoo and massage, but the two girls were very good-looking, and their figures were also good, especially their hands were very tender, and they were comfortable to press on their heads.
After nearly an hour of confusion, Tang An was woken up.
Blow dry their hair back backstage, a few of them have finished their makeup and are waiting.
"Whew! ”
He Yan saw him coming over and smiled, "Director Tang, it's almost time, let's start, shall we?"
"Let's get started, don't make the audience wait. ”
Tang An nodded, and waited behind with a few of them, waiting for He Yi to call out his name before he appeared.
"Hello everyone. ”
"Wow......"
Bang Bang ......
Tang An and them waved at the audience and sat down in their chairs.
When the applause stopped a little, He Yu said again.
"Today is Director Tang's first time coming to our show, let us welcome him again with warm applause, welcome the crew of "Shocking Demon Thieves", okay!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Wang Han spoke, "Director Tang, this is the fifth movie, it's rare to come to our show, you see how enthusiastic the audience's response is." ”
"I'm very happy to be able to participate in our show this time, I used to come in a hurry, after all, I have to run through all cities across the country, and I really don't have time to stay......"
After some polite words, we started talking about the movie.
"Director Tang, it's this "Shocking Demon Thieves", many viewers think it's the most exciting one of your movies, the plot and special effects are very good. ”
Tang An raised the microphone and said with a slight smile, "Actually, the type of each movie is different, you are like a horror movie, either it is a bloody scene or the atmosphere is very tense, a spy war movie must first create a depressing atmosphere, and the biggest attraction of this magic movie is, of course, the magic tricks in the film." ”
"The plot was also controlled by me to happen in just a few days, the suspense was one after another, and there was no room for breathing at all. ”
"In that case, should we remind viewers with asthma and other conditions that it is better not to watch it? He Yu answered.
"Then you're dismantling Director Tang's platform, it's too much!" Wang Han then said pretending to be uneven.
Hahaha......
Watching the two bickering there, the audience was still quite happy.
Tang An smiled and said, "This is just an analogy, so that the audience's attention can be maintained at a high level of concentration throughout the whole process." ”
"Wasn't there a lot of news before, but there were some magicians who debunked the magic tricks in Director Tang's movie, just like the role played by Mr. Wu Gang in the movie, so what do you think of these people?"
"It's true that most of the magic is fake, but let's think about it, is the magic really set out to deceive the audience?"
Actually, magic just wants to make you smile, and magicians care about seeing your surprised expressions, screams, and heartfelt applause, which are their motivation and achievements. ”
"For this, they have to keep innovating, practicing thousands of times for a simple action, just to make you laugh, such a kind act, debunking it, what do you get in exchange?"
"As the movie says at the end, you are jealous of other people's talents, and you try to prove yourself by demolishing others, you always think that you are one step ahead, but in fact, you are two steps slower, and you will always follow others!"
Everything went according to the established process, and there were no too sharp questions, at most, just ask them a few emotional problems.
In the end, of course, Deng Chao had to perform a few more poker tricks, anyway, he had to perform everywhere he went, and his techniques became more and more proficient.
After having a meal with the program team, Tang An took the crew to the next movie theater to continue the roadshow.
All the way to the east, and then to the south, several provincial capitals in the central part of the country have been run, and another week has passed.
In the past four weeks, "Amazing Demon Thieves" fell by more than 50% for the first time, only getting 26 million box office.
It was released for 25 days and had a total box office of 282 million
And "Red Cliff" won 14 million in the fifth week, was released for 32 days, and the total box office was also 282 million!
There was a draw, and on August 11th, the two films were miraculously tied.
If the numbers are more accurate, "Red Cliff" still has a lead of more than 200,000.
But the media doesn't care so much, if it's flat, it's flat, "Red Cliff" is ahead for nearly a month, and if "Shocking Demon Thieves" doesn't overtake them, they will be impatient.
""The Shocking Demon Thieves" came from behind, and the total box office has reached 282 million in 25 days of release, tying the annual box office record created by "Red Cliff"!"
""Red Cliff", which was one month ahead, finally fell behind, and the summer box office champion changed hands!"
"The summer file war that lasts for a month will eventually come to an end, and the one who runs first may not win, and the one who runs far is the final winner!"
......
China Film Group, Han Sanping was a little distracted with the box office data.
Although it is a matter of time before it is overtaken by "Shocking Demon Thieves", it is still a little stunned at this time.
After painstakingly preparing blockbusters for three or four years, uniting more than 10 film and television companies in China, Hong Kong and Japan, finding top director Wu Yusen, and more than a dozen stars starring in a historical war blockbuster, I really lost to a new theme movie with a cast that is less than half and the investment is far inferior.
"There are still 3 weeks, no matter what, the box office must exceed 300 million within three weeks, and it can't be delayed until the end of the summer vacation!" Han Sanping instructed the two directors of the distribution department and the publicity department.
......
In terms of Chengtian, every day passes, every time "Shocking Demon Thieves" takes a step, Wu Bo's mood will be a little worse.
After being suppressed for so long, it finally broke out today, and the heads of several departments were scolded one by one at the morning meeting.
"If "Red Cliff" can't pass 300 million, get out of here!"
"Smack!"
He slapped the table hard and left the conference room in a rage.
Back in the office, the front desk knocked on the door again.
Wu Bo looked at her with a calm face and an unkind expression, "What's the matter?"
The girl at the front desk heard the roar of the conference room just from afar, and the last heavy door slamming sound was heard clearly, and she was also nervous.
"Wu... Wu Dong, Huayi Wang Dong sent someone to send an invitation letter. ”
"What invitation?"
Wu Bo took it puzzled, and just wanted to take it apart.
The girl at the front desk immediately said, "Then Wu Dong, I'll go down first." ”
Wu Bo let out an "um" and opened the invitation.
At first glance, the face that had been softened instantly turned blue and red.
"Bang!"
"Smack!"
Poor table, innocently hit the phone brother, fortunately it was solid wood and was not smashed.
The box office broke 300 million celebration banquet, Wang Zhongjun actually sent him an invitation to the celebration banquet of "Shocking Demon Thieves" so early, on August 26.
What hubris!
"When the time comes, there will be less than 300 million, I don't think you can afford to lose this face!"
Wu Bo's face was swollen and red, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the invitation in front of him.
At this time, the girl at the front desk who had just brought the door outside the door listened to the movement inside, and patted her murderous mouth in shock, causing waves to attract the attention of nearby male employees.
......
The Berner conference room is where the middle and senior management of the company gather.
Let's talk a little bit about a few movies in the summer file, and then let's get down to business.
They didn't invest in "Red Cliff", they were just responsible for the distribution, anyway, there is no problem with more than 300 million now.
"The schedules of the two movies "Keep Talking" and "Painted Skin" will come according to what we discussed the day before yesterday, and the publicity department can start to prepare, and notify Chen Musheng and Wu Ershan to gather actors and actresses to be ready to cooperate with the publicity at any time!"
......
The summer file is coming to an end, and on August 18th, in the past week, "Shocking Demon Thieves" once again won 13 million box office.
The total box office was 295 million in 32 days after its release.
"Red Cliff" got 7 million box office this week, and the single-day box office fell below the million mark for the first time, and the total box office came to 288 million
Another week later, on August 25, "Shocking Demon Thieves" got 6 million in 7 days, and the single-day box office fell below the million mark for the first time.
On the 39th day of its release, the total box office successfully exceeded the 300 million mark, becoming the first Chinese film with a box office of 300 million!
And "Red Cliff" only got 4 million box office this week, with a total box office of 292 million, and is still slowly moving towards the goal of 300 million.
However, it is impossible to reach the target by the end of the month.
The summer file is now over, and there is only one "The Incredible Hulk" that has just been released and a little box office.
"Shocking Demon Thieves", Hua Yi, and Tang An became the biggest winners!
