The small-scale screening method of "Painted Skin" was very 'cautious', and 68 theaters were selected, winning $1.68 million in the first weekend, and the highest for a single theater was $30,000...

Under the influence of high word-of-mouth, the screening scale of "Painted Skin" was expanded to 500 in the second week - try to choose theaters close to the Chinese area, and then, "Painted Skin" lived up to expectations and swiped 4.86 million US dollars again, ranking in the top ten of the Danzhou North American box office list...;

In the third week, the screening scale of "Painted Skin" expanded to 2,000 stores again, and it won $10.21 million at the box office in a single week...

The summit was ready to go for a long line of screenings at the beginning...

For long-term screenings, the peak share ratio may only be 45 percent, but the cumulative box office can break at least 60 million US dollars, which is enough to make up for that publicity expense.

TV copyrights, network copyrights and peripherals are net earnings!

Zhang Junsheng also paid attention to the North American results of "The King of Kung Fu", and lost interest when it didn't reach $8 million in the first weekend.

A movie with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, the box office in the first weekend did not reach 20 million, and it can basically be concluded that it failed!

……

Beijing, Dongyang Media, Office.

The Huang brothers and a group of executives were there, and the brothers brushed their faces calmly, and there was a document in front of them, which was a detailed statistics of the box office of the National Day stalls.

At the top is a line of bold typewriting in bold font, and Chi Guoguo wrote: ""Painted Skin" is amazing on the National Day, released for ten days, with a box office of 184 million!"

After being silent for several minutes, Huang Zhonglei spoke: "They must have used means!"

“… I've heard that they control a lot of the Golden Stadium by locking the tickets through the ticketing agency!"

"They also privately signed a rebate contract with the theater chain, and this contract will be implemented from October 2nd, which is clearly aimed at "The King of Kung Fu"!"

"I originally wanted to steal the box office, and I said hello to a few theaters that I knew before, but they promised to sell us when they turned their heads!"

The executives discussed and summed up the lessons learned...

It's strange that no one said that the quality of the movie itself is not good!

That's right, in the eyes of their gang, what is the quality of the movie, and it is the truth that it can be sold for money!

"Why don't we report it?"

Huang Zhongjun shook his head directly: "Who will it report to? Will the Film Bureau take care of it?

“… Then let him commit the crime?"

"What kind of crime is this? People spend their own money to brush the box office, and it is their own loss, does the "Film Law" stipulate that the box office is not allowed?"

"What do you say they want?"

“… How do I know..."

Huang Zhonglei: "In this way, let's poke things out, find a few netizens to poke them, let's not come forward!"

Lao Fei nodded: "It's okay, the film industry is too chaotic, and it needs to be rectified!"

"Mr. Huang, the North American box office is out..."

As he was talking, the secretary knocked on the door and walked in.

“… How much?"

"$7.81 million!"

"One day?"

“… It's the first weekend result..."

Huang Zhonglei didn't want to talk anymore...

Tired!

The big production of 70 million US dollars, we don't buy it in China, and the United States doesn't buy it either!

Why?

“… Zhonglei, make an appointment with the Beijing News tomorrow, and I want to tell everything!"

"No, if you do this, the theater chain will hate us to death!"

After thinking about it, Huang Zhonglei said: "I'll go and say, I'll guide the topic to Yuehua!"

……

On October 3, after nearly a month of preparation, "Vulgar" finally started shooting in a studio in Quebec.

There was no press conference, no flashing lights, and no complicated ceremonies, and the crew quietly started filming.

“Cut！”

Just ten seconds after the test shooting began, Zhang Junsheng shouted to stop, and he stood up from behind the director's camera: "Christine, I need you to be more lazy, more casual, and have a richer expression on your face!"

Three days before the start of filming, the main filming of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.

Only the two of them have the right schedule!

The boiled eggs and Jason Statham and Joel Kinnaman are still on vacation for the time being...

It's quite suitable, the two newcomers are the most suitable for grinding the crew!

Christine's acting skills are hard to describe...

It's not time to test her explosiveness, the simplest dialogue shot, Zhang Junsheng is all kinds of dissatisfied, which is a robber, it is clearly a runaway daughter!

As for Robert Pattinson, there is nothing wrong with the accent, but the acting...

The actors you choose must also support yourself while kneeling!

The vulgar and clever thing is that "vulgar" is only the appearance, and its negative teaching materials, such as "Little Times", are flashy on the outside, but the inside is still that vulgar and commonplace.

What is the inner meaning of "Vulgarity"? In fact, it is a trivial matter of ups and downs between some social mezzanines!

For example, the underworld shot and killed the younger brother, the boss killed the anti-bone boy, and the robber killed people to seize money and ran away, even if you haven't seen these, you believe that where it happened as a fact.

The most powerful thing is the reversal, which is understated and not forceful, but it has the effect of four or two thousand pounds.

Just like the muzzle of the gun put down against the robber at the end, the mafia boss Masha forgives the anti-bone boy...

To put it simply, films like "Little Times" are using larger, colorful bubbles to cover up mundane facts.

Therefore, actors must be lived!

However, after "Twilight", Christine didn't know how to act a little, and she just had an expression when she said her lines...

As a last resort, Zhang Junsheng is ready to play the big panorama - no close-up!

Let these two people sit facing each other and say their lines, and whoever speaks, shoot the other person...

When the climax is reached, when the two decide to rob the convenience store, give a close-up...

Of course, when shooting, there will still be a camera that scares them.

There's no need to tell the actors about the post-editing!

Camera on the shooting site:

Christine looked up and around the customer, either eating or indulging in conversation, the tired waiter, doing his bidding, the handyman perfunctorily cleaning up the plates, and the manager complaining to the cook.

A smile spread across her face.

"Wonderful! I'm ready, let's do it! Here it is!"

Robert: "Remember, as before, you control the crowd, I control the employees. ”

"Understood!"

They each pulled out a 32-caliber pistol and placed it on the table.

They looked at each other...

"I love you, Pumpkin Boy. ”

"I love you, little bunny. ”

After saying the lines, the two grabbed their guns and stood up!

Robert yelled at everyone: "Calm down, everyone, this is a robbery!"

"No one is allowed to act rashly, otherwise they will all be killed!

"Click!"

Zhang Junsheng shouted to stop, the two actors looked at him, Zhang Junsheng smiled: "The performance is good, but I ask you to perform better, you have five minutes to adjust." ”

Filming has just begun, and the crew needs a run-in process, especially the actors need to find their state, and usually rehearsing in private and standing in front of the camera to perform are completely different things.

Besides, if you can do it in one day, why do you need a five-day schedule?

"Director, phone..."

Zhang Junsheng took off his headphones and was about to drink some water, when the assistant director who was rationed for him came over with his mobile phone.

It's Tang Ningyu...
