Chapter 218: Come on, the big showdown!

Monday, July 21.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the world premiere ceremony of "Golden Stage" was officially held in the leading theater of Shuntianfu Oriental Cinema Line - this time, the scale, the number of guests present and the coffee seats, are no worse than "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" a few days ago, or even stronger!

After all, Qin Wei's gold-lettered signboard for decades is not covered.

Hu Fei and his Huafei Film and Television have been operating in China for nearly 20 years, and they are definitely intertwined and deep-rooted.

And more importantly, this time they can be said to be attacking with all their might!

Naturally, the guests are like clouds.

At half past three, the film began to show.

And unlike "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement", which was held on the first day and officially screened nationwide the next day, the premiere of "Golden Channel" here began, and theaters across the country began to be screened at the same time after half past three.

Therefore, looking at the whole country, in fact, countless people are the first to see this Qin Wei's latest blockbuster at the same time.

The duration of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" is 102 minutes, which is decent, not long or short, but the release version of "Golden Stage" is 127 minutes long.

It is said that during the internal test screening, many representatives of the theater chain proposed that the film was too long, and it was not so necessary in many places. Therefore, everyone suggested that the producer should cut it a little shorter.

If you calculate the time, even if the movie is ten minutes shorter, under the clever arrangement of the theater chain, each screening room can arrange one more in a one-day screening cycle. Moreover, in fact, the shorter the duration of the movie, the more convenient it is for the theater chain to flexibly use its own screening room resources when scheduling films.

However, Qin Wei refused, believing that this 127-minute version was the most perfect.

The theater chain, which has always been extremely strong, in front of a big director like Qin Wei, whose last movie sold 700 million box office, also protested to no avail, and finally could only pinch his nose, what Qin Wei said, then what.

As a result, the final released version is 127 minutes.

A blockbuster of more than two hours, purely from the volume of time, this time Qin Wei is definitely going to the level of a masterpiece and an epic.

When the film was screened, as at every premiere, there was a round of applause.

Then, since it's a ceremony, at least a few shows will be performed, and then there will be a wave of interviews - to put it bluntly, the premiere is such a thing as attracting attention, for the headlines of newspapers and online news, and for the promotion as much as possible.

And this time, in order to create a greater momentum during the hot screening of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", Hu Fei threw a lot of money into it, and the scene became the largest in the film industry.

The show ended, and when it came to the interview and discussion, several main creators of the crew came to the stage.

Qin Wei naturally sat on the first chair, and next to him was Fu Hongxue, who had cooperated with Qin Wei for the second time and was also the leading popular flower girl in China in the past two years.

Fu Hongxue goes over there, and he is the hero of this movie, a veteran martial arts actor who has been rising in the past two years, a border defense.

Interviews, flattering each other, telling interesting things about the filming, blowing about the movie.

So much for.

When such propaganda articles are done, it is the turn of reporters and film critics to ask questions.

On such an occasion, Hu Fei's carefully arranged premiere ceremony, you can imagine that all the reporters' questions were arranged in advance, at least they were all "trustworthy" reporters, otherwise they would be allowed to enter only if they had greeted each other in advance and had a tacit understanding with each other.

Therefore, inappropriate questions will not be asked.

Of course, someone in the middle still asked a question that made Qin Wei hesitate for a while, and the reporter asked: "Director Qin, why did you choose to release the film at this time? As everyone knows, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" has just been released, less than a week. The choice of "Golden Channel" to be released at this time is bound to cause a very bad competition, and the final result will be that both parties will suffer. And I think that for the sake of the healthy and orderly development of the entire Chinese film market, such competition should not be promoted. So, there are a lot of sayings from the outside world now, saying that you are just going to "Huang Feihong's Boy to Be Self-Improvement", that is, you want to step on that movie, may I ask, do you think so in your heart?"

As soon as this question came out, although it was something that everyone knew about, as you can imagine, the scene was immediately silent.

Everyone first turned their heads to look at the reporter who asked the question in surprise, and then they all withdrew their gaze and stared at Qin Wei tightly.

Qin Wei seemed to be brewing for a moment before replying, "I never had the idea of stepping on anyone. Because I think that any mature film market will definitely appear after experiencing full market competition, and I hope that the Chinese film market can mature as soon as possible. Also, about your question, it's like this. In July, it is the prime time, the summer season, it is recognized that the film market is the hottest at this time, so, according to your logic, as long as I choose to release "Golden Stage" at this time, then I will definitely step on that if I don't step on this, I will definitely step on that! Does that mean that my movie will be a little high at the box office, and it will suppress other movies, so I must not be released at this time?"

Speaking of this, he spread his hands and smiled confidently, "Why? Everyone else can release it in July, but if you change Qin Wei, you can't! Is there any reason for this?"

After a pause, he said: "Besides, in my opinion, the films that dare to be released in the summer include every movie, domestic and foreign, since you choose to release it at this time, it means that you are already mentally prepared to face the market impact of the best and most competitive films this year! If you don't have this psychological preparation, when you come to a movie, you will shout, oops, so-and-so is targeting me, he is deliberately going to step on me! He stepped on me last year, and he will step on me this year!"

"I think people like this, you just quit the summer file!"

The words landed, and the applause slowly rang out at the premiere ceremony, and the applause became louder and louder, and finally became a tide!

I have to admit that Qin Wei's response is indeed magnificent.

It shows that he has a strong faith in his work.

The reporter seemed to want to continue to ask something else, but the host had already decisively pointed to another reporter, and he sat down helplessly - in the eyes of everyone, there was no doubt that Qin Wei's words were righteous and stern and superhumanly denied the reporter's duty.

Moreover, he also took advantage of the situation to kick "Huang Feihong's Man as Self-improvement".

At the end of the interview, another reporter stood up and asked: "Director Qin, I remember that when I gave you an exclusive interview before, we talked about a question, and you said at that time that you go with ambition to make every film." So now that your new movie, Golden Stage, has been released, can you tell us a little bit about your ambitions for this film? uh...... I mean, if it's convenient to reveal it now!"

This is obviously a familiar reporter, Qin Wei smiled when he heard this, and said, "Ambition! Haha, okay, I can say it." Yes, I think that after decades of exploration of Chinese films, we have our own exploration and accumulation of the film itself, the art and technology of film, but film, in the final analysis, is not the plaything of a few people, nor is it the exclusive art of individual artists, it is recognized all over the world that film is a cultural and entertainment product that belongs to the general public. Therefore, starting from last year's "The Door of Life and Death", I have tried to explore a commercial film road that is in line with the characteristics of our Chinese market. ”

That is to say, in my opinion, after the movie is made, in the final analysis, it has to be shown to people, to make everyone feel good-looking, understandable, and willing to spend money to run to the cinema for two hours to enjoy such a story that you offer him, this is success! I don't want that in a few years, we Chinese filmmakers will still be making so-called artworks that have a high artistic standard but the people are unwilling to consume them, and I am also afraid that if that development continues, our domestic people will give priority to watching some foreign commercial blockbusters when they enter the cinema, and turn a blind eye to our local films. If that is the case, I think, it will be the sorrow of our generation of filmmakers, and it will also be the incompetence of our generation of filmmakers!"

"Therefore, if I want to make a commercial blockbuster, I also want to win a high box office! I hope to make the domestic audience form such an idea in their hearts: Domestic commercial blockbusters are also very good-looking, even better than Hollywood blockbusters! Even, as long as our films are made well, we can go to the world, go to the world stage, compete with Hollywood films, and spread our Chinese culture to the outside world!"

"I'm trying to do it with all my heart, if I don't succeed, it's my limited level, I hope that later filmmakers can abandon my shortcomings and shortcomings, continue to work hard, if I am lucky enough to have a little bit of results, I won't stop, I will continue to move forward!"

"Thank you!"

After saying this, the audience was quiet for a moment, and then thunderous applause rang out.

The so-called grandmaster, the so-called film master, Qin Wei's status in today's domestic film and art circles is still unparalleled, and his words are obviously awe-inspiring!

It will make everyone think, sure enough, this is the style of a master!

Yes, although he has already gone to make commercial films, as long as you hear his explanation and heartfelt voice, you will feel that Qin Wei went to make commercial films, and he didn't fall out of line at all!

That's it!

At the end of the interview, a reporter asked Qin Wei to estimate the box office and give an expectation of the box office performance of "Golden Terrace".

Faced with this topic, Qin Wei was not ambiguous, thought about it, and said confidently: "I want to say, I hope to break 100 million in the first week, no one should think I'm talking big, right?"

There was a low laugh from the audience.

Everyone knows that Qin Wei is being modest - last year's "The Gate of Life and Death", the box office in the first week was more than 200 million, and it has been more than a year now, and no film has been able to surpass it. Now that the magnificent "Golden Terrace" is crushing, how can it not even pass 100 million in the first week?

Speaking of which, hearing the laughter from the audience, Qin Wei also seemed to feel that it was a bit too hypocritical and a bit hypocritical for him to give a first-week expectation of 100 million.

So, after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Then I look forward to it, and I hope that the box office of our "Golden Stage" in the first week of release can exceed 150 million!"

The audience burst into applause.

But the reporter who asked the question persevered and asked: "Director Qin, what are your expectations for the total box office of this movie?"

Qin Wei thought for a while and replied: "I think 300 million should be achievable, but last year's "Gate of Life and Death" got 700 million after all, and now I want to say that my expectation is 300 million, you may think that I am hypocritical, so ...... To put it higher, it is indeed my inner expectation, I hope that the final box office of this "Golden Stage", well, can reach and exceed 500 million!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and showed his right hand.

Five fingers, five hundred million.

The audience once again burst into thunderous applause.

The expectation of 500 million, against the backdrop of the box office of "The Gate of Life and Death" last year, as high as 700 million, everyone will subconsciously feel that Qin Wei's so-called expectation, although it is a bit conservative, but after all, it is public information to the outside world, and it is normal to be conservative and humble.

However, daring to shout 500 million to the outside world already shows Qin Wei's confidence in his own work - basically, according to common sense, he dares to say this, that is, he is confident and sure, and this drama can reach a minimum of 500 million!

…………

That night, Qin Wei's outstretched palm and five fingers, together with his box office expectation of 500 million, made the headlines of many evening newspapers and major online news platforms.

At the same time, Qin Wei's answer to reporters at the premiere ceremony, as the first person in domestic cinema today, issued a statement that "a good commercial film should be made for the people to see", which almost won one-sided praise - after experiencing last year's criticism of "The Gate of Life and Death", many newspapers turned to praise Qin Wei again at this time, and he was indeed a master.

Of course, the premiere of "Golden Channel" is a piece of news, which is certainly not the most important point.

The most important thing, in addition to Qin Wei's expectation of a box office of 500 million, is obviously the big collision that has begun between "Golden Stage" and "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement".

Not only Qin Wei's words in answering reporters' questions at the premiere ceremony were relayed word by word by many newspapers, but major newspapers also gave various analyses of this duel between the two sides.

Both sides have their pros and cons.

"Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" has exploded at the box office in the first week, and it is extremely normal to be weak in the second week, and Qin Wei's "Golden Stage" will be released in the first week and kill all sides, and it is almost impossible to predict, it is clear to everyone as if something has happened.

The script of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" is from Li Qian's hand, and the first part of "Huang Feihong" is also Li Qian's work, and Li Qian has entered the film and television industry in the past few years, and has already had the reputation of a screenwriter's holy hand, coupled with the wonderful martial arts and Zhiwei published by him under the pen name Jin Yong, basically no one will doubt Li Qian's ability to make up stories and tell stories.

And now, Qin Wei admitted at the premiere that the story outline of "Golden Stage" was from his personal original, and he also participated in the writing and revision of the script - in fact, there were a total of three screenwriters in the screenwriter's signature when the film was released, and Qin Wei was indeed the first signature.

Therefore, although "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" is not Li Qian's director, it will make this showdown lose a lot of gimmicks, but Qin Wei's first original screenwriter just formed a screenwriting showdown with Li Qian!

In addition, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" is a sequel to the popular movie, and "Golden Terrace" is a huge investment.

"Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" In addition to director Li Qian, the other main creators have all returned, Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi are a hot pair of big screen combinations in China at the moment, even the big fat man Pork Rong is very popular, but "Golden Stage", not to mention Qin Wei alone, just this one name is enough to crush a "Huang Feihong's Man Should Be Self-Improvement" that has lost Li Qian , Fu Hongxue, a popular star who is faintly the No. 1 flower girl in China today, and a partner with a powerful star like the border defense, is enough to attract expectations.

So, on the whole, it seems to be half a catty?

But in the newspapers that night and the next day, and even on the Internet, many experts have given box office expectations - "Golden Terrace" is 600 million to 800 million, and "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" is 500 million to 700 million.

Everyone predicts that this week, even if the box office of "Golden Terrace" in the first week does not exceed 200 million, it will definitely not be too low, as Qin Wei himself predicted, more than 150 million, which should be reasonable.

Therefore, this week must belong to "Golden Terrace".

And just this week, since the first week of the release of "The Door of Life and Death" last year, because of the fierce market competition between that movie and the first part of "Once Upon a Time", the record of the highest single-week box office in the domestic film market in history should be broken!

In this regard, many people give predictions of between 350 million and 400 million!

Because in many people's predictions, "Golden Stage" alone will win at least 200 million! And "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", which created an astonishing box office of 193.64 million last week, has a pretty good reputation among the audience, so although the box office will drop this week, it should not fall too much, so it is still very possible to win 130 million to 150 million!

Wait until next week, the box office of "Golden Stage" will definitely drop, but at the same time, "Once Upon a Time's Boy", which has entered the third week of screening, will drop even more-

Many fans of Li Qian and "Huang Feihong" had to sigh helplessly or scold angrily: This is simply a remake of "The Gate of Life and Death" last year when "Huang Feihong" was released!

However, on Wednesday, March 23, the third day of the release of "Golden Channel", iFLYTEK News, which has not been making any major moves, but has been reporting very calmly and ordinarily, suddenly gave a very important headline - come on, big showdown! I bet that the final box office of "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" will surpass "Golden Channel"!

Seeing this piece of news, many people were surprised!

Click in, and the first thing that catches your eye is a photo.

A guy who has been very familiar to many people before.

A big fat man with a big smile.

Click on it to see, the first sentence is-

"Do you think I'm filming our boss and her husband's ass? Then you are underestimating me, will I be like that?

Well, I'll admit, I'm that kind of person!

But this time, it's really not just sycophancy, the reason why I came up with such a sensational topic that may be assassinated in the future is mainly because I was annoyed to watch those box office predictions recently!

A group of so-called experts think they know very well, but do you know how many teenagers like me have decided not to go to the movies directed by Qin Da since the last "The Door of Life and Death"?

Yes, I really am a teenager!

Let me tell you, according to a network-wide survey conducted by iFLYTEK Group in June last year, the audience's dissatisfaction with "The Gate of Life and Death" was as high as 72.4%! And the expectation of Qin Wei's next movie was only 41%!

On the contrary, the audience's satisfaction with "Once Upon a Time" is as high as 89.2%! Dissatisfaction is only 4.2%! And guess what is the expectation for the sequel to "Once Upon a Time"?

77%!

And 63% of the qualified questionnaires who received our online questionnaire survey were between the ages of 15 and 35!

The entire Chinese film market has billions of box office every year, and more than seventy percent of it comes from these people!

They are the most powerful group of people in the Chinese film market, and they are a group of people who can decide the life and death of a movie!

So, dear readers, please believe me, I am really serious about slapping our boss's ass!

……”

And on the same day.

At eight o'clock in the evening on Wednesday, QQ suddenly popped up -

""Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" was released wonderfully, the story of a generation of grandmasters, you can't miss it!"

The next day, at eight o'clock in the evening on Thursday, QQ popped up again-

""Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", the most unmissable blockbuster this summer!"

At eight o'clock on Friday night, QQ pop-up window -

"Fans and fans of the Sect Master, it's time to show your strength!"

The QQ pop-up window for three consecutive days alarmed countless people who didn't plan to go to the movies, and who didn't plan to go to the movies so soon.

According to rumors, when Qin Wei, who was leading the team out to run publicity, heard that QQ had actually given a pop-up recommendation to "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement" for three consecutive days, he was so angry that he scolded for a while!

In this way, time kept moving forward every second, and the week from July 21st to July 27th came to an end.

I was in a very bad state, and I was very tired, but I knew that I couldn't retreat or dodge, so I gritted my teeth and stiffened, grinding line by line, word by word, for nearly eight hours a day, grinding out this difficult 6,000 words!
