『Chapter error, click here to report』
After the reporter's interview, the celebration banquet officially began.
For a time, the whole audience pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the chips were staggered.
Compared with Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng, the two actors who laughed and chatted throughout the whole process, Ning Hao, a new director with a box office of more than 10 million, has become a cash cow in the eyes of the three bigwigs.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoguang has to admit that there is still an essential difference between the status of actors and directors of the same level, for a director, the box office is the most effective, and a high box office has everything.
The reason why Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng are still called TV stars, but they are not movie stars, is because they are not like Ning Hao and have made their own classics in the film industry.
After all, in the eyes of everyone, "Crazy Stone" has always been Ning Hao's signature, and it is not the representative work of the two producers, Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng.
"Director Ning is young and promising, he can make such an excellent movie at a young age, and there will definitely be a place for you in the future!" Wen Jun did not hesitate to praise himself.
"Wen Dong, you have an overreputation, I just eat with a mouthful!" Ning Hao said modestly.
"Haha, Ning Hao, you have brought a surprise to our distribution department this time, the box office exceeded 10 million in ten days after its release, and according to today's trend, it is only a matter of time before it breaks through 20 million!" Luo Jianyuan laughed.
"It's still thanks to the leadership of the third master and the director, our movie can achieve such results!" Ning Hao hurriedly said.
After slowing down, Han Sanping and Wen Jun clinked glasses and said, "By the way, Dong Wen, have you done the distribution in Hong Kong?"
"Haha, of course, if I don't fix this, I'm embarrassed to come here and beg for a drink. Wen Jun said with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood.
"Dong Wen, I'll leave it to you this time!" Ning Hao said gratefully.
"It's easy to say...... By the way, Director Ning, do you have any plans for the next film?" Wen Jun asked again.
"I probably have an idea in my heart, but the script is still being worked on!" Ning Hao said calmly.
In other words, Ning Hao is not interested in how much money others make, and this time his movie can break through the box office of 10 million thanks to the help of China Film.
Now that the fame has begun, the money after that will not be 10 million.
"New movies need investment, just tell me that I missed this opportunity last time, and I want a piece of the pie next time!"
"Then thank you Wen Dong in advance, if there is a need, I will definitely trouble you!" Ning Hao hurriedly said.
Ning Hao's battle can be said to be famous in a fight, from the original rookie director who was worried about the funds, to become a sweet and sweet in the eyes of the bigwigs, but Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng were so envious that their eyes were red.
The celebration banquet was about to end, and seeing that everyone was almost drunk, Xu Zheng called the lobby manager of the hotel and whispered: "Manager, are you ready to do everything?"
The lobby manager was a charming woman in her thirties, convex and backward, wearing a uniform, and said to Xu Zheng with a professional smile: "Brother Zheng, everything is ready." ”
Xu Zheng nodded: "Okay, then you can arrange it later, and you must let the three leaders come and return satisfied." ”
"You can rest assured, they are all carefully selected little sisters, and they will definitely satisfy the leaders. ”
"Later, you will act when you see the opportunity, they are all decent people, if the leader doesn't want it, don't force it into others. ”
"Yes, I understand, Brother Zheng. ”
The lobby manager had just walked a few steps when Lin Xiaoguang, who had been looking around on the side, came over and asked, "Brother Zheng, what are you muttering to that manager?" ”
Xu Zheng said disappreciatively: "The first half has ended, of course, the second half has been arranged." ”
"In the second half, didn't drink enough just now, still want to drink?" Lin Xiaoguang looked at Xu Zheng uncertainly.
Xu Zheng said angrily: "What time is it and you still drink, of course it's for the big guy!"
In other words, in the years since his debut, Lin Xiaoguang heard the term "fat girl" for the first time, and he felt that it was quite fresh, and at the same time, he instantly understood what the so-called second half was all about.
Although Lin Xiaoguang hadn't seen it before, he also knew that there were many people in the circle who did this.
This time when he returned to the magic capital, Lin Xiaoguang took a day off from the crew of "A Word is Settled" to participate in the crew's celebration banquet, and he also missed the grand premiere ceremony of "Night Banquet", the "epic blockbuster" of Feng Xiaotank.
Anyway, Hua Yi knows up and down that the relationship between Lin Xiaoguang and Wang Xiaoming, like Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, looks kind on the surface, and they don't deal with each other in private, and Wang Xiaoming played a supporting role in "Night Banquet", and it makes sense that Lin Xiaoguang didn't give Wang Xiaoming a cheer.
However, this is said again, Lin Xiaoguang's investment in this "Crazy Stone" has now become a competitor of "Night Banquet", and the two are fighting in the ring at this time, even if Lin Xiaoguang is willing to go now, Feng Xiaowan may not be willing to invite him.
Starting from January 25th, in addition to the blockbuster "Night Banquet" with a small tank, and Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone", as well as "Savage Secrets", "If Love", "Himalayan Star" and other films have also joined the competition for the Chinese New Year.
For a while, multiple films were piled up at the same time, resulting in a crowded and lively scene of the Chinese New Year stalls, each film has a different schedule, different audiences, and naturally there is a gap in the box office.
There is no doubt that on January 25th, the first film schedule in major theaters is "Night Banquet" by Feng Xiaotank, accounting for 30% of the market share, this is only the schedule for the evening premiere, and the film schedule for the next day will only be higher, and it is not uncommon for more than 50%.
The second in the list of films is the cross-strait and three-place co-production "If Love", accounting for 26% of the market share.
In third place is "Crazy Stone", which relied on word-of-mouth fermentation, became more and more courageous, and broke into the New Year file as a dark horse, which accounted for 23% of the market share.
As for the small Hong Kong films such as "Savage Cheats" and "Himalayan Star", after arriving in the mainland, they are not adaptable, and there is basically no publicity, and the theaters will give single-digit films at most, and these films are often referred to as cannon fodder......
On the other side of the capital, the premiere of "Night Banquet" has just ended.
It can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the audience that this premiere is a successful end.
After answering some questions from the fans, the theater staff organized the audience to leave.
And the reporters who were invited to come immediately found Feng Xiaowan and a group of big-name stars behind him.
"Hello Director Feng, I'm a reporter from Phoenix Entertainment, what kind of idea do you want to express in this movie?"
Facing more than a dozen microphones, Feng Xiaotank's head instinctively moved back.
"I don't have any ideals to tell the audience, I just told a story, and everyone will have a different understanding in their hearts, just have different opinions!"
The reporter continued: "Director Feng, is the plot of the movie "Night Banquet" based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet"?"
Feng Xiaowan nodded: "Well, that's right, it is indeed changed from "Hamlet". ”
"I think Director Feng has "sinicized" this plot that almost the whole world knows this time in an extremely artistic way. And then directly led to the emergence of a lot of unexpected characters in this revenge link, is this aspect deliberate by the director?
Feng Xiaowan put away his smile and said with a straight face: "The reporter of Phoenix Entertainment is at this level? Then let me ask you, what do you see from my movie?"
"I just saw a cliché story, and I didn't have to think about the deeper meaning!"
Feng Xiaotank's face swayed, and he said, "Okay, next question!"
"Director Feng, hello, I am a reporter from Tencent Entertainment, and now the total box office of "Crazy Stone" has reached 10 million in 10 days after its release, do you think the premiere box office of your film can exceed the total box office of director Ning Hao?"
"Of course, it's absolute!"
Feng Xiaowan is full of confidence, "We have invested 120 million in this play, and the big stars have invested a lot in big productions, which is not comparable to two or three million workshop movies, I believe that everyone can see the audience's reaction just now!"
In Feng Xiaotank's view, "Night Banquet", like "Hero", is going to hit the Oscars, although "Crazy Stone" won 10 million box office in 10 days with its explosive word-of-mouth, but it can't change the fact that it is a small-budget movie.
Moreover, "Crazy Stone" has been in theaters for ten days, and although the box office trend is good, it is not an existence that can be compared with "Night Banquet", after all, these two films are not a level of competition at all.
"What do you think the box office of the premiere of "Night Banquet" can reach?"
"I'm thinking, why do you have to have a 10 million yuan!" Feng Xiaowan thought for a while, and said a number without shame.
"This time, our Huayi company has won the maximum schedule for my film, coupled with the quality of the film, I am fully confident that I can reach this number!"
After Feng Xiaowan said the small goal of 300 million again, the interview ended quickly.
