Chapter 600: It's hard to put into words
"To Our Dying Youth" opened on April 26, and on the same day, it set a new box office record for the first day of 2D Chinese films with 46.2 million.
Since then, the movie "To Our Dying Youth" has shown a strong box office appeal at a rate of 200 million in 4 days and 300 million in 6 days.
After May 1, despite the menacing Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Man 3", "To Our Dying Youth" did not change the trend of attracting audiences of all ages into the theater, and the number of moviegoers reached 11 million within 7 days of release, and the national attendance rate was 50% on average during the May Day period.
At the same time, Chen Xiaozheng, played by Zhao Yacht, said the five-character golden phrase "You are neurotic", which was called the unique logic of youth by netizens, and even the writer Han Han was on Weibo, interpreting the youthful self-deprecation spirit in "You are neurotic" with deep meaning.
In fact, the film market in the first half of the year was almost the same every day, before "To Our Dying Youth", the final box office of "Beijing Meets Seattle" also broke through 500 million, and female director Xue Xiaolu refreshed the box office record of literary films.
But unexpectedly, the box office of "To Our Dying Youth" broke through 500 million box office in only 15 days, and Zhao Wei also became the most profitable female director in China.
Although Lin Xiaoguang did not play a role in the movie "To Our Dying Youth", he once again attracted the attention of the majority of netizens because of his identity as the producer of this movie.
"The current Chinese film industry is not like a few years ago, a few years ago, film resources were completely in the hands of a few predators, and now, led by Lin Xiaoguanghe, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and others, the stone gang began to report to the group to keep warm, and entertainment began to diversify, and the Beijing circle, Shanghai circle, Hunan circle, etc. began to slowly form. ”
"Curious to ask upstairs, is Director Lin the Beijing circle or the Shanghai circle?"
"I don't know, in short, I want to congratulate Director Zhao, congratulations to Director Lin, the box office of the movie "To Youth" has exploded again!"
"Yes, Director Lin is too strong, it's a walking box office elixir, as long as it's a movie he directs or invests in, all of them make a lot of money!"
"Zhao Wei was able to successfully transform this time, and I really want to thank Director Lin for his support. ”
"Director Lin is too awesome, I just trained Xu Zheng to be Director Xu last year, and now I have trained Director Zhao. ”
"I hope everyone will broaden their horizons and stop calling Xiaoguang by the name of director, many people may not know that he is now the chairman of the light and shadow company, and he is a film and television tycoon worth more than 100 million!"
"Spit ...... Who doesn't know that Lin Xiaoguang is a big man in the film and television industry, but don't forget Cheng Sicheng, the movie "Beijing Love Story" is also produced by Lin Xiaoguang. ”
"The village is electrified...... I admit it, I'm lonely, I didn't expect "Northern Love" to have something to do with Director Lin.........?
“……”
"To Our Dying Youth" is in full swing, and it stands to reason that Lin Xiaoguang, the producer, does not need to cooperate with the publicity, and should take a good rest for a while.
But Lin Xiaoguang has already filled his schedule for the past few months, and he has no time to prepare for a break.
Just after participating in the premiere of "To Youth", Lin Xiaoguang immediately entered the preparation of "Dragon's Back Wall".
In order to finish filming the movie "Dragon's Back Wall" before the release of "Dear", the crew has been on standby, the funds have already been in place, and the cast has basically been determined, but the role of female singer Yang Dan has not been well selected.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoguang received a call from Liang Guoer asking him to go to the company.
When Lin Xiaoguang returned to the office, there were two women waiting in the office, the good-looking and younger woman was Zhou Weitong, and the older and shorter one was her agent Zhang Hong.
Seeing Lin Xiaoguang coming in, Zhou Weitong hurriedly got up and greeted: "Lin Dong, hello." ”
"Thank you Lin Dong for giving Wei Tong the opportunity to audition this time. The agent Zhang Hong also stood up.
Lin Xiaoguang frowned and looked at it for a long time, and still said under Zhou Weitong's worried expression: "The image is not bad, if you are willing, the role of female singer Yang Dan will be handed over to you." ”
Zhang Hong hurriedly said: "Thank you Lin Dong for your support." ”
Zhou Weitong also chimed in: "Thank you, Lin Dong." ”
Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Well, if there is nothing wrong, you can go back first, and I will inform you in advance when the time comes." ”
Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang was so cold to him, Zhou Weitong's face showed a little loss, but the agent Zhang Hong still remained polite and said respectfully: "Okay, there is Lao Lin Dong, then we won't bother Lin Dong." ”
After seeing Zhou Weitong and her agent leave the office, Lin Xiaoguang lit a cigarette and sighed regretfully: "It's good to look good, but it's a pity that it's plastic surgery!"
In fact, Lin Xiaoguang has always disliked actresses who have undergone plastic surgery, anyway, they feel weird and have no sexual interest at all.
Even if Zhou Weitong's figure is so hot and how coquettish he looks, Lin Xiaoguang can't raise the slightest sexual interest.
Even Liu Yan, who is called the "God of the Ball" by a group of otaku, Lin Xiaoguang is the same, he always feels that it is too fake, the entertainment industry is outrageously fake, this Liu Yan also has special plastic surgery and breast augmentation, it is too boring.
The reason why Lin Xiaoguang is willing to use Zhou Weitong to play the female singer Yang Dan this time is also a way out, because no famous actress is willing to audition for this killed female singer, and it feels too unlucky.
Just when Lin Xiaoguang was alone in the office, feeling sad, the mobile phone resting on the table rang.
Lin Xiaoguang picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Wei's mobile phone number.
"Xiaoguang, tomorrow we have a celebration banquet in Shaojing Wangfujing, you can come here. ”
"Celebration feast, what to celebrate?"
"Xiaoguang, you are really a great opportunity, how forgetful you are, what do you say to celebrate? Of course, it is to celebrate the total box office of our "To Youth" exceeding 520 million!"
Lin Xiaoguang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is there already 520 million? so fast?"
"Well, if you add the stolen ones, our box office should be 600 million. Zhao Wei said half-jokingly.
"Okay, I'll just say that the increase in the past two days is a bit strange! You let people be stricter, you must not let people fish in troubled waters, if anyone finds that the theater has stolen the box office, we must punish it severely!"
"Well, I know, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on you. ”
The two were silent for a while, Lin Xiaoguang suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Sister Wei, can we get the key to postpone the release of this movie?"
"It should be no problem, I have already called the third master about this. ”
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, since the third master has already nodded, then there must be no problem." ”
The so-called postponement key refers to the fact that the film can be offline later than the film of the same schedule.
For theatrical films where 'time is money', the longer the release time, the greater the chance of attracting money.
Of course, deciding whether a film wants to extend the key is mainly based on the opinions of the film copyright owner, and the reference factor mainly stems from the 'popularity' of the film in the market.
Popularization, in today's popularization of digital projection technology, the key to whether a movie can be screened on time in theaters across the country lies in a string of passwords.
Nowadays, most cinemas are using digital projection equipment, but after the digital copy is copied to the movie server, it cannot be played directly, and you also need to enter a password, which is the legendary 'digital key'.
At present, the key producer of domestic films is China Film Digital Film Development Company, and the key contains schedule information, which can control the release time of the film in theaters, generally about 30 days.
Each digital cinema server has a unique number, and the key corresponds to these numbers, so the server of each theater needs its own matching key to smooth the screening.
Digital technology is now much easier to regulate than film copies of the past, which is why HD piracy has become difficult.
What's more, the popularity of "To Youth" is far from subsiding, although several Hollywood blockbusters have been introduced during this period, the number of films in theaters has not decreased day by day, and it is now almost maintained at about 15%.
Judging from the current situation, if "To Youth" can get the key to postponement, the film can be extended for a month, so that the final box office of "To Youth" will definitely rise.
If nothing else, the movie "To Youth" should be able to win a total box office of 700 million, or even more than 700 million, with the extension key.
