A billion?

Zhao Meicheng is really digging a pit step by step!

This famous director has always been known in the industry for his outspokenness, but if you think he is really a hot-tempered guy, then you are completely wrong.

When the time was almost up, Yuan Ke and Zhao Meicheng got up and left one after another, and went to sit in the screening hall, while Li Qian, Qi Jie and others stayed behind.

Waving his hand to send away Liao Min, who seemed to have something to say, Qin Jingjing seemed to have grown a little bit in the past two years, and when she saw this, she also left with her agent, Qi Jie shook her head with a smile, "The means are a little low-level, right?"

Li Qian also smiled.

To tell the truth, it's okay to fool Minghu Culture and Huafei Film and Television to pinch it, or fool Qin Wei's "Golden Stage" to reach the top of 500 million, but I wish your "Huang Feihong's Boy to Be Self-Improvement" to break one billion, Zhao Meicheng's method does feel a bit low-end.

But right now, think about it, he's also a clever woman.

Minghu Culture has made a lot of money from several movies in recent years, which naturally made a group of people in Jinghua Film greedy, and the unprecedented 700 million sales of Qin Wei are estimated to have made Zhao Meicheng and them flow all over the place.

is still the same sentence, once you only stare at the domestic one-third of an acre, then it is basically inevitable that your peers are enemies - everyone is hostile to Hollywood blockbusters coming to make money every year, and they are trying to lead the rise of domestic films, which is another level.

Anyway, I wish all of you were bad, and I would be the only one to sell the sale!

But the key is that Jinghua Film and Minghu Culture are currently considered a "honeymoon period"!

To put it bluntly, so far, there has not been the most direct market conflict between the two companies - in fact, Jinghua Film has not yet reaped the benefits of the rapidly expanding market market!

Therefore, if you don't want to say congratulations, by the way, provoke the relationship between Minghu Culture and Huafei Film and Television, anyway, it will not hurt the face of both parties, and it will not tear it apart for this, which is the limit of what Zhao Meicheng can do.

It's just that...... It will make Li Qian look down on him a little!

As far as the current domestic film market is concerned, through last year's summer file, and "Red Sorghum" and "Big Names" in the first half of this year, in fact, domestic knowledgeable filmmakers have basically explored the bottom of the current domestic film market - in fact, Zhao Meicheng also understands it very well!

Qin Wei's huge name and super appeal are all hard things, even if Zhao Meicheng looks down on his clumsiness in making money last year, he has to admit that his "Golden Stage" is definitely not to be underestimated.

However, he himself said that "Golden Terrace" has reached the top of 500 million!

At this time, if you really believe what he said, ""Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" sold a billion and trampled Lao Qin so that he couldn't find the north!", then you are stupid!

From "Red Sorghum" to "Big Names", they are all movies with excellent reputation, but they have been holding back enough energy, extending the schedule, strengthening publicity, etc., all the ways can be made, but they can't rush the hurdle of 600 million.

What does this mean?

This shows that in the short term, unless there is another super-sensational phenomenon-level top masterpiece, it is possible to cause a huge sensation in the entire country, and it is possible to break the domestic box office record of 700 million created by "The Gate of Life and Death".

Otherwise, it's almost impossible.

"Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" has the foundation of the first "Huang Feihong", and it is said that it has a certain foundation for hitting the box office record, but in Li Qian's view, this movie is a big hit, but it is almost impossible to hit the 700 million box office of "The Gate of Life and Death".

The reason is very simple: the theme is still in the frame of the previous part, there is no breakthrough in the story, and there is no breakthrough growth in the market.

On the contrary, "The Matrix", which is about to start filming, in Li Qian's view, has a little possibility of impacting the domestic box office of 700 million or even higher.

Because it will be something that will break the worldview of the Chinese people and even the entire world film industry!

Li Qian has strong confidence in this.

As for "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", Li Qian poured cold water on Zhao He and Zhou Baoshan on the one hand after the movie was completed: 300 million is considered a passing grade, 400 million is very satisfied, and if it can exceed 500 million, it is already a very successful - the golden sign of "Huang Feihong" shines again, and the domestic box office market and the limitations of the theme of the movie itself cannot be ignored.

At this time, if Zhao Meicheng is fooled, and the entire crew has extremely high expectations for the movie that far exceed the reality of the situation, then in the future, the imbalance of mentality is almost inevitable.

Of course, the current Li Qian and Qi Jie are no longer rookies!

And on the crew's side, with Li Qian's attitude, the cold water has already been splashed, and nothing can happen!

…………

Entered the screening hall together, sat down according to the seat number he got, Yuan Ke deliberately touched Zhao Meicheng's arm, and when he turned his head, he whispered: "You shouldn't say that, Li Qian and Qi Jie are such fine people! As soon as you said it, they probably smacked it out on the spot." ”

Zhao Meicheng smiled on his face and said, "I just want them to understand that I'm stirring up trouble here!"

Yuan Ke was speechless.

Well, according to his understanding of Zhao Meicheng for so many years, he should really think so, instead of prevaricating his own words-hey, I'll make trouble, what can you do with me? Anyway, the two of you are fighting, and Qin Wei didn't come over to bully me, so I just look at your jokes, what's the matter?

That's how he is!

Yuan Ke sat back and stopped talking.

As far as the three bosses in the film industry are concerned, he is a relatively honest person, not as fierce as Zhou Yanghua, nor as long-sleeved and good at dancing as Hu Fei, compared to him, he, the big boss behind the scenes, is even more like Zhao Meicheng, the big butler of the big director - Zhao Meicheng does what he likes the most, and everything else, as long as he is unwilling to do it, will be handed over to Yuan Ke, who is a miscellaneous man.

Therefore, it is said that the person Zhou Yanghua looks down on the most is Yuan Ke.

…………

As soon as the movie began, there was a wave of climaxes.

Whether it's Yuan Ke or Zhao Meicheng, they all watch it with relish. After all, they all love to watch the first part.

Then, when the song of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" was sung, Yuan Ke and others were certainly enthusiastic about listening to it, but at this time, about 100 lucky fans who were specially invited to the premiere in the back row couldn't help but sing along.

As a result, for a while, countless industry bigwigs, celebrities, as well as some media reporters who have close ties with Minghu culture and many film critics who were invited to come couldn't help but look back in surprise.

Those die-hard fans sang a lot.

Through the light on the screen, Yuan Ke and Zhao Meicheng, who turned back in surprise, clearly saw the excited expressions on the faces of the gang when they sang along with the movie.

Yuan Ke looked a little envious.

Who can not be greedy for die-hard movie fans like this?

The movie has just begun, and just by shining this song "Men as Self-improvement", it has already aroused the excitement of so many fans, obviously recalling some good memories when they saw "Once Upon a Time" last year - to put it bluntly, this thing is feelings!

A movie, once the audience has feelings, is the box office still a thing?

Everyone makes movies, and who doesn't want to make a film like this themselves?

Yuan Ke just stared at the audience in the back row, watching them sing loudly along with the movie with an excited face, with a fascinated expression on their faces.

At this time, I heard Zhao Meicheng seem to sneer in my ears, and I felt very disdainful.

When he turned around, he saw Zhao Meicheng coming over and whispered, "This is all the nursery they are looking for, right?"

Yuan Ke said: "It is said that the lucky audience was drawn from the movie tickets of "Huang Feihong" last year, and they were all registered on the official website of Minghu Culture, they must have liked "Huang Feihong" very much, but it is not a nursery, so it is not easy to say." ”

Zhao Meicheng sneered again, "It must be nursery." ”

Yuan Ke smiled and didn't continue to refute anything.

He doesn't think it's necessarily a good childcare.

Because Li Qian already has this ability - it's hard to say anything else, if you want to talk about the music resources needed to make movies, such as theme songs, interludes, soundtracks for TV series and movies, etc., in the circle of TV series and movies, if you want to say that the resources are the most powerful, it is obviously Minghu Culture.

This point is like making a MV for a song, no one in the entire music industry can compare with Minghu culture, it is the same - people eat all the three worlds of film and television songs!

And everything is doing well!

Let's talk about movie interludes, almost every one of Li Qian's past works was a movie that made a song popular, and in turn, the wide popularity of the song won a lot of votes for the movie.

From "I-Believe" in "My Sassy Girlfriend", to "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" in "Once Upon a Time", to "Red Sorghum", which is full of strange and rough taste, "Sister, You Go Forward Boldly", it is better - and, in the past few years, some audiences have been reporting many times in the media when they sing along with the songs in the movie when watching director Li Qian's works.

Even, even the TV series made by Minghu Culture is basically a few songs that can be popular in every TV series, and even a few singers!

From "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Meteor Garden", "Princess Huanzhu", to the recent "Love to the End", isn't it all like this?

So, it's really not unusual.

…………

After the song was sung, the movie gradually entered the alley, and the audience behind naturally stopped singing for a long time.

Yuan Ke came back to his senses, turned his head and said to Zhao Meicheng: "It is estimated that the box office will not be low!"

Zhao Meicheng turned his head in surprise, with an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Could it be that I am a crow's mouth, can I really do a billion?"

Yuan Ke smiled and said, "One billion...... I don't think there's much hope, but I think that three or four hundred million should be underestimating them! Just for the performance of these audiences, I estimate that there is hope for five hundred million. ”

Hearing this, the expression on Zhao Meicheng's face finally began to be a little serious.

Looking back at Baoshan's handsome movements on the big screen last week, he finally nodded with great difficulty, sighed, and said, "Maybe! This should be the first sequel to be a big hit!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand with a tangled expression and picked his ears and eyes, muttering something to himself.

Yuan Ke didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhao Meicheng said: "I said...... If he changes his mother to shoot someone and can continue to sell well, Li Qian will be happy in the future! Make a start by himself, sell well, and change the director immediately, not only making a lot of money, but also being able to win people...... Grass!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

After a pause, he turned his head to look at his boss again, lowered his voice and said, "I hope Lao Qin can come up with something good, otherwise there is really no one on Minghu's side who can suppress it!"

Yuan Ke was silent for a moment and nodded.

If this movie really exceeded 500 million domestic box office in one fell swoop, as he expected, then Minghu Culture is really unbeatable!

It's only been a few years of work, "Huang Feihong" is 470 million, "Red Sorghum" is 575 million, "Big Names" is 578 million, if "Huang Feihong" gets a sequel and changes the director, it will be another 500 million...... I can't think about it!

In addition to Qin Wei, who has a "The Gate of Life and Death" that sells 700 million, these other domestic directors, including Du Weiyun, Liu Chengzhang, and Zhao Meicheng, have not yet broken 500 million! But Minghu Culture has already come up with three...... Scary or not?

Scary!

It's also sad!

…………

After the screening of the movie, the audience burst into thunderous applause, Yuan Ke watched around while applauding, and found that not only himself, but many people who had watched the movie, whether it was reporters, stars, managers of theaters, or ordinary audiences, everyone seemed to be very satisfied on their faces - yes, he himself felt that this movie was indeed very good!

He thought to himself: this time, maybe he won't guess wrong!

Zhao He, a new director who was unknown before, is afraid that he will become famous in one fell swoop - the fourth director in China to break 500 million at the box office!

When the media interview and fan interaction over there ended, the entire premiere ceremony was completely over, Zhao Meicheng got up and walked out expressionlessly, looking very worried and unhappy, Yuan Ke had the heart to stop him, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, and finally he had to take Li Linlin with him, and went over to congratulate Li Qian and Qi Jie.

Yes, this film is really beautiful in his opinion.

After Zhao He took over the director's baton, he basically continued the overall style of the first part, from story design, action design, to lens style and director's language, many places followed Li Qian's style in the first part, so that the audience who likes the first part will feel that this rhythm and temperament are very familiar, and they can watch it effortlessly, but in some subtle places, such as in the interpretation of the characters, in the editing and arrangement of some fine-cut shots, he has a lot of small strokes that can be noticed with a little attention.

It can be regarded as an innovation in inheritance.

Pretty nicely done.

After congratulating with a smile on his face, Yuan Ke took Li Linlin out of the house.

However, as soon as he left the crowd, Yuan Ke's face immediately became gloomy, and he was a little worried.

When he returned to his car, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called his assistant, "When the sequel to "Once Upon a Time" is released tomorrow, I want to see its daily box office situation for the first time." ”

Li Linlin looked at him, and when he hung up the phone, she said, "There's no need to worry so much, right?

Yuan Ke shook his head with a wry smile, patted the seat in front of him first, and let the driver drive, and then said to his beautiful aunt: "It's okay this year, but what about next year?"

Li Linlin looked surprised, "Next year?" she said, she smiled, "Next year, is it possible that they will have to make the third part of "Huang Feihong"?"

Yuan Ke couldn't help laughing when he said this, but he immediately said: "That's not easy to say! As long as it sells well and the audience wants to watch it, call me and I will definitely shoot the third part!"

After a pause, he said with a sad face: "I didn't think of taking the initiative to step on them, but this circle is ...... Bao Qi Minghu culture felt that he was powerful and his position was stable, so he began to turn his head and step on others?"

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Linlin, "Qin Wei, they don't dare to step on it, will they find Lao Zhao's head?" You know, Lao Zhao is still more capable of causing trouble!"

Li Linlin has some expectations for Ai Ai, and she doesn't know how to answer this question.

After a long time, the car had already entered the fast lane, and she said: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much, right? This movie is very good-looking and well-made, but Qin Wei must have a unique job, and his "Golden Stage" is coming for this "Huang Feihong"! When the time comes, "Golden Stage" will step on "Huang Feihong" for the second time, and this feud between them will not be resolved!"

After a pause, she smiled, "At that time, Li Qian still has the heart to confront others? shouldn't he ease relations with several other companies, including us, and then concentrate on fighting against Lao Qin?"

Hearing this, Yuan Ke looked at Li Linlin with some surprise and surprise, and suddenly laughed, "It's really possible that this is the case!"

After a pause, he smiled, "I hope so!"

Li Linlin patted her man's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Qin Wei is amazing!

…………

The premiere ceremony is over, and tomorrow, "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement" will be officially released nationwide.

One of the most important significance of the premiere ceremony lies in the early warm-up of public opinion, word-of-mouth and online communication - this is a very important step in the pre-release publicity war.

And in the afternoon and evening of the same day, more than a dozen reviews written by lucky viewers who had seen the premiere were published on the Internet - no doubt, unanimous praise.

For this sequel, for Zhao He, the sequel director who has been controversial and suspicious in many media before, almost everyone gave a high evaluation of the sequel's story, style, etc.!

And at this time, it was the time when the fans of "Once Upon a Time" were looking forward to the release of the movie so that they could see it, so as soon as these extremely rare after-viewing feelings appeared, they were quickly pushed up, and in just a few hours, the replies were already as high as thousands!

Many people said in the message: After reading the landlord's post, I am even more greedy, so I will go to see it tomorrow!

***

Scratching my head: The monthly pass is a good thing! I can't eat enough! And the more I eat, the more energetic I am! Don't look at me as a big fat man, since everyone started to vote for the monthly ticket, I now don't have to go up ten steps in one breath! It's just not easy to get it!
