Chapter 579: Venice Gathers
When Jiang Xia and his party arrived in Venice, it was already early morning on January 2. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.
This early morning is not the early morning of the East 8th arrondissement, but the early morning of local time in Venice.
Fortunately, the hotel has been booked a long time ago, and Jiang Xia himself is familiar with Venice, so he will not get lost and find the hotel.
Jiang Xia and they checked in smoothly, and when they turned on their mobile phones, Jiang Xia received a text message from You Fangfei.
You Fangfei: "The box office of the 2nd day of the troubled times was 210 million, breaking the record of the highest daily box office of domestic films. The box office of God of Gamblers on New Year's Day was 70 million, and the number of films scheduled dropped sharply. ”
Jiang Xia replied: "Got it." ”
You Fangfei: "Arrived?"
Jiang Xia: "Up?"
You Fangfei: "I've gotten up a long time ago, and I've arrived at the studio." ”
Jiang Xia: "Pay attention to your body. ”
You Fangfei: "Yes, you should pay attention too." ”
Jiang Xia: "Yes." ”
Putting down the phone, Jiang Xia let out a long sigh, although it had been expected, but the results of "God of Gamblers" on the second day were still not satisfactory, and the box office dropped by 50 million in one day, if there was no impact of "The Demon of Troubled Times", it is estimated that it would still be able to remain above 100 million, and the box office will only drop by 20 million, and the gap will not be so big.
Jiang Xia can think of what kind of turmoil "The Demon of Troubled Times" will cause in China.
The box office of more than 200 million per day is definitely a depth bomb, which blows up the entire entertainment industry briskly, and countless people look up to that unattainable number.
Spirit.
In Ye Yu's office, Ye Yu was pouring himself a drink, the wine was a good wine, and the treasure of Wang Fuji, the boss of the prosperous world, was specially taken out to reward Ye Yu.
This time, it was Ye Yu who suppressed all kinds of opposition and put the schedule of "Demons in Troubled Times" on New Year's Day, which now has a record-breaking box office of 210 million. At that time, even Wang Buji opposed the change of schedule, but Ye Yu made a military order, saying that if it was changed to New Year's Day, there would definitely be a box office explosion.
Facts have proved Ye Yu's foresight, and the box office of "Demons of Troubled Times" has really exploded.
In the previous forecast of the marketing department of Shengshi, "The Demon of Troubled Times" will be released on a normal schedule, and the daily box office should be able to exceed 100 million, and it is unlikely to be high. Changing the schedule to New Year's Day, the predicted daily box office, their prediction is not as good as before, and it may not even break 100 million. The reason is that there are strong movies released around New Year's Day, the first real gambling film "God of Gamblers", and the family-friendly "Boxer Laughing Maker", all of which are strong opponents.
The final result is gratifying, Shengshi, as a veteran entertainment company, is currently the first brother in the industry, and in recent years, there has been a downward trend, and artists have jumped ship and left, and there are even more people like Gong Shan who have torn their faces and left.
In addition to the artist, there is only one Li Yu left in the music world to support the beam, after Peng Linjing's contract expired, he decisively jumped ship, and there was no singer who could show his hand in a huge company, and the prosperous world was also miserable. In terms of film and television dramas, in the past few years, he was hung by Gongshan Studio for two years, and he has lost his spirit.
Only in the movie area, Shengshi still retains the last decency, and every year it can launch one or two movies with good word-of-mouth and box office, and it has created the "Troubled Times" series, a blockbuster comparable to Hollywood blockbusters.
The success of "Troubled Times 1" has made Shengshi almost devote all his energy to "Troubled Times 2" in the past two years, the script alone has been polished for a whole year, the shooting took a year, the special effects have been done for a year, and the investment for three whole years, if it fails, then Shengshi will really lose his position as the first brother in the industry.
For every step of "Troubled Times 2", Shengshi is extremely careful and pays great attention to it, from the very beginning of the shooting, to the later publicity, and even the schedule, it has been effectively calculated.
In order to maximize the box office, Shengshi moved the schedule of "Demons of Troubled Times" to the premise, the original intention was to impact the box office first, and then catch up with the New Year's Day holiday when the box office declined, and then take advantage of the hot market during the New Year's Day holiday to have a second spring and grab a little more box office.
Ye Yu gave a different plan, he wanted to release it on New Year's Day, the reason is that during the Lunar New Year period, if you want to earn the most box office, you can't just rely on yourself to earn it, but you have to suppress other people's box office, so that you can occupy the highest box office and grab the biggest piece of this big cake. Moreover, there is another advantage of the New Year's Day release, that is, to impact the daily box office, once there is an exaggerated daily box office, the honor and topic will be extremely huge.
The marketing department of Shengshi did not support Ye Yu's plan very much, but after Ye Yu made a military order, he still approved his plan, moved the schedule back, occupied the New Year's Day schedule, and finally won the bet!
Ye Yu poured himself a drink comfortably, extremely happy, after fighting with Jiang Xia for so long, he finally overwhelmed Jiang Xia once, extremely refreshing, from head to toe, there was a kind of refreshment.
"God of Gamblers, do you still want to fight with me, follow the ass and eat fart!" Ye Yu said to himself, "Yesterday dropped 50 million box office, today the film is scheduled, the troubled times once again account for a high vote, even the boxing king laughing craftsman's film schedule is not as good as the troubled times, the God of Gamblers is only ranked third, and today I will let you drop 50 million, see what you do, see if you jump out in a hurry." ”
After drinking the last sip of wine, Ye Yu stood up humming a little song, and danced a few times casually, and the dance steps were not bad, but he stopped after dancing, because he suddenly appeared, and what he was humming was actually Jiang Xia's song. Fang Cai's good mood was gone, Ye Yu shook his head in annoyance, and hummed a tune again, only then did he adjust, and his mood became happy again.
It is impossible for Jiang Xia to jump out because of poor box office, and for "God of Gamblers", as long as the box office reaches 500 million, it will be able to give Jiang Xia the filming funds for "The City is Full of Golden Armor".
The daily capital is 120 million, and the next day there are 70 million, which is close to 200 million box office, and when the next painting is made, 500 million box office, no matter how you can get it. As for competing for the box office champion of the Lunar New Year, to be honest, Jiangxia didn't have that idea at all, it was also a commercial film, a well-made special effects blockbuster, and the advantage was too great, and it was not comparable to a 3D movie like Jiangxia and them.
The final release of "God of Gamblers" is still in the form of 3D, mixed with 2D, so as to maximize the box office.
It's just that other people's 3D movies have certain special effects, so that the audience can watch the special effects, Jiangxia theirs' 3D movies, it's really the kind of subtitles that are 3D, except for the subtitles, there are only a few places in the whole film that can be seen to be 3D special effects, and the others are no different from 2D.
Jiang Xia, as a director, feels very cheating, if he is not forced to do so, he really doesn't want to show this movie to the audience, that is, the domestic audience is atmospheric, and going to the cinema to watch 3D is HD, not necessarily to see special effects.
The domestic "Troubled Times 2" is on a rampage, but Jiangxia is very comfortable in Venice.
The water city of Venice, known all over the world, is located in northeastern Italy, is a famous tourist city, and it is also well-known in history, and it was also gathered here during the Crusades. Today, the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals in Europe, is held here, and films from all over the world participate in the competition from August to September every year.
Gong Shan once won the title of actress at the Venice Film Festival, and also won the title of actress at the Berlin Film Festival, and even the actress at the Cannes Film Festival. She is not the first person in China to win the queen of all three major film festivals, but she is the youngest one. What's ridiculous is that such an actor who has won the crown of the queen of the world A-class film festival has not won a single actress in China, which is also very funny.
Jiang Xia even suspected that the source of Gong Shan's depression was largely due to the fact that her acting skills were always not recognized in China, and the actress laurels never fell into her hands. In those years, Gong Shan almost didn't make any commercial films, all of them made niche literary films, in order to impact the throne of the actress, success was a success, but it only succeeded in the three major European film festivals, and failed to succeed in China.
Internationally, Gong Shan's popularity is quite good, otherwise there would be no international brands looking for her endorsement. Her fame is more in the identity of an actress, the identity of a singer has not been recognized, she once hit the European and American markets with records, she was extremely miserable, and she directly gave up her mind, and she honestly traveled in China and Asia, and sold quite well.
Jiang Xia's records are also in Asia, and they sell better than Gong Shan, especially his third album, which is incomprehensible to Chinese people, and even more incomprehensible to foreigners, but just like the album title, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, you just know it's good. Of course, the song is good, so it sells well in Asia, and the specific sales have not yet been counted, You Fangfei is paying attention to this matter, and wants to see if Jiang Xia's album can hit the top three sales in Asia.
Jiang Xia doesn't care much about the sales of his albums, he needs to be busy with too many things now, and he will only pay attention to it when he thinks about it, otherwise he doesn't have so much energy.
The pace of life in Venice is very slow, and after arriving in Venice, they are all adjusting to the jet lag, and Jiang Xia has put aside the work for the time being, and he is waiting for someone at the airport.
Ni Jun and Wang Ke also followed, and they rented a seven-seater business car in Venice, the same model as the business car that Gong Shan often took in the capital.
"Jiang Xia, what time is the plane?" asked Wang Ke.
"I don't know, anyway, it's more than one o'clock, maybe it's late now, right?" Jiang Xia looked at the time on his phone, it was already more than two o'clock.
Ni Jun said: "Jiangxia, this is an airplane, not a green car." ”
"That's right, there is no delay in the plane, and the punctuality rate of the green car is quite high now. Jiang Xia complained silently.
"This is a good complaint, give full marks. Ni Jun said with a smile.
Wang Ke suddenly said: "It's here." ”
Jiang Xia and Ni Jun looked up, Zhang Pengpeng walked out with a suitcase, followed by Gong Shan, who was wearing sunglasses and wearing a long black coat.
"Brother Peng, this way. Ni Jun and Wang Ke shouted together.
Zhang Pengpeng saw a few of them, said something to Gong Shan, and came over here together.
