Chapter 1425: Be happy
The box office of "Wu" is strong, and at a time like Monday, North America can still get 40 million at the box office, which is more than the premiere day of "The Three-Body Problem".
"The Three-Body Problem" was released two weeks later, and when his own work of the same door was freshly landed, it could still get a good box office.
The film schedule may be squeezed, as soon as the box office comes out, all the people who say they hurt each other have shut up, you are not hurting each other at all, but working together to hurt others, look at how much the movies in the same period have been squeezed, the third place in the weekly box office is only more than 3 million box office, and the attendance rate in North America is less than 20%, you know, people are also movies that have just been released for more than a week, as for being bullied like this by you?
In North America, this schedule is the stage when the movie is watched most frequently, and various film companies are waiting to seize this schedule and harvest the box office in the shortest time.
Publicity is one thing, and the series of movies is also one thing, the former needs to spend crazy money to emerge in this time period, so that the media and the audience pay special attention to your work, and the latter is a big IP industry, and its own commercial value is there.
Another option for works that can be successful at the box office is to rely on the word-of-mouth after the movie is broadcast, and quickly seize the market and make a preemptive move. The existence of Chen Hao itself has saved a lot of publicity costs for "The Three-Body Problem" and "Wu", and there is no need to spend money on publicity, the media are chasing the shooting, and the audience is slowly looking forward to it.
The first ten days belong to "The Three-Body Problem", and the later works have not been able to suppress its popularity, another Mr. Chen's work has come up, and in terms of the excitement of watching the movie, it is better than "The Three-Body Problem", I have seen too many sci-fi special effects of science fiction films, and I suddenly returned to the origin to see the most traditional things made of the extreme, which is not only suitable for all ages, but also allows many elderly people who have not been in the cinema for a long time to be pulled into the cinema to see the memories they only had when they were young.
Chen Hao left Xiangjiang by plane on the afternoon of the premiere, and did not stay to chat and drink with everyone, the premieres of the two films were not in Hollywood, somewhat unreasonable, the North American market is currently the largest overseas market for his works anyway, and its movie audience is also the most recognized audience in the world to enter the cinema to watch the movie, after more than ten hours of flight, arrived in the afternoon of LA, and rushed directly to a theater near Chinatown at the airport, where he watched the movie together with a group of older generation of Chinese in the form of activities"Martial Arts".
As an artist, it is normal to participate in the promotion of works day and night, and no one can be called the main role in the filming of "Wu" except Chen Hao, but he still spares no effort to take more potential actors to follow him to promote the world together.
In the past, many old friends knew that Chen Hao's living conditions were very comfortable, and after the publicity of "Wu", these newcomers knew that people's comfort was really not blown, don't look at the very tight schedule, the publicity activities were arranged very intensively, but the quality of life of man and machine did not seem to be affected at all.
Yesterday in Xiangjiang to attend the premiere, did not go too much to greet people, first returned to the hotel, took a shower and then took a rich lunch in the hotel, when eating can still see his hair is still wet, the meal here must be arranged in advance by the assistant, pack up the luggage and the staff arrange to check out, and carry the luggage to the car.
From returning to the hotel to rest and eat, there is not much time left for everyone, only less than an hour, it is said that such time is definitely not enough, at most it is a time to pack luggage, but under the effective arrangement, especially after seeing Mr. Chen's indifferent state, everyone feels that this time seems to be very generous.
Take a shower, wash off the uncomfortable feeling on the surface of the body during an activity, change into comfortable clothes for a long flight, get down and prepare a meal, and eat a good meal in 20 minutes in the way of eating a buffet according to your liking.
Go downstairs, go directly to the comfortable bus, the air conditioning in the car has been adjusted to a comfortable temperature, from downstairs to the start of the car, there is no more than three minutes in this world, the orderly staff arrangement, will be arranged in advance, and listen to these staff said, they came in advance to arrange also to eat in advance, which is equivalent to saying that Mr. Chen is eating behind them, so that they go to check out and send luggage in the process, there is no resentment in their hearts, let alone feel that it is just a miscellaneous, the order of eating will sometimes reflect whether a person's self-esteem is satisfied。
Peng Yuyan has been one of the few young actors who has been recognized for his acting skills and hard work in recent years, and Zhang Jiahui filmed "Fierce Wars", both of them were crazy to go to the gym, plus Peng Yuyan was a little fat man back then, and now he is a muscular man, very inspirational, and several big productions are also willing to find him to play the leading role, this time he also has a lot of scenes in "Wu", and he can be regarded as the third male number one in terms of calculation.
People are popular, there must be a lot of work, he, like many people, has a feeling of boredom with long-term busy work, Huang Bo at the beginning relied on rest to adjust his state, and the final result of the Feilun Sea running seven or eight announcements a day was that Wu Zun flew solo and the whole group was silent.
Peng Yuyan prefers the life in the crew, single and simple, he only needs to focus on filming every day, as soon as he reaches the publicity period or activity period, he feels tired, he feels tired when he returns to the hotel just now, just go directly to the airport from the premiere scene, just go to the airport or get on the plane to change clothes, and go to the hotel to toss what to do, the time is only about an hour, all tossed on the road, it is very uncomfortable to sit for a long time.
Seeing Chen Hao, I found that people were more tired than their own propaganda arrangements, but they seemed very relaxed, and after eating, they also left themselves five minutes to go to the toilet, and when they got to the car, the chair was adjusted back, and they took out their mobile phones to chat with interest, and chatted for a while and started to play games, Peng Yuyan sat behind him, and he didn't see what game he was playing, but he could feel that he was very involved in playing, and the loneliness of the road and the mental depression that might exist had not appeared in him.
The efficiency of the crew, Peng Yuyan has already realized it, he has followed Mr. Chen to shoot several dramas, not only in "Wu", but also in the "Galaxy" series, there is also the identity of a special combat team, and the relationship with the previous brokerage company is also Mr. Chen came forward to help get it, and at present, it is arranged by Huanju Times to set up a personal studio for him, which is attached to the Huanju era in the name of the studio, and the company's resources can not be taken by a large amount.
In the era of Huanju, he felt a very different working atmosphere, in addition to the busy irritability, a lot of outside pressure is almost gone, to Mr. Chen's crew this feeling is more sufficient, you never need to go to the airport to arrange your assistant to deal with a lot of chores, there, all the trivial things will be taken care of, you just need to follow a set of boarding procedures, enter the first-class lounge and wait for boarding.
Playing all the way, immersing himself in his own world all the way, enjoying himself, until he got on the plane, this time the international flight did not have the network signal when he took the flight, Mr. Chen put down his mobile phone, adjusted his chair, and put on an eye mask, you think he was lying down and sleeping, but he just adjusted the chair to the angle of sitting, Peng Yuyan was very curious to lean over, took the headphones handed over by Chen Hao and listened to it, only to know that he was listening to cross talk.
Other people's more than ten hours of flight, basically rely on sleep to pass the time, can't sleep to watch movies, eat something, flip through magazines, in short, most of the frequent long-haul passengers are actually more irritable on the plane, are eager to be able to arrive at the destination early, but also wish they could get on the plane to sleepy, and then sleep to the destination.
Peng Yuyan found that Mr. Chen was not like this at all, he slept when he should have slept, but when he didn't, you would find that he seemed to be enjoying all his time, whether it was on the road or at the event, or now in the sky, it seemed that the enclosed space did not limit his mind and body to enjoy life.
"Is Mr. Chen an otaku? ”
I didn't even go to the hotel after getting off the plane, I went directly to Chinatown to participate in the event, in the RV, Peng Yuyan was modeling with Chen Hao, and sat down on the plane for more than ten hours, Peng Yuyan really didn't want to talk, his body was not tired, he felt that he didn't want to talk, and he seemed to be very irritable when he spoke.
But the laughter from the side told him with the most real picture, look at Mr. Chen, people are more tired than themselves, and they are busier than themselves when they are in Xiangjiang, and he has experienced everything he has experienced, how can people still maintain such vigorous energy and happy mood?
"Mr. Chen, why can you keep this state and not be tired?" Curiosity forced Peng Yuyan to take the initiative to open his mouth to ask this seemingly impolite question.
Chen Hao didn't answer him directly, but asked rhetorically: "What do you like to do when you are on vacation, or what do you like to do when you are resting at home?"
Peng Yuyan didn't hesitate: "Fitness, look at comic books." ”
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled: "When you come out to work in the future, bring two less sets of clothes and more comic books." Seeing Peng Yuyan's confused face, he continued: "Are our travel tools comfortable? Don't worry too much about dressing, wear more to make yourself comfortable, so can this irritating road be transformed into the same state of life as at home?
When I arrived in Chinatown, watching Chen Hao and those elderly people chatting with smiling faces, Peng Yuyan seemed to understand a little, isn't this what "Wu" conveys? Happy to do what you like, to work hard happily, making movies is happy, so can't you be happy doing things around you?
Isn't it a joy for any filmmaker that everyone who sees you will praise your movie and talk to you about the attractive parts of the movie?
If you want to make countless busy and stressful promotional activities happy, you must first have enough strength to really shoot the work well, and then all the activities will evolve into an accumulation of self-confidence, no one will refuse to be praised by others, and no one will feel irritated when they are praised.
The whole is a ring, you have to do everything well, then you can form a ring, a good cycle of ring, work and life in a state of enjoyment, then even if there is no time for life, you can also turn the time interspersed after work into your life - a comfortable life.
Peng Yuyan is no longer irritable, after the end of this day's activities, he also invited Chen Hao to go for a fitness run early the next morning at the hotel, took a shower and passed it very comfortable, took a plane to Ottawa to do publicity activities, did not sleep in the morning as before, that kind of lifestyle will feel soreness on the plane, go out early in the morning to exercise, sweat a little, feel a little tired, to the plane, adjust the seat, cover the blanket, I feel that everything is comfortable, the muscles are in a state of rest, the body slowly falls asleep, more than an hour of sleep, open your eyes This journey is almost over。
After getting off the plane, he took out his mobile phone to play games with Mr. Chen, and he found that Mr. Chen played a card collection game, which is a simulation of the NBA, you can use a lot of legendary superstars, and you can freely match the game combination, Peng Yuyan is very interested, the change of transportation, the boredom of the length of the journey, a mobile phone can easily do it, a game makes you no longer need to hold the mobile phone and constantly flip through various applications and don't know what to do.
"By the way, let's make life simpler, five people have requirements for time and network, so you always feel that there is no time to play the game, and the small game can be a good way to pass the time if you find your own taste. ”
The promotion of the entire "Wu", Peng Yuyan felt particularly relaxed, and when Christmas came, he was no longer the main role in the crew, but he still followed the crew of "Galaxy 2" to start a new round of publicity and a new round of premieres.
"Wu", on the weekend Friday night of the second week of its release, only won one week of box office championships, and encountered a strong resistance from his strongest 'brother' "Galaxy 2", and at this time, "Three-Body Problem" has gradually withdrawn from the stage of box office competition.
