In Zhang Ran's view, it is very important to snipe "Night Banquet" to make a fuss in the region. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In 2006, the domestic secondary and tertiary markets have not really developed, Beiping, Modu and Guangzhou are the three largest ticket warehouses in China;

In Beiping, Feng Xiaogang's Beijing-style films are particularly popular, Hollywood films are more popular because of the city's cosmopolitan nature and lack of local films, and Guangzhou's proximity to Xiangjiang and its Cantonese-speaking circle make Xiangjiang films particularly popular. Feng Xiaogang has accumulated a deep enough reputation in Beiping, and it is unrealistic to compete with him for the audience here, unless Zhang Ran's movie appears in person. In order to squeeze the box office of "Night Banquet", it is necessary to use the other two regions as a breakthrough.

Zhang Ran's idea was to use "Disciple" to grab the filming of "Night Banquet" in Guangdong in the second week of the release of "Night Banquet", and to launch "The Queen Wears Prada" in the magic capital to grab white-collar audiences, so as to cut "Night Banquet" in half.

Since its release in the United States in June, "The Queen Wears Prada" has resonated strongly in the fashion circles and young female white-collar workers in Europe and the United States, and has been regarded as a treasure book for office survival. In addition, a large number of fashion trend elements in the film also provide a lot of reference for female audiences, becoming a trend-leading film. In early August, Zhang Ran bought the Chinese distribution rights from Fox for $500,000, and quickly passed the review of China Film's film approval and obtained the screening qualification.

Since the end of August, Century Peak has publicized this movie through various channels, and even found someone to write a gun article called "Ten Movies a Woman Must Watch in Her Life", which was forwarded to Tianya Gossip and other forums with more female netizens These articles were quickly forwarded to major forums by the propagandists of the pinnacle of the century.

Despite a round of bombing, before the release of the movie, "The Queen Wears Prada" has become the focus of attention of young people in China, and the white-collar class has shown strong interest.

After "The Queen Wears Prada" entered the market, it performed quite well, achieving a box office of 3 million on the first day, diverting many times of "Night Banquet" and stealing many female audiences, which had a certain impact on "Night Banquet".

By Thursday, the real killer came and "Disciple" was officially released. The lineup of "Disciple" is very strong, Liu Hua, Wu Yanzu, Gu Yule, Fan Binbin, can be said to be star-studded, and this movie is a gift from Fan Binbin to leave Huayi and join Rong Xinda, which has caused a lot of topics from the beginning.

When the peak of the century was publicizing, it cut out the passion scene between Fan Binbin and Wu Yanzu and put it on major video websites. This fragrant shot of Fan Binbin taking the initiative to tease Wu Yanzu is very realistic, and the feeling of sweating like rain makes the audience's blood gush. Countless male viewers have prepared their banknotes early after watching the video, waiting to enter the cinema to have a look.

Passion drama is an important means to increase the box office in China, and the audience eats this set very much. In fact, the hype of passion drama was quite popular abroad in the past, and Harvey loved to do it in the seventies and eighties. Harvey bought a lot of art films from Europe, and European art films were often uncomfortable, and he cut out the nude scenes in them and put them in the trailer to attract the audience, and this is how Miramax gradually developed.

On this afternoon, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu came to the Kerry Center Hotel in Peking to attend the premiere of "Disciple". Before the two walked the red carpet hand in hand, Er Dongsheng and the members of the crew came over to say hello to Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu, and thanked them for coming to the stage; Andy Lau and they also tactfully expressed their willingness to cooperate with Zhang Ran, after all, Zhang Ran is now one of the four major directors in China.

The media reporters didn't expect Zhang Ran and Zhang Jing to appear at the beginning, they were all overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up the camera and slapped at them. It's just that Zhang Ran and they didn't stay long, and drifted over like a breeze, which made the media who wanted to take the opportunity to interview them shout that it was a pity.

After a short event, the film officially begins. In the previous life, Zhang Ran watched "Disciple", but a long time has passed, and his impression of the movie has been blurred, so he watched it very carefully after the movie started.

Er Dongsheng's film works have always been in a cold documentary style, taking the route of realistic documentary style, and "Disciple" is based on a real case, which brings this cold documentary style to the extreme.

The film shows the whole process of drug planting, drug production, and drug trafficking very realistically, making this movie more like a living teaching material for drug rehabilitation. Liu? Hua plays the cautious drug lord Kun Ge in the film, who has the intention of retiring due to his slight ill health, so he intends to be replaced by Ali played by Wu Yanzu, and tells Ali the secret of drug business, but the closer Ali gets to the truth of the drug world, the more he feels lost, and even begins to be unable to distinguish between the truth and the fake in the real world; Gu Yule and Fan Binbin play a husband and wife in the play, originally only Gu Yule took 1 drug, but Fan Binbin in order to prove to Gu Tianle that people can use willpower to quit drugs, so he also began to take 1 drug, but in the end he couldn't quit。

At the end of the movie, Zhang Ran stood up and applauded sincerely, the movie was indeed shot very well, and the actors' performances were also extremely good, it was a rare masterpiece. The only thing worth worrying about is whether this cold style, such a heavy subject matter, can be accepted by the audience. However, judging from the reaction of the audience, everyone was acceptable, and many people stood up to express their love for the movie.

Fan Binbin came to Zhang Ran's side for the first time and asked, "Director, what do you think of my performance?"

Zhang Ran smiled and nodded: "The performance is very good, this is the level that Chen Mingzheng's students should have!"

Chen Ming is Fan Binbin's teacher at Xie Jin Film and Television School, she didn't expect Zhang Ran to even know this, and she was a little surprised: "How do you know that I am a student of Teacher Chen Mingzheng?"

"I've watched the disc from Xie Jin Film and Television School, and I let it go to the students in the class, isn't the teacher who teaches you Chen Mingzheng, he is one of the representatives of Shanghai-style drama, I naturally know!" Zhang Ran remembered Fan Binbin's image in the disc, and couldn't help laughing, "You are wearing a red sweater, and you look really cute with rouge on your face!"

Fan Binbin didn't expect Zhang Ran to watch the disc, and said coquettishly: "Director, you make fun of others!" Then she said with a smile: "Director, don't forget to agree to my conditions!"

Zhang Ran has always kept his promises, and naturally he will not forget: "I want you to play a play, but the cost of that movie is very high, and it may take a year or two to start filming." I also thought about the role you want to play, definitely not the protagonist, but definitely not a soy sauce role with only one or two shots. It's just that Hollywood movies have a very strict and strict assessment mechanism, and the language barrier must be passed, otherwise even if I say hello, people will not give you the role!"

Fan Binbin immediately said: "I'm already learning English!"

At this time, Er Dongsheng came over to greet Fan Binbin and asked her to go on stage with the crew to thank the audience. Fan Binbin had to end the conversation with Zhang Ran and walked on the stage with the crew. Zhang Ran naturally didn't have the need to stay, so he walked out of the cinema with Zhang Jingchu and drove back to the crew.

On the way back, Zhang Jingchu suddenly said: "I don't like Fan Binbin!"

Zhang Ran was a little surprised, and didn't know why Zhang Jingchu said this: "She offended you?"

Zhang Jingchu pursed her lips and said, "No, but I just don't like her!"

In fact, Zhang Ran doesn't like Fan Binbin very much, and thinks that she has too many thoughts outside the movie. However, he doesn't like to speak ill of others behind his back, so he continues to drive.

Zhang Jingchu looked at Zhang Ran and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you speak?"

Zhang Ran was surprised: "What did you say?"

Zhang Jingchu said sourly: "Fan Binbin, don't you think she's cute!"

Zhang Ran understood what was going on, and was a little crying and laughing: "That daughter-in-law of mine, you eat this vinegar inexplicably!"

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Ran turned on the computer, searched on the Internet, clicked on the video, and then beckoned to Zhang Jingchu: "Daughter-in-law, come and see the cute appearance I just said!"

On the display is an instructional video, in which 15-year-old Fan Binbin is wearing a red sweater, her face is like a child who is about to perform on stage, and her makeup is shockingly ugly. Zhang Jingchu sneered: "Actually, I'm not jealous, I'm teasing you!"

"Wow, even I dare to tease, see how I clean you up!" Zhang Ran yelled and threw Zhang Jingchu on the bed, then pounced on her, and reached out for her armpit.

Zhang Jingchu was most afraid of itching, and suddenly smiled and begged for mercy: "Spare your life, don't dare next time!"

"Disciple" performed quite eye-catching and optimal on the first day of release, achieving a box office of 7.5 million on the first day, and the reputation was excellent. Both the media and netizens have been well received, and the performances of several actors have won praise.

"Fan Binbin's performance is very exciting, explosive, and the role is also impressive, although I don't know why, there is a lot of scolding for her in the forum, but after watching "Disciple", I think it is too much, I think if an actor can stick to a good role so much, no matter what the atmosphere of public opinion is, there will be more and more people who like her!"

"When the subtitles came out, I dared to believe that it was Gu Yule, when the character he played came to Fan Binbin, Fan Binbin was hiding at home, he opened the door and laughed, that laugh made me creepy, that kind of scoundrel feeling was played so well. ”

"The scene of Fan Binbin covered in rats after his death is really scary! I like to watch the little girl and Wu Yanzu, Wu Yanzu is so gentle holding the little girl, and the final shot is so touching!"

On the 25th of September, the box office of the movie was released for the week. "The Queen Wears Prada" ranked third with 14.5 million, while "Disciple" ranked second with 27 million in three days: Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" ranked first with 29 million, with a cumulative box office of 94 million.

Although "Night Banquet" defended its second week of box office title, it fell by as much as 55%. Next week, Cheng Long's "Baby Plan" will be released again, and "Night Banquet" will inevitably continue to dive. According to the normal trend, it is difficult for the total box office of "Night Banquet" to exceed 120 million, and Zhang Ran's tactics have been successful.

Of course, the main reason why "Night Banquet" is so exaggerated is that the movie itself is too bad, if it has the quality of "No Thieves in the World", I am afraid that "The Queen Wears Prada" and "Disciple" will become cannon fodder.

Shortly after the box office of the movie was released, Wang Zhongjun received a call from the United States. After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhongjun directly dropped his teacup, and then broke out with a heart-stopping roar.

Wang Zhongjun has always had a calm personality, and in the eyes of many people, he belongs to the kind of person who has not changed his color when Mount Tai collapses. But at this moment, his angry roar could be heard throughout the building. Everyone realized that something was wrong.

Wang Zhonglei was also startled, ran into Wang Zhongjun's office, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
