Chapter 61 "Crazy Boy" fire
On the evening of June 31, 2008, there was a long line in almost two-thirds of theaters in Tokyo. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I'm really sorry, the tickets for the Huaxia blockbuster have been sold out. Several security guards shouted loudly.
"How is that possible? You've only sold a few copies, I'm afraid you don't even have half of your usual ones, right?" said an old fan dissatisfied.
"Brother Zhang, it's really gone. The security guard said to the old fan.
"I brought a lot of friends to see it today. You said no. "Old fans have a look of not reaching their goal and vowing not to give up.
The security guard was also acquainted with this person, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, the tickets for the Huaxia blockbuster are indeed gone." But we have tickets for Tokyo's local blockbusters. ”
"I don't want any local films, what blockbusters Tokyo Film Company can make, I just want Chinese blockbusters. Since you don't have it in the theater. Then I'll go to another theater. I don't believe in any Tokyo films. After saying that, the old fans took away a piece of people. Although many people left, there were still many more who chose to stay and watch "Crazy Boy". Some of these people are people who have already watched Chinese blockbusters, and some of them don't care.
There are two kinds of people who come, one is the one who thinks the movie is a hot-blooded Jianghu film, and the other is the person who thinks the movie is a romance movie.
The reason for the enthusiasm is that there are onlookers when the film is filmed, so it is not uncommon for it to be spread out.
As for those who think of romance films, they are mainly influenced by posters.
There is no premiere of "Crazy Boy" that does not premiere.
The crew didn't get together, they all went to see it separately.
After taking a shower at home, Chen San walked to the nearest movie theater nearby. From afar, I heard the security guard shouting, 'The tickets for the Huaxia blockbuster are sold out.' Chen San's heart was cold, he couldn't imagine that the Chinese blockbuster in Tokyo would be so popular. But then the security guard shouted again, "There are still tickets for "Crazy Boy".'" Chen San's heart improved a little. The words of the security guard just now explained that his movie should be a good time period when it was released.
"Give me a ticket for Crazy Boy. Chen San said to the ticket window.
"Do you want a balcony, a grand class, a back seat, a middle seat, or a front seat?" asked the conductor.
"Middle seat. Chen San replied. Since I mainly want to hear the audience's opinions on my movie, how can I go to the balcony and the special seat!
“3600。 The conductor said.
With the ticket, Chen San walked in, to be honest, Chen San really didn't expect that his movie would be broadcast in prime time, so he didn't ask Xiaoqin to watch the movie together, and Xiaoqin didn't contact him during this time.
Also here, Chen San really has to admire Toyota's methods.
Looking at this screening room, the attendance rate has reached 60% at the moment.
"If this movie isn't good, see if I don't scold him half dead in the newspaper tomorrow. Lao Zhang scolded. It turned out that Lao Zhang found several theaters and said that the tickets for the Chinese blockbuster had been sold out, and there was only this "Crazy Boy". Helpless, Lao Zhang had to invite a friend to watch this film. But I was still very unhappy in my heart. It was decided that if the film was not good, he would definitely be bombarded in the newspapers tomorrow.
It just so happened that Chen San was sitting in the back seat of Lao Zhang. Chen San looked at his watch, and there were still 5 minutes left, and the movie was about to be released. If nothing else, the room's occupancy is estimated to be between 65 and 70 percent.
Toyota warmly received friends on the road, some of them were family business friends, some were their own friends, and some were here for the sake of face. But either way are friends. Friends in Tokyo are a resource, a precious resource.
"I haven't seen you in more than ten years!" an old man walked over with a smile.
"Uncle, you're still so high-spirited!" Toyota and Ichichi stretched out their hands.
After shaking hands, the old man said softly: "I've heard about it a long time ago! I hope tonight's film won't disappoint me! Otherwise, I will refund the ticket!"
Toyota said cheerfully: "Okay! If you are not satisfied, you can refund the ticket at any time." ”
"Oh, are you so confident?" asked the old man curiously.
Toyota said mysteriously: "Uncle, this movie, I surprised you by it." ”
"What if you weren't surprised?" the old man wondered where Toyota's confidence came from.
"Then don't say it's a refund, I'll even compensate you for mental damages. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your words. The old man patted Toyota on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you can go and greet other guests." ”
"Uncle, then please please!"
"Good. ”
When it was 8 o'clock, the movie officially began, Chen San looked around, and the attendance rate was almost 65%. But it's nice to have so many.
In the darkness, the screen gradually emerged with a string of shooting stars, and the Warner logo gradually appeared.
"Warner? Lao Zhang sneered softly.
After the screen logo, eight large blue letters appeared. 'Produced by Warner, it must be a high-quality product. ’
Tokyo Cinema.
"Kazuyi, your friend's tone is not small!" said the uncle who was sitting next to him softly.
"Huh. Toyota smiled.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
Shinnosuke is an economic journalist, but at the same time a veteran film critic. I just came back from a business trip to China a few days ago.
Shinnosuke has a habit of reading the newspaper every morning, and there are two types of newspapers: economic and entertainment.
After exercising in the morning, Shinnosuke bought more than a dozen newspapers as usual.
"Another Jianghu Film", seeing this title, Shinnosuke took a rough look.
To be honest, Shinnosuke is a little cold to Jianghu films.
From the content, Shinnosuke knew that this film was called "The Man of the Troubled Boy in the Rivers and Lakes".
Putting down this newspaper, he picked up another entertainment newspaper. The one that hit the headlines was "People in the Rivers and Lakes". Looking at the content, Shinnosuke couldn't help but wonder a little. It's all about the same movie!
Finally, he took out a newspaper that he often published film reviews. The film critic of this issue is Lao Zhang. His title is "Just as the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, the pink confidants can't help themselves".
At first glance at this film, Lao Zhang thought it was a Jianghu film. But in fact, it's really a Jianghu movie. But the rivers and lakes here are different from others. The rivers and lakes here are flesh and blood. There is a realistic portrayal. I have to admire this director who came out of nowhere. He filmed it so badly.
As for the role of the heroine, I can only say that she is acting in her true colors.
Because I can't fault the slightest fault, it's still worth watching throughout the film.
After reading Lao Zhang's film review, Shinnosuke's heart is really a little itchy.
I decided to go see this movie tonight, I can't do it if I don't watch it, it's too controversial.
There are also a large number of film critics who hold the same mentality.
After all, the film didn't appeal to them at first.
At the same time, the citizens of the Great River Country, under the bombardment of newspapers, knew about the film. In addition, people who have seen it say that it looks good.
If the attendance on the first night was good, the attendance on the second day was unprecedented, and the venue was full.
And after a week of hot screenings, "Crazy Boy" occupied the tenth place among the top ten highest-grossing movies in 2008 with an astonishing 10 billion.
However, for the more than 10 million gangsters in the Great River Country, there is still a long way to go.
10 billion is a huge amount for Chen San, but what he can really get his hands on is not a single point, at least not so far.
In a private room in a tea restaurant.
Toyota poured a cup of tea for Chen San and said, "Look, isn't there a miracle?"
Chen Sansanhan. What a miracle is this! This is clearly cheating!
"Now all over Tokyo, who doesn't know you Chen Haonan. Toyota pointed at Chen San and said excitedly.
Indeed, now all Tokyo people know about this Chen Haonan.
I don't know if it's okay, but Tokyo's "Crazy Boy" with 2 million members is a classic. It is estimated that Chen San will immediately set up a lot of clubs now.
"Southeast Asian studios have come to the door. Toyota said.
"Oh. Chen San has also heard about this. But not very concerned.
"Southeast Asian filmmakers have offered very high prices. I'd like to invite you to do some publicity. ”
"Publicity?" Li Qianyi was a little inexplicable, hasn't the promotion of the film always been set by his own company, what does the film company care. Also, why did this Toyota pass the word.
But then Toyota's words solved the mystery for Chen San. "You also know that the debts of the rivers and lakes will not be paid off in a lifetime. ”
Chen San immediately understood that this time, the filmmaker might have a bit of a black background.
"Okay, I'll go. After thinking for a long time, Chen San finally replied.
"Actually, you are just going to publicize, publicize. It's going to be fine. I said hello to him, and I owe you a favor. Toyota said.
"When to go. ”
"Pack up tonight, and go tomorrow, right?"
"So urgent?" Chen San asked in surprise.
Toyota said helplessly: "Yes! Southeast Asia is waiting crazy now!"
Southeast Asians can't help but want to watch commercial blockbusters after they get tired of watching romantic dramas. And it just so happens that the most popular thing in Asia at this moment is "Crazy Boy".
Southeast Asian studios flocked to it all at once. It just so happened that one of them was acquainted with Toyota. This is the first month near the water.
In addition, the box office of "Crazy Boy" is 10 billion, but Chen San only got 3 billion. The rest of the big heads were devoured by various theaters.
However, in Southeast Asian filmmakers, Toyota has already received 10 billion. So Toyota gave Chen San another 5 billion.
Look at the check on the table. Chen San's heart was beating wildly.
"What? too little!" said Toyota, joking.
Chen San rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "I've never seen so much money. ”
Chen San accepted the check and lifted the box.
"By the way, this is only for the Great Rivers and Southeast Asia. There are still many countries that have not talked about the film. So you're definitely going to earn more than that!" said Toyota with a smile.
"I can stand the test of money. After saying that, Chen San walked out. (To be continued.) )
