Chapter 739: Inseparable
In order to be in a hurry, Song Zheng devoted all his energy to the filming of "Assembly", and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to everything in the outside world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Regarding the box office battles of "No Thieves in the World" and "Ambush on All Sides", Song Zheng can only learn about it through the phone calls from time to time from Feng Xiaogang, who has left the group.
The box office of "No Thieves in the World" has exceeded 200 million, moving towards 250 million, surpassing "Crazy Stone" and becoming the fourth place on the box office list of Chinese films, second only to "Crazy Racing", "Hurricane Rescue", and "Titanic", which has not yet broken its box office myth.
However, with the retirement of the release time, the decline has been revealed, especially in the new week, the occupancy rate of movie theaters has fallen below 60%, and it can be counted for a week or two at most.
If it were placed in previous years, this result would have been the box office champion of the Chinese New Year, but this year is different, and "No Thieves in the World" was released at the same time, as well as Lao Mouzi's "Ambush on All Sides".
Originally, "Ambush on All Sides" was out of play, but it was a robbery, Lao Mouzi wanted to be a troll before, bundled "Ambush on All Sides" and "No Thieves in the World", and used the popularity of "No Thieves in the World" to make "Ambush on All Sides" popular.
As a result, he was defeated by Feng Xiaogang and Song Zheng's combination, so he immediately changed his mind and took "Ambush on All Sides" abroad, and signed up for a lot of international B-category film festivals of all sizes, and brushed back the trophies all the way, as well as a lot of praise from foreign film critics.
When "No Thieves in the World" was screened in Montreal, it received 20 minutes of applause from the audience. ”
"French film master Gatlin Gale praised "Ambush on All Sides" as a rare masterpiece of this century!"
"The Japanese audience is obsessed with director Zhang Yimou's masterpiece, which has triggered a frenzy of movie-watching!"
After a wave of true or false touting, "Ambush on All Sides" has really come back to life in China, which is also caused by the fact that domestic audiences are easy to be guided.
Since foreigners like it so much, it must be a good movie, how can Chinese not go in and watch it?
The huge turn in the situation caught Feng Xiaogang and Song Zheng off guard, seeing that "Ambush on All Sides" was about to be trampled to death, and the box office wanted to break through 200 million, which basically became a joke, but who knows, Lao Mouzi's routine is so deep, and he also played a trick to bloom inside the wall and incense outside the wall, and the situation was pulled back at once.
"Zhengzi, should we also find two foreign film festivals to hang out, or we will release them overseas in advance?"
On the phone, Feng Xiaogang's tone seemed a little impatient.
It's no wonder that he can't hold his breath, he has been pressed by Lao Mouzi for too long, and he finally saw a chance to successfully counterattack, and he was about to sit on the winning game, and now it has become suspenseful.
After Song Zheng heard this, he also thought in his heart, at this time, what are the influential foreign film festivals, they are all small awards from township enterprises, even if they are won, they are not worth anything, and they may be ridiculed.
"Forget about the film festival, Brother Xiaogang! In this way, you go to Su Wenwen and tell her that overseas distribution can be accelerated, the key is, Brother Xiaogang! We have to calm down, is there still a difference of nearly 10 million at the box office from time to time? It's not so easy for him to overtake!"
At most, there will be more than a week, and these two movies will be painted one after another, although it is still a long time, but, after all, both movies have been released for more than a month, and no matter how powerful the rebound of "Ambush on All Sides" is, how powerful can it be.
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he also knew that he was a little impetuous, but the current situation did not allow him to continue to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and he always felt that he should do something.
"Zhengzi! Otherwise, let's join forces to charter the venue!"
Chartered!?
Song Zheng was stunned by Feng Xiaogang's words, of course he knew what it meant to charter a venue, and in order to pursue a decent box office figure, investors would use the method of chartering.
That is, at their own expense, they chartered the entire screening hall, which was said to have happened when Huayi Brothers released "Big Names".
This is also a kind of operation method in the circle, which is not decent, but it is very practical.
But Song Zheng didn't want to do that.
"Brother Xiaogang! forget about this kind of thing, it has a bad reputation when it spreads, and besides, do you think it's interesting to get the box office through this means!?"
Song Zheng absolutely disdains cheating, through cheating, even if he gets a high box office, what's the point, it's just self-deception.
He would rather lose to Lao Mouzi's "Ambush on All Sides" in the end, rather than let the box office of "No Thieves in the World" contain a little moisture.
Of course, Feng Xiaogang also knew that this kind of thing was unseemly, but he just watched "Ambush on All Sides" surpass "No Thieves in the World", and he was definitely unwilling to see the good situation ruined.
"But I've heard that the new screen is already doing that!"
When Song Zheng heard this, he didn't react too violently, but felt that this matter was quite disgusting, the two families were competing well, but suddenly the family came up with a foul trick, which was originally fair competition, but it became unfair, this kind of thing, who can not be disgusting.
"Regardless of him, Zhang Weiping is willing to cheat, let him do it, this kind of thing can't be hidden from people at all, when the time comes, it will be exposed, it will be them, Brother Xiaogang! You listen to me, we must not do this, if we want to win, we will win above board!"
Feng Xiaogang saw that Song Zheng was so persistent, and he couldn't say anything more, he didn't want to do this in the first place, he was completely forced by the current situation, so he came up with a crooked trick.
"Okay, listen to you, how are you doing over there?"
Song Zheng listened to it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Feng Xiaogang would do something to charter the venue regardless of it, if he was really caught by the new picture, when the time came, he didn't know how much dirty water would have to be poured on them.
"It's going well on my side, after the war drama is filmed, the rest is the literary drama, and I plan to finish filming it all in another month!"
Feng Xiaogang smiled when he heard this: "Okay! After the filming is over, you press it first, and how about going back and our brothers and sisters will have a fight in the same room during the Chinese New Year?"
Song Zheng said with a smile: "Forget it! I'm a political task, but I can't wait for this year's Lunar New Year, besides, you don't lack opponents!
Feng Xiaogang's tone was disdainful, and said: "Who fights with him!
Song Zheng was just about to sarcastically go back, when he suddenly heard Feng Xiaogang say "stealing the box office", he was shocked, and said: "Brother Xiaogang!
