Chapter 056 Accounts Sharing and Press Conference
If there was no Li Xiang's appearance, Liu Tianxian would be the most popular flower in this period, and there would be no one. has participated in four phenomenal TV series, which is also a very remarkable thing today. In order to win Tianxian, the Hua brothers even brought two kung fu superstars to play Liu Tianxian, this sincerity is enough, right?
It's a pity, I don't know if it's Tianxian's brain that is in the water, or the team behind her is in the water. Tianxian still didn't join Huayi in the end, and the Wang brothers were anxious at the time, what do you mean? Take us as a stepping stone? Hack her, the whole network hacks her! So what kind of plastic surgery, transsexuals and other strange lace news appear frequently, and the funny thing is that there are still people who really believe it, do you say funny or not?
To be honest, the story of "The King of Kung Fu" is okay, but the actors' mouths of chengish make people very dramatic, but the eldest brother Cheng and Li Lianjie, who have their own box office, have been accustomed to seeing the king for many years, and the much-anticipated movie has successfully exceeded 100 million at the box office. (In 2020, the live-action version of Disney's "Mulan" starring Tianxian will be starred, I hope Sister Fairy can make a beautiful comeback with this movie!)
The last blockbuster to be released in April is the phenomenal comic book hero movie "Iron Man" that opened the Marvel Universe. Iron Man is actually not a first-line superhero of Marvel, but Robert Downey Jr.'s superb acting skills make Tony Stark, a super-rich second generation, full of charm. Relying on the good results of 318 million in North America and 585 million US dollars in the world, Marvel also worked with Robert Downey Jr. to achieve a salted fish turnaround.
But the results of this movie in my country are not very good, after all, there are not many die-hard fans of Meiman in that year, or they are not too old, in short, the overall consumption power is not enough, resulting in the final box office is only more than 90 million. But you have to know that even gold-swallowing monsters such as "Avatar", "Transformers 3" and "Fast and Furious 7" actually have very little money that can really be distributed to Hollywood studios, and the bulk of it is still divided by ourselves.
Here I have to talk about the proportion of Hollywood movies and our country's account. If you know the Americans, you will know that it is not unreasonable for them to become the world's policemen, and they especially understand the principle of 'the predecessors planted trees and the later ones enjoy the shade', the so-called 'casting a long line to catch a big fish'.
For example:
When the first Hollywood movie "The Outlaw" landed in domestic theaters, people set a condition and only took 13% of the box office share, which lasted for 18 years until 2012, when it was increased to 24%. Take the box office of "Avatar" as an example, the domestic box office is 1.325 billion soft sister coins, but the money distributed to 20th Century Fox is only 170 million before tax, which is less than 30 million dollars when converted into US dollars.
Let's take a look at how much money "Avatar" got in Neon, the world's general box office share ratio is 35%, and "Avatar" got about 780 million soft girl coins at the box office in Neon, that is to say, the money distributed to Fox is converted into nearly 40 million US dollars. It is equivalent to people taking more than 40 million less in our country, which is all real money. Those ghosts in Hollywood are known to be the masters who dare to cheat even Wall Street money.
They are not philanthropists, so why are people willing to give up such a big profit? In order to cultivate the market! In the 80s, David Stern stood outside the Yang Ma building on a cold winter day, carrying a few videos of NBA highlights, which is why the NBA is known to the whole people in China today, although it is only the third sports league in North America; The love of the post-90s and even post-00s for Transformers, and the continuation of this love to the box office, can the "Transformers" series of movies be so successful in China.
Hollywood, through this act of cultivating the market, finally came to harvest in 2012. After negotiations with the Chinese side, the box office share was increased to 24%. The money shared before was too small, and no world-class stars were willing to come to our country. But since the increase in box office scores, you will see that since 2012, all kinds of Hollywood celebrities have frequently come to our country to make a familiar face, and to put it bluntly, it is all money. When people greet you with a smile, they are just embarrassed to say directly: "I love you!" (money).
In 17 years, Hollywood continued to encroach on our market, trying to increase the box office share to 35% of the international standard, and at the same time cancel the introduction of the film quota system, and finally cancel the domestic film protection month. If the negotiation is passed, it will be a catastrophic blow to our country's films, I just hope that this day will come later, leaving more time for domestic films to develop!

May 08 was a sad month, the whole country was in a state of grief and prayer, Li wanted to donate 5 million in the name of the studio, and at the same time personally donated 5 million. Through this incident, the whole world has seen the optimism, strength, and perseverance of our nation, and nothing can break our backbone!
···
The time entered June, and the bitter daughter-in-law finally became a mother-in-law: good news! Good news! The store is in a hurry to sell all the goods due to lack of funds... After nearly 4 months of preparation, "Genius Gunman" is finally about to start filming. After Li Xiang went through three movies, he was familiar with the people of the whole country. No, when his new film started filming, various media reports poured in.
"Talented new director Li Xiang, the new film is about to start shooting, and it is reported that the story is inspired by cheating in exams!"
"The title of director Li Xiang's new film is tentatively "Genius Gunman", and all the actors are newcomers born after 85, and the future of the box office is worrying!"
"Young mainland director Li Xiang, together with Huang Yuetai and Ho Jianxiong, Hong Kong local Wong Wat Nam Secondary School started to shoot a new film!" from HK Film Magazine, which was newly established in 07
These are all relatively weighty entertainment publications, and there are more large and small reports on others. After all, people are full of curiosity about Li Xiang's new work.
HK Sheraton Kowloon Hotel, Li Xiang took a group of actors to hold a press conference. The actors are all newcomers, and it is estimated that the focus of the interview is still on themselves.
"Hello Director Li, what is your box office estimate for your new film?"
Li Xiang saw that he was a person who hurt the news, and he was okay, but he asked more decently: "My first two movies have exceeded 100 million, so let's make a bold estimate of this one, 200 million!"
"Director Li, you don't have a famous actor in your new film, where does your confidence in the box office of 200 million come from?"
"Who said that there are no famous actors, Teacher Li Liqun and Teacher He Qing, which one is not a famous actor?" Okay, Li Xiang invited Teacher He Qing to make a cameo appearance as the principal of a private school. And Mr. Li Liqun, like Mr. Jin Shijie, is Li Xiang's favorite Wanwan actor. The last time through the cooperation of "Hurricane Rescue 2", Li Xiang formed a friendship with Mr. Li Liqun. This time Li Xiangyi was invited, and Mr. Li readily agreed to play the role of Xiao Lin's father.
"I'm sorry I made a mistake, I just wanted to ask you that this movie has no stars, can the box office be guaranteed?" The reporter may also find that his words were a little offended, and hurriedly explained.
"When is the box office of a movie decided by the star? My movies always invite the right actor to star in it, and whether he is a star or not is not within my consideration. Li Xiang explained calmly. In the era of traffic stars in the future, look at what face you have to say this!
"Director Li, what kind of experience prompted you to make a movie with this theme?"
"In fact, the idea has been thought of for a long time, but there has never been a ready-made script. As you know, I didn't take the college entrance examination in our country, but passed the SAT and went to the university I studied at USC. And the SAT is a test with unified questions, and there is a possibility of cheating across time zones due to the difference in time zones, which can be regarded as a benign suggestion for the SAT!
"Hello Director Li, why didn't you use Miss Yang Mi this time? Is there something wrong with your feelings?" Which media is this neurotic? Li Xiang saw that it was "Apple Magazine", so it was no wonder that the most notorious gossip magazine in Hong Kong had a very heavy taste, and many reports were extremely exaggerated.
"First of all, I have a good relationship with Mimi, the reason why she didn't star in "Genius Gunman" is also because of schedule conflicts and the role itself is not suitable! In addition, this is the launch conference of "Genius Gunman", I hope you will focus on the movie itself, thank you!" Li Xiang replied without humility or arrogance.
During the period, the media continued to interview, Li Xiang resolved them one by one, and the four people on both sides, such as Xiao Huang Xuan, were like mascots, no one was interested in these four little Meng Xin at all, and the faces of the four people were almost stiff when they smiled.
"Brother Xiao Xiang, no one interviewed us, I feel uncomfortable!" After the press conference, Xiao Xiao complained to Li Xiang.
"Don't be sad, they don't have vision, they don't know that you are gold, and when the movie is released, let them all be scared! Tell them that today you ignore my love, and tomorrow I will make you unclimbable!" Li Xiang smiled and comforted Xiaoxiao.
"Director Li has so much confidence in us, we can't live up to his expectations, Director Li, don't worry, I promise to play my role well and share your worries!"
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, on the campus of Wong Wat South Middle School, the students who had already completed the exam, although they had not yet had a holiday, no longer needed to come to school every day. The first scene of "Genius Gunman" is about to start filming!
