Chapter 179: Pre-sale Results

"Could she be a little too exotic?"

Yu Kuizhi raised another concern.

Set Dongfang Undefeated is the leader of the Miao people, find a Han girl to play, there is no problem, the appearance of the Miao people is not much different from ours, but the new * Xinjiang girl is different.

The facial features are too three-dimensional, a typical exotic style!

“… This doesn't matter, the current makeup technology, even Chinese can turn into foreigners, and I can modify the setting slightly!"

Pao Hui has decided that it is hot, so modify the plot according to her appearance.

Anyway, Dongfang is the first in the world as soon as he is undefeated, and no one cares about his origin.

"Okay, your movie is up to you!"

Wu Jing didn't want to say anything, got up and prepared to leave.

“… Where to go?"

"Back to Huairou, the crew is still filming!"

Wu Jing explained casually.

“… Is it so urgent? Is the cycle tight?"

"There's enough time, most of the filming is over, now all that's left is some make-ups..."

Wu Jing didn't continue, Xu Hui already understood, it was nothing more than worrying about the crew.

is also the first time to command such a large crew, as the director and starring, Wu Jing must do his best.

“… Don't worry, I promise to see you next summer!"

Seeing Xu Hui's silence, Wu Jing thought he was worried about the progress.

"I'm not worried about that, I just want to say it's rare to see you, why don't we find a place to have a drink?"

"Forget it, I've got to finish this play... Where did you get the time to drink with me? Aren't your movies going to be released too? The opponent is Zhang Yimou!"

“… I've done everything I need to do, and the rest is up to the audience!"

Xu Hui spread his hands.

It's true, he is just a director, and it is impossible to force the audience into the theater to watch the movie!

"Director Xu..."

Lu Yang spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"I read a few scripts you gave me two days ago, and I think "Dao Ma Dan" is very good, I want to try it!"

""Sword and Horse"?"

Xu Hui was entangled for a moment, how to say it, "Dao Ma Dan" is Xu Laowei's early masterpiece, and he is still very interested in shooting it himself.

"Okay, but I have to wait for the filming of "Undefeated in the East" to be completed, and I want to let Reba play the role of Cao Yun!"

“… Are you sure she's willing to cut off her long hair?"

"An actor is not even willing to make this sacrifice for the sake of the role, so he simply doesn't want to be an actor!"

""Sword and Horse"?"

It was Mr. Yu Kuizhi who asked.

As a famous actor in Peking Opera, he is very interested in this term.

'Dao Ma Dan' itself is one of the roles of "Dan" in Peking Opera, which refers to women who specialize in heroines, carrying swords and riding horses, and women with strong martial arts, most of whom are marshals or generals, so they are known for their momentum, such as Fan Lihua, Mu Guiying, etc.

"It's about the love of children in troubled times, and the three protagonists are all women..."

Xu Hui briefly said the plot of "Dao Ma Dan", and added at the end: "When the time comes, I will ask Teacher Yu for more guidance!"

"Well said, well said!"

……

The audition ended, and the hot bar won the role, although it was a little depressed, but it was quite happy for the little sister.

is still the same sentence, at that time, they didn't know what "Undefeated in the East" meant.

However, it must be a lot harder during this time, on the one hand, the filming of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" cannot be stopped, and on the other hand, it has to receive professional training from Yu Kuizhi.

Yu Kuizhi chose one from his apprentices to stay with the hot bar in the crew of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor"...

The hardest role has been chosen, and the other roles are much easier.

Linghu Chong, Xu Hui prepared to go on his own, Ren Yingying handed over to Yaya, and the other two brilliant female characters, the little junior sister and the blue phoenix were handed over to Yang Zi and Wang Zhi respectively, and the role of Yang Shishi was given to Nazha.

It's another work within Huiwen World!

In addition to letting me go, uh, Xu Hui is ready to find Mr. Wu Gang again...

……

On the 13th, the news of the positive PK of "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" has flooded the entire Internet, and you can see a bunch of reports at your fingertips.

"The pre-sale schedule of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is weaker than that of "New Dragon Gate Inn""

""Dragon Gate" and "Thirteen Hairpins" will not be officially released until the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, but the showdown between the two has already begun. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the cinemas in Beijing, Yangcheng and Shanghai that the pre-sale of "Dragon Gate" took the lead in this Chinese New Year war, and "Dragon Gate", which was released a few hours earlier than "Thirteen Hairpins", had a slight advantage in film scheduling. In terms of ticket prices, the average price of "Thirteen Hairpins" in the prime time of popular theaters remained at about 82 yuan, and the ticket price of "Dragon Gate" remained at about 100 yuan due to the 3D and IMAX versions. ”

According to the data provided by the distributor of "Dragon Gate", today's national film schedule exceeds that of "Thirteen Hairpins" by 50%. ”

Liu Hui, manager of Beijing Huaxing UME, who is good at IMAX screening, told reporters that "Dragon Gate" is shot by a 3D camera, plus the IMAX version, so it has received more attention in the theater, and the length of "Dragon Gate" is short, and the number of films in the theater is naturally more, and "Thirteen Hairpins" will be released four hours later, which will inevitably have a loss in the film schedule. ”

After "New Dragon Gate Inn" was confirmed to land in theaters in IMAX and 3D, "Thirteen Hairpins" also directly said: The audience will definitely see the film in IMAX theaters! When "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" moved the release date to six o'clock in the evening of the 15th, "New Dragon Gate Inn" also followed, and the release date was advanced to two o'clock in the afternoon of the 15th, four hours earlier than "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and what is even more surprising is that even the premieres of the two films are scheduled on the same day. ”

On the 14th, on the eve of the release of the movie, the pre-sale results of the two works were released, and the results were a bit surprising.

"New Dragon Gate Inn" crushed "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" with a pre-sale score of nearly 60 million, and the latter's pre-sale result was only 32 million!

Obviously, although Zhang Yimou's awareness is a little higher than Xu Hui, his audience is far behind Xu Hui.

In addition, Huiwen Cinema really screened "New Dragon Gate Inn" at a 100% film scheduling rate, which was a big blow to "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"!

Zhang Weipin couldn't sit still.

"I think "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" has set a record, Hollywood first-line stars have come to work! Chinese films have been around for more than 100 years, when did Chinese films invite Hollywood front-line workers to work here, have they not? Aren't all your directors going to Hollywood to work for people? This is the pride of the nation!"

"We invited Hollywood's top production team to China this time to create a Hollywood blockbuster with us, not Zhang Yimou went to Hollywood to shoot, Hollywood approached Zhang Yimou more than 10 years ago!"

By the way, by the way, Leonardo also took it out and used it: "Xiao Lizi made us the first candidate, but his image did not meet our expectations, so we found Bell, in fact, Bell is in Hollywood, in the United States, it is the same coffee position as Xiao Lizi!"

It's still those two sets, advocating Zhang Yimou and advocating Bell!

Pao Hui responded simply: "In the land of China, my movies have never lost!"
