Chapter 45: This is the era of commercial films!
Burst!
What do you mean by 'not bad... Better than you thought it would be?'
How bad do you imagine "Rizhao Chongqing"?
Or do you have nothing else to compliment?
"That only proves that people's confidence in me is not as strong as my confidence in myself. Recommended: The new work of the god of the rain "S.H.I.E.L.D. Vulcan":"
Wang Xiaoshuai also walked out of the movie palace with a smile on his face.
"I chose this subject because I think people born after the 80s in China simply don't want to take the time to look back and think about the past. Nor does this kind of thinking make any sense to them. They don't want to dream, they don't want to hope, they just want real value. So, the main thing I want to do in this film is to think about the question, who made them like this?"
Wang Xiaoshuai talked eloquently to the reporter in front of him.
"Actually, I have this problem myself, although my son is still young, he already shows signs of "rebellion". ”
Those reporters, you look at me, I look at you, one of them asked stubbornly: "Have you considered the domestic box office results of "Rizhao Chongqing"?"
"No, I will always stick to the belief of making serious art films, I will always be a farmer who reclaims the wilderness!"
"However, the investment in this film is as high as 30 million, if the cost is not recovered through the market?"
"Movies are first and foremost movies, don't think about the market first, and don't think about the audience!"
Fan Bingbing was completely stunned...
Paralyzed, the old lady seems to have gotten on a thief ship.
Doesn't it mean that this thing is a 'business transformation'?
"But I paid for it! And it's a lot of money, you can't just say that a movie just made my 30 million go down the drain!"
Before the reporter could ask again, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses walked over next to Wang Xiaoshuai, and scolded directly in front of the reporter: "The book of "Rizhao Chongqing" is obviously a suspense theme, you can actually make such a movie into a literary film!"
"After the first version of the sample was cut out, I was a little dumbfounded, I watched it for ten minutes and came out, and I was able to cut it into a documentary, and I saw that the actors kept walking, how can there be any commercial elements?"
The latter sentence is complaining to reporters.
"Then, Mr. Han, can the movie successfully recover its costs?"
The reporter obviously recognized this, Han Xiaoxi, the general manager of the producer of "Rizhao Chongqing".
"In addition to the income from overseas films, the domestic box office must be at least 50 million yuan to recover the cost. ”
Han Xiaoxi did not give his old classmate face at all, and did not hide his disappointment in "Rizhao Chongqing" at all.
“… Mr. Han..."
Before the reporter could ask again, a group of people rushed out from the direction of the movie palace, and the speed was very fast, rushing directly to the ticket window, speaking half-baked Chinese: "Huang Feihong"
Accompanied by a loud discussion voice from a bunch of international students: "Wow! I really want to worship Huang Feihong as a teacher!"
"Hey, do you think there are still such kung fu masters in our country?"
"I want to see it again!"
"This kind of 'kung fu movie' is so good!" - "Of course, I don't look at who made it!"
Of course, there are also things like "Huang Feihong is so handsome!", "Aunt Thirteen is so beautiful!", etc...
After a while, the ticket window was already full of fans, and some people kept calling: "! Come on! I'll tell you that this movie is definitely beyond your imagination, if you don't watch it, I'm sure you'll regret it!"
The scene became a mess.
After a while, several familiar domestic media outlets came out.
Excitement was written on their faces.
From time to time, something is discussed.
"This is the real kung fu movie!"
"It's finally going to be a classic!"
"I estimate that the domestic box office of this movie may break one billion!"
"Haha, do you say that we, as the first batch of witnesses, have a feeling of witnessing history?"
Several reporters who had been surrounding Wang Xiaoshuai looked at each other again, and rushed towards the direction of the movie palace, a few walked up to their peers and asked about the general situation of "Huang Feihong", and a few caught the international students who were queuing up and inquired.
In a few seconds, there were only a few people left in the crew of "Rizhao Chongqing".
“… What is this 'Once Upon a Time'?"
Han Xiaoxi asked with curiosity.
"It should be Xu Hui's movie..."
Fan Bingbing glanced at Wang Xiaoshuai, whose face was pale, and still replied.
"Xu Hui, the one who made commercial films?"
Han Xiaoxi muttered: "... But how can Chinese commercial films make these French people so excited? Don't you say......"
“… How can the French watch Chinese commercial films, don't you watch them all Chinese students!"
Wang Xiaoshuai couldn't help but interject: "The French are the most arrogant film nation in the world, they..."
As he was talking, Wang Xiaoshuai saw Xu Hui, who was surrounded by a group of foreign media, walk out of the movie palace, with a warm smile on his face, and the foreigners were so excited that they almost stuffed the microphone into Xu Hui's mouth...
It's embarrassing...
What's even more embarrassing, Xu Hui seemed to notice Wang Xiaoshuai not far away, he just glanced at it lightly, and then withdrew his gaze...
Damn, there's no more humiliation than this!
……
"Just received the message,"
Chen Jingshen had an excited expression on his face, and continued: "The noon screening of "Once Upon a Time" directly crowded more than 5,000 spectators in line, and only one-third of them entered the final venue, and the organizing committee suggested that we increase the number of screenings. ”
"So many people?"
"What about your opinion?"
Chen Jingshen asked.
Regarding the film transaction, Xu Hui may not be very proficient, but once it comes to film promotion, this product is like a hanging, a bunch of ideas!
Xu Hui frowned slightly, thought for a while, and didn't say until he left the hotel, "Maintain the current scale of screenings and let the domestic media increase on-site coverage." Spread this pomp and circumstance across the country!"
Chen Jingshen nodded and immediately called the company to make arrangements.
A few minutes later, a bunch of advertorials appeared on the Internet in China.
"Once Upon a Time detonated Cannes, a ticket is hard to find!"
"The venue was full, and the main committee had to add 8 screenings, but it still couldn't satisfy the enthusiastic French audience!"
"The audience claimed, 'I've never seen such a good kung fu movie!'"
Obviously, this is a hot spot for the release of "Once Upon a Time".
It was released in China on the 21st and ended in Cannes on the 19th, Xu Hui didn't have much time to promote it at all, and could only warm up the market through the response of Cannes.
As for why he left the hotel, it was clear that he needed exposure.
During this time, with the release of "Once Upon a Time" in Cannes, his fame grew, and at this time, he had to cooperate with the reporters' schedules in order to facilitate the promotion of the film!
This is the tacit understanding between the paparazzi and the stars during the film festival.
