Chapter 101: Negotiation

In 2015, the Chinese film industry at that time had not yet reached the time to talk about the color change of Xiaoxian meat.

As one of the mythical beasts in the film marketing industry, Yang Mi made an extraordinary move, and "I Am a Witness" brought fresh meat to serve as Lu Han, which ensured that the box office could at least return to its original cost.

The hottest traffic at the moment is blessed!

In fact, you can't blame Yang Mi for being too much, she has to pull Hu Ge and Shen Lin to bundle up and hype.

It's really that the release schedule of "I Am a Witness" is not very good, look at the movie "Ant-Man" and "Elf Hotel 2" released at the same time, the latter is an animated movie after all, and the movie-watching group does not coincide very much.

But after that, there are "Predecessor Raiders 2" and "Moving Maze 2" will be launched soon, and "007: Ghost Party" will be released half a month later.

Therefore, there is only one week to circle money for "I Am a Witness".

Once within a week, "I Am a Witness" can't get back to its original cost or hit the word of mouth, it will definitely be a week trip to the theater.

It is estimated that Yang Mi has given up the word of mouth, so she will focus on hyping up the topic, so that everyone who cares about her or Lu Han will know that "I Am a Witness" has been released.

But it's not enough, after all, since this year, fan movies have become less and less appreciated, so she simply made a ruthless move, didn't there be a 'Song Mi Party' back then!

So…

By the way, she also followed He Yu's way and invited a group of celebrities in the circle to help earn money, and more than 30 friends such as Fan Ye, Wang Junkai, He Yu, Huang Xiaoming, and Feng Teddy helped forward the publicity;

secondly, I learned the roadshow strategy of "Pancake Man", and toured the roadshow in 14 cities in 11 days;

Finally, on the second day of the movie's release, Yang Mi wrote a long article "If You Give Me Three Days of Darkness" by more than 2,300 children, which was published in "Yilin", revealing her acting experience for the first time;

"I Am a Witness" broke 100 million in three days, and the bees said that 'Yang Mi's acting skills are remarkable'.

The word-of-mouth is also okay, with a Douban score of more than 6.5, setting a new high for Yang Mi starring in movies over the years!

By the way, there are also incidents of falling out with Tangtang and Guo Xiaosi!

"I Am a Witness" was released for a week and directly occupied the top of the Weibo hot discussion list for 12 days!

That's amazing!

It's useless, Yang Mi's audience favorability over the years has been almost overdrawn, although it broke 100 million in the first three days, and a bunch of fans screamed wildly, '"I Am a Witness" is a good movie, the conscience of domestic films! ’

On the first day of release, it won 32.57 million box office;

On October 31, the box office on the day reported 50.16 million;

On November 1, the box office received 37.74 million;

Three days later, the fan craze retreated, and the box office fell by as much as 50 percent, on November 2, despite having 27 percent of the film schedule, the box office was only 15.5 million, with the release of "Desperate Altitude" on November 3 and "Moving Maze 2" on November 4, the number of films scheduled for "I Am a Witness" dropped directly to about 15 percent, and the box office never exceeded 10 million again, especially on November 6, the release of "Predecessor 2" and "The Leftover is King", "I am a Witness" The film schedule has been directly reduced to less than 10%!

At this point, Yang Mi's first film journey was briefly retired.

As of November 13, the cumulative box office of "I Am a Witness", which has been released for two weeks, has reached 200 million.

It looks pretty good, but compared to other movies starring Yang Mi, this box office can be described as extremely bad!

What's more, Yang Mi's original wish to admit her acting skills has not been fulfilled.

Embarrassed!

What's even more embarrassing is that there is still a month later, "Sudden Star Movement", and the box office almost did not exceed 100 million...

……

On November 8, Hu Ge came to Beijing to shoot an advertisement and called Shen Lin to ask him to meet, and the latter happily went.

About a café.

chatted and chatted, and talked about Yang Mi's "I Am a Witness"

Shen Lin first complained about the bugs in the plot, and then briefly summarized the reasons for the box office failure: "Yang Mi has overconsumed the audience's favorability towards her over the years, and this year's movie she made has a "Sudden Star Movement", I dare to pack tickets, the box office will definitely create a new low!" ”

Hu Ge nodded and didn't speak, Shen Lin had no choice but to continue: "It is forgivable for an actor to have a few bad movies, but if eight out of ten are bad movies, it will inevitably give a bad impression to the moviegoers." "I Am a Witness" is actually not a bad movie, barely speaking, it can be regarded as a relatively good suspense and reasoning film, but because of Yang Mi, such a result is inevitable, you must know that there are many stars who make bad movies and don't shoot themselves! ”

"Shen Lin, I want to change to a brokerage company."

"Ahh

Hugo hasn't been very fit today.

In the past, most of the chats were between the two sides, but this time Shen Lin was not only dominant, but more often he was talking to himself.

suddenly spoke, which directly frightened Shen Lin.

Although he has always been very optimistic about Hu Ge and has always coveted him, he still scared Shen Lin a little when he said that he was going to terminate the contract so suddenly.

"Why?"

“… I can't act in TV series like this anymore, I need time to study, I need to make movies, but Tang Ren has always asked me to accept advertisements and endorsements, and Lao Cai also asked me to bring new people, I really..."

During this time, Hugo has been filming "The Hunting Ground".

In fact, since 2011, Hugo has been filming TV series.

"Shangri-La", "Modern New Human", "The Invulnerable Masters Like a Forest", "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of Heaven", "Apocalypse of Life", "Romance in the Wind", "Forty-Nine Days: Sacrifice", "The Pretender", "Langya Bang", "Good Times"

There are more than a dozen TV series in a row, and there are also movies "After Gorgeous", "Big Talk Fairy" and "Monster Hunt" invested by Shen Lin

Hugo was a man who longed for life, and he felt that he could not go on like this.

However, Tang Ren was unwilling to let him go like this.

finally took off again, of course, I had to shoot more advertisements, make more endorsements, act in a few more Tang Ren's plays, and bring my younger brothers and sisters.

He was dissatisfied, but he couldn't refuse.

Cai Yilong treated him, he had nothing to say, when he was disfigured in a car accident, Cai Yilong directly stopped filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and waited for him to recover!

After that, he said that he wanted to act in a drama to enrich himself, and Cai Yilong was definitely unhappy, but he agreed.

At that time, Lao Cai wanted him to shoot "Sword and Fairy Five" with the company's newcomers!

Now he feels that he needs to settle down a little more, and is ready to go to the United States for two years of study.

Lao Cai thought he was crazy.

Sick, right? It's hard to catch fire again, why do you have to toss yourself so much?

He had a big quarrel with Cai Yi, and then came to the capital.

"I always feel that line skills are the most basic requirement for an actor, so I don't want to cooperate with some Xiaohuadan, traffic Xiaosheng and the like."

Shen Lin nodded, agreeing with Hu Ge's idea: "However, after you come to my studio, I will sign a long-term contract with you for at least ten years, because I am going to shoot nine parts of "Tomb Robbery Notes"!" ”

"Tomb Robbery Notes?"

"Well, in fact, if you don't come, I'm also going to find you to play the leading role, as well as Jin Dong and Chen Daoming!"

"What about what I studied?"

“… Now the special effects have almost come out, I am ready to shoot three films in a row, and it is estimated that the first one will be released at the end of next year, so you will definitely not be able to study in the first half of next year, as for advertising, endorsements and the like, you are free, I don't care..."

"Then what else can I play besides "Notes on Tomb Robbery"?"

"Hehe, if you are really willing to sign the brokerage contract to our studio, I will contact Disney to shoot you a Hollywood A-level production, of course, it must be a supporting role at the beginning."
