Hollywood's layout is extremely forward-looking.

The Marvel Universe plan, which has been laid out since 06, has been insisting on it, and the mainland box office of "American Team 1" was only more than 60 million, almost not squeezing into the top 30 of the domestic box office year!

Then, after various baptisms of "Iron Man", "Thor" and "The Avengers", the world is full of Marvel fans, and the same is true in China!

"American Team 3" was released on May 6.

As expected, the box office was 250 million on the same day, and the cumulative box office in three days was 642 million!

It has created Disney's best results in China.

Domestic movies have been beaten to the north at all, and even the well-known "Hot Pot Hero" has been squeezed out of the number of films, and there is no box office without film scheduling, and the single-day box office of "Hot Pot Hero" has dropped to about 10 million since May 6th.

This is still the best-performing domestic film, with the blessing of an Oscar-winning actress.

As for "North West 2" or something, the amount of face films that have been squeezed for a long time has dropped to less than five percent, and it is not far from the next gear.

……

"July and Ansheng" is the first youth film independently produced and released by Zhao Liying's studio, and the relationship with Shen Lin is almost zero, the screenwriter is Annie Baby, the director Chen Yang, I almost forgot, Shen Lin is a famous producer, and the actors are also selected by him.

But to be honest, this is a work that has a very distant relationship with Shen Lin, in the past movies directed by Chen Yang, although Shen Lin is also a famous producer, he will definitely serve as a screenwriter.

If a company wants to develop, it must be separated from the influence of a certain individual, especially a film and television company, and if Zhao Liying's studio wants to go further, it must strip away Shen Lin's influence.

"July and Ansheng" is an attempt!

From Fang Jianhao to Shen Lin, they all attach great importance to it.

Therefore, the choice of schedule is particularly important.

"Why don't we set a summer file, anyway, there are no good movies in the summer file."

Fang Jianhao looked through the latest movie schedule.

“… Isn't it okay to have a National Day file? I want this movie to have a head-on PK with Guo Xiaosi. ”

Shen Lin also has an identical movie schedule in his hand, although this thing is not accurate, movies are raised and transferred from time to time, but it still has a certain reference value!

"..."Love Saint" has been set for the National Day!"

Fang Jianhao glanced at Shen Lin, his eyes were full of contempt.

"I... I forgot..."

Shen Lin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Then let's set it for July, and you can study the specific date." ”

"Okay."

Fang Jianhao closed the schedule in his hand, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Linzi, you have to go to the Xining Film Festival next month." ”

"Yes, it's my first time as a judge..."

In fact, Golden Rooster and Golden Horse have invited Shen Lin to be a judge, and even the Toronto Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival have also sent invitations, all of which have been rejected by Shen Lin.

The reason is simple, not available!

The Xining Film Festival has been looking for Shen Lin since the year before last, Lin Shao really doesn't have time, in fact, he is not available this year, June is just the time for the filming of "La La Land".

To participate in a film festival, and to be a judge, it takes at least half a month.

From watching the film to the primary selection, to deciding the results, there are all kinds of quarrels with a bunch of veterans!

However, he has already agreed, and he should still take a look at the 20 million special film funds every year.

As for "La La Land", with Mianda staring, it shouldn't be a big problem.

This is also a very important reason why he agreed to co-direct "La La Land" with Mianda.

"It's best to dig up a few more directors, our company is not short of actors and scripts now, but there is a shortage of good directors!"

Fang Jianhao looked at Shen Lin seriously.

“… All film and television companies in the mainland are short of good directors, okay! ”

Shen Lin rolled his eyes, if it weren't for the scarcity of good directors, how could it be the turn of obvious laymen like Guo Xiaosi and He Yu!

"I really hope that our company can always stand and make money, what happened yesterday made me very uncomfortable!"

“… What's up? ”

Looking at Fang Jianhao with all kinds of emotion, Shen Lin didn't know what he was talking about at all.

"You don't know yet? Fang Li, the general manager of Laurey Film and Television, knelt down during the live broadcast last night and begged the theater to arrange the film for "Hundred Birds and Phoenix", the old man is old, and he still has to do this kind of thing, it's really sad to think about it! ”

Fang Li, "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", kneeling, Shen Lin finally remembered this matter!

……

It's probably because it's been too long since he was reborn, and Shen Lin has almost forgotten many things.

Fang Li knelt down and begged major theaters to schedule films for "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", which shocked the entire Chinese film industry at the beginning!

Here's the thing.

"A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" is the work of the fourth-generation director Wu Tianming, after filming this work, the master passed away, and "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" became his posthumous work.

It's a pity that the master's posthumous work is just a very pure and niche literary film about suona culture, and the film and television companies with brains probably choose to refuse to release it.

It's very simple, to release a movie, it takes at least hundreds of thousands of publicity fees, and this movie is a money-losing product at first glance, so do you think there will be companies willing to release a movie with kindness and the purpose of losing money?

Wu Tianming's family approached Fang Li and asked him to help distribute the film.

Who is Fang Li?

The Godfather of Chinese Underground Cinema!

This gentleman especially loves domestic literary films, and invested in "Anyang Baby", "Days and Nights", "Red Face" and "Summer Palace"!

Invest one and lose one, he learned smartly and knew that he was looking for stars, so he started from "Apple" and continuously invested in "Guanyin Mountain" and "Second Exposure"...

Forget it, you can go to his mother by yourself with his resume!

In short, Fang Li is a person who loves literary films, in addition to the official, Fang Li is the most suitable candidate!

When "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" was screened internally, peers gave high praise, and on the day of the release, half of the entertainment industry in the real sense came to celebrate.

Who is Wu Tianming?

He is a master of the fourth generation of Chinese films, and he is as famous as Xie Jin, but the difference is that Mr. Wu Tianming has been rooted in Xi'an Film Studio all his life.

excavated and cultivated the fifth generation of film masters, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin, Zhou Xiaowen, Gu Changwei, etc. were all cultivated by him.

Coupled with Fang Li's connections, "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" is Wu Tianming's posthumous work, so you can imagine how many people will cheer on the day of the premiere.

Even Ang Lee sent a video email on the spot, telling the story of him and Wu Tianming.

It's a pity that it's useless, theaters can't watch such a movie, and "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" is so good that it won't die and "American Team 3" will be released on the same day!

Hehe, you can imagine how miserable this box office will be.

Indeed, within a week of its release, although "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" had a good reputation, and several major professional film review websites gave a score of eight points, the number of films in theaters has always remained around one percent, and the cumulative box office is less than three million!

A week after its release, the film's schedule has been as low as 0.6%, and most of the screenings are scheduled after 10 o'clock in the morning or evening, facing the crisis of imminent release.

On May 13th, Fang Li directly knelt down in a live broadcast and begged the theater to give "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" a little more film scheduling, and give more support to Chinese literary films.
