164 Chapter 164
As all fans expected, on the day of the premiere of "Hear the Wind", the box office was hot.
At 24 o'clock in the evening of the same day, when the box office of up to 11.6 billion was officially announced by the crew, this terrifying figure immediately caused countless media reports and at the same time, #ε¬θ§ι£ε£°#δΉη»δΈδΊε ¨η½ηζηεδΊεε.
You must know that a year and a half ago, the premiere box office of "Starlight", the current champion of literary films in the whole galaxy, was only about 6 billion, but "Hearing the Wind" is directly twice as much! The total box office of "Starlight" is more than hundreds of billions, which is an astronomical amount, and it has been recognized by the industry as a record of literary films that cannot be surpassed in ten years!
However, when the crew held a private celebration meeting, when producer Liang Xiao congratulated Director Chu, the female director shook her head and said: "Maybe it won't be 100 billion, after all, no one knows what kind of movie we are before the premiere." The general direction of the market is towards movies with fast-paced plots, and it is difficult to break this rule. β
Chu Xiaoqing is right, the publicity method chosen by "Hearing the Wind" this time is really like holding the pipa and half-covering his face. All the audience waited until they really watched the movie for a while before they suddenly understood that this was actually a literary film!
However, it is not entirely a literary film, but the general framework is the way of a literary film.
A year and a half ago, a phenomenal literary film "Starlight" was released, is there another "Hear the Wind" now?!
However, no one can predict what will happen in the future, and everyone in the crew did not think too much about it, and happily celebrated the success of the box office on the opening day. Later, Chu Xiaoqing, who had always been calm, also played with everyone, and a group of people went to several places to relax and celebrate, and it was not until the next morning that the celebration really dispersed.
Director Chu's premiere was simple, and the celebration was also very simple. It is precisely because it is so simple that no media is invited, no other producers in the circle are invited, that everyone can celebrate so easily.
After the celebration, Raymond was about to catch the Starship in the morning, so he said goodbye to everyone. Before leaving, he pulled Chu Yan aside and said softly: "Xiao Yan, although I didn't get the opportunity to cooperate with Gu Shenze this time, I am very happy to get the opportunity to cooperate with you. β
Hearing this, Chu Yan remembered what the other party said a few months ago when he saw this super actor for the first time on A-2 Film and Television Planet, so he asked with a smile: "Then Raymond, until now, have you found a way to break through the bottleneck?" β
Raymond laughed, his blue eyes full of smiles, and he shook his head: "Where is it so simple." β
Chu Yan bowed his head clearly and did not say anything more.
However, when Raymond's assistant drove the hovercar over and was about to take Raymond to the interstellar transfer station, the handsome blonde guy suddenly grabbed Chu Yan's hand. The latter turned around in surprise, only to see the golden sunlight shining in the blue eyes, reflecting a clear light.
Raymond asked solemnly, "Xiao Yan, can you tell me...... What are your thoughts on text scripts and AI scripts? β
In a word, Chu Yan was stunned.
After a while, a gentle smile appeared on the young man's handsome and fair face, Chu Yan bent his eyes, looked at the friend in front of him, and said in a serious tone: "Once, I thought that AI scripts stifled the imagination of actors and lowered the threshold for becoming actors, but also lowered the ceiling for top actors. But now, Raymond, after working with you and Sister An, I slowly realize that everything must have a reason to survive. I agree with AI scripts, but I still pay more attention to text scripts. β
The young man's tone was firm and calm, and in the cool breeze of the morning, there was a sense of purity and joy.
Raymond looked at Chu Yan in a daze, and after a while, he nodded heavily, and then really got into the car, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "The day I defeat Gu Shenze and Oliver, Chu Yan, please eat!" β
Chu Yan bowed his head lightly: "A word is a certainty." β
The sun rises brightly from the eastern sky, and the capital star in December is not bitterly cold under the control of the weather control system, but it also has the coolness that must be seasonal. A tall and thin young man walks on the street, wearing a camel-colored coat, with a steady pace and an elegant temperament.
After a few minutes, the little assistant drove over and sent Chu Yan home.
This is the end of the celebration of the crew of "Hear the Wind", and from now on, it is unknown whether the crew can get together again.
The movie has only been released for the second day, and the hot box office has not weakened in the slightest. Although, as Chu Xiaoqing said, after knowing that "Hearing the Wind" was a literary film, many viewers gave up watching the movie, which made the box office of the movie on the second day less than the first day by 2 billion. However, the box office of "Hearing the Wind" is still nearly 10 billion!
On the third day, it officially broke 100 and reached a terrifying 10.3 billion!
On the fourth day, one hundred and fifty billion!
It only took four days for this literary film to surpass the second place in the "box office list of literary films", and there is less than 100 billion box office left from the first place "Starlight".
The media has begun to speculate whether it has recently arrived in the spring of literary films. Assuming that "Hearing the Wind" can really surpass the box office of "Starlight", it will be the era of the explosion of literary films after more than 30 years, and I am afraid that many directors will shoot literary films again and usher in the spring of literary films.
And whether it is "Starlight" or "Hearing the Wind", Chu Yan participated. In the former, he played the male number two, while in the latter he directly played the male number one!
The editor of an entertainment magazine even wrote in an article: "Perhaps this young actor is the box office elixir of literary films, and every literary film he shoots has a super-unimaginable box office and incredible reputation." Chu Yan, this name is accompanied by the popularity of "Starlight" and "Hearing the Wind", and is destined to become the favorite of many literary film directors, and become the new favorite of literary and artistic films in the fast-paced era. β
In this regard, Chu Yan's fans are: "......"
The new favorite peat!
Why is our family Chu Yanyan just a box office elixir for literary films? Our Chu Yanyan's commercial films are also very well shot!
See "Aurora" no!
It was a movie starring Chu Yanyan, with a box office of hundreds of billions! Just ask if you're afraid!!
However, although the reputation of "Hearing the Wind" is very good on the Internet and offline life, and the box office is also quite gratifying, this movie has not been the champion of the monthly box office list in China like Chu Yan's previous movies.
When "Hearing the Wind" was released, there were two top commercial films that were very popular, and with the crushing volume and box office, they rode the dust and left the following movies far behind. As a result, "Hearing the Wind" can only regrettably rank third, and has never been able to advance one place. It wasn't until one of the commercial films went offline that "Hearing the Wind" finally climbed to second place.
Although this result is regrettable to many people, no one will ridicule the box office ranking of "Hear the Wind".
The fact that a literary film can get such a result is enough to surprise anyone, even shocked. Even Tiansheng, the investor of "Hearing the Wind", did not expect that Chu Xiaoqing's film could have such a big commercial return.
Tiansheng originally just wanted to win awards with this movie, and the commercial film they mainly invested in this year was "Invasion of Darkness", but Chu Xiaoqing gave Tiansheng such a surprise result, which really made Xu Yurong overjoyed.
Twenty days after its release, the box office of "Hearing the Wind" on the Internet was a one-sided praise, and many old directors and old film critics in the industry also gave Chu Xiaoqing a very high evaluation, Han Lao even directly said on his Weibo: [I like "Hear the Wind" very much, Chu Xiaoqing is a very good director, I think, she is a well-deserved first female director in China. γ
In addition to Chu Xiaoqing's fame in the all-galaxy film industry reaching a peak, at the same time, with the popularity of "Hearing the Wind", Chu Yan's name has become even more popular. It's not a big deal to be on the 24-hour ranking list for two days in three days, and it is natural to often become the first, and even many netizens have put down their predictions-
[The next Chinese artist to become a super first-line artist must be Chu Yan! ] γ
Chu Yan's fans have always been relatively low-key, although they also feel in their hearts, "Hmph, my Chu Yanyan is so good, do you still need to say it", but they still looked calm on the surface, and just said lightly in the fan square: [Chu Yanyan makes a movie, let's go see it, it's that simple! γ
Speaking of fan squares, we have to mention the recently popular "Hill x Li Yue" and "Li Yue x Hill" cp.
- You have to ask, the heroine of "Hearing the Wind" is obviously Maria, and Li Yue likes Maria, why did you let Hill and Li Yue become CP?
This answer is so hurtful! Let's not talk about it.
In the movie, among the scenes that impressed the audience the most, one was the scene where Li Yue sat in the corner and cried silently, the other was the scene where he finally left the laboratory alone, and the scene where Hill was grief-stricken and finally died, as well as the scene of the cruel truth that is hard to forget.
Behind Maria, hundreds of black guns were pointed at this delicate and beautiful angel, and she trembled slightly, using the highest acting skills in her life to deceive the scientist in front of her.
She was smiling, like an angel, but where Li Yue couldn't see, her nails were tightly pinched into the flesh, and even after the small hole in the wall disappeared, the hatred in her eyes was like a monstrous flood, as if she wanted to cut the young man across the wall with a thousand knives, and it was not a pity to die.
That's it, you say that fans can also cute the cp "Li Yue x Maria"?
Of course, there are also people who cute this cp, saying that Maria will definitely be moved by Li Yue, that poem is really moving. But most people were still moved by Hill's "infatuation" with Li Yue.
What a single arrow!
"From the beginning to the end, I came to this lab because of you, and I died because of you. You only have Maria in your eyes, but when will you turn back and see me standing behind you? I am the person who knows you best, I am the one who cares about you the most, and I am your only friend β!"
The above excerpt is from the fanfic of a certain "Xili CP" big hand.
Chu Yan's fans are extremely enthusiastic about grain production, and they have even begun to find a Lalang match for "Rand x Wind Bully"! Rand is played by Raymond, and the wind bully is Chu Yanyan, although they didn't have a chance to meet in the first part of "Dark Invasion", but in the second and third parts, they can meet!
Moreover, this setting of goodbye in the afterlife is simply too emotional, okay!
So under the enthusiasm of the fans and the tears of the fans, the box office of "Hearing the Wind" is rising steadily, and seeing that in a few days, the commercial blockbuster that occupies the champion of the "monthly box office list" will be taken off the shelves, who expected, suddenly! "The Sound of Rocking Oars" was released.
This movie was made earlier than "Hear the Wind", but it was delayed for several months because of the soundtrack. The promotional film of the movie has already been watched countless times by enthusiastic fans, and after its official release, the box office of the movie exceeded 15 billion on the first day!
No one expected that "The Sound of the Paddle" would have such a high box office. Although on the second day, due to its literary film attributes, the box office of this movie also fell to 10 billion at once, no different from "Hearing the Wind", but it was like a hidden bomb, quietly lurking on the box office list of the month, as if it was going to compete with "Hear the Wind".
Before this day, I am afraid that no director in the whole of China could have imagined that one day, there would be two literary films to compete for the first place in the "box office list of the month".
The score of "The Sound of the Oars" on the film review network is actually 1.3 points lower than that of "Hearing the Wind", and many fans who have seen this movie also said that this movie is really a complete literary film, it is simply filmed specifically to win awards, and there are countless high-level photography techniques, which ordinary audiences can't understand at all.
However, "The Sound of Rocking Oars" can move the audience with just one point -
Countless bed scenes.
The ambiguous and dim riverside hut, the heavy panting of a man and the ambiguous murmur of a man, the sun shining on the surface of the lake, sparkling and dazzling, the light shining on the body of this pair of lovers, making them seem to be not in the world, nor in with their companions.
All that was left was the man in front of him who made him crazy and happy, and with the beautiful impact sound, it made people blush and heartbeat, and couldn't extricate themselves.
As an erotic film, "The Sound of the Paddle" is an E-grade film in China, and it requires people over 18 years old to watch it with their ID cards. And this is the first time that Gu Shenze and Bai Qiran have made such a large-scale movie, coupled with the recent love scandal between the two, it is beyond everyone's expectations that "Hearing the Wind" can compete with such a movie at the box office.
So after the super commercial film was taken off the shelves, what all the audience was looking forward to finally happened-
The championship battle for literary films!
On the first day, "Hear the Wind" ranked first at the box office.
The next day, it was still "Hearing the Wind".
On the third day, "The Sound of Rocking Oars" suddenly came up.
On the fourth day, "Hear the Wind" was not to be outdone and reached the top again.
β¦β¦
In such a coming-and-going process again and again, the audience is very happy to watch. Fans of both sides have brushed two, three, and four brushes...... Even n brushes, be sure to make your favorite movie a champion, and whatever the reason, this situation has allowed both films to benefit from it, and the box office has soared.
After all, it was released very early, and when "Hearing the Wind" was taken off the shelves, this movie won a box office of more than 200 billion, which surprised Chu Xiaoqing. And "The Sound of the Oars" has only been released for ten days at this time, but it has already won nearly 100 billion box office, and it is very difficult to say who has the highest total box office after that.
If the audience cares about the box office and whether the movie is good or not, then the actors and crew care about the trophies won by the movie.
"Hearing the Wind" was successfully shortlisted for the upcoming Golden Tripod Award, Golden Flower Award and Golden Prism Award, and even applied for the Jinsheng Award half a year later and the Oka Award half a year later, and it is very likely to be shortlisted. At the same time, its only rival in China in the past year, "The Sound of the Paddle", also applied for these awards, and it seems that the two films are destined to have a battle at the awards ceremony.
By this time it was February 3019, and the warm spring breeze passed through the window and gently blew the hair of the youth. Chu Yan was preparing today's dinner. I don't know when he started to love cooking.
If it was placed in ancient times, I am afraid that there would be a boring feudal saying such as "a gentleman is far away from cooking", but now, Chu Yan loves this matter very much.
It's a very happy thing to cook with your own hands and see the man eat what he has made, and this is a real home.
Sometimes He Baishen will also cook with his hands, but his skills can only be said to be average, far from Chu Yan's level, so the responsibility of being in charge of the family is mainly handed over to Chu Yan, and only in some special circumstances - such as when Chu Yan is so tired that he doesn't want to cook for β some reason, He Baishen will take over the burden and cook by himself.
Scooping the last spoonful of soup from the crockpot, Chu Yan walked to the restaurant with the bowl. There was a rustling sound at the gate, and when He Baishen came back, he looked up and saw his lover wearing a thin apron, bowing his head and putting the bowl.
The warm sunlight shines from the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the restaurant, and the sunset is just right, and the glow is brilliant, shining on the young people, making this scene infinitely beautiful. He Baishen looked at it for a while, and then quietly hooked the corners of his lips and walked into the room.
The two exchanged a soft kiss and began to eat dinner.
When the dish was finished, He Baishen took the initiative to help Chu Yan put the bowl into the automatic dishwasher, holding his lover's waist with one hand, and taking out a thin chip with the other, and gently placing it in the palm of the young man's palm.
Suddenly feeling the chip in his palm, Chu Yan raised his eyes in surprise and asked, "What is it?" β
He Baishen chuckled, leaned into his ear from behind Chu Yan, and exhaled hot breath: "The sound of the oars." β
As a star, it is inconvenient to go to the cinema to watch movies, and the result is that Chu Yan always watches some movies in a private theater with this man.
It's okay to say that old movies that have been released before, but if it's a movie that's being screened, it's not easy to get high-end film and television chips. Even He Baishen only got this chip half a month after the release of the paddle, and then he couldn't wait to hand it over to his young man, with a look of "you praise me".
Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh softly twice, and then raised his head to reflect a kiss on the man's lips.
"Let's go, go see this movie. I really want to know who is the real big winner at the Golden Tripod Awards a week later, "Hear the Wind" and "The Sound of Rocking Oars". β
In the silent and dark private theater, Chu Yan and He Baishen sat on the two sofa chairs in the center, seriously waiting for the opening of the movie. At first, it was relatively normal, there were no special scenes, but after ten minutes, Chu Yan was slightly stunned, his face was still calm, but countless barrages had already been brushed in his heart-
[Damn! If you don't agree with each other, you can get in the car!! γ
Yes, although Chu Yan has long known that there are a lot of bed scenes in this movie, he never expected that there would be so many of them! If it's an ordinary bed scene, it's just that, but this kind of plot has reached the level of semi-naked, and there are even some close-ups, which are probably shot by stand-ins.
The corners of Chu Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Of course, it's okay for him to watch such a movie alone, which is the most basic quality of an actor. But next to him, there is ......
"They're acting alike, with real guns?"
After coughing embarrassedly, Chu Yan slowed down his tone as much as possible, and said, "It shouldn't be possible to shoot live......
Xiaobai, who was taking a big bite of rice: "Ah Qiu, who said bad things about me!" β
The handsome man frowned tightly, and after looking at it for more than ten minutes, he shook his head lightly and said, "It should be true." β
Chu Yan was startled, almost choking himself with a mouthful of saliva, he said, "You think too much, it's just acting." As far as I know, such shots are too explicit, and there are close-ups, and most of the actors will choose to use stand-ins. β
And Chu Yan also knew that Xiaobai was very loyal to his lover, and it was impossible for him to be so ...... Ahem, the hidden parts are openly put in the movie.
He Bai's deep thin lips pursed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
After a few more minutes, he whispered, "The close-up is a stand-in, but ...... It should be true. β
Chu Yan's eyes widened in surprise, only to hear the man's deep voice sound: "Bai Qiran shouldn't have such acting skills yet, his expression during the bed scene is too deep in it, and there is a wonderful similarity to when you are in bed...... Forehead...... Feeling ......"
Chu Yan: "Hehe." β
He Baishen: "......"
Chu Yan: "Get out of here." β
He Baishen: "...... Roll horizontally, roll vertically? β
Chu Yan: "Hold the ball and roll it for me!! β
The man chuckled and said "um", and it just so happened that at this time, this movie full β of color β β was also coming to an end. When Chu Yan didn't pay attention, He Baishen suddenly turned off the projector, Chu Yan looked at him in surprise, and before he could react, he was thrown to the ground.
He Baishen whispered, "Well, let's roll together." β
Talking and talking, I don't agree with each other...... Then get out β β β~
A week later, Chu Yan wore a dress and came to the award ceremony of the Golden Tripod Awards with the crew of "Hearing the Wind". There were flashlights on the red carpet, and countless reporters frantically took pictures, taking a lot of photos for the award-winning popular crew of "Hear the Wind".
After Chu Yan officially entered the venue, he had just walked a few steps when he heard a familiar voice: "Hey, Xiao Yan!" Look here, look here! Eh, I'm here! I haven't seen you in a long time, why do you seem to have lost weight! Let me hug it, hahahaha! β
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Chu Yan's mouth twitched, and the so-called "hugging β the ball β rolling" a week ago resurfaced in front of him.
I don't want to see you at all, huh! (.. )
