Chapter 647, Jiang Yiran is engaged!
While the movie "Black Man" continues to refresh box office records in China, many foreign countries have also begun to release it.
Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and other Asian countries were released five days later than China, while the United Kingdom, the United States and some European countries were released a week later than China.
In some Asian countries, Chinese films are very marketable.
Especially in the golden age of Hong Kong films, Hong Kong films were screened the most in those countries.
Some Chinese stars are also influential in these Asian countries, such as the late superstar Leslie Cheung, a well-known Chinese singer in the Korean music scene, and is the best actor in a foreign language film at the Japan Film Critics Awards and the best actor at the Tokyo Film Critics Awards.
With the development of the times, now Japanese and Korean stars are counterattacking China, but some famous figures in Huaxia, such as Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Takeshi Kaneshiro and others still have extensive influence there.
"The new work of director Wu Linlin, a master of violent aesthetics——"
"Black Man, a hero from ancient China-"
""Black Man", he is the superman of Huaxia, of course, he doesn't wear underwear backwards-"-
These are the slogans put up by distribution companies in the United States to attract the American public to the theaters to watch the film.
On the first day, the 800 screens were only 60 percent occupied.
It's a good and not bad result, and the performance is decent. However, because of the good reputation of the moviegoers, the attendance rate reached 80% on the second day.
After the attendance rate reached 80 percent, the theater also felt that the film was profitable, so they increased the number of films.
On the third day, the number of screens showing "Black Man" increased to 2,000. Eighty percent attendance. On the fourth day, the number of screens had reached 3,800, and the attendance rate was still 80 percent.
Universal Pictures. Although the film and television company ranked second among the eight major Hollywood studios and became the most profitable film company in Hollywood during the company's inception, the company was not only the most profitable film company in Hollywood during its inception, but because of its founder, Carl ? Lymer ran the company with only its own funds and did not have a strong chain of cinemas, and by the mid-twenties it had handed over the number one position to MGM. In the nearly 100 years since, he has become a second-class citizen of Hollywood.
Donald is the Head of Distribution at Universal Pictures, where he is responsible for the distribution and promotion of the film. Of course, Universal Pictures is not the only distribution department of him. Everyone has their own role and competes with each other.
However, the movie "Black Man" is operated by their department.
Donald sat behind his desk, and across from him was his beautiful assistant, Ellie.
Ellie is not only beautiful, but also extremely talented in film marketing.
"We are positioned wrongly." Ellie said. "We underestimated Wu's influence in the U.S. and European markets."
"No, it was Wu who surprised us." Donald said. "This is not the first time we have worked with Huaxia. I've brought in some of the so-called blockbusters they've made before, but -- you know. The box office was very unsatisfactory. We'd be willing to give him more screens to schedule, but the cunning movie theater owners wouldn't agree. What they need are movies that can have the audience pay for them. Obviously, there are very few Chinese films that they can accept and are willing to enjoy in the cinema. After so many years, in addition to a "Farewell My Concubine" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by An, how many more movies have received such praise? ”
"But this time it's different." Ellie said. "It's really a good movie. That's enough. And now you already know the situation, everyone is willing to pay for this movie. ”
"Yes. That's why I called you over. Donald said. He is very good at following the advice of his subordinates. "I'm going to leave the movie "Black Man" to you. What do you think? ”
Ellie looked agitated and asked, "How much authority do I have?" ”
"All resources for you to mobilize." Donald said. "It's like you did with The Mummy Seven."
"I'm not going to let you down." Ellie said with a serious face.
"Ellie, you've never let me down." Donald said with a smile.
It is not only Universal Pictures that has been shocked, but also studios in other countries that have introduced the film have also adjusted their promotional strategies due to the strong box office performance.
In this way, "Black Man" is not only unique in China, but also in full bloom all over the world.
When "Black Man" continued to be popular, Tang Zhong had already entered the film crew of "Long Live My Father-in-law". This is the time agreed with Director Feng Dagang before.
I have to say that because of the anti-sky performance of "Black Man", it also inspired the main creators of "Long Live Father-in-law". They believe that what "Black Man" can do, "Long Live Father-in-law" can also do.
The first movie broke a billion box office, which is really incredible.
Therefore, Feng Dagang showed off his accurate vision in front of people more than once, and signed a contract with him when others were not optimistic about Tang Chong. If we wait until now, I am afraid that the price paid will be several times or even more than ten times the current one.
Of course, he is now a partner with Tang Chong. The box office is high, he earns a lot, and Tang Chong also earns a lot personally. The box office is low, he earns less, and Tang Chong also earns less. However, with the billion-dollar box office foundation of "Black Man", how low can the box office of "Long Live My Father-in-law" be?
Besides, Feng Dagang is also an arrogant person. Wu Forest boldly enabled the two newcomers to get a billion box office, his "Long Live Father-in-law" has the box office Dinghai God Needle You, the national goddess Zhang Shangxin, and Tang Chong, the popular king, what reason is there that their box office will not be as good as "Black Man"?
There is no reason for this.
The director's fame, he is not inferior. Staffing, he is stronger. Moreover, he will put this movie on this year's Spring Festival as a Chinese New Year film. This is the best time of the year. The time and place are favorable, and he has all taken possession of them.
Therefore, now Feng Dagang and even the entire crew all regard Tang Zhong as a 'mascot', as if as long as Tang Chong is there, their box office will definitely not be low.
You see, he previously threatened that the box office of "Black Man" would exceed one billion. At the time, everyone thought it was a joke. The box office of the first three "Black Heroes" together is less than one billion, why can you get a billion box office as a newcomer?
Now, he has threatened that the box office of "Long Live My Father-in-law" can exceed one billion. Then, "Long Live Father-in-law" may really be over a billion.
Thinking that they might have to create a billion-dollar box office movie by themselves, everyone's mental state is extremely high, and they work extremely hard. Producer and director Feng Dagang is very satisfied with all this. knew that the crew could have such a momentum because of Tang Chong, and treated Tang Chong even more politely. Every time he is interviewed by reporters, he compares Tang Zhong and Ge You.
In the play, Tang Zhong plays a teacher. I always like to teach students, point out their mistakes and ask them to correct them. Now he followed his girlfriend Zhang Shangxin back to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he was made difficult by his father-in-law, who had a more demanding personality. Coupled with the obstruction of the philistine mother-in-law, their road to love is hilarious and difficult.
Zhang Shangxin is busy with her world tour and will not be able to join the group until the end of the month. Therefore, now the director will shoot other people's scenes first.
The main scenes of this movie are focused on Tang Zhong and Ge You, and the big fight between the two is the best of the whole play. Ge You is worthy of being a national treasure-level actor, he glanced at the script, and then lay down on the rattan chair and fell asleep. When he woke up, he had already eaten this line thoroughly, and he was able to perform it with ease.
He never said anything to Tang Chong's performance, Tang Chong passed, and he also passed. Tang Chong came, and he also followed the remake. When I performed, I was very serious and serious, and I laughed after the performance, and I didn't have any temper.
Tang Zhong consulted him twice as a junior, and he said that this is a talent, and he must rely on his own understanding. Tang Zhong understood what he meant, so he didn't bother anymore. I worked hard to substitute myself into this role, and I wanted to rely on my own understanding to learn this role well.
However, it is indeed not easy to compete with actors.
Tang Zhong didn't want to have a situation where everyone completely ignored Ge You's existence after seeing him. He is also an entertainer with aspirations.
When he was free on the set, Tang Chong chatted with Ge You and Feng Dagang. Don't talk about the script, just the nonsense of the world.
Ge You is very knowledgeable, Feng Dagang has traveled from south to north, both of them have been in the entertainment industry for half their lives, and they are very profitable, and they will never feel bored when they speak.
A scene was finally passed, Tang Zhong took the mineral water bottle handed over by the assistant and was unscrewing the cap to drink water, when the assistant came over with his mobile phone.
He took the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered it with a puzzled look.
The call was made by Jiang Keren. It made him weird. Because, if there is nothing to do, Jiang Keren rarely calls him. Even when they called, they didn't know what to say, so they hung up in a hurry.
"It's me." Tang Zhong said loudly.
"Hmm. Filming is hard, right? Jiang Keren's voice came. It's very calm, but the feelings contained in it can be clearly felt by Tang Chong.
"It's not hard." Tang Zhong said.
"I'll be back tomorrow." Jiang Keren said.
"What's the matter?" Tang Zhong asked strangely. When I go back, I naturally go back to Yanjing. If there was nothing going on, it would be impossible for Jiang Keren to let him go back. She knew that she didn't get along very well with those people in the Yanjing Jiang family.
"Yiran is getting engaged." Jiang Keren said.
"Jiang Yiran is engaged? And with whom? The smile on Tang Chong's face became strange. (To be continued)
