Although the enthusiasm for the construction of cinemas in the mainland is very high, and the number of screens has soared from 1,000 five years ago to 4,000 today, surpassing 3,000 in Japan, there is still a huge gap with the more than 300000 screens in North America.

Relying on the construction of cinemas, there have been 34 cinema lines in China, and many of them already have nearly 100 cinemas, with strong competitiveness, and there are only a dozen cinemas in the poor, and their influence is limited to the local area.

According to statistics, the box office of mainland films reached 4.3 billion yuan last year, driven by 34 cinema chains, of which 10 cinema chains earned more than 100 million yuan, and the top 10 cinema chains had a total box office of 3.1 billion, accounting for 72% of the total box office.

Chen Li reported to He Mu that seven of the top ten cinema lines last year were opened by him, but the support was not strong, after all, it was a small-budget film with an unknown director, and it was more or less aimed at He Mu's meager box office appeal that "The Assembly" was completed, and the bosses of the eight major cinemas went to congratulate him in person, and supported the film with a clear banner. The release of "Shop" is much shabby.

Unhappiness comes from comparison, and happiness also comes from comparison, although it is not as good as "Assembly", but compared with the many domestic movies that cannot be in theaters at all or can only "go on a day trip to theaters", the investment scale of "Night. "Shop" is already very gratifying, not to mention the scale of 400 screens, even if it can't be reached, it is only 300. That was also a huge win.

Cinemas, it would be nice if you had a cinema. He Mu always thinks like this sometimes, but he just thinks about it. The cinema chain is played by the rich and big capitalists, and even with the leading position of Huayi Brothers in the industry, it is only to build one or two movie theaters to play.

Now far from "Night. It has been more than ten days since the release of "Shop", while Chen Li is striving for the support of the theater side, the publicity work of the film has not been slack, and several sets of stills and movie posters have been announced, and the new trailer has also met with the audience through the Internet. Used to play "Night. Shop", so now He Mu especially hopes that "Racing" can achieve good box office results, and more people go to the theater to watch "Racing". There are more people who know the Tao of "Night. Shop", the two films have a similar audience of moviegoers, which still has a certain role in promoting the box office of the film, provided that "Racing" has a good box office.

For this reason, He Mu secretly went to watch it after the release of "Racing". After reading it, he was relieved. This movie has a scale of at least 50 million, and this advertisement is worth it!

The film continues the multi-line narrative method that director Ning Hao is good at, and there are more clues, although it is not as elaborately conceived as "Crazy Stone", but it is more sophisticated, and the picture effect is far from being comparable to "Stone" shot with DV. The shop is a lot stronger.

When coming out of the cinema. He Mu saw many parents queuing up with their children to buy tickets, they definitely didn't want to watch "Crazy Racing". He Mu glanced at the huge poster of the theater - "Joyful and Big Big Wolf: The Bull is Angry", which is really a bit unpredictable.

Last week, as the film version of the popular domestic animation "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Bull Spirit" entered the film market in a low-key manner, but who knew that it caused a box office blowout, with the box office exceeding 18 million in the first three days, and its production cost was only 6 million, and the most terrifying thing is that the average attendance rate of the film that week reached an astonishing 120 people per game, even if "Red Cliff. The box office of "Next" exceeded 100 million in the first week, but the attendance rate was only 100 people per game, and the attendance rate of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" set a single-week box office record was only more than 90, far less than "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

In the second week, major theaters hurriedly bought copies, and the film schedule also surged, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is still undiminished, although the film market is still in the third week of "Red Cliff. "Down" is leading the trend, but "Crazy Stone" and "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Bull is Angry", one is expected to be good, and the other is unexpectedly good. "Down" caused a great impact, "Red Cliff. The box office of "Up" has exceeded 200 million in two weeks, but the next two weeks have passed only less than 190 million, and "Stone" and "Joyful" are so strong, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is still silently reaping the last bit of the box office, and now it has broken through the 300 million mark and become the second Chinese film to exceed 300 million. The momentum of the Chinese box office record. So it seems that "Red Cliff. "Down" is not optimistic, not as good as "Red Cliff. "Up" is almost a foregone conclusion, and the only thing that is better than the upper part is probably that the reputation is slightly better.

After watching the movie, He Mu asked Xu Zheng to go to Changsha together, and Li Qin'er was in the magic capital, so he flew directly to Changsha from there.

on the plane.

"I just watched "Crazy Stone", Brother Xu, you are really stylish with long hair." He Mu teased.

Xu Zheng was happy, "I still have long hair in my next movie, not only long hair but also slimming, this time I am really stylish, have you noticed that I am thin?" ”

"I thought you were tired of serving confinement."

"This is all requested by Director Ning, after a while, I will have to go to the west to experience life, and it is still up to my mother-in-law to serve the confinement child." Xu Zheng chatted with He Mu about his new film, this is the first time Xu Zheng has played the male lead in Ning Hao's movie, and Xu Zheng attaches great importance to it.

"Director Ning is too anxious, and he is about to start a new drama before he has time to enjoy the fruits of the victory of "Racing"."

"He's such a person, he's in a hurry to get things out when he's fully prepared, by the way, what are your plans next, I heard that you and the tiger wolf ......" Lao Xu is also a bit of gossip, which is also because he is too familiar with He Mu, otherwise he would not ask so with his character.

He Mu didn't hide anything from Xu Zheng, "Well, I'll start my own company and invest in my favorite movies, I still have a lot of cards in my hand, all of them are petty fights, Brother Xu, don't forget your little brother if you have a good project in the future." ”

"Definitely, it's been a pleasure to work with you." Xu Zheng said.

A few years later, He Mu was really glad that he had said this to Xu Zheng.

After the two came to Changsha, Qin'er and Zhao Yingjun had already arrived at Malanpo first, and the four of them met in the dressing room, and the next movie promotion will also focus on the four of them.

"Hey!" When the four old friends were chatting, the door was pushed open, it was the happy family members who came, and the communication between the supporters and the guests before the rehearsal was also essential. And He Mu's recent situation is the most eye-catching, the TV series he starred in is about to land on CCTV, and the movie in which he is the starring and producer is about to be released, and it has also caused a scandal with his partner, which can be said to be a constant topic, even if he has a dog at home, it can make headlines.

He Jiong, as the core soul of "Happy Camp", has a wide range of friends in the entertainment industry, Xu Zheng and him are also friends, Li Qin'er has also seen him before, and with him as the hub on both sides, everyone is comfortable. Just as everyone was chatting happily about the script, Xiao Nan answered the phone, and then whispered a few words to He Mu, and heard several changes in He Mu's face.

This expression is very strange, He Jiong asked, "Is it swollen?" ”

"Oh, got a nomination." He Mu pretended to be flat and said, it was Datang who called Xiao Nan just now and asked her to convey it to He Mu.

"What nominations, Academy Awards?" He Jiong asked, the most recent famous domestic film awards seem to be only the Hong Kong Film Awards in March and April.

"Academy Award." He Mu replied, this was really a bit of a surprise for him.

"Beiying's Academy Award?" Xu Zheng asked, he didn't seem to have heard of this award.

"BAFTA." He Mu said.

Xu Zheng's eyes immediately widened, "British Oscar!?" ”

"Hmm."

"Best Actor?!"

"Nomination only."

He Mu Xu Zheng asked and answered, and everyone else wondered, isn't the Oscar American, why did Xu Zheng say that the British Oscar, is it the British branch?

The fast-talking Xie Na first raised questions, and senior actor Xu Zheng answered their questions, "This award is one of the most important film awards in the UK, because it is also an academy award like the Academy Awards, so it is known as the British Oscar. ”

Listening to Xu Zheng say this, everyone understands, it turned out to be the British Oscar, although it is not as good as the one in the United States, but it is still very powerful, and they all say that He Mu's "One Shot 147" is very good at the box office in the United Kingdom and is very popular, and there was no concept before, but now it seems that this is really true, otherwise he could be nominated for Best Actor?

Li Qin'er listened to Xu Zheng's answer and looked at He Mu with admiration, it was really amazing, Brother Mu was only five or six years older than herself, but his achievements were really beyond her reach, at this time she thought of a question, so she looked at Xu Zheng, "Then has any Chinese won this award before?" ”

"Yes," Xu Zheng didn't think, "but he is not Chinese, he is a Chinese-Vietnamese actor, mixed Hollywood, at the 38th British Academy Awards in 1985, he won the British Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Promising Newcomer for "Slaughter City", and also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, the first Chinese to win the Oscar for acting, we occasionally mention him when we go to film history. ”

Sure enough, he is worthy of being born in a professional class, a high-achieving student in drama, these allusions come easily, it seems that Xu Zheng should be the kind of person who is more studious when he is in school.
