Chapter 296 Scene 296 United Everyone
"Director Li~ You're here, come and sit down." Han Sanpin watched Li Xiaole come in, hurriedly carried a chair over, and excitedly pointed to the small red flags on the sand table map of theaters across the country and said: "Look at it, today's box office is so good, it's really good, we are in 14 theaters across the country, 60 theaters are released at the same time, and in less than 3 hours now, we have got a box office of 59.9 million." β
Saying that, Han Sanpin pulled out small red flags from under the south of the sand table and swayed in front of Li Xiaole:
"This is Tianhe Cinema in Guangzhou, his family has a box office of 40,000, this is Xintiandi Cinema in Shanghai, they sold 30,000 tickets, and our Huaxing Cinema in Chu and Zhejiang also sold 30,000 tickets, and the 6 theaters of Wangfujing Cinema in Sichuan and Chengdu all screened "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and all of them were full......"
Han Xiaoli also put down the phone, and also pulled out a small red flag on the sand table and said with a smile: "Lao He called just now, the Lanzhou Theater in Gansu was forced to open the small hall due to the shortage of tickets for "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and it was screened at the same time, I calculated, the number of moviegoers nationwide has reached nearly 30,000~"
"Really?" Li Xiaole smiled, it was about the same as he expected.
"Mr. Han, if it goes on like this, as long as we grasp piracy tightly, it is only a matter of time before the box office exceeds 100 million." Next to him, Han Xiaoli brought a glass of water and handed it to Han Sanpin, and said with a sigh of relief.
"How's Yan Jie over there?" Li Xiaole is curious about the other party's movements, and Yan Jie will definitely not let them sell at the box office so smoothly.
"Hmph~ What can I do, they are jumping up and down, and they are also being forced to be anxious." Han Xiaoli snorted with disdain.
"With this momentum, as long as we are cautious, the expected box office is achievable." Han Sanpin suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice.
"No, Mr. Han, I don't think we can be too conservative." Li Xiaole looked at Han Sanpin with hot eyes.
"Are we conservative?" Han Sanpin felt very strange and didn't understand what Li Xiaole meant.
"You've been thinking about how to reach 110 million at the box office and get through this difficult time." Li Xiaole shook his head very dissatisfied:
"But if you think about it, this time we are going all out to fight those people head-on, and they think this is an opportunity to trample us to death, but in fact, on the contrary, it is also an opportunity for us to get rid of them."
"You go on." Han Sanpin looked at Li Xiaole in surprise, he had the impression that he was more cautious than anyone else last time, but now he was more daring than anyone else, and he actually wanted to finish the battle.
"It's simple." Li Xiaole said in a calm tone:
"Since we have already confronted each other head-to-head this time, let's fight harder, make a box office example without piracy, and let the leaders of the Film Bureau, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, and their peers see how much profit mainland films can make if piracy is prevented, interests are the biggest driver, as long as you do something so that others can see the benefits of doing so, then Yan Jie They will not only not win this time, but lose completely, I believe you already have a lot of evidence of those people in your hands."
"Well, I have some materials, but I'm not sure if I can press them to death." Han Sanpin hesitated.
"The material is not the key, the key is whether we can move people at the box office." Li Xiaole suddenly slowed down his tone, looked at Han Sanpin and said:
"No matter how good the box office of "Hero" is, it is also overseas investment, this time our "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is an investment in the whole mainland, as long as we get 200 million at the box office on the premise of preventing and controlling the box office, then no matter how insufficient the materials for the punishment are enough, he will definitely die."
Two hundred million!? Hearing this number made Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli stunned, but Han Sanpin immediately reacted, Li Xiaole pointed out a core that he had been ignoring, this time it seems to be his own desperate situation, but in fact it is also the most haode**** opportunity, not that he can't think of it, but he has never dared to think about it, he thought that the box office of 100 million was already unattainable, what is the concept of 200 million box office?
"So what do you think we should do?" Han Sanpin looked at Li Xiaole and asked.
"We want to expand the theater chain of the release, so that Huayi, New Pictures, Bona Film and other big companies in the circle are involved." Li Xiaole said, can the box office reach 200 million? In fact, he himself is not sure, the film market is a very delicate game, many factors can change the ending of zuihou, can the audience accept it more if he changes "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb"? In this day and age, whether there are enough people willing to go to the cinema is a problem.
But Li Xiaole believes that as long as all the positive liliang in the film industry are united, and piracy and theaters are eliminated to the greatest extent, there will be no problem with the box office of 200 million.
"You mean, give them the copy? It's too risky, isn't it? Han Xiaoli exclaimed, generally speaking, this kind of release to other theaters is after the pirated version is leaked out, and the biggest trouble if the copy is handed over to other companies for distribution is that they are afraid that they will leak the copy, after all, it is not their own movie.
"I understand......" Han Sanpin suddenly realized and clapped his hands again and again:
"As long as we tell the CEOs of these companies the ins and outs of the current confrontation with Yan Jie, with their position, as long as they see that we have hope of winning this struggle, they will support us unconditionally, because we have the same interests in the face of piracy."
"Yes, the key is the box office, whether we can impress them at the box office and make them think that we will be the winning party~" Li Xiaole's eyes were blazing with a scorching light, and his deep voice seemed to question Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli:
"We make movies in a down-to-earth manner, weishenme is afraid of these pirates, they are just maggots sucking our blood, should we obey them? Or should you be afraid of them? No, since the day I returned to China, I have never served them, and I have never been afraid of them, I came back to play with them.
Is 200 million more at the box office? I don't think it's much, if it weren't for them, even if it wasn't a billion box office in the mainland, what if it lost this time? If we lose, we won't be able to make a movie? Should we take it even if we lose ten times?
I don't accept it, I still have to make a movie, even if this one fails, I still have to make the next one, even if the next one fails, I still have to shoot the next part, I don't believe that I can't do these people in China. β
Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli were both shocked by Li Xiaole's low words, they have been working step by step, cautious, they have never tried to take risks like today, in fact, ask themselves, what they are really afraid of in their hearts is losing their current status, without him Han Sanpin, the above will support other people, China Film Group will always have a day of transformation......
And this Li Xiaole is not afraid of losing at all, because deep down he loves this industry far more than them, and wants to do it all well, and that enthusiasm is more fierce and fanatical than theirs.
"Xiaoli, let Secretary Liu arrange it, let's go to the new picture company, and the two of us will go in person." Han Sanpin also seemed to be infected by his emotions and picked up the fur coat on the hanger.
"Now?" Han Xiaoli asked.
"It's now~" Han Sanpin couldn't wait for a moment, looked back at Li Xiaole and dropped a faint sentence: "Director Li, you do your thing, I will deal with these things, don't worry." β
This sentence is very ordinary, and Li Xiaole really feels the heavy weight of the word "rest assured".
In the three days since this night, Han Sanpin has visited all the top leaders of all the cinema companies he can visit almost non-stop...... From the new picture, Huayi, Poly Bona, and many small movie brothers Oh Nas.
The box office of "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" continued to boil, with an attendance rate of 85.7 percent in Chinese theaters, and an attendance rate of nearly 72 percent even at midnight in the early morning.
And the media who were originally staring at this aiqing movie co-starred by the two major actors, naturally carried out overwhelming reports.
Zhou Chengan, a famous reporter from "Southern Net", once ridiculed "Crazy Stone" last time, but this time he changed his position and the title was: "True love comes, don't disturb if you are sincere." β
An entire film review occupies several pages of this Southern Weekly, and comprehensively explains the surprise that this movie brought him:
"I once doubted the 21-year-old Li Madness's understanding of middle-aged people's emotions, but after I watched this movie written and directed by him, I think Li Crazy proved that there is really a genius on this shijie, maybe he was born with the gene of insight into personnel, this movie has two actors, a rookie actress, simple can not be in a simple story, and there is a clichΓ© theme - aiqing.
But he really touched me because of his sincerity.
Its picture is typical of Lee's crazy style, filled with vigorous vitality, the film rhythm is smooth and bright, the 120-minute story, the outline of the three main characters is clear and vivid, and the editing and music on the jishu are excellent, at least above the level.
But these are not important, what really moved me was the sincerity in the movie, I don't know if Li Xiaole dared to use a similar "clumsy" way to sit directly with the audience in front of the screen on the basis of calm and confidence in his own creative ability, discussing universal value propositions, love, friendship, and hope.
The only fly in the ointment is that Li Xiangshan should not be alive at the end, and if he dies then this movie may be called perfect.
After a series of praises, the entertainment celebrity commented on Li Xiaole's control of emotions: "Judging from the previous films, Li Crazy Jishu is the top in the circle, but the handling of feelings is still in the thinking of teenagers, but in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", he has completely transformed and become a great director with insight into human nature, especially the handling of the scene between Qin Fen and Liang Xiaoxiao, it is simply wonderful, Qin Fen's emotional outburst at the moment of self-defeating liliang is so huge, So much so that when I watched it, I forgot that I was a spectator......"
