Chapter Fifty-Nine: Life Encounters Are Impermanent
The list came out on Saturday morning, and insiders were speechless at first sight, because the name in the first position was really spicy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The first place is 10.18 million blood heroes, and the second place is 8.69 million urban rain.
In other words, just in terms of the box office on Friday, the box office of the bloody duo successfully reached the top, surpassing the three films of Huadu Rain, Lovebird, and Shushan Legend.
Some people may want to say that these three films have been in theaters for two to three weeks, and it is time to run out of stamina, but the bloody duo is also an old film that has been released for two weeks, so this is not an excuse.
There are not too many causes and consequences on this list, only the cold numbers represent the status in the film and television industry.
The one-day summit of the Bloody Heroes also represents the highest achievement of an independent filmmaker, which deserves everyone's attention and awe.
There is a reason why we say awe, for example, Li Jia, the deputy general manager of Southeast Pictures, has resigned.
was definitely resigned, because according to the company's understanding, the company was very hopeful of signing this blockbuster film.
Because the company's distribution department was one of the first companies to find out about the negotiation, and the negotiations went to a critical moment, only because Li Jia refused to pay an extra ten points for distribution and finally missed out on this probably the most successful independent film in the history of Chinese cinema.
Now I look at Yushi Film and Television, which paid ten more points, it is simply laughable, it can be said that it is one of the most successful contracts in history, and Southeast Pictures has become the background emperor and has become the foil of the successful, who talks about the signing of the year, will mention the stupidity and short-sightedness of Southeast Pictures at that time, so someone must pay the price to warn others, so Li Jia cupped.
So for such a film with historical status, its box office results will change a lot of perceptions and the fate of many people.
Luo Gang has been a little rough lately, after leaving the bloody duo crew, he finally defeated more than a dozen other competitors and got a supporting actor role in an urban film shot by Daqin Pictures.
He prepared for this role for more than ten days, but Director Yang called and said that the producer was very dissatisfied with using a little-known actor as a supporting actor, so I am afraid that he will not be able to sign the contract.
Luo Gang held his breath and was angry, the salary of the bloody duo is not too much, which means that there is not much time left for him, if he hasn't got a job, he will be hungry, although this is common as an actor who is not too famous, but now he has to bear his daughter's living expenses and education expenses, and he said in front of his daughter that he has no money now, wait for me, he really can't say this, and he can't raise his head in front of his daughter as a father in the future.
At eight o'clock in the morning on Monday, Luo Gang, who had a hangover all night last night, was woken up by a persistent ringtone, he didn't want to answer any phone at first, but recently Director Yang was able to call him, I'm afraid it's not good news, there is no need to answer the phone.
But the phone rang so relentlessly that he couldn't lie down in bed at all.
Luo Gang walked over and picked up the phone, and when he saw that the caller ID was Director Yang's phone, he sighed and couldn't help answering, even if he refused this time, but there may be opportunities to continue to cooperate in the future, otherwise the director in the circle really can't be offended.
"Director Yang...
Luo Gang just said hello and was interrupted by Director Yang's enthusiastic words,
"You Luo Gang, why don't you answer the phone, hehe, I'll tell you good news, you were hired by the crew, hurry up and sign the contract."
"Really, how do you say this, thank you so much to the director, in this way, I have a treat in the evening."
Luo Gang's nose was sour, because he didn't even have the money to treat guests to dinner at night, and he lived to this point, alas, Nima, it was better to jump off the stairs.
"Okay, what's polite to me," Director Yang continued to be enthusiastic.
"Yes, I'm in for a treat tonight."
To make the very stubborn producer change his mind, Director Yang probably took a lot of effort, and Luo Gang couldn't help but say that even if he borrowed money, he had to treat him.
The two exchanged a few more words and hung up the phone.
Luo Gang hurriedly got up to wash, and as soon as he finished cleaning up, his phone rang again.
As soon as Luo Gang answered the phone, it turned out to be a call from his original agent, Peng Peng.
Peng Peng has also left him since his career failed, which is normal, there is not much remuneration income, and the agent does not have too much commission, can you drink with him, and the warmth and coldness of people are not hindered.
"Luo Gang, okay, you have a good vision, now it's finally a comeback."
Peng Peng said with a smile.
"Lao Peng, don't laugh at me, you don't know what my situation is, to be honest, I don't have any money to treat a boss to dinner tonight."
Luo Gang said speechlessly.
"For the role, this is easy to say, I have two supporting roles in the film here, the director and producer are looking for you by name, I said that you must come to Songjiang Building at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I will wait for you there."
Peng Peng said quickly.
"Thank you, Lao Peng, I didn't expect you to forget me."
Luo Gang said.
"Hehe, uh," Peng Peng was a little speechless, he didn't know the situation yet, he could get this favor, but the phone was put down, and Luo Gang would know what it was not long after he went out, and it would be really difficult to meet at that time.
"Luo Gang, you don't seem to know that the last film you participated in was a big hit, do you know what the position of this film is on the newly released box office list?"
"What position, is it in the top ten?"
Luo Gang's heartbeat is a little faster, well, if a small independent film can enter the top ten, it will be too big for him, of course, the benefit of the starring director is the greatest, but he is also free as a supporting role, and there will be corresponding benefits.
However, it's not realistic, can a small production with a small investment fight those blockbusters.
"I'll go, Luo Gang, are you still a person in the film and television circle, haven't you paid attention to the box office recently, and you haven't entered the theater to watch movies for a long time?"
Peng Peng said speechlessly.
"Ahem, this, it's true, I've been busy looking for a job lately."
Luo Gang said embarrassedly.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't have this time, but his life is unsatisfactory, which makes him a little closed, and he doesn't want to care about these things all the time.
"Convinced, I don't even know how you joined the Bloody Duo crew,"
Peng Peng was completely speechless, Luo Gang's situation can be imagined.
"What ranking has the bloody twin heroes achieved, Lao Peng, you can talk about it," Luo Gang was a little really anxious.
"Last weekend, it achieved a box office of 30 million in three days, ranking first on the box office list."
As soon as Peng Peng's words came out, Luo Gang's head slammed, and the news brought him a strong stimulus, making him dizzy and unable to stand, and he suddenly fell on the sofa.
This, this is too unreal, how can an independent film with a production cost of only two million and a publicity and distribution cost of only 10 million achieve such results, is there something wrong.
"Lao Peng, are you wrong, aren't you kidding me?"
Luo Gang's voice trembled.
"I'll go, can I joke about this, is it useful to lie to you for a while, you check a website or go out to buy a newspaper to know something, can I fool you,"
Peng Peng sneered, this guy is probably crazy,
"These two opportunities were obtained from this film, I said you should quickly clean up, be decent, and come to the audition."
Luo Gang hung up the phone, he quickly ran downstairs to buy a newspaper, this matter is really too important to him, if the bloody duo really reached the top, then the promotion of his career is really immeasurable, and it can even be said that his second spring is coming.
When he saw the name on the box office list published in the entertainment newspaper, Luo Gang suddenly sat down at the newsstand, this, this is all true, life really doesn't know that the cloud is raining.
