Chapter 25: Summer Wind
A new week, the summer solstice on Monday, officially enters the summer season.
For the Tropic of Cancer and the areas north of it, the height of the sun at noon decreases day by day, but because the heat radiated by the sun to the ground is still more than the air emitted by the ground, the temperature will continue to rise and the weather will become hotter and hotter in the future.
Occasionally, there will be a strong convective hot thunderstorm weather of "sunrise in the east and rain in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny". The thunderbolt and golden gong sounded in the sky, and the cold rain came like money.
The crew is ready to deal with it, and filming is still going on steadily. Some scenes in the play just need to rain. If you encounter a hot thunderstorm, you can also take the opportunity to shoot some related scenes, saving yourself the water spray set.
And the crew should also pay attention to the heat and cooling.
After the summer solstice, there will be hot sauna days, and the historical extremes of temperatures in many northern cities occur after the summer solstice.
This is exactly what the summer solstice says is not hot.
Zhou Yi specially helped his sister prepare some heatstroke and antipyretic sprays, and sprayed them twice, which made Tang Yan speechless: Brother, please don't mess around. Spray flower dew every day, and regularly quantitative, do you think this is watering flowers every day? Look! You've watered all my makeup.
In fact, this is just the fun of Zhou Yi after filming.
If you don't let him have fun, how can you do it?
Xi Wei was also speechless: The boss takes care of her sister so meticulously, so envious! Yes? Don't spray me! Bad boss!
The little secretary ran away very happily.
Filming and teasing the secretary is Zhou Yi's daily life.
Now there are two days left before the release of the college entrance examination results, and according to the schedule announced by the Yanjing education department, it is estimated that the scores can be checked online on Wednesday on the 24th. Zhou Yi has been paying attention to this matter, and of course he will not forget it. If you get a high score in the exam, you can directly post on Weibo on the Internet, and then find a reporter to report and interview, what a good means of publicity! Maybe there will be another wave of box office in the end!
It is best to get the top score, and the influence will be greater.
Zhou Yi thought beautifully.
In fact, this kind of publicity is really good, just in time for the last train of the film's release. Maybe it can also help promote TV series and new films, and the role is too great to ignore. Any kind of propaganda means must be firmly grasped, and it may be of great use.
Who doesn't want to see the movie made by the top student in the college entrance examination?
In order to engage in this kind of publicity, Zhou Yi really took the college entrance examination with his heart, and there was absolutely no perfunctory.
Usually he doesn't go all out in the exam, but it doesn't mean that he will do the same in the college entrance examination.
Besides, if you get good results in the college entrance examination, Yanying's special recruitment is also reasonable, and it will not cause controversy, after all, which school will the top student in the college entrance examination go to? Who will say more? In contrast, Zhou Yi did not take the art exam, so it was not a big deal.
Zhou Yike didn't want to leave others with the opportunity to be exposed on the Internet or chew the root of his tongue.
With so many benefits, he will certainly take the exam with his heart.
If you don't make a hit, it's a blockbuster!
However, Tang Yan doesn't have as many complicated ideas as her brother, she just wants to get a high score in the exam.
She was also very anxious, not knowing whether to check the score or show off.
In short, Zhou Yi and Tang Yan brothers and sisters have great expectations for the results of the college entrance examination.
After the college entrance examination scores come out, it is estimated that the admission letter will be available soon.
His younger brother Tang Zhe is going to take the high school entrance examination on Wednesday, which happens to be the same day as the college entrance examination. He's always had good grades, so there's definitely no problem. Zhou Yi and Tang Yan didn't worry much about their younger brother. Besides, with Zhou Yi, his younger brother's future is not a problem, and the test results are actually not important.
It is said that the Chongxiao Tower is about to be completed, and it is a matter of the past few days, and it is estimated that the film crew is about to start filming. Recently, Zhou Yi will be getting busier and busier. And Director Zhao called to inform him that this Monday night, Zhou Yi was going to the company's studio to attend the working meeting of the crew of "Rushing to the Sky Tower", meet with the actors, and everyone combed the script together, matched the lines, and saw if there were any problems.
The reason why it was chosen at night was to deliberately avoid Zhou Yi's daytime filming time.
This is more convenient, after all, both sides have to be in a hurry to film, and they can be staggered.
Zhou Yi readily agreed, he must go to the meeting, and he can't delay the things on the part of the film crew. Movies are more important. These preparations should be done in advance. It's impossible to just memorize your own script, do nothing else, and act when the time comes, that's not okay. It's not that simple, and there must be the necessary preparations. Otherwise, you don't know the other actors at all, how will you cooperate then?
Moreover, in terms of plays, strict rehearsals are required, and Zhou Yi also has to look at the design of the fight scenes on the side of the martial arts group, and there must be no problems. This is especially crucial. Zhou Yi must spare a certain amount of time to participate in the martial arts combination training.
This matter is settled.
There is no scene of Zhou Yi at night, and Director Wan has no problem here.
In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that this week is also a critical period for the box office of "Five Poisons", and Zhou Yi is more concerned about the box office. As of last week's weekend, the total box office of the film has accumulated to 288 million Chinese yuan, and a break of three is imminent. However, the number of theaters will definitely be reduced this week, and the box office has fallen below 30 million yuan in three days last week. The box office of the film has indeed entered a period of decline.
A rapid drop in the box office is inevitable.
Now that it has reached the final stage of the film's release, the box office will fall! Inconsequential.
It is estimated that the box office will be less this week, but the total box office will exceed 300 million, which is not a problem.
Small-budget films are lacking in stamina, and at this time, they are really weak, in fact, "Five Poisons" is already very stamina.
I hope that this weekend can use the publicity of the college entrance examination results to make another impact. Make use of what you can use. I hope that the results of the college entrance examination can be good, and it should be no problem. Although he did not check the standard answers, Zhou Yi was very confident that he would get a super high score.
Now the film is at least hanging on the weekend box office charts, and it doesn't matter if it falls a few places, it will definitely make way for new films.
Last week's weekend, "Youth on Fire (4)" and "Six Blessings" were both released, and the weekend box office must be ahead of "Five Poisons". No matter how strong "Five Poison Gate" is, it can't be the opponent of a strong new film in the fourth week, and it can only be crushed.
These two films are really smart, avoiding strong schedules, many old films entered a recession period last week, "Disciple of the Evil God" has long been gone, the two super strong films have passed their peak, the offensive is no longer violent, the dark horse is also declining at the box office, and the same is true of the earlier old films, "Tongquetai" completely collapsed, although the gourd baby and the big movie queen are strong, but the box office grades have fallen by two orders of magnitude, no longer strong, but the balance of power has been maintained for a long time.
In this case, if they don't take the opportunity to appear at the box office, when will they wait?
The only one that can compete with them is "Ultimate Mission (3)", which has been released for two weeks, and the pressure is naturally much less.
As for the star-studded "Assassin Nie Yinniang" on the surface, do you still need to scruples?
As long as it is a strong film, it will not take Niangniang in its eyes.
Foreign language films are not competitive, needless to say.
However, in this situation, the competition for these two mid-range strong films is still fierce.
Judging from the box office, the comedy "The Coming of Six Blessings" has indeed not been affected, and it topped the box office list last weekend, although the weekend box office was not so amazing, not breaking 100 million, but the box office of 80 million is enough to ensure that it gets a box office champion.
It's really luck.
There hasn't been a decent comedy lately, and this film has seized the gap and avoided the fierce competition, and the success of reaching the top is an inevitable result, which is sure to attract a large number of comedy fans. Comedy fans are the second largest fan group, after the generalized action movie fan group. With their support, as long as the opportunity is right, it is not difficult to reach the top of the box office.
In contrast, "Youth on Fire (4)" was still affected after all, not only suppressed by "Six Blessings" in the same period, but also affected by the aftershocks of several blockbusters, the box office of the director zhì was weakened, and the opportunity to reach the top was lost. Although the box office of this film is also good, ranking second in danger, it failed to reach the top after all, which is a pity.
In fact, the five mid-range strong films scheduled in recent weeks, except for the comedy "Six Blessings", which have not been affected much, the other four strong films have been suppressed, and they have all been greatly affected, and some of them have even been hit hard.
Although there are no corpses everywhere, and strong films are not so easy to be defeated, this situation is really heart-wrenching.
Who would have thought beforehand?
First, "Disciple of the Evil God" was brutally killed by "Five Poison Gate", and then "Assassin Nie Yinniang" was bloodbathed by "Five Poison Gate". There is no need to compete with the two blockbusters at all, "Five Poison Gates" will solve them, and stubbornly hold the position of Tanhua.
followed by "Ultimate Mission (3)" and was suppressed by "Five Poison Gates", although the impact was not great, but it was enough to be aggrieved. If a strong film like this does not rank in the top three at the weekend box office, it is a failure, how can you not be aggrieved?
This is simply the posture of "Five Poison Gates", and the first three are not entered.
In the end, "Youth on Fire (4)" was suppressed by "Six Blessings" and strong films, and was defeated.
This is the overall situation in the film industry recently. In recent weeks, the box office battle has been in full swing, ** has been repeated, and there are dangers. "Five Poison Gate" is like a-stirring stick that suddenly appeared, washing away many strong films. However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the film and television industry, and it is not worth making a fuss. Every time a dark horse appears, it must be this kind of ending. Everyone is accustomed to it, and it's good to watch the excitement without anyone waiting on the sidelines.
In fact, the industry's evaluation of "Five Poisons" has always been based on praise, believing that this film has brought a new wind to action movies and will surely lead a new trend of action movies. Its emergence is a good thing for the industry, at least it can bring some change.
And this film has not been affected by the blockbuster suppression, and has maintained the box office trend for several weeks, and has been valued by many theaters, constantly increasing the number of screens, and it is definitely one of the few highlights in the recent weeks.
can not be suppressed by "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and "Eight Hundred Scholars", it is impossible to do it without absolute strength, and it is indeed something to be proud of.
Especially "Five Poisons", as a small-budget film, the number of screens directly exceeded 2000, 3000, and even 4000 for the first time, which is very powerful. At its peak, there were 4,523 theaters on a large scale, which was a miracle.
This is the industry's overall evaluation of "Five Poisons".
Not only is the word of mouth of fans conclusive, but the industry evaluation is basically conclusive.
This cult film is destined to leave a name in history and occupy a place.
As for those two super blockbusters, there's not much to say. What makes Zhongyi depressed is that although "Eight Hundred Scholars" has a good box office, it has always been firmly suppressed by "Havoc in Heaven" and cannot turn over at all.
This is really the domineering rhythm of the small tearing Baoli to resist the five major factions, and once again fight to stand up!
However, the alliance of the five factions did not form at all, and they were all stirred up by "Five Poison Gates", not only pressed "Disciple of the Evil God" to the ground and beat him fat, but also pressed "Ultimate Mission (3)" on his body, and even scared the other two films to adjust their schedules.
How can we join forces like this?
The alliance of five factions, directly collapsed.
The little tearing treasure picked up a bargain, successfully survived this wave, and increased its prestige in the industry.
Shi Bibao and Bo Yichuan's young directors competed and took a lead by one game.
However, the results of "Zhongyi Double Car, Left and Right Shenfeng" this time are actually very good, Zhang Yimu's "Tokyo Holiday" and Bo Yichuan's "Eight Hundred Scholars" are both very good at the box office, and even "Tokyo Holiday" directly broke the 1 billion mark.
Strictly speaking, Zhongyi is not a failure. It's just that "800 Scholars" shouldered the expectations of the industry and failed to reach the top, which is just a bit of a nest. But the competitor is a big director in the industry, and this situation is very normal.
Who in the industry dares to say that they will definitely win Shi Bibao?
It is estimated that Hanhai will wake up with a smile from his dream this time, this kind of achievement is indeed too good. They probably didn't have confidence in advance, they just had to support their own little tearing treasure, but Shi Bibao's results were really unexpected, and he always firmly suppressed his opponent, which was too angry.
You want to encircle and suppress, but you can't encircle and suppress, suffocate you!
This is the thinking of Hanhai's top management.
That's how things have been going on in the industry lately.
In addition to filming, Zhou Yi will also have some understanding.
After filming during the day, Zhou Yi finished dinner, talked to his sister, and rushed to the company's studio to participate in the meeting of the film crew. As for Xi Wei and Teng Tiangang, they still stayed on the side of the TV drama crew and accompanied their sister. Zhou Yi doesn't need them to accompany him, he can take a taxi by himself. At six o'clock in the evening, he returned to Chaoyang District from Changping District and rushed to the company's studio.
Let's take a look at the Chongxiao Tower first, it is indeed about to be built, and the whole has come out, and the scale is spectacular.
The workers of the art construction team are still working overtime at night, all 24 hours a day, working in shifts.
Zhou Yi didn't care about the matter here, and went to meet Director Zhao and them first.
It's not meeting time yet, and the actors haven't arrived yet.
Director Zhao is working with action director Huang Huacheng to study the action design of the martial arts group.
Huang Huacheng knew that the boss was going to come over at night to participate in the martial arts group training, and the martial arts group naturally had to stay and work overtime. During the preparation of the crew, this is a common thing. Especially in this play, the task is heavy, and the pressure of designing actions is very high, and the martial arts team often has to work overtime.
Zhou Yi arrived soon, and everyone greeted each other familiarly. Director Huang Huacheng introduced some newcomers to the martial arts group to Zhou Yi. Everyone officially met. These new martial artists are really good, very distinctive, and can be used completely.
Zhou Yi was very polite, chatted with everyone, and soon became familiar with it.
Then Zhou Yi wanted to see how the specific action design of the martial arts group was progressing.
Director Huang Huacheng took some members of the martial arts group to demonstrate for Zhou Yi. The effect of these action designs is definitely better than the fighting scenes of the old works in the previous life, but this doesn't mean anything, after all, the fighting scenes in the old works in the previous life are all designed in the seventies and eighties, and they must be outdated, as long as the action director is a little level, the designed fighting scenes will definitely be stronger. There is no doubt about that.
Zhou Yi feels that although these actions are good, the design ideas are a bit rigid and restrained, the action characteristics are not distinctive enough, and they are too restricted by the constraints of previous films, and many designs fall into clichés, and the overall level is not as good as "Five Poisons", which is absolutely unacceptable to Zhou Yi.
He felt that some characteristic movements should be added.
Director Zhao next to him nodded again and again, agreeing with this point, and has been urging the martial arts group to make revisions.
But it's hard to completely design something new.
