Chapter 312: Box Office Prediction

After singing this highly sung song, Yang Lin is about to step down. After all, this is Liu Yifei's album press conference, and he can't dominate the crowd, but in the end, Yang Lin still has to listen to her sing "Singing on the Tree", which can be regarded as letting him test Liu Yifei's live singing ability.

He left in a hurry without waiting for Liu Yifei's press conference to end, because today is still the day when the crew of "Baby Project" gathers, otherwise Yang Lin would not have taken a whole day of vacation.

After months of post-production, "Baby Project" is finally about to be released. That's why it's essential to do so now. Yang Lin, as one of the leading actors, of course, can't miss it.

When he came to the hotel where the crew was located, Yang Lin knocked on the door and went in.

"Yo, isn't this our big star? Why are you here now? Cai Zhuoyan, who has a lively personality, took the lead in saying, she looked at Yang Lin's dress, and then said jokingly: "You won't go on a blind date, right?" ”

"You found out, how did you know that I went on a blind date? Are you the object of my blind date? Cai Zhuoyan's Mandarin is not very fluent, and she can't understand it when Yang Lin speaks quickly.

"Hehe, the big names won't come until later, I thought you wouldn't come?" Jackie Chan stood up from the sofa, and he said to Yang Lin: "The recent development momentum is very strong, not bad." ”

Yang Lin was a little embarrassed, how could this big brother be the same as them. "Big brother, are you kidding, I haven't done anything lately, I'm making a TV series with peace of mind?"

Jackie Chan frowned and said, "You are a filmmaker now, how can you lower your price to act in a TV series?" Do you know why our film actors have a higher status than other actors? ”

Yang Lin, Cai Zhuoyan, and Gao Yuanyuan shook their heads at the same time, they really didn't know.

Enjoying the attention of everyone, Jackie Chan slowly spit out a few words: "You need money to watch movies, but you don't need money to watch TV series." ”

Yang Lin was surprised, this is a well-known thing, you need to pay for tickets to watch movies, and you don't charge money for watching TV series. In order to be able to make the audience pay for the cinema willingly, then the movie actors must maintain a low exposure, and if they want to see me, then go to the cinema.

He suddenly realized that this was the truth, which was easy to understand.

"But I think a well-filmed TV series is much better than a bad movie. At least this can accumulate popularity, but without popularity, how can the audience be willing to pay for it? Yang Lin argued.

"Having said that, if you look at these famous movie actors, which one of them has not made dozens of bad movies? Good movies are not so easy to come across, you have to take the film, keep the film. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's just make small talk." Gao Yuanyuan sat on the sofa with an outstanding temperament.

"This National Day schedule is not optimistic." Jackie Chan sighed, he felt a little exhausted, Jackie Chan's films in recent years have been trying to transform, trying to create the image of a tragic hero.

And in this movie, Jackie Chan has made a return in style, and the audience can see the typical Jackie Chan style of comedy and kung fu again. The film's light-hearted humor can bring enough entertainment to the audience, coupled with Jackie Chan's own strong appeal, which has attracted many Hong Kong stars to make cameos, so it is naturally guaranteed at the box office of the movie.

Chen Musheng is not in a good mood, after all, this schedule can only last for about seven days, and the key depends on the time of the week of the National Day.

"Director, what are the films we are competing for in the same period?" Yang Lin looked at the two of them anxiously, and then couldn't help asking. He's been so busy lately that he doesn't know anything.

Director Chen Musheng said: "Our main opponent in this schedule is Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet", who knows why he gave up the New Year file and came to compete with us for the National Day schedule." ”

Jackie Chan shook his head and said: "The lineup of "Night Banquet" is too strong, Zhang Ziyi, Ge You, Zhou Xun, Wu Yanzu, Huang Xiaoming, Xu Xiyuan, etc., plus their publicity investment, it is difficult for us to compare with them. ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said: "Our movie is also star-studded, let's not talk about Jackie Chan, Cai Zhuoyan, Gao Yuanyuan, Matthew Jr. and I are all stars." We can't be the first to show weakness. ”

"Eh, I suddenly remembered. Why didn't you star in the movie "Night Banquet"? Isn't this Huayi Investment? Jackie Chan asked with some curiosity.

Yang Lin touched his nose, and then whispered: ""Night Banquet" began to be prepared in 05, and the actors had already been decided at that time, and I couldn't get involved. Besides, starring in "Baby Plan" as the protagonist is not bad at all. ”

"We didn't meet "Night Banquet" head-on, they were released on September 14, we were released on September 28, we have to compete at its peak, this difficulty can be imagined." Chen Musheng was a little worried, and he didn't know what the box office of the movie was.

"Yang Lin, let's go, let's go and see the official website specially made for publicity." Cai Zhuoyan pulled Yang Lin and asked him to quickly take out the computer.

turned on the computer and entered the official website of "Baby Project", Yang Lin actually saw the "treasure thief trio" himself, Jackie Chan, and Xu Guanwen The three of them are ghostly and mighty.

Yang Lin slid the mouse, the most attractive thing was not the three of them, nor Cai Zhuoyan and Gao Yuanyuan, the two beauties, but the fat Matthew. His chubby and cute ketone body has appeared in a variety of special looks under the creation of computer special effects, including the big thief hostage, western cowboy, Pirates of the Caribbean and even the Mona Lisa.

After Yang Lin saw the shape of these tricks, he couldn't help laughing, this is too comedic.

"How? Fun, right? Jackie Chan was also playful, and he said to Yang Lin: "It took a lot of time and money to get this out." This is a great propaganda weapon, all thanks to your reminder, otherwise there would be no such website. ”

Yang Lin pointed to his nose in surprise, "What did I say?" How come I don't remember saying this idea? "He's really forgetful.

Jackie Chan and Chen Musheng looked at each other and smiled, since we don't remember, we don't bother to say it.

"Yang Lin, you can predict our box office. We've all predicted it, and we'll see who gets closer. ”

This box office can be said to be changing, although there is a box office guarantee of Jackie Chan, but the specific box office is, Yang Lin still does not know.

He said a little conservatively: "I estimate that 200 million at the box office in Asia should not be a problem, the mainland box office should directly break 100 million, Hong Kong ~ Hong Kong should have more than 25 million, Taiwan ~ Bay should be a little more than Hong Kong." As for the foreign box office, I don't know very well, but it should be okay to add up to 50 million. South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Japan are all spheres of influence in the Chinese-speaking entertainment industry, and with the appeal of Jackie Chan, 200 million is not a problem! ”

Jackie Chan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yang Lin, you overestimate me too much." Your prediction is too high, and the box office of 200 million is unattainable for this comedy film with an investment of less than 10 million. I hope that the whole of Asia can break more than 100 million. ”

"You dare to think about it, but I hope you're right, if only there were so many box offices." Gao Yuanyuan doesn't speak easily, and when he speaks, he goes straight to the point.

Chen Mu Shengqiang cheered up, "Your prediction is a bit rash." We had the sniping of "X-Men" and "Night Banquet" in front of us, and then we had the siege of imported blockbusters such as "Miami Vice", and the form is not optimistic. ”

Yang Lin looked at these people whose fighting spirit was a little dim, "How do you know that we will definitely lose?" They must be better than us? Don't forget that imported blockbusters have always had the characteristics of not adapting to the soil and water, and who snipes who is not necessarily it! And we are taking the route of light-hearted and witty comedy, and the people who watch it during the National Day holiday are definitely stronger than the court tragedy of "Night Banquet". If you want me to look at it, the box office in the first week is not a problem of 20 million, and 30 million is also very likely. ”

He paused, took a sip of water, and said, "Do you think our quality is really inferior to theirs?" I actually acted, I know that the film is of high quality, and you are also actors, don't you have any confidence in your work? ”

He kept running out one number after another, which surprised these people. After all, Jackie Chan is an international movie star, he has not been afraid of anyone in the competition, and Jackie Chan's movies have considerable appeal in Asia. He stood up and smiled heroically, "Let's see who's better, it's time for publicity." Publicity funds are limited, so the quality must be high! ”

Chen Musheng was also aroused, he pressed his teeth and said, "Yes, fight with them." Let's see who can dominate the National Day schedule, and it is not too difficult to break 100 million at the box office. Then the propaganda will be left to you. ”

Xu Guanwen nodded, he had been sitting in the corner without speaking. He exclaimed, "We have also put our hearts and souls into it, so why should we be left behind?" Everyone competes at the box office, who is afraid of whom! ”

After Yang Lin saw that everyone had a fighting spirit, he asked, "Director, what is our publicity arrangement?" I want to film in Bei~Beijing, so I can't participate in the publicity work in an all-round way. ”

Chen Musheng nodded, "Your special situation, your agent has already communicated with me, and you can attend a few more important ones at that time." Leave the rest alone, filming is the most important. ”
