Liu Yifei's departure made Lin Yuquan breathe a sigh of relief, and while filming the movie, he also paid close attention to the release of films in various places, who made the summer prime time open again!

For workers in the film-related industry, the annual summer file and Christmas file are the two most important schedules of the year, although there is no "May Day Golden Week" in foreign countries, but in fact, the summer file in Europe and the United States is also roughly opened during this time period, but sometimes it is occasionally about a week in advance.

It can be said that compared with the summer file, the May Day schedule is a turning point in the first half of the year to bid farewell to the spring file with a cold box office in March and April, and turn to the hot summer file - the summer file.

Such a special inflection point is naturally fought for by major film companies, so in recent years, there will be blockbuster blockbusters released every year on May Day, which have swept the global box office list strongly, and what few people know is that the official opening of this schedule in the world is from 02 years of "WWW.UUXS.CCSpider-Man". Maguire, Kirsten. The superhero blockbuster starring Dunst was released on May 3, topping the North American weekend box office charts with a devastating momentum, and set an astronomical first week weekend box office of $114 million in one fell swoop, thus officially announcing the start of the North American summer season from Memorial Day at the end of May to early May.

Relying on the influence of Hollywood movies, such a momentum has naturally spread to the world, since then, the first week of May 03 is "X-Men 2", the first week of North America is $85.56 million weekend box office, $155 million worldwide, 04 years is "Van Helsing", North America first week weekend box office 54.21 million US dollars, the global box office exceeded 100 million, 05 years is the epic blockbuster "Heavenly Dynasty", although the box office results of this film are not very ideal, But the production cost of $130 million is an out-and-out super blockbuster, "Mission Impossible 3" in 06, the North American box office was $48 million,

And this year's strong landing on the May Day schedule is destined to gorgeously unveil the summer file "Spider 3", yes, it is destined, in the first week of "Spider-Man" 02 years of 114 million US dollars weekend box office, the final global box office of 822 million US dollars, 04 "Spider-Man" in the first week of the North American weekend box office of 116 million US dollars, after the global box office of 784 million US dollars, no one doubts that "Spider-Man 3" will strongly detonate the summer file, especially when Sony finalized the largest opening in film history in North America with an unprecedented 4252 theaters, After the simultaneous global release in 92 countries around the world, the first week of "Spider-Man 3" received unprecedented attention.

Lin Yuquan is undoubtedly one of the followers, but the slight difference is that his attention is more focused on the release of "Spider-Man 3" in China.

"Spider-Man 3", which is scheduled to be released in North American theaters on May 4, was released on a large scale in China on May 2, because the first two episodes of the film achieved a box office of 41 million and 52 million respectively during the domestic screening, ranking fifth and seventh in the annual box office list, and the box office was hot, so the release of "Spider-Man 3" has been valued by domestic distribution, theaters and theaters, and has been greatly taken care of in the film scheduling.

In addition, the first two episodes of the accumulation of many "Spider-Man" clusters and the "May Day Golden Week" 7-day holiday stimulated people's consumption enthusiasm in leisure, entertainment, tourism, etc., therefore, the strong landing of "Spider-Man 3" immediately triggered a holiday movie viewing boom as soon as it was released, starting from the premiere at 0:00 on May 2, the national box office on the day of the premiere broke 15 million, and the total box office in two days was 29.4 million.

"Is it 29.4 million box office in two days? It's really murderous enough, it seems that "Spider-Man 3" should not have a problem refreshing the box office of imported films other than "Titanic", but the senior sister is big this time. Lin Yuquan, who had just finished talking to Ding on the phone, smiled and dialed Xu Jinglei's phone with the situation.

It was morning in Kyoto at this time, Xu Jinglei quickly answered the phone, and her joking voice came from the phone: "Oh, it's Yuquan, it's rare that you, the great director, still remember to call me today, I didn't have much hope for you." ”

"Uh, I said senior sister, it turns out that you see me like this, in vain, I ignore the fatigue of filming during the day, and call you as soon as I get home, don't say thank you, you should be more surprised, what kind of thing is it now!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile in his eyes and seemed to be aggrieved.

"Surprise, really, you didn't call me until today, and you're embarrassed to say that I should have been surprised by your belated call, is there anything like you? It's pretty much the same if you called me two days ago, of course, if you can show up in front of me now, don't say surprise, I'll definitely be as grateful as you said, the question is, can you show up in front of me right away? Xu Jinglei said with a smile.

"Heh", Lin Yuquan smiled, sure enough, a talented woman is a talented woman, her words are tricky enough, and she can't pick up a bargain when she argues: "Okay, you are amazing, the movie will premiere in the evening, how are you feeling now?" ”

"What do you think, I'm not like you and Ning Hao, you don't have to worry about the box office of the movie, my movie box office is not good, basically I can't even get my investment back, and this time it was released at the same time as "Spider-Man 3", and it is estimated that it will be crushed again." Xu Jinglei said with little confidence, although she cares more about the quality of the movie itself, but who can completely ignore the box office as a director, and it is even more impossible for a director who invests a lot of films to invest in it.

"Please, senior sister, can you be a little confident in yourself, your movie script has been checked by me, Ning Hao, Huang Lei and yourself, first of all, there must be no problem in terms of script, if in this case, your movie box office is not good, it can only mean that your own directing ability is not qualified, don't you believe in your own directing ability, even if you don't believe in your directing ability, you have to have a little confidence in Huang Lei because it is Senior Huang Lei who assists you!

Besides, no one makes you compare with "Spider-Man 3", being crushed by "Spider-Man 3" is nothing, anyway, the movies that are crushed by it are not only your "Dream into Reality", the key is what kind of box office your own movie can achieve, in fact, this schedule is already good, in addition to "Spider-Man 3", "Life and Death Sniper", "Life Remote Control", "Dragon Knight", "Heart of the King", "Mingming", "Very Love" and other movies are not released in the first week, the newly released "Lion Awakening", "Kung Fu Invincible", "Red Beauty" The three domestic films are not high, and "Dreams Come True" can achieve a good box office, and there are no strong new films released in the next three weeks, just using this time to close the box office outside "Spider-Man 3". ”

Lin Yuquan said slowly, he still has a good understanding of the overall situation of this year's domestic schedule, and this year's summer file is still the world of Hollywood blockbusters, "Spider-Man" in May, "Pirates of the Caribbean" in June, "Transformers" in July, and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" in August.

In addition to May, there are more influential domestic films released in June, July, and August.

In June, there are "Serial Bureau" directed by Luo Zhiliang and starring Lin Jiaxin, Liu Ruoying, Zhang Zhaohui and others, "The True Story of the Old Port" starring Huang Qiusheng, Zheng Zhongji, and Mok Wenwei, "Tracking" starring Ren Dahua and Leung Jiahui, and the color animation "The Secret of the Treasure Gourd" produced by China Film Zuò, and in July, there are "The True Colors of Men" directed by Chen Musheng, starring Nicholas Tse, Fang Zuming, and Yu Wenle, "The Secret That Can't Be Said" directed and acted by Jay Chou, directed by Ye Weixin, and starring Zhen Zidan and Louis Koo, and in August, it was Ning Hao's " Crazy Racing.

In comparison, May is a better choice for the release of Lao Xu's movie in the summer.

As for the next other months, September was originally an off-season, and it was in such an off-season that there were Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises", "C+ Detective", "Please Forget Me", "The Ugly Girl Turns Over", "Wind and Snow Wolf Road" and a series of films, which are even more domestic blockbusters after entering October.

Ding Zhi and others also arranged Xu Jinglei's "Dream into Reality" in May after comprehensive consideration.

"Yes, hearing you say that, my nervous mood is much calmer." Xu Jinglei said with a smile.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan chuckled, and while looking at the brightly lit night at the foot of Beverly Mountain, he asked with a smile, "How are you preparing for the premiere event in the evening?" ”

The premiere of "Dream into Reality" was scheduled for a theater in Kyoto, and it was the first time that a film produced by Akebo Film Company was officially released in his own theater, and Lin Yuquan certainly cared about it.

"You know Director Xiao's ability, and he is in charge of planning, and everything has been arranged, but since you called, you have to help with the premiere event that night." Xu Jinglei almost couldn't tolerate Lin Yuquan's refusal.

"Help, what can I help with, I'm in Los Angeles now, and I don't have the ability to fly back in an instant." Lin Yuquan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"I didn't say you had to come back to help, you just had to do that." Xu Jinglei immediately said on the phone.

"Please, I still have to sleep."

"Come less, just delay you for a few minutes, you won't die if you sleep a little less."

"Say it's a few minutes, but how can it only be delayed for those minutes."

"Then you can sleep for a while, set the alarm time, and get up again later."

"Hey, I knew I was recording a VCR in advance." Lin Yuquan finally said depressedly.

"Huh."

May 4, May Fourth Youth Day, Friday.

The premiere of "Dream into Reality" is scheduled in Kyoto, and it is the only theater in Kyoto that is located in Kyoto.

Since the morning, the theater has suspended the release of other films and began to prepare for the premiere of "Dream into Reality" tonight, and when the time came to the afternoon, the red carpet and the corresponding stage arranged in the square outside the mall had attracted a large number of fans and audiences to stop and watch, and the media reporters naturally came to the mall early, waiting for the start of the movie premiere.

"Oh, I didn't expect the cinema of the Dawning Cinema Line to be so luxurious, and there are 10 theaters, which is not very common." A young reporter with a temperament sighed.

"I just knew, not only the theater in front of us, but also the 5 theaters that have opened in Shuguang Cinema Line, the 10 that will open in the next few months and other new theaters under construction, all of which are like this, each theater has at least 8 theaters." Next to the young reporter, a middle-aged reporter from the same newspaper as him said.

"No, doesn't this mean that Shuguang Cinemas will soon have 15 theaters and at least 120 big screens, which is also developing too fast!" The young reporter exclaimed incredulously.

"Yes, I originally thought that the development trend of Wanda Cinemas was already god-level, but I didn't expect the development of Shuguang Cinemas to be much more rapid, according to the information of Shuguang Cinemas, next year Shuguang Cinemas will build 30 theaters and 250 big screens. The middle-aged reporter said.

"No, now Wanda Cinemas has been eyeing the top three in the box office rankings of theaters, and when Shuguang Cinemas rise again next year, their top three positions will become more and more precarious." The young journalist gloated.

"Let's not talk about next year for the time being, in fact, Shuguang Cinemas will have a big impact on them this year, and it is estimated that they are having a headache now!" The middle-aged reporter laughed.

"Who's to say it isn't?" The young journalist also laughed.

Not far from the Akebono Cinema, there is a Chinese movie star beauty theater, which is also the largest movie star theater in Kyoto.

"Hey, Xu Jinglei's "Dream into Reality" is about to start its premiere!" Theater manager Cao Ge sighed, in the past, the films produced by Shuguang Film Company were all premiered in the Chinese film star theater where they were located, and it has only been how long it has been since the release of "Love Call Transfer", and they have already begun to hold premieres in their own theaters.

In fact, it doesn't matter where the premiere ceremony is held, but the current shape makes him full of worries about the development of Chinese film star beauty.

Time flies like flowing water, in the blink of an eye, from 02 began to start the reform of the domestic cinema system, five years have passed, after the first 3 years of the adaptation period when it was built, with the continuous improvement of the cinema line system, the competition between the cinema line and the cinema line is intensifying, to this day, the first batch of 30 cinema lines formed after 3 years of stable dìng period, from 2005 onwards, there have been strong alliances between cinemas, strong and weak combinations of complementary advantages, capital injection, share expansion and other forms of merger and reorganization, the cinema line shì has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The development of China Film Xingmei in recent years is undoubtedly very successful, as a theater jointly established by China Film and Xingmei Media, China Film Xingmei in 2002 in just 7 months after its establishment, the total box office income of the theater line is close to 50 million yuan, and with the subsequent high-quality theaters joining, the box office of the theater chain has risen again and again, ranking among the top three in the country, as of last year, The annual box office has reached 265 million, only lower than the 308 million of the old rivals Shanghai City United and the 283 million of the Kyoto New Film Federation, and after the change of shareholder equity in February this year, with the help of China Film's capital, brand and management advantages, the entire Chinese film stars are making great strides.

The success of the Chinese film star lies in the theater joining, but this is also the reason why Cao Ge is worried, how can the franchise be compared to the self-built theater, the franchised theater can leave at any time after the contract period, and the self-built theater is completely its own, look at Wanda, in just three years, Wanda has developed into a super-large-scale investment cinema line with 15 direct investment theaters and 121 screens.

Although they will definitely develop rapidly in the next few years after having the support of China Film, but in the face of Wanda's announcement that more than 10 theaters will be built every year in the next few years, and about 100 screens, Cao Ge only feels deeply powerless, in the foreseeable future, Wanda will quickly surpass the Chinese movie star Mei, and the gap between the two will become bigger and bigger.

This is only the box office gap, in terms of profits, they are mainly joining theaters, and now they are far inferior to Wanda.

With Wanda's opponent alone, and enough to cast a shadow on the future of Chinese film star beauty, and then there is a dawning cinema line with a more fierce development trend than Wanda, how can Cao Ge not worry.

"Hey, it's really an eventful autumn, presumably affected by the two major cinema chains of Wanda and Shuguang, the company's development policy this year is bound to be adjusted again."

And when Cao Ge was worried about his headache, in the square outside the Kyoto Cinema of the Shuguang Cinema Line, the crowd of onlookers and the long-awaited media reporters were all in high spirits, and the much-anticipated premiere of "Dream into Reality" finally began.

With the shining appearance of one star after another, the deafening cheers on the scene were also constant, "Oh, Jiang Yan, you are the most beautiful." "Wow, Liu Yifei, my goddess." "Liu Ye, young master, you are the most handsome." "Gao Yuanyuan, goddess, goddess." "Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng."

The fans and the audience were happy, and the media reporters kept flashing the flash in their hands, and at the same time, they howled in their hearts, is this still a medium-budget literary film? The star lineup that came to help is too bright, at this moment, even those media reporters who often attend the premieres of various movies can't be calm at all, without it, look at these stars on the red carpet, Wang Luodan, Jiang Yan, Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Zhu Yawen, Liu Ye, Luo Jintian, Yuquan family is almost all out to cheer for Xu Jinglei, in addition, the network accumulated by the talented female director herself is absolutely amazingly broad, Zhang Yibai, Wang Xuebin, Pu Cunxin, Wang Zhiwen, Han Han, Liu Bei, Li Yapeng, Jiang Wen, Huang Jue, Tong Dawei are dazzling with all kinds of stars, such a huge lineup, even those blockbusters are not bad.

Xu Jinglei looked at the warm atmosphere in front of her with satisfaction, compared with her first two movies, there are Shuguang Film Company Zhang Luo's publicity activities, and the publicity activities of "Dream into Reality" are undoubtedly much more powerful, TV, newspapers, radio, Internet, magazines, almost all-round coverage, like on Shuguang Network, as long as the user opens the website, he can immediately see the eye-catching "On May 4th, the talented female director Xu Jinglei's third personal film "Dream Shines into Reality" will meet you in the cinema, Director Lin Yuquan and Director Ning Hao personally participated in the creation of the script, which is not to be missed." The good publicity momentum, coupled with her confidence in the quality of the film, also made her finally have a lot of expectations for the box office of the movie.

"Let us once again extend a warm welcome to all the guests, and then invite Director Xu Jinglei to say a few words to us." The host said with a smile.

In the fierce applause, Xu Jinglei gracefully walked to the host's side, took the microphone from her hand, and had a happy smile on her face: "Thank you very much for coming to the premiere of "Dreams Come True", before I say something to everyone, let us welcome the last guest to help out. ”

"Wow, there are even guests to help, who will it be?" Except for a few people who knew about it, almost everyone at the scene was surprised, applauding vigorously, guessing in their hearts, and at the same time looking around, trying to see the guests who appeared on the stage for the first time.

However, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute passed, but they saw any movement happening, and at this moment, everyone was suddenly puzzled, and they all turned their heads to look at Xu Jinglei on the stage.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Xu Jinglei's expression was extremely calm: "Hehe, I believe everyone wants to know who the last guest is, in fact, he is here." Speaking of this, Xu Jinglei raised her right hand high, holding a mobile phone in her hand.

mobile phone, everyone first took a sign, and then understood that Xu Jinglei meant that the guest could not be present, so he could only contact him by phone.

After understanding this, everyone became more and more curious, who could it be?

Some people with lively minds faintly guessed, could it be, and immediately couldn't help but get excited.

"Okay, let's get on the phone now." Xu Jinglei said and quickly dialed the phone, a staff member had already taken the megaphone, and the phone was quickly connected, Xu Jinglei pressed the speakerphone, and said with a smile in front of the phone: "Can you hear it?" Say hello to everyone! ”

Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene immediately held their breath and pricked up their ears, they were really too curious about this guest who helped the show.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Yuquan, can I hear your applause and shouts?"

The sound from the loudspeaker instantly reverberated through the scene.

"Oh, it's Lin Yuquan."

"Boom", the next moment the huge scene was immediately detonated.

The smile on Xu Jinglei's face became brighter and brighter, this is what she wanted. R1152
