Chapter 104: "Let the Bullets Fly" flew high at the box office
The fifty-minute interview was over, and it wasn't until the film started playing that Wang Xu calmed down his excitement because of his brother's compliment.
"Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green, the evening breeze blows the willow flute, the sunset outside the mountain is the end of the sky, the corner of the earth, and the acquaintance is half scattered"
The movie begins with a beautiful song "Farewell", accompanied by singing, a magnificent momentum rushes to the face. Judging from the beautiful and high-definition picture quality in the movie, this is a real blockbuster, compared to "Laughing Jianghu" is actually a pseudo-blockbuster, and the texture and high-definition of the picture cannot be compared with "Let the Bullets Fly".
The 132-minute film, with continuous laughter throughout the whole process, "Let the Bullets Fly" was finished, and the audience burst into long and warm applause.
Wang Xu knew that "Let the Bullets Fly" was successful, and the actors in the crew all stood up and applauded.
"Congratulations to Director Jiang, it's so exciting!"
"Congratulations to Director Jiang, the film is a success!"
"Congratulations, Director Jiang's film must be a big hit!"
Many guests and senior media personnel stood up and walked in front of the director to congratulate them. Wang Xu and other main actors also gathered around the director, and everyone was very happy and said hello to each other.
Zhou Yan and Wang Xu hugged happily and said with a smile: "Sledgehammer, the third child is very distinctive!" โ
"Thank you brother for your reputation!"
Wang Xu was very beautiful in his heart, and a reporter-like person walked up to him and said politely: "Hello Wang Xu, congratulations!" I'm Li Wen, a reporter from Xiaoxiang Morning News, and I am very impressed by the third child, and I like your performance very much. โ
It's still interesting enough for people from his hometown, Wang Xu hurriedly shook hands with Reporter Li and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment!" โ
Reporter Li was about to interview Wang Xu. Interrupted by a shout.
"Brother Jiang Wen, Ge Ge worried, Chen Kun, Wang Xu"
It turned out that the fans in the back began to shout the actor's name loudly. After watching the film at the screening, there are only two situations when fans shout the names of the actors, one is too bad, they want to complain, and the other is too exciting. They were thrilled to praise.
Obviously, the fans at the scene were going to praise them.
Wang Xu was happy to hear his name called, and then all the main creators, nearly 20 people, walked on the stage together to accept everyone's cheers and reporters' questions.
On the stage, Jiang Wen, Zhou Yan, and Ge Wei. Chen Kun and Wang Xu became the focus of attention, and all reporters were asking questions to the five.
The enthusiastic questions of reporters and friends made Wang Xu have an illusion at this time, as if he could burst out of a strong light under the light of his brother and others, as if he had become the protagonist. The feeling of being a superstar.
Wang Xu found the feeling he had when he was interviewed by reporters for the first time a few months ago, and he was excited and happy in his heart.
"Director Jiang, congratulations first, the film is really good."
At this time, Wang Xu saw that Li Wen, a reporter from Xiangchen Daily, seized the opportunity to ask a question.
Jiang Wen was smiling, and he was also very happy and excited: "Thank you for your support!" โ
Li Wen asked, "Director Jiang, my first question is are you satisfied with the performances of Chen Kun and Wang Xu?" How many points can be scored out of 10. โ
Jiang Wen laughed and said, "Chen Kun successfully broke through his own previous performance style. I gave him a perfect 10; Wang Xu's performance is also wonderful, and the third child, who was not very brilliant at all, has become very scene-stealing under his interpretation. I almost robbed me of the limelight of the boss Zhang Mazi, I gave him a 9 points, and deducted one point from him because he was still young, and I was afraid that he would be proud and complacent. โ
When the director spoke, Wang Xu and Chen Kun next to him looked sรจ, "My second question I want to ask Wang Xu." Now how do you rate yourself? โ
"I'm very happy with my performance, let's give it an eight. I'm not proud of that, hahaha! โ
Wang Xu smiled happily. Reporter Li then asked him another question and asked him to predict the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly".
In the time and space of the earth, "Let the Bullets Fly" passed the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" and became the mainland box office champion of Chinese films that year.
Wang Xu said without hesitation: "Director, he doesn't dare to imagine how much the box office is, I dare to think that the final box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" will break the 1o billion mark, if it doesn't break 1o billion, I will swim in the Yangtze River in this winter." โ
Wang Xu's words were amazing, and his words caused an uproar at the scene. There are only a handful of Chinese movies with a box office of more than 1 billion, and there are only thirteen over the years, and even the confident Jiang Wen does not dare to boast that "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely break 1 billion.
Hurriedly a reporter rushed to ask: "Wang Xu, do you mean that the box office broke 1o billion, if not, swim in the Yangtze River in the winter?" โ
"Of course, in front of so many reporters, I will say it again, "Let the Bullets Fly" is very good, of course I am confident that the box office will exceed 1o billion within a month, if not, I will swim naked in the Yangtze River in the winter of this year."
"Good!"
Jiang Wen took the lead and applauded the crew and actors, they were all infected by Wang Xu's heroic words, and it is natural to have confidence that the film is so exciting!
So at about 1o o'clock in the evening of the same day, a headline party news appeared on Weibo, Tieba and major web portals "Wang Dazhui swims naked in the Yangtze River, and the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 1o billion! โ
Looking at the title, I really thought that Wang Dazhui was going to swim the Yangtze River naked, and I really thought that the box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" had exceeded 1o billion, so this news was very attractive and quickly became the headline.
The various media outlets that had a sneak peek, film critics expressed enthusiastic articles, and praised "Let the Bullets Fly", second only to "Inception".
The next day, "Let the Bullets Fly" was grandly released in major theaters across the country, with a daily box office of 750o in the mainland, 35o in Xiangjiang, and 86o in Keelung, totaling 871o rooms in the daily box office.
In the next two days, the box office has refreshed this year's degree, breaking the 100 million and 200 million marks one after another.
On December 15th, the fifth day after the release of the film, Wang Xu participated in the celebration banquet held by the crew in Xiangjiang, and at the media conference, producer Ma Ke announced on the spot that according to incomplete statistics from the industry's China Film, the film was released for five days, and the box office exceeded 400 million.
Mr. Ma also optimistically estimated that there was no problem with the box office breaking 100 million, and joked: "I'm really sorry, I know that many friends want to see Wang Dazhui swim naked on the Yangtze River, maybe this idea is about to be shattered." However, Sledgehammer should be happy and successfully saved his jade body. โ
These words drew laughter from the audience.
"Let the Bullets Fly" not only flew high at the box office, but also praised word-of-mouth. Many artists in the circle praised it for being wonderful. For example, on the night of the celebration banquet, Lin Qingxia, a famous actor who had quietly watched "Let the Bullets Fly", specially asked her friend director Yang Fan to bring congratulations, she used "the best movie I have seen in the past ten years" to describe "Bullet", and also sent a six-character mantra to Director Jiang Wen - "Genius genius? genius" as a way to express his appreciation.
After watching the film, the celebrity guest Rong Zuer connected several "bullet" Weibo posts in the early morning, and her excitement was self-evident, and she first praised "Let the Bullets Fly" as "2O11's must-see choice!" Fly! He also said that when he got home, he was still reminiscing about the movie, while carefully reading the "bullet" feature of the current issue of "Ming Pao Weekly", and also exposed a photo taken for her by her brother 7 years ago, "I wish "Let the Bullets Fly" continue to be a big success. โ
After the banquet, Wang Xu actually received a red envelope of one million yuan, Jiang Wen explained, of which 5o million was his screenwriter's remuneration, because several scenes he helped design in the film were evaluated by fans as very exciting, and now that the film is a big hit, he should get this part of the remuneration.
Of course, Wang Xu was happy to have money, and he also took the opportunity to resign from the director, saying that he would not participate in the promotional tiger celebration reception in Taiwan*wan, Cannes, and Singapore, because the film "People in Embarrassment" starring him also reached the most important juncture of publicity, and there was no entertainment.
Jiang Wen expressed his understanding, and patted Wang Xu on the shoulder and said: "I'm still the eldest brother, if your film uses my place in terms of publicity, I will definitely help you, big brother, don't be polite to me." โ
"Thank you, boss, I really need you to help me introduce Han Sanping of China Film, Chairman Han."
"This kind of trivial thing is wrapped up in me, when will "People in Embarrassment" be released?"
"If one qiฤ shun lรฌ Yuan Yue No. 2."
"Okay, I see, I'll definitely buy a ticket to the cinema to see your movie." (To be continued)
