Chapter 117: Liu Tianwang said it was great
The next day, the daily box office of "New Shaolin Temple" was 480,000, sweeping all major movie theaters. Affected by it, the box office of other films has dived, the worst is the list of "The Strongest Affair 2o11", the box office fell by 50% on the same day, and the weekly box office could have exceeded 100 million, but the result was only 8ooo.
"People in Embarrassment" was also affected, falling by 1o%. But the next day, relying on a good reputation, relying on the celebrities' Weibo recommendations, and relying on the storm of "Little Apple", it miraculously rose again, and the weekly box office exceeded 20 million It was a foregone conclusion.
Wang Xu was overjoyed, and he could finally prepare for the celebration banquet with confidence.
Three days later, the Magic City Jin Mao Hotel.
Liu Dehua was enjoying lunch in a private room of the hotel, and his female assistant walked in happily with a copy of the weekly movie newspaper.
"Andy, you read the newspaper, our movie is a big hit."
"Oh, sit down and have a cup of milk tea, I'll take a look."
Liu Dehua took the newspaper and read it, and the headline on the front page of the movie weekly newspaper was that the box office of "New Shaolin Temple" exceeded 100 million in three days.
The reporter did not hesitate to praise this film, especially Liu Tianwang's acting skills in the film. Film director Chen Musheng is very satisfied with Liu Dehua's wonderful acting skills, and said that he is optimistic that Liu Dehua, who is in the film Chinese Wushuangquan, will win the actor throne again.
Andy Lau has paid a lot for this film, in order to make his monk appearance in the film more realistic, he has always been dedicated and he did not hesitate to shave his head with his own hands, and even Chen Long, who witnessed this process, was impressed. This time, Liu Dehua deliberately practiced Shaolin Kung Fu for three months, and there were fierce action scenes such as car chases, explosions, and jumping off buildings in the film.
I saw that my hard work was recognized. A smile appeared on the corner of Liu Dehua's mouth.
"Andy, do you want to celebrate the box office hit?"
"Okay, inform the brothers, I'll have a treat in the evening, and you can choose the location."
"Great!"
While speaking, Liu Dehua drank milk tea. While turning the second page of the newspaper. I saw the front page headline on the second page, which reprinted a report by Li Wen, the chief writer of Sanxiang Morning News and a veteran reporter, with the title: "The small-budget movie "People in Embarrassment" stood out among many blockbusters and became a dark horse at the box office this week. ”
"People in Embarrassment" grossed 260,000 this week, and its investment cost was only 7oo. The cast of the film is not large, and the film and television newcomer Wang Xu plays the leading role, and he and another actor Wang Baoqiang staged a series of ridiculous embarrassments.
"Wang Xu is him!"
Liu Dehua immediately remembered who Wang Xu was, and he was still impressed by the New Year's Eve singing a week ago, what kind of popularity did "Little Apple" have. was so popular that the mobile phone ringtone of the female assistant next to him was changed to "Little Apple".
This news report successfully attracted Liu Dehua's attention and continued to read.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Xu, the star of the film, is not yet 22 years old and is still a sophomore at Xiangnan Normal University. In March last year, a "Bedroom on the Tip of the Tongue" won the championship of the 3rd National Campus Micro Film Competition, and on May 8, the first online drama "Never Expected" starring and written by him created a myth of 600 million total on-demand, and created the classic character of Wang Dazhui, becoming the most popular newcomer on the Internet.
"Wang Da Hammer turned out to be talking about him?"
Liu Dehua remembers hearing the name Wang Da Hammer several times for a while. He rarely surfs the Internet, and he doesn't have a Weibo blog, so he never knows who he is talking about.
This young man is kind of funny. Liu Dehua continued to watch while eating.
To paraphrase Wang Xu's own words, this young man became famous on the Internet like a comet. But the author wants to say that Wang Xu is still a newcomer in the film and television industry. Previously, the author and many people were watching, will this purple who is popular on the Internet and everyone loves Wang Da Hammer continue his myth in the film industry?
When he played the Oriental defeat table in "Laughing Rivers and Lakes", everyone, including the author, had a question mark, but before the author could make a judgment. "Let the Bullets Fly" is here, and Wan Xu's role as the third bandit is amazing.
Back to the question above. At this time, the author was thinking in my heart that maybe Wang Xu could continue the myth of Wang Da Hammer in the film industry, of course, just maybe. When the author thinks so. "People in Embarrassment" is here again.
This movie starring Wang Xudang created a box office dark horse, and it is also a small-budget movie that re-enacts "Crazy Stone" in O6.
A movie with a cost of only 7oo yuan, which was released in a bunch of blockbusters during the Spring Festival, competed on the same stage with blockbusters such as "New Shaolin Temple" and "The Strongest Happy Event 2o11", and it was still possible to get a weekly box office of 26oooo, isn't it a myth?
The author has already seen that Wang Xu, the wonder boy of the Internet, his mythological stories have spread from the Internet to the film industry.
The film era belonging to Wang Xu began.
This reporter Li Wen has true love for Wang Xu, and he even dares to write words like 'The movie era belonging to Wang Xu has begun'.
Liu Dehua laughed dumbly, because even he didn't dare to say anything like Liu Dehua's movie era, and this reporter's words were a bit exaggerated. Many people who saw the report were in the same mood as Liu Dehua, being a reporter was a joke of excessive praise, but it also proved that Wang Xu is indeed a genius, and he should have more praise and encouragement for young people.
"Cut, this reporter is also very good at breaking around, what's so great about the box office being only 26oo a week, he doesn't know that Andy's movie will break 100 million in three days?"
At this time, the female assistant glanced at the news and pouted.
Liu Dehua immediately corrected her mistake and said: "What you said is not right, people are really amazing." ”
"Am I wrong?"
"Of course not." Liu Dehua explained: "You haven't read the report, people's investment is only 7oo, and it is not easy for a small-budget movie to be made, and it must be recognized by the audience, and it is a great thing to sell at the box office." Every year, many small-budget films are stillborn because of budget problems, because of the lack of publicity funds, the box office is dismal, and many are not even qualified to be screened in the cinema. So this "People in Embarrassment" is amazing. ”
Liu Dehua's words came from the heart, and no one knows the difficulties of small-budget movies better than him. Because he has been engaged in a film public welfare undertaking "Asian Rising Star Director Program" for many years.
Starting with Lau Tak Wah, the program selects young directors from all over Asia and finances them to make films. The investment amount of the first phase of "Asian Rising Star Guide" is about 250,000 yuan, which is funded by Liu Dehua and provided to 6 cutting-edge directors.
The well-known mainland director Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" is the first beneficiary of Asia's new star director.
The Asian rising star director supports all small-budget films, and Liu Dehua personally participated, so he knows very well that an excellent movie like "Crazy Stone" is absolutely remarkable.
The female assistant was silent, but she was not completely convinced, and when she saw that the reporter praised the starring Wang Xu in the report, she found a place to complain and said: "I admit that it is a good movie, but you see that this reporter praised this newcomer named Wang Xu to the sky, I guess this reporter must be his friend, otherwise he wouldn't be so hard-working." ”
"Don't you think you deserve such appreciation?"
"Of course, what's there to be like about a newcomer, it's Andy, you're pretty much the same."
"Hehe, don't pat me on the back. I heard you say you want to be his fruit powder yesterday?"
"It's impossible, I don't even know this Wang Xu. Wait a minute, fruit powder? You are talking about this Wang Xu and Wang Xu who sang "Little Apple" are the same person? ”
"What do you say?"
"Wow, it's really someone who wants to be my idol!"
Liu Dehua saw that the expression on the female assistant's face changed again and again, and he had completely forgotten the dissatisfaction just now, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile again. (To be continued)
