Chapter 102: Premiere Box Office
At the premiere of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", in addition to the director and producer Xu Guangwen, as well as martial arts instructors Yuan Ba and Xiao Jiaban, there were several other main creators, Xiao Ran saw it for the first time.
Because the filming of this drama was very smooth before, it actually took less than two months from the start of filming to the premiere, and it happened that Xiao Ran was very busy during that time, and he didn't have the opportunity to visit the class at all.
However, among the several leading actors, Xiao Ran has heard their names more or less
And after Xiao Ran saw some of the footage filmed, Xiao Ran also admired director Xu Guangwen's casting ability.
The main role in this drama is naturally Dongfang Undefeated, and Xu Guangwen chose Lin Qingqing, who debuted as a star.
She is well-known to the audience for playing a martial arts movie called "Blood Phoenix", so she feels heroic!
In the play "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Dongfang Undefeated was the first male body, in order to cultivate the Sunflower Treasure Book, he chose the palace, and from a careerist who wanted to compete in the world to a daughter heart holding an embroidery needle, but she is not a simple daughter heart, because of her magic skills make her invincible.
So her whole person is still very domineering and tough, in the movie, her tenderness is only for two people, one is her concubine Shishi before the palace, this role Xu Guangwen chose a little flower girl who is famous for her sexy and coquettish, which is also in line with the image in the play.
And the other one is the first Ling Hu Chong who she met after the palace to regard her as her daughter, and even she thought about quitting the rivers and lakes with Ling Hu Chong and no longer paying attention to those negative people in the world!
Ling Hu Chong's casting is also very suitable, Xu Guangwen is also a very professional martial arts star, and he often plays some more chic and prodigal roles, which is also in line with the roles in the play.
Although it is said that a professional actor can complete any challenging role.
But sometimes there is a very important determining factor, and that is the impression of the audience!
Why is it difficult for Xing Ye to act in feature films or tragedies, because the audience is used to the way he laughs, and if Xing Ye chooses to play a bitter love scene, he will definitely be able to do it with his acting skills, but the audience may not necessarily buy it!
Because in the hearts of the audience, his image has been branded, that nonsensical appearance.
This is why Xiao Ran thinks that Xu Guangwen will choose actors, because the actors he chooses are not only recognized by the public for their acting skills, but also their images are very consistent with this play!
At the premiere, although there are many big-name stars, and even Xu Guangwen is a very big-name director, the most eye-catching is Xiao Ran.
Because he is a very successful new generation singer-songwriter musician at the moment, but he is also a novel columnist on the "People's Daily", and now he has begun to write scripts and make movies again, this kind of all-round star has been very rare in recent years.
So at the premiere, there were more questions thrown at Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran was still able to deal with it easily.
This is not to say that his eloquence is very good, but a kind of self-confidence, Xiao Ran has already achieved a remarkable achievement in this world, so he also has enough self-confidence, plus he is very smart, so he can naturally cope with many situations.
The whole premiere is no different from a general movie premiere, it is nothing more than answering some questions related to the film, talking about how you felt when you created it, and what the atmosphere of cooperation was like.
Then it was to play some clips of the movie, telling about the hard work of filming, and finally Xiao Ran was temporarily asked to sing the theme song of the movie "A Laugh in the Sea" on stage.
Since the theme song has been put on by director Xu Guangwen before this, the number of hits has already exceeded 300 million, so there are many people present who can sing.
Under Xiao Ran's singing, everyone also began to sing along, the song itself is magnificent, and then the audience sang together to make it even more shocking!
……
The box office of the premiere of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" also caused a great sensation, the number of films scheduled for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" on the same day was 44.29%, and more than 50,000 films were scheduled nationwide, and the zero attendance rate was higher than 70%!
The final result came out and the box office for the premiere exceeded 35 million!
This result has broken through the premiere box office of Xu Guangwen's last movie "Tai Chi", and this result instantly made the name Xiao Ran a myth again.
Because this is already the highest box office record for the premiere in the film industry so far, and the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is from Xiao Ran!
Some people say that he is the new hope of domestic films, some people say that he is the spokesperson of martial arts, and some people say that his movies are destined to sweep the world......
Of course, these comments can only kill an artist, because sometimes if the comments are too high, many viewers who don't know this person will feel that these comments are a bit premature, and they will start to hate the artist.
So Xiao Ran didn't get complacent about this, but what he thought about was that he had begun to gain a foothold in the film industry, and then if he continued his journey in the film industry.
And at this time, Xiao Ran received a call that he had been waiting for for a long time.
The caller was director Xu Guangwen, but in addition to greeting Xiao Ran and telling Xiao Ran about his overall box office results and influence, he also brought Xiao Ran a message that Lu Yuesheng was ready to meet him!
Lu Yuesheng is also the boss of Struggle Film Company, and he is also the big financial hose behind Xu Guangwen, and most of the funds invested in the movies shot by Xu Guangwen are Lu Yuesheng.
The industry under the name of this legend is not only a film company, but also invests in nearly 100 cities across the country, mainly in the name of the group Yida Plaza, which includes five-star hotels and rental properties, as well as Xiao Ran's most favored Yida Cinema!
There are nearly 200 large-scale cinemas in the country, and almost all movies are released through Yida Cinemas to accumulate most of the box office.
And Xiao Ran's Tianlai Network, where he uploads his music works, was also founded by Yida Group!
At the beginning, there were many such music websites, but in the end, Yida used a high-scoring star singer strategy to defeat these websites and acquire them, becoming a monopolist in the entire industry!
And Lu Yuesheng has also become the richest man in China this year, and such a figure now offers to meet Xiao Ran in person, so Xu Guangwen is naturally very cautious to explain his situation to Xiao Ran.
