Chapter Eighty-Eight: Du Qifeng's Waterloo

"Big Event" is a Cannes Film Festival exhibitor, Du Qifeng sent "Big Event" to Cannes after the exhibition has won a good reputation, and even the Cannes Film Festival Selection Organizing Committee has repeatedly asked "Big Event" why it did not participate in the competition since it has chosen to send the film to the exhibition. The answer given by Du Qifeng and Galaxy Imaging is that the film was only filmed at the end of April, and the editing and other work have not yet had time to get started, so they really can't compete for the Cannes Film Festival.

Actually?

I'm afraid that only Du Qifeng knows the reason!

In order to win the box office, Galaxy Imaging reversed the matter with Huayi and exploded in black and white, and then sent the film to Cannes to compete at this juncture, once the other party stumbled, can they stand it? The lineup and total investment of "Big Event" are 25 million Hong Kong dollars in real money, if this is banned in the mainland, then Du Qifeng will really have to cry.

One of the reasons why "The Devil is Coming" was banned was that the script was not reported, and the plot was not modified according to the advice given by radio and television.

On the first day of the premiere of "Big Event", a media trend began, and in order to let Du Qifeng win the ring, the media in Xiangjiang began to tout indiscriminately whether the movie was really so good, what Cannes had a good reputation, what box office on the first day was as high as 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, in short, what was good to hear, what to praise.

During this time, Shao Yingying did not move, so he stayed at home to take care of the children and watch the news. Leisurely like an old lady, stable to the extreme.

"Big Event" can't win, Shao Yingying has the bottom in his heart!

At the beginning, Wei Jiahui didn't understand it too well. But at the moment when the schedule came out, Wei Jiahui didn't even complain to Hua Yi, because the defeat of "Big Event" was decided.

As we all know, in 2004, there was a black fog storm in Xiangjiang and Guangdong, and the direct impact of this natural scene on the film industry was the release of "The Day After Tomorrow", which accompanied the natural phenomenon landing in Xiangjiang and the mainland, "The Day After Tomorrow" began to premiere on June 1, and the promoter even played the slogan of "the strongest disaster film in history". In order to avoid the collision with "The Day After Tomorrow", "Big Event" put the schedule on June 10. The entire Galaxy company thinks that ten days is enough to make people forget about "The Day After Tomorrow" and think of the "Big Event" of the local system, but what is the result?

They watched "The Day After Tomorrow", but ignored another epic masterpiece!

"Troy" made a beautiful return to the horse and landed on the two sides of the strait in the early morning of June 9!!!

"Troy", which invested $180 million, helped Shao Yingying give "Big Event" a beautiful slap in the face. When the entire Xiangjiang helped Du Qifeng promote "The Big Event" with a first-day box office of 900,000 Hong Kong dollars, surpassing "The Day After Tomorrow" with 580,000 Hong Kong dollars and winning a tough battle, the strong rise of "Troy" made "The Big Event" have no other way but to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!

Du Qifeng is too back. He couldn't even push the schedule forward if he wanted to. Because in front of "The Day After Tomorrow", there is also "Shrek II.", which is widely loved by friends of all ages. In the end, "Big Event" can only survive in the gap between "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", just like the splint of a daughter-in-law on one side and a mother on the other, and you have to endure it.

On June 18th, the results of the release week of "Big Event" were put on the table, and the Xiangjiang box office squeezed out 4 million in the struggle, and the mainland box office did not even reach 3 million.

As soon as this group of numbers came out, there was no need for Shao Yingying to stand up and slap his face, and the media in Xiangjiang and the mainland who praised Du Qifeng all shut up. What else is there to say? Shame on you!

In the end, "Big Event" came up with a box office of 8 million in Xiangjiang and 4 million in the mainland during the entire period. Such achievements are not to mention "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy", and even "Savage Sister", which was released at the same time, surpassed "Big Event" a lot, and Galaxy won word of mouth in Cannes and hyped up movies with scandals - the results are at the bottom.

From Shao Yingying's point of view, "Big Event" is a good movie, whether it is the killer and the thief eating at the same table or the finale in which the killer robs the robber and the robber kills the killer is very innovative, but there is a fact that everyone has to admit that the police and bandit shootout film Xiangjiang and the people of the mainland have been watching it for 20 years, even if you shoot with a strong sense of novelty, the scene of the street fight in the corridor is still the same as "Full-time Killer", right? Ren Xianqi encountered Chen Huilin's restraint on the bus, is it still similar to Liu Dehua and Meng Jiahui in "Dark War"?

So why not watch "The Day After Tomorrow"?

At least high-tech!

So why not go see "Troy"?

At least an epic masterpiece, right? The girl can also take a look at Pete's appearance!

Want to beat a Hollywood blockbuster with new wine in an old bottle? I'm afraid this is not enough.

"Mr. Wang, I, Shao Yingying."

When Shao Yingying was completely sunk in "The Big Event", he called Wang Zhongjun: "Is it too late for "Accident" to change the schedule now? ”

"What's going on, isn't it set half a year in advance, why do you remember to change the schedule?"

"Mr. Wang, didn't I get entangled with my child recently, and I didn't have much time to publicize, now that Yuanyuan has also recovered, I can also publicize, we can't put "Accident" on without publicity, right? Help, please discuss with the theater bosses and help change it on August 22nd. ”

Shao Yingying is so bad that he is home!

Because he didn't agree to set the schedule for July!

At that time, Shao Yingying was silent, firstly, he had no experience in the box office market, and secondly, he didn't believe that he couldn't even hear the schedule of "Accident" with Du Qifeng's name, so he set up a special set. Don't forget that "Accident" was filmed before "Big Event", and there is only one hype tool for both sides, so it must be who is released first and who takes advantage, which is clear to fools.

Hua Yi set the schedule in July to help Shao Yingying, and they set the schedule in July to force Du Qifeng to set the schedule in June, after all, the movie "Big Event" was only filmed in April, and it took two months to shoot.

Therefore, Shao Yingying said that Du Qifeng was decided. He knew that Du Qifeng couldn't win "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Troy" at all!!

Even if Du Qifeng ruthlessly treats the editing as a donkey, and cuts the film in advance and sets the schedule for May, Shao Yingying is not afraid, there is a giant bomb "Shrek II" waiting in front of "The Day After Tomorrow". You Du Qifeng either choose to let "Accident" be released first, or choose to die, you choose!

Obviously, Du Qifeng is a hard-tempered person, and when he is angry, he chooses to die.

When "Big Event" was dead, Shao Yingying began to get busy. Changing the promotional film, changing the release time of the subway and bus stations in Beijing, and taking the crew to various places to promote entertainment programs, the whole person is as busy as a spinning top.

The most interesting thing is the promotional video of "Accident", which is very clever. When the promotional video was played in the Shonan TV ace variety show, the lights went out, and the terrifying atmosphere in the darkness was presented at once.

A somewhat blank voice appeared: "Do you believe that all the accidents in this world are real?" ”

After the ancient voice was heard, a column of white letters typed out on the screen along with the sound. That moment. There was silence for a full three seconds......

……

……

……

Touch!!!!!

A drum sounded, and a dazzling array of shots quickly appeared on the screen, switching so fast that it was impossible to see what the picture was. When the picture was frozen, the four-person team led by Shao Yingying was sitting on the sofa in a room, and the topographic sand table was placed on the coffee table in front of them. ”

The suspense ensues!

The first person to be killed appeared, and his car was blocked by a banner as it turned from a crowded street into an alley. The impatient car owner grabbed the banner and desperately tore it to vent his anger, and at that moment, a wire rope used to fix it suddenly broke......

Syllable!

The whipped blow of the wire rope shattered the second-floor windows. The entire shot is recorded in slow motion until the glass on the upper floor shatters and reflects the sunlight down...... The next shot is the owner looking upstairs.

Burst!

The screen dimmed, and the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the body appeared, and the owner of the car was lying on the ground at the moment and kept twitching, and blood flowed on the ground.

Shao Yingying followed the crowd and gathered around the owner of the car, watching him convulse and die.

The promotional video did not release the moment when the owner was killed, nor did it explain why he killed him, but at the beginning Fu Biao asked, 'How can he die?' And then the man died.

"Ah!!h

The second after the promotional video, a movie theater appeared in the picture, and a young couple was watching a movie in the movie theater, and when the girl watched the murderous scene on the screen, she got into the arms of a man, and when the man was holding his girlfriend like a flower......

The old voice appeared again: "On August 22nd, "Accident" will meet you on Valentine's Day, even he can kiss his favorite girl in this movie, what are you waiting for?" ”

The man in the movie theater turned around at this moment, and that person was called Huang Bo......

……

Our own Valentine's Day, thriller, this is Shao Yingying's gimmick for "Accident", he dismisses the media's previous noisy gambling appointments, and doesn't take it seriously at all.

In 2004, China didn't care much about Qixi Festival, and the Qixi Festival did not have many people on February 14, when the artist used this festival as a publicity point to promote, and even the subway could be seen everywhere, some florists smelled the smell. One more Valentine's Day is equivalent to another large amount of income for them, and there is no reason not to speculate?

As a result, the flower shops in the streets and alleys have put out the "Qixi Valentine's Day Flower Reward" brand, their flower shops acted, and the major shopping malls also began to climb along the pole, and the Qixi Valentine's Day set off a boom in China.

For unmarried men, this is of course a good opportunity to 'snap and bang', even if they don't have any money in their pockets, they have to go out and have a good time, and for women, this is simply another reason to mix with their boyfriends or future boyfriends.

The festival is out, and the major shopping malls are paying a lot of money, so you can't go to open a room after shopping in the mall, right? I have to take a subtle step so that the girls who go to school can't go back to the dormitory, and the girls who go to work can't go back to their homes and units, right? You can't spend the money, and the meat can't be touched!

So, what else can you do after dinner?

In addition to singing, there is only going to watch movies.

Everyone says that our entertainment life is becoming more and more colorful, but in fact, it is just as boring for people who do not have enough cabbage in their pockets. (To be continued......)
