To a certain extent, the results of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" are indeed too miserable, which can be seen from the box office on the first day of the movie's release.

The investment in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" is about 30 million soft girl coins, and if you want to recover the cost purely by relying on the box office of the movie, you also need at least 70 or 80 million box office results.

Of course, even the investors of the film themselves did not expect the film to achieve such a huge box office result, and more expectations were still on the 'award'.

It is impossible for a movie with a love theme to rely on the surrounding industry to make money.

So in the end, after the discussion of the film's production company, the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" was finally able to get a box office result of 40 million, plus the invisible benefits brought by some awards, and it was able to make a small profit.

30 million box office results plus awards, barely able to keep the capital.

But reality gave them a heavy punch.

The box office results of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" on the first day were only 2.6 million, which is simply outrageous.

Although a large part of the reason is because it was only released at night, it can only be regarded as a small half a day, but this result is indeed a bit helpless.

If it can't be like the movie "Night Banquet" that Men Jie participated in before, the box office exploded several times in the middle, I'm afraid the limit of this movie is about 30 million box office!

Of course, because not long ago, the box office performance of the movie "Night Banquet" performed by Men showed a strange outbreak, and many people are also looking forward to the box office of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" to explode a little.

At least in the first week of the box office, it can look a little better.

But the truth is often speechless.

This time, the box office growth rate of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" is very normal, and it is no different from the data predicted by many experts.

The box office of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" was 2.6 million soft girl coins on the first day, and the box office in the first week was only 12 million.

First week box office. is even much worse than the first-day box office of Menjie's previous movie "Night Banquet" of 16 million.

It is conceivable that the box office performance of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" is absolutely infinitely poor!

Even during this time, Menjie even heard that the producer of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" had contacted many theaters and held various activities.

For example, some movie theaters carry out activities such as 'a man can take a woman to watch a movie for free if he buys a full-price ticket', or he looks for a couple directly on the street and gives out movie tickets for free.

For some movies that do well at the box office, this kind of 'discounting' method is often self-defeating, and cheap movie tickets will give people a feeling of 'bad box office'. makes people no longer expect this movie, which will greatly reduce the revenue of the movie.

At the same time, for the theater, unless the distributor of the film has a very deep background, or simply pays for it at a private loss. Otherwise, discounted movie tickets will affect the interests of theaters, and at the same time, audiences will refuse others. Watch movies in theaters without discounted events. It will greatly damage the interests of the theater chain.

Even if it is a deep personal relationship, as long as it involves the issue of interests, there will be no mercy, and it will indeed have a great impact on the movie itself.

However, for the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", which is really not good at the box office, even if it is a movie that has much impact, it is not bad.

At least in the next few years!

Of course. The big profit mentioned here is nothing in the eyes of Menjie.

In fact, long before the filming of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", the contract between Menjie and the crew had been written very clearly.

As the actor of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", Men Jie will fully comply with the director's orders during the filming of the film. But after the film is finished, Menjie will not have any obligation to do anything for the film.

Anything that is said here, the main thing is naturally propaganda work!

If the box office performance of the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" is very good, in order to earn more popularity and points, Menjie will also take the initiative to take on the publicity work, but the box office performance of the movie is so bad......

Menjie is really not in the mood to participate in the promotion of the movie.

is not even just Menjie, the big-name actors in the entire crew, only Xu Ruoxuan is the only one who follows the crew to work hard every day to carry out the filming work, Menjie and Li Bingbin In addition to hindering the director's face and attending the premiere ceremony on the first day, they did not follow the crew to be responsible for the publicity work at all.

During this time, Li Bingbin has accepted the invitation of the famous director Du Qifeng in Xiangjiang to participate in a movie called "Butterfly Flying", which is currently in training, and it is said that filming will officially start after a while.

It is said that the movie called "Butterfly Flying" is also a love film, and it is also aiming for the award, which shows how eager Li Bingbin is for winning the award and sealing the award at this time.

Although Menjie knew that the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" would inevitably make Li Bingbin successfully sealed, Li Bingbin didn't know that he wanted to make more movies that might win awards, so that he had a better chance of being closed as soon as possible.

Menjie didn't say much about this, although filming the movie called "Butterfly Flying" was more of a waste of time, but idleness was idle, and Menjie didn't have any good scripts in her hands, so let her shoot it first......

During this time, Menjie was also very busy, practicing the ability to integrate the two temperaments every day, and also attended the celebration banquet of the movie "Night Banquet", and every day he was studying a book called "Color? The novel of "Ring" studies such a role of the male protagonist in it, and watches and figures it out over and over again in the Tianwang system.

Although he didn't think he could beat Leung Chaowei head-on in the audition, he had to go all out.

Finally, time passed, and it was the last day that Menjie was able to stay in Huaxia.

At the same time, it is also the day of audition for the movie "Lust and Caution".

"There are so many big-name stars!"

Walking in an office building in Xiangjiang, Menjie turned his eyes slightly, and saw several celebrities not far away, although they were not familiar, but I am afraid that not only Menjie, but no one could not recognize the big-name stars. couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, today's competitors are really stronger than the other.

But think about it, after all, he is one of the top directors in China, and he is the most famous Chinese director in the world, and his new movie, I'm afraid there won't be anyone who doesn't want to star, right?

The resume of the Li case is definitely legendary!

As early as 1995, Li won seven Oscar nominations for the movie "Sense and Sensibility", officially becoming the most eye-catching Chinese director at the Oscars.

Afterwards. In 1999, Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001 with the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Although people are used to hearing about which film has received a lot of enthusiasm abroad, in fact. All non-English films are the highest glory in the entire world. It is an award such as the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not the first to be nominated. But it is the only Chinese-language film in the history of the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film so far!

Just such an honor is enough to make Li Case the most famous Chinese director in the world, and there is no one!

Not only that, but in 2006, the Li case once again relied on the movie "Brokeback Mountain". In one fell swoop, he won the Oscar for Best Director in the world, which no matter which country the director wants.

In an instant, director Li Case was among the top directors in the world!

Although it is a step worse than Spielberg, James Cameron and other top commercial film directors in the world, Li Case is definitely the most famous Chinese director in the world. Every movie will receive the attention of countless foreigners, and it is definitely a great weapon for those who want to open up foreign markets.

In the whole of Huaxia, except for the 'three', there is not a single person who is not eager to cooperate with the Li case.

Wang Lihong, Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu...... These three people, like me, all came to audition for the No. 1 actor in the movie "Lust and Caution", and they are indeed fierce rivals! ”

Frowning slightly, looking at the three people in the distance, Menjie couldn't help frowning.

Of these three people, Wang Lihong's fame is even more than his own, Jin Chengwu's acting skills are also extremely sharp, and Liang Chaowei needless to say.

You don't have to think about it, today is definitely a battle of dragons and tigers!

"Menjie is here?"

These three men are not very familiar with each other, and the most familiar is Jin Chengwu, who once auditioned for the leading role in the movie "Night Banquet" with Men Jie, and couldn't help but say hello when they met.

"Brother Wu, didn't you decide to participate in the role of the movie "Red Cliff" some time ago? Why did you come here to audition? ”

Looking at Jin Chengwu with some surprise, Men Jie couldn't help asking.

Some time ago, the news came out, which shook the entire Chinese film industry.

Directed by China's top director Wu Yusen, and jointly created by a number of film and television companies in the mainland, Xiangjiang and the United States, "Red Cliff", which is known as the "epic film with the largest investment in China", is being cast, and not long ago, a lot of news came out.

So far, Jin Chengwu, Zhao Wei, Zhang Zhen, Hu Jun and others have been selected to participate, basically except for the news of the movie actor, the other roles have been revealed.

Although Menjie was not very interested in this movie after watching the news of this movie, other people were obviously very interested in this movie, and Jin Chengwu in front of Menjie at this time was no exception.

""Red Cliff" is said to have a lot of preliminary work in preparation, and the attack will take a while before it can be officially put into filming, and it just so happened that during this time, I heard that Director Li was casting, so I came over, who doesn't want to participate in Director Li's movie?"

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Jin Chengwu said with a natural look, "But aren't you filming Warner Bros.'s "Spartan 300 Warriors" during this time?" Why did you come back so soon? Still going to audition for a film directed by Lee? ”

"That movie is about to be completed, and you also know that it's like the kind of movie that mainly relies on CG skills, and there aren't a lot of actors who need to shoot it!"

Menjie also unabashedly revealed his news, but it aroused the interest of Liang Chaowei on the side.

"What's it like to make a movie in the United States? It's very different from Huaxia, right? ”

"The difference is indeed not small, at least filming over there is more relaxed, and there is more time to rest every day, hahaha!"

Nodding slightly, Menjie also chuckled and told some interesting stories about the filming of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors".

Menjie was talking here, and even Wang Lihong on the side rushed over to listen to it.

This year, Wang Lihong's development in the Chinese music scene has almost reached its limit, and he is transitioning to the film industry, and he is also more interested in the foreign film and television circles that Menjie talked about.

"The actors who auditioned for the movie "Lust and Caution" are here!"

When the four of them were chatting, they also completed the auditions for several other young actors, and in the blink of an eye, it was the turn of the male lead, and under the greeting of a staff member, the four of them entered the audition room in turn.

ranked by popularity, qualifications, and influence in the film industry, Menjie ranked third and entered the room in front of Wang Lihong.

Entering the room, Menjie was the first to find director Ang Lee, who was sitting in the first place not far away.

For most companies, the producer may occupy the dominant position, but in the face of a big director at the level of the Li case, the producer's voice is really not very large.

Today, there are only three people in charge of the casting of the movie "Lust and Caution", the director Li Case sitting in the center position, and the two middle-aged women sitting on the left and right sides, respectively the screenwriter of the movie "Lust and Caution" and the original author of the novel.

"Liang Chaowei, Jin Chengwu, Menjie and Wang Lihong?"

Looking at the Menjie and the others, Li An nodded slightly, but when his eyes fell on Menjie's body, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Originally, director Li was very optimistic about Menjie, and his own strength was on the one hand, because of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", he also heard many of his director friends mention it and praised Menjie.

But......

Just some time ago, when preparing for casting, the producer of the movie mentioned Menjie intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that Menjie participated in the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", and he would definitely be able to have a certain popularity in foreign countries soon, so he suggested that Li choose Menjie to participate in the leading actor of the movie.

It's a good word, but in the eyes of Li Case, who has never liked people to criticize his casting work and directorial work, not only is he very dissatisfied with the producer, but even Menjie has suffered a little unwarranted.

Although I still have a good impression of Menjie in my heart, it has also decreased a lot, and in general, there are not many additional favorites.

Of course, even if it was the original matter of the Zhilu Dao matter, Menjie would not have any other thoughts, and would only regard it as an obstacle from the Heavenly King system.

After all, when using the 'Audition Voucher' before, the original 50% success rate and achievement have been reduced to 10%, and Menjie is also ready to take no special care.

Everything depends on strength! (To be continued......)
