"But have you noticed that our film, a tragedy and a comedy, can play a role in foreshadowing?" Feng Xiaogang smiled very thiefly, "If you look at the painting skin first, and then look at the mobile phone, and improve each other's box office, have you ever considered it?" ”

Lin Xiao glanced at Feng Xiaogang in surprise, he deserved to be the closest person to a great director, and his mind was lively, which can be seen.

"None of this year's opponents are easy." Feng Xiaogang glanced at Lin Xiao, who was silent, and then said, "Director Zhang Da is holding back his strength to avenge last year's revenge." Needless to say, Director Chen Da, Farewell My Concubine can be described as the most award-winning Chinese film. But ......"

"The two of them have similar film types, and they are both atmospheric, which will invisibly rob the audience!"

"We don't, we can even foreshadow! Form a small loop! ”

"Have you ever thought that Huayi and Dawn will form an ally?" Feng Xiaogang finally said his purpose, and looked at Lin Xiao a little nervously, "You go first, let's play a big game with the two big directors at the end of the year?" ”

Only when you have seen the painted skin can you understand the shock brought by the modified painted skin! That kind of complete subversion of human nature and classical mythology has made Feng Xiaogang unforgettable.

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and he also stared at Feng Xiaogang.

It's really big enough, this is a joint pit of two big directors!

One is the national teacher of the Chinese film industry, and the other is the prime minister of Chinese films.

However, what he hesitated the most was, should he believe Feng Xiaogang?

The schedule of the film is the biggest secret of every company, once it is leaked, in case it is surrounded and suppressed by several other films, even if it is a four-star script, it will have to return with hatred.

He pondered.

"I swore and you still don't believe me?" Feng Xiaogang was anxious, "I'm facing the three of you alone, you look up to my brother too much!" Lao Wang also knows about this matter, and this is also what he meant! Veteran directors want to dominate the domestic film industry, and if they are allowed to sit down, it will be difficult for newcomers to come out. ”

Lin Xiao still didn't speak.

Because he knows that ambush and Wuji on all sides, how miserable the reputation of these two films is, it can be described as miserable.

"Good! The mobile phone schedule is on December 15th! Feng Xiaogang gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "You open your mouth, do you want to be a friend of my brother!" ”

"If you don't nod, I hope you don't tell the schedule."

Lin Xiao sighed, "Director Feng, you are actually too worried. ”

He looked at Feng Xiaogang and said word by word, "Wuji and the ambush on all sides are definitely not comparable to your mobile phone!" ”

Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly: "Don't bring such comforting people." ”

Lin Xiao didn't explain, "But my brother's proposal is really good." ”

"I promise you!" He stretched out his hand towards Feng Xiaogang, and the hands of the two shook together, "The schedule for painting skin is set for December 10th!" ”

……

The tenth, soon to come.

Paint the skin with no luck. Because of the same schedule, there are also Wuji and ten ambushes!

On the day the schedule was announced, the industry was in an uproar.

This luck is too bad!

Popular films, contemporary film and many other influential magazines have expressed their opinions.

"At the end of this year, I'm afraid it's a sleepless night." In popular movies, Gu Xiaobai, one of several famous mouths, said, "Wang Bo, who was stunning last year, and Director Lin this year, encountered the highlight in the first round, I am afraid that no company's films in China are willing to meet the films of the two major directors in the same schedule." Painted skin is in a very disadvantageous position. ”

"After the premiere in China, it will be released worldwide ten days later, and the box office in China will more or less affect the judgment of other countries." A deputy editor-in-chief also wrote in person, "But we don't have to be so anxious, Director Lin since his debut, a few years to do what others can do for decades, last year, the world no thieves announced to us the birth of a dark horse, and this year, the painting skin may be a dark horse again!" ”

Some are not optimistic, some have a wait-and-see attitude, and some even bet that Lin Xiao will climb to a new level.

For a time, there were different opinions.

Zhang Yimou is the battle of revenge, Chen Kaige is the battle of diligence, and Lin Xiao is the battle of fame.

None of them will take a step back, everything that needs to be done is done, and the rest is to speak with quality!

This is a guessing technique, they are guessing whether Lin Xiao should be willing to play one-on-one with them, so they will definitely not choose the hottest period in the middle, so they will only fight at the beginning of the month and the end of the month.

They thought they had guessed correctly, but in fact, Lin Xiao didn't take these two films seriously at all. It was only because of the negotiation with Feng Xiaogang that it was decided to release it at the earliest, making this good start!

That's the good thing about prophets.

In the dawn, after Qin Zhong learned the news, he nervously chased after Lin Xiao for a long time and asked if he was sure.

"You ask me, I don't know, the market is the most faithful data." Lin Xiao said.

In the midst of all the attention, countless people's eyes are focused on Wanda.

During this time, Wanda gritted its teeth and made a bloody investment. The national tour press conference, the money they paid, the premiere, the money they paid, the overseas publicity, also their money.

And in front of the several cinemas that Wanda took the lead in opening up, nothing but painting skin!

At six o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yongliang actually came to Wanda outside with a glass of KFC Coke.

He wants to see the box office of the painted skin on the first day with his own eyes, Wanda has already started to spend millions and tens of millions of dollars, and without a good box office, he can't sleep.

The red carpet was rolled out from the entrance of the theater.

This is Beijing Wanda, because of the geographical location, this is also Wanda's first big screen in the country!

Time ticked by. At half past six, pedestrians began to walk towards Wanda.

"It's half past six." Zhang Yongliang unconsciously shook the empty Coke cup in his hand, and the unmelted ice cubes made a "dong dong" sound, "Everyone who has eaten has also eaten, and the painted skin will be released at eight o'clock for the first show, and the second one at ten o'clock." It's time for people to come, too. ”

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly threw the Coke cup into the trash, and said solemnly, "Director Gong, are you here too?" ”

"Hmm." A middle-aged woman, accompanied by three or four people, walked over, "If you don't come to see it, I'm not sure." ”

Zhang Yongliang said with a smile, "I've seen the copy, it's a very good film, I don't think it's lost to any blockbuster." ”

"You think I haven't seen it?" Director Gong's anxious expression was overflowing: "What's the point?" Which film is a fuel-efficient lamp at the end of the year? In the first schedule of the painted skin, he encountered Wuji and the ambush on all sides, who can put his mind at ease? ”

"The films of the two major directors encircle and suppress newcomers, and the three major films meet unexpectedly, how can you put your mind at ease? ! I'm not afraid to tell you that the eyes of the board are here now! ”

As the minutes passed, Zhang Yongliang and Director Gong's faces were full of excitement.

It's crowded!

After seven o'clock, pedestrians on the road rushed to the gate of Wanda from all directions as if they had agreed.

A car with bright red lights stopped, and a person with an expectant face had come to the door of the first Wanda Cinema!

Zhang Yongliang and Director Gong, neither of them spoke, but their breathing had involuntarily become thicker, and their eyes never moved away from the crowd.

You can vaguely hear "Soon, it's going to begin." "Damn, why are there so many people?!" "Isn't it! It's not going to sell out, is it? ”

Not only did they not expect it, but even many viewers themselves did not expect it.

Among them, there is Lin Xiao's cumulative TV influence in the first two years, the aftermath of last year's thief-free world, the novelty of Trinity, the support of loyal fans, and Wanda's crazy throwing money at money as a number.

"A painted skin." "A painted skin." "Three painted skins."

The sound of one after another echoed at the door of the theater.

Wanda Cinema Line, there is no financial problem, Wanda Group often invests billions or tens of billions of dollars, and their cinema line only signed a painting skin on this day!

In other words, these crowds are all here for the painted skin!

At 7:45, before Wanda Cinema, the black pressed a crowd!

"Not bad." Director Gong's voice trembled slightly, no one saw it, and her hands behind her back were clenched tightly.

"Very good, very good." She forced her excitement, seemingly relaxed, but in fact relieved, she tried to maintain a natural look, "The data team is fully ready?" ”

"It's already done." Zhang Yongliang also controlled the excitement in his heart, if the painting skin became an instant hit, they would be the heroes of Wanda Cinema's expansion of territory" Wuji, which was released at the same time, ambushed on all sides, will start counting immediately after the first show! ”

Almost at the same time, the Beijing New Film Association, the cinema of China Film Star Beauty, staged the same scene as Wanda.

In a luxurious box, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, as well as the art director of the new picture, and the investors who are ambushed on all sides, are all vividly visible.

"Director Zhang, the momentum is very good. It's not even half past seven, and it's already full of people. The fat investor said with satisfaction, "It seems that this film will write a heavy stroke in Chinese film history like a hero!" ”

Zhang Yimou's face did not change, but his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

Heroes can really be described as heroes and heroes.

The global box office is hundreds of millions, which can be described as a big profit, but what does this have to do with the new picture?

The overseas copyright was finally sold to Miramax for more than 20 million, James smiled crookedly, and the new picture hated his face.

They only drank a little bit of leftovers.

And what contributed to all this is the fact that there are no thieves in the world released in the same period last year!

An investment of 20 million has earned more than 100 million! At the same time, China's first phenomenal film was released and received rave reviews.

Compared with the hero, he really won the box office and lost the word of mouth.

But what does he want money for? His money was enough to squander for several lifetimes.

What he wants is word of mouth, fame!

Won where you least needed it, but lost where you wanted it most!

How not to make him feel aggrieved? How not to make him hold a grudge? How not to make him want to take revenge this year with this arrow?

The investor's words can be said to have exposed his scars.

"It's going to be a big deal. Moreover, it is definitely more than last year's world without thieves! Zhang Weiping also felt uncomfortable, but just said lightly.
