Chapter 328
Several films were gathered in the Chinese New Year file, which successfully aroused the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies.
As the first Chinese New Year movie to be released, "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" won 36 million box office on the first day of its official release, and the box office results in the next two days were 33 million and 32 million respectively.
Break 100 million in three days!
This achievement is much stronger than the 600 million production "Red Cliff".
The entertainment media is also boiling.
"Titanic" was not so sharp when it was released in China, could it be this comedy that broke the record of "Titanic"?
Poor Wu Yusen and "Red Cliff" were taken out and whipped again, in comparison, the production cost of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" may be one-tenth of "Red Cliff", but the box office in the first three days directly beat "Red Cliff", and there is no problem to see that the total box office of this momentum exceeds "Red Cliff".
After watching the film, most of the audience of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" praised Feng Xiaogang's masterpiece on the spot.
In the past, Feng Xiaogang's movies had too strong Beijing flavor, often hot in the north and cold in the south, but this "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" has received a lot of praise regardless of the north and south, which is really not easy.
Hua Yi raised his eyebrows, and immediately held a grand celebration party for Feng Xiaogang after breaking 100 million in three days.
Of course, the celebration party went to a lot of media, which was both a celebration and a bright sword.
"Director Feng, congratulations on "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" broke 100 million in three days, how much do you expect from the box office?"
Feng Xiaogang laughed: "Thank you." Of course, the more the merrier. ”
"Do you think you might win the Lunar New Year?"
Feng Xiaogang: "No one can say for sure, but it's almost the New Year, and the audience may be willing to watch comedies to relax, and I'm quite confident in the box office." ”
This tone is more than just confidence.
Another reporter asked: "Director Feng's comedy has always been at a high level, but has Director Feng ever thought about making some movies with other themes?" Like science fiction and the like. ”
Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled indifferently: "Your question is also quite sci-fi." ”
This answer surprised most people, and after the media people were surprised, it was ecstasy, and it became topical.
Sure enough, some media reported that night that Feng Xiaogang couldn't watch science fiction movies, and pointed directly to "The Sadder".
Feng Xiaogang may have said this on purpose, for the sake of hype.
Jiang Meiying came forward to accuse Feng Xiaogang of being narrow-minded, and at the same time boasted that the bright era dared to be the first in the world and invested heavily in filming science fiction films.
Feng Xiaogang naturally wouldn't carry this pot, and issued another article to defend himself.
You have been coming and going for a few days, and the popularity of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "The Heartbreaker" has remained high, and everyone is happy behind the scenes.
Bright Cinema officially launched the online ticket purchase business and ticket supplement activities, Meow Eye Movie united Alipay and one-third of the cinema chain, open online ticket purchase, as long as it is the audience who buys tickets online, Meow Eye Movie will be given a subsidy of 20 yuan, if it is paid through Alipay, there is an additional 5 yuan subsidy.
For this activity alone, the Bright Cinema Line is expected to fill tens of millions of funds.
Not only that, but Bright Times also issued coupons in "Science Fiction World".
On December 26, the latest issue of "Science Fiction World" began to be sold across the country.
Early in the morning, Wang Xiaomin appeared on the newsstand and took out ten yuan: "Come to the latest "Science Fiction World"!" ”
"Haole, give you the book, this is the five pieces that are looking for you!" The aunt who sold the newspaper handed a newspaper to Wang Xiaomin, and at the same time handed him the money she was looking for.
Wang Xiaomin put the change in his pocket, and then began to browse the cover of "Science Fiction World". It's just that when he read the text on the cover, he was suddenly stunned, and the cover read, "We invite you to watch "The Sadder"! ”
What does this mean?
There was no time, Wang Xiaomin stuffed the book into his schoolbag and hurried to the school.
When I arrived at school, the first thing I had to show was to my tablemates.
Chen Jiao took the book with a smile, and was also attracted by the words on the cover.
"We asked you to watch 'The Heartbreaker'? What do you mean? ”
"I don't know, open it and take a look."
Chen Jiao tore off the film, took out the book, opened "Science Fiction World", and read the introduction inside to know that the crew of "Science Fiction World" and "Sadder" held an activity to give coupons, as long as you take the coupon to the cinema to watch a movie, you can get a half-price discount.
As a fan of "Science Fiction World", both of them said that they were going to see "Heartbreaker" when it was released, and now they have coupons to save half of the money, Wang Xiaomin began to think about how to spend the money saved.
"Ah, I can save half of the money, I should buy another copy." Chen Jiao said regretfully.
Wang Xiaomin woke up like a dream: "Yes, yes, I'll buy another copy at noon." ”
The news that "Science Fiction World" gave "Heartbreaker" coupons quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Huaxia movie tickets are very expensive, one costs thirty or forty yuan, and now as long as you get a coupon, you can get half price.
Fans who got the news, as well as fans, went to the newsstand to buy "Science Fiction World".
On the same day, many newsstands sold out of "Science Fiction World", and the total sales volume across the country exceeded 100,000 copies in three days.
This made the editor-in-chief of "Science Fiction World" Ah Lai smile from ear to ear, and hurriedly ordered 50,000 copies to be printed.
A week after the release of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", the box office was 190 million, and the follow-up was a bit weak, and "The Sadder" was released soon, Feng Xiaogang and Hua Yi began to be anxious.
After the box office was released in the first week, a reporter asked Feng Xiaogang what he thought of "Heartbreaker".
Facing reporters, Feng Xiaogang is still full of confidence: "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" and "Sadness" are not the same genre. One is a comedy and the other is a tragedy, and I believe that there are more audiences watching comedy than watching tragedy during the Chinese New Year. Our goal is not to be the champion of the Chinese New Year stall, but the box office champion this year! ”
This time, even this year's box office champion was said, and Feng Xiaogang's cannon remarks really aroused the interest of reporters and reported it one after another.
Gu Cancan didn't take this to heart at all.
This year's Chinese New Year blockbusters are gathered, although the box office of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" has set a record in the first week, the intensive publicity in front has aroused the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie, and the films released next will not be bad.
However, Su Luo, Jiang Meiying and others have already begun to feel anxious.
The film schedule of "Heartbreaker" is not high, and it was only 28% on the day of the premiere, which is not as good as "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".
The theater chain that did not agree to cooperate with the bright cinema meow eye film did not have a high schedule for "The Heartbreaker".
The main thing is also the distrust of domestic science fiction movies.
In this regard, Gu Cancan is not worried, the theater chain is profit-seeking, as long as the work can arouse the audience's popularity, they will not hesitate to adjust the film schedule.
On December 29, the premiere of "Heartbreaker" was held at the flagship store of Bright Cinemas.
The Bright Cinema flagship store in Wukesong has become a place for the release of new works in the Bright Times, and not only that, but the decoration here is luxurious and the location is superior, and many movies have chosen to release their premieres in the Bright Cinema flagship store.
There were snowflakes in the sky that day, but they couldn't stop the enthusiasm of fans and reporters.
Guardrails are set up on both sides of the sidewalk, and on the other side of the theater is a photo area for media reporters, where media people from all sides are already waiting with cameras; On the other side, enthusiastic fans hold various signs, waiting for the appearance of their idols.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, both sides of the red carpet gradually became lively.
As the stars appeared on the stage, the screams of fans rang out incessantly, and the flash of the camera exploded.
"I don't know if Gu Cancan will fight back against Feng Xiaogang, if there is a quarrel, this matter will be interesting. Do you say that there is a drama in the Chinese New Year file of "Heartbreaker"? A reporter sighed at his hands and excitedly asked his colleague next to him.
"I think it's hanging, "If It's True, Don't Disturb" and "Crazy Stone" are too strong. I've seen "Heartbreaker", it's okay as science fiction, but it's too thin to adapt it into a movie. and the lack of conflict, it is difficult to shoot well. ”
"I don't think so, "Buried Alive" is a very simple story, but Gu Cancan made the story very good. "Heartbreaker" is checked by Gu Cancan, and the story is definitely fine. Ah! Here it comes! ”
The reporters were chatting energetically, only to see a black Mercedes-Benz car stop at the entrance of the red carpet, the door opened, and two beautiful girls came out of the car, it was Gu Cancan and Wang Xiaoxiao.
When the media saw Gu Cancan, they immediately took pictures like a shark with a bloody taste; And Gu Cancan's fans at the scene held up various signs supporting Gu Cancan and shouted her name loudly.
Gu Cancan looked extremely beautiful in a red dress, smiling and waving at the supporters, causing fans to respond with louder screams.
Wang Xiaoxiao is a white gift, and the two of them are one red and one hundred, which complements each other.
"Who is the girl next to Gu Cancan?"
"I don't know, it's not like it's in the entertainment industry."
This time, Gu Cancan did it intentionally and appeared with Wang Xiaoxiao.
Chen Kun also came to the premiere scene to cheer Gu Cancan.
He smiled at the reporter and congratulated: "Cancan and I are good friends, and I hope that "Heartbreaker" will be a box office hit!" “
Han Sanhua appeared on the red carpet, and his arrival completely ignited the excitement of the scene, and many media reporters couldn't believe their eyes.
In fact, "The Heartbreaker" also has the investment of China Film, and part of the distribution is also organized by China Film, and the appearance of Han Sanbei cannot be said to be abrupt, but considering the box office battle between "On the Red Cliff" and "Sword Rain" in the first two months, as well as the sniping of "The Heartbreaker" in the next "Under the Red Cliff", Han Sanbottle's appearance on the scene at this time is a bit interesting.
The premiere also began soon.
Gu Cancan, Chen Zhiming, Wang Qianyuan, Liu Lili, Wang Zhi and other main actors are standing on the stage, as the actors and main creators in the play, there will be some activities, interacting with the audience, answering questions from the media, etc.
Because the movie is about to be released, and the media reporters have red envelopes to take, the reporters' questions are relatively gentle, and they don't have the idea of making big news.
After the half-hour interactive session, the movie was officially played.
The screen went dark for a short time, then quickly lit up.
What appears in the picture is the capital of 2109, the future city is full of high-rise buildings, the top cannot be seen at the height, the ground cannot be seen from the low, and there are constantly maglev cars flying in the air.
A sign hanging in the air outside the building advertised a new game in the future, causing a burst of laughter.
This scene appeared in the trailer, but the audience didn't expect this to be the beginning of the movie either.
Sitting next to Han Sanbei was Su Luo, CEO of the Bright Times, and he whispered to Su Luo: "The production of this future city is very exquisite, and even the details have been taken into account. ”
"Yes, it is jointly produced by the domestic special effects team and foreign countries, and it is the world's most advanced special effects level, so Cancan smashed 9 million into it."
Han Sanhua nodded, stopped talking, and had something in his eyes.
A car drove from the air, the camera zoomed in, and it was Chen Zhiming who was driving.
The camera switches to a close-up, everything in the car is filled with a futuristic vision, a 360-degree panorama of the surroundings is shown on the large car display, and a map of the neighborhood is displayed on the right side of the windshield.
At this time, there was a mechanical manual only a female voice prompting: "Mr. He, your wife's phone." ”
Chen Zhiming's eyes looked ahead, smiled slightly, and gave instructions to the artificial intelligence: "Turn on!" ”
There was a "beep", and then a woman's voice sounded: "Lao He, my mother is coming over today, and I will pick her up at the station after work." You'll pick up the kids later, don't forget! ”
Chen Zhiming smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go to school in a while!" ”
Almost all the media and audiences present have watched "Heartbreaker", and they are a little stunned when they see this opening.
There's no such thing as this, it's completely different from the plot in the book.
As soon as it comes up, it is in the future, how does the protagonist He Xi appear?
After saying that, Chen Zhiming asked again, "What time is it?" ”
"3:42:37 p.m." Artificial intelligence answers at a glance.
At the same time, the time indicator appeared on the windshield, and after a second it became 15:42:38.
This detail is also quite interesting, and people with low laughs laugh softly.
"Go to Jihua Elementary School." Chen Zhiming gave the order.
Without his intervention, the hovering car automatically turned and drove into a transparent lane.
The camera turned again, and the maglev car landed from the sky and stopped steadily at the door of Jihua Primary School!
Chen Zhiming got out of the car and walked into the school.
On campus, an old library building is about to be demolished, and the bookshelves inside have been moved to the playground.
Before the students finished school, Chen Zhiming walked around the school and walked to the bookshelf.
He looked at the watch on his wrist, then slowly walked from shelf to shelf to see if there were any books to look through.
When he walked to the corner of a bookshelf, he suddenly saw a set of books in a sealed bag.
"Micro-continuous original?" Chen Zhiming had a puzzled expression on his face.
"He Xi? It sounds like it's about math, and I've never heard of the name. Chen Zhiming muttered softly, a glint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and it was clear that the book had piqued his interest.
He opened the sealed bag and flipped to the title page.
There is an author's introduction on the edge, with the author's information on it, and an inch photo.
The man on the inch photo is not good-looking, and even a little fierce, the profile reads: He Xi, male, born in 1975, Han nationality. Graduated from the Department of Mathematics, Sichuan University......
"I haven't heard of the name He Xi."
Chen Zhiming turned the book to the back cover at the end, and through the lens, he could clearly see the publication date of the book: the first edition in May 2003.
"Oh? It's still an ancient book from a hundred years ago. Chen Zhiming opened the book with great interest.
