Chapter 289: Serious People Who Write Letters
"Boss, it's still not enough!"
Boss Yu of Dadi Cinema Line was enjoying the afternoon on the recliner when an employee in a straight suit slammed open the door and shouted.
"55% is not enough?"
"There are still a lot of people clamoring to see the richest man in Xihong City, Yanjing, Yangzhou, Shanghai, and the filming rate of several major provinces is not high."
Boss Yu was also puzzled: "Haven't they seen enough piracy?" ”
"There are now two parties on the Internet, and I have to fight for whether this film is funny or not, and I am afraid that the movie-watching craze will remain high before this wind is extinguished."
Boss Yu touched his beard and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Up to 70%."
"Huh? Boss, that's too high, isn't it? Chibi hasn't been released yet? If only the shooting rate for them was so low..."
"What? He Wu Pigeon still pays you a salary, doesn't he? Give me a boost! ”
"Good!"
......
became popular twice, and for a whole month, the headlines in entertainment newspapers were monopolized by the richest man in Xihong City.
From the cast to the director's information, to the cameo role, every detail has become a hot news sought after by everyone.
The post on the Internet, since the day it was born, has built more than 5,000 buildings.
Watching a movie is a group behavior, and generally a poster will always pull one or even several people into the cinema.
As more people enter the cinema, the deliberately created camp antagonism has gradually transformed into a show-off post for the funny party.
"It's not funny at all, I've just watched it ten times. [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]..."
It was followed by more than thirty ticket stubs.
"I don't know if those people who have smiling nerves on the soles of their feet have taken off their socks and watched movies with corns, anyway, I can't help laughing. [Picture] [Picture]"
"The box office of this movie is 500 million, can those sunspots lower their arrogant heads and stop being different?"
"Reply upstairs, those people with high laughter are high-end people who drink yogurt and don't lick the lid, we laymen don't need to argue with them."
...
There were beautiful words on the Internet, and Ji Yun was happy and a little disappointed at the same time.
Arguments naturally come and go, and when one side has already declared victory, such a battle has no meaning.
Because of this, the vitality of this film in theaters has also come to an end.
"Yo, these people are quite angry, huh?"
Wen Dong leaned over to Ji Yun's computer, looked at the posts on the Internet, and let out an exclamation.
"You instigated it." Ji Yun rolled his eyes.
If you laugh, you don't laugh, you don't laugh, you don't laugh, originally laughing at this thing is high and low, and if others don't laugh, they have to be charged.
"Did you come up with this idea, and now you are starting to be a moral saint? There are fewer and fewer people like you who pick up a bowl to eat and put down the bowl and scold your mother. ”
"It's the studio owner who made the idea, what does it have to do with me Ji Yun."
At that time, he was a businessman, and now he is a simple struggler!
"Jingle Bell~"
Ji Yun pressed his hand against Wendong and picked up the phone casually.
"Hello? Erdao? ”
"Oh, I see."
"It's okay, listen to you, I don't have an opinion."
"I hope that our film can sell well in Xiangjiang and achieve more good results abroad."
"Okay, good, I'll definitely be there when the publicity comes."
put down the phone and met Wen Dong's puzzled gaze.
"The Shinjuku incident can't be released in the mainland."
"What then?"
Wen Dong also counted on the release of three movies one after another, including Gang's Qin, The Richest Man in Xihong City, and the Shinjuku Incident, which made Ji Yun's face brush for a year, but he didn't expect the Shinjuku Incident to even fight for the mainland market.
"There are too many bloody and violent scenes, and Director Er said that it was not easy to delete them, so he just gave up."
"Does he know that we're now..."
Ji Yun pressed the conversation, "He knows, he celebrated with me on the phone just now." But after cutting the violent and bloody scenes of his film, there really wasn't anything left. ”
Director Er Dongsheng attaches more importance to word-of-mouth.
Adhering to the requirement of preferring shortage to excess, it is better to give up the market than to be talked about.
Er Dongsheng's book has been polished for ten years, which can be regarded as a knot.
It was about 98 years ago, he saw a report in "Asia Weekly", and he had a first draft of this story in his heart, and he really put his heart and soul into this film.
He knows Ji Yun's current influence, and if he is cut and sent to the mainland for release, it is certain that he will make money, but he is ashamed.
not only consumed Ji Yun's reputation, but also felt sorry for his works.
In fact, there are many good films that cut themselves in pieces in order to avoid censorship.
For example, a big guy has great wisdom, and cutting out a paragraph will make the whole movie lose a lot of depth.
One of the main reasons why the reputation of this film is not very good is that many people watch the mainland version.
You know, this film was slashed more than 20 times when it was released in the mainland...
"Okay."
Wen Dong sighed, without the Shinjuku incident, Ji Yun would still be able to give the audience a breather, so that they would not have aesthetic fatigue, and Ji Yun's reputation would not decline due to the quality of the film.
It's a pity, but the regret is diluted in an instant by the results we have achieved so far.
"Today's box office is out."
Wen Dong raised his hand and motioned for Ji Yun to guess.
"Don't sell it, hurry up and report the number."
"637 million!"
"Oh."
Wen Dong stepped forward and pinched Ji Yun's shoulder, "I'll say it again, you may not have heard clearly." 637 million! Not 60,000, not 60 million! It's 100 million, and the back is eight zeros! ”
Without waiting for Ji Yun to react, Wen Dong continued to say like a cannon: "The box office of Steel's piano is 336 million, breaking the mainland box office record, but this has to be premised on the premise that the mainland domestic film box office champion, the mainland box office record has always been held by the Titanic's 360 million. ”
Wen Dong's hand shook, driving Ji Yun's body to shake as well, "This richest man in Xihong City has broken the total domestic box office record, and it is a crushing situation, do you understand?" The box office is about to catch up with the two Titanics! ”
"I understand."
"Did you make a movie about the richest man in Xihong City and enter the play? Or 600 million you can't even see it? Do you know that there is a term in the domestic director circle called the 100 million yuan club? Zhang Meng is about to break one billion! ”
"Good." Ji Yun took a deep breath. "Very good."
"That's right."
Seeing the smile on Ji Yun's face, Wen Dong relaxed.
He also thought that Ji Yun was mentally deranged by this news.
Ji Yun looked at the news that had been delayed on the Internet, and the joy on his face gradually bloomed.
The box office of 600 million may only be the results of the first three days after the release of the movie in later generations, but from the current perspective, this can be regarded as a miracle.
As for next year's Avatar?
It was a miracle, a dimensionality reduction blow.
"By the way, there is a letter to you, which was sent to you by someone with a small steel cannon."
As he spoke, Wen Dong handed a letter to Ji Yun's desktop.
"How old are you still writing letters?" Ji Yun muttered and opened the envelope, "Who writes a letter to a serious person?" ”
