Chapter 468: Box Office (Third Update)

"I want to see Huaxing's detailed script filing ......"

"I'm afraid not, these are internal information, without Director Zhou's permission, others can't read it, Director Cao, you know the rules."

"Can you take a rough look?"

"No, either."

After the premiere of "Sniper Phone Booth", An Xiao was reading the comments.

At first, she was inevitably apprehensive.

After all, the film was shot in too short a time, the editing time was too short, and it was a "privilege" through train, although she personally reviewed the original film, this movie is indeed quite attractive, but she is still not sure how the market accepts this movie.

However, when more than 70% of the people on Douban were praised, and several movie critics gave high scores, An Xiao had a bottom in his heart.

Even if this movie doesn't explode at the box office, it won't be scolded in the eleventh gear, and it's generally above the excellent line......

An Xiao looked up at Cao Bangguo who walked in, and after learning of Cao Bangguo's intention, An Xiao was not surprised, but behaved calmly like never before.

The former Chinese Directors Association was in a dark age that covered the sky with one hand, and it was rotten!

This is the status quo that An Xiao saw, and later Zhou Yang entered this circle and turned this circle upside down, which naturally damaged the interests of these directors.

They wrapped up and wanted to trample Zhou Yang under their feet together, and even tried to make her compromise in various ways......

Now I can't hold it down, and I am frightened by Zhou Yang's amazing screenwriting ability, and I start to feel uneasy, and I want to read the script before deciding what to do next......

How can there be such a good thing in this world?

"An Deputy Ke, the internal struggle in the Chinese film industry will only make people outside see jokes, there are too many Hollywood movies in the second half of the year, intellectually, I personally think that Chinese directors should join forces...... In fact, I have persuaded President Feng that I am willing to be this mediator if I can......" After Cao Bangguo heard An Xiao's refusal, his face was a little unbearable, but he still had a smile on his face, and began to say some gentle words to An Xiao.

"We should indeed unite ......" An Xiao nodded, agreeing with Cao Bangguo's words, but did not make any other response.

Cao Bangguo observed An Xiao's expression, and when he saw that An Xiao's face had not changed at all, and even he couldn't see through what An Xiao was thinking, he finally shook his head: "President Feng did a very irrational job before, but I hope you can understand us, after all, we have experienced so many years in this circle, witnessed the rise and fall of the Xiangjiang era, and also contributed a lot of our own strength to this era, when I saw my rights being deprived, my heart was naturally uncomfortable......"

"But alas, the bet was lost." An Xiao shook her head.

"The matter of the bet is negotiable, and this is only a verbal bet, and there is no substantive ......"

"Director Zhou has gone from a movie without any support to the present, and has put in so much effort, how much suffering has he suffered and how many grievances he has suffered for this...... What if he loses today, and you win? An Xiao's calm voice suddenly carried a hint of excitement, but then after realizing that he seemed to have some personal emotions, he continued to regain his calm appearance: "If he loses, I'm afraid he can only be willing to gamble and lose." ”

"Individually and collectively, nature is ......"

"What if the achievements made by the individual can catch up with the so-called "collective"? ”

"Deputy Ke An, I hope you don't look at Director Zhou with colored glasses, and I also hope you can consider us people......"

"I've always been looking at the whole thing from the perspective of a spectator."

“……”

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn.

Cao Bangguo actually felt a sense of coldness and murder.

He frowned, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

He never dreamed that they would be stuck with a small sub-department.

But this deputy department got serious, so they couldn't do anything.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed: "We need a step down, we can have a good chat, Zhou Yang's movies, even if the script is excellent, may not really be a hit, right?" I look at the book, and I can also give a little opinion, in fact, An Deputy Ke, you know, I don't have any substantive contradictions with Zhou Yang, the real contradictions with him are Chen Kai and others, I have always admired him, and I have wanted to talk to him about movies several times, but he never gave me a chance to talk about movies......"

"I don't know what a step is, I just know how to do what I have to do, as far as ...... Director Cao, the script, I really can't show you...... If it's about talking about the script, then Director Cao, please go back first......"

"Then I'll talk to Xu......"

"Hmm."

After seeing An Xiao's indifferent expression, Cao Bangguo began to have a trace of coldness on his face.

He has been in the industry for so many years, even Xu Kangnian is polite to him, and now he has encountered the iron nail of An Xiao, which makes him both angry and helpless.

Finally he got up and turned and left the office without looking back.

After An Xiao watched Cao Bangguo leave, he didn't say anything, just lowered his head and continued to look at the comments of "Sniper Phone Booth".

After chatting just now, "Sniper Phone Booth" has hundreds of more movie reviews, and at the same time, the popularity of this "Sniper Phone Booth" continues to rise, and the average score has increased from 8.8 to 8.9.

Just after watching it for a moment, his phone rang.

The call was made by Xu Kangnian.

After answering the phone, she walked out of the office door and found that there were several more people in the office.

…………………………

Afternoon.

After Zhou Yilin chatted with Django for a while about the filming of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", he leisurely drank tea in his office.

From time to time, the assistant told him something about Sniper Phone Booth.

The number of films in "Sniper Phone Booth" is actually not much, but the attendance rate after the premiere is very amazing, almost every show, the average attendance rate is more than 78%.

That's actually quite a staggering statistic, especially for a small-budget film that was only shot for three days......

"Director Cao hit a nail in the relevant department? An Xiao doesn't give an inch, and the movie script is not read? ”

"Normal ......"

The assistant also talked to him about some things about the Chinese film industry.

After the release of "Sniper Phone Booth", many directors naturally became anxious when they saw that the actual word-of-mouth did not collapse, but was very likely to become an excellent high-scoring work.

They were supposed to watch jokes, and as a result, they found themselves turned into jokes.

The most anxious is the director Zhao Fang, who has already begun to make trouble in the director circle.

National Day file, originally the location of "Sniper Phone Booth" was his movie "Our Country", which was once very well conceived, when "Sniper Phone Booth" made a joke and the reputation collapsed, the theater party would naturally go to the relevant departments to talk about the film schedule and put pressure on the relevant departments, and these directors would also boycott "Sniper Phone Booth" in major media together, and finally let "Our Country" go up to fight the fire.

But in fact, it did not go as they expected.

Instead......

"According to the latest budget, "Sniper Phone Booth", which was one of the few films scheduled, has now received an astonishing box office of 9 million...... Colleagues in the data department think that the box office of this movie can exceed 2,000 nights, and the specific amount depends on the final results, although it is a National Day file, but it is the box office data obtained under the strangulation of movies such as "Men in Black" and "Jaws......"

The assistant continued to chat with Zhou Yilin about the data of "Sniper Phone Booth".

"It seems that "Our Country" is going to replace "Sniper Phone Booth", and it is difficult to release it as a firefighter, this time, it really smashed ......" When Zhou Yilin heard the data reported by the assistant, he nodded subconsciously, and then looked out the window.

Judging from the scores and current attendance rate of "Sniper Phone Booth" in all aspects, it is definitely above the excellent line, and the movies above the passing line will not be taken down by the theater at will, let alone movies with excellent lines.

It is really difficult for "Our Country" to be released by stepping on "Sniper Phone Booth".

Moreover, even No. 2 is not good, No. 2 is "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" The movie was scheduled for release, and the movie originally planned to be released on No. 2 was "Sword God" directed by Shen Jinsong Shen, if the movie "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years" is still above the passing line, I'm afraid that "Sword God" will not be released in order......

As for No. 3, No. 3 arranged a Hollywood superhero movie "Lizard Man", the competition in the eleventh gear is too fierce, although the relevant departments said that the domestic film protection month was canceled, but there is a vague idea of letting "Lizard Man" and "Jaws" compete for the box office and fight each other for internal friction, and other domestic films will make money at the box office safely.

It can be seen from the scheduled schedule of "Lizard Man" that it is basically a choice with "Jaws......

"Shen Jinsong also went to the relevant departments?"

"I went, but it seems that only Cao Bangguo is looking for An Xiao...... But it didn't seem to be going well, and Xu Kangnian didn't have any way to take An Xiao, this time An Xiao seemed to be determined to protect Zhou Yang. ”

"Two people, it's weird if you don't maintain it, it's okay, let them make trouble, let's just see the excitement......"

"By the way, Director Zhou, don't you help them? You guys seem to be in one camp, right? ”

"No hurry, what's the rush now...... Wait until they come up to us, we can't be too proactive in such an errand as a peacemaker......" Zhou Yilin shook his head with a smile after hearing the assistant's puzzled expression.

In the same camp?

He didn't even know which camp he was in now.

The next time was quite pleasant for Zhou Yilin, reading reviews, watching movies, and instructing the silly boy Django on the phone from time to time.

In the early morning of October 2, when Zhou Yilin was lying in bed and ready to sleep, he suddenly received a phone call.

"Director Zhou, it's this time, do you still have time to sleep?"

"What's wrong?"

"The opening of "Sniper Cinema" grossed 25 million...... This does not bode well. ”

"So tall?"

"Director Zhou, you used to have a lot of contact with An Xiao, although I heard that there was a bit of a conflict later, but ...... Director Zhou, hurry up and have an emergency meeting, we have a stiff quarrel with An Xiao......"

"Ah, it's so late......"

"The water is rushing to your heels, what are you thinking...... Do you really plan to let Zhou Yang eat away all of our share? He's not afraid to die by himself! ”

“……”

The call was from Shen Jinsong......

On the other end of the phone, Shen Jinsong's tone seemed to be a little cold, vaguely revealing a trace of anxiety.

Zhou Yilin on the phone scolded Zhou Yang is not a thing, but his face smiled even brighter, like a flower: "If my old face can be used, why don't I try to communicate?" ”
