Chapter 250: Officially Announcing the Relationship to the Outside World
........
The Imperial Capital CPPCC Auditorium.
A high-end and high-grade place in the hearts of the Chinese people.
When there are no major political events, it is open to the public, and there are occasional plays, musical performances, and the occasional movie premiere.
After the screening began on the 20th, the popularity of "Looking for the Dragon" continued to rise, and the five-day screening, coupled with the hard publicity of Hengyu Group, has completely become the hottest movie at the moment.
Such a high popularity also made today's premiere ceremony a feast in the entertainment industry, attracting a large number of fans, fans, and media to come to the scene in advance.
"Ma Dan, it's finally premiered, the old paper was busy working overtime like a second grandson a few days ago, and he didn't even have time to watch the screening."
"I watched the screening once, and it was a pleasure!"
"Haha, I watched the screening twice with my girlfriend, I didn't want to come today, I can't stand my girlfriend's liking Fang Ziheng, she missed the fan meeting, I can only accompany her to come.."
A buddy said with a helpless tone, and as soon as he finished speaking, his girlfriend next to him revealed his true colors.
"Fart, you don't want to see Liu Qianqian yet, you men are all big pigs' trotters, and you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman."
Hearing this, the male compatriots around him all showed smiles that understood everything.
Among the fans and fans who are here today, there are a few boys who don't like Liu Qianqian's prosperous beauty.
Some of Fang Ziheng's extreme die-hard fans have to mumble about the lack of acting skills every time the movie starts filming and determines the role, which drags the movie back.
When the movie was released, as soon as these guys saw the promotional poster of the young lady, they were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they ran to people's Weibo to blow wildly, shouting at the throat of the young lady and his wife.
"It's almost four o'clock, why haven't you seen the guests enter yet?"
"It should be soon, I just saw that a convoy has arrived."
"Speaking of which, Fang Ziheng is quite interesting, the premiere of "Looking for the Dragon" in the auditorium, the tickets are only sold in two grades, 88 and 188, which is much brighter than Chen Daren."
"That's right, I just bought it because the ticket price is not expensive, you don't know, ten years ago, my dad took me to watch "Wuji", and a VIP seat in the first five rows sold for 1888 yuan, which is ridiculously expensive!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the neighborhood laughed.
Especially some people who are old and have experienced the film market in the past few years, have recalled the grand occasion of the premiere of "Wu Ji".
"Wu Ji" premiered at that time, not only the ticket price was sky-high, but even the pomp and circumstance were the most in the history of Chinese films.
On the red carpet of more than 200 meters, hundreds of dragon and tiger warriors with a height of horses were mobilized, wearing armor and red robes, holding spears and spears, and their momentum was like a rainbow, just like the commanders and battalion commanders of the ancient army.
In addition, on both sides of the red carpet of "Wuji" there is also a forest of begonia flowers made of juansi, and the flower forest is hung with ink-white lanterns, which cost the producer 200,000 soft girl coins.
In terms of the whole pomp, ten Fang Ziheng can't beat Chen Daren!
........
As the time progressed, night began to fall.
There are two passages at the entrance of the auditorium, one for the guests, one for the audience and the media.
Under the guidance of the staff, except for some media reporters who wanted to see the guests and waited for the interview, the rest of the thousands of people entered the auditorium in an orderly manner.
At this time, Fang Ziheng and the other main creators were still blocking the street.
In the imperial capital in the evening, as soon as you get close to the Third Ring Road, there are really as many blocks.
Fang Ziheng's medium-sized nanny car.
Liu Ye glanced at the car dragon crawling like a snail outside, and said with a worried expression: "We're going to be late." ”
"It's not a big problem, there is still half a mile of road, and it will be blocked for half an hour at most." Huang Bo brushed the hairspray on his head, and said indifferently.
The two have been in the imperial capital for many years, and they are clear about the road conditions in the imperial capital.
Fang Ziheng opened a car window, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely: "It's okay to block it, so that it shows that we are big coffee, aren't all big coffee late!" ”
"Where did you hear that the big guys are often late?"
Next to her, Liu Qianqian stopped the game on her mobile phone and raised her head to flatter him.
She didn't believe that Fang Ziheng had met a big guy who was late, with his status as a director, who would dare to be late in front of him.
"I don't know!"
Fang Ziheng took a puff of cigarette, grabbed her mobile phone and clicked on the screen, and said in popular science: "When Director Chen's "Wuji" premiered, he and the main creator of the movie were more than an hour late, and the legs of the media reporters waiting for the interview outside the auditorium were sore. ”
Coincidentally, he thought the same as the fans outside the auditorium at this time, and they all remembered the blockbuster "Wuji" that no one understood for ten years.
Six o'clock in the evening.
After being stuck in traffic for half an hour, the nanny car finally came to the auditorium.
The car drove directly into the square and parked in the pre-reserved parking space under the guidance of the security guard.
"Fang Ziheng, Fang Ziheng!"
"Liu Qianqian, I love you!"
"Liu Ye, Liu Ye!"
Before everyone got out of the car, they heard bursts of enthusiastic cheers outside the car, and on both sides of the red carpet, countless fans and fans waved glow sticks and shouted at the nanny car.
Drip..
The automatic door opens.
Fang Ziheng led Liu Qianqian down and stepped on the bright red carpet with a confident smile.
Kacha...
Kacha...
Media reporters flocked to the camera, pressing the sound of the camera.
Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Jialing, Jiang Shuying, and Fu Zhaolong followed and got out of the car.
A group of eight people walked down the red carpet in three echelons and walked towards the guest passage in the auditorium.
On both sides of the red carpet, cheers and screams came and went, and countless waiting fans waved at their favorite stars.
are mostly fans of Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian, as well as CP fans of the two, holding a photo of the two in the movie and excited.
The reporters shrank back, retreating with the pace of the crowd, and at the same time pressed the camera in their hands without money, emitting blazing white flashes.
Liu Qianqian was a little dazzled, and subconsciously leaned her head sideways into Fang Ziheng's arms.
Fang Ziheng took advantage of the situation to take the young lady, raised his hand to help her block the flashes in front of her, and led her forward.
This scene can make fans excited.
Especially the CP fans of the two, that made one happy, waving a glow stick and coaxing loudly.
"Wooh.."
"Together, together!"
"Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven!"
Of course, there are also fans of the young lady who are dissatisfied, angry, and scolded Fang Ziheng in their hearts for taking advantage of the opportunity.
However, they were angry, and they only dared to scold in their hearts or run to Fang Ziheng's Weibo.
If you really dare to speak up in person, you don't need cp fans to do it, just the hardcore fans present can tear them apart.
Fang Ziheng glanced at some indignant boys, let go slightly, and didn't hug the young lady too tightly.
When those boys saw this, they gave you a look of acquaintance.
However, before they could relax, the young lady came up with her other hand, holding Fang Ziheng with both hands, and the whole person snuggled up to him.
Crit!
The young lady's actions killed these Yan Fan with a knife in an instant, and they were as miserable as they were.
Many boys showed their masks of pain, staring at Liu Qianqian with a smile on her face.
Their goddess, attached to someone else's arms, smiled very happily and sweetly.
On the red carpet of more than 100 meters, everyone walked for two minutes.
As soon as they got off the red carpet, the reporters in front of them surrounded everyone, as if they had discussed it, holding long guns and short cannons and slamming them in people's faces.
This time, the reporters didn't ask any sharp questions, "Looking for the Dragon" was screened in advance, and the creators held a number of fan meetings, and they had asked all the questions they should ask before.
The box office of the old movie, the box office on the first day, and the relationship between Fang Ziheng and Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Xia Yu, Liu Jialing's expectations for the movie, Fang Ziheng's opinions, etc.
"Hello Director Fang, "Looking for the Dragon" has invested 300 million, it is your first 3D real-life fantasy blockbuster, and today is also the first time that your film premiered in the CPPCC auditorium, in addition to the box office, what are the expectations of Director Fang for the movie?"
Fang Ziheng looked at it, took the microphone handed by the Sina Entertainment reporter, and said with a full heart: "Since it is a fantasy blockbuster, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the box office, I won't say much about the total box office, let's talk about the box office on the first day."
My expectation for the first day of "Dragon Quest" is to break "Transformers 3" and regain the box office record of the first day of Chinese films! ”
"Director Fang, the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" is as high as 50 million, and as long as the box office exceeds 70 million on the first day, it will surpass "Transformers 3".
The reporter of Sina Entertainment shook his wit and superimposed the screening and the box office on the first day.
The other reporters laughed and looked at Fang Ziheng, wanting to hear his true words.
Fang Ziheng flicked the microphone with his fingers, raised a finger, and said loudly: "Breaking the record, the box office on the first day can't be added to the results of the screening."
One hundred million!
"Looking for the Dragon" box office on the first day of the mainland market is 100 million soft girl coins, the expectation in my heart! ”
He is not afraid of the media saying that he is crazy, "Transformers 3" is also a special effects blockbuster, and the summer file can hit the first-day box office of 100 million, and "Looking for the Dragon" can naturally take this as a goal.
Whether it can be achieved is one thing, and whether you dare to say it is another.
With his current fame, if he doesn't say a few crazy words, it will make the media think that he admits it, and he is afraid of the blockbuster!
Half a year apart, when "Transformers 3" was released, the average number of films in the national theater market exceeded 55%.
The first three days of "Looking for the Dragon" averaged 50% of the films, and 25% of the remaining half was given to "The Year of Dreams", which was still reaping the box office.
"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" still has nearly 10% of the film schedule, and the rest of the films are divided into the last 15%.
The most humiliating thing has to be "The King's Feast".
In order to defeat Fang Ziheng, Lu Chuan preempted "The King's Feast" in front of "Looking for the Dragon" and released it on December 25.
Lu Chuan's abacus clanged, trying to use the first-mover advantage and the fierce box office offensive to compress the number of films in "Looking for the Dragon", so as to vent his hatred for Fang Ziheng.
For this reason, he deliberately found Wang Zhonglei and the person in charge of the theater of Xingmei Group, and asked the two to help win 35% of the national film schedule for the movie.
The Tan Dong of Xingmei Cinema did not give up Lu Chuan because of "Nanjing Nanjing", and still controlled the investment in "The King's Feast".
Wang Zhonglei is the middleman, and Hua Yi made a small investment.
When setting the schedule of "The King's Feast", Tan Dong made a special call to Fang Ziheng, meaning that after watching the box office in the first three days, he would never compress the schedule of "Looking for the Dragon" for no reason.
Fang Ziheng smiled at that time and said his blessing to Senior Brother Lu!
As a result, just like the previous life, "The King's Feast" was released for four days, and the total box office was more than 30 million.
How confident and arrogant Lu Chuan was before the movie was released, and how embarrassed he is now.
"The King's Feast" has a total investment of 100 million, and counting the publicity and distribution costs, it takes at least 300 million to return to the capital.
Now don't talk about 300 million, it's difficult to even 100 million, and Xingmei Group's pants are gone.
Tan Dong sprayed in front of Wang Zhonglei, scolding Lu Chuan's mud for not being able to support the wall, and the movie couldn't be filmed, so he did his best to pull the calf.
Without Fang Ziheng opening his mouth, major theaters across the country sent text messages one after another, adjusting the film schedule as soon as possible, and adding 30% of the film schedule of "The King's Feast" to "Looking for the Dragon".
It is foreseeable that as long as the box office of "Looking for the Dragon" on the first day is not too low, with the normal decline of "The Year of Dreams", the number of films scheduled will continue to rise.
For various reasons, Fang Ziheng naturally had the confidence to shout out a first-day box office of 100 million.
The reporters didn't understand the twists and turns inside, and when they heard his bold words, they were immediately excited.
100 million first-day box office, kill "Transformers 3"!
This kind of thing they like to hear the most!
is worthy of Fang Ziheng, who is becoming more and more of an international director.
Since "The Four Famous Catches", in the box office, no one among mainland directors is his opponent.
Only he Fang Ziheng is qualified to shout a first-day box office target of 100 million.
Other people, including Lao Mouzi, Feng Pants, and Jiang Wen, can't do it all, they can't shout 50 or 60 million, and shouting 100 million cliffs will be laughed at by the media.
After chatting a few more questions, seeing that the time was almost up, the reporters were satisfied and let Fang Ziheng and others enter.
The infield was crowded, and everyone stood up and looked at the entrance of the passage.
The center of the hall is a handful, all of which are well-known figures in the entertainment industry.
Huayi Wang, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong Song Ge, Li Ming, Li Shaohong, Zhang Zhao and others all came.
Internet video platform, Wang Wei, deputy director and president of Tudou Video, Gu Yong, president of Youku Video, Jia Yueting of LeTV Video, Gong Yu of iQiyi, and Sun Zhong of Tencent Video are all here.
In addition, the entertainment industry has also come a lot.
Wu Wenhui, Cao Wei, CEO and Deputy Director of Weibo, Zhang Yun, Vice President of Strategic Investment of Alibaba, Yu Yongfu of UC Browser, and Wang Xiaochuan, CEO of Sogou Browser.
Xiao Yang, the person in charge of Tiangong Yicai, Cheng Wu, vice president of Tengxun Interactive Entertainment Business Group, Liu Ge and Baoli Wanhe of Wanda Cinema Line and Li Mingqi of Cinema Line.
China Film Han Dong, Chen Yu, Deputy Director of the Film Bureau Zhang Hong, Deng Wendi, Yindu Organization Song Dynasty, Anle Film and Television Jiang Zhiqiang.
I have an understanding of "Looking for the Dragon", and there are almost all people who look forward to it.
Fang Ziheng stepped forward quickly and waved his hand sincerely to greet: "Dong Han, Bureau Zhang, Director Chen, Ms. Deng, Dong Song, President Jiang are welcome." ”
"Director Fang, let's wait!"
Han Dongxu pointed at Fang Ziheng and joked with a smile: "I thought I would have a small movie viewing party like before, so that we could have a look, but I didn't expect you to order the screening in advance, so everyone had to come over to attend the premiere ceremony." ”
"Haha.."
Han Dong's words made everyone around him smile kindly.
Not far away, Ali's Zhang Yun and Tencent Interactive Entertainment's Cheng Wu hesitated, and they felt a little abrupt when they wanted to come over to say hello, they were not familiar with Fang Ziheng, and they were even less familiar with Han Dong and Zhang Ju.
There has always been a gap between the Internet circle and the film and television industry.
On the other hand, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, and Yu Dong don't have so many worries.
Several people strode over directly, with a smile like seeing an old acquaintance, and congratulated them: "Director Fang, congratulations, "Looking for the Dragon" has finally been released after a year of preparation and shooting, and I look forward to the box office Changhong after the movie is released, wave after wave!" ”
"A few old brothers are polite, Ziheng is thanks to the help of the old brothers, and he can get to where he is today step by step."
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Fang Ziheng was very face-saving, calling Wang Zhongjun and others to the old brother, making enough gestures for the little brother.
There is no way, everyone is an ally now, and he is the youngest, so he can only be the elder.
The happy scene made countless insiders confused.
When did the major entertainment giants become so harmonious.
More celebrities and artists looked at Liu Qianqian, the only one who followed Fang Ziheng and was held by him.
After Liu Ye, Huang Bo and others entered the venue to greet the leaders, they walked into the backstage first to prepare for the stage to speak.
The young lady also wanted to leave together just now, but before she could let go of Fang Ziheng's arm, he grabbed her little hand.
At this time, the young lady's heart was pounding, and a surging flush appeared on her pretty face, both happy and worried.
Fang Ziheng tightened her little hand, and introduced to everyone with a smile: "Dong Han, Director Zhang, Director Chen, Ms. Deng, brothers, this is my good friend, Miss Liu Qianqian!" ”
"Haha, Director Fang, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a good friend, when will you invite you to drink the two of you's wedding wine?"
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and assisted in a kick to help the two make their relationship public.
He went to Fang Ziheng's crew many times, and he knew the intimate relationship between the two, since he was willing to bring people to everyone, it was very revealing.
Wang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong, and Deng Wendi all showed ambiguous smiles and nodded to Liu Qianqian.
The eyes of Dong Han and Director Zhang have also changed, and their attitude towards Liu Qianqian is much gentler, and they no longer regard her as a star artist.
Fang Ziheng's move is undoubtedly a signal to everyone and an announcement of the relationship between the two to the outside world.
Pal!
Hey!
This is the first time in three years that Fang Ziheng has publicly recognized a female 'good friend' in front of everyone.
If it weren't for the fact that there are so many fans and fans today, it is estimated that good friends would have become girlfriends.
