Chapter 215: The biggest dark horse in the Spring Festival stalls

The gold content of the Golden Eagle Award is higher than that of the Feitian Award.

Tang Wanqing won the Best Actress Award for Feitian last year, her fame increased greatly, and her career began to flourish.

But after all, it is still from the first echelon, and there is a gap some.

But this year, when she successfully won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress, she successfully stepped to a new level and became one of the top first-line artists.

The influence and popularity brought by the correspondence are also not the same.

Some of the commercial brands that Tang Wanqing cooperated with before were only some popular brands in China, but now her cooperation partners have also been upgraded.

Many foreign luxury goods and cosmetics stations have taken the initiative to throw cooperation intentions to her.

The endorsement fee is not calculated in millions, but directly in tens of millions of endorsement fees.

Although Tang Wanqing has rejected a lot of business activities, her daily work is still full, and she flies to various cities every day.

Song Yi is beginning to plan the film series.

After all, in front of the media, he bragged about becoming a screenwriter with a box office of 10 billion.

So this year, his goal is to set a blockbuster in the Spring Festival file.

The field of film is a relatively unfamiliar field for Song Yi.

In his last life, he was only mixed in the circle of film and television dramas and variety shows.

But this does not prevent him from knowing that movies and TV series are completely different concepts.

Although a movie is only about 1-2 hours, the cost of filming is much more expensive than that of a TV series, the production is slightly larger, and the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is made at every turn.

Song Yi's first step now is to get the script of the movie first.

Because after announcing that he was going to make a movie, many screenwriters now come to the company with their own scripts to find him, wanting him to invest in the script.

There are also some people who take money and want to invest in Song Yi's movie scripts.

However, he handed over these things to Qin Wen to deal with.

After some thought, he decided not to make a big production at the beginning, but chose to make a big deal with a small one.

In his memory, the relatively clear dark horse movie is a movie that broke out of the encirclement in the Spring Festival stalls by virtue of word of mouth, detonated the box office, and became a phenomenal movie, which is beyond imagination.

It's called "Hello, Lee Hwan Young".

This movie, which made Jia Ling, who is also a newcomer, directed and filmed for the first time, and it was a huge success.

Therefore, this is a better stepping stone, and it is also the best choice for Song Yi to break into the film market.

After making a decision, Song Yi began to write the script.

There is still a gap between the movie script and the TV series script, so when he was creating, he found a professional film screenwriter to participate in the whole process.

In the end, it took a month for Song Yi to grind out the script.

Then it's time to start looking for a professional director.

Song Yi wanted to find director Zhang Jianzhong to shoot this time, but he didn't have a schedule at all.

But fortunately, the other party introduced himself to a good young director.

Then it's about finding actors.

Because this is a warm comedy movie, the search for actors is actually quite demanding.

After recruiting and auditioning a series of comedians, the crew finally decided on the role.

Everything was ready, and on October 8, after the National Day, Song Yi announced the start-up.

After that, Song Yi was almost stationed on the set.

He personally stared at every shot, and the shots that didn't meet his requirements were repeated all the time.

In a swimming scene in the film, the male protagonist jumped into the lake and jumped over and over again, and a wrestling scene was filmed for two days and grinded seventeen before it met Song Yi's requirements.

Also, in order to shoot a scene of gnawing buns, the crew prepared more than 100 buns, and the actors gnawed more than 20 but still had no complaints;

In order to shoot a scene where a mother and daughter talk heart-to-heart in a tavern, Song Yi directly asked the actress to go into battle with real wine.

Song Yi said the most on the set: This is a movie that relies on true feelings to move the audience, so I want you to feel that pure emotion in every shot.

Under such high requirements, the show was finally announced in early December and all filming was completed.

It took more than a month of editing, and the dailies were finally submitted for review.

During this period, Songtang Entertainment Co., Ltd. is also carrying out preliminary publicity according to the plan.

On December 16, the film released a trailer of "What kind of family is this".

On December 24, the film released the "very good" version of the poster of the three leading actors.

On December 25, the film released a special feature of "Where Are You Going, Dad".

On December 31, the film released the MV of the promotional song "The Little Girl Under the Streetlight".

On January 12, the film released the "1981 Commemorative" version of the poster.

On January 14, the film released the trailer of the "I Can Make You Happier" version.

.......

At the same time of publicity, the company's operation department is also contacting various theaters to arrange the number of scheduled films.

This is a troublesome matter, because there are only so many time for the Spring Festival, and everyone wants to schedule more movies for themselves.

So if you want to schedule more films, you have to work hard.

Fortunately, Qin Wen is better at this work, and in the face of the siege of several other Spring Festival movies, Song Yi's movie still got a not too bad schedule.

Finally, the film is scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Everyone on the Internet is not too optimistic about Song Yi's comedy movie with a female perspective, and thinks he may have to hit a wall.

Although he has risen to prominence in the field of TV dramas, and the other people he kills have no power to fight back, but this is a movie.

His opponents are also some big directors and gold medal screenwriters who are deeply involved in the film market.

Everyone knows more about the market than Song Yi.

And depending on the investment in the script, the promotional films of several other companies are all big productions claiming to be hundreds of millions, but Song Yi's movie, I heard that it only cost about 50 million before and after.

Tang Wanqing was actually a little worried about Song Yi this time.

She is not worried that Song Yi will lose money, she is worried that Song Yi's movie results this time are not good enough, which will have a bad impact on him.

You must know that Song Yi has always been a very good existence since his debut.

If he suddenly makes a mistake in the film market this time, he will definitely be laughed at by competitors, and he will disss him with the previous "tens of billions of box office screenwriters".

So in her spare time, she is also vigorously helping to promote the new movie on the Internet.

Facing Tang Wanqing's worries, Song Yi comforted: "Don't worry, I will definitely impress those people this time, and when everyone finishes the routine, my sincerity will be like a knife that will kill through their encirclement." ”

"Yes, I believe in you."

As time passed, it soon came time for the New Year.

On February 15, at 8 o'clock in the evening on the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Hello, Li Huanying" was officially released in major theaters.

In order to support his son, after eating at home, Zhou Xiuwen proposed that the family go to the movies.

So, Song Yunfei and Zhou Xiuwen, who had not been in the cinema for many years, dragged their son, and the family of three watched Song Yi's debut.

In the cinema, Zhou Xiuwen, as a mother, was moved to cry after watching her son's movie.

Seeing this, Song Yunfei teased at his son: "Look at what movie you made, the Chinese New Year made your mother so sad."

I haven't seen her cry in years. ”

"Uh......." Song Yi.

Zhou Xiuwen turned her head and glared at her husband, hugged her son and said, "Shut up, I'm happy and moved to cry."

Son, don't listen to your dad, your movie is very good, much better than those movies that fight and kill.

In this drama, I saw the greatness of a mother and the selfless love for her children as a parent.

You're a movie with temperature.

So son, come on, your drama will definitely be liked by everyone. ”

"Thank you, Mom."

Just when the three of them were chatting, Tang Wanqing came over by video and said, "Song Yi, you made my mother and me cry."

It's so touching. ”

In order to have a sense of surprise, Tang Wanqing also watched this movie for the first time tonight.

"Hahaha.... It's okay, Wanqing girl. ”

Zhou Xiuwen took the phone and said with a smile: "You tell your mother, I also cried just now." ”

"It's all Song Yi's fault for making such a touching movie."

Tang Wanqing whispered: "The audience who came out of watching the movie with me just now are praising this movie for being good-looking and touching, and many people are still talking about it when they come out of the hall, and the response is very good." ”

"It's the same on our side."

Zhou Xiuwen smiled: "Also, Wanqing, tomorrow you and your mother remember to come to our house for dinner, do you know?" ”

"yes, okay."

Tang Wanqing suddenly said: "Auntie, I'm going to hang up the phone, I seem to be recognized, and now many people are coming around, I'm going to be scared." ”

"Okay, stay safe yourself."

"Auntie, happy new."

"Happy New Year."

As Tang Wanqing said, when everyone was playing routines, Song Yi's movie, with its true feelings, made everyone laugh and cry, and won a good reputation.

After watching it, they all strongly recommended their relatives and friends to each other to watch it.

On the first day, the number of films in major theaters came up.

As of 13:59 the next day, the box office of the film exceeded 500 million yuan.

temporarily ranked first at the box office of all Spring Festival movies, and became the biggest dark horse.

This made the faces of several other families ugly.

Tang Wanqing saw this data at home, and jumped up excitedly with her arms around Song Yi's neck and kissed him on the face.

"My husband is really the best!"

But Song Yi knew that this was just the beginning, and it was just beginning to be full of strength.

On February 18, 7 days after the film's release, the box office directly exceeded 3 billion yuan, becoming the 12th film in national film history to break 3 billion at the box office, and continued to occupy the first place at the box office.

And Song Yi also became the highest-grossing rookie screenwriter in national film history with this film.

Tang Wanqing directly Weibo, showing off her boyfriend's great achievements.

On February 21, the cumulative box office of the film exceeded 4 billion yuan on the 10th day of its release, becoming the sixth film in national film history to break 4 billion yuan at the box office.

Tang Wanqing was already numb.

4 billion, what is this concept?

From her debut to the present, she has not witnessed a movie that has surpassed this box office.

Now, she has witnessed this miracle.

On March 6, the film continued to be popular, and many people watched it 2 and 3.

On the 23rd day of its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 5 billion yuan, becoming the third film in national film history to break 5 billion yuan.

On March 10, the film grossed 783 million US dollars (about 5.1 billion yuan), ranking among the top 100 in the global single-film box office list.

On March 12, the film grossed nearly $800 million, ranking among the top 90 box office in global film history.

Finally, as of April 10, the cumulative box office of the film exceeded 5.4 billion yuan on the 57th day of its release.

At the beginning, Song Yi ridiculed himself for achieving the achievement of "10 billion box office screenwriter", and everyone thought that he was floating and bragging.

During the Spring Festival, everyone thought that his new movie would hit a wall and make him disgraced.

The result?

With the smallest cost investment, the family has become the biggest dark horse of the year, creating a box office record that makes people's jaws drop.

The achievement of "10 billion box office screenwriters" was cut in half with only one movie.

If nothing else, this year, he may be able to achieve this achievement by making a few more films.

What many people can't achieve in a lifetime, he did in just one year.

Professionals on the Internet also analyzed why Song Yi's movie was so successful.

As a newcomer, he gave up what he wasn't good at and focused on emotions.

In today's era of materialism and indifference, he touched everyone with such a warm movie and aroused everyone's love for their parents.

It also reminds everyone of the love their parents give them.

This is what a critic once said about the film.

[The most important factor in the success of the film is that true feelings trump routines, and the author's sincere nostalgia for his mother is a comprehensive victory of "her perspective" or "her economy". 】

The success of this movie also made Chen Ying very happy.

Because of the financial figures, it looks so much better.

The income brought by this drama can be said to be a miracle.

The filming of the company's drama, plus publicity, etc., had a total investment of less than 100 million, but it won a box office of more than 5 billion.

That's a 50-fold increase!

Not only that, the projects invested by Qin Wen before have also begun to make profits, and most of the more than 30 projects invested in the early stage have made money except for a few that have lost.

The overall scale of the company has also expanded a lot, and it has successfully squeezed into the top ten entertainment companies in the country.

And Song Yi continues to expand his achievements in the film industry.

Now his goal is to accumulate cash quickly, so the scripts he chooses are low-investment, high-return movies.

After the Spring Festival was a hit, he continued to use the nonsensical and funny mode to make the commercial movie "Crazy Stone".

Then, in everyone's amazed eyes, this movie reaped a box office record of one billion with an investment of three million.

Everyone has been amazed by his ability to write scripts, and you have given him the nickname "Hand of God".

Because scripts written by his hands are always able to work miracles.

Just when everyone thought that he would take advantage of the victory and quickly complete his achievement of "million-dollar box office screenwriter", he suddenly stopped creating movies.

At the invitation of Jiangsu Satellite TV, he went to open up a new variety show.
