On January 5, the red carpet ceremony of the premiere of "Beijing Meets Seattle" was held in Beijing, and director Xue Xiaolu appeared with leading actors Zhang Jiayi and Gao Yuanyuan; In addition, directors Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Yan Ni and many other celebrities in the circle also came to the scene to help, and director Xue Xiaolu's classmate Wang Qian also attended the premiere as a special guest.

When Li Mu and Liu Yifei walked across the red carpet hand in hand, the audience cheered one after another, which couldn't help but make Li Mu think that maybe he should take Liu Yifei less to participate in such activities in the future, so as not to always steal the limelight from the creators of the movie.

Director Xue Xiaolu walked a few steps to greet him, and after Li Mu and Director Xue shook hands, everyone entered the backstage together.

"Did you read the news? "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" has broken the record for the highest grossing Chinese romance film." Li Mu asked with a smile.

Director Xue Xiaolu nodded and said, "I saw it, half a month, 440 million, very strong."

Li Mu smiled.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanyuan was inspired and asked with a smile, "Director Li, do you think our movie also has a chance to break this record?"

Li Mu smiled at Gao Yuanyuan, and then he turned his head to look at Director Xue Xiaolu next to him and said, "What's the matter, Director Xue has no confidence?"

Xue Xiaolu nodded and said, "I'm really not confident, but it's not because of the quality of the film."

"Huh?"

Li Mu was curious.

Director Xue Xiaolu said: "If Director Li is willing to add his name to the screenwriter column, then I must be confident, but ......."

Li Mu smiled: "I won't compete with the screenwriters below."

Director Xue Xiaolu was a little helpless when he heard this.

The script of "Beijing Meets Seattle" is that Li Mu first came up with a big framework and plot synopsis, and then handed it over to the company's internal screenwriting department to improve and plump up the entire script.

In fact, normally speaking, Li Mu is the screenwriter of this movie, and he is the most important screenwriter in the first place.

There is a ready-made example of this in the original plane.

It is said that director Chen Sicheng does not have the ability to complete the script independently, and his scripts are almost always conceived by himself with a large framework, and then invited other professional screenwriters to plump up the story, but whether it is "Beijing City Love Story" or "Detective Chinatown" series, it is Chen Sicheng's own work written and directed when it is promoted.

And almost every time Chen Sicheng wants to sue with other screenwriters over the issue of authorship, but other screenwriters are actually just fighting for the right of authorship, Chen Sicheng's status as the first screenwriter is always unshakable, and even the screenwriter column in the encyclopedia page only marks Chen Sicheng alone.

So according to common sense, there is no problem with the screenwriter of "Beijing Meets Seattle" to mark Li Mu's name, but some time ago, Li Mu issued a notice within the company, and the notice asked him not to be used as the screenwriter of the film when promoting films that were not written by him in the future.

This notice seems very unreasonable, you are obviously a genuine screenwriter, your fame is obviously the biggest project, as long as the movie plays your name when it is promoted, it will definitely be able to improve the box office performance of the movie very effectively, but you just don't let the following publicity, why? Why do you do this?

In fact, Li Mu has really thought it through this matter.

First of all, in the future, the number of films to be produced by the company every year will be more and more, and situations like this will become more and more common for Li Mu to make a plot framework and the company's screenwriters to polish the plot.

If the company produces five, ten, or even more of these movies a year in the future, should the screenwriter column of each movie be marked with his Li Mu's name?

Imagine that the company has five or ten Li Mu screenwriter works a year, and the audience can almost see the works of "Li Mu screenwriter" when they go to the theater to watch movies in any month, so will the gold content of the words "Li Mu screenwriter" be greatly reduced?

Secondly, Li Mu's company will not only produce works that are very classic and very talked about, if the company produces works in the future, although the quality is uneven, but there are certain merits, all of them will be marked "Li Mu."

screenwriter", so after watching a not so wonderful work of "screenwriter Li Mu", will the audience not have such high expectations for the next movie "screenwriter Li Mu"?

But what if Li Mu's next movie is the very classic "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Interstellar", and "Dream Travel"?

So the crux of the matter is that Li Mu is really different from other directors, and other directors only have a few works that they can handle, of course, they must bind all of them to themselves as much as possible.

But Li Mu is different, his problem is just the opposite of others, his problem is actually that there are too many of his works, so he must do subtraction, and the audience must have the impression that "Li Mu's products must be high-quality".

It is precisely based on this consideration that Li Mu will ask not to call his name on the script that he did not complete independently in the future.

"By the way, when this play is finished, do you want to take a good rest? Do you want to travel. Adjust the adjustment status?" Li Mu asked Director Xue Xiaolu again.

Director Xue Xiaolu has always been known for her delicate thoughts, so she instantly understood what Li Mu meant.

"Mr. Li, this is a script that suits me again?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "In 2007, I bought a film and television adaptation right on Jinjiang Online, the main story line is about a girl who finally chose to commit suicide due to illness and online violence, Director Xue is delicate, and should be able to grasp this theme well."

Director Xue Xiaolu nodded after hearing this, "I'll look at the script when I go back."

Li Mu nodded.

Gao Yuanyuan wanted to speak and stopped.

She was very interested in this new movie!

In a movie about online violence, the protagonist still sounds like a woman, and it is likely to be a big heroine movie, with extra points for the big heroine and a bonus for realistic themes; Li Mu is optimistic about the project, and he bought the copyright as early as 2007, and this eighty percent is a hit, right? And a plus!

After her heart moved, she looked at Li Mu with hope, and her eyes were almost full: "Choose me, I want to act!"

But Li Mu acted like a nobody this time, as if he couldn't receive the signal from Gao Yuanyuan at all.

No matter how good the relationship is, you can't want to act, I'll give it with both hands right away, right?

It's as if Li Mu is begging you to act in my movie, but it's really unnecessary.

The exchange between Li Mu and director Xue Xiaolu came to an end, Xue Xiaolu is the director of the movie, and she is very busy tonight, so Li Mu quickly let her go to her own business.

The on-site staff, the directors and actors who came to help looked at Liu Yifei with different eyes than before.

Pretty is still pretty, and it seems to be getting prettier.

The most important thing is that the total box office of 3 billion US dollars!

The big heroine movie "The Hunger Games" series, a single score exceeded 900 million US dollars, and there will be 3 more follow-up films in this series!

Cow!

It took about half an hour for the premiere to officially open, and the premiere of the day was broadcast live by the six princesses of CCTV.

After the premiere interaction, the crew played the film live, and after the film screening, a large number of audience members spontaneously stood up and applauded - it seems that the effect of holding this premiere is quite good.

The premiere was followed by the mid-day screening of the film, and after the mid-day screening, it was the nationwide screening on January 6.

The original time and space "Beijing City Meets Seattle" has walked out of a rather rebellious box office curve, and the general movie is the highest box office in the first weekend after the movie is released, but "Beijing City Meets Seattle" is different, its box office in the first two days of the weekend is only about 26 million yuan, but it completed a quite box office counterattack in the second weekend after the release of the film, with a box office of 33 million yuan in a single day!

The second week grossed more than the first week, which is actually quite rare.

But there is even more rare in the future, the third week after the release of the film, that is, more than half a month after the release of the film, its single-day box office is still higher than the first weekend when the film was released.

This illustrates the original space-time

The early attention of this movie is actually not enough at all, and many audiences have entered the theater after the movie's reputation has risen.

But there is no such problem in this plane.

Late counterattack?

Please, this is a movie from Li Mu's company!

It is said that the script was written by Li Mu himself, but Li Mu didn't let the company promote it so much.

With this alone, it is impossible for the film to lack attention in the early days.

47 million on the first day of release, 48 million on the next day, Saturday on the third day, the box office of the film skyrocketed to 73 million, and the fourth day was Sunday, and the box office continued to be at a high level of 77 million.

Next:

Monday, 43 million.

Tuesday, 37 million.

52 million on Saturday.

49 million on Sunday.

Because the movie in this time and space has attracted a lot of attention from the beginning, there is no phenomenon that the box office in two or three weeks is higher than the first week as in the original time and space. The box office of this film was as high as 77 million in the first weekend, but it immediately shrank to 50 million in the second week's weekend.

From January 6 to January 16, the film was released for a total of 11 days, with a total box office of 513 million.

The box office of "Beijing Meets Seattle" shocked the entire Chinese entertainment circle!

"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" has been released for 26 days at this time, and the current total box office is 580 million.

It should be noted that the final total box office of "Do Not Disturb 2" in the original time and space is actually 471 million yuan, and the domestic film market in this time and space is developing more rapidly, so the final box office of "Do Not Disturb 2" will naturally rise with the expansion of the market, and the prediction made by relevant institutions for this movie has recently increased to 660 million yuan.

The final box office forecast for "Beijing Meets Seattle" has also been raised to 720 million yuan.

Amazing.

Director Xue Xiaolu is really a blockbuster this time!

And the degree of shock is quite severe.

At present, how many female directors have successfully joined the "100 million yuan club" in the entire Chinese film industry?

Actually, there are 3 of them!

Director Jin Yimeng, "Very Perfect", 2009, with a total box office of 100 million.

Director Hu Wen, "Confucius", 2010, with a total box office of 101 million.

Xu Jinglei's "Du Lala's Promotion", 2010, with a total box office of 124 million.

But in fact, the box office of these three female directors may all have a certain amount of moisture, and they are all suspected of making up a box office of over 100 million, in fact, these three people all seem to have marketed themselves as the first female directors in China with a box office of over 100 million.

Even until the release of director Li Yu's "Second Exposure" in 2012, after its box office exceeded 100 million, there were still a large number of press releases on the Internet that director Li Yu was the first female director in China to have a box office of over 100 million.

Three years, four female directors, and four works gave birth to four of China's first female directors with a box office of over 100 million.

Among them, it may be that director Jin Yimeng's "first female director with a box office of over 100 million" is more recognized in the circle.

But no matter who of these people is the first female director in China with a box office of over 100 million in the real sense, one thing remains the same, that is, almost all of the works of these four people are just stuck at the key node of 100 million.

But when it came to Director Xue Xiaolu, everything suddenly changed.

Who are you still fighting for, who is the first female director in China with a box office of over 100 million?

I'm sorry, the box office of "Beijing Meets Seattle" directed by Xue Xiaolu exceeded 500 million in just 11 days after its release!

It seems that all of a sudden, the name of the first female director with a box office of more than 100 million yuan is not fragrant, and now when it comes to domestic female directors in the circle, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be Xue Xiaolu!

There are few other answers.

Director Xue Xiaolu is the only answer!

What is the concept of a box office of more than 500 million?

Let's list it!

The box office of a single movie in the domestic market exceeds 500 million

Who are the directors?

The first place must be Li Mu, and then the second is Li Mu's tool director Shen Junsheng, this goods "People in Embarrassment" has a box office of 1.5 billion!

Third, "The Great Earthquake" directed by Feng Xiaogang and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2".

The fourth is "Let the Bullets Fly" directed by Jiang Wen.

And then what?

No, it seems like there is no one.

In other words, director Xue Xiaolu is the fifth director in the country to have a box office of more than 500 million!

Is director Zhang Yimou bull or not?

In 2002, the movie "Hero" was released, and its domestic box office was as high as 250 million! You must know that in 2002, the national market was only 920 million, and director Zhang Yimou used only one "Hero" to account for more than a quarter of the total box office of the year.

And in the total box office of 920 million yuan, even the box office of imported movies will account for nearly half, so we all know how terrifying director Zhang Yimou was at that time, right?

However, director Zhang Yimou has not had a box office of more than 500 million so far, and the box office of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" released by Director Zhang last year was less than 300 million.

Even a great director like Director Zhang Yimou still has no works with a box office of more than 500 million for the time being, but Director Xue Xiaolu, who only started to take charge of the director last year, did it first?

Is Zhou Xingzhi a director bull or not?

Whether it is "Kung Fu" in 2004 or "Yangtze River No. 7" in 2008, these two movies undoubtedly created a movie-watching frenzy at the time, but what is the box office of these two movies?

"Kung Fu" is 170 million, and "Yangtze River No. 7" is 203 million.

That's right, these movies were indeed released too early, and if these movies were released today, it would almost be impossible to have such a small box office.

Especially "Kung Fu", the final box office will almost inevitably exceed 500 million.

But hypothetical is hypothetical, and the current reality is that Zhou Xingzhi has no works with a box office of more than 500 million for the time being.

What other big directors are left in China?

Brother Chen Kai and Director Chen, who used to have to carry the camera for him?

He doesn't have any works with a box office of more than 500 million!

Han Sanping, Huang Jianxin and others co-directed "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"?

It's a pity that it's just that little short.

There is really no more, there are really only 5 directors with a single domestic work with a box office of more than 500 million, and there is a female director in these 5 people.

There is really a feeling of becoming famous in one fell swoop.

The focus of ordinary viewers and insiders is definitely different.

Ordinary audiences are exclaiming that Gao Yuanyuan is really a goddess, the shape in the film is simply not too beautiful, and they are all exclaiming that our Yuanyuan also has a masterpiece with a box office of more than 500 million, which is simply too beautiful!

However, insiders pay more attention to these appalling achievements of director Xue Xiaolu.

But when the people in the circle calmed down and pondered carefully, they found that:

「***！」

"There are a total of 5 directors in China who have a box office of more than 500 million works, but the first Li Mu will not talk about it, and the second Shen Junsheng is simply the tool of Director Li Mu, as for the fifth Xue Xiaolu - rub! The movie directed by Director Xue turned out to be a project of Li Mu's company!"

"It's not just a movie from Li Mu's company? In fact, who in the circle doesn't know that "Beijing Meets Seattle" is simply a work written by Li Mu himself? It's just that there are too many Li Mu's classic works, and he doesn't want this false name anymore!"

"I'm rubbing! The five directors still have to remove three "Li Mu series", and the rest is Director Feng Xiaogang and Director Jiang Wen. 「

"Let's talk about a well-known secret - "Let the Bullets Fly" Li Mu also invested!"

"Huh? Speechless!"

In short, the circle exploded!
