Chapter 247: Shark Beach Premiere
"Mimi's "Shark Beach" doesn't seem to be very good at the pre-sale box office, what do you think is the reason?"
One day in early July, Yang Liu, a female college student, posted a post in Yang Mi Bar and asked.
She has liked Yang Mi since her freshman year, and now it has been more than three years since she officially became a "bee".
Last month, Yang Mi's "Painted Skin 2" was a box office hit, and Yang Liu was excited to post on the post bar to praise the box office appeal of fans, but he was scared.
"The success of "Painted Skin 2" has a dime to do with Yang Mi? Aren't you all going to Zhou Xun, Zhao Gushen and Chen Kun to watch this movie? I find that you fans are really funny, anything can be said to be the credit of your own idols, I heard that your honey will be starring her in "Shark Beach" next month, and then blow the box office appeal when this film is successful! β
The words are really annoying, but Yang Liu didn't have the confidence to refute at that time, otherwise how could he say it? Say that "Shark Beach" will be a big hit next month? Who can guarantee it? Even if you dare to pat your chest and promise, it's not convincing if the movie is not released! Air-to-air is boring, it's better to wait for the box office results of "Shark Beach" to come out and then go back.
Yang Liu is very confident in the box office performance of "Shark Beach", but this confidence does not come from confidence in the idol himself, but confidence in Li Mu, the screenwriter of "Shark Beach".
This is Li Mu's screenwriting work, since 2004, Li Mu's scripts have not had particularly bad results!
Could it be that Li Mu just stumbled once, and just let our "honey" catch up?
Impossible, "Mimi" is not so unlucky, "Mimi" is the most beautiful, even God has to keep it!
However, some time ago, "Shark Beach" officially opened online pre-sale, and it was revealed that the pre-sale box office of "Shark Beach" seemed to be very poor.
On the Internet, the movie tickets for "Shark Beach" are pre-sold half a month in advance, and the general audience will not buy tickets so long in advance, so it seems that the temporary pre-sale box office is a little lower, but it is also a pre-sale half a month in advance, and the pre-sale data of "Painted Skin 2" in the same period last month is much stronger than that of "Shark Beach", and some netizens posted the pre-sale curves of the two movies respectively, it seems that "Shark Beach" is only about half of "Painted Skin 2" in the same period.
Now Yang Liu couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly came to the post bar to inquire about the situation.
"Actually, it's not bad, at present, the pre-sale data is indeed about half of "Painted Skin 2", but how many celebrities have joined "Painted Skin 2"? Even Mimi also participated! Look at "Shark Beach" again, look at the introduction of the movie that Mimi supported by herself, just look at the cast lineup of the two movies, "Shark Beach" can have half of the box office of "Painted Skin 2". β
"Although I am a fan of Mimi, I still have to say that there is actually no comparison between the two movies, even if they are not compared to the cast lineup, they still lose compared to the film "Shark Beach", Maoyan Movie shows that the first day of "Painted Skin 2" is 80.8%, and "Shark Beach" is expected to be 50.1%, the difference between the two is too far."
"Declare in advance, I'm not a fan of Yang Mi, but I do like her, but isn't Yang Mi's acting skills very average? Coupled with her voice, can she really hold up a shark movie alone? There are movies starring other actors, Yang Mi is indeed quite eye-catching as a vase, and she is the one who takes the lead to support a play? Sorry, I'm not optimistic! β
"I'm grass, can I have about half of "Painted Skin 2" and still not be satisfied? "Painted Skin 2" has a high probability of breaking 800 million, and half of it is three or four billion, Yang Mi rushes a wave alone, and when she encounters a big shark, she can get a box office of three or four hundred million, is this not enough? I don't think it will necessarily have half of the box office of "Painted Skin 2", fans are very fierce in the early stage of the movie, and they will wither in the later stage, and "Shark Beach" may be the same. β
"Actually, "Shark Beach" is not a very good resource, the investment is so much, there are no big names to help, Yang Mi's conditions are good, but unfortunately no one is a good husband Liu Yifei! What kind of resources do you think people Liu Yifei are? "Hurricane Rescue" cooperated with Cheng Long, "The King of Kung Fu" cooperated with Cheng Long and Li Lian, "Doomsday Collapse" cooperated with Cheng Long and Yang Ziqiong, "Inception" cooperated with Oscar winner and actress, "The Hunger Games" has tens of millions of readers in North America, I heard that her husband Li Mu has arranged a new movie, or is it a cooperation with Cheng Long - what is a top resource? That's it! β
"No way, who makes people choose their husbands with a good eye?"
"What a fart! It's just a matter of luck to be the first, Li Mu's debut is Tianhu, and you need vision to choose Li Mu? Not all blind people will definitely choose! β
"Don't be a husband, Li Muke hasn't married her yet, if you want me to say that anyone has a chance!"
Yang Liu was suddenly very glad that she didn't go back directly some time ago, and after reading so many answers from netizens on the post bar, she also figured it out, if the box office of "Shark Beach" could be half of "Painted Skin 2", it would indeed be very good, if she was impulsive, she replied that the box office of "Shark Beach" is not necessarily worse than "Painted Skin 2", and most of them will be slapped in the face after more than half a month.
Fortunately, she was forced to hold back this breath at that time.
In fact, it is also, it is all played by Yang Mi, what is there to compare? Regardless of whether "Painted Skin 2" is a box office hit or "Shark Beach" is a box office hit, aren't our honeys all big winners? !
Thinking about it like this, my heart really feels much better.
After figuring it out, Yang Liu was no longer entangled, but found the official trailer of "Shark Beach" just released some time ago and watched it again.
In the trailer, Yang Mi wears a sexy bikini and surfs skillfully on the sea, and the picture is exciting and beautiful. Suddenly, a shark with a bloody mouth flashed beneath the surface of the sea, and Sensen's sharp teeth made people shudder.
Yang Mi nervously calculated the distance between the shark and the sea buoy, and finally she resolutely chose to fight hard, and the terrifying shark race is not only a test of swimming skills, but also a test of courage.
Boarding the buoy at the last moment, but then was knocked down by the shark, Yang Mi dived rapidly underwater, and the shark with its teeth exposed behind her got closer and closer.
After reading it, Yang Liu breathed a long sigh of relief.
This trailer made her change her previous perception of Yang Mi, although she had always liked Yang Mi very much, but she actually felt that the kind of beautiful TV series was the most suitable for her, but she didn't expect her to play a shark film that was also remarkable and not playing, which is very rare.
A casual glance at the comments below shows that the majority of the reviews are positive, but many people have also expressed concern.
"The trailer looks good, a little interested."
"It's exciting, but I'm a little worried that the essence is all in the trailer."
"It's hard to say whether the movie is good-looking or not, but Yang Mi's figure is really good."
Yang Liu can be regarded as having figured it out, so why do you care about the box office? Shouldn't the important thing be that idols are always improving and trying different roles?
The vase can act, the play that takes the lead can also be acted, the costume beauty can be played, the modern beauty can also be played, and the most powerful thing is that the heroine of the disaster movie can also act, Da Mimi is already powerful enough, the box office is not comparable to "Painted Skin 2", even if it is only three or four billion, it is very good, after all, the whole movie is supported by her alone.
When the film is released, go to the theater to support it, and it's over!
β¦β¦
In July, the TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" released the first version of the makeup photos, but it stabbed the hornet's nest all of a sudden, and the fans of the original work completely quit.
In fact, there were rumors on the Internet before that the actor emperor chose Chen Jianbin for the drama party, and everyone was a little worried at that time, but they were a little lucky in their hearts.
Have you ever disappointed everyone in the dramas filmed by Huashang over the years? Doesn't seem to have it at all!
So can Hua Shang arrange a middle-aged uncle like Chen Jianbin to play the personable emperor?
Definitely not!
Rumors, must be rumors!
As a result, as soon as the makeup photos were released, good guys, why didn't you use Chen Jianbin to play the emperor? Huan Huan also used Sun Li!
And not only that, if you look at the makeup photos of these two people, Sun Li is in the style of Qi bangs, Chen Jianbin is rustic, and even a little obscene.
This caused an uproar.
For a time, comments on "soil", "old", "uncle emperor", and "aunt and concubine" flooded the entire Internet.
"No matter how sad the urging is, I haven't let a rural father play the hero's tragic urging! I resolutely do not accept Chen Jianbin to play Xuan Ling! β
"Rolling all over the ground begging Huashang to recast, I don't want Aunt Sun Li to play Huanhuan!"
"Oh, my mother, aunt, concubine, uncle, emperor, ruffian, Hua Shang, is this going to shoot "The Most Beautiful Sunset Red"?"
"Huashang dramas have always been fairy casting, I didn't expect it to be a big loss this time, I think eighty percent is the pot of director Zheng Xiaolong, Huashang's previous casting was actually Li Mu's casting, but Li Mu's biggest shortcoming is that he respects the director's opinion too much, and he begged Director Li Mu to come out of the mountain to cast in person!"
"Indeed, I heard that director Li Mu of "To Youth" decided to choose a rookie actor Jiang Shuying to play one of the heroines, but the director and producer said that they would engage in four little flowers to go into battle together, and finally Li Mu respected the opinions of the director and producer, compromised, and the newcomer Jiang Shuying was eliminated!"
"Well, upstairs, in fact, replace the so-called shadow and replace it with the new four little flowers-there can really be it!"
"Resolutely resist the destruction of the casting of the three views, and ask Li Mu to respond!"
"Zhou Xun plays Zhen Huan, isn't Nie Yuan fragrant when he plays the emperor? Isn't Nie Yuan's Yongzheng in "Step by Step" very good? Why can't you continue to use Nie Yuan? β
"Why don't you let Yifei play Huanhuan? The white soldier looks like a good one, right? Huashang guards so many beauties, why do you choose Sun Li? β
Li Mu was filming in the United States when the casting turmoil of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was big, and seeing that things were getting worse, even when Chen Jianbin attended an event, the audience publicly used this casting to shame him, and Li Mu had no choice but to respond publicly.
He commented on his Weibo account:
"Sun Li is the first choice of Zhen Huan in my mind, Chen Jianbin is the first choice of the emperor in my heart, Jiang Xin is the candidate for Concubine Hua in my heart, there are no shady and unspoken rules in the casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", please give the actors some time, give Director Zheng Xiaolong a little time, and give Hua Shang a little time, time will prove that there is no problem with this casting."
After Li Mu responded publicly, netizens did not oppose it as fiercely as before, although everyone still didn't approve of this casting, but now even Li Mu said that the casting was suitable, and many people inevitably began to waver.
After all, Li Mu's influence is there.
The casting of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can only be regarded as a small episode, and the most important thing for Huashang Media in July is the release of "Shark Beach".
In early July, Yang Mi successively participated in many interview programs such as "Very Quiet Distance" to promote the new movie, and at the same time, the filmmaker successively released the second and third promotional videos.
Although Li Mu is far away, he still accepted a video interview with a domestic reporter, in which Li Mu praised Guo Fan's professionalism as a director, and also said how Guo Fan praised Yang Mi's dedication, how dangerous and hard shooting in the sea was, and how Yang Mi's performance impressed the company.
In fact, it is indeed hard to shoot in the sea, but the danger is not enough, the safety measures of the crew must be in place, and filming scenes in the sea is at least much safer than filming blasting scenes, but the audience and fans love to listen to these, for the box office of the movie, Li Mu of course has to say something that the audience loves to hear.
In late July, the popularity of "Shark Beach" has become obvious, and the film company took advantage of the situation to hold a premiere in Beijing, Li Mu did not participate because he was filming in the United States, but he still recorded a video to encourage Yang Mi and other film creators.
On July 20, the movie "Shark Beach" was finally officially released worldwide.
β¦β¦
On the morning of July 20, Yangcheng, at the entrance of a theater.
"Willow?"
As soon as Yang Liu was about to enter the door, she heard several voices calling her name behind her at the same time.
When she turned around, she found that she had met a high school classmate, and saw five boys standing behind her, some tall, some short, some fat and some thin, and some wearing thick glasses.
"Isn't it? Watching a movie alone? β
"What a coincidence, how many years have we said we haven't seen each other?"
"It's been a while, at least two years, right? What a coincidence, what a coincidence! β
"I haven't seen each other for two years, and I'm getting more and more beautiful, and I deserve to be the class flower in our class."
"Which movie are you watching?"
"I'm Shark Beach, what about you?"
"How many of us? I haven't bought a ticket yet, but I said I wanted to see it togetherβ"
"What a coincidence, a few of us also made an appointment to watch "Shark Beach" together, by the way, what is your seat number?"
β¦β¦
Just now, one of the boys was going to say that a few of them made an appointment to watch "The Four Famous Catches" together, but before the words could be spoken, they were diverted by a boy named Gao Yue among the five boys.
This boy named Gao Yue is obviously a little interested in Yang Liu, so he temporarily changed his hexagram to watch "Shark Beach".
Yang Liu was also in a good mood when he heard it. First, her classmates all liked Yang Mi's new movie as much as herself, which made her feel like she had finally found an organization; Second, the five classmates all came to watch "Shark Beach", so wouldn't the box office of "Shark Beach" increase by a few hundred yuan?
It's a drop in the bucket, but it's better to increase than to decrease, isn't it?
Entering the ticket hall, Yang Liu first went to the automatic ticket gate to get the ticket, and Gao Yue first accompanied Yang Liu to get the ticket, and then paid for one of the boys to line up the tickets for the five of them.
When discussing, the other four boys took the opportunity to whisper and tease him:
"I said, Gao Yue, you, we said that we wanted to watch "The Four Famous Catches" together, but when you met an old classmate, you changed your hexagram, are you worthy of us?"
""Shark Beach" is starring Yang Mi alone, Yang Mi can only be regarded as average, and her acting skills are still poor, what's so good about this?"
""Shark Beach" is a bad movie at first glance, watching a bad movie is equivalent to suffering, brothers are willing to suffer for you, such a big sacrifice, don't you say that you said the past later?!"
I saw Gao Yue grinning and said, "Why don't you four go to watch "The Four Famous Catches"?" I feel like "Shark Beach" must be good, anyway, I definitely want to watch "Shark Beach"! β
"Do you think Shark Beach is good? I think people are good-looking, right? β
"I don't even want to tear you down!"
"Don't worry, we won't bother you."
""Shark Beach" is good-looking, and a few buddies are going to watch "Shark Beach" today!"
It looks like the other four boys have made up their minds to make light bulbs.
