Chapter 214: Famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan first
In fact, in the movie, the hero and heroine broke up inexplicably, and everyone felt that the two would definitely be together, but they were separated later, but fortunately, the movie was released in 2010, if it was ten or eight years later, Zhou Muyan, as the author and director, would have to be scolded for being bloody.
It's now, some boys in the movie theater have begun to be restless, to say that they can understand the breakup, but this reason is a bit inexplicable, older boys may be understandable, the movie just uses a simple and understandable thing, in fact, in the first love in life, it will always end with an inexplicable thing, that is, this matter is very naïve in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the parties, it is particularly important, or in the eyes of themselves at the time, it is very important, and so on. Only then did everyone realize how naïve they were at that time.
When the movie is put here, the attendance rate of one-third of the movie theater has no longer the mentality of watching casually, and they all substituted it and began to watch the movie seriously, if the first half of the movie is a narrative, the second half is just the end, since that quarrel, the male protagonist did not take the initiative to find the female protagonist, and the female protagonist did not take the initiative to contact the male protagonist.
The two were separated for some reason.
Until an earthquake two years later, the first thing the male owner ran out of the dormitory was to call the female owner.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm good."
At this time, another boy had already appeared next to the heroine.
Life is not after all, falling out of love may be uncomfortable, but life will still go on, in this fast-paced world, the story of a lifetime and a couple can be said to be exhausted, whether it is a boy or a girl, they may talk about a three, four love, and even some girls will talk about a dozen love and be complacent.
That night, the male and female protagonists talked a lot.
The male protagonist looked at the moon in the sky and said, if he wasn't so naïve at the time, maybe we were already together, right?
The heroine also raised her head to look at the moon in the sky at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, if you weren't so naïve at the time, maybe we were already together." ”
In the days that followed, time was like an arrow, and the sun and the moon were like a shuttle.
For these two people not to be together, the audience in the cinema is expecting.
"They should be together later, right?"
"I feel like we should be together, don't movies end with a happy reunion?"
"Yes, the first shot at the beginning is the male protagonist wearing a suit, and then the classmates came over and said, don't let the bride wait, they must be married later!"
"Mm-hmm, but it's been more than an hour now, and the movie isn't going to end."
"Is this movie two hours long? And a second part? ”
As for whether the male and female protagonists are together, everyone is full of doubts, of course, most people think that the two are together, and a hint has been given at the beginning.
At this time, the movie happened to be played in that scene, and the male protagonist was working on the computer over there, and the phone rang.
The male protagonist connected: "Hey? ”
"It's coming!"
"Are the two back together?"
The audience was filled with joy.
"Old classmate, I'm getting married."
“???”
The camera returns to the first scene of the beginning of the movie, the male protagonist puts on a suit, and the classmates all pour in: "I'm waiting for you now!" ”
"Yes! Your favorite person gets married, and you're not going to hurry up! ”
As soon as the picture turned, I had arrived at the hotel where the wedding banquet was held.
"Here comes the bride!"
Tang Wan, who was wearing a wedding dress, was indeed beautiful and spotless, especially with a smile on her face, at this time, Tang Wan happily hugged Zhou Muyan's arm and lay in Zhou Muyan's arms.
"Bride, can we kiss the bride!?"
"Yes! But how you want to kiss the bride must first kiss me. ”
"How can this be!"
"yes, we're the bride's best friend, why are you so stingy!"
As he was talking, the male protagonist played by Zhou Muyan pounced violently, at this time the music sounded, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was sung by singer Hu Xia in the previous life, and this life became a song written by Zhou Muyan himself, with light and shadow on the screen.
In the plot of the story, the male protagonist kissed the groom of the female protagonist, but in the camera, Zhou Muyan, who was wearing a suit, and Tang Wan, who was wearing a white wedding dress, kissed together.
Of course, this is all in the imagination, but it is shown through the lens.
Zhou Muyan and Tang Wan are now a real couple, even if it is normal to show affection on the screen, Zhou Muyan just held Tang Wan's little face, while Tang Wan closed her eyes, raised her little head slightly, and kissed Zhou Muyan so selflessly.
At that time, when filming this scene, the people in the crew were still joking over there that after a movie was filmed, Tang Wan played the best here, and this is exactly the case.
The two kissed while the scene was unpredictable, it was the end of the encounter in high school, the picture flashed in turn, the two kissed for almost two minutes, after the lips parted, the camera cut out again, it was the picture of the male and female protagonist's groom lip splitting.
The male protagonist got up, and the groom looked like he was being insulted, and before he could react, he had been pressed by other people.
Zhou Muyan and Tang Wan looked at each other.
Tang Wan, who was dressed in a wedding dress, was so good-looking, she smiled helplessly, and said, "You are still so naïve." ”
"I'm naïve." Zhou Muyan replied with a smile.
At this time, the familiar music played again.
The camera zooms in on that small, filthy apartment.
On the balcony, a white shirt with a school uniform that has been stamped by a pen.
The prelude of the music is so beautiful that people don't even notice that the movie has ended at this time, until the letter subtitles of the curtain call appear, but Zhou Muyan's clear voice sounded: Back to the original starting point, remember your green face.
When the lights of the movie theater were turned on, all the audience had a feeling of unfinished, and Zhou Muyan heard many people next to him say: "Otherwise, let's watch it again, right?" ”
"Okay, I'd like to see it again, too."
Xiangjiang's cinema movies are highly competitive, and some veteran actors, Zhou Muyan can't compete at all, but their audiences are different, and their publicity is not the same.
It's like saying that two days ago, Zhou Muyan's posters had already hit all over the bus stops, but those who specialized in movies were not in a hurry at all, in their opinion, Zhou Muyan didn't know where the little doll came over, it was really unbelievable, and even the film was scheduled, and the theater only gave Zhou Muyan two shows, that is, one today, one tomorrow, if the movie attendance rate is less than 20%, then the second one is gone.
Luckily, the attendance rate for the first game was 31 percent.
After the audience who hadn't seen enough of it went out, they rushed to the counter: "Give me tickets for another movie!" ”
"Ah, this movie is not scheduled today,"
"How could it not be? Isn't it only seven o'clock!? ”
"yes, your theater is like this, why don't you just put it on today!?"
"Please, I don't have the resources to open a movie theater, just go home and farm!"
"I'm sorry, it's really not, I'll help you take a look, there will be another one at five o'clock tomorrow."
"Junk cinema, I won't be here in the future!"
Because the theater chain is different, their film schedule is also different, this movie theater is gone, but another movie theater is still there, in order to watch a movie, many people even left in a hurry, thinking about going to another movie theater, but Zhou Muyan's attendance rate on the first day was unsatisfactory, basically 30 percent, 40 percent for the better, and single-digit attendance for the worse.
The single-digit ones are basically small movie theaters, and they have decided to withdraw those years, and what they don't know is that this night, the Internet has begun to talk about the topic of "Those Years" frantically, not only for resources, but also for countless people over there to recommend it, there are young people in their twenties, who will recall their youth after watching this film, and push the movie to their friends, and some people will think about her before after watching the movie, out of the movie theater, hesitated, and finally called her who had not seen her for many years: "Hey? You okay? ”
"Ah, I, I want to treat you to a movie."
And some high school and junior high school students have a word-of-mouth recommendation: "Eh! Have you watched the movie "Those Years", the male protagonist is super handsome! ”
"The heroine's name is Tang Wan, and she is super beautiful! Has she ever made any other movies, she will be my goddess in the future! ”
"What movie can compare to the king of guns?"
"Please, it's not a type at all! I advise you to take a look, I'm really crying to death in the back, there will be a film schedule tomorrow, and you may not be able to buy tickets if you go late! ”
When Zhou Muyan and they came out of the theater, Tang Wan heard the conductor say that there were only two movies scheduled, and she was a little discouraged, but Zhou Muyan said that this is the rule of the theater, and when the movie is popular, the number of screenings will increase.
"But there are only two of them, how can they see the effect?" Tang Wan pouted.
"It may be a little difficult for others, but it is just right for me," Zhou Muyan smiled and put the cap on Tang Wan's head, from now on, Tang Wan was not an ordinary girl.
But Tang Wan puffed out her mouth.
The box office is still arguing, and many people are here to buy movie tickets for other movies, but when I heard a few people's discussions, I was curious, what kind of movie is this, is it good?
The next day's show was at 5 p.m., and some students and young people came to the cinema at 2 p.m. and asked, "Do you have a ticket for "Those Years"?" ”
"Sorry, today's session is at 5 p.m."
"Do you still have tickets?"
"Yes, bring me two."
The ticket seller has not collected the money on this side, and two more students dressed in high school clothes came on the other side: "Do you have movie tickets from those years?" ”
"Anything else?"
From two o'clock onwards, people kept coming in and asking for movie tickets from those years.
At three o'clock, the movie tickets for the only show were sold out, and some high school students who couldn't buy movie tickets were a little restless, especially on the Treasure Island, the movie "Those Years", the popularity of the Treasure Island was better than that of Xiangjiang, whether it was a boy or a girl, they all liked the tone in the movie.
Because in the movie, Zhou Muyan and the school uniforms they wore were changed through the treasure island, which is very similar, and Zhou Muyan is so handsome, attracting a lot of girls, and the boys also found that this is a cool drama that they have never seen before, whether it is a bad show in the early stage and then inspirational to be admitted to college, or to write in the back and become a writer with a good income, and then the students have their own careers, and the students who are usually the least favored go to study abroad, And the most handsome boy in high school turned out to be a second-hand car salesman, which is super substitutional!
"What do you movie theaters do! There are so many people buying tickets here, why are there no more? One is not enough to watch! Don't hurry up and add more shows! ”
"Extra times!"
"Extra times!"
Some seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people surrounded the movie theater and rallied there to protest, at this time, in fact, the movie itself is no longer important, these students just want to make trouble.
The manager was sweating profusely and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, I'll go and ask our boss for advice." ”
After that, I made a phone call to the owner of the movie theater and said, "Boss, the guests are making a fuss!" ”
"What's the reason for the commotion?"
"It's the movie we introduced"
"Which one? Which one? How? Is there any bad plot in it, if that's the case, quickly withdraw the movie, don't affect the reputation of our cinema. ”
"It's not. Tickets for that movie sold out... Customers are clamoring for extra shows"
"What?" The boss was stunned, obviously not expecting it.
Soon, the manager came out and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, I have already communicated with the boss, and I will temporarily add a five-and-a-half session!" If you want to see it, please buy a ticket here! ”
"Oh~" the young people cheered.
At this time, other people who came to the cinema to watch the movie saw this scene and wondered in their hearts, what movie is so popular? So he stepped forward and asked, "Do you still have tickets?" ”
For three days in a row, the number of screenings of "Those Years" was added again and again, from the original two screenings to five screenings a day, and even some theaters have withdrawn the original films to add screenings to those years.
The attendance rate of each show was above 70 percent, and as the popularity of the movie grew, more and more people knew about the movie, and even some media began to promote the movie.
"The biggest dark horse, a youth movie made at a small cost, has a box office of more than 10 million Taiwan dollars! 》
Shocked! The best box office of this month turned out to be the completely amateur shooting "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!
"This month's single search is the most "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!
"Some witnesses found that today's hot movie heroes and heroines Zhou Muyan and Tang Wan appeared hand in hand in Sham Shui Po"
The paparazzi in Xiangjiang are still very powerful, Zhou Muyan took Tang Wan and they didn't talk to anyone about going to Xiangjiang, but with the popularity of the movie, it was soon exposed, and Zhou Muyan had no choice but to take Tang Wan to several interviews.
"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was released in early June, and as of mid-July, the total box office in the Baodao area was 410 million Taiwan dollars, equivalent to 85.78 million yuan.
This may not be a big deal in the mainland, but in the Treasure Island area, the box office of this film in those years was second only to the previous two "Haijiao No. 7" and "Saidek Balai", and ranked third at the box office in the entire Treasure Island Chinese films.
The box office of Xiangjiang is 6128 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 54.94 million yuan, which is second only to the Yangtze River No. 7 filmed by Xing Ye among the movies released in Xiangjiang in the year.
This movie brought Zhou Muyan a total of 140 million in income, excluding the theater dividends and publicity, Zhou Muyan can get 45%, which means that Zhou Muyan's net income is 98 million.
This is not particularly prominent in the history of the movie box office in 2010, and there are many people who have a higher box office than Zhou Muyan, but it only took two million shooting costs, and there is no traffic artist or old drama bone in the whole movie, Zhou Muyan is definitely the only one.
And what's even more powerful is that at this time in 2010, I have heard that many celebrities from Xiangjiang and Baodao went to the mainland to make money, but if you want to say that a mainlander came to Xiangjiang and Baodao to make money, Zhou Muyan is definitely the first.
At this time, Zhou Muyan's reputation is definitely unique.
The entertainment industry in the mainland has a lag behind Hong Kong and Taiwan, but at most it is only two weeks behind, and two weeks later, Zhou Muyan has become popular in the film and television circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and those mainland entertainment newspapers are looking forward to the wind.
"Shocked! The movie that is popular all over Hong Kong and Taiwan turned out to be shot by freshmen at Jinling University! ”
"He really did it! "Those Years" was successfully released in Hong Kong and Taiwan! ”
Zhou Muyan ignored the significance of the mainland entertainment industry to the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles in this era, because this movie was a perfect success in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the movie that was originally thought to be released in September or even October had been reviewed at the end of July.
At the beginning of August, a group of theater owners had already taken the initiative to contact Zhou Muyan to buy the exclusive screening rights of those years.
Originally, with these theater dividends, Zhou Muyan could only get 40%, and the highest was 45%, but because Zhou Muyan was famous at this time, the mainland's film dividends may be about 50%.
