On April 3, 2014, "Fast and Furious 7" was released in China. The box office on the first day of the movie broke the domestic single-film premiere day box office record held by "Transformers 4" with a box office of about 393 million!

Then he sang all the way and set countless box office records in one fell swoop, becoming the first place in almost all domestic box office records.

Before that, the movies that got a box office of 1 billion in China were still the absolute bosses, but after the appearance of "Fast and Furious 7", even the movies with a box office of 1 billion seemed to be scum, because it only took 10 days to break through the box office of 1 billion!

Of course, this kind of perverted box office record is also being played out in other countries and regions. At present, "Furious 7" is a universal existence in the global film market!

Is this movie good? Of course, there is no problem in terms of quality, the standard Hollywood popcorn movie, handsome guys and beautiful actresses, and the exciting plot and special effects have always been very attractive.

But the quality of the film is one thing, and another reason that cannot be ignored is the death of one of the leading actors. This reason does add a lot of points.

Anyone who basically knows this movie knows such a story during this time. So the final ending is that the first movie in Huaguo with a box office of more than 2 billion was born!

Since then, the domestic box office record of movies has not known where the ceiling is; At least for now, everyone has high expectations for it!

Many people are aware of a problem, that is, maybe more than two billion is not the highest record at the domestic box office!

There are many more possibilities for its future!····· "Avengers 2" was basically released on May 1 in the United States, Liguo, Xiangjiang, Deguo, Eagle Country, Ruidian and other places.

However, it is more special in two countries, one is in China and the other is in Bangzi country.

The former will be released two weeks later, and the latter will be released a week earlier. Therefore, for Li Jingkun's "Tuner", it has a great home advantage in China, and it can harvest the box office two weeks in advance.

But in Xiangjiang and several other Southeast Asian regions, you have to go head-to-head with it. It is worth mentioning that "The Tuner" was also not released simultaneously in the country of sticks, and it was delayed for a week before it was released.

But of course, there are good aspects, that is, it will be staggered by two weeks with "Avengers 2", and there will be no need to fight hard at the most intense time.

But obviously, there is also a relatively bad news, that is, "Tuner" still has to compete with "Avengers 2" in the Xiangjiang area!

The Xiangjiang area is also very important at the moment! Don't forget, this movie is set in Xiangjiang, starring Brother Hua, and there are several veteran actors in Xiangjiang, and many of the behind-the-scenes staff of the movie are also from Xiangjiang, so it is not at all inconsistent to say that this is a Xiangjiang movie!

In Xiangjiang, they also belong to the home game and play away! Just to be honest, The Tuner's home field advantage may not be that strong.

Because the Omega blockbuster is also very lethal to the fans here - otherwise why would the Xiangjiang movie gradually decline after 2000?

In fact, it has a lot to do with the fact that they completely opened up the market and let other countries' films be released here very smoothly!

We ordinary people, ordinary workers, can have a budget of one or two movies a month, which is a lot, and then at this time there is an Omi blockbuster and a local movie on the market, which one will you choose?

The Omi blockbuster has a huge investment, is well-made, and has a lot of topics on the Internet, and I feel that watching this film is more fashionable and can catch up with the trend.

The other is Xiangjiang movies, Xiangjiang movies have been watched a lot since I was a child, and the investment is smaller than others, although the actors in it also like it, but it feels like you can watch it anytime in the future?

So in such a comparison, the film market must be slowly eroded! Then a vicious circle is formed, where no one watches local films, resulting in filmmakers not making money; If they can't make money, many people will change jobs, and many film companies will be more cautious about producing and investing in films; And the budget for film production is getting less and less, which leads to less and less competitiveness with others······ One ring after another, can Xiangjiang movies not decline?

The entertainment industry is sluggish, can more new blood join in? Without new blood to join in, the artists who are active in the Xiangjiang entertainment market will not go back and forth or those old faces?

······ But what can be done now? I can't do anything, I can only do my own thing, and I also work hard to do a good job of publicity here in Xiangjiang, hoping that Li Jingkun and Brother Hua won't lose too ugly in the local market!

And in addition to the Xiangjiang area, which can't relax publicity, other Southeast Asian regions also have to take care of it - they also have to arrange for the creators to go over to publicize one or two, anyway, it's not far, just a two- or three-hour flight.

"The Tuner" is going to have four or five premieres this time, and the first one is to go to Penguin Network to record an online premiere.

Lee Kyung-kun and the three main characters went. The first in-person premiere will still be held in Kyoto, and then the next day it will fly to Xiangjiang and hold a premiere there.

Then there is Pengcheng and Yangzhou, and finally there will be another magic capital. In fact, the next few times are equivalent to roadshows, but they will be more grand and grand than ordinary roadshows.

April 25, Universal Studios Kyoto, Kyoto premiere of "The Tuner". Except for one or two works such as "Night and Day" that have not had a premiere before, most of the other works are basically indispensable for premieres, and the scale will be bigger and bigger each time, and the stars will be more and more every time.

This time, of course, "The Tuner" will be no exception. At the premiere in Kyoto, in addition to some artists under Longqi Film and Television, Zhang Liangying, Zheng Chao, Bai Lily, Huang Qianyuan, Xin Zhilei and others also arrived at the scene.

Then the other elders also include Han Shanye, Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai, Chen Kexin and so on. Although there have been many movie premieres, this time is still a little different from before, that is, there is finally a time when the fame and influence of the leading actor are as safe as the director himself.

Although this premiere itself is star-studded, Brother Hua himself is still a little special, one is that he has debuted for decades, and the other is that he has debuted for so many years, and his reputation is too good and stable.

His existence is still quite special in the Chinese entertainment industry, so premieres and roadshows often become fan meetings or something.

is basically the majority of people, both men and women, young and old, know him and like him. Therefore, several leading actors were not arranged to walk the red carpet together, but let them appear individually and one after another; Even so, it has already caused a lot of applause and cheers.

After the red carpet show, everyone rested for a while, and then took their seats at the main venue one after another, and started the second link, that is, the press conference.

The premiere event consisted of three main parts, the red carpet show, the press conference, and finally the official screening.

The host invited this time is Ma Dong, a graduate of Beijing Film, who used to be the host of Yang Ma, and after leaving Yang Ma in 13 years, he joined iQiyi and became the chief content officer of the website.

However, many people know him now, probably because he is the producer and host of the variety show "Wonderful Story".

After the launch of "Wonderful Story" in 14 years, it became popular, and Ma Dong also began to move to another height of his life with this show.

"How does it feel to work with our Director Li?" The press conference began, Ma Dong took the stage to make an opening remarks, introduced the story synopsis and main creators of the film, etc., and then began to invite the director and several leading actors to the stage.

Brother Hua, as the male number one, as a senior and a big star, was naturally the first to be mentioned by the host, and the first question was to ask him this.

"I'm very happy, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to work with our young director once." Brother Hua said with a smile.

"Do you feel different from the directors you've worked with in the past?" Ma Dong continued to ask.

"One of the differences is that he's really young."

"Yes." Ma Dong nodded.

"I remember who said it before, Binbin, right?" Brother Hua glanced at the others, Li Jingkun, Li Binbin, Huang Jue, Wan Qian and others were all on the stage, but they didn't know what he wanted to say, so they just looked at it with a smile.

But Brother Hua had already confirmed it at this time, so he continued: "Yes, I remember knowing that Binbin said, it's amazing, our movie, this crew, is actually the youngest of our directors. The others are in their seventies and eighties. Everyone laughed, but Li Binbin and Wan Qian were a little angry, and the former said, "I'm not as old as I say I am." Brother Hua smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm exaggerating a little, but that's probably what it means." Ma Dong smiled and said, "Yes, I can understand what you mean." Hua Ge said: "In addition to being young, Kun Zai is different from other big directors in that he will prepare many things in advance and be more planned. ”

"Well, for example?"

"For example, the script is complete, the shooting plan is complete, and basically everything is prepared quite properly."

"Very professional."

"Yes, our director is very professional, and our crew is also very professional. But I'm not saying that the directors I worked with before didn't do so well, but many directors have different styles. Many big directors often dare to start the film without a script in the back. A lot of times it's just a story outline, and then when filming starts, there are only one or two scripts. When he heard this, Ma Dong couldn't help laughing again: "Yes, when I hear you say this, I can immediately think of a few big directors of this style." "For example, Wang Sunglasses, such as Jiang Wen, and even Zhou Xingxing are sometimes like this.

Needless to say, Wang Sunglasses is notoriously procrastinating in making movies, and he is often a character who dares to set up projects and start filming without a script or plan.

Jiang Wen also has this now

"Faults", such as the previous "One Step Away", when Uncle Ge took over the filming of this movie, he had no script at all, and he gathered them all together with a story outline.

Then on the first day of filming, they got their first script. Yes, just one script, and then get the second script when it's time to shoot the next day······ Or this is because they are creating all the time, and they may change the draft all the time, but in fact, for investors and actors, it is actually more panicked.

"But Brother Hua has debuted for so many years, are you still afraid that you will meet such a big director?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid, I'm also an actor, let me start filming when I'm not ready for anything, and I'll be bottomless." After Ma Dong chatted with Brother Hua for a few words, then came to Li Binbin.

Li Binbin naturally praised the director and other leading actors, but after saying a few words, he even said that he was also dissatisfied with Li Jingkun.

As soon as these words came out, everyone became curious, and they didn't know what she was going to say.

"It's that we've known each other for so long, we met a few times before the start-up, and then we stayed together for two months during the filming of the movie, why didn't we mention a lot of things to me, but then Brother Hua already knew!" She said several words, but still didn't say why.

But there were already many people in the audience who laughed, including Brother Hua, Wan Qian, Huang Jue and others - because they had only arrived at her

"Angry" is something, because this is not the first time she has brought up this matter. Ma Dong is a mature host, and the host is also very good at complimenting, so he smiled and said: "Then you didn't confess a lot of things you said, can you tell us what the specific things are?" ”

"What else could it be? Naturally, it was a matter of him falling in love with the immortals! As soon as Li Binbin's words came out, the scene naturally burst into laughter and cheers.

Li Jingkun on the stage was a little helpless, and Liu Tianxian, who was sitting in the audience, was also covering his mouth and laughing. In fact, if there is a couple at the scene, even if it is not the director, but Wan Qian or Li Binbin or something, they will definitely be ridiculed.

So they have long been mentally prepared, not to mention that they are still so popular; If it's not mentioned, it's not normal if it's not used as a joke.

Ma Dong smiled and said, "So Brother Hua already knew about this?" Brother Hua smiled and nodded: "Yes, and probably knew about it earlier than most people." Ma Dong said, "Oh? Can you tell us more about when? You know they haven't revealed when they started together, so maybe you can help with a little clue. After these words were spoken, the audience cheered again, and everyone looked at the scene with a smile.

Brother Hua said: "I don't know when they were together, I know that the two of them came to Xiangjiang to find me together." At first, I thought that our director came to me with the heroine. Ma Dong showed a slightly shocked expression: "You mean, when Jingkun invited you to participate in this movie, did you bring your family with you?" ”

"Hahaha, yes, but at first I didn't know they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and they didn't pick it out themselves, so I thought she was one of the leading actors."

"Hahaha!" When talking about this kind of thing, the scene is more joyful, and the audience and the media also like to watch this kind of plot and interaction, so they all have a good chat.

Several people teased them several times, and Li Binbin too

"Criticize" a few words, saying that they are all so familiar with her, and they are so tightly guarded against her. Later, Ma Dong also took the opportunity to ask Wan Qian and Huang Juezhi if they didn't know about it, and of course they all said they didn't know.

And the most embarrassing thing should be Wan Qian, because she was still preparing to give it to the director at that time

"Meat compensation" once, only to find out that the other party has a girlfriend soon after····· Of course, if there really is any unspoken rule, it seems that having a girlfriend is not an obstacle······ After chatting a few words of gossip, they returned to the theme of the movie again, Wan Qian and Huang Jue also said a few words of feelings and thanks during the filming, and finally it was the turn of director Li Jingkun.

"Film is a high-risk industry, and it is not so easy to form and complete every work. Of course, the completion of "The Tuner" is not as hard as "Chinatown", after all, it will not be as difficult to get production funding as it used to be. However, there will still be many problems in the process of its completion, such as the doubts of fans of the short film of the same name, such as the control of the size of the movie, such as the turmoil with another movie, and so on. And when the actor was first selected, it was not as smooth as expected. Not to mention the rest, the choice of the hero and heroine is a big challenge. The actor needs to play a blind man, which is not only as simple as having acting skills, but also needs to do a lot of preparation work in the early stage; Because you need to know how a blind person lives, how he walks, how he eats, how he takes care of himself, etc. Then I saw Brother Hua starring in "Blind Detective", and I was quickly conquered by the blind policeman he played in it, thinking that he had interpreted what a real blind person is like very well. So the first starring actor I looked for was Brother Hua!

Li Jingkun said a lot and was very serious, and everyone began to be emotionally involved by him. As Liu Tianxian said when he saw him recording "Filming Diary" before, many times he can basically be the host. When he finished saying this, everyone couldn't help but applaud, and Brother Hua also smiled and folded his hands to express his gratitude. The host Ma Dong also nodded emotionally and said, "I still take the immortals with me." ”

"Poof!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing, they didn't expect Ma Dong to suddenly come to such a sentence.

It's a stroke of genius, because everyone thinks of what they just chatted with, and it just echoes back and forth.

Liu Tianxian sat in the audience and blushed while laughing - because everyone was looking at her again.

Ma Dong hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I blurted out subconsciously, Jingkun, you continue!" ”

"Okay, thank you Brother Ma Dong for reminding me that I did bring my family with me." Li Jingkun didn't particularly care, and even teased himself, so everyone laughed again, and some people cheered.

He and Liu Tianxian also looked at each other with a smile, and then the conversation continued: "The female number one in this play is a big villain, I believe that many people who have watched the short film of the same name also know what her character is like: ruthless, cold-blooded, or a female character like Pan Jinlian." So at the beginning, I did find a few actresses and rejected them - not because I was afraid of acting badly, but because I was afraid of acting too well and then being scolded! Fortunately, in the end, Sister Binbin helped me, and she was also fascinated by this character. There's nothing wrong with being a villain, but it's a rare and very challenging role for an actor! Of course, she also had hesitations and worries, but in the end, it was the actor's sense of conviction and respect for the profession that made her take on the role! Now that the finished product is out, I can only say that she acted really well and well! We have also had two internal preview screenings before, and basically everyone was conquered by the character played by Sister Binbin! So I hope that the audience in the future can also return to the role itself, instead of going to the actor itself because she played such a role. Li Jingkun also admires Li Binbin's performance, after all, this movie is also his own work, after all, it is going to be released now, and it must be a praise for everyone.

At any time, he also thanked Wan Qian, Huang Jue and others, as well as other creators and staff for their support and contributions.

Then the press conference continued, they also played some shooting highlights and the like, filling in the content and process, and finally Ma Dong continued to speak and summarize on stage, and then finally it was time for the official screening.

Li Jingkun sat in the front row with Brother Hua, Li Binbin, Wan Qian and others. Liu Tianxian didn't sit with him this time, after all, she was not an actor in this movie; And Liu's mother didn't come, so this time she sat with her good friend Zhang Liangying.

There are also artists from Longqi Film and Television such as Gu Xiaona, Bu Guanjin, Li Xian and Bai Jingting. Yu Zheng didn't come today, although "Hong Kong" has been produced, there is still a lot of work to follow up, and he has been busy recently.

Maybe he will attend that premiere in the magic capital in a few days. Ning Hao sat with Zhang Yibai, Chen Kexin and others.

"Extreme Occupation" started relatively late, but the current progress is similar to "Hong Kong". It's not that Ning Hao's speed is faster, but that this time Yu Zheng is relatively slow.

But it's also normal, the pressure that Yu Zheng is facing at the moment is much greater than Ning Hao's.

"Jingkun has grown up too fast." Looking at Li Jingkun on the stage, Zhang Yibai couldn't help but say.

"Yes, maybe it's also the position that has brought him greatness - not in terms of directing ability, but in other aspects, he is also growing. Leadership, speaking and management are also growing. "Ning Hao, Yu Zheng and others are now one of Li Jingkun's most important partners, and they often meet, so they can naturally see his changes.

"It's a great young man, I've watched all his works, and I'm really improving every time - maybe it's the current booming market in the mainland that can give birth to such a powerful young filmmaker!" Chen Kexin also sighed a little, one is lamenting the prosperous domestic film market, and the other is lamenting the domestic film and television talents that have sprung up after the rain - once they were very brilliant in Xiangjiang!

In the past, the Xiangjiang Film Market was also full of stars and talents, and Xiangjiang films have influenced people in many countries and regions!

But at present, he is just sighing, because in recent years, his focus has also been in China, and now he is also a beneficiary of the market, so there is nothing to be sad about.

Soon, with the departure of the host Ma Dong, "The Tuner" finally reached its screening time.

Everyone sat down and regained their spirits.
