Chapter 334: Good Things Are Grinding
In the next filming of "Latent", Jiang Bai raised this question during the discussion, and felt that if there were too many kiss scenes, would it affect the character design.
And these kiss scenes are not with the same person, plus Dong Hyun has a total of three actors who have kiss scenes with Yu Zecheng.
But Jiang Wei can discuss other plots, but Jiang Wei didn't want to delete the kiss scene at all and said: "Every kiss scene is promoting the development of the plot and can't be deleted." ”
After Jiang Bai heard this, he had no choice but to give up.
It's just that Dong Hyun is filming a kiss scene with Jiang Bai here, and there is no problem at all, but he has to be a little tighter.
And another actor, Shen Aojun, communicated for a long time before filming with Jiang Bai in order to avoid problems due to insufficient emotions or actions, and as a result, one passed when filming.
"Why is this over? Director, otherwise, I'll give you a hundred yuan, and you can let me and Jiang Bai shoot two kiss scenes. ”
Jiang Wei naturally couldn't agree to this request.
But the other party was also joking.
Jiang Bai also took the time to look at Dong Hyun's side, Dong Hyun didn't have any look on his face, but Jiang Bai felt that he had to comfort and comfort the other party when he turned around.
As for Zhu Jie's side.
Zhu Jie hadn't filmed much kiss scenes before, so she was a little nervous, although they had communicated for a while before, but some nervousness could not be solved by communication.
However, standing in front of the camera, Jiang Bai still filmed in his own way, and let the other party into the play as much as possible.
It's just that he patted and patted, and suddenly raised his hand to touch his head, this action was newly added by himself, not in the script, and it belonged to his whim, anyway, this TV series is like this, everyone is always free to play here.
But Zhu Jie herself is a little timid, plus she is still young, and she herself has begun to think nervously, so as soon as Jiang Bai raised her hand like this, she instantly thought of the ruthless roles that Jiang Bai had played before.
subconsciously thought that Jiang Bai was going to beat himself, and then he kissed him directly.
Jiang Bai was also stupid now.
Is that how pro it is?
It seems that it wasn't so close when we communicated before, right?
But Jiang Wei felt that Zhu Jie's presentation was very good, and he immediately made a decision, and it was another pass.
Later, when Zhu Jie and Jiang Bai talked about it, they knew that it was a misunderstanding.
The filming period of "Latent" was two months, and at the beginning, when they knew that there was only one outline script, no one thought that the play could be completed within the stipulated deadline.
But as they found their senses, they began to regain their confidence.
……
"Director, I want to take a few days off, I have a movie that is about to be released, and I have to go over to help promote it."
"It's okay, go ahead, but what kind of movie is it, I don't seem to have heard much about you making your own movies this year."
"I filmed it two years ago, but it hasn't been reviewed at that time, so I have been putting it away, and this year I suddenly passed the review, and I plan to release it during the Spring Festival, so I want to promote it well."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll arrange for someone else to shoot first."
Regarding Jiang Bai's departure, Jiang Wei feels that it doesn't matter, anyway, this drama is invested by Jiang Bai, if the progress is delayed because of Jiang Bai's departure, and he ends up spending more money, it can't be blamed on him.
In other words, employees may be restricted in the company, but as long as the boss has something, it doesn't mean that he will leave?
In terms of publicity for "No Man's Land", Jiang Bai and Zhao Zhe also designed it well at that time.
In addition to some big city theaters, they also plan to go to some small theaters in the northwest to promote it.
Although the conditions of these small theaters are relatively simple, after all, the movie is called "No Man's Land", and the overall style is also a strong northwest and frontier style.
Jiang Bai is not aiming at how many people can come here to engage in propaganda, and when the time comes, they will leave some places for local connections, and all the rest will be found by reporters.
The main purpose of roadshows in these places is to promote them online.
And this time their itinerary is also very full, going to two places a day.
Arrive in a city in the morning, then immediately go to the cinema to start the screening, then walk through the process of talking and answering questions for about an hour, set aside 10 minutes to take pictures, and then head to the airport to go to the next city.
In the big cities, Jiang Bai has been to Yanjing, Modu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan and Shenyang, and the smaller Jiang Bai has not even gone to the city, so he picks the counties with movie theaters in Gansu and Qinghai.
Make an appointment with the reporter in advance and let them arrive at the designated place, all the travel expenses, accommodation expenses and even food expenses are all covered by Jiang Bai's side.
And these regions also welcome Jiang Bai to come over, and the director of the Bureau of Culture and Tourism will personally meet and participate in the event, so they will also reserve time for each other to speak during the conversation session after the film screening.
Jiang Bai walked for a total of ten days.
In the end, they still put the premiere in Yanjing.
At the same time, the team has also completed this time no man's land challenge.
The video has been made for more than a dozen episodes, with a total of more than 1 billion views.
Those outdoor advertisements on the desert Gobi Desert have also successfully gone out of the circle.
Many directors even asked Jiang Bai which advertising company they were looking for to work with, and they could come up with such a genius solution.
In the end, when they learned that Jiang Bai came up with these things by himself, they suggested that Jiang Bai should open an advertising company in the future, even if he has this brain, he is a leader in the advertising industry.
And Jiang Bai wrote down this suggestion.
In January, "No Man's Land" was officially released.
Because of the previous huge publicity, coupled with the fact that this film is a movie made by Ning Hao after three years of sharpening his sword, and when this movie was filmed, it did not pass the review because of the content problems in it, so it greatly aroused the curiosity of the audience.
In addition, the cinema chain is now very optimistic about Jiang Bai's investment, Ning Hao's shooting, and Huang Bo and Xu Zheng's films, and the national film scheduling rate of "No Man's Land" in all theaters on the first day reached 45%, with a total of more than 35,000 screenings.
Although the box office results have not yet come out on the first day, and some so-called senior industry insiders also said that this kind of film took three years to be released, which has greatly consumed the enthusiasm of the audience, even if it has gone through such a fierce publicity office in the early stage, after all, the film could not pass the review in the first three years.
Even if it can be released now, a lot of wonderful scenes must have been deleted, which will inevitably cause the plot to be fragmented, and in some places the preface does not match the afterword, the audience is looking at these, if the people in front of them watch it, they feel different from what they expected, and they will definitely give bad reviews one after another, which will affect the follow-up box office results.
Therefore, they estimate that this movie will be the most popular movie invested by Jiang Bai, and it would be good to be able to recover it, even if it is good, this movie will be able to get 80 million to 100 million at most with the blessing of the early publicity and the blessing of Ning Hao and many comedians.
And there is one main reason, it's the Spring Festival, everyone wants to watch some happy ones, but who are you going to make such a bitter and hateful movie for?
There are rules for Chinese New Year cards.
But in the afternoon of the next day, after the box office statistics on the first day came out, people were not calm.
"No Man's Land" grossed 52 million on the first day, greatly exceeding everyone's expectations.
That set of rules for Chinese New Year movies doesn't seem to apply so much to "No Man's Land".
And this result also surprised Jiang Bai and them, because they felt that it was normal for the box office of this movie to be around 40 million on the first day.
But in the end, it won 52 million.
"Awesome! Ning Hao is awesome! ”
"Such a movie can get such a high score when it is released in the Lunar New Year, it has broken Ning Hao's previous records, and sure enough, Ning Hao is Ning Hao, and it is a boutique as soon as it is released!"
Some people began to turn around and boast, not feeling that they had hit the film before.
The movie released at the same time as "No Man's Land" is Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet", which only got more than 13 million box office on the first day, "Baby Plan" also got 10 million on the first day, and "Ink Attack" only got 5 million.
Among the imported films, "The Da Vinci Code" and "King Kong" both got about 18 million, and "Mission Impossible" and "Superman Returns" are 500~8 million.
As for those literary films, not to mention, it is considered high to get a few million on the first day.
And compared with those movies with mixed reputations, "No Man's Land" has a fairly high rating.
"I don't know what the expression on Feng Xiaogang's face is now, he carefully produced a "Night Banquet" that wants to benchmark "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" and hit the Oscars, and the income is only more than 10 million, and it is estimated that it will be more than 100 million by the end of the release."
Zhao Zhe said with a smile.
And Jiang Wen also quipped on the side: "Huayi has made a lot of money this time, it seems that Feng Xiaogang is also going to lose his money, although the previous "Assembly Number" won more than 200 million box office, but compared to the investment cost, it is still a loss, and now it has lost another "Night Banquet", if Feng Xiaogang loses again next time, it is estimated that Huayi will also start to consider cultivating other directors." ”
Jiang Wen was still a little gloating, after all, he didn't like Feng Xiaogang too much.
Of course, for Huayi, Jiang Wen still has a lot of feelings.
Time passed day by day, and the box office of "No Man's Land" had already exceeded 180 million for a week after its release.
Not only Jiang Bai was happy, but the people on the public side were also laughing, and they cooperated with Jiang Bai to do the challenge of crossing no man's land before, on the one hand, to invest in Jiang Bai, and on the other hand, to advertise their brand.
Even a VAM agreement was signed at that time.
And now it seems that this gambling agreement can definitely be completed, although they can't get compensation from Jiang Bai's side, but the higher the box office of the movie, the higher their brand exposure.
Especially when Jiang Bai Company produces movies, it rarely looks for sponsors outside, which also makes the logo of the public particularly conspicuous.
By the time "No Man's Land" was released for half a month, the box office came to 250 million, and Jiang Bai had won the bet on it.
At the same time, he can completely rest assured that the company can get this result without Jiang Bai in "No Man's Land", which means that in the future, Ning Hao will make movies by himself or Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, and they will be able to support the box office if they star in the movie again.
However, some time ago, Yi Zhengxin's side also started filming.
Jiang Bai didn't ask about the whole process of filming, and Yi Zhengxin didn't ask for the company's help except for making a plan for Zhao Zhe before the filming started.
Although the expression on Zhao Zhe's face after reading the plan book was indescribable, he had never seen this kind of drama, it was simply ......
It's just ......
In the more than ten years he has been in the industry, he has seen the poorest, simplest, most absurd and most incomprehensible drama!
But thinking about it, one million can probably only be filmed like this, anyway, Jiang Bai is willing to pay this money.
Then Yi Zhengxin took the 1 million, took the young people he recruited at the beginning, and started filming directly.
Since the newly established skit department is a studio, they have to solve everything by themselves, whether it is post-production or director, and everyone is an actor.
Everyone ate and lived together, although the conditions were more difficult, but they were also very happy.
However, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, the sequel "Thai Embarrassment", which the company and Xu Zheng co-filmed, has also begun to be released.
"Thai Embarrassment" also did a good job in the early stage of publicity, coupled with the word-of-mouth and audience popularity accumulated by the previous "People in Embarrassment".
The box office on the first day was 39 million!
This number alone is powerful enough, but on the third day, the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" exploded directly!
won 93 million in just one day, and "No Man's Land" looks bleak in front of this number.
However, Ning Hao was not too depressed, anyway, the box office of this movie has greatly exceeded his expectations so far.
The most depressed is Feng Xiaogang.
"What are you doing? Fake, right? The box office of "Night Banquet" was only more than 60 million after half a month of release, but "Thai Embarrassment" now has 93 million a day? ”
He couldn't figure it out at all, his well-made movie with an investment of hundreds of millions only got such a small box office, on the other hand, "Thai Embarrassment" and "No Man's Land" invested a total of tens of millions, and one was more fierce than the other!
Jiang Bai also invested a lot of money in "Thai Embarrassment", and he even invested more than Xu Zheng.
Before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Bai held an annual meeting.
In addition to the people from his own company, Jiang Bai also invited some friends in the circle, and a table of dishes was made according to the standard of 20,000 yuan.
Everyone who ate it had their mouths full of oil.
In addition, Jiang Bai also gave bonuses to everyone, ranging from 10,000 to millions.
Ning Hao is a big hero of the company this year, and a "No Man's Land" directly made a lot of money, so he once again won the company's highest bonus and pocketed the million.
Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang got 800,000 yuan each, and they also made a lot of works this year, Huang Bo has "No Man's Land" and "Thai Embarrassment", and Wang Baoqiang is "No Man's Land", "Thai Embarrassment" and a "Soldier Assault".
The rest are 500,000, 300,000, 200,000 and tens of thousands.
Everyone was happy after getting the bonus.
This year is destined to be extraordinary.
After the New Year, "No Man's Land" ended first, and finally won 420 million box office directly.
Originally, according to this result, "No Man's Land" was already this year's box office champion, but "Thai Embarrassment" was even more exaggerated.
At present, there is still half a month left in the theater, but the box office has reached 1.1 billion.
You must know that "Jianghu" only won more than 600 million box office in China, and if you look down according to the trend of "Thai Embarrassment", it is estimated that it will get more than 1.2 billion in the end.
This is no less than a major earthquake in the domestic film industry. (End of chapter)
