On Monday, December 26th, the box office of [Ferryman] fell sharply unexpectedly, affected by the bad reputation of the movie, the single-day box office on weekdays was directly cut to the ankle, from 85.53 million on Sunday to more than 20 million.

The single-day box office is not much different from [The Great Wall] in the third week of release, and [Railway Flying Tiger" won the national box office championship on the day with a box office of 32.64 million with a slightly better reputation than the other two movies.

In the afternoon of the same day, the crew of [Love Saint] held the premiere press conference of the film in Beijing.

The director Wen Muye, the producer and special actor Gu Wei, starring Xiao Zhen, Xiao Shenyang, Yan Ni, Qiao Shan, Clara and others attended the press conference of the film.

There were a lot of news media from all walks of life that day, although the production cost of [Love Saint] is not high, and the fame of the actors is not too big, but there is a big star like Gu Wei who is working hard to promote, and the movie has received a lot of attention, and it is the most optimistic among the movies that will be released on the 30th.

On the stage, Gu Wei led the cast and crew of the [Love Saint] crew to line up, he stood in the middle, director Wen Mu also stood on the left hand side, the leading actor Xiao Yan stood on the right hand side, and the other actors were on both sides.

It's not that Gu Wei wants to steal the limelight from Wen Muye and Xiao Yan, in addition to his special appearance, he is also the producer of the movie, of course, this producer is actually a nominal name, just like the bosses of major film and television companies, Wang Zhongjun and Yu Dong, almost all of them will name the films under the name of their own companies.

And a large part of the current publicity and distribution of the movie relies on Gu Wei's fame to attract audiences, and the media is also paying more attention to him.

Wen Mu is still a rookie director, and [Love Saint] is his first film directed independently.

Although the starring actors of the movie, Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Shenyang, Qiao Shan and others were once popular, they are not first-line stars in the entertainment industry now, and their appeal is limited.

Only Gu Wei is now the hottest and most topical star, and even the super blockbuster [Great Wall] makes a fuss about him when it is promoted, and the crew of [Love Saint] will certainly not waste the boss's fame.

treats his company's films, Gu Wei will not be as perfunctory as when he promoted [The Great Wall], and he took out a lot of care.

"Director Wen Muye is a very talented director, and he is also my senior brother in Beiying.

Although this is the first time to cooperate with a director, and my main identity is also a producer rather than an actor, during the whole filming process, I always remember filming [Embroidered Spring Knife] with Senior Brother Lu Yang when I first debuted.

Although the two people have different shooting techniques, the talent and creative desire that seem to overflow are really very similar.

The movie has been screened for a while so far, and we have received a lot of praise from the audience.

I have confidence in the film, and even more so in the director, and I believe that his work will not disappoint the audience."

"I am an old friend with Xiao Zhen, and this is the third cooperation with him.

In fact, many people asked me at the beginning, saying that you looked for Xiao Yan when filming [Detective Chinatown 1], why did you still ask him to play a different role from the first part in the second part, aren't you afraid of the audience?

Today, I will tell you, because Xiao Zhen is an extremely good actor, when I wrote the second script, that role didn't think about others at all, I thought he was the most suitable!

Everyone knows that Xiao Zhen made his debut as a singer, but from the time I came into contact with him to shoot the first movie, I have the impression that he is a very talented actor.

"Kun Tai" in [Tang Detective 1], "Song Yi" in [Tang Detective 2], and now "Xiao Han" in this [Love Saint], everyone sees three completely different Xiao Yan, but each one is 100% integrated into the role."

At the press conference, Gu Wei opened the show first, holding the microphone to praise Wen Muye and Xiao Yan.

There were no fixed words for this kind of press conference, there was no rehearsal, and the two people standing next to them were a little embarrassed by Gu Wei.

After he finished speaking, the media asked some more questions, and the topic slowly led to others.

Everyone talked about some interesting things that happened during the filming of the movie, and even the Korean beauty Clara stumbled to say hello to everyone in Chinese.

Wen Mu also broke the news that when [Love Saint] was casting at the beginning, Gu Wei originally didn't plan to play any role, but he felt that the other party's image was just right for "Wang Kun" at the beginning, so Gu Wei also contributed the first "posthumous photo" in his film career!

Xiao Yan is not as happy as in his movie role in reality, he has been smiling and replying to questions from the media, and thanked Director Wen and Director Gu who has been working with [Tang Detective] for their attention, and he himself will film seriously and concentrate on going down the road of an actor

After the interview, film critics and audiences from all walks of life watched the movie "Love Saint" together.

This is also the first time Gu Wei has watched this comedy produced by his own company with the audience, which is similar to the original version of [Love Saint] in his memory, the main line has not changed, the story is still the same story, but after all, the effect presented by the different directors of the shooting is also different.

From Gu Wei's point of view, the current version of [Love Saint] is better handled in details than the original version he has seen, and the use of lenses and the effect of shaking the burden are better.

Wen Muye's reputation as a genius director is not just talking, people can shoot [I am not the God of Medicine], whether it is in basic skills or creativity, it is beyond ordinary directors.

As it turns out, it does.

From the beginning of the movie, the audience laughed almost a minute, laughed every two minutes, and laughed nearly 100 times in less than 2 hours, which is enough to see the funny skills of the film and the audience's love for the movie.

At the end of the film screening, the main creators and their entourage came to the stage to interact with the audience and answer some questions that everyone was interested in.

In the end, Xiao Yan led hundreds of audiences to sing the ending song of the movie together, and the light-hearted lyrics instantly aroused the emotions of the audience, and the premiere press conference of the film also ended in this happy atmosphere.

Gu Wei and other main creators left the venue, and the media immediately interviewed some of the audience.

"I didn't expect this movie to be so fun at all!"

"These actors are all comedy stars that I usually like very much, I didn't expect them to get together to act in a play, and I didn't expect it to be so hilarious!"

"Although Gu Wei has very few scenes, I feel that the beginning is quite interesting, I think Gu Wei is quite talented in comedy, and I can try to expand my acting career in this area in the future!"

"It's funny, one ring after another, I'll watch it again when the movie is officially released!"

“.”

The next day, all major entertainment media on the Internet published the news of the premiere press conference of [Love Saint] yesterday, including some film critics who were present also wrote their comments on the movie on their official WeChat.

#再不笑一次, 2016 is coming to an end! #

#[Love Saint]: Life is like a game, you are playing with her, and she is also playing with you! #

#国产喜剧总算能把 "men and women" are fun! #

##

Overall, before the film officially met the national audience, the media and film critics were quite optimistic about the film.

Of course, there is a relationship with the red envelopes of [Wei Mingxia], but I have to say that the movie [Love Saint] is completely qualified as a comedy movie that simply amuses you.

"What is the final schedule for the theater chain?"

In the office, Gu Wei asked while scrolling through various movie-related news.

"Wanda Cinema Line, Shanghai United Cinema Line, Guangdong Dadi Cinema Line, China Film Star Art Cinema Line and China Film Digital Cinema Line and other major cinema chains across the country have replied, and the proportion of the national film schedule of [Love Saint] on the first day of release on the 30th can reach about 28%."

Yang Liwen looked at the few information sheets in her hand and replied.

"Good!"

Gu Wei clapped his hands and a smile appeared on his face.

Whether a movie can achieve a high box office or not, film scheduling is too important, and some of the methods that Director Feng [I am not Pan Jinlian] played when it was released, although it was mainly for publicity, it was also one of the purposes to schedule films.

A good movie is like a delicious snack produced in a factory, and the cinema chain is like a supermarket of all sizes, no matter how popular your thing is, it has to be placed on the supermarket shelves before it can be bought by consumers, otherwise the supermarkets at the end of the day will not be stocked, and no matter how good the thing is, it will not be able to have a good sales.

"There doesn't seem to be any heavyweight movies released on this year's New Year's Day?"

"In fact, the "Great Wall", "Ferryman" and "Railway Flying Tiger" at the beginning of the Chinese New Year are the three most promising blockbusters this year, if the box office is strong, in this week's New Year's Day schedule, the three movies will normally occupy a large part of the box office market, but the reputation of the three of them, boss, you also know

A total of 12 movies will be released in the 3 days of the New Year's Day schedule, including [Love Saint], but most of them are some small-budget comedies or dramas, and our movies are considered heavyweights in them."

Listening to Yang Liwen's explanation, Gu Wei nodded.

This is indeed the reason, this week is the third week of the release of [The Great Wall], the second week of the release of "The Ferryman" and "Railway Flying Tiger", if these three films can have the strength of [Mermaid], [Monster Hunt] or [Tang Detective 2], then the film market on New Year's Day will not be able to squeeze out so many films.

[Love Saint] is now quite valued by the theater side, not because he is so good, but because the enemy army is too weak.

[Ferryman] has only been released for 5 days, and the box office in a single day has dropped to less than 20 million, can you believe that this is a blockbuster with a premiere of 280 million in 3 days and a star-studded director?

This box office trend is not much different from the original [Small Times], which was a big hit in the first three days by publicity, and then collapsed after word-of-mouth fermentation.

Speaking of this, Yang Liwen remembered something.

"Boss, the news from Mr. Zhao's side, [fragrant honey sinks like frost] will be completed in the next few days, and he will take Director Wu Jinyuan and the crew back to Beijing after the finish."

"This film has been filmed for half a year, right?"

"It was started in July, and it took more than 5 months in total."

Gu Wei nodded.

[Xiangmi] is also a big project he likes, and in his thoughts, [Chu Qiao's Biography] plus this drama is broadcast, and Li County is properly promoted to the top of the domestic entertainment line.

After all, Deng Lun relied on this drama to fly directly from a third-tier actor to the top, and now without [Xiangmi], it is unknown whether Deng Lun can finally become the top stream again.

Maybe this is not necessarily a bad thing for him, he is not so famous, he can't make so much money, and he may not be so big in taxes.

Wait until Li County soars, Xiao Zhen and Li County, a film field, a TV drama field, a powerful faction and an idol faction, [Wei Mingxia] In addition to Gu Wei, there are also male artists who can really resist the flag.

"Have you talked to David TV and video websites about copyright?"

Although [Xiangmi] has not yet been filmed, the post-production time of this kind of Xianxia drama will not be too short.

However, the dramas of [Wei Mingxia] often communicate with familiar satellite TV and platforms according to different types from the beginning of the project, first determine the intention of cooperation, and then talk about the price in detail when the drama comes out later.

Yang Liwen thought about it.

"The major platforms are still very interested in our new Xianxia drama, but the current fame and popularity of the heroes and heroines Yang Zi and Li County are not top-notch, and it is estimated that the copyright fee will be much worse than [Three Lives and Three Worlds] and [Chu Qiao's Biography]."

Gu Wei nodded in understanding.

[Three Lives and Three Worlds] has him and Yang Mi, and [Chu Qiao's Biography] has no problem relying on Zhao Liying's monoclonal antibody, and now Yang Zi is not the top female of the post-90s generation in the future, and she has not yet started the road of acting as a female top performer, and it is normal for [Xiangmi] to not be able to sell top dramas.

Of course, this just means that the first round of copyright of [Xiangmi] will not be as profitable as those two, but it is still no problem to return to the original and make a small profit.

However, Gu Wei knew that [Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost] will explode in the future, and he can't accept "cheap sales" in the first round.

"Wait for Mr. Zhao and Director Wu to come back, do the post-production of this film first, and don't worry about it when the finished film comes out, press it, and wait until a good time to shoot."

Yang Liwen said she understood.

She thought that Gu Wei wanted to wait until after the broadcast of [The Legend of Chu Qiao] and the reputation of Li County to a certain extent before selling dramas, so that she could maximize the use of resources.

Film and television companies in the entertainment industry do a lot of this, and many stars have made some films before they become famous and have not been broadcast for various reasons, and after they become famous in one fell swoop, the film and television company or platform will sell them at a good price.
