Chapter 635: La La Land Premiere

Since May, the mainland film market has been hot.

Generally speaking, young people are much richer at this point in time, and after experiencing the Lunar New Year, they have more money in their pockets and can distribute it freely.

So more commercial films were released at this time.

However, on the whole, the schedule of May and June in the mainland is still not as good as that of July and August.

After all, July and August are the real summer seasons.

Of course, when it comes to the summer file, the competition is naturally greater.

Needless to say, movies like "Taiping Wheel" and "One Step Away", with an investment of two or three hundred million, are absolute blockbusters, and the goal is the New Year.

For general movies, if the commercial attributes are not so strong, it is better to go to the schedule where the competition is not so fierce.

"Dalian by the Sea" was released in mid-May.

"The Return" was chosen to be released in late May.

And "La La Land" took advantage of the great acclaim in Cannes, and Lee Shengyao plans to release it in mid-June.

The movie is airborne.

Such behavior naturally drew the resentment of other filmmakers, but no one dared to speak out.

The vast majority of people are secretly poking in their hearts and looking forward to "La La Land" hitting the streets.

As a result, at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 13, 2014, six new films were screened in the Mainland at the same time.

They are "La La Land", "Godzilla", "Combing Hair in the Middle of the Night", "Lonely Bodyguard", "Golden Time", and "Stirring Youth".

Among them, "La La Land" got 32% of the film schedule, and "Godzilla" got 28% of the film schedule.

Most of the other four new films are scheduled with a percentage of about five.

Because there is still a blockbuster film in early June, that is, Tom's "Edge of Tomorrow", and even "Return" still has five percent of the film schedule.

In this case, movies like "Combing Hair in the Middle of the Night" and "Stirring Youth" are very obvious cannon fodder.

Of course, there are still people who don't believe in evil, and many people fantasize that their movies can counterattack.

"Da! Da! Da! ”

Chen Qiaoen wore a long blue dress with an open back, and walked quickly down the hotel corridor.

She was followed by two female assistants.

She is the heroine of "Stirring Youth", she is promoting in major theaters in Beijing today, running a lot of places, wearing high heels all the time, although she is very beautiful, she is very tired.

Upon entering the hotel suite, she immediately kicked off her high heels, then entered the room barefoot and threw herself into bed.

"Alas, I'm exhausted."

The two female assistants immediately nodded, "Sister Buck, you are so good, you work so hard, you will definitely get good results." ”

"Yes, sister, we all support you."

These two female assistants are both girls from the bend, and they speak quite nicely.

When Chen Qiaoen heard this, she was happy in her heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl.

When she first debuted, Lee Shengyao's Fenghua idol drama swept Asia, and a group of young actors almost had a bright future.

Fortunately, Lee Shengyao went to make a movie later.

The idol drama of Wanwan learned from the Fenghua idol drama and has gained some development in the local area of Wanwan.

Chen Qiaoen is the hottest idol drama actress in Wanwan, known as the queen of idol dramas, and has acted in several idol dramas, all of which have achieved high ratings in Wanwan.

However, the market is limited, and she can only earn two or three million by acting in a TV series, which is not comparable to the mainland, so she, like others, entered the mainland entertainment circle.

acted in several TV series in the mainland and made a lot of money, but his popularity was very average from beginning to end, and there was no development.

She is not like a big curve, or like Lin Zhilin, there is a big guy behind her, and she can act in movies.

This time, she can be the heroine of "Stirring Youth", with Huang Xiaoming, she has been a resource to accompany investors for several days.

This is her first film starring in the mainland.

Therefore, Chen Qiaoen is very much looking forward to it.

When he learned that the movie was only five percent scheduled, Chen Qiaoen was stunned.

Isn't Huang Xiaoming the best student in the mainland?

Why is it just a little bit of film arrangement.

Later, I studied it carefully and saw "Godzilla", "Edge of Tomorrow", "The Return", "La La Land".

Chen Qiaoen understands that Huang Xiaoming actually has no appeal, and in front of these blockbusters, he really can't get the films.

However, "La La Land" is an airborne film, and Chen Qiaoen is a little unconvinced.

If it weren't for the fact that "La La Land" suddenly asked for 32% of the film schedule, the film schedule of "Stirring Youth" might have exceeded 10%.

She has always had an idea in her heart, hoping that "La La Land" will hit the streets, and "Stirring Youth" will counterattack.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang and several messages came.

Chen Qiaoen picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was a message of encouragement sent by a few good friends.

The mainland market is too big and too easy to make money.

Almost all the bending stars, as long as they are a little famous, have come over and developed.

And these people have a very strong ability to fool, and several of them have movies released this month.

is like "Breakup Master", which was released on the 6th of this month, and the male lead is Fan Yichen.

and "Combing Hair in the Middle of the Night", which is released today, is a low-cost suspense movie, and the male lead is Li Wei.

and "Who Moved My Dream" released on the 19th, the male lead is William Li.

They are a few crooked actors, and they often encourage each other.

At this time, seeing the message sent by a good friend, Chen Qiaoen was very moved.

She then got up, "I'm going to take a shower, help me look at my phone, and let me know if there's a message." ”

Now the box office statistics are much faster, and after the early hours of the morning, the box office of the day will come out.

Chen Qiaoen hopes that "Stirring Youth" can break out of the encirclement and become the movie second only to "Godzilla", "La La Land" and "Edge of Tomorrow" at the single-day box office.

This movie may have a chance to improve the film schedule.

When she took a shower and walked out in her pajamas, it happened to be early in the morning, and the phone really rang, it was a message from an assistant director of "Stirring Youth", saying that the movie was at the box office.

"Ranked ninth on the box office list of the day, 530,000 ......"

Chen Qiaoen saw the data on the information, and the whole person was not good.

Ranked so low?

How can it be so little?

She couldn't help but enter the WeChat group of "Stirring Youth" to ask, and someone immediately explained to her.

Needless to say, a few blockbusters, a movie like "The Return" that has been screened for almost 20 days, have a box office of 3 million.

Among several new films, positive films like "Stirring Youth" are the most unpleasant.

"Combing Hair in the Middle of the Night" starring Li Wei has 2.5 million today.

Low-cost suspense films have always been more popular, and they can't be a big hit, but they have the opportunity to make a small profit.

Chen Qiaoen saw the information, and then he knew that the movie he starred in was the most unlikable and the lowest box office.

She thought of the days and nights she had spent fighting for this movie, and she couldn't help but feel lost.

"Sister Buckwyn, it's okay, we'll come back later."

"Sister Buckwheat, maybe there will be a better box office tomorrow."

If the box office is not good on the opening day, the film will be cut later.

There are already few films, and after cutting them again, there are very few, how can it be possible?

Chen Qiaoen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

She has always been more optimistic, thought about it, and planned to vent, "Let's go, let's go out to the movies and relax." ”

Anyway, this movie is hopeless, she has no interest in publicity, it is better to let herself relax and relax.

"Okay, Sister Buckwheat, let's watch "La La Land", I heard that this movie has a good reputation, and it has a good response in Moskawa."

Lee Shengyao's movies are all released in the mainland, Hong Kong Island, Wanwan, and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand at the same time.

It is unique in the Chinese-speaking world.

When Chen Qiaoen heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Is there a lot of "La La Land" in Moss North? ”

"That's a lot."

"Damn."

Although Chen Qiaoen was very unhappy, she still listened to the assistant's words, dressed up in disguise, and went out to watch a movie.

There was a large cinema near their hotel, and the three of them bought tickets, bought Coke popcorn, and entered the theater.

At this time, it was already half past twelve, but there were fifty or sixty people in this 300-person theater, and the attendance rate was almost 20 percent.

Chen Qiaoen was envious.

is worthy of Li Shengyao, and his appeal is really strong.

"Sister, it's coming."

"Got it."

Chen Qiaoen took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and after calming down, he stared at the big screen quietly with wide eyes.

I saw pictures flashing on the big screen, as well as subtitles.

The pictures are very colorful, red and green, like a children's castle.

However, this color combination does not give people a rustic feeling, on the contrary, there is a retro feeling, which feels like the world in a certain movie.

Then the movie officially begins, and the heroine is an amateur actress who has been auditioning but never succeeded.

In order to survive, she had to work part-time in addition to auditions.

This kind of life is very tiring, and she has been persevering for her dreams.

On a sunny, flowery morning, she drove to the audition site and ended up in a traffic jam.

She accidentally crashed into the car in front of her.

The driver who was hit was furious and yelled at her.

The heroine was naturally unhappy, and the two had a fierce quarrel.

Later, she was late for the audition and kicked people out, she was in a low mood, and her friend invited her to a party, where she met the driver again, and this person was the male lead.

She still doesn't like the male protagonist.

She found that this actor was obviously nothing, but he was dragging and dragging him, and he looked high.

At the end of the party, on the night back, she was sent to a jazz bar, and when she entered the bar, she saw the male protagonist playing the piano in the center of the stage.

The light fell on the male protagonist, and the rest of the place was dim.

He's so engrossed, he's so captivating.

At this moment, the heroine was stunned.

Chen Qiaoen took a sip of Coke and pursed her lips.

So far, the story of the movie is very ordinary, isn't it just a routine of rejoicing in the beginning of the enemy and then walking together?

The better part is probably that the movie picture is very beautiful and has a sense of dreaminess.

And the soundtrack of the movie is very good, the group dance just now, as well as the monologue of the actress, and the piano music, the soundtrack is very good.

The film continues.

The heroine has curiosity about the male protagonist, and the male protagonist gradually understands the heroine and has feelings.

In fact, the heroine had a boyfriend at this time, and in the end she followed her inner call, broke up with her boyfriend, and walked with the male protagonist.

They are very compatible and very romantic when they are together.

Until one day the heroine received a call from her mother, she subconsciously lied and told her mother that her boyfriend had a stable job.

The male protagonist heard the heroine's words and knew that he was messing around now, and there was no way to give the heroine a stable life.

He wants to change, he wants to make money.

He had always looked down on electronic music, but now in order to make money, he plans to give up traditional jazz and play electronic music with a band formed by a friend.

Despite his unhappy work, he excelled and soon made a lot of money.

However, the rift between him and the heroine is getting bigger and bigger.

The heroine wants the male protagonist to insist on himself, and the male protagonist wants to give the heroine a stable and prosperous life.

Neither of them could convince the other, and they separated after an argument.

Chen Qiaoen grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth.

The story of the movie is still old-fashioned, but it is really well filmed, and Li Lianhua and Yu Yueming are also good, and the very clichΓ© story is still attractive.

The hero and heroine are separated, and they still miss each other.

They all know that love has not disappeared, but there are some contradictions.

The actor relented, and at the same time he helped the heroine win an audition.

He goes to the heroine's hometown and encourages her to be brave enough to pursue her dreams.

The actress successfully passed the audition, but it took a year to shoot to act in Paris.

After a year of separation, there are obviously trade-offs in this relationship.

Whether it's embracing love, or pursuing your dreams.

Both of them were very calm and after a serious exchange, they chose to pursue their dreams.

Although the actor was sad, he still sent his blessings.

Chen Qiaoen's little assistant sobbed quietly and was wiping her tears.

She shook her head speechlessly, it was so vulgar that she couldn't believe that such a movie could be a big hit.

Haven't the judges and critics of the Cannes Film Festival seen romance films?

The ending will definitely meet at the peak, and let's finally go together.

A few years later, the heroine became a female star, married a good man and gave birth to a cute little boy.

On one night of a banquet, they get stuck in traffic, and the heroine and her husband go to the bar they went to a few years ago.

She notices that the name of the bar has changed, to the one she and the male protagonist used to talk to.

She walked into the bar and saw the male lead playing.

Just like a few years ago, it is radiant and has an unbeatable charm.

The male protagonist looked up, he noticed the heroine, looked at each other, and the two of them smiled at each other.

The heroine's heart was surging, and she suddenly saw a lot of scenes.

If she didn't quarrel with the actor back then, and the two of them have been with He Meimei, married, had children, and their respective careers have developed smoothly, then they would have been very happy.

They will travel all over the world, they will raise a good boy, they will grow old together, and they will have children and grandchildren.

Such images flashed through my brain one by one, as if they had actually happened in another time and space.

Chen Qiaoen was stunned, seeing this, recalling the previous relationship between the hero and heroine, she felt a sense of regret in her heart.

People who love each other so much should be together.

When her husband was leaving, the heroine turned to leave, and when she came to the door, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at the hero.

The eyes are complex, there is gratitude, relief, joy, pride, and relief.

Be grateful for the past encounters, know and love, and wish you happiness in the future.

The heroine followed her husband and drove away from the street and quickly disappeared.

Chen Qiaoen covered her mouth, and her tears couldn't stop sliding down.

Why aren't the heroes and heroines together?

Twenty minutes later, Chen Qiaoen and two assistants returned to the hotel, still uneasy and depressed.

"Sleeping, sleeping, knowing not to go to the movies.

What did Li Shengyao shoot, I was uncomfortable to death. ”
