285, breaking 100 million in three days, far ahead! Chen Kexin and Lu Chuan change schedules? What did you do to eat in the morning!
"Tell me again, what was the first-day box office of "Thai Embarrassment"?"
Mango Channel, the recording site of the happy base camp, Feng Xiaogang received a call from the studio.
"Director Feng, it's 56.5 million."
Toot toot...
The phone was hung up directly, and Feng Xiaogang stood in the background in disbelief, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
56.5 million!
This is the data that "Night Banquet" took a whole week to get, and it took "Thai Embarrassment" to get it in one day.
He inexplicably felt like God had played a joke on him.
originally wanted to compare "Assembly Number", but after the data of 56.5 million came out, his whole confidence was directly crushed.
When Chen Fei shouted "500 million" before, some media interviewed Feng Xiaogang and asked him if he had any predictions about the box office data of "Assembly"?
At that time, he especially wanted to shout "600 million", but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to do it.
Chen Fei has that confidence, but he doesn't, because in his opinion, if the assembly number can get 200 million box office in the mainland, it will already be a big victory.
500 million is a completely unattainable dream!
Even 300 million was an idea that only came to him when he was daydreaming.
But now?
"Thai Embarrassment" is unbeatable, directly raising the first-day box office data in domestic film history to an unattainable point!
Who can match a horse?
In a trance, the name of "Mulan" suddenly rubbed out of Feng Xiaogang's mind.
Some time ago, Sina.com issued a notice to specifically inform the news that "Mulan" will compete in the Chinese New Year file.
This movie has an investment of 70 million US dollars, and it is still a work written and directed by Chen Fei himself, which is bigger than the row of "Thai Embarrassment"!
"This guy won't shout out another 600 million, right?"
I don't know why, the more I think about it, the more Feng Xiaogang thinks it's very possible!

With the announcement of the box office results of "Thai Embarrassment" on the first day, the reviews of film critics also followed, and they sprung up like mushrooms.
A professor from Nortel published an article saying: "As a comedy, the entertainment of "Thai Embarrassment" is undoubted, whether it is the antics of the actors, or the humor of the characters' language, or the misunderstandings and coincidences in the plot setting, people can't help but laugh, which is an indispensable condition for attracting the audience." ”
A doctoral director of the Chinese Opera Screenwriting Department published an article saying: "This film has a strong cast, outstanding advertising in the early stage, meets the needs of modern urban fans to relax and decompress, the plot is funny, the release schedule is reasonable, and it is reasonable to receive such a high first-day box office." ”
A teacher from the directing department on the side of the play said: ""Thai Embarrassment" has successfully expanded the genre of classic road comedies, with typical genre elements of "road mode" and "spiritual redemption", which is of symbolic significance to the extensibility of road scenes. ”
“……”
Many film critics personally praised the film, coupled with the word-of-mouth among fans, as well as the emphasis on film scheduling, which made the box office of the film continue to rise!
Tieba, forums, blogs, Douban and other major websites have emerged enthusiastic discussions.
Douban has a score of 8.0, and the number of comments is as high as 50,000!
"Haha, it's even funnier than the first part, it feels like it's over before it's enjoyable, I'm going to go to the second brush."
"The happiness of this National Day is all given by "Thai Embarrassment", Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang are simply too fun."
"What about Lao Zhou? Can anyone tell me who Lao Zhou is? Hahaha! ”
"Poof, that shemale really scared me when she spoke."
"It's harder for me to get a power of attorney than to learn from the West, isn't that what I'm talking about? I'm going to be annoyed by this dog's tender! ”
A good comedy must contain "comedy elements", and it is best to have the kind of comedy elements that are familiar in life, so that fans can have a sense of substitution.
This is the hardest thing to handle.
But Thai embarrassment did it!
It is close to the real life of the target audience, accurately teases the audience's laughter, and conforms to their life experience and aesthetic taste......
The three-pronged approach directly produced a violent chemical reaction and also broke out excellent results!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a flash.
On the morning of the 4th, China Film once again announced the box office results of Thai embarrassment.
42.57 million!
Combined with the data on October 2, adding up the three days, the total domestic box office just exceeded 140 million!
At this moment, the entire mainland film and television circle was in an uproar.
Even if it breaks 100 million in three days, it jumps directly to 140 million?
What is this for?
It's not that fast to ride a rocket, is it?
The voices that were still mocking Chen Fei's unashamed words disappeared without a trace at this moment, "Thai Embarrassment" got 140 million results in just three days, and there are still 27 days of release time in the future...
500 million is already close at hand!
…
Chen Kexin, who was running around for "Casting a Name", was dumbfounded directly after receiving the news.
Although he was also shocked by the results of "Thai Embarrassment", he was not afraid of Ning Hao, because his real opponent was the "helmsman behind the scenes" Chen Fei!
The release time set for the nomination is December 12th, although there is a gap of more than a week between December 22nd and "Mulan", he is still scared!
Then a giant is standing behind him, not to mention how much pressure there is.
He called Han Sanping with a sad face, "Han Dong? Why don't you move the release date of the petition forward and set it for December 1st? ”
"What are you kidding me? Is this something I can do if I want to? ”
Han Sanping rejected him mercilessly.
What did you do to eat the horse early?
It's already October, and now I remember to move the release schedule? The cucumber dish has already cooled down!
The film schedule in the theater has been arranged in advance, and there is no chance to change it at all, so it can only be hard-headed!
Chen Kexin is also pessimistic as Lu Chuan, who is studying the selection rules of the Berlin Film Festival.
He still doesn't give up, even if he is rejected by both Cannes and Venice, but isn't there still a Berlin Film Festival?
It's just that the award thing is too uncertain, and at present, if you want to recover the investment cost, you must have something to gain at the box office.
However, Nanjing! Nanking! will be released on December 29.
Although it is also staggered by a whole week with "Mulan", if the former has another big explosion like "Thai Embarrassment", his film schedule is estimated to be pressed to the extreme!
Even if this movie is jointly invested by China Film and Huayi, the scheduling of other theaters will not give him face.
If the theater chain wants to make money, it has to schedule those high-box office movies, and several theaters are not related to him Lu Chuan, so why should they increase the number of films for him?
While thinking about it, Lu Chuan still couldn't hold back after all, and called Han Sanping.
"Han Dong, can we move our schedule back?"
"Doodoo ......"
There was a busy tone from the earpiece, and the phone was hung up directly by Han Sanping.
What did you eat when you stepped on the horse early?
When they were scheduled at the beginning, they all wanted to go to the Chinese New Year stalls to grab the box office, but now it's good, seeing that the situation is not right, and suddenly want to change again?
Want to eat fart?
Lu Chuan: "......"
"Alas!"
With a long sigh, he had no choice but to give up.
There are not so many opportunities to regret in life, even if you go to your teacher to cry, it's useless, now think about how to pass the Berlin Film Festival!
~
A week passed in a hurry, and the weekly box office of Thai embarrassment was fixed at 247 million.
Although the box office will definitely usher in a wave of sharp decline after the National Day schedule, there is still a 21-day release period, and it is absolutely no problem to break 400 million.
As for the "500 million" predicted by Chen Fei before, this can only be waited and seen.
At present, these domestic directors are still mixed in 300 million files, and the only ones with a box office of more than 300 million are "Chinese Partner" and "Source Code".
Because of this, they can't understand the trend after the box office breaks 300 million!
Who knows how many will end up?
Watch what happens!
The invitation to the premiere of "Assembly" appeared in Chen Fei's mailbox, but unfortunately he is currently here in Hawaii and can't go back at all.
Not to mention the premiere, he didn't have time to go to the Busan Film Festival on the 12th.
However, he had already greeted Park Qihan, and if he could win the award, he would let Xijie send someone to accept the award on his behalf.
The news of Lin Yuer's girlhood debut was told to Chen Fei by Park Bucheng, producer of ShowBox Film and Television Department.
The release date of "The Crucible" is also set for the Chinese New Year.
Park Bucheng happily said to Chen Fei: "Yu'er is now the head of Girls' Generation, and her popularity is very high, and she has released three songs, and ShowBox is preparing for her concert......"
"Okay, thank you guys."
Obviously, it was just a very polite thank you, but it made Park Bucheng excited again and again!
Chen Fei was still wondering if this guy was so excited about Mao, but he heard a voice on the other side of the phone: "ShowBox has signed a cooperation agreement with your country's Orange Sky Film and Television Company.
In the next time, we will sign some artists from each other's companies and gradually expand the acting careers of our artists in the entertainment industry of another country.
Among them, there is also one of your classmates, we will give her generous treatment and resources, and please rest assured that ShowBox will take care of her. ”
My classmates???
After being stunned for a moment, Chen Fei asked with some curiosity: "Who is my classmate you are talking about?" ”
"Jiang Yiyan."
“???”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Fei frowned, and directly called Zhu Yawen.
"What's going on with Orange Sky and ShowBox? Why does Jiang Yiyan use my banner to promote her classmates with me everywhere in South Korea? What the hell is Wang Jinghua doing? ”
This inexplicable feeling of being woolened made Chen Fei very unhappy.
Mixing in South Korea under his banner is already a kind of resource encroachment, and more importantly, he has not received any requests from Orange Sky and Jiang Yiyan.
That's a bit of a stretch!
That's not how things are done, if something goes wrong, ShowBox will only think that Chen Fei is dragging the bottom behind.
What's more, when he left South Korea some time ago, he was ready to "fish", but now that Jiang Yiyan suddenly came out like this, he was not a person inside and out!
"Alas..."Zhu Yawen sighed and said helplessly: "According to the information I learned, this should be the idea of Orange Sky."
Sister Hua is now facing the dilemma she was in Huayi Company again, and the two sides have begun to have conflicts again, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will disperse again. ”
Chen Fei was speechless for a while, isn't this Wang Jinghua's means quite strong, why do you always make this play?
"So Jiang Yiyan is now signed on Orange Sky's side?"
"yes, yes."
"You help me tell her that I have other plans on the South Korean side, let her go and tell Orange Sky by herself, don't use my banner to swagger over there in the future!"
"Okay, I'll contact her."
Anyway, he is also a classmate, Chen Fei doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff, just say hello and let Jiang Yiyan pay attention to it.

The box office of "The Assembly" on the first day was fixed at 20.5 million.
This film breaks the narrative mode of traditional main theme films, the film starts from the experience of ordinary soldiers, shows the spirit of heroism, and shows the audience the power of fighting for faith!
Although the performance of the box office data is not as good as "Thai Embarrassment", the official media led by the six princesses gave high praise.
And the fans' reviews are also quite good.
Many experts and scholars have fully affirmed the film, believing that the film is full of vivid and touching heroic spirit, which has promoted the prosperity and development of the cultural industry, and is an excellent work on the theme of war.
Feng Xiaogang finally raised his eyebrows, and the abuse brought by "Night Banquet" was all broken by "Assembly Number".
On the way to the Busan Film Festival, Director Feng was like a big rooster and accepted the interview with reporters with great dignity!
It's just that I didn't think that the reporters who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement began to stir up trouble as soon as they opened their mouths.
"Director Feng, what do you think about the fact that the box office of "Assembly" on the first day is half of that of "Thai Embarrassment"?"
Feng Xiaogang's face changed slightly.
Really stepping on the horse, which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!
What to say about the box office?
Can't everyone talk about movies seriously?
In fact, he was quite lucky, Huayi's intention at the beginning was to put this movie in the Chinese New Year file, that is, on December 20th.
The schedule is almost set, but after Feng Xiaogang deliberately paid attention to the filming progress of "Mulan", he vaguely felt that Chen Fei seemed to be going to the New Year.
Therefore, he quickly moved "The Assembly" to October 9.
Although he didn't expect that "Thai Embarrassment" would be so fierce in advance, he was still relieved.
If he really went to the Lunar New Year stall, he estimated that he would be completely abused to death by "Mulan"!
"In my opinion, the box office is not important, the theme of the movie is the key, in such a tragic era, there is a group of small but great people who carry the weight forward, teaching us to always remember history, do not forget the tragic lessons..."
These words directly pulled up the height of the core idea of the film, and immediately confused the reporter.
Helpless, he could only abandon the idea of continuing to talk about the box office.
The opening film of the Busan Film Festival is "The Assembly", and although Chen Fei did not go to the scene, he can probably guess the state of those fans when they see this film.
Countless soldiers on the screen charged, and the images of resisting the United States will inevitably haunt them again!
This is called cultural export!

Xijie's public relations team is very good, and the "Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award" was really awarded to Chen Fei... Even he didn't go to the scene.
The winner of the award was sent by Su Guohai, who was regarded as the manager of the public relations department of Feiyue Film and Television, and the people arranged by Xijie were not able to come in handy.
"First of all, I would like to thank the Busan Film Festival for its recognition, Director Chen must be very happy to receive such an award, but unfortunately he is currently filming in Iceland and was not able to come to the scene, which is a pity......
Offstage, a hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the two little girls, Lin Yuer and Li Zhien.
They thought they could see Chen Fei at the award ceremony this time, but they didn't expect him to come.
When he received the news of the award at the Busan Film Festival, Chen Fei was filming the seventh episode of Game of Thrones - "Death Without Victory"!
Tywin, fearing the danger to the Lannisters, orders Jaime to be a man of courage and prepare for battle.
Ned asks Cersei if she was involved in the plot to kill Jon Arryn.
With Banyan Stark's whereabouts still unknown, Jon decides to officially join the Night's Watch and search for his uncle beyond the Wall.
However, Jon was given a mission that was far from what he had expected!
On the other side, Jorah Mormont rescues Daenerys, who is on the verge of being assassinated, while Drogo decides to lead the Dothraki to uncharted lands they have never been to.
Robert was seriously injured during the hunt, and knowing that his life would not last long, Robert began to arrange for the transfer of power in King's Landing......
The progress of Game of Thrones was a little slow when filming first started, but after a month of running-in, the actors have now entered a rapid shooting period.
For the "996" work model, under the impact of double pay, they unconsciously accepted it!
The current filming schedule remains at one episode a week, and according to the original plan, Chen Fei plans to completely complete the filming of the first season of Game of Thrones by the end of October.
Perhaps because of his status, whenever he went to a country to shoot and shoot, he was warmly welcomed and supported by the locals.
This is also the reason why the shooting progress can be kept in a very fast state.

The popularity of the Busan Film Festival has slowed down, and Chen Fei's "Asian Filmmaker of the Year Award" has not caused too much discussion, and everyone's attention is still fixed on the box office of "Thai Embarrassment".
Whether it can stand close to 500 million has become the thing that netizens are most concerned about!
Because of the endorsement of the official media, the popularity of "The Assembly" is quite good, but it has always been a big gap with "Thai Embarrassment" at the box office.
On October 20th, after 20 days of release, China Film announced the latest box office situation.
425 million!
In an instant, the entire entertainment industry was completely boiling!
In just 20 days after its release, "Thai Embarrassment" has successfully broken the box office record set by "Source Code"!
And Ning Hao was officially promoted to the ranks of the 400 million box office directors club on this day!
There are still 10 days to go, and 500 million is already one step away...
On the 26th, Ning Hao and Su Guohai went to participate in the Golden Rooster Award together.
Liu Yifei was also invited to the scene and sang her famous song again at the opening ceremony.
Bruce's "training" is still quite useful, this girl's aesthetic has improved quickly, and the stage style is finally not so spicy.
As soon as the short hair style was unveiled, it attracted the attention of countless people!
On the 27th, the closing ceremony, Ning Hao, a member of the new "400 million box office directors club", led a group of people from the crew of "Thai Embarrassment" and "Painted Skin" to the red carpet.
Warm applause and cheers resounded throughout the audience, and the flashes and films of major media were consumed rapidly as if they didn't want money, which directly suppressed the heat of the "King of Kung Fu" crew in front!
At the door of the venue, Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun, Zhao Yanzi, Li Bingbin, Chen Long, and Li Lianlian subconsciously turned their heads with very complicated expressions.
"It's good to be young!" Chen Long was quite emotional.
The two brothers of the Wang family were speechless, and silently bowed their heads and walked into the hall, followed by Li Bingbin.
On the contrary, a trace of jealousy flashed in Zhao Yanzi's eyes, and her eyes stared at Liu Yifei for a long time.
Unfortunately, a director in Hong Kong recently contacted her and Chen Kun, saying that he also wanted to make a story about "Mulan".
She has already read the script, as long as she agrees to star, she will be a proper heroine.
But if you decide to participate in the filming of this movie, it will inevitably have a relationship with Liu Yifei, and fans of both sides will inevitably compare everywhere.
"Hmph, I want to see how good your Mulan is!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Yanzi turned his head and walked into the award venue.
But what she didn't notice was that Huang Xiaoming, who was walking the red carpet with Ning Hao, was staring at her directly, with a complicated look in his eyes...
