Chapter 176: Crazy August
The summer of 2006 will be remembered in the history of Chinese cinema.
In July, it belongs to "Crazy Stone".
In August, it belongs to "Rise to Fame"!
At 6 p.m. on the 4th, the distributor of "Rise to Fame", the relevant person in charge of China Film Group announced the box office of "Rise to Fame" on the first day.
2.6 million!
"Rise to Fame" surpassed "Crazy Stone" – the first day of the first day surpassed the first weekend of "Stone".
If "Stone" is a "miracle", then "Rise to Fame" is "a miracle of miracles"!
As soon as the results of the first day were released, Wang Zhonglei's intestines were repentant!
Why didn't you vote for "Rise to Fame" in the first place!
Why do you think that "Rise to Fame" does not conform to the style of Huayi comedy!
As long as you invest a few hundred and one million, now the scenery of "Rise to Fame" will have its own share!
And the four major investors of "Rise to Fame": Zhang Yuanjun Studio, Qingying Studio, China Film and Pony Galloping, their faces are all smiling crookedly!
There is no need for Zhang Yuanjun's studio to urge, and theater managers around the country have asked China Film to increase copies.
The phone number of the distribution director of China Film in charge of "Rise to Fame" was blown up by provincial film companies and theater managers.
"Lao Liu, Sichuan Province will get me two more, no, five copies!"
"Mr. Liu, add two more to Shancheng, and I'll send someone to get them tomorrow."
"Brother Liu, you are my brother, give me two more copies."
"I don't care! You can't wait for you in the factory, I can't wait for you, add three more. ”
"Don't care if I can eat or not, copy a lot of money, you can get me two more."
"You go steal and rob it, I don't care how you get a copy, I have tens of thousands of viewers here waiting to watch the film."
"You give two of them to such a small place in the mountain city, and the market in my Lu Province is not bigger than him? Give me four, I'll fly over at night, and I'll want it tomorrow. ”
"Old Deng braggarts, he is not afraid to die with five, you give me these five, and I will invite you to drink at the end of the year."
The managers of various theaters frantically grabbed copies, and at the same time, the creators of "Rise to Fame" also embarked on the road of publicity again.
This achievement is enough to make everyone in the crew rush forward with full energy.
Especially the director, Mr. Takata.
He was banned before, and he was aggrieved and depressed, and because he couldn't get used to seeing the flies and dogs in the circle, he had to go back to school to teach.
But in fact, he is very reluctant to the audience, although "Rise to Fame" is not his previous style in terms of ideological expression, but when he saw the results of 2.6 million on the first day, he felt the audience's re-recognition of himself.
This is a full affirmation of him at the age of 54!
He rushed to the front line of publicity with the crew.
The next day, Friday, "Rise to Fame" earned 4.3 million.
Entering the weekend, the climax of national movie-watching arrived, and the newspaper received a good result of 7.2 million on the same day!
Break 10 million in three days!
On Sunday, another 6.7 million will be collected!
Early in the morning of Monday, Han Dong personally announced: "Although the exact number has not yet been counted, the box office of "Rise to Fame" exceeded 20 million in the first weekend is a certainty!" ”
The film industry is in a frenzy.
"Rise to Fame" is even crazier than "Stone"!
"Stone" took one month to achieve, and "Rise to Fame" took only 4 days.
On the same day, the film academy issued a big-character good news on its official website:
"Congratulations to the graduation drama of our school's 02 students, and the box office of the theatrical movie "Rise to Fame" exceeded 20 million in the first weekend!"
This is the success of the film, and the success of the Academy!
02 The table has delivered a perfect graduation project for his alma mater!
02 The table is really famous!
The comprehensive cost of the film was 4.7 million, and it successfully made a profit in the first weekend and triggered a movie-watching boom.
Truly small and big, tense and exciting!
In the second week of the movie's release, it continued to rush forward with a breaking momentum.
However, due to the impact of "Garfield 2", which was released on Friday the 11th, the box office growth rate of the second weekend has declined.
But even so, "Rise to Fame" still cut a high box office of 17 million in the second week, and the total score is close to 40 million!
This is a achievement that has never been achieved by domestic films.
The domestic films mentioned here refer to mainland films.
"Rise to Fame" is a mainland film with extremely pure blood, from the director to the actors to the behind-the-scenes staff, "Rise to Fame" does not use a person from Hong Kong, Taiwan or overseas.
To put it mildly, "Rise to Fame" and "Stone" are both examples of small and broad.
To put it bigger, "Rise to Fame" tells the outside world that as long as the story is good and the team is professional and united, the audience still likes to watch it, who said that only Hong Kong and Taiwan actors can sell for money, and mainland actors can do the same!
The crew returned to the capital, and at a symposium organized by the General Administration, with such good results, the General Administration will definitely hold a seminar, "Stone" does not have such treatment, Director Tian Xiangxiang spoke as a representative of the crew, he sighed:
"In fact, the movie also has shortcomings, our crew is quite poor, in order to reduce costs, we have to use digital shooting, if we can invest more than 800,000 yuan at that time, and replace it with a film machine, the imaging effect of "Famous" will be better."
Tong Ju said: "We really need to pay attention to this problem, how to guide film investment, I can't say that I have a good story, but because of the problem of money, the movie can't be made, or the effect is not good." ”
"We can't keep an eye on blockbusters, blockbusters have to be made, but many of our directors and crews are not qualified to make blockbusters, and we must actively guide and expand investment channels for small and medium-cost commercial films such as "Stone" and "Rise to Fame". We'll discuss this at a separate meeting later. ”
At the end of the seminar, Tong Ju concluded: "This summer, the success of the two films "Stone" and "Rise to Fame" has given a shot in the arm to the sluggish domestic film market. In addition to the excellent quality of the movie, I found that both of your crews have a common characteristic, that is, regardless of personal gains and losses, making a good movie in the first place. As far as I know, many of your actors are paid very low, and the salaries of the staff are not very high, and I think this spirit is the key to your success. ”
After the meeting, Tong Ju and Zhang Yuanjun talked separately for a while and praised him.
""Rise to Fame" is very good, do a good job. What difficulties to tell the bureau. ”
"Nothing else, it's just that the crew is too poor to afford good equipment." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
Tong Ju was amused: "You kid is crying poor with me, I know that you just bought a villa." ”
"The money given by the family, the crew is still poor." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.
"After "Rise to Fame", you will really become famous, and you will not be short of money." Tong Ju joked.
After a few jokes, everyone broke up.
Zhang Yuanjun ran with the crew for another three days, and returned to the crew of "Animal World" in the magic capital with Luo Jin on the afternoon of the 17th.
He was also in a cinema in the magic capital in the morning to promote "Rise to Fame".
As soon as he returned to the crew, he was warmly welcomed by his colleagues, and the only heroine, Liu Yifei, as a representative, also sent a bouquet of flowers to him and Luo Jin to celebrate the box office success of "Rise to Fame".
"Thank you, thank you, I delayed the shooting for more than 20 days, I'm sorry, I'll have a supper at night." Zhang Yuanjun apologized.
