13 million on the first day of the 7th, the best result since the opening of the summer file.

This is the transcript of Source Code.

This is still a result of running in the absence of offline publicity for the actor Zhang Yuanjun.

But Zhang Yuanjun recorded a VCR for almost every station of "Source Code", and every time the crew went to a place, they played the greeting video recorded by Zhang Yuanjun in advance to show the audience, which can be regarded as compensation.

Unable to participate in the roadshow, Zhang Yuanjun worked very Weibo.

Create or retweet at least 10 Weibo posts about "Source Code" a day to promote the movie.

"Source Code" may be the first film to be promoted online with the help of Weibo.

The effect is very good, and young people are very receptive to such a novel method of propaganda.

Weibo also took advantage of the popularity of "Source Code" to invite physicists to popularize the basic concept of parallel universes, which is quite popular with young people.

The box office of "Source Code" exceeded 50 million in the first 3 days of the first weekend, will China Film regret it?

can't say that I regret it, when this film got China Film, they were really not easy to handle, which made Shangying pick up the leak.

But if only things could be as simple as that.

China Film is not monolithic, and the group, under the auspices of Han Sanping, has missed the two blockbuster movies "Animal World" and "Source Code" one after another.

At the same time, the investment in "Red Cliff" lost to my grandmother's house - the only profitable Japanese market is a buyout, which has nothing to do with China Film.

So far this year, few of the projects invested by the group have been profitable.

The people below have long been dissatisfied, and they used "Source Code" to criticize Han Sanping, questioning his strategy.

Now a project is in front of China Film, and the group needs to make a choice.

Inception!

The industry already knows that Zhang Yuanjun bought out the box office revenue of "Inception" in China, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand for $17 million, and exchanged two roles for himself and his girlfriend.

The problem now is that Zhang Yuanjun's studio has no distribution ability, and he bought out "Inception" and did not distribute the film to him.

But the $17 million fund is a bit big, and Zhang Yuanjun's studio wants to find someone in China to share the risk.

However, most of the domestic companies with distribution capabilities are reluctant to cooperate, and you think it is risky, and I think it is risky.

Therefore, this film was handed to Zhongying again.

Han Sanping, as always, is reluctant to invest in "Inception" due to risks, but Fu Ruoqing, director and deputy general manager of the group, wants to invest.

Han Sanping has really not been happy recently, he has lost too many projects, and the people below are about to rebel.

In particular, the loss of "Red Cliff" made him lose ground within the group, but he still fought with Fu Ruoqing and did not vote for "Inception".

But Fu Ruoqing didn't listen to him, saying that "Red Cliff" lost too much, but the Japanese market made money, and the people under him had very big opinions on Han San, and even the ministry had gossip.

Even more vicious, he actually said that Han Sanping had improper economic exchanges with the Japanese side.

"This is complete nonsense!" No one can afford to wear this hat.

Fu Ruoqing persuaded Han San to comment: "So you should vote for "Inception", vote for a movie starring Leonardo, how nice it sounds." ”

Han Sanping was still thinking about the risk, but Fu Ruoqing didn't care, and insisted on investing: "Ren Zhonglun is also thinking about it, "Source Code" has made him so much money, he really doesn't mind investing in Zhang Yuanjun again, "Inception" is okay if it doesn't sell for money in China, but it will kill him, what if it sells for money, what should we do?" "Inception" is different from other films, after all, there are international superstars like Leonardo, and the attention is high, besides, aren't there still Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, the two of them can still sell for money in China. ”

Han Sanping was shaken, but his mouth was stiff, and he still said that the risk was too great.

Fu Ruoqing said simply: "This film must be invested, making a movie is originally a venture capital, rather than watching him eat in the movie with a mouth full of oil, it is better to rot the meat in our own pot." Isn't it fifty or sixty million, if you don't vote, I will find a way to persuade the group to vote. ”

Han Sanping hesitated at this time, Fu Ruoqing is still on the side of the group now, generally on his side, if it drags on any longer, he will really worry that Fu Ruoqing will switch to Ren Zhonglun's side, or even go too far, and go to the General Bureau and the ministry to make his own small report.

The position of the chairman of China Film is staring at it.

What Fu Ruoqing said today was to persuade himself to vote for "Inception" on the surface, but secretly he was giving himself an ultimatum.

Han Sanping couldn't afford to invest fifty or sixty million for a play, which hindered his career.

Finally, he said, "I'll ask for the opinions of others, and we'll talk about it next time." ”

Fu Ruoqing knew that Han San's evaluation had agreed, and he also knew that "Inception" would be in his hands, so he left contentedly.

Pulling partners for "Inception" is the task that Zhang Yuanjun handed over to the studio when he left China.

The $17 million buyout of the film's earnings does have risks, but the prospects are just as impressive.

…………

Conscience of heaven and earth! Zhang Yuanjun really only taught Nolan to say, who would have thought that Leonardo and Maria Cotillard would also learn it.

It's really not a good thing to say, but Nolan seems to think that two simple monosyllabic letters are more straightforward than the OMG effect.

What's more, he even learned the cow ratio.

Every time he shoots a good clip, he praises the actor: "Cows are better than cows!" ”

Or the special effects team made something to meet his shooting requirements, and he also boasted: "! Bull ratio! ”

Zhang Yuanjun felt that he was committing a crime.

Liu Yifei smiled: "You continue to teach, I'll see how you end up later." ”

Zhang Yuanjun thought of a funny one and said with a smile: "Do you know how to say this phenomenon in my hometown?" ”

"How?"

"It's called, 'Tell Hanako to pick up a word, and the light of the sky speaks of night.'" Zhang Yuanjun switched to Luling dialect, this sentence does not rhyme at all in Mandarin, only in Luling dialect.

Liu Yifei didn't understand, Zhang Yuanjun explained: "That is to say, they learned a sentence, and they kept saying it all day long, like a flower child picking up a baby." ”

Liu Yifei said: "You are embarrassed to say that others, but you didn't teach it." ”

Zhang Yuanjun didn't take it to heart, but said: "You say, do I call this cultural export?" ”

Liu Yifei said: "You are called a cultural hooligan. ”

But whether to say it or not, saying a few swear words to each other can really bring people closer to each other.

After Leon followed and learned a few words of Mandarin, he also reciprocated the favor and invited Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to drink two glasses of wine after the play.

After coming and going, the three of them really got acquainted.

Liu Yifei was even very narcissistically worried: "He is so enthusiastic about me, he won't take a fancy to me, right?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun on the side glanced at it: "You think too much, your face is also in Southeast Asia, Leon likes supermodels, you are not his dish." ”

In fact, Liu Yifei also knows the truth in this, she is just joking.

After filming in the United States for another half a month, the crew went to Paris. (End of chapter)
