Zhang Yuanjun doesn't remember the specific results of "Love Notice" played by Miss Yuan Time and Space, but remembers that the final box office of this movie is less than 50 million and less than 60 million.

For a singer's crossover as a director, this achievement is really, very successful, and the film is also successfully profitable, and there is no sorry for the investor.

But looking back, how many of those who will buy tickets to enter the cinema are fans of Wang Lihong and Liu Yifei?

I'm afraid it's a lot.

And now, the cold box office report shows that Yang Mi's fans will not buy tickets for her in 10 years.

The box office of "Love Notice" on the first day of release was only 2.4 million, and it is estimated that a large part of it was contributed by Wang Lihong's fans.

If this film does not have Wang Lihong, the top of the music scene, the filmmaker is estimated to cut the later publicity of "Love Notice".

In fact, it is ready to cut the publicity, on the first Monday after the release of "Love Notice", "Shrek 4" was released, even if this film does not form an IP effect in China, but the theater chain is still optimistic that it can break 100 million, after all, it has been operating in China for many years.

Then on the 18th, Leonardo and Nolan came to China, "Inception" premiered, and it was officially released on the 20th.

"Lonely Agent" still has 8 million to 10 million income per day on weekdays, and the small and medium-cost films in the second half of the pressure are out of breath.

The investor, Shanshui International, doesn't know how the "Love Notice" will turn around.

But Wang Lihong showed unprecedented stubbornness in publicity, he insisted on continuing to invest, and he firmly believed that his film could be profitable.

But investors are the most realistic group of people, Shanshui International only promised not to cut the publicity funds, to maintain the original investment in publicity, if the later film performance is excellent, will consider increasing publicity and distribution efforts.

Zhang Yuanjun is still working hard to promote "Lone Agent", and on the seventh day of the movie's release, the box office exceeded 100 million, reporting 102 million.

However, the filmmaker and the theater chain believe that the film still has potential to be tapped, and still ask the creator to continue to promote it, and strive to "rush the box office to 170 million" before the release of "Inception". ”

During the chat, the person in charge of distribution of China Film also "blamed" Zhang Yuanjun: "It's okay now, hit yourself yourself, I'll see what you do." ”

"What else should I do, run as hard as I can." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile, "There are two movies in half a month, and the audience won't get tired of watching me." ”

"I'm not sure." Wu Jing smiled, "Why is this guy again, don't look at it." ”

Zhang Yuanjun immediately threw the pot to Zhongying: "It's all your fault for arranging the film for me." ”

The release is gone: "Why do you blame me?" In this year's World Cup, I will scold you to death at the beginning of July. The latter "Big Earthquake" is pressing, and we can't help it, now there are more films, and there are many distribution companies that schedule their own films, I estimate that it will be more and more difficult to schedule films in the next few years, don't think about eating all the schedules for each film in the future. ”

"Lone Agent" earned 43 million at the box office in two days on the second weekend, and the total score came to 159 million, after which the film schedule was cut to 17%.

At noon on the 17th, the main creators of "Inception" arrived in Beijing: Nolan and his wife, and only Leonardo came to the leading role.

Inception was one of the biggest winners of the summer.

At present, the global box office of the film has exceeded the $600 million mark, and $700 million will be reached in a few days, and Warner's shocking gamble of $160 million has won.

China Film announced the introduction of "Inception" and started to promote it after it was finalized.

Leonardo, Zhang Yuanjun, Liu Yifei.

Zhongying holds these three cards in his hand, and he doesn't know how to lose in publicity.

On the morning of the 18th, Zhang Yuanjun finished the last stop of "Lonely Agent" in Hongdu and went north to join the crew of "Inception".

"Zhang, you've lost a lot of weight." Nolan's first sentence when he saw Zhang Yuanjun was very moving.

"I have a movie that's coming out and needs to be promoted everywhere, you know, that's what actors do. Emma, how are you doing? Zhang Yuanjun shook hands with Emma Thomas.

"Inception was a big hit, and I feel really good." Emma Thomas laughed.

"Leon, welcome to China."

"Thank you." Leonardo showed off a Chinese sentence, "This is what I learned on the plane." ”

"Very good." Zhang Yuanjun also smiled.

Leonardo said, "I've seen the outline of the script you wrote with David. ”

For that AI movie, the script outline has been released, and now the plot is being filled.

"yes, what do you think?"

"I regret now that I didn't invest in your movie." The idea for this movie was released in the United States, when Zhang Yuanjun approached Leon to invest in the Appian Road, but there was only one idea that obviously did not impress him.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "You have invested in "Never-ending", and I am already very grateful to you. ”

As he was talking, Liu Yifei arrived.

After greeting everyone, Liu Yifei said: "I'm super nervous now, more nervous than when we premiered in London. As he spoke, he wiped his hand on Zhang Yuanjun's body.

"Where are you?" Zhang Yuanjun slapped Liu Yifei's hand away.

The creators chatted for a while, and the premiere organizer came over to talk about the last process.

China Film attaches great importance to today's premiere, and the scale is completely in accordance with the premiere of a super-first-class blockbuster.

There is no need for China Film to invite, many celebrities recommend themselves to participate in the ceremony.

After the process is done, everyone goes to put on makeup.

The red carpet of the premiere starts at 4 p.m. and is expected to last 1 hour and 40 minutes, with 20 minutes set aside for the premiere viewing to start at 6 p.m. on time, followed by an hour of communication time for the main creators.

But at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the red carpet at the entrance of the venue had not yet been laid, and fans had already arrived.

At 3:30, the media entered.

At 3:50, the red carpet ushered in the first celebrity guest - Huang Shengyi.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't have a guest list, but when he heard that she was coming, he also guessed: "The Legend of the White Snake is about to start." ”

After Huang Shengyi, many people came, some of whom Zhang Yuanjun knew and some who didn't.

Some came with publicity tasks, such as Huang Shengyi to promote the upcoming "Legend of the White Snake", Su Zhaobin took Da S to promote the upcoming "Sword Rain", and even Brother Hua came to show his face to build momentum for "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" to be released next month.

There are people who simply come to show their faces and rub the heat, such as Zhang Yuqi and Huo Siyan who Zhang Yuanjun knows but doesn't know.

Of course, Luo Jin, Tang Yan, Zhu Yawen, Xiao Song Jia and others came over to help their friends.

Until half past five, the creator of "Inception" walked on the red carpet.

Nolan, Leonardo, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei all went into battle, which immediately caused a tsunami of screams and cheers from onlookers and media.

"Yifei!!"

"Sissi!"

"Zhang Yuanjun!"

"Leon!"

"Jack! Jack! ”

The four of them walked very slowly, frequently waving to the fans on both sides.

"The Chinese audience is really welcoming." Leon whispered to Zhang Yuanjun, but in fact, he couldn't understand what the fans were shouting.

"Of course, there is the most enthusiastic and tolerant audience here, and you should really come to China more often."

The four of them walked the red carpet and entered the theater.
