Feng Xiaogang's appeal in the Lunar New Year stalls has been painstakingly managed for more than ten years.

He himself, including Huayi Company, has great confidence in him.

But this year something went wrong.

The battle with the theater chain has not had a result so far, and Huayi really doesn't dare to run out of stock.

Another reason is that Li An's "Youth Pi" is here.

Li An's films have not been very good at the domestic box office before, and few people are optimistic about its performance in China before the release of "Life of Pi".

However, since the release of "Youth Pi" on the 22nd, it has aroused great discussion, and this film is considered by the media to be a masterpiece that surpasses "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Lust and Caution".

"The culmination of Li An's Eastern philosophical speculation."

As of the 25th, the total domestic box office of "Youth Pi" has exceeded 90 million, moving towards the 100 million yuan mark.

Huayi and Xingmei began to worry that "Life of Pi" would affect "1942" and "The King's Feast".

Zhang Yuanjun was warmly welcomed by reporters when he arrived at the premiere site, and he wanted to enter the venue after signing his name, but was left on the red carpet by the host for an interview.

congratulated Zhang Yuanjun on winning the Golden Horse as usual, and thanked him for coming to the premiere of "1942".

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Now I just want to sit down and watch the movie." It's still cold out there today. "Zhang Yuanjun only wore a casual suit today.

The host smiled and gave up the plan to interview again: "Okay, then we thank Zhang Yuanjun for coming to our premiere, please Yuanjun enter the venue, and our premiere will start immediately." ”

Zhang Yuanjun entered the venue, the premiere of "1942" was held with a bit of tricks, the organizer imitated the form of a conference held in a state-owned factory in the last century, and set up a long table on the stage, and then all the main creators of the crew sat on it and collectively accepted the media torture.

It's very novel, but I don't know if this group of people will be able to carry it at that time.

The first few rows of the venue are naturally reserved for the media, and the celebrity guests are seated a little back.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the organizer or randomly, Zhang Yuanjun is Zhang Ziyi on the left, and Li Bingbing is on the right.

Zhang Yuanjun arrived relatively late, there was an empty seat between the two big flowers, no one paid attention to anyone, neither of them looked at each other, and they didn't talk to the people next to them to relieve their boredom.

"Yuanjun, you sit there." The staff pointed to the position in the middle of the two big flowers, and Zhang Yuanjun looked at one head and two big ones.

He didn't want to sit between the two.

Xiao Zhao also knew that Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to sit down, and was about to ask the staff to change positions, but Li Bingbing saw him first and greeted: "Yuanjun, you are here too." Are you sitting here? Come. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Zhang Yuanjun.

Speaking of which, it is impossible to change positions if you want to, Zhang Yuanjun handed Xiao Zhao a look and asked her not to change it.

Zhang Yuanjun walked over and said with a smile: "Yes, I've always wanted to come and see "1942". ”

Zhang Yuanjun sat down, and Zhang Ziyi said: "I haven't congratulated you yet, the Three Golden Actors, a great achievement." ”

"False name, hehe." Zhang Yuanjun laughed dryly.

Zhang Ziyi has been extremely unhappy in the past two years, the N-heavy door incident almost hammered her to death, the line of her good friend Deng Wendi in Hollywood was also broken, the producer's work has not improved, and the films she has made have not made any money, but there have been movies every year in the past few years, but the results are very average, and she can't make a splash, causing her exposure to be lower and lower, and the media reputation is getting worse and worse.

All her treasures are now betting on "The Grandmaster" to be released in January next year, hoping that Wang Jiawei can take her to turn over and sweep away the bad luck.

She knows Zhang Yuanjun, but the two are not particularly familiar, but now people and dogs in the circle want to catch up with Zhang Yuanjun.

"Do you have any arrangements for next year?" inquired about Zhang Yuanjun's film appointment for next year, "I haven't been in the group for a year, I think you can't hold it back." ”

"I'm not in a hurry at all, I'll read it slowly, and I'll make an appointment to talk if I have a good book." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

Over there, Li Bingbing said: "I've watched several of your films, and the acting is really good, especially "Her", the heroine is fully dubbed, this idea is really unthinkable for ordinary screenwriters." ”

"Didn't I say it before on Bay Island, my brother studied computers, and this is the idea he gave me."

Li Bingbing continued: "I heard that you were going to make such a film at the beginning of last year, and I thought it was very funny, and I originally wanted to contact your producer to try the play, but I didn't expect the role of Cici to be prepared for Yifei." Make me happy in vain. ”

Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "I wanted to find an actor with better voice conditions at the beginning, but she pestered me at the creative stage of the script, and I was annoyed by her before I agreed to let her act." ”

Li Bingbing took the opportunity to say: "Then there will be such a fun character in the future, remember to call me." ”

Zhang Yuanjun nodded with a smile and said that next time he must be.

Zhang Ziyi asked, "What are you doing with this event?" ”

"There are a few interviews later, and it must be done late at night, and people are in a hurry to broadcast it tomorrow."

"Let's have a meal together after the event, I have several activities in the future, and I have to be busy until late." Zhang Ziyi invited.

Zhang Yuanjun was stunned for a few seconds, and then refused: "It's too late, it's dawn after eating, I'm going to turn around for a day, and I want to go back to bed early." ”

Zhang Ziyi used a joke to resolve the embarrassment of rejection: "Don't worry about Yifei being at home alone." ”

Zhang Yuanjun smiled and did not deny it.

Not long after, the premiere officially began.

Feng Xiaogang not only innovated the form, but even saved the press conference of the general premiere.

The main creator sat in a row facing the media, Feng Xiaogang thought very well, but including himself, he failed to answer the reporter's questions well.

asked: "The role of newcomer Zhang Mo is very heavy, is it because his father is Zhang Guoli?" What does Zhang Mo think of himself, how do Feng Xiaogang as a director and Zhang Guoli as a father evaluate Zhang Mo's performance? ”

Zhang Mo said: "I am really excited to play a lot of roles, but I also feel a lot of pressure. Because I am young, I have no bottom in my heart, but I can have this opportunity, and my heart is still beautiful. ”

Feng Xiaogang played Tai Chi: "One or two sentences are not clear, and the audience will know why I chose Zhang Mo after watching it." Guoli did not recommend his son. But for what I chose, of course, Guoli was very willing. ”

Zhang Guoli said: "Don't let me evaluate, everyone will understand why the director chose him after watching it." Anyway, the director was very satisfied with him. ”

asked again: "The film invites so many big names, how to give back to everyone if the box office is high?" ”

Feng Xiaogang: "There is no rush in this matter, no director makes a film in the hope that the box office will not be good." As for the rest, people have been hungry for a long time, and they can't be given food right away, so they have to take it slowly. ”

The main one is to avoid the truth and avoid the false, and do not answer the reporter positively.

The reporter asked Zhang Guoli and Chen Daoming: "You have all played Jiang, how do you interpret this role?" How does the director evaluate Chen Daoming's performance in "1942"? ”

Chen Daoming said his first and last sentence in the whole event: "Don't say it, leave time for other creators." ”

Zhang Guoli said: "I agree with Mr. Daoming's opinion. ”

Feng Xiaogang asked the reporter rhetorically: "What do you think of Chen Daoming's performance?" ”

The atmosphere of the whole event was very weird, Zhang Yuanjun and the two big flowers next to him looked at each other, and they couldn't understand why it was like this.

After the question session, Huayi, the distributor of the film, unexpectedly invited the CEOs of Wanda, New Film Federation, Magic City Lianhe, China Film Southern Shinkansen, and Jinyi Zhujiang five major cinema lines.

Zhao Jun issued a notice on behalf of 30 theaters across the country, determining that the proportion of "1942" will be 43% of the distributor and 57% of the theater chain within the box office of 300 million, the part of the box office exceeding 300 million yuan will be carried out according to 45% to 55%, and the box office of more than 800 million yuan will be carried out according to 47% to 53%.

Huayi openly betrayed the publisher alliance.

Zhang Yuanjun shook his head secretly when he watched from the audience, and his arms couldn't twist his thighs.

Kneel, make money, don't chill. (End of chapter)
