Guo Jingming's expectation for "Small Times 4" is 800 million, but the movie has come so far, and the results are very inconsistent with Director Guo's expectations, breaking 360 million in 4 days in the first weekend, 400 million in 6 days, and the daily increase in the latest week is only 5 million.

The performance of "Gardenia Blossom" is very good, exceeding 100 million on the first day and 250 million in 3 days on the first weekend, which is already very, very good for a debut film.

More than half of the results of youth films will be produced in the first week, which is the consensus in the industry, "Small Times 4" and "Gardenia Bloom", whether they meet the director's expectations or not, the results on paper are very good.

But this year's summer file, especially in July, the protagonists are "The Return of the Great Sage" and "Pancake Man", as well as the radish essence "Monster Hunt", which they say is cute, but Zhang Yuanjun thinks it is ugly!

At the summer promotion meeting, many people praised "The Return of the Great Sage", but no one thought that this movie would be a big hit, because its publicity was too little, and what could it do with the few people who were brought in by the offline test screening.

But no one expected that "The Return of the Great Sage" would teach a lesson to all those who do film marketing and promotion.

The term "tap water" has officially entered the media eye.

The tap water promoted the film for free, made a loud voice on the Internet, coupled with the good quality of "The Return of the Great Sage", after the first day, its box office and word-of-mouth soared, helping the film to exceed 100 million in the first weekend and break 300 million in 7 days.

The limelight overshadowed "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", and also overshadowed "Small Times 4" and "Gardenia Bloom".

People seem to have really seen the revival of Guoman.

Breaking 300 million in 7 days can only be regarded as a small explosion in a feature film, but it is called a big explosion in an animated movie, and people are willing to give animated films treatment beyond specifications.

For a time, "The Return of the Great Sage" has become a new benchmark and new hope for Guoman.

Even Zhang Yuanjun rubbed a wave of popularity and spontaneously sent a congratulatory Weibo to "The Return of the Great Sage".

And when everyone was immersed in the joy that "The Return of the Great Sage" will lead the re-emergence of Guoman, "Pancake Man" rushed to the ground.

There is no reason, except that it is the only comedy in July, there is no other reason at all.

It's a big seller!

139 million on the first day and 423 million on the first weekend.

Even producer Chen Zhixi didn't expect it to explode like this, and she set an expectation of 300 million-500 million for "Pancake Man".

However, the box office of "Pancake Man" exploded, but the online word-of-mouth was a mess.

There is a question here, since the reputation is not good, why can the movie be a big hit?

It seems that there are still a large number of people who don't read comments on the Internet, and some people watch comedies and don't care about the structure and the ups and downs, and it's worth the money if they can make people laugh.

Moreover, Da Peng found a very convenient road, and he brought his feelings.

Youth films also sell feelings, why can't comedies sell feelings?

I really made the right bet on him.

However, Da Peng's money is earned, but it will take him a long time to repay the debt of "Pancake Man", because many viewers who have watched "Pancake Man" will react afterwards, this is indeed a bad movie.

Grandson, you fooled me with this kind of film at that time?

And Chen Zhixi's name was officially launched in the film "Pancake Man".

The director needs to bear the influence of the film's word-of-mouth, but the producer is only responsible for making money, if it was luck to bet on "Thai Embarrassment" before, then this bet on "Pancake Man" can no longer be attributed to luck.

Don't forget, "Miss Bai", which allowed Liu Yifei to win the Saint-Sai film, was also produced by her.

Commercial literature and art are blooming, and this woman really has a bit of strength in her.

After "Pancake Man", the one who benefited the most was really Chen Zhixi, and the bosses are now rushing to ask her about the project and send her money.

Chen Zhixi is easy to speak: "I still have a literary theme in my hand, talking about women's depression after marriage." ”

Investors don't talk again.

Looking for you, you must be investing in commercial films and making money, who still invests in literary films now.

"Monster Hunt" is even more outrageous.

170 million on the first day and 669 million on the first weekend!

The whole schedule is completely insane!

Lantai and Anle Pictures are very powerful, and they have made a lot of commotion on this film, including but not limited to buying box office, locking the scene, ghost scenes, fictitious attendance rates, etc.

But in the end, the producer has hands and eyes, it's not that no one reacts, many people on the Internet are talking about the operation of "Monster Hunt", but the regulatory authorities are silent at this time.

The producer's unscrupulous increase in the box office is most likely due to the change of male lead to reshooting, resulting in a serious budget overrun.

The film was originally scheduled to be Ke Zhendong, but it was blocked.

Anle Pictures had to pay another 70 million to ask Jing Boran to save the scene and make up the film, with an additional cost of 70 million, an additional profit pressure of 210 million.

But man's greed is limitless, and the development of the situation is uncontrolled. The producer will not stop after charging an extra 210 million to return to the capital, and the situation is developing in an even more incredible direction.

"Monster Hunt" aims for the champion of film history!

may also be for this reason that the relevant departments are silent, and they also hope that the throne of the champion of film history will be a domestic film, not a "Fast and Furious 7" about racing.

There is such a big movement in the market, but Zhang Yuanjun is buried in the crew, and Liu Yifei has no public activities, and the reporter just wants to ask them what they think of each film, but no one can be found.

At noon on the day when "Monster Hunt" broke 700 million, the crew of "Invisible Guest" completed all the filming of the film in Beijing downstairs in Block A of the International Trade Building.

In the afternoon, the crew drove to Min Province and finished it in 2-3 weeks.

Zhang Yuanjun's scene was filmed a few days earlier, and he had already rushed to the Tianbaoyan Nature Reserve in Min Province in advance to prepare.

I have to say that the mountains are really cool, Zhang Yuanjun lives in a scenic hotel, and he doesn't want to leave.

Before the crew started the film, he got up before six o'clock every day, ran in the mountains to absorb oxygen, and ate local mountain delicacies every day, which was very healthy.

It's a bit of a clumsy South Mountain.

"It's comfortable in the mountains." Zhang Yuanjun and his wife were seer, "You can come often in the summer in the future to escape the heat." ”

"Do you have a lot of tourists?" Liu Yifei said.

"There are quite a lot of people, but there are many fewer than Wuyi Mountain. After you are busy with this time, come and stay with me for a few days," Zhang Yuanjun invited his wife over, "The environment is good, the air is good, and the food is good." We stayed here for a few days and said we didn't want to go back. ”

"How can I have time," Liu Yifei said with a smile, "The crew has a lot of things, and now there is still a shortage of money, I want to make up for it myself, and I don't want to drag it out any longer." ”

"I didn't have much money to make up for it, and it wasn't worth it for my wife to be tired of that money." The first half of the sentence is quite serious, and the second half of the sentence begins to float.

"Phew, you still feel sorry for me?" Liu Yifei didn't buy it.

"Is Venice going to be on the list?" Zhang Yuanjun asked suddenly.

"yes, it's going to come out this month." Liu Yifei is expected to be almost soon, and she is confident that she will be shortlisted, "Zhang Yimou, it won't be impossible to enter the main competition." ”

"The Invisible Guest" restarted in Tianbaoyan Scenic Area, and five days later, the Venice Film Festival officially announced the list of judges for the main competition.

The chairman is Alfonso Cuarón, and the first judge under his name is Hou Xiaoxian.

Zhang Yuanjun saw it and smiled. (End of chapter)
