Chapter 691: May

Liu Yifei stayed in Rome for 10 days, and she returned to China after the May Day holiday in China.

The theater arranged drama activities on campus, and it was necessary to use Liu Yifei's appeal in the student group to run it well, and Liu Yifei naturally responded.

However, when Liu Yifei got off the plane, what she got was not the performance arrangement, but the summary of the May Day schedule.

Very undesirable.

The champion of the schedule is the domestic film "North West 2", with an income of 329 million in 3 days during the holiday, which looks very good, but the runner-up is "Fantasy Forest", which has been released for half a month during the holiday, with an income of 170 million in three days, and the third place is actually a domestic horror film, called "The Phantom of the Demon Palace".

The national box office in three days was 655 million, a slight increase of 5% year-on-year, and the average daily box office was only 220 million, and the single film of "North West 2" ate nearly half of the market.

This kneeling caused an uproar in the circle!

The effect is also remarkable, and the film schedule of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" has risen in response, and the results have gradually increased.

Fan Bingbing also said, "Do what you can for the filmmakers you respect in your heart", and selected the audience on Weibo to watch "Hundred Birds and Phoenix".

"After getting married, the script handed to me was 2/3 less."

That's where actresses get tough.

"Pieces of a Woman" occupies the right time and place, and it is only more than 200 million and less than 300 million.

Sometimes it's really a movie made with a lot of blood.

But the 5% growth at the box office has clearly not kept pace with the growth of these infrastructures.

"What?"

After the May 1st file, everyone in the circle knew that the market was going to be handed over to "American Team 3", and even the big winner of the May 1st file, "North West 2", was not struggling.

As soon as Tang Yan saw her, he complained: "It's different when you're married." ”

"I hope you can recommend "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" on Weibo and Moments."

…………

After chatting for a while, Liu Yifei asked Tang Yan: "When are you going to have a child?" ”

Liu Yifei has made several literary films in recent years, and has a deep understanding of the plight of literary films.

Liu Yifei's literary film can sell 60 million, even if it is a big success, breaking 100 million is worth good news.

This film is called "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", the posthumous work of director Wu Tianming.

After the death of the director, no company took over the film, from editing to publicity to theaters, it all relied on the support of private volunteers.

Three days after Liu Yifei left Rome, the crew of "Fast Pursuit 2" ended filming in Rome and went to Canada.

In addition, her own dedication is not as heavy as in previous years, less books, less books, family is still more important, unlike someone, who panics and is anxious if she doesn't join the group for more than half a month.

After Liu Yifei returned to China, she gradually became busy.

The latest "Wang Xiaofang", if it weren't for Liu Yifei as the starring role, with Ning Ying's name, it would be difficult to find a distributor in the circle to take over after filming without a issuing company in advance.

Xu Zheng posted two Weibo posts at 8 o'clock in the evening, one calling for the establishment of an art theater and the other cheering for "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".

The film will be released in China on July 1 to open the summer file.

However, Tang Yan does not regret getting married, she has the "Four Famous Catches" series and two "North West", which is somewhat famous in the film industry.

As a result, as soon as the painting opened, only 1.9% of the films were scheduled by "American Team 3", with a box office of 270,000 on the first day.

On the evening of the 12th, Fang Li, a well-known producer in the circle, knelt down on a live broadcast platform and begged for a film: "As long as you (the theater manager) can arrange a golden field for us this weekend, my boss is willing to kneel for you." ”

The number of films produced is growing every year, and the number of theaters and screens is also changing with each passing day.

The 3-day holiday is too short, and domestic blockbusters are reluctant to enter, but the audience's demand is there, so it has caused the current scene.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't have much work in the second half of the year, "The Invisible Guest" confirmed to participate in the Shanghai Film Festival, and the copy of the film has been submitted to the official, but before the Film Festival, he will first go to the Cannes trading market to sell it.

Experts, scholars and relevant departments have not yet realized that "the market is cooling, and the audience demand is indeed still there, but the growth rate is slowing down, indicating that the audience is moving away from the cinema." This is what Zhang Yuanjun summarized when he held a work meeting with the studio in the second half of the year.

"Redemption" couldn't make it to Cannes, and I was thinking about whether to go to Venice or another film festival.

And he is not the producer and investor of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", he is the person in charge of the film's voluntary publicity, and Wu Tianming's daughter handed over the film to him, in other words, he does not profit from "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix".

After Liu Yifei returned to China, her life was very nourishing, her work intensity was not high, and her good neighbor and sister Tang Yan prepared "East Palace" wholeheartedly and stayed in the capital, and the two met from time to time, as if they were the first in the world.

Zhang Yuanjun is a descendant of Cannes, and he may not be able to get cheap when he goes to Venice, but not to win an award, a trip to Venice can be regarded as an official debut in the world film industry, Zhang Yuanjun has no objection to which film festival to go to, and he is not very keen on awards now.

There are other events and invitations that I can't say much about.

This is very scary, so everyone thinks that Zhang Yuanjun is alarmist.

On the second day of this kneeling, half of the entertainment industry spontaneously promoted "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" in various ways.

Zhang Yuanjun did not give a specific explanation.

"I finally understand why you made a show for yourself so early." In the past, Tang Yan really didn't understand that some people like Liu Yifei asked her to film, why she switched to filming in her 20s and filmed for herself, and now she has realized the different treatment of actresses before and after marriage.

But there are people who want to go up.

Liu Yifei and Chen Zhixi have been staring at the later stage of "Wang Xiaofang", and they should be able to complete all the work and send it to Venice this month.

I just gave you a queen trophy last year, and it's a bit unreasonable for you to take a new film to another place this year.

In order to raise domestic films, "Fantasy Forest" was advanced, "London Has Fallen" was advanced, and "American Team 3" was pressed after the holiday.

After the end of the schedule, the academic community is reflecting on this phenomenon, and finally came to the conclusion that there is no problem with the film, and there is no problem with the market, but there is a problem with the schedule.

This data reflects a very bad reality.

On this day, Liu Yifei came back from a performance in other places and asked Tang Yan to come home for afternoon tea.

It's very hard.

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "I was too young, and people who wanted to shoot didn't look for me, and those who wanted to shoot didn't want to act much, so I got it myself." ”

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei also reacted quickly, and also called on netizens on Weibo to support "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", and each contributed 100 movie tickets.

The audience's demand for blockbusters is still strong, but there are no blockbusters in the market, especially domestic films, for the audience.

In January, it was decided to set it for May 6th, and at that time, I didn't expect it to be installed with "American Team 3".

It should be too good during the live broadcast, and I didn't restrain it.

There is some truth to this, but the reality may be even worse.

But there are still no domestic films willing to come in this year's May Day, and only one "North West 2" is supported alone.

In the second half of the year, Zhang Yuanjun had two plays in the theater, a classic play and a new play, and the folk theater troupe outside also invited him to rehearse.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei both know Fang Li, this old brother has a bit of a temper, and he will not deliberately play the dirty trick of kneeling marketing.

"We all want to have it early, but we have to wait until the filming of "East Palace" is finished, and after so many years, we can't delay it any longer." Tang Yan said, "You should have it too." ”

Liu Yifei was stunned, as if there was something wrong.
