Chapter 320: The Premiere and the First Day Box Office
On the day when the premiere of "Three Mountains" was held in Yuming, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang both came to cheer Lu Yanhe.
Nowadays, movie promotion likes to do the link of "celebrity audiences talk about their viewing feelings", and they will also put what they say on the short video platform to promote.
Therefore, this kind of premiere will generally invite many star artists to support the scene, and use their fame and fan power to spread the coverage of the movie.
Because this is not a movie starring Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe didn't think about how big a battle he was going to make, so he asked Li Zhibai and Yan Liang if they were free, and they just happened to be free, so they invited the two of them to come.
In the end, it was a movie that he acted in, no matter how much conflict he had with the publicity party in the early stage, on the eve of the upcoming release, Lu Yanhe still hoped that this movie would achieve good results after all.
After the film screening, there was thunderous applause.
This is also inertial operation.
Usually there is no negative feedback at the premiere of a movie.
Basically, it's either a trust or a human relationship, and you have to praise a few words.
There were many people in the film industry who came to the scene, especially several big directors who attended.
Lu Yanhe followed everyone to the stage.
Chen Jiang and a few of them gave up the C position next to Director Wang Chong to him, but he didn't go, let them go, and stood on the edge by himself.
The host also asked, and said with a smile why Lu Yanhe was so afraid of standing in the C position.
Lu Yanhe said: "They are the leading actors, I just came to make a cameo, this is the time for them to accept everyone's applause." ”
As soon as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, the audience applauded.
The host interviewed the creators one by one.
When asked about Lu Yanhe, he asked: "We all heard that you only filmed this scene for one night, why did you come to make a cameo appearance in this movie at that time?" ”
Lu Yanhe said: "I'll tell you the truth, it was my agent who helped me next, so I came, before this, I haven't seen the movie directed by Wang Chong, and then after that, I watched the movie directed by Wang Chong, and after watching it, I understood why my agent wanted to help me take this movie, even if there is only one shot, it is worth coming, this is a feeling I had after watching the film directed by Wang Chong." ”
The host smiled and said, "Then it seems that Director Wang Chong still treats you very well and gives you ten minutes of footage." ”
"yes." Lu Yanhe immediately smiled and said, "I will treasure these ten minutes of footage." ”
The host asked again: "Your response to director Wang Chong's film style at the Setul Film Festival before caused heated discussions in the world film industry, did you think that it would have such a big impact when you said those words?" ”
Lu Yanhe shook his head, "How could it be." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the host, and the host looked "Huh? Is that all? Lu Yanhe had no choice but to continue: "As an actor, I think it is a very important foundation to be able to feel the charm of various different styles, different themes, and different types of movies, and the interpretation I do is not the real director Wang Chong, that is just the director Wang Chong in my eyes, thousands of people and thousands of faces, a movie like "Three Mountains" must be like this, different people will see different content, this is the moment I think as a participant in a movie, I enjoy the most." ”
……
When it came to the audience's speech, the host was the first to call Li Zhibai's name.
"I heard that Li Zhibai also came to the scene today, where is Zhibai?"
Li Zhibai stood up from the audience and waved to the people on the stage.
Many viewers in the audience immediately took out their mobile phones to take pictures of him.
Li Zhibai said: "Hello Director Wang Chong, I am Li Zhibai, a friend of Lao Lu, first Mao Sui recommend myself, I am also an actor, if you have a role in the future, please also consider me, a shot is fine." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter. There are many actors recommended by Mao Sui, but it is rare for actors to be self-recommended by Mao Sui at the premiere of other people's movies.
However, Li Zhibai has always been deviant, and everyone's impression of him has been formed, and it is not surprising.
Director Wang Chong nodded and said, "I've seen your play." ”
"Huh?" Li Zhibai was surprised, "It won't be "Accompany You to the End of the World", right?" Director, do you also watch idol dramas? ”
Director Wang Chong nodded again and said, "My daughter is your fan, and she pulled me to watch two episodes together." ”
There were many people who were shocked at the scene, mainly because no one thought that director Wang Chong, an artist with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also watch an idol drama like "Accompany You to the End of the World".
Li Zhi laughed twice and said, "Then I thank your daughter so much for letting the director know me." ”
Wang Zhong said: "Next time there is a suitable opportunity, I will look for you." ”
"Okay." Li Zhibai's eyes lit up.
Inexplicably, they greeted each other.
After the greetings, Li Zhibai returned to the truth and talked about his feelings about watching the movie.
"Usually I don't watch this kind of movie much, I'm a layman, I like to watch the kind of film that makes my blood boil a little, but just now I was sitting in the movie theater, from the beginning to the end, engrossed, not exaggerated at all, my attention is always firmly grasped by the picture of the movie, I didn't go out of my mind, I really thought I would not be able to watch it." Li Zhibai held the microphone with both hands, "Actually, I have never seen Director Wang's movies, but it seems that just because I saw everyone's description of Director Wang in the media and on the Internet in the past, I have some stereotypes, what movies are obscure, not good-looking, and today I seem to have gotten a huge surprise, I don't think this movie can be defined as a commercial film - if the standard for measuring commercial films and literary films is whether they are good or not, there is no doubt that this is a very good-looking film, I really think so." ”
Immediately, Wang Chong's fans cheered, meaning that Li Zhibai said it well.
Li Zhibai continued: "The performances of several actors are all great, before watching the movie, there seems to be a feeling that Lao Lu's ten-minute performance is the essence of the movie, in fact, after watching the movie, I found that there are too many wonderful things in this movie, and the actors' performances are also very good, so I have the urge to ask Director Wang for a role just now, they are all very young actors, about the same age as me, and I am very envious to see them able to perform so well in the movie "Three Mountains". ”
After Li Zhibai finished speaking, he returned the microphone to the staff.
Host: "Thank you Zhibai, your sharing can really make us feel your love for this movie, what about you, Yan Liang?" ”
Yan Liang sat next to Li Zhibai.
After being named, Yan Liang stood up and said hello to everyone.
"Li Zhibai has finished everything I want to say, and I don't know what to say." He laughed.
Host: "It's okay, then just say a few words, Li Zhibai was praising others just now, not praising your good brothers, why don't you talk about Lu Yanhe?" ”
"He doesn't have much to say." Yan Liang said immediately.
Lu Yanhe "leaned".
The audience burst into laughter.
Yan Liang: "I felt very shocked after watching it, the kind of shock in my soul, I haven't seen such a movie for a long time, maybe after I go back, it will take a long time to digest the stimulation it brings me." ”
"What kind of stimulus?"
"In the face of desire, in the face of temptation, what kind of choices do people have to make?" Yan Liang said, "This movie is like a kind of unpredictable and bizarre dream, it is far away from our real life, but it seems to vaguely echo the shadows in our hearts, so will it make others think that I am a bad person?" Hahaha. ”
Lu Yanhe immediately answered: "Whoever told you to have nothing to say about me, others must have thought you were a bad person." ”
Laughter again.
Yan Liang smiled.
"All in all, I'm definitely going to watch this movie again, and it's incredible that a movie can bring such an experience after watching it."
-
After the premiere of "Three Mountains", Mikawa held a small media interview.
Lu Yanhe followed the crew to be interviewed and was busy until late.
Wang Chongzhang asked everyone to go to have supper together, and Lu Yanhe said that Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were still waiting for him, and they made an appointment to eat something together.
Wang Zhong said, "Then call them over." ”
Lu Yanhe thought to himself, that is also a good thing.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang are both acting, if they can participate in Wang Chong's movies in the future, of course it is a good thing, even if they can't participate, knowing Wang Chong, maybe there will be a suitable opportunity in the future, and they can be recommended to them through Wang Chong.
Lu Yanhe immediately called Li Zhibai and Yan Liang together.
Chen Ling asked everyone to go to a Chaoshan hot pot restaurant together.
The release date of "Three Mountains" is two days later. The feedback from today's premiere has come out one after another, and many media have given praise, and Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's speeches at the premiere have also been hotly searched by Sanhe Operation.
Just wait for the official release of the movie and see what kind of results can be achieved.
At this time, everyone eats together, and it is inevitable that they can't help but reverie about the box office and the situation after the movie is released.
Especially Chen Jiang and a few of them.
Wang Chong also specifically advised: "You have to act well, ponder your acting skills in a down-to-earth manner, and don't be fluttering because of some praise from the people around you." ”
Chen Jiang and the others nodded immediately.
In front of Wang Chong, Chen Jiang and the others were very well-behaved.
Lu Yanhe is not the same as them.
Chen Jiang and several of them can be regarded as people excavated by Wang Chong, and this kind of friendship is not comparable to Lu Yanhe.
Just like director Luo Yuzhong, for Lu Yanhe, he also has a status that other directors can't match.
It can be said that as long as Luo Yuzhong needs it, Lu Yanhe will definitely help him, no matter the salary, no matter the size of the role.
Wang Chong said again: "You all came out of the movie "Three Mountains", you must support each other in the future, don't quarrel and fight because of some small things in front of you, you learn from a few of them, the friends you knew when you were young, not to mention how strong they are, but they are the purest, help each other, and the road can go further." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Lu Yanhe glanced at Li Zhibai and Yan Liang and smiled.
Acquaintance in a teenager, this is a rare friendship. The more I grow up, the more people I see, and the more I feel like this.
-
In the middle, Wang Chong went outside to answer the phone.
Lu Yanhe went to the bathroom and happened to meet Wang Chong, who was also walking back, in the corridor back.
"Director."
"Xiao Lu, thank you today for inviting Li Zhibai and Yan Liang over."
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang's status in the film industry may not be high, but they are both popular stars at the moment, and their appeal is not small, and they can appear together at the premiere of "Three Mountains", all thanks to Lu Yanhe.
Lu Yanhe shook his head and said, "Director, you are polite, I also have selfish intentions, I hope to introduce them to you." ”
Wang Zhong smiled.
He said: "You are such a good young man, I only worked with you for one night about the movie, but I have experienced a lot of things outside the movie, and your response and courage have surprised me." ”
Lu Yanhe hurriedly shook his head and chuckled.
"What's the matter, if you praise me like this, I'm almost ashamed."
"Chen Jiang and several of them were selected by me to play this play, from the selection of them, to training, and now, in three or four years, they have acted in my play, I don't know if it delayed them, after all, there are many scenes in the middle to find them, and they have to push them off." Wang Zhong said, "In addition to acting, you also write scripts and produce by yourself, and if you have a good opportunity, please support them more." ”
"Director, I will do my best." Lu Yanhe said.
Wang nodded emphatically.
"After winning the Best Director at the Setul Film Festival, everyone looked at me with respect, respecting me like a master, as if something had changed dramatically, but in fact, I have always been who I am, nothing has changed." Wang Zhong smiled, "I'm ashamed to say that the impact of this huge fame and fortune on me, I didn't experience it until this time, in this regard, you are my senior, your calm bearing, really impresses me, not like a young man in his early twenties." ”
Lu Yanhe: "Director, you are serious, you have always put all your thoughts and concentration on making movies, so you didn't bother to deal with these things before, I was often forced to Liangshan, I had to face it, forced myself to change, and made myself look calm, but in fact it was not." ”
Wang Zhong glanced at Lu Yanhe deeply and smiled slightly.
-
On the first day of the release of "Three Mountains", the box office pre-sale was 3.72 million, and the film was scheduled for 12%.
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang each chartered the venue and invited their fans to watch the movie.
"Jump Up" launched the "Three Mountains" film review, and launched the ""Three Mountains" Movie Viewing Essay", and the selected candidates can get remuneration and publish it on the "Jump Up" self-media.
Lu Yanhe filmed in the crew of "Twilight Spring" and opened a ten-minute live broadcast to tell some tidbits about himself and the film "Three Mountains" at the Seatur Film Festival.
The Youth Association of Zhenhua University announced that the "Wang Chong and His Films" forum will be held in seven days, and Wang Chong, the winner of the Best Director at the Situr Film Festival, will be invited to give a speech.
Yemai.com cooperated with many movie bloggers under its umbrella to organize a movie-watching event.
……
These are not propaganda activities arranged by Sanhe, but all from the power of Lu Yanhe.
Chen Siqi posted a Weibo, saying: I didn't want to spend so much effort to help promote a movie that is not starring Lu Yanhe, but he has a sentence that is very right, even if this movie does not feature him, he will be honored to participate in the filming of this movie, which is worth it.
With the help of all parties, the first-day box office of "Three Mountains" sold 19.27 million, plus the 860,000 previously screened, the first-day box office exceeded 20 million, much higher than the 10.5 million forecast given by professional box office forecasting agencies.
Lu Yanhe only posted a congratulatory picture of the official box office breaking 20 million on the first day at this time, saying: Thank you.
Many fans celebrated from afar.
However, there are also some black fans who sneered and laughed at Lu Yanhe's huge movie, and the box office on the first day was only 20 million, which was not even as high as an old film released last Friday.
Lu Yanhe didn't say anything.
Fans fought back angrily, emphasizing what a good box office result this is for a literary film.
The next day, Saturday.
Box office pre-sale numbers and increases are not significant.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, the daily box office will pass 10 million.
It seems that the box office on Saturday is even lower than on Friday.
This box office figure allowed more sunspots to find a point of attack, and then began to say that Lu Yanhe's fans' combat effectiveness was not sustainable, and the box office declined the next day.
Generally speaking, the box office on Saturday is much higher than on Friday.
Lu Yanhe himself actually felt strange.
However, after the research of professional box office data agencies, a conclusion was reached that yesterday's box office mainly relied on Lu Yanhe's fans to watch the movie to reach such a figure, and today it lost this part of the audience, revealing the real market situation of this movie.
This data analysis has spread in the industry, on the one hand, it is regretted that the film did not achieve better box office results after all, and on the other hand, it is surprised by Lu Yanhe's ability to lead the box office.
A movie that is not starring him, but the box office on the first day mainly relies on him to support it.
It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable.
It's just a ten-minute cameo in a movie that can have such results, so what will it be like when it comes to the movie starring Lu Yanhe?
Many people have such a question in their minds subconsciously.
In the end, the box office of "Three Mountains" on Saturday was fixed at 15.3 million, and the total box office exceeded 35 million yuan.
This is already the best result of Wang Chong's film at the domestic box office.
The box office of the movie is expected to exceed 50 million, which surprises Sanhe.
They all gave up a bit.
Before the release, there were so many moths, Lu Yanhe and Wang Chong did not cooperate with their publicity strategy, so that they had nothing to do, slapped each other in the face, and their reputation was poor.
Unexpectedly.
Those in the industry were pleasantly surprised by such a figure.
But people who don't know how to do it all take great pains to talk about Lu Yanhe's redness, whether it is false red or not.
"It's a joke, the previous posture seemed to be a superstar, but I didn't expect the movie to show its original form as soon as it was released, and the box office may not break 60 million. What happened to literary films? Literary films are the most tests of an actor's ability to carry the box office. Yu Jiang said sarcastically, "So many people help to promote, and it is said that it is the highest-selling magazine in China to cooperate with the essay competition, and it is the highest university to do the director's forum, what kind of box office do you think it can make, if other movies have such help, it will break 100 million on the first day." ”
Chen Siqi reposted her Weibo and said: "On how big a person's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open can be - the first-day box office record of our domestic literary films is still maintained by director Zhang Haizhou, 84.2 million on the first day, which 100 million do you break?" Don't you look down on other people's goodness, and you're so jealous that you emit a sour smell like a sour cucumber? ”
A group of people swiped under Chen Siqi's Weibo:
- Sister 66666!
- I like to watch my sister squirt this old witch.
- I really want to know, how much grudge you have against Teacher Yu Jiang and let her keep an eye on you?
……
At this time, "Movie Jianghu" magazine disclosed a data, the production cost of "Three Mountains" is only 17 million, and the publicity and distribution cost is only 3 million, adding up to a total of 20 million.
Chen Siqi in the comment area @Yujiang: "Teacher Yu, does the movie adapted from your work have such results?" Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot, your work hasn't been adapted into a movie, and I don't know what the movie is, no wonder you can only watch the excitement as a layman, and you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. ”
When Yu Jiang saw Chen Siqi @ what she said, he was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.
"How can a young girl speak so harshly and viciously?" Yu Jiang's friend Kim Hye-so saw Yu Jiang's imminent anger and immediately said something.
Yu Jiang sneered and said, "A girl of this age is really rude and has no tutor. ”
"Alas, don't blame her for this, after all, she hasn't had her biological mother to discipline her since she was a child." Kim Hye-so said.
"Huh?" When Yu Jiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sister Jin, do you know her?" ”
"I don't know her, but I've heard that her family and my husband's business intersect." Kim Hye-so smiled and said, "I also met her stepmother once before, she is a person who is used to acting, you know, I am the most annoying kind of person, so there is no intersection after meeting once." ”
Yu Jiang smiled and said, "Sister Jin, I am also the most annoyed by this kind of person, but every time I have to be sarcastic by this girl, I get angry when I think about it, I really want to find a way to cure her." ”
Kim Hye-so glanced at her, "What do you do like a young girl?" She is now proud, talking to the sky, after a few years, when she touches a nail, her temper will naturally improve, someone will teach her a lesson to eat, you a big writer stretch out this hand. ”
"Alas, Sister Jin, I have been provoked by her again and again, how can I endure this fire." Yu Jiang said immediately.
Kim Hye-so: "I can't help you with that. ”
When Yu Jiang heard this, his heart sank instantly.
But Kim Hye-so is not someone she can offend, people can't help, and she can't shake her face.
"Okay, then I'll figure it out myself." Yu Jiang sighed and made a helpless and pitiful look.
-
On Sunday, the box office of "Three Mountains" fell slightly again, only getting a daily box office of 13 million, and the box office reached 48 million yuan in the first weekend, almost exceeding 50 million.
Although this number is not enough to see in the entire film market, "Three Mountains" still celebrates itself.
Every time 10 million is exceeded, a celebration poster will be issued.
In this way, "Three Mountains" is already expected to exceed 60 million at the total box office.
That's enough to shock the industry. After all, there is not a single star starring in this movie, and the production cost is only 17 million.
Lu Yanhe is also very happy, he has no specific expectations for how high the box office will be, and only hopes that the projects he participates in will at least not lose money.
No matter how much he pursues art and ideals, Lu Yanhe doesn't want things to become a loss-making business.
Wang Chongdu said that everyone says that he is an art film director, but he controls the budget very seriously for each film, and he is eager to break one dollar into two dollars, just to reduce the pressure on return to the capital, so that investors can make a little more money.
He is not the kind of director who only cares about making the movies he wants to make when he gets the investment, and doesn't care about the life or death of the investor.
Fortunately, the cost of each of his films is not high, and he can take the path of international copyright sales, so he did not let the investors lose money, and basically every film can rely on the follow-up long-term copyright income to make a profit. It's just that the profit is not much.
"Three Mountains" is the most profitable film since Wang Chong became a director.
The overseas copyright income has now reached 20 million, and the current domestic theater box office can earn another 20 million.
Coupled with the copyright sales of video platforms, TV stations and other aspects, the expected income of this film can reach more than 50 million.
For a film with a production cost of only 17 million, it is very profitable.
Industry analysts attribute the film's success to Wang Chong's award at the Sytur Film Festival and Lu Yanhe's participation.
Because of the success of the movie "Three Mountains" at the theater box office, director Wang Chong has also gained a group of new fans.
His previous films have also ushered in a new wave of audiences on the video platform, bringing him a new revenue share.
At this time, Lu Yanhe received a bonus from Chen Ling, totaling five million.
Lu Yanhe was surprised.
When Chen Ziyan heard this, she was even more surprised.
"Although the income of this movie is almost 50 million, if you really want to get so much money, it is estimated that it will take half a year to return the money, and moreover, the bulk of the money will be distributed to Sanhe, and Chen Ling and Wang Chong's production company will not get half of it." Chen Ziyan said, "They are really generous. ”
Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Ziyan, should we return this money?" ”
"Then you don't need it, this is what you deserve, without you, how can you sell such a high box office." Chen Ziyan said.
"This bonus...... Do you want to report to the company? Divide into? ”
"Actually, you don't say it yourself, and no one says anything, but for the sake of insurance, in order not to have more trouble in the future, I think it's better to share it with the company according to the contract, anyway, with the money you make every year, now the account with the company is 7:3, and you take the lion's share."
"Okay."
The reason why Chen Ziyan suggested Lu Yanhe to do this was to avoid future troubles.
The bonus, in the final analysis, is also a supplement to the salary, because of the remuneration received for starring in this movie.
From the terms of the contract signed by Lu Yanhe with the company, it belongs to the marginal ball area, which can be covered in the remuneration and related income, and can also be interpreted as a bonus paid by the producer and director of the production company because of Lu Yanhe's personal performance, which is of a private nature.
Chen Ziyan felt that there was no need to leave this hidden danger, the main reason was that Lu Yanhe is very popular now, and he sees that the future will be even more popular, and the contract between him and Xingyu can be renegotiated and re-signed within a year, and there is no need to leave a handle at this time.

The week after the release of "Three Mountains", on a weekday, one night, when work was finished early, Liu Bige beckoned everyone to watch "Three Mountains".
Lu Yanhe chartered a scene, please watch this movie.
Because of filming before, none of them have seen this movie yet.
When everyone watched this movie, their expressions when they looked at Lu Yanhe changed.
He Qingqing was the first to say: "Lu Yanhe, I finally know why everyone praises you for being a genius, I filmed "Twilight Spring" with you, I only think you acted well, but I didn't think you acted so well, your ten minutes in "Three Mountains" made me sweat and hair, how can you act so well." ”
"I've been hit." Kong Fan was also dumbfounded and said, "I can't believe that it only took you one night to shoot this scene." ”
Lu Yanhe: "Okay, okay, don't boast." ”
He had a smile on his face.
Liu Bige patted Lu Yanhe's shoulder with his right hand and said, "You are putting me under a lot of pressure." ”
Lu Yanhe: "Huh? "Yes.
Liu Bige said: "After watching "Three Mountains", I think my requirements for you are still too low, and you still have a lot of potential to explore? ”
"What do you mean?"
Liu Bige said: "In the future, your play will start with at least ten plays." ”
"Huh?" Lu Yanhe's eyes widened, "Isn't it?" ”
Liu Bige nodded, his face was excited, and his eyes revealed fanaticism, "You have to show this level of performance in "Twilight Spring"!" ”
Lu Yanhe: "...... That's hard to come by. ”
"Are you saying that the script of 'Twilight' is not good?" Liu Bige asked.
"It's two styles entirely."
"But the extreme is the same." After Liu Bige finished speaking, he looked at Yan Lingyu and the others, "You are the same, think about it, maybe a year later, today, you will see your performance on the big screen, what kind of mood do you hope the audience sitting in the cinema will watch this movie, and what kind of impression do you want them to leave on you?" The protagonists of "Three Mountains" are all young people, about the same age as you, can you leave a deep impression on the film industry like them? ”
Yan Lingyu and Kong Fan looked at each other, as if they were not confident.
Liu Bige said seriously: "Believe me, my requirements for you are no lower than those of Director Wang Chong, although I am just a rookie director, this is my first time making a movie, but I know what a good movie is, I know what a good movie looks like, I tell you very clearly, "Twilight Spring" must be a movie that will go down in film history, what you act, what you will go down in film history." ”
Liu Bige's words were loud.
Lu Yanhe wanted to ask if it was a bit exaggerated, but seeing the determined light in Liu Bige's eyes, he closed his mouth again.
This moment is Liu Bige's directorial moment.
As an actor, if he doesn't support at this time, when will he do it? -
Two more 8,000 words, ask for a monthly ticket! (End of chapter)
