The next day, Cao Ping met Wong Kar-wai, and all the main creative staff of the film are currently running around in Beijing, as the first stop of the premiere, everyone is making the final sprint. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Director Wang was very busy and was negotiating with the representatives of the theater chain, and when he learned that Cao Ping was coming, he found a person from the publicity and distribution team to take Cao Ping to Yuan Heping.

As a film that has been established for nearly ten years, "The Grandmaster" can be said to have whetted the audience's appetite. Since Wong Kar-wai registered the script of "The Grandmaster" in 2001 and announced the starring role in 02, the news has been continuous during the period, Tony Leung apprenticed to Ip Man's son Ye Zhun to learn Wing Chun, and the news that Wong Kar-wai and Tony Leung presented plaques to Wing Chun Gate often appeared in the media.

But in 2003, because another Wong Kar-wai film "2046" entered an intense production period, the filming of "The Grandmaster" was suspended. In 2004, when promoting "2046" in Cannes, the filming of "The Grandmaster" was put on the agenda again, and it was not until 2005 that Wong Kar-wai filmed another "Hand of Eros", and the filming of "The Grandmaster" did not have an eyebrow.

In 2007, the audience who was hung up on their appetite let Huang Baiming see the market and seize the time to shoot "Ip Man". At this time, "The Grandmaster" had not yet started filming, and even Tony Leung said in an interview: "After filming "Red Cliff", "The Grandmaster" will be filmed next, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make this movie if I am older." ”

In May 2008, "Ip Man" was released and became an instant hit, and Donnie Yen reversed his image in one fell swoop with this movie and created a new image of the grandmaster. In December of the same year, Wong Kar-wai began to prepare for the filming of "The Grandmaster", and went to the crew of "Su Qier" to invite Yuan Heping to be the martial artist, and "The Grandmaster" officially began to prepare for filming.

During the filming, this movie also attracted the attention of the media, due to Wong Kar-wai's strict protection of the filming, the media can only find some fake news to report and attract attention, Lin Qingxia, Gong Li, and Jay Chou have all been rumored to join the crew of "The Grandmaster". But Wong Kar-wai only admitted to inviting Zhao Benshan to star.

On November 21, 2009, the film officially started filming, but this shot was filmed for nearly three years, it can be said that such a much-anticipated movie is finally facing release, and the media is very excited, because such a big news represents a bonus for the red, therefore, the main creators of the film basically have to accept interviews with several media every day, and even the supporting roles in the movie have been interviewed by some small media.

It is undeniable that Wong Kar-wai, Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, and Zhang Zhen have attracted the attention of most of the media, but the eighth master is still a link that cannot be ignored. The eighth master stayed at the Xinggong International Hotel in Chaoyang District, and when Cao Ping arrived, he was being interviewed by reporters in the reception area on the first floor.

Seeing that the eighth master was busy, Cao Ping hesitated a little, but the eighth master saw him at a glance, stood up and beckoned him to come over, Cao Ping stepped forward to greet the eighth master, and the eighth master introduced to reporters: "This is another martial artist in our movie, named Cao Ping, a very spiritual young man." As he spoke, he asked Cao Ping to sit beside him. Zhu Yan glanced at him quietly, and thought to himself: Is Yuan Lao still holding this Cao Ping's? So he reached out and shook his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Zhang Zhuyan, a reporter from the Beijing Evening News." ”

Xiao Fang has long confessed that in the entertainment industry, the emotional intelligence you show when facing the media represents your personal image, so no matter which star will not easily offend reporters. Cao Ping also shook hands with the female Zhu Yan and smiled: "My name is Cao Ping, and I am honored to meet you." ”

Naturally, he withdrew his hand, Zhu Yan cut his hair, the indoor air conditioner seemed to be a little hot, Zhu Yan was sweaty on his forehead, his cheeks were slightly red, but he was embarrassed to take off his coat. Seeing this, Cao Ping smiled and said, "Is Reporter Zhu drunk?"

"What?" asked Zhu Yan without hearing clearly.

Cao Ping said with a smile: "The beauty is drunk, and the face is drunk." ”

This sentence comes from the Warring States Song Yu's "Conjuring", which means that the beauty is drunk and her face is flushed. Cao Ping vaguely praised Zhu Yan as a beauty.

To be able to become a reporter of the Beijing Evening News, naturally you have to be a top student in liberal arts, and naturally you can understand this sentence, Zhu Yan covered his mouth and smiled, this is a compliment without a trace, Zhu Yan was overjoyed by this fresh and refined sycophant, and laughed for a while. With the help of Cao Ping's little joke, Zhu Yan took off his coat and continued to start the interview, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Maybe it's a good impression of Cao Ping, during the interview, Zhu Yan also asked Cao Ping a few simple questions, and the eighth master also praised Cao Ping, although he knew that the reporter would not write like this when he went back, but Cao Ping was still very grateful for the help of the eighth master, at least, this time Cao Ping would appear in the Beijing Evening News with Yuan Heping, which was already a great favor.

In the next time, Cao Ping began to run around in Beijing, rubbing the interviews in the corners of "The Grandmaster", although it is not good, but this is much stronger than many small stars, and it is good to be able to rub the interview. With the gradual rise in popularity of "The Grandmaster", the public's attention to the movie has gradually increased, and ordinary audiences are looking forward to the performance of several leading actors in the movie and what kind of story Wong Kar-wai's golden sign can bring. People in the circle pay more attention to Wong Kar Wai's team and return on investment. With the reports of large and small media, Cao Ping's name has also entered the eyes of some people.

2012 is the largest Chinese New Year in history, which is why Wong Kar-wai has repeatedly adjusted the film schedule. Two days before Cao Ping came to Beijing, "1942" and "The King's Feast" took the lead in kicking off the 2012 Chinese New Year file, followed by nearly 50 films on the schedule, and Wong Kar-wai faced a lot of pressure in the face of such fierce competition. The movie is scheduled to be released on January 8, 2013, although it avoids Chow Yun-fat's "Shanghai", Lau Wai-keung's "Blood Drops" and Jackie Chan's "Zodiac", but has to fight with "007: Skyfall" and "The Hobbit 1: An Unexpected Journey" two imported blockbusters. Therefore, during this time, all the media headlines have been occupied by major movies, and superstars have stepped in front of the camera to attract attention and build momentum for the promotion of the film.

On December 21, 2012, when countless people were celebrating that the Mayan prophecy had finally been falsified, and all mankind had survived the end of the world, a movie called "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" was like a dark horse, no, like a black dragon killed in front of the public.

"Thai Embarrassment", which hit the big screen on December 12, is a medium-cost comedy, and the operator Xu Zheng is a rookie director who has transformed into an actor, just when all the media are looking at the big director and the big production, it quietly won 310 million box office in one fell swoop within a week of release, becoming the first domestic film in history to have a box office of more than 300 million in the first week.

The filmmakers who were beating their heads were a little stunned, and the media was in an uproar, did the sequel of a small and medium-budget comedy film be able to cut down such a big box office result at once, what new marketing method was used? For a while, all the filmmakers' eyes were on this black dragon.

As a result, when the box office statistics came out the next day, everyone was dumbfounded, and on December 22, the cumulative box office in 11 days of release was about 620 million, becoming the fastest domestic film to reach 600 million box office!

On December 23, the box office increased in the second week, reaching 374 million, with about 11.75 million viewers, winning the box office champion of the week. It became the creator of the highest box office in Chinese mainland in the second week, with a total box office of 684 million!

On December 24, it was released for 12 days, with a cumulative box office of 721 million yuan and a cumulative number of viewers of more than 22 million, setting a new record for the box office and number of moviegoers of domestic films, surpassing "Painted Skin 2" to become the new box office champion of Chinese films in the history of Chinese films!

On December 27, after 15 days of release, the cumulative box office reached 802 million, setting a new box office record for domestic films, and the cumulative number of moviegoers exceeded 25 million, surpassing the 22.0399 million people of "Titanic 3D"!

On December 30, the box office in the third week was 268 million, the box office champion for three consecutive weeks, and the cumulative box office reached 952 million in 18 days of release!

On January 1, 2013, the first day of the New Year's Eve, "Thai Embarrassment" officially announced that after 21 days of release, the cumulative box office of "Thai Embarrassment" officially exceeded 1 billion!

......

This black dragon is like a bamboo, breaking movie records one by one, shocking countless people, and even the news network reported the relevant information!

The national media was jubilant, before that, the box office of a single film of 1 billion was an unattainable dream of domestic films, and there were only two foreign members of "Avatar" and "Transformers 3" in the 1 billion club, and the 705 million domestic boss "Painted Skin II" could only look at the door and sigh, and another domestic giant "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" shouted the slogan of breaking through 1 billion in the 2011 Chinese New Year, but unfortunately fell in front of the 600 million line.

This year's Chinese New Year is a year of countless blockbusters, just when everyone is looking at those blockbusters, but let the little man of "Thai Embarrassment" pick peaches? For a while, all the media headlines were dominated by Thai embarrassment, and all media editors also spent the most relaxed period of time, as long as they hung the name of "Thai Embarrassment", they could be the headlines, which was not too comfortable.

On the other hand, people in the film industry are mixed, with some believing that this is a year of box office blowouts in the history of Chinese films. But more people think that this is a black dragon that snatches food, and it is a box office masterpiece created by the right people at the right time, place, and talents, and the word-of-mouth marketing that has always been ignored by everyone has been taken out by all filmmakers and studied repeatedly. And "Thai Embarrassment" is still continuing his myth, and the profits brought by the enduring invincible attendance rate have made the theater managers so beautiful that snot bubbles fly out, crying and shouting to continue to increase the number of films for "Thai Embarrassment". Countless movies released on the same schedule have been folded by him. For a while, all over the country, major Chinese New Year film teams have held meetings to study countermeasures, and if this trend continues, this year's meat will be eaten by a "Thai Embarrassment"!
