Chapter 197
November, another year of Chinese New Year.
At the end of October, because Huayang Media was listed, with a market value of nearly 10 billion, a group of multimillionaires were created, and Ma Xiaogang and Huang Xiaoming were directly worth hundreds of millions of dollars according to the current stock price.
This incident became the biggest news in the entertainment industry in early November, and the listing of Huayang Media dominated the headlines of entertainment news for many days.
However, as time passes, especially "Living Together in Time and Space" supervised by Li Qian, the costume blockbuster "Mulan" starring Zhao Wei and Chen Kun is about to be released, and entertainment news has begun to focus on these two movies, not to mention that there will be a blockbuster in December.
Nearly ten popular movies have started vigorous publicity, wanting to grab a big piece of cake in the hot schedule of the Chinese New Year.
chose to be released in the Chinese New Year, especially blockbusters, that is because they have enough confidence in themselves.
Not to mention the two parts "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" and "October Siege", "Fengyun 2" and "Thorn Tomb" are also ambitious.
Needless to say, the TV series of the same name in 02 was a smash hit, and it naturally has popularity.
"Thorn Tomb" starring Jay Chou and Cheng Daoming, and the previous "Slam Dunk" starring Jay Chou has exceeded 100 million, and they are all Jay Chou's monoclonal antibodies.
is not a director-based, the box office exceeded 100 million, and before that, there was only "Huo Yuanjia" starring Li Lianjie.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Jay Chou's box office.
This time it is still a big production, Chen Daoming and Lin Zhiling, who became popular in the mainland, joined, no matter how you look at it, they are all big sellers.
Of course, there is also "Perfect World", which has been scheduled to be released on December 4, as the first seed player to be released in December.
Every blockbuster has its own selling point, and each producer and distributor has its own self-confidence.
However, in the face of "Living Together in Time and Space" and "Mulan" in November, other companies are still very concerned.
After all, this is also the first film released by the new distribution company co-founded by Li Qian.
As the most direct opponent, Yu Dong, one of the distributors and investors of "Mulan", paid special attention to the publicity and distribution of "Living Together in Time and Space".
"A romance movie is still related to Singles' Day, and without envy, I don't think his signboard will stand up!"
Listening to the release director Zhang Hao talk about the recent series of announcements of "Living Together in Time and Space", Yu Dong was full of disapproval.
In addition to the four TV stations in Jiangning, northern Hubei, southern Henan, and western Sichuan, they have almost given up the propaganda channel of the TV station and focused on the Internet, which is quite lively on the Internet. β
Zhang Hao also shook his head, obviously not approving of this mainly online-based propaganda method.
Except for the posters in various places, there is almost no other publicity offline.
"Still. β
Zhang Hao then reported, "There were no new films released in the first half of November, I contacted various theaters and almost estimated that on the day of the release on the 11th, "Living Together in Time and Space" should be able to get almost 60% of the film schedule. β
November has always been relatively deserted, sandwiched between the Chinese New Year and the National Day, it has always been a small and medium-sized cost, with a certain selling point, but it is easy to become cannon fodder when you go to the Chinese New Year file to compete in films.
If it weren't for the release of "October Siege" in December, Yu Dongdu would have planned to put "Mulan" in December.
Sufficient film scheduling, coupled with Li Qian's box office appeal, is indeed a very favorable condition.
Of course, this is not what Yu Dong wants to see, after all, "Mulan" will be released on the 20th, 8 days late.
Originally, Yu Dong was going to be released at the end of November, and "October Siege" was on December 17, 20 days apart, and it had little impact.
But Li Qian's new film "Perfect World" will be released directly on December 4.
Although Li Qian was very unhappy during the summer vacation, he was reluctant to promote "Stubborn Radish", but he also had to admit that Li Qian, who had only made two theatrical movies, had become a director whose domestic box office appeal was second only to Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang.
Strategically, it is still necessary to pay attention to the opponent.
But.
Looking at all the information of this movie, a senior directing student, still a woman.
The actor Lei Jiayin has only starred in one Internet University, and has not even played an important role in any film and television drama, and belongs to the kind of small actor who immediately pulls ten people on the street, and no one knows him.
And Tong Liya, who has just graduated from Chinese opera for a year, has filmed a lot of TV series, but they are all films with very average ratings, and they are not the protagonists.
It seems that she is still Li Qian's undisclosed girlfriend.
With this lineup, Yu Dong could see with his eyes closed that there was no possibility of a sell-out.
Although Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Yang Qing were also rookie directors, "Jaws: Revenge" is a sequel, and the theme of "127 Hours" is catchy, and Deng Chao is also a first-line star.
"Nightclub" is the most blockbuster comedy genre in low-budget movies, and Xu Zheng's comedy skills can be seen in his previous film and television dramas.
And "Living Together in Time and Space", a sci-fi romance.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's a romance film dressed in sci-fi skin.
It would be strange for a senior to be able to make a science fiction film, if this is the case, then Yu Dong's more than ten years of experience in the industry is not in vain.
And romance films, there is no market in China at all, whether it is Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Li Binbin, or any of them who plays romance films, none of them are blockbusters, and even millions of box office is the norm.
The only selling point is estimated to be supervised by Li Qian, plus there are many films scheduled in the early stage of the release, which can make a little box office.
Even with Li Qian's golden signboard, Yu Dong didn't take "Living Together in Time and Space" to heart at all.
even, he smiled, "I guess, this is what Li Qian photographed to praise his girlfriend." β
Zhang Hao said, "If this is the case, the signboard supervised by Li Qian will be messed up, and the disaster film "2012" to be released on the 13th is popular, and the rumors of the end of the world in 2012 are quite popular on the Internet." β
It's good to smash it, everyone in the industry is desperate.
Otherwise, if you supervise and produce two or three blockbuster movies a year, then there are other companies that have no way to live.
......
The release date is getting closer and closer, and on Friday the 5th, in the evening of more than 30 second-tier cities across the country, "Living Together in Time and Space" began the first round of more than 30 screenings.
At the same time, Shudu Chunxi Road, Jinling Xinjiekou, Modu Nanjing Road... A movie theater in the most prosperous business district of each city ushered in a large number of audiences at the same time.
The name of a great director is the hardest sign in the film industry.
Beijing, the first in the national box office, the capital cinema located in Chaoyang Joy City is also at half past six in the evening, ushering in the peak flow of people in recent days.
As a loyal fan of Li Qian, Lu Chao once again came to the cinema on time and waited for the movie to start.
This time, though, he came alone.
He graduated this year and also broke up, just last month.
"Alas, it's okay to break up a month later, now you have to be alone to watch romance movies. β
Sitting in the theater hall and looking at most of the men and women in pairs, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
Is there anything worse than a person who goes to watch romance movies exclusively?
But he is not the only single dog, there are three young ladies sitting in front of him, who should be with their girlfriends, who are chattering at this time.
"Hey, do you draw movie tickets on Double 11?"
"Aren't you watching it now, why are you still drawing movie tickets? β
"There's a boy sitting next to me, I want to try it, just in case it's a handsome guy. β
"Nymphomaniac, you!"
"Be careful, it's bad if it's a nymphomaniac. β
"It may be a middle-aged uncle, if you have a father-love plot, you can also try it. β
"Maybe it's a primary school student, don't mutilate the minors and the flowers of the motherland. β
"Oh, what are you talking about!"
"Don't go to the lottery, those boys who draw the lottery will definitely come with evil ideas. β
"I'll enter the venue later, let's see what that boy looks like first, if he's not handsome, I'll leave, anyway, I watched it today. β
......
Lu Chao pricked up his ears and listened to the three girls chatting in front of him, and he thought it was true.
The men who go to draw movie tickets must all come with dirty ideas, not like an upright person like him.
Even if No. 11 Taomao will buy something at a discount, he won't draw any movie tickets, and he won't want to win the lottery.
However, he didn't think anyone would go to the lottery for such a thing as shopping and giving away movie tickets, after all, it was not a lottery of coupons, vouchers, and something that could not be cashed.
However, looking at it now, it seems that there are still some people who are quite interested.
Are you counting on watching movies to send your boyfriend and girlfriend?
Thirty or forty yuan for a ticket, and a boyfriend and girlfriend, what do you want!
Soon, the movie was about to start, and Lu Chao also went to the entrance to line up to check the ticket.
When I passed by the three girls, I subconsciously turned my head to look at them.
It's all pretty good, it's November, and it's so cool......
Phew!
Quickly get rid of the unhealthy thoughts in your head.
My girlfriend is too troublesome, and she loses her temper at every turn, and she is tired.
Entering the screening hall, the hall with nearly 200 seats was filled one after another, and when the movie opened, it was close to full.
Lu Chao looked around, and there were probably a dozen or so places left in the corners and corners.
A three-no movie, the attendance rate is so high.
He had to sigh that now Li Qian's appeal is also the first in China.
While looking at the situation in the screening hall, Lu Chao also took out a small notebook and a pen in his pocket.
That's right, as a veteran movie lover, after graduation, Lu Chao was honored to become an entertainment reporter of the Beijing branch of Tengxun.com.
There is nothing better than a profession that can be reimbursed by movie ticket companies and the opportunity to participate in various film festivals at home and abroad.
As for writing film reviews and news, who wouldn't be able to pick on them.
In order to work, if you need to, it is not impossible to reluctantly scold Li Qian's film.
The small notebook is opened, the pen is in hand, and while watching the movie, he is ready to jot down some key things.
Soon, after the dragon mark, the movie opened.
At the beginning, the heroine Gu Xiaojiao, played by Tong Liya, who was dressed as an elegant working woman, walked into the real estate agency store and found one of the agents.
Listening to the meaning of the dialogue, Gu Xiaojiao regarded the intermediary as a blind date.
Sure enough, as soon as the blind date sat down in the conference room, the curtains were immediately drawn, the lights dimmed, and a picture of a luxury villa was projected on the curtain.
"The north and south are transparent, full of lighting, the first floor suite faces north, the second floor suite faces south, the attic has a skylight, the basement is moisture-proof, 2,000 floors, 800 floor tiles, four bathrooms, and a pair of utility rooms ......"
Tong Liya did it in one go, spoke quickly and clearly, and said the blind date to the blind date.
The audience was also confused, whether this was a house sale or a blind date.
Soon, the movie gave the answer, bought a house, and Gu Xiaojiao immediately got married.
This scene made Lu Chao stunned.
A gold worshipper?
The heroine of the romance film is a money worshipper...
This persona.
Lu Chao was a little strange, but he was also curious about how the heroine was whitewashed.
Immediately after a blind date, the camera turned to 1989, in the wilderness, the designer Lu Ming played by Lei Jiayin was introducing his advanced ideas to customers.
The hero and heroine are in different time and space, which also makes Lu Chao and all the audience look forward to a cross-time and space love.
However, immediately after the two of them had a situation, Gu Xiaojiao was cheated of money, and Lu Ming broke through the conspiracy of his boss and was coerced.
The camera uses parallel montages to show the process of each of them returning home, the same street, the same alley, and even the same building.
Two people living in the same building on different planes?
With curiosity, Lu Chao continued to stare at the big screen seriously.
Soon, a hilarious scene appeared.
Gu Xiaojiao put the clothes in the washing machine.
Lu Ming steamed steamed buns.
Gu Xiaojiao took a bath in the bathtub.
Lu Ming washes vegetables in the pool.
As a result, Lu Ming's dish ran to Gu Xiaojiao's head.
Gu Xiaojiao's clothes ran into Lu Ming's steamer, and a large amount of foam came out of the sink for washing vegetables.
Lu Ming was ready to drink milk powder.
The milk powder came out of Gu Xiaojiao's hair dryer.
......
There are no lines, but this scene still makes some viewers can't help laughing.
"Haha. β
"It's too funny. β
Both men were dumbfounded. β
"Two big white steamed buns for a beautiful woman's underwear seems to be a good deal. β
"The heroine frantically pressed the shampoo and really laughed at me. β
"The men were dumbfounded, they couldn't wash it no matter how they washed, and there were more and more foams. β
"One can't get out, and the other can't be cleaned, haha. β
......
Seeing this, the audience almost understood the meaning of "Living Together in Time and Space".
Then, as they thought, after tossing and sleeping for a night, the two planes began to coincide, and the two rooms, spanning 19 years, partially overlapped and became one room.
In the early morning, the beds of the two were also put together, and Gu Xiaojiao turned over and put one hand on Lu Ming's face.
Lu Ming woke up in a fright, and looked at Gu Xiaojiao in front of him dumbfounded.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xiaojiao also woke up, first stunned, and then slapped Lu Ming on the face, followed by the screams in his mouth.
"Ah!!!!h
With both hands together, while shouting in his mouth, he opened the bow left and right, and kept slapping Lu Ming's face.
Pillows, clothes, hangers, alarm clocks... Whatever could be obtained at hand, all of them beckoned to Lu Ming.
"Perverted!"
"Hooligans!"
"Scum!"
"Scum!"
Gu Xiaojiao screamed and kicked Lu Ming out of bed, and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.
After some chase, the two were dumbfounded when they looked at the layout of the room.
Gu Xiaojiao questioned him, "What about the wall?"
Lu Ming was also confused, "What about the wall?"
Looking out the window, it was 2008 and it was pouring rain.
On the other side, it was 1989, and the sun was shining and the weather was wonderful.
The two looked at each other blankly, dumbfounded.
......
"Interesting!"
Lu Chao became more and more interested, and the hand holding the pen kept gesturing something, but he didn't write a word.
However, now that he is also a professional journalist, he still has to analyze while watching movies.
At this point, the personalities of the two protagonists are already obvious.
The heroine uses her hands and feet in the room, and the male protagonist who hits is holding her head and running around, and at first glance she is a hot-tempered and grinning master.
The male protagonist is submissive in front of customers and bosses.,The accident that happened last night was also cute throughout the whole process.,Get up in the morning to face the fierce heroine.,It doesn't look like there's a bit of momentum.,At first glance, it's a weak character.γIt's also a wretched character.γ
The summary is that women are stronger than men.
Moreover, the two time and space coincided and lived under the same roof, Lu Chao became more and more curious about what interesting things would happen next.
