Chapter 320 first-day box office record
The auditorium of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in the capital is quite a tall place, but in normal times, it will also be open to the public, and there are often art groups performing here.
It is mainly dramas, musical and dance dramas, and movie premieres.
Even the Great Hall of the People can hold movie premieres, and it is not surprising that "Heroes" and "Infernal Affairs 3" both premiered in the Great Hall of the People.
After seven days of screening, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has become the hottest movie at the moment, and this premiere ceremony also attracted a large number of audiences and media, who came to the scene early.
"It's finally going to be released, I watched two screenings, and I cried once when I watched it. ”
"I've watched it twice, why do you still come to the premiere, I worked so hard to get the premiere tickets. ”
"I came to see Li Qian, and Li Qian didn't even have a meeting at the screening venue, so I have a lot of questions. ”
"I came to see my old Hu, in order to make a movie, I made myself so miserable, like being abused, I felt sorry for me. ”
“... Hu Ge did make a big breakthrough, if he hadn't known in advance that he was acting, he really wouldn't have seen it. ”
"Xu Zhengcai is really a bull, whether it is the greasy middle-aged man in front or the image full of humanity in the back, I almost forgot that he is hairless in reality. ”
"Oh yes, he doesn't have any hair! Oh, I'm just remembering now."
"You don't know, when I was watching the movie, my girlfriend asked me how Xu Zheng's hair grew. ”
"No wonder, I just said that Xu Zheng in "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is different from reality, it is completely two people. ”
"I took my parents to watch it last Saturday, and after watching it for half an hour, my father said that this is Xu Zheng? My mother laughed at her next to her: You don't recognize how many hairs have grown on people's heads?"
"Isn't it the hair specially saved for the filming of this film, I can't wait to wash his hair with oily hair at the beginning, it's too oily. ”
"Hahaha... I thought it was more oily than if I didn't wash my hair for a week. ”
......
As night fell, the entrance of the CPPCC auditorium was already surrounded by excited spectators, and there was a serious congestion at the intersection of the CPPCC auditorium, which has always been relatively smooth.
And Li Qian was stuck in traffic at this time.
"Director Li, it looks like we're going to be late. Xu Zheng couldn't help but be a little worried.
"It doesn't matter if it's ten minutes late, at the premiere of "Wuji", Cheng Kaige was stuck on the road for 50 minutes. Li Qian said.
"Then it seems that our formation is not big enough. Xu Zheng smiled.
"That's incomparable, basically no movie premieres as big as "Wuji", and our biggest fan is Hu Ge. Li Qian shook his head.
In the pomp and circumstance of "Wuji", the red carpet at the entrance of 150 meters was twice, and more than 100 samurai, armed with knives and guns, dressed in red robes, filled the square outside the CPPCC auditorium, and there were more than 200 fans holding various signs.
Their crew has neither soldiers standing guard nor so many fans holding cards.
At that time, there was a begonia forest on both sides of the carpet, and a white lantern hung above the forest, and the begonia flowers were not real flowers, they were made of silk, and the begonia flower forest alone cost more than 100,000 yuan.
The premiere tickets are 1880, and scalpers resell, they can't grab it, and the premiere of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" only sold one hundred, which must be too low for scalpers to make a lot of money.
"By the way, Hu Ge, you are recuperating, and there is still more than half a month of roadshow publicity in the future?" Li Qian turned around and asked.
"No problem, Director Li. Hugo hurriedly said.
Li Qian smiled, "That's good, I see that you are much better than when you were filming, otherwise those fans of yours will scold me later, I don't see that many fans on the Internet feel sorry for you." ”
"Handsome guy is good. Xu Zheng spread his hands, "No one is distressed when I am a middle-aged greasy man." ”
"Who said no one cares about you anymore, I read on the Internet a few days ago that some people are curious about how your hair grows, is there a unique cheat. Huang Bo quipped.
"......" Xu Zheng touched his shiny bald head a little speechlessly.
Li Qian spread his hands, "That's the wrong question, Brother Zheng's head needs to grow hair, which is more difficult than the blossoming of the iron tree." ”
Xu Zheng stared at Li Qian with a resentful expression, and he didn't refute it, but he had already begun to curse in his heart, "In another ten years, you will be almost the same as me!"
After some interjection, a quarter of an hour later than the scheduled time, the car drove with difficulty to the square at the entrance of the CPPCC auditorium.
The sound insulation of the commercial vehicle was okay, but as soon as he drove to the square, Li Qian heard bursts of enthusiastic cheers.
Several security personnel came over to open the car door, and Li Qian took the crew out of the car and stepped on the red carpet.
"Click... Click...."
The shutter sound of the camera, the cheers and screams of the audience echoed in his ears, and Li Qian only felt that there were countless ducks exchanging in his ears.
Looks like I'm still very popular.
But Xu Zheng felt that he heard a lot of people shouting at him for being bald?
Nima, this audience is so rude!
The crew walked slowly across the red carpet, occasionally taking pictures, waving to the audience, and the 100-meter-long red carpet was quickly over.
As soon as he got off the red carpet, he was surrounded by reporters again, and the long guns and short cannons were frantically slammed upward, if it was a knife, a gun and a stick, Li Qian would have died eight times.
"Director Li, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" can be released as a sensitive reality movie, I heard that it has not been cut, and it premiered in the auditorium of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, does it mean that Director Li has replaced Director Zhang Yimou's status in the official mind. ”
?? ?
This is what it is, it can really be done together.
Li Qian was a little speechless, ""Wuji" also held a premiere ceremony in the CPPCC auditorium, just a screening location, last year's "I Am Not a Legend" has already held a premiere at the Olympic Sports Center, so I want to change places this year. ”
"Hello Director Li, the box office of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is as high as 40 million, what is the box office on the first day?"
"Of course, the higher the better, I think there should be fifty or sixty million. Li Qian gave a conservative figure, the previous first-day box office record for Chinese films was 50 million created by "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party".
As for the 100 million on the first day of "Transformers 3", there must be no drama, and the film schedule is not enough, only 42% of the films will be scheduled tomorrow, and "Transformers 3" will also account for 45%.
It is awesome enough to get 42% of the scheduled films under the hands of a commercial blockbuster with 400 million yuan in four days, which is still more than half an hour long for "Transformers", plus the trend can only be regarded as average.
"Then how much box office does Director Li think "I Am Not the God of Medicine" can win in the end?"
"I've said this many times, and I want to regain the record that belongs to Chinese filmmakers. ”
"What does Director Li mean by surpassing "Avatar"?"
"That's right, our own record should be created by ourselves. Li Qian is not afraid of being ridiculed by others, in fact, several major companies have used this to hack themselves for a long time.
Now that they have died down, who else will not be long-sighted to come and speak?
The people in China who are now qualified to shout this goal are no one else except for him Li Qian.
Although Li Qian has already said that the goal is "Avatar" twice, the media at the scene still feels a little incredible. Good Mood Literature Network
That's the "Avatar" that swept the world, but anyone who doesn't watch the movie knows how awesome this film is.
However, Li Qian, who has won 800 million box office, plus such a high box office and word of mouth, there is nothing wrong with shouting this goal.
"Director Li, you have declared war on Ma Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, and Lu Chuan before, and the three directors also responded on Weibo, and announced the release date of the movie, Director Li, will your next movie be released at the same time?"
"This, everyone will know by then, today is the premiere of "I Am Not the God of Medicine". ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, it was already more than ten minutes late, Li Qian made a color to Zhao Jun who was waiting outside with a bunch of people, and Zhao Jun hurriedly beckoned the security personnel to squeeze out a way to rescue Li Qian and the others from the encirclement.
"Director Li..."
"Director Li, wait a minute. ”
"Director Li, you ......"
Regardless of the reporter's throat, Li Qian had already brought people into the venue.
A group of industry insiders have arrived, but there are not many people, at least none of the major companies have come.
"Director Li, it seems that several major companies are too weak to come, and even a senior executive has not come. Xu Zheng glanced around.
"It doesn't matter if they come or not, but believe it or not, if we have a celebration party in a month, they will definitely come. Li Qian smiled.
"But Director Li, are you just going to forget it, during the previous time, they were too black, except for you, I don't think anyone can carry it. Xu Zheng said curiously.
Although everyone who has filmed with Li Qian knows that Li Qian is not as difficult to get along with as rumored, but is easy to get along with, but anyone who has been hacked for so long cannot have a little temper.
Li Qian shook his head, "Brother Zheng, haven't you heard of an idiom called settling accounts after the autumn, isn't it possible that I want to slap them all over now, there is no point in scolding people, it is only useful to beat people to hit the vital points." ”
Settle accounts after the fall?
Everyone knows this word and knows what it means, but what kind of accounting method is Li Qian?
However, Xu Zheng did not ask in detail.
Li Qian also said hello to the guests who came to cheer, in addition to the people in the company, they are some actors who have worked with before.
Teng Huatao actually took the crew of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" to put down work, and Li Qian came over with some surprise.
"Director Teng, why don't you say hello, the filming is going well, right?" Li Qian asked about the crew.
"The crew is okay, everything went well, and there were no problems with the release of Double 11. Teng Huatao said, as for why he came without saying hello, and he couldn't blame him, he walked away very interestingly without saying a word.
Tong Liya smiled and said, "How is it, surprise?"
"I didn't make a phone call here, and I carried out a surprise attack, so I will check it out when I get back." Li Qian chuckled.
"Phew. Tong Liya blushed and spat angrily, "There are so many people!"
Li Qian also got serious, "You sit down and rest first, I'm tired all the way, there is still a banquet after the premiere, I don't know when it will end." ”
"Well, you go get busy, I'll talk to someone else. Tong Liya waved her hand, and got together with Yang Mi, Liu Yufei, and Zhao Liying, and the actresses of several companies, and I don't know when they got acquainted.
Coping with a lap, soon the premiere started on time.
Because of the subject matter, there are no bells and whistles, no singing and dancing, and the process is relatively simple.
The host is still Tu Wei, the host of the premiere column.
"Distinguished guests!"
"Distinguished viewers!"
...
"Now let's welcome director Li Qian and the actors. ”
Li Qian took Xu Zheng and others to the stage amid the applause of thousands of audiences.
Taking the microphone from the host's hand, Li Qian looked at the thousands of viewers in the audience and took a deep breath.
"Thank you for coming to the premiere of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", because of the screening, you may feel that you have waited a little long, but I believe that after two hours, everyone's wait will be worth it.
Everyone also knows that there were some bad voices on the Internet before, and the impact was not small, all kinds of rumors, malicious ones, and kind reminders, saying that realistic themes are not easy to sell, and Li Qian's golden signboard may be messed up.
In fact, I want to say that it doesn't matter whether it is unpopular or popular, unpopular movies also have their audience, but few people have made them before, and they have become unpopular, but as long as there are more people and they are filmed well, they will naturally become popular themes.
Sci-fi, love, action... These unpopular themes are now slowly increasing, Chinese movies are developing at a rapid pace and blooming, and you may see more rare genres in the future, I hope you don't report prejudice, maybe even the unpopular themes can be surprised
......
Li Qian said a lot of long-winded words in the opening remarks alone, which made people a little disapproving.
These unpopular themes, in addition to Ma Xiaogang's "Assembly", which modern war film has sold well?
In addition to Wu Jing's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", what other modern action movies are big sellers?
Not to mention science fiction films, that is, Li Qian and his directors have made pseudo-science fiction that are applauded and popular.
There are a lot of blockbuster romance films, but it is very rare to be able to reach hundreds of millions, and the real big sellers are Su Lun's two "Living Together in Time and Space" and "Warm and Warm Light".
It can be said that except for Li Qian's family, the domestic film market has basically not changed much.
Ordinary audiences may not feel anything, but the actors, directors, and other filmmakers and film critics on the scene couldn't help but gasp when they thought of this.
I didn't think about this before, but now that I think about it, Li Qian's awesomeness is far more than his blockbuster movies, and even changed the status quo of the entire film industry.
Awesome!
......
The premiere was the process, talking about feelings one by one, and it wasn't until half past eight that the movie began to be screened.
The two-hour screening, an hour ahead, was an hour in front of a large auditorium, and occasionally a little laughter could be heard.
But in the second half, just like when Li Qian was watching the screening, the atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse, and it was even a little depressing.
Especially when it came to the place where Lu Ying committed suicide, where the old lady knelt down for Cao Bin, where Huang Mao had a car accident, and lasted until the last ten miles of the movie to send the god of medicine, there was already a sobbing sound in the auditorium.
After more than a minute of applause, the premiere of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" also came to a successful conclusion.
Now it's time to look at the box office.
After a day of roadshows, at around 12:20 a.m. on the 29th, Li Qian, who was accompanying Tong Liya to eat supper outside, also received a message.
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" hit a box office of 68 million with 42% of the films on the first day, creating a new box office record for Chinese films on the first day.
