"It's so touching, Brother Chao's performance is so good, I feel that the child is his own son, I guess it's not so good for his child. ”

Walking out of the cinema, Tong Liya was sighing about the plot of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" that she had just watched.

"In this way, an actor is a performance, and it is difficult to play a father and a son, and it is really a father and son who can perform. Li Qian shook his head.

Tong Liya pouted dissatisfiedly, "I'll make an analogy!"

"Okay, if you let others hear it, you still think that Brother Chao has an illegitimate child, his extraordinary performance is more about having a similar experience. Li Qian said.

"Oh, too. Tong Liya nodded.

Deng Chao's experience is quite bumpy, ten years ago, in order to earn medical expenses for his family, he fell into a low ebb period of not picking dramas, and there are some similarities with the male protagonist in the movie running around for work, except that Deng Chao is the identity of a son, not a father.

Whether it was yesterday's premiere or the audience's reaction just now, Deng Chao's performance was almost perfect.

However, Li Qian watched it once when the film was cut, I watched it at the premiere yesterday, and today Tong Liya just came back from filming in Vancouver, and she fell into jet lag during the day, and pulled Li Qian to watch the movie in the evening.

I've watched it three times in a row, and it doesn't mean much.

"Let's go, go back. ”

"I'd like to visit again. ”

"I've just been filming for a few months, and you're on a long-distance plane, you're not tired. ”

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all during this filming, Director Xue is afraid that I'm tired and thin, it's much easier than other crews. Tong Liya smiled lightly.

In order to film "Beijing Meets Seattle", she deliberately added some meat and plumped up a little, and when she was filming, Xue Xiaolu was afraid that she would be too tired to lose weight, and she was very relaxed every day, which was easier than any crew she had been in before.

There was no way, Li Qian could only accompany him for almost two hours before returning home physically and mentally exhausted.

I went home and tossed for an hour, and almost didn't fall apart.

However, Tong Liya has grown a little flesh on her body and feels much better, just right from top to bottom.

"Yaya. Li Qian rubbed Tong Liya's smooth body and gasped.

Tong Liya arched in Li Qian's arms, her lips opened lightly, and a lazy note popped out, "Hmm..."

"Don't lose weight in the future. ”

"No, I can't. ”

"It's just right, and if you lose it, it's too thin. ”

"I don't, you're just doing it for yourself!"

"I'm here for your good health, it's not good to be too thin. ”

"I don't, I'm going to lose weight starting tomorrow. ”

"......" Li Qian felt the wonderful touch on his hand with some regret.

Suddenly, the cell phone at the bedside rang.

glanced at the fame, it was Wen Muye who called, but Li Qian didn't answer.

After ringing for a while, Tong Liya poked her head out of Li Qian's arms, "Why don't you answer the phone?"

"I don't have my hands open. Li Qian said confidently.

Feeling the hands on her body that had never stopped, Tong Liya spat angrily, "Not serious!"

Lying on Li Qian's body, she reached out and pressed the mobile phone screen, and after connecting the phone, Tong Liya lay back again.

"Hey, who's that?" Li Qian could only turn his head and shout into his mobile phone.

Wen Muye, who was on the other side of the phone, was a little strange, looked at his phone, he called Li Qian, he didn't make the wrong call, why did he ask who he was.

Didn't you save your own phone?

Wen Muye didn't think about it, and hurriedly replied, "It's me, boss." ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" asked Li Qian.

At night, it's past eleven and a half, and I don't go to rest and make some kind of call.

"Boss, I just read the comments on the Internet in the evening, and some people say that the sensationalism and inspirational in the movie are too deliberate......."

Wen Muye babbled a lot, talking about some of the bad comments about the movie that he saw from meager, forced, and comical places.

"Don't worry about that, even the renminbi is not liked by people, and there is no movie that everyone can like. ”

After chatting a few words and comforting Wen Muye, Li Qian pulled out his hand and hung up the phone.

Put your hands back and continue...

Half an hour later, at 12 o'clock, the phone rang again.

Wen Muye's eager voice came from the mobile phone, "Boss, is the box office out?"

"Wait a minute, the distribution department will send you a message when they get the data. Li Qian said patiently.

Hung up the phone and shook his head, "It's like a little daughter-in-law who is about to get married." ”

Tong Liya smiled, "This is normal, the first movie." ”

More than ten minutes later, Li Qian received the box office information of the distribution department on his mobile phone.

Almost at the same time, Bunmuno's call came again.

Li Qian was helpless, answered the phone, and spoke first, "43 million on the first day." ”

Wen Muye, who was on the other side of the phone, looked at the phone and froze for a moment, he hadn't asked yet.

That is, he was stunned, and his text message also came, and he hurriedly said, "Boss, I received a text message from the distribution department, disturbing your rest, good night bye." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone one step ahead of Li Qian.

“......”

Li Qian was stunned, shook his head, and threw his phone to the bedside.

"Poof......" Tong Liya couldn't help laughing.

"Laugh at what, one more round, you're on it. Li Qian was very generous in letting Tong Liya ride on himself as a prestige.

......

The next morning, in the office, the corners of Wen Muye's mouth were grinning, and Li Qian said angrily, "43 million, now you can put your heart in your stomach." ”

"Hehe, disturb the boss to rest. Fumimuno smirked a little embarrassedly.

When it was released yesterday and in the evening, although "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" had a good reputation, there were still other different voices.

The main negative evaluation is that it is too sensational, sensational for the sake of sensationalism, and inspirational for the sake of inspiration.

This is an inspirational film, and the main selling point is also inspirational, if something goes wrong in this regard, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the box office.

At that time, Wen Muye was frightened, and after returning home from the roadshow, he brushed up on the comments on the Internet all night, whether it was a comic or a post bar, forced calls, and Tianya, and watched the reviews of the movie over and over again.

Whenever I saw the sound of criticizing the movie, it was a panic, so I called Li Qian at eleven o'clock.

As soon as it was 12 o'clock in the morning, I couldn't wait to call Li Qian again to ask about the box office, and it wasn't until I got the box office data that I was finally relieved. The Seven Realms

After being happy for a while, Wen Muye calmed himself down, "Now that I think about it, I was too nervous yesterday, and it was difficult to find a bad review among dozens of positive reviews, the boss is right, even the RMB is not liked by people, let alone movies, there is no movie that everyone can like." ”

"It's the first time, it's inevitable to be nervous, but it's good to have experience next time. ”

Deng Chao next to him smiled, and said with some doubts, "There are people who don't like any RMB, who still doesn't like RMB?"

"Ahh

Wen Muye was also stunned by this question, "Yes, who doesn't like RMB?"

Wen Muye didn't think about it yesterday, but now that he thinks about it, there is indeed a problem with Li Qian's words, how can no one like the RMB.

Tong Liya next to her also looked at Li Qian, "Yes, how can anyone not like RMB?"

“...”

Li Qian was speechless, this is just an analogy.

is about to catch up with the Chinese teacher, he is not Lu Xun, it is necessary to get to the bottom of everything in any word.

"It's... Of course, a large number of foreign trade export companies hope that the RMB will depreciate, but I don't see that the Fed is deliberately trying to appreciate the RMB. Li Qian finally came up with a reasonable statement.

"But why is that?" Deng Chao's doubts intensified.

"Because..."Li Qian carefully talked about international trade.

"I see. ”

The three of them suddenly understood the pros and cons of RMB appreciation.

But Deng Chao spread out his hands and asked with a strange expression, "Why are we talking about international trade in the morning?"

Tong Liya said angrily, "It's you who want to ask." ”

"Did I ask?"

"It's you. ”

"Maybe I ate too much in the morning. ”

Deng Chao was depressed.

Tong Liya comforted, "Brother Chao, as soon as I came back yesterday, I went to the cinema in the afternoon to watch "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", you acted so well, more like your biological father." ”

Why did he mention this stubble again, Li Qian was worried that Deng Chao would feel uncomfortable when he thought of his deceased father, so he joked, "It's just acting, Zhang Hanyu also played his father, and he acted quite like a father and son." ”

Deng Chao's face immediately fell, "Can you not mention it." ”

"Haha......"

Li Qian tried hard to control himself from laughing, and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you should go and get busy, don't let the audience of the roadshow wait for a long time." ”

The two of them also have roadshows, and feature films pay more attention to publicity, after all, they are not blockbusters, and they can attract audiences by making big scenes.

......

The hit screening of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has brought the summer file back to the familiar scene of domestic film domination, and the popularity is much higher than that of "Pacific Rim" in July.

After all, it was just a Hollywood popcorn movie, and the popularity of the movie on the Internet was not as much as the criticism of the heroine Jing Tian later.

However, the film market in August is not only "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", but also "Small Times: Aoki Era" will be released on the same day.

This series of two episodes was filmed consecutively, the first part of Liu Yue sold more than 400 million, Lay's struck while the iron was hot, and the second part was released in August.

The second part of the big bad movie was still filmed together, and it was basically not much different from the first one.

Before the release of the film, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Film Association, as well as a vote of filmmakers and film critics, all called on the audience and theaters to boycott the second part.

However, it didn't work, the second part still sold 54 million on the first day, which was 11 million higher than the 43 million on the first day of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

In the case that the first part had a bad reputation, the second part could sell more than 50 million, and it slapped most people in the industry in the face.

However, the criticism and scolding faced have become more and more intense.

Fans of "Little Times" also exerted a strong combat effectiveness, and on the Internet, especially on Weibo, they tore up with filmmakers and film critics from all walks of life.

The famous film critic Zhou Liming posted a Weibo, saying that if most "Little Times" fans want to afford the things in the film and live the kind of life in the film, they have to obediently find "old things" to be the third, fourth, and fifth children, which is possible, which is the implied values of the film.

As a result, he was immediately besieged by fans: You count that green onion, don't be jealous all the time, do you think you can make a movie, do you think you have the money to create a movie called "Little Times" by yourself, you are old and not worthy of living in this new era!

To be honest, Li Qian is also quite funny when he looks at the remarks of these fans, there are too many talents in it.

Fans also said that Mo Yan snatched Guo Jinming's Nobel Prize in Literature.

Even, the movie was blown to the sky: I think "Little Times" is a god film, the narrative structure of this film is extremely good, and it completes "Vulgar", the use of color to the extreme, overturning "Red Desert", the long shot is beautiful, far away from "I Am Cuba", the editing is so good that it makes "Exhausted" seem childish and ridiculous, the expressiveness of the realistic part overshadows "The Bicycle Thief", the construction of the surreal part makes "Angel of Annihilation" an indisputable scum, and the use of sound and picture makes "Last Year in Marienbad" He bowed his head violently, and the theme was so profound that it made "2001: A Space Odyssey" seem superficial and artificial.

To be honest, if you blow it to this extent, you are either crazy, or sick, or you are disgusting.

......

The success of "Small Times 2" has also allowed major companies to see a glimmer of light.

In the current film industry, there is no company that can compare to the future film industry with Li Qian, coupled with its director, so that other companies are completely powerless.

Major companies are not competitive at all, and there is no way to match them in terms of movie quality.

This situation once made them desperate.

But now, "Little Times" has given them a new hope and direction, and since they can't fight for quality, they will find another way.

As for what Li Qian told them before, they will not be the opponents of Ah Tanuki and Penguin in the future, and under the success of "Small Times 2", they directly ignored it.

"I also use high-quality movies to suppress the money-making movies that follow the trend, I want to see what he Li Qian uses to suppress this time!"

Huang Zhongjun was full of joy at this time, what if "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" has a good reputation, the box office on the first day is still worse than more than 10 million "Small Times 2".

In the case of poor word-of-mouth, the sequel surpassed another high-reputation movie at the box office, which also gave Huang Zhongjun and them greater confidence, otherwise they were really a little afraid that Li Qian would come to gather their films.

......

Just when "Small Times 2" was a hit with countless controversies, mainstream filmmakers and institutions criticized it, and major companies were in full swing to prepare their own follow-up works, the film market continued to move forward hotly.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" relied on a super high reputation, and sold 218 million in the first weekend.

And "Small Times 2", which was 10 million higher on the first day, only reached 180 million box office in the first weekend.

Although it is already a big hit for a small and medium-budget movie, it has disappointed major companies.

But fortunately, at least they were not beaten by the super high-reputation "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and this situation is completely acceptable to them.

However, on the following Monday, the single-day box office of "Small Times 2" plummeted to 13 million.

And "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" still got 35 million on Monday, a steady decline of less than 40%.

In the entire second week, although new films such as "Palace Lock Agarwood" and "Fierce Wars" were released, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" also got 260 million in seven days.

And the trend of "Small Times 2" is also in line with the sparse word-of-mouth, and it can exceed 100 million in the second week.

In the third week, the box office completely dived, with a total of 17 million in seven days and a total box office of 297 million.

However, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" won 150 million in the third week, and the total box office has reached 628 million.

From a lead of 11 million on the first day, to a difference of 300 million more than half a month later.

Such a disparity immediately extinguished the unrealistic ideas in the minds of major companies.
