At the end of the year.
China Film, Han Sanping office.
Li Mu, Han Sanping, and Gu Guoqing sat around and chatted.
Gu Guoqing, chairman of Huaxia Film Distribution Co., Ltd., is also one of the industry giants.
"In 2005, the total box office of our domestic film market was only 20 billion yuan. I didn't expect that in only six or seven years, our domestic market alone could produce 20 billion-level films." Han Sanping turned to Li Mu and Gu Guoqing. humane.
Gu Guoqing nodded and said with a smile: "At that time, 20 billion of the 11 billion yuan was generated by imported films, and the real box office of domestic films was actually only 9 million. The development of our domestic film market in these years can be said to be changing with each passing day!"
It is true that China's film market has developed greatly in recent years, and Li Mu also agrees with this very much, but the upcoming 20 billion yuan movie that these two people are talking about does not refer to his "Non-囧", right?He dare not make such a big wish!
"Two billion? I can't help it! The two bosses think highly of "Non-囧" too much. To be honest, I'm satisfied with the box office of "Tai囧"." Li Mu immediately responded with a smile.
Han Sanping and Gu Guoqing looked at each other, and then both laughed.
"It's only 20 billion. It's definitely not easy for others, but for you, Li Mu... the two of us agree that it's not a problem."
Li Mu has created such an original movie for so many years, how could he be very confident in the market performance of the movie?Don't look at the pre-sales of the film are very good, and even broke the record, but that is the popularity accumulated by the first two films, and has nothing to do with the quality of the third film.
"The problem is the problem! How could it not be a problem? The two bosses also underestimated the difficulty of 20 billion box office!"
"Yes, 20 billion may be a bit difficult." Han Sanping turned his head to look at Gu Guoqing, and continued, "So after the two of us discussed it, we decided to find a way to mention the filming of "Non-囧" again."
Li Mu was complaining in his heart, and the result: "What? Let's mention it again after the filming?"
"Whatever you say?" Li Mu immediately said with a smile on his face.
Han Sanping said: "87%, how about it? Is it still difficult this time?"
It was originally set at 81%, but now it is mentioned at 87%. Is this a direct increase of 6 points?Li Mu was overjoyed, but he still didn't dare to say that "Non-囧" could earn 20 billion at the box office.
"This one……"
He said and shook his head.
Han Sanping and Gu Guoqing glanced at each other, and then Han Sanping said to Gu Guoqing: "Lao Gu, you said that the two of us have been busy recently, trying to coordinate the filming of "Fei囧". What are you drawing?"
Gu Guoqing said: "I want to see a movie with a box office level of 20 billion in the domestic market earlier!"
Han Sanping said again: "But our director Li said that 87% of the films are still not sure to break through 20 billion!"
Gu Guoqing continued: "Then I think the filming of these 6 spots should be cut off, and the local theater chains have objections."
Han Sanping said: "I think it will work."
Now Li Mu had to intervene: "Cut it? Why did you cut it when you had a good film arrangement? If you cut 6 points and arrange the film, when will we be able to produce 20 billion movies in the domestic market?"
Although he knew that the talk of the two of them cutting up the film was just a joke, but Li Mu still cooperated with the two of them to perform the play well.
Nonsense, they found a way to give you a 6-point film arrangement, what's wrong with you acting in a play?
Sure enough, Han Sanping and Gu Guoqing both laughed at the same time.
"That's what you said, then the two of us are waiting for the good news that "Fei囧" has surpassed 20 billion at the box office.
Li Mu patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, isn't it just 20 billion at the box office? If you really can't get this amount, I will arrange for Maoyan Movie to pay for it with tickets! Even if I hit it hard, I will hit this amount!"
Han Sanping and Gu Guoqing were all taken aback for a moment, and then all three of them couldn't help laughing out loud.
Who decides the domestic film scheduling?
Theoretically, it is up to the theaters themselves to decide, but in fact, everyone wants to sell the face of China Film Group and Huaxia Film.
China Film Group and Huaxia Film are currently domestic companies that are allowed to import imported films. If theaters and theaters want to ensure the screening copies of imported films, it is impossible not to maintain a good relationship with these two companies. If you offend these two masters, your family Do you still want to make money from imported blockbusters?Therefore, when encountering films released and produced by these two companies, theaters and theaters will "take care" of them.
So is the film arrangement of theaters independent?
Definitely is!
But do China Film and Huaxia have the ability to improve the schedule of a certain film?
Of course it has this ability!
Now that the two companies are going to join hands to coordinate and increase the original schedule of "Non-囧", many theaters across the country really want to sell the face of the two.
87%!
This lineup is really amazing!
In fact, it also has a lot to do with the fact that there are no other blockbuster movies in this year's Spring Festival.
Otherwise, no matter how big the face of China Film and China is, the local theaters can't be too hard on money, and if the opponent is also a blockbuster, how can they have nothing to do with it?
But since there are no other blockbusters released now, there are only some obviously uncompetitive films such as "A New Born Couple" and "The Dinner Party Is Crazy", so I'm sorry. To make money, China Film China has requirements, and it is the general trend to improve the film schedule of "Fei囧".
After that, Li Mu took the initiative to chat with the two about the "You Now You See Me" project. In fact, any director in the circle who can be called a big director usually has a film appointment two years or even three years later, so Li Mu After it has been confirmed that "The Hunger Games 2", "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Send You A Little Red Flower" will be filmed this year, it is not surprising that there are still new film preparations.
If it weren't for Li Mu who only made films with his own scripts, with his ability to attract money all the time, the producers who came to the door with the script would be able to queue up until four or five years later.
"Mr. Han and Mr. Gu, our company is preparing a new film recently, why don't you both vote for it?"
"New film? What genre?"
"Is it for the global market? How much investment?"
"The investment is not big, it can be regarded as a medium level."
"Medium, not bad."
"Medium is good, less risky, are the actors confirmed?"
Whether it is Han Sanping or Gu Guoqing, they are more interested in Huashang's super-large-scale investment films, such as "Inception" and "Gravity". This kind of investment of more than 1 million US dollars can make a lot of money. Many projects are fun to participate in. Like a project with hundreds of millions, does Huashang lack this money?Inviting everyone to invest is to send money to everyone. The two bosses are old-fashioned. Can you understand the truth?
In recent years, major companies in China have not lost the glory of Huashang. Sometimes everyone is embarrassed. How about Han Sanping and Gu Guoqing coordinating to increase the filming of "Non-囧" from 81% to 87% this time?
So as soon as Li Mu said that it was a medium investment, the two immediately became less excited than before.
Well, it's another project that simply takes advantage of Huashang Media!
Participation is definitely still necessary. How can you do it without making money? !But participating is definitely not as cool as investing in "Inception" and "Gravity".
With a large investment of over [-] million US dollars, no matter how strong Huashang is, it still needs the assistance of various companies.
"A few actors have been determined. The initial plan is to use Liu Yifei as the heroine. One of the male protagonists is Brother Cheng Long. I have already communicated with Brother Cheng Long. His schedule is fine. There are three remaining male lead candidates. In addition, some Hollywood actors will be used."
"what happened?"
While talking, Li Mu suddenly noticed that the two bosses were staring at him blankly, and Li Mu couldn't help but wondered.
Han Sanping said with emotion: "You mean medium investment?"
"Yes." Li Mu said.
Gu Guoqing asked again: "The heroine Liu Yifei, the male protagonist Cheng Long?"
Li Mudao: "I know that Liu Yifei has been used a lot in the last few films. If you want to say selfishness, it must be a little bit, but in fact I don't have too many choices. We have international influence in our country, and we should be young and beautiful. Just two. As for Brother Cheng Long—"
"Okay, okay, are the two of us talking about selfish things? The two of us are very curious. You call the film of the heroine Liu Yifei and one of the male protagonists Cheng Long a medium-investment film?"
The current status of Liu Yifei and Cheng Long is basically the ceiling of Chinese male and female movie stars.
Li Muxin planned to use these two in his film, but in the end he said lightly that it was only a medium investment?
What a "just"!
"Just tell me, how much are you going to spend on this movie?"
"Actually, it's not much, it should not exceed 7000 million US dollars."
"7000?"
"Dollar?"
The two bosses stared at Li Mu for a few seconds at the same time, and then laughed together.
"The one who can call an investment of 7000 million US dollars a medium investment is you, Li Mu!"
"It's reasonable. For Li Mu's movie, 7000 million US dollars is really only worthy of a medium investment."
……
On January 2012, 1, the world premiere of "A Man on a Journey Is Not Embarrassed" was held in Beijing.
Director Li Mu, leading actors Shen Teng, Wang Baoqiang, and many other actors and actresses were present. Liu Yifei also came to the scene to cheer for her boyfriend Li Mu.Before going on stage to interact with the audience, Li Mu teased Shen Teng and said, "I've been reading online recently why people always say that you are an idol, why don't you take this opportunity to clarify with the audience?"
Shen Teng said with a serious face: "Director, in fact, I didn't have any foundation when I took the military art exam. I advanced into military art entirely by virtue of my appearance. Let's just say that I used to be a military art school."
Li Mu said with a smile: "Yang Yang is one of the actors hired by the company to shoot "Back to 20 Years Old", does he know? He is the military art school."
Shen Teng said solemnly: "Yes, I was the school grass before, and he was later!"
In one sentence, all the main creators of "Fei囧" were amused.
After a few people came to the stage, there were warm cheers and even screams from the audience.
"Brother-in-law, I love you!"
"My brother-in-law is so handsome!"
"Director Li, I love you!"
"Director Li is so handsome!"
"Shen Teng is so handsome!"
"Baoqiang!"
"Brother-in-law invited sister to the stage too!"
……
On the stage, during the interval between the host’s introduction, Li Mu whispered to Shen Teng next to him: “I didn’t expect so many people to call you handsome, almost equal to the number of people calling me handsome. It seems that your appearance is really second only to Shen Teng to me."
Shen Teng moved closer to Li Mu's ear and said, "Director Li, why don't you bring Yifei up soon?"
"No need? She's not the lead actor."
"The audience is the largest, and if the audience asks the director to lead the show, they will take it."
"audience?"
"Director, don't you know that the 'brother-in-law' the audience just called refers to you?"
"Me? 'Brother-in-law'?"
"Of course, it's not the fairy sister in the audience's mind. The director is the boyfriend of the fairy sister. Isn't this sister?"
Li Mugang didn't care, this meeting finally came to his mind.
"What about my brother-in-law?"
"You are also the director! Some viewers call you Yifei Fairy Sister, but older people like me can't be called Yifei Sister. Isn't my sister's boyfriend a 'brother-in-law'?"
Li Mu, who suddenly realized that he was good at doing good things, immediately walked down the stage, shook Liu Yifei's hand, and pulled her onto the stage.
Then the audience in the audience continued to boo.
"What are you doing with your hands? Why don't you hurry up and hug your waist?"
"Come closer!"
"Kiss one!"
"Kiss one?" Li Mu looked at the audience in shock and asked.
"You let us kiss on the spot? Isn't this embarrassing?"
Looking back, Liu Yifei blushed slightly.
The audience continued to boo.
"You should kiss one!"
"The movie is called 'Fei囧', so it should make Yifei very embarrassing!"
"Neither embarrassing nor embarrassing? Hahaha!"
There are also persuasions, but generally speaking, most of them are booing.
"How about we kiss?"
"Don't ask me!"
"How about I give you a kiss, it's also to promote the movie!"
After speaking, Li Mu kissed Liu's lips superficially.
Satisfied, the audience gave out loud cheers.
On the stage, Shen Teng, Bao Qiang and other relevant main creators shouted "I am grass!"
Suddenly, I felt that the director seemed to be a little underwhelmed.
What did the director mutter just now?
"How about I give you a kiss, it's also to promote the movie!"
Come and listen...listen!
Is this still human?
What's the matter?Did you feel wronged by asking you to kiss me?
No matter how I hear this, I feel embarrassed.
After the interaction, it was a movie watching session as usual. As the lights dimmed and the movie was officially played, the laughter in the screening hall basically never stopped.
Many audience members were laughing, and some even burst into tears.
When Liu Yifei was smiling the happiest, she turned to look at Li Mu, and seeing that Li Mu wasn't smiling, she secretly scratched Li Mu's palm.
"Why don't you smile?"
"Me? I've seen it too many times, and I don't feel it anymore."
"Oh! Why are you pinching me?"
"I've watched the movie too many times and I don't feel it. What about me, have I watched enough and I don't feel it anymore?"
Li Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Do I feel like you don't know?"
……
On the second day, the major media outlets were in full swing.
"The premiere of "Not Embarrassed" was watched by thousands of people, and the audience burst into laughter over a hundred times!"
"The premiere of "Non-囧" received rave reviews and thunderous laughter, and the audience strongly demanded that the '囧' series continue to be filmed!"
""Non-囧" received rave reviews, and the audience said, "If Huashang blockbusters are released every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, then the "Spring Festival file" will sooner or later become China's first schedule!""
"It is reported that the pre-sale box office of "Not Embarrassed" has broken the 1.8 million mark, of which the pre-sale box office on the first day of the Lunar New Year alone has exceeded 1.2 million. The record for the premiere of a Chinese film may be refreshed again!"
The directors and producers in the circle are basically paying attention to the word-of-mouth of "Non-囧". Those so-called rave reviews, thunderous laughter, continuous hilarious laughter, and hilarious hilarious stories are basically ignored, because they are of little significance. They all play movies, they know the routines, and they all know that it is a bad movie, but they can still buy a bunch of drafts with rave reviews.
But the news about the pre-sale box office cannot be ignored.
Regardless of the several large-scale ticket supplements of Maoyan and group bookings, many young people have already known that buying tickets online can be very cheap. It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least at this stage, choose to buy tickets on the spot in the ticket hall The audience is still absolutely mainstream.
Few people buy tickets on the spot many days in advance, so can the pre-sale of 1.2 million on the first day of "Non-囧" account for half of the total box office on the first day?
If many viewers who want to watch "Fei囧" choose to buy tickets on the spot on the first day of the Lunar New Year, then with the addition of 1.2 million, the box office on the first day of "Fei囧" will be terrible, right? !
"It won't really break 2 million on the first day, right?"
Thinking of the figure of 2 million, the directors and producers who are always paying attention to the news about "Non-囧" can't help but tremble.
Sorry for the delay.Updates resume today.
