Chapter 122 Eat the Old Money (the Fifth Update! Please Subscribe! Please Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
The news that Guan Shan is going to film "A Watch Against Seven Days of Love" has already started to build momentum these two days.
Since the popular star Guan Zhilin will appear and the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" will make a cameo appearance, many newspapers have already boasted about this "love comedy movie that is better than "The Wrong Seven Days of Love".
Of course Yin Jun knew about this, Guan Zhilin told Yin Jun.
And Yin Jun also knows why Guan Shan wanted to make this movie - he has no money now.
Guan Zhilin said that Guan Shan originally earned more than 4 million yuan, but he spent the rest of the money in addition to giving Zhang Bingqian 1 million for household use.
Guan Shan didn't say where it went, but Zhang Bingqian told his children that he must have given it to that little fox spirit.
More than 4 million yuan, and more than half of it was spent in less than half a year. Such a speed of spending is indeed a bit shocking.
Seeing that he only had about 500,000 in his hand, Guan Shan made up his mind again, preparing to make another movie similar to "Seven Days of Love" and make another profit.
However, Guan Shan did not ask Yin Jun to write the second script, perhaps because he slapped Guan Zhilin when he quarreled with his family because of Bao Xiaoqing'er, and then Yin Jun knew about it, so he was very It's because of embarrassment.
Or maybe, Guan Shan felt that this script was not difficult, and he could write one himself. Why should Yin Jun be in the limelight, so that people in the industry thought that the script made "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days", not his Guan Shan's. What about directing and acting?
In any case, the filming of "Beauty Against Seven Days of Love" started under such circumstances.
Guan Shan is still looking for the old team of his previous "The Wrong Seven Days of Love", even the female lead is the same, but the supporting roles have been changed.
In this world, successful people are always favored.
Many people don't know the main reason for the success of "The Wrong 7 Days of Love". They only watched Guan Shan gather the original cast, and they were going to film "The Watch to the Seven Days of Love", and there was also the recent red-hot "I wish you good luck". "Unparalleled" Guan Zhilin joined the starring role, and several starring actors of "Wulin Gaiden" confirmed that they would make cameo appearances. Many foreign film companies came to the door ahead of time, wanting to set the national screening rights in advance.
Guan Shan was not in a hurry, he just told those people that he was concentrating on filming now, and he would talk about everything after the filming was over.
In fact, Guanshan is just waiting for a price. The longer you wait, the more prices these people will give. If you can sell 10 million copyrights from other cities at a time, it will be really cool!
As for reporters asking about Guan Zhilin, they said that Yin Jun had prepared a role for Guan Zhilin, which was actually true.
"Chu Liuxiang" is destined to be a popular TV series, so Yin Jun asked Guan Zhilin if she wanted to play a second-tier heroine, that is, Song Tianer, one of Chu Liuxiang's three confidantes.
Guan Zhilin originally wanted to go, but Zhang Bingqian refused for her.
The reason is that Guan Zhilin has to go to class again, and also has to take into account the shooting of "Wulin Gaiden", so there is not so much time.
But in fact, it was because Zhang Bingqian had already decided to let the popular daughter join "A Watch for Seven Days of Love" and use her daughter's influence to make a lot of money in the movie.
Guan Shan had already told his wife that after the big box office sale this time, half of the money he made would be kept at home, and the rest would continue to make movies or buy stocks to make money. He would never give it to that woman again.
Zhang Bingqian believed it, so this time she was so attentive.
Guan Zhilin didn't like that her mother arranged for her to reject Brother Jun's kindness, but after Yin Jun heard about it, she asked her to help the family and didn't care. ...Although in Yin Jun's opinion, Guan Shan's "Seven Days of Love" should not have a very good result.
Because in 1985, two years after the release of "The Wrong 7 Days of Love" in the previous life, Zhang Tingjian couldn't get rid of the movie clichés of Xiangjiang, so he continued his efforts and found the later goddess Wang Zuxian to shoot "The Wrong Watch". The sequel to "Seven Days of Love", "Goodbye for Seven Days of Love", ended up with a box office of more than 6.6 million, ranking only 30th in the year, far lower than the box office and ranking of "The Wrong Seven Days of Love".
The reason is that the plot has fallen into a cliché. Without the natural and in-depth life of the first film "The Misunderstanding of the Seven Days", the plot seems to be a bit rigid, and the starring Er Dongsheng and Wang Zuxian do not have the previous Zhong Zhengtao and Ye Tong. The acting is good, but the results are not satisfactory.
Even Zhang Tingjian, who wrote and directed it, could not reproduce the glory of the second film, let alone that he was old and didn't know much about Guanshan that young people liked.
That alone can't be good at the box office.
Then, the interval between the first and the second part is too short, only half a year. How well the audience will accept it is not certain.
However, with the popularity of the first part, as well as the cameo appearance of "Wulin Biography" which is popular all over Asia, as well as the starring of the popular little junior sister Guan Zhilin, it should not be too bad, especially for "Wulin Biography" so popular The ratings, the box office in Southeast Asia will not be bad.
Oh, by the way, Zhang Bingqian originally wanted the most popular Wen Bixia to make a cameo appearance, but Guan Zhilin didn't know her very well on weekdays, and she always felt that the skinny black girl was looking at her a little bit. Something wasn't right, anyway, he wasn't very affectionate, and even when he talked to her, he was a little ignorant.
In this case, with Miss Guan's temper, how could she take the initiative to beg her?
But in the end, Wen Bixia agreed to make a cameo appearance in "Beauty of Love for Seven Days". This was not her idea, but Le Yiling told her that this face was for her brother Jun, and the Guan family took care of him a lot. It's like helping Brother Jun to return the favor.
The other actors in the crew, who are now equally popular, all remember Yin Jun's promotion to them, so it is absolutely reasonable to stand up for Yin Jun's little girlfriend's house and make a cameo appearance.
Even someone like Zheng Zeshi, who looked down on Yin Jun at first, almost kneels and licks Yin Jun now. That chubby face smiles when he sees Yin Jun, but his eyes are almost invisible. It shows how much he admires and appreciates Yin Jun. .
If there is no Yin Jun, how could they be the second-tier actors, how could they have today's scenery?
The five leading actors and a few minor leading actors each walked down the street and were sought after, clamoring for autographs. Once you have tasted this, you will not be willing to remain silent any longer.
Not to mention their contractual treatment. For those belonging to Jiashi, the salary conditions have increased several times, and all of them have re-signed new contracts with high signing fees. That said, it is absolutely top-notch.
A few freelancers who have not yet signed a contract, such as Zheng Zeshi, Zeng Zhiwei, Chen Baixiang and Zhong Zhengtao, have not stopped recently. Apart from the filming time, I don't know how many TV stations and film companies want to sign them.
But they were also smart. They knew that Yin Jun was a genius and that Yin Jun made them popular, so they came to ask Yin Jun for his opinion.
Yin Jun was originally a kind person, so he suggested that they wait until the broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden" reaches about 100 episodes, when the interests are maximized, then no matter what company it is, the conditions they can get are the best.
Several people took it seriously, so they felt relieved and continued to work hard to film.
You said that under such circumstances, how could they not be willing to help Guan Zhilin? Not to mention a cameo, even if it is a supporting role, they are willing.
Returning favors is one aspect, continue to have a good relationship with Yin Jun, and strive to be able to appear in Yin Jun's drama in the future to make yourself even more famous. This is the most desired goal in their hearts!
Yin Jun was a little relieved, but also a little embarrassed.
Letting everyone who is booming to participate in such a not-so-good movie will damage their reputation a bit.
Although it's not that the stars of Xiangjiang have never made bad films, their cameo appearance in this not-so-good film came about because of themselves. Yin Jun naturally felt that he should compensate them more in the future. Favor.
...
After sending off the shirt with a smile, when Cai Yongchang came back, he saw Zou Wenhuai's disdainful smile.
"Does he really think of himself as a character?" Zou Wenhuai held back his anger just now, but now that there are no outsiders, he directly scolds, "If all 15 Jiahe cinemas are to be released, we also need to find him 10 cinemas together. The premiere... the ability is not so big, but the heart is so big, I am really not afraid of eating and supporting!"
"The success of the last movie has made him feel high." Cai Yongchang said with a smile, "He is also a lion, and we will prepare a total of 12 homes for him. Anyway, he will find seven or eight himself. The family can watch it in his movie theater."
"If it weren't for the cameo in "Wulin Gaiden", I really don't want to pay attention to him!" Zou Wenhuai sneered, "I didn't even take a picture, so I have such a big tone. Who does he think he is? Yin Jun?"
"Speaking of which, this one is also very satisfied." Cai Yongchang nodded his head, "If I were him, why would Yin Jun have to write another script, even if it was a sequel, so that at least it can guarantee that there will be a "watch" The ability of more than 70% of "Wrong Seven Days of Love", plus so many popular stars to join, the local box office revenue is 5 million to 7 million is certain, and the box office in other cities will not be less than 20 million. It's a pity, once people succeed , it's easy to not see yourself clearly."
"Not everyone is as enchanting as Yin Jun." Zou Wenhuai shook his head and said, "I really can't see Yin Jun clearly, what can make him excited and make him behave like an ordinary person? This time, the price of the script sold to Jiashi and Li is terrifyingly high, and the sum is even higher than what we gave, but I haven't seen anything high-profile about him."
"Maybe it's because of different personalities. This little guy is quite calm. If he treats him sincerely, I believe there will be many places for cooperation in the future." Cai Yongchang said.
"Well, that's true." Zou Wen smiled, "By the way, how is the progress on Sanmao's side?"
"It's not bad, the filming is almost finished now, plus the post-production, it will be released in ten days at most." Cai Yongchang said, "Old He took the time to watch it, he said that the film should not be less than 5 million. the local box office.”
"Then step up, and strive to release it around September 10." Zou Wenhuai sighed, "Try not to be against 'The Seven Days of Love', although it may not be good, but the first week will definitely It's impossible to fight. It's really annoying, our strength is not enough, otherwise where would we need to enrich the theater with other people's movies?"
"I know."
Cai Yongchang smiled and said.
Even if "A Watch for Seven Days of Love" is a bad movie, with the super-selling of the previous film and the cameo appearances of popular stars, the box office in this first week will definitely not be much worse.
"Ghost Fighting Ghost" is just a small production. If you can't fight with it, try not to fight it.
Occupy two or three weeks of screen time by yourself, how good is it to win the box office alone?
"It's a pity, if it wasn't for Yin Jun, the top-grossing film in Xiangjiang this year would also be from Jiahe!" Zou Wenhuai suddenly sighed.
"Who said it wasn't? But don't worry about it. There are better movies, and that will prompt the Xu brothers to work harder to make good movies." Cai Yongchang laughed, "I think this year's "Selling Body Contract" , it can't compare to last year's "Fa Qianhan", let alone "Half a Catty Eight Two" the year before."
"He's repeating his own routine, of course not." Zou Wenhuai said, "Otherwise, even if it's lame, I'll have to give it 40 days, or even 50 days to paint it."
The two are talking about Xu Guanwen's new film "Sell. Body Deed".
In history, "Sell. Body Contract" was the box office champion in 1978, with a box office of more than 7.7 million.
However, the film "Seven Days of Love" came out three years earlier, and won more than 10 million box office in one breath, which made competitors desperate to see it.
Although "Sell. Body Contract" relied on the star effect of the Xu brothers, it won the box office of 4 million in the first week, breaking the first-week box office record of 3.7 million Hong Kong local films of "The Misunderstanding of Seven Days of Love", which once made Jiahe Refreshed.
However, in the following time, "Sell. Body Contract" obviously showed the shortcomings of lack of stamina. After three weeks of release, the box office was only 7.7 million. Even if it was released one more week than in history, the total box office was only 8.3 million.
In the fourth week, the box office increased by no more than 600,000. Excluding various expenses, there is basically nothing to earn.
Also because of this, Jiahe did not have the main push to release it in the fifth week, and could only watch "Sell. Body Deed" as the runner-up position.
However, the box office of "Sell. Body Contract" was good in other cities, and Jiahe made another huge profit.
"If Sanmao's film can rush into the top five of the year, it will be a victory for Jiahe." Cai Yongchang said, "I am more interested in Cheng Long's new film, which has been scheduled for early October. According to A Jun In other words, Cheng Long's film needs at least 5 million to meet his potential."
"Old He has confidence, so we should have confidence too." Speaking of this, Zou Wenhuai smiled slightly.
If it can really achieve the effect, then Jiahe will definitely poach people.
If you can find a future superstar that is not inferior to or even surpasses Li Xiaolong, he can wake up with a smile when he sleeps!
