Chapter 878 Not Calm Down Anymore!
Huafei Film and Television, General Manager Office.
four people.
Hu Fei and Qin Wei stood in the middle of the huge office, among them Hu Fei still held the TV remote control in his hand, while Ming Xiaojing and Kang Xiaolou sat on the sofa with a little embarrassment.
Just now everyone was talking about "Unfinished Love" going to Europe to participate in the film festival. Hu Fei answered the phone, and then everyone's attention was shifted instantly.
Because Hu Fei turned on the TV in the office in the past.
What is being broadcast on the TV is a piece of cultural and entertainment news. The whole room, including Ming Xiaojing and his wife, are actually watching it very seriously and attentively——
"...It is reported that with the arrival of the weekend, the crowds of major movie theaters surged, most of them came to watch "Red Sorghum". won one Golden Bear Award and three Silver Bear Awards, and received widespread attention and expectations from all over the country."
"However, according to the news received by our reporter, because the number of "Red Sorghum" films in major movie theaters is too small, many viewers can't buy tickets if they want to buy them, so they can only stand in long queues in the movie theaters, and some even There is a sign of 'high price ticket collection', which shows how hard it is to get a ticket! Our reporter interviewed the audience who went to the cinema to buy tickets to watch the movie, and the relevant personnel of the cinema to see what they said— —”
"Hello, are you here to watch a movie, right? What movie do you want to watch?"
""Red Sorghum"! It's the movie of the leader, but I can't buy tickets!"
"Since when have you been unable to buy tickets?"
"I don't know. I saw this when I came here. There are so many people queuing up. It is said that today's tickets are sold out. Everyone is waiting for the movie theater to coordinate the show. I don't know how long it will be!"
In the depth of the shot, there are crowds of people in front of the box office of the movie theater.
"Hello, what movie did you go to see?"
""Red Sorghum"! Li Qian's new movie, my friend told me it's very good, I regret it if I don't watch it, this movie won the first prize in Berlin or something! Anyway, it is said that it is a good movie that I haven't seen for many years. I came to see it, but... I couldn't buy a ticket!"
Helpless face, looking back.
Reporter, "Did you come early in the morning?"
The audience, "Huh? No... No! This is the third one I came to. I went to the other two first, but I couldn't get a ticket. I think the movie theater here is bigger. You can buy it, but you can’t buy it in the end!”
"Would you wait then? . . . I mean, that many people?"
"Hey...wait, let's talk about it! Everyone is waiting! The main reason is to rest for two days, and there are other arrangements for tomorrow. If you don't like it today, you can't watch it until next week!"
Camera cut.
"Hello, you are the manager of this theater, right? May I ask when did this phenomenon of queuing up to buy tickets appear?"
"Since last night? It should be in the afternoon, maybe five or six o'clock. Originally, the tickets for this movie are relatively easy to sell. Although it is a weekday, the attendance rate is generally around 70% to 80%. It can pass 90%, but no one thought that yesterday afternoon, Friday, suddenly, many people came to buy tickets. It was less than an hour, and the time was less than 6:30. Tickets for all the shows last night They were all sold out! It was like a rush, and I was surprised!"
"So, now we are interviewing some audiences. Everyone said that they are waiting for the cinema to adjust the schedule and the number of shows, and waiting for you to add more shows, but it seems that there is no news until now?"
The theater manager looked helpless, "We are a chain theater, and all the copying, arranging, and screenings are arranged uniformly above, so if this happens, we will of course report it immediately, and the company is also there. Coordinating with the distributor, it is urgent to mobilize some copies there, and increase the number of our screenings, I believe it will be soon, because the distribution company is in Shuntianfu! Soon! Uh... Our Oriental Cinemas is the largest in the country One of the theater chains, it will definitely be able to get the copy as soon as possible, welcome everyone..."
The reporter quickly withdrew the microphone, "Okay, thank you! Uh, that's good... Moderator, my interview is over."
The camera returned to the studio, and the host said: "Then let's connect with our other reporter. He is now at the distribution company of "Red Sorghum", Minghu Culture Group..."
The camera cuts.
"Hello host, hello viewers, I am now in the distribution department of Minghu Culture Company, so the person in front of me is the distribution department manager of Minghu Culture, Manager Xu Bing, Hello, Manager Xu!"
"Hello!"
Xu Bing looked calm.
Reporter, "Manager Xu, can you tell me about the current release schedule? Are there any adjustments? Everyone is waiting to watch the movie, but the movie theaters are a little caught off guard. It seems that everyone is not mentally prepared for this movie's popularity? What's the plan for coming down?"
Xu Bing said indifferently: "No! We have sufficient preparations, and we knew before the movie was released that this movie will definitely be a hit, because it is our boss' movie!"
"The reason for this situation is that the theaters in our country have always doubted the ability of literary films to sell well. In fact, in Western countries, such as the North American film market, the market mechanism there is very mature. The movie-watching concept of the TV series is also relatively mature, but there are also several very, very blockbuster literary films there every year!"
"After all, what everyone is watching is a movie and a story. The so-called literary and commercial movies are just filmmakers and theaters who classify the movies, but the audience doesn't care about that. They just want to watch good things. Movies, and good-looking movies, there is no way to make one size fits all with literary movies and commercial movies..."
With a sizzle sound, the TV screen closed and then went dark.
Ming Xiaojing was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Hu Fei who was standing in the middle of the office in front of him in astonishment, and heard Qin Wei say coldly there, "Bragging is good!"
Hu Fei looked sideways at Qin Wei, with a helpless look on his face, "Li Qian has a good relationship with Shuntian Satellite TV, that's not ordinary! But...it's interesting, he was able to mobilize the news to give him such a segment, which is amazing! "
After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at Ming Xiaojing, "Stop talking, let's talk about "Unfinished Love"!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was opened. Du Chengbang opened the door and came in. He opened his mouth and said, "Did you see that Shuntian Satellite TV is reporting "Red Sorghum"!"
Speaking of which, he had already stepped in and closed the door, with a look of displeasure, and said: "That guy Li Qian's connections are really strong enough, so many theaters teamed up, they can't hold back." Stop him!"
As soon as his words fell, Qin Wei suddenly couldn't hold back.
"You ran to the radio show last night, what did you say?"
Seeing his menacing appearance, Du Chengbang hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything, I just... just expressed that I don't like his box office!"
"Is it just that you don't like it?" Qin Wei asked angrily.
Du Chengbang hesitated for a moment, but still bit the bullet and said: "It's really just not optimistic!"
Qin Wei took a deep breath, turned around and walked to Hu Fei's desk, picked up a few newspapers, flipped through them, walked over, stuffed them into Du Chengbang's arms, and said, "Look for yourself!"
Du Chengbang was a little stunned, opened the newspaper, and quickly found a paragraph——
"... It is reported that Du Chengbang, director Qin Wei's manager, took part in a radio program last night and vowed that the box office of "Red Sorghum" would never exceed 100 million! However, on Friday, the national average After an attendance rate as high as 97%, the film earned a box office of 16.64 million in a single day, and its total national box office in the four days of its release has reached 53.15 million!"
"According to the forecast of relevant box office experts specially engaged by this newspaper, after yesterday's high attendance rate and high box office, there is currently no film on the market that can compete with "Red Sorghum". Quickly adjust the film schedule, so on Saturday and Sunday, if there is no accident, with the increase in the film schedule and the number of shows, the box office of "Red Sorghum" will usher in a strong explosion, and it will exceed 50 million in two days. It's not big, it's completely reasonable to exceed 100 million in the first week..."
Du Chengbang raised his head in astonishment, a little tongue-tied.
Qin Wei said loudly: "If you want to get out of the way, you can definitely choose those that are not easy to be wronged, and they are justified anyway. You say that there are problems with the movie, performance, or even the soundtrack. Okay, if you say that the public is right and the woman is right, it’s just a matter of disagreement! Why the hell do you have to talk about the box office? Things like this will come to fruition immediately, once you guess wrong, you won’t be able to find it. Make people face?"
"Could you be more mindful in the future?"
Du Chengbang was speechless, he just kept saying "I...I...", and then his eyes wandered all over the place, as if he wanted to ask someone for help.
But Hu Fei turned his head and looked away, pretending not to see him.
But Ming Xiaojing and Kang Xiaolou simply lowered their heads.
Fortunately, after all, Du Chengbang has been with Qin Wei for many years. He must have some friendship along the way. In fact, it is precisely because of his friendship that he speaks more impolitely.
However, after finishing speaking, Qin Wei said angrily, "I'm going to edit the film, let's chat!" Then he slammed the door and left.
Then, Du Chengbang hesitated for a moment, and quickly chased him out.
When they were all gone, Hu Fei turned around and shrugged at Ming Xiaojing, "Yes! Then go according to the plan you just made! Lao Qin's suggestion is still very professional, so Cannes!"
…………
After leaving Hu Fei's office, Ming Xiaojing kept walking with his head down, and when he entered the elevator, he also looked down at his toes, looking depressed.
Seeing that she had reached the underground garage, and the elevator was still going down, Kang Xiaolou patted her on the shoulder.
Ming Xiaojing turned to look at him, and leaned into his arms.
"You said... did we choose the wrong one at the beginning?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Master Qin is your mentor, no matter how much you sacrifice, you must stand by his side!"
"Um."
"Actually... Back then we didn't have to choose sides at all, no one forced you anyway! The main reason is this movie... Sigh!"
Ming Xiaojing was speechless.
"Stop talking! Stop talking!"
Kang Xiaolou sighed, saying that he didn't want to talk about it, but couldn't help but said: "In the blink of an eye, Li Qian has already been crowned with "Red Sorghum"! Best movie, best actor, best actress The protagonist actually won the best cinematography! This class, this class... Oh, amazing! If the box office can explode again, let alone other things, even if it is true to what is said in the news and newspapers, If it can exceed 100 million, then Li Qian is amazing!"
The elevator stopped.
The door opens.
Kang Xiaolou patted Ming Xiaojing on the shoulder, and wanted to go out, but he tried, but Ming Xiaojing didn't move.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at her husband, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just lowered her head and sighed.
Speaking of which, their son also played a very important role in "Red Sorghum"! Not only dedicated to the big screen debut, but also a scene with a lot of sacrifice and a lot of shame...
However, it has been a long time since we lost contact.
In fact, after the incident, if Li Qian sold himself or Kang Xiaolou in a fit of rage, no matter how harsh his scolding was, it would be like "If you want money, I will give it to you. If you want me to act, I will act. Stop playing, what do you think of me!" and so on, it doesn't matter how ugly it is, if he scolds, Ming Xiaojing feels less uncomfortable in her heart-it seems that if Li Qian scolds her head, she It feels like they are still friends.
But, from the beginning to the end, Li Qian didn't even say a bad word.
Unsatisfied with previous shots, do you want to reshoot?
good!
The money is not enough, do you want me to invest more?
good!
Want me to play? but my time...
good!
Every time, it is a word - good!
Including last year, Qin Wei made a phone call, and Gu Shidao said that he could no longer make films produced by Minghu Culture. Thinking of Shi En, thinking of the film after it was finished, he wanted to take it to a film festival in Europe——
"Qian'er, my "Unfinished Love"..."
"good!"
At that time, I felt heart-warming and uncomfortable, but thinking about it now, I feel even more uncomfortable.
It's funny to say that the very important point that made me make up my mind at the beginning was that I felt that the director of photography for this film must be Gu Shidao. In the film circle, as Qin Wei's royal photographer, he has always been recognized as one of the three most outstanding Chinese cinematographers.
At the beginning, Li Qian suggested that Fu Xuelong should not be in charge of the mirror, and repeatedly said that his strength is not low. Otherwise, let Jin Han go...
But he was directly rejected by himself.
Just bewildered!
Facts have proved that in the past year, Fu Xuelong, on behalf of Chinese cinematographers, won the first top international award - the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography at the Berlin Film Festival!
A "Red Sorghum" and a Silver Bear Award have proved in fact that he is the most outstanding photographer in China today!
…………
After finding the car in the basement, Kang Xiaolou drove, and the car quickly drove out of the underground garage.
Suncheon in mid-March is sunny.
Dazzlingly bright.
