Chapter 631 Finished!
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Happy wrap!"
With the shout of the stagehand, all the crew members of "Dear" shouted in unison: "Eggplant!"
A group photo with bright smiles was born.
After taking the group photo, Xu Wei stood up with a smile and took the initiative to applaud: "Thank you for your hard work. It is really not easy to shoot in winter."
"I have prepared red envelopes for everyone."
Of course, the red envelopes would not contain much money, just a fifty-yuan paper and pen, just for good luck and celebration.
But Wu Yuan's behavior can make people feel more touched, at least the director is really thanking everyone.
"Thank you, director!"
"The director has worked hard too!"
"It's not hard to shoot such a good movie!"
Is "Dear" a good movie?
Everyone has his own opinion.
At least after Wu Yuan modified and integrated it himself, he was still very satisfied with the script.
And Huang Bo and other actors also contributed the most exciting performances.
Perhaps the box office of this movie is unlikely to reach the height of "Lost in Thailand", but Wu Yuan is still very satisfied with this movie.
He wants to make such a movie, a movie that will make the audience think deeply and gain some insights after watching it.
Rather than the kind of popcorn movie that makes people laugh after watching it without even thinking about it.
It's not that popcorn movies are bad. The world needs popcorn movies, and Wu Yuan also likes to watch this kind of movie.
But for him, popcorn movies are no longer difficult to shoot, and he certainly wants to make some more meaningful movies.
If you want to leave a name in film history, you still have to rely on it to be a classic movie work when you look back at it ten, fifty, or a hundred years later.
"Dear" is certainly not such a work, but at least it is Wu Yuan's attempt to go this way.
"Everyone has worked hard!"
After thanking him again, Wu Yuan disbanded the crew on the spot.
Most of the crew members still have to follow him back to Beijing, and the other actors have their own places to go.
For example, Huang Bo will immediately start the follow-up promotion of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
Huang Bo is the busiest actor this year.
After all, the promotion period of Lost in Thailand has just ended, and he has to continue the promotion of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
In fact, when Wu Yuan gave the crew a Spring Festival holiday, Huang Bo used this time to cooperate with the promotion of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons. He didn't rest for a day.
There is no way, I am really embarrassed to ask for leave again this time.
In fact, if it were not for Wu Yuan's invitation, Huang Bo would not have been able to take the role in the period from December to February 2012.
He knew very well that he had two movies to be released during this period and would be very busy.
It was only because Wu Yuan took the initiative to invite him, and he said that he didn't mind Huang Bo going to promote, that Huang Bo gritted his teeth and took on the movie Dear.
This resulted in him sleeping an average of only about 4 hours a day in the past three months, and he was mainly a kryptonian.
Wu Yuan also had to admire that Huang Bo could maintain a high level of acting skills and play a role that satisfied him despite being so busy. This was not easy.
It can only be said that Huang Bo is worthy of being an actor who has worked his way up from the bottom. He knows how hard it is to get an opportunity, and he has to grit his teeth and do his best.
Wu Yuan waved to Huang Bo in a chic manner, said goodbye to him, and left Yunnan and Guizhou first to return to Beijing.
Huang Bo also embarked on the roadshow.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has been released for 20 days.
From New Year's Eve to the present January 20th of the lunar calendar, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has once again refreshed various data.
From the first day of the Lunar New Year, it earned 76.85 million yuan, and the box office exceeded 220 million yuan in three days, once again refreshing the box office record of Chinese-language films.
In just 9 days, the box office exceeded 700 million, breaking 14 box office records, surpassing "Transformers 3" to become the highest-grossing movie in a single day, surpassing "Titanic" to become the highest-grossing movie in a single day, and surpassing "Lost in Thailand" to become the fastest Chinese-language film to exceed 700 million.
This movie has been full of sparks and lightning, not only recasting the glory for Stephen Chow, but also creating a new box office miracle.
The box office champion throne that has not yet been warmed up by "Lost in Thailand" has also been broken.
Speaking of this, Wu Yuan also finds it interesting.
On the original trajectory, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" should not have broken the record.
The final box office of "Lost in Thailand" was 12.46 billion, while "Conquering the Demons" only won 1.246 billion.
In the end, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" still lacked the box office performance of "Lost in Thailand" by 20 million, which also surprised people in the industry. The special effects blockbuster with a large investment did not beat the comedy movie with small and medium investment.
At this point, the fire of comedy movies in the mainland immediately burned up.
But in this world changed by Wu Yuan, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" finally broke the record of "Lost in Thailand" and won 1.321 billion box office.
This is thanks to Wu Yuan.
It is precisely because Wu Yuan introduced the concept of IMAX 3D to the domestic film market earlier that domestic movie theaters began to pay attention to IMAX 3D theaters earlier and pay attention to ordinary theaters.
Therefore, when "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released this time, the number of IMAX 3D screenings sold was much higher than before.
As we all know, the ticket price of IMAX 3D movies is much higher than that of ordinary 3D movies, and the viewing effect is also very different.
Although both require wearing 3D glasses and have 3D effects, they are indeed worlds apart.
Originally, it should be "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" that really made movie fans feel this gap.
The final moment of watching a movie in an IMAX 3D theater, when the Buddha's Palm falls from the sky, is completely different from that in an ordinary 3D theater.
But in this world, because of Wu Yuan's "Gravity", many movie fans already know the difference between ordinary 3D and IMAX 3D.
So many movie fans who originally planned to watch only 3D or ordinary shows gritted their teeth and spent a lot of money to buy IMAX 3D shows.
And they also have reasons to convince themselves.
After all, it's the Chinese New Year!
Wouldn't it be good to take your family to watch a good, truly top-level IMAX 3D movie?
My parents have never experienced this kind of movie in their lives!
Therefore, with almost no change in the number of moviegoers, the final box office of this life's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was higher, surpassing "Lost in Thailand" because of the different ticket prices.
Wu Yuan only learned about this when he received the statistics of his own Light and Shadow Times Cinema.
The IMAX 3D theaters under the Light and Shadow Times Cinema were almost full during this Spring Festival!
And all IMAX 3D theaters showed the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons"!
How can the producer not make money? How can the box office not be high?
However, as a theater chain, it is also very happy to see this scene. The construction of IMAX 3D theaters is very expensive, and it is definitely a good thing to be full!
It was also after seeing this situation that Wu Yuan confirmed that the domestic film market has matured, and the era of IMAX 3D movies will officially arrive. He can indeed make an IMAX 3D commercial blockbuster!
Chinese Film, your emperor is coming back! (End of this chapter)
