Chapter 556: Announcing Relationships, Fighting Each Other, Creating Gossip, and Making Shady Moves. The Domestic Entertainment Industry Is in a Mess!

Chapter 556 Announcement of love affair, quarreling with each other, spreading scandals, engaging in sexual manipulation... the internal entertainment becomes a mess!

170 million, 145 million, 120 million...

With many positive reviews online, "Your Name" has officially entered the box office battle in August.

At the end of the three days of the first weekend, the total box office soared to 435 million!

When this number was exposed, the entire film and television industry was shocked!

A youth-themed movie can actually achieve such results. What is the difference between this and a fake movie?

Many producers and directors in the industry are analyzing why "Your Name" has such abnormal results?

"The fame of Chen Fei + Liu Yifei, coupled with the marketing method of 'screen couple', as well as multiple factors such as the high quality of the film and the novel storyline, combined together, this is the key to the success of the film. All of the above are missing." No…”

As the results emerged, many fell silent.

Because most of them cannot be copied.

Let me ask, which pair of male and female actors in the industry can compare with the popularity of CP between these two people?

The movie "HOLD Live in Love" released at the same time had a box office of 27 million on the first day due to the crazy scandal between Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei.

But on the second day, the box office dropped directly to 4.48 million, and on the third day, it was only a pitiful 3.97 million.

The film’s reputation is in shambles!

"There are quite a few celebrities, but it's a pity that the plot... I couldn't hold it anymore in the cinema."

"I left the theater before I finished watching. The whole movie was so underwhelming. I guess the director made it based on the popularity of these two people, right? Did he make the audience think they were fools? The worst movie this year!"

"It's just like a domestic horror movie. It's impossible to watch. What kind of on-screen couple is there? Compared to "Your Name", it's a completely bad movie!"

Obviously, after "Wu-Tang", Yang Mi's second bad movie starring this year has also been released.

Naturally, the Tang people would not let go of this opportunity to trample on their opponents.

Suddenly, a lot of negative information about Yang Mi appeared on the Internet, as well as abuse and ridicule from black fans and trolls.

Of course, this will not affect the popularity of "Your Name".

There have been many analyzes from experts and professors on the Internet.

In their view, this movie is likely to become the second domestic movie this year to have a box office of over 1 billion after "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King".

This statement was approved by many people!

It has only been released for three days, and the total box office has already exceeded 400 million.

As long as we continue to work hard in the remaining 27 days, relying on Chen Fei and Liu Yifei's super popularity, it should not be a problem to get 600 million box office.

"This seems to be another work where small-cost investment brings big gains..."

Many directors and producers in the industry were excited to see it.

At this moment, many people seem to have seen the scene when "The Flower of the Heart" exceeded 1 billion in box office.

The glory will be replicated again!

At the same time, all well-known directors in the Mainland and Hong Kong who have movies to be released in the second half of the year are paying attention to "Your Name".

Feng Xiaogang's "1942", Wang Jing's "Great Shanghai", Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", Lu Chuan's "The King's Feast"...

In their view, the movies they make definitely have the potential to be successful!

Even a low-budget literary, romantic and youth-themed movie like "Your Name" can be a hit, so there's no reason why my own movie can't be successful!

At the same time, several people issued an order in unison: "Intensify publicity and distribution efforts, and the market for domestic films has already started!

There is absolutely no problem with the quality of our videos. The most important thing now is the marketing method. I will deal with everything about the male and female protagonists falling in love, fighting each other, and promoting them... "

Unknowingly, a new marketing promotion channel was gradually opened up.

…

After the last round of national publicity activities, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Zhao Liying and others returned to the company.

"Sister Yifei, Director Chen, and my agent told me that recently many producers want to invite me to participate in the movies they invest in, and many advertising endorsements have also come to me. I am really popular! "

Looking at the cheering Zhao Liying, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"Yes, this is a good start. You can let your agent choose endorsements based on your style. This is also a source of income for celebrities."

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen, for your teaching."

"The publicity here has come to an end for the time being. I'm going to find Guo Fan and report to him. Next, let's prepare for "The Martian"."

Zhao Liying nodded quickly: "Okay, I will contact Director Guo later."

Compared with "Your Name", "The Martian" is undoubtedly better. After all, this is a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of more than 700 million!

Zhao Liying knows very well that by the time this movie is finished, she will be firmly in the second and top ranks.

Next, if she can star in a movie with a female lead, or a TV series with explosive popularity and ratings, then she will easily step into the front line!

At this moment, she suddenly felt like she was on a cable car and soaring all the way up!

Liu Yifei seemed to have thought of something at this time, and suddenly said: "By the way, Guo Fan contacted me a few days ago and wanted me to audition for the female lead in "The Martian"."

The Martian?

Female lead?

Chen Fei was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly guessed what this guy was thinking.

"No wonder he is called the 'alms master'. This guy is really professional in fooling people!"

He curled his lips and replied casually: "Since he has invited you, then you can go. This role is quite challenging and very different from your usual style."

Very challenging? !

These words instantly aroused Liu Yifei's competitive spirit!

She turned to look at Zhao Liying and said, "Let's go together. You go to the group for training, and I'll go to the audition..."

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Chen Fei interrupted her quickly, "Today is already the 26th, and we have to rush to Venice to attend the film festival on the 28th. You suddenly ran to the crew of "The Martian". Can you catch the plane?"

"It seems so."

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, suddenly clenched her fist and gently hit her head, blinking her somewhat confused eyes: "Look at my memory, then let's talk about it after I come back from the film festival."

...

On the 27th, under the attention of many people, "Dangerous Liaisons" starring Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Baizhi was released.

At the same time, the first week box office results of "Double Exposure" starring Fan Bingbing were freshly released.

18.759 million.

This result is very good in the field of literary and artistic dramas. Many old artists and old actors in the circle are praising Fan Bingbing's acting skills for being mature.

At the same time, many people also focused on the box office of "Dangerous Liaisons" and Zhang Ziyi's acting skills.

These two have been fighting from the first half of the year to the second half of the year for this moment.

The higher the box office of the movie starring a star, the more praises he gets, which naturally means that he wins!

As a senior melon-eating crowd, Chen Fei is of course also paying attention to the competition between these two popular actresses.

However, before he got the first-day box office results of "Dangerous Liaisons", he saw another piece of news.

The organizer of the Golden Horse Awards officially announced that the chairman of the jury of this year's Golden Horse Awards will be Liu Dehua, and Li An will be hired as the director in charge.

As soon as this news came out, it directly triggered a heated discussion in the mainland!

Last year, many directors in the circle openly boycotted the Golden Horse Awards, so that the Golden Horse Awards of that year were simply dim.

And this time, with the appearance of Liu Dehua and Li An, the online reputation of the Golden Horse Awards has improved a lot.

"Haha, Liu Dehua is the chairman of the jury, doesn't that mean that mainland films have a chance to win the grand prize?"

"Putting aside other things, I personally trust Brother Hua very much. I can guarantee that there will be no trouble at this year's Golden Horse Awards."

"Chinese-language films! All go to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards! We want to rewrite history and strongly suppress Hong Kong films..."

In just one afternoon, many acquaintances in the industry called Chen Fei.

"The Taiwanese media reported that they are inviting you to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards. Is that true?"

"I don't know!" Chen Fei shrugged and replied casually: "Director Jiang, you know that I am almost isolated from these domestic awards. I haven't even been to the Huabiao. How can I participate in the Golden Horse?"

"That's right." Jiang Wen quickly came to his senses: "It seems that the Taiwanese media is trying to take advantage of your popularity."

"Whatever they say, I will definitely not go anyway. I have several movies to be released in the second half of the year. Where do I have the time to flatter the Golden Horse?"

Liu Dehua did call him, but he refused.

Even though the other party promised solemnly that as long as he was willing to come, he would definitely leave him a heavyweight award, but he was not tempted at all.

At present, the Golden Horse Awards is indeed the most valuable among the Chinese-language film festivals.

But no matter how valuable it is, can it be higher than the three major European film festivals?

What's more, although Chen Fei believes in Liu Dehua, he does not believe in the organizers of the Golden Horse Awards.

These people are all evil, who knows what evil thoughts they have?

He doesn't want to be a sedan chair for others.

Imagine if Liu Yifei competed for the best actress with "Your Name", but eventually lost to "Girlfriend, Boyfriend" starring Gui Lunmei, what kind of scene would it be?

Just thinking about it, Chen Fei felt panic in his heart.

It would be better to have a good sleep at home with air conditioning.

However, when he saw the various discussions about the Golden Horse Awards online, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Damn, if the Golden Rooster Awards didn't do anything weird, how could mainland movies be so embarrassing? They even fell to the point of needing recognition from outsiders..."

...

"Mi Mi, I have good news for you. The three movies "The Four", "The Great Wudang" and "HOLD Live Love" have all been sent to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. You are likely to get a nomination for Best Actress."

Listening to the news conveyed by Zeng Jia, Yang Mi couldn't hide her excitement: "Really? Are you sure you can get a nomination?"

"I'm not sure about that." Zeng Jia shook her head and added: "I heard from the people at Guangguang that Wang Changtian seems to want to promote "The Four" and take the opportunity to sell the copyright at a high price."

Hearing this, the smile on Yang Mi's face quickly faded.

If you want to sell the copyright, you must compete for the Best Picture. Her nomination for the best actress must be ranked at least fourth.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and finally Best Actress.

Shaking her head, Yang Mi quickly put the matter behind her. After all, she didn't think she would be lucky enough to win the Best Actress Award at the Golden Horse Awards.

Domestic awards are almost all clearly marked with prices. What matters is not acting skills, but connections and resources.

And these happen to be what she lacks now.

"Is there no news from Mr. Huo and the crew of "The Martian"?"

During this period, Yang Mi has not continued to take on new dramas. Her goal is directly aimed at the science fiction masterpiece with an investment of more than 700 million yuan.

"Not yet."

Zeng Jia shook her head, her face not looking good: "According to the news I heard, Zhao Liying, Wu Jing, Zhang Yi and others have already joined the group and started training, but the male and female protagonists have not been decided yet."

"Has the audition invitation been sent out yet?"

"I heard... Currently only Liu Yifei has been invited to audition, and other actresses have not received audition invitations yet."

As soon as the voice fell, Yang Mi's expression instantly turned cold, and her eyes were full of frost.

"Why is it her again?! Why are all the good resources occupied by her? When I signed the contract, it was agreed that I would be given an audition opportunity for each movie. What? Do they want to breach the contract?"

As an agent, Zeng Jia naturally stood on the side of Yang Mi.

Her tone was also full of indignation at this time: "I will go to Director Huo right now, and he must give us an explanation!"

Both of them looked as if they had been greatly wronged, but they had never considered whether they could bear such a science fiction masterpiece with hundreds of millions of investment?

And the most important thing is that the condition agreed upon when signing the contract was that as long as it was a movie directed by Chen Fei, Yang Mi would be given a chance to audition for the female lead.

This does not include people like Guo Fan and Ning Hao.

This wave of arguments is really specious!

...

When it comes to doing tricks, Zhang Ziyi is also a well-known "veteran" in the circle.

In order to increase the box office of "Dangerous Liaisons", on the first day of the movie's release, she actually pulled out her new boyfriend to stand up for the movie together.

Xiao Sa also tasted the bitterness this time.

Many people on the Internet are complaining, has the international Zhang changed her appetite? She actually stopped hugging the thigh of the sponsor and turned to hug the thigh of the "talented man".

This operation is really fresh!

There are even many people who went to Xiao Sa's Weibo to persuade him, saying that he can't control the woman's ambition at all.

Whether it is wealth or cultural literacy, the two parties are completely in two different worlds.

Different circles, want to force integration...

How easy is it?

But it must be said that with Zhang Ziyi's sudden announcement of a new relationship, the film has successfully attracted a lot of attention.

Especially the sentence she said in front of the media, "I just want to find a good and honest man to marry", which directly rushed to the top of the Weibo hot search list, attracting the attention and criticism of tens of thousands of people!

Chen Fei saw the film attendance data reported by the media.

According to comprehensive estimates, the attendance rate of "Dangerous Liaisons" on the first day of the public screening was as high as 80%!

Although it is far less than "Your Name", it is much better than "Double Exposure" starring Fan Bingbing.

The next morning, under the attention of many people, the first day box office was freshly released!

The box office data successfully broke through the 10 million level and reached 11.6 million!

If it is just a comparison of box office, then it is obvious that "Dangerous Liaisons" starring Zhang Ziyi will beat "Double Exposure" starring Fan Bingbing.

However, the former has an investment of 200 million, while the latter is less than 30 million. This premise is definitely unavoidable.

If we judge from multiple dimensions such as the film's reputation and the actors' acting skills, "Double Exposure" completely beats "Dangerous Liaisons"!

Zhang Ziyi was still very stubborn that day and issued a lot of press releases, mainly attacking Fan Bingbing around the box office.

But when the box office results came out the next day, she suddenly fell silent.

6.66 million...

Even though this is a very auspicious number, when it is linked to the film's box office results, it will still be criticized and ridiculed.

Chen Fei did not forget to continue eating melons on his way to the Venice Film Festival.

As soon as he logged into the film and television information network, he saw a lot of reviews and discussions about "Dangerous Liaisons".

"The film is a mess. It's just a simple truth, but it has to be expressed in various complicated ways. What's the idea?"

"The director has tried very hard to create the atmosphere he wants, but the script is like shit, no one can save it. As for acting, I feel that Zhang Ziyi's peak is only that "Memoirs of a Geisha"."

"The box office on the first day was okay, but the box office on the second day collapsed. Tsk, tsk, is this the work that the international Zhang took 20 million yuan to shoot?"

"Obviously, from box office to word of mouth to acting, Fan Bingbing crushed Zhang Ziyi."

"You still have the nerve to ask the director to add more scenes for you and change your role, and you perform at this level? Tsk, tsk, I suggest you quit the entertainment industry. You might as well donate 20 million yuan to charity. The heroine chosen is a complete money-loser!"

For actors, commercial value and box office appeal are always the basis for gaining a foothold in the industry.

Zhang Ziyi is actually a very proud person, otherwise she would not have blocked Li Jian on the set during the casting process for "Lust, Caution" and asked to play the female lead.

And now, the words "losing money" directly shattered the remaining pride in her heart to pieces!

After breaking her guard, Zhang Ziyi naturally would not give up and immediately started to reply: "Here, I want to warn some people and her fans, please pay attention to your personal quality and don't bite randomly like a mad dog! It's just annoying. Ridiculous!"

When it comes to attack power, Fan Bingbing is not much worse than Zhang Ziyi.

The reply quickly appeared on Weibo:

"Cause people to laugh at? Hahaha, wouldn't someone worry about making people laugh at the things they do abroad, at parties, or on the beach?"

This reply can be called a killer!

"Good guy, Fan Bingbing's public relations team is so awesome! Who in the industry can match this fighting ability of an actress?"

Hearing Chen Fei's sudden sigh, Liu Yifei, who was watching the drama on the other side, came over curiously.

From a calm look on her face at the beginning to a look of shock later on, she completed the switch in just one minute!

"So many sailors!? Are they all Fan Bingbing's people?"

"That's right."

Chen Fei nodded slowly, sighing secretly in his heart, these 800,000 navy troops have begun to take shape!
