Chapter 612 20.8 Million on the First Day
Well, this year's Harper's Bazaar, the contradiction can be seen in the group photo.
Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun, Li Lianhua, Fan Jiuyi, five first-line celebrities, and Huang Xiaoming stood on the stage...
At this time, Fan Jiuyi and Zhao Yanzi were still rumored to be at odds with each other, such as slapping each other and competing for roles, so the positions were very clear. There were four big flowers on the left, with Huang Xiaoming in the middle, and Fan Jiuyi stood alone on the right. .
Even the news headlines on Sohu and Sina are "Fan Jiuyi is squeezed out."
Oh, Chen Hao was filming and didn't attend the charity dinner at all...
In fact, Shen Xudong also knows that charity nights have become more of a show venue and a social occasion...
In addition to celebrities, more wealthy people participated!
Why do wealthy people participate in Bazaar charity?
One is to save face for "Harper's Bazaar", the other is to go on a catwalk for the sake of image, and the third is for some stamp collecting enthusiasts to see if there are any new products they like.
Promoting a movie on such an occasion?
Shen Xudong also thought his idea was funny...
Anyway, he will definitely not go there again!
However, Da Tiantian was very interested in these things and chatted with Chen Xi about what happened last night.
In fact, it was Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Yanzi, Zhou Xun, and Li Lianhua who jointly squeezed out Fan Jiuyi!
Sister Jiuyi has been very pitiful in the past two years. After leaving Huayi, the public relations team has not been completed yet, and she has been stepped on in various ways. Even Xu Jinglei came out to criticize her - the "Shinjuku Incident" incident, and later said it publicly "It's shameful to wear fancy clothes and maintain your reputation by walking on red carpets!", "Every time I hear this guy or that guy, I feel like the smell of the old society is coming to my face." It’s hard to speak correctly without listening to the Internationale several times. ’
There must be some closeness and distance in the circle. In the early years, Liu Jialing, Wang Fei, and Zhao Yanzi were very close;
Lotus and Wendi Deng, Michelle Yeoh's group;
Fan Jiuyi is probably her brother Xiaoqi, and no one else is willing to take her to play with him.
"Who are we close to?"
"...We are not close to anyone...No matter what industry we are in in China, we must closely follow the government..."
Shen Xudong couldn't help but interrupt: "Ahem... stop talking!"
Chen Xi: "Okay, then let me report the results of yesterday's midnight show?"
"Say it!"
"2.1 million, a new record..."
Before Shen Xudong spoke, Da Tiantian was very excited: "Wow! Really?"
"...How much has been done? Is it halfway through?"
Chen Xi whispered: "... Almost, after all, there are still very few people watching movies late at night!"
Da Tiantian didn't quite understand: "Swipe? What to brush?"
"Nothing, we are discussing Xuanfa investment..."
…
Midnight results…
There is a gross problem. With the current consumption consciousness of the audience, very few people will go to a midnight movie.
It’s just for publicity!
You must not create a situation where a phenomenal movie is released?
However, the real midnight performance of "Famous" was indeed good. Although it added 1 million, the real score of 1.1 million still set a new record for a domestic film. Therefore, 2.1 million, there is nothing wrong with it...
It’s a record anyway!
Once the movie is released, it’s much easier to promote it because you can answer many questions about the movie itself.
"I originally wanted to call it "The Birth of a Movie," but I didn't think it was grand enough... There happened to be a section in the script called "The Day When I Became Famous," so I just called it "The Day I Became Famous"!"
"Yes, nine out of ten projects are not successful... Many of the projects I participated in as a screenwriter in the early years were aborted. It is true that nine out of ten projects are not successful..."
"Screenwriters feel this matter more deeply than people in other positions, because screenwriters are the first to receive advances. Many times, after the advance is given, the project goes nowhere. This is normal."
"I first thought that the factors that drove the story were things that the crew often encountered, such as the financial chain being broken and the boss running away. Then seeing how this group of people insisted on finishing the film, the earliest title was "The Birth of a Movie" …But this kind of thing is very niche, just like the camera falling down or the actress running away is a big deal to us, but the audience doesn’t feel it personally, so it has to be a murder case and it has to interest the audience!”
"This story is actually very simple. What Qi Leshan said is only superficial. I believe everyone who has watched the movie can guess that Nightingale and Qi Leshan are actually Avengers..."
"I first showed it to Teacher Chen Daoming. After we finished filming "Blockbuster", he asked me if I had any new works. In fact, his subtext was whether there were any new works suitable for him... Teacher Chen Daoming's image is very suitable for playing an intellectual. , I thought of "Famous"... He liked the script very much after reading it, and showed it to Uncle Ge. Uncle Ge liked Guan Jingnian in it very much, and he was the one who brought director Xiaogang into the crew...Jiang Wen was Introduced by Teacher Xiaogang..."
"I never thought about making it pure suspense or pure comedy from the beginning. It must be a superposition of both sides... Filmmakers are actually quite sad. Great directors and actors have great energy and can make all the difference in the circle, but in real power In front of the agency, all of them have no fighting power. If they say they won’t let you shoot, you can’t shoot!”
"A sense of dislocation..."
"In addition, the whole story is actually a satire on the so-called filmmakers' sense of social responsibility. The truth they think has nothing to do with the truth!"
…
Shen Xudong directly interpreted the movie without any reservation...
To avoid being led by idiot film critics...
"The Sun Also Rises" was interpreted by film critics as incest, feudal ethics, and sexual repression...
Is it possible to have incest without feudal ethics?
When I look at the comments made by these filmmakers, I find them funny sometimes. They are full of nonsense and are completely out of line...
I'm really afraid that these film critics will label "Famous" as a 'gift to filmmakers'.
The hit-and-miss movie "One Second" is also a love letter to filmmakers...
Shen Xudong doesn't want "Famous" to crash at the box office!
I visited seven theaters in Shanghai today. When I got back to the hotel, my throat was dry...
Full of tiredness…
But I can’t rest yet, I have to eat something,
Shen Xudong glanced at Da Tiantian, Shen Teng and Wu Jing, and warned: "Don't go back to the room yet, eat something first..."
Da Tiantian was weak: "...I don't want to eat..."
"It's impossible not to eat. You have to eat something, even some soup...otherwise you won't have enough energy tomorrow..."
After Shen Xudong said this, Da Tiantian had no choice but to sit down. Huang Bin asked the hotel to bring a dining cart with four plates and four bowls, covered with a transparent dining cover, and a bottle of fruit wine hanging next to it.
"Don't drink wine, I have to catch a flight to Guangzhou early tomorrow morning..."
The few people spoke little and just ate in silence. I don’t know how long it took before they suddenly heard a clear beep.
Shen Xudong was shocked and quickly put down his chopsticks. He took out his phone and took a look. It was the first day's results sent by Chen Xi.
"how is it going?"
Several other people also heard their phones ringing, but didn't want to look at them and kept asking questions.
Da Tiantian simply stood up, opened her eyes wide, and stared unblinkingly.
"20.8 million. If you include the midnight show, it will be 22.9 million...not bad, barely meeting my expectations!"
As he spoke, Shen Xudong turned on the screen of his mobile phone. The next second, several people cheered...
Achievements of 20 million on the first day…
It's really shocking. So far, only "Transformers" has surpassed this result-"The Golden Jacket" only had 15 million on its first day...
Of course, "The Golden Jacket" starts showing at two o'clock in the afternoon, so you can't compare it like this.
But... who cares about media reports?
