Chapter 399 Ending, Regret (Asking for Monthly Votes)

On June 19, "Sunspots" was released, with a single-day box office of 130 million. On July 19, "Sunspots" was released for a month, and the single-day box office even on Sunday only won less than 5 million. It can be said that the potential is completely gone.

But for the crew, they are already satisfied, and they are even about to celebrate with gongs and drums in the imperial capital.

2 billion.

When the art film "Sunspots" broke 2 billion, it was almost crazy.

You know, the number of 2 billion in an art film is really a record.

Even Ning Ping didn't expect it.

He thought it would be good to break 500 million.

Now the potential of "Sunspots" has basically been tapped. The box office in the last week has fallen sharply. At present, it seems that the final box office will break 2.1 billion.

But who dares not be satisfied? ? ?

Liu Jing was eager to celebrate at this time.

Because for Liu Jing, he has also had two consecutive movies fail, not only that, his reputation has also suffered serious negative effects.

It is often the case that actors need to rely on their works to speak.

Why did Liu Jing take on the movie "Sunspots"? ? ?

He just wanted to tell everyone that he is still the actor who won the Best Actor Award.

Not only that, Liu Jing wanted to return directly with this art film.

Because of this, Liu Jing almost didn't ask for a salary. From the beginning, he thought that as long as this movie didn't fail, even if the box office was 100 million, it would be fine.

That's right.

What else do you want for art films? ? ?

100 million, that's a ball in the sky.

As a result, no one expected that this movie actually broke 2 billion, and the current final box office broke 2.1 billion.

So at the last stop of the road show, Liu Jing also shed tears on the scene. It is obvious that Liu Jing is indeed a little out of control.

He first expressed his surprise, and at the same time, he focused on thanking Lin Xing, because the police uncle at the scene just now also said that Lin Xing and Liu Jing caught several thieves when they were experiencing life together. For Liu Jing, although Lin Xing is younger than himself, his understanding of characters is better than his.

In short, Liu Jing thanked Lin Xing.

Not only Liu Jing, but even Feng Cheng also said at the scene that he is a socially anxious person. He often speaks directly. To put it nicely, this is low emotional intelligence, and to put it bluntly, it is a lack of mind.

Feng Cheng was often dug up by reporters when he was interviewed a few years ago, which means that he is not famous. Otherwise, he might have been directly exposed online now.

Because of this, Feng Cheng has learned to be smart in recent years. He never accepts interviews and tries not to participate in variety shows. He doesn't talk much in many drama roadshows.

Of course, many art film roadshows before basically didn't use him.

But this time is different. This time Feng Cheng has the same mentality as Liu Jing, that is, he finally made it.

Feng Cheng's biggest problem before was that he didn't have a high-grossing art film. Of course, art films are also difficult to have high box office.

The movies he acted in were not very popular. For this reason, he was only relatively good in the industry, but he got very little from the audience.

This time it was different.

This time Feng Cheng really got a lot of attention with Ding Lei in "Sunspots".

Even people watched some of Feng Cheng's previous works again, and they all felt that Feng Cheng should have been popular long ago with such good acting skills.

In fact, Feng Cheng is a few years younger than Ye Wen now, but Ye Wen is already Feng Cheng's predecessor in the circle.

But this time it was different.

Feng Cheng was even able to successfully enter the uncle circle with Ding Lei. Of course, the follow-up will continue to depend on Feng Cheng's performance, but at least this month's road show plus the box office of "Sunspots", Feng Cheng will get a lot of bonuses.

As for Luo Yuan, Liu Ning and others, let alone, in short, everyone got bonuses.

After the end of this last stop of the road show, everyone also took a group photo together and also made some publicity drafts.

After returning to the capital on the 20th, Lin Xing returned to the studio first.

"These are some recent scripts..."

Ding Chunling smiled bitterly at Lin Xing and said, "Because of the big hit of "Sunspots", almost all the scripts for movies are now literary films..."

"I said I won't accept scripts for the time being..."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "Forget about these scripts. I plan to disappear for a while."

Ding Chunling said, "You can disappear for a while, that's fine, but you have to participate in CCTV's "Artists Have an Appointment" next. Because of the good reviews of the mission drama "Mining Town", you have been invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, so you naturally have to participate in CCTV's interview..."

"Artists Have an Appointment" is CCTV's evergreen interview variety show. In recent years, as Zhao Fang said, interview variety shows have become more and more difficult to do. Even Minnie has started outdoor interviews, but CCTV doesn't care.

Since 2000, "Artists Have an Appointment" has been interviewing for almost 26 years, and the "artists" in "Artists Have an Appointment" are not just people from the entertainment industry.

Because this is CCTV, the "artist" in "Artist's Appointment" even refers to craftsmen, so people from all walks of life will come to participate.

And from the beginning, "Artist's Appointment" has been an interview type, where CCTV host Qi Bing chats with guests.

Since Qi Bing retired in 2015, the host of "Artists Meet" has been replaced by Zheng Hai, a new host of CCTV. Zheng Hai's hosting style is more relaxed and he doesn't do those tear-jerking things.

You should know that Zheng Hai hosted "Focus Interview" and "News Three Minutes" at the beginning. He can be positive or funny.

Now Zheng Hai has taken over "Artists Meet" for more than 10 years. This interview has always been standing firm. Basically, it only adheres to one purpose, that is: "Always consistent, you can change as you like, I will never change."

It can be said that "Artists Meet" is CCTV's trump card interview. Unlike other interviews, they don't invite some popular and trafficked people, and even invite some young and handsome guys.

"If there is no TV series "Mining Town", they will never invite you."

Finally, Ding Chunling said again: "And we really have no way to refuse."

Lin Xing said that he knew: "When will the recording be?"

"The end of the month."

Ding Chunling said: "So you have to stay in the capital at least until the end of the month."

"Okay."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "It just so happens that "Sunspots" should not be removed from the theaters for the time being. In a few days, they will have a celebration banquet to promote it again..."

For the movie "Sunspots", the box office of 2 billion is considered to have exceeded the task, and even exceeded the level.

But no one will dislike the low box office.

If the box office of "Sunspots" can go further, then Bohai Film and Television will certainly be happy.

For now, basically the celebration banquet is the last promotion.

According to Bohai Film and Television's idea, it would be great if "Sunspots" could finally break 2.1 billion.

The current situation is that you only need tens of millions, but these tens of millions often need to be polished for a long time. After all, sometimes you can't even reach 3 million a day.

Even 10 or 20 million a week.

There will be more and more new films in the future, and your "Sunspots" may not even get 8 million a week.

The market for art films is so big, and it has been released for 31 days, what else do you want? ? ?

So the celebration banquet must be held as soon as possible, so on July 25th, "Sunspots" held a celebration banquet in Beijing.

At the celebration banquet, Ning Ping first gave a speech, basically thanking this and that.

In addition to Ning Ping, actors such as Lin Xing, Liu Jing, Luo Yuan, Feng Cheng, and Liu Ning also gave speeches.

Everyone is eating, drinking, and celebrating today.

At the same time, the publicity and promotion will capture some scenes, and then extract some text from them to promote "Sunspots".

In this way, the celebration banquet on July 25th successfully rushed to the hot search, and Lin Xing's small interview also rushed to the hot search.

This is an exclusive interview with "Huaxia Film News".

You should know that Lin Xing is now considered a male god in art films. The two films "Killing Ading" and "Sunspots" have made Lin Xing firmly sit on the position of male god in art films.

"I don't deserve this title. It was really a coincidence that I made art films. I just took the role when I saw the script was suitable."

"I feel that I am still far from being able to make art films. I always think that Director Huang Ning is right. The market for art films is still huge."

"Why do you want to resist commercial films? I am an actor. Don't actors want to try everything??"

"I don't have any plans for the future. I want to take a break. To be honest, I feel that I have no life after this period of continuous work. When an actor has no life, he naturally has no content."

"I really think it is normal that I can't win the Magnolia Award for Best Actor. As for the other three gold awards, I naturally want to win them, but I still think it depends on fate. I am still young and there will always be opportunities."

"I won't respond to the Hundred Flowers Award. I haven't even been nominated. What I say here seems to be jealous of myself?"

...

For the interview with "Huaxia Film News", Lin Xing's words are quite pertinent.

Lin Xing said quite pertinently about the TV drama spy war hero, the movie art film male god, the missed Magnolia Award, the Hundred Flowers Award nomination, etc.

Success is success, failure is failure.

It's just an award, do you think it's important? It's important, but if you say it's not important, it's not important either.

Lin Xing still walks his own way steadily.

Regarding the choice of Lin Xing's next film, and even the choice between film and TV series, etc., Lin Xing said very pertinently: "Look at the script."

If the script is good, take it.

As for pressure? ? ?

Lin Xing really doesn't have it.

"I didn't expect that the ratings of my next TV series would break 4, and I didn't expect that my next movie would be a failure if the box office was less than 2 billion."

"How is it possible? If the success or failure of movies and TV series is judged by data, then if you look back decades ago, those TV series that were called classics were relatively poor at the time, and were even considered the worst by the audience."

...

This interview was actually also to promote "Sunspots".

While the popularity is still there, the China Film News naturally wants to take advantage of it.

And to be honest, the China Film News has indeed taken advantage of it.

"You know what, Lin Xing is really awesome. This TV series and movie are really a double success."

"That's right, let's talk about it. I really admire Lin Xing. The key is that he makes the right choice every time."

"This is really unexplainable. Damn it, why did so many people say that Lin Xing had a cheat before???"

…

These comments are all those who admire Lin Xing or think Lin Xing is awesome.

This report from "China Film News" has indeed made Lin Xing a hot search topic once again.

Although this popularity has arisen, the impact on the box office of "Sunspot" on that day is almost negligible.

If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.

Again, the market for literary and artistic films has reached this point, and the market has been completely eaten up. At this time, the impact of new films will naturally disappear.

At the end of July, Lin Xing participated in an interview on "A Date with an Artist" again.

Because "Sunspot" was released in theaters the day before, it ended up just shy of 2.1 billion. It's a bit regretful, but not much.

After all, this was within everyone's expectations, not to mention that your box office has exceeded 3 billion, so why are you dissatisfied? ?

When Lin Xing was recording "The Artist's Appointment", he had already done some homework on this variety show.

To put it bluntly, this variety show is completely different from other variety shows.

Because the values ​​​​on "A Date with an Artist" are great, this is a show that wants to savor life and at the same time give people some positive energy.

Since it is positive energy, it naturally needs to be sensational.

Besides, CCTV always likes to sensationalize.

In many cases, "The Artist's Appointment" will investigate an artist from childhood to adulthood, and even investigate social relationships, in order to make the artist put down his armor, or put his defenses aside.

According to what some people in the industry have said, this "Artist's Appointment" can actually be called "Artist's Undefended". It basically means chatting with everyone about everything, but it will definitely not ruin the three views.

You are like an artist who is being kept. You are like some people in the entertainment industry who obviously became a mistress but ended up being praised as a good wife. There are also some people who were just a little girl but were told how kind they are and so on.

None of these can be done.

"Teacher Lin, our show does not have a script. These are some of our processes..."

A staff member had already come to pick up Lin Xing and entered the backstage. He started to say to Lin Xing, "If you have any requests, you can make them."

"I didn't ask for it."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "Just record it how you say. I will listen to you."
