New Age Artists

Chapter 145: The Road to the Top! All Exploded!! (33)

Shen Santong cursed in his heart, can’t a big ship pass?
I want a super big boat!

Very super!

It's just a thought, I'm not sure it can be exceeded.

Nowadays, most movies only sell for a week or so.

It’s considered good if it sells from the first weekend to the second weekend and lasts for ten days.

Shen Santong's "Supermarket" was better than many films and still had box office sales in the third weekend, but it was also showing signs of decline.

After the third weekend, the movie box office dropped sharply, hovering around two million.

According to the market performance, the box office of "Happy Birthday" this weekend may not reach 20 million.

After this week, the daily box office may drop to five or six million.

The daily box office is five to six million, which is much better than current movies, but there is no hope of breaking the big ship.

So this Friday, and the third weekend tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are very important!
If it can break 20 million, it is possible to continue to the fourth week.

Otherwise, there is no hope of oversizing the ship.

Shen Santong's heart was in a thousand twists and turns. He was unusually polite and said helplessly, "I have no choice. If I don't set a big ship as my target, I will have no reference point."

Indeed, everyone chuckled.

Shen Santong straightened his face and said, "If anyone gave me the courage, it might be the support of the audience. I am just an ordinary local director, and it is the support of the audience that has enabled me to achieve what I have today."

"If you think about it, it's not that hard to surpass the box office of Titanic."

As soon as these words were spoken, the reporter's face became very interesting.

Not only the reporters, but also Li Bingbing and Han Sanping who were attending the press conference were hesitant to speak and didn't know what to say.

Isn't it difficult to overtake a large ship?

From 98 to now, it has been more than seven years.

Zhang Yimou was full of confidence when he brought "Hero", but in the end he found out that it didn't work.

Last year's "House of Flying Daggers" did not mention this.

Who is the peak at the end of the movie? When you see the big ship, it becomes empty!

The box office of 98 million in 3.6!

There is no Internet ticket counting system, so I don’t know how much the box office revenue was. This is a big ship!
Not only China, but it is a big ship that has opened the doors of countless countries.

It is more powerful than the US aircraft carrier.

Shen Santong continued as if no one was around, "Think about it, the box office is 3.6 million, and a movie ticket costs about yuan. Twelve million people will watch the movie, that's enough."

"Last year, Shanghai had 18 million people, Beijing had nearly 16 million, Chongqing had 12 million, Wuhan had 10 million, Tianjin had 9.5 million, and Shenzhen had more than 8 million. We have more than 500 million urban residents. In first-, second-, and third-tier cities, if one of dozens of people has a birthday, the number is far more than 12 million."

"We have thousands of theaters, more than 2,000 screens, and now have 800 copies. The hardware is enough to produce movies that surpass the big ships."

"We have been in reform and opening up for nearly 30 years. People have more money in their pockets and are eager for spiritual and cultural needs. It just so happens that "Happy Birthday" is a comedy movie that promotes love and has a wide audience. The software also meets the conditions."

Regardless of whether the reporter believed it or not, Shen Santong spoke with great conviction.

After listening to Shen Santong's analysis, the reporter also felt that it was not that difficult!
It's just theory, no one can do it in reality.

Another reporter asked a question that the public is concerned about: "When will the song at the end of the film, So Life Is Bitter Like a Song, be uploaded?"

Shen Santong said: "You should be talking about the high-quality version. I see that the pirated version has been uploaded to MP3. Our company has sent a lawyer's letter to Baidu. It's too abominable to condone piracy!"

The gun version of "What Can I Use to Keep You" with high quality sound has been circulated for a long time, but the high quality sound has not been released yet, but it will be soon.

Believe in the power of piracy.

"The song is not titled "Life is Bitter Like a Song", but "What Can I Do to Keep You", which is the secret weapon of our movie and a gift to legitimate audiences. It will be officially released when the movie is off the screen, and it will also be free. Please support the movie."

Shen Santong asked for policy support: "Now that Life is about to be released for two weeks, piracy has begun to spread. We ask the relevant departments to crack down on piracy!"

When people heard about the gift, they all laughed. Your gift is to make people cry.

Whether you like Shen Santong or hate him, you have to admit that he is indeed talented.

"Ordinary Road" and "What Can I Use to Keep You" are both songs of very high quality.

The reporter continued to ask: "There are rumors in the industry that Wang Jinghua left Huayi and switched to Chengtian. Some sources said that you failed to pursue Wang Jinghua?"

Shen Santong: "I am just an ordinary post-80s director, and I am devoted to movies. I want to make domestic films and be a good local director. My journalist friends should not only ask me questions, but also ask others questions."

A group of reporters rolled their eyes and said, "Okay, okay, we know you were born in the 80s and are the pride of domestic directors. We get it."

Subsequently.

Li Bingbing was also asked this question, after all, she is one of the two ice stars of Huayi.

Wang Jinghua's departure has a great impact on the industry: "I am just an actor. I am honored to be in Director Shen's play and to receive support from the audience."

"From the box office feedback, we the audience are not averse to and even prefer the actors we have watched since childhood."

"As an artist under Huayi, I focus more on my career as an actor and acting well. I believe that if I work hard to be a good actor, I will get the support of the audience."

Li Bingbing's words were even more watertight.
Several reporters asked this question in succession, but no one answered it.

In fact, what the reporter wants to ask is: It is rumored that Shen Santong snatched you, Li Bingbing, away from Huayi Xiaowang. Is it true?

You can't ask it face to face, otherwise he will get angry.

A reporter asked Han Sanping: "Mr. Han, what do you think of the success of "Happy Birthday"? Does it prove the development of our domestic films?"

Han Sanping thought to himself, you finally know I exist.

Everyone is staring at Shen Santong and Li Bingbing. Isn’t I, Master Han San, a celebrity?
Han Sanping said: "Shen Santong is a native Chinese, born under the red flag, and received our local education. He himself is only a senior student at Beijing Film Academy when school starts."

"Shen Santong's success shows the success of our education, the success of our film marketization reform, and that our local filmmakers are fully capable of making films that meet the needs of the audience!"

Finally, Han Sanping revealed a piece of news: "We have received a notice from our superiors that multiple departments should cooperate to crack down on piracy and escort the progress of "Happy Birthday"."

The celebration party will be held soon.

June 8, afternoon.

The Ministry of Culture, together with several other ministries, jointly issued the "Notice on Cracking Down on Pirated Movies "Happy Birthday" and Other Illegal Audiovisual Products". After research and analysis, the higher authorities found that Happy Birthday may surpass the big ship.

“Happy Birthday” hits the right tone, with bright colors, a modern school setting, and an interesting storyline.

What's more, it praises the love between father and daughter, and mother and daughter. There is no bullshit plot about killing the husband and mother, or deconstructing traditional emotions.

If the life speed can surpass the big ship, it will prove the correctness of the development direction of China's cultural undertakings.

It is of great significance and the support is strong.

There was an anti-piracy operation that night.

The whole country worked together to destroy multiple dens and close down many video halls in one fell swoop.

Shen Santong is busy on the roadshow.

8 month 13 day.

It's two o'clock in the morning and it's already Saturday.

Shen Santong succeeded in marrying Tang Yan.

Li Bingbing can’t hold on any longer, and Tangtang is a little unhappy. I’ll support Tangtang tonight.

The box office came out on Friday, 1457 million.

Shen Santong was shocked. The total box office reached 260 million.

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the key. If it is ten million, then there will be no hope.

If it exceeds 20 million, it may surpass the big ships.

8 month 13 day.

Shen Santong went to the cinema in Shanghai for a day and felt that there were still a lot of people.

It seems that as the box office of Shengkuai grows, many viewers feel a sense of participation and accomplishment.

night.

After taking a shower, Shen Santong went to sleep alone.

After two weeks of roadshows, many people are no longer physically able to sustain the event.

Even if Shen Santong could hold on physically, he was mentally exhausted.

Just have a good sleep.

What can be done has been done.

It is normal that it cannot surpass the big ship.

Early morning on Sunday, August 8th.

"Saturday's box office was 2433 million. It's over million! The total box office has reached million!! We have a great chance of surpassing the big ship! Setting a record for Chinese film and television!"

Shen Santong announced this exciting news during breakfast.

"what!!!"

Ma Yili pounced on him, hung on him like a koala, and shook and grinded him repeatedly.

During the promotion in Shanghai, she, Tang Yan, and Xu Zheng were the protagonists.

Bitch!

Tang Yan checked the bitch radar and the alarm went off.

I am speechless. Why are you seniors so proactive?

Have some self-respect!
Shen Santong was completely immersed in excitement and didn't think it was wrong to put the excited Ma Yili down.

I have to say that physical contact is actually very common in the entertainment industry, and you’ll get used to it slowly.

Early morning of the 15th.

All the creators of Happy Birthday are waiting for the news.

Two weeks into the movie’s release, the ones who remain are the main characters or those who are close friends.

Tao Hong accompanied Xu Guangtou as a guest.

"2072 million on Sunday, breaking million, and the total box office has reached million!!"

Over 300 million!!!

"what!!"

Li Bingbing was so excited that he became speechless.

Ma Yili took the opportunity to take advantage of Shen Santong.

Zhang Jingchu jumped onto Shen Santong's back from behind.

Tang Yan wants to stab these two shameless bitches!

Spread the results quickly.

The relevant departments were shocked!

The circle was shocked!!
The outside world is shocked!!!

Everyone exploded!!!!
Thanks to the reward from Mo Chuangxian in the book, as well as the rewards from book friends such as Dai Xiyuan, Fei Luoye, and Shuyou 2013 Tail Number 0304.

Do you think it is acceptable for the box office to exceed that of The Big Ship? If not, I can change it.

My design will exceed, but not by much.

The book said that the hardware was actually sufficient. Our level of development was indeed not high at the time, but there were many people and the market was large, so it was not difficult to attract more than 10 million viewers. It was just that the quality of the film was indeed not up to standard.

Birth of a Life is a comedy, and it has a very strong emotional empathy at the end. Coupled with the marketing of domestic products, it can get a lot of support.

Listen to everyone’s opinions.
