Perfect Life

Obviously neither Jin Han nor He Yingyu would have time to have this meal with Hu Fei.

Next, the domestic publicity tour of the main creative team of "Dragon Inn", its schedule is so dense that it makes people's scalp tingle at a glance - Rao Shi He Yingyu has experienced such battles more than once, and facing this arrangement is incomparable The tight advocacy schedule remains the same.

And just tonight, they're leaving.

But the good thing is that the scale of the promotion of "Dragon Inn" this time, its activity area, is still much smaller than the promotion of "The Matrix"—

The theme of "Dragon Inn" has been decided. It is a martial arts movie that is biased towards traditional Chinese aesthetics. It is of course different from "The Matrix", and even "Once Upon a Time", which strives to highlight personal heroism. Never the same. Therefore, its main market is undoubtedly the domestic market.

Up to now, this type of traditional Chinese martial arts movies have gone overseas, mainly covering the pan-Chinese cultural circles such as Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. If you go a little further, there will be almost no market.

Even in Japan and South Korea, the market in the past was not that big.

Guo Yulong is the king and martial arts superstar in China. Almost every one of his films has a good box office, but once he leaves the country, even in Japan and South Korea, his audience is limited, but in Southeast Asia, because the Chinese occupy the local area. Quite a high proportion of the population, so his martial arts films are still very marketable.

Du Weiyun didn't get any awards or recognition at European film festivals. Later, he stopped participating in a rage, but his films were quite good in Japan and South Korea. Before "Sassy Girlfriend" swept the Japanese and Korean market, he was the best domestic director selling in Japan and South Korea.

Therefore, although "Once Upon a Time" has achieved quite good box office results in Europe, and "The Matrix" has killed the Quartet, but after watching "Dragon Inn", he is responsible for the distribution of films produced by Minghu Culture in Europe. The Oriental Dream Film Company, John Days to be exact, believes that it should hold off on shipping the film to Europe and Latin America.

He said very clearly that the pictures, performances, shots, etc. of "Dragon Inn", its exquisiteness and exquisiteness, and the shock it brings are definitely a good movie, but he felt that it was rashly introduced to Europe to do it. Publishing, local publishers in Europe will be reluctant to buy it, let alone North America!

So he felt that it might be better to start the market in China, East Asia, and Southeast Asia first. When the movie is released, if the box office is good, the word of mouth will also be very good. At that time, we can use this outlet to do European distribution. , it will be relatively easier to succeed.

Li Qian was absolutely necessary, but Jin Han was not very happy.

He even thought about going to Cannes with "Dragon Inn" before, but before the deadline for registration at the Cannes Film Festival, he could not complete the editing and post-production of the film at all, so he had no choice but to give up. In his opinion, this "Dragon Inn" is qualified to go to the three major European film festivals in every aspect, and therefore, it should be a good choice for the audiences who love to watch art films in Europe. quite attractive.

Therefore, he is a little unhappy that John Days is not optimistic about the European market of his work.

In particular, he felt that he had told the story of "Dragon Inn" very vividly and with a precise rhythm, but John Days said that this play is different from "Once Upon a Time". The story, including the background of the story, will appear a bit convoluted to Europeans, and Europeans may not understand it well-this is also an important reason why he is not very optimistic about the release of this film in Europe.

Of course, Jin Han felt extremely uncomfortable.

How could it not be understood? My story is so well told! Li Qian said yes!

However, there is no way, John Days thinks so, and also promises that once the film is launched in China and Southeast Asia and other regions, and the market feedback and word-of-mouth feedback are both good, he will immediately start operation and distribution in Europe, and he can only Temporarily accept this situation, and first do the propaganda in China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia.

Fortunately, this wave of publicity is not difficult to do.

Too much publicity.

He Yingyu is the focus wherever she goes now. The topic and attention she brings by herself is high enough. The second cooperation between Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, the "Best Couple on the Screen", is another point, the most famous in China. The Peking Opera Tsing Yi, and Cheng Suping, who is known as "a clear stream of actors", is also a major attraction in this film.

In the pre-screening promotion a few days ago, as soon as her poster was released, it quickly became a hot topic on the Internet and nationwide. Everyone said that Song Hye Kyo in "Full House" was wearing men's clothing. , actually can be so heroic, but also beautiful and sharp.

So, being tired is definitely going to be tiring, but not difficult.

Moreover, to a certain extent, this is the first time that Jin Han has officially participated in the promotion of a movie in more than ten years of filming, so he is even a little excited—his past movies are so popular Low, there is really no need to run around for publicity.

The flight ticket in the evening will fly directly to Songjiang Prefecture. From here, "Dragon Gate Inn" will officially start its own domestic promotion tour.

However, what Jin Han didn't expect was that the fans were really so enthusiastic—

After the filming was finished, he cut the film himself, and looking back, he felt that he did a really good job. Later, when Li Qian reviewed the film, he made suggestions for revisions, additions and deletions, and also said, "You did a great job". All of these made Jin Han, who was directing a commercial film for the first time and had never had a big sales record before, feel more confident.

But it's useless. After the show, will the audience feel good-looking? What would the critics say? Will I be criticized for splitting my face with this film?

What would the netizens say on the Internet? Their evaluations are becoming more and more important now. Not only do many moviegoers focus on referring to some online movie reviews before going to the cinema to buy tickets, but even major theater organizations attach great importance to these movie reviews when arranging films.

Finally... what will happen to the box office?

He was very unsure.

However, on the morning of the next day, when they appeared at a large movie theater in Songjiang Prefecture and were about to participate in an interactive activity with movie fans, they were warmly welcomed by nearly a hundred movie fans as soon as they arrived!

Although everyone is shouting "Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, I love you!", or "Su bottle you are the most beautiful!", it can clearly let people know that they are all die-hard movie fans brought by a group of star actors, but Jin Han still has a feeling of being flattered!

But after only two or three days, he was less excited.

Because it quickly becomes numb.

After the premiere of Shuntianfu on August 24, "Dragon Inn" began to join the midnight screening after 12 o'clock that night, and from August 25, it officially landed on the national theater chain.

And at the same time, the film's word-of-mouth on the most responsive internet quickly began to explode.

Because it is really beautiful and beautiful.

The story is smooth and ups and downs, the picture is exquisite and delicate without lack of grandeur, the camera is exquisite, and the character interpretation is delicate and vigorous-especially the two heroines, after the movie was released, it quickly fascinated thousands of fans.

The coquettish beauty of the proprietress Jin Xiangyu, played by He Yingyu, and the neutral and heroic spirit of Qiu Moyan, played by Cheng Suping, have quickly become the focus of heated discussions among all the people.

Plus... how should I put it, if Tsui Hark's version of "New Dragon Inn", with proper attention to the movie's aesthetics, its main attribute is a commercial martial arts movie, then it's the Jinhan version. The "Dragon Inn", he almost polished every shot of the movie as a work of art!

To say that it is a commercial film, it must be a commercial film, because its core is still a story.

But it is an art film...except that the story and the theme of the story appear less "literary", less "profound" and "connotative", and "worthy of people's reflection", it is indeed qualified to be called an art film. A very good literary film!

Speaking of which, the two directors are in different eras, have different educational backgrounds, different levels of professional literacy, and even have differences in creative themes and directions, as well as filming costs and framing scope, etc. Under the combined action of countless factors, such a difference is made.

Therefore, such a martial arts blockbuster, which is well-made, gorgeous in acting, beautiful in camera and so particular in story, and even in fighting scenes, has been unanimously sought after by fans all over the country as soon as it was released. It was in Songjiang Prefecture, and a hundred and ten people welcomed and shouted. When I went to the TV station to record the show that night, there were already nearly two hundred fans waiting at the TV station door, shouting for support! On the second day, they went to Yingtianfu to participate in the event, and they even received support from three or four hundred fans on the scene with banners.

Later, when they went to Hangzhou Prefecture, they even caused a big traffic jam for a time.

Local fans even put up banners that read "Hello Madam!"

Seeing this banner, Jin Han burst into laughter - this fully shows that He Yingyu's movie fans have become "Dragon Inn" fans!

Of course, He Yingyu seemed a little happier than him.

When participating in the recording of ZJ Satellite TV's program, when the host directly called He Yingyu "Hello, Madam Boss", she even smiled and looked very useful.

And on that day, on August 28, the fourth day of its release, "Dragon Inn" broke the domestic box office of 100 million!

Its speed of breaking 100 million is second only to "The Matrix"!

It surpassed a series of blockbuster movies in the past few years, such as "Once Upon a Time", "The Gate of Life and Death", "Once Upon a Time of Man", "The Big Shot", and "Red Sorghum".

And the key point is that at this time, more than 90% of the media and film critics across the country, as well as various non-professional film critics on the Internet, have greatly praised this film!

Many film critics and fans believe that He Yingyu "did the most wonderful performance and the most wonderful role since her debut"!

Some people also said, "In terms of the classic level of the role, the role of the proprietress Jin Xiangyu is not inferior to the forever savage girlfriend in countless people's hearts, but in terms of acting skills, the proprietress has to throw away the distance of a few streets away from the savage girlfriend! As for He Yingyu's performance in "The Gate of Life and Death" and "The Matrix", let alone mention it!"

"Compared to showing off her looks and figure in "The Matrix", and even the fresh and lovely national goddess actually turned into a hit girl, I prefer to call a coquettish and glamorous character like the proprietress Jin Xiangyu as He Yingyu A real breakthrough! In my opinion, with this role, she has gone from star to actress."

In addition, about the story, about the camera, about the picture, about every character in the movie, everyone is keen to comment and discuss, and they are often praised.

The box office is a big hit, and the reputation is very good. UU reading www. uukanshu. com

In a few days, Jin Han, who has been in the industry for more than ten years, realized for the first time what it means to be really proud of the spring breeze. He originally thought that the award at Cannes would make him famous.

But at this time, he suddenly realized that if it was the Palme d'Or or something, it might be okay, but the influence bonus brought to him by just winning a Cannes actress is different from that of a big-selling movie like this. In comparison, the difference is simply not enough!

What's more, the box office and word of mouth fly together!

So, this feeling of walking past one stop after another, each stop being more valued than the previous one, this feeling of being flattered in front of many people, made Jin Han doubly benefited. .

In fact, the box office of "Dragon Inn" is indeed strong enough. In the first week of its release, this film directly smashed the box office of more than 190 million in domestic theaters, and almost broke 200 million. !

This level of box office has directly stepped on a number of domestic and foreign films that are being released, and "The Matrix" and "Flying Sky" are of course no exception!

"The Matrix" is okay, it has been released for more than a month. Even if "Dragon Inn" does not appear, it is already at the end of the battle, but "Flying" should be quite strong in theory, but was kicked by "Dragon Inn" This week's box office is less than 60 million.

Liu Chengzhang is estimated to be quite depressed.

Originally, "Flying Sky" should have the ability to make good money for another two weeks.

Of course, Li Qian no longer pays attention to these things. He didn't even wait for the first week of the movie to come out at the box office. As soon as the premiere here ended, he had someone book a ticket.

Without taking anyone else, he and Xie Bing quietly got on the plane from Shuntianfu to Paris, planning to accompany Xie Bing on a vacation, and by the way, to inspect the winery that Xie Bing just bought .
