Perfect Life

Monday, July 21.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the world premiere of "Golden Terrace" was officially held at the leading cinema of the Oriental Cinema Line in Shuntianfu. The scale of this time, the number of guests and the number of guests present, were no different than those of "Yellow" a few days ago. Feihongzhi's Man Becoming Self-improvement is poor, even stronger!

After all, Qin Wei's decades-old golden signboard was not built.

Hu Fei and his Huafei Film and Television have been operating in China for nearly 20 years, and they are definitely intertwined and deeply rooted.

And more importantly, this time they are going all out!

Natural guests are like clouds.

At half past three, the movie starts showing.

And unlike "Once Upon a Time in Man", the ceremony was held on the first day, and it was officially screened nationwide on the second day. Here, the premiere of "Golden Terrace" has begun. After 3:30, the theaters across the country will also be at the same time. There are many screenings started.

Therefore, looking at the whole country, in fact, countless people were the first to see this latest blockbuster of Qin Wei at the same time.

The duration of "Once Upon a Time" is 102 minutes, which is quite satisfactory, neither long nor short, but the release version of "Golden Terrace" is as long as 127 minutes.

It is said that during the internal preview meeting, many representatives of the theater chain suggested that the length of the film is too long, and many places are not so necessary. Once the film is long, the tickets will be sold a little more expensively, and the rhythm will be a little bit more. Procrastination, too many invalid shots. Therefore, everyone suggested that the producer could cut it a little bit shorter.

In terms of time, even if the movie is ten minutes short, with the clever arrangement of the theater line, each theater can arrange one more show during the one-day screening cycle. Moreover, in fact, the shorter the length of the movie, the more convenient it is for theaters to flexibly use their own theater resources when arranging films.

However, Qin Wei refused, he thought this 127-minute version was the most perfect.

In front of a big director like Qin Wei, whose last movie sold 700 million at the box office, the theater chain party, who has always been extremely powerful, still protested to no avail. In the end, he could only hold his nose. Qin Wei said what he said.

So, the final released version is 127 minutes.

A blockbuster of more than two hours, from the perspective of time alone, this time Qin Wei is definitely going to the level of a masterpiece and an epic.

When the movie was over, like every premiere, there was warm applause.

Then, since it’s a ceremony, then at least a few shows will be performed, and then there will be a wave of interviews—to put it bluntly, the premiere is a thing to attract attention, to gain headlines in newspapers and online news, and to make as much as possible publicity will appear.

And this time, in order to create a bigger momentum during the hot screening of "Once Upon a Time", Hu Fei poured money into it, and the scene became the largest ever in the film circle.

After the show was over, it was time for interviews and discussions. Several of the main creators of the crew took the stage.

Qin Wei naturally sat in the first chair, and next to him was Fu Hongxue, who had cooperated with Qin Wei for the second time and was also the number one popular actress in China in the past two years.

If Fu Hongxue goes there, he will be the hero of this movie, a veteran martial arts actor who has been on the rise in the past two years, border guard.

Interviews, compliments each other, jokes about filming, and bragging about the movie.

that is it.

When such propaganda articles are finished, it is time for reporters and film critics to ask questions.

On such occasions, Hu Fei carefully arranged the premiere, as you can imagine, all the questions from reporters were pre-arranged. Greetings and mutual understanding will only be allowed to enter.

Therefore, inappropriate questions will not be asked.

Of course, someone in the middle asked a question that made Qin Wei hesitate for a while. The reporter asked, "Director Qin, why did you choose to release the film at this time? Everyone knows that "Once Upon a Time" When "Self-Strengthening" was just released, it was less than a week ago. The choice of "Golden TV" to be released at this time will inevitably cause a very bad competition, and the final result will be that both parties will suffer losses. And I think, for the health of the entire Chinese film market Considering the orderly development, such competition should not be promoted. Therefore, there are many sayings in the outside world that you are going to "The Man of Once Upon a Time to Be Self-improvement", and you want to step on that movie. Come down, may I ask, is that what you think in your heart?"

As soon as this question came out, although it was something that everyone knew well, as you can imagine, the scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the reporter who asked the question in surprise, and then looked back and stared at Qin Wei.

Qin Wei seemed to be thinking about it for a while before answering: "I have never had the idea of ​​stepping on anyone. Because I think that any mature film market must have experienced sufficient market competition before it can be completed. It will appear. I look forward to the early maturity of the Chinese film market. In addition, regarding your question, it is like this. July is the golden period, the summer period. It is recognized that the film market is the most popular at this time, so, According to your logic, as long as I choose "Golden Terrace" to be released at this time, then if I don't step on this, I will definitely step on that! Does that mean that because my movie may have a high box office, I will If other films are suppressed, I must not be able to show it at this time?"

Speaking of which, he spread his hands with a confident smile on his face, "Why? Others can show it in July, but you can't even if you replace Qin Wei! Is there a reason for this?"

After a pause, he added: "Furthermore, in my opinion, the films that dare to be released in the summer season include every film, domestic and foreign, since you choose to release at this time, then It means that you are already mentally prepared to face the market impact of the best and most competitive batch of movies this year! If you are not mentally prepared, you will shout, oops, so-and-so when a movie comes. A certain target of me, he deliberately came to trample me! He trampled me last year, and he will trample me this year!"

"I think people like this, you should just quit the summer vacation!"

The voice fell, and applause slowly broke out at the premiere ceremony, and the applause grew louder and louder, and finally became a tidal wave!

I have to admit that Qin Wei's response was indeed majestic.

Shows his super-confidence in his work.

The reporter seemed to want to continue to ask something else, but the host had already pointed to another reporter decisively, and he sat down helplessly - in the eyes of everyone, there is no doubt that Qin Wei's words, Righteous and cavalier denial of the reporter's responsibilities.

Moreover, he also kicked the "Once Upon a Time Man as Self-improvement".

At the end of the interview, another reporter stood up and asked, "Director Qin, I remember when I gave you an exclusive interview before, we talked about a question, you said at the time that you made every film with ambition. Go. So now that your new movie "Golden Terrace" is out, can you tell me what your ambitions are about this movie? Uh...I mean, if it's convenient to reveal it now!"

This is obviously a familiar reporter, Qin Wei smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Ambition! Haha, well, I can say it. It's like this, I think that after decades of exploration in Chinese movies, we have no idea about the movie. In itself, the art and technology of film have their own exploration and accumulation, but film, in the final analysis, is not a plaything for a few people, nor is it the exclusive art of individual artists. It is recognized all over the world that film is a It is a cultural and entertainment product for the general public. Therefore, starting from "Life and Death" last year, I tried to explore a commercial film road that meets the characteristics of our Chinese market. "

"That is to say, in my opinion, after a movie is made, it is still for people to see, to make everyone feel good-looking, understandable, and willing to spend money to go to the cinema and sit for two hours to appreciate what you have done. The kind of story he presented, this is success! I don’t hope that in a few years, we Chinese filmmakers are still shooting those so-called works of art that are of high artistic standard, but the common people are unwilling to consume them. I am also very afraid that if things continue to develop like that, when our domestic people go to the cinema, they will give priority to watching some foreign commercial blockbusters, while turning a blind eye to our local movies. If that is the case, our Chinese culture, A huge position will be lost! If so, I think, it will be the tragedy of our generation of filmmakers and the incompetence of our generation of filmmakers!"

"So, I want to make a commercial blockbuster, and I also want to get a high box office! I hope to make domestic audiences form such an idea: domestic commercial blockbusters are also very good-looking, even better than Hollywood blockbusters. Even better! Even, as long as our films are well made, we can go to the world, on the world stage, to compete with Hollywood films, and to spread our Chinese culture outwards!"

"I'm working hard and working hard. If I don't succeed, my level is limited. I hope that later filmmakers can abandon my shortcomings and deficiencies and continue to work hard. If I'm lucky enough to have such a little achievement , I will not stop, I will continue to move forward!"

"thanks!"

After these remarks, the audience was quiet for a moment, and then there was thunderous applause.

The so-called master, the so-called film master, Qin Wei's status in today's domestic film and art circles is still unparalleled, and his remarks are obviously awe-inspiring!

It will make everyone feel that, sure enough, this is the demeanor of a master!

Yes, even though he has already gone to make commercial films, as long as you hear his explanation and his heartfelt voice, you will feel that Qin Wei's going to make commercial films is not out of place at all!

It's that bullshit!

At the end of the interview, a reporter asked Qin Wei to estimate the box office, and give an expectation for the box office performance of "Golden Terrace".

Faced with this topic, Qin Wei was not ambiguous. After thinking about it, he confidently said: "I want to say, I hope to reach 100 million in the first week, no one should think that I am talking big?"

There was a low laugh from the audience.

Everyone knows that Qin Wei is being modest. Last year's "The Gate of Life and Death" had a box office of more than 200 million in the first week. How could the "Golden Terrace", which is now being crushed with great momentum, could not even pass 100 million in the first week?

Speaking of which, Qin Wei seemed to feel that it was too hypocritical and hypocritical to give an expectation of 100 million for the first week when he heard the laughter from the audience.

So, after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Then I look forward to it, and hope that the box office of our "Golden Terrace" in the first week of its release can exceed 150 million!"

There was applause from the audience.

But the reporter who asked the question persevered and asked, "Director Qin, what are your expectations for the total box office of this movie?"

Qin Wei thought about it and replied, "I think 300 million should be able to do it, but last year, "The Gate of Life and Death" got 700 million after all. Now I want to say that my expectation is 300 million. You may I feel that I am hypocritical, so... to put it further, it is indeed my inner expectation, I hope that the final box office of this "Golden Terrace", um, can reach and exceed 500 million!"

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and showed his right hand.

Five fingers, five hundred million.

There was thunderous applause from the audience again.

With an expectation of 500 million yuan, against the background of the 700 million yuan box office of "The Gate of Life and Death" last year, everyone will subconsciously feel that Qin Wei's so-called expectation is a bit conservative, but it is public information after all. It's normal to be conservative and humble.

However, he dared to shout 500 million to the outside world, which shows that Qin Wei has a strong confidence in his work-basically, according to common sense, if he dares to say this, he has confidence and certainty, and this drama is the lowest It can also reach 500 million!

…………

That night, Qin Wei's outstretched palm and five fingers, together with his 500 million box office forecast, made headlines in many evening newspapers and major online news platforms.

At the same time, Qin Wei's answer to reporters at the premiere ceremony was that he, as the first person in the domestic film industry today, said that "it is necessary to make good commercial films for the common people to watch", which almost won One-sided praise - After the criticism of "The Gate of Life and Death" in the past year, many newspapers have once again turned to praise Qin Wei at this time, and he is indeed a master.

Of course, if the premiere of "Golden Station" is a piece of news, this is certainly not the most important point.

The most important thing, in addition to Qin Wei's 500 million box office expectation, is obviously the big collision between "Golden Terrace" and "Once Upon a Time as a Man of Huang Feihong".

Not only was Qin Wei's answer to reporters' questions at the premiere ceremony being repeated word for word by many newspapers, but major newspapers also gave various analyses of the confrontation between the two sides.

Both sides have pros and cons.

The box office of "Once Upon a Time" has already exploded in the first week, and it was quite normal in the second week, and Qin Wei's "Golden Terrace" was released in the first week and killed the Quartet, and it is almost unnecessary to predict , which is clearly known to all, as sure as it has happened.

The script of "Once Upon a Time" is written by Li Qian, and the first "Once Upon a Time" is also Li Qian's work, and Li Qian has been in the film and television industry for a few years and has already gained the reputation of a screenwriter. Coupled with the wonderful martial arts and ghosts he published under the pseudonym Jin Yong, basically no one would doubt Li Qian's ability to make up and tell stories.

And now, Qin Wei himself admitted at the premiere that the outline of the "Golden Terrace" was originally his own, and he was also involved in the whole process of writing and revising the script - in fact, the screenwriter when the final film was released There are three screenwriters in total, and Qin Wei is indeed the first one.

Therefore, although "Once Upon a Time" is not Li Qian's director, this showdown will lose a lot of gimmicks, but Qin Wei's first play as an original screenwriter happened to form a screenwriter-level showdown with Li Qian!

In addition, "Once Upon a Time" is the sequel to the hit movie, and "Golden Terrace" is a huge investment.

In addition to director Li Qian, the other main creators of "Once Upon a Time" have all returned. Zhou Baoshan and Lu Lingxi are the hottest big screen combination in China at the moment. Even the fat man Pork Rong is very popular. , but on the "Golden Terrace" side, not to mention Qin Wei alone, just this name is enough to crush a "Huang Feihong's Man Be Self-improvement" that lost Li Qian, Fu Hongxue is so faintly the first in China today. Once a popular star, and the partner of a powerful star like the frontier defense, it is enough to attract people's expectations.

So, on the whole, it seems half a catty?

However, in the newspapers that night and the next day, and even on the Internet, many experts have given box-office expectations - "Golden Terrace" is 600 to 800 million, "Once Upon a Time" is 5 to 7 million 100 million.

Everyone has predicted that this week, even if the box office of "Golden Terrace" does not exceed 200 million in the first week, it will certainly not be too low. As Qin Wei himself predicted, more than 150 million should be reasonable.

So, this week must belong to "Golden Desk".

And just this week, since the first week of "Life and Death" was released last year, because of the fierce market competition between that film and the first film of "Once Upon a Time", it has formed the highest single-week box office market in the domestic film market in history. The record should be broken!

In this regard, many people's predictions are between 350 million and 400 million!

Because according to many people's predictions, the "Golden Terrace" family alone will win at least 200 million! And "Once Upon a Time", which created an amazing box office of 193.64 million last week, has a very good reputation among the audience. Therefore, although the box office will drop this week, it should not drop too much. So, win 130 million to 150 million is still very possible!

Wait until next week, the box office of "Golden Terrace" will definitely drop, but at the same time, "Once Upon a Time", which is entering its third week of screening, will drop even more——

Many fans of Li Qian and "Once Upon a Time" had to sigh helplessly or curse angrily: This is simply a replica of "Once Upon a Time" that was released last year under the pressure of "Once Upon a Time"!

However, just on the third day of the release of "Golden Channel", on March 23rd, Wednesday, there has been no big news, but iFLYTEK News, which has been reporting calmly and normally, suddenly gave a very important headline— —Come on, big showdown! I bet the final box office of "Once Upon a Time" will surpass that of "Golden Terrace"!

Many people were shocked when they saw this news!

Click to open, and the first thing that catches your eye is a photo.

A guy that many people knew very well before.

A big fat man with a big smile.

Click to see, the first sentence is-

"Do you think I'm flattering our boss and the boss's husband? Then you underestimate me too much. Will Gu Letian be like that?

Well, I admit, that's who I am!

But this time, it's really not just flattering. The reason why I came up with such a sensational topic that I might be assassinated in the future is mainly because I've been annoyed to see those box office forecasts recently!

A bunch of so-called experts think they understand it very well, but do you know how many teenagers like me have decided not to go to the movies directed by Qin Da since the upper part of "The Gate of Life and Death"?

Yes, I am really a teenager!

Let me tell you, according to a network-wide survey conducted by Xunfei Group in June last year, the audience's dissatisfaction with "The Gate of Life and Death" was as high as 72.4%! And the expectation for Qin Wei's next movie is only 41%!

On the contrary, the audience satisfaction with "Once Upon a Time" is as high as 89.2%! Dissatisfaction is only 4.2%! And the anticipation for the sequel to "Once Upon a Time" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Guess how much?

77%!

And among the qualified questionnaires who accepted our online questionnaire, 63% were between the ages of 15-35 years old! Experts, do you understand something when you see this number?

The entire Chinese film market earns billions of dollars at the box office every year, and more than 70% of them come from this group of people!

They are the most powerful group of people in the Chinese film market, and they are the group of people who can decide the life and death of a movie!

So, dear readers, please believe that I am seriously flattering our boss!

 …”

And on that day.

At 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, QQ suddenly popped up——

"The Man of Huang Feihong: Be Self-improvement is a wonderful release. The story of a generation of masters is a must-see!"

The next day, at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, QQ popped up again——

"The Man of Once Upon a Time to Be Self-improvement is the most unmissable blockbuster this summer!"

At eight o'clock on Friday night, the QQ pop-up window——

"Father's fans and movie fans, it's time to show your strength!"

The three-day QQ pop-up has alarmed countless people who didn't plan to go to the movies, and those who didn't plan to go to the movies so soon.

And according to the rumors, when Qin Wei, who was leading the team out for publicity, heard that QQ had actually recommended the pop-up window for "Once Upon a Time in Huang Feihong's Man" for three consecutive days, he was so angry that he scolded for a while!

In this way, time keeps moving forward every second, and the week from July 21st to July 27th is over.
