Chapter 126 Dao Feng ran away and cried bitterly, the first year of 4G is coming

"Gangzi, don't forget to attend the premiere tomorrow night."

"Don't worry, Yaolai Chenglong Cinema, I know."

Feng Xiaogang picked up his cigarette and puffed away without any scruples. As Huayi's top director, he was the only one who dared to look casual in front of the young boss Wang Lei.

"Are there any other movies on the first day of release?"

Wang Lei also lit a cigarette, opened the window, sat on the sofa and asked.

"It seems that there is only one "Charlotte". Listen, what the hell is the name of this horse? It's really an eye-opener for a family that does stage plays to dare to make a movie."

Director Feng tilted his body, curled his lips and cursed contemptuously.

"That's good."

Wang Lei nodded. The "December 19th" schedule was the result of Huayi's careful selection and successfully avoided the Haolaiwu science fiction blockbuster "Gravity".

"Private Customization" took a total of one month to shoot, with a lot of advertising and a confusing storyline. I barely managed to put together three "sketches" to make a movie that didn't look like a bad movie. It was purely for making money.

No shame!

Naturally, I feel panicked!

…

Before Yan Fei and Peng Mo completed the film's post-production, they specifically consulted Chen Heyu for advice on the issue of scheduling. If there are resources, they must know how to utilize them.

First, both of them are newbies and have no knowledge of this aspect;

Secondly, the relationship between Shanhai Film and Television and Han Sanye is there, the schedule is up to you;

Conscience of heaven and earth!

When I checked the schedule, "Private Customization" was not on the list yet. It had no strong rivals, and it could be released on Christmas and New Year's Day. Of course, it was chosen to be released on this day.

He had no plans to target Hua Yi at all.

After seeking their opinions, they went straight to Mr. San’s assistant, Xiao Liu, and set the final date on December 19th.

On the surface, Happy Twist is the producer and Shanhai Film and Television is the distributor. There is no connection between the two, it is just a pure cooperative relationship.

So, the two movies collided and were released on the same day, December 19th!

The first-day box office of "Personalized" was 67 million, while the first-day box office of "Charlotte" was only 29 million!

The total box office that day was 105 million, and "Private Customization" took away 64% of the total.

When Director Feng saw the results, he became very proud: "I can shoot anything, and everything I shoot will have a box office. Who can beat me in box office?"

A big bad movie, it just took first place at the box office on the first day of its premiere.

Fans with normal brains will have to think about it before they realize what this movie is about. They just remember a few funny lines.

Douban.com has been flooded with negative comments!

"RNM, refund the money! Are you worthy of the audience by making such a movie?"

"I spent money to go to a movie theater just to watch dozens of your commercials? You have no humanity at all!"

"The vulgarity, badness, chaos, and ignorance of this film are outrageous. Friends, please don't be fooled."

"The whole drama is a micro-movie + public service announcement. It makes up a few jokes to amuse you. It was better than it was in my childhood..."

When Feng Xiaogang saw this, he instantly broke his guard and actually compared Guo Siwei to him. What kind of person is he worthy of comparing to me?

Anger welled up in my heart, and I immediately opened Weibo and sent out a real-time update. It was very pregnant. The main meaning of the expression was: "The audience loves to watch bad movies. If you like to watch them, I will be happy to make them. You are not worthy of good movies."

I can’t even understand it.”

Good guy!

The director ripped the fans apart at the end. Looking at the global film industry, this is also the first of its kind.

"Gangzi, you are confused, delete it quickly."

The young boss Wang Lei called me in the middle of the night.

"Could it be that I made a mistake?"

Director Feng scratched his neck and pushed back with force.

"This phone call was made by my brother. "1942" lost money, and the company is pointing to this drama to make money. You have offended all the audiences. Do you want to invest in the next movie?"

Wang Lei threatened.

"...Okay, can't I delete it?"

Feng Xiaogang said unhappily, lifted the quilt and walked out of bed. His wife was also woken up, looked at his back, and shook her head.

At three o'clock in the morning, the hot news that Director Feng deleted from his blog appeared on the hot search list. Good people contributed screenshots and enthusiastically publicized the ins and outs of this matter.

"I won't watch this movie anyway, so whoever wants to watch it can go!"

"They are all riding on me, and they still want to make labor money, so go back and dream."

"I think what Director Feng said was rude or not. Some viewers are just stupid, so he was right."

"Maybe there's something wrong with your brain!"

"Director Feng, come up to the big hall and talk."

"Director Liu of Qingshan Mental Hospital: I'm sorry, it's all my fault. He shouldn't have been discharged so quickly."

"..."

The next morning, after Huayi’s emergency public relations and related hot searches, the topic quickly went offline, and the impact was slowly fading.

However, the box office performance on that day was still affected, with only 43 million in revenue, and the Douban score dropped to 6.3 points.

A large number of one-star negative reviews flooded the comment section, making passers-by shake their heads.

"Charlotte" turned against the odds and grossed 46 million at the box office that day. Fans who watched the movie on the first day immediately gave it good reviews after returning home, acting as a faucet to promote this comedy movie.

Zhou Jielun's VCR is also a key promotional material for Shanhai Film and Television, and frequently makes headlines on portal websites.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jie Lun, and "Charlotte", in which I have a friendly guest appearance, is currently being screened. It's hilarious and super cool!"

In just ten seconds, the video successfully called on millions of fans to come into the cinema and cheer for their idol.

The initial idea of ​​this group of people was to see what role Jie Lun played in the movie and whether his acting skills had improved compared to "Rooftop Love".

Who would have thought that you can't close your mouth after sitting down?

"Charlotte: Mom, my son is unfilial and will not be able to serve you until he is old. You should find another one while you are young."

"Zhang Yang: Luo'er, let's talk about our own affairs from now on. I'll call you brother, and you will call me dad."

"Ma Dongmei: My father's name is Ma Dong. He died when I was born, so my name is Ma Dongmei."

"Teacher Wang: How can your grades be affected? Is there still room for your grades to decline?"

Movie fans were all laughing. The movie lasted for an hour and a half, with frequent quotes and laughs hitting their faces like rain. A new piece of baggage was thrown out almost every minute.

After Tidal Sea Spirit appeared on the stage, the audience laughed even more, and the desolate BGM "One Cut Plum" would inexplicably poke their laughter.

The cinema was filled with laughter and laughter.

"Zhou Jiulun: I like every song by Teacher Xia Luo. I usually compose it myself, but I don't know why, but I feel like I've always been living in his shadow."

Fans finally waited for Jie Lun to appear. The scene where Jay Chou was demoted from a mentor to a student on The Voice of China and then was beaten violently by Charlotte made many old fans cry with laughter.

"My Lun's talent is so terrifying that not even the reborn can suppress his dazzling light."

"By the way, how much money does Jie Lun owe the crew, even if he accepts a movie like this?"

"The movie is very good, what's the problem?"

"Jie Lun, if you are kidnapped by the director, just blink!"

What surprised the audience the most was that the crew actually invited Queen Fei Wang to make a guest appearance and sing her famous song "Meet You in 1998" in the movie.

Becomes one of the biggest easter eggs in the movie.

Tickets for Wang Tianhou's concert cost at least one or two thousand, and movie tickets cost only a few dozen yuan. They're not worth mentioning, so just pay for them!

"What kind of background does this crew have that they can invite Director Jay Chou and Faye Wong?"

"I don't know, it used to be a stage drama company, and this movie is their debut."

"That is to say, Feng Gangzi was cheated by a new guy. He really deserves it. He is still in trouble all day long."

In just two days of Douban reviews, the number of reviews reached as high as 190,000, with a score of 8.6!

The high reputation among passers-by and the friendly guest appearances by the kings and queens of the music industry have made more and more people choose "Charlotte Trouble".

"Brothers, remember to hold your chin when watching a movie, otherwise it's easy to laugh and dislocate your head. Don't ask me why I know this."

"One of the best domestic comedies I have seen in recent years, full of sincerity."

"You laugh until you beat the wall, and you cry until you beat the wall, so... I recommend it if the wall cracks!"

On the third day of its release, the box office of "Charlotte" soared and doubled again, smashing the record of 89 million. "Personalized" only had a meager 23 million on the day. Its reputation was terrible and its popularity with the public was completely ruined.

On the fourth day of release, the box office of "Charlotte" was 130 million and "Private Custom" was 14 million!

On the fifth day of release, the box office of "Charlotte" was 59 million and "Private Custom" was 7.6 million!

On its sixth day of release, Christmas Eve, December 24, "Charlotte" dropped to second place with a box office of 63 million. The first place was Brother Cheng Long's "Police Story 2013", which grossed 68 million on the first day.

Private Customization》Only 4.3 million!

On the seventh day of its release, on Christmas Day, December 25, "Charlotte" returned to the number one spot, grossing 75 million, while "Personalized" only had 960,000 left!

The box office of "Charlotte Trouble" is released in its first week, with a cumulative total of 490 million!

"Private Customization" had a box office of 160 million in its first week, and the final estimated score will be difficult to exceed 170 million!

"Is there something wrong with your brain? Are you quarreling with the audience online? Do you have a grudge against money?"

Wang Junhan, the big boss of Huayi, had a bad face and cursed at Feng Xiaogang. A movie that could have earned at least 400 to 500 million in box office was abruptly cut in half.

For the company, the loss of 100 million in revenue would have been recouped earlier if it had not been for advertising placement. He really wanted to put an ashtray on Director Feng's head.

"Mr. Wang, I just want to have fun, but now I know I was wrong."

Feng Xiaogang chirped and explained awkwardly.

"Before doing something, think twice before acting, and act after making a decision. Don't do it again."

Wang Jun said helplessly, things have already happened, what else can he do except curse a few words?

Is it possible that he can still be banned?

Then who will help Huayi make money from filming?

It is precisely because Feng Xiaogang knows this that he has no fear of mistaking him, but if he wants to punish him, then bye bye, the worst is to break up.

"Mr. Wang, what exactly is Happy Twist? It looks unusual to me. It doesn't look like a fledgling newcomer."

After the matter was revealed, Director Feng licked his face and asked Wang Jun.

"Behind them is Shanhai Film and Television."

Wang Jun sighed, the film market in the past two years has been extremely weird, and projects with Shan Hai will be very popular.

When Huayi had smooth sailing, it was never such a grand event.

"You mean, the other party is deliberately trying to mess with us?"

Feng Xiaogang asked in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

Smashing people's jobs and cutting off their wealth is like killing their parents, how can he not get angry?

"Don't think too much, it's just a coincidence. I asked Third Master's assistant to find out. He chose the schedule first and we came last. We were careless."

Wang Jun waved his hand to dispel his suspicion.

Shanhai Film and Television has a lot of energy, and it is quite impressive in front of the third master. It has just completed a billion-dollar project, which shocked the film industry.

If Feng Dazui misunderstood and started criticizing directly on the Internet, wouldn't it cause trouble for Huayi for no reason and create a strong enemy?

"Okay, it's really unlucky to ride a horse."

Director Feng took out the cigarettes and was just about to smoke one to vent his anger when he saw the "cold" look in the boss's eyes and had no choice but to put it in his pocket.

With a twist of the butt, I asked Xiao Wang to pour out my bitterness.

Anyway, he shot this movie with his eyes closed, and he made more than 100 million, which is worthy of his two bosses.

"Why didn't my movie "1942" become a hit? It's obvious that I put my heart into it, but the audience still has no aesthetic taste and deserves to see a bad movie."

Director Feng thought angrily.

…

"He Yu, I'm convinced. Your acumen for the market is terrifyingly accurate. "Charlotte Trouble" was really a hit."

Xiao Yang browsed the news and exclaimed.

However, the box office in the first week was only 490 million. Compared with the 680 million of "Manslaughter 2", there is still a gap of 200 million. Not surprisingly, it will be difficult to catch up.

"Congratulations, you saved the chrysanthemum."

Chen Heyu sat in front of the monitor. After watching the last set of shots, he sat lazily on the folding chair and chuckled.

"Hey, wait until I finish filming this movie and win a few awards for the company, otherwise everyone will scold me behind my back and say that I can only make commercial films."

Xiao Yang bared his teeth, a little unconvinced.

His expectations for the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are not high. Frankly speaking, the film has strong empathy and a brilliant script, but whether it will be a hit or not will only be known after it is released.

After all, it is not a family comedy, and the audience for the movie is relatively narrow.

"As long as you can make money, I never care whether you get an award or not. If you're in a hurry, let's set up our own Shanhai Film Festival, and I'll give you ten or eight awards."

Chen Heyu laughed and made nonsense.

"That's okay, then I won't want the award and will directly become a judge, hehe."

Xiao Yang said happily and longingly.

"Okay, stop daydreaming all day and get to work! Where are the field notes?"

Chen Heyu shouted loudly.

I patted Lao Xiao and told him to get up quickly and hurry up to finish shooting the scenes in China. After the new year, I would need to take the crew to Tianzhu.

After Christmas, Xiao Yang called him and said that the assistant director was ill and had been admitted to the hospital. He would not be able to get out of bed for a few months. He asked his boss to come and cover his shift.

In the entire Shanhai Film and Television, Chen Heyu is the only one whose directorial skills can reassure Lao Xiao.

Lao Xiao flattered him and coaxed him into the set.

Luo Wenwen was busy running the coffee shop and had no time to accompany him, so he agreed to come over. Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to stay in the villa in this weather with the heater blowing on and petting the dog?

But now that he's here, he has to keep an eye on this drama and make it to a level that surpasses the original version in order to be considered a success.

On the monitor, Wang Baoqiang, whose hair was dyed yellow, pulled out of the van and put bottles of Glenin into his pocket under the watchful eye of Lu Yiyi.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and after he came to his senses, he struggled with him.

Wang Baoqiang easily suppressed him, snatched two bottles of medicine, and walked away calmly.

Lu Yiyi: "Hey, don't leave. You are a man, don't run. What are you doing?"

Wang Baoqiang heard this, turned around and walked back, bent down to pick up another bottle of medicine, raised his head at Lu Yiyi to provoke him, looked arrogant, and criticized him like crazy!

His acting skills are definitely far underestimated. In 2013, Bao Qiang had not yet appeared in "One Man's Martial Arts", and the martial arts idiot Feng Yuxiu had not yet come out.

But in fact, he had played a more crazy role as early as the 2012 Hong Kong film "The Chase".

The role of Huang Mao Penghao was not difficult at all for Wang Baoqiang, and he had to be more restrained emotionally.

"Bao Qiang's acting skills are top-notch among male actors."

There was no scene of Xiao Yang in this scene, he sat aside and commented.

"How can someone who can win three Best Actor Awards just rely on luck? Just look at it. Apart from his emotional problems, his career is definitely going smoothly."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

"Damn! Boss, you really look like a semi-immortal now. Please help me find out, how is my career line?"

Lao Xiao's face was full of smiles and he was flattering.

"As long as I'm here to protect you, you still can't make a lot of money, so you have to reflect on it."

Chen Heyu replied.

"Haha, yes, I have already met a noble person."

Xiao Yang said with a smile.

…

The second day of New Year's Day.

The second week box office results of "Charlotte Trouble" were announced, totaling 720 million!

Compared with the first week, it increased by 230 million!

This phenomenon is called "reverse decline" in the industry, and it usually occurs in movies that have received a lot of praise, and their high attendance rates continue to lead to more movies being scheduled.

The first day of the new year.

On the fourteenth day of the release of "Charlotte Troubles", with 31% of the film schedule, Brother Cheng Long lost his temper.

In the previous life, the cumulative box office of "Police Story 2013" on this day was 380 million. This time it barely exceeded 200 million. The film schedule, attendance rate and prime time share are also declining sharply.

The theater chain has given more screens to "Charlotte". Whoever sells it will help the theater make money, and whoever is the God of Wealth.

"You need to be careful when scheduling. If you encounter mountains and seas, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

The seniors in the circle teach newcomers with serious faces.

This law has been verified by Old Monster Xu, verified by Feng Xiaogang, and verified by Cheng Long. If you want to make money, you must avoid Shan Hai movies.

Some production companies began to inquire about Shan Hai's next film, its subject matter, starring actors, and most importantly, its release date, and they all adjusted the schedule one after another, not wanting to risk the chance.

The box office in the third week was 470 million, with a total of 1.68 billion!

The box office in the fourth week was 250 million, with a total of 1.93 billion!

After the fifth week of release, the single-day box office was less than 100, and there was basically no chance of exceeding 2 billion!

But this achievement has blinded everyone. A debut film, he just stepped on the shoulders of Director Feng and Brother Cheng Long and succeeded in taking over.

"My anus is preserved, but it seems that I can't keep it."

Xiao Yang smiled bitterly.

The total box office of "Manslaughter 2" was 1.66 billion, and the total box office of "Charlotte" should be around 1.94 billion.

But "Charlotte" was released at the end of 2013. Its performance that year alone was only 1.08 billion, ranking third in the box office list.

After that, Lao Xiao took Chen Heyu to study the script all day long. When he was free, he would hold seminars with the main creators to polish the details of the plot together and strive to be 100% perfect.

But Chen Heyu is more concerned about another piece of information. One day a year ago, the authorities issued fourth-generation mobile communication business licenses to the three major operators. Translated, they are 4G network business licenses.

The first year of 4G has finally arrived!

The era of mobile Internet is coming!

"Start the second generation research and development of Moss smart speakers!"

Chen Heyu called Zhang Nan and explained.

…

Scalpers gradually discovered that the stock of Moss smart speakers was getting less and less, and even the pre-sale activities were cancelled.

"I'm your uncle, I knew the price would go up!"

Zhao Dong was so angry that he smashed the keyboard. In just this month, the second-hand market price of Moss smart speakers rose back to 800 yuan again.

"It would be nice if I could hold on for a little longer."

He regretted thinking that the profit of 300,000 yuan had slipped away from his hands, and his mentality collapsed instantly.
