Xiangjiang people are anxious, especially when they see opportunities to make money. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As early as when Yin Jun started the casting project of "The Star Knows My Heart", Xiangjiang Cinema ushered in a new film.
In early January, Yin Jun gave the book of "The Loser" to Wu Siyuan.
Wu Siyuan, who had been ready for a long time, immediately started production and shooting.
Lin Zhengying is worthy of being an elite who assisted Li Xiaolong seven or eight years ago, although this is his first time directing a movie, but because of his many years of experience on the set, except for the bumps and bumps at the beginning, a week later, it is getting better and better.
Of course, there are also people who cooperate with him, almost all of them are the Hong family class and the Pink Chrysanthemum apprentices.
Everyone is an acquaintance of Lin Zhengying, of course, to save face.
It's funny to say, Lin Zhengying's favorite thing is to drink stuffy wine, don't eat anything, and drink liquor one by one.
But after Yin Jun's persuasion, Lin Zhengying also felt that he was young and should do a good job, if he damaged his body because of drinking, wouldn't he die young like Li Xiaolong?
didn't show their own ideas well, that's really a loss!
So during the filming, although it was also after the filming, when he would invite Yuan Biao, Dong Wei and other brothers to dinner, Lin Zhengying would only drink a bottle of half-catty wine, and after drinking, no one should persuade him, otherwise the senior brother would stare at you, and you would be frightened.
From three meals a day, one or two catties of wine per meal, to now drinking one and a half catties of wine a day, Lin Zhengying's change can make the family really overjoyed, and they really can't wait to thank Yin Jun in person.
Yin Jun himself felt very relieved when he heard Dong Wei say this.
Lin Zhengying's talent is very outstanding, you can see the films he directed.
Although he plunged headlong into the wave of zombie movies and couldn't come out, the zombie movies he starred in are just people like to watch, and there will be a good box office anyway, which is very commendable.
This time Lin Zhengying is the first time to be a director, so he is very serious about doing things, and reducing the amount of alcohol is only a small change, more because he will read Yin Jun's script very seriously every day, and figure out how to make a film with enthusiasm.
And Lin Zhengying is very serious, Yuan Biao, who was the starring actor for the first time, was really tortured by him to death, and almost broke his leg in only three days, and after three weeks of filming, Yuan Biao was injured in seven or eight places all over his body, and he was about to lie on the couch to eat the finale banquet.
But when the editing was finished and everyone saw the finished film, all the fatigue was gone.
Wu Siyuan is a very far-sighted person, and when he saw this, he immediately made a decision, and increased the scale of the 18 movie theaters that had been contacted by 5 again.
When Golden Harvest was digging Cheng Long, he owed Wu Siyuan a favor, and when "The Loser" was released this time, it happened that their "Owl and Dumbo" also happened to be released, and there were no good films recently, so they directly gave it all to "The Loser".
By the way, Zou Wenhuai and Cai Yongchang also want to see what this movie that is stronger than "The Owl and Dumbo" will be in Wu Siyuan's mouth.
Because of the rush to take over "The Owl and Dumbo", "The Loser" was released on Monday, February 12, and the date was not good, and the scale of the joint release of 23 movie theaters was far less than the 31 cinemas of "The Owl and Dumbo".
But Wu Siyuan is particularly good at publicity, after he spent more than 50,000 yuan on publicity, and put up posters in newspapers and streets, the box office on the first day was actually good, reaching 780,000 in one go.
The next day, the box office inevitably ushered in a decline, which was 680,000, a drop of 100,000.
But on the third and fourth days, the box office miraculously did not continue to decline, but ended with a single-day box office of 700,000.
On the fifth day, which is usually close to the day of vacation, the box office of "The Loser" rose to 750,000 again.
The box office continued to skyrocket on Saturday, reaching 800,000.
On Sunday, the last day of the week, the box office exceeded 850,000!
As a result, the box office accumulated in the first week
5.26 million!!
No one thought that a movie that was not starring a well-known actor or directed by a well-known director could get such good results, which is really a bit unbelievable.
The total box office result of 5.26 million in such a week suddenly made the box office of Hung Jinbao's "The Owl and Dumbo" 5.07 million not yet maintained for two months, and it was directly ancient.
Such good results made the theater chain and movie theater owners who originally wanted to cut the number of screenings in the second week immediately stabilize and continue to give "Loser" a very good amount of filming.
"The Loser" is so ferocious, Wu Siyuan didn't expect it at all, he thought that it could be similar to "The Owl and Dumbo".
Now it seems that he has to admire himself again, he was able to let Yin Jun give a script, and he actually agreed to Yin Jun's designated starring, director and martial arts instructor - basically Yin Jun led this movie, he was responsible for coordination and money and efforts.
He Wu Siyuan is also a famous actor and director in the past, and now he is the owner of a film company, so it is incredible that he can have such a low profile.
However, this kind of small work will also have rich returns.
Looking at the posture of "The Loser", it is directly going to the first box office record in Xiangjiang!
After receiving Wu Siyuan's thanksgiving call, Yin Jun just smiled, there was nothing to be excited about.
"The Loser" was originally a good movie, but now it has been greatly improved compared to before, can it not be high at the box office?
Besides, the prototype of the story of "The Loser" is Ryazan, an important historical figure belonging to the eastern Guangdong family, and he also has great prestige in the Xiangjiang area.
If it was replaced by a national release, "The Loser" would definitely be beaten by "The Owl and Dumbo", but now it is in Xiangjiang in 1979, and those are two different things.
waited for the box office results in the second week, and "The Loser" actually hit the box office of 3.97 million again, which really made all the film companies gasp.
Since the production of Xiangjiang Films, it has been like "The Loser", and the decline in the second week is only about 23%, which is simply too little.
Its such good results also prove that the quality of the people is indeed very passable.
For a time, many newspapers and magazines in the entertainment movie section have launched a profound interpretation of "The Loser".
Among them, Yi Shu, a columnist of "Ming Pao", said the most brilliant.
"I don't like to watch kung fu movies, but recently, the streets of Xiangjiang are full of discussion about kung fu movies, so I can't help but go to the cinema to watch them. The movie "Loser" is said to be the work of Mr. Yin Jun, the most popular screenwriter in Xiangjiang, for me, who is also from the mainland, Mr. Yin Jun is a rare genius, just think about what I was doing when I was sixteen years old, I can't help but sigh, there is really a genius in this world.
Generally speaking, there are several kinds of favorite stories of our Chinese people. The first is the beautiful story of a poor child who succeeds through hard work and finally becomes an official and marries the wife of a large family; the second is the story of a ruined son and a wicked person who suddenly wakes up and transforms into a good person, such as Zhou Zuo in the midst of the three evils.
Of course, Ryazan is not as good as Zhou, he is just a cute little naughty. In the design of this plot, Yin Jun's setting for Ryazan is not the kind of annoying gentleman, but he obviously has the intention of doing good deeds, but he has been misunderstood again and again. For example, he is enthusiastic about martial arts, just to eliminate violence and peace, but because of his mother, he has never been able to learn good skills, but he is flattered by others and thinks that he is a martial arts master.
Such a child, although a bit of a loser, is the best in my opinion. Even when he suffered a lot and went through hardships, he didn't give up his original dream, and he really wanted to have more than 108,000 such rich children. Others only saw Ryazan tortured, but this is also Yin Jun's method, he first made us sympathize with Ryazan, and then inflicted constant pain on him, which made the negative emotions in our hearts continue to accumulate, and when he suddenly turned into a butterfly, this negative emotion exploded all of a sudden, and then replaced by the joy of success, just like our own children and brothers.
I don't understand the filming of movies, and I don't think martial arts movies are good-looking, but if you simply discuss Yin Jun's handling of the story, I think he is very qualified. He knows how to write a good story, how to make us get a good story, so as to comfort our impure hearts in a noisy society. ”
Yi Shu is not like the queen of criticism in the 80s, but she now has a lot of fans, especially her articles are delicate and sharp, and can very arouse people's emotions, so she is a very popular critic in Ming Pao.
With such a burst of praise from her, many reserved young people who think they are high-style can't help but watch a "Loser", which will definitely contribute a lot to the box office of "Loser" in the third week.
Although Wu Siyuan has a very good relationship with Jiahe, at this time, he chose to insist on his foreign selling price and not relax.
Now I'm not in a hurry, why wait until the third week of release is over, and I probably know what the final result is, so that I can maximize the benefits of foreign copyrights! )
