I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

  Chapter 631 629. Three British Wars against Lu Bu (22)

  People's joys and sorrows are not connected.

   On a certain night, there may be a couple arguing, or someone may fly with joy.

  And a certain man who is so cool and flying and a certain woman who seems to be dumbfounding... not to mention the dumbfounding woman, today, it's not past 12 o'clock.

   Still December 11th.

   But soon, in a few minutes, it came to December 12th.

  December 11th is completely over.

And in the early morning when a brand new day just started, less than 20 minutes had passed, less than 12:30, at night in Yanjing, some reporters who stayed up late waiting for the news received a message they had been waiting for. long news.

  According to China Film Group’s incomplete statistics, following the highest box office record for a Chinese-language film at a zero-point screening with a figure of more than 1 million, the first-day box office of “Let the Bullets Fly” exceeded 30.18 million.

   It surpassed the 26.8 million box office of "The Orphan of Zhao", one of the major rivals predicted by the media this month, and successfully came to the second place in the first-day box office of this year's domestic film.

  The No. 1 throne is held by the "Tangshan Earthquake" directed by Feng Xiaogang, which was released in mid-July.

  To be honest, no one dared to think about this news until late November.

  Who is the director of this movie?

   Ginger pattern.

Other things such as status, background, etc. are not mentioned, just talk about the works, Jiang Wen's last work is "The Sun Also Rises", which invested 60 million, but the box office is only 17 million Movie.

   It can be said that Jiang Wen's movie not only deceived investors, but even himself was close to bankruptcy.

   And this movie really needs to be traced back. After the filming was completed in 2007, it was still head-to-head in Cannes with "The Unspeakable Secret" directed by Xu Xin.

  In the end, "Secret" won its maiden Cameron d'Or, while "The Sun" was nominated for the Palme d'Or but did not win.

  In fact, there is no comparison between the two. One is a new director, and the other is an established director. The two films cannot be compared to each other.

   But what do entertainment reporters do?

  That’s the urination that when mosquitos come, they have to peel off the skin, remove the thighs and squeeze out some flesh.

  Jiang Wen has been silent for 3 years after "The Sun". After returning this time with this movie called "Let the Bullets Fly", the filming schedule is scheduled for December.

   And what movies are coming out in December?

  Foreign ones are not mentioned, but domestic ones, "The Orphan of the Zhao Family" by Chen Kaige is enough to make many people tremble with fear, not to mention there is also "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree". And Feng Xiaogang's second movie "If You Are the One 2" this year.

   All right, Chen Kaige stepped aside.

  The reporters naturally shifted the point of conflict to Jiang Wen and Xu Xin.

  Feng Xiaogang will not mention it. First of all, the box office of "If You Are the One 1" is good. With all the cast members there, as long as the quality is not ridiculously bad, then basically it is inevitable to make a profit.

   What's more, everyone is from the Beijing circle, and they don't see each other when they look up.

  The reporters dare not offend him.

  Offending Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige at the same time?

   Is it too long to live?

   So, attention shifted.

   As the saying goes, there is no CP and it is hard to fry.

Since "Let the Bullets Fly" entered the promotional period, reporters have been ignoring "If You Are the One" and asked Jiang Wen what he thinks of "The Orphan of Zhao" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "Bullet" Movies released in the same month.

   Will become his main competitor.

   But Jiang Wen came from Xiying Studio anyway, one is the senior of Xiying Studio, and the other is the back of Xiying Studio.

  Everyone can be regarded as the same family if they really want to talk about their backgrounds.

  Adding that he has no grudges or enmities near him, he naturally can't afford to put on a face.

   Don't talk about competition, just talk about movies.

  It can be summed up in four words: I am looking forward to it.

  He is watertight.

   But the media was unwilling to let him go.

   We dare not bully Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang, they are also prominent figures, and since we are all in the same circle, it is a bit difficult to find conflicts. But Xu Xin is fine.

  One is the Beijing circle and the other is the northwest circle.

   Leaving aside the fact that you both came out of Xiying Studio, you seniors don’t want to educate the younger generation? The juniors don't want to trouble the seniors?

  Although Jiang Wen tried his best to ease the situation, he couldn't stand the media's fanning the flames.

   Everyone is not really provoking and finding fault, but through some news and expert analysis, it is relatively simple to actively make "The Orphan of Zhao", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Hawthorn Tree" become opponents.

   What's more, this "Let the Bullets Fly" is just a part of their plan to fan the flames.

   On December 22, "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" was released.

  There is also a "If You Are the One 2" waiting that day.

   "If You Are the One 2" was scheduled for Christmas Eve after "The Hawthorn" was scheduled, and it was not long before December 22 was also selected.

   The meaning of a frontal collision is already full.

  The two sides are about to fight after entering the promotional period. Under the premise of being full of gunpowder, it would be better if "Let the Bullets Fly" can be fired, and you don't panic if you don't fire.

  The main character hasn't appeared yet.

  But... in late November, many people suddenly got inside information.

  The number of shots in this movie is... exaggerated.

   But how exaggerated it is, no one knows. I just know that during the three or four days of the box office golden period, its number of shows will be very exaggerated.

   So here comes the problem.

  Why exaggerate?

  The theater chain does not involve filming disputes, or resource grabbing.

  The theater chain only recognizes money.

  When the movie is ready, the number of films will naturally increase.

  If the movie is poor, the number of films must be low.

   This is the same truth since ancient times.

  And if the filming volume of "Let the Bullets Fly" is very large, then it is almost equivalent to one reason...

   This movie is great.

very nice!

  The film studios and theaters have high expectations for the market of this film!

   Now, after a week of screenings, Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" has grossed 103 million at the box office.

  Anyone with a discerning eye can tell... this movie is at its end.

  The slogan of "300 million box office bottom line" that the film crew yelled during the promotional period was in vain.

   In the end, it is still a question of whether it can exceed 200 million repayments.

Now that "Let the Bullets Fly" takes over, it first broke the record with a box office of one million in the early morning file, and then squeezed out "Orphan of Zhao" and won the second place in the box office on the first day. And judging from the movie reviews throughout the day today, There is really nothing wrong with the filming of this movie, it is quite good.

   It is certain that Jiang Wen will turn around.

That…

  This month is interesting.

  Don't mention other miscellaneous fish, such as "Laughing Jianghu", don't look at the box office... After all, the Northeast is outside the customs, and it can't get involved in the disputes in this mainstream circle.

   Zhao Benshan is not qualified enough.

  Other movies, cats and dogs, also obediently get out of the way.

   Adults are not qualified to meddle in fights.

   This month is now almost halfway through.

  One director in the Beijing circle was "consistent", and another director turned over.

  I thought it was "If You Are the One 2" and "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" that could really fight this month... But now it seems that "Let the Bullets Fly" has become the spoiler?

   "The Orphan of Zhao" has a great momentum, but it is strong on the outside and capable on the inside.

  The dark horse in "Let the Bullets Fly" enters the game... Is it seeking to win in chaos?

So…

   What about "If You Are the One 2"? What kind of? As the absolute core of the Beijing circle, Feng Xiaogang's personal conquest?

  December, three movies.

  Three movies in the Beijing circle...

  The release cycle of "Orphan of Zhao" is 55 days.

   "Let the Bullets Fly" is 49 days.

  If you count the movies from Xiangjiang and Northeast...such as "Laughing Jianghu", and the horror film "Midnight Heartbeat" released on Christmas Day by veteran actor Ren Daling and Wu Zhenyu...

  From the West Film Studio alone, it is equivalent to...Among the domestic films, there are five films to "encircle and suppress" Xu Xin's "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" this month...

  This is not counting the big Hollywood productions such as "Harry Potter Deathly Hallows" and "Resident Evil 4" released in November...

   hiss~~~~~~~

  When the box office news of "Let the Bullets Fly" came out, these reporters suddenly discovered...the big news material was already there.

   On a bigger scale, this month is called a race for the throne.

   But to say the least...

   "Bullet", "Orphan", "Do Not Disturb" Liu Guanzhang... The three of them encircled and suppressed a "Hawthorn Tree"?

  A head-on collision between Beijing Circle and Northwest Circle?

  The three heroes are going to fight "The Hawthorn" head-on...?

   So, here comes the problem.

  Won the Venice Best Director Award, as well as the best newcomer award for "The Hawthorn Tree" with two golden statures... Can you stop it?

  If it can't be stopped... then the encirclement and suppression campaign in the Beijing area, regardless of whether it was invincible or not, is simply a great success.

   Even before realizing this, many people have already started to look down on The Hawthorn Tree.

  The release time you selected is too late.

   Isn’t it good to release in November?

   It can also catch up with the heat of the Venice Film Festival.

   It's been so long now...

  How long can these two layers of golden bodies last for you?

  Xiying Studio this time...was too sloppy.

   But, you can’t talk too much.

  What if "The Hawthorn" really gets in the way?

   After all, people who have seen this movie are boasting.

  If "The Hawthorn" can really cut a **** way out of this army, block...even counterattack these three movies...

  When some people think here...

  Suddenly realized something, they were taken aback.

  If Xu Xin can really win...

   What is he?

  Lu... Lu Bu?

this…

  …

   "Three Greats vs Lu Bu...hahahahaha."

   Early morning on December 12th.

   Sitting at the dining table, Wang Sicong laughed wildly.

  Handed the phone to Xu Xin:

   "Hey, Old Xu, look at what they say about you. Hahahahahaha..."

   "I've seen it."

  Holding a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in his hand, Xu Xin said without raising his head:

   "As soon as I woke up, I received a message from the factory asking me to watch entertainment news... Crazy, this kind of thing is worth a headline?"

  At this time, Yang Mi who brought out another bowl of tomato and egg noodles from the kitchen said:

   "Why isn't it worth it? These things are hot on the reporter's side."

   While speaking, she brought it to Wang Sicong.

  Others had finished eating and got off the table, and the eldest and young master arrived late.

  What can I do?

   Next bowl again.

   Anyway, halogen is readily available.

  Hearing this, Wang Sicong continued to say while he was staring at the noodles:

   "Then what should we do now? The enemy has already hit the door."

   "Cold salad."

   Splashing the last eggs in the bowl into his mouth, Xu Xin, who only had a little tomato left, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"Although I think this news is quite inexplicable, there is a point in it that I quite agree with. This battle is inevitable. It is not shameful to lose, and it is glorious to win the whole family. Business without capital can It's a huge profit. Why not do it? Not to mention..."

   Speaking of this, he paused.

   "What's wrong?"

  The young master asked doubtfully.

  Xu Xin shrugged:

   "There are still so many people standing behind me. Even if I lose, I have to stand and die without bending my spine."

   "...tsk."

  Looking at his domineering friend, Wang Sicong sighed with emotion:

   "Okay, as soon as the words are spoken, the style of painting will be ignited! Tell me, how can I help you?"

"you?"

  Xu Xin thought for a while, and said:

   "Think of a way to get me a box office of 200 million yuan, how about a midnight show with a million soldiers crossing the border?"

   "..."

  Wang Sicong's mouth twitched...

   How the **** are you being upright one second, and not being a human being the next?

   Return millions of Yin soldiers to cross the border...

  Mom, what an outrageous idiot must be to do this?

   Looking at his expression, Xu Xin said to his daughter-in-law in disgust:

   "Look, people say that a friend in need is a friend. This friend and we are not of the same mind, or..."

   "Kill it."

  The kitchen behind Yang Michao Nunuzui:

"I thought the knife wasn't good for cutting tomatoes this morning. I just sharpened it. I put it on his neck. It shouldn't be a problem to ask Uncle Wang to blackmail 50% of the theater's equity. At that time, the so-called Liu Guanzhang will be directly forced to go offline." On the 22nd, all the theaters will not show a single movie except "The Hawthorn Tree", how about it?"

   "I think it's okay, then you first scratch his ear and send it to Uncle Wang, so that he knows it hurts."

   "I can't get rid of my waist, can I?"

   "Who does Uncle Gayaozi know?"

   "Then Ga Er knew it?"

   "... That's right. Then tie him up first, how about taking a **** photo?"

   "I'm afraid of the eye of a needle, why don't you leave him some underpants?"

  The words of the couple made the young master immediately feel that the tomato soup in the bowl became bloody, and cold sweat broke out:

   "You two... are you kidding me? I'm not afraid of Old Xu, I beat him. I'm afraid of you... Don't mess around!"

   "Humph."

  Yang Mi hummed twice with a half-smile, walked up to Xu Xin, bowed her head and kissed him:

   "MUA~ Shall I help you pack up?"

   "Well, I cleaned up more this time, maybe how busy I am."

"Know it."

  The little young woman nodded and walked upstairs.

  Wang Sicong asked in bewilderment after hearing this:

   "What are you going to do?"

   "Propaganda. And it's still intensive... On the one hand, it's the propaganda arranged by the factory, on the other hand..."

   Speaking of this, Xu Xin took a look at him and sighed helplessly:

"You don't think we don't pay anything for what happened to Wang Ying, do you? The manuscript that turned you into an innocent victim overnight can be slaughtered. Do you think people won't ask you to return favors after that? Fortunately, so I haven’t given much interviews for many years, and the face is still worth it. So this time I used the movie to promote, and I simply gave back all the favors... It is foreseeable that from tomorrow to the day after tomorrow, you will be in the major media, writers, You can see me in variety shows and other places.”

   "..."

  Wang Sicong was stunned...

   sighed helplessly:

"well…"

Oh shit.

  So guilty.

  How about... promise him?

   Just treat it as capricious.

  Anyway, everything in Wanda will be mine in a hundred years from now.

   The stitches will be removed in three or four days. I got the doctor’s consent to change the dressing today. The gauze is finally no longer fixed, so I try to write as much as possible. Thank you for your waiting and understanding during this time, I love you all.
