Chapter 58 "I Want to Be Famous" has passed the trial
"pretty!"
When Feng Xiaogang, Wang Shuo, Shi Kang, Liu Zhenyun and Shao Yingxiong gathered in the chess and card room in the private club, Wang Shuo gave a thumbs up at Shao Yingxiong. The night before yesterday had spread all over the country today. All the headlines on major media websites actually chose the same title - Don’t be too much of Zhang Weiping!
Under this main title, Zhang Weiping was criticized by almost all media, and some even dug out the news that Zhang Weiping made a big fuss in Shao Yingxiong Studio. Everyone said that Zhang Weiping was unauthentic!
Shao Yingxiong's revenge is so beautiful. He did not make a fuss at the premiere of "Heroes", but instead asked questions one by one. Zhang Yimou was speechless and Zhang Weiping could only respond to one or two by coping. The third question directly chose to shut up and leave the stage.
In the eyes of Feng Xiaogang, Wang Shuo, Shi Kang and Liu Zhenyun, Shao Yingxiong's revenge was not only avenged, but also avenged it perfectly. He slapped others in front of everyone, and the opponent could not fight back.
"What's so beautiful?" Shao Yingxiong sighed and said, "Are you just watching the front page headlines? Have you read all the entertainment news?"
Shao Yingxiong reached out and took a newspaper and said, "The box office of "Hero" continued to rise, and the first day of the capital was as high as 2.8 million, and the first day of the country's first day of the box office was conservatively estimated to reach 10 million. Moreover, major theaters claimed that the pre-sale of "Hero" movie tickets was very ideal. Basically, all the pre-sale tickets in major cities were stolen, and no empty tickets were found until Christmas eve!"
Putting down the newspaper, Shao Yingxiong said, "Brother-in-law. You have been in the movie circle for so many years. You should be more familiar with me. Do you think according to this momentum? How much box office can "Hero" be able to sweep on Christmas?"
Although Feng Xiaogang was dissatisfied with Zhang Yimou in front of the media, he really told the truth when he returned to his small circle: "If this wind continues to blow, it will probably be fine if it will be 10 million a day."
The whole room is quiet, ten million a day, and it can exceed 10 million in ten days. This is a miracle in the current movie market!!
It can even be said that it was this miracle that drove the entire film market, which caused the explosion in the film market after 2005.
After "Heroes", "The Ambush" exceeded 100 million, "Night Banquet" exceeded 100 million, and "The Virgin" also exceeded 100 million. If this does not explain the problem and does not explain the power of Lao Taozi's power, then these people in the room are no longer the elites in the circle, but a group of idiots.
"So many of us writers and directors are in the same room. Why don't we make a book for martial arts movies? What can we do with the help of picking up people? It's the real thing to make money."
Wang Shuo was the first to react, but Shao Yingxiong knew that Feng Xiaogang had his own idea long ago, but he didn't say that, because there was no one suitable for producing such a script in this room except Shao Yingxiong. Both Shi Kang and Wang Shuo were too poor, and Liu Zhenyun's book was too realistic. In fact, even Shao Yingxiong was not very suitable in Feng Xiaogang's impression, but Shao Yingxiong wrote "Hero".
"Let's talk about "I Want to Fame". I'm talking about old men, we've been working on it for several months. Are you sure you have any questions? I've lost a few thousand dollars these days. Can you do it?"
Shao Yingxiong turned the topic away abruptly. It was obvious that he did not want to participate in these things.
Several people continued to talk about the script, and the topic of "Hero" was easily left behind, but they could never get rid of the explosive news that had to be on the media headlines every day. For eight days, "Hero" topped the box office rankings for the same period with a revenue of 10 million a day. The box office record of 80 million a day stunned everyone, and also made the brothers in the private club chess and card room start to create with peace of mind.
In an environment where the box office of "Heroes" is full of eyes, they have no more to talk about, so what else can they talk about? When they teased the poor Wang Shuo, they scolded Zhang Yimou. When he started scolding, everyone else shut up. This is not in front of the media. What can they present?
However, if anyone releases them and meets media interviews outside, they are guaranteed to be iron-mouthed and steel-teethed. Zhang Yimou is nothing in their mouths. When they return to the chess and card room, they will be sure to be able to return to a state of peace of mind in a few minutes. Because there is nothing to say. Whether you scold Zhang Yimou or tease the poor, did Feng Xiaogang promise Shao Yingxiong to run Zhang Yimou? What happened? Zhang Yimou gave up a box office of more than 80 million in eight days, and the total box office of "Big Star" was only more than 50 million. What should I do? Get a mule!
It’s true that these guys can change the script very quickly once they get serious. They changed all "I Want to Fame" around New Year’s Day, basically completely covering up the particularly explicit plot in self-evident. The other parts are silently exposed. Just this small amount can probably surprise the audience in front of the TV. I’m afraid that it will really make a TV series. Many people will say in front of the TV: “It turns out that the entertainment industry is like this…”
After revising the book, Feng Xiaogang announced another news that made everyone so quiet that they didn't want to speak: "The Hero has exceeded 100 million."
After the eight-day movie viewing tide, the box office of "Hero" began to decline, and even so, it still exceeded 100 million during New Year's Day!
There are many things in the film industry that cannot be said, because box office is always so difficult to understand. In the history of the entertainment industry that Shao Yingxiong has seen, Feng Xiaogang said this. He said that the box office of "1942" I shot so carefully is expected to be about 800 million, but the day after the release, Huayi stock actually hit the limit because the box office is far lower than expected! "Private Customization" box office reached 655 million in 17 days. What's this called?!
The script of "I Want to Fame" has not been handed over yet. During the New Year's Day, the relevant departments were on holidays, and even if they were handed over, no one would pay attention. When Shao Yingxiong and Feng Xiaogang and his group returned home, Shao Yingxiong got into their study alone. He wanted to study what the box office was like, but after reading the history of the entire entertainment industry, he did not summarize any good rules. The reason why "Lost in Thailand" became popular was that "Lost in Thailand" was really stable enough, or you could continue to push forward and even find a pattern, such as "Crazy Stone" that led to this comedy effect. For example, Feng's comedy created a relaxed and funny entertainment film for people during the New Year holiday.
So, can this pattern be changed?
Just like after "Heroes" drove the trend, "Night Banquet" and other productions were launched and achieved good box office results; for example, Du Qifeng's movie with a strong sense of rhythm has been laid for so many years, and after making people get used to his Du style, a "Infernal Affairs" that also puts a lot of effort into the rhythm has become popular in Xiangjiang.
Shao Yingxiong's heart is a bit wild. In a market like a roulette, he wants to try the waters, which makes a fortune and lose.
He wanted to defeat Zhang Yimou. After the box office results of "Heroes" came out, I'm afraid that for a long time, the only injustice of domestic filmmakers was to drive Lao Touzi off the box office throne. But how long did these people do this? Lao Touzi's "The City is a Round Round" once again set a new box office record.
Since it takes so long to follow the market trend and still need movies to lay the groundwork, then is there any hope of going against the wind?
Who made Shao Yingxiong unable to make the legendary box office of 1.2 billion even if he took out the two films "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Thailand"?
Shao Yingxiong planned to do an experiment, hoping to find a style and subject that everyone can accept and expect.
During these days, Shao Yingxiong watched movies endlessly. No matter which country or type, he searched and watched them again and again.
He seemed to be back to the state he had just obtained this computer. He saw all kinds of freshness and warmth all the way from the top ten banned films in the world, and from the tough guy themes of "The Expendables" such as "The Expendables" to "The Eleven Arhats", which are also accumulated by stars.
In the end, he saw a movie that was suitable for practice. The movie was not very invested, but the rhythm was very strong. Moreover, if this movie was adapted, it would be very suitable for the Xiangjiang film market. The only problem was that there would be no hope for it in the mainland.
When Shao Yingxiong put all his thoughts on the movie, "The Great Dyeing House" appeared on the small screen in the cold winter. Chen Shouting's character and temper immediately attracted all the audience in front of the TV. The ratings started from 21%, and reached 25.5% within three days, but it soared directly to 31.7% after five days!
While "Hero" created myths on the big screen, Shao Yingxiong continued to play his kingly image on the small screen. Although he did not participate in the production of "Da Dyeing Factory", this TV series, which was stunningly "produced by "Shao Yingxiong Studio" by CCTV, attracted all the audience waiting in front of the TV.
This is an inertia. It is like watching "Crazy Stone" and looking for comedy movies with similar styles. After watching "Lost in Thailand", people were already looking forward to it when they were young. This is also an important reason why movie fans stick to those Hollywood series of movies even if they get worse and worse.
On the day when "The Great Dyeing Factory" was released, CCTV's advertising fee income reached 120 million yuan. Shao Yingxiong sold the second round, and the total profit of the third round of playback rights and audio-visual products rights was actually 40 million yuan.
Of course, the money didn't arrive so soon, but Shao Yingxiong had the confidence to try the movie.
At this moment, Feng Xiaogang finally brought back a piece of news that made people feel excited. The script of "I Want to Fame" was passed at an informal discussion meeting. As long as the filming was completed and passed the formal review, it could be broadcast.
This news is really important to this group of people. When a few people gathered together to start studying the role, Shao Yingxiong and Feng Xiaogang discussed: "Brother-in-law, I promised Mr. Wang that Tong Dawei would play Zhang Wan and Wen Zhang play Zhao Mingyuan, look..."
"If you agree, just agree."
Feng Xiaogang didn't care much, after all, these two characters are not particularly important in the script, they just have more scenes.
Chapter completed!
