Chapter 378: Quietly visiting the class
The "Martial Arts" crew next door is much more lively than here.
The one who carried the banner in "Those Years" was Liu Yifei, and in "Martial Arts", from the director to the actors, they are all very talented: Chen Kexin, Zhen Bullet, and Jin Chengwu are indeed more famous.
The two movies were released at the same time, but what investment was involved in "Martial Arts"? What investment was involved in "Those Years"?
What's the starring cast of "Martial Arts"? What's the starring cast of "Those Years"? You, Liu Yifei, etc. are bringing in new people, can she lead them?
If it weren't for the fact that the two leading actors in the "Martial Arts" crew, Zhen Zhuzi and Hui Yinghong, had to film remote scenes, Chen Kexin would have really wanted to advise the "Those Years" crew to be more pragmatic and understand the concept of the film market first, and then Xiaocheng would shoot
That's pretty good. Why did you bring in two new people?
Look down on people.
What does it mean to let a vase actor (at least that's how Chen Kexin sees Liu Yifei) lead a group of new actors, plus two new directors, to make a campus youth film with an investment of 13 million to be released at the same time as me?
Yuan Yuan may not mean to be provocative, but Chen Kexin feels that Yuan Yuan does not respect him.
So when he was asked at the premiere: "Those Years" starring Liu Yifei and "Martial Arts" were released on the same day, how does Director Chen view the competition between the two movies?" He readily replied: "Young filmmakers
Sometimes you don’t know how to read the market and you still need to practice.”
The implication is that "Martial Arts" will exercise "Those Years".
"What is Director Chen's expectation for the box office of the two movies?"
"Everyone has seen the investment and lineup of "Martial Arts". We are targeting the 500 million mark at the box office!"
Zhen Zhan, Jin Chengwu, 500 million is not too much.
When talking about his opponents, Chen Kexin was more cautious: "The reason why it is called a box office myth is because it does not appear often."
He didn't name anyone, and he didn't say anything to the point.
The crew of "Those Years" didn't touch "Martial Arts", and there was no need for it.
It's a martial arts film and a campus youth film. It's not close to each other, so there's no need to mess with each other.
If he wants to exercise, he can exercise.
Then, the first-day results were released, with 12 million for "Martial Arts" and 23 million for "Those Years."
Double kill!
It’s still Monday!
The crew of "Martial Arts" was dumbfounded.
Is this film so sellable?
Zhen Zhan and Jin Chengwu can't beat Liu Yifei?
Liu Yifei was extremely happy to learn about this achievement. This movie is the first for which she was responsible for the promotion and box office.
23 million on the first day, and over 100 million in the first week should not be a problem. According to the general theory of first week*3, the total box office should be 300-400 million.
And the comments online are pretty good. Everyone praises Liu Yifei for looking good in her school uniform.
"Cheng Yu'an, this thief really found a treasure, I hate it!" This comment under the movie had the most likes, and Liu Yifei even sent a screenshot to Cheng Yu'an.
"That's almost it." Your box office performance is good, so you say, "After "Those Years" you don't want to take on any more youth movies."
"Why?" Liu Yifei has just tasted the sweetness of youth movies.
"You think if you can sell box office, the industry will recognize you."
"Isn't that so?"
"Movies also have a chain of contempt, and youth idol dramas are at the bottom of the chain." Anti-Japanese dramas are another matter.
Although this is not a good phenomenon, it is the fact.
Those who make literary and artistic films look down on those who make commercial films, as they feel that directors of commercial films have given up on self-expression to flatter the audience, while directors of commercial films say that artistic films are pretentious, leaving behind poems and distant stars and sea when they are not full.
But they all look down on those who film idol dramas.
It wants a story but not a story, it wants a schedule but not a schedule.
In two years, they will collectively despise filming online dramas.
"Those Years" is strictly a fan film.
Fans of Liu Yifei accounted for the vast majority of the audience.
Liu Yifei also said when promoting in Pengcheng that day: "This movie is a way to give back to my fans and friends who have always supported me. I know they have always wanted to see me wearing a school uniform and acting in a school drama."
"I am also very grateful to the audience for their support since the release of "Those Years"."
""Those Years" was a hit, will Yifei act in youth films in the future?"
Liu Yifei shook her head: "This one is enough. Besides, I'm already in love and I'm no longer suitable to play a student. Otherwise, I will be a big surprise to the audience."
No one expected that "Those Years" would sell like this in early July, with 23 million on the first day and 160 million in the first week, with the largest increase on Sunday - "Kuaiben" was broadcast the day before.
The intimate interaction between Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei gave the audience a mouth full of dog food.
After that, "Those Years" exceeded 200 million in 10 days.
"Martial Arts"?
It fell behind on the first day. When "Those Years" broke 200 million, it only broke 100 million.
You know, "Transformers 3" will be released next Thursday. By then, "Those Years" and "Martial Arts" will be released for 17 days. "Those Years" has made enough money, and "Martial Arts" will lose all its money.
"Those Years" has experienced rare rapid growth at the Hong Kong box office.
It was released simultaneously on Hong Kong Island and the Mainland, and the distribution was handed over to Yinwang. So far, "Those Years" has grossed HK$45.3 million at the box office, temporarily ranking first among domestic films this year.
After Liu Yifei finished promoting in Hong Kong Island, she took time to go to Macau to see her boyfriend.
I haven’t seen you for so long, so of course I miss you.
In order to avenge Cheng Yu'an's visit to the class without telling him, Liu Yifei came today without notifying Cheng Yu'an in advance: "Don't tell him."
Liu Yifei asked Xiao Zheng to keep it secret on the phone.
"Don't worry, I won't tell him."
When they arrived at the studio, Liu Yifei first changed her clothes, put on a mask, and stood next to Cheng Yuan pretending to be his studio assistant.
Stare at the monitor with him.
We were actually filming a gambling scene between Zheng Shuang and Ren Dahua on the set.
"Hey, Brother Hua, please relax. You kiss me. I, Sister Shuang, can let it go. You have been filming movies all your life, and you still can't talk about it?" Cheng Yu'an came to the scene to talk to the two of them, and Liu Yifei was also following him.
superior.
It wasn't that Ren Dahua couldn't keep his mouth shut. He smiled and said, "Teacher Zheng Shuang is so beautiful."
"Okay, okay, get ready, let's do it again. Bring me a glass of water, I'm dying of thirst." The latter sentence was said to Liu Yifei, who was pretending to be an assistant.
Liu Yifei walked away to get Cheng Yuan's cup.
Cheng Yu'an sat back in the director's chair and waited for the scene to be set up to do it again.
"Director, drink water." Liu Yifei deliberately spoke in a rough voice.
Cheng Yu'an was focused on the show now and didn't care about his assistant. He took the cup and drank it.
There are too many characters involved in the Macau drama, so it was quite difficult to shoot. I just shot a set of shots in one night: "Ka, let's do this today and continue tomorrow."
Cheng Yu'an announced the end of work today and led others to a summary meeting. It was already early in the morning after the meeting.
Cheng Yu'an walked to the room, and Xiao Zheng and "assistant" Liu Yifei also followed.
Cheng Yu'an said: "I don't have anything to do with you tonight, so go to bed early."
As he said that, he went into the study room to read the documents.
Xiao Zheng left knowingly. When Liu Yifei saw him leaving, Cheng Yu'an was taking a shower in the bathroom, thinking about how to tease Cheng Yu'an, when she heard Cheng Yu'an's voice coming from the bathroom:
"Yifei, bring me a pair of pants."
Liu Yifei was startled, then realized it, picked up her pants and walked to the bathroom, saying angrily: "Asshole, if you had known it was me, I had to wear a mask for a whole day and it was so hot."
Cheng Yuan pulled her into the bathroom...
70 minutes later, the two were lying on the bed, and Liu Yifei asked him: "How did you know it was me? I told you not to tell you."
"You look very similar, with clothes and a mask, but the smell on your body is not covered. As soon as you stand next to me, I know it's you."
Instead of being annoyed, Liu Yifei was very happy and wanted to continue riding. Cheng Yuan said: "Go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to film."
