The day before the Chinese Valentine's Day is Liu Tianxian's birthday, and it is also the eve of the screening of "Love Is Afterlife". In order to get a good box office for the midnight screening, all the creators, including Jiao Enjun, Xiu Qing, etc., gathered at Xingmei Cinema in Beijing.
.
Fang Yi invited a mysterious guest, Jiang Wen, to come to the scene. This senior is the most famous person at the scene. After watching the film, he will give a few words of commercial praise to give the film a little boost.
There's no way around it, Sister International Chapter's film has done so well. It was released a week earlier, with a single-day revenue of 8 million (working days), and a weekly box office of nearly 50 million. It's still possible that there will be another hit during the "Chinese Valentine's Day" festival.
The matter of box office is very practical. Unless both of them are Aquaman, it is impossible for a couple to watch two movies at the same time during the Chinese Valentine's Day, either Fang Yi's or International Chapter's. They can only choose one of the two.
If it weren't for Fang Yi to change Yu Feihong's scenes, and Liu Tianxian's sacrifice during the promotion period, allowing Yu Feihong to compete at the box office, and she held the symposium aloofly, she might have been suppressed to an incredible result.
The theaters took care of International Chapter's reputation and were more optimistic about International Chapter's appeal, so even if it was released a week earlier, they still arranged more films. Not only that, on the night of the release of "Perfect", International Chapter organized a screening at the Broadway Cinema in Beijing
He held a series of catwalk shows and used connections far beyond those of Yu Feihong.
Half of the entertainment industry came: Liu Jialing, Olympic diving champion Guo Jingjing, pianist Li Yundick, senior director Tian Zhuangzhuang, line expert Wang Zhiwen, known to be short and tight... The whole premiere was sparkling.
It dwarfs "Love Has an Afterlife".
International Zhang himself is quite generous. Within a few days, he traveled all over Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, winning a bunch of pheasant prizes. He still refused to give up until the day before Chinese Valentine's Day, and returned to the Broadway Cinema in Beijing to compete with "Love Has an Afterlife".
No chance given.
From the actors to the publicity, everything about "Flying Dragon Riding the Face" is better than "Love Is Afterlife", how could it lose?
But Jiang Wen didn't believe in evil. He first watched the movie "Perfect" and took the initiative to ask Fang Yi to criticize this junior sister: ""Perfect" is that kind of so-called theater movie that is extremely mediocre and dull.
It’s garbage, it’s dross, it not only has no artistic value, it doesn’t even have the most basic visual effects. It’s a poor imitation of foreign chick flicks!”
Jiang Wen complained to Fang Yi in private, not on stage.
No matter how badass he is, he can't offend people like this.
However, Jiang Wen still couldn't keep his mouth shut when he came on stage: "As a director, Fang Yi is very good at making films, but he hasn't made feature films, so I can't comment on him... Now I'm just talking about being an actor, I think
Fang Yi is the only one of their generation..."
Jiang Wen raised his finger, "I told you, he is the only one who can convince the vast majority of people on the hard conditions and has a sense of involvement. I think this saves the director a lot of effort, and there is no need to waste words and ink on why his character is so popular.
Love, why can you be the protagonist? You don’t need to suppress the performance and makeup of the supporting actors. You can let everyone perform to their heart’s content, because the audience already has expectations for Fang Yi... Of course, the other people in this film are indeed beautiful, the little girl Liu Tianxian
, the big girl Yu Feihong... I said they are the best-looking combination among the films released this year, I believe you will not refute me."
"Another movie released in the same city can't compare with it at least in this regard. You have to watch the others before I can say anything about it."
When reporters who came to attend the premiere heard this, some silently took out their shorthand notebooks.
Journalists generally prepare two or three articles for press release, including positive, negative, and neutral.
As soon as the box office results came out, I even watched half of the movie, and then I was ready to publish the article - but quite a few reporters who came today had no intention of winning "Love After Life" and only wrote two articles.
Those who lose ugly, and those who lose not so ugly.
After Jiang Wen fired off a burst of cannons, he found an opportunity to ask Fang Yi: "The International Chapter is not far from you, are you scared?"
Fang Yi disagreed.
Liu Tianxian didn't know that Jiang Wen and Fang Yi were going to cooperate, and they had been in constant contact recently. She was very unhappy that Xiao Fang was being teased like this. She wanted to say something, but saw the camera coming towards her, so she had no choice but to give up.
At the same time, Zhang was being interviewed at the Broadway Cinema. There were even more reporters here, and he looked down at the bustling sky.
The reporter asked: "Yu Feihong's film "Love Is Afterlife" is also being screened next door. What's your 'blessing' to them?"
The people on Zhang's side burst into laughter, and there was a lively atmosphere in the cinema.
The International Chapter deliberately did not mention Yu Feihong: "Fang Yi is my junior brother. Although he is a newcomer, I am still optimistic about him. If he can have his first film starring himself, it is a great progress."
The reporter asked again: "The style of "Love Is Afterlife" is actually very different from "Perfect", but they have a common emotional core. Can these two films really be compared together?"
Zhang echoed the reporter's words: "Maybe they can't be compared together."
Another burst of laughter.
The reporter is not stupid. He understands what Zhang means. "Perfect" has proven itself the week before and is not bad at all. It is indeed unfair to International Zhang to compare a film that has a high probability of being a blockbuster with "Fei".
The protagonists of "No" were named one by one, and they tacitly agreed not to talk about "Love Is Afterlife", showing implicit contempt. Even if they were just a road show, it was even more grand than "Love Is Afterlife".
Why should we compare them?
The international chapter of the road show, Gao Chaosi, announced: ""Perfect" will be released in Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. From the beginning, we not only wanted to make a film for our own entertainment, but also aimed at overseas..."
——But Yu Feihong responded politely: "As long as the audience sees my sincerity and appreciates the story, I will not make the movie in vain."
"Do you want to participate in the film festival? Yes, the Tokyo Film Festival. I have applied for it now. I don't know if I will be shortlisted."
"If the response in the mainland market is good, then people from other markets will buy our film and be willing to distribute it... Of course we can force distribution now, but that would be selling it at a low price, and I don't want to do that."
Female literary youths belong to the type of people who spend their time quietly and won't fight for anything. She is also suitable for individual interviews. She speaks very philosophically and pays attention to humility, but she is not suitable for group interviews.
When the main creators all sat down to watch their films, Liu Tianxian held half of his face angrily: "Fang Yi, do we pay so much just to have people laugh at us?"
"That's not true, it's just that we are all newcomers, so the market will definitely not be optimistic about it."
"Why don't you think highly of us?"
"I told you, newcomer."
Liu Tianxian stood on tiptoe and looked back at the back row, and found that a reporter had left early because he was not optimistic about it. Jiang Wen was belatedly arriving and sat down next to Fang Yi leisurely with his pants up.
Liu Tianxian was still wondering whether Jiang Wen's words were frightening. Taking advantage of the dimness of the black screen, she punched Jiang Wen in the air and shouted "ha", which made Fang Yi notice it and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Why are you laughing? I'm here to stand up for you."
She complained quietly.
Fang Yi said, "Happy birthday."
Liu Tianxian calmed down, and the movie flashed the dragon logo of the general chrysanthemum, illuminating her brightly. She spread her hands: "I am a cow, I eat grass and milk; although you have not prepared a birthday
It’s a gift, but I still want to make you a wish.”
She said in a low voice and seriously, "Our movie will sell so well that it will surpass the one next door. We won't have to be asked if we are afraid anymore, so we can avenge our shame."
In the end, he continued to be indignant, "Although, there is no birthday gift... oh."
Liu Shengsheng stopped what he said next.
The screen is introducing the leading actors of the movie, and the first one that flashes across is the lead actor:
"Liu Tianxian."
This is her first theater movie in which she has a real starring role, and Fang Yi actually takes the lead.
She was startled, and finally thought of this. Like lightning in her head, everything was connected and connected. She looked at Fang Yi next to her, but Fang Yi's expression did not change.
This made her embarrassed and touched, "I got it."
