Jiang Chendong took the newly signed script and left happily...
In the next period of time, Jiang Chendong will carefully sort out the plot of "The Truman Show" and then send out audition invitations to the actors he is considering.
The combination of Li Qing and Jiang Chendong is enough to attract the attention of the outside world.
The popularity of "Westward Journey" starring the former is still rising. It is estimated that the box office will be as low as 200 million, making it the highest in history.
The latter is the most famous film director in mainland China and has produced many movies that have exploded at the box office.
The two combined together can be said to be a powerful combination, causing a shock in the industry that is no less than dropping an atomic bomb.
Their audition invitations will definitely make countless actors in the industry salivate.
The crew of "The Truman Show" is expected to hold a film press conference in half a month. In this half month, Jiang Chendong has to find all the actors in "The Truman Show". In terms of time, it is undoubtedly quite tight.
of.
While Jiang Chendong was busy preparing for his new film, the third-week box office sales of the only four films released during the Spring Festival were finally belated.
"New Year's Wish", the total box office in three weeks reached 14.16 million.
"The Last Strike" had a total box office of 21.33 million in two weeks.
"Across the Pacific", 18.22 million.
"Westward Journey", 47.28 million.
When all the filmmakers in the industry saw this number, they couldn't help but take a breath.
For other movies, the longer they are released, the more their box office numbers decline.
But "Westward Journey" is just the opposite.
Compared with the previous week, although the box office figures of the three movies "New Year's Wish", "Strike" and "Across the Pacific" are still on an upward trend, the rate of increase has begun to slow down.
The total box office figures of the three companies combined are only about 12 million!
But the box office of "Westward Journey" in its third week increased by a terrifying 16 million!
"It's impossible, it's a fake, it must be a fake!"
People exclaimed and couldn't believe this box office figure.
Many people question box office fraud.
No matter how good "Westward Journey" is, it can't increase to such a terrifying number in the third week.
The box office of your movie is more than the total box office of all movies in the same period in a single week. How is this possible?
However, after careful inspection by the media and related personnel with a magnifying glass, they discovered that there is no reason why the box office of "Westward Journey" has grown so horribly in the third week.
It turns out that the third week of the Spring Festival movie screening coincided with the Lantern Festival. On the night of the Lantern Festival alone, it contributed more than 5 million in box office.
In addition, after the box office performance of "Westward Journey" was so impressive, the eight major theater chains have also increased their film schedules for "Westward Journey".
Last week it was still 28%, but this week it reached a terrifying 34%.
Of course, the main reason is that movie theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities, which were originally weak, are starting to gain momentum at this moment.
Including fifth-tier cities and county-level cities, there are many movie fans who are enthusiastic about "Westward Journey" and regard "Westward Journey" as a classic. It would be a pity not to watch it.
It can be said that two-thirds of the 16 million box office of "Westward Journey" in the third week came from third- and fourth-tier cities.
All the major film production companies were jealous at this moment and sent people to analyze the success of "Westward Journey".
Among the film works that have recently been submitted to radio and television, the number of various films adapted from "Journey to the West" has exceeded double digits!
This is absolutely unimaginable in ordinary times.
But the success of "Westward Journey" has made these people take chances and try to eat meat while they eat soup.
If you make movies with this idea in mind, you can imagine how worrying the quality of these follow-up movies is.
After many layers of analysis, many people in the industry were dumbfounded by the marketing methods of "Westward Journey".
Before the movie was released, many scenes and dialogues about "Westward Journey" had been on the Internet for nearly two months. In addition, promotional videos of "Westward Journey" also appeared frequently on the Internet.
Major movie theaters, airport stations, major schools and other public areas.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
All the major film producers know how to use these obvious advertisements, such as online promotions, etc., but they just don't bother to do them.
But what shocked them was that Hanhai seemed to have achieved such magnificent results precisely because it invested a large amount of publicity funds on the Internet.
In private, many people also revealed that Hanhai has secretly cultivated a group of "cyber trolls".
During the movie's release period, Hanhai allowed these trolls to continuously promote the popularity of "Westward Journey" on major portals, forums, Weibo and other areas.
In addition, the famous film review website Hongfanshu.com has also become a target of these online trolls.
In just two weeks, among the many movies released during the Spring Festival, except for "Westward Journey", which received rave reviews and scored as high as 9.5 points, the ratings of other movies have all been below 7 points, making them barely worth watching.
Many movie fans log on to Red Sweet Potato to check out movies. Once they see this picture, it is clear at a glance which movie they should choose to watch.
Is this all the work of the navy?
Of course not. The number of people who rated "Westward Journey" on Hongfanshu.com exceeds tens of thousands. No matter how powerful Hanhai is, it is impossible to mobilize such a huge number of movie viewers to rate it quietly.
Obviously, it was the Navy who set a good pace.
Then a group of people who follow the trend, whether they have seen it or not, are talking loudly and expressing their opinions at this time.
And movies like "One Flew Over the Pacific" and "Pistachio" may not be that bad. It's just that someone secretly set the pace, which is why everyone unanimously followed the trend and issued bad reviews for movies like "One Over The Pacific".
After thinking about this, many filmmakers immediately thought of cultivating a navy army.
However, after a few contacts, they all felt that it was a bit tricky to operate.
This is obviously an impregnable group. Even if many producers intend to cultivate it, they are unable to do anything.
It is impossible for them to organize thousands of pirates in a short period of time, and there are countless brokerage troubles in the process of payment and transaction.
Ke Zhenhui seemed to have anticipated this problem a long time ago, so he privately advertised for the trolls on major platforms and took on private jobs, which once solved the problem of many people wanting to contact the trolls.
Li Qing didn't pay too much attention to this.
Existence is truth. Internet trolls can always exist in the gray area without incident. This at least shows that society needs it at this stage.
Moreover, the development of Internet trolls is also conducive to the collection of intelligence.
Now, under Li Qing's instructions, Hanhai has once again begun large-scale talent recruitment. The scale of this recruitment is unprecedented.
