The movie market in January was still dominated by "I Am Legend". Although a Hollywood blockbuster "Tron" was released on the 10th, it only made less than 10 million in a single day, which had no impact at all.
"I Am Legend" still took over 10 million in box office on Monday of its fourth week, firmly occupying the top spot at the daily box office.
After five working days, "I Am Legend" has earned a total of 54 million, maintaining a rhythm of exceeding 10 million every day.
After 23 days of release, the total box office reached 731 million.
"Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2" are not that strong. The former was released half a month earlier and has been in theaters for 37 days. It has no follow-up. It only took five days to get 7.5 million, with a total box office of 628.5 million.
There is no hope of surpassing "Tangshan Earthquake", but "Let the Bullets Fly" is a movie that is enough for people to find no fault with.
"If You Are the One 2" continues its weekly box office decline. It still had 50 million last week. It only got 12 million in five working days this week. The total box office in 24 days was 396 million, which is less than 400 million.
However, even if the trend is not good, it is certain to exceed 400 million.
One film is worth 600 million, one is 400 million, one is 300 million, and one is 200 million. The individual box office is close to 2 billion. Judging from the box office alone, Ma Xiaogang's career as a director is close to perfect.
However, compared to Li Qian, he is still slightly inferior.
The first Chinese-language film to exceed 700 million, the total box office of the four films reached 1.5 billion. Ever since the release of "I Am Legend", Li Qian's praise has not stopped.
If Li Qian hadn't come out of his mouth to break the box office record of "Avatar", which is beyond everyone's imagination, otherwise the media would have directly promoted Li Qian to a higher level.
Five days have passed, and the controversy over Li Qian has not stopped. Even the fans who have unconditional trust in him are mostly skeptical.
After all, the next movie is this year, and it will break 1.3 billion this year, which is a huge span.
That's "Avatar", the "Avatar" that makes everyone crazy!
However, since the celebration press conference, Li Qian has never appeared in public in the past five days, and any publicity activities have been stopped, whether it is interviews with various TV stations or other activities.
The sudden disappearance made Ma Xiaogang, who suddenly started jumping up and down, feel proud. Faced with his ridicule, Li Qian did not dare to say a word.
He didn't dare to come out to confront him, and not many media or netizens scolded him. Ma Xiaogang was relieved. Basically, he would ridicule him every day when he was interviewed.
Li Qian's abnormal behavior also made major companies a little strange. He pretended to be cool in such a high-profile manner, and then hid after pretending. What happened?
Could it be possible that you really drank too much that day?
However, a small and medium-sized incident in the industry attracted the attention of all large and medium-sized companies.
After Song Ge left Perfect Film and Television, which he founded, general manager Du Yang also resigned, taking with him the other half of the marketing team.
Anyone with a keen sense of smell knows that the opportunity has come.
"Give up Ma Xiaogang!"
Yu Dong immediately made a decision and stopped contact with Ma Xiaogang. At the same time, he also ordered, "Look for everyone who is familiar with Li Qian. I want to find him as soon as possible."
Starting last week, Bernard, like many companies, has been contacting Ma Xiaogang. After all, he is also the director second only to Li Qian in the box office. One failure cannot stop anyone from pursuing him.
Although there is little hope, after all, Ma Xiaogang's contract with Huayang has expired and has not been renewed, so he has to give it a try.
However, after being in contact for so long, he promised everything he could, but couldn't get any positive feedback, so Yu Dong gave up.
Perfect Film and Television, which is now responsible for the online promotion and marketing of Li Qian's movies, has undergone a major overhaul. Du Yang took people to a small company, occupied the magpie's nest, and became the boss himself.
Almost half of the remaining marketing team of Perfect Film and Television was taken away by Du Yang. It is impossible for Li Qian to continue to cooperate with Perfect Film and Television.
However, Du Yang only has half of the team and resources, and lacks the connections from Perfect Film and Television. As an Internet game, Perfect Time and Space behind Perfect Film and Television still has a lot of energy in online marketing.
It is obviously impossible for a small company like Du Yang to take advantage of Li Qian's three or four blockbuster movies a year.
Not only Yu Dong, but Wang Changtian also tried to continue to cooperate with Li Qian, as well as Xiao Ma and the newly established Lay's Pictures. Zhang Zhao and Wang Changtian kicked out Guangxian. He had just joined Lay's and wanted to make a career.
The ground slapped Wang Changtian in the face.
However, Li Qian's work phone has been turned off, and his personal phone has also been turned off. The only other personal phone that is turned on only communicates with Guo Fan and a few people.
All large and medium-sized film and television companies are looking for Li Qian to take over the online promotion and marketing business of Li Qian's movies instead of Perfect Film and Television.
Three or four blockbuster movies a year, with a box office of 1.5 billion, even if it is just an online promotion and marketing business, is enough to make all companies flock to it.
However, no one could find Li Qian.
He is in retreat at home.
"I Am Legend" no longer needs publicity. With the current popularity of the movie, it is better than any other publicity.
Of course you have to do it if you brag about it. Li Qian is at home imagining his next movie.
Li Qian had already thought about what he wanted to shoot half a month ago.
On the morning after the release of "I Am Legend", Tong Liya told him with a look of admiration that one day, with his fame and the movies he made, he would change some bad phenomena in this society.
At that time, Li Qian didn't take it seriously because he had never had such an idea since he wanted to be a director.
For him, making movies is just because he has countless memories of film and television dramas engraved in his mind since he was a child. After watching them too much, he fell in love with the movies and wanted to show them to the audience.
Make a movie that the audience likes, let the audience applaud the movie and applaud yourself at the same time.
As for changing society and conveying some spirit, there is no such extravagant expectation.
However, thinking about Tong Liya's words later, using her own fame can help society, and it is also a kind of feedback to society.
After all, Li Qian's fame comes from all the audiences. Without their box office contributions, he would not be where he is today.
We should also do something for society. Whether it can change the status quo is another matter. At the very least, we should do it.
The realistic subject matter is not the rural murder case that Qi Yukun is pursuing, nor the darkness of the bottom of individual society.
What is closely related to the common people, what everyone sees around them, is nothing more than birth, old age, illness and death, food, clothing, housing and transportation. These are social issues.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" has entered Li Qian's filming plan.
Li Qian has recalled this movie many times in his mind. The helplessness of the patients and the pain of not having money are vividly depicted in the movie, even though no one around Li Qian has ever had cancer or experienced the despair of having no money to afford medical treatment.
, and was moved again and again.
Although we don’t know when this movie was shot, we can tell from Xu Zheng’s image and the last details of the movie that it should have been shot after 2018.
In the final subtitles of the movie, the last date is 2018. You can know it based on the information in the subtitles.
In 2018, Glenin, also known as Gleevec in reality, entered the scope of medical insurance in 19 provinces and cities, and the country began to implement zero tariffs on imported anti-cancer drugs.
Prior to 2015, the country had already begun formulating a pharmaceutical reform plan.
Li Qian's previous idea was to make the movie in about 15 years. At that time, the government had already begun to reform pharmaceuticals. If the emergence of the movie triggers a large-scale social response, it can have a promoting effect and speed up the time, even if
Only one year is enough, enough to save many lives and families.
Li Qian has been thinking about this matter and searched a lot of information on the Internet, and found some problems.
In fact, some people in China are already taking Indo-Gleevec, and some people specialize in purchasing it on behalf of others.
Moreover, according to the law, it is not illegal to sell counterfeit medicines as long as they do not cause harm to people.
However, these details are not a problem. The actor's behavior should constitute a smuggling crime.
You still need to consult a professional lawyer to see if this is considered smuggling.
However, the biggest discovery was not this, but that Li Qian had seen too many leukemia patients in the past half month, which made people feel depressed.
From children aged four or five to elderly people aged sixty or seventy, both men and women, families have been dragged down and children abandoned one after another.
The more you know, the more uncomfortable you become.
Since it was going to be filmed, why wait until 2014? Li Qian decided to film it this year without further ado.
No matter what the government's attitude is, no matter whether it's useful or not, Li Qian just wants to film it.
This is also the reason why he suddenly became so high-profile.
It is undoubtedly difficult to change the status quo of society with a movie.
The only possibility is that the film's influence is unprecedentedly powerful and that all people in society regardless of occupation, age, education, or class know about the film, are moved by it, and speak out for it.
Although the box office is not absolute, if there is no box office, no one will watch it. No matter how good the movie is, it will not form a social phenomenon and will not have much influence.
The impact of the same movie with a box office of 100 million and a box office of 500 million is completely different.
As for the current film market, in order for a film to achieve unprecedented influence, it can only win the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, and one of the Best Foreign Language Films.
However, it's obviously impossible.
The next best thing is to break the box office record of "Avatar" with more than 1.3 billion in box office. The movie is touching enough and will definitely cause a sensation in the entire society.
As for whether it will be useful in the future, the government can't see it, and Li Qian can't do anything.
However, he must do what he can, live up to the fans' support for him year after year, and give back to the society.
A high profile is a must, and Li Qian is not afraid of causing resentment and controversy. With the achievements of the previous four films, these controversies are not a big deal, as long as they can increase the topic of the film.
During these five days at home, Li Qian cut off all contact with the outside world, replayed the movie in his mind several times, combined with the current social situation, almost sorted out the entire movie, and also wrote the literary script of the movie
come out.
It was written very quickly. Even Li Qian, who stands on the shoulders of giants, couldn't fault the original movie. It's a classic enough. I've been thinking about this movie for more than half a month.
"I'm not the God of Medicine".
Finally, after writing the title for the cover of the literary script, Li Qian went out without much delay.
He had to go see Han Sanping and ask Han Sanping to introduce him to the leader of Optoelectronics.
The first question for a movie is whether it can be made or not.
