I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 631 629. Three heroes fight Lu Bu (22)

People's joys and sorrows are not connected.

There might be a couple arguing on a certain night, or someone might be having a blast.

Not to mention a certain happy-go-lucky man and a certain woman who seems to be dumbfounded but is actually... dumbfounded, it's not past 12 o'clock today.

It’s still December 11th.

But soon, within a few minutes, December 12th came.

It's completely over on December 11th.

In the early morning when a new day had just begun, less than 20 minutes had passed and it was less than 12:30. At night in Yanjing, some reporters who had stayed up late waiting for news received at the same time a news report that they had been waiting for. long term news.

According to incomplete statistics from the China Film Group, following the zero-point box office record of over 1 million for a Chinese-language film, the first-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" exceeded 30.18 million.

It surpassed the 26.8 million box office of "The Orphan of Zhao", one of the main rivals predicted by the media this month, and successfully reached the second place in the first-day box office of domestic films this year.

The top spot is held by "Tangshan Earthquake" directed by Feng Xiaogang, which was released in mid-July.

To be honest, no one dared to think about this news before entering late November.

Who is the director of this movie?

Ginger pattern.

Not to mention other things such as status and background, just talking about the works, Jiang Wen's last work was "The Sun Also Rises", which invested 60 million, but the box office was only 17 million. Movie.

It can be said that Jiang Wen's movie not only deceived investors, but also nearly bankrupted himself.

And to really look back on this movie, after the filming was completed in 2007, it also competed head-on in Cannes with "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" directed by Xu Xin.

In the end, "The Secret" took home the Maiden Golden Camera, while "The Sun" was nominated for the Palme d'Or but didn't win.

In fact, there is no comparison between the two. One is a new director and the other is already successful. There is no competition between the two films.

But what does an entertainment reporter do?

That's because when mosquitoes come, they have to peel off the skin and squeeze out some flesh from the thighs for urine.

After Jiang Wen's "The Sun", he was quiet for three years. This time he returns with this movie called "Let the Bullets Fly", and the film schedule is scheduled to December.

And what movies will be released in December?

Not to mention the foreign ones, just talking about the domestic ones, Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" is enough to scare many people, not to mention the "Hawthorn Tree Love". and "If You Are the One 2", Feng Xiaogang's second movie this year.

Okay, Chen Kaige steps aside.

The reporters naturally shifted the point of conflict to Jiang Wen and Xu Xin.

Feng Xiaogang won't mention it. First of all, "If You Are the One 1" has done well at the box office. The team is there. As long as the quality is not ridiculously bad, profits are basically inevitable.

What's more, everyone is from the Beijing circle, and you can't see them when they look up.

Journalists didn't dare offend him.

Offend Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige at the same time?

Do you think you have a long life?

So, attention shifts.

As the saying goes, it’s hard to speculate without CP.

Ever since "Let the Bullets Fly" entered its promotion period, reporters have repeatedly asked Jiang Wen what he thought of "The Orphan of Zhao" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" and "Bullet" while ignoring "If You Are the One". movie released in the same month.

Will it become his main competitor?

But Jiang Wen also came from Xiying Film Studio after all. One is a senior of Xiying Film Studio, and the other is a backer of Xiying Film Studio.

If we really talk about our origins, we can all be considered as members of the same family.

In addition, he has no grudges or grudges, so naturally he can't show any shame.

Don’t talk about competition, just talk about movies.

It can be summed up in four words: very much looking forward to it.

He is watertight.

But the media was unwilling to let him go.

We don’t dare to bully Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang. They are respectable people anyway. Plus, everyone is in the same circle, so it’s a bit difficult to find conflicts. But Xu Xin is fine.

One is the Beijing Circle and the other is the Northwest Circle.

Putting aside the fact that you both came out of Xiying Film Studio together, don’t you, the senior, want to educate the younger generations? Don’t the juniors want to cause trouble to the seniors?

Although Jiang Wen has tried his best to ease the situation, he cannot withstand the media's fanning the flames.

We are not really looking for trouble, but through some news and expert analysis, it is relatively simple to actively let "The Orphan of Zhao", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Hawthorn Tree" become opponents.

What's more, this "Let the Bullets Fly" is just a part of their plan to fan the flames.

On December 22, "Hawthorn Tree Love" will be released.

There is also "If You Are the One 2" waiting for me that day.

"If You Are the One 2" was scheduled to be released on Christmas Eve after "The Hawthorn Tree", and it was not long before it was also scheduled to be released on December 22.

The meaning of head-on collision is full.

The two sides are about to start fighting after entering the publicity period. Under the premise of being full of gunpowder, it would be better if "Let the Bullets Fly" can fire cannons, and there is no need to panic if it doesn't.

The main character hasn’t appeared yet.

But...in late November, many people suddenly got inside information.

The amount of filming for this movie is... exaggerated.

But how exaggerated it is, no one knows. I just know that during the three or four days during the prime box office period, its number of screenings will be extremely exaggerated.

Then here comes the problem.

Why exaggerate?

The theater chain does not involve any filming disputes or resource grabbing.

Theater chains only care about money.

Once the movie is good, the production volume will naturally increase.

If the movie is bad, the number of films made will definitely be low.

This is a truth that has remained unchanged since ancient times.

And if the number of filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" is very large, then it is almost equivalent to the same reason...

This movie is great.

very nice!

The film producers and theaters have great expectations for this film!

And now Chen Kaige's "The Orphan of Zhao" has a box office of 103 million after a week of screenings.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see...this movie has run out of steam.

The slogan of "300 million box office bottom line" shouted by the film crew during the promotion period was in vain.

It remains to be seen whether it will be possible to recoup more than 200 million yuan in the end.

Now "Let the Bullets Fly" has taken over, first breaking the record with a million-dollar box office in the early morning, and then edging out "The Orphan of Zhao" to take the second place at the first-day box office. And judging from today's movie reviews throughout the day, There's really nothing wrong with this movie, it's quite beautiful.

It is certain that Jiang Wen will turn over.

That……

This month is going to be interesting.

Not to mention other miscellaneous things, such as "Laughing in the Rivers and Lakes", even if the box office is good... Northeast China is outside the customs after all, and it can't get involved in the disputes in this mainstream circle.

Zhao Benshan is not qualified yet.

Other movies like Cats and Dogs also went away obediently.

You have no right to interfere in adults' fights.

The month is almost halfway through.

A director in the Beijing circle is "consistent", and a director has made a comeback.

I originally thought that the real fight this month would be "If You Are the One 2" and "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" on the same day... But now it seems that "Let the Bullets Fly" has become the one to disrupt the situation?

"The Orphan of Zhao" has great momentum, but it is strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

"Let the Bullets Fly" is a dark horse entry...is it seeking to win in chaos?

So……

What about "If You Are the One 2"? What kind of? As the absolute core of the Beijing circle, Feng Xiaogang went on a personal expedition?

In December, three movies.

Three movies from the Beijing area...

The release cycle of "The Orphan of Zhao" is 55 days.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was 49 days.

If we include movies from Hong Kong and Northeast China...such as "The Big Bang" and the horror movie "Midnight Heartbeat" by veteran movie stars Simon Yam and Ng Chun-yu, which was released on Christmas Day...

From the perspective of Xiying Film Studio alone, it means... among domestic movies, there are five movies this month to "encircle and suppress" Xu Xin's "Hawthorn Tree Love"...

This does not include major Hollywood productions such as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "Resident Evil 4" released in November...

Hiss~~~~~~~

When the box office success of "Let the Bullets Fly" came out, these reporters suddenly discovered... that the big news material was already available.

Speaking more broadly, this month is called a competition among the best.

And speaking of the smaller things...

"Bullet", "Orphan", "Do Not Disturb" Liu Guanzhang... three people surrounded and suppressed a "Hawthorn Tree"?

A head-on collision between Beijing Circle and Northwest Circle?

Three heroes are going to compete head-on with "Hawthorn Tree"...?

So, here comes the problem.

"The Hawthorn Tree", which won the Venice Best Director Award and the Best Newcomer Award, has two gold medals...can it be stopped?

If it can't be stopped... then this encirclement and suppression in the Beijing Circle, regardless of whether it was defeated without force, was simply a great success.

Even before they realized this, many people had already begun to dislike "The Hawthorn Tree".

You chose the release time too late.

Wouldn't it be good to release it in November?

You can also catch up on the popularity of the Venice Film Festival.

It’s been so long now…

How long can these two layers of golden bodies resist you?

Xiying Studio was...too hasty this time.

But, you can’t say too much.

What if "Hawthorn Tree" really blocks it?

After all, everyone who has seen this movie is praising it.

If "Hawthorn Tree" can really fight its way out of these thousands of troops, block...or even counterattack these three movies...

When some people think of this...

Suddenly they realized something and were all stunned.

If Xu Xin can really win...

What does this mean to him?

Lu... Lu Bu?

this……

…

"Three heroes fighting Lu Bu... hahahahaha."

Early morning on December 12th.

Wang Sicong, who was sitting at the dining table, was laughing wildly.

He handed the phone to Xu Xin:

"Hey, Lao Xu, look what they said about you. Hahahahahaha..."

"I've seen it."

Xu Xin, who was bald and holding a bowl of tomato and egg noodles in his hand, said without raising his head:

"As soon as I got up, I received a message from the factory asking me to read entertainment news... Are you crazy? Is this kind of thing worthy of a front-page headline?"

At this time, Yang Mi, who brought out another bowl of tomato and egg noodles from the kitchen, said:

"Why isn't it worth it? These things are explosive among reporters."

As she spoke, she brought it to Wang Sicong.

Everyone else had finished eating and left the table, and the eldest young master was belatedly arriving.

What can be done?

Let’s have another bowl.

Anyway, the marinade is ready.

After hearing this, Wang Sicong cracked the noodles and continued:

"What should we do now? The enemy has reached our doorstep."

"Cold salad."

Xu Xin put down the chopsticks and wiped his mouth with the last egg in the bowl, and only a little tomato left.

"Although I think this news is quite inexplicable, there is a point in it that I quite agree with. This battle is unavoidable. If you lose, you won't be ashamed. If you win, the whole family will be honored. A business without capital, but it can It’s a huge profit. Why not do it? What’s more…”

At this point, he stopped talking.

"What?"

The eldest young master asked doubtfully.

Xu Xin shrugged:

"There are still so many people standing behind me. Even if I lose, I have to die standing without bending my spine."

"...Tsk."

Looking at his domineering friend, Wang Sicong sighed:

"Okay, as soon as I said these words, my painting style was on fire! Tell me, how can I help you?"

"you?"

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"How about I get a box office of 200 million yuan and a midnight show with a million Yin soldiers crossing the border?"

"..."

Wang Sicong's mouth twitched...

How come you are so great and upright one second, and then start to act like a bad person the next?

There are also millions of Yin soldiers crossing the border...

Oh my god, what kind of outrageous idiot does this have to be?

Looking at his expression, Xu Xin said to his wife in disgust:

"Look, people say a friend in need is a friend indeed. This friend and I don't have the same intentions, or else..."

"Kill him."

The kitchen behind Yang Michao pursed her lips:

"I thought the knife was not good for cutting tomatoes this morning, so I just sharpened it. Put it on his neck, and ask Uncle Wang to extort 50% of the theater chain's equity. It shouldn't be a problem. At that time, the so-called Liu Guanzhang will be forced to offline directly. , on the 22nd, all theaters did not show a single movie except "The Hawthorn Tree", so what?"

"I think it's okay, then you give Uncle Wang one of his ears first to let him know it hurts."

"Isn't it okay to eat the waist?"

"Uncle Wang knows whose Ga Yaozi belongs to him?"

"Already know Ga Er?"

"...That's right. How about tying him up first and taking a nude photo?"

"I'm afraid of getting needle holes, so why don't you leave some underwear for him?"

The couple's words made the eldest young master feel that the tomato soup in the bowl had turned bloody, and he broke into a cold sweat:

"You two...are you joking, right? I'm not afraid of Lao Xu, I can beat him. I'm afraid of you...don't mess around!"

"Hmm."

Yang Mipi hummed with a smile, walked to Xu Xin, lowered her head and kissed him:

"MUA~ Shall I help you pack your things?"

"Well, I packed more this time, so I guess I'm very busy."

"Know it."

The young woman nodded and walked upstairs.

After Wang Sicong heard this, he asked in confusion:

"What are you going to do?"

"Propaganda. And it's still intensive publicity...On the one hand, it's the publicity arranged by the factory, and on the other hand..."

Speaking of this, Xu Xin glanced at him and sighed helplessly:

"You don't think that we won't pay any price for Wang Ying's matter, do you? The manuscript that turned you into an innocent victim overnight can be massacred. Do you think they won't return the favor to you after that? Fortunately, it's so I haven’t given many interviews for many years, and face is still valuable. So this time I used the movie promotion to return all the favors... It is foreseeable that starting from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you will be in major media and copywriters , variety shows and other places, you can see me."

"..."

Wang Sicong was stunned...

He sighed helplessly:

"well……"

Oh shit.

So guilty.

How about... promise him?

Just be willful.

Anyway, old man, everything in Wanda will be mine in a hundred years.

The stitches will be removed in three or four days. Today, I got the doctor's consent to change the dressing. The gauze is finally no longer fixed, so I will try to write as much as possible. Thank you for your waiting and understanding during this time. I love you all.
