The star who is too difficult to get out of the village

Chapter 88 The Movie Is Released
Today is the first time that Mushroom House has been dispatched collectively at night.

The goal is Wanshi Cinema in Fushan District.

"Legend of Lu Xiaofeng: Jinpeng Dynasty" will be screened at [-] o'clock, and Yang Jie bought tickets early.

Although I didn't go to the premiere, I wanted to come and support the movie I wrote.

Originally, Xu Jianmin called him a few days ago and asked him to take time to go to Beijing to attend the premiere and express his thoughts on creation.

But Yang Jie is just a porter, so what do you think? I still think about it when the time comes, it's troublesome.It's better not to join in the fun, and besides, there are no task rewards. How can I stay at home comfortably when I run around.

Going there is nothing more than watching a movie with the crew, answering questions from a few reporters, making a scene or something.

It's not interesting, he doesn't lack this exposure now.

The most important thing is that he didn't have a lot of participation in the film, he just provided the script, and he didn't participate in everything else. He was not familiar with the crew and felt uncomfortable with the crew.

It is said that the release of a movie has to go through a series of publicity. Because this movie has a story from the beginning, many audiences have heard it.In addition, Xu Jianmin has been promoting it on various occasions since the establishment of the project, and it has been a few months until now. He has heard it all. up.

Although there are no holidays during this period in June, it is not a peak period for watching movies, but also because there are fewer competitors, the film scheduling rate is much higher.

After all, Xu Jianmin is an old-fashioned film and television producer. He has made many classic movies and has a good reputation. This time, the movie he collaborated with Yang Jie, who is known as a genius, is still very popular in the cinema. of.

In addition, Wang Yufei, the young master of Wanshi Films, got along well with Yang Jie in "Longing" last time, and he also kept in touch with him often after that, so this time he also helped.At least in Wanshi Films, the film schedule of "Lu Xiaofeng" has reached 20.00%. According to Yang Jie's knowledge, all theaters together have an average of 15.00% film schedule.Apart from the fact that this result is not the peak period for movie releases, it is because of the scarcity of martial arts movies.

The small cinema where Yang Jie and the others came has a total of four studios, and there will be two screenings of "Lu Xiaofeng" tonight.

Each studio has [-] seats. The studio where Yang Jie is located has a good attendance rate of [-] to [-] percent due to the existence of pre-sales.It's a pretty good start.

The script of this movie, Yang Jie, was roughly based on the classic version of CCTV. Although it is somewhat different from the original, it is already the best version of the adaptation.

Of course, Yang Jie added some of the abbreviated and inappropriate parts.For example, the relationship between Hua Manlou and Shangguan Feiyan in the play, in order not to appear so sudden, Yang Jie specially added a scene for them.In the same way, the lines of Sun Xiuqing and Ximen Chuuxue were changed. When Yang Jie read it at the beginning, he felt that Ximen Chuuxue's character was cold to everyone. Even for his friends and lovers, although he would help, he would definitely There won't be that much emotional outpouring.

After some changes, it is logical to increase the original film duration to 120 minutes.

Originally, in order to save costs, Xu Jianmin planned to limit the film to 10 minutes.

It's just that Yang Jie felt that if some parts of the story were deleted, the story would be too sudden.Xu Jianmin was persuaded with reason and reason, and only then was the complete story presented.

"Not bad, very good, Lao Xu basically filmed Xiaojie's story." This is Huang Sen's evaluation after watching the movie.

"It's very good-looking, and the logic makes sense, but the process is quite complicated. I feel that I have been led by the nose by the screenwriter and director. It's very cool to watch, but it's just a waste of my brain. And it's a good martial arts movie, but the main line is true. The main thing is to investigate the case, will the audience like such a plot?" This is Wang Xiaodong's doubt.

"Martial arts drama detectives are not special. Since the story of the rivers and lakes is told, there must always be a main line to rely on. Love, hate, and hatred are all okay. Otherwise, if there are no incidents, what will be filmed, and only fighting will be too empty?" He spring road.

"Whether it's good or not depends on the box office feedback. When the box office comes out tomorrow, we will know the audience's attitude." Yang Jie laughed.

He felt that the film was well made, and it should be no problem to pay back.His requirements are not high, this is a series of film, as long as the word of mouth is established, and the audience relationship is established, a movie can make a lot of money.Of course, it would be even better if the first one was a big hit.

It was nine o'clock after watching the movie. Yang Jie and the others went to the night market next to them. After eating some snacks, it was past ten o'clock when they returned to the Mushroom House. It was late and there was no activity. They washed one by one and went to sleep down.

The next day, the box office on the first day was also released.

The results of "Lu Xiaofeng" are very good, it is not considered a big hit, but it is sure to make money.The box office figure of 100 million on the first day is already high in this period, temporarily suppressing the other seven films released at the same time, occupying the top spot.

However, the location is not very safe. No.2 is a cartoon that was released on June 3000st. It received [-] million box office in one week of its release. Now the stamina is a bit lacking, and only nearly [-] million box office is left every day.But whether there will be a follow-up outbreak depends on their respective reputations.

Competing for the top spot at the box office is really important for a movie. This is related to the screening rate, and theaters also need to make money.Only by making more films can more people see the film, and the box office will be higher in the future.But now for "Lu Xiaofeng", as long as it maintains the current trend for a week, it will definitely make a lot of money.

After all, the cost of this movie was not high, and there were no special effects shots, so it went to a big money-burning family.The total investment, including publicity and distribution costs, is 500 million. Judging from the box office on the first day, it only takes three days to make money.

The company that participated in the investment this time can be said to be a steady success. Of course, Yang Jie can also share a lot of it, and he should benefit the most.Although the copyright of the film is not in his hands, the copyright of the story is. If he wants to make a sequel, he still needs to nod.

With this first success, it is not surprising that Xu Jianmin called later.

"Hey, how come Director Xu has time to contact me now, shouldn't he be promoting everywhere?" Yang Jie said with a smile after connecting the phone.

"Talk about me, you, the screenwriter and creator, don't promote it, so it's up to us." Xu Jianmin said.

"Who said I didn't promote it anymore? I have promoted it on Weibo Douyin, and I have done many oral broadcasts in "Longing for Life". You should spread the word more."

"You didn't make any money?" Xu Jianmin and Yang Jie's way of getting along now is that they are friends with a big age difference. They are very familiar with each other through many contacts and calls, and they speak more casually.

"I earned it!" Yang Jie said with some lack of confidence: "But the screenwriter is behind the scenes, so there is no publicity that depends on the screenwriter, you should handle it yourself."

"Come on, it's about other screenwriters. You are a star, how can you be like everyone else."

"I'm lazy and don't like to move!" Yang Jie said lapily: "Director Xu, don't talk about anything else, if you have anything to say, hurry up, I'm still filming a show."

"I'm also recording a program to promote a movie. When I called you, someone asked when the next part of "Lu Xiaofeng" will be released?" Xu Jianmin smiled and said, "I can't decide on this. Can you, a great screenwriter, tell me?"

"Dizzy, then you don't say it earlier, just ask directly, it's long-winded." What Yang Jie didn't know was that Xu Jianmin was not only calling him in the program he was recording, but also turning on the long-awaited live broadcast. on the big screen.

At this time, Yang Jie was leaning back on the chair with his feet on the table, holding the dog in one hand and making a phone call in the other, all the audience watched.

"When will the script come out?" Xu Jianmin asked.

"Don't worry, Director Xu, don't forget that there is still a filming of "Swordsman" in hand, let's talk about it after finishing filming. Why can't we take on other films next year?"

"I've told you many times that my company is not the only one that can make movies. If there is a sequel, as long as there is a script, it will be easy to shoot according to the previous experience. In short, you should write the script quickly!"

"That's it, okay, I will write it out and send it to you when I have time. The next one will be called "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng: Before and After the Battle"!" Write it out for you, and you can make money without any effort, who wouldn't want it.

"Okay, let's do this first." Before hanging up the phone, Xu Jianmin couldn't help but said, "Xiaojie, your current posture is really carefree. Why don't you have to work today?"

Yang Jie asked strangely after hearing this: "Can you see me?"

"Haha, I don't know that I'm live broadcasting, not only I can see it, but the audience at the scene can also see your death!" Xu Jianmin laughed.

But even so, Yang Jie didn't care too much, and still maintained his previous posture: "Of course I know there is a live broadcast, but I didn't expect to watch our live broadcast on other programs."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.
