my time as a director

"Then what if someone is not single and still has to draw a lottery?"

"If you draw, you can draw, and there is no rule on what to do if you win the lottery. It's just a chance for single men and women to get to know each other. If there are a few couples that are right for you, it's a good deed."

"But what if a man insists on taking the girl's seat?"

"I'm not sick. That fool would do such a thing. It's not good to watch movies with girls. You have to watch movies with big men."

Tong Liya was right when she thought about it, how can there be such a boring person.

"Li Qian, you said it would be so romantic if some of the audience really became a couple."

A pair of strange men and women in a certain city who have never met before got together because of the movie she starred in. In the future, when the couple gets old, they will recall the situation of that day and the movie they starred in.

It feels especially great to be a witness between teams of lovers.

Thinking of this, Tong Liya couldn't wait to see the situation after the movie was released, her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

"That's what I thought. It's a great thing, old age." Li Qian laughed.

If it goes so smoothly, then cohabitation beyond time and space will be famous in film history.

It's just that not every single couple is the right age. What if a boy in his early twenties goes out with an aunt in his 30s, how embarrassing it would be.

Chapter 197

November is another New Year celebration.

At the end of October, due to the listing of Huayang Media, the market value was nearly 10 billion, creating a group of multi-millionaires, and according to the current stock price, Ma Xiaogang and Huang Xiaoming's net worth directly exceeded [-] million.

This incident became the biggest news in the entertainment industry at the beginning of November. The listing of Huayang Media dominated the headlines of entertainment news for many days.

But as time goes by, especially Cohabitation in Time and Space produced by Li Qian, and the costume blockbuster Mulan starring Zhao Wei and Chen Kun are about to be released, entertainment news is also beginning to focus on these two movies, let alone December There's another blockbuster.

Nearly ten popular movies have started vigorous promotions, hoping to grab a big piece of cake during the hot period of the Lunar New Year file.

Selected to be released during the Lunar New Year, especially blockbuster movies, that is because you have enough confidence in yourself.

Not to mention Three Guns Surprise and October Besieged, Feng Yun 2 and Assassin's Mausoleum are also ambitious.

Needless to say Fengyun 2, the TV series of the same name in 02 was a smash hit, so it was naturally popular.

Jay Chou and Cheng Daoming starred in Assassination, and the slam dunks starring Jay Chou had exceeded [-] million, and all of them were Jay Chou's monoclonal antibody.

Not focusing on directors, the box office exceeded [-] million. Before that, there was only Huo Yuanjia starring Li Lianjie.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Jay Chou carried the box office.

This time it is still a big production, Chen Daoming and the famous Lin Zhiling joined in, no matter how you look at it, it is a big seller.

Of course, there is also the perfect world, which has been scheduled to be released on December 12th, as the first seed player to be released in December.

Every blockbuster has its own selling point, and every producer and distributor also has its own confidence.

However, other companies are still very concerned about Cohabitation in Time and Space and Hua Mulan, which will lead the way in November.

After all, this is also the first film released by the new distribution company co-founded by Li Qian.

As the most direct opponent, Yu Dong, one of the publishers and investors of Hua Mulan, pays special attention to the announcement of cohabitation in time and space.

"A romance movie has something to do with Singles' Day. Without Guangxian, I don't think he can stand up as a brand!"

Listening to Zhang Hao, the distribution director, talking about the recent series of announcements about cohabitation in time and space, Yu Dong was disapproving.

"The other party's propaganda is really mediocre. Except for the four TV stations in Jiangning, Hubei, Henan, and Western Sichuan, they almost gave up the promotion channel of TV stations and focused on the Internet. It is very lively on the Internet."

Zhang Hao also shook his head, obviously not approving this mainly online propaganda method.

Apart from the posters in various places offline, there is almost no other publicity.

"but."

Zhang Hao went on to report, "There are no new films released in the first half of November. I contacted various theaters and roughly estimated that on the day of the release on the 11th, Cohabitation in Time and Space should be able to get about 11 films."

November has always been relatively deserted, sandwiched between the Lunar New Year and the National Day, and has always been small and medium-sized budgets with certain selling points, but if you go to the Lunar New Year stalls, it is easy to become cannon fodder for film competition.

If it hadn't been for the release of Siege in December and October, Yu Dong would have planned to release Mulan in December.

Sufficient film schedule, coupled with Li Qian's box office appeal, are indeed very favorable conditions.

Of course, this is not what Yu Dong wants to see. After all, Mulan will be released on the 20th, which is 8 days late.

Originally, Yu Dong planned to release it at the end of November, but the Siege of October will be on December 11, 12 days later, so the impact will not be great.

But Li Qian's new film Perfect World will be released on December 12th.

Although he is very upset that Li Qian is unwilling to promote Stubborn Carrot during the summer vacation, he has to admit that Li Qian, who has only made two movies in theaters, has become a director second only to Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang in domestic box office appeal.

In terms of strategy, we still need to pay attention to the opponent.

but.

Looking at all the information about this movie, a senior directing student is still a woman.

The male lead, Lei Jiayin, has only starred in one TV show, and has never even played an important role in any film and television drama. He belongs to the kind of small actor who immediately pulls ten people on the street, and no one knows him.

As for Tong Liya, who has just graduated from Chinese opera for a year, she has filmed quite a few TV dramas, but they are all movies with average ratings, and they are not the protagonists yet.

It seems that she is still Li Qian's undisclosed girlfriend.

With this lineup, Yu Dong could tell with his eyes closed that there was no chance of being a blockbuster.

Although Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and Yang Qing were also new directors before, Jaws: Vengeance is a sequel, 127 hours of theme catches people and Deng Chao is also a first-line star.

Nightclubs are the most popular type of comedy in low-cost movies. Xu Zheng's comedy skills can be seen in his previous film and television dramas.

And cohabitation in time and space, a sci-fi romance movie.

You don't need to think about it, it's a romance film dressed in science fiction.

It would be strange for a senior student to be able to make sci-fi films. If this is the case, then Yu Dong's more than ten years of experience in the industry is not in vain.

As for romance movies, there is no market at all in China. No matter if it is Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, or Li Binbin, none of the romance movies are popular, and even several million box office is the norm.

The only selling point is that Li Qian supervised the production, and there are a lot of films in the early stage of the release, which can make a little money at the box office.

Even with the golden signboard of Li Qian, Yu Dong didn't take cohabitation beyond time and space at all.

He even laughed and said, "I guess, this is what Li Qian took to praise his girlfriend."
