Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 386 Close combat
The figure flashed.

Li Luo jumped onto the leather sofa.

"Bang~"

The cork at the mouth of the bottle popped open, and as he shook the bottle vigorously with his arms, the white foam in the champagne bottle surged out and sprayed wildly on everyone amid screams.

Crazy Stone, box office of 7 million on the first day.

That's it.

It's already an astonishing number.

Now "Raging Fire" has directly exceeded 1,000 and reached 12 million.

It's not just as simple as the box office being 5 million higher. The most important thing is that it achieved this number under the pressure of competition from four parties, which means that the first victory in the box office war has been won by "Raging Fire".

The lights are bright and the aroma of wine is everywhere.

Smiley face.

Everyone who was sprayed with the champagne in Li Luo's hand was ecstatic, and they hugged each other excitedly.

For many people.

Now the situation is repeating itself as it was in Cannes.

You will be greeted with flowers, applause, praise, and the joy of success.

The noise, which almost blew the ceiling off, swept out from the door and rolled down the huge staircase, bringing smiles to everyone wherever it went. Every employee in the company cheered excitedly.

The sound of a cork popping off.

Keep ringing.

The champagnes brought by the others were opened one after another, and sprayed wildly towards Li Luo who was standing on the sofa amid cheers.

Champagne was poured from all directions.

In an instant, Li Luo was soaked like a drowned chicken.

But he didn't care at all. He laughed and took a big gulp of the huge bottle of wine in his hand. Then he jumped off the sofa again to share the taste of success with everyone in the company and a group of partners.

at the same time.

There was also a commotion inside Oriental Entertainment’s Beijing office.

Everyone clapped their hands and fist-bumped excitedly.

Celebrate the joy of success with cheers.

More than six million on the first day!

For the creative team of "Flash Point", it is also an achievement worth celebrating. Zhen Ziluan was so excited that he punched the air repeatedly. This is a better box office result than last year's "Fighter to the Stars".

And it’s different than it was then.

This movie can be said to carry the box office on its own.

The more than 6 million sales prove its box office success and also prove that the MMA fighting style is definitely the right way.

It can continue to flourish!

If he can get more than 60 million at the box office next time, he will be able to shine again in the film industry.

Film in Cannes.

The copyright was also sold for millions of dollars.

Combined with the achievements across the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, the film will be able to make steady profits.

As long as you can make money.

After that, I won’t have to worry about not having any roles to play!

When Zhen Ziluan thought of this, he excitedly hugged all the creators one after another, and clapped their backs loudly: "I won't say anything more, Gan Wan's meal is included in my count, thank you all for your hard work!"

"Yes~"

He thought of something, and looked at Huang Baiming, who had just hung up the phone, excitedly and nervously: "Boss, how much did "Raging Fire" sell?"

When this was said, people including Ye Weixin and Gu Tianle were affected.

They all looked at Huang Baiming.

In fact, no matter which company it is, they all regard Li Luo as their number one competitor in his new work.

no way.

The results at Cannes were too impressive.

Moreover, during this period of roadshow promotion, Li Luo used every possible means to firmly lock the media's attention on him, the kind that could not be pulled away, so everyone was very curious about his achievements.

I know it should be more than mine, but I don’t know how much more.

This is what they are concerned about.

"One thousand and two."

Huang Baiming didn't mind putting some pressure on them and simply told them the first day box office of "Raging Fire".

In the conference room.

Suddenly it became quiet.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I didn't expect there would be so many more!
"Clap clap clap."

In a conference room of another hotel in Beijing, the crisp sound of Nicholas Tse clapping his hands echoed in every corner, and he stopped only when the silent atmosphere was shattered.

"Cheer up, everyone!"

Nicholas Tse slammed his fist on the table again and said excitedly to the crew members: "This is only the first day, it doesn't mean anything."

"In terms of film scheduling, Fury has a huge advantage over us."

"It's only natural that you're better than us."

"boom!"

Another punch landed fiercely, and the cool and handsome young man continued to boost everyone's spirits: "But it doesn't mean that you are always better than us. The next step is to truly witness the reputation of the movie."

“That’s when we overtook the results.”

"We must continue to promote these days and we must not stop!"

Some people are excited.

Some people are extremely perfunctory.

The first-day box office of just over five million wasn't bad, and the applause was still quite enthusiastic.

And in another place.

Complete silence.

The first-day box office of over 2 million made the director of "Heaven's Mouth" Chen Yili's scalp tingle. He never expected that the first report card he handed in would have such a number, a number that looked extremely glaring.

"It would be nice if word of mouth spreads today."

Producer Zhang Jiazhen looked at the report in front of him with a serious expression, tapping the table with his fingers: "In the final analysis, it is still a problem. Our schedule for "Tian Tang Kou" is too small, the lowest among the same period!"

"I think we have to find a way to put some pressure on the theaters."

"Yeah."

Chen Yili grasped at a life-saving straw. He pointed at the report and signaled to the production representative: "No matter which theater chain it is, the screening schedule for "Heaven's Mouth" is the least. I admit that I am a new director."

"But they are really bullying people by doing this!"

At this moment.

No one will think that they took bad photos.

It's not just the director. In fact, the actors and producers will not subconsciously think that the movie they made is a bad one.

The stakes are simply too high.

Only when they get rid of the emotions of being in power can they face their own works squarely.

but.

This does not include critics and audiences.

As the premiere day came to an end, while the major crews were either excited or conflicted, various formal and informal film reviews were freshly published in newspapers and on the Internet, continuing to lead the film-watching trend.

'Regarding the combination of Ye Weixin and Zhen Ziluan, I have a few words to say.'

'This is already their second joint work.'

'I have no doubts about whether they can deliver a good fight scene, but I want to watch a movie, not a series of intense fights.'

"As a director, can't Director Ye control Zhen Ziluan?"

"Wenxi. " "Where is it?"

"Li Bingbing is such a good actor, but she has once again become a vase in a co-production. Xu Qing's role is so weak that I don't even know what she is doing in it. Sometimes I don't even realize she exists."

'Are mainland actors only allowed to play the role of vases?'

'Fan Bingbing used "The Disciple", and Li Luo also used "SPL" and "Raging Fire" to prove that this is not the case! '

'Just talking about the action scenes.'

'If the full score is 10, I would give him 9 points.'

'Except for the fact that Zhen Zilan used a sniper rifle as a submachine gun, and the villains were still alive and kicking after being sniped, there were basically no major problems. The fighting style was quite novel and immersive.'

' But as a film. "

"The overall effect of Flash Point can only be said to be above the passing line."

'Explosions, fighting, gun battles, director Benny Chan took great pains to present us with a visual feast, and we can see how much effort went into the film.'

'Nicholas Tse really worked hard in this movie.'

'to be honest.'

'He has more of a Van Long vibe than Jaycee Chan.'

'But why do I always feel like I'm on Wu Jing's side? I really hope he kills all three protagonists. This is the first time I've ever hoped that a movie villain would win.'

'Another thing, working hard doesn't mean a good show.'

"Nicholas Tse's performance was so exaggerated that I was worried that his saliva would splash out of the screen."

'Wu Jing gave me a surprise.'

'Compared to the previous childish performance, I didn't expect this Tai Chi master to be able to give such a sinister performance. Perhaps he can dig deeper into the villain role, which may be a way! '

'The story of "Heaven's Mouth" is clichéd, the performances are lackluster, the lighting is not sophisticated, only the cold colors are close to the content, the rest are inferior.'

"The gunfight effects in it made me think I was back in the 1970s and 1980s."

'Can it get any worse?'

'Can! ’

'But what I want to say is that we should give the Best Editing Award at the Academy Awards next year to the guy who edited the trailer for "Heaven's Gate". It's not easy to edit a trailer for a bad movie so well.'

'Best debut film, I want to give it to "Rage"!!!'

"Of course, I don't need to present the award for "Raging Fire". The Cannes Film Festival has already awarded the Golden Camera to Li Luo. After watching the premiere yesterday, I think he deserves it."

'The whole movie is very well done and maintains a very tight pace throughout.'

'It's not just fighting for the sake of fighting!'

"Just as advertised, this is a way of salvation for two people."

'The anticipation was building from the moment the little girl was kidnapped to the end, and the entire viewing process was filled with strong anticipation. The acting skills of all the actors were excellent, even the young actors.'

'The moment when the uncle finally pointed the gun at his own head.'

'The red eyes, filled with despair, made the hairs on my arms stand up. Li Luo stood firmly in the movie like a stabilizing force, switching between action scenes and literary scenes with ease.'

'As expected of a professional actor.'

"There is no sense of disconnection between the civil and military scenes. Everything is just right."

'In terms of action, Li Luo is simply awesome! '

'The gunfights that took place in a split second, the knife duels that were on the brink of life and death, and the clean elimination of those minions were handled without any delay.'

'There are also many exciting scenes such as jumping off a building and chasing each other.'

'I highly recommend this movie! '

The vast number of ordinary audiences who were attracted to the cinema by the word-of-mouth of the preview did not care what the film company thought. All kinds of reviews were posted online, praising those who deserved praise and criticizing those who deserved criticism.

These extremely real comments quickly influenced more audiences.

Further.

Directly affects the box office performance.

In order to allow myself to continue on this path, or to walk even more brilliantly.

The producers and creative teams are also continuing to promote the film.

With good grades.

Want to widen the gap.

Poor grades.

Want to turn the tables.

Various variety shows, entertainment reports, and interviews emerge in an endless stream, and they also want to influence movie box office in their own way.

Some of them are as steady as a rock, while others take an unconventional approach.

"thank you all."

Just after finishing the publicity interview, Chen Yili said excitedly to the media: "In fact, I have noticed some comments online. These are very unfair comments about "Heaven's Mouth"."

"Some of our peers should focus on the quality of their films instead of always trying to discredit their competitors!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the reporters gasped.

Then he became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

When movies with the same theme are released in the same period, the competition is always fierce.

This not only concerns the future of the main creative staff, but also the huge amount of money invested by the producers behind the scenes. If the box office results are a disastrous failure, it is not something that can be dealt with by drinking three cups of wine as a punishment.

If they don't have a close relationship behind the scenes, or if they are really afraid of the strength of their competitors.

Otherwise, when the knife comes, it will be ruthless.

There was no further action at this time.

After this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to move even if I want to!

Now that there are four companies competing against each other, reporters have been looking forward to this happening, but they did not expect that the close combat would start on the second day of the release.

"Director Chen."

A nosy reporter quickly passed the microphone forward and excitedly fanned the flames, "I think some of the online reviews of "Heaven's Mouth" are indeed biased, and your film has the least screenings, right?"

This kind of information.

There is no need to investigate at all.

Moreover, the reporter can confirm 100% that every director will be very particular about the screening schedule of the film.

It is absolutely a sure-fire way to ignite a fire in this area!

"That's right!"

This sentence really touched Chen Yili's heart. He blurted out without thinking: "Everyone knows that I am a complete newcomer in this industry. I only know how to make good movies."

"It's not as good as some crews, who have been jumping up and down since the beginning of the roadshow, using all kinds of tricks to attract theaters to increase the screening schedule."

"Take this opportunity."

"I would like to appeal to the cinema chains, hoping that they can schedule more screenings for "Heaven's Mouth" so that the audience can pay attention to the real quality films. Not only the films that are shortlisted for international film festivals are good films."

"Our market also needs healthy competition."

As soon as Chen Yili finished speaking, the eyes of the reporters at the scene suddenly lit up.

Good guy.

He actually fired at that troublemaker!
Sun Honglei, who was standing behind the director with a smile on his face, had a slight twitch in the corner of his eyes. He subconsciously dodged to the side and was out of the camera's coverage in just one second.

What a joke.

I'm not the lead actor, so I don't have to take responsibility for the box office failure.

Why get into that kind of trouble!

Sun Honglei dodged behind Li Xiaolu in two or three steps. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes as he looked at the director. It was obvious that this Chinese-American director had not done his homework well.

Among the three directors competing on the same stage.

His surname is Li.

He is indeed the youngest.

But if you think the other party is the easiest to bully, then
Think of this.

Sun Honglei took another step back!
It was at this moment that the reporters excitedly pressed the shutter buttons frantically, and the light like snowflakes swept towards Chen Yili, illuminating his indignant expression brightly.
