my time as a director

"Then delete the close-ups and flashbacks of the other people before they died, and just keep three people, one black, one white, and one yellow." Wu Jing also accepted Li Qian's proposal.

The two chatted for more than three hours in the computer room about the scenes of the movie, and made some deletions and changes in the details. In the end, the 110-minute film was cut to 103 minutes, and the deletion of 7 minutes was irrelevant and a bit long-winded. shot.

100 minutes is normal.

"Then Director Li, when is the right time for our film to be released?" Wu Jing asked the release date again.

"July is coming soon, and the beginning of August is too rushed. You haven't finished the later period, and the summer vacation will be over half a month later. Let's take the National Day file at the end of September. Now the market for the seven-day National Day holiday is not small."

Li Qian thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, it seems that the Xi Fenglie you played before is also on the National Day file?"

"Xi Fenglie notified me that it is the end of October."

Xifenglie was invested and distributed by Huayang, and was directed by Uncle Gao Yu, one of Fengsheng's directors. Another blockbuster film on National Day, Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire, was also produced by Huayang, so it was impossible to release it together.

"That's no problem. Don't worry about the two movies you acted in together. The National Day file is Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire. With the current market, there is no problem in accommodating two blockbuster movies at the same time."

"Looks like Fist of Fist: Chen Zhen and Sword Rain are also released on National Day, right?"

"These two films are irrelevant, don't worry about it, it's just Di Renjie, but we are still under a lot of pressure when Old Freak Xu returns to martial arts films."

These words made Wu Jing not know what to say. Li Qian lightly ignored Fist of the Fury: Chen Zhen starring Donnie Yen, and Jian Yu directed by Wu Yusen.

Moreover, listening to this, my PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds can compete with Xu Ke's martial arts movies.

Xu Ke's martial arts films are basically a banner of Hua Guo's martial arts films, not to mention Liu Tianwang joined in.

Li Qian smiled, "Brother Jing, don't underestimate your own movie. Although action movies are a niche audience, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is completely different from those Xiangjiang action movies. The fighting mechanism of the behind-the-scenes organization in the movie, It’s very attractive to the audience.”

Even if Li Qian said so, and his fame added, Wu Jing still didn't have much confidence.

Even if Xu Ke's two romance films didn't have high box office, they were still Xu Ke, not to mention that Wu Jing had filmed The Legend of Shushan under him in his early years.

Filming under other people's hands is like meeting a high school head teacher after graduating from university. Even if you are a big man, a head taller than the aging head teacher, and you can hit two with one hand, you can't help but feel a little embarrassed. Be obedient.

It’s just that apart from the National Day holiday, there is no good time to come. The summer vacation can’t catch up, and the Lunar New Year holiday has already been arranged, so we can’t wait until next year.

In this way, the schedule has been finalized, and the later stage of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has to continue, and there are only three months left before the release at the end of September.

.......

Li Qian then returned to the Huairou film and television base to continue filming I Am Legend, and with the arrival of July, the summer war has officially started.

On July 4000st, King of Guns starring Gu Tianle and Wu Yanzu took the lead. It won a high box office of [-] million in four days in the first weekend, making a good start for the summer season.

The word of mouth is good, and it got 4500 million in the second week, and the total box office in eleven days was as high as 8500 million.

Breaking through [-] million is certain. There is a Hong Kong film breaking [-] million, but it seems that there are few people who promote the revival of Hong Kong films. This film is still much worse than the previous eavesdropping.

On the 2nd, the comedy movie Xi You Ji starring Xu Zheng, Huang Yi, and Happy Family was released, and it earned 650 million in three days.

However, it got 1200 million in the second week, and the box office soared.

But the exact opposite of the box office, word of mouth... no word of mouth, only curses.

It's just a fun movie, just like the Three Smiles: Talented Scholars and Beautiful Ladies starring Guo Deguang, all kinds of vulgarity and spoofs.

At that time, a film critic asked Guo Deguang, did he take the movie seriously?

As a result, the famous cross talk actor who had just gained the identity of a director replied, "It really doesn't matter much" without even thinking about it.

If you don't take movies seriously, what good movies can you make?

As the film market is getting better and better, all kinds of cross talk circles, host circles, and other circles have come to exaggerate and make movies to make money, and they all aim at comedy.

But comedies are not easy to shoot, let alone tears when laughing, at least laugh without embarrassment.

Even professional film critics don't want to complain about the film Xi You Ji. A film critic who took his children to watch the film directly wrote, "At the beginning, the children watched it with gusto.

; In the middle, the child began to be less fussy; at the end, the child fell asleep. "

The best bad movie of the year has a strong contender.

There are quite a few movies in the summer season, and Tang Bohu Spotting Autumn Fragrance starring Huang Xiaoming earned 2 million at the box office in 4000 days.

He has acted in a TV drama version before, all kinds of exaggerated and embarrassing performances. I really don't know where he got the courage to act in the movie version again.

The courage Liang Jingru gave?

The acting skills that he performed well in the wind just now seemed to be thrown into the sewer by Huang Xiaoming all of a sudden.

On the 22nd, the most important summer movie, the disaster blockbuster Tangshan Earthquake directed by Ma Xiaogang, was released.

As an emotional film, Huayang has always promoted it under the name of a disaster blockbuster when promoting it.

This kind of subject matter, if it is stated that it is an emotional film, it may be a bit dissuading, but the disaster blockbuster is different. It just became popular in 2012, and it also brought out the rumor of the end of the world in 2012.

3620 million on the first day, surpassing Avatar's 2700 million on the first day, and created a new first-day box office record in mainland movie history.

Undoubtedly a blast!

In the four days of the first weekend, it got a super high box office of 1.9 million, almost [-] million in four days.

The stock of Huayang Media rose sharply, and Ma Xiaogang was in high spirits.

However, a lot of voices began to question the authenticity of the box office. After all, Huayang has a criminal record. The first day of rumors was less than 700 million, but the media reported it as 1100 million.

But Ma Xiaogang was so angry that no movie was released last year, but this year it became a blockbuster, leaving Zhang Yimou, Wu Yusen, and Li Qian far behind. It was the only one at the box office, but it was questioned by so many people.

Others sold it so well that no one questioned it, so many people scolded him for making a fake. Is there any reason to discriminate against him?

The angry Ma Xiaogang immediately posted a long message on Weibo.

"Some people deliberately determined that Tang's box office was a false report on the first day, and they thought it was impossible to surpass Avatar on the first day. Our elites were afraid that they would lose face to the Americans.

how can that be possible?It must be fake!I'm really sorry for hurting your heart. The 3620 million on the first day is true, it will only be low and not high, because the bragging has to be taxed, the nation has suffered setbacks, and has developed a sense of inferiority. What about the oppressed slaves? "

From these words, it can be seen that Ma Xiaogang must have written it himself, and he was really angry.

Huayang Media also issued the original box office receipt. According to the data, the film is 1713 million, the digital is 2370 million, and the IMAX is 82. The total is 4166 million, which is more than the announced 3620 million.

But, it's fake, it must be fake!

Still being questioned.

Ma Xiaogang posted three more microblogs in a row, and even added a poem by a great man, Man Jianghong—and Comrade Guo Moluo, "The four seas are churning, the clouds and water are furious, and the five continents are shaking with wind and thunder. We must wipe out all harmful insects, and we will be invincible." "Such language.

But it’s useless, what should be questioned is still questioned. On various forums, many people analyzed and found out various reasons, and took out photos of a remote movie theater in broad daylight with little traffic to prove that the box office was faked.
