You Made Me a Superstar - Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Box Office (The Third Supplement)

“I want to see Huaxing’s detailed script filing…”

“I’m afraid not. These are internal documents. Without the permission of Director Zhou, others cannot read them. Director Cao, you know the rules.”

“Can you have a general look?”

“Neither.”

After the premiere of    “Sniper Phone Booth”, An Xiao was reading the comments.

At first, her heart was unavoidable.

After all, the filming time of the film was too short, the editing time was too short, and it was a “privileged” direct train. Although she personally reviewed the original film, the film was indeed very attractive, but she was still not sure about the market. What is the reception to this film?

However, when more than 70% of the ratings on Douban were positive, and several movie critics gave high marks, An Xiao had a bottom line.

Even if the box office won’t explode, it won’t be scolded in the eleventh gear, and it’s generally above the excellent line…

An Xiao looked up at Cao Bangguo, who came in. After learning about Cao Bangguo’s intention, An Xiao was not surprised, but appeared calmer than ever before.

The former Huaxia Directors Association was in a dark age where only one hand covered the sky, it sucked!

This is the current situation that An Xiao saw. Later, Zhou Yang entered this circle and turned the circle upside down, which naturally harmed the interests of these directors.

They were bound together, and together they wanted to step on Zhou Yang, and even tried to make her compromise in various ways…

Now I can’t help it anymore, and I’m frightened by Zhou Yang’s amazing screenwriting ability, I start to feel uneasy, I want to read the script and then decide what to do next…

How can there be such a good thing in this world?

“Deputy An, the internal struggles in the Huaxia film circle will only make people outside laugh at it. There are too many Hollywood movies in the second half of the year. Intellectually, I personally think that the directors of Huaxia should unite… I actually persuaded President Feng, if it is possible If so, I am willing to be the mediator…” After Cao Bangguo heard An Xiao’s refusal, his face was a little overwhelmed, but he still had a smile on his face, and began to talk to An Xiao gently about some peacemaker.

“Surely we should unite…” An Xiao nodded, agreeing with Cao Bangguo’s words, but made no other response.

Cao Bangguo observed An Xiao’s expression, and when he saw that there was no change in An Xiao’s face at all, and even he couldn’t see what An Xiao was thinking, he finally shook his head: “President Feng, they really did a good job before. It’s irrational, but I hope you can understand us. After all, everyone has been in this circle for so many years, witnessed the rise and fall of the Xiangjiang era, and contributed a lot of their own strength to this era. When you see your rights Being deprived will naturally feel bad in my heart…”

“But unfortunately, the bet was lost.” An Xiao shook his head.

“The matter of the bet can be negotiated, and this is only a verbal bet, and there is no substantive…”

“Director Zhou has gone from a movie without any support to the present step by step. He has put in so much hard work, how much suffering and grievance he has suffered for this… If he lost today, would you win?” An Xiao’s calm voice suddenly had a hint of excitement, but after realizing that he seemed to have some personal emotions, he resumed his calm appearance: “If he loses, I’m afraid he can only be willing to admit defeat.”

“Individual and collective, naturally…”

“What if the achievements made by individuals can catch up with the so-called “collective” of you?”

“An Shouke, I hope you don’t look at Director Zhou with tinted glasses, and I hope you can think about us…”

“I’ve always looked at the whole thing as a bystander.”

“…”

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn.

Cao Bangguo actually felt a sense of coldness and chill.

He frowned, but in the end he couldn’t say anything.

He never dreamed that they would be stuck by a small deputy.

But this sub-division got serious, so they couldn’t do anything about it.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed: “We need to go down a step and have a good chat. Even if the script of Zhou Yang’s films is excellent, it may not be really a hit, right? I can read the book. Just a little comment. Actually, Deputy An, as you know, I have no substantial conflict with Zhou Yang. The ones who really conflict with him are Chen Kai and others. In fact, I have always admired him. I wanted to have a good chat with him about movies, but he never gave me a chance to chat about movies…”

“I don’t know what steps are, I only know what I should do. As for… Director Cao, the script, I really can’t show you… If it’s about the script, then Director Cao, please come back first. …”

“Then I’ll talk to Xu Chu…”

“Um.”

After seeing An Xiao’s indifferent expression, Cao Bangguo began to show a hint of coldness on his face.

He has been in the business for so many years, even Xu Kangnian is polite to him, but now he has encountered An Xiao, an iron nail, which makes him both angry and helpless.

Finally he stood up, turned and left the office without looking back.

An Xiao didn’t say anything after watching Cao Bangguo leave, just lowered her head and continued to read the comments of “Sniper Phone Booth”.

During the chat just now, “Sniper Phone Booth” has hundreds of more movie reviews. At the same time, the popularity of “Sniper Phone Booth” has continued to rise, and the average score has increased from 8.8 to 8.9.

After watching for a while, his phone rang.

The call was from Xu Kangnian.

After she answered the phone, she walked out of the office door and found a few more people in the office.

………………

afternoon.

Zhou Yilin chatted with Django for a while about the filming of “Liao Zhai Painted Skin”, and then drank tea in his office leisurely.

The assistant    told him something about “Sniper Phone Booth” from time to time.

The filming volume of “Sniper Phone Booth” is actually not too much, but the attendance rate after the premiere is very amazing. After almost every show, the average attendance rate is more than 78%.

This is actually quite an astonishing statistic, especially for a small budget film that only took three days to shoot…

“Director Cao hit a snag in the relevant department? An Xiao won’t give in an inch, and won’t you show the movie script?”

“normal…”

The assistant    also chatted with him about the Chinese film industry.

After the release of “Sniper Phone Booth”, many directors were naturally anxious when they saw that the actual word of mouth did not collapse, but it was very likely to become an excellent high-scoring work.

They were supposed to see a joke, but as a result, they found themselves turned into a joke.

The most anxious is the director Zhao Fang, who has already started to make trouble in the director circle.

In the National Day file, the location of “Sniper Phone Booth” was originally his movie “Our Country”. It was a good idea. When “Sniper Phone Booth” was a joke and the word of mouth collapsed, the theater party would naturally follow along to the relevant departments to have a good chat. The film arrangement puts pressure on the relevant departments, and these directors will also boycott “Sniper Phone Booth” in major media together, and finally let “Our Country” go to put out the fire.

But in fact it did not go as they expected.

Instead…

“According to the latest budget, “Sniper Phone Booth”, which was thought to be a small number of films, has now received an astonishing box office of 9 million… Colleagues in the data department think that the film’s premiere box office can exceed 2,000 nights. How much? , depends on the final result, although it is National Day file, but it is the box office data obtained under the strangulation of “Men in Black”, “Jaws” and other movies…”

Assistant    continued to chat with Zhou Yilin about the data of “Sniper Phone Booth”.

“It seems that “Our Country” is going to replace “Sniper Phone Booth”. It’s very difficult to release it as a firefighter. This time, it’s really a mess…” When Zhou Yilin heard the data reported by his assistant, he nodded subconsciously. Then he looked out the window.

“Sniper Phone Booth” in all aspects and the current attendance rate, it is definitely above the excellent line, and movies above the pass line will not be arbitrarily removed by the theater, let alone the movies of the excellent line.

It is really difficult for “Our Country” to be released on “Sniper Phone Booth”.

Moreover, even No. 2 will not work. No. 2 is the film “The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years”. The movie originally planned to be released on No. 2 is “Sword God” directed by Shen Jinsong. If the movie “The Youth We Chased Together” is still above the pass line, I’m afraid “Sword God” will not be able to be released in sequence…

As for No. 3, No. 3 arranged a Hollywood superhero movie “Lizardman”. The competition for the eleventh gear is too fierce. Although the relevant department said that the domestic film protection month has been cancelled, there is a vague possibility that “Lizardman” ” and “Jaws” to compete for the box office and fight each other, while other domestic films are earning box office steadily and steadily.

It can be seen from the scheduled film arrangement of “Lizardman”, which is basically a choice between “Jaws”…

“Did Shen Jinsong also go to the relevant department?”

“Go, but it seems that only Cao Bangguo is looking for An Xiao… But it doesn’t seem to be going well. Xu Kangnian has nothing to do with An Xiao. This time An Xiao seems to be determined to protect Zhou Yang.”

“The couple, it’s weird if they don’t maintain it. It’s okay, let them make a fuss, we’ll just watch the fun…”

“By the way, Director Zhou, won’t you help them? You seem to be in the same camp, right?”

“Don’t worry, what’s the hurry now… Let’s talk about it when they come up to us. You can’t be too proactive on an errand like a peacemaker…” After Zhou Yilin heard the assistant’s puzzled expression, he shook his head with a smile.

The same camp?

He doesn’t even know which faction he belongs to now.

The next time was very pleasant for Zhou Yilin. I read reviews, watched movies, and gave instructions to silly boy Django by phone from time to time.

Waiting until the early morning of October 2nd, when Zhou Yilin was lying in bed ready to take a good sleep, he suddenly received a call.

“Director Zhou, it’s this time, you still have time to sleep?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Sniper Cinema’s premiere box office of 25 million… It’s not a good sign.”

“so tall?”

“Director Zhou, you used to have a lot of contact with An Xiao. Although I heard that there was some conflict, but… Director Zhou, come over and have an emergency meeting, we are too stiff with An Xiao…”

“Ah, so late…”

“The water is rushing to the heels, what are you thinking… Do you really plan to let Zhou Yang devour all our shares? He is not afraid of dying himself!”

“…”

The call was from Shen Jinsong…

On the other end of the phone, Shen Jinsong’s tone seemed a little cold, revealing a hint of anxiety.

Zhou Yilin on the phone followed by scolding Zhou Yang is not a thing, but his face smiled brighter, like a flower: “If my old face can be used, why don’t I try to communicate?”
