There are several posters pasted at the entrance of the cinema. The most eye-catching one is "On a Bright Day". This movie was released in September this year. With its huge reputation at the Venice Film Festival, it has already earned 40 million in the few months since its release. box office. After all, it was a movie that conquered foreigners, and this sense of national pride convinced everyone, even though more than 80% of the audience actually felt confused after entering the cinema.

The posters on the left and right are two tough guys, the muscular Schwarzenegger and Cheng Long.

"True Lies" starring Schwarzenegger was introduced to the mainland in the first half of this year. Once it was released, it detonated the Chinese film market. The scene of Schwarzenegger flying a fighter jet was a dimensionality reduction blow to domestic films, which made the audience For the first time, I truly understood what a blockbuster is.

The only thing that can compete with it is Cheng Long's "Red Zone". Cheng Long's various violent beatings of foreigners, dangerous moves such as jumping off buildings, and swaggering through the market on a hovercraft are also very enjoyable to watch.

The box office of these two movies in mainland China was 103 million and 95 million respectively. The box office of other movies was less than 50 million, which is a big gap.

The two movies were actually released half a year ago, but they were still playing in theaters for more than half a year.

Wu Yuchen looked at these two posters and felt a little emotional as a person who has experienced them. He knew that the mainland film market was about to change, and that it would then enter the era of Hollywood blockbusters.

In the coming year of 1996, eight of the top ten box office films in China will be occupied by American blockbusters. The eighth place "Kong Fansen" has a box office of 36 million. Everyone knows how it came about. Cheng Long's "Police Story 4: A Simple Mission" outshone 8 Hollywood blockbusters to win the box office championship, defending the last shred of dignity for Chinese films.

In the following years, only Cheng Long could compete with imported blockbusters, and he also created the Spring Festival stalls in mainland China, letting the mainland know the concept of New Year's films, and it was not at all the little steel gun Feng Pants that the media later boasted about.

Therefore, Brother Long has such influence through hard work. It is no wonder that when he arrived in the mainland, celebrities in the industry were willing to call him big brother. This is unmatched by all other Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

"Two copies of "Red Zone"."

Everyone knows why Wu Yuchen brought Jiang Qinqin to the cinema.

And look at the other movies written on the blackboard hanging next to the ticket window, such as "Brooks", "Red Cherry" and "Naked Blood", each one is more depressing than the last, which affects the mood too much.

After Wu Yuchen pulled Jiang Qinqin into the theater, he went straight to the back row. Movie tickets these days are not divided into seats. Whoever comes in first will get the seat first.

"Hey, why are you so far back?" Jiang Qinqin pulled Wu Yuchen.

"It's too loud and noisy in the front, but the viewing effect in the back is better!" Wu Yuchen was talking nonsense.

"Then there's no need to be so far back, why not be so far away..."

Although Jiang Qinqin said this, she still sat down with Wu Yuchen. After all, it was his birthday today. He was the birthday boy.

Wu Yuchen took a look and found that he had made the right choice. No matter how popular "Red Zone" was, it had been released for more than half a year. There were not many people in the entire hall, and the area around their corner was even more empty.

In fact, Jiang Qinqin has naturally watched such a popular movie as "Red Zone". However, Cheng Long's movies are quite enjoyable, so after the movie started, she quickly got into it and watched it with gusto.

But just when Jiang Qinqin was leaning on Wu Yuchen's shoulder and just immersed in the movie, she suddenly felt a big hand from her waist digging into her clothes. Her heart skipped a beat and her face turned red. She reached out to stop her and turned her head to try to stop her. Wu Yuchen, stop making trouble.

As a result, as soon as Jiang Qinqin raised her head, she saw the blazing heat in Wu Yuchen's eyes, which made her tremble in her heart. As soon as she opened her mouth slightly, it was blocked by his big mouth.

On Monday, Wu Yuchen walked into the classroom and sat down. Next to him, Cheng Er came over and asked, "How was your birthday date two days ago?"

"Very good." Wu Yuchen said perfunctorily, holding his chin.

"It's very good. Why do you look a little wilted?" Cheng Er was surprised.

Wu Yuchen waved his hand listlessly and did not continue to answer.

He remembered that in the cinema the day before yesterday, everything went smoothly at first. Later, he even pulled Jiang Qinqin directly from her seat to sit in his arms. In this dark theater with few people, Jiang Qinqin was made confused and obsessed by Wu Yuchen under the cover of the sound of the movie. Except for the last step, he succeeded in everything he could.

Listening to her whispering in his ear not to be here, Wu Yuchen was naturally overjoyed and felt that she had agreed.

As a result, after leaving the cinema, Jiang Qinqin was blown away by the biting winter wind. The heat in her body dropped a lot, her mind became clear, and she was unwilling to go to the hotel with Wu Yuchen. Although he gave Wu Yuchen several passionate kisses to make up for it in the end, it was hard to make up for his injured heart!

Thinking about it makes him depressed, what a difference!

It’s not that Wu Yuchen regretted not being in the cinema, but he felt that if he had been watching Big Ship and said “You jump, I jump!”, it would probably have been stable!

It’s just that there are so few domestically produced romance movies in this day and age. What a mistake!

During the second period, when he saw another message coming from the BP machine, Wu Yuchen hurriedly went out to find a public phone and called back.

"Hi, hello, I'm Wu Yuchen."

Director Gu's voice came from the other side of the phone:

"Xiao Wu, we just had a meeting to discuss your script "The Two of Us". We can give you a quota, but the funding is only 300,000. Can you film it?"

When Wu Yuchen heard this, he was happy at first, but then frowned when he heard that it was only 300,000. From 500,000 to 300,000, this is almost half cut in one go!

Wu Yuchen also knew that this was not something he could bargain with. If he said no, this opportunity would probably be gone.

He thought about it quickly in his mind, and then asked: "Director Gu, for 300,000 yuan, I want to shoot on 16mm film. Is it allowed by the movie channel?"

If you don’t have enough money, you can only lower your requirements.

"That's no problem. We won't show it in theaters. The 16mm film is enough to watch on TV."

"Then I can shoot it. Thank you Director Gu for fighting for this opportunity for me!"

"Haha, you're still good enough. Then this matter can be decided in the afternoon. You can come over and go through the process."

Wu Yuchen exchanged greetings with Director Gu for a few more words and hung up the phone.

The picture captured by 16mm film is definitely a little rougher than that of 35mm, but it can't be seen at all on TV. The main reason is that it is cheap, and the price is less than one-third of 35mm. However, 16mm film can create a sense of reality and nostalgia better than 35mm film, which is quite consistent with "The Two of Us".

And it doesn’t affect participating in film festivals. Many film festival award-winning films are actually shot on 16mm film. After all, many independent film directors don’t have much money.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed Mrs. Ruan. She helped him to connect. If there is any news, he should inform and thank her first.
