Seeing Su Cheng’s relaxed tone.
Zhang Yimou was relieved and said gratefully:”Thank you, Mr. Su, for your help this time.”
Su Cheng smiled and said:”Director Zhang, next time you make a movie, don’t forget us Xiancheng Films.”
The two exchanged a few more polite words.
Then they hung up the phone.
Gulinaza on the side rubbed her knees. Xinjiang was already very cold at this time. Just now, in pursuit of excitement, she accepted hundreds of millions of rewards in the car, which made her very cold.
Seeing this, Su Cheng turned on the air conditioner to the maximum and asked her,”Are you feeling better?”
Nazha smiled sweetly,”As long as my brother is happy, it’s okay, I can handle it.”
“You~”
Su Cheng scratched her nose lovingly.
Among all his women,
Naza was the most docile and well-behaved.
Perhaps it was related to the fact that Su Cheng saved her father’s life.
Naza asked curiously,”Was it Director Zhang Yimou who called just now?”
“Um”
“He asked you to borrow money?” Su Cheng did not lower the volume deliberately when he was talking on the phone , so Na Zha who was sitting in the passenger seat heard it vaguely.
Su Cheng asked back,”From your tone, are you surprised?” Na Zha nodded honestly,”Director Zhang, National Master, he would be short of money? It’s amazing!
” Su Cheng smiled,”Do you believe it? On the rich list, the top billionaires with a net worth of tens of billions, if asked to pay 100 million in cash, he would not be able to do it casually? The richer a person is, the more areas he invests in, and the less cash he has on hand.
” Na Zha nodded as if he understood,”I think that Director Zhang has been in the entertainment industry for many years.
Even if he is short of money, it should be easy for him to borrow it.
”
“It is very easy to borrow.”
Su Cheng would not underestimate Zhang Yimou.
But he would not underestimate himself either:
“But it’s easier to borrow money from others than from me.”
“When I worked with him on”The Flowers of War”, I paid him without making any fuss because he knew I was easy to talk to.”
Zhang Yimou is certainly not a fool.
He borrowed money from others.
When he looked for actors, if he owed them a favor, should he give priority to them in future filmings? When he looked for the boss of a film and television company, if he owed them a favor, should he give priority to them in investing in new films? Instead of doing that, it would be better to owe Su Cheng a favor.
At least it was very pleasant to work with Su Cheng.
Su Cheng asked for money and gave it without making any trouble.
Moreover, Su Cheng understood movies and his suggestions were very constructive.
《
The deleted sex scene in”The Flowers of War” is the best proof!!
Of course,
Su Cheng is not at a disadvantage either.
Almost every movie of Zhang Yimou makes money.
If it is managed properly, it can even make a fortune.
More than ten years later,”Man Jiang Hong” made a lot of money by building a big yard and hiring a few actors. The cost is almost negligible, but the box office revenue is as high as 4.5 billion!!
This is a real cash cow!!
And if you can get along well with Zhang Yimou, you can ask him to help you promote your woman in the future.
You can make money and take care of your harem.
Why not?
Although Na Zha didn’t know the twists and turns, in her simple values, a big director like Zhang Yimou had to borrow money from her brother – her brother is really amazing.
She always says what she thinks. She immediately said what was in her heart with admiration,”Brother, you are so awesome. Will I have the opportunity to act in Director Zhang’s movies in the future?”
Su Cheng:”……”
You want to increase the intensity, right?
Your acting skills are so bad that even Zhang Yimou would have a headache!!
Su Cheng said vaguely:”Ahem, there will be a chance~”
In the last few days of 2011,
Su Cheng spent it in Xinjiang. He was the only one with Na Zha the whole time.
Na Zha was so happy……
She even made a promise,”As long as my brother is happy, I can accept playing Landlord with someone else besides Ni Ni.”
This”someone else” does not refer to other men, of course, but Su Cheng’s other women. The first person that came to Su Cheng’s mind was Reba.
The two beauties from Xinjiang.
Competing on the same stage.
Looking forward to it!!
Too much looking forward to it!!
But Reba has learned the true skills of the little fox Da Mimi.
Unlike Na Zha, who is obedient and willing to accommodate Su Cheng.
It has to be done slowly.
On the eve of New Year’s Day.
Su Cheng returned to Yanjing.
He began to appear on the show with Da Mimi.
At this time point, live broadcasting has not become popular. Whether it is movie promotion or TV promotion, you have to make an appointment in advance to record the program.
And there are not many programs to choose from.
Mango TV is an unavoidable link.
《Everyday Downward》、《After that , he appeared in several talk shows.
》、《Very Jing Distance”.
Time flies and it is January 8, 2012.
It is less than half a month away from the Chinese New Year.
Su Cheng did not forget the date he promised Reba.
He set off on January 9.
Once again, he set foot on the beautiful Xinjiang.
Fortunately, Xinjiang is big enough.
Although he accompanied Naza for a week before.
But it takes more than a week to visit Han Country, not to mention Xinjiang, which is more than ten times bigger than it.
So it was the second trip to Xinjiang.
There are still many attractions to visit.
Su Cheng accompanied Reba to ski, eat roasted lamb legs, visit Swan Lake and Tianshan Tianchi, and boldly camped in the wild for a night…….
That night, she didn’t freeze to death only because of the constant friction and heat.
Su Cheng learned his lesson and decided not to take risks again in the future!!
It was exciting, but it was really life-threatening.
On the eve of New Year’s Eve,
Reba stayed in Urumqi to spend the New Year with her parents. Su
Cheng returned to Yanjing again to prepare for the release of”Lucy”.
During the time he was with Reba,
《The publicity and promotion of”Lucy” never stopped.
Online publicity was handled by Orange Films – Yang Tianzhen, who had experience in V marketing for”Love Is Not Blind”, became more and more adept at using the Internet.
Offline publicity was a joint effort between Huaying and Wanta – billboards at bus stops, banners in large shopping districts, and bus stop advertisements at various Wanta cinemas. After rounds of bombardment,”Lucy” was already known to everyone on the first day of the Lunar New Year!!
Everything was ready.
Just waiting for the first day of the Lunar New Year!!
On New Year’s Eve.
Da Mimi had a New Year’s Eve dinner with her parents at home and then slipped away to her home with Su Cheng.
Su Cheng, who spent the New Year alone, was obviously not alone.
The phone kept ringing.——
“Happy New Year, Teacher”
“Happy New Year Sugar”
“Happy New Year Ni Ni”
“Happy New Year Naza”
“Happy New Year Book Shadow”
“Happy New Year Bai Mengyan”
“Happy New Year, Sissi…..”
When Da Mimi rushed to Su Cheng’s house,
Su Cheng was talking to Liu Yifei on the phone.
Liu Yifei asked on the phone,”The movie will be released tomorrow, are you nervous?”
Su Cheng was so engrossed in the conversation that he didn’t notice that Da Mimi was standing behind him,”I am nervous, Xixi, do you want to come to my house and relax?”
“Call me senior sister, no big deal~”
“My sister called you old.”
“Humph, I think you think it’s easier to tease me by calling me Xixi. Aren’t you afraid?……”
Liu Yifei was halfway through her words.
A familiar baby voice rang out in the phone,”Who are you chatting with so happily? My good husband?!”
It was Da Mimi who began to assert her sovereignty.
Liu Yifei recognized her voice and said,”I’ll help your movie sell well, you scumbag junior brother.” She hung up the phone directly.
Su Cheng pecked Da Mimi’s small mouth that was big enough to hang an oil bottle. (To read exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)
Then he hugged her soft body.
He nestled into the sofa.
Da Mimi was smug:”You don’t even explain it to me?”
Su Cheng looked innocent,”What to explain? Liu Yifei called me to wish me a happy new year. We are both seniors and juniors from Beijing Film Academy. I can’t just ignore her, right?”
“You didn’t call me senior sister just now, Xixi, do you feel comfortable calling me by your nickname?”
“Not as comfortable as Mimi.”
Su Cheng’s words were ambiguous.
Big Mimi looked at his unruly hands, feeling somewhat proud,”Liu Yifei is a flat man, of course she is not as comfortable as me.” It was New Year’s Day.
She did not care about Su Cheng’s flirting with Liu Yifei.
Instead, her anxiety was written on her face,”I really envy your calmness. I haven’t had a full night’s sleep since five days ago. Every night I dream that our movie has failed at the box office and the Internet is full of ridicule.”
《”Lucy” has not been released yet, but it has become the most anticipated domestic film in 2012.
Such high attention is accompanied by overwhelming pressure.
Once the box office fails,
Su Cheng will be seriously affected.
Da Mimi will not be able to escape.
She is the heroine!!
Su Cheng patted her shoulder,”Don’t panic, we have the right time, place and people, all the advantages are on us, there is no possibility of us losing.”
Da Mimi rolled her eyes,”How can there be a right time, place and people? The Spring Festival period is unprecedented. The Hollywood blockbuster”Mission Impossible 4″ is also released at the same time as us. Only you are so careless. I am scared to death.””
“Don’t think too much, just watch Spring Evening.”
The content of Spring Evening is getting worse year by year. The only thing that left a deep impression on Su Cheng this year was the debut of Shen Teng’s classic sketch image”Hao Jian”. This night,
Da Mimi did not go home.
She needed Su Cheng to help calm her anxious heart…….
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first Spring Festival movie season led by Su Cheng kicked off!!
On this day, there were more than 15 movies released in the cinema.
It looked very lively.
However, most of them were old movies, such as”Dragon Gate Flying Daggers” and”The Flowers of War” which were released for 40 days,
“Reverse War” which was released for 7 days, and”Sherlock Holmes 2″ which was released for 9 days.
Most of the new movies were low-budget movies that did not receive much attention.[]
The only two films worthy of praise are”Lucy” directed by Su Cheng and starring Da Mimi, and”Mission Impossible 4″ directed by Tom Cruise.
The two films dominate the schedule with 30% and 40% of the screenings respectively.
《Although Lucy was strongly supported by Huaying and Wanda, other domestic cinema chains preferred Mission: Impossible 4.
Even Yu Dong, who participated in the internal preview of Lucy and thought highly of Su Cheng, gave most of the screenings in the cinemas under Bona to Mission: Impossible 4. He was optimistic about Su Cheng, but the performance of Mission: Impossible 4 was”tested in actual combat” in other markets!!
《Mission Impossible 4 was released in the United States, Australia, Japan, and South Korea a month ago.
The box office in the United States exceeded 200 million US dollars, Japan reached nearly 70 million US dollars, and South Korea exceeded 50 million US dollars…….
It was a hit and a crowd pleaser!!
Yu Dong’s idea was simple:
《If Lucy wants to get a higher screening schedule than Mission: Impossible 4 in the cinemas under Bernard, it can only prove with actual results that it is more attractive to Chinese audiences than Mission: Impossible 4.
Otherwise,….
Impossible!!
On V.
The hot search was basically dominated by topics related to Spring Festival Gala.
Although Yang Tianzhen used her money to buy a small hot search for”Lucy”, not many netizens paid attention to it.
It’s normal.
V is not a movie forum after all.
It is Baidu’s [Box Office Bar] forum.
A group of senior movie fans happily opened the market:
“`.Place your bets! If you think Lucy will do well at the box office, please deduct 1. If you think Mission: Impossible 4 will do well, please deduct 2!”
“222222, brainless dunk 2!!”
“《What kind of joke is”Lucy”? How can you compare me with Tom Cruise?”
“The soup is invincible, the rest is up to you!!”
“To be honest, Chinese movies can’t compare to Hollywood movies. Last year’s”Dragon Gate Flying Daggers” was advertised as a 3D movie, and I thought it was awesome, but it turned out to be not even worthy of”Avatar”!!”
“If Lucy faced Mission: Impossible 3, it might have a chance, but Mission: Impossible 4 has a great reputation and the overseas box office is also great. Everyone who has seen it says it is good. Lucy has no chance!!”
“I hate Yang Mi, so no matter how good”Lucy” is, I won’t watch it!!”
“I feel like Lucy is going to be a dud. Su Cheng is very popular right now. If he is the lead actor, I would definitely be interested. But I really don’t want to watch a movie with Yang Mi as the female lead.”
“In the middle of the game, those who think that”Lucy” can break 100 million will give 11 points, those who think it can break 200 million will give 22 points, and those who think it can break 300 million will give 25 points.���Deduct 33, break 400 million and break 44. Come on, let’s gamble!!”
“100-200 million, after all, the producers are Huaying and Wanda!!”
“I bet 300 million, Love Is Not Blind can make 350 million, Su Cheng is known as the national husband, he has a lot of fans, 300 million should have a chance!!”
“Not long ago, Su Cheng said on the show”Bayu Youyue” that his psychological expectation was 500 million. Aren’t you slapping him in the face?”
“Do you think you are worth 500 million cabbages?!”
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, many people did not sleep well.
Da Mimi simply did not sleep.
At that time, there were already websites that counted box office data, but they were far less mature than later generations.
A few years later, professional data statistics software such as Miaoyan and Duo Piao Piao could basically display the box office of each movie in the current period in real time.
Now, it is generally necessary to wait until two or three o’clock in the morning of the next day to get relatively accurate box office data of the previous day.
Da Mimi had to wait until the box office data of the first day of the Lunar New Year to feel at ease. At two o’clock in the morning,
Su Cheng beside him had already fallen asleep.
Da Mimi was refreshing the laptop placed on the bedside again and again.
Until a certain moment –
January 23, 2012 (the first day of the first lunar month) box office ranking:
《Mission: Impossible 4, 64.58 million
《Lucy, 23.89 million
《”Reverse War”, 8.72 million.
Da Mimi looked at the data on the computer screen.
Her heart was finally at ease.
She couldn’t hold back her excitement. She suddenly slapped Su Cheng’s thigh.
“”Fuck!”
Su Cheng was about to curse after being woken up by the slap.
Da Mimi kissed him excitedly.���,”Success, we succeeded!!”
Su Cheng heard her say that.
He thought that”Lucy” beat”Mission Impossible 4″ on the first day. When she calmed down and listened to her story, he realized
《The first-day box office of”Lucy” is less than half of that of”Mission Impossible 4″!!
Su Cheng said unhappily,”It’s less than 25 million on the first day, why are you so excited?!”
Da Mimi rolled her eyes,”Brother, can I call you brother? The first-day box office is 23.89 million, can’t I be excited? The first-day box office of”The Flowers of War” was only 19 million on the first day!!”
Su Cheng shook his head,”How many screenings were there on the first day of”The Flowers of War”? And when it was released, it wasn’t a holiday, and it was a Thursday.”
Da Mimi was poured a bucket of cold water,”According to you, we failed?”
“It is too early to say whether it will be a success or failure. Let’s wait and see~”
Although Su Cheng was very concerned about the release of”Lucy”, planning the Spring Festival schedule and putting a lot of thought into online and offline promotion, the disadvantages of”Lucy” were also obvious. It was his first feature film.
Da Mimi had never had a single-handed record of carrying the box office.
Competing with”Mission Impossible 4″ at the same time was a risky move.
Su Cheng did not expect to win on the first day.
What he believed was that as the number of people watching”Lucy” increased, word of mouth would spread and a rolling ball effect would be formed.
That was when”Lucy” would reach the top!!.
