Chapter 120 Kneeling Event (5/5)

"In terms of distribution, let's go to preview first... Contact the Shanghai Film Festival and provide us with a screening room for thousands of people!"

Because many films are low in popularity in the early stage, they choose previews to increase attendance and prepare for the next screening...

"Geng Hao Returns to Hometown" was released two months in advance, which will definitely disrupt the deployment of theaters...

However, "The Embroidered Sword 2" is too serious and is not suitable for facing Hollywood blockbusters such as "Angry Birds" and "Differences".

Lu Xiaoran is not a fool, so he chose to face "Captain America 3" head-on?

A foggy brain?

According to the Big Golden Retriever, Captain America 3 was the global box office champion in 2016, and the mainland won a box office of RMB 1.2 billion...

Fighting against it head-on?

I have to wait for the ten-day windfall period to pass!

He has confidence in "Geng Hao Back to Hometown"!

Ge You + Huang Bo, who is also a comedy type, and Zhou Jielun, if you don’t say 2 billion, there is no problem with 1.5 billion, right?

With the order of Lu Xiaoran, the entire Orange publicity mechanism started work...

...

"Captain America 3" indeed showed the dominance of the Marvel series, winning a box office of 626 million in the first weekend...

Then it plummeted by 60% on weekdays...

The Marvel series is really a fan movie, but the fan base is just a bit big!

A "Captain America 3" is obviously not enough to drive the market...

Compared with last year's "Avengers 2", "Doraemon: Walking with Me" and "International Market" three big-selling movies, "Captain America 3" is a bit too much to watch.

Then, Fang Li, the producer of "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix", knelt down...

Fang Li is a person with a temperament and has a title: Godfather of underground movies!

The movies "The Summer Palace", "Anyang Baby", Li Yu's "Guanyin Mountain" to the latest "Growth of Everything".

Why did he vote for so many banned films? His own explanation: At first, he was stupid and didn’t know how to make movies and still needed a license!

Later I thought it was really difficult for these filmmakers...

By the way, he also invested in "The Future of the Year"!

In a sense, Brother Qing’s character is drawn from Dabo Fang.

"A Hundred Years of Phenomenon" is the last work of director Wu Tianming. It was filmed three years ago. After filming, it was refrigerated because it had no money to promote and distribute, and the producer did not pay a penny for the movie.

The following year, director Wu Tianming passed away. Wu Tianming's daughter Wu Yan found Fang Li, hoping to make the movie "see the light of day again", so Fang Li paid a million yuan in his pocket and took over the matter.

In fact, in addition to the praise of "Hundred Birds and Phoenixes" in the industry, it was expected that it had encountered market sluggishness and poor box office.

Niche movies are niche after all, and fighting with commercial blockbusters is bound to fail.

You cannot replace commercial logic with artistic sentiment. Art movies are tragically fighting commercial blockbusters in theaters, which is an unrealistic thing in itself!

Even if Wu Yan said, ‘The history of world movies will not leave a place for Marvel’

The original saying is, ‘American filmmakers have also begun to become aesthetically tired of the flood of superhero movies such as Marvel. What can remain in history? Marvel certainly won’t, at best it’s just entertainment, and it won’t remain in history like Schindler’s List.’

Too pretentious, no matter whether this kind of thing is right or wrong, a young man without a work is inappropriate to say it!

Fortunately, her popularity is very low, and she has not been discussed too much, and she has not had any impact on the filming of "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix"...

But Fang Li's kneeling has indeed affected many people...

It should be during the live broadcast that Fang Li recommended "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" and said: "I hope everyone can recommend "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" on Weibo and Moments."

"As long as you (the theater manager) can arrange a golden field for us this weekend, my old side is willing to kneel down for you. All my friends, as long as I have helped "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix", I love you so much, and I am willing to do anything."

It immediately topped the hot search for the next day...

#Wu Tianming#,#Fang Li kneeled#,#"Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix"#…

...

Lu Xiaoran has no opinion on this matter.

The same goes for the saying: The way out for art films or independent films is not in commercial theaters, and you cannot bind the theaters and audiences in the name of emotions.

Someone may have asked, "Why should literary and artistic movies pay for money?"

Then you can also ask, "Why can't you lose money on literary and artistic movies?"

Movies are a bit like gambling. Whether you are a commercial film or a novice, you may fail in box office and reputation.

Touching people with feelings is a way of publicity, but it is not a good solution, nor is it a complete solution!

Orange Theater did not report this to Lu Xiaoran. Of course, it must have mentioned that the popularity of "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" will be available, and the box office will be available!

Fang Li was down, and overnight, his circle of friends flooded the screen, Weibo became a hot search, the portal was on the homepage, and the media and self-media reprinted and discussed a lot, making "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" once again attracted attention.

Many people say that Fang Li kneeled down for the box office... Of course, it was for the box office, but it should be more of a true love. He had not yet kneeled down for money. "Home in a place with lush water and grass" lost more than 5 million yuan, but he didn't see him kneeling down!

"Hundred Birds Paying For the Phoenix", he is just helping with the release, not the producer!

An investor who has been in the film industry for so long has no movie worthy of kneeling down, but he can also offer his knees to any movie he thinks is worthy of.

Then, Amou called Lu Xiaoran and asked him to do a favor...

Amou and Wu Tianming were the story of Qianlima and Bole!

Not only A Mou, but Wu Tianming is also the planner behind "Red Sorghum", the decision-maker behind "Loess Land", and the director of "Old Well".

Huang Jianxin's "Black Cannon Incident" and Tian Zhuangzhuang's "Horse Thieves" were all filmed at the Western Film Studio...

At that time, Xi'an Film Studio, under the leadership of Wu Tianming, excavated A Mou, seconded Brother Chen Kai, and held down the reed.

Such a magical operation is unprecedented in the history of Chinese films, and no one has come after it.

He went against the opposition and promoted the photographer A Mou as the director in an extraordinary manner, invested in his film "The Ninety-Nine Green Killing Mouth", which is "Red Sorghum"!

Let’s put it this way, without Wu Tianming, maybe there would be no Ah Mou!

Amou wants his mentor's last works to be seen by more people...

"Okay, I'll post a Weibo... Also, I'll ask Orange's cinema to give at least a screening room for "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" in the Golden Field!"

Others called, but Lu Xiaoran might not care about it, Amou was different...

Amou is the 'art director' of Orange's film department...

Of course, most importantly, he is the only Chinese director Lu Xiaoran admires.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoran posted a scarf: "It's better to watch "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix", which is considered a kind of respect for Chinese filmmakers. Don't talk about moral kidnapping. If you don't watch it, no one will say you! If you don't watch it, people say you have no conscience and immorality. This is kidnapping. Mr. Fang's kneeling at least makes some viewers who like art films willing to go to the cinema to watch the movie..."

At the same time, I called the theater manager and asked him to queue up a few more games in the Golden Field...

Double mark Lu Yiqian...

What if it was Wang Xiaoshuai who knelt down?

Or if director Amou didn’t call, would you still send a scarf?
Chapter completed!
