Sherlock, first week box office 42.23 million!

On the morning of the 26th, the media controlled by China Film Group frantically published the news, and Lin Shu was also dubbed the "genius director".

This title belonged to Ning Hao before, and it will belong to others in the future, so just listen and don’t take it too seriously.

However, fame and fortune are inseparable. Sherlock's first-week box office performance has made China Film Group willing to spend more resources on promotion.

After spending resources, you will naturally want to see returns. Previously, Sherlock was only shown in major cities across the country, but after the box office results were released on the first day, Han Sanping directly increased its screening scale to include the whole country.

China Film has been working overtime in the past two days to copy the film and quickly send it to theaters across the country.

On the 26th, Sherlock officially landed in theaters in prefecture-level cities across the country.

At the same time, the original 14.5% film schedule has been raised to 31.2%. If it were not taken into account that today is the premiere of Huayi Film Game Dragon and Phoenix, this proportion would be even greater.

Proper publicity can attract more uninformed passers-by to buy tickets and enter the cinema. The situation of Chinese people following the trend and buying has always existed.

Those media outlets that previously published articles mocking Lin Shu have now suffered from selective amnesia, forgotten what they said, and chose to join the array of flattery.

"Star Weekly: Genius director Lin Shu, a box office of over 100 million is not his limit!"

"Beijing Entertainment News: I make movies just to make money. I am a rare true-hearted director in China."

"Sina Entertainment: Lin Shu redefined the existence of Chinese detective films."

……

"Exaggerated! The compliments of these media are too exaggerated, especially Sina. Are they trying to flatter me?"

Lin Shu held the newspaper in his hand and looked at Weng Li in confusion, hoping he could give an explanation.

"How is that possible? Sina just contacted me this morning and hopes to give you a promotional interview."

"Is there any script this time?"

As one of the four major portal websites, Sina's publicity is still very powerful. As long as the other party has no bad intentions, Lin Shu is still very willing to follow.

Weng Li, who came to work on the first day of the first lunar month, was in a good mood. Faced with Lin Shu's question, he waved his hand and said grandly.

"There is no script. Director Han has said that you will be free to express yourself. Moreover, he has also communicated with the people in Shanghai. After you go there tomorrow, you don't have to go to the theater to promote it. You can just go directly to the media meeting."

Media meetings to promote movies are generally treated like a treatment only given to great directors. This is easier and more efficient than going to a movie theater to promote.

If the promotion is in the form of a media meeting, then Lin Shu still has time to go home and take a look.

After Lin Shaoan and Ye Mengqin knew that Lin Shu was going back to Shanghai to promote the movie tomorrow, they bought tickets and flew back early today at noon. This was so that Lin Shu could go home and have a good meal after the promotion.

"Brother Weng, how are the results of other movies?"

Lin Shu has been paying attention to his own movie these days, and has contacted Wang Kai and others to prepare for promotion. He has no idea about the situation of other movies on the market.

Weng Li returned to his desk and found out the box office results of the movie released last week.

"Last week, the third-placed movie at the box office was Crazy Racer with 20.707 million, the second-placed Red Cliff with 28.54 million, and the first-placed Sherlock. Among them, Red Cliff was in its third week of release, and you attracted the most viewers.

Yes, but fortunately the box office has exceeded 200 million."

"Tsk, 200 million. I remember the cost of the two Red Cliff movies was 100 million U.S. dollars. Now the combined box office of the two movies is less than the cost line..."

"Oh, don't mention it. If it weren't for your unexpected surprise this time, I'm afraid China Film would have become a laughing stock in the industry. This white pigeon Wu is really a gangster who has exhausted his talent."

Lin Shu glanced at Weng Li in surprise. In his previous life, he was still curious about why China Film Group was throwing money at him when everyone on the Internet knew that Baige Wu was dying. But now it can be seen from Weng Li's words that China Film Group Corporation

None of us are fools.

"Don't look at me like this. Before the results come out, who knows whether it is good or bad? Movies are inherently a high-risk investment. If China Film wants to be integrated with the international community, it must have big productions. Bai Ge Wu has at least been in Hollywood.

."

At this point, Lin Shu finally understood what Weng Li meant.

As a big brother in the domestic film industry, China Film Group naturally has the ambition to enter Hollywood, and Baige Wu happens to be a major commercial film director who has returned from Hollywood.

Even if he failed because of the movie Whisperer, he is still better than the domestic directors. After all, he was once brilliant. As for Li Yu, another Hollywood actor, he is now an art film director.

From this point of view, it seems that the only director China Film Group can choose is Baige Wu. After all, not everyone can make good use of US$100 million.

Lin Shu could use his future knowledge to deny Baige Wu because he already knew the outcome of Red Cliff, and the people at China Film Academy only knew it now.

The entertainment industry is a realistic place where everyone will only chase the winners and abandon the losers.

After the failure of "Red Cliff", director Wu Da's halo has dropped by half. After Taiping Wheel is released in a few years, the remaining half will be lost to him.

……

On the 27th, since yesterday was a holiday, Sherlock increased its film schedule and screening scale.

Therefore, on the fourth day of its release, the box office of Sherlock bucked the trend and recorded another 21.54 million. The current total box office has reached 63.77 million!

On the first day of release, The Legend of the Dragon and the Phoenix only scored 7.04 million, ranking second on the day, but Huayi Brothers couldn't be happier.

Master Liu Weijiang and King Liu Dehua, such a dream combination, was actually twice as far away from Sherlock on its fourth day of release.

Moreover, Sherlock is all newcomers from the director to the actors, and what’s even more annoying is that the two main actors in it are both Huayi’s own people!

In the office of the president of Huayi, Wang Zhonglei, the second in charge of film production and distribution, was pointing at the head of the agency department and scolding him.

"Why doesn't Huayi know about the movie Sherlock? The second male lead Wang Kai and the third male lead Zhu Yongteng are both our contracted artists. Why didn't they recommend this movie to us?"

The failure of You Long Xi Feng was a foregone conclusion. At this time, Wang Zhonglei knew that no matter how hard he promoted it, he would not be able to bring the movie back to life.

Lin Shu has China Film Group's backing, and it is impossible for him to use fabricated evidence to discredit the other party.

Wang Zhonglei, who had no choice but to take out his anger on his subordinates, blamed them for not doing their job properly. He knew clearly that one of his artists had gone to film a movie, but he did not recommend it to the company.

After scolding people, Wang Zhonglei quickly calmed down and began to think about what to do next.

They had previously put a lot of pressure on Lin Shu through the media, but now he needed to find a way to mend the relationship between the two parties. After all, a director with a box office of nearly 100 million yuan is worthy of any media company's friendship.

In the afternoon of that day, Huayi Brothers' media suddenly changed their tone and changed their previous disparagement of Lin Shu, sincerely calling him China's future director master.
