Chapter 450: The Worst National Day File in History

Tianbao may have sensed Liu Yifei's attitude toward him backstage: polite but not intimate, and the sense of distance was very obvious.

But she still kept calling "Sissi" and "Yifei".

After the premiere, I posted a photo with Liu Yifei on Weibo, but Liu Yifei didn't even like it, let alone repost it.

Yang Tianbao comforted himself: "Everyone knows that Liu Yifei doesn't use Weibo very much. She may have forgotten to log in."

The reason why there are so many movies on the National Day schedule this year is related to the growing market and the increasing number of movies. Another important reason is that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays coincide.

I have been scheduled for an 8-day long holiday, but in fact there are still two days before and after the holiday, plus one plus one minus, which means there is no Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.

But Cheng Yu'an is not very optimistic about the results of this year's National Day holiday.

First, films such as "Tongque Terrace" and "Tai Chi 1" are not considered to be top-notch films, and it is difficult to attract audiences to the theater. Another reason is that starting from this year's National Day, highways will be free during the holidays.

This policy is bound to activate the tourism market.

Everyone went out to play, so naturally there were fewer people watching movies.

Looking at it this way, "BJ Meets Seattle", which was released as early as the 21st, actually has a bit of an advantage. There are still 9 days before the holiday, so it can harvest some of the box office.

Cheng Yu'an can't pay attention to the performance of the market for the time being. He has seen the orders for this year's National Day show in advance. To put it bluntly, they are really rotten fish and shrimps. He is not worried about the performance of "BJ Meets Seattle" at all. With Liu Yifei's current appeal

, this movie is considered a hit if it doesn’t have 500 million.

He was supervising the work in the studio of Qingying Film Studio, and he had to come and see the set.

The current director of Qingying Film Studio is Professor Yu Jianhong, and Cheng Yuan also took his "Film Economics" during school.

Yu Jianhong accompanied Cheng Yu'an to the studio. He looked at the set pictures and said, "The layout of this house is so strange. It's not like our domestic style at all, but it's not like a Western-style apartment either."

Cheng Yu'an explained: "The layout of this apartment is indeed different. It has a long porch, many rooms, twists and turns, and various decorations..."

Before Cheng Yu'an could finish speaking, Yu Jianhong reacted: "It's probably to show the split and complicated heart of my father who suffers from Alzheimer's disease."

"Yes." Cheng Yu'an nodded, "The old man was already ill at the beginning of the story. He locked himself in his own house and refused the care of nurses. This layout of the house just corresponds to his heart."

The two were walking, watching and chatting in the studio. Yu Jianhong joked: "You and I, Mr. Hou, will bring a doctor with you this year. Are you interested in taking the exam?"

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "Forget it, it's been 10 years since I graduated. I feel awkward coming back to study for a PhD."

"I knew your kid was like this," Yu Jianhong only asked a few words, "If you didn't have Lao Hou protecting you when you were in school, you would have had a big demerit if you didn't get expelled."

Cheng Yu'an has at least 20 days of happy time - Liu Yifei is out promoting and not at home.

Liu Yifei's last film released was "Those Years" last summer. She has not released a film for a year. She usually does not participate in variety shows to gain recognition, but she has been exposed through various endorsements and activities.

And this year, the most dazzling actress of the younger generation is undoubtedly Yang Mi - the heroine with a box office of 1 billion.

Although "Wu-Tang" failed, anyone with eyes knows that Yang Mi cannot be blamed for that movie.

In this year's National Day release, Yang Mi's "Tongque Terrace" will face off against Liu Yifei's "BJ Meets Seattle."

The managers of various theaters are more optimistic about "Tongque Terrace". Yang Mi + Fa Ge are obviously better than Liu Yifei paired with Yu Hewei, who is not very well-known.

Moreover, historical blockbusters like "Tongquetai" sell better than comedies like "BJ Meets in Seattle".

At the press conference, director Zhao Linshan shouted the slogan "over 500 million".

We can say calmly that the cast of "Tongque Terrace" does support his call for 500 million.

I won’t talk about the starring cast, but let’s take a look at the big names behind the scenes:

The producer is Zhang Yimou's royal photographer Zhao Xiaoding, the sound engineer is Tao Jing, who is also Zhang Yimou's old friend, known as "China's No. 1 Sound Engineer", the styling and costume design is Xi Zhongwen, the soundtrack is Japanese film soundtrack master Shigeru Umebayashi, and the art is "The Best of Film Art".

"God" Japan's chief art master Taneda Hinata, and even the set designer is Akatsuka Yoshihito, one of the top 20 set designers in the world.

This lineup, not to mention others, made Cheng Yuan salivate just looking at it. Even if he wanted to get this group of people together in the same crew, it would take a lot of effort.

Therefore, it is clear that Guangxian and Changying Factory attach great importance to "Tongque Terrace", which is also the source of Yang Mi's confidence.

With the protection of this group of masters, this film cannot be defeated no matter what.

However, when the crew of "Tongquetai" saw the performance of "BJ Meets Seattle", they felt extremely unstable:

33 million on the first day on Friday, which is an average performance, which is a normal manifestation of Liu Yifei’s appeal.

Saturday was an exaggeration, 64 million! It fell back to 57 million on Sunday, and 150 million in the first three days of the weekend, setting a record for the fastest domestic comedy to break 100 million.

On the 25th, the eve of the release of "Tongque Terrace", "Northwest" was released for 5 days and exceeded 200 million box office.

A film industry analyst said: "In previous years, the National Day schedule was generally dominated by two domestic blockbusters, such as "The Founding of a People's Republic" and "The Wind" in 2009, "Di Renjie" and "Sword Rain" in 2010, last year's "Painted Skin 2" and

"The Legend of White Snake". From September 26th to 29th this year, there were 4 blockbusters in a row, and one from the 1st to the 7th was not included. The competition is too fierce and abnormal. Now "BJ Meets Seattle" has taken shape.

This year may be the 'worst National Day holiday in history'."

"This actually reflects the unreasonable film schedule in our film market. Last year's National Day release benefited from the promotion of "Painted Skin 2", and the market had 700 million. Maybe various companies looked at last year's data and thought that this year's market could also have 700 million.

, but this year the market has returned to rationality, and scientific predictions indicate that this year’s National Day market should be in the range of 400-500 million. Judging from this year’s film list, there is no film like "Painted Skin 2" that can boost the overall market.

"We have five or six films to be released at the end of the month, just to compete for these 400 million?"

"This is a very irrational film schedule. I hope that in the future our relevant departments can work with the main producers to coordinate the schedule. If there is such serious infighting among domestic films, we will only be hurt."

The pressure on "Tongque Terrace" and "Tai Chi 1" increased sharply.

Fa Ge even said: "I'm so stressed that I haven't slept well for several weeks... I have been working hard in Hong Kong, pushing "Tongque Terrace" to its peak every day, and doing a lot of things in my heart,

I didn’t tell you.”

He even acted coquettishly to his fans: "Did you buy a ticket for the midnight show? No? You don't care about me and you don't love me."

According to Fa Ge's habit, he has never participated in the post-production promotion of movies, but in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer scripts coming to him, and there have been no outstanding results at the box office - "Let the Bullets Fly" was made by Jiang Wen, and the results were equally divided among the three.

On human head.

"Tongque Terrace" Cao Cao is a good character, he takes it seriously.
