Chapter 181 Lunar New Year File 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】
"There are several movies that are competing with us for the New Year holiday. The competition this year is more intense than last year. In addition to us, there are seven major movies released in total, and the entire schedule has become very crowded."
"So terrifying, does it mean that eight blockbusters compete for the New Year's Eve?"
Xu Wenruo's expression on his face was quite surprised. He had heard before that the competition for the New Year holiday might be a bit fierce, but he didn't expect that the actual situation would be even more serious than he thought.
However, this is also a big deal for Xu Wenruo. After his two movies were sold at the box office, many companies realized that the past two years were a period of rapid growth in domestic box office, so they decided to get a share. Even though some companies tried the comedy waters and did not make a lot of money, they still maintained confidence in the overall environment of the film and television market.
So many companies choose to continue their efforts. If they make a popular movie, they will make a lot of money. Even if the quality of the filming is not very good, as long as they can hire a few traffic stars, it will be fine to make a profit. This is the current environment. Seeing Xu Wenruo making a lot of money, they were very anxious and even more uncomfortable than if they owe it.
"I just contacted the third master. China Film Group is very proud of its actions. He helped us get 40% of the screening volume. As long as the box office performance was good a few days ago, the subsequent screening volume can be guaranteed."
"It's so cool under the big tree. It seems that we don't have to worry about the problems in theaters anymore. We just need to do a good job in publicity."
"But there are several movies that need to be paid attention to. They probably will meet the schedule with us. We still choose to schedule the New Year's Eve this time. There are three other movies that are released in this period."
Qi Yue's expression was very solemn. Looking at her expression, Xu Wenruo understood that these movies were probably due to the deep background and the people came from bad luck.
"The first movie to announce the scheduled release of New Year's Eve is "Cycloth Cat". The production company is Qingyun Media. This company specializes in martial arts themes. It has been silent for two or three years. This time, it has been reappeared and caused a lot of sensation. The martial arts films they once filmed were popular in an era."
"The comedy movie "Alien Arrival" collaborated by Huang Bo and Sheng Teng is scheduled for the New Year's Eve almost at the same time as us. This should be a simple collision, but as two famous comedians in China, the movies they jointly filmed should not be underestimated."
After introducing the first two movies, when it was the third movie's turn, Qi Yue's eyes turned a little flashing. Xu Wenruo was still a little strange, but after listening to Qi Yue's introduction, he immediately understood what was going on.
"The other movie was produced and distributed by Huayi Media. The movie is called "Tianya Inn". It is said that it has invested more than 200 million yuan. It specially invited Kung Fu superstar Zheng Xin to be the starring actor. The director is director Liu Zhentao, a well-known in the industry. The films shot by this director are funny and very popular with the audience."
"These opponents sound not weak, but we are not bad at all. We have competed for quality. You have watched our movie, which is definitely a classic movie. We competed for fame. We also have three actors in this movie, which are all competitors in the New Year holiday, so you don't have to worry too much."
Even after listening to Qi Yue's introduction, Xu Wenruo was still full of confidence. Although these movies sounded good, they were still a little short of the star-stunning "Let the Bullets Fly". You should know that the actors in this movie were all checked by the Third Master, and each actor has a background.
"Well, I have confidence in you, they certainly can't compare to you."
Qi Yue looked at Xu Wenruo with a smile, and a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. Xu Wenruo, who was staring at Qi Yue, seemed a little uncomfortable because he had never seen Qi Yue look at him with this gaze, and Xu Wenruo felt inconspicuous.
Xu Wenruo reached out to shake Qi Yue and was immediately slapped by her. Qi Yue showed an impatient expression on her face, her cheeks turned pink, and Xu Wenruo had a white look.
"What are you doing?"
"What's wrong with your eyes just now!"
"What's wrong! You must have read it wrong!"
Qi Yue glared at Xu Wenruo again, but was defeated in Xu Wenruo's suspicious eyes, so he could only find a reason to run out.
"Do you think I'm as idle as you, and I'm thinking all day long. I still have to prepare for the premiere. I'm so busy that I don't have time to talk nonsense to you, so I'm bye."
Qi Yue, who was aggressive, looked very embarrassed when she ran away, but before Xu Wenruo could react, the cell phone on the table rang.
"Hey, is it Director Xu?"
"It's me, Bogo, long time no see."
"I haven't talked about it for a long time, otherwise I won't have a car crash this time. I only recently learned that your new movie is also released on New Year's Eve."
As soon as Huang Bo spoke, Xu Wenruo knew his purpose. It was obvious that the two of them had a collision this time. When China Film Group and Fengqi Studio were promoting, the specific release time had not been determined. It just so happened that Huang Bo's movie was released in a hurry. When they decided on the job, they found that they had a collision with the two movies.
However, according to the release density of this New Year's Day, it is very normal to crash the car. After all, the most important time of the New Year's Day is half a month before and after the Spring Festival. Now eight blockbusters will be released in succession, and there will be ghosts if there are no collisions.
In fact, Xu Wenruo also understood what Huang Bo meant to make this call. He definitely wanted to continue to maintain his relationship with Xu Wenruo. Even if he wanted to make money from the New Year holiday, there was no need to break up.
"This is also a time when there is no way. This year's New Year holiday is too crowded. It's too late to change the schedule now."
"You are right. This year's New Year holidays are not easy. I wouldn't have come to join in the fun if I had known it. In fact, after I learned about the New Year holiday, I suggested postpone the schedule for a period of time. However, the investors were really anxious and were anxious to release the film as soon as they finished shooting. Alas, this is really impossible to say."
When Huang Bo heard Xu Wenruo mention this topic, he was also full of bitterness. It was obvious that investors were not so easy to get along with. For investors, the most important thing is to make money. There is no industry that makes money faster than making movies. Xu Wenruo's profit this year has made countless investors jealous.
"Do your best and leave your fate. Now that the movie has been filmed and the schedule has been determined, we will finally leave it to the audience to choose. What we should do has been done, and it will not be our business next."
"Director Xu is still watching it openly, so I'll wish Director Xu a big box office success here."
"Boge, you are the same, you're a big box office hit!"
After hanging up Huang Bo's movie, Xu Wenruo couldn't help but shake his head. He really didn't expect Huang Bo to call him specifically for this matter. In fact, Xu Wenruo didn't take this matter seriously at all. He could only say that Huang Bo was very good at being a human being. For this misunderstanding, he called Xu Wenruo to explain.
In fact, Xu Wenruo didn't take this matter seriously at all. He was still quite heart-wrenching. Although it was released at the same time, in Xu Wenruo's opinion, the final box office results also depend on the quality of the movie. Everything is left to the audience to choose. Even if they lose, there is nothing to complain about.
Besides, this time it was really not intentional. It was just that everyone was eyeing the fat piece of meat during the New Year holiday and wanted to take a bite. Then everyone would just rely on their skills.
In the following period, the atmosphere of the New Year holiday became extremely strong. After all, as the Spring Festival approached, people who had been busy for a year finally had time to free up and have fun. Watching movies is a very good way to entertain. Several blockbusters in the New Year holiday are all movies that are expected by the audience.
"This year's New Year's Day is really lively. It can be called an All-Star lineup. If you count carefully, there are almost ten actors participating in the competition for the New Year's Day. This year's New Year's Day is not to be missed."
"Indeed, the most anticipated one is "Let the Bullets Fly". I am quite looking forward to Xu Wenruo's new movie. He can always create miracles and surprise the audience."
"I'm quite optimistic about the comedy films of Huang Bo and Sheng Teng. They are both very funny comedy artists, and they will definitely have unexpected chemical reactions together."
"Ye Qing came back, Qingyun Media actually made a new martial arts film without saying a word. I have to support them, and this trailer is full of memories."
"There are too many good movies during the New Year holiday this time, which makes people overwhelmed. I want to watch them all, but my wallet doesn't allow it, so it's so uncomfortable."
As time approaches, the topics of several movies that were released first soar with time. Among them, "Let the Bullets Fly" is the most popular, and even the pre-sale box office is far ahead. All the movie tickets were sold out on the day of the premiere of the Little New Year.
The number of bookings has reached the third day. The tickets for "Let the Bullets Fly" are hard to come by. The pre-sale has just begun, and the box office has exceeded one billion, which has made many insiders in the film and television industry so angry that they want to replace Xu Wenruo. Why has Xu Wenruo recovered the cost before his movies have been released?
If there is an answer to this question, it must be reputation. A director's reputation is equivalent to personal reputation. Xu Wenruo is an idol with very good reputation. He has never disappointed his fans since his debut. This is why fans can support him unconditionally.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year, heavy snow in the capital.
As soon as Xu Wenruo pushed open the door, a cold wind blew outside, making him tremble. Looking at the white scene outside, Xu Wenruo let out a breath of heat in his hands. Just as he was about to leave, Ms. Deng Xinyu's voice came from behind.
"What a hurry? You haven't finished your meal yet, so you're anxious to go out. Put on a scarf. It's so cold outside. Tell me about you, it's so big, and I'm still worried."
Ms. Deng Xinyu was holding a thick scarf in her hand, putting it around Xu Wenruo's neck, and kept muttering.
"Mom, I'm wearing it like a polar bear. There's no need to wear such a thick scarf."
"Bring it! It's so cold outside, what's wrong with wearing it thicker? Warm!"
When Ms. Deng Xinyu heard Xu Wenruo's rebuttal, she pulled the scarf hard and almost strangled Xu Wenruo to death. Xu Wenruo loosened the scarf on her neck so that she could take a breath. Facing her father Xu Qing's gaze, both of them were full of helplessness.
There is no way. No matter how popular Xu Wenruo is outside, in this family, Ms. Deng Xinyu's status is supreme, and the father and son can only accept their fate.
"Okay, mom, I have to leave first, there are still people waiting for me below."
"Come back early after attending the ceremony and make dumplings tonight."
"knew."
Before Xu Wenruo could finish her words, she ran towards the elevator. Looking at Xu Wenruo who was waving his hands behind her, Ms. Deng Xinyu muttered a few words, but Xu Wenruo, who had already run away, didn't hear it at all.
Xu Wenruo ran to Qi Yue's car and saw Xu Wenruo's tight bag, Qi Yue couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha, what are you going to do with this dress? Am I delaying your hibernation?"
"The dog can't spit out ivory."
Xu Wenruo glared at Qi Yue, then took off the down and scarf, and lost a lot of weight. Looking at Xu Wenruo's movements, Qi Yue's eyes were still smiling.
"Let's go, my mom ordered me to go back early. I can't stay outside for too long today."
"oh."
After hearing Xu Wenruo's words, Qi Yue's interest suddenly became low for some reason, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and the carriage also became a little silent.
Xu Wenruo, who noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong, also realized that he had said something. He touched the wound deep in Qi Yue's heart. Xu Wenruo would usually pay attention to avoid it, but this time he just came out of home and some words blurted out.
For Xu Wenruo, this maternal love that seems unbearable is very precious to Qi Yue. She has never felt this way since she was a child, so when she heard Xu Wenruo's words, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"By the way, how are the premiere preparations? No problem."
Xu Wenruo carefully looked for topics, hoping to break the quiet atmosphere in the car. Qi Yue was not such a pretentious person. She quickly adjusted her emotions and answered Xu Wenruo's words easily.
"It has been prepared long ago. The people of China Film Group are very experienced. Our people have learned a lot this time. Although it is just a seemingly simple premiere, many of the details need to be paid attention to. China Film Group has done very well with these details. In the future, Fengqi Studio can also hold a banquet in accordance with these rules and regulations."
Xu Wenruo knew that this was a small regret in Qi Yue's heart. When he held the celebration banquet of "American Journey", the process was not as complete as he imagined, which made people from Xingxun Pictures laugh.
