Chapter 579 Lucy is released, Magnolia incident

Chapter 579 Lucy is released, Magnolia incident

After a short reunion, it was time to part again.

Liu Yifei had to take on most of the domestic promotional tasks for "Lucy".

A series of schedules, including variety shows, interviews, and roadshows, filled the entire month of June.

Zhou Yutang also had to return to the crew of "Joy of Life 2" to shoot.

When he returned to the crew, the news of his attendance at the premiere of "Lucy" had already been posted on the headlines of major entertainment portals.

This movie, which premiered simultaneously around the world, attracted the vast majority of attention from both inside and outside the circle, including Aunt Liu.

"The box office of "Coming Home" reached 369 million, and the total box office of "Overheard 3" was almost 300 million. The box office trends of "Godzilla" and "X-Men" were also very stable."

Aunt Liu, who usually didn't care much about box office data, checked the box office data report compiled by the team almost a dozen times a day.

"Mom, don't worry, Xiao Zhou said it's okay."

Liu Yifei saw Aunt Liu's slightly frowned and uneasy look, but comforted her instead.

Mother and daughter are connected by heart, and she can feel her mother's concern for her.

It is understandable. From her perspective, she naturally hopes that Lucy can perform better at the box office.

"You believe in him so much."

Aunt Liu knows all the potential competitors: "There are too many powerful competitors in June, including "Maleficent" and "Transformers 4". How does Pei Kang schedule the film?"

"I believe in him, and he is worthy of trust."

Liu Yifei said nonchalantly: "Mom, look at the projects that Xiao Zhou has done, they have never failed."

"Ah?"

Aunt Liu was slightly stunned.

"Not once."

Liu Yifei's flawless face was full of pride.

"Well, let's go."

Aunt Liu looked dazed, as if she had thought of something, and shook her head and laughed: "Let's go, I have two talk shows today."

"How is the attendance rate?"

"On the first day, the attendance rate exceeded 90% at midnight, and the first wave of word-of-mouth is good."

"Keep paying attention, including the American side."

"Well, I understand."

Ni Ni hung up the phone neatly.

Time soon came to the 11th, and the publicity campaign reached its peak. "Lucy" has been officially released.

If he was not in the crew, Zhou Yutang would definitely go to the theater in person.

The box office potential of this movie is evaluated from various angles such as the attendance rate of the audience and the viewing experience.

Now we can only let Ni Ni bring a professional data team to do this.

The feedback received was very good. "Lucy" occupied the daily crown seat with a first-day score of 48.2 million yuan on the first day.

It was released in North America, with a single-day score of 28 million US dollars, emerging as a dark horse and sitting on the throne of the North American daily crown.

It blossomed both domestically and abroad, achieving simultaneous top spot.

This couldn't help but suffocate the entire mainland filmmakers.

At the meeting of the Guangguang Film Department, many senior executives wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

Some people took the opportunity to flatter him: "Fortunately, Mr. Wang is wise and postponed "The Breakup Master" to July."

According to the original rhythm, it was scheduled for mid-June. "Lucy" came out on the top and "Red Ling" intercepted it on the bottom. There are several Hollywood blockbusters in between. There is a high probability that it will become cannon fodder in the summer season.

"It seems that the North American box office is expected to exceed 100 million, and the domestic box office will be at least more than 500 million, right?"

"Among the 85 flowers, in terms of performance, we have to look at the gods."

"Liu Yifei is already the next level."

"If the first sister doesn't come out, who can compete with her?"

"I have General Da Mimi, who can fight!"

"Haha, Yang Mi is far behind."

Da Mimi, who just finished the promotion of the variety show "Gu Jian Qi Tan", was scrolling through the comments on the Internet in the nanny car, and her little hand paused at the last comment.

I was very angry.

The amazing arc of her chest.

Click and report without explanation.

Looking at the box office of "Lucy", she would be lying if she said she didn't envy it.

Although "Charlotte's Troubles", which created the myth of a dark horse last year, is now ranked second in the domestic film box office list, the biggest bonus of that movie was taken by Shen Teng and Happy Twist.

Yang Mi is equivalent to a pendant heroine. Although there is a traffic bonus, it is completely incomparable to the influence brought by such a commercial film with a heroine that is popular both at home and abroad.

These influences are specifically reflected in the status and endorsement of top luxury brands.

In this regard, only Liu Shishi, who has just been nominated for the Magnolia Best Actress Award again, can compete with the fairy in the same age group.

Huh——

Slowly exhaling, Yang Mi's emotions gradually stabilized, but she only thought of the man who pushed the fairy to the top behind the scenes, and occasionally a few strands of resentful light flashed in her eyes.

"Mi Mi?"

"Ah?"

"What are you thinking about? I called you several times and you didn't respond."

"Nothing, Sister Jia, how is the schedule?" Yang Mi stroked her hair, just as if nothing happened.

"I just finished talking to Guangguang."

Zeng Jia put down her phone: "The schedule of "Breakup Guru" has been moved to July."

""Tiny Times 3" is also scheduled for July, won't it coincide with the release date?"

"That's what I want to tell you. Director Guo's publicity plan has been finalized. What do you think?"

"Sister Jia."

After pondering for a while, Yang Mi quickly made a decision: "Turn down the publicity for "Tiny Times 3" and focus on "Breakup Guru."

Although Guo Xiaosi's traffic is not low now, it is not good enough compared to Guangguang Media, which has more resources and energy.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Zeng Jia seemed to see the light flashing in Yang Mi's eyes.

I also saw Yang Mi’s phone staying on Zhou Yutang’s chat interface.

But she didn't say much.

As a qualified agent and partner, she knows exactly what to do to maximize profits.

To a certain extent, the development speed and height of "Mi Xing" company even depend on the relationship between Yang Mi and Zhou Yutang.

"I went to Yudu today and ate King Rabbit. It was spicy but delicious."

"The rabbit is so cute, why do you want to eat it?"

"Because it's delicious."

"You look like a rabbit to me."

Zhou Yutang could feel Liu Yifei's joyful mood across the flat screen.

Liu Yifei, who had just taken a shower, wore a cat-ear headband on her head, and used bottles and jars to apply on her skin that was as solid as snow: "Xiao Zhou, why didn't you work overtime today?"

"Something went wrong while filming Wia today."

"Are you okay?"

The skin care action suddenly stopped, with undisguised concern in Liu Yifei's eyes.

"I'm fine. One of the soldiers injured a bone. It's not a big problem."

Zhou Yutang listened to Liu Yifei share interesting trivial things during the road show, and also told her about her life on the set.

He was equipped with six stand-ins in the crew of "Celebrating the New Year 2", including background stand-ins, light stand-ins, hand stand-ins, etc., including two martial arts stand-ins.

Because they were divided into two groups to control the shooting of different scenes, the stand-in was responsible for the shots that did not require his face to be shown, and the martial arts stand-in was for safety and time considerations.

After all, making a TV series is not a movie, so it is impossible to slowly sharpen the lens.

There was an action scene today. When the martial arts stand-in Dao Wei Ya was doing the action, his foot twisted a little. This is normal.

Probably because she was really tired from the road show, the two didn't chat for long. After finishing her skin care steps, Liu Yifei quickly lay on the bed and fell asleep quietly, without even bothering to turn off the video.

"Good night, Miss Liu."

Zhou Yutang cut off the video call and browsed film and television information.

The box office of "Super Body" has exceeded 50 million for two consecutive days. It still maintains a high film schedule and high attendance rate. The cumulative box office easily exceeded 150 million.

It was released simultaneously in North America and also delivered a three-day opening weekend of US$48 million.

This result is definitely not a big hit, but it is better because of its good reputation. It also happened to be stuck in the half-month gap between "Godzilla" and "X-Men", and it successfully took over the first weekend box office championship.

According to Bob's old sconce.

Many well-known filmmakers there have praised the film, and with the help of Warner's channels, it will soon be screened in more than 60 countries and regions, which is a matter of making more money or less.

Resisting the urge to open the champagne in advance, Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw news about charity.

"Something happened to a fund?"

Not long ago, the Queen of Heaven and her ex-husband's Yan Ran Angel Fund were exposed for corruption. Recently, even the Kung Fu Emperor's charity fund has also received a lot of negative news.

In the past few years, the Kung Fu Emperor has gradually faded out of the film and television industry, except for the "Fuji Detective" that supported his godson.

On the contrary, another eldest brother who is as famous as him, Jackie Chan, is always strong.

After "Zodiac", he restarted "Police Story", and now he has launched the "Army of Heaven" project.

At the end of the report, there was even a mention of the Jiangdong Charity Fund.

Zhou Yutang has always quietly donated money for charity behind the scenes and has not issued any relevant press releases.

However, there are always netizens with great savvy who have found out about Jiangdong Fund's donation of schools in poor areas. Many netizens jokingly gave Zhou Yutang the title "Principal Zhou".

The box office performance of "Super Body" was amazing. This year's Magnolia Awards also came to an end on the 13th at the Oriental Art Center in Shanghai.

Han Sanping, who retired with great success, showed his face again.

As the chief producer and chief director of "In the Name of the People", he won the Gold Award for Best TV Series.

Mr. Wu Gang also took a leave of absence from the crew of "Qing Yu Nian" to win this year's newly established Magnolia Best Supporting Actor award with Mr. Zhang Zhijian, who had already finished filming.

Both teachers were very excited and solemnly expressed their gratitude to Zhou Yutang on the spot.

In this circle, there is no shortage of actors with good acting skills. It takes a little luck for Qianlima to meet Bole.

One is Li Dakang and the other is Gao Yuliang.

Even if it takes more than ten years, he will definitely be a classic character in the hall of Chinese TV dramas and be talked about by the audience.

This is enough for them to eat for a lifetime.

besides.

Wang Zhiwen was awarded the title of Magnolia TV Emperor for his wonderful performance in "The Real Man".

Although Lin Yufen successfully won the best director for "Reply 1988", it was a pity that she lost the silver medal competition to "If Life Deceived You".

With a huge disparity in votes, Liu Shishi won the most popular actress in the audience's online voting. She also unfortunately lost to Sun Li from "Hot Mom" ​​in the competition after Magnolia.

Fans of the Reply series were dissatisfied and started posting frantically online.

"A shady story! Absolutely shady! Even if it won the Silver Award for TV series, why should Magnolia lose to that crappy show?"

"Just like 'I married my scumbag loser II | I forced my Oedipus-loving boyfriend to marry and he didn't commit suicide. It's really awesome.' You can also look at Magnolia. What are the judges thinking in their minds?"

"Haha, Sun Li is too embarrassed to attend to receive this award."

Of course, there are fans of Sun Li who come out to argue, and passers-by from all sides join the group.

"How old is Liu Shishi? If it weren't for Zyt's support behind the scenes, she would never have won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress. Sister Li has much more experience than her, and she deserves the award."

"The above person, check your conscience. Are "Reply 1988" and "Hot Mom" ​​of the same level?"

"I'd like to say that Shishi's performance in "Reply 1988" is definitely worthy of a Magnolia Award for Best Actress."

The Magnolia Awards are announced, and Jiangdong Entertainment is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Fans of various companies on the Internet quarreled, mainly over who will win the Magnolia Award for Best Actress.

However, Liu Shishi herself was very calm. When her friends comforted her, she just smiled indifferently.

I was still in the "Tuner" crew and received a call from Sun Li to explain.

"Sister Li, let's not talk about this. I'll go to your house to see Erbao some other day after I finish filming."

Liu Shishi behaved as generously as usual, and her attitude towards Sun Li was still gentle and intimate.

She was also very open-minded about awards.

She agreed with Zhou Yutang's words, "If I win, I'm lucky, if I lose, I'm doomed."

It's okay to win the Magnolia Award once, but it's hard to win it twice.

Because this involves the rules of the game in the circle.

Liu Shishi didn't understand it before.

Now she is slowly beginning to understand it.

Compared to the Magnolia Award, she actually wants to meet Zhou Yutang more, after all, the two haven't seen each other for a while.

In mid-June, the total box office of "Coming Home" reached 378 million, and the daily box office dropped to hundreds of thousands.

The box office potential seems to have been affected by several Hollywood imported blockbusters in the same period. It is still a breath away from crossing the 400 million threshold.

Lao Mouzi himself is quite satisfied with this result.

According to him, "It's already very good to have such a box office."

"This is my way of experimenting with the coexistence of art and business. The next film "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" will continue this experiment."

Zhou Yutang: "-_-||"

Compared to Lao Mouzi's artistic pursuit, he is more vulgar.

A realistic art film has already recovered its costs just by relying on overseas copyrights, and the domestic box office share is pure profit.

What else do you want?

By the way, we talked about the casting of the script "Zhou Chu".

Wu Zhenyu and Jin Shijie have already signed contracts. The remaining important female lead, the hairdresser Xiaomei, Lao Mouzi finally chose Ke Jiayan.

This girl is also an old acquaintance of Zhou Yutang.

It's hard to say whether the casting director Fu Lulu made a fuss about this relationship.

Anyway, Zhou Yutang thinks that the national teacher has a good eye for selecting actresses.

Ke Jiayan's performance in "Monga" is amazing, with a kind of pure and a little broken and pitiful feeling.

By the way, Zhou Yutang glanced at the list of other actors and said to Li Shuang,

"Sister Shuang, please arrange the celebration party for "The Return" and give out red envelopes at that time."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Shuang agreed very readily.

She has worked with Zhou Yutang for so many years and they have a tacit understanding.

Zhou Yutang has made a lot of money, but he will never monopolize all the benefits for himself.

People who work with him will never suffer any loss.
