Chapter 985 Why drink alcohol if you are underage? Zhang Zifeng's anticipated pre-sale box
Chapter 985: What should I drink if I am underage? Zhang Zifeng’s expectations...the pre-sale box office successfully exceeded 100 million!
After more than an hour, the playback of "La La Land" officially came to an end.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Fei took Liu Yifei's hand and led the main creators of "La La Land" onto the stage.
"How's it going? Everyone? We're pretty good at dancing, right?"
“Excellent!”
"nice!"
“So beautiful!”
There were echoes from below, especially the fans in the back row, who kept screaming.
"Thank you all so much for your support."
After the brief dialogue with the fans at the scene, the media reporters finally ushered in the interview session.
As a movie, whether it is literary or commercial, box office is always an unavoidable topic.
No, as soon as the interview started, Sina's reporter brought up the issue of box office.
"Director Chen, what are your box office expectations for "La La Land"?"
As soon as the question came out, everyone in the audience turned their attention to the stage.
Chen Fei raised the microphone and chuckled: "November is coming to an end. There are quite a few blockbusters released this year, but the box office results are somewhat unexpected.
Considering that the box office of the two previous "masterpieces" was a bit low, I will venture to say that the box office of this "La La Land" should be higher than the combined box office of those two friendly movies. "
No one from Huayi came today, so no one knew how they were feeling.
But Yu Dong came today.
After listening to Chen Fei's words, although he had a smile on his face, his smile was obviously a little stiff.
This time, Bona made a big splash, but only a few drops of rain fell, and he was ridiculed by the outside world.
After more than ten minutes, the interview session officially ended successfully.
Some of the guests present had to rush to the Golden Horse, so after saying hello to Chen Fei, they left in a hurry.
Just like Fan Bingbing.
At present, under the premise that "La La Land" and Liu Yifei do not participate in the Golden Horse Awards, she is the most popular candidate to win this year's Golden Horse Awards.
After all, throughout this year, apart from Liu Yifei, who won the Venice Best Actress Award, she was the only one to win the Category A Film Festival Award.
Regardless of whether this award is valuable or not, it is also the best actress award at a category A film festival, and ordinary female stars cannot win it.
Then, during this period, Xu Yinghua and Zhang Aijia continued to spread rumors in front of the media that Fan Bingbing was very hopeful of winning the award, which made the outside world certain that she would definitely win the Golden Horse Best Actress!
After all, one of the two people who spoke out is the chairman of the jury for this year's Golden Horse Awards, while the other is a member of the Golden Horse Committee.
Both of them began to promote Fan Bingbing's hope of winning the award. Doesn't that directly prove that she has high hopes of winning?
Because of this, she couldn't wait to rush to Taipei in advance to continue doing the final public relations.
But at this moment, watching her disappear at the entrance of the venue, Chen Fei felt an inexplicable "familiar" feeling.
I vaguely remember that the last time Gong Li went to the Golden Horse to win an award, her voice was particularly high at first, and she seemed to be on track to successfully win the award.
But in the end, Jin Ma tricked her into becoming a stepping stone for a Taiwanese actress!
I don’t know how lucky Fan Bingbing is this year?
After the premiere officially ended, it was time for the banquet.
And here is the best channel for communication!
"Director Chen, this is the Zhao Jinmai I told you." Guo Fan led the little girl who had just signed a contract to his studio to Chen Fei.
"Hello, Director Chen, I respect you!"
Zhao Jinmai was holding a glass of red wine in his hand and was about to pour it into his mouth as he spoke.
However, the next second, she could not move her hand, because Fade Chen's hand had stopped at the rim of the wine glass she was holding.
"Are you an adult? Have you started drinking red wine?"
As soon as this question came up, Zhao Jinmai was confused on the spot.
Since her debut at the age of 10, she has participated in many gatherings of the crew, and drinking red wine has long been a habit.
There were even some producers on the crew who gave her liquor, deliberately trying to see how drunk she would be.
But now, Chen Fei's words "Are you an adult?" made her somewhat confused.
After a moment, she had no choice but to reply: "No, I just turned 14 this year."
"Come here and talk to me after you change your drink." Fade Chen waved his hand and snatched the red wine glass from her hand.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai looked at Guo Fan subconsciously.
"Go ahead. Coke or Sprite will do. You can get whatever you like and then come find me."
"OK."
Zhao Jinmai turned around and left obediently, feeling quite surprised.
She was already prepared to get drunk again today. After all, there were so many big names at the scene, and she didn't know how much red wine she would have to drink if she met them all the way.
But now, Chen Fei suddenly asked her to get a drink, which relieved her "crisis".
Anyway, the drink is not drunk, she can leave here smoothly, and she can also meet many great people with Guo Fan!
When she thought of this, she felt uncontrollably happy.
"This company seems to be exactly what the rumors say. The atmosphere is very special!"
Here, the banquet is being held lively.
On the other hand, press releases related to the premiere of "La La Land" have successfully entered the hot search lists on major portal websites, Weibo, social platforms and other places.
"At 10 o'clock this morning, the premiere of "La La Land", produced by Feiyue Films and starring Chen Fei and Liu Yifei, was held in Beijing."
"It is reported that none of the Huayi staff arrived at the premiere of "La La Land" today..."
"Many film critics commented at the scene that "La La Land" will definitely become the most amazing top-level song and dance masterpiece in the history of Chinese film!"
"Director Chen Fei said in an interview that the box office performance of the film may reach the sum of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" and "I Am Not Fan Jinlian"... Bona Chairman Yu Dong smiled stiffly."
"Thousands of fans in attendance praised "La La Land" on Weibo, saying that today was the most 'heartwarming' premiere event."
"The critic score of "La La Land" is as high as 9.0, and the pre-sale box office has exceeded 80 million, and it is expected to exceed the 100 million mark on the day of its official release!"
Although everyone is envious of the fact that a movie with singing, dancing, and literary themes is about to exceed 100 million in box office on its first day, they are no longer surprised.
Because this movie stars Chen Fei and Liu Yifei.
According to the popularity of the two of them, coupled with the blessing of the Venice Best Actress Award, it should be easy to get a box office starting at 500 million, without any objection.
Unless the movie is very poorly made and its reputation is particularly bad, then there will be a box office disaster.
But... how could a movie that was shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival and helped Liu Yifei win the Best Actress Award be so bad?
…
Time came in the afternoon, and taking advantage of the popularity of the premiere, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei ran several movie promotion events together.
On the 23rd, the crew of "The God of Medicine" started filming again after taking a day off.
Today’s Weibo hot search list is still occupied by the press release of “La La Land”, but at the same time, a lot of new news has emerged.
"The movie "I'm Not Kim Lien" has hit a new low at the box office, with new daily box office cuts of 10 million yuan again, closing at 21.03 million yuan;
It is reported that the current comprehensive screening rate of the film's theaters is only 17%, Pan-Asia Cinemas is 5%, and Wanda is 2%, and the latter's screening time is all at midnight..."
"Co-produced by Cekerton's Duxin Culture, Jiaxing Media, LeTV Video and other companies, directed by Liu Yizhi, with Fei Huijun and Li Xiaoliang as screenwriters;
The urban emotional TV series "The Negotiator" starring Yang Mi and Huang Zitao, and starring Guo Pinchao, Mao Linlin, Yang Feiyang, Zhao Wenxuan and others, officially launched today. "
"The crew of "The Wandering Earth" announced that it has been confirmed that post-00s actress Zhao Jinmai will play the lead role of the female lead 'Han Duoduo'."
~
It was only released for 5 days, and the box office dropped from more than 50 million to more than 20 million, and the film schedule dropped even further!
After this wave, "I am not Fan Jinren" can be said to have just "full health", but the next second it met the end of "remaining health".
No matter what Feng Xiaogang did with Golden Horse, Wanda ignored him at all, and the films that should be demoted were still demoted.
As for the "begging for film arrangement" operation, except for the response from Anle Pictures, no other theater chain paid any attention to him.
Because this movie offended so many people.
Especially the group of college students who are the main consumer groups are almost completely offended by Feng Xiaogang's many tricks.
In this case, it would be useless even to arrange movies for him, because no one would want to watch it at all!
Everyone is particularly resistant to the movie "I'm Not Phan Kim Lien", and students at East China Normal University have been shouting for theaters to remove the movie.
Based on this, the film is completely hopeless.
Can you tell from Huayi's attitude?
Except for Feng Xiaogang who is still keen on publicity and popularity, Huayi Company has long since stopped.
In the opinion of the two Wang brothers, since the ending of "I'm Not Phan Kim Lien" has been decided, it's better to keep a low profile for a while and then use "The Death of Romance" to test Wanda's attitude.

"Yang Mi...she is really a model worker!"
During lunch, Liu Yifei looked at the online press release about the launch of the TV series "The Negotiator" and couldn't help but sigh.
Just a few days ago, the costume drama "Drunken Linglong" starring Yang Mi was announced to be launched. Just a few days later, "The Negotiator" was launched again.
Obviously, she has entered the state of joining the group again!
"It's for gambling. It's normal. Once you sign something, you have to keep doing it, otherwise you will have to pay huge liquidated damages."
Chen Fei did not communicate too deeply with Liu Yifei on this topic, but changed the subject and asked about another thing:
"What's going on with "The Young Lady"? Why did I see this show being sued online?"
This news came out in the morning. Although it was always suppressed by a pair of invisible hands, so that it did not become a hot search, it was still seen by Chen Fei.
"I don't know either." Liu Yifei blinked her big innocent eyes and echoed: "Yanyan said in the group that 12 writers jointly filed a lawsuit in the court, claiming that this TV series plagiarized 16 works, a total of 763 sentences, 21 plots are the same..."
"Huh? Is it already accurate to this level?"
"Yes, it seems that the author of the original novel plagiarized or something..."
"It won't affect Tang Yan and Luo Jin, right?"
"Probably not. They are just actors and are not involved in the creation of the work. The details still depend on how the lawsuit is fought."
"Yeah, got it."
Chen Fei nodded lightly and forgot about the matter in the blink of an eye.
If he needs help, Luo Jin will definitely say nothing. There is no need to pay special attention to him.

In the afternoon, the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" continued.
At the same time, at Zhang Zifeng's studio, her agents, assistants, and family members were gathering in the conference room to discuss her next move!
"The role of Han Duoduo in "The Wandering Earth" has been taken away by Zhao Jinmai, and according to the news I received, the other party has officially signed a contract with director Guo Fan's studio..."
The meaning of the agent's words is very obvious: Zhao Jinmai successfully got this role because he agreed to sign a contract with Guo Fan Studio.
This is also a common exchange of interests in the industry, so no one is surprised.
Zhang Zifeng’s mother spoke up and said: “Since we have lost the role of ‘Han Duoduo’, we have to look for the next suitable resource for Zifeng.”
"That's right." The agent sitting opposite lit a cigarette and smiled confidently: "I have already communicated with Mango. They are planning to produce a campus youth-themed TV series and have invited Wang Junkai, Wang Yuan, Yi Yang Qianxi are the three current traffic niches with the highest traffic and popularity.
But now, they need a 'little strategist' type character, and the character's image is very similar to Zifeng's. "
Hearing this, Zhang Zifeng and her family's eyes lit up!
Zhang Zifeng's father asked directly: "Can we win this role?"
"Okay!" The agent nodded first, and then added: "However, there are conditions for getting this role."
"What conditions?"
"The introducer wants 60% of the film's salary."
"What? 60%? So high?!" Zhang Zifeng's mother frowned with dissatisfaction.
"The competition for this role is very fierce. If you don't agree, you can find someone else."
At the critical moment, it was Zhang Zifeng's father who directly made the decision: "60% for 60%. We can pay the full amount in advance, as long as the other party can ensure that Zifeng can pass the audition."
"Haha, okay, Mr. Zhang is still very generous. I will go and communicate with him right away."
After speaking, the agent stood up and walked out of the office.
Watching the other party leave, Zhang Zifeng's mother suddenly frowned in dissatisfaction: "Why use 60%? At most 40% is enough. I think he is planning to put 20% of it into his pocket, right?"
"He has resources and connections, but we don't. If we don't agree to the conditions, we won't even get the role."
Hearing this, Zhang Zifeng's mother suddenly fell silent.
They paid a high price to hire this agent, wasn't it just to use his hands to gain resources in the industry? Now it is naturally easy for people to manipulate them.
But at this moment, Zhang Zifeng's father suddenly changed the subject: "I plan not to renew the contract with him when it expires next year."
"Um?!"
Zhang Zifeng and his mother both turned their heads, their eyes full of surprise.
"If you don't renew the contract with him? Then who should we look for? It's impossible to sign with a brokerage company, right? The commission over there is even more terrifying!"
"I'm going to talk to Feiyue Film and Television and affiliate the studio with them. Zifeng can't keep working in the field of TV series. We must enter the film industry later, otherwise we will fall behind step by step!"
"Affiliated with Feiyue Film and Television? Is this possible? Can people agree?"
"I'll find a way to find an intermediary to ask. After all, our Zi Feng has also acted in "Tang Detective 1", so we must still be in love."
"Okay, there's no harm in giving it a try anyway. If we can really establish a relationship with Feiyue Film and Television, there will definitely be no shortage of film resources."
"Yes, that's what I thought..."
At this time, Zhang Zifeng, who was holding the script of "Li Lei and Han Meimei" in his hand, was listening to the conversation between his mother and father, and his eyes were filled with crystal light.
In fact, she doesn't like this agent who is a philistine, greedy, and loves to take advantage.
But for the sake of resources, she had no choice.
If we can reach cooperation with Feiyue Film and Television, that would be great!
When she was filming "Tang Detective 1" before, she heard Zhang Ruoyun say that the treatment at Feiyue Film and Television was not very good, and both the company atmosphere and resources were very generous.
If she can reach a cooperation with this company, maybe her acting career will be better in the future!
…
After a night, the time came to the 24th.
Looking around, today the entire film industry is almost focused on the Golden Horse Awards.
The main reason is that the venture capital meeting and shortlist reception for this year’s Golden Horse Awards are about to begin.
At the same time, many real-time updated press releases also appeared on the Internet:
"Jiang Wenli and Gu Changwei arrived in Taipei and were interviewed by the media. They expressed that they would support their niece Ma Si Chun to compete for the Golden Horse Best Actress Award!"
"Wu Luoying, a well-known screenwriter in Bay Area, claimed that she is very optimistic about Zhou Dongyu's wonderful performance in "July and Ansheng"."
"The nomination of the bad artist Ke Zhendong for the Best Actor in the Golden Horse Awards has once again caused controversy. A famous mainland scholar commented that the Golden Horse Awards are challenging the moral bottom line!"
"It was revealed that Director Feng Xiaogang and the jury chairman Xu Anhua talked until three in the morning..."
"Fan Bingbing attended the cocktail party, wearing a black long skirt, with a plump figure and a graceful and elegant posture."
The Golden Horse Awards obviously invested a lot of money, so that various news releases were constantly refreshed on Weibo and major portals.
However, when the time came to the afternoon, a news release about "La La Land" came from behind and firmly occupied the top of the hot search list!
"The song and dance art film "La La Land", produced by Feiyue Film and Television, has successfully exceeded 100 million in pre-sale box office. Please look forward to its first day box office performance!"
