Chapter 503: "Changjin Lake" swept the military at its premiere, with a box office of 6 mi
"Director Zhou, I wish "Changjin Lake" a big box office success!"
"I wish 'Changjin Lake' a big box office hit, Director Zhou!"
On September 9, "Changjin Lake" held a grand premiere at the Art Cinema of the China Film Archive.
It is worth mentioning that this premiere is only the "main stop" of the premiere of "Changjin Lake".
Because the premiere of "Changjin Lake" was not only held in Beijing, but in 33 cities across the country!
As the most important blockbuster released above, how could it be weak in terms of scale?
The ceremony must be top-notch.
However, it is impossible for main creators like Zhou Qing, Xu Ke, Lin Chaoxian and others to appear in so many cities at the same time.
They just need to attend the premiere at the “main station” in Beijing.
As for the premieres of the other more than 30 "sub-stations", they were conducted through real-time connections.
Although we were unable to interact with Zhou Qing and other big names in person, we have to say that the enthusiasm at each branch was extremely high.
Needless to say, the premiere of "Main Station" always aroused warm applause and screams during the interaction between the main creators.
The enthusiasm almost blew the roof off the house.
"I have been making movies all my life, but this one makes me most nervous because it is truly unprecedented."
"As early as 19, Director Zhou and Director Xu started the corresponding preparations, but later encountered force majeure and had to suspend the work."
"When the filming officially started, Director Zhou took the lead in shooting in Zhejiang Province. There were three director teams and three crews, plus a mobile team. At one point, the number of people reached more than 7000. It was really too difficult."
In front of reporters from all sides, producer Huang Jianxin recounted some of the filming process of "Changjin Lake".
Many of the behind-the-scenes stories were revealed to the public for the first time, completely arousing everyone's interest.
"Director Zhou, you, Director Xu, and Director Lin are working together. Will you encounter any disagreements during the process? How will you resolve any disagreements?"
It is extremely rare in the entire Chinese entertainment industry for three top directors to jointly direct a movie.
Naturally, the media would not miss this huge gimmick.
"In fact, my collaboration with Director Xu and Director Lin is very pleasant. We often come up with some very interesting creative ideas, which will be seen when the movie is screened later."
“Of course, sometimes we have disagreements, and the three of us will sit together to discuss them.”
Zhou Qing smiled when he said this, and praised Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian subtly.
“Although Director Zhou is the youngest, he is actually the one with the most ideas, and many of his ideas are very constructive and refreshing.”
“It’s a rare opportunity to co-direct with Director Zhou. I learned a lot.”
Xu Ke also reciprocated the favor and praised Zhou Qing.
Naturally, Lin Chaoxian would not be the odd one out, and he also contributed his own commercial boasting to the other two directors.
In short, in everyone's opinion, the three directors were having a great time.
"Ya Wen, you and Yi Yang Qianxi play a pair of brothers. How do you cultivate the brotherhood between you and Wu Wanli?"
Top celebrities like Zhu Yawen are naturally the focus of reporters' interviews.
"Because I also have children. My two daughters have been born for several years. I will project the feelings I have for my own children onto Yi Yang Qianxi."
"Yi Yang Qianxi is a very sincere child. Although he doesn't talk much, he is very sincere about movies. I see a lot of myself in him."
The microphone was handed to the four-character brother very naturally.
The four-character brother also praised Zhu Yawen and several directors.
It drew more applause from the audience.
In a nutshell, the pre-screening segment of the movie was very effective.
It successfully ignited the enthusiasm of everyone at the "main station" in Beijing and other "branch stations".
In this case, there is no need to say much about the film's screening effect.
What's more, the movie "Changjin Lake" itself is also very well made and of high quality.
Although the pace is a bit slow in the early stages, the necessary background must be explained.
When Wu Wanli secretly followed Wu Qianli into the Seventh Company and successfully joined the Seventh Company, the pace began to speed up.
From being bombed by enemy planes at the beginning of the march, to supporting the Sixth Company in blowing up the communications tower, to the final decisive battle at Changjin Lake.
It can be said that it was exciting from beginning to end, making everyone's adrenaline surge and holding their breath, not daring to relax.
In the end, Lei Gong was killed by the flare that was used to divert the enemy, and many people shed tears.
The ice sculptures in the last one or two shots are even more awe-inspiring.
"Wonderful, so wonderful!"
"Director Zhou's movies are as solid as ever!"
"It takes a lot of effort to make a mainstream film like this, only Director Zhou can do it!"
Wow!
Before we knew it, the movie was over and there was enthusiastic applause in the theater.
During this period, there were also occasional sounds of admiration from various places.
When the main creators saw the extremely enthusiastic feedback on the scene, they all showed excitement on their faces.
Become!
This movie is a success again!
Especially La Peikang and Jiao Hongfen, the two bigwigs of China Film, could not help but nod frequently.
Although "Changjin Lake" is an authentic commercial film, it is more than just a commercial film.
There is a more different meaning behind it.
——That’s right, although La Peikang had already withdrawn when the filming of "Changjin Lake" officially started.
But this project was initiated by La Peikang after all, and it was La Peikang who facilitated the cooperation with Zhou Qing.
So when the film was released, Zhou Qing naturally invited La Peikang to the premiere.
The new and old bigwigs of China Film Group sat together, firmly sitting in the C position, chatting and laughing, and dominating the whole audience.
The layout is very carefully controlled.
"Lao Jiao, 'Changjin Lake' is even more exciting than the previous 'Operation Red Sea'."
La Peikang's voice sounded, and he expressed such admiration to Jiao Hongfen.
"Yes, compared to Operation Red Sea, the scenes in The Battle at Lake Changjin are more grand and the theme is more profound."
Jiao Hongfen nodded heavily and gave an extremely positive response to "Changjin Lake".
He is an expert in the industry and knows exactly how huge a project the filming of "Changjin Lake" will be.
No other director could have completed the film in such a short period of time and with such quality.
That is simply an impossible task.
Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, I’m afraid only Director Zhou has such ability.
"Director Zhou, as both are mainstream films, do you think the box office of "Changjin Lake" can surpass your "Operation Red Sea"? "
During the post-screening interview session, the old issue of box office was unsurprisingly brought up again.
"Compared to Operation Red Sea, The Battle at Lake Changjin is an all-round upgrade. Personally, I think the viewing experience of The Battle at Lake Changjin is better."
"So I am confident that the box office of 'Changjin Lake' can surpass 'Operation Red Sea'."
This time Zhou Qing was no longer conservative or low-key, but answered in an extremely affirmative tone.
The atmosphere on the scene was immediately hyped up.
"In other words, Director Zhou, are you confident that the box office of 'Changjin Lake' can reach more than 50 billion?" The reporter from Jiulang Entertainment caught this point and immediately asked a follow-up question.
The box office of "Operation Red Sea" is more than 40 billion, so if it exceeds 40 billion, wouldn't it be more than 50 billion?
"I think 'Changjin Lake' is worth more than 50 billion yuan in box office revenue."
Facing the gazes from everyone at the scene, Zhou Qing gave such a confident answer.
"Then Director Zhou, do you think that The Battle at Lake Changjin can surpass The Wandering Earth and break a new record?"
On the other side, the reporter from Sougujia was not willing to be left behind and asked the same question.
"Since you asked me, I will set a small goal. I hope the box office of 'Changjin Lake' can break the record of 'The Wandering Earth'."
“I hope everyone from all over the country will give me support and help me realize this wish!”
Well, it’s just a small goal. Many people at the scene were complaining in their hearts, saying that this is really a “small goal”.
……
"The premiere of 'Changjin Lake' was held in Beijing. Zhou Qing shared his experience of working with Xu Ke and Lin Chaoxian on the film."
"It's so shocking! The premiere of "Changjin Lake" received rave reviews and the audience stood up and applauded!"
The grand premiere of "Changjin Lake" was very effective, and related information immediately flooded the entertainment section.
Especially with the premiere in 33 cities across the country, this scale of events was unprecedented and made "Changjin Lake" even more popular.
Now basically the whole circle is discussing the movie "Changjin Lake", including the audience.
The vast majority are ready to buy movie tickets for "Changjin Lake".
As for another blockbuster "My Fathers and Me", it also received some attention.
But it has to be said that as a blockbuster released above, the data of "My Fathers and Me" in all aspects are far worse than that of "Changjin Lake".
The two are not on the same level at all.
As for those other movies?
Well, I have completely become cannon fodder.
There was basically no splash.
Not to mention that it cannot be compared with "The Battle at Lake Changjin", it is even completely crushed by "My Fathers and Me".
This year's National Day movie season has basically become a carnival for "The Battle at Lake Changjin", with "My Fathers and I" also taking a share of the spoils.
The basic pattern is still very clear.
In addition, as a reborn person, he knows the box office potential of "Changjin Lake" better than anyone else.
So Zhou Qing, as the director, should have been the most worried one, but he returned to the luxurious villa refreshed and relaxed.
It seems as if this movie has nothing to do with me at all.
"You have a really big heart."
The girl couldn't help but be convinced by Zhou Qing. As an outsider, she seemed more nervous than Zhou Qing.
"In terms of all the data that can be collected, The Battle at Lake Changjin is far ahead, and its data is not much worse than that of The Wandering Earth."
"Logically speaking, the box office of The Battle at Lake Changjin is likely to surpass that of The Wandering Earth."
Zhou Qing leaned back comfortably on the sofa and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Having said that, you are the director of 'Changjin Lake'!"
Liu Yifei admired Zhou Qing even more.
If it were her, she would definitely be worried unless the actual box office statistics were released.
"Relax, Sissi, the box office of The Battle at Lake Changjin won't be bad."
Zhou Qing said to Liu Yifei confidently.
Seeing Zhou Qing so confident, and thinking that Zhou Qing had never failed before, the girl couldn't help but shake her head.
Yes, I was worrying for no reason.
How could the box office of "Changjin Lake" be bad?
The girl put those thoughts aside and started talking to Zhou Qing about other things.
"Zhou Qing, what do you think of these styles?"
The girl then turned on the computer and placed several renderings in front of Zhou Qing.
Seek Zhou Qing's opinion.
Those were actually some baby room decoration renderings.
Although the girl's belly hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy recently, there are some things that need to be prepared in advance.
"Just make up your mind."
Zhou Qing took a quick look and didn't offer any specific suggestions.
In his opinion, the baby room must be safe and comfortable, and visual beauty is secondary.
In this regard, the two of them have found the top team in the industry, so there is naturally no need to worry.
"I know it. It's useless to ask you."
The girl couldn't help but complain.
Zhou Qing never had any high requirements for such matters.
Basically, the girls have the final say.
However, the girl still clicked on one of the designs and continued to ask Zhou Qing: "Is this the one?"
"can!"
Zhou Qing took a quick look and didn't offer any opinion, just nodded.
This matter was agreed upon so happily.
The girl began to discuss some other related matters with Zhou Qing with great interest.
By the way, I'm also keeping an eye on the box office of "Changjin Lake".
"Director Zhou, congratulations! The first-day box office of "Changjin Lake" reached 6.2 million yuan, setting a new record again!"
The fact is just as Zhou Qing said. On September 9, "Changjin Lake" officially landed in major theaters across the country.
The corresponding box office data was exposed at the first opportunity.
I have to say, it really blinded many people's eyes.
6.2 billion!
It’s more than 6 million.
It broke the 5 million first-day box office mark in one fell swoop, leading Chinese-language films into the 6 million first-day box office era!
None of the colleagues in the circle could remain calm.
You have to know that this is only the data as of September 9, and it’s not even the official National Day holiday yet.
If it was so intense before the holiday, how intense will it be after the holiday?
Good guy.
What a great guy.
I’m afraid the total box office of “The Battle at Lake Changjin” will really break 50 billion as Director Zhou said at the press conference, right?
This is not a hot period like the summer vacation or the Lunar New Year period.
It’s just the National Day holiday.
If you add up all the holidays, there are only seven days!
But even in this period, can "Changjin Lake" make 50 billion?
fierce!
It's really too fierce! (End of this chapter)
