Chapter 265 A Hateful Person Must Suffer Miserably?
On the way, Zeng Li said: "The score has reached 8.2, and I told them that the quantity has been reduced."
"Oh, it's a bit fast." Yang Lingyue nodded.
"It's not entirely true, maybe half and half. The reputation among real audiences has also improved." Zeng Li looked very satisfied.
"Guidance is very important. Netizens are getting younger and illiterate. They will regard opinions they don't know where they come from as their own opinions, and believe them deeply. Although it is helpless, this is also the reason why this industry is easy to do now. Yang Lingyue said thoughtfully.
Zeng Li smiled, coaxed her boyfriend and said, "Okay, don't think about the documentary."
Yang Lingyue just sighed.
The documentary Zeng Li was talking about was "Internet Addiction Elimination" that Teng Congcong was filming. She called this morning and said that she needed to increase the budget. Of course, Yang Lingyue was not sighing for the extra 100,000 yuan that would be spent. He was just hearing with his own ears the people who had left the Internet. "Internet addicted teenagers" who left a huge psychological shadow after being admitted to a mental hospital.
Internet addiction is easy to get rid of, but trauma is difficult to treat.
Teng Congcong originally only went to photograph the 25 people mentioned in the book "War with Demons", but ended up meeting other people not mentioned, including two 17-year-old boys. After coming out of there, one was diagnosed with severe depression. , committed suicide many times, the latest time was cutting his wrists, and he is still lying in the hospital.
The other is a boy named Gao Tianyu who suffers from bipolar disorder. When the illness broke out, he stabbed his sister who tried to dissuade him. Because of his mental illness, he was sentenced to compulsory treatment in a mental hospital until the doctor determined that the situation no longer posed a threat. Discharged.
There must be something hateful about poor people?
Hateful people must suffer miserably?
After answering Teng Congcong's call, Yang Lingyue listened calmly, comforted Teng Congcong who was a little emotional, and told her to come back if she didn't want to take the photo.
Teng Congcong firmly refused, saying that he would continue filming and wanted to expand the creative team and interview group.
Yang Lingyue fully agreed, authorizing Du Xiaoyu to increase the expenses at any time, and would bear the expenses related to psychological treatment, including drugs, for respondents with family difficulties.
While talking, Yang Lingyue and Zeng Li arrived at the Silver Star Crowne Plaza Hotel on Panyu Road.
This is a movie-themed five-star hotel under the Shanghai Film Group. It was built in 1991 and has been one of the main venues of the Shanghai International Film Festival since 1993. It has received visits from many international filmmakers.
After being renovated in 2003, there are many "Shanghai-style movie" elements in the hotel's front desk, guest rooms, restaurants, public rest areas and other spaces.
In the hotel lobby, a very capable middle-aged man in his forties with a neat suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and slicked-back hair came over, followed by two younger men and a woman.
"Director Yang, Mr. Zeng, I am Xu Chongzhi, and I am the deputy manager of Shanghai Film Investment Department. This is Chen Bei, a top executive in our distribution department, and this is Li Li, a colleague in our department."
Yang Lingyue took a few steps faster, held Xu Chongzhi's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't dare, Mr. Xu, how dare I bother you to wait here."
Then he said to the man and woman behind him: "You two look very smart and capable. It's a pleasure to meet you."
A few people exchanged business compliments and greetings, and Xu Chongzhi said: "Please, please, several CEOs from the theater chain have already arrived."
It's not that Yang Lingyue is asking for help, he is asking for help. He has been working hard all day today.
Two managers from United Cinemas and another cinema, who were sitting in the box, saw the five people coming in. They stood up to greet each other, saying congratulations and thanking each other for their hard work.
Xu Chongzhi took the main seat, Yang Lingyue and Zeng Li sat next to his left hand, and to his right were two theater managers.
Chen Bei was next to Zeng Li, followed by Li Li at the door.
"Manager Wu, how many tickets has Director Yang's film sold in your theaters so far today?" Xu Chongzhi turned around and asked.
Manager Wu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Oh, I'll punish myself with a drink later. I knew I was going to have dinner with Director Yang and Mr. Zeng today, but I didn't bother to pay attention to the statistics. However, in our area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, today's The film schedule has generally increased again, definitely much higher than yesterday.”
"Then we have to toast and thank Manager Wu and Manager Zhang." Zeng Li added with a smile.
"We have to express our gratitude. It's rare to have a movie like yours in October."
"Yes, last time in the capital, Mr. Zeng, you kept hiding behind Director Yang and didn't even get a drink."
Two theater managers responded.
"Director Yang, what is the estimated box office of "Race"?" Xu Chongzhi asked at this time.
"China Film's estimate is 70 million, which is about the same." Yang Lingyue said.
Xu Chongzhi said puzzledly: "No, not to mention that today will definitely surpass yesterday, and tomorrow is still the weekend. According to this trend, it can reach 50 million in three days. How can it exceed 100 million in a one and a half month release cycle?" Bar?"
"Yes, yes. Based on your publicity and first-day box office, we speculate that the box office of "Race" is in the hundreds of millions. We all say that Director Yang is the fourth director in the billion-dollar club in mainland China." Chen Bei from Shanghai Film Distribution Department echoed.
Unlike later generations where movie ticket prices increased, movie theaters were everywhere.
Nowadays, if a domestic movie has a box office of over 100 million, it is worthy of special mention.
At present, the directors of the Billion Dollar Club that people know are the three major directors that people are familiar with.
"Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" by Lao Mouzi;
"A World Without Thieves" by Feng Xiaogang;
"The Promise" by Chen Kaige, hmm.
Later, after Crazy Racing was released, all media said that Ning Hao became the fourth person, and he also changed from a young director to a famous director, that is, a great director.
In fact, before that, in the 1980s, there were two films with a box office of over 100 million yuan, "The Mysterious Buddha" and "Shaolin Temple", and the ticket price at that time was about 0.2 yuan.
The directors were Zhang Huaxun and Zhang Xinyan respectively.
Needless to say, "Shaolin Temple" has influenced so many people.
As for "The Mysterious Buddha", the previous article mentioned it once, and at that time mentioned a point of view that it was the first commercial genre film in China.
The script of this film was written by Zhang Huaxun during his business trip to Shanghai Film Studio. He mentioned it to the leaders of Shanghai Film Studio and got affirmation, so he went to Leshan Giant Buddha with the people of Shanghai Film Studio to write it. The ownership of the script should belong to Shanghai Film Studio, but Zhang Huaxun of Beijing Film Studio wanted to direct it himself, and Shanghai Film Studio was not happy.
So Beijing Film Studio exchanged the script of "Midnight" for "The Mysterious Buddha", and Shanghai Film Studio was very happy and decisively agreed.
Beijing Film Studio immediately invested hundreds of thousands of yuan and produced this film.
Just like the controversial "Love in Lushan Mountain", the film was questioned by the art and literary circles at the time, but the masses loved it.
Shanghai Film Studio must be regretting it, oh, "Love in Lushan Mountain" was produced by Shanghai Film Studio.
