Disaster Artist

Snapped. refresh.

Snapped. refresh.

Snapped. refresh.

Once, twice, three times... The sound of hitting the Enter key to refresh the keyboard is not loud, but it is particularly clear in the quiet office.

Then, Ji Xu finally raised her head, met the rustling gazes of the entire office, and nodded lightly.

"Hmm. It's 1.1 billion."

Friday is about the same as Saturday and Sunday, and "Raid 2" has stepped out of a miraculous box office curve, sweeping 1.12 billion over the three-day opening weekend.

Write history!

This also means that "Raid 2" not only writes the history of March and spring, but also subverts the pattern of the four seasons of the year.

Now, the spring, summer and holiday seasons all have a billion-dollar premiere weekend, while the winter and autumn seasons are still lagging behind.

Once upon a time, the forgotten, neglected and ignored spring gear has now ushered in a counterattack, reversed the situation, swept away the decline, and the spring is bright.

Not to mention the spring season, with such results and data, even if it is placed in the summer season, it is worthy of a wave of major news media, detonating a frenzy of heated discussion; not to mention that it is still happening in the cold March, in addition to shock and joy, more There was more of a fright, and it really shocked everyone.

Of course, people in the industry need to analyze and discuss in depth, what is the reason behind it, is there a hidden pattern, and can the same pattern be copied and pasted?

Perhaps, this is just a beautiful accident, and the industry cannot replicate it at all, so even if the historical record of "Raid 2" is brilliant, it is of little significance.

But what no one can deny is that "Raid 2" breaks the shackles and changes fate, and indeed subverts people's long-standing stereotype of the spring season, even if it is just a "one-off" miracle, it is the same as "Dream World" , enough to leave a strong stroke in the spring.

Heavy!

Incredible absolute weight!

hum.

The whole conference room was filled with joy, and there was no need for cheers or applause to feel the boiling blood.

One look, one smile, one expression and one action, every gesture reveals contented happiness and joy, pure and simple.

So that the air also burned together, filled with a fragrant sweetness, which seemed to be the breath of adrenaline, which was gushing out.

This is indeed a moment to celebrate and a moment to remember -

Not long ago, at the Golden Book Award, Lu Qian regretted not being able to go further, but Li Wenzhen still won an important trophy for Blue Whale Films. While the company expressed joy and encouragement, it was inevitable that they were a little embarrassed, because this year's melee and Chaos is indeed a rare opportunity.

Turning a corner, the highly anticipated "Raid 2" not only ushered in a blowout, but also set a record, pushing Lu Qian's momentum to a new height in one fell swoop. The unspeakable loss and regret were finally vented out, and the joy overflowed like this. Come out and bloom beautifully.

Sure enough, the director is the director! Lost to the east, harvested mulberry.

call……

Ji Xu let out a long sigh, even though his heart was still beating wildly, after all, this is Blue Whale Pictures' first one-billion-dollar work.

Maybe in the future, Blue Whale Pictures will have countless similar moments, but the first time is special after all; moreover, it came so quickly and suddenly, breaking the imagination, it was a bit of a surprise, and the gushing emotion became more and more It was so hot that it almost scalded his throat.

In the end, Ji Xu still regained her composure, which is a good thing to be happy about.

"...Mr. Ji."

Xiu Zhongjun's calm voice came from his ears. Although he was happy, he did not lose his temper.

"You said, should we adjust the propaganda plan?"

Ji Xu didn't know why, "What do you mean?"

Xiu Zhongjun further explained, "I mean, should the director be involved in some publicity?"

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Xiu Zhongjun could also feel that the noise in the conference room had settled down, one second of noise and one second of tranquility, and it was difficult to ignore the stark contrast—

On the eve of the release of "The Raid 2", Qu Yushi once reported to Lu Qian to determine the publicity schedule this time. Of course, they still focus on Lu Qian.

As a result, Lu Qian was shot directly.

"The situation is different now. The crew doesn't need me to be in charge of publicity, and Guan Zhou can do the job."

"What's more, this work doesn't need overwhelming exposure. Some renderings are enough, and there is no need for me to come forward."

"never mind."

Of course, Qu Yushi knew that there was a clear gap between the effectiveness of Lu Qian's personal promotion and Guan Zhou's promotion, but in front of Lu Qian, he didn't dare to say a word, he obediently replied "I know", and then retreated. came out.

Actually, this is not the first time.

All along, Lu Qian insisted on a point of view, he is a director, he should stand more behind the scenes, concentrate on his work, there is no need to expose too much.

The same is true for the entire Lanchuan. The actors are basically responsible for the promotion of the film. The directors often sit behind the scenes and control the overall situation. Only a few directors such as Kun Dabin are active on the small screen and cheer for their works.

Lu Qian, just wanted to focus on directing work, in his original words,

"I don't have enough time to shoot movies and study scripts, don't keep me exposed, okay?"

During the "Love" publicity period, Lu Qian was basically invisible. If it wasn't for Tomson to call in person, Lu Qian would not appear in "Tomson has something to say".

The same is true for the "Raid 2" promotional period.

As Lu Qian said, Guan Zhou's popularity is high now, even if his eloquence is mediocre~www.readwn.com~, as long as he appears on the TV screen, the audience is willing to buy it.

That's enough, isn't it?

Therefore, Lu Qian didn't even think about it, and refused directly.

And now?

Xiu Zhongjun also realized the power of his words, but explained it anyway.

"I know what the director is thinking, but things are different now."

"'The Raid 2' may have the opportunity to go further, not to mention whether it can set a film history record, but it can indeed rewrite our company's record."

"I think the movie needs some push, maybe the director will come in and things will be easier."

In Xiu Zhongjun's view, Lu Qian is the image representative of Blue Whale Pictures. With him and without him, things are still different.

Now that The Raid 2's premiere box office has written history, why didn't they take the chance and take it to the next level?

Xiu Zhongjun looked around, but there was only silence, no one spoke, which made Xiu Zhongjun a little helpless—

Are you too scared of Lu Qian?

"If the director saw this scene, what do you think he would think? Is he so scary in your mind?" Xiu Zhongjun complained.

"Where is!"

"Respect, we respect the director."

"The director is a principled person."

"We're just thinking, thinking."

"President Xiu, don't talk nonsense, you can eat food, but you can't talk nonsense."

There was chattering, bustling, and everyone distanced themselves from each other.

Xiu Zhongjun was also a little helpless, and then looked at Qu Yushi.

Qu Yushi waved his hands again and again, "If you think so, tell the director yourself." That expression of fear of being avoided made Xiu Zhongjun wonder whether to laugh or cry.

Is the director some kind of devil?
