Chapter 372 The Past That Cannot Be Recalled
Chapter 372 The Past That Cannot Be Recalled
At the same time, in Lin’an Qihang Film and Television Media Company, Li Chen and several of his classmates were also closely following the pre-sale of “Academicians of a Great Country”.
In fact, the original release date of “Conquering Light and Shadow” was the National Day. At this time point, it should be a perfect match with a movie of this theme.
But after hearing Li Chen’s arrangement, Zhang Qing directly asked him to postpone the release date by 20 days.
Although Li Chen didn’t know why she did this, she was the largest investor after all, and she was also a legendary producer in the past, so Li Chen still followed her advice.
In fact, as long as they use the gimmick of “taking Kang Chi as the prototype of the story”, the popularity of this movie will definitely not be low.
But Zhang Qing felt that this was a bit of over-consumption of Kang Chi, and there was no need for it at all.
Just postpone the release date for 20 days and change the name of the movie. Even if Kang Chi’s name is not mentioned in the whole promotion process, the popularity can rise instead of fall. Moreover, the name of the movie “Academician of Great Power” can make the story more perfect and make the audience more enjoyable. At the same time, it can elevate the theme and significance of the movie.
Why not do it?
”Looking back now, Sister Qing obviously guessed that Mr. Kang would be elected as an academician.”
”We are all hindsight experts now. We racked our brains a month ago, but we still couldn’t figure out her purpose…”
”No wonder she became a legendary producer in the film industry before. This sensitivity to popularity and opportunities is something that ordinary people can’t learn at all.”
”…”
Naturally, the few people were very excited about the popularity of movie ticket pre-sales, but at the same time, the pressure was even greater.
It was the first time for Li Chen and his roommates to shoot a feature film. Although they were very satisfied with the film, as a creative team that had watched it countless times, they still had some creative filters or even aesthetic fatigue. They were not sure what the audience would think after watching it.
If the reputation of the film collapsed at the first screening, it would be useless even if it was popular in the early stage.
In addition, in order to make this film, the roommates were willing to give it their all. They were supposed to graduate in June this year, but they temporarily suspended their studies last year.
The main thing is Li Chen. He is a public figure to a small extent. Everyone knows that he is still a student. Not only does he skip classes every day, but he also takes all the students in the dormitory to skip classes together…
This incident also caused a lot of discussion. Many people think that the school gave Li Chen the privilege of skipping classes because of his background. If it were someone else, he would have been expelled long ago.
This put a lot of pressure on Lin’an Academy of Fine Arts, so they gave them two choices.
Either take a year off or drop out.
Naturally, several people chose to take a year off, and then come back to study for another year after finishing the work.
And after filming this movie, they also have a graduation work.
Using a movie that has been released in theaters as a graduation work, this gold content is definitely better than that of a professional film school. Perhaps the photography department of Lin’an Academy of Fine Arts also made this calculation…
Time came to October 22nd, and “Academicians of a Great Country” premiered at midnight in major theaters across the country on time.
The screening rate on the premiere day was as high as 76%.
The main reason is that all the powerful movies during this period have been released during the National Day. Now that it has been almost a month, the audience has almost seen what they should watch, and the popularity has dropped sharply. And the new movies are basically bad movies that the producers themselves have no confidence in competing for the box office during the National Day…
So in this period of transition, there is usually no movie that can be played, and the box office is naturally not ideal.
However, “Academicians of a Great Country” is obviously an alternative.
This movie, originally called “Conquering Light and Shadow”, did not have a strong promotion at the beginning, and the popularity on the Internet was also tepid. It was not until Kang Chi was elected as an academician of the two academies that it was suddenly temporarily renamed “Academicians of a Great Country” and then vigorously promoted, and the popularity exploded directly.
Although the distributor deliberately avoided using Kang Chi as a gimmick, as long as you have read the introduction and trailer, you can definitely guess that the prototype of this story is Kang Chi, who has just become an academician.
Isn’t this a wave of cinemas? So under the huge demand for watching movies, major theaters directly increased the screening rate of “Academicians of a Great Country” from 28% to 76%…
Los Angeles, Wanda Cinema Zhongzhou Store.
Although it was already early in the morning, the viewing hall was already full of people. Before the movie started, everyoneEveryone is talking about it.
I don’t know when it started, but Kang Chi’s name, as a representative word in China in recent years, has become a bridge connecting many people. Even if they don’t know each other, if they talk about Kang Chi, they seem to be able to chat for a few words.
In the viewing seat, Ye Yuan just stared quietly at the big screen that was still showing other movie trailers.
Speaking of which, he and Kang Chi had some intersections on the Internet.
It was because he shot a high-level black spoof video that caused Daqin Optics to have its first explosion of orders… The content of that video still makes him regret it.
As for the reason, it was not because of the content of that video,
but because of the Daqin Optics 50mmF1.4 that he threw away after shooting that video!
This small action made him miss a full five million!
According to the appraisal of the ‘masters of antique collection’, the first generation of lenses of Daqin Optics were all made by Kang Chi himself. In total, less than 200 of these handmade lenses were sold, and 120 of them were recycled by Daqin Optics for old-for-new ones, and their whereabouts are currently unknown.
Excluding some people like Ye Yuan who threw them away casually,
According to statistics, there are less than 20 handmade lenses of the first generation in existence…
At a collection auction some time ago, this lens was directly sold at a sky-high price of 5 million!
This made many people like Ye Yuan who lost 5 million regret it.
No one knew at the beginning that Kang Chi could create such a glorious history…
And everyone believed that this was just the beginning of Kang Chi’s legendary life.
After all, he is only 31 years old now.
Therefore, these lenses with great collection value will definitely continue to appreciate in the future…
The only thing that made Ye Yuan feel relieved was that he listened to the advice and grabbed ten second-generation lenses at that time.
And the second-generation lenses are also divided into two types,
One is still hand-polished, and the other is made on the production line.
The shell that Ye Yuan bought is quite exquisite, and you can tell at a glance that it was made on the later production line.
Although the collection value is much lower than that of hand-rubbed goods, there are also people who offer 3,500 yuan each to buy him, but Ye Yuan didn’t sell it.
35 yuan, a hundred times in just four years, this investment can be considered a blood profit.
Just as Ye Yuan was still recalling the past that he couldn’t bear to look back on, the big screen finally lit up with a dragon logo, and then there was no company or employee list, just two lines of words:
[This story is adapted from real events]
[This film was shot using Daqin Optical Tongwu Camera and Daqin Optical Lens throughout]
Then it started directly.
”One hundred million!”
The opening scene is a close-up of a person’s mouth.
The image quality of this close-up is quite amazing, even every pore on the skin can be clearly seen, and the sense of space and air created by the dust under the backlight also sets off the atmosphere of the picture very well.
”As long as you can sign this agreement and promise not to make lenses in the future, one hundred million will be immediately transferred to your account!”
The camera slowly moved back with these words, and an actor who looked like Kang Chi appeared.
After hearing this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
“You think too much…”
The first scene of the movie is that Suo Ni hopes to buy the protagonist ‘Kang Tao’ with 100 million, but is rejected by Kang Tao verbally, and the two sides become enemies.
”Fuck, did this really happen?”
”Is it so real?”
”Hahaha, you want to buy off our President Kang with 100 million, don’t you see how much our President Kang is worth now.”
