Chapter 740: Box office exceeds 1.5 billion

The script was handed over to the editorial department for refinement, and the preliminary preparations were about to begin. Liang Wen was always in charge of these things. Yang Hongxia didn't see Liang Wen in the meeting room, so she couldn't help asking Xiao Ye, "Where's Director Liang?"

Xiao Ye drew his attention away from the box office data of "Liang Zhu", thought about it for a moment, and told Yang Hongxia with certainty: "Director Liang is in the editing room!"

When Yang Hongxia heard the word "editing room", she immediately realized, "By the way, Director Liang was in charge of editing Zhou Xiang's film."

This campus youth film is the first time that Zhou Xiang plays the leading female role and it has attracted box office success. Yang Hongxia was still very concerned about the film, so she personally asked Liang Wen to preserve as much of Zhou Xiang's beautiful side as possible during editing.

After all, in a movie like this, everyone's main focus is still on the heroine, and the role of the hero is more inclined to supporting.

Therefore, when appropriate, the male lead's role can be sacrificed a little bit, and more shots of the female lead can be retained to highlight Zhou Xiang's beautiful image in the movie.

Of course, doing such a thing will easily lead to dissatisfaction among the male protagonist himself, his agency, or his fans. Moreover, performance contracts are now so detailed that there are clear numerical regulations on the shots and duration of the characters played by the artists in the movies.

Therefore, unless necessary, the producers will not deliberately delete a certain character's shots.

It is impossible for Yang Hongxia to promote Zhou Xiang by stepping on Lu Bingyang. Instead, she hopes that Liang Wen will pay more attention to Zhou Xiang during the editing process. After all, the camera is more demanding on female artists, and the same goes for the audience.

No one will say anything if a male artist is photographed with a few ugly shots, but if a female artist is photographed with a few unpleasant angles, the audience and the media will always hold on to it. The friendly ones will say that your expression is too exaggerated, while the unfriendly ones will say anything.

When Yang Hongxia came to the editing room, she couldn't stand the smoky and foggy environment all day long, so she opened the windows and doors, turned on the exhaust fan, and turned on the air-conditioning blowing mode. Only after a lot of ventilation could she finally take a breath.

"I said you guys are practicing here every day?"

Liang Wen sat in front of the computer with a vicissitudes of life on his face: "Isn't it just cultivating immortals!"

I worked hard to finish the editing of "Liang Zhu" some time ago, and now I have to edit "Longing for the Courtyard". Zhou Xiang's movie needs to be edited after it is finished, and Li Xiaodong's sitcom is being edited while it is being filmed.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Liang Wen didn't have to edit the show "Treasure". It was done directly by Emperor TV, so Liang Wen didn't feel like his hands were full of scissors and he couldn't cut any more.

Liang Wen was thinking about going to the capital to participate in the filming of the "Treasure" program! As a result, he was sealed in the editing room by these tasks and couldn't get out. Isn't his face full of melancholy?

Yang Hongxia smiled and said, "Thank you Director Liang and editor for your hard work. I will definitely toast you two at the celebration party for "Liang Zhu" to thank you for your contribution to our film!"

When Liang Wen heard about "Liang Zhu", he couldn't help but ask, "How much is the box office now?"

Yang Hongxia casually mentioned a number: "1.5 billion."

"This box office is great! It has completely reached our original expected goal!"

Liang Wen was very satisfied. After all, when the filming of this movie started, or even earlier, Liang Wen already knew that the box office of this movie would not be as good as "A Chinese Ghost Story".

This is determined by the market and the subject matter of the film itself. The box office of literary and artistic films cannot be compared with that of commercial films. "A Chinese Ghost Story" is more appealing than "Liang Zhu" in terms of subject matter and plot, so the box office is destined to be higher.

Lin Fan, Liang Wen, and Yang Hongxia all had already reached a consensus on this matter.

Moreover, considering the investment of "Liang Zhu", the box office of 1.5 billion is already very impressive, not to mention that it is only the second week now, and there are still two weeks before the movie is officially released. The box office may even exceed 2 billion! Thinking of this, Yang Hongxia couldn't help but sigh. For the sake of box office and the gimmick of the 10 billion club, other artists have to cooperate with publicity throughout the entire period from the start of filming to the release of the movie, and work hard on roadshows, but in the end, they can't see how much the box office can be increased.

But Lin Fan started out with "A Chinese Ghost Story" which had a box office of 4 billion yuan. Now "Liang Zhu" has earned 1.5 billion yuan and is expected to break 2 billion yuan, easily achieving the passing target of 10 billion yuan box office.

At this rate, Lin Fan only needs to shoot one or two more movies to truly achieve a 10 billion box office achievement. How old will Lin Fan be by then? Twenty-three? Or twenty-five? Tsk! I can't think about it. When I think about it, Yang Hongxia feels that she is so awesome that she can actually establish a cooperative relationship with such an excellent artist. No, I have to put my hands on my hips for a while!

However, Yang Hongxia did not forget the original intention of her trip: "Director Liang, how is Zhou Xiang's movie going?"

Liang Wen pulled out the rough cut of the film and showed it to Yang Hongxia: "It's OK. Zhou Xiang's acting skills are more than enough for this film, and she looks pleasing too. After the movie is released, she will definitely gain a lot of fans.

More importantly, Lu Bingyang's acting skills have also improved a lot. I was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the filming requirements of movies after always acting in TV dramas, but I didn't expect his performance to be quite good! "

If Zhou Xiang's acting skills are excellent, then Lu Bingyang's acting skills are good, which definitely achieves the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Yang Hongxia was very happy to hear Liang Wen's words. Despite her fear of the rough cut, she watched a short clip and said, "Hey, it looks okay. It's not as scary as when I watched A Chinese Ghost Story before."

Yang Hongxia also went to watch the rough cut of "A Chinese Ghost Story" on a whim after it grossed 4 billion yuan.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Even though there was a finished film as a basis, Yang Hongxia couldn't recover for a long time after watching the rough cut. She couldn't believe that this was a movie that could take 4 billion at the box office! Fortunately , she didn't watch the rough cut at the beginning, otherwise Yang Hongxia wouldn't dare to set a box office target of 1 billion, let alone the 4 billion later.

However, the rough cut of this campus film was unexpectedly good. How could Yang Hongxia not be surprised?

Liang Wen laughed: "Costume dramas themselves require a lot of camera work. If the logic, music, and switching are not done well, it will be really bad. But campus films are different. They are common scenes in real life. As long as there are no logical flaws, the audience will fill in some small details in their minds.

So the rough cut is not that scary. But the finished film won’t be much better than the rough cut, because there’s not much that can be adjusted.”

In other words, the version Yang Hongxia sees now is actually not much different from the final version.

But Yang Hongxia is already very satisfied: "This is Zhou Xiang's first movie. It's really good to have such an effect. After all, not everyone is as perverted as Lin Fan and can become a blockbuster immediately."

Liang Wen deeply agreed: "That's true!"

The number of votes has been a little low recently, is everyone celebrating the New Year? But the number of subscriptions has not decreased.
