Chapter 92: Persecution Paranoia!—2/5

The filmmaker of "1942" also stood up and expressed his righteous words: "The film is the hard work of the creative team, and I hope this malicious attack can be stopped as soon as possible." ”

There are also some legal experts who are busy brushing up on the heat: fundamentally, resorting to law is the only effective way to solve the problem, but it is extremely difficult to gather conclusive evidence for this phenomenon. This situation can only be avoided if there is a consensus at the industry level to focus marketing on oneself rather than on competitors.

"Many people focus their marketing on their opponents and attack their opponents, but is this method effective? Hit your opponents, and consumers will come to see you? This logic is not valid, but many people are precisely this kind of psychology, subconsciously not confident. ”

Then the Directors Guild also stood up: "The China Film Directors Association opposes any directors participating in the leadership of the use of improper means to promote films. The key to the healthy development and prosperity of Chinese films lies in the continuous improvement of content and quality. The use of various online trolls to gain exposure will have a negative impact on the industry as a whole. All members of the association are advised to discipline themselves!"

"Regardless of the reason and situation, professionals should not participate, organize, or condone it, once this bottom line is crossed, the audience's basic integrity of the film director will be lost. Website scoring is an external behavior of the audience and the industry, and it is better for professionals and teams not to participate in it. ”

Zhao Jinsong was also asked about the water army when he was interviewed, and he smiled: "The movie itself is a mass media, and this kind of thing has a temporary impact at most, and the theater schedule looks at the attendance, theme, and word of mouth, just a reference!"

Although the online rating of a movie can affect the impression of a film by some audiences, it is "basically useless" to the box office, and most viewers are also skeptical about the current ratings of some domestic film review websites!

"As for "The King's Feast" crying that he was smeared, I think the main reason is that the movie does not conform to the public's aesthetics..."

"In this world, there is no other group except for your own audience is the water army, saying hello is the audience, saying that you are not good is the water army. It's too narcissistic, isn't it? If a person has this kind of enlightenment, he won't be able to make a big difference in his life. If a group of people are all aware of this, it is mentally retarded syndrome. ”

......

Shen Mengxi...

In the United States.

Three films from Studio S collectively participated in the awards season: "Burst Drummer", "Ex Machina", "Untouchable"...

This has to do with the popularity of S Studios and its appeal to Hollywood's quality projects!

After you didn't see "Hunting" last year, "Focus" and "The Revenant" all came to the door...

Large studios are developing in the direction of sequels and manga adaptations as a whole, and few companies are willing to invest in dramas and literary films.

It's also that Studio S can still play something new every year.

Of the three films, the highest-grossing film is of course "Untouchable", with a global box office of more than 700 million and a domestic box office of $280 million in North America.

Xiao Lizi starred in the third place at the box office of the movie.

The word of mouth is very good!

Xiao Lizi's performance received unanimous praise, and many critics said that 'Leonardo deserves another Oscar.' ’

Leonardo himself was also full of confidence, and then "Lincoln" was released, and Daniel Day-Lewis once again gave an amazing performance!

Conquered a bunch of judges...

Of course? Xiao Lizi is not without a win? It's up to people.

PR can't be stopped!

As for "Burst Drummer" and "Ex Machina", these two films themselves are niche? Increasing your impact with awards season? Open the market...

The situation is quite good, this year's awards season "Escape from Tehran", "Les Miserables" and the sudden rise of "Life of Pi"? Then there are "Untouchable", "Ex Machina", "Burst Drummer"...

Nancy told Shen Mengxi that all three films should be shortlisted for Best Picture.

"What are the odds of winning a prize?"

"It's hard to say..."

Nancy generally said that it is difficult to say? The basic means that there is little hope...

So? Shen Mengxi shrugged: "Then don't rush for the prize at any cost, so as not to lose more than you gain!"

......

Shen Mengxi's perception of Hollywood is very complicated, on the one hand, it is indeed a global film production center, and countless outstanding filmmakers are willing to come to Hollywood to realize their dreams;

So what's that? How to write entertainment essays in the past? Conquer the mainland, collect a bunch of harems by the way, and then conquer Hong Kong and Taiwan, and finally conquer Hollywood, this is a great consummation!

On the other hand...

Shen Mengxi has a natural value conflict with the United States - should it be said that the United States is a very beautiful country? But he shouldn't always want to bully you and can't help but shout 'NO!

The most shameless place in Lao Mei is the double standard? Economic and political double standards, he advocates a free economy? But when other countries' products occupy their markets, they immediately turn their faces and deny people!

Why did Shen Mengxi split Mengxi Studio? And let Burun House raise funds to prepare for listing?

Isn't it just that I'm worried about being targeted?

Also normal? He a communist came to the United States to develop? It is very likely to bring the thoughts of the old horse, so you have to beware!

In the area of ideological input and protection, Lao Mei is definitely the first.

After staying in the hotel for half an hour, Shen Mengxi was a little bored, do you want to call a few girls, and then win glory for the country?

As soon as he went abroad, he was a little bit of his original form.

Well, the common problem of successful people - encourage with Dongge!

Forget it, it's better to give it to Chinese actresses!

The phone rang, it was Ning Hao.

"Hey..."

Ning Hao asked him if he had hired a navy...

Shen Mengxi said honestly, "The propaganda team should have word-of-mouth maintenance, as for the hiring of water armies, this kind of thing is too low, only the teams in Hong Kong and Taiwan will do it!"

Ning Hao sighed and hung up the phone...

"Hey... Wait a minute, you've got the familiar tea in Los Angeles... Damn, hang up!"

Be all abroad!

Shen Mengxi clicked on the cat's eye and first took a look at the timely box office statistics, today is December 8th, Saturday, "One Shot to the End" was released for 12 days, and the single-day box office won a new high: 87 million!

The cumulative box office is 675 million...

Maoyan prediction: The total box office of "One Shot to the End" is 1.08 billion;

"Youth Pi" and "1942" completely fell behind, the former had 15 million in a single day, and the latter only had 14 million;

"The King's Feast"...

Don't mention it!

Crooked mouth smiled, clicked on Weibo to see the news...

Then he understood Ning Hao's words, what a bunch of fools said, "One Shot to the End", smearing "1942" and "The King's Feast"...

Does Nima's "King's Feast" still need to be smeared?

Shen Mengxi first took a look at a few big fans, such as Ji Huifu and Guangmu Haifeng's replies...

The two men replied succinctly: "What about the face? There is a persecution paranoia, right? Hire a navy to smear you? Who are you?"

There is nothing wrong with it, but the reason for the bad reviews is not explained, so Shen Mengxi typed excitedly: "Let me respond, why are there so many bad reviews!"

"Our film market, from a longitudinal point of view, has a balance, which I call the compensation effect, that is, if you make a bad movie, if it is a big hit, then the next work, even if the quality is qualified, the box office will not be good, there will be a large number of audiences who will not watch it and give bad reviews directly, this is called first impression!"

"Prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain, and this prejudice can be regarded as a direct feedback from the audience to the movie. ”

"Of course, if there is nothing wrong with your movie, at most three days, the movie will have a normal range of ratings!"

"We Mengxi Media do projects, if it is a big-budget movie, then the leading actor must be qualified in terms of word-of-mouth, acting skills, and image, if an actor is branded as a spokesperson for bad movies, we will never use him!"

"I think filmmakers should have an unwritten rule, that is, resolutely not to evaluate other films in the same schedule, this time I will make an exception and talk about "The King's Feast" and "1942"..."

"Forget it, don't say it, I'll just say one thing, whether it is "The King's Feast" or "1942", the box office performance is not underestimated, because the film chooses this kind of expression, which really lacks the function of entertaining the public. ”

"I've always wanted to say that when making a movie, don't get caught up in your own hard work, and don't expect the audience to praise your hard work. Your sincerity is in the work, the audience can feel it, that's your ability, if you can't feel it, it means that your ability is not enough!"

"We are in awe of this industry, the so-called awe, in addition to checking information and reading literature when making epic movies, and striving to give the audience a different display, but to restrain ourselves from having a glass heart!
