Chapter 312: Don't mess with Li Qian, that madman
On the evening of the 4th, in a high-end club in Haidian District, after more than half a month, Huang Zhongjun, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian and others gathered here again.
More than half a month ago, they reached an alliance here, taking advantage of Li Qian's unpopular realistic theme this time, coupled with the rush of production, if they want to seize the rare opportunity, at least they must frustrate Li Qian's spirit.
After a week of preparation, everything went smoothly before this, exactly as they thought, after the water army, the media, and various big Vs created momentum, the doubts about "I am not the God of Medicine" on the Internet are getting louder and louder.
However, just as they were about to go all out and increase their efforts to completely label "I Am Not the God of Medicine" as shoddy and blood-eating steamed buns, they didn't expect Li Qian to fight back.
Li Qian's counterattack was not surprising to them, but what was unexpected was that it was so rigid that he didn't leave any affection.
You must know that even the most serious actresses are amiable on the surface.
Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, the marketing team of the four has all hacked each other over the years, and they have not let go of any opportunity.
Inside and outside the industry, even ordinary netizens know that their relationship is not good.
However, whenever they appear in public, when they appear together, they are like good sisters, and there are few conflicts in public, and even if there is, it is a competition at most.
For example, when you attend an event, you don't want to appear first, drag it in the nanny car, and you have to wait for others to go first, and you will appear in the finale.
That's all it takes, it's impossible to name and tear it up in front of the public.
This not only made Ma Xiaogang and them very aggrieved, but several major companies were also in a passive situation.
After being silent for a while, the initiator Yu Dong spoke first, "Everyone, what now?"
Although Li Qian didn't name them, the "CEOs" had obviously included them, and they were only a thin film away from tearing their faces, and they broke it with a gentle stab.
Moreover, the extremely arrogant and vulgar Weibo also showed Li Qian's confidence, which not only made the audience who had always believed in Li Qian more and more determined, but also made many viewers who were a little shaken before full of confidence in Li Qian again.
That's the hard part.
The wavering audience regained their confidence, and they began to waver a little.
As long as Li Qian is not stupid, if he does not have absolute confidence, he will not issue such an excessive Weibo.
Although it was well hidden, Huang Zhongjun still noticed that Wang Changtian and Zhang Zhao were beginning to waver.
For these two people, Huang Zhongjun originally looked down on them.
Wang Changtian likes to be opportunistic, loves small-budget comedies, always dreams of being small and big, and is cautious about big-budget blockbusters.
It is rare to invest in four costume blockbusters "Painted Wall", "Hongmen Banquet", "Four Famous Catches", and "Tongquetai", but the total investment of "Painted Wall" is only 50 million, and it rubs the popularity of "Painted Skin", Deng Chao is also one of the most famous actors in the Mesozoic Era, and the director is Chen Jiashang, the director of "Painted Skin".
The other three movies also envy most of the funds for "The Four Famous Catches", and Deng Chao and Liu Yufei were also on fire in November last year and this year's Spring Festival, plus the investment is only 90 million, the theme itself is famous, and it is also a very safe high-quality project.
"Hongmen Banquet" has invested more than 100 million yuan, although the lineup is also very strong, but Li Rengang's performance is not good, Wang Changtian simply found Starlight International to make a big head, and he took a small head, and he took the distribution right, and he made a steady profit.
"Tongquetai" has the largest investment, even if Zhou Runfa joins, Wang Changtian has also brought a lot of investment, and he has taken a small head to get the distribution rights, and he also seeks stability.
The four blockbusters, one is more stable than the other, and it also gives Wang Changtian an extra nickname in the circle "stingy king", saying that it sounds good is cautious, and if it is ugly, it is timid, and it is also the easiest to run away and become a traitor.
As for Zhang Zhao, he was kicked away by Wang Changtian before going public, and he couldn't look down on him even more, if it weren't for Boss Jia who had Lay's behind him, he wouldn't have been able to sit with them.
However, if you look down on it, you still need to unite their strength now, Huang Zhongjun smiled and said, "But at least there is good news, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be screened on the 15th, although there will be some time before it is released, but as long as the reputation of the screening is controlled, when it is officially released, Li Qian will not be able to return to the sky!"
Yu Dongdao, "That's right, Li Qian doesn't want to use the screening to ferment word-of-mouth, then we can also control word-of-mouth, and the scale of the screening must be very small, only a small number of people will be able to watch the screening at that time, and if there are fewer people, we will have a great chance." ”
That's right, there are few people who watch it, even if the movie really has a good reputation, only some people will praise it, and their huge resources are enough to suppress it.
Thinking about it this way, the two who were originally a little shaken also threw that idea behind them, and they did everything they could, and they could divide the victory and defeat in ten days, so they had to stick to it.
Even if the quality of the movie is really good, they can still cover the small part of the audience's voice.
......
Li Qian's Weibo affected not only a few major companies and directors, but also the entire industry.
And the reactions of Ma Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, and Lu Chuan also made the melon-eating peers in the circle realize that Li Qian is definitely not easy to mess with.
Almost everyone has the same idea in their hearts, don't mess with Li Qian, a madman.
That's right, as a public figure and a director, he can name and scold the other two big directors, saying that they make bad movies, don't count in their hearts, have thick skin, and provoke wars.
When will your movie be released, and when will I release it, it is obvious that I want to kill the other party. Fun reading little books
This is not what a madman is!
Some directors who make literary films have commented on Li Qian's movies before, and literary film directors must have nothing to say about commercial films, although they don't say it explicitly, but the Spring and Autumn brushwork, although it must have been used, are a little worried that Li Qian will not remember them.
Although the literary film circle and commercial films do not go hand in hand, except for individual directors, most literary film directors want to mix in the mainstream commercial film circle, and no one wants to make a feud with Li Qian, especially a director who is so unruly and scolds people at every turn.
......
"Crazy?"
Li Qian was a little stunned after learning from Du Yang and the others that someone had given him such a nickname.
"I'm special, which sand sculpture gave me a nickname!"
Li Qian was speechless.
It's just that there is no way to verify where the source is, and I can't find anyone if I want to.
The audience nicknamed themselves the fast gunner, this is another madman, and there is really no one, the level of taking the nickname is too bad.
However, others said in private that Li Qian had no choice, and the weak would chew their tongues behind their backs.
There are still ten days left before the screening, and Li Qian saw that Ma Xiaogang had no intention of aligning the line, so he continued to rest.
On the 5th and 6th, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "The Adventures of Li Xianji" successively held a start-up press conference, and the filming officially started, Li Qian did not appear, Guo Fan became famous after the Spring Festival, Teng Huatao is also a well-known TV drama director, there is no need for Li Qian to come forward, just help promote it when the movie is released.
also settle down, rest at home, and wait for "I Am Not the God of Medicine" to pass the review and see the industry trends.
"Martial Arts" starring No. 4 Donnie Yen was released, and the box office on the first day was only 15 million, and in this era of 20 or 30 million on the first day, 15 million is nothing.
Compared with the lineup of Chen Kexin, Donnie Yen, and Jin Chengwu, it is quite low.
The story is very simple, Donnie Yen, a person in the rivers and lakes, was incognito for some reason, got married and had a wife and children, and lived the life of the common people happily, but he was ruined by two wicked people who had no intention of breaking into Taoyuan, and he was forced to reluctantly lead to a paranoid otaku to catch Jin Chengwu's pursuit, and finally revealed his identity and caused the original gang members to come back to pursue his whereabouts.
In fact, the movie is okay, and the shooting is very good, but Chen Kexin is not a simple commercial film director, so it is naturally difficult to sell well.
One of the more interesting scenes is when Donnie Yen and Tang Wei want to have sex, Tang Wei wants to wash the fish maw and use it to make TT, but Donnie Yen doesn't like the fishy smell of the fish maw.
People in martial arts films also have to use TT, Qing court dramas are all about the emperor not wanting a concubine or palace maid to get pregnant, and the eunuchs will massage their lower bodies to ensure that the emperor's descendants cannot stay in the woman's body.
There is also hanging the palace maid upside down and washing the underneath with saffron oil.
It is estimated that the emperor does not use such a thing as a swim bladder for his own sake.
In addition to "Martial Arts", "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" only had 17 million in a single day on Monday after getting 140 million box office in the first three days of the first weekend.
60 million on the first day of Friday, only 80 million on Saturday and Sunday, and 17 million directly on Monday, which is a complete plunge and makes people look sideways.
However, what is more serious is the rating on the comic network, which plummeted from the original passing score of more than 6 points on Tuesday to 4.8 points, and a large number of people gave one star, and the proportion of one star was as high as 60%.
The audience doesn't like the main theme movie in the first place, and they don't like the main theme movie even more.
But this is too ruthless, if it weren't for the political task of China Film, Li Qian would have doubted that an opponent had deliberately done it.
There is no way, the comic can only turn off the rating and comment functions of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", and does not display the rating, nor does it display any comments, even "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is also brought together.
Another farce in the film industry, and the movement is not small.
Time passed day by day, and on the 11th, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" finally passed the review and got the release permit, and not a single shot was reduced.
Li Qian was a little surprised, thinking that in order to show his authority, Optoelectronics would have to cut one or two shots.
It seems that he has a certain amount of influence, and Han Sanping has not helped a little, plus before public opinion is formed, no one knows how influential "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be.
After passing the review, a large number of copies were immediately expedited and put on the whole country, and a number of large security companies were found in various provinces and cities to take charge of a region across regions, and the bodyguards of several companies worked together to protect the same copy.
A large number of copies were sent to all parts of the country by high-speed trains and airplanes, the cinemas and screenings were determined, and Grava officially began pre-sales.
Although it is a large-scale movie with enough screenings, compared to tens of millions of audiences, it is still not enough to watch.
Time flew by, and on the afternoon of the 15th, Li Qian also went out, ready to go to the cinema to see the reaction of the audience in the first round of movies.
At the same time, countless audiences, film critics, media, and directors across the country also entered the cinema for the first time.
