"Truth is ......"

Under the attention of everyone, Zhou Mu tilted his head and thought about it, his expression gradually became serious, and under the surprised gaze of a group of reporters, he said: "The quality of the movie is really not bad." “

“......”

A group of reporters really wanted to cry out.

If the movie is really good, how can it lose at the box office.

Today......

No, it should have been yesterday, and the box office on that day was less than 70 million.

In particular, professional institutions have also revised their forecasts, feeling that the total box office of this movie is hovering between 800 million and 900 million at most.

The investment of more than 100 million yuan is only 8 or 900 million at the box office.

It's a loss to vomit blood.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Mu's three smiles. The total box office has exceeded 3.3 billion, but there is still 40 or 50 million revenue per day.

One institution predicts that when the postponement ends, the box office should be 3.6 billion.

This means that the net profit of a movie is at least one billion.

A billion.

How many entertainment companies don't have this number in a year.

Not to mention, it's net profit.

Oh.

Of course.

The settlement cycle, that long time, the reporter will not care.

You must know that the profits of the movies shot by Qinghong Culture last year have not yet been settled. Some theaters and theaters, due to various reasons, are accustomed to dragging out and not giving money, not urging for a few months, and will not send the balance over.

......

The reporter was unwilling and decided to ask a different question, "Mr. Zhou, this is a good movie, why did it fail at the box office? The key is that word of mouth is not good." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhou Mu put on a serious thinking expression again.

After pondering for a long time, he said slowly, "I think...... For genre movies, everyone should be more tolerant...... The market needs to be diversified so that it can develop healthily...... Otherwise, there will come a day when everyone will often see the same movie in the market......"

？？？

A group of reporters were stunned and some lost their minds.

Vaguely, they seemed to have seen the official articles that they were very familiar with.

Their editor-in-chief and president held a meeting, and they were so verbosous and talked a bunch of nonsense, without any focus, but they couldn't find fault with it.

Official words, clichés, are very empty.

Trigi wanted to laugh.

This is what he taught Zhou Mu, and when dealing with reporters, if he doesn't want to reveal his thoughts, he can talk about him left and right. It seems that Zhou Mu practiced very well, and a group of reporters knew that he did it on purpose, but there was nothing they could do about him.

is so uncooperative, it's no wonder that they sacrificed a big killing move.

A middle-aged reporter said: "Director Zhou, I received news that due to the word-of-mouth and box office failure of "Zhang Bo", the boss intends to cancel its overseas release arrangement. ”

"But after all, this is a pre-arranged itinerary, and it can't be said to be canceled directly. So someone suggested that you should replace it with "Three Laughs". ”

"What do you think about this, Director Zhou?"

The middle-aged reporter's eyes were a little proud, he didn't believe that in the face of such an important matter, Zhou Mu was still stable.

After all, this is the first step towards internationalization, and many directors can't ask for glory.

In this case, if Zhou Mu has a pursuit, he will definitely change his tone, belittle Mo Huaixuan's "Zhang Bo", and praise his own "Three Smiles".

Besides, to tell the truth, it's not slander.

"Take three laughs instead?"

Sure enough, Zhou Mu spoke quickly, returned to normal, and was a little surprised, "Why didn't I know about this." ”

“...... You're missing, and no one can contact you. ”

A reporter couldn't help but complain, "If it weren't for Mr. Yang of Qinghong Culture, I would have insisted that you would go on vacation." I'm afraid someone will call the police and ask the police to confirm if something is wrong with you. ”

"I did take a vacation. ”

Zhou Mu smiled and said: "I'm too tired to make a movie, let's rest for a while first." ”

Look at the building is going to be crooked.

The reporter hurriedly pulled the topic back, "Mr. Zhou, "Three Laughs" replaced "Zhang Bo" and was released overseas, what do you think?"

"No idea. ”

Zhou Mu was very calm, "First of all, this matter is uncertain whether it is true or not. Secondly, if it is true, I will refuse. ”

"What?"

The others froze, their eyes wide.

Is this false modesty, or is it really pure and high?

I don't understand.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Mu took the initiative to explain, "Because my "Three Laughs" is not suitable. ”

He said bluntly: "It's no problem for "Three Laughs" to be released in China, because everyone in China knows who Zhang Bo is, and no matter how bad it is, they have heard of Zhang Bo and know some of his deeds. Therefore, "Three Smiles", which is based on folk tales, everyone knows that it is fictional, and it will not distort everyone's impression of Zhang Bo. ”

"But ...... to get a foreign release"

Zhou Mu couldn't help but shake his head, "In the case that most people don't know who Zhang Bo is, I'm worried that they will have preconceived ideas, thinking that Zhang Bo, the protagonist of the movie, is such a frivolous existence." Therefore, overseas promotion should be based on dramas. ”

"Zhang Bo" is a biopic, the story is told in a stable and clear manner. It may be useless to get it released in a foreign country, but it is absolutely right. ”

Zhou Mu said sincerely: "Besides, you don't have to make trouble all day long, what I just said is sincere......"

...... It's weird.

A group of reporters pouted, not believing it at all.

It's just that I don't believe in Zhou Mu's final addition, but I believe that he clearly recognizes the difference between "Three Smiles" and "Zhang Bo", and resolutely gives up the glorious move.

Because these words are to be published.

The people in the relevant departments must have been touched when they heard Zhou Mu's words. The reason why the great truth is the great truth is because it is a fact and it makes a lot of sense.

Using "Three Laughs" as a cultural promotion, many people must oppose it. But the higher authorities have a decision, and everything is not a problem.

But Zhou Mu was glamorous and said frankly that he would not accept it. The eyes of a group of reporters were naturally full of admiration.

Actually, they thought it was bad......

The real reason, Zhou Mu didn't tell.

He is mainly worried that foreigners can't understand the jokes of "Three Laughs" at all.

If the jokes of "Three Laughs" are not funny, it is just an ordinary movie, where is there any appeal?

The domestic box office exploded, and the foreign box office was bleak. Such a contrast has definitely triggered a series of reports from reporters. At that time, there must have been no good words.

He even felt that this was definitely some people who couldn't see his smugness, so they deliberately resorted to small means to see his jokes.

Hum.

Delusion.

Zhou Mu's dark thoughts, a group of reporters naturally can't know. When they sighed at Zhou Mu's open-mindedness, they also restrained some careful thoughts.

A reporter's conscience found that he temporarily let Zhou Mu go, and asked Yu Nian next to him, "Director Yu, you also watched the movie, how do you feel?"

In fact, this reporter knows that Yu Nian is more tactful. If you don't want to tell the truth, you definitely won't be able to set up any fierce information.

As expected......

Yu Nian opened his mouth and sighed, "How about this movie, I won't say...... I'm going to tell you, in fact, in our industry, the most difficult thing to photograph is historical figures. ”

"In this regard, Zhou Mu should be the most touched, why didn't he shoot one, the Zhang Bo in everyone's impression, but found another way and completely subverted Zhang Bo's image?"

Yu Nian said eloquently, "In the end, he is afraid. In other words, he is not sure that he can shoot the complex social attributes of Zhang Bo's existence. ”

Hearing this, the others couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Zhou Mu. I saw Zhou Mu with a smile on his face, and he didn't mean to refute it at all.

This is equivalent to default.

Some reporters hurriedly bowed their heads and hurriedly recorded them.

"Doesn't he know that if Zhang Bo's image is completely subverted, he will definitely be scolded?" Yu Nian shook his head and said, "He knows...... Why do you want to shoot like this when you know that you will be scolded?"

"This brings us to a perennial problem in our industry. How to show the historical figures, heroes and heroes we are familiar with on the screen?"

Yu Nian said slowly: "Famous historical figures, heroes and heroes are recorded in books, and we can only imagine what they look like, what their personalities, and what temperaments they are through the narration of words. ”

"The problem is that everybody thinks differently. ”

Yu Nian said helplessly: "So everyone has also seen that when evaluating the ancients, many people hold different views and cannot be unified at all. ”

"Even in the textbooks, I can only tell everyone in general, this is a good person, a bad person, what he did, and why did he do it...... This is a fixed standard. ”

Yu Nian shrugged, "So when we make this kind of movie, in order to take care of the feelings of most people, we generally use the most mediocre methods, the most conservative means, and make them carefully." ”

"So when such a conservative work is presented to the public, most people will not have any sense of amazement, they will only think that this is an ordinary movie. ”

"Zhang Bo is like that. ”

Yu Nian said politely: "Mo Huaixuan took the most stupid method, he didn't dare to destroy the image of Zhang Bo who was 'conventional', and he could only show Zhang Bo's joys and sorrows through the description from the side, that is, the performances of the supporting roles. ”

"Wow!"

A group of reporters were stunned, and then they were pleasantly surprised.

Is this a criticism? This is the biggest motivation for them to not sleep at three or four o'clock in the morning and brave the cold wind to come to the interview.

Come on!

The eyes of a group of people were burning, as if they were about to melt the remaining thoughts.

Yu Nian was very calm and continued: "Touching people with emotion, this idea is good. ”

The problem is that he does not foreshadow enough and ignores many details, which leads to a sense of separation between the audience and the characters in the play. In this case, the audience has no touch at all about the joys and sorrows in the movie, and naturally they will not find the movie good-looking. ”

Yu Nian said directly: "To put it mildly, this is an art film, but Mo Huaixuan always pondered how to move the film closer to a commercial film." ”

"After removing a lot of foreshadowing and side content in the movie, only Zhang Bo's 'ups and downs in life' remained, as well as war and beauty. Such a movie seems realistic, but in fact it is illusory, at most it is hilarious, and it can't move people's hearts. ”

Yu Nian's smile added two points of ridicule, "Anyway, I give this movie a score of five." ”

......

A group of reporters fell silent for a few seconds and then went straight to madness. They crowded over and inquired.

"Director Yu, if you give a score of five, does it mean that the movie is not a pass at all?"

"Director Yu, do you think that the failure of the movie is purely the reason for Director Mo Huaixuan?"

"Director Yu, you are so good at talking, say a few more words. ”

“......”

Yu Nian was on his lips and made a zipper gesture, which meant to be silenced. He stopped talking, and a group of reporters were very disappointed and pointed the finger at Cui Ji again.

But Cui Ji is so smart, seeing that the situation is not right, he immediately slipped through the gap. He is a screenwriter, not a director or actor, and he has no baggage to speak of.

If there is no image, the journalist will not write, and the reader will not bother to read it.

A group of reporters were helpless and looked at Zhou Mu again.

“...... Friends, that's pretty much it. ”

Zhou Mu smiled, looked at the time again, and patted his hands gently, "You still have to work in the middle of the night, it's really hard, I invite everyone to have a supper, be sure to appreciate your face." ”

"This ......"

A group of people looked at each other and finally did not agree.

Time is efficiency, and tomorrow's headlines are beckoning to them. This is related to funds and promotions, and a mere supper can't buy them.

Gone, gone.

A group of reporters also knew that if they continued to interview, they couldn't ask anything, so they retreated one after another and rushed in a hurry.

Zhou Mu sighed and looked at Yu Nian, "Thank you, please come out to stand up to the thunder." ”

Some words, he said and Yu Nian said, have different impacts.

After all, the two movies are still in the ring.

These reporters can make waves without wind, let alone have his handle, and they don't know how to arrange and stir up trouble. If the interpretation goes too far, it is not good for him.

But Yu Nian said that it would be no problem at all. No matter how the reporter provokes trouble, readers will not be so easily fooled by adding a layer of protective filters first.

This is also true.

Day 2......

One media after another has pushed their own headlines.

When everyone looked at it, they were surprised to find that Zhou Mu, who had been missing for almost a week, finally appeared, accompanied by Yu Nian and Cui Ji.

"Look, I guessed right, and I knew they were mixed up. ”

"Good friends!"

"This is called the gathering of things by likeness, and the division of people by groups. ”

"Director Yu is still domineering, and directly said that the movie failed. Unlike other people, including Zhou Mu, who twisted and pinched, they didn't dare to tell the truth. ”

"Zhou Mu is to avoid suspicion, to avoid suspicion...... Do you understand?"

"Director Yu makes sense, I also think that the movie "Zhang Bo" is too well-made, and there are no surprises. In contrast, it was "Three Laughs" that broke the stereotype and made me laugh from beginning to end, almost laughing to death......"

"Support the overseas distribution of "Three Laughs". ”

“......”

The Internet is very lively, and everyone is discussing this matter, which led to the counterattack of "Three Laughs" and the box office has risen by several million.

This is the traffic formed by the attention force, which has a direct impact on the box office.

Therefore, when a movie is released, the director, the star, and the producer always have to do something to come out, so that the public can talk about it after dinner.

As soon as I chatted like this, the popularity came up, which in turn pulled up the box office.

It's just that this attention is basically useless for street movies. The more popular the movie is, the more it basically does not increase the box office, but lowers the box office even more.

So even if he saw it, Yu Nian stood up and criticized "Zhang Bo". Whether it was Qi Hongxiang or Mo Huaixuan, neither stood up to respond.

If you respond, it's clear that you're giving your face to someone.

On the contrary, it was Brilliant Pictures, which unexpectedly spoke out......
