Chapter 81: A rake
When the time came to May 1, "Cheetah Killing" was released, and the box office reached 150 million in the first 24 hours on the first day, but it fell off a cliff the next day, only 87 million.
Even on the theater side, more than 25 percent of the film schedules could not stop the box office from diving, and it was only 53 million on the third day.
We all know that the Maoyan score is generally higher than other scores, and the score of this film is only 6.2 for three days after its release.
"There is no horse who blows this movie well, the story is not clearly told, it feels very inexplicable, the inexplicable heroine decided to protect the little boy, and was inexplicably killed by the organization and chased madly, can it be a little logical?" has been watched and evaluated 3 points.
"Originally, I saw that Liu Ye and Sister Mao had some hope for this movie, but I think this pair, as long as the director is not axial, and calmly tells the cause and effect of the story clearly, I think it will be successful. However, I really muttered about Director Niu's offline, excessive pursuit of lens beauty, fragmented, five points, three points for Sister Mao, and two points for Liu Ye, not to mention. "I have watched and rated 5 points.
"It's broken, but it's a lot of fun, and if I don't give me flashbacks from time to time during the fight, I can give it a passing grade. "I have watched and rated 5 points.
"Spicy chicken, I don't know what to play. "Reviewed 3 points.
Watching it doesn't mean that you really watched it, but it means that you did buy a ticket.
Integrating the May 1st file, the box office in the first week was less than 350 million, and you must know that the box office in the first three days added up to 290 million.
Niu Zhou knew the box office, his face was pale, and he had just finished talking to the investor on the phone, so he would not be scolded, and beating and scolding was just the lowest means for social people.
The production company probably means that Niu Zhou needs to pay full responsibility for the current box office, and did not interfere in any process during the filming.
It's not strange that the production company flips the table, it's strange if it's calm, at present, the box office will break 400 million at most, the decline is too great, and in the case of an investment of 180 million, it seems that the box office of 400 million has also returned to its original cost.
If you want to eat peaches, the box office is not more than 550 million, which is a big loss, and the production company of "Cheetah Killing" has also contracted the publicity, and the 180 million investment is not counting part of the publicity resources.
"Abandon the pawn to protect the car, abandon the car to protect the handsome. Niu Zhou muttered this sentence, and then turned on his mobile phone to dial Yu Min's phone.
"Is Director Niu going to continue commercial performances? What kind of city, I have enough time here. Yu Min on the other end of the phone.
"No need, the commercial show here can be stopped for the time being. Niu Zhou said: "I was also very tired during the shooting, you have a good rest." ”
"Niu Dao, you should also have a good rest. Yu Min said.
"Yu Min is indeed a good actor, but I'm also sorry, I want to film. Niu Zhou took a deep breath, this investment, if it wasn't for his friend's help and recommendation, he wouldn't have been able to get it at all.
It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration at all, take a famous director who exists on both the metaverse and the earth, Kurosawa is not well-known enough, he is still well-known all over the world, and he is called the emperor of movies by RB, but he can't get investment.
"Shadow Warrior" also couldn't get investment, but it was his die-hard fan George Lucas who pulled in an investment of $1.5 million, and also brought in Coppola as the executive producer.
Even Akira Kurosawa can't, it's normal for Niu Zhou to not be a box office hit, and he can't make money.
So Niu Zhou wanted to take himself out, he accepted an exclusive interview with "Today's Film Industry", and took the initiative to say these two things: "A good movie is that the actor and the film complete each other, like the film I won two Golden Horse Best Director, and achieved a queen and an actor respectively." The movie "Cheetah Kills" does have certain problems, so the audience doesn't like it, but the biggest problem is that I didn't consider it in the selection of actors, so the box office was not ideal. ”
Although Niu Zhou did not name him directly, he was saying that the failure of the movie box office was an actor's problem, and who is the starring role in "Cheetah Killing"?
Yu Min!
As a director, throwing the pot on the actor is also quite shameless.
Explode directly on the network.
It's not over yet, and the famous film critic also wrote a long post -
[Yu Min is a good actor, but it is true that her box office appeal is indeed sorry for this coffee position.
After her debut, "Agent Rose 1 and 2", "Beacon Fire", and "Women's War" did have a good box office, but that was a few years ago, and in recent years, Yu Min's movies have lost money one after another, and in 16 years, "Capricorn" invested 70 million and had a box office of 120 million.
In 17 years, "Three-foot Qingfeng Bears the Mountain" invested 80 million and had a box office of 160 million.
In 18 years, "Secret Order" invested 70 million and had a box office of 110 million.
Not to mention 19 years, participating in "Kill Bill", with an investment of more than 50 million, he didn't even go to the theater directly, and there was zero box office.
The above data are all accurate data recorded by the Film Bureau, everyone can check it, all the cinema movies are losing money, Yu Min is known as the last star in Asia, but in fact, he is already outdated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she said that the box office poison is now.
Director Niu Zhou is really affected by the actors!]
The audience is not history, it is a little girl at the mercy of others, and if you want to manipulate the audience, you just have to ask the water army to irrigate you.
Yu Min's fans, as well as passers-by fans, exploded-
The decadent post-92s: "I'm also drunk, if you say that your acting skills are not good, you play a bad play, just say it's a problem with the actors, your "Cheetah Killing" is obviously bad from the script to the shooting, Sister Mao is the only bright spot, you pull the hammer." ”
The sharp Tang Minghuang: "I bought the ticket for Sister Min anyway, what is it called being out of breath, how much did you charge?"
Foodie leader: "In recent years, the action movies themselves have become more and more sloppy, the ones you are far from, to be honest, if it weren't for Sister Cat's participation, it would be even more ploppy." ”
Invisible password: "This director is so old, I wonder if he is not a foolish person, why do you spray indiscriminately with one mouth? Speaking of which, it's true that action movies are outdated, and fewer and fewer companies are willing to shoot action movies seriously if they don't make money, and then the box office is lower, a vicious circle, and only Sister Mao still supports it. ”
replied to the foodie leader: "No matter what the reason, Yu Min's films in recent years have been pounced, this is a fact." ”
Soon someone came out and put forward the opposite opinion, biting the objective fact that hitting the street at the box office is hitting the street.
Anyway, the two sides insisted on their own words, and the water was mixed up all of a sudden.
In fact, people who pay attention to the film industry, or have watched "Cheetah Killing", will not believe Niu Zhou's statement.
At this time, many friends of Niu Zhou came up.
Zhang He: [Director Niu is a director I respect more, and he has shot many classic movies, and the director's atmosphere is a must in the circle. ]
Director Niu said it himself just now, he brought out an actor and actress, and Zhang He is the actor, his acting skills are quite good, the most important thing is that the news he sent, headless and brainless, did not talk about the box office failure of "Cheetah Killing" at all, anyway, it was to praise Niu Zhou.
Other emerging directors, actors, producers, etc. are all like this, as if they came out of the group of boasts, and they all said how brilliant Niu Dao was before.
"Xiaomin, let's send a statement. Sister Qian said: "This Niu Zhou is really not a thing, for this mouth, Xiao Min, you have been lying in this hospital for several days." ”
"What do you say about issuing a statement?" Yu Min asked, "It's none of my business to say that the box office failed?"
"Uh-" Sister Qian said: "Then we can't sit still, I have contacted the company, and the company will arrange it." ”
"Oh......" Yu Min was a little depressed, but the reason for her depression was not because Niu Zhou threw the pot of box office failure on her head, but because a famous director like Niu Zhou would not shoot action scenes well.
"Action movies, are they really outdated?" Yu Min asked himself in his heart.
Yu Min's company's method is also very simple, that is, to let the artists of the same company take the lead, and also open the boasting mode, saying that Yu Min is dedicated to Balabala.
It is worth mentioning that Teacher Bai and Rui Ying also took the initiative to help Yu Min speak.
The people invited by both sides to help are boasting about themselves, but it is obvious that Niu Zhou knows people and the company behind him has more connections.
There is a time difference between Italy and Huaxia, specifically Huaxia is six hours faster, so this matter fermented on the morning of May 8, and by four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Shun in Sicily knew about it.
