Chapter 966: Mixed Reviews

Yang Lanying talked to Lin Yang about the film schedule of "The True Color of Heroes", after the efforts of Meifeng Pictures, the film scheduling rate of "The True Color of Heroes" was set at about 20 percent, and 20 percent of the film schedule seems to be a lot, but compared with the film schedule of "The King of Kings", such a film schedule is very rare, and the film schedule of "The King of Kings" is 60 percent.

The two major cinema chains of Xiangjiang Damai and Infinity have maintained a good relationship with Anju Pictures, and the schedule of "The True Color of Heroes" has been lowered because of the lineup. For such a film arrangement, it is obviously a little unfair, but considering other factors, Lin Yang Studio and Meifeng Pictures can only acquiesce, of course, the most important thing is to see the fans' word-of-mouth reaction to the movie.

Although the relationship determines the film schedule, Anju Pictures does not have its own cinema chain, and some cinema chains must rely on the theater if they want to control the schedule, the theater is the father, and the theater is the mother. Although the theater chain controls the film scheduling, if the quality of a movie is not good, such as an ultra-low attendance rate, the theater can also coordinate with the theater chain to go online, after all, the theater values real money.

Therefore, everything depends on quality, word of mouth and attendance.

Next, the actors of "The King of Kings" will show various promotions and announcements in Xiangjiang to call on their respective fans to support the film.

Huang Yanqi and Zhang Man both appeared in various TV media and announcements in Xiangjiang, although this is a show in the eyes of outsiders, but it still aroused the expectations and support of its fans, and invisibly increased the exposure of "The King of Kings".

Zhou Wei even declared to fans that if this movie can achieve a super high box office, he will show off his hip-hop performance.

Lin Yuan said that a lottery will be held for fans who support the film, and the winner Lin Yuan will give away his own personal large-scale charm photo. This has caused a frenzy among its female fans.

Compared with the high-profile publicity and roadshows of "The King of Kings", "The True Color of Heroes" is much more embarrassing. Only Ma Feng and Liu Xiaoyue were used to promote the TV appearance of Ma Feng and Liu Xiaoyue on Xiangjiang, although Zhou Zecheng and Yang Da occupied most of the scenes in the movie, but the appearance rate was pitiful.

Zhou Zecheng and Yang Da also looked quite lost, looking at the lost Zhou Zecheng and Yang Da, Lin Yang comforted: "Roadshows and publicity are not directly related to the quality of the movie, you should be more confident in your performance." ”

"Mr. Lin, we just want to say thank you for your trust in us. ”

......

On June 8, "The King of Kings" was officially released, which is one of the few films in Xiangjiang with an investment of more than 100 million yuan. Anju Pictures and Wang Shitao attach special importance to the release.

Some fans of Mr. Wang, as well as critics who failed to make it to the premiere, flocked to theaters to watch the film.

Zhang Xiaoliang is a fan of Huang Yanqi, and his girlfriend Wang Lan happens to be a fan of Zhang Man, because of the call of the two idols, so the two came to the Xiangjiang Century Cinema early on June 8 to watch the movie promoted by the idol.

At the same time, because of the starry stars of the premiere of "The King of Kings", the film reporter Chang Anzhi, who was not invited to the premiere, also came to the theater, ready to watch Wang Shitao's claim that this is the strongest film of the underworld violence in Xiangjiang.

At the beginning of the film "The King of Kings", there is a photo of Zhou Wei, Huang Yanqi and Zhang Man practicing martial arts together.

For example, due to the strictness of the master, the scene where the three brothers and sisters take care of each other, such an opening really attracted bursts of applause from the audience.

After the strict martial arts practice, the three of them went down the mountain together, and the three mountains joined the Guangfu Society recommended by the master to serve, and the three who had grown up started their own lives in the rivers and lakes.

The two brothers relied on the skills of learning in the mountains, so that the Liberation Society grew rapidly, becoming the first major society in the rivers and lakes, the little junior sister still maintained the original innocence, but the two senior brothers moved to think carefully in the growing Guangfu Society, everyone wanted to compete for fame and fortune, and at the same time to have the little junior sister.

The two of them went to encircle the brothers in the gang respectively, and an infighting within the gang was staged immediately, and in the first infighting, the senior brother won the victory, and there was that brain-dead dialogue, but Wang Shitao was forced to make a slight correction under pressure.

But the little junior sister was not interested in the two senior brothers, but she fell in love with the president's son Lin Yuan, the two senior brothers were jealous, and then the two senior brothers killed the president's son together, and then the little junior sister and the two senior brothers started a contest......

Compared with the previous movies with big scenes of Wang Shitao, this movie has added more emotional components, Long Qi is fight scene, Wang Shitao did not use the firepower of the previous big scenes, but used more cold weapons, so that Zhou Wei and Huang Yanqi joined more fight scenes. Many viewers are also addicted.

Long Qi is the ending later, the little junior sister first united with the second senior brother to fight the senior brother, and did not hesitate to sacrifice the hue to the second senior brother, after the two joined forces to kill the senior brother, the little junior sister killed the second senior brother again, just when everyone thought that the little junior sister would be martyred or secluded, the little junior sister was with the president.

In the end, everyone suddenly realized that all this was a game laid out by the president, and the little junior sister was the president's pawn, which was used to eliminate their senior brother and second senior brother.

Such a plot development has indeed subverted the layout of Wang Shitao's movies in the past, and Long Qi is the final suspenseful ending, which really amazed many audiences.

Although many fans find it enjoyable, in Chang Anzhi's view, this is just a new bottle of old wine, although the plot of the movie is well developed, but it still uses the kind of tricky routine plot in the underworld.

To say that the strongest movie in Xiangjiang is indeed an exaggeration, Long Qi is Wang Shitao boasted that he created a new genre of violence in the underworld in Xiangjiang. In fact, strictly speaking, this movie is not an underworld violence drama at all, and it is more appropriate to evaluate it as a suspense drama.

Zhang Xiaoliang and Wang Lan, who are fans of Huang Yanqi and Zhang Man, feel that although this movie is good, it is far from the type they expected, and both of them have an indescribable feeling about the movie.

After the release, various Xiangjiang media and film critics began to carry out various praises and publicity for "The King of Kings". Of course, only Chang Anzhi put forward his own point of view, thinking that this movie is not an innovation of Xiangjiang underworld violent movies at all, but old wine in a new bottle, and if it is evaluated in a strict sense, it is even more appropriate to push the genre to suspense.

But Chang Anzhi's view was not adopted.

However, under the praise of the media, the editor-in-chief did not report Chang Anzhi's views in time, because the editor-in-chief received a red envelope from Anju Pictures, after all, he took the money from Anju Pictures and wanted to give people a meaning. And "The King of Kings" compared with the previous Wang Shitao's movies, this movie has indeed improved a lot, and the editor-in-chief decided to suppress Chang Anzhi's views first.

Xiangjiang Movie House is a gathering place for Xiangjiang movie fans, and after the release of "The King of Kings", there were many groups who checked in for "The King of Kings". Zhang Xiaoliang is also a senior fan of the movie house, as long as there is a movie released, Zhang Xiaoliang will always go to the movie house to discuss with everyone.

"I watched this movie today, and I have to say that this movie is really good, and Director Wang has really made a lot of progress. ”

"I also watched it, and I have to say that this plot is really good. ”

Although Lin Yuan's acting skills are a bit poor, the acting skills of the other three performances are still remarkable. ”

"The fight scenes are good, compared to Director Wang's previous fight scenes, they are more real. ”

......

Although these comments don't seem to be wrong, Zhang Xiaoliang's overall description of the movie is still very awkward. At this time, Zhang Xiaoliang saw the manuscript published by Chang Anzhi. After reading Chang Anzhi's opinions, Zhang Xiaoliang's heart suddenly brightened.

"Yes, although this movie is good, it has something to do with the publicity. ”

After seeing Chang Anzhi's point of view, Zhang Xiaoliang gave a more vivid explanation of Chang Anzhi's point of view.

Zhang Xiaoliang posted on the film forum: "Although Director Wang's movie is good, but for its publicity, I think it is indeed a bit exaggerated, so I went on a blind date than us, the matchmaker introduced us to this girl is very beautiful, and at the same time has the advantages of piano, chess, books, paintings, etc., and then we went on a blind date, and we did see the girl, and found that the girl is indeed very beautiful, but we ignored the matchmaker also told us that this girl can also play the piano, chess, books, and paintings." But after dating, we found out that the matchmaker only said that this girl was beautiful, but in fact, this girl did not know the piano, chess, books, or paintings. ”

After reprinting Chang Anzhi's statement, Zhang Xiaoliang attached his own evaluation of the movie, Zhang Xiaoliang's vivid answer method was completely popular in Xiangjiang Film House, and at the same time attracted many people's comments.

"Yes, although the movie is good, the publicity is too exaggerated!"

"I also think that this drama is just a new bottle of old wine, and the fighting method is signed on behalf of "Crazy Boy", and the routine is still the routine of Director Wang's double. ”

"To be honest, I walked into the theater after watching the publicity, although there is nothing wrong with the movie, but he is just an ordinary phone, where did he create a new violent movie in Xiangjiang society?"

......

For the views and discussions of Xiangjiang Film House, Anju Pictures naturally does not pay attention to it, especially under the praise of the media, although Anju Films' public relations media reporters and various entertainment newspapers and periodicals have spent a lot of money, but Anju Pictures is also in line with the confidence of the film's public relations.

In this kind of self-confidence, Anju Pictures naturally has a place to live. Because the box office of "The King of Kings" on the first day was officially released, the box office of 36 million is enough to prove everything. The score of Maoyan Film and Television Network, "The King of Kings" is also above 6 points. Many gave good reviews to this movie.

Although Chang Anzhi did not express his views in his film publications, as a film reporter in Xiangjiang, Chang Anzhi also runs a Weibo account, and often introduces some movie viewing guides. At the same time, I also expressed my experience of watching the movie. After the editor-in-chief did not consider publishing Chang Anzhi's views for the time being, Chang Anzhi saw his views on Weibo.

Chang Anzhi's Weibo has only tens of thousands of followers, and although many people agree with Chang Anzhi's views, his power and voice are much smaller.

For Chang Anzhi, Anju Pictures has long known that because when "The True Colors of Heroes" and "The King of Kings" were launched, Chang Anzhi's desperate support for "The True Colors of Heroes" was particularly conspicuous.

Anju Pictures thinks that Chang Anzhi is just an insignificant little shrimp, so he didn't pay attention to it, but after the release of "The King of Kings", Chang Anzhi still commented so, Wang Shitao, as a director, directly @ Chang Anzhi, and attached: "What is the real Xiangjiang movie, please tell me what to see, and then you can shoot it!"

As a director, Wang Shitao has millions of fans in Xiangjiang, and after Wang Shitao published @ChangAnzhi's opinion, some Wang Shitao's fans began to criticize Chang Anzhi.

"Yes, it's just annoying you crooked reporters, you can't make movies and will find fault with movies. ”

"That's it, you can shoot it, you can reach half of Director Wang's. ”

Let's see what is the innovation of Hong Kong films, don't talk about "Crazy Boy", "Crazy Boy" has been two years. “

......

Soon Chang Anzhi's Weibo was attacked by some of Wang Shitao's fans.

Just when Wang Shitao was triumphant about attacking Chang Anzhi's remarks, the people who ate melons were convinced by Lin Yang's point of view.

"If I want to evaluate the harmfulness of drug use, I have to use drugs myself before I can do it, if I want to evaluate the illegality of gambling, whether I want to evaluate the illegality of prostitution, whether I want to evaluate whether it is illegal to engage in prostitution, whether I can evaluate it after I participate in it. Is it only when I participate in gambling and break up my wife that I can't evaluate, whether I want to evaluate the quality of a product, and I have to produce this product to have the right to speak. I think that you do what you do is an obvious way to change concepts, and we should boldly accept everyone's criticism, rather than find a way to change concepts to avoid this problem. ”

"Clothes, capitalized clothes, all say that Lin Yang is the first king in the mainland entertainment industry, and today I can be regarded as a teacher. ”

"Yes, isn't it possible that we have to try it ourselves to evaluate the quality of something?"

"Supporting Lin Yang is a manifestation of irresponsibility for his films. ”

"To be honest, although "The King of Kings" has no slots this time, it is not as good as it is boasted, and it is a little disappointed. ”

"I think the criticism is very big, it is originally a movie that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the name and plot of this movie are even more different. ”

......

It turned out that Liu Zhongwei noticed Chang Anzhi very early, and Long Qi was Chang Anzhi from the period of "Crazy Boy", and he supported Liu Zhongwei and Lin Yang's studio many times. This made Liu Zhongwei have a good impression of Chang Anzhi, and the two kept in touch in private. Therefore, Liu Zhongwei told Lin Yang about Chang Anzhi's siege, thinking that Chang Anzhi had helped himself and supported "The True Color of Heroes" many times, so Lin Yang spoke up for Chang Anzhi without hesitation.
