Chapter 142: No Good Heart (Ask for the First Order)
Zhang Pu is much calmer than Xu Jiadong.
At the beginning of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", he didn't expect the box office of this movie to be good.
What he wants is word of mouth!
"Crazy Stone" is too dazzling, and he doesn't want to be labeled a "comedy director".
Now, judging from the screening alone, his goal has been achieved.
Moreover, it is impossible for this film to lose money, as he said to Xu Jiadong, the question is only how much money to make.
Perhaps, within two days, the film has already begun to make money.
With such a high schedule, as long as the attendance rate is not too low, then it is enough.
Xu Jiadong and Zhang Pu think differently.
He doesn't care how much money this movie can make, what he wants is a big hit in the movie, so as to be ashamed.
Making money is not the goal, saving face is the key.
How can I save face, it will naturally be a box office hit.
It's useless to have a good reputation, and if you lose money and make money, it's also faceless.
Xu Jiadong is not a filmmaker, he is just an investor.
If an investment is not profitable, it is a failure.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Jiadong saw Zhang Pu looking at him like that, and his heart was a little hairy.
"Brother Xu, are you honest, when you buy a film and television company and invest in movies, you are really optimistic about the film industry, not to better connect with female stars?" asked Zhang Pu.
He had to suspect that Xu Jiadong's entry into the film and television industry was completely to make it easier for female stars.
This seems to be a very rich second generation!
"Of course I'm optimistic about the film industry!" Xu Jiadong saw Zhang Pu's suspicious gaze, and then said, "I will use the money smashed on the movie to smash female stars, one by one, do you believe it?"
"It depends on who it is?" Zhang Pu smiled and said.
It may be an exaggeration to smash one accurately, but 90 percent of it can't run.
Marrying into a wealthy family is definitely the dream of countless female stars.
Xu Jiadong thinks it is a proper wealthy family.
I don't know why, Zhang Pu subconsciously thought of Xiao Xue.
If Xu Jiadong used money to smash Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue should be confused with him, right?
She is the one who rejected Huang Ze.
For female stars, Huang Ze's attractiveness may not be worse than Xu Jiadong.
After all, Huang Ze was closer to them.
"Are you really not nervous?" Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu and said.
Zhang Pu is too calm, giving people the feeling that the film released has nothing to do with him.
Nervous?
Naturally it was nervous. Even if Zhang Pu is very confident in his movie, he is still nervous.
It's just not as nervous as I thought.
What's more, Zhang Pu doesn't say that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, but in terms of controlling emotions, it is still good.
That little nervousness, he didn't show it on his face.
"What is there to be nervous about?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The success of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is doomed, it is nothing more than how successful it is. ”
"You're so confident. Xu Jiadong said, "If this film hits the street at the box office, or is much worse than "Crazy Stone", I am afraid that rumors are indispensable." The box office appeal of your next film will definitely be greatly reduced. ”
"Crazy Stone" is too dazzling, so for Zhang Pu's second movie, fans naturally have high expectations.
For another person, the box office of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is fifty or sixty million, which is estimated to be very good.
But if it's Zhang Pu, it's a failure!
Zhang Pu smiled, would he not understand this?
Starting too high is sometimes not a good thing. However, he believes that it should not be a problem for this film to break 100 million.
As long as the film breaks 100 million, then the impact on him will be limited. There are not many small-budget movies that can break 100 million at the box office.
Although it is not as dazzling as "Crazy Stone", it can also gag most people's mouths.
"How about the movie, wouldn't it be nice to go to the theater to see it?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Do you want to go together?"
"You haven't gotten tired of watching it yet!" Xu Jiadong said.
"Loyal Dog Rhubarb" was screened, Zhang Pu ran around, and he didn't know how many times he watched it.
"I didn't say to watch "Loyal Dog Rhubarb". Zhang Pu pouted and said.
"Then what are you going to see?" Xu Jiadong asked casually.
"Best Boyfriend. Zhang Pu smiled and said.
Xu Jiadong: ......
"Best Boyfriend" is the movie starring Huang Ze, how could Xu Jiadong not know.
Zhang Pu will actually contribute to the box office of Huang Ze's movie?
However, he can be sure that Zhang Pu must be uneasy and kind to watch "Best Boyfriend".
Maybe it's just to criticize that film.
Zhang Pu went to the theater to watch "Best Girlfriend", and by the way, he learned about the attendance of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb".
Small cost, high film arrangement, but the attendance rate is not low.
It seems that his film should be stable.
Judging from the attendance rate, "Best Girlfriend" seems to be better than "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", but the theater Zhang Pu went to is the theater of Wanhui Group's cinema chain.
In this theater, the film schedule of "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" is much higher than that of "Best Girlfriend".
Zhang Pu feels that it is very likely that "Loyal Dog Rhubarb" will surpass "Best Girlfriend" at the box office on the first day.
"The boss, it seems that they are all young people. Moreover, there are mostly couples. Tan Siming said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Zhang Pu looked around, a little surprised.
He didn't pay attention to this, and was reminded by Tan Siming, but found that it was really the case.
And in addition to couples, most of them are female audiences. Few boys call their friends to watch this film.
After thinking about it, there seems to be nothing surprising.
Isn't this kind of film aimed at this kind of movie fans?
Compared with "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", "Best Boyfriend" undoubtedly has a few more limitations.
However, the theme of this film is naturally more popular than "Loyal Dog Rhubarb", and among the domestic fan groups, young people are the most.
It's hard to say which is better or worse, and in the end, it depends on the film itself.
"How?"
At the end of the film, Zhang Pu asked Tan Siming with a smile.
He was in a good mood at this time.
"I don't understand. Tan Siming smiled and said.
"Don't you understand such a simple story?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "You deserve to be a single dog." ”
"Of course I understood the story, but I didn't. Tan Siming said, "Well, people don't understand either." ”
Zhang Pu smiled.
The story is very simple, Tan Siming understands it, but the logic of the story and the words and deeds of the characters in the film are somewhat beyond his Li Jie's scope.
Is it counterintuitive?
Perhaps!
Is it out of touch with reality?
Perhaps!
However, men and women in love, their words and deeds are a little difficult to understand.
That's up to everyone.
As for Huang Ze's acting skills..... Don't mention it!
A domineering president who can perform a warm man hard, it is estimated that there is no one.
Of course, this kind of urban love idol film does not have such high requirements for the acting skills of actors, not to mention that there is no actor like Zhou Chaohua in this film to beat him, and his shortcomings in acting skills are not so abrupt.
Zhang Pu feels that the possibility of this movie is a bit great, and the reason why he thinks so is that the film can't resonate with people.
This film is not entertaining, nor does it move people, and most fans can't even find some familiar shadows in the film.
The plot and characters are a little incomprehensible.
Well, the average person can't read it.
In Zhang Pu's view, the biggest failure of this film is that it is obviously a commercial film, but it has to rely on literary films.
This is inevitably a bit nondescript.
Is the film bad? Actually, it's not bad, but it's definitely not a likable film.
Or that the fans who like it are definitely a minority.
