The meaning of Liangliang is very simple, it is nothing more than trying to take advantage of the box office failure of "Blue Fortress" to lead cultural and creative entertainment into an economic crisis.

After all, the investment cost of 300 million is really a bit high, once the "Blue Fortress" movie fails, combined with the current situation of cultural and creative entertainment, the result is obvious.

The way is a good way, at least let Jiangbei get out and avoid getting involved in the game between the father and daughter of New Year's Eve and Chen Muhua.

But there are still problems.

"Although I'm not optimistic about "Blue Fortress", after all, the movie hasn't been released yet, what if it really sells at the box office?"

Jiangbei's doubts are not unreasonable, this is the Azure Star, which is always a little different from the previous life.

And the director and main creative team of the film itself are all different, and he doesn't know what kind of changes will happen to the movie itself in this case.

It's okay if it's as bad as ever, but if it's filmed, wouldn't it be bad?

Liang Liang didn't care about this, and analyzed: "I don't know anything about movies, but as far as I know, Ji Yingzi has never had a movie released before she met your brother, and I am not very optimistic about her losing her brother's script with the help of this alone." ”

Secondly, last year's "Wandering Blue" was able to harvest 5 billion box office, which accounted for too many objective factors, which made fans very tolerant of the movie. And since then, the reputation and box office of science fiction movies are still not ideal, because the success of "Azure Blue" has undoubtedly improved the appreciation level of fans. ”

"So unless this 'Blue Fortress' is of extremely high quality, it's very difficult to succeed. ”

After a thorough analysis, the meaning revealed by the words is that they are not optimistic about "Blue Fortress".

"I'll see if I can watch the film in advance. ”

Jiangbei didn't make up his mind so quickly, and after thinking about it, he decided to watch the finished movie in person.

It's just that this time he is not a member of the investor and the main creative team, so it is quite difficult to see the finished film.

"How simple is this? Didn't you ask us to cooperate in the release of her "Blue Fortress"? As a distributor, it's okay to take a look at the finished film in advance, right?"

I have to say that Zhuge Liang's IQ is really high, and there seems to be nothing in the world that can be difficult to stop her except gambling.

Zhibi Zhuge Wuhou, Wusheng Liu Guan Zhang Fei, can be described as a woman who combines wisdom and force.

"If this thing can be successful, I will give you a reward of 1,000 yuan. Jiangbei patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder and promised a heavy reward.

Zhuge Liang blossomed when he heard the words: "Hehe...... hey"

……

According to Zhuge Liang, Jiangbei quickly found a reply from New Year's Eve, saying that Erjing Cinema can become the distributor of "Blue Fortress", but the premise is that the movie needs to be watched.

This is not an overstatement, and the distributors, as the last step in handling the screening of the film, are indeed eligible to watch the finished film in advance.

In fact, the reason why many movies leak resources during their release is mostly the responsibility of the distributor, because the right to screen the film is in their hands.

Sui Xi also agreed to Jiangbei's proposal without any doubts, and knew that he could not expose the situation to clear all the uninformed personnel and personally accompany him to watch this movie.

And, of course, there's Hai Da Fat.

"Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I want to die fat!"

Seeing Jiang Bei's first reaction, Hai Da Fat shook his weight of more than 200 catties, which frightened the former and almost didn't retreat.

Fortunately, Hai Da Fat knows how to be measured, and there is no physical collision with each other, and he stops two steps away and shows a flattering look.

If you are too enthusiastic, there must be a problem, Jiangbei became vigilant in his heart, replied politely without being close, and then sat down and prepared to watch the movie.

"I heard that the movie made by the big fat classmate in the first half of this year hit the street again. Liang Liang sat next to him and reminded in a mocking tone.

When Jiang Bei heard this, he suddenly glanced at Hai Da Fat, his eyes full of curiosity.

Sometimes he also wonders whether this Hai Da Fat, who is obsessed with being a director, is the same as the gambling king, and he is extremely lacking in a certain ability, which leads to always being unable to ask for it.

The cool voice was not deliberately suppressed, so Hai Da Fat heard this ridicule. However, he didn't blush in the slightest, but rubbed his hands and explained, "That...... In fact, the quality of the shooting is still good, it may be that the current domestic market cannot accept that style for the time being. ”

"What style of shooting?" Jiang Bei asked.

In the first half of the year, he has been wandering between his father-in-law and his wife, and he has paid little attention to the news in the entertainment industry, and he is not clear about Hai Dapang's new movie.

"Crime suspense. ”

"What's your name?"

"The Whistleblower"

Whistleblower?

Haven't heard of it.

"What about the cost and box office?" Jiang Bei asked again.

This time, Hai Da Pang was embarrassed to answer, and rubbed his hands with an embarrassed smile and replied: "It's okay, it's not much to lose." ”

Jiang Bei was a little surprised when he heard it, and said in surprise: "It's progress!"

"Poof!" Zhang Jiuliang couldn't help laughing out loud in the back, and said: "That's indeed progress, in the past, investors who lost money were just blocked at the door of their homes, but now they are directly blocked on the road, and it's almost dry." ”

"What's that, don't mention these uninteresting things, watch the film, watch the film. Hai Da Fat hurriedly gave the New Year's Eve a look and asked her to hurry up and show the movie, trying to confuse the matter.

Jiangbei didn't say much, but secretly pondered going back to search the box office of this movie on the Internet.

At the end of the chatting time, under the dimming of the lights of this small movie screening hall under the signal of the New Year's Eve, the newly completed "Blue Fortress" officially appeared on the big screen.

Several people present, including New Year's Eve, became serious and stared at the screen to watch the movie that had not yet been released.

Time passed little by little, Jiangbei watched it very seriously, and from time to time he still compared the gap between the same film in his past life and present life in his mind.

The shooting technique is more proficient.

The narrative plot is smoother.

There are some differences in the core of the story, from the male protagonist's crush to the triangular crush relationship of 'she likes him, he likes her', which makes the emotional line more complicated, but this line still becomes the core plot throughout the movie.

As for the main plot, it is very simple, every time you talk about the relationship between a man and a woman, it will be accompanied by an alien invasion. As the aliens invade several times, the more the relationship line of the love triangle becomes.

Until the last climactic war, the supporting actress who had a crush on the male protagonist chose to sacrifice for love, handed over her plane to the male protagonist, and died with the aliens with a grenade.

And the hero and heroine also had a life-and-death parting in the final collaboration, and only sent a confessional text message on the saved mobile phone.

In addition, unlike the original book, Mr. Ji is ingenious here and gives a very obvious hint, that is, the person who the supporting actress chooses to send text messages is the male protagonist, and the content in it is also a confession.

Very good.

A more perfect love triangle than the original.

Even Hai Da Fat, who was sitting next to him, was so moved by the love line in the movie that he secretly wiped his tears, and the gambling king warmly handed him a tissue.

Until the end of the 107-minute movie, everyone sat quietly in their seats and did not move, only Sui Xi was the first to react and took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. He, what do you think?"

Before Jiangbei could speak, Hai Da Fat, who was crying like a tearful man, shouted: "Woo woo...... The movie is so sadistic, Jiang Xiaoyang and Lu Yiyi couldn't stand in front of each other and confess to the one they like until they died. “

"Uh......" New Year's Eve looked at the crying sea big fat, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"The movie is still good, especially the emotional line in it is very touching, I think there should be a lot of fans who like it. ”

Compared with Hai Da Fat's emotional out-of-control, Jiangbei was relatively calm and gave a very 'pertinent' evaluation.

Mr. Twilight thinks it's okay, and the screenwriter of "Wandering Blue" thinks it's okay, so this movie will definitely be okay nine times out of ten.

As a woman who knows the details of Jiangbei, Sui Xi has a blind belief in his words.

At least history proves everything.

"Then our cooperation ......"

The quality of the film is passed, so the next thing to discuss is naturally cooperation.

"This is no problem, you can contact Erjing Film and Television directly. Jiangbei nodded and directly agreed to cooperate.

"Although I am not in charge of the Dafu Cinema Line, my father will definitely not refuse to make money, so it should be no problem. Hai Da Fat eased his mood and echoed him.

In this way, the two theater chains that currently occupy the top 10 film market share in the country have verbally promised to become the distributors of "Blue Fortress".

Of course, there were no surprises in the follow-up.

In the next few days, the heads of Erjing Film and Television and Dafu Cinema Line signed a cooperation treaty with Cultural and Creative Entertainment, temporarily solving the dilemma that Cultural and Creative Entertainment currently has no business cooperation.

"Brother, did you really agree? I think the movie seems to be okay to watch! It's not a bad movie, is it?"

Zhuge Liang expressed doubts and incomprehension about his brother's behavior, and asked privately.

When Jiang Bei heard this, he said earnestly: "Many times, it is not only the quality of the film that determines the success or failure of a movie, but also many objective factors will lead to the direction of the ending of the film. “

"Huh?" Liang Liang obviously didn't understand his brother's inexplicable words, and he looked dazed.

Jiang Bei shook his head and quietly leaned into the gambling king's ear to whisper a few words.

"Can this work......"

"Just do what I tell you to do, and the surprise will come naturally. “

"What about Chen Muhua?"

"Go talk to him and say that this matter is on us, to ensure that "Blue Fortress" will lose all its money, and that cultural and creative entertainment will fall into a bankruptcy crisis. “

"Okay. “

"In addition, if this matter is really successful, I will privately prepare 300 million yuan in compensation. “

"Brother, you are a married man. “

"I know, but I am mainly responsible for this matter, and I was injured by mistake, so I have the right to compensate her. “

"Brother, do you know, in fact, you also hurt me by mistake. “

"Get out. “

......

In fact, Jiangbei's plan is very simple, but he just remembers the failure of "Shanghai Fortress" in his previous life, and wants to copy it again and use it on "Blue Fortress".

In fact, a large part of the responsibility for the failure of "Shanghai Fortress" lies in the issue of publicity.

Before the movie was released, he frantically rubbed the popularity of "The Wandering Earth", and said that "Shanghai Fortress" was the second film to carry the banner of Chinese science fiction movies after "The Wandering Earth", which caused a strong sense of expectation for fans. As a result, after the release of the film, fans found that its quality was far from "The Wandering Earth", and the contrast caused by it gave fans a sense of psychological deception, so naturally there would be no good reviews.

There is also the fact that "Shanghai Fortress" has always been advertised as a science fiction film at that time, but the core of the story is about apocalyptic love under the attack of aliens, which is a serious digression, which makes the audience who wants to watch science fiction movies see the romance film, and those who want to watch romance films are persuaded by the subject matter.

It was a combination of other factors that led to the final failure of "Shanghai Fortress".

In this regard, "Shanghai Fortress" and "Love Apartment Movie" have the same effect, both of them forcibly change the theme concept with the idea of wanting to gain popularity, which causes fans to rebel.

Although the film quality of "Blue Fortress" in this life has been significantly improved under the direction of Ji Yingzi, and the rhythm is not bad, but because Ji Yingzi strengthens the emotional line, this movie is more inclined to romance.

Therefore, if Cultural and Creative Entertainment chooses to position the film as a science fiction film when it is announced, and says another Chinese science fiction movie after "Wandering Blue", then the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

The plan is such a plan, and whether it can be implemented successfully depends on whether Sui Xi and Ji Yingzi are on the road.

What Jiangbei can do is to let Liang Liang secretly bring rhythm on the Internet, and lead the topic of 'Blue Fortress is another Chinese science fiction movie after "Wandering Blue" to hint at Sui Xi and Ji Yingzi.

But in fact, his thoughts were a little too worried, and on the third day after watching the movie, Ji Yingzi suddenly sent him a message: [Mr. Jiang, my "Blue Fortress" has been produced, I will prove it to you, it is no worse than "Wandering Blue", it is also a high-quality sci-fi masterpiece!]

Seeing this news, the corners of Jiangbei's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: It's okay.

At the beginning of July, the production of "Blue Fortress" was completed and entered the review stage, and cultural and creative entertainment began to release relevant information about "Blue Fortress" to the outside world, attracting the attention of the public.

On July 6, Liang Liang successfully reached a cooperation intention with Chen Muhua, delegating power and retreating behind the scenes to hand over everything to Erjing Film and Television.

On July 10, "Blue Fortress" passed the review and announced that it would be set for July 25.

On July 11, the promotional video of "Blue Fortress" was released.

On July 12, the director and main creative team of "Blue Fortress" participated in the recording of a variety show to promote the movie, and Ji Yingzi, who is not an ordinary person, bluntly said in an interview with the host about the movie's expectations for the box office that he could break the record of "Wandering Blue" and create another glory for science fiction movies.

The interview video was quickly filmed by the audience and uploaded to major websites, forums and short videos, causing crazy discussions.

Coupled with Jiangbei's secret fueling, the expectations for this movie on the Internet have gradually risen, and even most media news have written articles about "Wandering Blue" with the title of "Science Fiction Film Master Ji Yingzi after "Wandering Blue" and then "Blue Fortress". ‘

With Ji Yingzi's confident words to break his own record, then it is undoubtedly completely confirmed that "Wandering Blue" is a science fiction film.

The next thing to watch is the fans' perception of the movie after its release.

On July 15, Li Youqing forwarded the second promotional video to promote "Blue Fortress", and the click-through rate of the promotional video exceeded 20 million on the same day.

On July 20, "Blue Fortress" attracted Chen Muhua's anxious inquiries because the warm-up effect was too perfect, and the gambling king in Anseong still left with an uneasy mood.

On July 24, on the eve of the release of "Blue Fortress", online pre-purchase ticket sales exceeded 50 million, which was a remarkable achievement.

On July 25, "Blue Fortress", which won 37% of the national film scheduling rate, was officially released.
