Chapter 207: Do You Want to Step on Two More Feet?
Black films of the same schedule, which is not uncommon in the circle.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is not the first, and definitely not the last.
Mu Chen is not worried about "Wolf Warrior 2" being hacked, but it does not mean that he can turn a blind eye and laugh at it if he is hacked.
He has never been a person who can't fight back or scold.
Chen Fuhai naturally knows Mu Chen's character, and he is the same.
"Do you want to fight back?" Chen Fuhai said as he looked at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen smiled and said nothing.
Chen Fuhai didn't ask anymore.
Everything is in plain sight.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is still hot at the box office, and fans and "black fans" are competing against each other on the Internet, full of gunpowder.
At this time, some netizens revealed that Zheng Yonghe signed an agreement with Guangzheng Pictures to guarantee a minimum of 1.5 billion.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is too loud, and Zheng Yonghe is afraid that it will affect the box office of "Excalibur", so he invited the navy to black "Wolf Warrior 2".
There is no substantive evidence for this revelation, but it feels so real that you can't find a loophole at all in the blink of an eye.
There are no loopholes, it is logical, and there are naturally more and more people who believe it to be true.
Some people like a film, and naturally some people don't like it, which is normal.
There are many popular people, and the controversy will naturally be big when the film becomes popular.
However, the comments on the Internet of the black "Wolf Warrior 2", the traces of the water army are somewhat obvious.
Some people have suspected it before, but now it has been exposed, which instantly detonated the Internet, and pushed "Excalibur" and its director Zheng Yonghe to the forefront at once.
The publicity of "Excalibur" is very strong, and this revelation did not promote the promotion of this movie in the slightest, but made it fall into an extremely passive situation, and a little carelessness will definitely affect the box office.
Now, there are already netizens on the Internet calling for a boycott of this film.
"I signed an agreement with a minimum guarantee of 1.5 billion. The production cost of "Excalibur" is nearly 400 million, and if you include the publicity and distribution fee, the investment is more than 400 million. With such a large investment in a film with a minimum guarantee of 1.5 billion, what pressure can I have? Is it necessary for me to ask the water army to hack "Wolf Warrior 2"?"
""Wolf Warrior 2" is indeed very popular, but it will not put pressure on me, let alone let me ask the water army to go to the black. A good movie can't be hacked by anyone. ”
"I don't think the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" will have any bad impact on "Excalibur", but I think that its popularity and the movie-watching craze set off will be good for the box office of "Excalibur". After all, the two films are released a week apart, so what's the competition?"
"Mu Chen is an excellent director, and "Wolf Warrior 2" is also an excellent movie. ”
"Excalibur and Wolf Warrior 2 are fundamentally two types and two styles of films. No matter how popular "Wolf Warrior 2" is, it has a limited impact on the box office of "Excalibur". The target audience is different. ”
......
As soon as the rumors came out on the Internet, Zheng Yonghe immediately accepted an interview with the media and urgently refuted the rumors.
I can't admit it, and I don't dare to admit it.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knows how to play casually behind the scenes, but on the surface, there is a lot of harmony.
As a last resort, it will never tear its face.
Tearing the skin, the gains outweigh the losses. Especially with Mu Chen, who is extremely popular and has a lot of fans.
Those celebrities who are so good as to wear a pair of pants in front of the public are many of them who don't get along with each other in private, and even hate to kill each other.
Laughing on the surface haha, you are a scum in your heart.
This kind of person is very common in the entertainment industry.
Film competition, that is also commercial competition.
Everyone relies on their own means, as long as they don't touch the bottom line, then the winner is the prince and the loser.
If you don't accept it, you will fight again next time.
This does not touch the bottom line.
Of course, if you can ask the navy to hack my movie, I can naturally ask the navy to guide public opinion and induce netizens to boycott your movie.
It's not about grudges, it's about profit.
"It's just rumors on the Internet. ”
Mu Chen was naturally asked about this by the media.
"No movie can be perfect. "Wolf Warrior 2" Some people like it, some people don't like it, isn't that normal?
"Buddhism has a saying: the heart and the heart are hard to find, wide and wide are all over the Dharma realm, and narrow is not allowed to needle. The heart turns as you want, the wise man protects the heart, and the heart is at ease. The heart turns as he wants, the fool indulges in lust, and the heart is chaotic. If everyone behaves with a tolerant heart, a heart of understanding, and a normal heart, a society will be formed in which people live in harmony. ”
The reporter listened with a blanket face.
Is this talking about Buddhism?
Why can't I understand a word?
"Are those black "Wolf Warrior 2" water army? I know there! When they scold "Wolf Warrior 2", they won't post ticket stubs. ”
"How's Excalibur? I haven't seen it. Will you go and see it? If you have time, you will go to see it. ”
"What have you been busy lately? The promotion of "Wolf Warrior 2", the post-production of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", and the preparation of the new film in cooperation with Mr. Li Long......"
Zheng Yonghe refuted the rumors and asked the navy to black "Wolf Warrior 2", but Mu Chen was a little unpredictable.
He didn't seem to believe that Zheng Yonghe would ask the water army to hack his own film, but he didn't deny that those who hacked "Wolf Warrior 2" were not the water army.
However, as soon as Mu Chen's interview came out, those fans of his faced those black "Wolf Warrior 2" water army, no longer arguing, but directly letting them post ticket stubs.
If you can't post the ticket stub, then it means that you haven't read it at all.
I haven't seen it, what qualifications do you have to hack "Wolf Warrior 2"?
As a result, the influence of the Navy Black "Wolf Warrior 2" has dropped a lot.
After all, everyone is golden, and it is much darker, and it is inevitable that some fans will be affected.
Friday, July 20.
"Excalibur" was released, and the film schedule of "Wolf Warrior 2" was greatly affected, dropping from more than 40% to 33.25%, but its film schedule is still more than that of "Excalibur".
Even if it has been released for a week, the theater chain is more optimistic about the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2".
The single-day box office fell by 300 million, but there are still more than 200 million.
With such box office potential, who is not convinced by winning so many scheduled films?
The film schedule of "Excalibur" is not low, as high as 29.87%.
Zheng Yonghe and Guangzheng Pictures were a little unconvinced, but they were helpless.
"Wolf Warrior 2" performed too hard at the box office.
However, this is only the initial film schedule, and when the film is released, the film schedule will naturally be adjusted.
Everything is said at the box office.
In a certain theater, Mu Chen directly chartered a VIP theater and watched "Excalibur" with Li Ruoxi and others.
Although I booked a movie theater, it didn't cost much.
Although the box office of the VIP theater is a little higher, you only need to buy more than ten or twenty movie tickets.
For Mu Chen, this amount of money is really just a matter of minutes.
If nothing else, "Wolf Warrior 2" can do it.
"I thought you had a big movie theater, but it's so small!" Wang Hao walked into the theater and teased with a smile.
"Why is the bag so big?" Mu Chen pouted and said, """Wolf Warrior 2" is released, why don't you charter it to support it?"
"You're embarrassed to say it. Wang Hao said, "Why don't you invite me to this film? I am very suitable for the role of Zhuo Yifan, and I can perform it in my true colors! Mu Chen, you make me have to re-evaluate the friendship between us!"
This is true, Wang Hao's guy is indeed suitable for playing Zhuo Yifan.
"Won't your conscience hurt when you say this?" Mu Chen pouted and said, "The first thing I looked for for this role was you." You said that there was no schedule, so I just looked for Zhang Tao. As a result, the other party's asking price was too high, and then he looked for Cheng Cheng. ”
"Is there one?" Wang Hao smiled awkwardly, he seemed to remember that there was such a thing.
At the time, he ...... Don't mention it.
"Do you regret it?" said Zhao Jin with a smile.
"He's probably a little, and he's not missed that chance once or twice. However, Zhang Tao estimated that his intestines were all repentant. Marin said with a smile.
Wang Hao wants to be popular, and it is estimated that he has already been popular.
He is mixed in the entertainment industry, and he thinks more about playing than about becoming famous.
"You know?" Mu Chen smiled and said.
"You don't know?" Wang Hao said.
Zhang Tao's asking price was too high and he was replaced, and as a result, Cheng Cheng was achieved, and now he is being ridiculed by many fans. Marin said.
Mu Chen looked at Chen Fuhai.
Did he hype up this?
Hype up this matter, but there is no need to expose Zhang Tao.
After all, Zhang Tao's asking price may be high, but that is also something you and I want.
The cooperation was not negotiated, and it was inevitable that it would be a little inauthentic to talk about things afterwards.
This matter has nothing to do with Dawn Film and Television, when he was talking to a friend after drinking, he was recorded by the person next to him and uploaded it to the Internet. Chen Fuhai said with a smile.
"He's really unlucky. Li Ruoxi said, "It was depressing enough to miss a popular role, but I ended up talking to my friends and being sold." ”
Zhang Tao now needs a role that can be handled, but Zhuo Yifan let him miss it.
At the beginning, he quoted a high price, and the more reason is probably that he still looks down on Zhuo Yifan as a supporting role.
Quoting a high price is itself a way of refusing.
"Is there still less such thing in the entertainment industry?" Mu Chen shook his head and said.
There are many such things, but there are not many of them.
The entertainment industry is not without true friendship.
Everyone said and found a seat and sat down.
Trailers of films that are being released today and upcoming films are shown on the screen.
After the trailer, there are some commercials.
It didn't take long for the film to be confirmed to begin.
Excalibur?
Looking at the title, Mu Chen subconsciously thought that it was a fantasy fairy film, a story about the sword fairy.
However, at the beginning of the film, Mu Chen found out that he was wrong.
And it couldn't be more wrong.
This is a fantasy film. Well, it should be, right?
No matter what the genre is, the film reveals a strong taste of dog blood, as well as a Western dark style.
Whether it is framing or costume props, it has nothing to do with the sword fairy.
There is no taste of fairyland in it either.
Even the "divine sword" that runs through the entire film is not an oriental style.
The mix and match of East and West gives people a sense of nondescriptry.
Moreover, there are multiple elements covered in this film.
Chinese mythology, Western magic, comedy, love, action, monsters, thrillers, ghost animals, etc., can one movie mix so many elements?
Mu Chen was a little surprised.
That's a lot of slots!
This is the film of them blowing the sky?
If you blow the film so high, aren't you afraid of falling to pieces?
The only thing that is commendable may be that the special effects of this film are not bad.
Well, it's just good.
The actors' acting skills can only be said to be decent.
Mu Chen and Chen Fuhai glanced at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
I'm afraid this film will be difficult to threaten "Wolf Warrior 2".
"It is already a magic barrier for big domestic directors to hit the international market. Chen Fuhai shook his head and said.
The reason why "Excalibur" presents such a style is nothing more than to integrate Western elements and impact the international market.
Zhang Gang's "Demon Hunter" stopped at a shallow level, and Xu Wen's "Mountains and Seas" found another way out, starting with "Divine Beasts".
They didn't succeed, but they didn't fail either.
At least the response of the domestic market is still good.
Zheng Yonghe's "Excalibur" is much bolder.
Whether foreign fans will like this film, Chen Fuhai doesn't know. However, he feels that domestic fans are afraid of ......
"You're lucky, you can't stop it!"
Wang Hao couldn't help but say.
At this point, halfway through the film, he really couldn't get interested.
Mu Chen smiled, he naturally knew the meaning of Wang Hao's words.
Obviously, Wang Hao also feels that this film does not pose any threat to "Wolf Warrior 2".
Perhaps, everyone in the theater thinks so.
Perhaps, the same is true for other fans.
Mu Chen and others still insisted on watching this film.
"Treat!" Marin looked at Mu Chen and said.
"This is not in line with tradition!" Mu Chen said with a smile.
Their tradition, that is, Wang Hao's treat.
"You are much richer than Wang Hao now. Zhao Jin said with a smile.
Mu Chen and the others also laughed.
This is just a joke, and Zhao Jin and the others are not bad for the money.
After eating a meal and singing a K, when Mu Chen and Li Ruoxi returned to the apartment, it was already late at night.
At this time, the reputation of "Excalibur" has collapsed.
The rating on Jinlong's online website is only 5.8 points, and it is not a passing grade.
And the comments and jokes complaining about this film on the Internet can be seen everywhere.
"So bad?" Li Ruoxi looked at Mu Chen with some surprise.
"I shouldn't have had time to do it yet, right?" Mu Chen was also stunned.
He didn't expect fans to be so faceless.
Zheng Yongrui is a great director who has been famous for many years!
Chen Fuhai played with them until late at night, and he didn't see any arrangements for him.
It is very unlikely that those who hacked "Excalibur" are a water army.
Chen Yonghe and Guangzheng Pictures hacked "Wolf Warrior 2", and Dawn Film and Television naturally geared up to return a tooth for a tooth.
But now it seems that without Dawn Film and Television, the reputation of "Excalibur" has collapsed!
There are some films you can't hack, such as "Wolf Warrior 2".
Some films don't need you to be black, such as "Excalibur".
The reputation of "Excalibur" has collapsed, should Dawn Film and Television take the opportunity to step on two more feet and make it worse?
This seems to be a problem!
The next day, the box office statistics came out.
"Wolf Warrior 2" still firmly dominates the single-day box office, with a box office of more than 230 million.
And "Excalibur" seems to be good, with the box office exceeding 200 million on the first day and winning more than 210 million.
This box office is still good.
Word-of-mouth is a floating cloud, and only the box office is eternal.
Zheng Yonghe and Guangzheng Pictures are still very satisfied with this box office.
Although "Wolf Warrior 2" was not taken down, under the situation that "Wolf Warrior 2" was so popular, it could still win 200 million box office, which is undoubtedly amazing.
At least many media outlets, many fans have expressed their amazement at this box office.
As for word of mouth?
It's perfectly fine to brush it up.
Guangzheng Pictures hurriedly made public relations, asked the water army to brush up the scores, and asked the film critics to wash the floor.
I have to admit that the potential of the film market has exploded in recent years, and even the authority of Jinlong.com's ratings has been affected.
It's a pity that the word-of-mouth hasn't been brushed up yet, and the box office on the second day of release gave them a heavy blow.
103 million!
Although there are still 100 million, it is less than half of the box office on the first day.
Such a declining speed really blinded the acting skills of countless people.
This is no longer a word-of-mouth collapse, but also a collapse at the box office.
Everyone knows how terrible the box office crash is.
Not to mention anything else, the schedule of "Excalibur" was reduced a lot in an instant.
"Excalibur" collapsed on the second day of its box office release, but "Wolf Warrior 2" was sold for more than 3,000, reaching 270 million.
There is really no comparison, there is no harm!
With such a gap, Zheng Yonghe was obviously anxious, and couldn't help but burst into foul language, pointing the finger at Mu Chen and Dawn Film and Television.
