Chapter 504: Lu Lin's Pressure
The scolding war between celebrities is one of the things that netizens like to see. Now that Lu Lin responded, the audience wanted to see how Yang Zhenjian or the film makers of "Asura" responded.
can wait until June 5th, that is, on the morning of the fourth day of the release, the filmmaker of "Asura" suddenly issued an urgent notice to the media and theaters that the film will be withdrawn from 22 o'clock in the evening of the 5th.
The reason was not explained in the notice, but the majority of netizens interpreted it. The first is that the box office is too low, and the box office income is less than 50 million in three days of release, according to the current box office trend and word of mouth, it is estimated that it will barely exceed 100 million when the next painting is made.
The income from account sharing is only 30 or 40 million, which is really not even a fraction of the investment of 750 million. But if it continues to be released, I am afraid that it will suffer a lot of doubts, abuse, and .......
Everyone is a character with a head and a face, so they simply admit compensation and withdraw the file, and Lao Tzu will stop playing!
The second is related to Lu Lin, "Asura" was suppressed by Longlin Pictures in various ways, and the filmmakers felt that the theaters, rating websites, and ticketing platforms were unfair, and expressed their dissatisfaction by withdrawing the file.
Of course, few people will believe this statement.
In the era of increasingly developed mobile Internet, the reputation of a movie can be manipulated, but it will not be much worse. If you want to say that an eight-point film was hacked to a six, probably.
But to say that a film of seven or eight points has been hacked to three or four points, it is a bit ridiculous. Coupled with the emergence of various analysis posts, the director came out to shake the pot, and the reason for the fiasco is already very clear.
Director Zhang Peng recalled the situation when the producer found him: proposed to collaborate on a movie, and proposed that the only concept was Asura, in fact, I was also very unfamiliar with Asura at first, there was no script, no story, no characters, ......"
At this time, netizens suddenly realized that it was a concept film, and the failure was understandable!
The fiasco of "Asura" can be regarded as pouring cold water on many film companies and investors who want to launch special effects blockbuster projects, the last one being "Legend of the Gods".
But that one still has a bit of box office income, this "Asura" is good, the investment of 750 million is called a bottom!
From this point of view, although the special effects blockbusters produced by Longlin Pictures are becoming more and more uninnovative and routine, the victory lies in making sure that you don't lose money!
Longlin Pictures has released four special effects blockbusters this year, and "The Wandering Earth" is the first hit, and the mainland box office has exceeded 4.5 billion. Thanks to Longlin Pictures' increasingly mature global distribution network, the global box office has also exceeded one billion US dollars, but it is a good result that has not been achieved in another time and space.
and "The Flood: Lich War", which ranks second, can be regarded as the phased finale of the entire series of movies, which far exceeds that of "The Wandering Earth" in terms of topic and exposure, which has aroused countless discussions among netizens.
Whether "Lich War" can break the box office record set by "The Wandering Earth" will be too powerful if it is refreshed. The box office champion in mainland film history has been replaced, and it has become a stand-alone game of Longlin Pictures!
So much so that after the film roadshow began, the question Lu Lin heard the most was: How many billions of box office can the Lich War get? Can it surpass "The Wandering Earth"?
Lu Lin said in his heart, are you so optimistic that I can win an award? Well, I really haven't won any awards, who asked him to make a popcorn movie!
The publicity and distribution mode of "Lich War" is the same as in the past, and it is still heavily spent on publicity. Traditional hard publicity, emerging online ticket supplements, and a large number of advertorial promotion.
Strive to let the majority of netizens pass the time by swiping their mobile phones, and they can see a promotional advertorial about "Lich War" every once in a while.
"We must make "Lich War" break through the box office of 4 billion!" is the goal set by Song Ge for everyone at the film promotion and release mobilization meeting.
In private, what I talked to Lu Lin was: There is no big breakthrough in his movies, whether it is at the box office or artistically.
Not to mention the matter of art, as far as the domestic box office is concerned, the mainland box office of a single film has been stable at two or three billion yuan all year round, and many netizens have used this as an excuse to attack Lu Lin Jianglang to eat his old roots.
"The Wandering Earth" was okay before it was released, you can say that you can do it, don't beep if you can't.
Now "The Wandering Earth" can exceed 4 billion, which shows that the market potential is there. If you can't break through this, it's not a market problem, but a problem of ability!
Moreover, "The Battle of the Lich" coerced the popularity of the three blockbusters "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", "Nuwa Mending the Sky", and "The Battle of the Deer", and it is also a phased finale.
When Lu Lin heard this, he was still a little happy in his heart, Nima, fortunately I put "The Wandering Earth" in front, I can still work hard!
If this is released after "Wolf Warrior 2", the mountain of 5.6 billion is really powerless!
The publicity and distribution team of Longlin Pictures is united and vows to help "Lich War" exceed 4 billion. Lu Lin was not lazy, and began to conscientiously carry out national roadshow publicity.
This time, a lot of effort was really made, not only the roadshow to promote the city, but also friends and guests from all walks of life to help.
But the most surprising thing for the audience was the appearance of "Chang'e".
This "Chang'e" is a virtual actor, and after the release of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", it has been loved by countless audiences and has a lot of popularity.
At the beginning, many viewers hoped that Longlin Pictures could make "Chang'e" a virtual idol similar to "Hatsune Miku". It would also be great if you could come and create some songs for him and hold a holographic projection concert.
It's a pity that Longlin Pictures didn't know what to think about, so it refrigerated "Chang'e", a "virtual star" with great potential, until "Lich War" will be released.
The news that "Chang'e" attended the roadshow of "Lich War" and will perform a dance at the premiere spread on the Internet, and quickly attracted heated discussions among netizens.
"I'll rub, isn't it, "Chang'e" dances, so isn't it the Jade Emperor's treatment to participate in the premiere?"
"Or maybe Marshal Tianpeng!"
"I'm going to see the premiere too!"
"That ticket has to be robbed!"
"It must be sky-high!"
"Anyway, why did Longlin Pictures refrigerate Chang'e Fairy, when "Houyi Shooting the Sun" was first released, if it was launched, it would definitely be a virtual idol that was popular all over Asia!"
"Fairy, just let you mortals see it, what kind of fairy is that!"
"Grab a ticket to the premiere!"
"No, more than 6,000 premiere tickets, seconds!"
"I really want to see Chang'e dance, what should I do if I don't have a ticket, I'm in a hurry, I'm waiting online!"
