Back in the room, after taking a shower and resting for a while, Tang An took out the computer.

After reading the news published by several local entertainment media in the magic capital, he turned off the computer.

Even if it is one more hype topic, the recent news about Huayi's group of celebrities leaving has not been a little hot.

After no longer caring about that, Tang An took out a folder and continued to improve the first draft of the script.

But it didn't take long for the phone to ring.

"Hey, Yan Yun!" Tang An propped his left hand on the table, and held a pen in his right hand to write and draw from time to time.

"It's okay, don't bother!"

"I know in my heart, it's okay to go to bed early!"

"Well, bye!"

Tang An shook his head, how could he go to Chengtian, a Japanese company.

It's just that Chengtian has an actor he needs, and he has a big card, and he can't be persuaded by himself.

......

In a five-star hotel in Beijing, Wang Zhongjun, chairman of Huayi Brothers, made an appointment to meet with Chen Guozhang, director of the production department of Columbia Media in Asia.

"Lao Chen, what do you mean by this Tang An, who did you talk to Wang Jinghua for a long time in front of so many reporters?"

Wang Zhongjun is not stupid, it is impossible to conclude that Tang An will join Chengtian just through a few photos.

However, Chengtian is rich and starry, and he just complements Tang An, so he can't help but worry.

Ignoring Chen Guozhang, he didn't worry at all, he smiled and said, "Wang Dong, don't worry, Chengtian doesn't even have experience in filming, Tang An is a smart person, and it is unlikely that he will go to Chengtian!"

"He's probably doing this for hype!"

"I think so too, but I can't figure out what he thinks!" Wang Zhongjun said with a frown.

He has repeatedly shown his goodwill, and Tang An has accepted it, but he has never had the intention of joining Huayi.

Even if he changed the law and knocked on the side, he couldn't get any response.

"Maybe it's a bargain and sell, it won't work alone, China Film has to take care of the promotion and distribution of imported films, and his best choice is to cooperate with other companies!"

Wang Zhongjun didn't think so much for the time being, and turned to business, talking to Chen Guochang about the progress of the overseas distribution of "Night Banquet".

......

On July 19th, early in the morning, Tang An got yesterday's box office data.

3.23 million, this is the result handed over by "Horror Cruise" on the first working day.

Compared with 7.88 million the day before yesterday, a drop of 59%.

As soon as this data came out, it was also shocked.

The reputation is so high, the audience applauds, and there will be such a large decline.

Immediately afterwards, the media comments also took a sharp turn, and some film critics also saw the wind and rudder, and a large number of bad reviews appeared on various forums, saying conclusively that the potential of "Horror Cruise" was near.

"This review contains a lot of spoilers, and reading the review can help you save money on a movie ticket!"

This is a long comment that just came out in the morning from Time.com, and the title is quite arrogant!

Tang An nodded with interest and continued to look down.

"This film, to be honest, if you haven't seen a movie with the same theme, you may feel surprised when you watch it for the first time, and then mistakenly score a high score. But for those who have watched a lot of movies that require a lot of brains to understand, if you look at this movie again, you will feel that this movie is really ugly!"

"There's a lot of illogic in it, if you're a careful person. It doesn't matter, if you don't look closely, there will be a lot of places that will make your eggs hurt.

"Why do you kill people as soon as you get on the boat? At this time, a bunch of people with medium IQ began to say, because, ah, that, before the heroine came up, she was already in reincarnation, you look at the vent under the ship's bilge, so many chains, so ah, I killed people!"

"For this answer, I just want to say, I bought a watch last year! Then even if it is reincarnation, there will always be the first one on the ship, and how did the first heroine on the ship think of killing everyone to get out?

"Could it be that as a higher animal, the first thing to do on board is to kill? This makes me see some clues, maybe this film was a B-grade bloody film at the beginning of production, but with the support of a bunch of people with medium IQ, this film has become a god film that talks about logic, life, and IQ! Of course, it is not excluded that the producer deliberately induces the audience, and a large number of comments and advertorials on the Internet are likely to be written by themselves!"

"Aside from this setting, when the heroine later chases and kills another heroine, does she also react that this is exactly the same as what she has experienced before?

......

The tirade analysis was followed by a large number of trumpets shouting 666.

"666, the big guy is right in his analysis!"

"Kneel, why didn't I react when I watched it!"

"Incisive, I just thought that something was wrong, and I understood it as soon as I said it!"

"I said a long time ago that this is a bad movie, a bunch of brain-dead fans have to blow it desperately, and there are so many ways to see it in one movie!"

"There are indeed many places that can't stand up to scrutiny, and if you don't think about it, you really can't react!"

", the director didn't say anything big about this movie. It's all clearly said, it's just a story. It's all made up by you so-called high-IQ people!"

"The landlord has a very high IQ, why don't you have such a bull's nose every day!"

......

Looking at these comments, Tang An didn't have any thoughts.

There are all the people who show superiority, everyone was boasting before, and they can't show the power of others, but now they spray you uselessly, but they seem to be very wise.

The box office of 3.23 million was actually expected by Tang An, after all, it is a niche movie, and it can no longer be described as an explosion to get a box office of 30 million in the first four days.

This is almost an overdraft potential, and now a decline of nearly 60% is considered normal, and if it can still maintain 5 million a day, it will be a ghost.

However, it will be time to hit the bottom after another day or two, and then you can slowly harvest the box office by relying on word-of-mouth.

And those media praised for a few days, and they just took the opportunity to turn the gun around and began to sing about Tang An!

""Horror Cruise" suffered a waterloo, with a drop of as much as 60% on the first working day, and the box office was weak in the later period!"

"The box office of "Horror Cruise" is afraid to be cut in half, and Tang An's magic is no longer magical!"

"Exclusive reveal of the reasons for the box office failure of "Horror Cruise", eight factors caused the box office to be miserable........"

Seeing that the wind makes the rudder's ability is still as high as ever, I can't see that I was still desperately touting it a few days ago.

Then, when Tang An went to a movie roadshow again, there were more than twice as many reporters than usual.

Not only the local media in the magic capital, but also several major portals in nearby provinces and cities have come.

"Hello everyone and welcome to ......"

Before Tang An's opening remarks were finished, the voices of dozens of reporters in the audience drowned him out, and he could only see his mouth open and closed.

"Director Tang, the box office of "Horror Cruise" plummeted by 5 million yesterday, what do you think is the reason?"

"The first working day fell by as much as 60%, are the audience tired of watching?"

"The box office follow-up is weak, is there really no market for horror films?"
