Chapter 41: Helped
"Shark Beach", which won 130 box office on the first day, attracted more media coverage, and more and more audiences watched the movie, and word of mouth slowly began to spread.
In the next two days, they won 1.46 million and 1.62 million respectively, and the box office increased steadily, and the theater chain also appropriately increased the film schedule.
The box office of 4.48 million in three days has exceeded the cost of the film and entered the top ten of the annual box office list.
Everything is moving for the better.
And Lu Chuan's "Ke Ke Xili" only got a box office of 1.16 million in two days after its release, which is less than the income of "Shark Beach" in one day.
The two new generation directors are naturally inevitably compared with each other, although the age difference is already 11 years old.
Who called Tang An young!
Lu Chuan is 31 years old, he is young and promising, and this 23-year-old director can be classified as a genius.
""Shark Beach" VS "Hoh Xili", the collision of the new generation of directors!"
"Lu Chuan's position as the leader of the new generation of directors is seriously threatened, and the newcomer director Tang An is coming strongly with "Shark Beach"!"
"Who is the first director of the new generation! Lu Chuan or Tang An!"
"A group of men and a group of poor animals made up "Hoh Xili", a girl, a bloodthirsty shark made up "Shark Beach", who of the two talented directors is better?"
"Completed the shooting of a feature-length movie alone, genius or ghost? Our reporter will take you to an in-depth interpretation of director Tang An!"
There are comparisons in everything, such as with other people's children, other people's boyfriends, and other people's wives......
The audience also likes to watch comparisons, and only when there is comparison can it hurt and what to watch!
If you just watch the news, Tang An has become the first young director and is talented, and Lu Chuan, who once enjoyed this treatment, can now only be used to set off Tang An's awesomeness!
How could a shrewd reporter not interview the two parties, Lu Chuan, who held a meeting at a movie theater in Beijing that day, was indignant in the face of the reporter's question.
"He's just a liar, he will only rely on this shoddy means to hype, anyone knows that one person alone can't make a good movie, we have all heard of self-writing, directing and acting, but no one can be a photographer, lighting engineer, props master, artist, coordinator and other positions at the same time, this is simply to take advantage of the audience's ignorance, coax the public, and it is also an insult to many excellent directors in China!"
Lu Chuan's indignant words were immediately forwarded by the reporter word for word, and then he found Tang An on the other side of the capital.
"In the past, directors, screenwriters, and actors performed their own duties, and slowly some directors began to write their own scripts, and screenwriters also wanted to shoot their own works, and then there were self-directing, acting and self-editing, since I can be qualified for 3 positions at the same time, then why can't I do more!"
"I'm a newcomer, this movie has spent all my savings and it's still not enough, I don't have extra money to recruit employees, I have to go on my own, I don't think Director Lu has experienced this kind of predicament!"
"As for the claim of disrespecting the director, it is pure nonsense, I have made a work that the audience is satisfied with, and I think this is the best expression of the title of director!"
In the face of reporters, Tang An also counterattacked.
The two have their own opinions, and fans have also left messages on the Internet to support their favorite directors.
"Isn't it hype, just look good, let alone make a movie by yourself, it has nothing to do with us if you make a plane alone!"
"Lu Chuan just looks at the high box office of others, and his heart is unbalanced, but "Ke Ke Xili" looks really depressing, not as cool as "Shark Beach"!"
"Even if it's hype, so that more audiences can know that there is such a movie, if I didn't see the news, I wouldn't have walked into the cinema, and I almost missed a good movie!"
""Shark Beach" is really well filmed, and Yang Mi's figure is also very good, if it weren't for her innocent face, I really wouldn't believe she was a 17-year-old girl!"
"Talking about people's hype, isn't Lu Chuan attracting attention when he says those words?"
Most fans didn't blame Tang An too much, and they didn't care if it was Tang An's hype, it was enough for them to see a good movie on the holiday.
But this matter is not over yet, after Lu Chuan accused Tang An, another director spoke.
"Director Tang An's approach is a blasphemy against the profession of director, throughout the history of film at home and abroad, no director has ever held so many positions, and his unscrupulous hype for the box office is despicable!" - director Chen Daming.
"A 23-year-old director is not an exaggeration, a 23-year-old photographer is also a 23-year-old photographer, I have seen 23-year-old lighting engineers, 23-year-old artists, but now I am told that these conditions are all focused on the same person, this is really the funniest joke I have heard this year!" - director Liang Tian.
"If a 23-year-old can do all the work of everyone in the crew at the same time, then what are we people doing? Are we lazy and cheating investors out of their money?" - Director He Ping.
"It's just nonsense, this director Tang has forgotten what a director should do, if he puts all his energy on the movie, maybe the film can be made better!"
......
Almost at the same time, one director after another stood up to accuse Tang An.
If you look closely, you will find that these directors are either owned by Huayi, or they have filmed film and television dramas produced by Huayi.
Before, only Lu Chuan spoke alone, and fans would laugh away, but now that so many directors have collectively spoken, many people feel that Tang An's approach is not quite right, and he seems to have a feeling of being tricked into the cinema!
For a while, the voice of supporting Tang An was much quieter, and was replaced by a scolding.
"Made, the garbage director, tricked me into going to the cinema to watch a bad movie!"
"I'll just say, if you have confidence in the movie, how can you use such a low-level method to hype!"
"Although the movie is not bad, can the director put his mind on the movie next time!"
......
At this moment, Tang An came to Zhongying again.
As soon as he entered the door, Tang An complained, "Mr. Lin, is it time to add some more films to me, and the publicity should also keep up, I have been to dozens of movie theaters and shopping malls in the past few days!"
"Hehe, Director Tang, don't be anxious, the attendance rate is not saturated yet, and it is still enough to watch the film schedule at present!" Lin Sheng poured him a glass of water and said with a smile.
"What about publicity, you can't just rely on me and Yang Mi to run around the world, now that the topic of the movie is very hot, it's time to add more fire!" Tang An drank a glass of water and emphasized.
"We are also preparing for publicity, but when will your materials be cut out?"
"The tidbits have been made, and in the past two days, I have been running all over the ground during the day and cutting them all night at night!" Tang An took out a disc from his bag and handed it over!
"Director Tang is still thoughtful, now you are sitting on all the positions of the crew alone, and it is estimated that the box office can rise a lot!" Lin Sheng sighed.
"At the beginning, I was afraid that the movie would not be famous, so I took some tidbits to promote and attract the audience, but I didn't expect someone to do me a favor!" Tang An laughed.
