Zhang Junsheng is the leading director in China!

"Crazy Stone" is known as a structural innovation in film history.

Although many film critics don't like Zhang Junsheng and feel that he didn't spend his energy on excavating human nature and criticizing political axes, they still admire him very much.

After all, he has won a series of awards, such as the Golden Palm, the Oscar for Best Director...

"Tangshan Earthquake", a proposition essay, can be filmed like this, which has exceeded many people's expectations!

But "Superbody"...

I felt that Zhang Junsheng had caught a concept, so he hurriedly began to tinker, and he didn't care too much about the details...

Totally popcorn movie!

What's the point?

……

Well, the critics' notions aside, let's take a look at the premiere first.

The audience was very satisfied and enjoyed a visual feast!

And if you smack it carefully, it seems to be very philosophical...

Reporter interview: "Director, what does Lucy's last sentence 'I am everywhere' mean?"

"It's literal, of course, you can also understand it as 'no self, no human face, all living beings, long-lived people', 'such as the one who comes, has nowhere to come from, and has nowhere to go, hence the name such as to come'... Filming "Super Body", I did watch "Diamond Sutra"..."

"Why do you make a movie like this?"

"The year before last, when I participated in the Golden Globe Awards, someone said something that I remember vividly, he said, 'The mainstream film market is very good, we don't have to worry, let's care more about small and medium-sized films, this is what mature markets should do.'" But it was the North American market, and their mainstream big productions were very stable! What about us? I made up my mind at that time that I would not make any "great" or "exquisite" or "awesome" films. Just make some popcorn movies, mainstream commercial films that can make the audience willing to buy tickets!"

"Can you tell us what a mainstream movie is?"

"Mainstream films, it doesn't mean that as long as they make money, yes, of course, the film industry must pursue commercial profits, but every investor and filmmaker engaged in commercial mainstream films more or less shoulders some responsibilities and obligations for the film industry itself, even if that awe is only a little bit. If there is no trace of awe, all that remains is the naked pursuit of profit returns, I can only say, you are in the wrong business, in fact, many other industries are more profitable than the film industry, such people really don't need to choose to invest in films. ”

"This year's Chinese New Year, I'm sorry that everyone has enjoyed a bunch of bad movies, but fortunately, the audience is not very willing to buy it..."

"Our obligation is to seize the market with Hollywood blockbusters, so this year we launched "The Great Wall", "Xiangjiang Travel", "Super Body"..."

"Then what do you think of "Super Body"?"

Zhang Junsheng handed the microphone forward: "... What do you think?"

"Good!"

Of course they think it's good, the people who can come to the premiere are all Zhang Junsheng's fans, not to mention that "Super Body" is really good, even if he makes a "Transcendent Hacker", they will still applaud!

……

"Pay attention to audience feedback!"

"Guide Douban, Time Network word-of-mouth..."

"Ignore it, it won't do much for the time being!"

"Arrange a few variety shows, I want to be on it!"

"Scarlett... I have to go back to North America, and North American propaganda depends on her!"

"I'm supposed to be in the country for a week..."

At the end of the premiere, Zhang Junsheng received a call from An Yugang, who was the chief planner of the promotion of "Super Body"...

"Water army, hire a group of brushes to praise first, by the way, guide the scandal between Scarlett and Xu Yan!"

“… Let's just say that the two of them used to be in the same room... Don't worry, during the publicity period, they will be all kinds of intimacy!"

"Well, that's all. ”

Originally, Zhang Junsheng wanted to hype up the scandal between himself and Scarlett, but some time ago, there was a tabloid in North America that reported that the friendship between Xu Yan and Scarlett was beyond friendship, and it actually had more than one million attention...

Let's go in a different direction...

It's also good, there is no need for Zhang Junsheng to sell his hue again!

At the end of the premiere, a bunch of pre-prepared film reviews and marketing releases were released.

"If you can understand it, you will know that this is a movie about the road to Buddhahood", "In the future, most people may regard "superbody" as a classic", "A film that can stand the test of time", "A film that only people with a certain amount of knowledge can barely understand"

Of course, there are a bunch of intimate photos of Xu Yan and Scarlett Johansson...

The official Weibo of "Super Body" personally ended: Do you think the widow sister is as good as Chunli?

……

When I arrived in Songjiang, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

After getting off the plane, Zhang Junsheng quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at it.

96 million...

On the 15th, "Super Body" contributed 92% of the box office of the day with 62% of the film schedule and 65% attendance, earning 96 million, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese film in Chinese film history on the first day.

He was satisfied!

Of course, it's not all good news, at least in terms of word-of-mouth, it has hit a new low for Zhang Junsheng's movies!

The Douban score is only 6.7 points, and the score of Time.com is only 7.2 points.

The score of "Tangshan Earthquake" is still 8.2 points...

Zhang Junsheng was speechless...

The original version of "Super Body" has a Douban score of 7.2 points, which is considered by a bunch of people to be a magic film full of philosophy, and when it comes to Zhang Junsheng, it is a passing film with only 6.7 points...

In order to make a lot of money in the global market, Zhang Junsheng gave up narrative logic and character building, and belonged to the state of "if you can't make it up, just don't make it up", relying only on a conceptual gimmick to swagger through the market, making this film seem so stupid and crippled, but fortunately, it is very stupid. ”

"I don't have any expectations for businessman Zhang Junsheng for a long time, just have a little creativity, and you can toss a semi-finished product! This time, there is a concept of "if human brain cells are developed to 100%", there is no character building, no plot tension, some gangster plots, and superhero settings, and the dramatic conflict has become very small.

"The stupidest movie I've seen recently, it's meaningless, and I don't understand why it's being made!"

The first two bad reviews, Zhang Junsheng still thinks it's acceptable, after all, "Super Body" is really ridiculous...

But the last one, he was very dissatisfied!

In this logic, does "Transformers", "Marvel Movie" have any significance?

Forget it, if you don't have the same knowledge as these people, "Super Body", he wasn't ready to please everyone...

What you want is a global sale!

Scarlett glanced at her phone, then said happily, "... Zhang, the box office on the first day in North America is out!"

"Oh, how many?"

"$17.52 million!"

“… Not bad!"

The next words made Zhang Junsheng retreat, and Scarlett continued: "The reputation is not very good, and the popcorn index of Rotten Tomatoes is only 76 percent. And IMDB, the rating is only 6.4..."

"So low?"

“… It's okay, Peak's box office prediction for this film is $180 million..."

"Huh?"

Zhang Junsheng was a little confused...

How did this prediction come about?
