Chapter 191: It's Not a Threat Anymore!

Sensing that Lu Ping was emotionally unstable, and before he left the cinema, Gao Lanlan called and turned off tonight's dinner, only saying that there was an urgent matter to deal with, anyway, there was still a day's work here tomorrow, and everyone would make an appointment tomorrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Subsequently, after dealing with this matter, the group walked out of the movie theater, found a place to eat nearby, and ordered.

Everyone noticed that Lu Ping had been wandering, and at this time, basically everyone would not take the initiative to disturb him - especially today, after just watching the opponent's movie, and everyone felt that this film seemed to be good, it was even more necessary to be a little considerate of his mood.

When everyone sat down, Xia Xiaoyue whispered a few words to Gao Lanlan about her feelings about watching the movie, turned her head to look at Lu Ping again, and saw that he was still pondering, so she exchanged a look with Gao Lanlan.

Gao Lanlan shook her head slightly.

After a while, the waiter began to serve the food, and after a while, the dishes were already served, and Gao Lanlan said with a smile: "I said Director Lu, eat, don't think about it!"

Lu Ping raised his head, smiled, also picked up his chopsticks, took a mouthful of rice and put it in his mouth, did not pick up the vegetables, chewed for a while, looked up at Xia Xiaoyue, and then looked at Gao Lanlan, and said, "I admit it, he still surprised me a little." This film is a good shot!"

Gao Lanlan smiled and nodded.

Xia Xiaoyue and her assistant didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Gao Lanlan said: "To say that Li Qian is talented is indeed not bragging! In fact, as soon as his "Legend of the New White Lady" came out, it had already proved that he was actually very talented in storytelling. However, I didn't expect that he could make movies at this level. ”

Lu Ping nodded, although he was a little entangled in his heart, he still said: "There is no lack of aura, but every step is particularly steady." Looking at the whole film, whether it is the big structure, or those details, as well as the relaxed control of the rhythm of the whole movie, it is already a very high level. ”

After a pause, he said again: "When I look back at this film, I have to watch it again." I always feel that there are still some things buried in him, like the toad in the movie, the old man, and the two protagonists in the last shot show their ID cards, I always feel that there has to be a play within a play, but I watched it for the first time, I didn't pay much attention to it, and many details couldn't be strung together. ”

Gao Lanlan was a little surprised when she heard this, "There is also a play within a play?"

Lu Ping smiled, took another mouthful of rice and put it in his mouth, and then finally put down the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but said with a smile: "Why don't you see it? Sister Gao, your level of watching movies has to continue to improve!"

Gao Lanlan shook her head and smiled, "I really didn't see anything......! In this case, this 'genius' really didn't praise him in vain!"

Lu Ping nodded and said: "The play within the play is actually not too difficult, but for many people who love movies, if you can look back at the movie and see something that others haven't seen for a while, and dig out another layer of story inside, it is still a very fulfilling thing." This is especially popular abroad, and in recent years, we have a lot of such audiences in China. ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he said: "The Internet is really a good thing! Originally, it may have been just a hobby for a very small number of people, but since the Internet, stories like this kind of play-within-a-play, full of fog everywhere, and need to be indexed everywhere, once someone interprets something and puts it on the Internet, it will easily arouse everyone's heated discussion, and then it will drive some people to go back to the cinema to watch it a second time!"

"But......" he smiled, "it's all a trail!"

"The most rare thing is that he filmed the concept of 'savage girlfriend' so fresh and refined, even I, a big man, not only did not feel disgusted at all, but found it quite interesting! The last sensational paragraph was also filmed well! On the contrary, the last half hour, in my opinion, is a bit redundant, if he can use ten minutes to finish the last paragraph, I will give a higher evaluation of this film!"

"But...... His last paragraph about the tree, the old man, and the toad that somehow got into the egg should be mainly to explain and foreshadow his play. That's why I just said, I'm going to watch it again when I go back, and if I want to thoroughly understand the things behind his movie, I have to go through the clues before and after one by one!"

Gao Lanlan smiled when she heard this, and said, "Aren't you also the kind of person who has to dig out the hidden things inside?"

Lu Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

At this time, Xia Xiaoyue on the side seemed to feel that Lu Ping was not as emotionally unstable as she had imagined, so she plucked up her courage a little and asked Gao Lanlan, "Sister Gao, what do you think will happen to the box office of Li Qian's movie? Is there a threat to our 'heroine'?"

Gao Lanlan glanced up at Lu Ping and said, "If you want to say no, then you must be underestimating Li Qian! But if you want to say that there is, I don't think so......"

"Oh?" This statement made Lu Ping suddenly interested, and he couldn't help but stop his chopsticks and asked with a smile: "What do you say?"

Gao Lanlan also said seriously: "First, the first-mover advantage! If it is a summer file, if it is a big director, famous actor, etc., the first week of listing, of course, is the highest box office, and in the second week, after a batch of potential movie-watching people are consumed, plus new other blockbusters are released, the second week will not work! At that time, the emphasis is on a late-mover advantage! Just as before the Spring Festival, "Escape Hero" successfully killed "Let's Talk About a Big Business" in the downward curve! However, in the off-season like this, and it is not the work of a famous film director or star, what are you fighting for? Is it a first-mover advantage! Specifically, word of mouth!

After a pause, she said: "Let's release it for a week first, it was the off-season in the off-season, and there were very few movies released, many cinemas and theaters, and there were even no films to schedule, so we could only choose to suspend one or two screening halls to stop the loss." Therefore, our movie was released at that time, and we immediately got the canvas second only to "Escape Hero", and as far as I know, the opening canvas of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is only a little more than 1,000 yuan, not even half of ours! ”

Speaking of this, she laughed, naturally with a confident and convincing smile on her face, and said: "We went first, and in the five-day release time, there was less canvas than "Escape Hero", but it overtook it at once and won the first place in the box office list!" Think about it, you know, in the second week, we have a word of mouth, and the word of mouth in the theater chain ensures that our canvas has not decreased, but has increased slightly, and the word of mouth of the box office list makes potential audiences be the first to notice our movies when they want to find a movie to watch!"

When she said this, not only Xia Xiaoyue, but even Lu Ping nodded, and said with a smile: "That's the truth!" But he smiled and said: "You just said the first, so there is a second?"

Gao Lanlan also laughed when she heard this, "Of course!

Speaking of this, she glanced at Lu Ping's assistant beside her, and said with a smile: "In recent days, the media reports, as well as those comments on the Internet, Xiao Zhu has also helped sort them out, I have watched it, you have also watched it, we all know that everyone's overall preference for this movie! Regardless of the positive guiding effect that these evaluations will have on fans, just saying that the meaning of these good reviews itself shows the excellence of this movie?"

Hearing this, Lu Ping nodded slowly.

At this time, Gao Lanlan had already said: "I know, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is well filmed, not only do you think it's good, but after I finished watching it, I also think it's really good! The baggage jokes are very funny, and the emotional line is also very warm. But to say that it will be better than "Hello Woman!", I don't think so! In my opinion, at best...... It's kind of a good game!"

"This is one of them! Second, although Li Qian handled it very well, I was talking about the heroine beating the male protagonist at every turn, although he handled it well, in my opinion, there is basically no sense of disobedience! As you said, even if a man watches it, he doesn't feel uncomfortable, but in the end, it is a play about a 'barbaric' woman after all! Hehe, as far as the current social atmosphere in China is concerned, although the entire public opinion has always advocated equality between men and women, and in recent years, there have been discussions about whether or not to abolish the concubinage system once or twice, but in the final analysis, men and women are still unequal! Men in China, pay attention, especially men who are successful and whose income is above a certain level, in my opinion, are still mostly machismo!"

At this point, she spread her hands, "So...... Will these people accept such a film that is obviously relying on the direction of 'big feminism'? I think...... The vast majority of people may not be disgusted at least, but there will certainly be some people who are particularly disgusted! Although the number may not be large, these people are the staunch guardians of the most stubborn machismo! Once they discover this movie, they may be very angry, and they may even attack it en masse! At that time, once public opinion rises up in this regard, it will have a great impact on many people who do not care about this aspect in the first place!"

When Lu Ping heard this, he nodded again, but his brows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

However, after thinking for a while, he nodded again and said: "This statement is reasonable! Regarding this point, once there is relevant public opinion in China, it will definitely affect some people's perception of this movie, and under the preconceived idea, it will definitely make this movie lose a group of audiences!"

"That's definitely the case!" Gao Lanlan said with a smile: "So, in my opinion, Li Qian's "My Sassy Girlfriend" is certainly a good shot, but in fact, we have more than 2,000 canvases for him 1,000 yuan, we have the box office champion last week, and a lot of praise from the media and the Internet, but they only have one 'Li Qian's director work', which is barely a force point, the quality of our films is on par with him, but we have no hidden worries, he has!

Lu Ping nodded and smiled, "That's the truth!" looked up at Gao Lanlan again, and said with a smile: "Let Sister Gao say this, it makes my heart brighter!"

Gao Lanlan smiled when she heard this, but suddenly said, "But what...... Don't worry or not, there are still two things for us to pay attention to!"

At this moment, Lu Ping completely put down his chopsticks when he heard this, and said seriously: "You say." ”

Gao Lanlan said: "First, Zheng Yuan was very anxious after losing the championship last week, this week, their propaganda offensive must be much more fierce than last week! And Zheng Yuan's appeal is indeed much stronger than ours! After all, he is a big star in the domestic film circle! So this week, on the one hand, we must continue to run the theater line and record the program step by step, on the other hand, I will contact Mr. Zhou when I go back, so that she can get a little more publicity money appropriately. TV media and radio advertisements should be voted a little more, and advertorials and good movie reviews should also be bought more!"

Speaking of this, he said seriously: "As long as we can continue to suppress "Escape Hero" this week, our film will be completely up! Zheng Yuan can only stare at it! We have been killed for two consecutive weeks, and they are two weeks earlier than us, and it seems that it is the fifth week, even if they want to fight back, they have no strength!"

Lu Ping smiled when he heard this, and nodded, "Well, that's why Zheng Yuan will be so anxious this week!"

Gao Lanlan smiled and said, "Yes!"

After a pause, she said: "Second, regarding "My Sassy Girlfriend", my suggestion is to try to find someone to write some guiding articles, because Valentine's Day is coming soon!"

Noticing that Lu Ping's brows furrowed slightly, Gao Lanlan didn't mean to stop at all, but continued: "In my opinion, the name "My Sassy Girlfriend" is a romance film at first glance, and our name "Hello Woman!" sounds more like a martial arts movie!"

"On such a special time as Valentine's Day, many couples must subconsciously give priority to romance films when they walk into the cinema! Therefore, my so-called guide article is not to say bad things about anyone, but to properly guide those couples and tell them that "My Sassy Girlfriend" has a lot of violent scenes of women beating men, and our "Hello Woman!" is actually a love story film!

Hearing this, Gao Ping couldn't help but nod his head and agreed: "This idea is good! This can be done!"

When Gao Lanlan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Then it's decided? I'll call Mr. Zhou when I turn around and ask him to arrange the arrangement?"

Lu Ping nodded, "Yes! This is not a violation!"

When Gao Lanlan heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "It's best if you agree! I agree with you, movies are movies, and those things that are maliciously attacked, let's not want them! But moderate topic guidance is a commercial part, and it has nothing to do with movies!"

Lu Ping smiled when he heard this, and nodded.

…………

With Gao Lanlan's assertion, I have to say that the little worry in Lu Ping's heart because of watching "My Sassy Girlfriend" suddenly dissipated a lot.

Of course, thinking about it all night, for a while, it was to review and deduce the likely existence of a play within a play in "My Sassy Girlfriend", and for a while, there were various speculations about the possible seating, scheduling, publicity and other circumstances of the three films "Hello Woman!", "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Escape Hero", so that he slept this night was not very stable.

Oh, about "Let's Talk About a Big Business", in Lu Ping's heart, he has directly excluded it from the ranks of competitors! That film is not far from going offline, and it is not very competitive!

The next morning, he got up early at half past six, saw that Xia Xiaoyue, who felt the movement, was about to get up, and calmed her down, let her sleep for a while, and then went to the gym inside the hotel to run for twenty minutes, and then came back sweating profusely.

As a result, he was still taking a shower in the bathroom, but there was already a knock on the door.

When he came out of the shower, Gao Lanlan looked up at him, with a sunny smile on her face, raised a piece of information in her hand, and said with a smile: "Look, Mr. Zhou faxed the report of the investigation company on the film scheduling rate, attendance rate, and movie viewing reputation across the country yesterday!"

Lu Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he walked over without bothering to wipe his hair, "It seems that it's good news?"

Gao Lanlan smiled: "Of course, good news!"

As he spoke, he handed Lu Ping a stack of about a dozen pages of information in his hand.

Lu Ping took it and sat down to look.

Then, looking at it, his face gradually showed joy, and after a cursory look at all the dozen or so pages, he handed it back to Gao Lanlan with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! Hahaha!

Gao Lanlan laughed when she saw this, and asked, "Now you can rest assured, right?"

Lu Ping nodded, but said again: "It seems that "Escape Hero" seems to be a little lacking in stamina! A few big cities are okay, I look at this report, he is in the cinemas of several small and medium-sized cities, and the attendance rate is generally low!"

Gao Lanlan nodded, "So, it seems that we were ahead of him by more than 100,000 at the box office last week, which made him very unconvinced, in fact, the attendance rate of that movie in small and medium-sized cities last week was actually quite good, and even relatively high!

Lu Ping nodded when he heard this, and said with a little smugness: "Next, it's time to look at us!"

Gao Lanlan nodded and laughed, "Yes! It's time to see us!"

At this point, the two of them didn't seem to have the slightest intention of discussing "My Sassy Girlfriend", it seems that after reading this investigation report, in their opinion, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not a threat for the time being!
