Chapter 248: Not optimistic

"I don't think that investing in a 20 million film can recover costs or even make a profit in the case of a downturn in the film market, I am not surprised if Bai Xiang Studio has overseas channels, after all, Zhou Bai's previous films have made a lot of money overseas, such as "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss" after winning the award to sell the copyright is very smooth, but domestic films are now a pool of backwater, so I am not optimistic. When Feng Xiaogang was interviewed by reporters, he was not optimistic about the box office of "Fifty First Loves".

"Of course, if Zhou Bai can create a miracle and get tens of millions of box office in the summer, I will be very happy, because this is a good thing for everyone, which means that the film market has begun to pick up after several years of cold winter. He added that these were the words of a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment when he was interviewed about his views on recent domestic films.

Feng Xiaogang's idea represents the idea of most people, and now domestic films can be said to be after a few years of cold winter, there are few people who can maintain confidence in the box office, Feng Xiaogang naturally has the right to speak, and his "Feng's comedy" is almost the only money-making film in the film market.

Everyone who knew that Zhou Bai invested 20 million of himself for "Fifty Times of First Love" was shocked, because in terms of casting, except for Zhou Bai who has some box office appeal, none of the other actors can drive the box office, whether it is Liu Ye, Yuan Xiang, Li Bingbing, Deng Chao, Teng Rujun, such a cast costs 20 million, everyone thinks it is incredible.

Think about it, Liu Ye and Yuan Xiang are literary and artistic coffees, and none of the movies have a good box office, Yuan Xiang can also say that the box office of "Spring Rhapsody" and "Blue Love" is okay, Liu Ye needless to say, the domestic box office of "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" adds up to less than a few hundred thousand, which is equal to nothing.

Li Bingbing is a TV café, and her fame is okay now, but there is no masterpiece, "Young Bao Qingtian" made her initially popular, but just like that, it is far from having any box office appeal, which is why Wang Jinhua stuffed her into the crew of "Fifty Times of First Love", and wanted to brush up on her qualifications.

Not to mention Deng Chao, he is completely a newcomer, and now the people who have played Chinese dramas know him, who knows the name of Deng Chao?

It is difficult for literary and artistic coffee to drive the box office, this is a recognized fact, the reason why "Fifty Times of First Love" has a bit of box office appeal for Zhou Bai is here, because Zhou Bai's positioning is a little vague, and a lot of literary films have been made, but the box office is not bad, "National Anthem" is 10 million, "My Father and Mother" is 16 million, the box office of these two movies can be said to be unexpectedly good, which shows that he still has box office appeal.

"My Father and Mother" You can say that it all depends on Lao Mouzi's fame to drive the box office, and there is nothing wrong with that, but in addition to the charter of public institutions and other private venues for the main theme movie like "National Anthem", there are also many ordinary people who enter the movie to watch the movie, Zhou Bai is a well-deserved starring role, and this credit cannot be erased.

What's more, a movie like "Blue Love", in the case of poor distribution, can still rely on the domestic box office to recover the cost, if the audience is not coming for Zhou Bai, will they still be aiming for Huo Jianqi? Huo Jianqi's other movies before were about to lose into dogs, "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" If Zhou Bai hadn't written the overseas distribution in his hands and made a small profit by operating, it could be called a loss.

Director Feng's words actually reflect the psychology of filmmakers now, and the general environment is like this, and I can understand it. But I have enough confidence in the box office of "Fifty First Loves" that I believe that we can recoup our costs in the domestic market, and maybe even make a profit. If the market is not good, try our best to make the market warm up and attract the audience to go into the cinema to watch movies, at this point, Director Feng's 'Feng's comedy' is better than anyone else, and I also hope to learn from my predecessors and do something for the movie. Zhou Bai responded in a follow-up interview.

Zhou Bai knows in his heart that Feng Xiaogang is telling the truth, even Zhang Yimou feels that he is taking a risk, and it is a huge risk, Zhou Bai does not have as much appeal as him in terms of advertising sponsorship, such as "Hero" plans to invest 30 million US dollars, and one-third of the funds have been recovered from the advertising sponsorship and related cooperation in the early stage, and when the film is finished, it is foreseeable that all the costs will be recovered before the release, because its marketing is very good.

But this is caused by Lao Mouzi's special status, another person to take a minute break, Zhou Bai knows the terrible influence of Lao Mouzi, but this envy can't come, so Zhou Bai has to make a fuss about publicity, marketing, and word of mouth.

Zhou Bai's confidence in the box office of "Fifty Times of First Love" has made many people look sideways, some people think that Zhou Bai does not know the height of the sky, some people think that he is hyping himself, and some people think that this is a godsend and a good time to hit Zhou Bai.

"Some people don't know that the sky is high, and investing indiscriminately against the laws of the market is actually not beneficial to Chinese films at all, and this kind of behavior will not only not lift the mood of the film industry, but may make many people more desperate for movies, so it is foreseeable that this will be a farce. After Shao Bin was silent for a while, he was asked by a reporter about "Fifty Times of First Love", and commented on the yin and yang weirdness.

In other words, this product is also a no-brainer, when I was afraid of the Golden Rooster Award, I was afraid that the rhythm I brought would hit the faces of the judges, and I just spent money to suppress the action that was originally going to discredit Zhou Bai, and now I jumped out and sneered at every opportunity, and I didn't remember that I had been slapped in the face once in the Golden Rooster Awards.

"I have nothing to evaluate, some people like to go online and let him go, I spend real money and invest in the movie with real money, even if the final box office of the movie is not ideal, at least I did what I wanted to do, and some actors except for stirring up lace news and making a little trouble with their big mouths, there is nothing to dedicate to the audience, this kind of talent is a real failure, actors still rely on their works to speak. ”

Zhou Bai sneered and said, since Shao Bin came to the door by himself, he didn't mind a scolding war, this kind of thing that attracted the attention of the media, it took a little effort to bring rhythm, and it became a movie publicity hype in minutes.

Shao Bin was trembling with anger, Zhou Bai's words were clearly satirizing that he didn't have any excellent works, he would only compare blindly, there was no dry goods, and he had a false appearance, this kind of disdainful evaluation made him angry.

"An actor like Zhou Bai, after winning the award, doesn't know how high the sky is, and feels that everything is under control and can do things that others can't do. It is difficult for the box office of "Fifty First Loves" to reach tens of millions, not to mention that he wants to recover the cost of almost 50 million box office, which is simply a fool's dream, and now shouting slogans is nothing more than self-hype, he has been on the show media very frequently recently, but all this is destined to be in vain. Shao Bin responded angrily, but fortunately he didn't say no words, but he just bit the box office and couldn't recover the cost.
