817 Pit baby?
(Thanks to my friend Genghis Khan, Sleeping Rabbit, and Water Rat for encouragement)
The film "Glamorous Girl" was finally released in the midst of everyone's "anticipation" and the apprehension of Locke.
Because of the special release method of this film, it is impossible to accurately count the real-time box office. Because this is a chartered venue, it is inaccurate in the reaction of the box office. The money for the movie ticket, Liu Heming had already paid directly to the theater.
This is not a blockbuster, and it will not compete with others for the box office, so the first screening time is at 10 am on the 24th.
After the screening starts, the theater will also count the attendance separately. The situation is not very good, with less than 50% attendance. It can be said that in the first scene of the release, Comrade Lao Liu lost a lot at the box office.
This is still in the publicity for a long time, plus a lot of friends drove over to watch, otherwise, I'm afraid this attendance rate will be much lower, maybe not even 30%.
After getting the data, Liu Heming became very calm, and was not affected by this poor result at all. The only thing he was looking forward to now was watching a movie in the ranch tonight.
Don't look at the weather is already very cold now, and the temperature will be much lower at night, but his enthusiasm is bursting. Today, the workers in the ranch will also be asked to call a day early and watch an open-air movie with them.
"Locke, there's nothing to worry about, anyway, when we were filming this film, it wasn't for the box office. Liu Heming called Locke over and comforted him.
"But there's too much money invested in this film right now. Locke shook his head with a wry smile.
"Haha, now is just the beginning, if the box office of the film is good in the future, you don't expect me to pay you much. Liu Heming said with a laugh.
Now he thinks Locke is a little cute, and it is estimated that other directors would like to meet an investor like himself. Even now, in my mailbox, there are several investment invitations for scripts. It's just that I really don't have much interest in this industry.
"By the way, are you interested in working in my company in the future?" asked Liu Heming after handing Locke a cigar.
"Our company will also set up an advertising department, although we focus on agricultural and animal husbandry products, and the current sales are also very good, but in the future there will be corresponding derivative products, in the promotion of products, will also increase investment. β
"If you're interested, you can bring some of your classmates along. Of course, if you still want to be a great director in the future, then you can also introduce your classmates to come. β
"Dexter, I'm interested, can you tell us more?" Locke snapped.
It's not that USC graduates and you're a qualified director. It's not that after you make a film, you are a well-known director.
After all, there are only a few people who can become directors and become well-known directors, and many more people will devote themselves to the advertising industry even after graduating from USC's directing program.
After all, the competition in the film industry is too cruel, and not many people will throw money into making movies without regard to returns like Liu Heming. And those advertising agencies are the first choice for many of them.
After all, even if you can dedicate yourself to art, you must first solve the problem of your survival. Otherwise, even if you want to dedicate yourself, the threshold of other people's art world is very high, and they don't want you.
"The ranch already has a good reputation for vegetables and the rest of the ingredients. However, in the future, derivatives such as dairy products, fertilizers, and the publicity of Xiangshui Town will have to be advertised. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"This advertising department is affiliated with the head office, and it is also for the promotion of related industries. If you're interested, you can try out this department. β
"But the pressure will be very high, because our company does not have the technology and network accumulation in this area, and you need to build this department little by little. β
"OK, Dexter, I'll do my best. Locke nodded earnestly.
"You don't care about salary?" asked Liu Heming with some surprise.
"What's there to care about, although I don't know everyone's salary so clearly, I still know a little, so my salary won't be too low. Locke said with a smile.
"By giving me the opportunity to make a film that I directed myself, I have achieved an important goal in life. After all, many of my friends haven't had the opportunity to make movies on their own. β
"Boss, boss, look, there's a movie review. At this time, Hellois, who was lying on the sofa and brushing comments, jumped up directly.
"I'll see. Liu Heming also became a little nervous.
Where can he really not care at all, this is a film starring a girl, he doesn't want to see a screen full of negative comments, but he hopes to see people praise his daughter.
snatched the tablet in Helois's hand, Liu Heming looked at it for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The film review that Helois saw was not released by those fans of Alex, but by a more influential filmmaker.
At the front of the commentary, the filmmaker also expressed his attitude. The reason why I went to the cinema to watch this movie was not because I had high hopes for this movie, but because I wanted to see what kind of standard the film was that worked like this.
"The plot of the film is very clichΓ© and does not surprise people. Even we can guess the ending of the film from the synopsis or the beginning of the film. This is the first sentence of the official film review.
"But I still had the patience to continue watching the film, and at least I was responsible for the tickets I bought. But after the end of the film, I found a very serious problem. β
"The serious problem I found was that before I knew it, I had finished watching the film. It's kind of a family comedy, but I didn't hear many bursts of laughter in the theater during the entire movie. But when the audience left the venue, they all had smiles on their faces. β
"The two lines in the film, Alex's life line and the glamorous girl's struggle line, are perfectly combined. But I want to say that after you watch this film, the most impressive thing for you will be the scene where Alex interacts with the animals. β
"It even made me have a bold guess whether the name "Charming Girl" belongs to the racehorse called Charming Girl, or the little girl Alex. β
"I don't know what the answer is, I just know that the corners of my mouth will naturally curl up when I see Alex interacting with the animals. Stuff a handful of popcorn and take a big sip of your drink. β
"We've seen so many world-saving films, we've seen so many intrigues, but this bland film allows us to keep us in the theater with anticipation of the rest of the story. β
"I gave this film a rating of 8.5. Actually, I originally wanted to give 9 points, but Dexter's acting skills were too poor. Although his cooking may be delicious, and I want to taste it when I see Alex munching on it, his acting skills are really poor as far as movies go. β
"Okay, I've bought tickets for the afternoon, and I'm going to keep going for it. β
Although this person gave a bad review to Liu Heming at the end, he was still very happy. This is a sincere person, as long as he praises his daughter, he will be happy.
"Boss, there are a lot of movie reviews again. Hellois said with a smile on the side.
Liu He understood her, "Looking at your smile, it probably won't be a good thing." β
"Haha, boss, maybe you really have to hone your acting skills. Helois laughed.
In her heart, Liu Heming, the boss, is great and omnipotent. But through the comments of this film, she knew that the boss didn't do anything.
After watching the film, many people gave very pertinent comments. Then the points of complaining were basically given to their bosses.
Some of them are really complaining, and some of them are completely joining in the fun, after all, their father and daughter also have a lot of fans in common.
"Boss, I'm right, right? A lot of people will love this film. Suzanne said with a smile.
"It depends on what happens in three days. Liu Heming pretended to be serious, but the smile on his face also betrayed his true mood.
"Hey, I shouldn't have let you make a cameo in the film if I knew I wouldn't have made you a cameo in the film. Sasha, who was holding a little fuss, said to the side.
Liu Heming scratched his scalp, strictly speaking, he can be regarded as a pit baby. Didn't you see what people said just now, just my acting skills are worse, otherwise the score will be higher.
Although it's just a joke, in terms of the whole film, even if he is a cameo, it is also a consideration.
"Well, aren't you worried now?" Liu Heming asked, looking at Locke.
Locke nodded, "Shouldn't we eat more delicious food at noon today?"
"OK, although the box office will be in the future, but we are also considered to have won the first battle, and we should indeed celebrate. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"Let's eat ramen at noon, I haven't eaten it in a long time. Everyone should hurry up and think about their own tastes, whether it's chow noodles or consommΓ© noodles. β
"I thought I was going to have a big meal, boss, don't be so stingy. Helois, who was looking forward to it for a while, said with a bitter face.
"The feast? That's something you need to think about after the battle. Liu He understood her.
Eating and drinking in her own home, and eating less at the big meal? This girl is still a little dissatisfied, and has a bad review.
