July is really a battleground for soldiers, first "Truman's World" started from the end of June, and then "Assembly Number" strongly announced the official arrival of the summer file, and then "Vote for the Name" followed again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In terms of directors, Feng Xiaogang of "The Assembly" is undoubtedly slightly better than Chen Kexing of "The Nomination", and from the perspective of the cast, "The Assembly" was revealed by "The Nomination" - Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua, Jin Chengwu, and Xu Jinglei's luxurious lineup is obviously not comparable to the grass stage team of "The Assembly".

Generally speaking, the biggest attraction of a movie to the box office market is manifested in the actors rather than the director, and if you look at this general law, "Casting the Name" can undoubtedly blow the out of "The Assembly", no matter how bad it is, the three-day box office of the first weekend will always exceed the three-day box office of the first weekend of "The Assembly", right?

But the truth was not what everyone expected.

With the gimmick of Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua and Jin Chengwu, "Casting the Name" only received 433 million in the first three days of the first weekend, which was less than the 478 million domestic box office in the first three days of the first weekend of "The Assembly", and it was even more difficult to compare with "The Assembly", which was in the second week after seven days of release, and ranked second in the weekly box office list, and the first place was "The Assembly", which had a domestic weekly box office of 936 million.

As for "Truman's World", ......

This week, "Truman's World", which has been reduced to theaters, has a domestic weekly box office of 118 million, ranking fourth in the weekly box office list, and the third place is "The Secret That Can't Be Said".

The work directed and acted by the king of the music world opened this week, and the box office on the first weekend was good, although it was not as good as the 433 million of "Casting a Name", but with the strong support of the majority of fans, coupled with the fact that the summer file has been completely ignited by several blockbusters, this movie still received 217 million first-weekend three-day box office, which reflects how strong the fan economy is.

To be honest, among these films in the summer file, Fang Liyong and Du Anyi were the most optimistic about "Casting Names", but it turned out that "Assembly" was the most likely to become the big winner, which was really surprising. Of course, these have nothing to do with them, anyway, "Truman's World" has withdrawn from the competition for the summer file ahead of schedule, and all the data that is happening is similar to what analysts have analyzed, and they have even seen the final box office of this movie in advance - the global box office is about 1.8 billion, barely maybe 1.9 billion, but it is still hanging.

This box office figure is actually very good for a movie, but for Du An, who was pushed to the altar by "Liberation Day" and placed too many expectations on it, this is an unqualified number, especially with the joining of Zhou Xingchi in this movie, it is even more unqualified under this calculation, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a failure - in fact, many people already think so.

“…… Zhang Yimou, who left Duane, has a smooth sail, and the box office performance of "Golden Armor" needs no more to say, although the quality of the film has been criticized, but the strong commercial ability makes Lao Mouzi still the best choice for shooting commercial films. In contrast, Du An, who left Zhang Yimou, is like a lamb lost in the wilderness, even with the addition of such a gold-sucking weapon as Zhou Xingchi, it is still difficult to recover the decline of the box office, maybe our young director needs to ask his predecessors for advice......"

Others compared past data.

“…… Although there is still some time before "Truman's World" is drawn, many people in the industry have asserted that the final global box office of the film will be about 2 billion...... If we don't watch "Liberation Day", a film with a large number of participants, just look at Duane's previous directing experience, it is not difficult to find that the highest box office of his film is "The Terminator", and the global box office is only comparable to the expected total box office of "Truman's World", so we may not be able to say that "Truman's World" is Duane's Waterloo, this is just his normal level of performance. As for the success of "Liberation Day", there are many factors that have influenced it, and we cannot completely attribute the credit and responsibility to him alone...... Judging by the standards of a young director, such box office results are already very good, especially when the quality of the film itself is still so high...... The social environment of quick success requires us to reflect, and we should not put too much pressure on such a genius, after all, he is not even thirty years old this year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child in the director group......"

This article seems to be maintained, but in fact it is belittled, and directly knocks Du An, who has become a big director, back into the ranks of "young directors". Of course, what this article says does have some truth, so it has been reprinted by many local newspapers, so it has also planted such a concept in the hearts of many people: Duane is indeed extremely good among young directors, but if he wants to be among the ranks of great directors, he still needs to go through more experience, and his own conditions are insufficient.

Because of the success of "Liberation Day", Du An, who has become one of the great directors, has gradually adjusted his status in the minds of everyone back to the position of "the strongest among young directors, and there is a certain gap between him and the big directors".

And with the successive attacks of many movies such as "Assembly Number", "Casting Names", "The Secret That Can't Be Said", the focus of public opinion in the media has gradually shifted to them, and no one discusses "Truman's World" anymore, so this impression is fixed there by the media.

But Duane didn't bother with that, his eyes were focused on something else.

“…… Although it did not perform well in the box office market, "Truman's World" has always been highly praised by the audience, especially the concept of "real reality show" in the movie is even more amazing, and as far as the author knows, there is such an area similar to "Taoyuan Island" in Jing'an District, Shanghai. The protagonists here are also ordinary people, and people can also see their growth process, and observe their daily joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but unlike in the movie, due to the existence of laws and regulations, such observations are limited, and unlike the carefree Truman, the 'reality show' here is more like a colosseum - a troupe in 'Paradise Island' is about to usher in their first concert, in which they will fight like gladiators thrown into the Colosseum. Go fight for a 'live or die' ......"

At the time when "Truman's World" still occupied the center of public opinion, some local media in Shanghai published similar articles, and because "this is very likely to be the source of Duane's script creativity", it has been reprinted by many media outside the province, which has a great influence, and there are still many readers who have read it. During this period, there were many fans of Duane and admirers of "Truman's World" who took a special car to Shanghai to observe and visit these theaters on Chang'an West Road, which added a certain amount of business to several theaters and expanded the potential fan base, especially digested a lot of concert tickets - it seems that there are still many people who want to watch the real version of the Colosseum, and watching the excitement is always the eternal theme of human beings.

And now Duane is busy with this thing.

As the end of the month approaches, DKB48's general selection concert is about to start, and as the general manager of DKB48, our boss Su Jin is at the critical moment of pregnancy, and is taken care of by Du Ping every day like a giant panda, obviously it is impossible to take time to deal with the concert, so the courage of the person in charge of this matter naturally fell on Du An's shoulders.
