Chapter 413, can this movie get such a high box office?

May 1, morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The theme song of "The Voice" - "Proud Boy" was released and promoted on major music platforms.

This version is the official recorded version, that is, the version sung by Jiang Lun himself.

Although he is not the mentor of "The Voice", he is the chief planner of "The Voice", so "The Voice" has been branded with Jiang Lun's mark from the beginning.

And this song "Proud Boy" has attracted many listeners since it was launched, coupled with the vigorous promotion and operation of various platforms, it is difficult to think of a low number of auditions.

In order to attract those student listeners, Easy Listening Music has specially launched the "Come on! Candidates" topic, because the next June and July will face the college entrance examination, high school entrance examination, final examination, etc., so the emergence of this topic not only attracts students and teachers, but also attracts students' parents.

This was something that was not expected at first, but this result clearly shows that the topic was set up correctly.

Jiang Lun plunged headlong into the busyness of "The Voice", but forgot another thing.

At noon, Zhao Rong called and reported to him a very depressing news.

"Jiang Lun, the box office of "That Man from Earth" in the morning plus the current pre-sale box office is less than 500,000, it is estimated that we are going to fail miserably this time, and all the theaters have already issued notices, including Yida Cinema, which has also given the news, and the film scheduling cycle is probably only three days. ”

Zhao Rong's tone was quite heavy, and it was not easy for anyone to listen to this.

Jiang Lun is naturally the same, but he has long expected this result, the film has neither publicity nor any movement, coupled with the low-cost production, he does not have any hope for the domestic market.

"What about abroad, is there any news from Robert?"

"The foreign publicity started a week ago, and Mr. Yu Rushui and they all followed, and they have been busy abroad during this time, but I heard that because of the religious issues in the film, it has been opposed by many countries, and I don't know how much the final foreign box office will get. ”

"Oh!"

Jiang Lun nodded, "It's okay, Robert must have his plan, it just so happens that we also take advantage of this time to learn from them, there are some propaganda methods, they are indeed better than us!"

"What about the country?

Zhao Rong is still unwilling, Huaxia is a big country with a quarter of the world's population, and its economic strength and international discourse power are the bosses.

He felt that it was a pity and reluctance, and he didn't want to forget it at all.

Jiang Lun said, "The significance of this movie is not in the country, but through this movie, to build a bridge with the Rhine and pave the way for our next movie, as for the domestic ...... Let's put it first, if the food abroad is good, someone will definitely be interested in this movie again!"

"This ......"

Zhao Rong smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll just have a little expectation, I hope that there will be a chance to bring him back to life in the future!"

Jiang Lun was just about to hang up the phone, but Zhao Rong said again, "By the way, there is another matter, it's not a problem for our company to sit like this, I'm going to prepare to shoot two TV series, what do you think?"

"Decide for yourself!"

Jiang Lun said, "If you need any help, just ask me!"

"Okay, then I'll start work, the script is found, the director is also found, and you are left to say this!" Zhao Rong said with a smile.

"Huh?" Jiang Lun couldn't help but wonder, "What...... You're not a director?"

"No!" Zhao Rong said, "Where can I be busy with the two TV series? Besides, I am also the general manager of the company now, and I can ask someone more intelligent to do the technical things!"

"Haha!" Jiang Lun couldn't help laughing, "You've finally become a businessman." ”

After this phone call, Jiang Lun searched for news about "This Man is from Earth" on the Internet.

It's impossible to say that he doesn't care, but his sustenance for this movie is completely different from his sustenance for "Crazy Stone".

It can be said that he didn't think about the box office, even if there is zero box office, this movie has to appear in this world.

On the Internet, there is one called Petal Film Review Network.

Every movie has a rating on the Internet, and even banned movies will have it.

"This Man is from Earth" was just released at 0:00 today, and the current score is only 7.8 points, which is a relatively poor score among all movies.

And the comments below are also more than half of the negative reviews.

"That's!"

"How long does the protagonist live?"

"I only give one star to this movie. ”

"What kind of garbage, is it still a sci-fi movie? It's just a room full of people chatting and chatting, isn't it interesting?"

"Alas, what big scenes are I looking forward to when I look at the poster, this movie is a filmmaker at all!"

"Jesus is a disciple of Shakyamuni?

"Ahhh

"Although there are a lot of brain holes in the dialogue that can't be refuted, I just think it's!"

"It's really a science fiction film, a folk science fantasy film!"

"The characters are very interesting, they are all Harvard professors, but are Harvard professors so idiots?

"Those professors were refuting the whole time, but in the end, they still couldn't refute the protagonist, they could only say that the screenwriter was good, if this was a novel, it would definitely be good, but if it was made into a movie, judging from this technology, it was really rubbish!"

After reading these comments, Jiang Lun Waner, on the introduction of this movie, the screenwriter wrote: jaron, and the director wrote ron-zhao, which is not Chinese, so that many people think it is English, especially the screenwriter, even if everyone knows that Jiang Lun's English name is jaron, who would have thought that he was the screenwriter?

Closing the webpage, Jiang Lun looked at the box office of this movie today.

Indeed, as Zhao Rong said, the pre-sale box office will only be sold until tomorrow morning, and the actual box office is only more than 200,000 at present, and the total of the pre-sale box office has just exceeded 500,000.

This data is probably going to be the lowest box office this year.

Fortunately, no one on the Internet exposed the production team of this movie, otherwise, Jiang Lun's phone would have been blown up now.

Now we are waiting for the box office of the national release in a few days, and I don't know if Robert will be satisfied with the film's overseas results.

……

Entering May, the recording of "The Voice" continued, and the pace began to pick up.

In the case of becoming more and more proficient, the program team almost records every two days, or even records for several days in a row.

On May 10, the blind selection stage officially ended, and 14 members of each mentor team were selected to conduct a mentor assessment in pairs.

The mentor assessment is expected to record four games, and after four games, there are only seven students left in each team, one of whom can get preferential treatment from the mentor and directly enter the top four in the group, and the other six will select the remaining three players through two or two PK to advance to the top four in the group.

This competition mode is the original mode of the third season of "The Voice", but after this mode, Jiang Lun moved the mentor melee of the third season to replace the original cumbersome championship battle.

Just when "The Voice" was in full swing, Mango Channel's "Super Idol" also began audition recording.

Moreover, "Super Idol" remade a theme song because of Jiang Lun's production of "The Voice", which was sung by Lin Lin, and was officially released to the public on May 10.

However, this remastered theme song of "Super Idol" has attracted complaints from netizens from all walks of life.

Let's not talk about the previous "Young Battlefield", let's compare the theme song "Proud Boy" released by "The Voice" on May 1, which is completely the new theme song of "Super Idol".

Hearing the theme songs of two music talent shows at the same time in a month, netizens naturally want to compare them together, and it is precisely because of the comparison that netizens complain:

"It's very good, but it's not atmospheric at all, whether it's compared with the theme song of "The Voice" or the original theme song, it's not a grade!"

"What a ghost, what kind of broken song is this? You think that an electroacoustic band is rock? Do you think a few slogans can be inspiring? The arrangement is too bad, ruining this song!"

"Haha, let's see who wrote this song - Wang Yitian! Haha, do you remember him?"

"Wang Tiantian? Just take an outdated pseudo-rock? He doesn't sing anymore and rewrites songs?"

"I kind of understand, this song is actually a parody of "Young Battlefield" and "Proud Boy", and the result is a mix and match!"

"Wang Yitian, Wang Yitian! You miscalculated, right?"

"Mango Station is also blind, the judges invited a musician like Ke Song, and they actually went to Wang Yitian to write songs?"

"Yes, I'm sorry for Ke Songming!"

“……”

The fierce remarks of netizens have been noisy from major music apps to Weibo, to the official of "Super Idol", to the official of Mango Channel, and to the place where they can quarrel anyway.

However, the popularity of "Super Idol" is getting hotter and hotter, and among these trolls, there is inevitably a water army sent by Mango Channel.

Now the hype is no longer popular to boast, it has been changed to scolding, the more ruthless the scolding, the more popular it is, Mango TV is also a veteran who knows this well, and the Weibo headlines of the day are about "Super Idol", and even "The Voice" has been suppressed.

Of course, the "Voice" program team and publicity team will not stop there, although they also hype and know that the more they scold, the more popular they are, but they know the importance of protecting a brand, plus the show has not yet been broadcast, and there is no reason to scold, so their strategy can only follow the normal operation route.

But at this moment, Wang Tiantian suddenly jumped out and spoke.

He wrote on Weibo: "The quality of netizens is too poor, and I can admit that the new theme song of "Super Idol" is not well written, because people themselves are not perfect, but you say that I plagiarized the other two songs, which I don't agree with! You slander a musician! Not to mention that I have debuted for many years, how many years has that one debuted, how can I plagiarize him? I also want to say that he plagiarized our predecessors!"

As soon as this Weibo came out, the scolding of netizens instantly spread out below.

"You're a fart! Who copied you? You show the evidence?"

"Just your broken song, under the banner of rock and roll, and a tricky little girl who changes tricks, how dare you call yourself a musician?"

"Wang, you can be a good Wang, what is the reason why Wangwang barks? Dog! Isn't Wang a day a dog barking for a day? Haha!"

"Surnamed Wang, you can pull it down, don't think that everyone doesn't know your two brushes!"

"You slandered Jiang Lun, he has to sue you!"

"What bullshit seniors, music is about quality, not age, the quality of your music, age is alive to the belly of a dog. ”

“……”

Seeing the scolding of netizens, Wang Yitian became even more angry, and then posted another Weibo: "You just defend your master! Do you really think that your master is a great talent? It is a classic with a good reputation and a blockbuster? I can only say that you are too stupid! You go and see the movie "This Man is from Earth"! It was released three days at the beginning of the month, and it was released three days ago, haha, it didn't even have a box office of one million, do you know who made this movie? It's your master! Oh no! To be precise, he is the screenwriter, and the general manager of his film and television company is the one who makes the film!"

This is a very big deal, there are not many people in the circle who actually know that the movie "This Man is from the Earth" was written by Jiang Lun and filmed by Kuzhi, but it is not nothing, Wang Yitian is an old man in the circle after all, and his fifth wife is an actor, so it is not difficult to find out this news.

But others didn't say anything about it, but he blew up the material, and suddenly lit a powder keg again, and netizens once again began to pinch the whole Internet, and this time "This Man is from Earth" was also dug up.

Especially Jiang Lun's fans, they only found out at this time that a movie written by Jiang Lun was released this year?

Everyone immediately flocked to the major movie networks, box office networks, and movie rating networks.

found that the reputation of "This Man is from Earth" is so poor, and the score on the petals is only a pitiful 6.5 points!

"No! Although the movie is down, we still have to brush up the rating, everyone works hard, five stars per person, brush it!"

Some fans stood up and called for it, and immediately more fans joined, and even the senior management of Petal.com was shocked, and couldn't help but close the rating system of "This Man is from Earth", and the final score was only 7.2 points, indicating that this is still a bad movie.

Although Jiang Lun didn't take this movie to heart, how could he be comfortable seeing the impulsive behavior of fans, coupled with the shouts on the Internet?

Wang can ignore it for a day, but his fans can't help but care.

stood up and posted on Weibo at the moment, firstly to persuade netizens not to be impulsive, and secondly, to explain that "This Man is from Earth" is just an experimental movie, so there is no publicity.

But just after he posted this Weibo, his phone rang.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock at night, and Jiang Lun glanced at the phone number, which was an international call.

After picking it up, Robert's excited voice came from the other end: "Jaron! Oh my God, you won't believe it! Our movie, "This Man from Earth" won the North American box office champion this week! Oh! It won 45.02 million at the box office in the first week of release!"

"What?" Jiang Lun was stunned, he didn't react, "You repeat it!"

"I say!"

Robert said seriously, "We won the weekly championship at the North American box office, with a box office of 45.02 million!"

"Oh my God!"

Jiang Lun was stunned, according to the exchange rate of 3:1, the box office of 45.02 million US dollars, converted into RMB, is more than 130 million Chinese coins!

And the first week of victory?

How is this possible?

Jiang Lun couldn't help but ask, "Robert, do you confirm the side, this ...... Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, the box office rankings just came out at ten o'clock, we won, yes!

Robert over there, excited like a child, in fact, the success of this movie is related to the aesthetic fatigue of North American audiences on movies, what 3D blockbusters, big scenes and big productions, they have seen a lot, and the birth of this "This Man is from Earth" undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on them.

In addition, Hollywood blockbusters in the United States are preparing to hit the summer file, and there are not many targets for the May Day stall, so it also paves the way for the movie "This Man is from Earth".

And the North American market is not only the United States, but also Canada, where is also the center of their propaganda, now there are more than 60 million Chinese immigrants in Canada, that is, one-tenth of Chinese immigrants stand up, each contributing fifteen dollars to the box office, that is a very large number.

Coupled with Yu Rushui's influence, with him personally going to publicize, there will definitely be many people who stand up and support him.

Jiang Lun said to Robert at the moment, "Is there a screenshot report or anything, hurry up and send me an email." ”

"Yes, of course!"

Robert said, "I'll send you an email!"

At this time.

Wang posted another Weibo one day.

The words are full of sarcasm and sarcasm: "Brush the rating? Hehe, you fans are really lacking in IQ, how about now? It's been blocked, right? Haha, a bad movie is a bad movie, and a bad reputation is a bad reputation, even if you go to brush it, it's useless! Really when website management doesn't exist? What kind of bullshit talent, can't buy the box office, what kind of experimental movie is coming out now, it's really an afterthought!"

Netizens immediately retorted:

"This movie has not been promoted, which shows that Jiang Lun has not thought about the box office!"

"It's just that we don't know, if we knew that this was his movie, we would definitely support it!"

"Wang Yitian, apologize quickly!"

"Shut up!"

"Wang Tiantian, apologize first, then shut up!"

"Wang Tiantian, I burned all your CDs, in vain I still supported you before!"

"Just call it! Jiang Lun doesn't want to pay attention to you at all!"

"People just post a Weibo, but you post so much, isn't this a good argument for the saying 'the villain dies from talking too much'? You, the big villain and big tumor in the entertainment industry, will be finished sooner or later!"

"Wang Yitian, don't pretend, people have made the box office hit commercial film "Crazy Stone", and now they are just making an experimental movie for fun, see what makes you stunning, you have the ability to make one?"

"That's it, the songs you wrote are broken, the movies can't be made, and there are several biographies of yours, I don't want to read them!"

“……”

When Wang Yitian was being surrounded and suppressed, there were constantly neutral people who stood up to speak.

Especially those netizens who have watched "This Man is from the Earth" and scored low on the petals, although they sprayed the movie, they expressed their opinions very objectively after knowing that this was Jiang Lun's film and it was an experimental movie.

"I think I can't really appreciate this movie if I don't talk about anything else, of course, I didn't wear any tinted glasses, and I didn't think about grandstanding, but I just expressed my opinion:

1, the scene of the movie is too simple, I have been chatting in the house, oh, I also went out for a while, it was the pickup truck, and I don't know how much sponsorship money was given.

2, although the brain hole is very good, but it is easy to be depressed when shooting like this, as if it is just watching a talk show, this kind of movie does not need to be released in theaters at all, just put it on the Internet for everyone to watch casually.

3. Movies are more like science and education films, of course, if this is real...... But the opinions in the movie are all nonsense, although I can't refute it, and the 'Harvard professors' in those movies can't refute it, but this does not mean that the actor's opinion is true.

4. I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in God, but I worship God, he may or may not exist, this is not what we want to discuss, but the movie says that Jesus is a disciple of Sakyamuni, just like saying that the yellow race is the ancestor of the white people, I can't accept it, this kind of stalk is too. ”

"As far as the idea of this script is concerned, if you change the shooting method, make it into a TV series, and tell the experience of the male protagonist, you are definitely a masterpiece with infinite flow, and I actually think the brain hole of this movie is not bad, it gives me a lot of inspiration, and it also proves that people actually dare to imagine, but it is just a little simpler. ”

"Jiang Lun has written a lot of online novels, and like his "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Sou Shen Ji", the plot of this movie is also very sci-fi, if you write a long novel based on this, it will definitely be widely acclaimed, but it is really ...... to condense it into such an interview movie Too timely. ”

“……”

For these comments, although the netizens who wrote them have been subjectively biased, they are quite pertinent.

A movie will definitely be good for some people, and some people will think it is, just like "Crazy Stone" came out, and some people said that it was too, the thief was too stupid, and the security guards were not smart, etc.

Jiang Lun didn't care about these comments anymore, he can be regarded as full of ambition now!

Ten forty.

Jiang Lun posted on Weibo again.

He wrote: "This Man is from Earth" won the North American box office weekly championship with a weekly box office result of 45.02 million US dollars, thank you to all the audience for their support, thank you to Robert, thank you to Mr. Yu Rushui, Mr. Zhang Ding, Mr. Zheng Duo, thank you Yida, thank you. ”

Attached to Weibo, there is also a link, a link to the North American box office statistics station, and a screenshot.

After Weibo was issued, the Internet suddenly became still.

Netizens were surprised, typed it several times, and hastily deleted it and reorganized the language.

Wang Yitian was dumbfounded, and those fans who scratched their noses at "This Man is from Earth" were even more in an uproar!

Can this movie get such a high box office?

Weekly Champion?(To be continued.) )
