Chapter 104: A masterpiece that has broken and sunk
Xiang Laowei's movements, or Xiang Laowei's assistant's movements, were faster than Yang Qi expected, and on the morning of the second day after he made an appointment with Xiang Laowei, Xiang Laowei's assistant contacted Sister Tao Records, made a phone call to Ying'er's mobile phone, and then got in touch with Ying'er's sister Zhao Lili.

The name of Xiang Laowei's new movie has not yet been determined, and Xiang Laowei's assistant contacted Zhao Lili, and the first thing to determine was Yang Qi's schedule, and informed Zhao Lili that Xiang Ying was already working on writing a new drama script and would soon find investors.
It can be regarded as a preliminary intention to engage.
……
Another day passed, and "Batman" was officially released for a week, and another long-standing Hollywood blockbuster "007" officially landed in major theaters across the country, menacing.
The day is March 25.
"Dragon City" has been in theaters for 10 days, and "Batman" has been in theaters for a week.
In the past week, "Batman" beat "Dragon City" miserably at the box office, and directly beat "Dragon City", which was in a good situation, to a sharp plunge at the box office.
In the past week, the public and the media have been talking about how many years it will be before a gold-sucking monster like "Batman" appears, and when will another gold-sucking monster like this one appear next.
Many people are still marveling at the brilliance of Batman.
"007", which was released on March 25, quickly opened the eyes of many people.
On the morning of March 26, the national box office statistics of "007" the day before came out, and it was easy to remove "Batman", which had been in theaters for a week, from the throne of the single-day box office champion.
The statistical results show that the domestic single-day box office data on March 25 are as follows:
NO1: "007" - 113 million
NO2: "Batman" - 58.82 million
NO3: "My Girlfriend's Suitors" - 36.37 million.
……
"Dragon City", which has been released for a week, has not even ranked in the top five, and has fallen to seventh place, with a single-day box office drop to 4.72 million.
As for "My Girlfriend's Suitors", which ranks third at the single-day box office, it is a low-cost box office dark horse in recent domestic films, and the release time is only one day earlier than "Batman", and the cumulative box office has exceeded 80 million in two days, and it is said that the film has recovered its cost.
Yang Qi has seen reports about this movie more than once on the news in the past two days, saying that the total investment of this film is less than 10 million, and its director has been a variety show director of Jiangsu TV before.
"My Girlfriend's Suitors" is his debut film, and no one expected him to be an instant hit.
In contrast, "Dragon City Battle", which has invested more than 300 million, is even more embarrassing.
Time passed.
Under the siege of "007", "Batman" and "My Girlfriend's Suitors", the single-day box office of "Dragon City" continued to decline, and it barely insisted on being released for 22 days, that is, it was drawn ahead of schedule, and the final total box office was only 426 million, far from the 500 million mark.
According to media analysis, "Dragon City Battle" was released for 22 days, excluding the distributor's share and publicity expenses, which is far from reaching the level of cost recovery.
said that if "Dragon City" wants to really recover its costs, it depends on how much its network copyright and video tape copyright can sell, and it may only barely recover the cost if all the copyrights are sold in the end.
It can be said that with such an achievement, "Dragon City Battle" is really hitting the street.
If it weren't for its large enough publicity investment and the wide enough channels of the distributor Wrought Iron Cinema, the box office of "Dragon City" would be much lower.
There's everything on the Internet.
Some people say that this is He Bucheng's Waterloo; some people say that this is a stain on Zheng Xiaofeng's acting career that can never be washed away; and some people say that the box office failure of "Dragon City Battle" is a tragedy! If it was released in a different period, with the quality of "Dragon City Battle", this result would not be the result.
People who say this think that when a few domestic films are released, they can encounter two Hollywood blockbusters like "Batman" and "007"?
You must know that even Hollywood blockbusters, not every one of them has such a ability to attract money, but not long after the release of "Dragon City", it encountered "Batman" and "007" successively.
What's even more important is that "Dragon City Battle" also encountered a low-cost but box office hit domestic youth romance film - "My Girlfriend's Suitors", which sets off the embarrassment of "Dragon City" even more.
With a huge investment of more than 300 million yuan, a strong star lineup of three actors and two actresses, and the new work of the famous director He Bucheng, so many gimmicks are added together, and the performance at the box office is even comparable to a domestic low-cost love movie.
What kind of luck is it to encounter two Hollywood blockbusters with explosive box office performance, but also to encounter a small-budget box office dark horse that may not appear once a year?
The four words that the passing year is unfavorable may not be able to describe it.
To be fair, the quality of "Dragon City" is not so bad, but the fact is that it did not withstand the encirclement and suppression of the three films "Batman", "007" and "My Girlfriend's Suitors", it lost, so the halo receded and became the talk of many people's after-dinner ridicule.
True to the old saying: the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
It originally carried the expectations of countless audience fans, and was known as the most anticipated masterpiece of the year, when it was officially released and really presented in front of the audience's fans, every audience and fan went to see it with great expectations.
When watching this movie in this mood of anticipation, every one of its shortcomings will be magnified in the eyes of fans, and once its excitement does not meet the psychological expectations of the audience, the audience will be disappointed, and after the disappointment, it will be degraded.
In contrast, "My Girlfriend's Suitors", when the audience watches it, their expectations are very light, or even have no expectations, and when the audience finds that its quality is not as bad as they expected, they will be pleasantly surprised, and every little advantage of it will be magnified by the audience's eyes.
It's just that there aren't many people who have such rationality to analyze these two movies, everyone only knows that "Dragon City" disappointed itself, and "My Girlfriend's Suitors" surprised itself.
As a result, "Dragon City" continues to be belittled, and "My Girlfriend's Suitors" continues to be glorified.
Just in March, when the domestic film market was changing, and a few families were happy and a few were sad, there was no news for a long time, and the news of Xiang Yingxiang's new drama was exposed.
The title, investors, and preliminary cast, as soon as the news came out, quickly attracted the attention of countless fans, and many people cheered, just because of the word "Xiang Ying".
