Chapter Twenty-Seven: Overcoming Thorns

November 7, Monday morning.

Wang Meng received the box office results of the last day of the first week, and the box office reached 1.86 million that day, 180,000 less than yesterday.

Such a result is not only Wang Meng, but Han Sanye and Yu Dong are also relieved, and it seems that they have survived.

However, Wang Meng is somewhat regretful that "Harry Potter" was more than 9 million on the same day, but it only killed the sum of the four days of "This Man from Earth" in one day, so that the mainland box office champion of the week missed the first place.

However, "This Man~" ranked second with a score of 5.5 million.

Also from today, China has begun to take this movie seriously, and director Wang Meng was finally dug up and began to appear in major newspapers, forums, and film review websites.

[The victory of young directors, there are successors to Chinese films. 】”

"I won't comment on the content of "This Man is from Earth", let's talk about the director who has contributed the most to this film. It is not difficult to find that viewers who watch this movie seriously will find an unfamiliar name......"

"A student of the 04-level directing department of the opera, a young director under the age of 21 - Wang Meng."

It can be said that the wonderful script and the unbridled whimsy have achieved such a small budget and high box office. And almost a film that was well received. And the director and screenwriter among them is the student director who is under the age of 21. Since last week ago, the author still agreed that science fiction is only affordable by Midi Hollywood, but the appearance of this film made the author break the fixed thinking and slapped the author in the face. However, why is the author not a little dissatisfied, but happy......"

"As you know, in this month when Hollywood blockbusters are raging, it is with such a movie that we have saved the last inch of lost ground, and at this moment he is a hero, a hero in the Chinese film industry......"

"Finally, I think we should be more inclusive and encouraging. The author has seen a lot of critical reports, and here, I also hope that all colleagues will give us an inclusive future for the future of domestic films, please don't stifle the future of Chinese science fiction films......"

-- [Chinese Film] editor Sun Chengmin

This is not the first time to praise Wang Meng, but in Wang Meng's opinion, it is the most objective one, and other reports either praise a flower or criticize it for nothing.

Until the end of the second week of release, the box office of "This Man from Earth" reached 14 million in the second week. It can't be compared with the first "Harry Potter" with nearly 40 million, but under such pressure, it can win such a box office, and there are really few domestic directors who can do it.

So not only did the media begin to report on the matter, but even many well-known directors in China also participated in brushing up on the zài feeling.

Among them, Wang Meng also accidentally offended a well-known director, which was inserted in a documentary this month, "Ancient Tea Horse Road: Drum" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang.

The film was caught between "Harry" and "This Man" and received a desperate box office.

"Some young directors don't care about the real situation of society and don't understand the true meaning of art films. Rather, it is opportunistic and sells the so-called 'science fiction'. I think it's a bad sign, what is a movie? Cinema is art, the seventh greatest art in the world, and I really don't understand how to make a 14,000-year-old nothingness like this......"

- [Famous Director] Grange Zhuang

When a gossip tabloid reports such news, everyone knows who it is. So for a while, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods who were not used to Wang Meng ran out.

Wang Meng didn't know who he had offended. Although the legal system of this society is quite excellent, there is no such thing as suppressing newcomers by using power and seniority.

However, the three of them became tigers, and they talked too much, and the audience's blind obedience also appeared, and a few days before the third week, the box office fell rapidly.

However, this director also offended people, this is jointly distributed by Sanye and Yu Dong, and in addition, the connections of the director department of the drama, when a report from Lao Lu's side appeared, all the criticism stopped for a while......

"As the director of the Department of Drama Directing, I absolutely agree with the film "This Man is from Earth". It's not because I'm the producer of this film. Attentive audiences can see that this is not only a breakthrough for domestic films, but also a breakthrough for our young new directors. This attitude of daring to break the mold and the determination not to be afraid of failure is worth advocating, and it is also a manifestation of our country's development......"

- [Director of the Department of Drama Directing] Comrade Lao Lu

"No, I think it's grandstanding, not only that, we should advocate and learn, we not only have literature and art, but also dreams, and science fiction is the biggest embodiment of dreams......

- [Deputy Director of China Film] Han Sanye

"This movie has connotation, and it needs to be carefully savored."

- [Famous actor] Pan Hong

……

Until the big names with profits came out to speak, those opposing opinions lost their fulcrum in an instant, and the box office began to pick up in the second half of the third week.

After all, everyone is not stupid, and the quality of the movie can still be seen. Coupled with the novel theme and refreshing 'new sci-fi' approach, the box office this week was not too large, and it also reached 12 million.

Comprehensive three-week box office, "This Man from Earth" has earned 31.5 million, such a result is really rare, it is expected that if it is good, the box office will reach more than 40 million, as for 40 million how many thousand, it depends on the specific table.

During the same period, some small gossip magazines with strong excavation skills turned Wang Meng to the bottom. The news of "Bear Infested" was dug up, and the relationship with Jiang Shuying was also dug up.

What, "Not following the rules, the young director does not want to inherit the comic magazine industry at home, but finds his own way, and strides towards the director's dream all the way......"

What, "After suffering together, the young director and his childhood sweetheart lover completed a great movie together, this is the victory of love, this is the testimony of being in the same boat through thick and thin......"

Even Warner ran out to join in the fun, "The title song of the company's famous singer Lao Wolf's new album, a talented young director Wang Meng personally handled, will take you to enjoy the ...... of "You at the Same Table"

The earth-shaking changes in the past two weeks have made Wang Meng grow a lot, this is what makes him famous, not famous in the theater school, but a slight reputation across the country.

At this moment, Wang dreamed of Ning Hao, who was famous for a "Crazy Stone" in his previous life. Although I don't know if this life is next year, Ning Hao will be famous with "Crazy Stone".

However, I think both of them have such an experience of becoming famous all over the world. So Wang Meng began to think carefully about how Ning Hao in the previous life worked steadily again and again, thus becoming a famous director.

However, Wang Meng has shortcomings, but Ning Hao really has that strength? I'm just lucky to be opportunistic. And there is the biggest shortcoming - age.

Therefore, although Wang Meng is famous these days, there are still no investors who come to Wang Meng to make a movie, and Chiguoguo is not optimistic about it at this time. Most people think that Wang Meng is still gone~~lucky.

As for taking money to ask him to make a movie? Hehe...... Stop it.

Although he was lost, Wang Meng didn't care, if you don't come to me to make a movie, won't I continue to make it myself? As long as the box office share of "This Man is from Earth" is recovered, he will start his own early plan.

You can't rely on others, only on yourself. Sometimes it is the most stable to rely on oneself to fall against the wall and move against the mountain.

Therefore, Wang Meng has been idle recently.

Not only now, even if you continue to shoot, there is no money, but the recent popularity is a bit sudden, and it is better to precipitate if there is no foundation. Besides, it's been more than three months, and I really haven't been with my family well, and I have an extra girlfriend......
