Is Mermaid good quality?

With the most objective price standard, at most it can only be regarded as a qualified Zhou Xingchi movie, which is more than one and a half stars worse than "Shaolin Football", "Kung Fu" and even "Journey to the West", and it can only be similar to "Yangtze River No. 7" or Xing Ye's early "Senior Brother Hitting Ghosts".

So why did it achieve such strong box office results?

3.39 billion!

First of all, Zhou Xingchi is very good at choosing actors, Deng Chao's popularity and appeal are definitely not low, and Deng Chao has established his unique Deng-style comedy performance style in the hearts of the people through two movies and the blessing of a variety show (although many people do not approve), if Deng Chao's role is replaced by Huang Xiaoming, you will have an indescribable awkwardness;

As for the casting of "Fu Demon Chapter", it is obvious that the gold owner interfered, and Ali was very optimistic about Wu Yifan...

Secondly, the topic of "We owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket" has really become popular on the whole network, saying that this marketing technique was not thought up by a few production companies at the beginning, at that time, the publicity of "Mermaid" was still focused on the two protagonists of "Star Girl" and Deng Chao, without warning, Xiang Tai, the biggest stirrer in the HK entertainment industry, jumped out again and listed Zhou Xingchi's five deadly sins, in her mouth, Zhou Xingchi is a typical ungrateful, unkind, unkind, forgetful of ancestors, betrayal of the country and the people's big villain.

ho Care？

We only care about his films, as for his own character, what about our birds?

And, to put it bluntly, that Xiang Tai said so much, in fact, it was just a sentence: 'I think back then, when we looked at the flowers and the moon together, we called people Xiao Tiantian, and now the new people are better than the old people, and we call them Mrs. Niu!'

Zhou Xingchi doesn't take her to play in a new movie!

Of course, netizens chose to support Zhou Xingchi, who has always been liked.

Then, the three major actors in Hong Kong, Zhang Jiahui, Ren Dahua, and Liu Qingyun suddenly bombarded Zhou Xingchi and strongly supported Xiang Tai, saying that they were not familiar with Zhou Xingchi.

detonated the sympathy of mainland netizens in an instant, and all kinds of Zhou Xingchi's fans came out and blamed the actors.

I don't know what to think, a group of people automatically swiped the topic of 'we owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket'.

A few producers took a look, and this Nima is not the best marketing method.

As a result, a bunch of advertorial fancy appeared in major forums and post bars, and 'analyzed' Zhou Xingchi from multiple angles, with the guidance of a professional water army, the topic of 'We owe Xing Ye a movie ticket' has truly been discussed by the whole people.

The most widely circulated is undoubtedly a comparison photo spanning 30 years, both photos are Zhou Xingchi shyly pursing his lips, and the movements are the same, but Zhou Xingxing has become a star with white hair and beard now, and the sentence 'I'm old, do you still love me?'

Nima, don't be too sensational!

And the most important point, although the Spring Festival file in 16 years was the same as the release of three blockbusters, "Macau Fengyun 3" was rotten to the extreme, and "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" was affected by the bad reputation of the previous work "Havoc in Heaven", resulting in a situation where only "Mermaid" can be watched.

And seriously, "The Mermaid" is not excellent, but it can barely catch the eye.

The right time, place and people, the three gathered, and the box office miracle of "Mermaid" was born!

……

On January 12, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane taken by Shen Lin and Zhao Liying landed at the Capital International Airport.

Shen Lin knew that he would definitely not be able to dodge this time, so he simply hired eight bodyguards to accompany him.

Sure enough, after walking out of the VIP passage, a bunch of reporters surrounded the exit position.

"Director Shen, I won the Golden Globe Award, is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

"Director Shen, are the actors of the three movies you mentioned confirmed?"

"Zhao Liying, after winning the Golden Globe, will you change the idea of temporarily quitting the entertainment industry that you said before?"

After seeing Shen Lin and Zhao Liying, a bunch of reporters flocked to it.

Then, eight bodyguards came in handy, using their powerful bodies to block the reporters who tried to get closer.

It's a pity that it doesn't work, and it still can't stop the reporters' strong 'curiosity'.

"Don't worry, I'll hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon, and you can ask questions at will. ”

Seeing that several bodyguards were really ready to make a move, Shen Lin hurriedly said loudly.

"Director Shen, can you simply answer a few questions..."

Several reporters closest to Shen Lin hurriedly handed over the microphone.

"You are such a media, I can't answer everyone, so let's have a good chat at tomorrow's press conference!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Yingbao's right hand, and after a lot of hardship, he finally squeezed out of the crowd.

Riding the business vehicle prepared by the company, Shen Lin took off his mask and drank a sip of water by the way.

"Seriously, have you ever thought about taking back what you said in the mountain city before?"

Shen Lin was actually quite curious.

Li Ying also took off her sunglasses and mask, and then glanced at Shen Lin: "... Let's talk about it when the kids are older!"

“… Are you pregnant?"

Shen Lin asked with a little surprise.

"Not yet... But sooner or later!"

……

As soon as I got home, the phone rang.

It was Wang Changtian who called, and you don't have to guess to know that the purpose of his call must be for the guaranteed release of "The Mermaid".

Sure enough, after the greetings, the eldest king went straight to the point.

"Linzi, you tell you the truth, what is the box office potential of "The Mermaid" in your opinion?"

"Mr. Wang, I can only say that 2 billion is definitely more than that. ”

Shen Lin kept an eye on it, of course, it was impossible to directly tell the news that the box office of "Mermaid" exceeded 3 billion.

He's not stupid, just reveal his hole cards?

The light has a good relationship with Ali and Wanda, in case the big old king kicks Shen Lin away, or invites those two families to enter behind Shen Lin's back, why is Shen Lin busy for a long time?

The reason why he wanted to release "Mermaid", Shen Lin thought very simply, to make money and prove the studio's distribution ability.

"That's... On Mr. Zhou's side, how much do you think he will agree to a guaranteed contract?"

Wang Changtian is a well-known respected director in the circle, even if the biggest investment house in "The Mermaid" is not Zhou Xingchi, he will consider Zhou Xingchi's opinion.

“… In this way, we will pay him his dividends first with a guarantee of 1.8 billion, and then pay a red envelope when the box office is a big hit. ”

As for other investors, they must also pay in advance according to the box office share ratio of 1.8 billion.

"I'm a little worried, will he let me sign some profit floating treaty, he fell out with Huayi, just because..."

Da Lao Wang said it very tactfully, in fact, he was a little worried that Zhou Xingchi was opening his mouth, after all, Xing Ye loves money, everyone in the world knows that because of money, how many people he has fallen out with!

The eldest king wanted to continue to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi, but he didn't want to lose too much of his own interests.

“… Mr. Wang, do you think that once "The Mermaid" is a big hit at the box office, will Zhou Xingchi still cooperate with us?"
