Chapter 129: Public Opinion
The box office of "Touching the Golden Captain" was released in the first week, directly creating a new record for Chinese films.
The global box office exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the media couldn't wait to crown Shen Lin the title of box office king.
"People's Daily" also specially wrote an article to commend Shen Lin, and Yang Ma even left a three-minute footage in the news broadcast to broadcast the clip of the interview with Shen Lin.
The interview with him was CCTV's anchor Li Shishi.
Although I don't know why Master Li came to the interview, Shen Lin sat precariously with serious people written on his face, looking at the camera.
The news network captured three minutes of footage:
"Director Shen, can you ask why you want to make a movie with the theme of "Touching the Golden Captain"?"
"The main reason is that I promised that fans will definitely put "Tomb Robbery Notes" on the big screen for a long time, of course, filming "Touching the Golden Captain" is to try to use Hollywood technology to serve traditional oriental stories on a certain level, and I think this is the most correct way for Chinese films to take. Of course, I hope the censorship can be relaxed a little, movies are just movies, in a sense, "Touching the Golden Captain" belongs to an adventure movie with fantasy colors, and the tombs mentioned in it are all circulated in folklore, I don't think anyone is stupid enough to rob the tomb because they watched the movie!"
"Now, the global box office of "Captain Touching Gold" has exceeded 500 million US dollars, did you expect such a good box office performance?"
"The project "Tomb Robbery Notes", we started to file the case in 13 years, and we have been preparing for almost three years, and we can have such a market performance as we are now, in fact, we have thought about it before, the box office is very good, and I am very happy, which shows that we tell the story with our hearts, and audiences all over the world like it. ”
"Can you give us an idea of your final box office prediction for this movie?"
"Of course, the more the better, well, if I had to say, I think it should be able to reach 650 million US dollars in China, and the global box office is estimated to be 1.3 billion US dollars. ”
"Okay, thank you Director Shen Lin, by the way, one last question, many people think that you are already the most powerful director in China, do you think so?"
"No, no, no, I'm too far behind, without the hard work of my predecessors to create a good film environment, it would be impossible to have such a market as I am now, let alone me as a director!"
……
With the box office miracle of "Touching the Golden Captain", there will definitely be a lot of contradictory.
It's normal, there are always people who feel that standing in the public is the truth!
"Am I the only one who thinks that "Captain Touching Gold" is actually very ordinary? Not to mention that compared with "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "National Treasure", I feel that I can't even compare with "Dragon Quest"! I really don't know what Shen Lin did with $150 million!"
"After watching the premiere, I came, and the water army worked hard to brush up with a score of 8.3. Hu Ge, who gave me a star and thought he was very handsome, and everything else, what kind of stuff was that? But for Shen Lin, what can you ask for? Many people say that I am pretending, but I can only say that I don't think the refrigerator is good, and I don't need to know how to refrigerate myself!"
"It's so rotten, your country's navy is really terrifying, such a film actually gives five stars!"
"The final box office of this film should reflect the overall quality of the Chinese audience, I will wait and see!"
Especially after the release of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", there were a bunch of people who frantically belittled "Captain Touching Gold", and frantically stepped on "Captain Touching Gold" at various levels.
"It's 100 times better than that garbage "Touching the Golden Captain", you are the real movie!"
"Thank you, Aunt Rowling, for taking me back to this world of Hogwarts and magic. Here, all the damaged can be rebuilt, the memories of panic will disappear, and a good dream will wake up, only love and warmth will never be lost. (The pace of the first half is relatively slow, because it is necessary to introduce this magical world clearly, and the back is more and more exciting, and the visual effects are by far the most awesome, there is no one)!"
Not only that, but even Shen Lin's answer to students' questions at the China Normal University roadshow was dug up by the media, accusing him of not saying that kind of thing at the university.
"How can a public figure be respected by the public when he says something that is obviously self-interested in the university that 'the adult world is only good and bad,' and even openly opposes the benefits of reading, is a serious slander against society?
Or simply say, 'Is the prevalence of egoism a social pathology, or is it because of the unscrupulous words of public figures?'
In short, a week after the domestic release of "Touching the Golden Captain", a bunch of things hit like a tide.
Of course, it has little impact on the box office, and "Touching the Golden Captain" still maintains a single-day rate of breaking 100 million to harvest box office results, and the decline is terrifying.
But as this kind of public opinion intensified, Shen Lin couldn't sit still.
……
At the beginning of December, in Beijing, Shen Lin was interviewed by Za Lang.
"Director Shen, thank you for taking the time to accept our interview with Za Lang. ”
After the fixed greeting opening, the one-question-and-answer mode interview began.
"Director Shen, congratulations to "Touching the Golden Captain" for reaching 2.6 billion at the domestic box office, it should soon surpass "The Mermaid", right?"
"This, the main thing is that the audience likes it, thank you for the audience's support. ”
"Director Shen, do you have anything to say about the recent negative reviews of "Touching the Golden Captain" on the Internet?"
"There's nothing to say, everyone has a different angle of appreciation for movies, maybe they just really think that "Touching the Golden Captain" didn't touch their excitement, it's normal, there can't be a movie that everyone likes!"
“… Many people say that the reputation of "Touching the Golden Captain" is because of the water army, you..."
The reporter of Za Lang probably didn't expect Shen Lin to be so kind, and he didn't know how to ask questions for a while.
"Haha, the audience who scored "Touching the Golden Captain" has almost reached eight or nine hundred thousand, and I don't have so much money to hire so many water troops!"
"By the way, Director Shen, now there is a remark on the Internet that "Captain Touching Gold" is not as good as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"..."
However, I'm also very strange, the North American box office of "Captain Touching Gold" reached 220 million US dollars, far exceeding "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the box office results of all places around the world, except for the United Kingdom, are far ahead of "Fantastic Beasts", North American audiences, including film critics, "Captain Touching Gold" far surpasses "Fantastic Beasts", I really don't understand why so many fans in our country say that my movies are terrible, I summed it up, will it be because of " The main creative team of "Captain Jin" is Chinese, but "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a story that takes place in a foreign country? If this is really for this reason, I think you should not watch domestic movies!"
Shen Lin finally recovered a little bit of style!
The reporter of Za Lang nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Then in your opinion, is "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" a good movie?"
"Do you really want me to judge?"
Shen Lin was entangled for a moment: "I still won't say it, after all, I haven't seen this movie yet." ”
