Chapter 141: The Crew's Daily

Wang Jiawei is a director who is close to a master, of course, in the eyes of many people, he is a master!

Regardless, he's a very good director, that's admitted.

So, as a good director, does Wang Jiawei really think that "The Ferryman" is very good?

And then a bunch of his celebrity fans pounced on him, 'I like it too!'

It's normal if Shen Lin directs a bad movie, and then licks his face and says, 'I think this movie is okay.'" There must be a lot of insiders to help wave the flag and shout, and when the status is reached, there will always be people who stutter.

But Wang Jiawei never thought that the people would already feel disgusted by this kind of thing.

Therefore, despite his strong support and a group of stars shouting blindly with their eyes closed, the box office performance of "The Ferryman" still did not improve in the slightest, maintaining a box office of about 10 million in a single day.

As of December 28th, five days after its release, the cumulative box office of "The Ferryman" reached 230 million, which looks pretty good, after all, this is just a love movie, and Wang Jiawei's movie box office has never been good, the highest box office of the movie he directed is only 350 million, "The Grandmaster".

But the investment in "The Ferryman" is 400 million yuan!

In other words, once the box office does not exceed 1 billion, it will be difficult to recover the cost.

There is a big Hollywood production about to be released on the key 30th - "Star Wars: Rogue Gaiden", which gathers two powerful actors, Hu Ge and Jiang Wen, especially Lao Hu, the blessing of "Touching the Golden Captain" makes him have the momentum of the first student in the mainland!

This is not good, it is necessary to seize the market in these days, so the producer needs to build more momentum.

But what to do?

Scolding the rating website, I have been scolding for several rounds, and the effect is still not good, and the audience seems to attach great importance to word-of-mouth!

Indeed, after entering 2016, there are many examples of star-studded movies that have failed to create box office success, but some movies that have not been blessed in large numbers and rely only on word-of-mouth have achieved not weak box office results, such as "July and Ansheng" and "Love Saint"!

Then you can only find someone to scare you.

It would be great if he could apologize in public!

So, they found Shen Lin.

Who makes Shen Lin the most topical now!

"I Am Not Pan Jinlian", "Touching the Golden Captain", "The Great Wall", "The Ferryman" and "Railway Flying Tiger" Five movies have been released successively, and only Shen Lin's "Touching the Golden Captain" is not only a box office hit, but also has a good reputation.

Even in such a crowded period as the Lunar New Year, "Touching the Golden Captain" was actually postponed for a month!

Shen Lin's current popularity can definitely make "The Ferryman" revived!

Then, the person in charge of Ali Film and Television found Fang Jianhao and wanted him to contact Shen Lin and cooperate with the distributor to make a scene.

probably wanted him to help Wang Jiawei say a good word or two.

"The Ferryman" has nothing to do with Wang Jiawei?

There are so many big names and even photography music, which one is not his old partner, not him, these people will come?

He came out on Weibo, and all the actors rushed to forward it, which was really uproaring.

Looking at these ugly flattery, it really makes people feel disgusting.

Shen Lin wrote directly on Weibo:

"A bad movie is a bad movie, if a director is so conceited that he can lose even the most basic aesthetics, and when he is so conceited that he can't listen to the slightest criticism from others, how far can he go?"

"A movie is not enough for a group of people in the circle to think that liking is enough, the audience likes it after watching it!"

"Although I haven't watched "The Ferryman", I always believe that the eyes of the masses are naturally bright, since so many viewers have given this movie a low score, it means that there must be something wrong with this movie!"

"Douban and Maoyan may have controversies such as cents and five cents, but one thing is recognized, when these two companies fail to give the same movie, then it can be concluded that there must be a problem with this film!"

"Forcibly referring to a deer as a horse, taking yourself too seriously!"

"To sum up, so, I don't like it!"

……

Shen Lin doesn't like Wang Jiawei, this is a fact that many people know.

He is quite similar to Feng Xiaogang in this regard!

The reason why he dared to write this paragraph at such a time was that Shen Lin was also thoughtful.

First of all, the bad movie title of "The Ferryman" has been tightly adhered to, and it is impossible for everyone to praise it because of his words;

Secondly: no large media company can be a one-size-fits-all company, especially a company like Alibaba Pictures that has undergone various mergers and acquisitions and has a board of directors that has undergone various changes!

"The Ferryman" was originally a project of Zedong Pictures, and later Lao Wang signed a series of contracts with Ali, probably to use Lao Wang's reputation and then circle money.

Since Internet companies entered the film and television industry in 2014, whether it is Alibaba Pictures, Pain Xun Pictures, Du Niang Nuomi Films, or Lay's Pictures, they all want to form a closed loop of the whole chain from film investment, shooting and production, distribution, and terminal playback.

Pain Xun bound Huayi, Lay's invited Zhang Zhao, Du Niang completely stopped cooking, and Ali was still rich and rich, buying and buying, and hoarded a lot of IP resources, but unfortunately, that vision really didn't dare to compliment!

Alibaba Pictures has mixed reviews of "The Ferryman", and the opposition of the board of directors is not small.

Therefore, Shen Lin stood up at this time to 'tell the truth', and the impact was not too great.

1: Disliking doesn't equate to being bad. Respect the right not to like, but also the freedom to say badly. The choice of the market, the market has the final say;

2: When others say they don't like it, think about what to do to make them like it, and when others say it's bad, try to change it for the better;

3: Malicious reviews and bad reviews are two different things. There is also an essential difference between not being objective and having bad faith. More help from others, more self-reflection at all;

4: This is our first step, there is still a long way to go...

Well, you guys have money, just smash it!

……

After posting this Weibo, Shen Lin was about to sigh with emotion, and Wu Jing, who was directing the scene not far away, went crazy again.

This thing actually asked Frank, the villain in the movie, to really smash his fist in the face!

Damn, neurotic!

Frank was stunned, and looked at Shen Lin for help, and he also knew that the only person in the entire crew who could talk to Wu Jing was Shen Lin.

It's a pity that Shen Lin turned his face away ruthlessly.

It's hard to protect yourself!

No wonder Xiao Xianrou can't bear it, Nima, even Shen Lin wants to retreat, the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" is too hard for Nima.

Wu Jing is ruthless to himself, and he is also ruthless to others!

MMP, I'm an investor!

Other investors can poop on all kinds of unspoken rules heroine, why do I have to be beaten all kinds of here?

Touching the purple blue arm, Shen Lin couldn't help but sigh.

Then, of course, obediently ran over and was beaten... No, it's to persuade Wu Jing not to be so ruthless...

Although I know that there is no use...
