Chapter 423: Turnaround
Chapter 423 Turnaround
On the screen, Philip and his friend were chatting, and it turned out that Philip's friend asked Philip to come out. At this time, DISS was waiting outside.
Philip's friend is very worried about the DISS that Philip has now invited, and wants to persuade Philip.
"I went to the Justice Department and talked to Seaver, and although he wasn't quite like Meslin, he still had a lot of files, and he had just finished six months in prison for robbing a jewelry store. If he could do the job, it would be reasonable, but apparently he wouldn't know anything. Worry, people from the slums don't have much sympathy. ”
But Philip didn't see it that way, and in response to the admonition of his friend in front of him, Philip said what he was thinking.
"That's it. That's what I want, no empathy. He always handed me the phone, do you know why? Because he forgot that I couldn't move. It is true that he has no mercy on me, as long as he is tall and burly, has hands and feet, can think normally, and is in good health, then the rest ...... Now, as you said, in my current state, I don't care about his past. ”
The audience's eyes in the theater lit up, and it turned out that the two worlds had come together in this way.
From the trailer of "Untouchable", many people wonder how it is possible for a rich and noble man to become friends with a person who has come out of prison and lives at the bottom of society, and has an incredible friendship?
It sounds ideal and dreamy, but is there really such a thing in real life?
In the trailer of "Untouchable", many people on the Internet are complaining, for such a film, can it really attract the audience to watch it in the theater?
It's estimated that such a movie can't even recover the cost, right?
On Yahoo, although the trailer of "Untouchable" still has more than one million views, most netizens are not optimistic about Zhou Shaoming's film.
When Semel was the CEO of Yahoo, he proposed the direction of Yahoo's development. Suggest a digital Disneyland.
In the past two years, Yahoo has continued to develop into a theme park in the Internet era that covers news, movies, music, sports, games, etc., to meet any demand on the Internet.
Early on, Yahoo was already allied with Flame Films, Art Troupe Films, and Fox. Free services such as trailers, tidbits and more of movies and TV series are available online. Online pre-sale tickets were then introduced.
For this form, it has quietly become a model in North America, but in China at that time, it still mainly relied on theater ticket sales.
When the trailer of "Untouchable" came out, there were basically no movie tickets sold online, and many viewers had a wait-and-see attitude towards such a movie.
At the entrance of 3,225 theaters in North America. People began to line up for a long time, and for the night of February 24th, people chose to see the film "Untouchable".
On websites such as Yahoo and ShowYounSelf, I have seen quite high evaluations of "Untouchable". For the audience. This plot is a pleasing thing for people to enjoy such a light-hearted and funny movie with such connotations.
"Two tickets to Untouchable."
When outsiders were speculating that Zhou Shaoming would fall on a big heel in the movie "Untouchable", but this movie began to come back to life because it was recognized by the audience.
"Untouchable" at the entrance of 3,225 theaters in the evening has been sold out early. This is also the last time period arranged on the day of the premiere of "Untouchable", and it is also the situation when the movie tickets are sold out on the day of the premiere.
The subsequent outbreak has been dull. The somewhat sluggish "Untouchable" began to come to life, and in the face of a relaxed and connotative comedy, the audience's attention and recognition at the beginning were not high, which was imaginary.
But after the film was released, when people entered the theater with popcorn, Coke, and milk tea, under the compact plot, not exaggerated funny shots, and relaxed music, they began to gradually have a deep recognition of "Untouchable".
"It's worth savoring." The audience kept making such noises.
Some said excitedly: "It seems that my friend really didn't come out of the cow, and I thought that Smith Zhou could only shoot those blockbusters with shocking scenes such as "Chainsaw", and I like this literary film even more." This kind of atmosphere, more connotative movies are really worth pondering. ”
Yes, for Zhou Shaoming, who has been rolling in commercial films, he can't help but smile at this time, this is the effect of this movie.
It's not about such a hot box office result, for such a comedy, Zhou Shaoming originally planned that the seating rate of such a movie theater can reach as much as 40%.
Of course, after all, this is a movie produced by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company that spent a lot of shooting funds and promotional films, and Zhou Shaoming is looking forward to better box office results, so that many audiences can see such a film.
"Untouchable", which appeared on major radio stations in North America, undoubtedly pulled the box office results of the premiere of "Untouchable" at the most critical moment.
At the time of the premiere of the last show of "Untouchable", the movie tickets were already sold out, and some of them hurried to the box office when they heard that the ticket sales lady did not have a movie ticket.
I couldn't help but regret why I was delaying time on the road, why I didn't listen to my friends and came to the door of the theater early. Always thinking that there will be movie tickets for this comedy until the end there will be leftover movie tickets.
When I came to the door of the theater with such an audience mentality, I couldn't help but be disappointed. After watching other people enter the theater one after another, there is a kind of envy and jealousy.
However, for a film like "Untouchable", it is impossible for Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company to increase the number of screenings, and it is impossible to change the last screening at 10:30 tonight.
Many people asked the ticket sales lady again about the release time of "Untouchable" the next day, and when they heard that there was no release time in the evening, they said directly to the ticket sales lady: Dad, how can such a film not be released at night. How can I have time to watch during the day?
At this time, the ticket sales lady was very angry, and she ran to so many spectators for a while, and asked questions for a while, and kept scolding in her heart: You cheating audiences. What did you do early? Without asking about anything, he rushed over and blamed this and that.
Hearing the constant complaints of the surrounding crowd, even the ticket sales lady couldn't help but close the ticket window directly, and hid in it to relax.
Ddell, a veteran filmmaker at Washington Stamps, said: For Smith Zhou, who has always led a luxurious lineup and shot a blockbuster with hundreds of millions of investments, this is really an eye-opener, and his directing talent has been completely experienced in this "Untouchable". Some people say that after the release of this "Untouchable", even the investment funds cannot be recovered. There are also predictions that this will be a heavy wrestling for Smith this week. But for these people. Smith Week may be going to let these guys down again this time. No, it's worth saying that I should be included. I don't like to follow trends, and at that time, I was just saying what I thought. But in its current form, Smith Zhou's "Untouchable" should be able to easily reach hundreds of millions of box office results. With such results, you can definitely experience such an excellent literary comedy.
At the time of Del's review, it had not yet reached the final release of "Untouchable", and perhaps even Del never dreamed that the explosion of popularity after "Untouchable" would be so powerful.
On Yahoo, a lot of people sighed. When I turned the corner on the street with my lover, I originally went to the theater to watch "Untouchable", only to find that the movie tickets in the theater were sold out.
What the hell is going on? Many people at Yahoo are asking why Yahoo didn't sell the "Untouchable" movie online this time.
This was something that surprised Zhou Shaoming. Because after all, this movie can't have the same blockbusters as before, and for the bad online ticket sales, Zhou Shaoming decided to waive it.
However, it still made Zhou Shaoming feel a little surprised. Still not listening to Jon's advice was a bad decision.
Out of 3,225 theaters, the number of seats for the release of "Untouchable" was 425, on the day of the premiere. Basically, less than half of the attendance rate per session.
Sometimes under the pitiful seating rate, from time to time there are spectators who watch and leave.
When the boss in the theater saw such a scene, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, it seems that the previous decision was correct, such a box office rate, the audience is constantly losing, and it seems that it is still correct not to choose "Untouchable".
In the face of the two-month box office war, the bosses in the theater are still looking at films like "The Passion of the Christ" released by New Entertainment Company, as well as some film and television giants such as Warner.
For Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, the film "Untouchable", which was adapted from a live person, led by Zhou Shaoming, is undoubtedly taking money into the sea from the perspective of many veterans in the film industry.
Yes, art is beautiful, but art fills the stomach and cannot be used as a hamburger.
For the owner of the theater, the theater is open to make a profit, and it is impossible to give the green light to a movie with an artistic title.
Zhou Shaoming is willing to take Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company to make such a film to lose money, but the bosses of the theaters are unwilling to follow.
Although it has been a pleasure to cooperate with Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, in their opinion, the movies shot by Zhou Shaoming are box office guarantees.
But this time, in their opinion, the myth could not be continued. Because Zhou Shaoming seemed to be impetuous, in a hurry, he actually led a group of young people to carry out a terrible and ignorant movie adventure.
Francois. Who is Crucey? Bearded men in France? Hehe, do you want to use an image that has been hotly discussed on the Internet to increase the box office performance of this movie? Isn't it some idiot dreaming secretly?
Omar. Can Nozomi Black win box office results? Could it be that if he grinned and showed his white teeth, the audience would have to pay out of their pockets to watch such a movie?
There are no luxurious scenes, only bland shots, no exaggerated feelings that make people laugh, and people feel that they are always that kind of subtle and connotative smile.
However, such a film is not for the public's taste. Smith Zhou, after this time, I hope to get back on the right path and make your own commercial blockbuster. That's what the bosses in the theater think.
For theaters, profit is more important, and in major theaters, it is impossible for theater owners to exaggerate the box office results of this "Untouchable" for the sake of those previous halos on Zhou Shaoming's head.
For such a film that is not suitable for the public's taste, the theater owners are not very optimistic at all. And the reality is that the film doesn't rise to 50 percent until the night's rest.
In the eyes of the outside world, the viewing attendance rate of Zhou Shaoming's movie only reached 50%, which is too sluggish, how can such a result be a movie shot by Zhou Shaoming.
However, for the theater owners who have been engaged in the film industry for many years, they have seen the clues, in fact, for such a movie, there is such a box office rate. That's quite a good result.
At first, it was estimated that this movie would not even reach the box office score of 10 million, but in this way, it seems that "Untouchable" can easily break through the 10 million box office mark.
For theater owners, this is not a very strange thing, because Smith Zhou has a super popular movie, but it is a pity that he got carried away this time, chose the wrong theme, and actually filmed a live-action story. There will be many people watching such a movie. Or shoot some logical commercial movies that are rarely or impossible in life, this is the regular way.
A theater owner exclaimed on the Internet at 11 p.m. and wrote: The movie "Untouchable" brought by Mr. Smith Zhou is going against the sky. This kind of box office performance still surprises me, for those who have been in the film industry for a long time. And at my age, I started working in the film industry, and I remember when Mr. Smith Chow took his new film every time.
Remember films like "Saw Horror"? When the audience came to my theater to watch, the scene of screaming in the theater. I still have a good aftertaste and will never forget it......
Remember "I Am Legend"? A thrilling and shocking scene made the audience applaud. On the day of the premiere, the box office performance jumped to 80 million. There are several films in North America that can match such results.
There is also the recently released "Fuse", the kind of mind-blowing moving scene, the people who watch it are enthusiastic, and the film is still one of the most popular films in the world.
But in this "Untouchable", too many slices of life are boring, and perhaps Smith Zhou wants to experience more things to move the audience. But I forgot that audiences come to the theater just to relax, and I knew this very well when I was in the service film industry.
Without a comfortable environment, how can it be possible for audiences to pay to come to my theater to watch a movie? But Smith Chow's hasty shooting seems to have violated this principle. But now it seems that the audience's appetite for watching movies has changed.
This kind of scene like "Untouchable" has no gorgeous scenes, and the shocking and amazing scenes have also begun to quietly pout, becoming a blockbuster movie in the film industry.
The occupancy rate of the movie reached more than 90%, and more audiences gathered in front of their theaters to ask for an additional screening of "Untouchable", but such a request was rejected by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television.
That's what I want to break the news, and I want to say sorry to the theater audiences who have been supporting me for many years, because I signed a contract with "Untouchable" from the beginning, and this film is different from other films. Therefore, the number of screenings has been firmly stipulated, and if it is changed at will, the contract must be changed. It's not an easy thing to do.
In the end, I am still looking forward to the box office results of "Untouchable", and may be complained by fans who support this movie, but as a theater owner, the quality of a movie depends entirely on his box office results. Director Smith Chow has deeply impressed me, as if his film has become a weather vane, the popularity of the movie depends on the audience's recognition, and the audience's enthusiasm is the mark of a successful film director.
In the theater, DISS serves Philip, a wealthy man who is disabled by an accident. But there is no banquet in the world that will not be dissolved, and when DISS's younger brother comes to DISS, there is a problem that DISS needs to solve.
DISS explained everything to Philip, the real life experience of DISS, for a DISS born as an orphan, never gave up life.
Philip was deeply shocked by DISS, thinking that he had begun to give up on himself because of an accident, and compared to DISS, Philip felt so lucky. I must not worry about running around for life, struggling at the bottom of life.
Yes, Philip has some understanding, although it seems that DISS is a person with a good appearance, but such a person has a strong will, and he seems a little cowardly.
Philip agreed to DISS's request and was willing to let DISS receive the social cause guarantee.
DISS LEFT PHILIP'S SIDE, AND AFTER SOLVING HIS BROTHER'S TROUBLES, HE BEGAN TO HAVE THE CONFIDENCE TO FIND HIS OWN JOB IN SOCIETY AND NO LONGER LIVE ON SOCIAL CAUSES.
DISS by Philip's side was also deeply infected by Philip, and Philip's persistent thoughts and meticulous attitude towards life made DISS completely change.
Yes, it seems that DISS is just a caregiver next to Philip, and when DISS walks out of Philip's house and comes to a company, he completely embodies a rare self-confidence and understanding.
Yes, Philip completely influenced DISS, and DISS brought Philip a kind of care and friendship that he had felt from the taste. There are sparks between the two of them in life bit by bit, is it really impossible for people from the two worlds to have a sincere friendship? No, that's not true, "Untouchable" is a film that brings people such an impossible thing that has been buried by the world. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
