Chapter 417 The media is not optimistic again? Touching post!

With the completion of "Untouchable", Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company announced the release time of the film, that is, February 24, 2004, which suddenly caused a lot of media bombardment.

Yahoo News wrote on the Internet: Will you watch a movie shot in just two months? With Director Smith Chow's "Fuse" filming last year suddenly becoming popular around the world, it seems that our Director Smith Chow can't hold his heart down, and even shot a comedy "Untouchable" just two months later, do we dare to go to the theater to watch such a film? I think Smith Chow was too confident.

When "Untouchable" announced the release date on the Internet, everyone exclaimed that Director Smith Chow's speed of filming was too fast, and I don't know whether it was jealousy or admiration, and the media began to evaluate things at this time.

"I believe that we will not be wrong this time, with the rapid changes in the film market, those who want to use the audience and popularity accumulated by previous films to blindly make thoughtless films that only want to make money will definitely fail, and will gradually be disgusted by the audience and friends. What about even the big directors of Hollywood? After all, he is young, and Director Smith can't escape the atmosphere of commercialization, and "Untouchable" is no longer worth our expectations. —The San Francisco Chronicle

"Commercial films have indeed brought new vitality to the film market, and the premise is that they must be loved by the audience, with gorgeous scenes, fantastic special effects, and a strong star cast. Obviously, director Smith Zhou can't see these elements at all in the movie "Untouchable" filmed this time, let alone box office results? I really don't know if this guy's brain is broken, and he dares to announce the release time of this film under such circumstances. - The Wall Street Journal

Andrew, of The New York Observer, wrote bluntly: It takes three days from preparation to shooting for a film. The plot is written while filming, and the filming process is only two months, I really admire Smith Zhou's courage, I believe that no one can do such a crazy thing, and they will not do such an irresponsible thing.

Obviously, Smith Week just wants to catch up with the prime time of global movies and get a handful of money from the audience, but in such a blatant and unconcealed situation, will the audience still buy such a film shot by director Smith Week?

I'm a spectator now. Very solemnly said the mood at this time, I feel that Director Smith Zhou is insulting my IQ, he really thinks that he has a few blockbuster movies, and he can make money in the hands of the audience by shooting a movie casually?

I'm here now, in all seriousness, to tell Mr. Smith Chow that you're wrong.

I'm willing to bet that no one will go to the cinema to see your Untouchable. If the box office score can exceed 50 million, I, Andrew, will kneel in front of you and compensate you.

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth when he saw what Andrew wrote on the Internet. At this time, Benjamin's heart was like an ant on a hot pot, but seeing that Zhou Shaoming at this time obviously didn't care, he asked, "Zhou, you take a look." What does the media say about our film, aren't you anxious? ”

Zhou Shaoming took a leisurely puff of his cigar, spat a circle of cigarettes at Benjamin, and said indifferently: "What do others say about me." How could I possibly stop it? ”

Seeing Zhou Shaoming's usual expression, Benjamin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Zhou." Now I feel more and more empty-hearted, and feel that if the media is allowed to talk nonsense without real evidence, even if we work hard to make the post-editing and other methods of this film very good, it is not very useful, and too short a shooting time will make the audience disgusted with this film, which will directly affect our box office results. ”

Zhou Shaoming sighed and said to Benjamin: "That's because you have a weak heart, you didn't think to pay attention to such a thing, writing or reporting such a fact, it is indeed the freedom of the news media, if everyone likes to discuss, I don't have the right to dry up people's right to talk freely." ”

Benjamin looked at Zhou Shaoming's appearance, and it was obvious that Zhou Shaoming would be sprayed by the media whenever the movie came out, because every time Zhou Shaoming was released and finally released, he received media attention. But every time it turned out that their comments and guesses were wrong.

Therefore, gradually Zhou Shaoming began to stop paying attention to these things. is more focused on other things, and every time the box office results come out, Zhou Shaoming always smiles at the corner of his mouth, because he has responded to those who are not very optimistic about people and the media with direct results.

Benjamin is afraid that Zhou Shaoming will be too conceited this time, which will lead to the death of these untrue conjectures before the movie is released.

So Benjamin still came up with a way to ask Zhou Shaoming for instructions: "Do you want me to find some clips about our hard work to shoot and put them in the promotional video of our "Untouchable", and then find some friends in the news media to write some news that is beneficial to us." ”

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, faced with Benjamin's worrying mentality, and said lightly: "Let's not focus on this kind of thing, just do our part well." ”

"Maybe too much aura makes our young director Smith Zhou a little overwhelmed, and the crazy actions again and again make us cheer for him, but in exchange for Director Smith Week's blind challenge to our bottom line, I don't think there are any theaters interested in the movie "Untouchable", let alone an audience to watch such a movie. It's time for our Hollywood director, Mr. Smith Chow, to take a heavy stumble. - Los Angeles Times

Benjamin entered Zhou Shaoming's office in a panic, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help frowning, and asked lightly, "Why don't you come in without knocking on the door?" ”

Benjamin hurriedly said: "Oh no, Zhou, many theaters in North America are unwilling to provide us with the time period we asked for for the release of the "Untouchable" film, and in the time period of the movie released at the same time, our film is more expensive than other films, saying that the pressure on the media and the audience is too great, so we can only do this." ”

Benjamin obviously ignored Zhou Shaoming's words and reported the situation to Zhou Shaoming straight to the point.

Zhou Shaoming frowned and said to Benjamin: "Sure enough, we haven't built a theater in North America. And the unexpected trouble it brings. ”

Zhou Shaoming closed his eyes and thought about the current situation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Benjamin: "Ben, do what I want, and reach this agreement with all theaters in North America, although we can't release our film in the prime time we require, then it will only be released in theaters across the United States for a week, and it will start to be taken off the shelves." ”

Benjamin was a little confused and asked, "Zhou, are you crazy?" We created this comedy, Untouchable. From filming to post-production, plus publicity, and release, we have invested about hundreds of millions of dollars in this film, and it has only been released in North American theaters for a week, so isn't it still a sea of money? Have you forgotten your plans to buy Blizzard this year? ”

The corners of Zhou Shaoming's mouth said: "Ben, don't panic, listen to what I say, with the release of "Untouchable" a week later. will definitely be able to achieve a good reputation, although the box office results will be affected to a certain extent, but it is not enough to affect the overall situation, and those theater companies will definitely take the initiative to contact us at that time. I hope our films will continue to be released, if you don't believe it, you'll see. ”

Benjamin was stunned, looking at Zhou Shaoming, who was full of confidence in front of him, even Benjamin doubted in his heart: Why does Zhou have so much confidence at this moment? Where did his faith come from? I hope this time it's not Zhou's arrogant behavior.

Benjamin sighed and said to Zhou Shaoming, "Okay." I believe you. I'm going to talk to the theater company right now, according to your wishes. ”

As Benjamin walked out of the office, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help frowning and leaned on the chair. Thinking quietly: There is really no theater of its own that is constrained everywhere, when will the theaters in North America step out of a new era of beginning.

In North America, theaters have long been occupied by film and television giants such as Warner, Columbia, Fox, and Universal, and the new supernova entertainment film and television companies want to share a larger share with these film and television giants at this time, which is a little tight.

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but open his eyes and look at the ceiling, fortunately, he has occupied an absolute advantage in the Chinese film market share, and when this advantage rises with the Chinese film market, it will definitely make up for the passive and embarrassing situation of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company in North America.

After Zhou Shaoming's "Untouchable" film received a certain amount of attention, the fierce competition for the golden release period of the film before the year kicked off in North American films.

With the announcement of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, it will be released on February 24 after "Untouchable" filmed by Zhou Shaoming.

Immediately afterwards, Columbia Pictures announced that "50 First Loves" will be released on February 13.

"The Passion of the Christ", which has attracted more attention and expectations, will be released on February 25.

Zhou Shaoming looked at these two films that might affect the box office results of "Untouchable", and couldn't help but take a deep breath, it seems that it is a little difficult for "Untouchable" to break through the difficulties this time.

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but light a cigar, and now Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company has just announced the release time of the film "Untouchable", and it has already been sprayed by many media, plus "The Passion of the Christ", which has been attracting people's attention in North America, is one day later than his own film release time.

What a coincidence, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but take a cigar when he thought about it, it seems that he will not know who will kill the deer until the film is released. Finish.

Zhou Shaoming doesn't care about "50 First Loves" released in Colombia at all, according to the release schedule, it is obvious that after the release of "Untouchable", the popularity of this "50 First Love" film has obviously been outdated.

Zhou Shaoming is not worried that "Untouchable" will not be able to match "The Passion of the Christ" at the box office, but because the last filmed "Fuse" did not meet an opponent during the release time period and regretted that Zhou Shaoming was a little excited at this time, and he was looking forward to the arrival of the box office war in February.

"Smith Zhou seems to have fallen into the most passive situation this time, with the release time of "The Passion of the Christ" that people are looking forward to, it seems that Mr. Smith Zhou, one of the most talented directors in Hollywood, has to change the release time of the film "Untouchable", which he just shot in a hurry." Chicago Daily News

"Director Smith Chow's plan to attract money seems to be failing, and the release time of the much-talked-about "The Passion of the Christ" is only the day after "Untouchable", which seems to be directed at Director Smith Chow, and at this moment, it is conceivable that the dismal box office results of "Untouchable" are being felt." Los Angeles Times

In the face of the online media's disapproval of the film "Untouchable", and even more ridiculed Zhou Shaoming's indiscriminate bombardment, suddenly. In a video on the Internet, a netizen chased Zhou's post, which became a popular post on the Internet for a while, and it was clicked more than a million times on the same day, and there were countless reposts.

The post originated from a video in the square on the last day of 2003, where Zhou Shaoming came to pray at the request of Avril Lavigne. was suddenly interviewed by a live radio reporter, but halfway through, the reporter discovered Avril's identity.

Just when Zhou Shaoming took his glasses. escorted Avril out of the square.

The picture of the reporter's interview with Avril in front of this video was obviously intercepted by the radio, and later when Zhou Shaoming took off his glasses and escorted Avril out of the square, it was obviously filmed by this netizen chasing Zhou.

Under the video, there are constantly posters of Zhou Shaoming's filming of "Untouchable" this time, as well as promotional pictures. There are two bearded men at the beginning and end of this post.

It's Zhou Shaoming and François. Cruze photo, contrast of two facing emaciated men.

When he saw the end, this netizen chased Zhou's anger and said: You always see Director Smith Zhou finish filming this movie so quickly in two months, why don't you see them working overtime day and night to shoot, even I, a fan, know that this movie was filmed like this. That's the crew of "Untouchable" who dare to shoot day and night every day.

Although we don't know why Director Smith Chow was in such a hurry to make this film, we absolutely believe in Director Smith Chow's films, because every film he made never disappointed us.

Time and time again, we see that the media are accusing Mr. Smith Zhou, and we see people around us talking about this matter. Several times I couldn't resist the urge to come up and scold them.

But I knew it wasn't going to work, so I teamed up with other fans of the week to find the information. It is enough to fight back against those reporters and media who only rely on their mouths to talk and do not think about things.

Director Smith Chow once grew a long beard on the way to the film, which can be imagined on the way to this shoot. Our dear director Smith Chow didn't even have time to shave his beard, and I felt deeply disgusted and disgusted to see the ugly faces of those who only knew that they were jealous of Smith Chow's talent and had ulterior motives.

Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Smith Week for bringing us the "Untouchable" film on Valentine's Day, no matter what others think or think, we will definitely support it to the end!

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but froze, looking at this netizen's post, Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart, he finally didn't work so hard to shoot the "Untouchable" film in vain, it is conceivable that every fan who participated in the filming of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company would dare to shed tears when they saw this post.

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but close this post, chasing Zhou? It seems to be a girl's post, it seems that my Zhou Shaoming's charm is still very strong, and as soon as he was criticized by the media, someone stood up to cheer him up.

"The genius Smith Week occupies a certain popularity in the minds of the audience, when everyone is not optimistic about this "Untouchable", it seems that there is something we did not imagine, and now it seems that the genius director Smith Zhou seems to be showing us again with lightning speed, which is worth our expectation!" USA Today

"Crazy? It seems that only these two words are used to describe our director Smith Chow. Already one of Hollywood's top directors and one of the world's most famous directors, no one seemed to have thought that Smith Week would work so hard? Is it just to get money out of the audience's pockets? The answer will only be revealed after the film is released. Chicago Daily News

Kirk Alta, a well-known film critic of "The Hollywood Reporter", wrote: No Hollywood director has ever had such a desperate spirit, as if our Smith Week director is fighting for tomorrow, but Smith Week, who has reached the top director, still needs to work so hard? The answer may be no. But you are all wrong, because Director Smith Zhou has taken on too many responsibilities, and he must have a reason to do so, in order to continue to make progress and bring new horizons to our film industry. That's what I think of the Chinese director Smith Chow.

Benjamin knocked on Zhou Shaoming's door early in the morning, and Zhou Shaoming had just blown his cigar and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as Benjamin entered Zhou Shaoming's office, he couldn't help but say to Zhou Shaoming: "Zhou, have you seen the post about you on the Internet?" The number of hits has already exceeded 5 million. ”

Zhou Shaoming was stunned and couldn't help asking: "The power of online communication is really powerful, and the number of hits when I watched it was less than 1 million." ”

Benjamin exclaimed excitedly, "You see it." Great, this post really solves our passive situation at this point. Thank God so much. ”

Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but shake his head and said: "We just need to do our own thing, and the first task now is to prepare the plan for the decisive battle in 2004." All right? (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
