Chapter 590: Sharp Contrast
On August 5, Huang Chuan got the first-day box office of the two films "Truant Weilong" and "In the Mood for Love", and his own directed and filmed "In the Mood for Love" achieved a box office of 95 million, stopping outside the door of the 100 million yuan club; "Truant Dragon" swiped 180 million!
"Twice the gap!" Huang Chuan's face suddenly turned gray.
Originally, the box office of "Truant Dragon" exceeded the box office of "In the Mood for Love", which already embarrassed him, but he never expected to exceed so much, a gap of two times!
Chen Qiuyan, one of the investors, also turned a little pale, but she quickly calmed down and said to Huang Chuan with a smile: "Director Huang, the box office of 95 million on the first day has greatly exceeded expectations, at least it has paid off, hasn't it?" β
The investment cost of "In the Mood for Love" is only 50 million, which is insignificant in front of the number of 95 million on the first day, and she has reason to laugh.
Huang Chuan couldn't laugh, he glanced at Chen Qiuyan coldly, and then said, "You go, I want to be alone and quiet!" β
Chen Qiuyan had to speak again: "Director Huang, you are ...... again"
"Get out!" Huang Chuan shouted coldly.
Chen Qiuyan was stunned, and her face immediately became a little ugly. However, Huang Chuan is a great director after all, and Lao Tzu is a well-known predecessor in the circle, with broad and deep connections, which is not something she can afford to provoke. So although she was very angry, Huang Chuan actually dared to scold her, but she still had to get up and leave.
"What are you without you?" When leaving, Chen Qiuyan scolded indignantly in the bottom of her heart, and scolded Huang Chuan bloody.
Huang Chuan coldly watched her back disappear, and then took out his tablet and began to search for netizens' evaluations of these two movies on the Internet.
Huang Chuan admitted that "Truant Dragon" is really a good comedy, Stephen Zhao did not lie, and he also admitted that the box office of "Happy Occasions" on the first day was only half of that of "Truant Dragon", but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. Maybe the audience will recognize "Happy Occasions" more?
Gold and silver cups are not as good as word of mouth!
The two movies were released for one day, and the publicity in the early stage is no longer very important, but now the important thing is the audience's word-of-mouth. If the audience thinks this movie is good, the box office of this movie will be high; If the audience thinks that this movie is not good, no matter how much you promote it, you can only cheat the box office on the day of its premiere. The follow-up box office is not to be thought about.
Water army, advertorials or something, the movie was useful before it was released, but after the movie was released, it was useless at all, no matter how rich you are and how much vest you post, the audience will not be fooled, because there have been too many people before!
If you look at today's audience from the perspective of the past, it is purely the birthday star hanging himself - looking for death!
Huang Chuan first entered the Huaxia Film Network, which is the most authoritative film website in China. The registered accounts are all real-name authenticated, and the vest is not of much use.
Huang Chuan first watched his own "Happy Event", with a score of 7.5 points, and a total of 250,000 people voted, which made him happy and a little comforted.
Look at the comments below "Not bad", "Comedy", "God film", "Not bad, super like", "A lot of laughs", "Brain dead", "Brain pumping", "Mentally retarded", "I have no impression after watching it", "Loss", "Far worse than Xing Ye's "Truant Dragon", "What garbage", "I thought "Truant Dragon" is bad, but I didn't expect this one to be worse"......
Huang Chuan saw both joy and sorrow.
Only one long comment written by a netizen made him feel a lot more relieved. This netizen wrote: "The pros and cons of comedy do not look at the depth and theme, but only look at the reproducible Cheng dΓΉ." "In the Mood for Love" has created a new comedy model. Nowadays, many comedy movies have no idea of watching them again after watching them once, but "In the Mood for Love" is not, every character in it will make you think about it again, the difference is only in the scenes created by other comedy movies, and "In the Mood for Love" creates characters. The scene is just a movie gimmick, if you want to play, just play a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, it's all scenes; The difference between the characters is the real movie, plus the master music. "In the Mood for Love" is a classic! β
Huang Chuan admitted that this netizen said that he was in his heart, and he was too right, he thought so.
Stunned for a while, Huang Chuan sighed, and then searched for "Truant Dragon" to see how the audience reputation of "Truant Dragon" was.
As soon as he entered, the first thing that entered Huang Chuan's sight was a bright red number "8.5", which directly made him not calm, his face was red, his eyes were red, and his breathing began to thicken and aggravate.
"How can there be such a big gap?" Huang Chuan couldn't believe his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said.
One is 7.5 points, the other is 8.5 points, a difference of 1 point, this gap is not ordinarily large. If it is divided according to the five grades of perfect, excellent, good, pass, and fail, 6 points or less are fail, 6 points to 7 points are pass, 7 points to 8 points are good, then 8 points to 9 points are excellent, and more than 9 points to 10 points are perfect. This means that his "Happy Occasions" is good, while Stephen Zhao's "Truant Dragon" is excellent!
Defeated!
Following the box office failure on the first day, the audience's word-of-mouth was also a complete failure!
This means that the society, it goes without saying that Huang Chuan suddenly looked down at the comments of netizens with some fear.
But in the end, Huang Chuan gritted his teeth and slid the mouse to look down.
"It's super funny!"
"Comedy God!"
"Hahaha, I want to laugh when I think about it!"
"It's so cool, Xing Ye is another god movie!"
"I never get tired of watching it, I've watched it three times, and every time I watch it, I laugh so much that my stomach hurts, and when the disc comes out, I must buy a collection and put it at home every day!"
"The one on the top floor, I'm going to buy it too!"
"It's so classic, I can't say any adjectives to describe the good-looking Cheng dΓΉ of this film!"
"I love Death Star!"
"Classmate Zhou Xingxing, do you dare to come out, I promise I won't love you to death!"
"Star, you are my star, I want to have a baby with you!"
"Upstairs, it's not for Zhou Xingxing's students, it's for a lot of monkeys!"
"I'm the Huaxia People's Policeman, nicknamed Fatal Scissor Feet, this classmate, what's your name?"
"Campus comedy god film. Xing Ye creates another classic! β
"A classic hilarious undercover video!"
Entering Huang Chuan's sight, all the comments of praise, even if they were provocative, only said that "the plot is a bit old-fashioned", "the expression is too exaggerated", "there is no content", "a film with brainless laughter", etc., he has not seen anyone scolding this film as a bad movie.
Let's take a look at the long comment: "Zhou Xingxing has always played tricks, and he has also played a funny supporting role like the Green Winged Bat King." But this time, he finally got a chance to show his skills. It can be said that Zhou Xingxing's performance is very good, whether it is a police officer or a student, they are very similar, although they are in their twenties, they still perform very well when they play the absurdity and helplessness of double identity. β
"This is a film that pioneered a new style of comedy, and Zhou Xingxing in the film has a strong and unique personal style that no one else in the film industry has ever owned. Exaggerated demeanor, illogical funny lines, neurotic reactions. The ordinary and featureless appearance, each of which is an irreparable shortcoming on other actors, but on Zhou Xingxing's body, it is unexpectedly perfect and soft together, and blooms with a dazzling brilliance. This style should be currently being created by Xing Ye, and it is beginning to mature, because this style has been reflected in "East Becomes West" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Demon Sect Master". Zhou Xingxing. Seize the opportunity and look forward to the birth of another star! β
β¦β¦
Huang Chuan suddenly discovered. He's not here to find hope, he's here to be abused.
Huang Chuan sighed, turned off the computer, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside in a daze, he knew that he had really failed. It failed very completely.
Now, I can only hope that the box office of "In the Mood for Love" will look better and retain the last bit of face, otherwise he will really not be able to stay in the circle.
However, he didn't want to look for abuse. But he couldn't stop others from abusing him.
Just turning his head, he was abused by the entertainment program played on the super-large electronic screen outside.
"Hi, everyone, welcome to the show "Entertainment", I'm xxx. Yesterday was August 4th, a very ordinary day, but there was a very sensational thing in the Chinese film industry. What's the matter? Yes, it's Director Xing Ye and Director Huang Chuan, the comedy movies of the two are in the ring. Xing Ye filmed a comedy "Truant Weilong", which tells the story of a special police undercover school, all kinds of interesting things that happen in the school; Director Huang Chuan's comedy is called "In the Mood for Love", which tells an interesting story between three pairs of lovers in ancient times. I heard that both movies are super good-looking and super funny, but according to the latest news from this station, the box office of "Truant Dragon" is much more than "Happy Occasions", the first-day box office of "Truant Dragon" is 180 million, you heard it right, it is 180 million, almost breaking 200 million, but the first-day box office of "Happy Things" is only 95 million, only half of "Truant Dragon". Seeing this, I believe everyone can see who is the final winner......"
Huang Chuan was angry, staring coldly at the host of "Entertainment Upside Down", if the eyes could kill, the host would definitely be killed thousands of times.
It's a pity that eyes can't kill, so the host is still judging who wins the two movies in Balabala.
"This bitch!" Huang Chuan secretly cursed in his heart, and wanted to call the other party TV station to fire the host, but he quickly resisted this impulsive thought. Because he believed that if he dared to call, he would be exposed by the other party the next day and completely stink.
Zhao Xingchi is afraid that he will still help the other party and disgust him.
Huang Chuan regretted a little: "I knew that I wouldn't have borrowed Stephen Zhao to promote!" β
But at this time, it was too late to regret it, and Huang Chuan could only think of other ways.
Unexpectedly, before he could think of a way, the next day, another bad news came, the box office of "Happy Occasions" was only 40 million the next day!
Huang Chuan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What about the truant Weilong?" β
The person who reported hesitated on the phone and replied, "220 million!" β
Smack!
Huang Chuan was struck by lightning, and his mobile phone fell to the ground. (To be continued......)
