Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fifteen Percent and Forty Percent!

As the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the off-road pickup truck ran all the way back to the farm from the outside, accompanied by the roar of the motor.

The excited barking of the hounds and the faint smell of blood indicate that the trip has been fruitful.

"I love this kind of place!"

Xiaobai retracted his gaze and couldn't help but exclaim!

"Yes, you can buy a farm too!"

John replied disappreciatively, "The government should welcome you!" ”

"No, I have a company to raise!"

“… That's not the case, but you're still welcome to come every year! ”

John shrugged.

Darkness engulfs light, and the clear night sky is dotted with speckled stars, and beneath the stars, a blazing bonfire lights up half of the sky!

Open-air barbecue site.

The cooks and helpers of the farm used the game harvested in the afternoon to cook fragrant food, such as roast meat, potato stew venison, hare soup and other dishes...

"Cheers."

White clinks glasses with John and takes a big sip of beer.

"After graduating from college, I also broke into Hollywood, but unfortunately, it was not suitable at all!"

John talks about his past.

Xiaobai glanced at him, in fact, John is close to 1.9 meters tall, strong and powerful, a typical Australian strong man!

Looks... It's wild anyway!

"The Aussie Gang is very famous in Hollywood!"

Xiaobai followed his topic: "Russell Crowe, Kate Bratchett, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Heath Ledger, Chris Hemsworth, Jeffrey Rush, Hugo Weaving, Margot Robbie... Wow! Half of the country! ”

"Hehe, we usually make our debut on the theatrical stage and then move to Hollywood!"

John smiled, clearly proud of it!

"Yes, they are more stable than American actors, more down-to-earth than British actors, and naturally they have gradually become the first choice for male protagonists in major superhero films and commercial films."

"And British actors are generally melancholy, and at the moment when superhero movies are popular, they really don't have a congenital advantage."

Here, Xiaobai and John are talking about some topics in movies, while Yang Lan next to him is chatting with Elena non-stop.

"I'll teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow!"

"Really? Thank you! ”

"You smell so good, what kind of perfume is it?"

“… I didn't wear perfume, maybe it smelled of laundry detergent! ”

Yang Lan sniffed her collar and replied with some uncertainty.

"Really?"

Elena sniffed herself: "What brand of laundry detergent do you use?" ”

"Diao brand natural soap powder!"

“…”

Xiaobai was speechless, mother, the image spokesperson of the young lady is doing really well, and when she arrives in Australia, it is still popular...

After a week at John's farm, Xiaobai and Yang Lan left, they came to Australia for a holiday, of course, they could not stay in one place, and then the two went to Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and then went to Sydney to continue their journey.

Stayed in Sydney for two days and flew to Canada with a connecting flight!

……

On July 13th, "Evil Does Not Prevail" was released, and the theater chain was very optimistic about this movie, and directly gave 40% of the film schedule!

In the end, it is still not as good as "One Step Away" back then, "One Step Away" was released, all the films retreated, and it naturally won 55% of the film schedule!

In fact, even the most professional film director can only say that he can estimate seven or eight percent accurately, and if he wants to make a shot, he will definitely hit - unless you are a time-traveler!

In the final analysis, although the film is labeled as a business, in the final analysis, it is by no means something that you can do well if you follow the prescribed process, because it has another attribute that cannot be ignored - the film is still a work of art.

The general choice of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of viewers is actually full of rationality and law, and very objective, but the creation of artworks is always subjective.

Subjective, to objective, there is never a 100% accuracy rate!

Therefore, it is difficult to say the box office of "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", and even Jiang Wen himself may be difficult to give an estimate!

The biggest opponent in the same period is probably "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", which was released for 22 days - yesterday it also won a single-day box office of 50 million...

Of course, its box office potential may have been exhausted, and the movie-watching boom has passed.

The theater chain has also continued to lower the schedule of "Tang Bohu", and on July 13, only 15% of the film schedule of "Tang Bohu" was scheduled...

And then here comes the problem!

The box office of "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", which was released on the first day, exceeded 100 million yuan in a single day, accounting for 50% of the market;

Twenty-two days after its release, the single-day box office of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" actually rose back to 60 million, and the attendance rate was much higher than that of "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice"...

What the hell is that?

……

Jiang Wen's new work "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", will it create a box office miracle?

No!

When I watched "One Step Away", many people's first feeling was that Jiang Wen knew how to make the audience like it, but he just didn't shoot it that way.

It seems that this "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice" is also the same.

An ordinary audience sits in the cinema and wants to watch a happy revenge story, but Jiang Wen just doesn't make you happy, he just wants to take all kinds of inexplicable dialogue edits, plus a lot of connotations, in short, it's not pleasant to watch.

But what about the audience who goes to the connotation, they may not be satisfied, because what "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" wants to talk about, Jiang Wen's previous movies are almost finished.

Simply evaluate "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice"

Lao Tzu knows what you like to watch, and Lao Tzu doesn't mind giving it to you, sex, violence, martial arts scenes, fresh flesh, and mature women's style, all of which are enough;

Lao Tzu is not going to be said by you to be incomprehensible, the beginning, the end, and the main direction of the plot are very clear, even if you are a primary school student, you can extract the gist of the article and the gist of the paragraph.

On this basis, Lao Tzu can shoot as much as he wants, as for you who feel that it hurts to look at your brain, and say that you don't know what you're talking about, then hold it!

Hehe, Jiang Wen is still that Jiang Wen!

But the problem is that the audience is no longer the audience!

Back then, there was a group of people in "One Step Away" who boasted connotations, "You don't understand Jiang Wen", "No wonder you can't understand it, Jiang Wen is indeed too advanced", "One Step Away": You have to taste old wine in new bottles! ’

It seems that those who think "One Step Away" is a bad movie are all rubbish and are not qualified to watch movies!

It's the same this time, a bunch of film critics blow it all sorts of things.

This is Jiang Wen's Beiping and revenge, and it is also his romance and sincerity! ’

The score of "Evil Does Not Prevail" dropped from 8.2 to 7.2, do you really understand? ’

'Fragrant snow into the sea, Daiwa like clouds, people's hearts like mirrors! ’

'Evil Doesn't Prevail Over Good: The Great Birth of a New World! ’

Yes, ordinary people make films, good reputation is awesome, bad reputation is not good, but Director Jiang is different, good reputation is to cater to the market, bad reputation is because of personality, because he shoots himself, is a depth that you ordinary people don't understand!

Are the audience really that tasteless?

Is it really because you don't understand it?

In fact, Jiang Wen's movies are neither commercial nor artistic, he is in a class of his own, he likes it very much, and he hates it very much!

It's like durian and coriander, some people just like to eat it, and some people don't think it works when they smell it!

How to say it, Jiang Wen's movie is probably a product that deviates from the standards of the film industry, and it is impossible to use industrial standards to measure his success or failure later!

But, judging from the box office alone, the failure is a certainty!

Because on the second day of its release, although "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" occupied the first place at the box office, the second-ranked "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" received 80 million in a single day, and the gap with the first place was only 18 million...

There is a 25% difference in the number of films scheduled between the two!
