Chapter Seventy-One: Let's Respond!
In fact, the promotion of "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" did not follow the usual practice of inviting some film critics and media to observe it first, that is, no media session was held.
Just invited representatives of the theater chain to watch a few in-house screenings.
Anyway, Xiaobai didn't expect them to say good things.
Actually, according to Zhong Lifang's idea, invite it, give some small favors, don't ask them to praise, but ask to shut up!
Xiaobai refused - it may only be the market that determines the theatrical schedule, not film critics and film experts.
Otherwise, "Dream Showbiz", which is blown by them in the sky and not in the ground, has no box office for Mao?
Therefore, despite the clamor of these people, it seems that Bai Xiaofei has become the culprit of destroying Chinese films, and it is useless, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" has gained momentum, and the phenomenon remembers that once the film is formed, unless there are force majeure factors, it is unlikely that anything will block the box office.
Xiaobai knows this very well.
The theater line knows better than him, so, on June 25th, weekday Monday, the schedule of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" directly reached 68%!
Many third- and fourth-tier small cities are even more outrageous and give 80%!
……
Beijing, Bai Xiaofei Studio.
With big data comparison, the situation of the movie can be more intuitively displayed.
The number of ratings for "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance" reached 400,000, of which three percent were given one star...
Don't underestimate this data, which means that at least more than 10,000 people think this movie is rubbish!
Of course, the overall rating is still 8.1 points...
Looking through the movie reviews, most of them are 'garbage, don't explain', 'I don't want to watch it, Bai Xiaofei's movie is rotten', 'The shooting cycle is one month, can a good movie be released?' ’
Zhong Lifang looked at the report given by the assistant: "... It seems that there are many people sniping "Tang Bohu"! ”
Li Yundi smiled and shook his head: "It's in the way of people's money!" ”
“… What did Xiaobai say? ”
"He said don't worry about it, look at today's box office!"
Zhong Lifang sighed: "The heart is really big, you let the public relations department pay attention to it, or listen to the attitude of the official media!" ”
"Sister Zhong, the official media doesn't have time to take care of us, Fan and the pants are enough for them to be busy!"
"It's hard to say, what can't those people do?"
"Yes, too... Then I'll find Dong Ping to explore the tone? ”
"Go ahead!"
Outside the office, all the staff are full of energy, and "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" won 1.362 billion in the first weekend, which is simply against the sky!
However, everyone didn't have that feeling of getting carried away, and they didn't need to be reminded by the supervisor at all, and immediately entered the 'anti-black' mode...
That's right, every time Bai Xiaofei's movie is released, there will always be someone to pick on it!
It's become a habit!
"I've really convinced these experts and professors, you said that they are all fifty or sixty years old, and they have gained fame and fortune, why did they jump out and accuse a director with such a good audience?"
“… It may be that they feel that the Chinese film industry needs them, just like the earth cannot do without the sun! ”
"Nonsense, I think they just want to show off their presence!"
"However, there is a generation gap between the most mainstream moviegoers in the film market and them..."
"So, what they say is not convincing!"
"I'll go, you guys read this movie review!"
Several people gathered around his computer, and a well-known film critic with the ID name 'Bing' wrote a review of "Tang Bohu": Why do we scold Bai Xiaofei? Film criticism has a guiding role in the entire film industry, which can avoid the film being too commercialized, resulting in the lack of artistry and humanistic care. We have the responsibility and obligation to remind fans of Chinese films and Chinese movies, wake up, don't pay for this kind of movie that has no meaning except entertainment!
These words are righteous and awe-inspiring, and it seems that they are thinking about the entire film industry...
"I'll go!"
"What's wrong?"
"This ID is the film critic we found last time when "Rampage Hollywood" was released, and gave him 3,000 yuan, and he can write whatever he wants!"
“… Tsk, there's no discipline..."
……
"Do you want this? As if they had said yes, they called one by one. ”
The venue is Wuhan University, the "Tang Bohu" team roadshow, before it started, Xiaobai received a bunch of phone calls, all of which were congratulating him on his box office success and happy newlywed...
"Are you embarrassed? You don't tell us when you get married, what's the matter, you're afraid that we will rob you? ”
On the other end of the phone was Dong Jian...
"No, everyone is so busy, I thought I'd send you something later, even if the notification arrived..."
"You're really not going to get married? I want to be your best man! ”
“… The best man seems to be unmarried! ”
"Can't we make an exception for this relationship?"
"Don't say it, I'm going to enter the arena, you go and harass your sister-in-law!"
Hanging up the phone, Xiaobai sighed...
Dong Jian called him, except for congratulations, there must be other purposes, such as investing in his movies and the like...
If he really brought it up, Xiaobai would not be able to oppose it directly.
After all, the original "Waste Wood Brothers" was thanks to him.
"What do you think? It's time for us to play! ”
Zhang Shan reminded him.
"Let's go!"
……
"Some people on the Internet said that "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" plagiarized "Three Smiles of Marriage", what do you think of this problem?"
“… My story is based on "Three Smiles of Marriage", and the plot is roughly the same, but I added a lot of my own condiments, and my ending song "Asking God" is an episode of the Cantonese opera "Three Smiles of Marriage"! ”
"What are the considerations for Zhu Zhishan's character?"
“… Comedy movies must always have a bright and majestic existence that sets off the protagonist, and Zhu Zhishan's role is to contrast Tang Bohu! ”
"There are a lot of people on the Internet who say that they slander historical figures, what do you think of this?"
Looking at the question's eyes, Xiaobai asked rhetorically: "What do you think of this problem?" ”
"I think it's a bit disrespectful to historical figures, your movies are too wide, what if you teach children badly?"
Xiaobai smiled lightly: "... I don't know if you have watched the Yue drama "Wang Laohu Robbing Relatives"? In the 60s of the last century, Jin Yong and Hu Xiaofeng directed a movie "Wang Laohu Robbing Relatives", where Zhu Zhishan and my "Tang Bohu Point Autumn Fragrance" are actually not much different, some of our film experts always focus on foreign movies, why can't we look at our traditional repertoire? ”
""Jiupin Sesame Official" is based on "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage", one of the four major mystery cases in the late Qing Dynasty, "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" is adapted from "Three Laughing Marriages", and then I want to shoot "Judge of the Dead" is adapted from the Peking Opera "Four Jinshi", judging from the current box office situation, everyone likes it very much!"
"Why do you like it? In addition to the way the comedy is expressed, but more importantly, because you may not have seen these stories, but you have definitely heard of them somewhere! ”
"Because it's something that's in our bones, it's our culture!"
"Why do I know about this thing? Because of our family's Tsing Yi Club, there is an uncle who specializes in singing this! ”
"Also, it is even more nonsense to say that I poisoned underage audiences! The Chinese nation has been in the past 5,000 years, generation after generation has recorded and passed on the history, and the ancients who left a glorious figure have been praised and propagated for many years. ”
The applause was thunderous, including some of the teachers on stage.
"In fact, literary and artistic creation itself is free, Chaplin can spoof Hitler, of course we can, the distortion of history happens every minute and every second, but some people try to preserve the so-called correct history. There must not be the slightest hint of ridicule and banter. This is not right, movies are not documentaries after all! ”
Tu Xianfeng, dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Wuhan University, agrees with Xiaobai's view.
