Chapter 895 - A Very Ordinary Movie
[PS: Seeing that some readers have arranged the zero point field, it feels inappropriate. Everyone's right, it's really inappropriate for children's animation to be placed in the zero point field, but a blockbuster movie, it must be tested by the zero point field, which is a must be done, and it is not that the animation will only be played in the zero point field in the future. 】
"It's okay, maybe we can rely on word of mouth to turn the tables!" After nearly collapsing from a cerebral hemorrhage, Megill quickly comforted herself.
Although the box office of the zero point field is too ruthless, it is not without the possibility of remediation, as long as the audience's score and reputation can go up, then there is still hope for a resurgence.
So, after two hours of nervousness, the movie finally played, and the whole movie theater burst into applause. This applause is not very enthusiastic, but it is not too little, that is, the normal and ordinary level.
But this level made Megill even more anxious.
"Mr. Megill, we'll see you tomorrow in the hotel!" After watching the movie, Boss Jia stood up very calmly, said with a smile to Megill, and then separated from Megill and went back to sleep in his hotel.
By the way, if there is no miscalculation, Natasha should have been waiting for herself in bed at this time, the spring night is short, it's 2:20 in the morning now, you have to hurry up!
But Megill didn't have such a good interest, he returned to his home a little depressed, and waited until about nine o'clock in the morning of the second day, Boss Jia, who was still sleeping with Natasha, was woken up by his bodyguard, saying that Mr. Megill had been waiting for him for half an hour.
"It's over! It's all over! Mr. Jia, it seems that the two of us are all finished this time! After Megill saw Boss Jia, he said with a bitter expression.
"What's wrong? Something big is wrong! Boss Jia asked in surprise.
"The audience score for yesterday's zero o'clock field has come out, you can see for yourself!" Megill threw a piece of paper to Boss Jia.
"That's good, there's still 7.8 points!" Seeing this score, Boss Jia couldn't help but smile and said.
"Mr. Jia, sometimes I really admire you very much, you can actually laugh in such a situation!" Megill said helplessly.
"Of course I laughed, in our hometown, 60 points is a passing score, and I scored 78 points, which is already a passing grade!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"But the passing mark can't save the movie, let alone the huge cost we have invested!" Megill wailed, "Mr. Jia, our two companies have invested a total of $100 million!" However, the box office of the zero point field is only 550,000, and the average score of 7.8 is as flat as water, which proves that in the eyes of the audience, this is a very ordinary work, and there is no possibility of breaking out in the later stage, such a work, I am afraid that there is not even a box office of 10 million US dollars, and we will lose to grandma's house! ”
Seeing Megill like this, Boss Jia couldn't help but feel a little emotional, patted the other party's shoulder, and then asked, "By the way, the last element, how about the film critic's comments?" ”
"It's still too early, and the film critics who came out only commented on a few morning newspapers, but the sum of them is two words "average"! Megill sighed again, and then handed the two newspaper clippings to Boss Jia.
Boss Jia first saw the first newspaper clipping, there are quite a lot of words, there are thousands of them, Boss Jia read it for a long time, and refined the following comments.
"This is a movie co-produced by 21 World Fox and Daqian Entertainment, and it is said that 100 million dollars were invested in the production cost, I just want to say, it is too much money."
"I can't say that this movie is good, and I can't say it's bad, because I can't find a place where he is good and can make me praise, but I can't find a place that can make me scold him!"
"This movie is completely made according to Hollywood's standard commercial film routine, and the 3D animation production is a bit surprising, but it still feels too fake, although the Pokemon on the screen looks very cute and real."
"In the end, this is a very average movie, there is nothing memorable, sooner or later it will not be thrown into the mediocre garbage heap, it is not recommended for adults to watch it, but it is still very good with children, at least children will not cry when they watch it!"
This is the first film critic's comment, and Boss Jia read the second one, which is very brief, because this film critic put together several recent movies to comment, and "Pokemon" is the one with the least number of words in the review, a total of one sentence.
"It's so boring, I'm almost asleep watching it, and I don't understand why those Pokemon are fighting. Fortunately, the children around me have been very quiet, engrossed in watching movies, so that I can have a good dream in the early morning, thank you very much! ”
——————
"It's kind of interesting to write!" After reading these two critics' comments, Boss Jia couldn't help but laugh.
"What's the point? The whole article is saying that our movies are very mediocre, and specifically pointing out that they are not suitable for adults to watch, this is trying to kill us, these damn film critics must have been bought by others! Megill roared, and then threw the pot directly at the competitor.
This is also the way Megill can solve the bad situation, that is, throw all the pots on the heads of Daqian and his opponents, he is pure and flawless, and he has no responsibility.
In fact, there is no problem with this pot being thrown on Daqian, after all, when Boss Jia was making the movie, he was quite arbitrary, and he didn't give 21st Century Fox any chance to meddle in the plot at all, so this pot should indeed be carried by Boss Jia.
"Hey, it seems that this movie is really not good!" Boss Jia shook his head and said, then sighed and said, "Mr. Megill, I'm very sorry to disappoint you!" ”
"Well, I have nothing to be disappointed in, I'm afraid that the company has suffered unimaginable losses, and I will ......," Megill wailed.
"No, I'm not going to let Mr. Mergill suffer the loss alone!" Boss Jia suddenly said arrogantly, "Mr. Megill, I think so, I can buy back all the shares of 21st Century Fox in the hands of the film, and I will return all the money that Fox invested, so that 21st Century Fox will not have any losses, so that Mr. Maygill's difficulties can be alleviated!" ”
"Mr. Jia, you're not kidding!" Meigill looked at Jia Yapeng in disbelief, is there such a fool in the world?
"Of course I'm not kidding!" Boss Jia couldn't help but smile and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm very optimistic about the future of Pokemon, I think this is a film that can make money...... At least a movie that doesn't lose money. So I'm more than happy to buy the remaining 30% of the movie revenue investment from 21st Century Fox, and I can pay for it whenever 21st Century Fox wants to! ”
"But there is only one point, that is, this promise is only valid today, and after 24 o'clock today, I will not have this promise again!"
"I see!" Mergill ran out of the hotel quickly, probably to discuss with the head office.
"Jia, are you really convinced that a movie with such bad data can make money?" After Maygill left, Natasha, who was wearing pajamas and was extremely beautiful, walked out and asked curiously, "I have also participated in the premieres of many movies before, and I have been in contact with many Hollywood managers. ”
"Well, let me ask you a question, you are the one who has seen this movie, do you think this movie is good? Be honest! Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Beautiful!" Natasha nodded without saying whether or not "I really cried when I saw Dream and Mewtwo appear, and when I saw the two of them fighting for Pokemon!" ”
"That's right!" Boss Jia picked up a newspaper clipping on the table and said with a smile, "Actually, these two film critics are not bad, did you say, this is a movie suitable for watching with children!" ”
"These Hollywood filmmakers are so superstitious that they actually forgot that this is a movie for teenagers!" Boss Jia squeezed his shoulders and said.
