Chapter 437: A Double Kill at the Box Office!
On December 12th, the two films premiered at the same time, which itself had a strong sense of competition with each other, and Bai Shiqiu and Lu Jue sprayed each other in the air before, which added fuel to the fire.
Everyone is comparing the two movies "Nan Jing" and "Sue Yang".
The premiere of Lu Yu's masterpiece was the first to start, of course, the movie should be the first to come out, this is called the first strike, his movie comes out first, and the articles of the natural film critics will come out first, and even many sailors have prepared the manuscript early.
Let's start with a wave of word-of-mouth bombardment, bring up a rhythm, "Nanjing" is a good film, after this impression is formed, then there will naturally be a suppression of public opinion on "Sue Yang", so that it can take the lead at the box office on the first day, that is, the most direct zero-point field.
This is a very good combat plan, and it is also very feasible, you must know that the current two films, both of which have the name of China Film in front, are not small, Dolan in terms of film scheduling, "Sue Yang" is not as good as "Nan Jing", after all, this Bai Shiqiu's new work is too hasty.
So once this battle plan is successful, it will naturally affect the box office trend in the future.
Even if you Bai Shiqiu's "Sue the West" is good, and even the word-of-mouth in the later period comes out, many people wake up and find that this movie is very good, but at that time, no matter how good it is at the box office, it can't be turned over.
Moreover, the most interesting thing is that Bai Shiqiu himself arranged the premiere after "Nan Jing", which simply gave Lu Yu an excellent opportunity.
It stands to reason that the time sequence is not a big deal, but now, the two films are-for-tat, and the posture is too sufficient.
Will Lu Yu's battle plan succeed?
Anyway, the article of the first wave of sailor gunners has already gone out, and it is a blow to the movie "Nan Jing".
However, it was very surprising that it didn't take long for the reversal to occur.
The first wave of reversals came from domestic film critics who only watched the premiere of "Nan Jing".
"I don't know what the so-called blockbuster ......"
"Nan Jing who was held up by four women...... This is what Lu Jue wants to express. ”
"This movie should be called a woman in war, or a sentence that everyone can understand, there are eggs under the nest, or more simply, it is called comfort women."
"I really don't understand why director Lu Ju paid so much attention to showing the Japanese in the massacre, especially their suffering......"
Film critics themselves have to scold, and they have to dare to scold, of course, they will also charge some polishing fees, the rules of the industry. However, there are some films that don't dare to charge this money at all, because they don't know how to blow it.
This is the case in Lu Yu's movie.
And then, when Bai Shiqiu's "Sue the West" came out, a lot of articles appeared on the Internet.
Normally, film critics would have waited, but now, they're moving fast.
Now more and more movie fans know to go to see movie reviews before buying tickets, now the network is very developed, mobile phones can access the Internet, although most of the mobile phones are still in the AP state, the interface is ugly, but, it can make yourself spend less money, which is still very good.
Reading movie reviews before buying movie tickets also speeds up the production of film critics and increases the income of film critics.
Lu Fu and Jiang Xiaoyu, after watching "Suing the West", immediately found a café, hugged the laptop and began to code.
There's so much to say.
"In Lu Yu's new work, I see a filmmaker who wants to make innovative efforts, but his efforts make people have the urge to beat him...... "Lu Fu's writing is sharp, and his evaluation of "Sue the West" is like this.
"What do you mean by innovation? After reading Bai Shiqiu's latest masterpiece "Suing the West", I really understood the word innovation! I don't want to say much about this movie, but I really have to say it, just mention it, everyone must come to the theater to watch it, you must watch it, it is definitely worth the ticket price! ”
Where is this comment, it's simply Amway.
Jiang Xiaoyu still saved some face for Lu Yu, he talked a lot about "Nanjing", and the most talked about was the word scattered, and for Bai Shiqiu's "Sue Yang", he was like this.
"Who says you can't make a good movie in a month? Bai Shiqiu told us that sometimes a good movie doesn't necessarily have to take too long, maybe those times are all grinders. Bai Shiqiu took a month, and he came up with an amazing film. ”
These two people, well-known film critics in China, are really too ruthless.
And so the second wave of reversal came.
But this was not enough, and soon, Zhang Ziyi's news appeared on the entertainment pages of many portals.
"Senior sister and brother conflict reconciliation?"
"In the face of the topic of comfort women, the contradiction between the senior sister and brother is not there."
Zhang Ziyi was arrested in the toilet, and it was posted like this, of course, the news mainly wrote about the box office use of "Sue Yang", as well as her donation.
Comfort women, this element is exposed in this way.
Time is passing, and before the early morning show, the originally strong reputation of "Nan Jing" has quietly changed.
If someone uses big data to monitor these two movies at this time, it will be clear that the box office results of the two movies will be released in the early morning.
However, there are still relatively few people who do this now.
……
Lu Ju is a polite person, he wears glasses, and his appearance is definitely one of the best among domestic directors, of course, this can't be regarded as some halfway monks, such as Bai Shiqiu, he is still mainly acting, and the director's name is generally not hanging.
Lu Jue also has a beautiful girlfriend, Qin Lan, from Shencheng in the Northeast, with big eyes and a pretty good figure, especially fair-skinned.
This pair is regarded as a golden boy and girl in our domestic film industry, an absolute good match, but today, the two are a little contradictory.
After the premiere, there was a series of activities, such as a drinking party, and after the reception, the two of them spoke.
"I have to go to the other side of the company and keep an eye on the results of this early morning session, which is very crucial."
"You, then you're going, why are you pulling me?"
"Lan Lan, if you come along, at least it seems that we are very professional."
"Forget it, staring at the box office is considered professional? Shouldn't your Lu Jue's profession be in directing? ”
Lu Ju wanted to take his girlfriend to the company to wait for the box office results in the early morning, but Qin Lan didn't want to go, her reason was very simple, it was too late, she wanted to have a beauty sleep.
Female celebrities, pay attention to these, especially the two of them have been able to toss recently, and they don't sleep well.
Lu Yu was a little angry, but he was originally a gentle and elegant person, and it was always difficult to scold, so he could only be separated from Qin Lan, and he went to the company to guard alone.
Lu Ju is a director of literary films, but he also has to do such a thing as staring at the box office, but he has never stared at the early morning scene like he does now.
In the past, he used to watch the box office on the first day at most, and many times, the box office was not ideal, or as he said to the outside world, he didn't pay attention to the box office or anything.
This time it's different, this time it's very different.
"Nan Jing" is the biggest film Lu Jue has ever made, the investment is huge, it lasts for a long time, and it consumes a lot of energy, all of which are unprecedented, and Lu Jue has enough expectations for this movie.
Originally, after learning the news that the movie would be released in April next year, Lu Yu was very angry, and he even vented fiercely and ...... with Qin Lan didn't think about it, but later it turned out to be a twist and turn, and it could be released on December 13th.
This is the Chinese New Year, the best schedule.
should be grateful to that Bai Shiqiu, that guy's performance like a madman gave Lu Jue this opportunity, and now, Lu Jue is thinking about how to teach Bai Shiqiu, a madman, the most enjoyable thing after he wins.
Lunatic! He's a madman! Incomprehensible madman!
Lu Jue can also be scolded to this extent, after all, he is a gentle young director with a good reputation.
Media Asia has a company in the capital, but this time everyone came to the office building of Xingmei Company, and the results will be more direct here.
"Hey! Everybody's coming, haha......"
"Oops, Boss Jia."
"What did Boss Jia bring with him at this time?"
"Celebration wine! What do you think? Rafe in '82, not bad, right? ”
Boss Jia appeared, and he also brought with him the artifact that almost inevitably appeared in business banquets in this year, 82 Rafae.
In fact, many people are also guilty of totaling, why can't Lafaite finish 82 years after so many years?
But without such a wine, the grade of the banquet dropped instantly, and everyone knew that it was fake, but they had to pretend to be 'I am very good at wine tasting' and 'I am very knowledgeable'.
The pretending skills in the mall are often tacitly like this.
Therefore, this wine will have to be drunk for another ten years.
"Mr. Jia, I can't imagine that you are so concerned about our box office." Lu Jue was very surprised, but since Boss Jia is here, this is a good thing after all, and several other bosses are also present.
Jia Yaoting and Lu Jue can't compare with Lu Yu in terms of face, but when he laughs, he gives people a very sincere feeling, "Director Lu, I just can't see Bai Shiqiu bullying people like this this time!" I'm here today, just to watch everyone and defeat Bai Shiqiu! ”
What he said is really imposing, and his attitude is also distinct, Boss Jia absolutely supports Lu Yu and the movie "Nan Jing".
You must know that Boss Jia's family has high branches.
So, the atmosphere was very good, everyone was happy, and it seemed that victory was coming.
The early morning show, which is the first scene, is the first battle between "Nan Jing" and "Sue Yang" at the box office.
Zero o'clock, that is, after the end of the ticket purchase.
……
Click, click.
In the Red Star Base, many people are staring at the clock, getting closer and closer to the number 12.
"Where's Lao Bai?"
"The guy said it, and he went back to sleep."
"What? What's going on with him? ”
"Yes! Mr. Jin is old, so he can go home and sleep, but what is he doing? ”
"Could it be that he is not in good health?"
The old few Red Star, that is, the main creators of this movie, are all here, Zhou Shen, as well as Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Xun, Xiao Zhao and others......
Everyone was waiting for the results of the early morning session, but Lao Bai went back to sleep.
It's very angry, but it's okay, who let Lao Bai ...... For this movie, he really owes a lot of credit.
Bear with it first, and wait for the result.
The hour hand finally came to 12.
……
Xingmei.
Lu Jue didn't know why, when the time was getting closer and closer to zero, his heart was beating faster and faster.
Could it be that this is the excitement of commercial films compared to the box office?
Fortunately, he is suave after all, and on the outside, he is very calm.
Finally, the time has come and the results are coming out.
"How? Hahaha...... "Boss Jia was so happy, he didn't wait long, and directly opened this bottle of 82-year-old Lafay."
With a pop, there was a strong aroma of wine wafting, at least it smelled that this bottle was real.
But what about the result......
"The box office of our "Nan Jing" is 5.6 million! This box office is very ...... This, this ......"
The results came out, but the report left everyone dumbfounded.
Especially Lu Chuan, his face was extremely ugly.
"Nan Jing" won 5.6 million, which is still a good result, but there is a movie that got a box office of 6.2 million in the early morning, which is Bai Shiqiu's "Sue the West".
This bottle of wine, do you still drink it?
Boss Jia was a little embarrassed, the bottle he brought was indeed a real 82-year-old Rafite.
……
At the same time, the Red Star base was jubilant.
"We won! Hahaha......"
"Lao Bai, this guy missed such a moment of victory! Haha......"
"He deserves it!"
"That's right! Wait for tomorrow, let's play this guy up! ”
"Yes, that's how it should be."
Everyone was very happy, in the early morning, under the situation of lagging behind the film schedule, and under the condition that the word of mouth was suppressed, it was able to win at the box office, which is amazing.
However, do you want to play Bai Shiqiu?
Zhou Shen couldn't help but look at his mobile phone, half an hour ago, he got a text message from Bai Shiqiu, "Take everyone out to make it hard, and the celebration banquet is mine." ”
Among the few people who look at big data, there is him Lao Bai.
