Before, watching movies was hard.

Because there is no channel, only those who study movies are eligible to watch movies.

Or you're a director.

It is said that before Ah Mou filmed "Ju Dou", he needed to find a feeling, and Xiying came forward and got him a bunch of love action movies from Niben...

Ah Mou is also powerful, absorbing a lot of elements, "Ju Dou" is really violent.

S, M, voyeurism, oval, mother-lover, etc.

Today, Ah Mou will definitely not dare to shoot!

Since around 2000, China has experienced an unprecedented era of digital piracy, from VHS to VCD to DVD and now Blu-ray and HD downloads, the channel to watch movies is no longer a problem, all that remains is how much time and how much perseverance you have.

Watching movies is no longer a privilege.

Therefore, I don't understand where the superiority of many classes is, in the Internet era, why is there no problem with aesthetics?

Isn't Mr. Bi from a professional class?

He has a master's degree in the acting department of BJ Film Academy and a doctorate degree in film and television from BJ University!

Aesthetic is no problem?

How did people with no problem with aesthetics come up with "Dream Showbiz"?

"But don't look too much, watch a thousand swords and then recognize the weapon, and practice a thousand songs and then Xiaosheng. If you watch too much, you lose the fun of watching movies! ”

“… Lost fun? ”

"I just unconsciously compare it with classic movies, and then I feel bored..."

It's true, after reading more than 3,000 films, you will feel that 80% of the new movies are not worth the time to watch, just like the old movies that I still watch now are less than 20% of the old ones back then...

Boss Chen was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "What about you?" ”

"Me? I'm a creator... The angle is not the same. ”

While talking, the car stopped at the Twin Towers on Chang'an Street...

……

The film schedule of "Love Has an Afterlife" is not bad.

After all, with the blessing of Shen Xudong!

But... is only less than 30%, after all, "Yangtze River No. 7" has only been released for 15 days, "Slam Dunk" has been released for seven days, and "Cao Cao" has only been in theaters for 20 days, all of which are in theaters.

In addition, the Valentine's Day file itself is a big schedule, and today there are two new films "Wedding 2008" and "Becoming Jane Austen" released!

"Wedding 2008" is starring Jiang Wu and produced by Wen Jun.

Wen Jun really has a vision, the original time and space, after "Crazy Stone" became popular, he found three protagonists to do three plays respectively, "Wedding 2008", "Digging Strong Radish" and "People in Embarrassment"!

The three became one, and by the way, Xu Zheng found the confidence to direct the movie independently... So there is "People in Embarrassment in Thailand"...

Of course, this time, he didn't have the opportunity to do "People in Embarrassment", but he also got in touch with Xu Zheng, as if he was doing "Mars is fine".

Pulling it back, so many movies are being released, and "Love Has an Afterlife" is very stressful.

With the current market capacity, it can't fit so much at all, and it can't reach the level of making a lot of money together, so it can only eliminate the advantages of one and the other.

Who's going to go down, who's going to be up?

Yu Feihong and Qiao Zhenyu fully cooperated with the publicity team, online and offline, and strive for word of mouth.

In fact, the company is not very optimistic about the market tone of "Love Has an Afterlife".

It's still the same sentence, the subject matter is cliché and lacks selling points!

Yu Feihong's "Love Has an Afterlife" focuses on the afterlife, not love, and no desire!

So, it's very plain, if you want to engage in passion drama and hype, you can't piece together the clips.

But... The publicity and distribution resources that the company should invest must be invested - not its own money anyway.

"On the shooting site, we encountered heavy rains and mudslides that we had not seen in a century, and the studio that had been built so hard was washed away at once, and the crew had to stop work because of bad weather. At that time, hundreds of thousands of funds were wasted every day. ”

"During that time, thanks to Xudong coming over to support the scene... When he arrives at the crew, he doesn't have to say anything, everyone is at ease! ”

Well, the toss-and-over piece of soup talk...

By the way, and if the box office is not good, she replied that 'some movies pay attention to the long stream, even if the box office fails for a while, I believe that the future audience will still like it!'" ’

After tossing for a day, I flew to the magic capital at about ten o'clock in the evening, and at half past eleven, I arrived at the hotel.

Qiao Zhenyu had already gone back to the room to rest, Yu Feihong took a shower, and then went through the process with the staff, and then leaned back on the sofa bored...

It's not that I don't want to sleep, I have to wait for the box office on the first day!

Again, after the movie was released. Naturally, what you care about becomes a cold number at the box office...

There is no way to do it, because the production of the movie does need money, if you think about "Love Has an Afterlife", the production and post-production cost cost of 30 million.

3 patch ads were sold, and the return was 9 million...

The rest of the money can only be recovered by the box office!

If you don't care about the box office, do you care about the reputation of experts?

How much can expert word-of-mouth be exchanged?

What's more, Yu Feihong should know that the situation of "Love Has an Afterlife" should not be very good.

So it's even more nervous, how can you go to sleep?

There is a pair of people chatting with the staff

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and I hurriedly took it out to take a look. It was an email sent by Chen Xi, and there was a sentence she was most concerned about: the box office on the first day: 4.3 million, not bad, work hard, do a good job in publicity should be able to achieve more than 30 million, continue to work hard!

After reading this passage, Yu Feihong suddenly had the urge to cry.

I only feel that the hard work of this time has finally paid off - although this reward is still not a short distance from my goal.

Oh, Yu Feihong has thought that the box office of "Love Has an Afterlife" will break 100 million!

Judging from today's market performance, there is no hope at all, in fact, 30 million is not bad, after all, there is no big star with pure love theme.

Open the email with a computer, it is the summary box office data of major theaters, among which "Yangtze River No. 7" won 5.8 million, still the first place, and then "Love Has an Afterlife" 4.3 million, "Cao Cao" received 3.8 million, ranking third, "Slam Dunk" 3 million...

The rest of "Wedding 2008" and "Becoming Jane Austen" are negligible - less than 500,000.

It shows that these two films were not favored by the theater from the beginning!

"You guys will study it again, I'll go back to my room and rest first..."

"Well, good night Director Yu..."

After saying hello to the staff, Yu Feihong went upstairs, returned to the room, and lay on the bed, still very excited, obviously very tired, but very excited...

After thinking about it, I simply clicked on the computer and looked at the word of mouth...

Douban to see first:

"Director Yu is really ambitious, he dares to make such a movie, I am very satisfied, there are few works that can touch people's hearts these days!"

"Sure enough, only women know best what women want, handsome and infatuated lovers are still guarding you after life is exhausted, just ask who is not moved. The passage of the closed door portrait shows that women want to be appreciated more than love, and "Love Has an Afterlife" is much more awesome than "Lust and Caution"! ”

I suddenly remembered a sentence in Yishu's "Heavenly Love": We love each other, and the time is always wrong, which is very miserable. The film's desire to promote is suppressed just right, and the emotional outburst of the characters at the end pushes the movie to a new climax, I like it very much! ”

Of course, there are also bad reviews: ""Love Has an Afterlife": The most dedicated tea refiller in history, the tea is cold, don't renew it for me, can you change the tea?" ”

"I don't understand what moved Yu Feihong, the hero waited for the heroine under the ginkgo tree for 50 years, not for love, but to let the heroine change from a happy pregnant woman to a sad pregnant woman, and if he succeeds, he can be reincarnated!"

Look at her... So angry!

simply dialed the phone to Shen Xudong, and waited for a long time before he connected: "Hey, Teacher Yu..."

"What are you doing?"

“… I just took a shower and got ready to go to bed, oh, congratulations, "Love Has an Afterlife" box office 5 million on the first day! ”

"5 million?"

"They told me about 5 million..."

"5 million is also worth congratulating? It's the lowest opening record you've ever participated in, right? ”

"Oh, actually... Hiss..."

Yu Feihong felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, kicked the table... I'll call you later..."

Saying that, Shen Xudong actually hung up the phone.

Director Yu was confused...
