Chapter 21: Reversal, Reversal

Someone's sentence is really worth millions of publicity costs.

If there is a hot search list now, the ripe melon of the Guo family must be the headline, followed by a capital "explosion".

And "Peking Holiday" is definitely a keyword on the hot search list.

Everyone naturally loves gossip.

The eldest princess of a wealthy family rebelled against family marriage, which is a big melon that the whole people pay attention to; And when the eldest princess of a wealthy family really chose to marry a poor family, it has become a topic of discussion and controversy among the whole people.

If "love or bread" used to be a classic puzzle, today, the balance of the answer to this question has slowly tilted to the bread end.

In other words, simply "marrying love" is becoming less and less common in reality.

Guo Zhaobing's "love not bread", uh, it should be the choice of "love not the country", will it leave a beautiful legend in the world, or will it leave a piece of blood and tears to warn future generations?

"I want her to be happy, and I love love stories like this."

"There is a truth that the door is right, and the gap is too big to go far."

"You only love material ......"

"You don't understand ...... life"

"However, what kind of movie is "Peking Holiday" that can make Chairman Guo use it as a counterexample to the eldest princess?"

"It seems to be the opposite choice of the eldest princess?"

"Let's see."

"Let's go, let's go see ......"

Discussions like these take place in every corner of the country.

Many people who knew about "Peking Holiday" after the previous round of publicity and went to watch it at the same time also consciously gave Amway to their relatives and friends.

For example, Yin Youyou, who watched the movie on the day of the premiere, actively recommended it to his colleagues: "It's very good, I tell you, I will never regret it after watching it." ”

"Really, I always thought it was a bad movie that only followed the hype."

"Believe me, it's definitely not a bad movie, I love the princess in it so much." Yin Youyou affirmed.

"Okay, then I'll go buy a ticket after work, hey, can someone go and see it together?"

"I'll go too."

"Let's go."

Yin Youyou also raised his hand, "I'll go with you too." ”

"Haven't you seen it?"

"I want to watch it again, and I like the princess dress in the movie, I didn't see the brand of the dress last time, I must keep my eyes open this time."

"I'm even more itchy to say it......"

It was Monday, a weekday.

If someone looks down from above, they can see that as soon as the end of the day arrives, groups of office workers pour out of office buildings in major cities, calling friends into the cinema.

There are couples: "Give me two tickets for "Peking Holiday", and I want a middle position." ”

A colleague group: "We want a total of five tickets, a little in the back." ”

There is a girlfriend holding hands: "I also want two tickets, in the middle of the back row." ”

"I'm sorry, the middle ticket is gone, do you want the seats on both sides?" The conductor replied.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The seat is a bit off, forget it, let's have two. ”

"Buy three tickets."

"I'm sorry, there are no tickets for the 7:12 show of "Peking Holiday".

"Sell so fast? What time is the next session? ”

"At 9:35, there are only two tickets left."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Depend on! ”

Starting from the afternoon session, the attendance rate of "Peking Holiday" exploded!

Many theaters across the country have sold out.

This is directly reflected in the box office of the report!

Generally speaking, after a film has experienced a large-scale release in the first weekend, the single-day box office of the following weekday will dive rapidly.

This is the case with "The Rush of Speed", which fell to 10.19 million in a single day on Monday, a drop of more than 50% compared to last Sunday.

And what about "Peking Holiday"?

When the theater didn't have time to adjust the film schedule, it received 15.36 million in a single report, which only shrank by 12%.

This decline is not eye-catching, it can be called blinding.

As of Tuesday, no, the theater chain that responded quickly on Monday had already decided to greatly increase the schedule of "Peking Holiday", and the phone calls to Dunhuang to ask for a copy were almost crowded.

In this year, the cinema line still took film copies, weighing more than ten kilograms, and the production cost was high, and the film company was based on the expected production of the film schedule.

At this time, the theater chain is most worried that the number of copies of Dunhuang's movies is not enough, and it is impossible to add more films to it.

But Lao Wang gave them a reassuring pill, as many copies as they wanted, as long as they were willing to increase the number of films, to ensure that everyone could eat this hot mouthful.

So, on the second working day of this week, "Peking Holiday" got 3,500 screens for a historic time, and for the first time, it pressed "Speed Moment" on the film schedule.

The box office also lived up to expectations, winning 17 million in a single day, achieving a reverse increase in the box office on weekdays.

And "Extreme Moment" continued to dive, with a single-day box office of only 9.24 million.

Now all the theaters can see it, and the potential of the film "Peking Holiday" is definitely still there.

At this point, there is no need for Dunhuang to say anything more, add the film to it, and add it.

But in this way, of course, the distributors of other excluded movies are not happy.

The biggest opinion is Tang Yu Media.

They held a contract and demanded that the theater chain must fill the specified number of weeks in order to cut the schedule of "Rush Hour".

For Luo Jianzhou, who is behind Tang Yu, even if the attendance rate is only two or three percent, it is better than giving up the screening hall to competitors to screen their strong films.

But the theater chain hopes that the film can make a lot of money, how can it be bound by a paper contract?

There are too many things that can be done, such as moving the largest screening hall as much as possible to "Peking Holiday", or moving part of the film schedule of "Extreme Moment" to the morning......

This was so angry that Luo Jianzhou scolded his mother, you must know that this is a working day, and the movies will be scheduled for ghosts in the morning, even if all the screens in the country are given to him, how many tickets can be sold?

He also wanted to argue on the basis of reason, but another reversal appeared, giving the theater side more reason to adjust the film schedule.

β€”β€”Following the reversal of the advantage of film scheduling and the single-day box office, the reputation has also reversed!

Even if Tang Yu Media's public relations tried its best, the negative reputation of "Speed Moment" could not be suppressed, and criticism of "vague story levels" and "emphasis on special effects over logic" was also frequently reported.

A well-known film critic said it well -

"Frankly speaking, there is no shortage of highlights in "Speed Hour", Director Luo's ability to shoot action scenes never needs to be doubted, and the explosion scenes and car chase scenes are smooth and imaginative, all of which bring strong visual stimulation to the audience."

"However, the explosion and the car chase can't hide the paleness of the plot itself, and the pace of the film is so rapid that it doesn't even make a story well."

"Compared with Director Luo's first two masterpieces, it is obviously substandard. This is a pity, because Director Luo could have used this movie to hit the personal record of 1 billion box office, thus becoming the most box office leader of the new generation of directors. ”

"Judging from the current box office trend, Director Luo's upward momentum may suffer a big blow."

"Interestingly, the top two films at the box office this week can be said to be lackluster in terms of plot."

"But director Wang Wei did a good job, "Peking Holiday" combines all the elements of tragedy and comedy, but it takes the emotional balance just right, the meeting of the male and female protagonists is happy but not vulgar, and the parting is sad but not sad, so that a love gradually climaxes, and then let it stay at the most beautiful point."

"This makes me have a bold guess that the box office explosion of "Peking Holiday" is imminent, and will Wang Wei replace Luo Jianzhou and become the most capable director of the new generation at the box office?"

……

"It's so miserable, it seems that just a day apart, all of Luo Jianzhou's leads have been reversed by us." On the charter plane of the roadshow, Wang Chuanqi said with a "sympathetic" face.

Yes, Lao Wang, who saw that he was going to make a fortune, finally made a big deal and directly chartered a business jet as a means of transportation for the crew of "Peking Holiday" to run roadshows across the country.

"Tsk, although your gloating face is ugly, I have to say that he brought it on himself." Wang Wei, who had already taken the time to watch "Speed Hour", had reason to say so.

In his opinion, Luo Jianzhou is a bit similar to the director Michael Bay in his memory, and he has an innate talent for filming action scenes.

His first two films, with a strong visual style and a compact and complete plot, are no wonder they are regarded as the best of the new generation of directors.

But this "Speed Hour" is obviously a big failure.

This is not Jiang Lang's talent, it is purely what the above-mentioned film critic said, "too tight".

Just think about it, from the start of filming in May to the release at the end of October, such a short time is enough for a small-budget romance movie, let alone a big-budget action movie.

That's not time short, that's not even time to breathe.

All the energy is focused on the production of special effects, isn't the plot and rhythm out of balance?

In order to fight in the ring, Luo Jianzhou insisted on pressing the film to be released, and he could only pretend that it did not exist where it could be remedied.

But the audience doesn't pretend that the problem doesn't exist. It can only be said that you always have to pay it back when you come out to mix.

However, with Tang Yu's operational capabilities, it should not be difficult to recover costs. On the contrary, as the newspapers say, the serious setback of the upward momentum may have made him more painful. Lao Wang pondered.

Saying this, everyone turned their eyes to Shen Zhenyi, the initiator.

"Girl, if you want to say that a cow is still a cow, a new generation of leading directors has planted a big heel because of you."

Shen Zhenyi was not polite: "This is very good, it is estimated that he will not appear in front of me for a long time." ”

"Poof...... It's miserable! ”

"If he hears it, I guess everything will be lost."

"It's impossible to be discouraged, maybe I'll cheer up right away, because ......" Shen Zhenyi's eyes wandered and looked at Wang Wei, "Brother, what do you think of being touted as a new generation of directors to replace him?" ”

"What do you think? I don't dare to think about it. Wang Wei wanted to roll his eyes.

"Hey, aren't you impressed at all?"

"Heart-warming yarn." Wang Wei said infinitely melancholy: "I don't even think about how "Peking Holiday" has become this trend......

I doubt there is a European emperor among us, believe it or not.

From the beginning of the project of "Peking Holiday", Wang Wei considered "what to do if there is a thunderstorm".

After all, the unfortunate urging of Dunhuang in the past three years is quite unscientific, and who knows if it will continue into the fourth year?

However, from the non-chieftain to the European emperor, there is no slightest defense!

Not to mention that Luo Jianzhou, who was the opponent, was stunned, and even Wang Wei doubted life.

Could it be that the gods and Buddhas worshiped in the opening ceremony are really so spiritual?

It's impossible, I'm not wearing a fantasy world.

So the question is, whose luck is so terrifying? Missing a thigh pendant?

Anyway, it can't be himself, an ordinary ordinary person who has been drawn since he was a child, never absent, and has never won the lottery.
