Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Collapse of Reputation

On the first day of the premiere of "Wu Ji", there was hardly any negative news.

The next day, Zhang Yimou's "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" was released.

The two top directors in China began to compete head-to-head, and the audience was excited.

The crew of "Time and Space Cruise", between filming, the actors are discussing "Wuji" they watched yesterday.

"I don't know if the average audience understands it, I don't think it's interesting anyway."

Chen Minghao said unabashedly.

Lin Nan took a stack of newspapers handed by the staff, and there was still the smell of ink on it.

"If the audience can't read it, isn't there a letter?"

Lin Nan shook the daily newspaper in his hand.

"I'll see."

Several of the leading actors came around.

A few newspapers were divided by everyone in an instant.

"Tut, look how well this is said: every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, 'Shabi dialogue', one word: stupid! Four words: Trick the mystery! There is no climax, there is no moving, if there is moving, it is only touching the creator ......himself, haha, I laughed to death, does this metropolis newspaper dare to write so much? ”

Tian Yu patted his thigh and laughed uncontrollably.

"The film critic wrote it tactfully: grandiose, eye-catching, you can see how hundreds of millions of dollars are burned, although Director Chen is doing his best to pursue perfection, but it is undeniable that the plot of "Wuji" is out of control, there is no priority in the plot, and the performance is too exaggerated......"

When Yan Danchen read this paragraph, Lin Nan was stunned, and even the film critics couldn't help but complain? It stands to reason that these people should be closer to Lao Chen!

"What do ordinary viewers say, is there any report?" Yan Danchen Zeng Li asked.

"Yes, they all say it's boring and empty. But some funny and funny lines were written down, like what: You ruined my chance to be a good person......"

Zhu Yawen laughed while reading, most of the other staff members also went to watch the movie, they were originally engaged in this industry, and their judgment ability at least was definitely stronger than that of ordinary people, and they all recognized these reports at this time.

……

Zhongying, Han Sanping looked at the stack of newspapers on the table, as well as the new negative voices on the Internet, and his mood was a little irritable.

Chen Hong came to the group just now, hoping that China Film could come forward and intervene in the voice of the media.

But how to intervene in this, the reports of traditional print media and Internet media have never been so unified, and they are all declining and satirizing "Wuji".

The paper media is easy to do, how to manage it on the Internet, all kinds of post bars and blogs can't be dealt with at all, and deleting posts can't catch up with the speed and number of other people's posts.

Han Sanping's face was blue, and he could guess how much public opinion had an impact on the box office trend.

At the beginning, he overrode public opinion, and China Film fully invested in "Wuji", how much he swore at that time, how much criticism he might face.

"How is the daily box office?" Han Sanping asked.

"Nearly 20 million, which is higher than the first day." The secretary said.

Han Sanping nodded, "It's okay, you can go out." ”

The patch advertisements of "Wu Ji" sold a lot of money, and the chief sponsor Konka paid an additional 30 million yuan to help the film bundle and promote.

Even if there is the income from patch advertising, Han Sanping will not have any hope of recovering the cost, what about the investment of 350 million, unless Lao Chen's wave can really reach the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and make up for the box office in honor.

"Senior Brother Chen, let's keep one of the shots just now, and do it again."

"No problem."

Lin Nan continued the end of the movie and refused the request of several visiting media to interview him about his views on "Wuji", isn't this digging a hole for himself.

Industry insiders have a tacit collective silence this time, and the media can't pry open the mouths of these people at all, only the majority of netizens and viewers are happy to imitate and ridicule the lines inside.

Lin Nan stared at Zeng Li in the camera, killed the male one cleanly, dragged him to the deck, turned around and continued to look for the next target......

"Click. Sister Li, the rest meeting, it's quite laborious to drag Senior Brother Chen, hehe. ”

"Haha, I guess it's quite laborious." Tian Yu said with a smile.

Chen Minghao packed up, "Doesn't this show that the heroine is athletic, otherwise why would a woman kill everyone else." ”

"Makes sense."

Even Zeng Li smiled and agreed with Chen Minghao's words.

"Break, we don't lack time now." Lin Nan said kindly.

"Wu Ji" is still breaking box office records, and the single-day box office record has also been broken, I just don't know how many it can rush in the first weekend, but it is definitely no problem to break the record.

On the other hand, Zhang Yimou's "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" viewing feedback is also about to come out.

……

Chen Kaige's face was frosty, looking at the text message in front of him.

is also a director from Nortel, and the college has little support for "Wuji" this time, or symbolic support, but it is not stingy in praising "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles".

Many old professors at Nortel have spoken, "This is Zhang Yimou's return work, not that there is anything wrong with him making commercial films, but that this movie has completely reached the heights he has reached in his previous literary films." ”

His hand holding the newspaper shook slightly, and the back of his hand was bulging.

"Yellow Earth", "The Child King", "Singing While Walking", "Farewell My Concubine" ......, along the way, in addition to honor is honor, he is immersed in family history and honor.

Chen Kaige abruptly dropped the newspaper, "I spent three years working on the work painstakingly, where do ordinary people understand ......"

On the set, everyone looked at the data of "Wu Ji" with incredible faces.

"I know this is a blockbuster, but it's too fierce at the box office, it won 75 million box office in the first weekend and four days, and this is still the mainland! Isn't word of mouth like that? ”

"Director Lin, your first movie is not as much as the box office of other people's two days, do I remember?"

Tian Yu quipped, he got acquainted with each other during this time, and he was a little more wanton in his jokes.

"Haha, Director Lin, cut his role ......"

Chen Minghao smiled and came up with an idea, and a group of people watched the excitement on the side.

"Oops, it's me who can't speak, I should be beaten."

Lin Nan shook his head with a smile, he didn't care, others had accumulated a reputation for twenty years, and the bad reviews for two or three days, although they were large-scale, did not affect the overall box office trend, and it was estimated that it would have to ferment for another two or three days.

"If you don't watch it, just listen to others comment that Director Kaige's new play is terrible, do you believe it or not?"

Lin Nan asked.

Chen Minghao, Tian Yu and others reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "I definitely have to go to the cinema to see it, judge for yourself, where is the credibility of international directors." ”

"That's why the box office is still growing rapidly."

……

On the other side of the ocean, the crew of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" was completely produced using digital 3D technology, and in the huge green screen studio, the staff was busy, and Liu Yifei finished filming the last paragraph according to the director's requirements.

Tom is a qualified agent, and when Liu Yifei entered the crew, he came to see it from time to time.

Working for Lin Nan can be much easier than other businesses, and the pay is expensive.

He thought about it, if Lin Nan decided to open a company or studio here, he would immediately go to work for Lin Nan.

The girl with the oriental face in front of her, Lin Nan specially instructed Tom to take care of him, as shrewd as he was, and was already guessing the relationship between the two, it seems that they are not relatives, but lovers?

"Crystal, congratulations, would you like to tell my boss the good news?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, "Tom, don't tell him." ”

Liu Yifei smiled and looked at the fat man in front of her, "Tom, I'm going back to the hotel, and we'll see you again when we have a chance in the future." ”

"Okay, Crystal, I have a hunch that you're going to be my boss."

"Tom, you talk so much."

Ignoring the little girl's shyness, Tom continued: "As a friend, Crystal, I would like to remind you that I have been in Hollywood for many years, and there are too many bewitching sluts in the circle, who will stare at those fat meats, and I want to come to you too, and Lin Nan is too young, he is the kind of fat that is very fat, you know what I mean, right?" ”

Tom had a good impression of the girl in front of him, so he couldn't help but talk a lot.

Liu Yifei nodded seriously, "Thank you, Tom." ”

"No thanks, just ask him to give me a salary increase." Tom laughed.

"Then you'll have to go and talk to him yourself." Liu Yifei smiled.

With something on her mind, Liu Yifei returned to the backstage, and Liu's mother and assistant were waiting for her.

After removing makeup and changing clothes, the three returned to the hotel.

I've been here for more than a month, and I was supposed to adapt to the crew first, but in the end, I magically started the film in advance, Liu Yifei is the crew and the hotel every day, and I will pay attention to domestic news when I rest.

"Mom, where are the passports?"

Liu Yifei, who has been freshened, looks young and beautiful, like a delicate princess.

"Why do you ask about this, it's in the innermost box, by the way, the movie is almost over, right?"

Liu's mother asked again, she never asked about the progress of her daughter's crew, and she heard that the movie was almost over from the sporadic conversations of the staff.

A hint of cunning flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes, "There are still a few days." ”

"Oh, that's pretty fast, and we'll be able to go back then."

……

The box office growth of "Wu Ji" has slowed down rapidly amid the scolding, from nearly 20 million in a single day to more than 10 million, and the media's voices about the decline have gradually increased, no longer limited to audiences and netizens.

Han Sanping has really been on fire these days, and no one has come to share the pressure, he shouted to support "Wuji" at the beginning, and even overbearingly let China Film produce it exclusively, so that now the doomed result can only be borne by China Film's family.

At the group meeting, someone has already raised this question, but fortunately, making movies is a gamble, and he has also made a lot of profitable projects, and it is not difficult to get through the current level, but the huge hole has to be made up.

There is a lot of investment presided over by Han Sanping, and you have to count on these projects at this time.

"Go and ask about the progress, the film investments I handled." Han Sanping commanded.

"Yes, Mr. Han."

……

Liu Xiaoli looked at the note on her daughter's desk, her face gloomy.

"Dead girl, her wings are stiff, she doesn't even say hello, she just leaves a note......"

Suddenly remembering something, Liu's mother hurriedly opened the suitcase where the passport was stored, and sure enough, Liu Yifei took her passport.

Calming down a little, Mother Liu sat on the edge of the bed and smiled a little helplessly.

"I've really grown up and have my own ideas, and this character is really similar to when I was young. You're going to go and tell me, I'm going to disagree? Also a ......"

As she spoke, Mother Liu smiled unconsciously, knowing her mother Mo Ruonu!

Liu Xiaoli rummaged through her mobile phone number while arranging for her assistant to prepare to buy a plane ticket.

For the alliance leader: Haha, I'll add more!

Ask for a follow-up! Ask for a commuter pass!

Today's update is 16,000, and there is no broken promise! Shamelessly ask for a reward! Thank you, bow.
