Chapter 408: You don't have to blame me if you don't fight yourself
hung up the phone, Liu Yifei was in a very beautiful mood.
She looked up and looked around, Gu Wei hadn't come back yet, and the crew was fiddling with their mobile phones.
Everyone was smiling, and Naza, who was sitting next to her, was even more smiling.
"Who are you talking to, so happy?"
Liu Yifei asked curiously.
"Huh? Sister Yifei~"
Nazha looked away from her phone and turned her head to look at Liu Yifei beside her.
"Be a good girlfriend with me, hee-hee, and show off your movie results with her!"
"Are you also an actor in our circle?"
"Yes, it's in the same place as me, Frontier people~"
"Oh? Or your fellow countryman, what's your name? ”
"Di Lieba, I acted in a TV series called [Carat Lover] before, and it was still a little hot~"
Liu Yifei thought about it.
"I haven't watched the TV series you mentioned, but I have some impression of the name."
She is usually busy with work, and rarely watches TV series except reading books in her free time.
"I have time to introduce her to Sister Yifei when I go back, you know, she is a very good person, and she is also a big beauty."
It didn't take long for Gu Wei to communicate with the staff outside, and when he walked into the room, he clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone, that's all for today's activities, go back to the hotel in a while, rest early, and leave for the next city early tomorrow morning."
After speaking, Liu Yifei and the others packed up their things and got up to leave.
is also a new movie released, some people are happy and some people are sad.
[Tang Detective 2] broke 1.1 billion at the box office in the first week, and [Legend of the Gods], which was released on Friday at the same time, was not so lucky.
It was screened one day later than [Tang Detective 2], and the box office result on the first day was only 77.92 million.
Although this single-day box office result was second only to [Tang Detective 2] on Friday, ranking second in the national single-day box office, it was higher than the 40.17 million of the third place [Jedi Escape].
But you must know that this is the first-day box office of the 500 million investment blockbuster [Legend of the Gods], if this result is not unexpected, it basically means that the movie is at a loss.
Sure enough, in the next two days on Saturday and Sunday, because of the poor reputation after the release, the box office of [Legend of the Gods] actually fell all the way in the first weekend, and received 64.54 million and 55.51 million box office respectively in the two days.
You must know that movies that are released normally, except for those that happen to be released on holidays such as the Spring Festival and National Day, usually the highest box office is on the first weekend.
Just like the box office of [Tang Detective 2] in the first two days of the first week, it was more than 200 million, and it immediately rushed to more than 300 million on the weekend.
And after the release, there are really not many films that are even declining at the box office in the first weekend, and it can only be said that the reputation of the movie has been rotten to a certain extent.
[Legend of the Gods] was released for three days, and it got a total of 201 million box office in the first Monday, and the reputation completely collapsed.
Nearly 30,000 people on Douban scored 2.8 points, and there was a lot of scolding on the Internet.
In this movie called "Legend of the Gods", the gathering of domestic first-line stars, like a group of demons dancing in this masterpiece of film history, has left its own "brilliant" acting skills, crowning the plot, costumes, and special effects of ancient and modern times, so that "Fuchun Mountain Residence" can only be eclipsed, this is a true masterpiece! 】
[Li Lianjie took him to the set on the way to the toilet to play soy sauce, and he was embarrassed to put his name in the first place to cheat the box office! ] 】
[This "Legend to the Left" tells the story of shooting the sword of light into the fountain of life]
[Within three years, there will be no worse film than him, and if there is, it must be its sequel! ] 】
[Lei Zhenzi said to the baby: "I'll fly with B. Baby replied affectionately, "You're so nice, Ray." "Hahaha, in short, it's very funny, the imagination is extraordinary, I can't imagine what will become in the next second, hahahahaha!! 】
[I have to guess that this is Xiang Huaqiang put a knife on the necks of celebrities and threatened to shoot, except for his son, the enigmatic aesthetics, the whole process of the plot, the world-shattering and self-styled, admire and admire, and the Fuchun Mountain Jutu is also admired! ] 】
【. 】
With a box office of 200 million in the first week, a score of 2.8, and a reputation of scolding on the whole network, anyone can know this time that [Legend of the Gods] is completely pounced.
The 500 million production that has been promoted for several months, starring international superstar Li Lian, and a number of top stars in domestic entertainment joined, now it seems like a joke.
Just like netizens commented, Li Lianjie is obviously a soy sauce player, but he put him in the starring position, and the last one on the cast list is actually the real starring role.
How can this kind of blatant deception make the audience who enters the cinema not angry.
And it is obviously adapted from the story of [Fengshen Interpretation], and finally became the orphan of the Wing Clan "Lei Zhenzi" played by Xiang Zuo, who embarked on the road of finding the Sword of Light in order to save the Spirit Clan.
What kind of thunderous plot is this, and what does it have to do with [Fengshen]?
It's no wonder that the audience who watched the movie was so excited, it can only be said that [Legend of the Gods] had bad intentions at the beginning.
The producer and distributor clearly know that the movie is not good, but for their own interests, it is natural to use this method of deceiving one by one to promote, and in the end there will be such a big backlash.
Bona Film and Television.
The atmosphere in the office is depressing.
Xiang Huaqiang finished a cigarette, took the last puff, and pressed out the cigarette butt.
"Yu Dong, can't we think of a way to make our movies?
Now this achievement, there are too many losses."
Yu Dong, who was sitting opposite, smiled bitterly:
"Mr. Xiang, it's not that I'm too old to make a difference, you have also seen the current situation of online public opinion.
The reputation of [Legend of the Gods] is really poor, and the current box office results are still due to the early publicity.
After word of mouth spreads, it will be futile to do anything"
Xiang Huaqiang was still a little unwilling.
"I know that [Legend of the Gods] is not very good, but the comments of netizens are a little too much, is it really useless?
Yu Dong, do you think someone deliberately bought the water army to hack us? ”
Yu Dong looked at Xiang Huaqiang, who was sitting opposite, and laughed in his heart.
As far as your movie is concerned, do you still need other people's black, if you don't watch anything else, you can watch the fact that the protagonist of the movie is your son, you can't wash it away.
"Uh~ Mr. Xiang, Bona has been in the circle for so many years, not to mention the first in internal entertainment in terms of publicity and distribution, we are still confident in the top five or even the top three.
For the major media platforms on the Internet, professional self-media V, and water army, we have special personnel to monitor.
This time, no one really hacked us, it was completely the spontaneous propaganda of the audience who had watched the movie. ”
After a pause, Yu Dong said again.
"Moreover, you see that there are only two movies of the same period as our movie, and the box office momentum of [Jedi Escape], which was released last Thursday, has slowed down, and it is only thirty or forty million in a single day, and we will not have any effect on his box office increase.
[Tang Detective 2], which was released on the day of [Legend of the Gods] this Thursday morning, is really not at the same level as us.
The box office of two or three hundred million a day.
I estimate that Mr. Gu of [Wei Mingxia] also paid attention to the box office of [Fengshen] on the first day, and he would not pay attention to it after seeing that it was only more than 70 million.
So your worries are completely unnecessary."
In fact, what Yu Dong said about Xiang Huaqiang is not clear, he just can't help it.
Judging from the current situation, he has lost a lot of money in this movie.
Although [Legend of the Gods] is not as much as the 500 million investment advertised, there are more than 200 million in production and publicity.
The special effects of the movie are indeed made by the Hollywood team, and the joining of stars from all walks of life has also given money, of course, most of them are friendship prices.
Coupled with the publicity and distribution costs paid to Bona, the total investment exceeded 250 million.
Looking at it now, he will lose at least more than 100 million, and such a big loss makes Xiang Huaqiang's heart ache.
He originally wanted to rely on his connections to find big stars such as Li Lianjie to join, coupled with not weak special effects, compared with Zhou Runfa and Guo Fucheng's [Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace] the year before last, why didn't he get a billion box office.
When the time comes, make money and support your son, killing two birds with one stone.
How could he have thought that Li Lianjie, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Gu Tianyi, and Liang Jiahui have no box office appeal at all, and the movie actually made the audience spray like this.
Not to mention losing money, his son fell into the sand at the first step of his star journey, which was simply a loss to his wife and soldiers.
Thinking so, Xiang Huaqiang frowned and took out another cigarette.
Seeing this, Yu Dong, who was on the other side, hurriedly picked up a lighter and helped light it.
"Mr. Xiang, I would like to give you a suggestion, you may wish to contact foreign filmmakers now to see if you can sell the copyrights of some other countries.
With the signboard of Li Lian, coupled with the special effects of the film, there is a certain merit, and selling some foreign copyrights can also reduce some losses.
I don't think the domestic film market is going to work, so it's better not to have any hopes."
Xiang Huaqiang exhaled smoke and nodded slowly as he listened to Yu Dong's words.
The two chatted for a while, Xiang Huaqiang left Bona, and the office was quiet again.
Yu Dong sat in his own office chair, folded his hands, and thought for a while.
A large part of the publicity and distribution cost of [Legend of the Gods] has been received before the release of the movie, and a small part is still paid according to the contract, which will not be paid until the movie is released.
Although the producer [China Star Film] lost money, [Bona Film and Television], as the promoter, did not delay making money at all.
"Mr. Yu, you called me?"
The assistant knocked on the door and came in.
"Call the supervisors of the marketing department, planning department, and publicity department to the big conference room for a meeting in 10 minutes."
"Understood, Mr. Yu."
According to Yu Dong's experience, [Legend of the Gods] has reached this point, and there is no use for any means of publicity, and the rest will be left to its course.
He is not prepared to continue to devote more resources to this unfruitful film.
There are still two months to go to the National Day file, and the [Mekong Operation] controlled by [Bona Film and Television] will be released, and he is ready to take advantage of the popularity of Gu Wei [Tang Detective 2] to start promoting the movie that warms up his home.
"Mr. Xiang, don't blame me for not helping you, it's really [Legend of the Gods] that this movie is too uncompetitive.
The publicity and distribution fee paid by [China Star] was enough for Bona before the movie was released, and now I can only abandon you for this part."
Thinking so, Yu Dong picked up his mobile phone and dialed Gu Wei's phone, and after a few beeps, the phone was connected.
"Hello? Mr. Gu, congratulations on the box office hit!
Hahaha, I knew that Mr. Gu's movie would definitely be a success.
It's nothing, it's not [Operation Mekong] still two months away, and I'm ready to let the company start running ads and trailers.
It won't delay Mr. Gu's time, just cooperate with the Internet in the early stage, and then we will start the roadshow when it is about to be released.
When I turn around, I'll be the east, and call Director Lin Chaoxian, and Mr. Gu will definitely appreciate his face."
Yu Dong is a pure businessman, and whoever can help him make money and bring benefits to Bona is his closest partner.
