Chapter 218: Victory in the First Battle
Before the Christmas schedule, the publicity of the Internet is a dragon fight, "Shadow" is a dragon, and "The Thirteen Langs of the South Sea" is a tiger, and each does not give in.
After the premiere, again, the media audience and filmmakers basically only paid attention to these two films.
However, the treatment of the two is very different.
Let's talk about the opening results of the two movies on Douban.
"Shadow" scored 7.4 points
"The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" scored 8.8 points
The former is that there is still room for decline, and the latter is that there is still an upward trend.
At the audience level, Pei Wen's works were cleaned in seconds.
"I feel that the shadow is useless except that the picture can be used as wallpaper, and the whole movie is a film shot by Pei Wen in order to satisfy his desire for scenery and composition."
"Has Pei Wen regressed to this point? Zhang Cang, the god of war, relied on the Daguan knife to defend a city, and if he wanted to take the city, he had to break the old Zhang family's knife technique, I might as well listen to the commentary...... Especially why is the weapon of the leading Zhang Cang a Guan Dao, and the weapons of his soldiers are all Daguan Dao! Guan Dao vs. Dhara Iron Umbrella, epic awkwardness, tonight toe really carried out a big project. ”
"The film's depiction of politics is simply kindergarten level, and the ink painting style is good, but the costume makes people play, and what makes people play is the pale lines, otherwise we will write the script well next time?"
"This is the movie I've been waiting for for so long? I was happy to see this style in the trailer for more than a month, and I thought it was a beautiful meal, but you served me Wallace? It's not that you can't eat it, but it's a new challenge for the stomach. Give it a score of seven, the attempt at the style of ink painting is still worthy of recognition. ”
The above are all excerpts from the more civilized evaluation, and the uncivilized directly said that Pei Wen engages in Orientalism, using ink kaftan and transparent screens, which are formatted in the eyes of Westerners to fool people.
is still the same sentence, "Shadow" is definitely a movie above the passing line, after all, it was carefully made by Pei Wen.
But the corresponding publicity gave the audience too high a sense of expectation.
The audience expects at least eight points, and a small number of people expect a nine-point movie, but you serve a seven-point movie, which is not scolded who is scolded.
And Nanhai Shisanlang's comment is a compliment, we don't look at it much, let's select five representative.
=Bad Boy=:"It may be that my viewing volume is too low, in terms of my shallow viewing volume, the ceiling of the actor's performance is Huang Baiyou who plays Jiang Yubi, Yu Mo is really a dog, I also very much agree, if you sign up for the top three in Europe, the probability of winning the actor is infinitely close to 100%. ”
There are no words in the name: "In the second half of the year, I entered Rem, it was so good to cry, I remembered a very cruel sentence that the teacher said, I didn't understand it before, but now I understand it, the artist's misfortune is the luck of art." ”
Guardian of the Law: "I'm going to prove that the article has value!" This movie can be said to be a love letter to screenwriters, let me make a violent argument, isn't it artificial intelligence that has caused a Hollywood screenwriters' strike this year? If the film is made into an American version and then released, the writers' strike will solve half of the problem. ”
Jue's human affairs: "The voice of tears and the shadow of the daughter are fragrant, where is the Yan Gui to find the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, the red silk crosses the cold river and snow at night, and the idiot is the thirteenth lang." Cantonese opera ticket holders born in the 90s, seeing this play, they are full of emotion, the screenwriter has worked hard, and the subtitles of the stage play are [Remnant Tang], these few sentences of Jiang Yubiao's play, one of which is "Five Generations of Remnant Tang". ”
Jue's human affairs: "I'm sorry it's still me, I'm a little excited, one more thing, dare to love and hate to be a lover, arrogant and half a life, I really can't imagine that someone can really play Thirteen Lang." [Don't think you're a genius, a real genius has only two endings, one is early death, the other is crazy, and the tragedy ends, because genius will never compromise with the world], Huang Baiyou is the white phoenix in the snow mountain! ”
All the praises are left with ID numbers, and the selected bad reviews have no names, because if they are seen by Pei Wen, how can they be investigated?
Obviously, this worry is not superfluous, Pei Wen himself will also pay attention to the evaluation of the work on the Internet, and will also search for it, feeling that the gap between the two makes him silent.
"Lao Pei is okay, right?" The big housekeeper Lao Tu is very concerned about Pei Wen's physical condition, after all, he is the only cash cow in the studio.
Pei Wen said: "How is the box office? ”
"The box office is very good, 370 million on the first day." Lao Tu said.
Hearing this, Pei Wen's face improved slightly, and the box office of 1.5 billion on the first day seemed to be very stable.
"Where's that over there?" Pei Wen asked.
"280 million." Lao Tu said, "Huang Baiyou's box office appeal is not weak, plus Yu Mo and others are very insidious, and they didn't break out until they won five actors, and the publicity added up to let them have this box office." ”
"Don't worry, the movie is stamina." Lao Tu thought in his heart, Pei Wen must hold on, this is what to do, the first wave of audience feedback is only, and the second wave of both movies have been watched by the party, and then there are professional film critics, self-media, film and television practitioners, etc.
"No matter what, the box office of the movie must exceed 1.5 billion." Pei Wen said.
"No problem, in addition to Jinyi Cinemas, other theater chains such as Wanda, Dadi, Xingmei, Pacific, and New Film Association have been negotiated, and the film schedule in the first week can be maintained at more than 40%, and the film schedule of "Thirteen Lang of the South China Sea" can be pressed to less than 25 percent." Lao Tu said.
can affect the theater schedule, this is the real killer feature!
"Very good." Pei Wen nodded, it is not that the quality of the movie is high and the box office is high, not to mention that he does not think that the quality of his movie is worse than that of Nanhai.
"I told Master Xiang to let him work hard and hold a few more roadshows." Pei Wen said.
As mentioned earlier, Yuan Xiangshi is one of the actors with the highest appeal at the domestic box office, with a t0 level.
"Let Xiao Chi also go to brush his face and prepare for the next movie." Pei Wen is already preparing for his next work.
Other directors release movies, and the management judges whether to invest or not based on the box office results, but Pei Wen doesn't need it, he has no shortage of investment, so it's okay to promote three movies at the same time.
"Xiao Chi shouldn't be able to appear in public for the time being......" Lao Tu hesitated.
Pei Wen asked, "What stupid thing did he do?" ”
"He said that he was under a lot of pressure, and he hit the wall with his head, and he hit himself bruised and purple, and he was not easy to see people." Lao Tu said.
"Does he know what he's doing? Face is the life of an actor, and I don't want to be a big star anymore. Pei Wen said, "As for the pressure, what kind of pressure can there be, and there is no way for many celebrities to withstand this kind of pressure." ”
"Forget it, let him rest for a day, and then ask the stylist to get him a hat look." Pei Wen arranged.
It's incredible, I actually let Chi Chang rest for a day, and my conscience found it! Lao Tu thought so in his heart.
"Huang Baiyou and Chi Chang's acting skills, who do you think is better?" Pei Wen asked suddenly, because he had seen some comments just now.
Abyss Watcher: "Before watching it, I didn't understand why I could sweep the five actors, and after watching it, I wanted to ask why, and the Busan Film Festival and Tokyo Film Festival didn't give awards?" There is no actor award at the Busan Film Festival, don't you know that there is one? Pei Wen is old, his eyes are not good, and exchanging Chi Chang for Huang Baiyou is the most serious mistake he has made in his directorial career. ”
Big fat pig? : "Huang Baiyou's Nanhai Thirteen Lang, after watching it, it was difficult to withdraw from the film for a long time, and he sighed for Jiang Yubi. But looking at Chi Chang's interpretation of Ziyu and Jingzhou, I won't talk about Jingzhou, what is Ziyu, as the governor of the capital, what about your mind, what about your courage? A good character was played by Chi Chang as an incompetent and furious cuckold king. ”
It doesn't matter if Lao Tu has seen similar comments from netizens, but Lao Tu is not stupid, anyone with a normal IQ knows the answer.
……
The shadow side is under great pressure, and the Thirteen Lang side is the first battle winner.
Christmas schedule, movie box office rankings.
1, "Shadow" 3.7 on the first day, 2.1 on the next day, and a total of 5.8
2, "The Thirteen Langs of the South Sea" 2.8 on the first day, 2.5 on the next day, and 5.3 in total
3. "Cloud Country" is 1.4 on the first day, 1.1 on the next day, and 2.5 in total
……
Units (100 million yuan).
Huang Baiyou, Yu Mo, Zhang Du, Wu Lifeng and other main creators are holding a celebration banquet.
"Mr. Huang, you are my only god, the box office is 500 million in two days, so you can get more than 1 billion?!" Wu Lifeng, the gambling dog, was elated, which directly achieved the pinnacle of his life.
"Hey, it's only one billion, and the courage is magnified, and the box office predicted by the market is 1.2-1.5 billion." Zhang Du is also glorious, and Tang Disheng, whom he plays, has also become a representative figure.
"We have a chance to surpass Shadow!"
Suddenly, a male voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look, the speaker was director Yu Mo, who used to be the most conservative at the box office, but now he has the biggest "tone".
""Shadow" is an investment of 150 million, including the publicity and distribution costs, it should not be less than 200 million, and our movie is only a few dollars." Yu Modao, "With a small broad, if we succeed, our name will remain in the history of film!" ”
When he said this, Zhang Du and the others were excited, and they didn't necessarily say that it was really possible.
And after Yu Mo was in the chicken soup, he arranged a very strict roadshow. The next week may be one city per day, and the first-tier cities will be turned around first.
However, the people who had just drunk the chicken soup did not complain at all, and accepted it with high morale.
Huang Baiyou looked at Yu Mo, and the Internet felt that Yu Mo was very cowardly, and he was not confident to report to the top three in Europe.
But Yu Mo's personality is not just cowardice, think about it at the beginning, this product was ready to make up the gimmick with the bald head and the teacher's lines.
So his real personality is that he doesn't feel like he has a chance to touch it at all, and he will do his best to pounce on it when he has the slightest opportunity.
This kind of personality will help his ex-girlfriend take care of the child, which is also very strange, Huang Baiyou has a little doubt in his heart, during the filming before, Ma Qing sent the child to the crew for a few days.
"The movie is on fire, and the red envelopes must be prepared." Huang Baiyou said with a smile.
The producer, who has almost no sense of existence, immediately spoke, "Rest assured, the boss said that the number of red envelopes will definitely satisfy you!" ”
This was a very high point, and everyone was elated.
"Brother Qin, the king of the Christmas schedule, this title can be used." Wu Xiaoxiao couldn't get the red envelope, so she was more concerned about other things.
"For now, yes." Qin Xing nodded.
"Hahaha." Wu Xiaoxiao is happy, I have to eat a little more tonight.
The celebration banquet is also a big meal, with box office results, and the producers are willing to spend money.
"I want to thank Pei Wen, "The Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" can be regarded as stepping on Pei Wen's fame, he wants to use Bai You to praise Chi Chang, and now the propaganda is backfired." The corners of Qin Xing's mouth hung with mockery, "Because of Pei Wen, at least 30% more box office has been created for us." ”
He held his mobile phone to read the evaluation, and it was a comparison of the two movies, which was quite exciting.
