Chapter 302 Premiere of the Stick Country, the First Battle at Sea
Zhu Guosong has a feeling about Su Zhe:
Death for a confidant!
Last year, he was swept out of the house by the crew he pulled up with his own hands and brutally took away his "child".
The result? The first two TV series he filmed were over 9 points, and the third one after kicking him away was only 4 points.
Onlookers may feel that this proves his importance, and they are very slap in the face and very relieved.
But he only felt heartache, after all, it was a story he wrote based on his own youth experience!
And after being kicked out of the crew, he didn't find a job, and it seems that everyone in the circle feels that he is worthless after losing that IP.
At this time, Su Zhe was like an angel, handing over his "Evil Kiss" to him, allowing him to regain his strength and add another masterpiece to his name.
And unlike the previous works, "Evil Kiss" not only has a high rating, but also has more audiences, and it is applauded and acclaimed, allowing him to finally get rid of the embarrassing status quo of niche directors and gain a firm foothold in the TV circle.
The current Zhu Guosong, although he is not hot, will not be unable to find a job.
And Su Zhe also promised him to invest in his next original work.
With such a great kindness, how could Zhu Guosong not keep it firmly in his heart?
It's just that he's not an outgoing personality and isn't used to putting gratitude on his lips.
Now seeing Fei Jing slandering and smearing Su Zhe, even if he is still in retreat to write the script, he can't bear it anymore and has a long debate with him.
The more he argued, the more he felt that Fei Jing didn't understand bullshit at all, and he didn't know how to be a professor.
- Actually, it's the information gap.
It must be admitted that there is indeed a certain gap between Chinese literary and artistic works and some developed countries, which is an objective law-
Only by having a full stomach can we have leisure and elegance, and pursue spiritual civilization.
Especially a few decades ago, the gap between China and the rest of the world was even greater, and most ordinary people had no chance to see foreign works at all.
Some people rely on their good family backgrounds to be able to see foreign works, and through the information gap, they appear to be very knowledgeable and powerful, and they have gained respect and status.
In fact, this is the same as the ancient gate valve monopolizing books and knowledge.
But with the development of the domestic economy and the progress of the times, more and more people can see the scenery "monopolized" by them, which exposes their essence -
A bunch of well-informed straw bales are just that!
is like Fei Jing, even if he saw more mature foreign film works in advance, it did not inspire his thinking and make him a film master.
On the contrary, he made him "a fox and a fake tiger", and he could only use foreign movies to despise the filmmakers who were working hard in China.
Now, he is madly despising Su Zhe:
[Su Zhe also fooled the fans who didn't know anything in China, thinking that he was a genius. In fact, everyone in the circle knows that he is just good at sinicizing foreign countries. 】
In fact, the circle doesn't think so, it's all made up by him.
But some netizens, as soon as they saw this kind of "insider" remarks, they didn't need evidence, so they immediately believed it:
[No wonder he is so genius, it turns out that he is copying abroad. 】
[He is very good at English and stick language.,It's probably to facilitate sinicization.】 】
[If it weren't for Professor Yu, we wouldn't have known that Su Zhe was so disgusting. 】
Zhu Guosong was so angry that he refuted the past one by one:
["The Secret" is such an excellent idea, of course, it has the nutrients of its predecessors, and any creator must learn from the classics. 】
[But I dare to say that even if this movie is placed in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, it is a very good plot design. 】
Fei Jing saw his rebuttal, made persistent efforts, and laughed wildly:
[It's ridiculous, I finally know what a frog at the bottom of a well is.] After achieving box office success in the cultural desert, you think you can succeed in an extremely developed and prosperous foreign country? 】
[I also dare to say that "The Secret" is not to mention in Europe and the United States, but in the stick countries where idol dramas are developed, it can only be regarded as a mediocre work. 】
Zhu Guosong was about to be angry to death, and asked him rhetorically:
[You mean, the best romance movies in China are not ranked in the country of sticks? ] You are not only insulting "The Secret", but also insulting all Chinese filmmakers! 】
Fei Jing didn't care about Zhu Guosong's accusations at all, and directly admitted:
[Am I wrong?] If it weren't for the evil domestic film protection month system, the box office list would have been full of excellent foreign movies! It's not Su Zhe's turn to cheat money. 】
Zhu Guosong was so angry that he stopped writing his own script, and from the perspective of a screenwriter, he wrote a long article to analyze the advantages of "The Secret" in depth.
As an excellent screenwriter, he thinks differently from film critics.
Even the best film critics, as long as they haven't created it themselves, they will definitely not understand the points that many creators understand.
So this review article he wrote really has a lot of dry goods, which can be seen as an advanced tutorial for screenwriters.
It's a pity that on the Internet, the more dry the content, the less people will read it.
On the contrary, Fei Jing's reply is more interesting:
[Still squeezing? Okay, I just found out that "The Secret" is going to be released in the country of sticks, let's bet on the number of moviegoers? I bet less than 100,000, absolutely hit the street! Do you dare to bet on it? Lost the fruit run! 】
When Zhu Guosong saw this reply, he became even more angry and muttered:
"How can it be so simple for Chinese films to go overseas? Not only look at the quality, but also cultivate the market. ”
But after he replied like this, Fei Jing only asked him:
[Just ask if you dare to gamble? If you don't dare, get out! Net said a bunch of useless. 】
Zhu Guosong: ......
He didn't dare.
He has confidence in Su Zhe and the quality of "Secret", but he has no confidence in Bangguo.
But when the words were forced to this point, he didn't dare to bet that he retreated, and everything he said before was no longer convincing.
This made him feel very sorry for Su Zhe, and just as he wanted to grit his teeth and agree, he received a call from Su Zhe and asked him with a face:
"If you don't hurry up and catch up, what kind of fish will you touch? If you quarrel online, you will be disconnected! ”
Zhu Guosong understood that Su Zhe was concerned about himself, but when he heard his urging, he still felt a little aggrieved:
"Mr. Su, creation needs inspiration, and it is impossible to rush the manuscript...... Except for you, you're a tentacle monster. ”
Su Zhe smiled:
"Then hurry up and write, I have all my funds in my account, and the bank is looking for me all day long, wanting me to buy financial management. If you don't finish writing, just wait for your financial success before shooting. ”
Zhu Guosong was frightened, with the current market environment, if Su Zhe was fooled into buying financial management, he didn't know how many cents he could have left.
"Don't manage your money, I'll rush the manuscript!"
Zhu Guosong didn't dare to debate online.
Fei Jing felt that he had won and shouted:
[No one dares to bet, because they all know in their hearts that "Secret" is very mediocre! No one can look at it abroad! 】
Jiang Youliang was reporting the publicity of "Tumor Jun" to Su Zhe, and found that Su Zhe was watching Fei Jing's provocation, and his mind turned, and he immediately suggested:
"Boss, you can bet with him! is only betting on 100,000 viewers, even if we buy the box office ourselves, we will spend 7 million, and we will buy a hot search. ”
(The average ticket price in the country is about 70 yuan.) )
Su Zhe doesn't have to buy the box office, and he is sure that he won't lose, but the problem is:
"It's so humiliating, he bets on other things, it's also a decent thing; Gambling on the fruit? It's so vulgar! ”
Jiang Youliang was helpless:
"Boss, you're good at everything, but you're too embarrassed."
Su Zhe was also very helpless, and couldn't help but persuade him:
"Director Jiang, you are very creative, and you have the ruthlessness to grind your teeth and suck blood to succeed. However, in the field of popular art, long-term reputation is the most important, and it is most taboo to only look at immediate profits. ”
There was an example in his previous life, Dapeng was really invincible in terms of audience and passers-by during "Dick Silk Man", but a "Pancake Man" that fooled the audience was all squandered.
In fact, most of his later works, whether starring or directing, are above the level line, but they have never been able to sell well.
(I really think "Brother Gong's Fucking Band" is funnier than "Iron Fist of Shame" in the same period, but the gap in popularity between the two sides is too big.) Personal opinion only. )
Why? To pay off the debt of "Pancake Man", it can only be said that he deserves it!
So is it worth ruining your long-term reputation for a quick moment (or even making money for investors)?
Su Zhe couldn't talk about this example, after all, it was from a previous life, so he could only look at Jiang Youliang sincerely, hoping that he could understand.
But Jiang Youliang still looks a little unconvinced, feeling that this is Su Zhe's decency as an artist, not the correct business logic.
Su Zhe didn't bother to persuade, anyway, in a team, it's normal for everyone to think differently, as long as they all listen to him:
"Anyway, leave him alone, don't let the jumping clown get into the heat, and it will naturally stop. I also asked my friends not to take a stubble, otherwise the more they ignore him, the more they will be more and more energetic. ”
Su Zhe decided to treat it coldly, but the Golden Dragon Award disagreed.
After the Film Association saw Fei Jing's victory, although he didn't like his contempt for Chinese films, in order to prove that the Golden Dragon Award was not shady, he could only pinch his nose and hype:
#"Secret" mediocre work#
[Am I the only one who thinks "Secret" is ordinary? 】
[Yes, that's right, you're alone. You are the spirit of heaven and earth, you are the missing puzzle of history, you are the missing treasure of civilization, you are the limited edition, you are the out-of-print seedling, you are the chosen one, you are the last supper, you are the electricity, you are the light, you are the only retarded! 】
[Good fight! 】
[Fans don't climax, Zhu Guosong didn't dare to bet with Fei Jing, and no one even dared to stand up and gamble, can't it explain the problem? ] 】
[Yes, Su Zhe is not very rigid, he thinks that the Golden Dragon Award is unfair, so why doesn't he dare to bet with Fei Jing? ] 】
[I think I've been poked!] 】
A group of sunspots were laughing, and finally saw a star stand up-
Yu Haohua directly said in tuba under the hot search:
[I can't help it! Su Zhe asked us to ignore the jumping clown, but Fei Jing you are too much! I bet with you and lose the fruit run! 】
After a while, Fei Jing replied excitedly:
[A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase!] 】
Su Zhe couldn't help but reply:
[Yu Haohua! Why don't you answer the phone? If you don't add heat to him, why don't you listen? (Angry)】
Yu Haohua replied to Fei Jing:
[Su Zhe told me that he will definitely be able to exceed 100,000 viewers, but he doesn't want to use this kind of bet, it seems very low. But I'm not afraid of low, you wait for the fruit to run! 】
Back to the Philosophy of Recovery:
[I'm worried that you'll scold me.] 】
Su Zhe was speechless:
[You still know that you will be scolded!] Say, how much did you drink? 】
Yu Haohua was surprised:
How do you know? 】
Su Zhe: [......]
The onlookers were going to die of laughter, and a good sabre-rattling bet quickly turned into a comedy after Horwath appeared.
Don't look at this thing with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he has comedian talent......
Under the chaos of this comedian, the bet between the two was still established, and the bet was Guoben.
low is a little low, but it lies in Horwath......
It's also in line with the character design.
After all, even the mentally retarded (Da Yong in "The Secret") has been played.
Due to the gambling contract, the box office of "Secret" suddenly attracted attention, and some marketing accounts began to move.
But the premiere of "The Secret" in the country of the stick was very poor, only 16 theaters played, each of which only showed four shows, which is equivalent to only 64 shows in the whole country of the base.
In this case, it is normal to have only 6,000 spectators on the first day.
However, it is difficult for the marketing account to find out the number of films, or it is deliberately concealed when it is found, and it wants to make big news, and only transmits 6,000 viewers back to China on the first day.
The sunspots suddenly laughed and peed:
[Only 6,000? It's almost the same as the street book I chased! 】
[Hahaha, laughing to death, 6,000 viewers? ] I'm afraid I'm going to have a day trip to the theater! 】
[It turns out that Su Zhe went out to gild! ] I let foreigners see the joke. 】
Even the sugar canes don't have the confidence to refute it, pretending to be ostriches and autistic.
In fact, Light and Shadow and Bangguo Cinema are very pleasantly surprised by this.
Of course, 6,000 people will not surprise them, and the surprise is that the number of audiences in a single show is close to 100, and almost every show is full of theaters!
According to normal business logic, theaters must add more screenings and increase the scope of screenings until the number of audiences in a single show is reduced to the average line to ensure that the benefits are maximized.
But how can Bangguo Cinema easily give so many films to a Chinese movie?
What's more, they feel in their hearts that it must be that Chinese students must come to support their fellow villagers in order to achieve such good results, and their potential is insufficient, so they don't need to expand the screening.
But on the second day, the number of spectators reached 8,000!
All the performances were full, and there was also a phenomenon that the audience could not buy tickets.
But the cinema still thinks:
"It's just Chinese students."
At this time, the audience who has watched "The Secret" has reached 14,000, and the number of Chinese students in Bangbang is about 15,000.
If you look at it this way, "The Secret" is indeed exhausted in potential, and there is no need to add screenings......
Are you sure?
And after the data was transmitted back to China the next day, it sparked ridicule as usual:
[It's still not enough to book a badge!] 】
[It's so miserable, it is estimated that it will be released in the next few days. ] 】
[The number of viewers is only 14,000, which is still far from 100,000, but I didn't expect Fei Jing to overestimate Su Zhe. 】
[Bet you have to leave some margin.] 】
Fei Jing also thought that he had won, and proudly ran to Yu Haohua's Weibo to urge:
[You lose, hurry up and fulfill the bet!] 】
In fact, almost no one fulfills the online gambling contract, otherwise how many keyboards and human excrement would have to be consumed in a year?
But Fei Jing must come to urge, not to see Yu Haohua go to fruition, or to nail the winner or loser and achieve a complete victory.
But he didn't expect that Yu Haohua was really a man who was difficult to chase.
A moment later, he uploaded a video on Weibo, which was the back of himself running in an uninhabited alley with his bare buttocks and no shoes on.
Netizens were stunned:
[He keeps his promise so much? 】
Su Zhe was even more stunned:
""The Secret" hasn't been released yet, and the final result hasn't been determined yet, so why did you surrender?"
What kind of French military behavior is this?
The real data found was 16 theaters, which were later expanded to 18, with 60,000 people in 20 days and 80,000 people in 35 days. So the box office on the first day is really not much.
