The preparation of "Animal World" was watched by the studio, and there were also professional managers on the side of "Buried Alive", so Zhang Yuanjun was able to take time out to build momentum for the new album.

Because he has to face Wang Lihong, Zhang Yuanjun can be said to be busy in the past few days, and at most, he ran five cities in two days and did seven activities.

Zhang Yuanjun has not worked in vain, and the hard work of the past few days has paid off significantly.

The pre-sale of the new album has exceeded 30,000 copies, and as more and more people hear about the pre-sale album, the reputation of "Zhang Yuanjun's album of the same name" has begun to ferment, and several major distributors in Maitian have placed additional orders.

Song Ke looked at the pre-sale data and couldn't stop smiling.

"According to this growth trend, we will be able to store at least 100,000 goods on the 24th."

A newcomer, the first album sold 100,000 for the first time, and the best newcomer has not run.

Zhang Yuanjun was also happy to hear this data, and he has not been busy in vain these days.

I was so happy that I didn't have time to pay attention to the good results of "Wu Ji" on the first day of release, which won 21 million box office.

This result has set a new box office record for all Chinese and foreign blockbusters released this year, including "Harry Potter 4".

However, the audience's reputation after the premiere was mediocre, far less than the feedback at the premiere.

However, the word-of-mouth on the first day did not have time to ferment.

The first weekend of "Boundless" is here.

On the 17th, Saturday, it collected 25 million, breaking the previous single-day box office record created by "Kung Fu".

On Sunday, the 18th, with a box office of 82 million in the first weekend, it broke the record of 63 million set by "Kung Fu".

Breaking 100 million is a foregone conclusion.

But with the end of the first weekend, the reputation of "Wu Ji" gradually became uncontrollable.

On the 21st, "Competition" published an article criticizing "Wuji" for earning box office and accompanying word of mouth:

“…… However, the high box office failed to bring a good reputation to the film, our reporter conducted a questionnaire survey on 100 audiences in Xidan Times Cinema and Wangfujing New Century Cinema, and found that 56% of the audience did not like "Wuji", 32% of the audience replied that they didn't feel it after watching it, and felt that the movie was very ordinary, and only 12% of the audience liked this movie. ”

Among the viewers who accepted this questionnaire, the storyline and lines set by Chen Kaige for "Wu Ji" made hundreds of viewers collectively dissatisfied. 73% of the audience thought that the story of "Wu Ji" was average, and they said that they could not be moved by the movie. ”

"94% of the audience thought the lines were 'very poor', and the remaining 6% of the audience only gave 'average' ratings. Some viewers said: 'The lines of "Wuji" are all spoken in a yin and yang weird tone, which makes people very uncomfortable to listen to. ’”

Regarding the golden finger designed by Chen Kaige for Duke Wuhuan of the North, he explained that this weapon represents "the finger of a thousand people", which is intended to show that Wuhuan has betrayed his relatives and left his relatives.

But the audience didn't buy his design, and accused it of being "funny".

The free comments of netizens are even more poisonous.

"If 'Boundless' is a comedy, he's a success."

"The dialogue actually advertised that it was Shakespearean, haha, the cutest sentence was that after Kunlun brought light to catch up with Allure, she said: 'I'm not scared anymore...... I burst out laughing with Coke. Don't ask elementary school students to write scripts in the future, okay? It's so naïve. ”

"I also want the sea to go backwards, to turn back time, and to have the snow fall in the spring...... Because of my money, it's really unjustly spent~~~Ah~~~"

Zhang Yuanjun has been tired of running propaganda for the past few days, so he specially looked for the poisonous comments of netizens to relieve his boredom.

Now netizens are quite merciful, if Sun Bar's abstract brother is asked to write a comment on "Wuji", the picture will not dare to think.

These reviews were not enough to collapse the reputation of "Wu Ji", and the bad reviews were completely detonated after the blog queen Xu Jinglei and the young writer Han Han commented on the movie.

Xu bluntly said that Chen Kaige filmed the actress too ugly, and the martial arts scene was dizzy.

Han bluntly said that Chen's movie was "too contrived", and the lines and script were "too pretentious", and criticized Director Chen for not understanding special effects.

Some people have previously accused "Wuji" of not knowing where to spend tens of millions of special effects.

In fact, there is a response to the special effects question, and the special effects of "Boundless" are in charge of Wan Kuan on Hong Kong Island.

Their special effects staff didn't want to take the pot, accusing Director Chen of not having clear needs: "At first, we said that the general's hair should be black, we made it black, and then we said that we wanted red, so we changed it to red, and then we said that it was yellow, and we changed it to yellow, and finally said that it was better to be black." ”

In this way, the money was spent, the time was delayed, and the effect did not come out.

However, in the bad reviews like ocean waves, the crew of "Wuji" also fought back.

On the 20th, news came from distant Berlin that "Boundless" was shortlisted for next year's Berlin Film Festival.

Of course, it's out of competition – the main competition section of the A-category film festival requires the film to premiere at the festival – but the press release doesn't say so.

This is the second international award invitation received by the crew of "Boundless" after the Golden Globe Awards.

However, within two days, Chen Kaige's old comrade-in-arms, Mr. Lu Wei, the screenwriter of "Farewell My Concubine", was pushed to the forefront of public opinion because of his words.

"The theme of 'Wu Ji' is very illusory, the plot is scattered, and it is a very failed film."

Public opinion was out of control at once.

Zhang Yuanjun is still promoting the release of the new album, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to watch the news.

But he knew that the real storm would come on the 28th.

On this day, Zhang Yuanjun promoted the new album in the mountain city.

Returned to the hotel at 11pm.

Xiao Zhao also told him: "Ning Hao is here." ”

"Huh? Who? ”

"The big-headed Ning Hao, the director of "Big Diamond"."

"I know, I mean, what is he doing? Didn't he do the late stage in the capital? ”

"Not a penny is gone, come and beg us to come." Zhang Yuanjun's studio previously clearly refused to re-invest in "Big Diamond".

After Ning Hao left, he approached Zhongying and said that as long as 2 million yuan, he could finish the later stage and cover the publicity.

But Zhongying was only willing to give 500,000, and after Ning Hao took the 500,000, it was used up by 1/2 in the later stage.

China Film will not give money this time.

Han San took a fancy to Zhang Yuanjun's play in Hollywood and gave Zhang Yuanjun his share.

Ning Hao had no choice but to be cheeky and chase to the mountain city to beg Zhang Yuanjun.

In this big night, he couldn't be hung out, Zhang Yuanjun went to see Ning Hao.

Ning Hao visibly lost a lot of weight with the naked eye, and he was exhausted.

Ning Hao didn't say hello, and said directly: "I really can't help it, 1.8 million, I only need 1.8 million, and you take 40% of the share of "Big Diamond". ”

Zhang Yuanjun knew that Ning Hao was not a long-term resident, but he looked very pitiful now, and it seemed that he was really cornered.

Zhang Yuanjun was really moved by compassion: "Andy Lau agreed?" ”

"If he doesn't agree, he can't help it, he doesn't want to give money." In business, Andy Lau is very shrewd in this regard.

"It's not that I don't want to vote, I personally like the script of "Big Diamond", but if you have to persuade Andy Lau to let go, I will give money."

Ning Hao saw hope and promised to convince Andy Lau.

In fact, "Big Diamond" has been going on so far, and Andy Lau is also difficult to ride a tiger.

He accounts for the majority of the investment, and if "Big Diamond" dies, his 3 million investment will be lost.

But he will not invest in Ning Hao without a bottom line, at this critical juncture, he will either grit his teeth and continue to give Ning Hao 2 million, or find external investment to share the risk.

Zhang Yuanjun felt that the latter was very likely, so he really asked the studio to assist Ning Hao this time and strive to win "Big Diamond".
