Chapter 278: Sinking Before Setting Sail [2140 Monthly Pass Plus Update]
Jiang Dalin was a little anxious.
Because she found that she couldn't control the bad reviews of "Taiping Wheel" at all.
There are just too many people who give bad reviews.
Wu Baige incarnated as Director Bi and became the person he hated the most: "Mr. Li, check, we must find out, who is behind us? If it is Yue Guan's instructions, I must make him pay the price." Forget about commercial competition, how can you be so uncompromising?"
This reaction is exactly the same as that of Director Bi back then.
Li Xun looked like he was twenty years older.
At the beginning of the year, Director Bi's "Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz" gave her a heavy blow.
But there was hope for her then.
"The Peace Wheel" is her last hope.
Now, "Taiping Wheel" is starting to be screened.
It has not yet officially set sail.
But judging from the current situation, it may be stranded.
This result is enough for her to die without a place to be buried.
Li Xun didn't even want to struggle anymore.
She was desperate.
She just didn't get it.
Director Bi doesn't care, why can Wu Baige be so pitted?
Seeing that Li Xun didn't speak, Wu Baige became even more angry: "Mr. Li, you speak, we can't just sit still." ”
Li Xun looked at Wu Baige with a dead man's gaze, and calmed Wu Baige.
Then Li Xun said to Jiang Dalin: "Dalin, tell Director Wu about the situation you found." ”
Jiang Dalin's eyes were a little complicated when she looked at Director Wu.
"Director Wu, I inquired, Mo Xiangwan did contact a group of water troops, but they haven't started working yet. ”
Wu Baige's body trembled: he looked at Jiang Dalin in disbelief: "What did you say? ”
Jiang Dalin had to repeat: "Mo Xiangwan's contact with the water army has not yet begun to end, and now 99% of the bad reviews on the Internet are spontaneous comments from netizens." ”
If these black comments were found by the crew of "Pure Heart, Dream Chaser", then as long as there is evidence, they can use this to completely gain the upper hand in public opinion.
But most of these black reviews are all true.
It's stiff.
You can't reason with netizens.
So Jiang Dalin, a "public relations genius", is helpless.
Wu Baige couldn't accept this: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible. It must be that you are not accurate enough to investigate, and the navy army is so deeply hidden, how can you find out? Mr. Jiang, you are still young, your professional ability is too poor, and you don't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister. ”
Wu Baige began to question Jiang Dalin's business ability.
To be reasonable, it is indeed the facts that are questioned.
He also questioned Jiang Dalin from the bottom of his heart for a long time.
But this time, Jiang Dalin really didn't lie to him.
The sailor that Mo Xiangwan is looking for has indeed not ended up in person.
Wu Baige's questioning made Jiang Dalin a little angry: "Director Wu, if you don't believe it, go check it yourself." ”
Wu Baige was even more angry: "I want me to do everything, what else do you want you to do?" Jiang Dalin, this is your task. ”
"Director Wu, I have already told you the results of my investigation. Jiang Dalin spread her hands: "It's not a secret how many water armies there are in the industry, and the accounts of those black reviews are also well documented." Director Wu, this is the reality. ”
Wu Baige was struck by lightning.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, how can my movie be on the same level as the surname Bi?"
Jiang Dalin hesitated, but still comforted: "It's not so exaggerated, Director Wu, the evaluation of "Taiping Wheel" is still much stronger than that of "Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz". The vast majority of fans have given "Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz" one star, or two or three stars to "Taiping Wheel". ”
Wu Baige: "......"
Is this comfort?
He is a director who has made a name for himself in Hollywood, is his pursuit to make a movie that surpasses "Pure Heart, Dream Showbiz"?
This time, he really rushed to build the Oriental "Titanic".
And that's what the reality looks like.
He couldn't take it.
"There must be something wrong somewhere, it must be, there can be no problem with the film itself. ”
If there is a problem with the movie itself, it means that there is a problem with him, the director.
Wu Baige can't carry this pot.
But the audience's feedback is indeed that there is something wrong with the movie itself.
Jiang Dalin is very realistic, and has one thing to say: "Director Wu, the most negative comments from the audience is that you spent more than two hours shooting a trailer, most of the audience is looking forward to the shipwreck plot, but what you show the audience is an abusive love scene and thinking about anti-war." ”
"It's art, art. Wu Baige's face turned red.
"Art has a. Li Xun, who had been silent, finally spoke, his voice hoarse and indifferent: "Can art make money?" Wu Baige, I was wrong, I left you too much respect, and let you take my money to engage in your art. ”
She burns money to make movies to make money.
It's not for Wu Baige to express his thoughts.
After the release of "Taiping Wheel", Li Xun carefully collected feedback from the audience.
There is also a plot that seriously ponders the plot of "Taiping Wheel".
She summed up the reasons:
In the movie "Taiping Wheel", Wu Baige is not rushing to make the audience happy.
He wanted to educate the audience and instill some of his ideas in the audience.
But when the audience goes to the cinema to watch a movie, who TM is going to learn things?
Happy and cool, it's over.
Why do you carry so many private goods?
Previously, because of Wu Baige's identity as a director, neither she nor Leshi Pictures interfered in Wu Baige's creation.
Thinking about it now, Li Xun regrets it very much.
Wu Baige really shouldn't be given such a big privilege.
Hearing Li Xun's unceremonious accusation, Wu Baige's face couldn't hold back: "Mr. Li, how can you talk to me like this?"
Li Xun laughed miserably: "Yes, I am going bankrupt now, what qualifications do I have to speak to you like this?"
Wu Baige was a little embarrassed.
He's also a face-saving person.
He had already brought MGM down in Hollywood before.
If this makes another movie and brings down Swift, how can he mix up in the industry?
Thinking of this, Wu Baige hurriedly spoke: "Mr. Li, don't be so pessimistic. Now "Taiping Wheel" is only screened, and it has not been officially released yet. Word-of-mouth is not a complete thing, word-of-mouth is not good, but there are more movies that sell well at the box office. And the reputation of "Taiping Wheel" is not so bad that it is intolerable, there are still five or six points. ”
Jiang Dalin also nodded when she heard this: "Sister Xun, what Director Wu said makes sense, there is no need to despair." Now there are no blockbusters in the same period, and if "Taiping Wheel" is released, the box office will not be too bad. ”
Li Xun's face looked a little better.
"Arrange a screening, don't order a screening. ”
Li Xun feels that if it continues to be screened, "Taiping Wheel" may be lost.
Wu Baige didn't dare to insist anymore.
As a result, "Taiping Wheel" was released again, and he couldn't care about fighting with Yue Guan.
On the first day of release, the first-day scheduling rate of "Taiping Wheel" reached 34.61%, but the average attendance was only 16 people per game, and the box office on the first day was less than 25 million.
A number that made Li Xun desperate.
But what made her even more desperate was still to come.
The next day, when the film schedule only dropped by 0.45%, the box office of "Taiping Wheel" fell by 33% to 16.3 million yuan.
"Taiping Steamer" was sunk before it officially set sail.
