Entertainment: Defamation, I definitely don’t have any hidden rules

Facts have proved that all small calculations are useless under the absolute crushing of word-of-mouth.

Audiences will vote with their money.

On the second day, the screening schedules of “The Great Wall” and “The Invisible Guardian” did not change much.

But the latter has surpassed the former in terms of single-day box office.

The first-day box office of “The Great Wall” was 258 million, and the second-day box office was 166 million.

The first-day box office of “The Invisible Guardian” was 112 million, and the second-day box office was 179 million.

Although “The Great Wall” is still leading in the total box office, anyone with a discerning eye can see that “The Invisible Guardian” is going to make a move.

The cinema manager also knows the current market trend, so the screening schedule of “The Invisible Guardian” began to rise slowly, and the screening schedule of “The Great Wall” began to fall.

Even if Zhang Yimou gave up the profit, he could not stop this trend.

On the third day, the box office of “The Invisible Guardian” rose again, while “The Great Wall” was weak in the follow-up. Not only did it lose the daily box office champion, but the total box office was also surpassed by “The Invisible Guardian”.

First place: The Invisible Guardian, daily box office: 254 million, total box office: 558 million.

Second place: The Great Wall, daily box office: 115 million, total box office: 551 million.

When the box office surpassed, the media that had been waiting for a long time immediately issued the news that had been written long ago.

“The decline of the old director, the rise of the new generation!”

“A rising star, the rise of director Cao An. ”

“Zhang Yimou lost, Cao An may win the championship of this year’s National Day. ”

“The true meaning of “guardianship”, why Cao An can surpass Zhang Yimou. ”

…

For a time, the Internet was full of articles praising Cao An and belittling Zhang Yimou.

Because the public likes to watch this kind of drama of the old king falling and the new emperor rising the most.

Although some people say that the Great Wall is not as bad as everyone imagines, under the rolling waves, these are all submerged stones.

…

“Boss, the Sixth Princess’ Movie Star podcast wants to invite the creators of “The Invisible Guardian” to participate in the program.”

Fang Haoli took an invitation letter to Cao An’s office and said.

“I have nothing to do, so I’ll go.”

“Okay, I’ll reply to them right away.”

After Fang Haoli left, Cao An sent a message to several main actors.

Soon, he received a reply.

After the Sixth Princess confirmed that Cao An would bring several main actors, she immediately launched a preview of the matter.

In the movie report program.

The host said:

With the arrival of the National Day, my country’s film market has ushered in one of the most important golden periods of the year.

During this year’s National Day, two highly anticipated movies—“The Great Wall” and “The Invisible Guardian”—are competing fiercely for the box office, attracting the attention of countless audiences.

“The Great Wall” is a magical movie directed by Zhang Yimou and co-produced with Hollywood, with a total investment of 150 million dollars, or about 1 billion yuan.

But this movie is not as good as “The Invisible Guardian” directed by young director Cao An in terms of box office.

Netizens’ comments on the former are mixed.

Some people say: “The Great Wall” does a great job in visual effects.

But some netizens also said: The plot depth and character development are slightly weak, lacking sufficient emotional resonance.

As for the other movie, netizens gave rave reviews.

Said: Let us feel the pain and struggle of the martyrs, as well as their perseverance.

Some netizens also said: It’s so touching, I cried.

Some people even said: “The Invisible Guardian” perfectly embodies the word “guardian”, because our happy life today is the best sequel to this movie.

After briefly listing some comments from netizens, the camera turned and the host made a preview.

“I believe that many netizens are as curious as I am about how “The Invisible Guardian” was created and why it resonates with the audience.”

“We are fortunate to have invited the director and several leading actors of “The Invisible Guardian”. Welcome everyone to tune in to the Movie Star Podcast at 7:20 tomorrow night. We will find out for everyone.”

As soon as this program was broadcast, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

“Hahaha, the Sixth Princess almost wrote “Go to see “The Invisible Guardian”” on her face.”

“This comparison, you understand the comments of netizens.”

“The attack power is still a little low!”

“Wow, Director Cao’s interview, is this the first time Director Cao has appeared in the media?”

“I am looking forward to it. Will the five golden flowers of the guardian come together?”

“…”

…

Imperial Capital, Zhang Yimou Studio.

“Director Zhang, the theaters are unwilling to continue to maintain the high screening of “The Great Wall.”

The assistant handed a piece of data to Zhang Yimou and said.

“Let’s reduce the share a little more” “Zhang Yimou still wanted to struggle, even if he lost money, he had to make “The Great Wall” look profitable. This was related to his reputation and face.

One billion investment, many stars, and co-production with Hollywood.

He is now a first-line director in China, but he does not have much reputation internationally.

Maybe he has some voice in the film critic circle, but in the eyes of foreign audiences, he is just an unknown foreign director.

He has been seeking breakthroughs in recent years, and this project is a great opportunity.

If such a good resource is smashed in his own hands, it will have an impact on attracting investment and organizing the future.

At that time, more and more people will no longer be willing to obey his orders, and the relationship with Hollywood will also be damaged.

In the future, the name “Zhang Yimou” will have little influence.

“I’m afraid it won’t work. After all, it’s a project from above, and those people in the theater don’t dare to be blatantly partial. ”

“Okay, you go down first, I’ll be alone. ”

Zhang Yimou felt so powerless for the first time since he entered the industry, and he collapsed on the seat.

He looked unwell, and the anxiety on his face could not be concealed.

The movies he shot before also received bad reviews, but there were always some audiences who could understand his intentions and support him.

Even if he lost, this would not happen.

This time, he was fully prepared to deal with it, but was still surpassed by Cao An with a low-cost main theme movie.

“Why didn’t so many people watch the movies I shot before?”

The main theme movies he shot before, or the movies of that era, could win awards but would not be very good at the box office.

But Cao An, contrary to his usual behavior, directly killed out in a genre that everyone assumed had no commercial value.

Not only did he have a good reputation, but the box office was soaring all the way.

“What other trump cards do I have? ”

Zhang Yimou closed his eyes, rubbed his nose with a sad face, and his brain was working frantically, thinking about how to reverse the decline of his film.

Suddenly he thought of a huge difference between his film and Cao An’s film.

The genre of Cao An’s film was destined to be released only in China, while his film was an international film.

This was absolutely incomparable to Cao An.

He immediately called his assistant, “Contact the legendary people, and The Great Wall will be released earlier in the United States.”
