From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

When the "virtual box office" of 600 spectators was released, Li Wenfeng's "The Tuner" naturally had the highest "box office" after 6 shows, and an average rating of 9.6, both in terms of "box office" and

"Word of mouth" has a double harvest.

Among them, the number of moviegoers was as high as 312, accounting for more than half of the moviegoers.

According to the rule of "Let's Shoot, Director", one number of moviegoers is counted as a box office of 10,000, "The Tuner" can be regarded as using an investment capital of 800,000 to achieve a super high return of 3.12 million in box office, which has tripled.

It is worth mentioning that in the first round of the film critic group composed of major film critics, "The Tuner" ranked second to last among the six films with a score of 5.8 points.

Those film critics didn't give "The Tuner" too high evaluations, they were all "no breakthroughs", "Li Wenfeng was limited to "Peeping" and "The Hidden Corner", "too deliberate reversal"

etc.

On the contrary, the artistic short film they recommended as the "Best Highly Recommended Film" won unanimous praise from film critics and received a score of 8.7.

As a result, the performance in the screening room fell to the bottom.

It was praised so highly by the so-called film critics, some called it a "masterpiece", some gave it a perfect score of 10, and some called it the "Bresson of China". Investment

700,000, but in the end it only received 320,000 at the box office.

In other words, out of 600 spectators, only 32 walked into the screening room of that literary film.

This wave undoubtedly severely slapped the faces of the "film critics" invited by the program team.

Why else would someone say that "film critics sometimes work against the audience"?

This is evident.

This exaggerated crushing ratio is certainly related to the fact that "The Tuner" stars Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong, a pair of popular CPs.

After all, this is a true simulation of the situation that a real movie will encounter after it is released.

Stars with box office appeal will have better results than those without stars. There is nothing fair or unfair.

However, it is obvious that the short film "The Tuner" hit the "G-spot" of most viewers, which is the biggest reason for this film's crushing victory.

On the other hand, the fact that Ding Zhi is the "mysterious guest" of the new variety show "Let's Start Shooting, Director" has been basically dismissed on the Internet and is no longer "mysterious".

This aspect is naturally related to the group of moviegoers.

In addition to signing a confidentiality agreement regarding the "match results", the program team has no confidentiality requirements for the "mysterious guest".

Therefore, the word-of-mouth of the 600-person movie viewing group spread, and the news was more or less leaked on all major social media.

This is actually not difficult to understand. After all, this is a gimmick, not a secret that must be kept secret.

Stunts are used to build momentum, and this kind of "revealing" publicity is harmless. After all, the program team plans to officially use this as the preview and selling point of the latest issue.

The short film "The Tuner" is an extreme example of a low-scoring film by critics but a good harvest at the box office and word-of-mouth. It has undoubtedly added a lot of topics and hot spots to the latest episode of the program.

Therefore, many people have discussed this on the Internet.

——"I heard that Ding Zhi will join in the second phase! If it's true, I'm really looking forward to it, so to speak!"

——"A friend of mine was selected to be an audience member of that variety show some time ago. She confirmed that Ding Zhi indeed participated in one of the short films, but unfortunately she did not meet Ding Zhi!"

——"Why do I feel that Ding Zhi has appeared in variety shows frequently recently? I see too many hot searches, which makes me a little annoyed. There is too much marketing!"

——"I think he went to be a guest on the flight. It is said that he was not at the recording site. He just shot one of the short films! Besides, he has participated in a total of two variety shows in the past few years. Other artists as popular as him are not.

Do you know how much money you make from participating in variety shows!"

——"Actually, this variety show is quite interesting. It tells the director's series of processes from finding actors to raising investment and then making a movie. It feels quite novel."

——"No feeling. But with Ding Zhi here, we can look forward to something."

I have to say that associating Ding Zhi with "Let's Start Shooting, Director" has indeed brought a lot more discussion to this variety show, which was somewhat lukewarm after its premiere.

In fact, to some extent, this variety show can be regarded as an ambitious work of Peach TV in the field of self-produced variety shows. It is estimated that Chen Ke wanted to reproduce the popularity of actor competition reality shows in previous years.

So, both in terms of investment and competition system, they are actually very careful.

But it is estimated that this type of competitive variety show has appeared too frequently in recent years. "Let's Shoot Director" has not gotten rid of the inherent routine of competitive reality shows, although it is still sincere in all aspects.

But in the final analysis, there is no explosive point. Therefore, the response after the premiere was not too ideal.

And the most important thing is that audiences who are spoiled by major variety shows sometimes have really hard to control their tastes.

It's like a "travel variety show" called "Flowers and Boys" that Ding Zhi was invited to but was rejected in the end. It has already filmed its third season.

The most criticized thing in the first two seasons of this show is that the "Qiongyou" tour group composed of celebrities is "full of factions". The celebrity guests form small groups, run against each other, scheming, and the character collapses, which arouses heated ridicule from netizens.

There is simply one wave after another, and every time it becomes a hot search topic, there is even a "flower school" sect.

However, the more it is torn apart, the more intense it becomes.

But in the third season, that is, the season in which the invitation to Ding Zhi failed, there was rare harmony, quiet times, and the highest ratings. As a result, the ratings of that season suffered miserably, and the program was eventually canceled.

There is a derogatory term called "grandstanding".

But it seems that sometimes, "grandstanding" can really "win people".

Therefore, it cannot be completely blamed on those variety show producers who like to play tricks.

Of course, this does not mean that the show "Let's Shoot Director" is so "innocent". In fact, the "PY deal" between Chen Ke and Ding Zhi, in which Li Wenfeng failed to compete for the actor at the beginning, is actually similar to

Based on the reverse bridge section design.

After the launch of the second episode, the playback volume displayed in the backend of Peach TV can be said to have increased significantly.

However, compared to the variety show "Let's Shoot Director" which has added a lot of popularity, "The Tuner", its spin-off short film, has completely exploded in a way that people did not expect.

It started from the short video platform.

The total duration of "The Tuner" is less than 14 minutes, so when some people move this segment to a short video platform, it is actually more appropriate.

In just half a day, this short video exceeded one million views.

Its ranking in the short video platform’s hot list soared rapidly.

Then after fermentation for a period of time, it started to be posted on Xiaopo Station again, and the popularity on Weibo began to soar.

The plot of "The Tuner" is exquisitely conceived, with reasonable and unexpected plot twists, the popularity of Ding Zhi's own blessing, plus the wonderful coincidence that he and Zou Yutong once again formed the "Underworld CP", etc.

This short film directly aroused widespread discussion on all major platforms.

The first ones to explode were the CP fans of Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong.

——"Damn it! I started this show with the idea of ​​eating sweets, but my scalp went numb after watching it!"

——"Yes! Who would have thought that one second I was intoxicated by the sweetness of Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong's couple, and the next second I broke my guard! Zou Zou, where did your nail gun hit Ding Zhi?

The back of your neck, you have driven an iron nail into the hearts of us CP members!"

——"Ah!!! Don't you think it's more exciting! I love you enough to kill you! "Underworld CP" yyds!!!"

——"A popular science knowledge. Ding Zhi's Zou Yutong had a couple in "Peeping" two years ago. The perverted murderer at that time was Ding Zhi. Now "The Tuner" can be said to be the other way around. It can be said that it is the other way around.

Good and evil will always be rewarded. Look up and see who God will spare! Hahahahaha!"

——"Ah ah ah! Knock, bump, bump! Ding Zhi and Zou Zou's past and present lives! You ruined my family in the past life, and I will kill you in the next life! Then the third life will be sweet and sweet.

Halfway through the story, Zou Zou suffered from Alzheimer's disease and violently tortured Ding Zhi! When will there be a truly sweet love story in Sidu!"

There is even a small website UP owner that even Juan’s mother doesn’t recognize. Using the film and television dramas where Ding Zhi and Miss Zou have intersected these three times as material, he really cut out a story about three lives and three lives, and the plot is even quite natural.

It's so consistent that sometimes even the lip-syncs of the dubbing lines match.

It's also a bullshit.

Ignoring Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong, CP fans who can knock everything off, in fact what really makes "The Tuner" which is less than 14 minutes short, is the story itself.

——"It's so awesome! I feel that director Li Wenfeng is really making progress every time, from "Peeping", to "The Hidden Corner", and now to "The Tuner", Ding Zhi and Li Wenfeng's golden pair

The partners are really getting closer and closer to each other!"

——"So is Ding Zhi dead? I keep listening to the 'click' sound in the opening of the film. Is it the sound of the piano closing or the sound of the nailing machine firing?"

——"It's good to watch, but after reading it, I realized that the plot is actually a bit nonsensical. In fact, why can a strong man with sound eyes not be able to defeat a weak woman with no strength? I insist on waiting.

If someone is standing behind you with a nail gun, there is no way to retreat."

Similarly, when this short film became popular, many details were discussed by many people. The most discussed point was that the sound engineer played by Ding Zhi clearly had so many opportunities to resist, even if he took off his clothes.

It wasn't a problem to run out at that time, so why did I end up in a situation where my life was at risk?

However, if you have questions, there are answers. More people have found the answers from many details and foreshadowings. Compared with the somewhat highbrow and cheerful aesthetics of the film critics of "Let's Shoot, Director", there are actually many wild film critics.

Experts’ interpretation of “The Tuner” is more interesting.

——"Actually, the answer is given at the beginning of the film. The tuner is actually a very cowardly person at heart. He said at the beginning that he was nervous and lost the game, which is actually a sign of cowardice and poor psychological quality.

In such an emergency situation, people show their inner character. All pretense of legal principles and principles is gone, and only their inherent character is at play.

So when faced with the opportunity to escape, his mind went blank rather than analyzing the situation rationally.

Timid people are more afraid of the unknown and prefer to maintain a stable status quo.”

——“This is a high-quality short film that needs to be watched at least three times.

Browse it once or twice to reflect on the overall situation and think deeply about it.

I haven't actually seen many suspense movies, but I think that the short and concise "The Tuner" is definitely a superior film in terms of both technical aspects and story structure.

The condensed 13 minutes can be said to show all kinds of things in the world.

There are many possibilities in life. A failed pianist may be a successful tuner. Human beings wearing masks can be completely trustworthy and let down their guard in front of weak people who are not threatening. We do all kinds of tricks to deceive others but think that we are not.

clever.

The plot is set up at the beginning of the film. The old man with dull eyes, the piano player in underpants, and the dark man with only an outline are connected together by the sound of the piano, and he is confused and confused as to why.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and it was unclear whether the final sound was the sound of a gunshot or the sound of a door closing.

This is the best part, because the ending is not important, what is important is your judgment.

As a side note, don’t get too caught up in the drama. The more temptations there are, the more courage you have to reflect on yourself and know when enough is enough. If you think you are always right, the gun may go off in the next second.”

Similarly, there are also those who call for the acting skills of Ding Zhi and Zou Yutong.

——"For the first time, I felt that a beautiful person like Zou Yutong could have such strong oppressive power! When she took off Ding Zhi's sunglasses, especially when she was standing behind Ding Zhi with a nail gun.

When I was there, I felt so cold all over my body!”

——"You can always believe in Ding Zhi's acting skills! After watching it, I suddenly realized, holy crap! That's not right! With Ding Zhi's fighting power, is there any need to be afraid of a weak woman like Zou Yutong? Damn, take off your clothes and reveal that

A body full of tendon meat, one punch for Zou Yutong, okay?"

——"The magic lies in this place. When I saw the role of Ding Zhi, I realized that this guy (sound engineer) is really weak! It was only after watching it that I realized that Ding Zhi obviously cannot be such a weakling, but

But when I was watching, I didn’t react at all!”

...

...

In this way, it can be said that those who are addicted to CP, those who appreciate acting skills, those who appreciate stories, and those who are addicted to the metaphors and reversals of suspense films can all find what they want in "The Tuner".

It seems reasonable that this short film will be a hit.

The ensuing effect was naturally to indirectly increase the popularity of "Let's Shoot, Director", and it was considered a hit.

However, what made Ding Zhi even more unexpected was that because of this film, he was approached again.

"What? The Tuner? A feature film?"

Chen Ke's words really made him a little confused.

"Yes, Taobao Pictures intends to invest in the short film "The Tuner" and extend it into a feature film!"
