Huayu started by giving the system to female stars

Chapter 179 178. Wei Wu is so evil, he should stay away from him in the future.

"Has it exceeded 100 million?"

Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said: "No, there is still 1.8 million to go. I was planning to hold a press conference on National Day to promote "The Night Banquet" to break 100 million.

"But now I'm afraid it will have to be postponed for two days! And even if there is a press conference, the publicity effect will be greatly reduced.

"After all, "Silver Driver" and "Baby Project" are very popular now! Our "Night Banquet" is no longer popular and has become a fallen leaf in the west wind!"

Xu Fan couldn't help frowning and complaining: "If you want to blame it, blame Wu Yusen for not living up to expectations!

"You said he had nothing to do and why did he provoke Wei Wu? He couldn't do it, and he humiliated himself and helped Wei Wu gain fame and attention in vain.

"If he hadn't caused these things, how could "Silver Driver" have such a high level of attention now?"

Feng Xiaogang sighed and said: "Who says it's not! Don't forget there is also "Baby Project".

"As soon as they come, our film schedule will be cut off, and now only 16% is left.

"And I heard that the cuts will continue tomorrow, and they may have to be cut directly below 12%."

In fact, Feng Xiaogang's words are a bit evasive!

The reason why his "Night Banquet" film schedule was so severely reduced was not entirely due to external factors, but also to internal factors.

Specifically, the reputation of "The Night Banquet" declined too quickly, and then the box office trend fell too hard!

Attendance rates continue to decline, resulting in lower profits for movie theaters, which naturally have to be cut to make room for new films.

Otherwise, the theater chain wouldn't be so disrespectful to Director Feng. "

Feng Xiaogang's "The Night Banquet" was released on September 15, with a box office of 12 million on the first day, and a total of 55 million in the first weekend of 3 and a half days (advance screening on Thursday).

To be honest, it is not surprising that such an outstanding opening result can be achieved.

After all, Feng Xiaogang is also one of the top three mainland directors alongside Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige!

Moreover, this "Night Banquet" is also a standard blockbuster, with an investment of 120 million, and the leading actors are all A-list celebrities.

The first-day box office of "The Promise" was 21.15 million. Feng Xiaogang's money is 10 million less than Chen Kaige's, which is actually below the standard!

Normally, based on this opening result, the final box office of "The Banquet" should be around 165 million.

However, in its previous life, its final box office was only 130 million. So how could this happen?

The reason is not difficult to guess. Just like "The Promise", its reputation has collapsed! Therefore, the box office trend is far worse than normal!

The Douban score of "The Promise" is 5.5, while the score of "The Banquet" is 6.0.

Although "The Night Banquet" is indeed slightly stronger, it is only too strong. Basically, it is the level of laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps.

"The Promise" was criticized like that, so it's easy to imagine that "The Banquet" wasn't much better.

It’s not a particularly unpleasant criticism, that’s how everyone generally evaluates it:

Same thing as "The Promise".

hiss! The lethality of this evaluation is so terrifying!

After all, no one wants to fall into the same pit twice. The audience can't fall for it twice in two consecutive years. They are all the same, right?

Because of this comment, the audience's desire to buy tickets for "The Banquet" has been greatly reduced. As a result, the subsequent box office trend of this movie is exactly the same as that of "The Promise".

But even so, Feng Xiaogang's accumulation over the years cannot be overshadowed.

This movie in the previous life ended up with a box office of 130 million, firmly winning the annual box office runner-up.

In fact, during this time period, if Zhang Chenfeng is basically making blockbusters, the box office cannot be bad.

Not to mention locking in the annual championship in advance, it can basically ensure that they will not fall out of the top three.

Because of this, so many people take a high look at "Painted Skin" and even think that it has locked in the box office championship next year in advance.

This is the current craze for blockbusters, and this is the charm of blockbusters!

Xu Fan also sighed, rubbed his temples and said:

"It's also my fault that we didn't check the almanac when we went out. How could we have chosen September 15th, which was so far away, that Wei Wu and Jackie Chan could still take advantage of us!

"Oh, what a twist of fate! How often do they make movies now?"

Feng Xiaogang pondered and said: ""Silver Driver" is about 37%, and "Baby Project" is about 32%."

Xu Fan took a breath: "Is Wei Wu's price so high? "Baby Project" also had a production cost of over 100 million, and Jackie Chan and Louis Koo starred in it. Is it so much higher than "Silver Driver"?"

Feng Xiaogang curled his lips and sneered: "Then why don't you thank our Director Wu!

Originally, before this, the arrangement of their films was reversed. Maybe "Baby Project" is 36-7%, and then "Silver Driver" is up to 30%.

"But because of what our director Wu did, the attention on "Silver Driver" has exploded, so naturally the theater chain will follow suit!

"I can only say that thanks to "Silver Driver" it is not a blockbuster. If it were a blockbuster, then we really wouldn't have anything to play with!"

Xu Fan nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, if "Silver Driver" was a blockbuster, wouldn't it just go for the first-day box office record of "The Promise"?

"Well, the first-day box office of "Silver Driver" has been released, right?"

Feng Xiaogang nodded: "Well, yesterday's premiere was 12.6 million, the screening the day before yesterday was 1.4 million, and the total box office was 14 million."

Xu Fan took a deep breath again: "Yesterday was a working day, and the premiere box office was higher than our "Night Banquet"? "

Feng Xiaogang nodded with a heavy heart: "Well, today is the first day of the National Day holiday, and this movie has a very good reputation. I'm afraid today's box office will be close to 20 million.

"After all, the National Day period is only for these 7 days. Basically, 70 to 80 percent of the box office is concentrated in these short 7 days. So relatively speaking, the single-day box office will naturally be slightly higher. "

Xu Fan sighed and said: "Then this movie will definitely break 100 million. In this way, Wei Wu will have two movies that have broken 100 million this year! This is too fierce!

"Hey, do you think the box office of his "Silver Driver" will not exceed our "Night Banquet"? "

Feng Xiaogang was silent for a while, and said solemnly:

"If you said this a month ago, I would say you are worrying too much. How is it possible?

"Could it be that with more than 100 million investment on my side, Ge Youzhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun, can't beat the unknown Huang Bo on the opposite side? Are you kidding?

"But if you ask me now, I can only say I don't know!"

Xu Fan said sourly: "Wei Wu is still smart! He must have chosen this time to have a verbal battle with Wu Yusen.

"After all, whether he wins or loses, he has earned this wave of popularity, which can be immediately reflected in the box office of the new film!

"But I guess even he didn't expect that he would win this battle so easily.

"Maybe at the beginning, he just wanted to make trouble to gain some attention, but he didn't expect that things would turn out like this in the end!"

Feng Xiaogang sighed and said faintly: "So you have to believe in fate! I have to say that I didn't really believe that someone was blessed by heaven before.

"But the appearance of Wei Wu made me believe it! It turns out that there are really people in this world who are so lucky and favored by fate.

"When the time comes, the heaven and the earth will work together, it turns out that it is not just a casual talk.

"There is Chen Kaige in front and Wu Yusen in the back. These people obviously had nothing to do with Wei Wu before, but they always managed to help him at the critical moment by accident!

"His luck is unparalleled! This man is too evil! We have to stay away from him in the future!

"After all, we haven't even started to fight him yet, and he has already injured us by mistake!"

Xu Fan nodded seriously: "Yes, this man is on the rise now. It is not appropriate to confront him at this time, otherwise it will definitely not end well.

"What's more, this man is young and hot-tempered and will take revenge. Even if we can beat him once, what's the matter? Can we beat him for the rest of our lives? So it's better to give in!"

Just then Xu Fan found that her husband, who had been gloomy today, suddenly smiled, and asked curiously:

"What are you laughing at? "

Feng Xiaogang didn't keep the secret and said it directly:

"Well, someone told me something today that I found very funny. Do you know? Zhang Weiping is asking around about the filming progress of "Painted Skin"? "

Xu Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Ah? Why is he asking about this?"

Feng Xiaogang immediately raised his mouth and said: "Why else? He must be afraid of Wei Wu.

So he wants to get some information first to see if Wei Wu will put "Painted Skin" in this year's Lunar New Year period to compete with "Curse of the Golden Flower"? "

Xu Fan said in surprise: "Ah, then he must have thought too much, right? Although Wei Wu is a little crazy, he is not stupid, can he do this?"

Feng Xiaogang shrugged and said: "Most people can't do it, but there is nothing that Wei Wu dare not do!

"At the beginning, he was not famous at all, but he dared to schedule his new film to be released on the same day as Zhang Yimou. Not to mention now!

"Although "Painted Skin" is definitely not a rival of "Curse of the Golden Flower", it is definitely not as big as the gap between "Lost on Journey" and "A Thousand Miles Alone" at that time, right?"

The time that Feng Xiaogang refers to here is of course before the "Mantou" video went viral.

After all, Wei Wu had already scheduled "Lost on Journey" on that day a few months before the "Mantou" video came out.

Xu Fan said thoughtfully: "Hey, you don't say. After listening to your analysis, I think Zhang Weiping is not really worrying too much.

"This kind of thing, maybe Wei Wu can really do it!

"The main thing is that the movie "Painted Skin" was not invested by his company, even if the box office lost.

"It's not shameful to lose to "Curse of the Golden Flower", and it's not a big deal for him.

"Anyway, he wins a lot if he wins, and he doesn't lose if he loses. Then he might really have such thoughts. "

Feng Xiaogang smiled slightly and said firmly:

"Even if he has such an idea, it is useless. Han Sanping will definitely not agree. "

Xu Fan couldn't help but retort: ​​"Why? Hasn't Han Sanping always disliked Zhang Yimou's attitude of following orders but not propaganda?

"If there is a chance to teach him a lesson, why doesn't he go with the flow?"

Feng Xiaogang shook his head again and said: "You, you still think things are too simple!

"Han Sanping is a leader after all, and you also know that Zhang Yimou has been designated as the chief director of the Olympics.

"The Olympics are coming soon. Is it reasonable for you to indulge Wei Wu and make Zhang Yimou look bad at this time? What will the superiors think?

"Even if Wei Wu can't win, as long as there is such a risk, as a leader, it must be completely avoided!

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one!

"Even if Han Sanping really wants to make things difficult for Zhang Yimou, it won't be now. Wait until the Olympics are over. Are you still afraid that there will be no chance to deal with him?"

Xu Fan said with some disappointment: "What a pity. I originally wanted to see Wei Wu and Zhang Yimou start a second battle, and it would be best if both sides were defeated!

"With Wei Wu's current fierce momentum, even if he can't win, he will definitely be able to tear a piece of meat off "The Golden Armor"."

Feng Xiaogang laughed dumbly and said: "It's time now, and you still want to laugh at others?

"Little do you know that Zhang Yimou may still be at home, leisurely watching us laugh at us!

"Wei Wu should not have a chance to bite a piece of meat off Zhang Yimou, but we will definitely be bitten by him!"

Xu Fan: "..."
