I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 522: One monkey, one way to tie it up (34)

On December 4th, "Red Fox Scholar" and "Wonder Woman 1984" will be released...

At this time, "The Crowd" had been released for 6 days, with a cumulative box office of 1.23 billion.

Although the box office exceeded 800 million in the first weekend, it only collected less than 500 million in four working days...

This is normal, "The Crowd" is not fun enough...

In fact, the biggest highlight of "The Crowd" should be the various life farces that happened after the two people exchanged identities.

Indeed, after Zhou Quan (Liu Dehua) returned to Chen Xiaomeng's "doghouse", he proved with practical actions that as long as he is serious, diligent, and positive, no matter how poor the conditions and how low the starting point, he can live a good life;

Chen Xiaomeng (Shen Liang) also uses a pair of good cards to beat the bad actors to pieces, showing that he is a bad actor and deserves to have a bad life.

But the movie doesn’t make this the focus!

Before the two protagonists had enough jokes, Zhou Quan regained his memory, and then the story began to take a turn for the worse!

After Zhouquan came into contact with Chen Xiaomeng, he quickly entered the stage of accepting reality and working together, with few decent conflicts and twists and turns - "bizarre stories" lacking obstacles and dangers are unconvincing.

This resulted in the huge dramatic tension in the basic setting of "The Crowd" not being effectively released at all, and the audience's emotions and feelings were not in place. It ended in a half-baked hype...

Therefore, the Douban score quickly dropped to 6.9 points...

But again, the whole movie is pretty good, at least it tells a relatively complete story.

Coupled with Shen Liang + Andy Lau, 1.28 billion in 7 days is already very good!

The total box office forecast dropped from 2.7 billion to 1.9 billion~

This result is already very good. You must know that the total cost of "The Crowd" is only 120 million, and the total investment in publicity and development is less than 30 million...

However, it did not meet theater expectations

Then, "Red Fox Scholar" and "Wonder Woman 1984" were released...

The two films took 55% of the scheduled films, and the combined box office of the two films was almost the same as "The Crowd" on its seventh day of release - both 85 million!

These two movies are terrible!

"Red Fox Scholar" is not bad, but it is mediocre in every aspect

By the way, there is also a "Monster Hunter". This movie... makes people speechless!

You clearly know that the market is mainly in China, why are you still playing 'Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these! ’ Such a bad joke?

Foreigners are all virtuous. They want to make money while forcibly defining the audience's aesthetics and stuffing private goods. I think no one can see it.

I not only want to export culture, but also want to be an uncle...

If you want to make money from Chinese people, first of all: give me a good lick!

To be honest, the Chinese audience is pretty easy to lick, and there is no need to highlight China alone.

For example, in "The Wandering Earth", the protagonist is neither the only one who thinks up a solution nor the only one who takes action. It is much easier to coax than Americans who have a strong savior plot.

That's it, and they can't even make you happy. These foreigners are either imbecile or arrogant!

In fact, we can also understand why they are so arrogant - we have "friendly troops" to defend us.

For example: Director Jia talked about the growing weakness of Hollywood movies in the Chinese market, saying: ‘We should reflect on whether China’s cultural influence and market performance are gradually losing? ’

Yes, great international directors encourage us to reflect!

It’s hard for Director Jia, he’s blind and still talking about movies…

If he hadn't been blind, he would have insisted on making so many cookie-cutter movies for so many years;

If he is not blind, what does the weak market of Hollywood movies in China have to do with our "cultural influence"?

According to this theory, Director Jia must also believe that the cultural appeal of Cannes is gradually losing - the Cannes jury praised Zhao Tao's acting skills, but they would rather give four yolks to the best actress than one to his wife!

Yue Buqun will feel ashamed if he sees a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation.

"Red scarf? Director, will this red scarf appear again in the future?"

"Did you guess it?"

"...I feel that the color of this prop is very bright, and it must have a purpose, otherwise, the director would not give a close-up shot!"

"Then what do you think this means?"

"Wan Li is in love? He is a 19-year-old boy..."

"more than!"

"Tell me about it...I'll learn from it!"

"The red scarf has a strong symbolic meaning. It does not include the relationship between men and women. Red is the color of the national flag and the meaning of the volunteers fighting outside. The little girl throwing her scarf into the car also symbolizes the eternal heart-to-heart connection between soldiers and civilians..."

"Director, you are the one!"

Shen Liang gave a thumbs up...

The little poet-reciting master was very satisfied and patted Shen Liang on the shoulder: "Go and get ready!"

"Okay!"

Shen Liang left immediately, just in time to see Wu Jing staring with disbelief on his face...

They just complained that the red scarf was too conspicuous and could easily expose the target.

Shen Liang also agreed, but when he turned around, Shen Liang started to flatter the director!

"...My dad told me that the little master is very willing to hear others praise him, but he can't praise him forcefully. He has to arouse his addiction and then praise him again!"

"So, you praised the red scarf?"

"This is my most proud idea, and it is impossible to give up..." Shen Liang smiled: "Let's get ready and start shooting!"

Wu Jing was still surprised: "No, how did you find common ground with the director?"

"One way to tie each monkey, understand his temperament, and deliberately leave him a way out when talking..."

"Haha," Wu Jing laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist: "One way to tie each monkey..."

"What's wrong? Brother, did you eat a toad?"

Wu Jing finally recovered a little and burst into laughter...

After a while, he came to his senses: "...You are too funny!"

"...No more talking, I'll go get ready..."

Shen Liang turned around and wanted to leave, but Wu Jing said: "Hey, did you ask for leave?"

"…You mean the Golden Rooster Awards?"

"Yes!"

"Two days..." Shen Liang remembered something: "Are you going?"

"The organizing committee invited me..."

"Of course, you are the first!"

"What first?"

"The first in box office!"

"…Do you want to see your box office before you speak?"

"…I forgot, anyway, let's go together tomorrow!"

Oh, Shen Liang's box office has surpassed Wu Jing...

"The Angry Case" has 2.8 billion, and "Raging Fire" has 1.7 billion...

Even if "My Hometown and Me" is not counted, Shen Liang's box office has surpassed Wu Jing.

Wu Jing said: "I watched "Raging Fire"..."

"At first, I also felt that it was unlikely to exceed 2 billion. I can only say that the market changes rapidly..."

Well, thanks to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Wonder Woman 1984" and "If the Voice Doesn't Remember" and the like...

It warmed up the market and gave the box office to "Raging Fire"...

These movies are too bad!

Many moviegoers would rather watch "Raging Fire" twice than watch these movies!

Maoyan has readjusted the box office forecast for "Raging Fire": 2.3 billion!
