I Persuade People With Reason

The entanglement between Shengshi and Star Entertainment is well known. This time the two sides are competing on the same stage, and many people in the circle are paying attention to this? There are also reporters who prepared interview drafts early and waited outside the major theaters for interviews. .

It's just that most people don't have much fantasies about "Monologue", a small-budget movie, and their main goal is "Youdu Tide".

This big-budget fantasy romance film mainly tells that the male protagonist is accidentally involved in a strange place called "Youdu" by a strange fog, and encounters a half-ghost, half-human heroine with a special status. , because of the heroine's sake, the ghost king of Youdu was provoked. After a series of thrilling plots, the heroine sacrificed her life to help the hero strengthen a wave of artifacts. In the end, the hero naturally defeated the ghost king. The traditional routine of resurrecting the heroine.

Because of the large investment, the special effects of this movie are excellent, plus the director's skill is good, the plot rhythm is tight, the process of defeating the ghost king is full of twists and turns, and it is very thrilling. It's amazing, but it can also be called excellent.

The reporter interviewed the first batch of viewers, and their evaluations were quite satisfactory.

However, as the movie began to play the second and third scenes, the audience's evaluation gradually changed. Many people shook their heads and gave a mediocre evaluation. Some people said that the plot was not exciting enough. The special effects are too fake to feel... In short, it is in stark contrast to the initial praise. Sounds like a deliberately black? The movie's navy.

Even the reporter interviewing was bewildered.

Until a young man said the truth in front of the camera: "Ah? Why don't you look good? Ah? Actually, there is no particularly poisonous plot, but it doesn't feel exciting. Maybe it's because I watch it first? The reason for "Monologue", let's look at it again? This one feels a bit less meaningful. I always feel that the special effects are a bit fake, and the ghost king is not scary at all. Anyway, I didn't feel any fluctuations in my heart during the whole process. Emmmm is probably this? Sample?"

At the end, he scratched his head in confusion.

- When this interview video is broadcast, this GIF has also been reposted by some spoof netizens, because his expression is so innocent and confusing, it looks very interesting. Even this young man didn't know how he became red out of nowhere.

However, the reporters interviewing on the spot were keenly smelling the breath of big news. It seems, probably, maybe, the movie "Monologue" is going to explode!

Because of Star Entertainment's reasons, there are only a few cinemas that overlap with Star Entertainment, and a few theaters that are deeply entangled with Star Entertainment do not have the film "Monologue" at all.

When these reporters found the theater where "Monologue" was showing, as expected, they immediately found that the attendance was astonishing. There are also many viewers who like this one mouthful and choose to replay.

Mo Qing is one of them?

When she came out of the theater center contentedly, she was immediately stopped by a reporter. She didn't panic, and started talking in front of the camera: "Why would you watch this? This movie? Of course it's because I'm a fan of Director Yan!"

After speaking for a while, she said again: "But this film is really good-looking, and aside from the fan filter, it is also a very interesting cult movie. Director Yan's rendering of the atmosphere It's amazing?! How can I put it, I can't describe it. Really, you can only feel it when you see it in person. At the time, it felt like goosebumps!"

Besides her, of course other people were also interviewed. There is no such thing as one-sided praise. There are always people who are not good at this. Even if it is a masterpiece in movie history, there are still people who don't like it.

However, in the eyes of the reporters, it is quite incredible that, whether they like it or not, everyone mentioned one point in the interview, that is, the panic atmosphere of this movie is very real, it is very infectious, and the audience It's easy to enter on your behalf, as if you were there.

Such a realistic horror rendering really scared a lot of young couples who just wanted to watch a small fresh movie - this is also one of the main reasons for some of the bad reviews.

That night, online reviews of these two films came out.

The "You Du Chao Tide" is quite satisfactory. If you like it, you can at most praise it. It's good-looking. Not surprised.

The creativity of this film itself is not amazing, but just as a great writer can write an ordinary meme very attractive, its rhythm, shots, special effects, soundtrack, etc. are not low, but the content of the plot itself Can't provoke too many waves of discussion.

If there is only this one outstanding film recently, even if the plot is routine, there will be many people discussing it. However, there was another "Monologue" with a more controversial plot in the same period, and its strength stole the C position.

Movies such as horror movies are not as widely accepted in this world as other movies, but they are not completely niche, and there are still quite a few groups who like them.

Especially in this film, there are neither ghosts, nor too **** scenes, not even the restricted level. For many audiences who like this type of film, it is simply a treasure. In a short time, they turned into tap water and went to Amway to their friends everywhere.

And the discussion about "Monologue" is even more high-rise on the relevant forum.

[Second brush, talk about your thoughts. Judging by the coincidence of the dates on the diary and the last calendar, that's what I thought, the last scene should be something like "waking up from a dream". The protagonist in the small town (emmm doesn't even have a name from beginning to end, can the director be more perfunctory?) While being devoured by monsters, in reality, he wakes up in a mental hospital.

The story that happened before was actually carried out in the inner world of the protagonist. The "town" that did not appear in the whole picture from the beginning to the end was actually the inner world of the protagonist. In the end, his sanity was devoured, and the "monster" woke up in the mental hospital.

From the beginning to the end of this movie, it should be a story about how a normal person's heart collapses to madness, right? Or the process of personality replacement? Casual analysis, everyone casually look at? Don't mess with me. You are right. ]

[Agree. The movie starts with a rainy day, followed by almost always rainy days, and the monsters that are always haunting in the dark, the human figures who fell in the yard (reminiscent of that fanatical suitor, probably made in reality? Terrible thing?)...I think this should be a reflection of the protagonist's heart on reality.

In addition, I have noticed that the two pictures under the movie lens have a particularly obvious contrast between the unreal and the real.

When shooting the house where the protagonist is located, the camera lens is very realistic, and the weird things that happen in the whole house give people a very real feeling; Towns are generally only half a corner of the wall and the like, basically not in the mirror.

Especially when the protagonist escapes from the final climax, whether it is the town residents or the background of the surrounding town, what appears in the camera is a very distorted and blurred picture, like a big living person It's the same as traveling in a strange world. Also, as the protagonist runs all the way, the road under his feet gives me a feeling that the building blocks are falling apart. I can't describe it in my language. In short, the picture is particularly absurd and weird, as if there is only that house. In this world is real, and it seems that the whole small world is twisting and collapsing, and only this house has not collapsed. Is this because the protagonist in reality is going crazy? ]

[This? Reading comprehension level is 666. Have you ever thought about another possibility? Maybe Director Yan didn't think about that much at all, considering that there is no realistic scene in the mental hospital, and there are no actors with superb acting skills, so he just made everything virtual? (dog head)? ]

[Blind student, you found Huadian. Director Yan was stunned! ]

[Speaking of the scene of the camera, I suddenly remembered that the color tone of most of the scenes in the front is very dark, and the painting style is very realistic? At that time, it gave me the illusion that the illusory reality was upside down, which was very strange, very strange. I don't know if I'm overinterpreting it? ]

[I don't know what depth is, I think the last paragraph is a complete failure! Originally, I really thought it was a horror movie before, but in the end it was a routine of "the protagonist is mentally ill, everything is an illusion". Are horror movies still available now? Can't you come? Some real ghosts and monsters? ]

[Real ghost movie? You are thinking about peaches. 404 warning (funny.jpg). ]

[The latter paragraph will not be evaluated for the time being, I have another opinion on the previous plot. Have you forgotten this? The reality corresponding to the filming? The background? The director himself just suffered from public criticism on the Internet, and was slandered and framed, and he was imprisoned in a mental hospital... What do you think of what happened to the protagonist in the movie? It's all a metaphor.

The monster is the mastermind behind all this, and the weird events that the town residents narrate have nothing to do with the protagonist, after all, we all know that the protagonist never goes out. But they just pushed all these things to the protagonist, an outsider, and finally tried to attack the protagonist under the influence of the black hand behind the scenes... According to this idea, there are too many details in the movie. , know everything :). ]

[Upstairs is the analyst leader? Full marks for reading comprehension.

Director Yan: Where is this talking little smart ghost? Come on, recruit me into the prosperous world! ]

[Tilts head. So, this is the filming and at the same time avenging an arrow, hacking the enemy? If people in the future analyze this movie, won't they drag out Zhou Yao and these people and whip the corpse over and over again? 23333 What a deep scheming! I like! ]

[I feel that everyone is a master of logic, but I am a fool. I didn't understand it from beginning to end, the only gain was that I was so scared that I lost all my popcorn and drinks, and even gave the buddies in the front row a shirt, and finally shared with my girlfriend who had just been with me for a day. hand. I really thought this was just a little fresh movie, and now I'm so scared that I'm hiding under the covers and shivering! With such a literary name, and releasing such a beautiful promotional film, the content is so terrifying, the director is a human officer? ! ]

[Hahahahaha the amount of information upstairs is a bit large. One thing to say, this movie is really scary. You can't feel it just by listening to the narration. You have to go to the scene to see it? You can feel it. There are no ghosts and no blood, and I don't know why I'm so panicked just watching? Fans of this horror movie can't stand it. ]

[Yes, yes, this? The terrifying atmosphere is really amazing! I dare say that other domestic horror film directors are far from enough in this regard, and I get goosebumps just watching it. ]

[Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, online booking seems to limit the audience with a history of heart disease and special age groups. The conductor at the entrance of the cinema also has a reminder. Am I the only one who notices this kind of detail? Horror is really scary, can't you watch it? Don't force it. ]

…

There are different opinions about what the plot of the film itself symbolizes. Some people see it purely as an exciting horror film, some people just like to constantly explore the depth of meaning, and some people think that it is too dazzling and the content itself is not interesting. The only thing that everyone can agree on is that this movie is really scary!

When there is controversy, there is heat. Before I knew it, "Monologue" was released for a week, and the box office went up all the way, with 9.3 million on the first day, 17 million on the next day, and 29 million on the third day... After a week, Exactly crossed the 300 million mark. And this? The cost of the film is very small, and almost all of it is used in post-production such as special effects soundtracks.

In comparison, the box office growth of "Netherworld" has been very fascinated. With the generous arrangement of the famous director Halo and Star Entertainment, the box office exceeded 10 million on the first day, and it was fixed at 21 million, and the next few The box office of the day was similar to that of the first day, and even dropped slightly, especially in the last three days, the box office dropped directly to about 10 million... After a week, the final box office was only 150 million!

Just look at the box office in the first week and the follow-up trend, this movie is not a big hit, at most it will recover the cost.

Such a stark contrast made people in the circle who didn't read "Monologue" well in advance startled.

It stands to reason that "Netherworld's Tide" is above the standard in all aspects. Although it will not be a big hit, it is still no problem to make a lot of money. Who would have thought that the final result would be so dismal? After analysis, many personnel finally found the problem.

Still related to "Monologue".

There are mainly only these two films worth watching in this schedule. Most of the movie fans watched it together.

It’s okay to watch “Netherworld” first, if you watch “Monologue” first, and experience the extremely real panic atmosphere, and then watch “Netherworld”, I always feel that everything is fake everywhere , even when it comes to the most exciting and exciting part of the plot, the audience is dumbfounded.

It seems that all the emotions of tension and fear have been sucked away by "Monologue", which is quite a bit "once in the sea"; The old driver in the weak period just wants to be paralyzed by salted fish.

This directly affected the online reputation of "Netherworld", and incidentally affected new audiences who haven't watched it yet.

On the one hand, word-of-mouth exploded, attracting new audiences, and old audiences. On the other hand, word-of-mouth was mediocre, unable to attract new audiences, and old audiences also felt dull... So, the box office trends of the two films? Strange gap, such a fairly good film as "The Netherworld" has been smashed into the pot.

This is a classic case of "relying on peers".

After figuring out the reason for this, for a while, people in the entire film and television industry felt a little bit of awe for Director Youdu for no reason at all.

As for the audience outside the circle, although they don't understand whether such a movie box office is a profit or a loss, but there is a double gap between the two sides, they still know who wins and who loses. It's like a person who doesn't understand football. He can't see which side is playing better, but at least he can see the pros and cons from the score.

Suddenly, Star Entertainment attracted a burst of ridicule.

—I took the initiative to raise the file and collided with others. I thought it was a general situation, but they were killed with blood, and they lost their armor and armor. Isn’t this shameful enough?

The headquarters of Star Entertainment was shrouded in a burst of low pressure. Fu Han hung up the questioning call from a shareholder again and threw the phone to the ground.

This is not the first call he has received today. Before, there were people who came to the office to have a showdown with him face to face, and all of them accused him of being self-motivated, forcibly raising the file and trying to crush Shengshi. , so that the company carefully planned a movie in the hand, although it did not lose money, but it did not make much profit, the previous investment was wasted!

And this is not the first time.

Last time, Fu Han deliberately screwed up "Deep Palace", which has already made many shareholders dissatisfied. If he hadn't paid to fill the hole, they wouldn't have let things go so easily? Ning Ren. This time, there is another moth, and the shareholders can't bear it anymore!

Some have even been outspoken in calling for him to step down.

If it weren't for the Fu family, who owns a lot of shares and is the major shareholder of Star Entertainment, Fu Han has repeatedly promised not to make the same mistake again, this matter really won't end so easily.

After the phone was dropped, Fu Hanyou was puzzled. He panted heavily, his chest heaving violently.

"Yan, Xun!"

He gritted his teeth and said this name, Fu Han's hatred for the other party soared to the extreme, but he had no choice but to be incompetent and furious.

As the saying goes, no desire is just right.

This kind of ruthless man who directly reported his own company and sent his father into the game, if he still played some secret tricks like before, it would be better if he didn't expose it, if he was caught Hold on to the handle, he will most likely be the next player to enter the game.

And openly suppressed? This time the result is already obvious.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and another bad news came.

The secretary hurried into the office: "President, Sheng Shi suddenly released a bunch of evidence online..."

These evidences are related to the black materials that were hacked by the whole network last time. In addition to hammering the logic chain of black materials to the ground, they also picked out the black materials and incited water. Behind the scenes of the army.

—This? All thanks to System 999.

On the first day of coming to this world, I ordered System 999 to do this thing, but now is the best time to throw out all the black stuff.

Sure enough, the Internet exploded directly!

System 999 shots are all real hammers. Even if Star Entertainment reacted and wanted to wash the floor, it seemed extraordinarily pale and powerless, but it was met with anger from netizens.

Including the assistant director who has no name so far and the actress who wronged the unspoken rules of the original body. After the transaction records between them and Star Entertainment were exposed, they were directly hung up on the wall by angry netizens - this stain on them I'm afraid it won't wash off for a lifetime.

And under the Weibo belonging to the original body, countless messages of apology poured in.

[Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, kowtow to Director Yan here and say sorry. Bang bang bang! (loud?) Actually, after watching the press conference before, I knew I was wrong, but I still deceived myself with no evidence, and refused to accept it. Seeing this evidence now, I'm really broken! Without further ado, let's buy ten movie tickets now and make some contribution to Director Yan! ]

[+1. Contribute to the box office as well, which is counted as an apology. ]

[Host, now all the news on the Internet is to apologize to you, it seems that your reputation has been completely reversed. 】

System 999 always pays attention to the news on the Internet, and immediately told Yuan Buwei when it found that the wind direction was reversed, with an excited and elated tone.

After all, this also has its share of credit.

"Oh." Yuan Buwei was very calm.

At this time, he was sitting in the garden of his villa basking in the sun, and by the way, he commanded Shengshi remotely through the Internet, and he was not even interested in watching the news of the so-called apology.

After all, he is not the original body, and the apology of these people will not stir up any waves in his heart. The purpose of this wave of operations is actually to increase the popularity of the movie, and by the way, to attack Star Entertainment's wave.

Unsurprisingly, at the same time that Star Entertainment was sprayed, the side of "Youdu Fan Tide", which had an uncertain future, was also tragically implicated, and received retaliatory boycotts from many people.

Holding the sweetened version of milk tea, I took a sip, but I didn't want to start contacting my universal tool secretary Jiang: "Are you ready for the new movie?"

Secretary Jiang, who was on the Internet and Star Entertainment, took a breath and said, "Everything is ready, and the venue has been found. Now there are only actors left."

He asked a little strangely: "Mr. Yan, don't be in such a hurry, right? This movie hasn't been released yet."

"No rush." ​​Yuan Buwei took another sip of milk tea slowly, "While Star Entertainment hasn't replaced Fu Han, can you contribute another wave of enthusiasm for me."

The tool man must make full use of it, but he knows how to cut wool. How could Fu Han be left like this? He was replaced so easily, without making any contribution at all?

Secretary Jiang was silent for ten seconds.

Hearing the sound of his own CEO clearly drinking milk tea on the other side of the phone, he could make up his mind about the other party's leisurely attitude. Thinking of himself working overtime with dark circles under his eyes and his hairline in danger, he almost vomited 10,000 words of MMP.

But in the end, he resisted the urge to hack someone to death, and showed a commercial smirk: "Okay, I'll help you contact the actor, do you have any requirements?"

…

After Yuan Buwei finished communicating with Secretary Jiang, Secretary Jiang suddenly made a message. A reporter from an entertainment media wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Yuan Buwei.

Yuan Buwei readily agreed: "No problem."

But Secretary Jiang was not at ease. Thinking of the original performance of the reporter at the press conference last time, and the emoticons that are still circulating on the Internet, he couldn't help but persuade politely:

"Mr. Yan, this time, remember to think about it several times before answering. It would be even better if you could promote a positive image and the news of the next movie."

He reread the words "positive and positive" again.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Secretary Jiang: "..."

No, the more you say that, the less worried I get :).

·

Not long after, Secretary Jiang saw the newly released program, and the commercial smirk on his face couldn't hold back. He found that he really didn't know enough about his own president.

- Not only can't listen to people's words, but also don't speak people's words.

He turned on his mobile phone, and as expected, the content of this episode of the show has contributed a lot to the sand sculpture netizens.

'Reporter: As a special cult film, how does Director Yan look at the great success of this "Monologue", do you have any secrets to share with you?

The original is not: the success of the film is inseparable from the support of the audience. The excellent performance of the protagonist is also an indispensable part, and as a director, I only played a normal level. ’

[The front of 2333 is quite normal, it sounds quite modest. But I changed my mind and thought, isn't the protagonist you yourself? How can you actually praise yourself in such a different way? Really long? Experienced. ]

[Ji Cao, no six, all sit down, where are you going? ]

'reporter:? Haha, Director Yan is really humorous and has a very special idea. Maybe that's why you can make such a special film as "Monologue". Now everyone is saying this? The panic atmosphere of the movie is unbelievable. Several big directors are not as good as themselves. Are you particularly talented in this regard?

Originally Answered: Have you ever asked why candy is so sweet? Is it because it is exceptionally gifted at this?

reporter:? ? ? Of course, the candy has to be made and processed first... Oh, what Director Yan means is that you also carved it out the day after tomorrow. It seems that Lai Yanwei is euphemistically telling everyone that acquired effort is far better than innate talent, which is really motivating.

Originally: No, do you think anything can be processed into candy? The truth is that I have talent.

Reporter: ... (face blank for a full? second)

Originally: About this point, when you watch my next movie, you will have a more in-depth experience. ’

[…feels connoted, so I just can’t be made into candy waste? ]

[Appeared! Yan Dao's wonderful metaphor! ]

[I just realized that this is actually a promotion for a new movie? ]

…

First, after the whole show, the reporter got stuck several times in the middle of the show, and looking at his expression, it was obvious that he wanted to kick Yuan Buwei off the stage. And the audience watching the show is a piece of hahaha, the barrage is very happy.

On the side of Shengshi, looking at Secretary Jiang's complaining and accusing eyes, he was innocent and dazed.

...is this? not positive enough? Not only is it positive, but the next movie is also well-promoted! It perfectly meets Secretary Jiang's requirements.

not to mention…

"I'll tell the truth after thinking hard about it."

- This almost instinctive stimulation and capture of the fear of all beings is the most profound imprint of his soul carved out by the outside world.

That is something that even the most talented director among these mortals cannot do if they spend their entire lives.
