My movie scared the global audience to tears

The reputation of "Prehistoric Crocodile" has indeed collapsed, which can be seen from the box office.

Before the movie was released, the pre-sale box office alone was more than 90 million, almost exceeding 100 million.

The box office on the first day also exceeded 300 million, directly winning the box office championship of the period.

But on the second day, the box office dropped directly to 170 million yuan, on the third day, it was 120 million yuan, and on the fourth day, the box office dropped directly to the 100 million yuan mark, leaving only 87 million yuan.

At the same time, negative reviews about "Prehistoric Crocodile" also appeared overwhelmingly on the Internet.

Most people feel that this movie is a very insincere work, too cliche, old wine in new bottles, and it is just a bad movie.

Many people also took this as an excuse to target Song Qi, accusing him of using up his talent and deceiving the audience.

But some smarter netizens have vaguely felt that something is wrong here.

In terms of movie quality, even if "Prehistoric Crocodile" is not as good as Song Qi's other movies, it is still much better than other movies of the same period. Why is the online public opinion grabbing "Prehistoric Crocodile" to criticize it?

Moreover, this movie was obviously produced by Song Qi, and the real director was someone else. But why is the public opinion directed at Song Qi?

The most important thing is, why do posts and comments criticizing Song Qi get a lot of likes and comments, while serious comments about movies are drowned in the flood of comments from netizens?

The reason is self-evident.

On the fifth day, director Yang Lin suddenly posted a work photo on his personal Weibo. In the background was a young man working at his work station. Yang Lin captioned the picture: "The young brothers in the post-production studio work really hard.

, add chicken drumsticks tonight!”

It was just such a Weibo, but it went directly to the hot search list, and received hundreds of thousands of retweets, likes and comments.

Netizens left messages below, asking about the post-production progress of "Blood Bat" and trying to find out information about the movie from my brother's computer screen. The discussions were very lively.

The past six months have been the period of time when Yang Lin has received the most attention.

Since his shocking bet with Song Qi, his reputation has risen to a higher level again.

However, this is not because of his extraordinary charm, but because Eternal Pictures is sparing no effort to use all publicity capabilities to build momentum for him and pave the way for "Blood Bat".

Since that bet agreement, Eternal Pictures has never stopped marketing and promoting "Blood Bat".

Yang Lin has a whole professional publicity team behind him to help him operate.

Under the arrangements of the team, the topic of "Blood Bat" has always maintained a high level of popularity, and some relevant trivial news will be exposed every now and then, making its presence felt in front of netizens.

This attracted a lot of attention and traffic to "Blood Bat", and Yang Lin became a reservoir for this traffic, adding nearly 20 million fans in just six months.

While "Prehistoric Crocodile" suffered a collapse in word-of-mouth and box office, and experienced highs and lows, Yang Lin once again won a surge in fans.

People do change. When he was just pushed out and bet with Song Qi, Yang Lin had no confidence in the bet and felt very uneasy.

But as the strong support from all aspects of Eternal Pictures gradually came into place, he gradually became more and more confident.

For his movie, Eternal Pictures spared no expense.

The cast alone is unprecedentedly powerful.

There are five people in the protagonist group, and the company directly came forward to help him hire four movie stars, and the heroine also hired a well-known movie queen who is currently popular.

The salary for this cast alone is already over 500 million.

During the official filming process of the movie, Eternal Pictures' support for the movie was all-round and non-stop. They gave Yang Lin money and people, and they responded to Yang Lin's requests. He was even more caring than his own son.

Eternal Pictures has only one requirement for Yang Lin, and that is to win this bet.

The company's strong support, continued attention, and substantial popularity growth have given Yang Lin unprecedented confidence.

He has determined that he will not lose this bet!

If he could still lose under the favorable circumstances of the time, place, and people, he might as well quit the circle and stop messing around!

As time went by, the reputation of "Prehistoric Crocodile" began to gradually recover.

Although there is overwhelming slander on the Internet, the true content quality of the movie cannot be concealed.

Even if this movie cannot be called a masterpiece, it can still be regarded as a monster movie above the standard.

And with the blessing of Miracle's unique 4D viewing technology, the viewing effect of "Prehistoric Crocodile" is still second to none among all movies of the same period.

As word-of-mouth gradually picked up, the movie's box office also began to pick up.

It's just that the movie's early reputation dropped severely, causing it to miss the box office explosion period. Even if the movie's reputation picks up, the box office won't be able to return to its original level.

After a month's release, the final box office of "Prehistoric Crocodile" stayed at 1.07 billion, almost breaking the billion mark.

This box office is considered a good result for a movie with a total investment of less than 200 million. At least the investment has been recouped and a profit of 200 to 300 million can be made.

But compared to Song Qi's previous movies, this box office is no different from being a hit on the street.

Xiao Ma felt very guilty about this, thinking that he had ruined Song Qi's sign, and even called Song Qi to apologize.

But Song Qi doesn't care about these so-called false reputations. As long as commercial films make money, they win. They don't lose money, they just make a little less. What's the point of losing their brand name?

However, Song Qi is indeed a little tired of Eternal Pictures' repeated troubles.

He silently speeded up the shooting. The best way to deal with Eternal Pictures was to win the bet and let it spit out everything it had eaten.

As time enters October, the filming of the crew has entered the most intense stage.

On the one hand, because the filming of group scenes are all piled up during this time period, it is more difficult to shoot.

On the other hand, it was because the weather on Miracle Island began to deteriorate and the rainfall increased sharply.

The construction team of the first phase of the Dinosaur Park project has set a stop date for mid-to-late November, which means that the crew must complete the project before then at the latest.

However, this time is relatively loose for the crew. According to Song Qi's shooting plan, the crew can finish all the scenes in early November.

On November 7th, three days ahead of Song Qi's scheduled filming completion date, "King Kong: Skull Island" finished filming all the scenes and officially wrapped up.

There was no celebration ceremony, and everyone on the crew couldn't wait to leave Miracle Island and return to the coastal province.

Everyone has had enough of living in tents and having enough of being woken up by mosquito bites at night.

Setting foot on land again, everyone was as excited as if they had returned from primitive society to the modern world.

Taking the hungry crew members back to the Mossad manor, Song Qi and the crew members held a closing banquet in the manor for three days.

After three days of soaking in the most luxurious bathhouse in Kailuo City, Song Qi finally came back to life.

However, the enjoyment was only temporary. After a few days of rest, Song Qi returned to China.

There are still three months until next year's Spring Festival, and it's time to start promoting "King Kong: Skull Island".

However, with Song Qi's current popularity, the effect of previous word-of-mouth marketing is no longer obvious.

Therefore, this time, he will promote "King Kong: Skull Island" in a different way.
