Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

When several people from Xinyi City were discussing scripts together, they inevitably talked about the play "Untouchable Lovers".

In the eyes of several of their professionals, the drama "Unreachable Lovers" was really well shot.

However, when the box office of "Unreachable Lovers" dropped to 3 million the next day, people inevitably worried about the future trend of this drama.

"Is there really anything wrong with the drama "Unreachable Lovers"? I couldn't help but watch it three times, and I still got more and more every time."

Although Mai Jia attended the premiere, he still bought tickets to support it later and also wanted to study more about the plot of "Unreachable Lovers".

In his opinion, the plot of the drama "Unreachable Lovers" is really great, and the special effects are also on point, but it is not a big hit, which is really thought-provoking.

"As a literary and artistic film, "Untouchable Lovers" is indeed a very good film, but after all, the audience who likes literary and artistic films is in the minority."

Tsui Hark has also seen this play, and he thinks it is good, but from his perspective, he can only say that Lin Daoqiu chose the wrong subject.

Spending 40 million to shoot "Unreachable Lovers" was a mistake in itself. If only a few million had been invested in this movie, I'm afraid it would have been praised by now.

But the problem is that Lin Daoqiu announced on the show that the budget of this drama is 40 million, which undoubtedly raised everyone's expectations for this drama to another level.

And there are indeed many people who bought tickets to watch the show with a huge investment of 40 million.

It's just that the special effects, which they invested 40 million yuan in, are not as powerful as they expected. They just think it's good, but they won't be scared.

After all, almost everyone has been baptized by the movie "Godzilla" before. Now that they see the special effects produced with millions of dollars, they naturally won't have the same shocking thoughts as before.

Moreover, special effects scenes in movies are not clearly priced, such as how much this part cost and how much that shot cost.

Therefore, when expectations are raised to a higher level, but the results do not exceed their expectations, but only achieve what they expected, the praise rate will naturally not be too high.

"Actually, "Untouchable Lovers" is already very impressive. It set a new box office record for literary and artistic films on the first day it was released. Its current box office performance has surpassed most of the literary and artistic films. I don't think Mr. Lin has failed this time.

of."

Although they all work under Lin Daoqiu, if you put aside this identity and look at it from the perspective of an independent filmmaker, "Unreachable Lovers" is excellent in every aspect.

"What's the use of talking about this? If the box office is less than 30 million and only about 20 million, I'm afraid many people will still say that Mr. Lin failed this time."

…………

After get off work, Lin Daoqiu came to Zhong Chuhong's villa. As soon as he opened the door, Lin Daoqiu found a pile of newspapers and magazines on the living room.

At a casual glance, you can see that it is full of topical news about yourself. Of course, most of what is written above is not good.

"When did you come back?"

Zhong Chuhong came downstairs and saw Lin Daoqiu standing in the living room.

"We just opened the door. It's getting late. Please change your clothes and let's go out to eat."

Lin Daoqiu said nothing, nor did he mention the newspapers on the table.

But when Zhong Chuhong heard Lin Daoqiu asking her to change clothes and go out to eat, she shook her head.

"I don't have much appetite today, so I won't go out to eat. I'll just make bread noodles later."

Zhong Chuhong seems to be in a bad mood, because today's box office of "Untouchable Lovers" has dropped to 2.6 million.

It only took three days to go from the initial 3.8 million to 2.6 million.

If this situation continues, the box office of "Unreachable Lovers" will basically not reach 30 million in the end, and will probably hover between more than 20 million.

If it had been a movie made by another director, I'm afraid they would have already been preparing for a celebration party by now.

But this movie is written and directed by Lin Daoqiu. You must know that among the movies he has made over the years, he has never made more than 30 million.

As the heroine of this drama, Zhong Chuhong feels that the poor box office has a lot to do with her, which makes her in the mood to go out for dinner.

"Fool, don't think so wildly. The box office of this drama is actually very good."

Lin Daoqiu walked over and hugged Zhong Chuhong into his arms, then comforted her softly.

But Zhong Chuhong obviously couldn't listen to Lin Daoqiu's comfort, but she rested her head on his shoulder.

"You don't need to comfort me. With such a huge investment, this drama won't sell well at the box office in Hong Kong. It will definitely be even more difficult to sell it in Hong Kong."

Zhong Chuhong blames herself very much. She has been an actress for more than a day or two. She knows very well that if the movie can get a good box office in Hong Kong, it will naturally make more money when it is sold in Hong Kong.

But on the other hand, if it fails to get a good box office in Hong Kong, it will be almost impossible to make a big profit by selling it out of Hong Kong.

"I didn't expect our little Honghong to know so much."

Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and when Zhong Chuhong was offended, he gave him a straight look.

"It's been so long and you can still laugh. I know you are very rich. It doesn't matter if you lose tens of millions, but...but I can't accept it."

Although Zhong Chuhong never thought that every movie she made would be a hit, but for a movie like this that suddenly lost tens of millions, it was definitely impossible for her to say that she had no ideas.

Not to mention that it was because of her relationship that Lin Daoqiu decided to film this drama.

Now that the movie is losing money, Zhong Chuhong naturally feels uncomfortable. She feels that a large part of the reason for this is her relationship that led to such a situation.

"Well, since consolation is useless, then I will carefully analyze the prospects of this drama."

Lin Daoqiu felt that no matter how he comforted Zhong Chuhong, he would not be happy, so he planned to use his professional knowledge to let Zhong Chuhong know whether the drama would lose money or make money in the end.

Looking at Lin Daoqiu with suspicion, Zhong Chuhong obviously suspected that the other party was making up lies to comfort herself.

"Don't look at me like that. I won't lie to anyone. After all, there are not many people as honest as me nowadays."

"Are you really honest? Huh...it's better to say less."

Originally Zhong Chuhong was very sad, but when she heard Lin Daoqiu said that he was a very honest person, she became extremely angry.

He didn't settle the accounts with him about those women, and he actually dared to say that he was an honest person in front of him. It's no wonder that Zhong Chuhong didn't buy Lin Daoqiu's account.
