The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 150 "The Silence of the Lambs" is released

This year’s May Day holiday is a veritable “devil’s holiday”.

Not only because there are many blockbuster movies with great ability to attract money, but also because of a very magical point - almost all heavyweight players have the word "magic" in their names.

——April 24th is the animated film "The Ring" by Lianya Entertainment.

Although it has the word "devil" in it, it is still a family fun routine commonly used by Lianya Entertainment. It is destined to reap the box office of all age groups and is 100% not easy to mess with;

——April 26th is "The Silence of the Lambs" in Dunhuang.

Although there is no "devil" in the title, anyone who has seen its promotion knows that there are "unprecedented ogres" and a ferocious "skin-flaying maniac" in this film, which is really "devil";

——The "Silence of the Lambs" has just been released, and on the 30th, the well-known thriller director Xia Hengzhi's "The Dark" will be released.

Director Xia Heng's works may not be very conspicuous among audiences of all ages, but they have a strong box office harvesting ability among thriller-loving groups.

Not to mention, on May 1st, Tang Yu Media’s martial arts blockbuster “Six Paths of Piano Demon” and China Media’s adventure action blockbuster “The Great Magician” will be released.

In terms of performance, the two leading actors were almost "obsessed" when they entered the play. Ouyang Ke went to the countryside to farm, and Shen Zhenyi was a part-time producer, and they completely adjusted their mental state before the release;

In terms of post-production, Wang Wei had the original film as a reference, and he pushed the post-production team to make rapid progress. They did not hesitate to get the worst grade but also keep the most perfect version;

In terms of publicity, joint hype, borrowing the east wind, and riding on the popularity...

Not to mention his obvious performance of "jumping in line" to compete in the ring, someone in Pearl Pictures also revealed the news that someone in the film company wants to specifically target the Dunhuang film.

——The other party is already a competitor. How can he give up a capable female director who can be used for at least several years just because he is unhappy?

For any director's transformational work, the risks are high.

This also resulted in the overall film scheduling rate of "Lamb" being ranked behind its competitors.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with the gathering of blockbusters. Everyone staggered the subject matter, played differentiated cards, and focused on their respective market segments. "The Dance of the Devils" also had its own way of survival.

This is something that annoys the crew of "Lambs" even more than the lack of favorable views from the media.

If you consider that this effect is largely due to the promotion channels of Pearl Pictures, it is even more worthy of snickering.

"It seems that we can only go head-to-head with "Dark Demon"!"

No, there is one more thing to be thankful for——

But the intervention of "Dark Demon" made the situation different - at least for Dunhuang.

As May approaches, the movie market begins to boom, and cinemas across the country begin to welcome more and more moviegoers - broadly speaking, the summer season starts in May.

Because on the eve of the launch of the May Day schedule, many media made forward-looking predictions for this popular schedule. Unfortunately, "Lamb" was ranked at the bottom of the heavyweights in all predictions.

Because of this, after the May Day film list came out, some media joked that this year's May Day film was really a "dance of demons."

As for "Lambs" adjusting its schedule and postponing its release?

Not to mention that this is simply a sign of weakness, nor that it is not easy to adjust the schedule. Just when to postpone it is a question——

"Fortunately, the pre-publicity effect was excellent. Compared with other blockbusters, not to mention "Darkness", the popularity is at least evenly matched." Lao Wang raised his eyebrows.

"Tongzi, use the remaining resonance halo I have!"

"There is nothing we can do, they are just here for us." Wang Wei said, spreading his hands.

As a result, the cost of waiting for the movie will increase significantly.

Most of the film screening experts at theaters think this film is very watchable, but they are not sure about its market potential.

Of course, no media dares to say that Wang Wei's new film will definitely fail, but if it wants to be a box office hit like its predecessor, the probability is so small that it can be ignored.

But there is one thing Wang Wei did not say, that is - if it cannot be solved within the scope of ability, leave it to help outside the scope of ability.

Wang Wei still said the same thing - "There is no way."

Of course, the name "Devil" is accidental, but the large number of films is inevitable.

Don’t forget, there will be more blockbuster summer movies coming next, so it can’t possibly be postponed to September, right?

On the other hand, it is because they all regard "The Lamb" as Wang Wei's transformational work.

They don't strive for more popular ratings, not because they know there is any conspiracy behind it, but because the final release version of "Lambs" is too complete!

There is nothing to say about the quality of "Lamb", which is the only thing worth celebrating.

“Our release version is perfect!”

The source is not difficult to find. Is it actually because of Dunhuang’s support for director He Wenying?

There's nothing more to say.

As films that invest heavily in special effects, they are all Jaws.

On the other hand, "Charlotte"'s single-film box office explosion of over 1 billion not only stimulated the adrenaline of filmmakers, but also made it clear that after the ticket price increases, a popular period can host more blockbusters competing at the same time.

And between two movies like this, they can really only fight against each other, and the brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.

Both are thrillers, so the audience groups of the two movies basically overlap.

"However, compared with the universal-18 rating of "Dark Demon", the restricted rating of "Lamb" is really a disadvantage." Lao Wang couldn't help but frowned.

Time flies so fast, April 26th is here in the blink of an eye, and "The Silence of the Lambs" is officially released.

The filming schedule of "Lamb" was also affected by this.

Although Wang Wei's words were somewhat boastful, Lao Wang had to admit that he was right——

At the premiere ceremony, when the movie started, Wang Wei stared at the big screen, but silently gave instructions in his heart——

I don’t know if the director’s comfort is of any use. At least on the surface, everyone’s anxiety is gone and they are waiting step by step for the film to accept its “fate” judgment.

The ghost knows whether the unpredictable fate will repay you with songs or pain!

"This is the idea of ​​Pearl Pictures. "Dark Devil" is definitely the biggest rival of "Lambs"." Lao Wang said rather depressed.

Of course not fate!

After all, it’s okay to fight head-on, but if you don’t arrange the film, how can you fight?

Only director Wang Wei responded calmly.

On the one hand, "Lamb" can be said to have a wolf in front, a tiger in the back, and a poisonous snake beside it;

Faced with the confusion of other members of the crew, he consoled him: "We have done the best within our capabilities, and leave the rest to fate. It is useless to think too much..."

How strange!

It is true that the crew basically did their best within their capabilities——

However, Lao Wang soon stopped laughing.

The familiar purple halo rose and dissipated into countless light spots.

[Resonance Halo (one-time use) - Wearing it can make the audience's resonance point when a movie shot by the host is released be projected into reality. 】

——If, if it goes as he expected, "Lamb" in this time and space may become a "magic film"!

——There is no problem that a "magic movie" can't solve. If there is... then Wang Wei has nothing to do. Let's just sit back and let him laugh!
