The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 21 Reversal, Reversal

Someone's words can really be worth millions of publicity expenses.

If there were a hot search list now, the overripe big melon of the Guo family would definitely be on the headlines, with the word "explosion" in capital letters at the end.

And "Beiping Holiday" is definitely a keyword on the hot search list.

Everyone is born to gossip.

The eldest princess of a wealthy family resists a family marriage, which is a major concern of the whole people; but when the eldest princess of a wealthy family really chooses to marry into a poor family, it has become a topic of discussion and controversy among the people.

If "love or bread" was once a classic question, today, the answer to this question has slowly tilted towards the bread side.

In other words, simply "marrying for love" is becoming increasingly rare in reality.

Guo Zhaobing's choice of "want love but not bread", well, it should be "want love but not country". Will he leave a beautiful legend in the world, or will he leave a blood and tears to warn future generations?

"I hope she can be happy. I like this kind of love story."

"There is a principle of being well-matched, but if the gap is too big, you won't be able to get far."

"Girl, if I have to say you're awesome, a new generation of leading director has suffered a big setback just because of you."

Yes, Lao Wang, who was about to make a fortune, finally made a big deal and directly chartered a business jet as a means of transportation for the crew of "Peking Holiday" to run road shows across the country.

"……Depend on!"

"You don't understand life..."

"That makes me feel even more itchy..."

"Didn't you see it?"

"Fast Hour" continued to dive, with a single-day box office of only 9.24 million.

"Hey, aren't you moved at all?"

"Let's go and see together..."

"Believe me, it's definitely not a bad movie. I really love the princess in it." Yin Youyou affirmed.

"I'll go too."

These days, theaters are still getting film copies, which weigh more than ten kilograms each. The production cost is high, and the film producers all produce based on the expected filming schedule.

"Let's take a look."

——Following the film schedule advantage and single-day box office advantage being reversed, word-of-mouth also reversed!

Even if Tang Yu Media's public relations tried their best, the negative reputation of "Speed ​​​​Hour" could not be suppressed. Criticisms of "blurred story levels" and "emphasis on special effects over logic" were frequently reported in the press.

"You only love material things..."

"This gives me a bold guess. The box office of "Peking Holiday" is about to explode. Will Wang Wei replace Luo Jianzhou and become the director who can best handle the box office among the new generation?"

"Really? I always thought it was a bad movie that just followed the trend and was hyped."

But Lao Wang gave them a reassurance that they could make as many copies as they wanted, and as long as they were willing to increase the number of films, everyone would be guaranteed to have this hot bite.

When theaters had no time to adjust their film schedule, the daily revenue in a single day was 15.36 million, a decrease of only 12%.

"Sorry, there are no more tickets for the 7:12 show of "Peking Holiday"."

And what about "Peking Holiday"?

"At nine-thirty-five, there are only two tickets left."

Therefore, on the second working day of this week, "Peking Holiday" historically secured 3,500 screens, and for the first time counter-pressed "Speed ​​​​Hour" in the film schedule.

Starting from the afternoon show, the attendance of "Peking Holiday" has exploded!

Shows in many theaters across the country have been sold out.

Discussions like this happen in every corner of the country.

…

He still wanted to argue, but another reversal occurred, giving theaters more reason to adjust their film schedules.

Could it be that the gods and Buddhas worshiped in the sky during the power-on ceremony are really so powerful?

"Buy three tickets."

"It's impossible to be completely despairing. Maybe you'll cheer up right away, because..." Shen Zhenyi's eyes flickered and she looked at Wang Wei, "Brother, how do you feel about being touted as the new generation of directors who will replace you?"

"However, the explosions and car chases cannot cover up the paleness of the plot itself. The pace of the film is too fast, so fast that it does not even tell a story clearly."

But the audience will not pretend that the problem does not exist. They can only say that they will always have to pay back if they mess around.

His first two films have a strong visual style while maintaining a compact and complete plot. It is no wonder that he is regarded as a leader among the new generation of directors.

After all, Dunhuang's bad luck in the past three years is quite unscientific. Who knows whether it will continue into the fourth year?

However, from the non-chief to the European emperor, there is no precaution at all!

"However, with Tang Yu's operational capabilities, it shouldn't be difficult to recover the costs. But as the newspaper said, the fact that the upward momentum has been severely frustrated may make him more painful." Lao Wang pondered.

"If he hears it, he will probably lose all hope."

They hold the contract in hand and require theaters to release the film for a specified number of weeks before they can reduce the film schedule of "Fast Hour".

"Pfft... it's so miserable!"

In his opinion, Luo Jianzhou is a bit similar to the director Michael Bay in his memory, with an innate talent for shooting action scenes.

Many people who knew "Peking Holiday" through the previous round of publicity and went to see it at the same time also consciously gave this movie to their relatives and friends.

From the beginning of the "Beiping Holiday" project, Wang Wei was thinking about "what to do if there is a thunderstorm."

That was Monday, a working day.

Just think about it, from the start of filming in May to the release at the end of October, such a short time is enough for a small-budget love movie, let alone a big-budget action movie.

For example, Yin Youyou, who watched the movie on the opening day, actively recommended it to her colleagues: "It's very good. I tell you, you will never regret it if you go see it."

"Let's go together."

At this time, what theater chains were most worried about was that there were not enough copies of Dunhuang movies, and they could not add more films to the schedule if they wanted to.

This is not to say that the talent is exhausted, it is simply that it is "too tight" as the above-mentioned film critic said.

Saying this, everyone turned their attention to Shen Zhenyi, the instigator.

A group of colleagues said: "We want five tickets in total, and we will sit a little further behind."

But this "Fast Hour" obviously missed the mark.

Now all the theaters have realized that the film "Peking Holiday" definitely has potential.

A couple said: "Give me two tickets for "Peking Holiday". I want the one in the middle."

"Frankly speaking, there is no shortage of highlights in "Speed". Director Luo's ability to shoot action scenes has never been doubted. The explosion scenes and car chase scenes are smooth and imaginative, and they all bring strong visual stimulation to the audience."

This is the case for "Fast Hour". The single-day box office on Monday dropped to 10.19 million, a drop of more than 50% compared to last Sunday.

"What's interesting is that the top two movies in this week's box office rankings can be said to be lackluster in terms of plot."

This is directly reflected in the box office reported!

If someone looks down from above, he or she can see that as soon as the get off work day comes, groups of office workers pour out of office buildings in major cities, calling their friends and going into movie theaters.

Luo Jianzhou was so angry that he scolded his mother. You have to remember that this is a working day, and the movie is scheduled for ghosts in the morning. Even if all the screens in the country are given to him, how many tickets can he sell?

I doubt there is a European Emperor among us, believe it or not.

"But director Wang Wei did a great job. "Peking Holiday" combines all the elements of tragedy and comedy, but also grasps the emotional balance just right. The meeting of the male and female protagonists is joyful but not ordinary, and the parting is sad but not sad. It makes

A love gradually reaches its climax, and then lets it stay at the most beautiful point."

For Luo Jianzhou, the man behind Tang Yu, even if the attendance rate is only 20 to 30%, it is better than giving up the screening hall to competitors to show their strong films.

At this point, there is no need for Dunhuang to say anything more, just add the arrangement of films to it, and then add it.

A well-known film critic said it well-

"It's so tragic. It seems like just one day later, all of Luo Jianzhou's leading advantages were reversed by us." On the chartered flight for the road show, Wang Chuanqi said with "sympathy" on his face.

By Tuesday, no, the theater chain that responded quickly on Monday had already decided to significantly increase the film schedule of "Peking Holiday", and the call to Dunhuang for a copy was almost overcrowded.

With all the energy put into special effects production, wouldn’t the plot and rhythm be out of balance?

In order to compete in the competition, Luo Jianzhou insisted on pushing the film to be released, and he could only pretend that the areas that could be remedied did not exist.

That doesn't mean you are short of time, that means you don't even have time to breathe.

"My heart is so excited." Wang Wei said with infinite melancholy: "I'm confused as to why "Peking Holiday" has become such a trend..."

The one with the biggest opinions was Tang Yu Media.

"Sorry, there are no more middle tickets. Do you want the seats on both sides?" the conductor replied.

"I want to watch it again, and I really like the princess's dress in the movie. I didn't see the brand of the dress clearly last time, so I have to keep my eyes open this time."

This decline is not eye-catching, it can be called blinding.

"What do you think? I don't dare to think about it." Wang Wei wanted to roll his eyes.

Not to mention that Luo Jianzhou, his opponent, was confused, even Wang Wei was doubtful about life.

"Sold so fast? When is the next show?"

"Judging from the current box office trends, Director Luo's upward momentum may be about to suffer a serious blow."

"...The seats are a bit off, forget it, let's take two."

"Okay, then I'll go buy the tickets after get off work. Hey, does anyone want to go see it with me?"

"Comparing Director Luo's first two masterpieces, they are obviously not up to standard. This is a pity, because Director Luo could have hit a personal record of 1 billion box office with this film, thus becoming the leader among the new generation of directors who can handle the box office the most.

figure."

"It seems like the opposite choice to the eldest princess?"

"Tsk, although your gloating face is very ugly, but I have to say that he brought it on himself." Wang Wei, who had taken the time to watch "Fast Hour" earlier, had reason to say this.

Shen Zhenyi was not polite: "This is good. I guess he won't show off in front of me for a long time."

Generally speaking, after a film experiences a large-scale release on its first weekend, its single-day box office will quickly plummet on the following weekday.

But of course the distributors of other excluded movies would not be happy with this.

The box office did not live up to expectations, taking in 17 million in a single day, achieving reverse growth in the box office on weekdays.

Yin Youyou also raised her hand, "I'll go with you too."

"However, what kind of movie is "Peking Holiday" that Chairman Guo can use as a counterexample to the eldest princess?"

A best friend holding hands said: "I also want two tickets, in the middle of the back row."

But the theater chain hopes that the film can make a lot of money, so how can it be restricted by a contract?

There are too many tricks that can be done, such as moving the largest screening room as much as possible to "Peking Holiday", or moving part of the film schedule of "Fast Hour" to the morning...

It's impossible, what I'm wearing isn't from a fantasy world.

So the question is, who has such terrible luck? Does he lack a thigh pendant?

Anyway, it couldn't be him, an ordinary person who has participated in lottery draws since he was a child, has never been absent, and has never won a prize.
