Zhang Yunlei was very satisfied with the results of Guo Qilin's third film and grinned happily. Although it was also beyond his reach, it was not always smooth sailing.
I really want him to fail in a movie.
I just looked at it at night, and the more I looked at it, the weirder it became.
The positive reviews are extremely scary.
The rating on a certain movie website even reached 8.5.
You must know that generally a movie is already a very good movie if it has a score of 7 or so, and is well-liked by people.
The result was good. On the first day, the movie directed and starred by Guo Qilin scored 8.5 points. If this wasn't rave reviews, he didn't know what rave reviews were.
Layers of goosebumps appeared on Zhang Yunlei's body. He had only been happy for a few seconds when he was shocked by this scene.
Quickly take a look to see what's going on and confirm whether it was swiped.
But that's not the case at all. Everyone who has watched the movie has left their own heartfelt messages and feelings.
"A war movie without any war scenes, but it makes you feel the real and great Chinese soldiers, as well as the cruel and necessary real war. Hey, I won't say much about this magical movie. I was really cleansed after watching it. Mind.”
"Jin Kailai sacrificed, Liang Sanxi sacrificed, little BJ sacrificed, presented medals, and paid off debts. These scenes made me feel sour for a while. Which soldier does not have a family? Which martyr does not have relatives? The commander's children also have to go to the battlefield! Huaxia It is in this great river and mountains supported by the cutest people that we are revived again.”
"When I learned that Dalin was the director, I knew at that moment that Guo Qilin had created a miracle film. This was not a slogan movie or a gimmick movie. It made me feel that I had returned to the sincerity of the movies decades ago. I highly recommend everyone to watch it.”
"Goosebumps are rising. Dalin's acting skills are amazing at this moment. Those eyes in the theater made me numb. Sometimes I can't imagine that a cross talk talker can completely overwhelm a group of singers and actors. It's so surprising. ”
……
The reviews for the film were all positive, and Zhang Yunlei was completely puzzled by it, as if he had conquered everyone. The atmosphere and feeling are definitely not something ordinary movies can exude.
Even the movies that have sold over 3 billion at the box office in recent years are not like this.
"What's going on?"
I really don't understand, but Zhang Yunlei doesn't care about this. Fortunately, it didn't completely explode at the box office. This makes him very happy.
But even so, I still pay attention to the ticket sales of his movies all the time. Sometimes being envious of someone for a long time can become pathological.
As the first day passed, the box office remained stable without any big fluctuations.
At most, some fans and passers-by will see the news and know that Guo Qilin's new movie sold more than 60 million yuan.
Good results.
It's good, but it's also a pity that it hasn't surpassed the past. According to his trend, it's very likely that something bigger will explode.
The first two films proved that he has such filmmaking abilities, and he even won the Best Actor Award.
But this one obviously doesn't.
By the second day, the total box office results were 150 million.
The results are also not bad, a little higher than the first day, but Guo Qilin and others did not promote too much. The first one is indeed as netizens said, it is not a slogan movie, and the earliest celebrity promotion is already very difficult.
Otherwise, the box office on the first day might only be 40 million.
Wait until the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh days pass.
I originally thought that the movie would steadily develop towards more than one billion, but Guo Qilin did not expect an unexpected change.
That is, on the fifth, sixth, and seventh days, the box office gradually increased and exploded.
The results on the first day put the film in sixth place among the films of the day. Many films were also released during the Lantern Festival, making them extremely competitive.
The next day it was fifth place.
The third day is the top three.
On the fourth day, I went straight to first place.
It was still the same on the fifth, sixth, and seventh days, and the box office exploded.
In just six or seven days, it reached an incredible two billion.
Suddenly, Guo Qilin's scalp went numb in his studio. Not only him, but netizens also got numb after seeing the box office hit 2 billion in six days.
The rise in grade cliff style.
You must know that it was only 60 million on the first day. It is impossible to reach 2 billion in a month, and it only takes seven days, that is to say.
In the next six days, the price increased by more than 1.9 billion.
Suddenly Guo Qilin became panicked. He didn't understand why. He knew that there were many good reviews and word-of-mouth, but he didn't understand that word-of-mouth could drive so many people to watch it.
In an instant, the word sold two billion in seven days and became extremely eye-catching on the Internet.
The news spread like wildfire.
Topic news, delivered directly.
Weibo’s hot search even ranked first.
Only one title left!
"Guo Qilin creates a masterpiece of war movies"!
It suddenly exploded, and Guo Qilin and his huge team had to get busy again.
Continuously accept interviews, continuous interviews with variety shows, and many exclusive interviews with actors.
But even after participating in these, Guo Qilin still did not get over the feeling that the movie was a hit.
I have never experienced a movie that instantly rose in popularity through word-of-mouth.
But I saw that Guo Qilin's originally steady movie suddenly exploded.
Yu Qian was happy, but he didn't expect his apprentice to seize such an opportunity.
Relying on word of mouth to pull it up.
When the brothers saw the movie explode, they were also surprised one after another, and the screen was filled with congratulations.
Only one person was unhappy.
It was Zhang Yunlei who suddenly got up.
It didn't feel like it was going to explode before, and I didn't pay that much attention to it. But in the blink of an eye in the past few days, the data has become very impressive.
Suddenly came two billion.
The word Guo Qilin was everywhere. When I saw it in the morning, I thought it was a dream. When I saw it at the last time, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
I thought it wouldn't be popular, but it turned out to be like this.
Two billion almost cost him his life. Why was Guo Qilin so lucky?
The last time I looked at the score, it came to 9.2, which completely conquered people of all ages. Even many young people took their older generations to the cinema.
Entering the cinema, the emotions of the older generation are overflowing.
Just because the details are well drawn.
Warmth and cruelty were exactly the state of war at that time.
Warmth is between comrades-in-arms, cruelty is like fighting. It may be there one second, but like the company commander the next second, a bullet will directly kill you, without a last word.
Therefore, under the influence of various circumstances, the movie box office exploded.
For several days.
Guo Qilin accepted many exclusive interviews and was also hit by his own movies.
More than ten days have passed, the public screening has ended, and the box office has reached a new level.
Thirty-six billion! !
When the final results came out, Guo Qilin himself felt in a daze. He had sold so much in a daze and made the whole Internet aware of it.
Even some of the biggest names in the film industry are starting to show their approval.
There are even some small directors starting to follow suit.
It's like an outlet has been created inexplicably.
"May I ask what you wanted to express in the first place when you made this movie?"
After the film was released, a well-known film website conducted an exclusive interview with Guo Qilin. He has participated in this kind of interview many times.
Guo Qilin looked at the camera, "At the beginning, I wanted to make a simple but understandable war movie, and also portray our cutest and lowest-level soldiers."
Reporter: "The final score is 3.6 billion. What do you think?"
"I don't have any feelings. It's not my personal achievement, it's everyone's hard work and love."
Reporter: "I heard that you were injured during the filming process?"
"Yes, but it was just a minor injury. I didn't pay attention at the time."
Reporter: "There is a scene where little BJ sacrifices himself because of the rotten egg. It is a scene that everyone feels deeply about. How was it designed?"
Guo Qilin quickly shook his head, "It's not a design, that's a fact. But it's not that there was a problem with the production. It was that our country's weapons research and development and experiments were insufficient at that time, and climate problems were ignored, which caused the shells to be wet and unable to be fired.
Not many soldiers died in this situation. ”
One question after another, Guo Qilin told them through live broadcast, so that people who have watched the movie can better understand the cruelty of the war at that time.
After the live broadcast ended, he reluctantly relaxed a little.
The situation this time was so unexpected. It exploded in just a few days, with completely unexpected results.
It immediately gave me a lot of confidence. It didn’t seem to be a slogan-heavy movie, and everyone liked it, which shows that netizens still love more sincere and pure movies.
Maybe I can continue this feeling in the future.
After completing the publicity and interview tasks today, Guo Qilin had to go home. He came out early in the morning and didn't go back until evening.
But the moment I returned, a familiar voice arrived.
The 3.6 billion reached by Leng Buding naturally completed the task very well.
Hearing this voice, he felt that it was due to his temporary luck, not to how good his acting and directing skills were.
In other words, the script occupies a favorable time, place and people.
Among them, people and people are the most important.
【bite! Mission accomplished! Start earning rewards!
Congratulations on fifteen years of directing experience!
Congratulations on fifteen years of acting experience.
Congratulations on winning two out of ten film and television scripts!
Meet the conditions for the next reward and win the Best Director! 】
Guo Qilin was already very surprised to be able to complete the task. He never expected that the script would change this time.
Choose two out of ten.
Upon closer inspection, I found that this time it was not only a movie script, but also a TV series script.
To put it bluntly, choose two out of ten, one for TV and one for movies.
I have been attacking movies and have not considered TV. I will not consider it at this stage because I have to develop the style of movies first.
Although this film already has a bit of flavor, many people recognized it, and at the same time he also knew the direction of his film style.
That's something that's more sincere and more gimmicky, but it's not what I like.
Movies like "Life Events" and "Wreaths Under the Mountain" tell stories seriously, so my next movie will definitely follow this rhythm.
But when a war movie came over, he wanted to make a romance movie.
Master is right, don’t be affected by the box office, just be happy and like it.
As for winning the Best Director Award, this is consistent with my own thoughts, but it cannot be accomplished in one or two films, it requires many films.
With a sinking heart, Guo Qilin took the car home.
On the way home, there happened to be a call on my cell phone.
Master's.
"Hello, Master."
"I'm busy today."
"I'm so busy. I didn't expect my grades to be so good. I keep taking part in things."
"It seems that it was a good thing that I focused on filming this script."
"Yeah." Guo Qilin nodded. At that time, the script was really not popular and there was no gimmick worthy of publicity, but the master insisted on filming it himself.
Without Master's support, he would have been much less enthusiastic about shooting.
"I'm calling to tell you something. It's been so many days. Guo De has just given me a lot of red envelopes, saying they are for Hehe. Do you want them?"
"Red envelope?"
Yu Qian said, "You gave it to me at the beginning and wanted me to hand it over, but then it suddenly broke out? You are also busy, with overwhelming news.
I didn’t say it, I’m telling you now.
In addition, I also want to meet you and apologize to you. I regret everything I did. ”
Listening to Master's words, most people would think that Guo Degang sincerely apologized and regretted, but Guo Qilin didn't think anything of it.
In this way, he forgot about the things he had beaten and scolded him about and had to pay for his household registration. Then his memory was too bad.
You must know that if you go back and ask for it, you will give him a chance and leave a family relationship, but in the end, you will not show any kindness at all because of your household registration.
It's a good thing that I didn't bring my wife with me, otherwise I would have been the one who looked ugly at that time.
And what I regret now is that I have fallen in love with my daughter. Without my daughter, I would never have the possibility of letting him apologize in my life.
"Master, please keep the red envelope to buy delicious food for Xiaoyang."
"No?"
"There is no shortage of crops, and the whole family is pampering them."
"Okay, I'll tell him later."
Guo Qilin nodded and wanted to hang up the phone, but Yu Qian suddenly said something again.
"By the way, I have one more thing to tell you."
"What?"
"He said that your movie was a big hit this time and was praised by the whole Internet. A bunch of filmmakers can't do it for you. He is very proud of you."
It didn't matter if he didn't say it. The moment he said it, Guo Qilin's expression moved slightly and his eyes blinked a few times. He was not iron-clad, and his heart still changed slightly.
The compliment I hadn't given in many years came out at this moment, and I don't know why it was a bit ironic.
As for why Yu Qian told him, it was not to ease the relationship, but to tell the truth.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Qilin's mind completely dropped, and he no longer had any extravagant hopes for Deyunshe and his father.
Delayed justice is not justice, nor is it even compensation.
In the same way, late concern will not make people feel even a little comfort, but will make people laughable.
"That's it, Master, I'm going home when I'm done."
"Well, you have to drink some wine with me later."
"I will definitely accompany you. I want to celebrate properly this time so that my efforts will be worthwhile."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Qilin went home, looking forward to seeing his wife and daughter, but Yu Qian understood something through his apprentice's tone.
Guo Degang couldn't do anything to make his child change his mind, and his heart suddenly died on the day he quit Deyun Club.
But what to do? It's up to the old partner.
Let’s wait and see what will happen to Deyunshe and him in ten or twenty years. (End of chapter)
