Chapter 703: Be crazy first and make a big splash
Rules.
It has always been formulated by those in authority.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Governor Zhou postponed the release of the movie this time because he was rushing to Lu Chuan.
Many people are gloating about his misfortune. Who made Lu Chuan so excited recently?
Governor Zhou is truly the first person to export culture. He has just been in the official media news and has been personally endorsed by the official.
It’s okay for you, Lu Chuan, to put gold on your face and claim that you have contributed to the elimination of stereotypes between the two countries.
How can this heinous blood feud be eliminated?
So many of our ancestors and compatriots who died in Jinling may not agree.
It also fits the classic line of Prime Minister Zhuge. I have never seen such a shameless person.
Soon, someone called to persuade Zhou Yutang.
It will be beneficial for everyone to take a step back and make money.
Rational analysis, at least in terms of the size of the film, "Tomb Raiders", which is positioned as a benchmark for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Secret of the Dragon", is undoubtedly a large-scale commercial film.
Definitely more qualified to be the Lunar New Year rival of "Detective Chinatown" than "Bad Angel".
After all, it is a super hot IP, and it is also blessed by traffic niche.
If two movies of equal quality are released on the same day, one of them will be injured if two tigers compete.
Pei Kang made a painful statement about the pros and cons.
But Zhou Yutang just insisted on having his own way.
He also has enough confidence to support such an ambitious move.
If Lu Chuan is unhappy, he will be beaten down.
Not to mention Pei Kang, even Jesus’ coming to persuade him was useless.
This sudden postponement of the schedule and large-scale early screenings are groundbreaking in the film and television industry.
The industry is paying attention to this matter.
Including Lu Chuan’s father.
Lu Laodeng has some connections in the literary and art circles.
If his son wants to ascend to power, he, as a father, will of course use all his resources to support him.
La Peikang failed to persuade Governor Zhou, and retired old man Han Sanye also called: "Those old guys have all come to my place."
"That means Mr. Han, you He has a high status in their hearts."
Zhou Yutang raised his hand and asked Ni Ni behind him to stop rubbing. He frowned and said, "Mr. Han, are you here to be a lobbyist too?"
< br>“I’m retired, why do I join in the fun?”
Han Sanping said with a smile: "You young people, you have to solve your own problems. I'll let you know when I call you. Can I ask for a drink at the premiere?"
Zhou Yutang felt warm in his heart and laughed leisurely.
After so many years of dealing with each other, we have a tacit understanding with each other.
Zhou Yutang earned a lot of face for Han Sanye in the second half of his career, allowing him to carry the halo of glory and enter the Chinese film palace with more dignity.
From now on, when talking about Governor Zhou, the leader of domestic entertainment, who would not praise Mr. Han for his sharp eyesight and knowledge of people?
Now Han Sanping is undoubtedly on Zhou Yutang's side.
If Lu Chuan was really capable, he would still be able to take the lead even under Zhou Yutang's sniper attack.
Because of this year’s Lunar New Year, the situation has gradually become clearer.
In its second week of release, Xiaogang Pao's "Old Pao'er" has fully realized its box office potential.
There is only one "Villain Angel" co-produced by Guangguang and Deng Chao, and it is not as popular as a super IP like "Tomb Robbers". It may not make much waves in the Lunar New Year season.
The remaining movie "One Thought of Heaven" written and directed by Zhang Cheng is just trying to steal the chicken.
Several film and television companies spent money to hire Shen Teng and Ma Li, who became popular due to the popularity of "Charlotte Troubles". The Happy Twist team did not participate in the film production.
In fact, it was just as Han Sanping expected.
When Xiaogangpao took two top-notch young men on road shows, the box office of "Lao Paoer" was soaring.
Deng Chao's "Bad Angel" has finally made it to the big screen, joining the cast to compete in the Lunar New Year movie.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles.
Zhou Yutang went to the cinema to watch these Lunar New Year movies.
"Lao Pao'er" went with Liu Shishi.
As for "The Villain Angel", Deng Chao kept chatting with him. Zhou Yutang knew the general situation and didn't want to watch it anymore.
But Reba is a member of the men's running team, and Deng Chao takes great care of her on the show, so she will definitely support her.
She has just finished her fashion trip and returned to the capital for the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal. The cute look with her pouty lips is really hard to resist.
Zhou Yutang simply managed his time and accompanied Reba to his home theater to watch the stars.
Halfway through, Reba regretted it.
Even as a member of a men's running team, it is difficult for her to say that this movie is good against her will.
When I was bored, I was about to talk to Zhou Yutang, but I found him sitting on a comfortable and soft recliner.
My eyes were closed, my breathing was even, and I slept peacefully.
The starry sky cinema dedicated to Zhou Yutang has specially designed seats. Put down the middle armrest and it becomes like a side-by-side sofa bed.
Reba leaned over, rested her head on Zhou Yutang's shoulder, and fell into a sweet dream.
It wasn't until the ending song played that the two of them were awakened. Reba felt like she was being pardoned and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over."
Zhou Yutang followed suit, and Reba raised her hips in cooperation and sat directly on Zhou Yutang's lap.
"How was the movie?"
"To be honest, it's not good."
Reba moved her body, held the back of Zhou Yutang's neck with both hands, and went to Kiss him on the face.
The support for Deng Chao outside was all due to worldliness, but what he said in front of Zhou Yutang now was the truth.
After some tenderness, Zhou Yutang didn't go any further. One hand held Reba's ant waist, and the other hand gently stroked the delicate and tender thigh skin.
He was not in a hurry to go out and held Reba in his arms while chatting about the movie.
Performance leads to directing.
This is a normal thing in the entertainment industry.
Leave aside the example of Zhou Yutang, the monster, and take Xu Baldou as an example.
An embarrassing series made him sit on the capital table.
Easy and easy to make money.
Deng Chao had previously competed with Huang Xiaoming for the Mesozoic brother, and his position was much higher than that of Xu Guangtou.
Seeing his ascension, Deng Chao also had ideas.
However, Deng Chao is a good actor and can handle many types of roles, but it does not mean that he is a good director.
When he and Yu Baimei were combined, a toxic chemical reaction occurred.
Zhou Yutang also told Deng Chao about the problems with this script.
But he definitely didn’t listen.
At that time, Raytheon locked the Lunar New Year schedule in advance. Due to the schedule, there was no time to elaborate on the script and it had to be started immediately.
He could only trust Yu Baimei and start the project directly. “The reputation is probably going to be bad.”
After patting her butt, Zhou Yutang stood up and prepared to take Reba to eat hot pot. He asked with rare concern: "How was the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala?"
This year Reba ushered in a period of rising career. "Beautiful Li Huizhen" was a great addition to her.
With her energetic and cheerful image as a girl, and her household registration advantage, Reba has always had an advantage in participating in programs such as the Spring Festival Gala.
This year her program is Northern Xinjiang folk dance.
"It's okay."
While arranging her hair and dress, Reba gossiped: "But I heard that Li Jing and Xie Na's sketches were both shot, and Guo Donglin was also shot. Even the show with Brother Teng failed."
Zhou Yutang shook his head and was not surprised.
Previous Spring Festival Gala programs were as exciting as a hundred flowers blooming.
But in recent years, there seems to be a trend of becoming more and more boring.
The directing team does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.
The programs for the Spring Festival Gala must not only be artistic and joyful, but more importantly, they must also be ideological.
Being qualified to be selected is one thing, and whether it can pass the review is another thing
Although Deng Chao worked hard to promote his "Villain Angel", the market gave a very realistic answer.
The box office revenue on the first day was 152 million, which seems to be a very beautiful number and is reasonable.
But the word-of-mouth rating has just gone online, and it has already exploded to the core of the earth, with a rating of 3.8 on Douban and 4.5 on Time.com.
"Brother Tang, Brother Chao seems to be stimulated."
Just after Zhang Ruojun finished complaining, Reba also sent a message.
“The first one is crazy.”
Zhou Yutang glanced at Weibo, shook his head and laughed.
Failure to meet expectations probably dealt a heavy blow to the Deng Dynasty.
I am surfing the Internet intensively at the moment and posting on Weibo like crazy.
According to statistics, in just one hour, Deng Chao retweeted 78 comments on Weibo from netizens about the movie "Bad Angel", which he directed and starred in.
Moreover, each entry is paired with the words "Wan De Fu" and a doge expression.
“Has this guy’s account been hacked?”
"Okay, okay, the villain angel is the most beautiful in the world, don't do it."
"Are you okay with your brain?"
"I can't stand it, I'll take it off for a while, because I I also want to read other people’s Weibo.”
“I suddenly hate Deng Chao. Since I’m making a movie, I have to be prepared for negative reviews. It’s so pretentious!”
"For the sake of teaching Xiaolu to tear off famous brands, I will not jail you."
Before the seizure, Deng Chao's Weibo followers were approximately 45.44 million, and then dropped to 45.28 million.
In just one hour, it lost nearly 160,000 followers!
This also created a moderate record.
Yu Baimei is still struggling pointlessly, "Time.com and Douban have big problems with the movie's rating mechanism. At 12 o'clock on the night the movie was released, nearly 70% of the ratings websites Star rating, how can normal people collectively write bad reviews in the middle of the night?
What kind of marketing gangsters are doing these dirty things?
I suggest that everyone use Weibo to search for the topic of 'Villain Angel'. We search every ten minutes, and the feedback we get is that at least 80% to 90% of the viewers are positive, and the reviews are very good. I believe these That’s the real feeling of the ticket-buying audience.”
“It’s okay to lie to brothers, but don’t lie to yourself. "
Netizens did not accept this explanation. Whether the movie is good or not is up to people's minds.
"There is one less competitor. ”
Seeing the battle online, Lu Chuan gloated and secretly laughed.
Just a few days ago, he was still being frantically besieged, but fortunately Deng Chao came out and saved his life.
Although the box office of "Bad Angel" exceeded 100 million on the first day, the total box office seems to be very strong, but that is just the fulfillment of the early publicity.
With such a reputation, it is basically impossible to counterattack. For Deng Chao, the savior, Lu Chuan was not grateful at all. He even took up the trumpet and secretly took the lead. I wish he died.
“Xiaogang Pao’s “Lao Pao Er” has a solid reputation and a solid box office, but in the second week of its release, its potential is basically the same, and it is difficult to break one billion.”< br>
“As long as Zhou Yutang is blocked, then this year’s Lunar New Year period will be about getting everything you ask for.”
The producers gathered together to analyze and discuss, thinking that a bright future was in sight, and everyone was in high spirits.
The most excited person is Lu Chuan.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of you.
Not to mention defeating Zhou Yutang head-on, as long as he can compete with him, he will immediately become famous in one battle.
Not only can he wash away the shame of the past, but he can also become a top director in the industry.
When the time comes, glory, applause, and adoring eyes
all will be there!
Thinking of this, Lu Chuan's heart felt as hot as a wildfire igniting the wasteland.
But before the fire in his heart could ignite, the large-scale advance screening of "Detective Chinatown" was like a basin of cold water poured on Lu Chuan's head.
Three rounds of screenings, the film scheduling rates of "Detective Chinatown" were 23.3%, 25.8%, and 26.3% respectively.
The box office for these three days was 178 million, 195 million, and 223 million respectively.
Before the movie was released, the total box office was nearly 600 million, breaking the box office record in Chinese film history and shocking countless people.
The Lunar New Year holiday has just begun the war, but with the landing of "Detective Chinatown", it seems to have been declared over in advance.
At this time, after the box office of "Bad Angel" exceeded 500 million, due to the impact of word-of-mouth, the film schedule has been reduced, and it is difficult to continue.
"Old Paoer", which was released to preempt the Chinese New Year, has been released for 10 days, with a cumulative box office of 555 million. The reputation and box office have been rising, but it has already fulfilled most of its box office potential.
The remaining major online movie "Unexpectedly" has just passed the 300 million threshold at the box office, and its film schedule has dropped to single digits, and it will be released soon.
“Zhou Yutang is a genius, he is always used to bringing surprises to the audience. After watching "The Thieves 2" this year, I originally thought that this series may have been overdrawn too much, and the audience will be tired of it in the future. What stood out to me was that Zhou Yutang found a new way to combine comedy and suspense themes very well."
"There are easter eggs from the Thieves universe in it, and it tells a different story. While watching the movie, the laughter in the theater never stopped. It was funny, but also terrifying.
"Detective Chinatown" definitely deserved to be a hit at the box office. , in my opinion, this movie is undoubtedly the best for this year’s Lunar New Year, and may even set a box office record for domestic movies in China. Congratulations in advance to the Governor.”
——Famous film critic Fang Liming.
"The charm of performing arts lies in being able to overcome many conditions and show the essence of the character to the audience. Wang Baoqiang undoubtedly did a good job in this. His acting skills are as wonderful as ever. It can be seen that Zhou Yutang is not only able to train actresses, but Lu Han's fans also You should be very happy. His acting skills also gave the audience a lot of surprises, including the selection of supporting actors and the film’s soundtrack, which are all excellent.”
——Film critic Wei Jun
< br>Most of the film critics gave positive reviews, including the up owners on station B, who promoted it in a 360-degree spiral with no dead ends.
Celebrities spared no effort to forward their support on social media.
Prime time TV news.
Although the movie has not yet been officially released, it has been promoted through all channels and has already ignited everyone's passion for watching movies.
A small number of viewers who have watched the movie have also begun to enjoy themselves in front of their friends, and it has gradually become the hottest social topic at the moment.
“You haven’t watched Zhou Yutang’s new movie yet?”< br>
“Just thinking about it, I didn’t get a ticket.”
“Where are the tickets? Why are they gone?”
"The cinema is not doing business? Why are there only three shows?"
"This is an advance screening to let everyone enjoy it in advance. It will not be released until the 31st. You can pre-order it on Maoyan. ”
“Ah ah ah, there are still two days to watch!”
The first wave of word-of-mouth reviews from the audience were almost unanimously positive.
Zhou Yutang used his connections to guarantee more than 20% of the film schedule. As a result, the venue was full and it was hard to get a ticket!
For theaters, this is something that has never happened before.
A movie that has not yet been officially released has grossed nearly 600 million at the box office after just three rounds of screenings!
With the power of dominating the world.
It broke through the film market like a ravage.
