Chapter 323: It’s either him or me that makes a billion-dollar domestic movie!
Hearing the thief’s call to catch the thief, Jiang preemptively exposed If You Are the One 2’s ghost scene in front of hundreds of media, calling on reporters to report it and the relevant departments to investigate strictly.
It soon caused an uproar within and outside the industry.
The media, which had been patient for a long time, would not let Jiang Wen lead them around. They directly aimed their guns at Let the Bullets Fly, Orphan of the Zhao Family, If You Are the One 2!
The media has long published the chaos in the ghost field, and the evidence they have is much richer than Jiang Wen.
On the Weibo topic list, Ghost Theater topped the list in less than half an hour.
For a time, the three major directors Feng Pengtong, Jiang Wen, and Chen Kaizi were pushed to the forefront.
In the face of media criticism, netizens’ sharp words.
Huayi avoided the spotlight for the time being and waited until the next day to issue a statement to all the friends who care about and love "If You Are the One 2".
“As creators, we welcome any discussion from the audience about the content of the film, but we deeply regret that some people with ulterior motives deliberately spread rumors and maliciously smear it.
This behavior not only caused harm to "If You Are the One 2", but also disrupted the market environment for the Lunar New Year season, further harming the domestic film industry.
In order to jointly maintain a good market environment, we did not want to take a position. We believe with good faith that this is just the behavior of a small group of people with ulterior motives.
But since the current rumors have swayed public opinion and affected the wider movie audience, we have the responsibility to make our voices heard.
We hereby responsibly declare that the accusations against "If You Are the One 2" such as ghost theater, box office theft, box office buying, capital manipulation, etc. are all nonsense.
It is purely because some people with ulterior motives use a variety of means to spread rumors, taking advantage of problems such as malfunctions in individual movie theaters or ticketing systems, and use malicious attacks to cause trouble.
We are collecting evidence in this regard and have begun to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the film through litigation and other means in accordance with the law.
Huayi Brothers
December 27, 2010. ”
Subsequently, Yinghuang and Shanghai Film and Television released similar announcements.
Anyway, the ghost field is pure nonsense, a rumor, and a slander.
< br>
Huayi, Yinghuang, and Shanghai Film were busy clarifying and dealing with the media.
And Bernard held a celebration banquet.
Laughter was officially released on the 27th, with a final box office of 210 million.
Zhao Dashan and Yu Dong were very satisfied with the result. After deducting production costs, publicity costs, and ticket replacement costs, they made tens of millions from a small gain to a large gain.
It was the first time that Zhao Dashan smashed such a long box office ice sculpture. His disciples, disciples, and Yu Dong didn’t even have time to knock it before he knocked it all over.
It’s so fun to knock.
Afterwards, Zhao Dashan was interviewed by the media. He looked so heroic and looked like he was five years younger.
After Zhao Dashan boasted in a low-key manner, some media asked: "Teacher Zhao, what do you think of the ghost field phenomenon in If You Are the One 2, Let the Bullets Fly, and the Zhao Orphans."
" I don't know about this." Zhao Dashan shook his head.
"Teacher Zhao, have you ever thought about brushing the ghost field."
"I don't know. If you don't tell me, I don't even know about this."
"Teacher Zhao, you said a while ago that you admire Director Li very much, saying that he is a hero who comes from a young age, but your name is not doing well at the box office. It's about to be released. What do you want to say about this?"
Zhao Dashan smiled, "Your name hasn't been released yet, so it's hard to say."
"Zhao. Teacher, what do you mean, do you think Director Li will create miracles after the movie is released for more than half a month?"
"Whether he will create miracles, I don't know, but I heard your name. Already got the key extension”
Key extension?
With the same box office of 200 million, Laughing Jiang Hu was released ahead of schedule.
But your name has received a key extension.
The celebration banquet suddenly became noisy, and reporters all wanted to learn more about the inside story from Zhao Dashan.
But Zhao Dashan didn’t want to talk anymore, he bowed his back, coughed a few times, and stepped back.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shenyang and Dapeng stopped in front of the master, blocked the reporter's questioning, and led the reporter to the banquet hall for dinner.
"This year's Lunar New Year is really dangerous..." Yu Dong came to Zhao Dashan and said with lingering fear.
Zhao Dashan straightened his back and said with a smile: "If they want to fight, let them fight... Regardless of the box office and reputation, get the key extension first and prepare for a protracted war, absolutely! Absolutely amazing!”
“Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian can really endure it! The three companies’ 300 million ticket subsidy has been used up, and your name still has 200 million ticket subsidy...”
Zhao Dashan took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started to eat them, "Heroes come from young! It's a pity that they are not from the Northeast."
Yu Dong secretly rolled his eyes.
Come on, whoever becomes your apprentice will be unlucky.
You still want to be Li Mingyang’s master, but he later sells you, and you don’t even know how.
Yu Dong quietly glanced at the playful and mean-spirited Dapeng.
What a talent!
Let's find an opportunity to do it later...
...
Seven thirty in the evening.
Modu, Bouquet Hotel.
Reporters from hundreds of media across the country were aiming their guns at the stage, waiting for the arrival of Guangguang Chairman Wang Changtian and talented director Li Mingyang.
"Didn't we agree on half past seven? Why haven't you come yet?" "Did something big happen again?"
"What a big thing, the ghost field has been controlled by public opinion ."
"The above attitude is obvious! We only want box office and results."
"Stop talking. The dozen or so people in our company are on vacation early."
"Here it comes! Li Mingyang is finally here!"
"There is a question and answer session today, and I feel like my whole body is burning."
"Maybe... we don't need to ask questions at all."< br>
The flash lights on the scene were connected into a film, making the stage flash white.
Wang Changtian sat on the sofa, but Li Mingyang, who was wearing a black suit, did not go to sit in his seat. Instead, he came to the center of the stage, took off his sunglasses, inserted them into his jacket pockets, pressed his hands to indicate The place was quiet.
Wait until the scene becomes quiet.
Li Mingyang took the microphone from Liu Yan and smiled slightly in front of the hundreds of reporters in the audience. "There has been a rumor that I can't express my thoughts. In fact, it's not true. I'm just too lazy to say it. I want to use it." It’s just the box office that matters.”
“But if I don’t say anything, people think I’m easy to bully and the box office is not good. I admit it, but what’s wrong with the Douban score of 3.0?”
“Douban. I have always trusted ratings. When I look for movies to watch, I always use Douban for ratings. However, Douban shocked me this time. No matter how bad your name is, it’s not only 3.0.”
“And those movie reviews. , the colors are too bright to hurt the eyes, the movie is a garbage movie that has become one star, the acting skills are zero, Li Mingyang's movies are bad movies by default, the blending is artificial, the acting skills are embarrassing, each evaluation appears dozens of times... This kind of obvious troll talk Techniques appear openly in Douban comments, and the platform turns a blind eye and ignores them, which is chilling. ”
"If Douban cannot counterattack the trolls and is instead controlled by the trolls, such a platform will have no credibility and how can movie fans trust it."
"Douban is one of the better movie rating websites in China. Although Many people avoid this question, but the ratings of Douban’s movies really affect the movie-watching community. I understand it deeply.”
“Such an excellent website is controlled by trolls. It is the tragedy of domestic films and the imperfection of the film market.”
“If Douban cannot solve its own incompetence, I think Maoyan must take up this important task and develop a rating system that only audiences who buy tickets can do. Rating, this seems more objective.”
Li Mingyang praised Douban first, then criticized it, then praised it again, and finally said helplessly that if Douban can’t solve the problem, then leave it to Maoyan.
The media at the scene didn't pay much attention to what Li Mingyang said at first, thinking he was complaining.
Unexpectedly, he ended up becoming an endorser for Guangguang Maoyan, replacing Douban.
This shocked all the reporters at the scene.
A director actually clamored to replace the most authoritative Douban movie rating in China, maybe!
It’s not impossible!
After all, Maoyan’s backstage is very awesome and powerful.
China Film, Meituan, Guangguang.
Official capital + Internet capital + private capital.
Douban is not even a listed company, so how can it fight?
After suppressing Douban, Li Mingyang did not return to his seat, but directly turned on the bombardment mode, allowing the media at the scene to ask questions.
A reporter from Mango was the first to ask, "Director Li, what do you think of the ghost scene chaos in Let the Bullets Fly, If You Are the One 2, and Orphan of Zhao?"
"Ghost scenes are inevitable when the film market develops to a certain extent. The chaos in Hollywood also exists, and it is not a special case in China. I think this just proves that the size of the domestic film market is approaching that of the North American film market. The chaos is temporary. I believe that the relevant departments will come up with effective solutions. ”
The ghost field is said to be so fresh and refined, which the media in the audience did not expect.
The reporter asked: "Ghost Field is a huge persecution of movies released at the same time. As a victim, why do you want to speak for Ghost Field? Is there anything you can't say? ”
I created the ghost field, what do you think I can say?
Li Mingyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "The domestic film market started late and went through difficulties. Finally, the film market this year exceeded 10 billion. Everything is developing in a good direction. With early detection and early treatment, the domestic film market has entered a new era. page, it is a good thing to be able to discover the problem of the ghost field... In addition, I think it is unfair to criticize Director Jiang on the Internet for calling him a thief."
"Director Jiang exposed the ghost field and messed up the movie. Making it public is an offending matter in itself. He has the courage to expose it, but he has been subjected to countless accusations and rumors. Whoever dares to stand up in the future will still be willing to come forward. "
Reporters in the audience. You look at me, I look at you.
The minds of reporters are very fast, and they quickly grasp the key points.
Li Mingyang is giving Jiang Wen a platform and wants to cooperate with Jiang Wen.
What to collaborate on?
Of course it’s Feng Pants!
"Director Li, what kind of movie do you think If You Are the One 2 is?"
"An advertising movie by an advertising master. Feng Pants is worthy of being an advertising master. The filming of this movie has not started yet. We are looking for investment." We only recruited 100 million and more than 30 advertisements, which is really impressive.”
“Director Li, your name is also considered to be an advertising film. What do you want to say about this?”
"If promoting the great rivers and mountains of the motherland is also an advertisement, I will shoot more in the future."
"Your Name has been released for more than half a month, and the box office has just exceeded 200 million. Regarding this box office, what do you think, Director Li? How about it."
"It's okay, I seem to be the youngest director in Chinese film history to have exceeded 100 million, and to have exceeded 200 million."
"Director Li, Do Not Disturb 2 is likely to break through. The record of a major earthquake has reached the top of the year. Are you ready for your 100 million?"
Li Mingyang glanced at the female reporter and grinned, "I have 100 million, but If You Are the One 2 can break it? One billion? Director Jiang is right when he says that there will be a domestic movie that exceeds one billion during the Lunar New Year holiday. It’s either him or me!”
Everyone was shocked.
Even Wang Changtian did not expect that Li Mingyang would break the billion record.
Is it feasible?
No one thinks that Your Name, which has been released for more than half a month, has the potential to exceed one billion. Everyone feels that Li Mingyang is looking up to Jiang Wen.
After all, Let the Bullets Fly is the movie most promising to surpass If You Are the One 2.
Let the bullets fly to reach the annual championship, and Li Mingyang naturally does not need to pay 100 million to Feng Pants.
