Chapter 53 "House of Flying Daggers" has a poor reputation
But if you think about it, you will understand why Fan Binbin is in trouble.
This drama is Wang Jing’s ambitious work, and the actors used are all top-notch actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Xie Biwang won’t talk about it anymore. "China Entertainment Report" will broadcast news about him every day. If there is no news, it will take out yesterday’s old news and talk about it again. In short, as long as the news is about him, there will be people Willing to look.
Cheung Weijian is also amazing. Although he is not a first-rate actor on Hong Kong Island, he is definitely a top actor in the mainland.
The cool wind is calm, the autumn moon is boundless, and I feel like the days are like years...
He still remembers these lyrics even after he was reborn.
He almost dominated the mainland screens around 2000.
"Happy Dragon", "Smart Little Understanding", "Young Fang Shiyu", "Young Zhang Sanfeng", "Chess Warriors", "Xiaobao and Kangxi", "Corucopia"...
It can be said that at this stage His drama is a guarantee of ratings, not to mention it is with King Xie Bi.
From this point of view, it is understandable that Fan Binbin is entangled. After all, he is working with the famous director Wang Jing and these two popular fried chickens. Such opportunities are rare.
"Okay, October is October. By the way, Teacher Binbin, can you swim?"
"Yes, and it's pretty good. I was on the swimming team when I was a kid." Fan Binbin answered very proudly.
“Great, what about surfing?”
Fan Binbin knew that Zhang Chen was checking whether she was suitable for the role, because the heroine in the script was a shark attack that she encountered while surfing. .
"Yes, but the level is very average."
"It's enough to know how to do it. Then, Teacher Binbin, we have agreed that as soon as you finish filming over there, I will start the filming here."
Zhang Chen hung up the phone, and Fan Binbin let out a long sigh. In fact, she didn't know how to surf at all, but under the circumstances, she could only say that she did.
After so many years in the industry, she is sure of one thing: no director has a good temper.
Everyone who can be a director has some talent, and talented people have more personality.
The schedule issue has already made the other party unhappy once. If we make the other party unhappy again because we don't know how to surf, the cooperation may immediately fall through.
So Fan Binbin has to say yes no matter what. The worst he can do is find a coach to attack for two days after this is over.
Fan Neng has today's status because he has a ruthless spirit in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to become a big flower.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chen remembered that he had forgotten to ask Fan Binbin for a swimsuit photo.
There are only two main characters in "Shark Beach", the surfer girl and the shark.
Surfer girls are the only heroines, and they must have a good figure. Zhang Chen wanted to take photos in swimsuits mainly to prepare some suitable props in advance for Fan's figure.
For example, the orange underwear of Blake Lively, the heroine of "Shark Tank" in the original time and space, is very eye-catching.
Don’t underestimate the purchasing power of Laosepiao.
For the last movie "Dark Invasion", he was sure that some viewers didn't like watching horror movies at all, but they were attracted to Che Xiao's face and Zeng Li's long legs on the poster. Entering the cinema.
Not long after, Fan Binbin received another email in his mailbox:
Teacher Binbin, if it is convenient, please send me some recent swimsuit photos for formal purposes.
Looking at this email, Fan Binbin smiled.
It’s still for regular use, what can you do if it’s not? Do you want to use biubiu?
However, she still found a few of the most beautiful swimsuit photos from the album, and was about to send them, but just before she clicked the button, she accidentally added a special one. The photo was hers. Collection, the scale is slightly larger, the outline of the back of the red fruit can be vaguely seen from the side.
I’m not afraid. The worst case scenario is that I’m going to snap at the photo.
Zhang Chen was looking at each one one by one, and he commented unconsciously: Well, it's a little small, and it doesn't have that awkward feeling. Then his hand shook unconsciously. What is this, a hint from Teacher Binbin?
Obviously nothing is revealed, but it gives people unlimited room for imagination and grasps the man's little thoughts tightly.
......
Outside, "House of Flying Daggers" is currently in theaters. It has been in theaters for ten days, with a cumulative box office of 104 million, including 55 million in the first three days and 55 million in the second week. The seven-day box office is 49 million...
This number is significantly lower than Zhang Weiping's estimate. He originally thought it would surpass "Hero". He had previously boasted of 500 million, but now it seems that it is simply impossible.
Generally speaking, the first weekend box office is about one-third of the total box office. According to this calculation, the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" will only be 150 million in the end, which he cannot accept in any case. of.
But the outside world is not optimistic about the prospects of "House of Flying Daggers". The combination of Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Zhang Ziyi did not attract many viewers to the theater. In addition, the reputation was sparse, and the media also received a lot of bad reviews. , many people are scolding.
The attitude of the media will eventually affect the choices of moviegoers, which will in turn affect the movie theater schedule.
When Zhang Chen saw these news, he knew that "House of Flying Daggers" would definitely be the same as in history, with the final box office being less than 160 million.
Zhang Weiping was very crazy before. He used "House of Flying Daggers" to negotiate with various theaters to increase their share of the movie, and would not give you the film if the share of the movie was not increased.
The theater chains gave in and increased their share, but the final box office was not ideal.
Ah Mou was also criticized. The eight-minute BJ at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics was scolded as vulgar and insulting to traditional culture. "House of Flying Daggers" continued to be scolded, saying that he had exhausted his talent. The key is that there are still people using him to hype him up.
A plastic surgery hospital found a group of so-called "cultural people" to hold a seminar. The theme of the seminar was to criticize Zhang Yimou, and the media followed suit and reported randomly.
"Zhang Yimou runs counter to art"
"Zhang Yimou bows to money"
"Ambush from all sides, gorgeous cultural garbage"
"Nortel's Shame"
The titles are very exciting, the media does not care about plastic surgery hospitals Why do they hold cultural seminars? They don't care that the so-called cultural people are actually some 'plastic surgery experts' and have nothing to do with the cultural world. They only care about news.
Criticizing Zhang Yimou is news. If there is news, there will be hot spots. If there is hot spots, there will be bonuses.
So these are also a bunch of immoral people.
Zhang Yimou is also in bad shape, being used for consumption and speculation by a group of unrelated people.
The media's willingness to report, coupled with the Olympic BJ 8 Minutes and "House of Flying Daggers", gradually formed a wave of national criticism.
A reporter wanted to interview Amou, but they couldn’t find him at all. He was in Athens.
Then they found Zhang Weiping, and after asking a few questions, Zhang's face darkened.
Some reporters asked him: You previously claimed that "House of Flying Daggers" cost 260 million, but now the box office is up to 150 million. What do you think?
What do I think? I stand and watch...
Zhang Weiping walked away with a dark face. These bugs wanted to open the wound and sprinkle salt on it because they wanted to see him lose money. ah.
On the Internet, netizens with good intentions dug out the words Zhang Chen used to criticize him in "Super Interview".
How could a box office of 260 million be possible...
The courage that Liang Jingru gave him...
Zhang Weiping was filled with hatred, but he couldn't think of any good solution. "House of Flying Daggers" had no way to save it, and the DVD copyright sale was not smooth.
Before, the DVD copyright of "House of Flying Daggers" was highly sought after, and the distributors were chasing him every day. Later, it was his offer of 20 million that temporarily scared them away.
Nowadays, the movie has a poor reputation and a box office failure. Zhang Weiping is in urgent need of recovery. The price has dropped again and again, but no one is interested. It has already dropped to 5 million and still no one is buying it.
