Chapter 282 Feng Xiaogang is dissatisfied
Zhang Chen has been browsing various news since he woke up, and was especially surprised when he saw Zhou Limin's column.
His first reaction was - this is flattery!
It’s Feng Xiaogang again, and it’s his own, what else is it if it’s not flattery?
But the admiration for "The Stone" in the article is also true. It recommended readers to read "The Stone" several times, claiming that if you don't read it, you will definitely regret it.
Zhang Chen can only say that if he is really flattering, then he will admit it.
This is not the future. Before Weibo came out, paper media was the most important propaganda position.
Anyone who can have a column in a print media has a certain influence.
Zhou Limin is one of the three major film critics today, and many people still believe in his recommendations.
This article by Zhou Limin will definitely contribute to the box office of "Stone".
Zhang Chen called Chen Xi and after confirming that Zhou Limin was not the person they arranged, it didn't matter.
Some people are willing to help spread the word, but they are happy before it is too late.
As for the inappropriateness of the words, who cares?
But Zhou Limin’s discussion angle opened a window for everyone. Before, most people just thought the movie was good-looking and never thought about it from the perspective of a comedy.
Now comparing it with the article, it seems that this is really the case~
Gradually, there were more and more related discussions.
Many people have already called Ning Hao the title ‘comedy successor’.
Ning Hao seems to have become a popular figure in the mainland comedy industry overnight.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the first weekend box office of "Stone" was finally released - 24 million.
"Seven Swords" is still slightly better than it - 27 million.
"Stone" is slightly inferior to "Seven Swords", but it is actually a big win.
"Stone" has always claimed that the cost was 8 million, but in fact, due to the release of "Seven Swords", additional publicity expenses were added later, reaching 12 million.
But according to the current trend, the money will be recovered soon.
But "Seven Swords", with a cost of 140 million, and so many big stars, including Lai Ming, Donnie Yen, Yang Caini, Lu Yi, Sun Honglei, and Zhang Jingchu, the box office is only 2 million more than "The Stone" , this is definitely a loss.
And according to the current trend, it may be difficult for "Seven Swords" to break 100 million. If the domestic box office is not good, then the overseas copyright will not be easy to sell, and it will be even harder to recover the cost.
Zhang Chen felt very happy when he saw it. Now Ciwen Media is probably regretting it. Why did he raise the profile in the first place and end up like this?
Of course, "Stone" did not meet his expectations.
He wants "The Stone" to break 100 million and replicate the success of "Shark Beach".
It seems a bit difficult now. After all, the number of domestic screens is not enough. If two popular movies are released at the same time, they will definitely have to divert each other.
But fortunately there is still a chance, he still has methods that are useless, and the reputation of "Stone" is much higher than that of "Seven Swords".
Regarding "The Stone", it has a good reputation. People have never seen such a movie. After watching it, they just feel that they have become more advanced. They spontaneously recommend it to their relatives and friends, which is commonly known as "tap water".
"Seven Swords" has mixed reviews. Some people think it is very interesting, while others think it is boring. Generally speaking, there are too many descriptions of weapons in the first half of the movie, which feels like it is putting the cart before the horse.
But the publisher, Polybona, has been working hard to control comments, so there is no obvious difference between the two.
In Xingchen Entertainment, Zhang Chen was flipping through the newspapers, wanting to see the media's attitude towards "The Stone".
He read several newspapers in succession and found that almost every newspaper mentioned the relationship between Ning Hao and Feng Xiaogang. He couldn't help but ask Chen Xi, "Did you arrange this?"
"Yeah" Chen Xi nodded: "I saw that the comments in this area were quite popular, so I hired some people to continue the hype..."
Zhang Chen nodded. This was actually a bit too much for Feng Xiaogang, but it doesn't matter. Didn’t Feng often touch others when his movies were released?
......
Early morning, Feng Mansion
Feng Xiaogang walked down with his slippers, and Xu Fan was busy in the kitchen.
"Wake up, wash your face, and get ready to eat~"
Xu Fan greeted Feng Xiaogang while putting breakfast on the table. After a while, Feng Xiaogang finished washing and sat at the dining table.
Picked up the peeled egg, took a bite, and then tasted the millet porridge.
Feeling a little bland, I took another bite of pickles.
After taking two mouthfuls of porridge, Feng Xiaogang habitually started looking for the remote control.
“What are you looking for?”
“Remote control, watch the news~” Feng Xiaogang replied casually.
“Don’t look at it, I have a headache, it’s so disturbing~”
“Oh~”
Feng Xiaogang agreed and continued to drink porridge. After taking a few sips, he asked: "What about the newspaper? I read the newspaper. Just eating is a bit boring..."
Xu Fan said again: "The newspaper today It hasn’t been delivered yet.”
At this time, there are very few people ordering newspapers.
To understand the consultation, everyone is still used to watching TV, Asahi Shimbun and so on.
Feng Xiaogang’s family subscribes to newspapers, but they are also entertainment newspapers, mainly to understand some things in the industry.
Hearing that there was no newspaper either, Feng Xiaogang curled his lips and continued eating.
The two of them finished their breakfast while chatting casually. Xu Fan put away the dishes and Feng Xiaogang took advantage of the situation and sat on the sofa.
Successful men rarely do housework, and Feng Xiaogang is no exception.
Pull out a cigarette, Feng Xiaogang was ready to become a living god, and was looking for a fire when he accidentally saw a newspaper pressed under the coffee table.
The newspaper only showed a corner, but Feng Xiaogang was just curious.
Xu Fan keeps everything organized at home, and everything has its own place, but there is no place for newspapers under the coffee table.
Curious, Feng Xiaogang pulled out the newspaper and found that it was from today.
Didn’t you say it wasn’t delivered?
Feng Xiaogang continued to smoke and found that there was not just one copy, but many copies, all from today.
What's going on?
A suspicion arose in Feng Xiaogang's heart. He glanced at Xu Fan, who was still washing dishes in the kitchen, spread out a newspaper and started reading.
Not long after watching, his face froze, then he changed to another one, and not long after, his face froze again...
Change again~
Again Change~
Now he finally understood why Xu Fan hid the newspaper and refused to let him watch TV, because he was afraid that he would know these comments from the media.
[Feng Xiaogang’s talents are exhausted, and Ning Hao finally becomes the leader of the new generation of comedy]
[Ning Hao takes over as the Godfather of Comedy]
[The savior of Chinese comedy]
[ "Stone" finally became the king of domestic comedy】
In the living room, the sound of newspapers was buzzing.
Xu Fan, who had finished washing the dishes, stood in the aisle with an embarrassed look on his face and looked at his livid husband on the sofa...
He still didn't escape after all!
At this time, Feng Xiaogang felt a sense of injustice in his chest. After watching "The Stone" that day, he had a vague sense of crisis. Before he could do anything, the media had already begun to advocate that Ning Hao would replace him. .
What, I am not old yet, I am about to withdraw from the stage of history?
Then he saw Zhou Limin’s column and became furious. My black humor is not as good as Ning Hao’s. I still want to learn from him?
The little gangster couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, you don't even understand multi-line narrative, why are you pretending to be a film critic?"
