Chapter 184 Hurricane Box Office

...What's the good movie about that little bastard? Why should he suppress me?" Luo Tian got angry in the office, and almost everything he could smash in the office was smashed.

“…………………”

"Why are you still standing stupidly? Hurry up and find a way for me! You have to find a way to raise the box office of "Copper and Iron Bone" and beat me up "American Journey" hard! Damn, if this continues, I will not have the shame to go out to see people in the future!" Luo Tian roared loudly at his subordinates who were hiding in a corner of the office, afraid of being affected by Chi Yu.

"Boss..." "Say it! If you have a lot, please let me go. Why do you swallow it back?" Luo Tian gasped and said in annoyance: "I huā huā money to support you as a military advisor, but it's not something you can do to make you lose!"

"This, this" the military advisor stammered and couldn't speak for a long time.

What should he say? He has already done everything he should do. If he really thinks about a way to bring back a movie that has failed the box office, then he still has to work for others. He has already started a company and become a boss.

The film and television industry is not as good as other industries. All work is done well. In the end, it depends on movies. If the audience likes your movie, then it will make a big profit at the box office. If the audience doesn’t like it, then wait to lose money!

"What?" Luo Tian was furious and shouted: "Have you come up with a solution?"

The "Boss" military advisor said bitterly, saying: "Now that the movies have been released, we have done the things we have prepared, and we can never do better. As for hiring gunmen to discredit "American Journey" and praising "Bronze Bones", we never stopped for a moment, but that is completely useless. After all, we have to see the quality of the movie and say that our movies are not as good as others, and the box office is naturally not as good as others!"

"Barewell! I don't want to listen to the reasons. You just want to tell me if there is any way?" Luo Tian interrupted impatiently.

"...There's no way!" the military teacher answered honestly.

In fact, there are still ways, such as letting the cinema not play "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Bronze Bones" specifically, then you can naturally get the box office. Or just steal the box office directly. As long as the theater agrees, theoretically, both methods can turn the situation around.

But the question is, does Luo Tian have such ability? When the cinema opens the door to do business, it is impossible to save money from other people. Even if Luo Tian has such a great face, does he have so much money to subsidize the cinema? Also, "A Chinese Odyssey" has signed a screening contract with theaters. Does Luo Tian have so much money to pay the liquidated damages? If he doesn't do anything, why should the cinema help him?

"I'm!" Luo Tian was depressed and sad, almost vomiting blood.

Compared with Luo Tian, ​​who was so depressed that he was crazy, the Li brothers' company was full of joy.

"A Chinese Odyssey" is the first movie released by the Li Brothers Company on the surface. It has extraordinary significance. Its success or failure has a great impact on the morale of the company's employees.

Although "A Chinese Odyssey" has only been released for three days, according to this momentum, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion that the box office will start well, and it will be a matter of time before the celebration banquet will be held.

The only thing everyone is curious about is what level can "American Journey" eventually reach?

"You kid has been in the limelight recently? Do you have any thoughts?" Li Xiaohu asked Zhang Xiaoming, who was full of pride.

"Haha, I feel very satisfying!" Zhang Xiaoming smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "It's better to follow Hu Zi to film, make money and make reputation. I have finally suppressed the reputation of Ning Boya! By the way, those reporters have been asking me recently what postmodernism is, do you understand this?" "Uh, this postmodernism that is difficult to explain clearly is a very abstract concept, and there is no definite definition in the academic community." Li Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaoming curiously and smiled: "Since you don't understand postmodernism, how do you answer the reporter?" "You guess?" Zhang Xiaoming rolled his eyes.

Before Li Xiaohu was about to start filming "A Chinese Odyssey", he made people heat up the concept of postmodernism. This is also one of the reasons why "A Chinese Odyssey" didn't even preheat, and it was quickly accepted by the public. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether the audience could understand "A Chinese Odyssey".

In fact, even so, some viewers still think that "American Journey" is unknown and the filming is messy. Of course, this part of the audience is definitely only a small number, and they are mainly older audiences. Anyway, "American Journey" is mostly loved by young people, which is also the positioning audience of "American Journey". It is impossible for a movie to be loved by everyone. It is enough to please most of the audience.

Stephen Chow was hailed as a master of postmodern deconstructionism in his previous life, but in fact he only had a slight understanding of postmodernism. Now, Zhang Xiaoming has been given a title similar to Stephen Chow because of his wonderful performance in "A Chinese Odyssey". But he is just like Stephen Chow and knows nothing about postmodernism. This is a wonderful coincidence.

"Damn, there is no prompt, how can I guess?" Li Xiaohu also rolled his eyes.

"I mean that's how I answered reporters," Zhang Xiaoming laughed.

"Hmm?" Li Xiaohu was stunned for a moment.

"Guess?" Zhang Xiaoming held back his laughter and said, "That's how I answered the reporters, let them guess themselves!"

"Damn!" Li Xiaohu expressed contempt.

The next day, the reporters began to follow Li Xiaohu about postmodernism, because after interviewing Zhang Xiaoming, everyone has guessed that Zhang Xiaoming actually knows nothing about the so-called postmodernism... Then the title of postmodern deconstructionist master should obviously be more appropriate to director Li Xiaohu who created "A Chinese Odyssey".

"Postmodern films do not regard "dream-like perfect stories," logically meticulous dialogue, "closed structure, and "perfect ending, etc. as their ultimate goal. Postmodern works tend to break the stable mode of seeking commonality, but emphasize the unstable mode of difference. Specifically, the film no longer forces the story, the structure and the inner expression of the film text, and instead face the fractures, limitations, contradictions and instability at all levels of the film... "Li Xiaohu is actually a little sensible about this, but he can't resist his plug-ins. Many people have already analyzed postmodern films in detail in their previous life, and he just needs to follow the script.

Moreover, the public has now given the title of postmodern deconstructionist master on his forehead, and the words he said from his mouth are authority. Furthermore, entertainment journalists actually know more about postmodernism than Li Xiaohu, so they are naturally confused by Li Xiaohu's few words.

Li Xiaohu's previous movie "Nightclub" was criticized the most because of its lack of connotation. Although it achieved good box office results, it has always been criticized.

Now "A Chinese Odyssey" has launched the postmodern movie "The Story of the Mountain" flag. Who can say that it has no meaning? Who dares to say that Li Xiaohu doesn't understand the art of film?

The box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" continued to soar on the fourth day of its release, sweeping 48 million yuan in a single day, and "Copper and Iron Bone", which dropped the single-day box office to 12 million yuan, far away from eight major roads.

At this time, the cumulative domestic box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" had reached 100 million yuan in four days, which was worthy of its blockbuster style with an investment of over 100 million yuan.

"A Chinese Odyssey is a movie full of postmodernism techniques. It often hits the nail on the head in the language and actions of the world, and directly touches the essence of things..." "Many people say that this movie is good after watching "A Chinese Odyssey", but they don't understand where it is good. They always have to go to the cinema twice or even three times to truly understand its connotation. This is the most unique charm of "A Chinese Odyssey" and the charm of postmodernism!"

"If you don't understand what postmodernism is, it will be difficult for you to understand "American Journey"! If you never laugh, cry, and be silent for no one else, it means you don't understand "American Journey" at all! If you haven't watched it more than twice, don't say that you have understood "American Journey"!" "The young and famous genius director once again shines brightly, and the postmodern deconstructionist master Li Xiaohu personally spoke out to analyze "American Journey"..."

"The famous director Han Xiu spoke with Li Xiaohu, saying that postmodernist film will surely become a new subject of film art, enough to be written into the textbook of the director's discipline!"

"Taishan Beidou Tianfeng in the film industry did not hesitate to say anything, and praised his proud disciples and invited Li Xiao

Hu went to China Overseas Film Academy to give a speech, explaining the essence of postmodernism to all teachers and students in the school. The day after Li Xiaohu's speech, newspapers, magazines and other media once again caused a tide. Even the mentor Tian Feng specifically represented the college and formally invited Li Xiaohu back to give a speech.

This is difficult for Li Xiaohu. How much does he have? Don’t he know? Let him give speeches to the top students in the college, even many big directors and mentors. Isn’t this a way to put the shelves on the shelves? If he is exposed and cannot come out of the stage, it would be too embarrassing.

But there was no way, and the tutors came to invite them in person. Can Li Xiaohu say no?

Fortunately, the speech was not done just by saying it. Li Xiaohu still has enough time to prepare the so-called preparation, that is, searching for information related to previous lives or other people's speech videos, and then you can read the text according to the script.

Because of the media's fuel, the box office of "A Chinese Odyssey" continued to soar, and the single-day box office on the fifth day of its release actually soared to 55 million.

As for "Bronze and Iron Bone", it continued to decline, with a single-day box office of less than 10 million. However, a single-day box office of 7 million is still enough to stand out against other movies released at the same time. After all, it is a blockbuster with an investment of 80 million yuan. No matter how miserable it is, its box office competitiveness is always more than better than other small-produced movies.

At the beginning, the total box office of "Nightclub" was only 70 million, and it was already called a box office dark horse, which made the media exclaim. Now, "American Journey" has only one day's box office, which is very close to the total box office of "Nightclub", but no one said "American Journey" is a box office dark horse because "American Journey" is a blockbuster, and it is expected to achieve a high box office, and it cannot be considered an upset.

"There was once a sincere love that was placed in front of me, and I didn't cherish it. When I lost it, I regret it. The most painful thing in the world is this. Your sword is cut off from my throat! No need to hesitate anymore. If God can give me a chance to do it again, I will say three words to that girl, I love you, if I have to add a deadline to this love, I hope it is... ten thousand years!

When Supreme Treasure removed this huge lie, have you ever thought that he would make a promise? When he put on the golden hoop and recited this affectionate confession again, was his heart shattered and bloody?"

"I guessed the beginning, but couldn't guess the ending! Fairy Zixia's love for Supreme Treasure originated from the fact that he pulled out her Ziqing sword and determined that this marriage was arranged by God... When Fairy Zixia came to marry her hero, wearing golden armored sacred clothes and seven clouds, she came to marry her, was she looking forward to the Supreme Treasure or her hero in her heart? Does Fairy Zixia love Supreme Treasure, or the hero of her destiny in her mind?" "What everyone is talking about is the love between Fairy Zixia and Supreme Treasure, but why do they ignore Bai Jingjing who had first had a relationship with Supreme Treasure? It seems that she is the "original wife, ah?" "……………………………”

The discussion on "A Chinese Odyssey" on the Internet is getting more and more popular. As the release date goes on, many people have watched it over and over again. Once they have a new understanding, they can't wait to go online to share it with others.

In the temporary "American Journey" forum, in just a few days, the total number of posts has reached tens of thousands, and people are speaking and posting almost every moment. Many posts have even hits in hundreds of thousands or millions.

Many people have watched it once, but they have no intention of watching it again. At most, after the release of "American Journey" disc, they will buy another one and watch it slowly.

However, after seeing the hot discussions on the Internet, these viewers were infected and wondered whether they really didn't understand the movie, so they couldn't help but go to the cinema again.

"I have only watched "A Chinese Odyssey" once? Have you really understood this pioneering work of postmodernism?" "I haven't watched "A Chinese Odyssey" more than three times, which means you are not qualified to come here to discuss its connotation!" "……………………………”

Such words on the Internet are common, and some of them are fueled by the Li brothers' companies, but more of them are still hardcore fans of "A Chinese Odyssey" showing off their excellence.

It is undeniable that these comments have indeed brought a lot of repeat customers to "American Journey" and have also made considerable contributions to the box office of "American Journey".

It is precisely because of the many repeat customers that the box office of "American Journey" continues to explode very strongly. On July 2018, "American Journey" received a box office of 330 million yuan in this week. On average, it earned more than 45 million yuan every day, which was simply popular.

At this time, "A Chinese Odyssey" has been released for 10 days, and the domestic box office has exceeded 400 million. According to the domestic film sharing industry rules, the box office exceeds 2.5 times the cost, and then you can start to talk about profit. The production cost of "A Chinese Odyssey" is 100 million, plus 30 million promotional expenses. Even after sharing the share with theaters, Li Zai's brothers' company can still get about 35 million pure profits.

But this is just the beginning. "American Journey" has only been released for ten days. How many box offices will be received later will be profitable.

"A Chinese Odyssey" is so popular that "Bronze and Iron Bone", which was crazy about the competition with "A Chinese Odyssey", has been almost forgotten. The box office of 37 million yuan per week is not particularly disappointing, but without "A Chinese Odyssey", the box office of "Bronze and Iron Bone" will at least double. How can people not feel particularly disappointed with the current situation?

This is the consequence of the blockbuster crash. In the face of the unstoppable "A Chinese Odyssey", "Bronze and Iron Bone" was completely crushed to pieces. Judging from this situation, I am afraid there is no hope of making a profit.

Luo Tian was so depressed that he vomited blood. He had almost never even left the door recently. Even if he went out occasionally, he would never deal with the media.

Losing money for movies is nothing. Luo Tian has money and can afford it. Moreover, he is not the only investor of the movie. Other investors share the risks with him, and he can't lose much.

The most depressing thing is that as soon as the media asks, they will immediately associate "Copper and Iron Bones" with "A Chinese Odyssey". Some media even slap in the face, saying that they will not open to any pot,

Without saying a few words, Luo Tian’s bold words before the movie was released. It was a slap in the face, which often made him unable to get out of Taiwan and was so embarrassed.

Another person who had the intention to fight Li Xiaohu but changed his mind in time, Han Xiu didn't know how lucky he was at this time. Fortunately, "The Little Bride" was not irritable, otherwise he would be afraid that the ending would be much better than "Bronze and Iron Bone".

Whenever he thinks of this, Han Xiu can't help but feel a cold sweat on his vest. If he had just thought it was wrong and jumped out to fight Li Xiaohu in this arena, the consequences would be heartbreaking.

While Han Xiu was glad, he also secretly reminded himself that he must not compete with Li Xiaohu at the box office in the future. It is purely a search for death. If you want to win Li Xiaohu, you should decide the winner in terms of your ability to win the award.

It’s not that Han Xiu is self-deprecating, but that he no longer has any doubts about Li Xiaohu’s talent in commercial films. What he is good at is not commercial films. Using his own weaknesses and attacking the enemy’s strengths is not what he is seeking death?

Although Han Xiu stood up to support Li Xiaohu this time, the hostile relationship between the two has never changed at all. Han Xiu still regards Li Xiaohu as the enemy of life and death. The reason why he came out to waving the flag and shouting for "American Journey" is purely because he really likes the movie "American Journey" from the bottom of his heart. This guy is knowledgeable and talented, and his understanding of postmodernism is probably far above the initiator of Li Xiaohu.
