Chapter 90 The collapsed reputation
On the first day of "The Promise" premiere, there was almost no negative news.
The next day, Zhang Yimou's "Riding a Thousand Miles" was released.
The two top directors in China started head-on competition, and the audience was excited.
During the filming of "Time and Space Cruise", the actors were discussing the "Wuji" I watched yesterday.
"I don't know whether ordinary audiences can understand it or not. I think it's boring."
Chen Minghao said without any concealment.
Lin Nan took a stack of newspapers handed over by the staff, which also smelled of ink.
"If the audience can understand it, isn't there any letter?"
Lin Nan shook the daily newspaper in his hand.
Several starring actors gathered around.
"The Promise" is still breaking the box office record, and the single-day box office record has also been broken. I just don't know how much it can reach in the first weekend, but it is definitely no problem to break the record.
The film advertisement for "The Promise" sold a lot of money, and the chief sponsor Konka even paid an additional 30 million to help the movie tie up and promote it.
On the other hand, Zhang Yimou's "Riding a Thousand Miles" movie feedback is about to come out.
Chen Kaige suddenly left the newspaper, "I spent three years and worked hard, but ordinary people understand..."
Chen Kaige looked at the message in front of him with a frosty face.
Suddenly remembering something, Liu's mother hurriedly opened the suitcase for storing her passport. Sure enough, Liu Yifei took away her passport.
"What do ordinary audiences say? Is there any report?" Yan Danchen Zeng Li asked.
When Yan Danchen was thinking about this, Lin Nan was stunned. Even the film critics couldn't help but complain? Logically speaking, these people should be closer to Lao Chen!
Liu Yifei smiled and looked at the fat man in front of her, "Tom, I'm going back to the hotel. I'll see you again if you have the chance in the future."
Many old professors of Beijing Film Academy spoke out, "This is Zhang Yimou's return work. It is not that there is anything wrong with him making commercial films, but that this movie has completely reached the height he has reached in his previous literary films."
Tian Yu joked that he had become familiar with it during this period and was a bit more joking.
"If you don't go to watch it, just listening to others' comments on how bad director Kaige's new drama is, do you believe it?"
Chen Minghao, Tian Yu and others reacted suddenly and said with a smile: "I must go to the cinema to see it. I will judge for myself, where is the credibility of the international director?"
...
Lin Nan smiled and shook her head, not caring. Others received their reputations for twenty years. Although the negative reviews for two or three days were large-scale, they still did not affect the overall box office trend. It is estimated that they would have to ferment for another two or three days.
Removed makeup, changed clothes, and the three of them returned to the hotel.
"Director Lin, your first movie is not as much box office as others have in two days, I remember?"
"Yes, it's said that it's boring and empty. But I've recorded some funny lines, like: You ruined my chance to be a good person..."
...
"Go and ask about the progress, what movie investments I handled." Han Sanping ordered.
"Tom, you talk a lot."
Chen Minghao smiled and made an idea, and there were a group of people watching the fun.
Ignoring the shyness of the little girl, Tom continued, "As a friend, Crystal, I want to remind you kindly that I have been in Hollywood for many years. There are too many slutty bitches in the circle and they will stare at those fat meats. I think the same goes for yours. Lin Nan is too young. He is the very fat kind of fat meat. Do you know what I mean?"
Chen Minghao packed up and said, "Isn't this what makes the heroine look agile? Otherwise, why would a woman kill everyone else?"
...
As a great director from Beijing Film Academy, the college has little support or symbolic support for "The Promise", but is not stingy in commending "The Thousand Miles to Rider".
Zhongying and Han Sanping looked at the stack of newspapers on the table and the newly released negative voices on the Internet, and were a little irritated.
"Haha, Director Lin, delete his scenes..."
"Crystal, congratulations on the completion of the filming. Do you want to tell my boss about this good news?"
"Loess Land", "King of Children", "Singing While Walking", "Farewell My Concubine"... Along the way, he has been immersed in his family background and honor.
Industry insiders have a tacit collective silence this time, and the media can't open the mouths of these people at all. Only netizens and viewers enjoy imitating and mocking the lines inside.
Zhu Yawen laughed while reading, and most of the other staff members went to watch movies. They were originally engaged in this industry, and their minimum judgment ability was definitely stronger than that of ordinary people. They all recognized these reports now.
...
Several newspapers were instantly divided by everyone.
On the other side of the ocean, the crew of "Adventures in the Center of the Earth" completely uses digital 3D technology. In the huge green screen studio, the staff are busy. Liu Yifei finished the last part according to the director's requirements.
Lin Nan asked.
I have been here for more than a month. I originally thought I would adapt to the crew first, but in the end I magically started the filming in advance. Liu Yifei is the crew every day, and the hotel is at one line at two o'clock and one line. I will pay attention to domestic news when I rest.
His hand, which was holding the newspaper, shook lightly, and blue veins bulged on the back of his hand.
"no problem."
Han Sanping had a dark face. He could guess how much public opinion had an impact on box office trends.
Liu Yifei shook her head, "Tom, don't tell him."
"I've grown up and I have my own ideas. This personality looks like when I was young. You're going to tell me, will I disagree? I'm still alone..."
"Okay, Crystal, I have a hunch that you will become my boss."
Lin Nan continued to finish the movie and refused several requests from visiting the media to interview him about what he thinks of "The Promise". Isn't this digging a hole for himself?
Lin Nan stared at Zeng Li in the camera, killed the male lead neatly, dragged it to the deck, turned around and continued to look for the next target...
"Haha, it's probably quite laborious." Tian Yu smiled.
At the beginning, he opposed the public opinion and invested in "The Wild" in full by China Film. How confident he was at that time, he might face a lot of criticism.
"This is why the box office is still growing rapidly."
After calming down a little, Liu's mother sat by the bed, smiling helplessly.
“What you said makes sense.”
"The film critics wrote it in a tactful way: it is grand and eye-catching. It can be seen how hundreds of millions of dollars were burned. Although Director Chen is trying his best to pursue perfection, it is undeniable that the plot of "The Promise" is out of control, there is no priorities in the plot, and the performance is too exaggerated..."
Tom had a good impression of the girl in front of him, so he couldn't help but talk.
"We don't need time now," Lin Nan said kindly.
"I know this is a blockbuster, but its box office is too fierce. On the first weekend, it won 75 million in four days. This is still the mainland! Isn't the reputation that is so bad?"
"Oh, that's pretty fast, we can go back then."
"Oh my god, I can't speak, I should hit you."
"How is the daily box office?" Han Sanping asked.
Han Sanping has really become angry these days, and no one has come to share the pressure. He was the one who shouted strongly to support "The Promise", and even let China Film exclusive production domineeringly, so that now the result of being destined to be a loss can only be borne by China Film and Television.
Lin Nan specifically instructed the girl from the Eastern Constant in front of him to take care of Tom, as smart as him, and was already guessing the relationship between the two. It seemed that they were not relatives, but they were lovers?
The box office growth of "The Promise" has rapidly slowed down amidst the swearing, from nearly 20 million a day to over 10 million. The media's voices of dissatisfaction are gradually increasing, no longer limited to audiences and netizens.
"No need to thank you, just ask him to raise my salary." Tom smiled.
"Nearly 20 million, higher than the first day," said the secretary.
Liu Xiaoli looked at the notes on her daughter's desk and her face turned gloomy.
"I'll take a look."
Working for Lin Nan can save much more effort than other businesses, and the reward is not bad.
But how to intervene, the reports of traditional print media and Internet media have never been so unified. They are all considered as inferior and satirized "Wuji".
At the group meeting, someone raised this question. Fortunately, he was just a bet on filming, and he also created many profitable projects. It is not difficult to get through the current level, but the huge hole has to be repaired.
Han Sanping nodded gently, "It's okay, you go out."
"Senior Brother Chen, let's protect one of the shots just now and do it again."
After washing up, Liu Yifei looked young and beautiful, like an exquisite princess.
"Then you have to talk to him yourself." Liu Yifei smiled.
Tom is a qualified agent. When Liu Yifei joined the crew, he came to check it out from time to time.
"Damn girl, her wings are hard, she doesn't even say hello, just leave a note..."
There are a lot of investments hosted by Han Sanping, so you have to count on these projects now.
Even if there is income from patch advertising, Han Sanping will no longer have hope of making a profit. With an investment of 350 million yuan, unless Lao Chen can really reach the best foreign language film in the Oscars and make up for the box office in honor.
...
A trace of cunning flashed in Liu Yifei's eyes, "How many days will there be?"
Liu's mother asked again, she had never asked her daughter about the progress of the crew, and she also heard from the sporadic conversations of the staff that the movie was about to end.
Chen Hong just came to the group and hoped that China Film would come forward and interfere with the media's voice.
"Mom, where are those passports?"
"Yes, Mr. Han."
With her worries, Liu Yifei returned to the backstage, and Liu's mother and her assistant were waiting for her.
"Tsk tsk, look how good this is said: every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, 'Shabi-style dialogue', one word: stupid! Four words: mysterious! There is no climax, no emotion. If there is any emotion, it will only move the creator himself... Haha, I'm so laughing. Are this urban newspaper so dared to write?"
He had thought about it all. If Lin Nan decides to open a company or studio here, he will work for Lin Nan immediately.
Tian Yu patted his thighs and smiled so hard that he couldn't help himself.
Even Zeng Li smiled and agreed with Chen Minghao's words.
On the set, everyone looked incredible as they watched the data of "The Promise".
It’s easy to deal with the paper media. How to manage the Internet? Various posts and blogs cannot be processed at all, and even deleting posts cannot keep up with the speed and number of other people’s posts.
"Why are you asking about this? It's in the innermost box. By the way, the movie is about to be finished?"
Liu Yifei nodded seriously, "Thank you, Tom."
"Ka. Sister Li, it's quite difficult to drag Senior Brother Chen, haha."
As she was talking, Liu's mother smiled unconsciously, "Nothing is better than a daughter!"
While searching for the mobile phone number, Liu Xiaoli arranged for her assistant to prepare to buy a plane ticket.
For the leader: Haha I will update it too!
Seeking orders! Seeking monthly tickets!
Today I updated 16,000, and I didn’t break my promise! I’m shameless and asked for some reward! Thank you, bow.
Chapter completed!
