This director is very reliable

Chapter 13 Hustle and Calm

From the beginning of the promotion of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Shen Changlin has been keeping a low profile...

Compared with his previous arrogant image in the media and on the Internet, it is very different.

After all, he 'criticized' other directors before. In other works, he was all kinds of impassioned and impassioned, pointing out the style of the country.

In fact, many people in the industry don't have much expectation for "Xiu Chun Knife" - high-sightedness and low-sightedness exist in any industry!
Moreover, Shen Changlin is too smooth. As a writer, he was admitted to the director department of Nortel, and his graduation work was a theater movie with a production cost of 20 million. Deng Chao + Li Lianhua were invited!
Be more or less jealous!
Therefore, many people bought tickets to enter the cinema with a picky mentality...

Then I came to the same conclusion as Zhou Liming: it is a very serious costume film, incorporating many genre elements.The setting of the plot and the setting of the plight of the characters have all been thought out.The performances of several main actors are good, the plot is flawed, and the overall performance is acceptable.

As a director's debut, it can be called a surprise!
Of course, the role of film critics may not be as big as imagined, at least on the entire Internet, there are "director Shen Changlin's debut film "Xiu Chun Knife" detonated a movie-watching frenzy, and the box office on the first day was close to 3000 million" or "3000 million on the first day, "Xiu Chun Knife" Under the background of "Spring Knife" setting a new box office record for domestic films, it doesn't matter whether the reviews are objective or not...

"Shen Changlin is worthy of the name of genius!"

"I watched "Embroidered Spring Knife": the best martial arts film in China in recent years, bar none!"

"A story that is astonishingly talented! Praise for "Xiu Chun Knife"!"…

The publicity team and the publisher had a brief discussion, and then an additional 500 million publicity funds...

Thus, the phenomenon of "Xiu Chun Knife" getting rave reviews was created!

This is not very accurate. The premise is that the movie itself is not bad. If the movie itself is hip, no matter how much money is given, it will be difficult to brag about it...

Right, Shanghai Fortress?
The results of the first day of "Xiu Chun Knife" are released, and most people in the industry probably won't be able to sleep, especially "Unmanned Driving" and "Xi You Ji" who competed with "Xiu Chun Knife"...

The upper limit of the market is here. "Xiu Chun Dao" was a big hit on the first day, and its reputation is not bad, and it will definitely go all the way after that.

"Unmanned Driving" and "Xi You Ji" may not care, but the box office of "The King of Guns" was cut in half-on July 7, the single-day box office did not reach 3 million!
But what do they do?Nothing can be done, the movie is already out!
At most, find a few sailors to discredit it, or secretly curse the light for shit luck...

Hehe, I overestimated the lower limit of these people!

The publisher of "The King of Guns" has published a statement saying that ""Xiu Chun Knife" is the only one, affecting the balance of the film'...

Well, find faults from the row.

However, this matter has not been fermented at the moment, after all, the whole network is full of ""Xiu Chun Knife" stunning appearance"...

Speaking of Guangguang, Wang Changtian was also very excited. His initial box office prediction for "Xiuchun Knife" was 8000 million to [-] million yuan. It can make money, but not much...

Again, subject matter.

But judging from the results of the first day, "Embroidered Spring Knife" scored at least 2.5 million!
2000 million cost, 1000 million publicity, 3000 million in exchange for 2.5 million box office...

Set a record for the highest return on investment in light.

For Shen Changlin, "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a head shot that is loud enough!

After this battle, Shen Changlin has completely entered the ranks of famous directors, and he is still a famous director.

After all, at this stage, there are really not many movies that can make money.

Especially in the mainland, except for A Mou, pants, Ning Hao, and then nothing!
Anyway, from now on, once Shen Changlin's second movie is announced to start shooting, there will be no problem with the funding. Even if he doesn't want to make a movie, the capital will rush him...

However, Shen Changlin didn't understand these things...

After all, in his era, breaking [-] million on the first day was considered a basic operation!

I really didn't think how great I was, and, to put it bluntly, he didn't make this movie at all!
I just posted two Weibo posts, read the comments on the Internet, and fell asleep on the sofa—too tired!

By the way, for this round of publicity, only Shen Changlin is needed...

The actors had other plans.

……

At [-]:[-], Shen Changlin went downstairs to have breakfast. The restaurant is self-service. Shen Changlin took the food and saw a group of people waiting for him. He was a little surprised: "So early?"

Just after saying hello, Shen Changlin's face changed slightly, before he could speak, Guo Songjiang said: "It's okay, you eat yours, the earliest activity won't start until nine o'clock..."

"Then why did you get up so early?"

Only then did Shen Changlin feel relieved, he lowered his head and started eating buns...

Chen Jing noticed that Shen Changlin's food was delicious, and his complexion was also very good. He was obviously not as tired as the previous few days, so he couldn't help but said, "Director, you are too good. I haven't slept much all night. Why are you so tired?" To be so calm?"

"...didn't sleep? Are you not sleepy?"

Well, Chen Jing's face is full of excitement!

The box office of "Embroidered Spring Knife" broke the record of domestic films on the first day. Although most of them are because of Shen Changlin's name, the promotion side also benefited a lot...

"Aren't you asking the question knowingly? We set a record..."

Shen Changlin raised his head, shook his head and said, "...2800 million, to be honest, it didn't meet my expectations..."

"... "

"I always feel that there should be 3500 million to 4000 million on the first day. It seems that I overestimated my appeal!"

Shen Changlin's tone was very flat, and his expression was very sincere...

Well, he really thought so. Compared with Guo Jingming's "Little Times" with 7700 million on the first day, the first-day score of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is not even half of his...

Of course, the number of screens is different, so judging from the number of screenings, "Embroidered Spring Knife" has more than [-] screenings, and "Little Times" should have [-] screenings on the first day if I remember correctly...

In proportion, Shen Changlin is weaker than Guo Jingming!
A few people shut up and didn't know how to answer...

It seems to feel the birth of a king.

After Shen Changlin had finished his breakfast, Guo Songjiang asked, "Changlin, how much box office do you think our movie can make?"

"...should be able to exceed [-] million..."

"Why is it only 2800 million, we already have [-] million on the first day!"

"That's right, "If You Are the One" only made 1700 million on the first day, but the total box office is close to 3 million!"

"Our word of mouth is not bad, I think at least [-] million!"

"Well, I think so too... I just received the news that today's film schedule has reached 55%, and more than [-] shows have been given!"

Shen Changlin interrupted the chattering discussion of several people, "Don't you guys check the schedule? "Tangshan Earthquake" will be released on July 7!"

Then a group of people said again: "You think too highly of pants!"

"...That is, I don't think "Tangshan Earthquake" is necessarily comparable to our "Embroidered Spring Knife"..."

No, where does your confidence come from?

Well, they're not reborn...

Thinking of this, Shen Changlin got up: "Forget it, I'll go back to my room and get ready."

"what to prepare?"

"Didn't you invite Han Han?"

"Okay, you get ready..." Guo Songjiang nodded, then seemed to think of something, looked at Shen Changlin, and said calmly: "By the way, let me tell you something, Lianhua is also here, she will participate in all the next trips !"

"Who?"

"Li Lianhua..."

Shen Changlin was not calm anymore, and swallowed: "Isn't she in Hong Kong?"

Guo Songjiang shrugged: "The movie is a big hit, it's normal for someone to help promote it as the heroine!"
