This director is very reliable

Chapter 141 Discussion (third update)

"Left Ear" earned 4200 million on the first day, 6900 million on the second day, and 6300 million on the third day...

In the first three days, the cumulative box office exceeded 1.74 million...

Don't worry, the New Year's Day holiday plus the weekend has a total of four days of holidays. Monday is still a legal holiday.

On January 1nd, "Left Ear" received another 2 million in a single day, which was similar to Shen Changlin's prediction. In the first four days, it collected 5600 million!
The road show of the crew has expanded to 22 cities!
In addition to the eight ticket warehouse cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wucheng and Hangzhou that must be visited, second-tier cities such as Changsha, Nanchang, Hefei, etc. were added by the way...

One city a day, at least three games, seven more games.

Teams run for two or three days, and the two teams run together for a day, and then run separately.

Every day is not on the plane, or in the car, every day is a road show meeting, and then autograph...

According to Liu Shishi's complaint: It's much more tiring than filming!

In the first few days, I saw the box office soaring, and the fans I met in every show were extremely enthusiastic. Later, on the way in and out of the movie theater, I was even blocked by enthusiastic fans...

Everyone is in high spirits.

Then more and more lack of rest, body tired...

Lie down as soon as you get in the car...

When I got on the plane, I didn't even bother to chat in daily life, so I just closed my eyes...

Shen Changlin was distressed and funny: "I have good news for you!"

"What good news?"

"I heard from Zhao Shan that a lot of film crews and companies came to you, and they all entrusted her to her. Guess how much they paid for the film?"

"How would I know...Lao Cai is busy with the review of "Da Mo Yao" right now, so he doesn't have time to talk to me..."

"The Ballad of the Desert has passed the review?"

"Well, I heard..." Shi Shi and Shen Changlin had a chat about "The Ballad of the Desert". It was still the fault of the original work. It was targeted by "netizens", and various letters were requested to ban it...

"I'm telling you...Shi Shi?"

Well, there was a snoring sound on the other end of the phone, so she probably fell asleep...

Really hard work!
Shen Changlin also hung up the phone, and then went back to the restaurant, there is a dinner tonight, not with outsiders, Wang Changtian treats!
……

Wang Changtian is really proud of himself this year. Guangguang successfully went public. His net worth was revealed to be 45 billion RMB. He is the richest private media company...

Lao Wang is different from the Huang brothers, the latter really 'understand' life!
10 hours of sleep a day.

I sleep until 11 o'clock every day, and when I come to the company, I just drink tea, chat with people, and then go to the company to have a casual lunch, and then have a lunch break.In the afternoon, he continued to go to the company to drink tea and chat, and in the evening he started to prepare for the party!

I seldom go to the office to work, and I always spend time chatting with people in teahouses and restaurants.

It is said that many major decisions were made while he was drinking red wine and smoking cigars.

He thinks he understands life, likes riding and collecting horses, and is willing to spend a lot of money. He spent 3000 million yuan to build a horse club and raised more than 60 thoroughbred horses, each priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars.He is keen on collecting paintings, and his act of spending a lot of money to collect world famous paintings has made him famous!
Lao Wang can't do it anymore. He has to go to work every day, and he brings food to work, and he eats it after heating it in the microwave at noon.

I like food, and I drive around with my colleagues and friends every day after get off work to find delicious food.

Like Shen Changlin, he likes to drink tea, but Shen Changlin only drinks green tea, he mainly drinks strong tea.

Anyway, if Shen Changlin is looking for him, he will definitely be able to find him in Guangguang's office.

After all, Guangguang also suffered losses this year——Zhang Zhao left!
Zhang Zhao is the founder of Enlight Films. The ground network distribution of Enlight was created by Zhang Zhao, and the directors in Hong Kong also cooperated with Enlight for his sake.

This is also the reason why Yuanshikong and Guangguang invested in Xu Zheng - lack of projects.

But this time and space are different. The appearance of Shen Changlin quickly made up for Zhang Zhao's departure, and the few projects he led were almost all hits!
Needless to say, "Big Man" and "Xiu Chun Knife: Asura Battlefield", "Left Ear" grossed 2.3 million in the first four days!
Wang Changtian's own prediction for "The Left Ear" is that the box office will exceed [-] million...

It is reasonable to make such a prediction based on the cast lineup and investment scale, but "Left Ear" shocked him again.

Wang Changtian felt that he didn't understand the market a little bit, and it was necessary to have a good chat with Shen Changlin...

There has been a heated discussion in the industry about the huge sales of "Left Ear".

Most people don't understand why "Left Ear" is such a hit. From a film perspective, "Left Ear" is... mediocre.

Leaving aside the stares and pans of the script structure and the mechanical language of the camera, we only look at the emotions that can move people's hearts and make judgments fuzzy.

"Those Years" piled up by typical characters and typical events has a more obscene sense of pattern than Guo Xiaosi, but it does not condone hypocrisy into a style.

It's not as good as "Those Years", let alone "Sunny Day" - the summer of shooting bricks in "Sunny Day", what people remember most clearly is the sun that was too bright in the summer, boring and long with nothing to do , only the pursuit of shooting girls is left.

Especially as the movie became a big hit, more and more people went to the movie theater trying to watch this domestic film that set a box office record, and came to the conclusion: hypocritical, bloody, and of course confusion: why such a movie can sell so well?
Could it be a big hit if it is adapted from Shen Changlin's original work?
Even though Shen Changlin, including director Su Lun, clearly stated in the interview that "Left Ear" is dedicated to all fans who have read the original "Left Ear"! ’, it doesn’t work, because the movie itself is aimed at the public.

The word-of-mouth score of "Left Ear" has dropped to 6.2 points, and more and more people have given negative reviews. "China Film Report" specially interviewed the audience. A fat boy wearing glasses said: "My youth is not Such!"

Once again, the audience complained...

But "Left Ear" is still a big hit...

……

By the way, Lao Wang has the idea of ​​becoming a shareholder of Changlin Film and Television - direct inclusion!
Binding Shen Changlin is like Hua Yi and his pants.

However, this idea was only proposed, but was rejected by Shen Changlin: "I have no plan to deeply bind any film and television company, because I am not sure that every movie of my own will be a big hit... It is better not to cheat on partners!"

Seeing his firm attitude, Wang Changtian stopped talking about this topic: "I think the IP you mentioned in the last interview is very interesting!"

"Let me give you an example. Journey to the West is the most famous IP adaptation film and television project. So many big companies are keen to adapt this, definitely not because it can tell a better story—it's all because of its excellent monetization model."

"Monetization mode?"

"The original work has a broad foundation and has a reserve audience."

"Is this how "Left Ear" works?"

"Almost..." Smiling, Shen Changlin asked back: "Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to explain the reason why "Left Ear" is so popular. Could it be that "Left Ear" is really a great movie?"

Wang Changtian also smiled...

From a movie point of view, "The Left Ear" is obviously very mediocre, with a bloody plot and a slightly hypocritical narration...

But it was a hit!
"You mean, according to this model, how many more blockbuster works can be produced?"

"...It's possible, but I guess as the audience's aesthetic level improves, this genre will soon be abandoned by them... After all, movies should still speak for themselves." By the way, he added: "And "The Left Ear" Sell, we use the most popular actors."

Wang Changtian nodded in agreement: "Yes, "Far Cry" can have a box office of 50 million, and the power of idols should not be underestimated!"

"You mean fans, right?"

"Yes, yes, the power of fans..." Speaking of this, Wang Changtian suddenly frowned slightly: "It seems that "Eight Stars Hug Xi" used Yang Xiaomi?"
