This director is very reliable

Chapter 186 1.5 million in the first weekend that no one cares about (fifth update)
The roadshow continues...

In addition to answering questions from reporters, there are also questions and answers from the audience!
Some viewers got up: "I know you hate "NF Weekend", but I still like it. I don't know how to comment on NF Weekend. Many negative news were exposed by NF Weekend, and many fake negative news were fabricated by NF Weekend~ "

Shen Changlin smiled: "This era belongs to the era of flooding information. There are more and more media channels, and it is easier to obtain information. However, due to fragmented reading and information isolation, some media will not report in full in order to attract attention. Yes, how to distinguish whether it is true or false depends on your own speculation. I think in our era, if you don’t know how to identify valid information, then you are no different from illiterate! You have to have your own independent judgment , don’t follow others’ advice.”

"Director, I don't think my filming of "Search" is deep enough..."

"Yes, it's really not deep. I also saw criticisms on the Internet, saying that this movie is like Gao Yuanyuan's dynamic photobook!"

I didn't say the whole thing, the whole article is: Shen Changlin must be in love with Gao Yuanyuan, otherwise, why make a dynamic photo album with great fanfare?

"Director, I find that I don't seem to sympathize with Ye Lanqiu, is this my problem?"

"...No, this is my problem. When I was writing the screenplay, I deliberately removed the tragic factors in Ye Lanqiu. At first, I thought about not explaining the fact that Ye Lanqiu's cancer is terminal, but using various small details to hint. Wouldn’t it be more interesting for the audience to learn the truth at the end of the film? But I still gave up this method of filming.”

"The audience is an outsider of the movie. Because the movie itself is not to reveal the reason why the seat is not given up, but to highlight the harm caused by online human flesh searches to the parties, so there is no need to use this as a clue to let the audience guess. The audience It’s the audience, and it’s only when the audience knows the truth that other people in the movie don’t make it more disturbing.”

"I think it's a bit exaggerated. It's just a case of giving up seats. As for suicide?"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "...I asked Yang Shoucheng to tell me, they watched the sunrise together, and Yang Shoucheng said, they wouldn't believe what you said. Yang Shoucheng said, now they can't even wash themselves off by jumping into the Yellow River! These two sentences The words overwhelmed her..."

……

During the road show, the audience focused more on the discussion of the plot. In fact, the publicity team was also working hard to analyze the plot.

Similar to 'Why did Ye Lanqiu choose to commit suicide', 'The relationship between Shen Liushu and Ye Lanqiu', 'Is Yang Jiaqi behind the scenes'...

A bunch of analysis are put on Weibo and Douban
Take the rhythm, let the audience who have seen it deeply participate, let the audience who have not watched it be interested, and then buy tickets...

Shen Changlin himself also posted a diagram of the relationship between the characters, as well as the timeline of the events of Sister Sunglasses.

Of course, the reason why so many mysterious plots are designed is not for the sake of depth and connotation, but mostly because of the needs of publicity and marketing.

This is a propaganda method following the example of "Inception".

——The more interpretations, the more heated the debate will be, and the more beneficial it will be to the subsequent box office trend.

Shen Changlin participated in every stop of the road show.

After all, he is the main propagandist, and the actors mainly participate in some variety shows...

The star lineup led by Deng Chao and Gao Yuanyuan is also enough to attract the attention of the media and the public.

Deng Chao cooperated very well, mentioning Sun Li and her son on various occasions, which attracted a lot of attention.

In the early morning of the 5th, the crew arrived in Chengdu...

Going to the hotel for a night of recuperation, Shen Changlin finally had time to understand the current situation of "Search".

How did Search fare at the box office?
4100 million on the first day, 5800 million on the second day, 5200 million on the third day, 1.51 million on the first weekend...

This is a very good data.

"Word of mouth is very good. Our next job is to keep the box office running at a high level and give full play to the long-tail advantage of high word of mouth!"

"A good reputation does not mean a high box office!"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Whether the box office can be a hit depends on two factors: type track, schedule hunger and thirst...Word of mouth determines the upper limit, genre and star cast determine the lower limit!"

The genre upper limit of "Search" is obvious. Even if it is directed by Shen Changlin, common sense infers that it will be in the early 3 million at most...

Because this thing is not a commercial film for the public at all!

Drama movies, in themselves, do not belong to the type of track that sells well.

Chen Jing nodded: "Of course we know, but we want to try, maybe we can break [-] million..."

"It's hard...but try your best~"

Shen Changlin got up and was about to go back to his room, then Chen Jing said, "You'd better not blame the media for our future publicity..."

"They're looking for you?"

"Well... it's a beg for forgiveness..."

Shen Changlin smiled: "I didn't intend to say more, I'm just a director..."

……

About "Search" including his conflict with 'NF Weekend'...

In fact, there were not many reports, and the enthusiasm of the media and the public was all focused on finding fault.

Who is to blame?Of course it was the southern media, so a bunch of old stuff was released...

I was very speechless, I just wanted to promote the movie.

Shen Changlin is just a director, he is not a leftist...

An embarrassing sum.

The development of public opinion is a bit out of line with expectations, even Da Meiyuan complained that he shouldn't be bombarding Southern Weekly...

Shen Changlin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Didn't I just follow my tongue... something that left a deep impression on me."

"What should we do now?"

"...I don't think we should be worried, it's them, and I won't say anything publicly anyway."

Da Meiyuan just said casually, she didn't care about these things, and changed the subject: "...I checked the box office, and it was 1.5 million in the first weekend. Is it possible to break 5 million?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Impossible, the market for March is here..."

"How much box office can that get?"

"Hard to say…"

"Aren't you an expert in box office forecasting?"

"...Why do you care so much about the box office?"

Da Meiyuan rolled her eyes: ""Search" is already the highest-grossing film I have participated in, and I certainly hope it can be even higher!"

"Is it already the highest... No, didn't you act in "Nanjing! Nanjing!"?"

"Forget about that shitty movie!"

Shen Changlin was curious: "What's wrong?"

He thought that Da Meiyuan was going to complain about the fact that Lu Chuan took her to drink with her to defraud her of investment...

Da Miyuan explained: "Did you know that in the original script of "Nanjing! Nanjing!", there are two lines between China and Japan. In addition to the perspective of the Japanese soldier Kadokawa, there is also a line between me and Liu Ye, who originally had a very complete relationship. Line, I also joined the crew because of this perspective, but the filming continued to be overdue, and the filming continued for eight months. Liu Ye’s schedule had already arrived and he had to leave the crew, so he had to change the film and arrange for him to be killed. He was killed. , my role is gone!"
