This director is very reliable

Chapter 810 Are You Propagating So Actively? (33)

On the 19th, Shen Changlin flew back to China and went directly to the company.

After looking around at the data and the plan...

The data is the box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame" - under the impact of "The Great Wall", the box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame" in the fourth weekend is only 9700 million...

Maoyan adjusted the box office forecast, and the total box office is expected to be 18.6 billion...

Shen Changlin was quite annoyed.

"The Iron Fist of Shame" failed to break 20 billion, it is definitely his fault!

If you are on a horse, why did you choose the fiercely competitive Lunar New Year file to be released?
Isn't it delicious in the National Day file?
Lao Guo is quite proud: ""Iron Fist" dominates the first half, "Longling Miku" spans Christmas and New Year's, and this year's Lunar New Year, we are sure to win!"

"...Don't you think it's a pity that "The Iron Fist of Shame" failed to break the 20 billion mark?"

"My ancestor, the cost of 7000 million, the publicity cost is less than 4000 million, and the box office will be 18 billion, what else do you want?"

"But I think "The Iron Fist of Shame" has the potential to exceed 20 billion!"

"...Boss, when you persuaded others, you said, 'The movie only needs to pay back the cost', why did you become greedy when it came to you?"

"I…"

Well, the 20 billion box office of "The Iron Fist of Shame" is a matter of the original time and space.

It is indeed as Guo Songjiang said: 7000 million cost, 4000 million publicity, 17 billion box office, you can celebrate with champagne!
"..."The Ferryman" is approaching menacingly..."

Shen Changlin was very casual: "Hey, a romance film has been filmed for ten months, and it claims to have revised the script 118 times, it must hit the street!"

Lao Guo nodded: "Indeed, I chatted with them, and the collective opinion of the 118 draft is that either Party A is an idiot, or Party B is an idiot, or both."

"I think it should be all!"

Shen Changlin smiled, and didn't continue the topic - obviously, both sides!
After looking at the release plan of "Longling Miku", I was surprised and asked: "Why do you want to order the screening in advance?"

"Maoyan's distribution strategy is to use word-of-mouth to influence the movie schedule in theaters!"

"...Pay attention to maintaining things other than the movie!"

"what?"

"Theme!"

"Oh, don't worry about that, there are several "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series..."

Lao Guo quickly nodded...

I'm really scared, once the ban is issued, all the plans around "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will be ruined...

What do you do if you are not screened?
To judge others by oneself, if "Longling Miku" is the work of other companies, and then the Lunar New Year festival will kill people with their own movies, Shen Changlin will also do some dirty tricks-bad-mouthing this theme!
Just like time-travel dramas and dramas involved in the case.

Immediately ban you, one size fits all!
……

"The Ferryman", Ahri Films' first serious investment work.

Producer Wang Jiawei and director Zhang Jiajia even recruited the leading combination of Liang Chaowei + Jin Chengwu.

Other actors Eason Chan, Yang Tianbao, Zhang Rongrong, Du Juan, Xiong Dailin, Lu Han, Li Yuchun...

Still not ruthless enough!
If Shen Changlin is replaced as the producer, "The Ferryman" will have a full lineup of four kings and VS four flow!

It's a little embarrassing. When the film was being promoted, it happened to catch up with the criticism traffic in the industry, and Yang Tianbao was also the target of the fire!
At the premiere ceremony of "The Ferryman", Wang Jiawei supported her very much: only Tianbao can play this role.

He even said: Andy Lau is the hardest among the actors who have worked with him, and this time with Tianbao, Andy Lau can only rank second...

It's so good... I believe it, but it's not good!

As for director Zhang Jiajia...

Well, from the beginning of the promotion, the main focus of the movie was Wang Jiawei, and no one mentioned Zhang Jiajia at all!
Therefore, before the film was released, many people said that "The Ferryman" was actually Wang Jiawei's work...

"The Ferryman" does have some similarities with Wang Jiawei's previous works. Both talk about the love between several groups of characters that overlap each other, both use first-person narration to advance the plot, both use multiple clues to unfold the narrative in parallel, and both use interjections and flashbacks There are shaking shots and strong colors, and they all use a lot of golden lines.

However, although Wang Jiawei does not have a complete script for making movies, he can shoot wherever he thinks, but his works have internal continuity. They seem to be freewheeling and cool, but they are very particular in their bones.

"The Ferryman", first of all, does not pay attention to logic in the plot, it is really arbitrary, extremely fractured and chaotic, with a hammer from east to west, and a stick to the west. If there is no plot, it will be filled by drinking and fighting.

Let's put it this way, "Passing Through Your World" had a script outline, but "The Ferryman" didn't even have a story outline!

If Wang Jiawei likes "The Ferryman"...

Don't look forward to "Flowers"!

According to the cost of "The Ferryman", if the box office fails to break one billion, it will be considered a failure.

Will Ari allow his first shot to be misfired?

Certainly not, so, the big cultural and entertainment ecological chain that has been arranged for so long has started, and no one is strictly forbidden to sing bad words...

To what extent?

Zhihu has a film critic who is not optimistic about "The Ferryman". He joked with his followers and bet that "The word-of-mouth of "The Ferryman" will never exceed 7 points. If I lose, I will live and eat stockings...'

Stockings asked fans to send him…

This is not a bet score, it is clearly a desire to eat stockings!
It's Douban score.

Then, he was approached by Ari Film and Television to ask him to apologize and compensate for the loss—it was true!

Really speechless, what kind of film critic is this damn?

I dare not bet big, what is the concept of 7 points?
If Shen Changlin was replaced, the bet would be raised directly - 3.5 points!
……

Ari's entry into film and television production should be for real...

Although the production budget of 3.5 million is nothing compared to Ahri Group, but inviting Wang Jiawei shows that they want a good reputation!
Is it for box office?
No way, when did Wang Jiawei become a blockbuster? Everyone outside the circle knows that such a big company doesn't know about it, right?

The promotion is really powerful!

Especially the trailer, consciously avoiding turning "The Ferryman" into a pure love movie, using sharp editing and materials with a sense of design, conveying a KUSO style-shooting a Wang Jiawei-style movie in the way of Stephen Chow!

Awesome, as expected of Ari, he brought in two bigwigs from the Hong Kong circle all of a sudden.

In line with Zhang Jiajia's phrase, "Let's put it this way, you drank with director Wang Jiawei. After drinking for a year or two, if you still don't know how to direct, you are an idiot!" '

Material delivery, Taobao homepage recommendation, Alipay invitation to watch movies...

All available means have been used!
Then, it came out...

Leaving aside the box office, the word-of-mouth on the first day was blurred—Douban got 4.7 points on the first day, 3.9 points on the next day, and then 3.7 points after that, in an L-shaped form, the kind that can’t even be swiped back...

The propaganda agency of Ahri Films also said that 'our movie was hacked in a premeditated way'...

So Ahri can’t make movies, the corporate culture is here—Ari’s people really only think that the talents in their own system are elites, and talents determine Ahli’s direction is the correct direction of the world, and human beings are not worthy of them Express views…

They naturally transplanted this set of things to the film industry.

So, they really think that the model of "The Ferryman" is okay...

Therefore, four blockbuster films featuring star casts were launched in one go, "The Ferryman", "Journey to the West", "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and "Blood of the Machine"...

The three-day box office of "The Ferryman" in the first weekend was 1.94 million...

At the same time, "Longling Miku", which was screened one day in advance, had a box office of 4 million in the first week of '7.14', with a score of 8.4 on Douban...

The contrast is stark!

　Happy Tanabata!
