This director is very reliable

Chapter 970

In the company, in the lounge, Lao Guo brought Shen Changlin a cup of coffee, and said, "I really didn't expect "Love Apartment" to set a record!"

Shen Changlin was surprised: "A record? What record?"

"A record drop in the box office!"

"Oh…"

The first day was 3.2 days, the next day was 1.07 million, a drop of 60%, and the next day was Saturday!
Not only that, on the third day it was only 5100 million...

Shen Changlin smiled, "Love Apartment" is an egg, if you know "The Last Night on Earth" (2.65 million on the first day, 1127 million on the second day), "Shanghai Fortress" (7800 million on the first day, 2800 million on the next day) , That's called magic!

Domestic films are becoming more and more mature, and quality is king. No matter how much you promote it, once word of mouth spreads, it will be over!
It used to be able to deceive at least the first three days, but now it collapsed in one day!
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, "Tang Detective 3", "Send You A Little Red Flower" including "Zhu Xian" are very good, especially the former, win-win for three days, Douban scores are above 6 points!
It wasn't until after the box office of 25 billion that the crotch pulling was gradually realized by virtue of real word of mouth...

Really, in those few days, the whole Internet was praising "Tang Detective 3", various marketing accounts, movie commentary...

Even if there are criticisms, it will take a few days before it is released...

why?
The platform was accused of reviewing it!
Of course, "Tang Detective 3" learns from "Send You A Little Red Flower". Good guy, "Little Red Flower" is obviously a mediocre work. After it was released, all major platforms received positive reviews. Douban scored 8.0 All film critics shut up...

"Little Red Flower" continues the "Zhu Xian" model: dominating the schedule, film critics shut up, it's a pity that the quality of the finished film is too poor, but it also earned 4 million box office!

Lao Guo continued: ""Red Sea" has already reached 27.6 billion, and it is estimated that there will be 40 billion!"

"almost…"

Shen Changlin was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something: "Old Guo, I don't think it's right, why do we have all the main theme works?"

"Heroes of Fire", "My Motherland and Me", "The Climber"...

Changlin Film and Television has produced a maximum of 10 films a year, and the main theme accounts for three?
This is not a good sign!

Lao Guo explained casually: "...The situation next year is special, the 70th anniversary of the National Day!"

"Let me tell you, there is a saying in "Personal Customization" that is quite correct..."

""Private Order"? Don't you dislike Director Feng?"

"...I don't like Director Feng's personality. I still appreciate his movies, so don't interrupt!" Shen Changlin continued: "There is a saying in "Private Order" that 'movies are mass entertainment. Le, has nothing to do with elegance.

How low is the threshold for movies, open the door to welcome everyone with a smile, what goes is the traffic, and what is sold is the ticket money.

A painting sells for tens of millions, and a movie with more than a thousand paintings can't sell for two taels of tea.This is the eighth art!
You have to be literate to go to a bookstore. What about movies? Illiterate people can sit there and enjoy themselves after watching them. 'We're entertaining, entertaining, you know? "

"…comedy?"

"Comedy, urban romance, comedy drama..."

"Are you fast asleep, similar to "Cohabitation in Super Dimension and Space"?"

"Correct!"

Lao Guo nodded: "...The comedy element is indeed a box office weapon."

"But it can't be too bad, you are like Twist's "Li Cha's Aunt" this year...it's impossible to watch!"

"...I also watched the trial screening, and it was indeed a little bit interesting..."

"They still want National Day files!"

"Then... shall I give it or not?"

"Give it to Mao, give them the Mid-Autumn Festival file, and "Above the Cliff" on the National Day file..."

"to make!"

……

Back in the office, Shen Changlin was about to close the door when Lao Guo came again...

"Anything else?"

"About the investment in "Emergency Rescue"..."

"Didn't you say that? We are only responsible for distribution, and we don't invest a dime!"

Lao Guo had a different opinion: "For the trilogy, we don't vote for the last one, isn't it outrageous?"

"Our planned trilogy is "Operation Mekong", "Operation Red Sea" and "Operation Moscow"!"

"Moscow Operation" is also an adaptation of a real event - the sensational incident of the Sino-Russian K3 train looting in the last century...

It was originally agreed, trilogy, three actions, directed by Lin Chaoxian, and the third part will be starring Andy Lau + Ge You + Hu Jun...

It may be that the success of "Operation Red Sea" made other departments have some ideas-"Emergency Rescue" is a proposition composition of the transportation department, and Lin Chaoxian was directly appointed to direct it!

Telling about rescue at sea…

In fact, it is understandable for Lao Guo to want to follow the cast. After all, after "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea", Lin Chaoxian is already the leading director of commercial films.

The circle is very superstitious about success...

Let's put it this way, at this stage, if Lin Chaoxian throws out a movie project, a bunch of companies will rush to invest!
Even if the investment in "Emergency Rescue" hit a new high!

Continuous success has a halo effect.

"But "Emergency Rescue" is also the main theme. Lin Chaoxian + the main theme basically guarantees the possibility of being a blockbuster!"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I don't like this scene...unless I shoot it myself."

Lao Guo's eyes lit up: "Then will you shoot it yourself?"

"No time...are they willing to wait two years?"

"That's impossible!"

Shen Changlin shrugged: "It's still!"

Lao Guo couldn't help but ask directly: "...you...why don't you like "Emergency Rescue"? Is it because of the subject matter?"

"It's not all... The main reason is that Lin Chaoxian insisted on using Peng Yuyan... Don't you think it's awkward to use an actor with a Taiwanese accent in the main theme movie?"

In the original time and space, "Emergency Rescue" was originally scheduled for the 2020 Spring Festival, and the screening was negative. After the delay due to the epidemic, it was originally scheduled for the 2021 Spring Festival, but suddenly it was temporarily moved up, and it was chosen to be released in the early stage of the Lunar New Year. It proves that the producer has even given up the possibility of making a profit at the box office, and has no confidence in competing with other blockbuster films during the Spring Festival...

"Then you let him change the protagonist?"

"I have a good relationship... I won't be this villain anymore!"

Peng Yuyan can be regarded as Lin Chaoxian's queen hero, "Guild Wars", "Broken Wind"...

Before "Operation Mekong", Shen Changlin strongly demanded that Peng Yuyan be replaced, and Zhang Yi + Chen Xiao were used...

This time, Shen Changlin has no 'qualification' to do this - this movie was directed by the transportation department directly to Lin Chaoxian, and there is no such thing as Shen Changlin!

Of course, if Shen Changlin exerts pressure, Lin Chaoxian has to change...

Why bother?
Still want to continue to cooperate!
It's better to let him stumble and realize it by himself.

"Okay..." Lao Guo nodded: "Then Zhao Shan, let me talk about it too?"

"Well... tell me."

"Pity."

Old Guo muttered something, turned and left.

pity?

What a pity, when "Emergency Rescue" is released, you should be glad you didn't jump into this big pit...

Lao Guo left, and Shen Changlin looked at the financial report...
