This director is very reliable

Chapter 979 Apology (33)

Is Nikki Caro great?
New Zealand director…

A New Zealand director can make a name for himself in North America, which is still a bit of a standard!

Indeed, the debut short film "Determined to Rise" was shortlisted for the Cannes Palme d'Or short film unit...

In the United States, Charlize Theron received several professional nominations for "Never Give Up"...

I got the director of "Mulan" because of Jason Reed's strong recommendation, and also because "Little Annie" directed by her won the Best Director of Children's TV Program Award from the Directors' Union!

Other than that, resume... is basically nothing!

However, for a big-budget movie like "Mulan", all the storyboards must have been completed before the filming started...

Under this objective premise, the role of the director cannot be said to be non-existent, but in fact, it will not go out of control.

In other words, the lower limit is guaranteed!
"Beauty and the Beast" director Bill Condon, "Aladdin" directors include "Maleficent" director Robert Stromberg...

In the field of directing before, not to mention borrowing unknown name, at least it was popular among ordinary people...

Mainly depends on the producer!

Aunt Liu said in a boastful tone: "The producers of "Mulan" are Chris Bender and Jason Reed..."

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "...Wow, that's amazing!"

In fact, she didn't even know who these two were...

But it doesn’t matter, Aunt Liu will help her popularize science: “Chris Bender is very good, he has done "American Pie" and "Death Comes", he also participated in "The Hangover", Jason Reed is even better , "Enchanted", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", he is the producer!"

Hearing these works, Shi Shi gave a 'shocked' expression at the right time...

this quote...

Well, Shi Shi was indeed a little shocked!
After all, these two are really powerful...

So, you can't say that Disney doesn't pay attention to "Mulan"...

……

Shi Shi is visiting the group in New Zealand, Shen Changlin is filming a movie in Australia, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here...

Neither of them can return home!
This is not the point, the point is the Mid-Autumn Festival, when three films "Li Cha's Aunt", "Golden Brothers" and "A River of Sadness" were released.

The industry actually has some doubts - I don't understand why Changlin Film and Television arranges the release schedule like this...

After all, this year's mid-range is only a week away from the national schedule...

Judging from the previous works of Mahua, not only the box office is strong, but also the word of mouth is very good, and the long tail effect is not bad.

With such a schedule arrangement, isn't it afraid that "Li Cha's Aunt" will not be able to exert its full market effect?
You should know that Changlin Film and Television also has "Above the Cliff" in the National Day file!

Although I don't know why, but... this is a movie of Changlin Film and Television, maybe it is because Changlin Company has insufficient confidence in "Above the Cliff" in the National Day file?

After all, at first glance, everyone thinks that "Li Cha's Aunt" is a sure winner, and the other two films are all accompanying...

Twist produced must be a boutique!

As a happy twist with the "comedy guarantee label", "Charlotte Annoyance", "Donkey Gets Water", "Shameful Iron Fist";
Including "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which defeated "Transformers 5" head-on last year, won the audience's love both in terms of box office and word of mouth.

The cinema thinks so too...

Three films were scheduled, "Li Cha's Aunt" got 42% of the screenings...

And then..."Li Cha's Aunt" pulled her hips!

And it pulls the hips in all directions!

In terms of the market, the box office was 1.28 million on the first day, 1.02 million the next day, and dropped directly to 8200 million on the third day...

That's right, the box office 'only' 2600 million in the first three days of the weekend, not only that, it dropped to [-] million on weekdays!

Yes, the cost of "Li Cha's Aunt" was only 3500 million, and the cost was already paid off on the first day of its release...

But... word of mouth is extremely poor!
Douban score 4.8 points!
It set the lowest rating for Twist, and also re-wrote a new low for the word-of-mouth movie produced by Tianxia Entertainment...

Although Tianxia Entertainment is not as good as Changlin Film and Television, the rating of the genre films controlled by the latter is stable above 7 points, which belong to the works of word-of-mouth and box office. Below, the box office is not bad, word-of-mouth is high and low, but the overall score is around 5000 points...

Good guy, "Li Cha's Aunt" has directly lowered the lower limit of entertainment in the world!
"It's too bad. It's just a farce. All the jokes reveal the embarrassment and bluntness overflowing the screen. What's wrong with the twist?"

"It's astonishingly ugly, I beg Happy Twist to stop filming rich people's stories, it's not the empress of the East Palace who bakes the pancakes, it's the empress Nuwa who bakes the pancakes!

The father-son ethics stalks are all out, and the climax is actually three pairs of men and women playing after taking aphrodisiacs?To say it is a vulgar sex comedy feels like insulting comedy. After all, sex comedies usually have one or two handsome guys. Here, a bunch of ugly leading actors are crazy about selling meat for close-ups. Who wants to watch it? "

"I don't know if everyone has discovered that Shen Changlin is not the producer of this drama, or even the producer. What does that mean?"

Almost all negative reviews on the Internet!

This one is indeed at the bottom-both at the box office and word-of-mouth.

To what extent?

Twist had to make a public apology...

Well, apologizing is what Shen Changlin asked them to do!
You rely on the brand of Twist Comedy to attract audiences. You must know that many audiences bought tickets for the sign of "Happy Twist" to enter the movie theater, and then encountered a violent attack...

Of course an apology should be made!

……

"Li Cha's Aunt" has a great influence on twist...

Because of "Li Cha's aunt is", Happy Twist withdrew its IPO application. The reason given in the announcement was that the company planned to adjust its shareholding structure.

Equity adjustment?

In fact, it is like this: starting from the stage play, moving to the big screen, several comedy movies have succeeded one after another, and Happy Twist has clearly captured the movie market in the past two years.

Then, the film and television companies encountered unstable projects, payment collection problems, and tight cash flow problems, and Happy Twist inevitably encountered them.

Nobody can control the market forever...

In this time and space, the influence may be even greater, because Shen Changlin, the major shareholder of Twist Twist, said "it is not suitable for film adaptation" for the project "Li Cha's Aunt"...

They go their own way!
and then failed...

They were quite worried that Shen Changlin would use this as an excuse to directly intervene in the company's operations...

After all, the original pattern, they are used to.

It’s not impossible. Shen Changlin criticized "Li Cha's Aunt" on Weibo, saying that it was a very failed attempt. "The biggest mistake of comedy movies is that they are not funny. "Li Cha's Aunt" fits this point! '

'The script is outdated, the production is rough, the jokes are old-fashioned and over-the-top, and the performances of the actors are too exaggerated...The biggest problem is the lack of audio-visual means of the film. Also called a movie? '

"It's too bad, it's so bad, it's unreasonable that the main creator can't come out and apologize..."

I'm very nervous...

Then they discovered that Shen Changlin didn't go back to China directly, and didn't even say anything to Guo Songjiang...

Because they visited Guo Songjiang, the latter said, "I have bought the adaptation rights of two works for you, namely "Little Cat in the Rooftop" and "Magic Moment"..."
