That's how I became famous

Chapter 678 Explosive First Week Box Office

If "Detective" is successful, Wei Changqing's next movie will be relatively more difficult to attract investment, and there will be more restrictions.

Wei Changqing is different from Li Xiao, no, it should be said that most directors are different from Li Xiao, no matter how big or small the director is.

No matter how famous a director is, most of the money for making movies still depends on other people's investment, not the money he takes out himself.

Generally, only when the investment cannot be obtained, will the investment be made by oneself.

But, then again, how much risk can they afford to invest by themselves?

Great directors are used to big money, and all they shoot are blockbusters.

In China, a blockbuster movie refers to a movie with a production cost of more than [-] million yuan, but generally speaking, the production cost of a blockbuster movie is more than [-] million yuan, and very few are in the early [-] million yuan.

The unit is [-] million, no matter how big the director is, he can't lose a few times.

Therefore, even if the movie loses money, it should try to lose as little as possible.

Wei Changqing didn't take seriously the comments on the Internet. He felt that the audience couldn't understand it, but no matter what, the top priority was to stabilize the box office. No matter what, these audiences who couldn't understand should be lulled into the cinema first.

At present, "Modern City" is the box office champion on the first day. Not surprisingly, it is the film with the largest proportion of productions after all.

However, in terms of popularity, Li Xiao's "The Witch" has more people discussing it.

Therefore, Wei Changqing chose Pengci "The Witch".

The response on Weibo looks like an advertisement for "The Witch" on the surface, but it is actually an insinuation that "The Witch" has no connotation.

Wei Changqing thinks it will work. Although he doesn't surf the Internet often, he has heard of irrational consumption by fans as idols.

If Li Xiao's fans want to refute his point of view, they must go to his movies, and compare them with Li Xiao's movies, so as to refute his words more powerfully.

Blue Star does not say that there is no piracy, but it has made great efforts to combat piracy.

If you want to see a pirated version of a movie that is currently in theaters, at least you have to wait until the movie is released on an online video platform, and these things will happen after the movie is released.

At this time, the power of this Weibo was very powerful. People who had watched the movie, as well as Li Xiao's fans, were all over the place.

"This is the great director, is this the senior?"

"I'm convinced, my movie has a lot of negative reviews, don't think about where my problem is, and drag the younger generation's movie into the water?"

""The Witch" has no connotation? At least it has more connotation than your crap movie!"

"I would like to know what is the so-called connotation of this great director. In "The Witch", I can see family and friendship, but in your movie, I can only see a strong taste of youth, which is extremely hypocritical. "

"Spicy chicken Wei Changqing, black all his life!"

"Take advantage of your 99-year-old brain. Your movies have so much connotation, and you still have so many films. Why can't you break the [-] million box office on the first day?"

"Tonight, I will give you dozens of movie tickets. Let's see what the so-called "connotation" of your crap movie has?"

"."

Not to mention, Wei Changqing's reverse touch is still useful. Many fans of Li Xiao said that they want to watch his movie.

The purpose may be to find black spots to spray, and some simply want to use the movie ticket to give a bad review on the rating website.

But in any case, this is in line with Wei Changqing's expected purpose.

He knew that this didn't mean that Li Xiao's fans were idiots, and some of them might even wonder if he said that on purpose, just to gain the popularity of "The Witch".

However, if you guess it, you guess it, you can't swallow this breath!

The person I like is maliciously slandered, and a movie ticket is only a few dozen yuan. During the Spring Festival, everyone has some money on hand, so they don't care, and just want to vent their anger.

This is the irrational consumption that Wei Changqing expects.

The response got the expected effect, but Wei Changqing didn't have much smile on his face.

If he hadn't had to, he didn't want to use this kind of tactic, but he also did it in the last movie, and it was a big one.

The reason why I have been sharpening my sword for two years this time is not because of anything else, but because it took a lot of time to attract investment.

So, you can't rush anymore.

Although the behavior was a bit shameless, Wei Changqing did it anyway.

Thinking of the fact that in the circle, many people often use various methods to touch porcelain, and he has also been touched by heat. After thinking about it, he feels much better.

Wei Changqing is still waiting, waiting for Li Xiao's reply.

He had never been in contact with Li Xiao, but he knew that Li Xiao was a genius. He could play music well, write scripts well, and shoot movies well.

Geniuses are very personal and have a good temper.

If Li Xiao also came out to respond, the impact of this incident would be even greater, and more feedback would be obtained.

Unexpectedly, at night, there was still no response from Li Xiao.

Wei Changqing thought for a while, and then posted another Weibo: "Fans, don't ruin your idol, didn't he dare to come out and respond if he didn't see it?"

"I'm speechless, it's hard to imagine, is this the so-called great director?"

"Fans of Li Xiao, don't worry, what Director Wei said is not unreasonable, the filming of "The Witch" is really fast, okay?"

"I don't know if it's fast food or not, but I know that if "Witch" is fast food, "Detective" is dark food."

"Dark cuisine, hahaha, well said!"

"I also think that you guys just don't understand Director Wei's movie. Besides, Li Xiao hasn't come out to reply yet. Isn't this the default?"

"By default you are a hammer, who is as idle as you, ready to fight with people on the Internet every day?"

"No matter what Director Wei said, he has several classic works, so you fans, don't go too far."

"What kind of fan? I'm not a fan of anyone, but I've seen the movie, and "Detective" is a fucking trash movie!"

"I've also watched "The Witch". It's a familiar plot of pretending to be beeping and slapping faces. The villains have no brains. How powerful the villains were portrayed in the early stage, but they were all shot to death later. What kind of good movie is this? Put it in an online novel. It's Xiaobaiwen, okay?"

""Detective" hot chicken!"

"."

Wei Changqing still has many fans. Seeing that Li Xiao has not responded for a long time, one or two feel that what Director Wei Changqing said is reasonable. There are not many fans who are against Li Xiao, and those who don't like "Detective" The audience is like a fighter.

No one could convince anyone, and for a while, a stalemate formed.

There was so much commotion on the Internet, Li Xiao had finished his work, and his family hadn't come back yet, so he would go online to relax. Wei Changqing posted the first weird Weibo, and he saw it.

Yu Qing soon called and said, but Li Xiao didn't care.

As a popular star, Li Xiao has already experienced a lot of things that have been touched by others.

He quickly realized that Wei Changqing was touching porcelain!

The best way to deal with this kind of thing is, of course, to go back with yin and yang, or to scold the other party. However, if it is not done well, it will be in the other party's way, and it may be even more angry afterwards.

For this, Li Xiao was angry from the beginning, but he managed to deal with it calmly.

Not responding is the best way to deal with it. Let the other party have nowhere to go. If you get anxious, the other party may do some unwise things.

Unexpectedly, at night, Wei Changqing stepped up his efforts.

It's kind of funny to think about it. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year, if they don't have a good time, just deal with these crooked ways.

Li Xiao underestimated Wei Changqing, a great director. He had done research on this director, that is, he had seen his movies.

Wei Changqing's film style is obvious, Wen Qing taste is really full, but it speaks many truths to the heart, which makes people cry and think deeply.

However, in recent movies, it seems that the reasoning has been finished, and Wen Qing is very deliberate.

Li Xiao asserted at the time that if Wei Changqing didn't make changes, the new movie would be a disaster. Now it seems that "Detective" is like this.

In fact, Li Xiao didn't feel very angry about Wei Changqing's behavior of touching porcelain, but a little sad.

Is this the great director?
A big director who dare not take responsibility?

No one dares to say that every movie he makes will make money, and even if he makes a box office, his reputation may not necessarily be good.

This is a problem that every director needs to face. Wei Changqing, a director who has experienced so much, chose to escape this time.

When Li Xiao looked online again, he found that there were quite a few friends in Wei Changqing's circle who spoke for him.

Of course, nothing was said about "The Witch" and Li Xiao.

They are all supporting "Detective", saying that this movie is not as bad as the reviews say, and you need to calm down and watch it repeatedly to feel something like that.

Li Xiao also felt that the movie did not have such a bad rating. The rating of "Detective" has dropped to 6.3. In his opinion, this is a movie with a rating of about 7.0. It may be that Wei Changqing has accumulated enough disappointment for the audience. Coupled with the fact that he received bad reviews from his fans this time, his reputation was so poor.

Friends are naturally speaking for friends, they didn’t talk about themselves, and Li Xiao didn’t bother to talk to them. After thinking about it, he posted on Weibo @微长青Director: “Director Wei is right, everyone should watch "The Witch". It will disappoint everyone. As for "Detective", Director Wei said that everyone can't understand it, so everyone should watch the movie and analyze it."

Since you said that everyone can't understand your movie, and you still want everyone to watch my movie, then... shall I listen to you?

As for your saying that my movie has no connotation, it’s not because you say there’s no meaning. If you’re so awesome, the movie won’t hit the street.
Li Xiao was in a very good mood, not angry at all, and went down the slope, what you said was right, so everyone, let's watch my movie!

This response really surprised the fans.

"Li Xiao: "The Witch" is good-looking, I support it, understand? I can't understand "Detective", wait for free whoring, understand?"

"666, master translator!"

"Hahahaha, as expected of you!"

"My idol is so shameless and right, everyone should support "The Witch", "Detective" is not something ordinary people like us can understand, so, why don't we wait for someone else to release a movie analysis, and it's not a pleasure to go whoring for nothing. ?”

"Wei Changqing: Fuck! This kid is so shameless and sloppy!"

"I know that Wei Changqing is just trying to get the hype, but I just can't bear it. Well, I'm going to refund the ticket now!"

"Refund +1!"

"Hahaha, Li Xiao's move is too ruthless."

"At first I thought it was a fight, why did things develop so happily? Hahaha!"

"."

Wei Changqing was informed by his assistant that when he saw Li Xiao's reply, he was speechless for a while.
He originally thought that a young man like Li Xiao is also a genius, and his temper is at its worst, and he usually won't hold back when something happens.

Just in response to the netizens' comments, Wei Changqing's mood is also: This kid is so shameless, how can I continue to play?

It's really shameless to continue touching porcelain, and it's not that there's no shame, it's just that the development of the situation is not under Wei Changqing's control at all.

After the first day's box office statistics came out, the theaters immediately adjusted the film schedule. Everyone saw the potential of "The Witch", and the film schedule increased to 20.00%, which was the same as "Modern City".

Wei Changqing's signature is still somewhat effective. Although the word of mouth is not very good, the proportion of the lineup has not dropped too much, and it is still 18.00%.

In the second echelon, "The Thief" has a good box office and word-of-mouth, and the lineup has risen to 17.00%.

Other movies, some went down, some went up.

According to the box office statistics on the second day, "The Witch" achieved a comeback, and it was even higher than the first day's box office, with 2.35 million box office, the second day's box office champion.

"Modern City" dropped slightly, with a box office of 2.05 million.

While the reputation of "Detective" plummeted, the box office actually went up. On the second day, the box office was 1.98 million, which almost broke the box office of [-] million.

Netizens have to say that director Wei Changqing's reverse operation is still possible.

On the third day, "The Witch" continued to lead the single-day box office champion, and the box office was still rising, reaching 2.4 million.

The second place is "Modern City", the box office is still declining, but it is a normal phenomenon, and there are still 1.95 million.

Coming to the third place is "The Thief", with a box office of 1.5 million, perhaps because Li Xiao's response had an effect, but "Detective" fell directly to the fourth place, with a box office of 1.3 million.

Soon, a week has passed.

The box office of "The Witch" rose against the trend in the first three days, and then began to drop slightly in the next four days, but it still had a box office of 14 billion.

"Modern City" ranked second with 8 million box office, and "Detective" ranked third with only [-] million box office.

During this period, the box office of "The Witch" exploded, and the main actors also received a lot of attention.

Among them, Fengmei is widely praised.

This time, the role of the witch she played is really very different from her previous role and her usual appearance.

The screenshots of the movie were circulated one after another, and Fengmei's smile was circulated as an emoticon package, which actually made this Spring Festival feel a little more eerie.

Fengmei's acting skills have been praised by everyone. The role played by Ren Xinyuan has also changed many people who are prejudiced against traffic. At least her acting skills are online, especially the part where she is beaten. She is also very handsome.

In addition, Mr. Jin has also received a lot of attention. His acting skills are so skillful, and he completely deduces a mad scientist. After everyone checked, they found that there was no information about this actor. Finally, someone broke the news, only to know that this actor actually It's Li Xiao's university teacher.

There is also Chen Yong, he used to run tricks and was an athlete. Netizens can still find out, but they are shocked to find that he is now Li Xiao's bodyguard and driver
God, Li Xiao is too good at finding actors!
Li Xiao's multi-tasking in the movie was also widely discussed by everyone. Perhaps because they have long been used to Li Xiao's monstrous performance, everyone was not very surprised.

But for the insiders, Li Xiao completely stunned them.

Anyone who has made a movie knows that human energy is limited, and there are only so many things that we are good at. It is hard to believe that Li Xiaolian is capable of acting as an action director!
