Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1445 Analysis from a professional perspective
When several people in New Art City were chatting about the script together, they inevitably talked about the drama "The Untouchable Lover".

In the eyes of several of them, the film "Untouchable Lovers" was really well shot.

However, when the box office of "Untouchable Lovers" fell to 300 million the next day, it was inevitable that people worried about the future trend of this drama.

"Is there really something wrong with the movie "The Untouchable Lover"? I couldn't help watching it three times, and every time I couldn't get enough of it."

Although Mai Jia participated in the premiere, he still bought tickets to enter the venue to support it later, and also wanted to study more about the plot of "The Untouchable Lover".

In his opinion, the plot of "Untouchable Lovers" is really good, and the special effects are also in place, but it didn't explode, which is really thought-provoking.

"As a literary film, "The Untouchable Lover" is indeed a very good movie, but the audience who love literary films is a minority after all."

Tsui Hark has also seen this film, and he also thinks it is good, but from his point of view, it can only be said that Lin Daoqiu chose the wrong subject matter.

Spending 4000 million yuan to shoot "Untouchable Lovers" was a mistake in itself. If the investment in this movie was only a few million, it would have been praised by now.

But the problem is that Lin Daoqiu announced on the show that the budget of this drama is 4000 million, which undoubtedly raised everyone's expectations for this drama to another level.

And indeed, many people bought tickets for the big investment of 4000 million yuan to watch.

It's just that the special effects with an investment of 4000 million yuan are not as powerful as they expected. They just think it's very good, but they won't be scared.

After all, almost everyone has been baptized by the movie "Godzilla" before, and now seeing the special effects made with millions of dollars, naturally they won't have the shocking idea that they did back then.

Moreover, the special effects scenes in the movie will not have a clear price tag, such as how much money was spent on this part, and how much money was spent on that shot.

Therefore, when the expectations are pulled to a higher level, but the effect does not exceed their expectations, but only achieved, the favorable rate will naturally not be too high.

"Actually, "Untouchable Lovers" is already very good. It broke the box office of literary films on the first day of its release, and the current box office results have crushed most of the literary films. I don't think Mr. Lin is a failure this time. of."

Although they all work under Lin Daoqiu's subordinates, regardless of this identity, if you look at it from the perspective of an independent filmmaker, "The Untouchable Lover" is very good in every aspect.

"What's the use of us talking about this? If the box office is lower than 3000 million, and only about 2000 million, I'm afraid there will still be many people who will say that Mr. Lin failed this time."

…………

After get off work, Lin Daoqiu came to Zhong Chuhong's villa. As soon as he opened the door, Lin Daoqiu found a pile of newspapers and magazines in the living room.

With a quick glance, you can see that it is all news about yourself, and of course most of the things written on it are not good.

"When did you come back?"

When Zhong Chuhong came downstairs, she saw Lin Daoqiu standing in the living room.

"The door just opened, it's getting late, change your clothes, let's go out for dinner."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything, nor did he mention the newspapers on the table.

But when Zhong Chuhong heard that Lin Daoqiu asked her to change clothes and go out for dinner, she shook her head.

"I don't have much appetite today, so I won't go out to eat. I'll cook the bread later."

Zhong Chuhong seems to be in a bad mood, because the box office of "Untouchable Lovers" has dropped to 260 million today.

It only took three days to go from 380 million to 260 million at the premiere.

If this situation continues, the box office of "Untouchable Lovers" will basically not reach 3000 million in the end, and it will probably hover between more than 2000 million.

If it was a movie made by other directors, I am afraid that the celebration banquet has already been prepared.

But this movie is a movie written and directed by Lin Daoqiu. You must know that the movies he has made in these years have never been lower than 3000 million.

As the heroine of this drama, Zhong Chuhong felt that the poor box office had a lot to do with herself, which made her feel like going out for dinner.

"Fool, don't think about it, the box office of this movie is actually very good."

Lin Daoqiu walked over and hugged Zhong Chuhong into his arms, and comforted her softly.

But Zhong Chuhong obviously didn't listen to Lin Daoqiu's comfort, but she leaned her head on the other's shoulder instead.

"You don't need to comfort me, this movie won't sell well at the box office in Xiangjiang with such a large investment, and it will definitely be even more difficult when it's sold in Hong Kong."

Zhong Chuhong blamed herself very much. She has not been an actress for a day or two. She knows very well that if the movie can get a good box office in Xiangjiang, it will naturally earn more when it is sold.

But on the other hand, if you fail to get a good box office in Xiangjiang, it will be almost impossible to make a lot of money by selling ports.

"I didn't expect our little Honghong to know so much."

Lin Daoqiu couldn't help laughing out loud, provoking Zhong Chuhong and gave him a supercilious look.

"You can still laugh at any time, I know you are rich, it doesn't matter if you lose tens of millions, but... But I can't accept it."

Although Zhong Chuhong never thought that every film she made would be a big hit, but this kind of film that lost tens of millions at once is definitely impossible for her to say anything without thinking.

Not to mention that Lin Daoqiu decided to make this film because of her relationship.

Now that the movie is losing money, Zhong Chuhong will naturally feel uncomfortable. She feels that there is a large part of the reason for this, and it is all because of her relationship that this situation occurs.

"Okay, since consolation is useless, then I will carefully analyze the prospects of this drama."

Lin Daoqiu felt that no matter how much he comforted Zhong Chuhong, he would not be happy, so he planned to use his professional knowledge to let Zhong Chuhong know whether the show would lose money or make money in the end.

Looking at Lin Daoqiu suspiciously, Zhong Chuhong obviously suspected that the other party was trying to make up a lie to comfort herself.

"Don't look at me like that. I won't lie. After all, there are not many people as honest as me now."

"Are you really honest? Hmph... It's better to say less about things like this."

Zhong Chuhong was still very sad at first, but when she heard Lin Daoqiu say that he is a very honest person, she became very angry.

He didn't even settle accounts with him about those women, yet he dared to say to his face that he was an honest person. No wonder Zhong Chuhong refused to buy into Lin Daoqiu's account.
