Entertainment, I only like to make movies

Chapter 34 Advice from Senior Brother

…………

Just like the praise and praise when the movie was first released, wave after wave of satire and bad reviews flooded every corner of the Internet.

The media reporters acted on the wind, excitedly criticizing the film from multiple angles like a child who snatched a lollipop.

In their view, after half a month of helping out, the enthusiasm has long been exhausted, and it's time to get attention from a different angle.

A large number of criticisms and negative reviews gave "Nobody with Name" a wave of popularity. On the 13th day of its release, the box office rose slightly to 693 million.

This time, the media is even more excited!

The box office can go up, it's all thanks to them!
Taking advantage of Fang Ziheng's publicity campaign in Shencheng, entertainment reporters from all over the south flocked here. Not only that, but also several media outlets who have been following and reporting on "The Unknown" from the imperial capital and magic capital also spent their time extravagantly, so Dafeidi followed.

"Hi everyone, please make way first, don't block the cinema."

Before Fang Ziheng could speak, he saw countless microphones poking over, and the cameras kept beeping, almost giving his eyes away.

"Director Fang, the box office of "The Unknown" has plummeted. What do you think about it?"

"Will the lack of strength in the later stage of the film affect the expectations of Hua Yi and the major film giants?"

"Director Fang, some people say that "Nobody with Nobody" is really lucky to get the current box office. It's because "If You Are the One", "Red Cliff" and other films are under-drawn due to the low number of films scheduled."

The reporters looked excited, looking at Fang Ziheng with heartfelt joy.

These days they are almost throwing up, and finally they can seize the opportunity to go dark.

I hope Hengyu has a little insight and will add another promotion fee, otherwise, don't blame us uncrowned kings for being rude.

What a cutting-edge director.

What a leading figure in youth films.

What is the youngest billionaire director in film history.

In the eyes of the reporters, everything is bullshit!
Popularity, selling points, and explosive news are what they pursue!
Several leading actors stood behind Fang Ziheng, their faces were not good-looking, especially the little girl Song Yi, with her hands in her trouser pockets, she turned her head to avoid looking at the faces of this group of people.

Fang Ziheng always wore a faint smile, made a guiding gesture, and led everyone to the square outside the cinema.

"Thank you very much for the concern of friends from the media."

The so-called expert will know if there is one as soon as he makes a move. As soon as he opened his mouth, the excited reporters fell silent.

If you reach out and don't hit the smiling face, people will say thank you for your concern. I'm always embarrassed to make trouble, so let's listen to what they say.

After a pause, Fang Ziheng took a microphone and said in a flat tone: "The box office of "The Unknown" has far exceeded my expectations since it was released."

"Everyone knows that the total cost of the movie is only 1200 million. Even if the post-publicity expenses are included, it is enough to recoup the cost, or even make a small profit."

He didn't answer the specific question directly, but threw out the data ratio, and took the lead in blocking the reporter's mouth.

No matter how bad you say, the movie has already made money anyway!
Are you angry?
Fang Ziheng, who ignored the commotion of reporters, smiled and continued: "The movie broke through [-] million box office for nine days in a row, and began to decline on the tenth day. The trend is as strong as "The Nobody"!"

Immediately after the explanation, ask back questions, lead the reporters into a ditch, interrupt their rhythm, and do not give them the opportunity to continue asking questions.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the reporters fell into silence, began to ponder, and asked whether "The Unknown" really failed?
Of course, there are ghost reporters who don't follow Fang Ziheng's style and keep in mind the purpose of this trip.

A middle-aged man with thick black eyes and greasy hair pushed his way through the crowd and asked loudly, "Director Fang, judging from the audience's reaction, the current box office trend of "The Unknown" is indeed normal. , Yesterday it hit the box office of 690 million."

The greasy middle-aged man first affirmed, and then changed the subject, with a sharp and aggressive tone: "Then what if the box office drops in the future, and the drop exceeds 60%?"

Yup!

What should I do if it falls in the future?
All the reporters came to their senses with a thud, and cursed Fang Ziheng for being cunning in their hearts, almost leading them into the pit.

The greasy middle-aged man seems to be worried about the movie, but in fact he has ulterior motives, waiting for Fang Ziheng to make a fool of himself.

As the movie is released, it will definitely continue to decline until the box office gradually becomes scarce and it is withdrawn from theaters.

Regardless of Fang Ziheng's answer, the media just need to wait a few days until the box office continues to drop, and they can take this opportunity to comment from a correct point of view.

At that time, I will carry some private goods, and I will change into a foresight and foresight.

Mom approves!
Who is this person?

You are so talented, why don't you become someone's dog-headed military advisor!
Fang Ziheng instantly understood that this was a huge hole. He took a deep look at the greasy middle-aged man, smiled slightly, and said, "You are right, the box office will definitely continue to fall, and it will fall even less."

"The guide"

The greasy middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

Fang Ziheng interrupted the other party forcefully, shrugged and said: "Everyone can guess a wave, guess how much the total box office of "The Nobody" will break through in the end?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored the reporters and drove away with the leading actors.

Damn it, I don't want to see you in the future!

imperial capital.

Huayi Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

Wang Zhongjun closed the script in his hand, stood up and said, "Director Lu, it's a happy cooperation. The company will prepare the crew for you as soon as possible, and guarantee that the start-up will not be delayed."

"Thank you, Director Wang. Don't worry, the theme of this movie is well known in the country, and the box office will definitely hit a record high."

In front of the desk, Lu Chuan relaxed, with a confident smile on his face, and he was about to issue a military order on the spot.

"Haha. Alright, I'm waiting to hold a celebration banquet for Director Lu!"

Wang Zhongjun was full of enthusiasm, signed the contract with Lu Chuan with a big wave of his hand, and invested 5000 million in "Nanjing Nanjing" in the blink of an eye, and at the same time won the distribution rights of the film.

"Nanjing Nanjing" has a total investment of 8000 million. Lu Chuan communicated with many parties and raised 3000 million. After China Film Group hit a wall, he brought the script to Huayi to seek investment.

I didn't expect Wang Zhongjun to be so straightforward, and to take such a fancy to him, which made him feel like dying for a scholar and a confidant.

How did he know that because Hua Yi was going to be listed this year, the shareholders' money came in wave after wave. At this time, Dong Wang was panicking with a lot of money in his pocket and was looking for high-quality film projects.

With a cheerful mood, Lu Chuan walked out of the gate of Huayi headquarters, and was surrounded by two or three reporters as soon as he came out.

"Director Lu, how is the cooperation with Huayi going?"

These reporters were specially found by Lu Chuan, and the purpose was to spread the news as soon as possible after the cooperation with Huayi was finalized.

"The cooperation has been very successful. I will hold a press conference in the near future. This is a brand new anti-war blockbuster. The depth and perspective are different from previous anti-war films. I believe it will bring a different experience to the audience."

Facing the reporters, Lu Chuan talked eloquently, picking up the sun and the moon with the universe in his hands, confident with honey.

The three reporters also cooperated very well, shooting from multiple angles, trying to capture Director Lu in a black windbreaker as a boss.

After chatting about the movie, he smiled and waved to the reporter, walked towards the parking lot not far away with his head held high.

At this time, a reporter suddenly asked: "Director Lu, what do you think of Fang Ziheng, a junior from Nortel?
The box office of "The Nobody" he filmed has dropped by half in the past two days, and the drop is too big. As a senior, what do you want to say to him? "

Lu Chuan stopped suddenly, thinking of Fang Ziheng's narrow smile in the China Film Hall, suddenly an evil fire rose from the bottom of his heart.

During the Chinese New Year period, the topic of "The Unknown" and Fang Ziheng can be heard everywhere on the Internet.

As a director with ideals and aspirations, he despises such hype tricks very much.

The grandstanding, the bottom line, has completely embarrassed Nortel.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan faced the reporter again, and said seriously: "I'm not familiar with him, but as a brother, I want to say one thing: make a movie, make it well, don't be so vain, filmmakers must take responsibility for promoting Chinese culture." Responsibility!"
