I'm just telling the artist what's wrong!

Chapter 526 The storm is wrinkling!

"4 billion?"

Cao Yun listened to the report on the other end of the phone in surprise, his expression uncontrollable.

Cao Yun nodded after hearing the other end of the phone clearly, and hung up the phone.

As soon as the front foot hung up the phone, Cao Yun couldn't help muttering on the back foot.

"How could it be 4 million?"

Shaking his head, he walked into the dressing room and saw Zhou Di who was chatting with Huang Bo and the others.

Cao Yun took a deep breath, walked in, leaned over and said a few words in Zhou Di's ear.

After hearing this, Zhou Di turned his head to look at Cao Yun, with a look of questioning in his eyes, Cao Yun nodded to indicate that what Zhou Di told him just now was correct.

Only then did Zhou Di nodded thoughtfully, accepting the message.

And Huang Bo couldn't help asking when he saw the two singing and playing charades.

"What are you two talking about? Why did you suddenly mute?"

"Do you remember what I just told you?"

Zhou Di turned around and said.

Huang Bo blurted out.

"Isn't it about the "Nine-story Demon Tower"? Director Lu admitted in an interview that he was scolded by many fans. I was quite surprised. According to the character I know, Director Lu should have a violent temper."

Zhou Di lowered his head and smiled.

"I just found out that the box office of "The Nine-story Demon Tower" exceeded 4 million last week."

"What? This. This. Can be done"

Huang Bo was startled, and just wanted to blurt out "this movie can break 4 million", but he thought of the crowds in the dressing room, so he forcibly held back the second half of the sentence.

He approached Zhou Di and whispered, with an expression of disbelief.

"Didn't you say Douban 4.2?"

"This is also what surprised me. Logically speaking, the worse the word of mouth, the lower the follow-up box office should be. Didn't many media say that "Nine-story Demon Tower" will be difficult to pay back? But now it seems that we all guessed wrong gone."

Zhou Di said lightly.

Huang Bo shook his head.

"I don't understand the current market more and more."

"But high box office doesn't mean everything, you should understand."

Zhou Di patted Huang Bo on the shoulder.

Huang Bo nodded.

"I know for sure. Although Director Lu did not give satisfactory answers to the audience and actor this time, at least he is satisfied with the investors. It's just that the pressure will fall on us."

After Huang Bo finished speaking, he looked up at Zhou Di.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

The assistants behind him were a little puzzled, and one of the little assistants couldn't help but said.

"why?"

Huang Bo glanced at her and didn't speak. Instead, he motioned for Cao Yun to explain to her.

Cao Yun sighed.

"The main reason is that "Nine-Storied Demon Tower" and "Looking for the Dragon" are from the same novel, the configuration of the protagonists is the same, and the genre of themes is also the same. If "Nine-Storied Demon Tower" has a bad reputation and poor box office, then it will be bad for us. For us, the pressure will be much less, because there is an anti-thunder movie in front, but if it has a good reputation and a good box office, the pressure will be great for us, because the pearls and jades come first.”

The assistant seemed to have cleared up a lot of doubts, but he still asked.

"But "The Nine-story Demon Tower" isn't well-received and has a high box office?"

"By the way, this is the most troublesome situation. Poor word of mouth means that the audience's threshold for the next movie of the same type will increase and tolerance will become smaller. The high box office also means that audiences may be cautious when they see this type of movie in the future. Keep your wallet tight."

Cao Yun is a good teacher, and his explanations are relatively clear.

The little assistant scratched his head.

"Then why doesn't the high box office mean that the audience likes to watch this type of movie?"

"That's because you don't know that the high box office is because many viewers have seen the bad reviews on the Internet and went to watch the fresh ones. Do you understand the principle of watching the excitement? If the high box office really means that the audience likes this genre, then why "Fuchun" didn't The second part? How can word of mouth be so bad?"

Cao Yun said with a smile.

After listening to Cao Yun's explanation, the little assistant understood completely.

Can't help but let out an exclamation.

"Then there were a lot of critics when we released it?"

After the little assistant finished talking, no one in the dressing room answered him, but the answer was obvious.

The box office of "Nine-story Demon Tower" exceeded 4 million, which surprised many people.

But what followed was more and more verbal criticism of "Nine-story Demon Tower" on the Internet.

Not only fans of the original book, but also fans of passers-by joined the ranks of criticism.

At the beginning, a certain big V still thought about blog traffic and made a voice on the Internet, saying, "If you put aside the original work and look at it as a movie alone, the plot can actually be given 6 points."

As a result, these remarks were directly sprayed by netizens.

"Abandon the original work? We just went to see the movie because of the original work. At this time, you told me to abandon the original work?"

"I used this IP when I promoted it, now tell me to throw it away? Should I throw it at your house?"

"Most outrageous joke I've heard this year."

"My understanding of the idiom "crossing the river and tearing down the bridge" has deepened."

It is enough to see the anger of netizens for this comment.

And the development of the matter is not limited to the scolding war on the Internet. As the original work Tianxia Bachang has been suing the director of "Nine-story Demon Tower" to court, this matter has changed again.

After all, the adaptation of the original novel is really rare these days.

This is enough to show that the original work is also quite dissatisfied with the adaptation of the work, thinking that he just borrowed the shell of the original work, and in fact the filming has nothing to do with him.

Complaints on the Internet will not come to fruition for a while, such a lawsuit is basically a long-term tug-of-war, Tianxia Bachang is not short of money, it is just expressing his own attitude.

But the media with good deeds has spread the flames of war to "Looking for the Dragon".

In the past few days alone, many reporters have contacted the director or the actors of the crew, and the questions they asked were nothing more than "Nine-story Demon Tower".

"Do you think your movie will be like "The Nine-story Demon Tower"?"

"Do you choose to stay true to the original or choose to adapt?"

"They are all adapted from the same original work. What do you think about the "Nine-story Demon Tower"?"

Questions such as these emerge in endlessly and are also difficult to answer.

Without him, it is because the two crews are really too similar.

Both are adaptations of a novel, and the cast is also unprecedentedly strong.

The "Hu Bayi" here is Zhao Youting, and there is Zhou Di.

The "Sydney Yang" here is Yao Chen, and there is Shu Qi.

There are Tang Yan, Li Chen, and Li Guangjie here, and Huang Bo, Yang Ying, Xia Yu, and Liu Xiaoqing over there.

They are all big stars, and they are all big directors.

Whether it's Lu Chuan or Wu Ershan, both have made achievements and are well-known.

The only difference may be the production company.

"Nine-story Demon Tower" was produced by Huaying, and "Looking for the Dragon" was produced by Wanda.

Because the same novel was divided into 8 copyrights for sale.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the two films will be compared. Even if the reporters don't mention it, the actors between the two crews will discuss it in private.

Regarding the matter of "Nine-story Demon Tower", let's not talk about what the idea is, but it can't be put on the table.

Even Yang Ying was instructed by Wu Ershan.

However, it is unavoidable that some book fans who were disappointed by "The Nine-story Demon Tower" posted sad and indignant posts on the Internet to prove that "Looking for the Dragon" must be a bad movie.

But when the Internet was disturbed by these things, Zhou Di, who was the center of the vortex, quietly escaped from the vortex and appeared in the airport of Shanghai in a low-key manner.
