China Entertainment: The happiness of being a director is as simple as that

Chapter 182 Before I even tried hard, you fell down

Chapter 182 Before I even tried hard, you fell down

Zero o'clock on the 17th.

Zeng Li entered the No. 2 store of Planetary Cinema and started to watch the movie.

Zeng Li doesn't usually watch movies, but today is different. Today is the release date of "House of Flying Daggers".

As Lu Pingan's opponent, Lu Pingan couldn't watch the movie immediately in London, so Zeng Li received this sweet task.

She will watch the movie instead of Lu Pingan, and will tell Lu Pingan by phone after the end.

Of course, on the surface, she still has a second task, which is to watch it with her best friend Zhang Tong.

Zhang Tong likes to watch movies, but he is very busy these days, and finally has time to spare, so he naturally wants to enjoy watching movies.

There are so many movies to watch these days.

Lu Pingan's two movies are said to have a good reputation.

"House of Flying Daggers" is also a must-see. After all, the hype is so fierce that anyone who has the conditions will be aroused by gluttons.

Of course, "Wonderful Night" is definitely a must-see. Who made it starred by my best friend Zeng Li?

But "Wonderful Night" is still early, so I will quench my thirst with "House of Flying Daggers" today, and continue to watch other movies tomorrow.

"The environment here is really nice."

Entering the theater, Zhang Tong sighed again.

The two of them entered the VIP hall, which was arranged by Lu Pingan.

Although Lu Pingan didn't say to give all the theaters to Zeng Li, this kind of boyfriend power really warmed Zeng Li's heart.

Zeng Li also knew that this theater was owned by Lu Pingan, so he was very happy to hear Zhang Tong's praise.

"Yeah, it cost a lot of money."

"Hey, a woman with a boyfriend is so happy!"

Zhang Tong looked envious, and immediately turned into a gossip face, "How are you two doing?"

"That's it, he's busy."

"Then you have to catch him carefully, there are quite a few people staring at him."

"I know, I'm watching a movie!"

Zeng Li grabbed a piece of popcorn and stuffed it into Zhang Tong's mouth, and the screen in front of him lit up at the right time.

The two took off their shoes and automatically nestled in the sofa, ready to watch a movie in comfort.

In fact, both of them knew about "House of Flying Daggers", there was a deeper story here.

That is their classmate International Chapter.

Back then, Zeng Li almost became her.
Shaking his head, Zeng Li stopped thinking about it, and the movie started.

More than two hours later, when the movie ended, Zhang Tong asked, "Is it good?"

"Ziyi is beautiful." Zeng Li said after thinking about it.

"I mean movies."

"It's okay, but it doesn't feel as good as advertised."

"It looks like you're going to win!"

Zhang Tong was very excited.

"Win, what won?"

"You and Ziyi's competition!"

Zhang Tong sat up excitedly, "Ziyi is the protagonist in this movie, and you are also the protagonist in Wonderful Night. You two are in competition!"

"There's no competition, and I don't have many appearances on Wonder Night."

"If this one doesn't work, there's the next one. Your husband is Lu Pingan, so what are you afraid of?"

"Be quiet."

"It's just the two of us in the entire VIP room, so no one will listen."

"Okay, stop talking, it's too late, it's time to go back."

"I think you want a man."

"Palm mouth."

"Hahaha..."

When I got home and took a shower, it was already past 3 o'clock in the evening.

Calculating the time, Lu Ping'an's side is 8:[-] p.m., just right.

She picked up the phone and dialed it, and before it rang three times, Lu Pingan got through.

Zeng Li raised the corners of his mouth, very satisfied with Lu Ping An's second answer: "Ping An."

More than an hour of telephone porridge was over.

Lu Pingan was very satisfied.

The plot of "House of Flying Daggers" is still the same.

So there is no need to talk about the following public opinion.

Old Mouzi, it's hard.

In fact, Lu Pingan didn't think "House of Flying Daggers" was really that bad, at least not as serious as the one-sided criticism from the society that followed.

The more he got involved in the career of directing, the more he felt this way.

He feels that there is still a lot to learn from this film.

But since Lao Mouzi is making a commercial film, he made it so impure, and the announcement was so open-minded.

As a competitor, Lu Pingan naturally had nothing to say.

Just watch the show quietly.
In the next few days, "House of Flying Daggers" first announced its box office success.

Since its national premiere at midnight on the 16th, the box office of "House of Flying Daggers" has exceeded 6000 million in just three days!

This data is even higher than that of "Hero" back then, so everyone is optimistic about "House of Flying Daggers".

Only those who know the inside story know how much water is mixed with this data.

Because of folk word-of-mouth, it collapsed immediately.

A few days later, domestic public opinion on "House of Flying Daggers" could no longer be suppressed, and Lao Mouzi was overwhelmed by criticism from all sides.

In Tianya film review post, all kinds of bad reviews are flooding, so that the overall average score of "House of Flying Daggers" can't exceed 5.5 points!
This also became a "black swan incident" in the entire Tianya forum. Countless people came to wait and see, wanting to see what was going on with Lao Mouzi.

As a result, after reading a circle of film reviews, although there were not many spoilers and everyone maintained good rules, everyone's desire to watch "House of Flying Daggers" did dissipate a lot.

Before the release, it was hyped to the sky, and after the release, it was scolded to the end. The blockbuster that cost Lao Mouzi a lot of effort has become a tool for people to vent their anger, and the blockbuster is cursed.

The producer Zhang Weiping couldn't sit still for the "curse" that appeared on the Internet. He solemnly negotiated that it was a misinterpretation by some media.

However, the scolding is still there.

And master Zhang Yimou had no choice but to listen to the scolding this July.

Many movie fans expressed disappointment with Zhang Yimou's new film.

Among them, a letter sent by a movie fan to a certain media has become the focus of the moment.

The reader in the letter said that ""House of Flying Daggers" worships foreign things very much" and "asked Zhang Yimou three times".

The reader suggested that the story of "House of Flying Daggers" took place in China, why did you go to Ukraine to shoot it?
Why did Lao Mouzi spend so much money to invite neon people to participate in the production of Chinese clothing?

The theme song of "House of Flying Daggers" is sung by international music superstar Catherine Battelle. Couldn't the Chinese language express Zhang Yimou's movie?

In this regard, the producer Zhang Weiping explained for Zhang Yimou: Choosing a location abroad is the meaning of Lao Mouzi. One is the scenery is beautiful, and the other is to avoid being disturbed. As for the songs and costumes, there is no scruple to find foreigners. He said: "Don't tell me that when filming stories about the Tang Dynasty, the actors have to wear Tang Dynasty mandarin jackets? The audience's thinking is too naive. Hollywood blockbusters still invite Lian Jie to be the leading role!"

This kind of reply is a bit confusing, and the three views seem not to be correct, and it will be scolded to death in later generations.

The story of the Tang Dynasty is not a spoof movie, why would the actors wear Tang Dynasty costumes?
It's almost the same now.

Zhang Weiping's arrogant answer caused a lot of public fans to scold back.

But in this era, there is no self-media, no small videos, and there are very few channels for ordinary people to speak out.

So this matter was quickly suppressed.

However, the voices of ordinary people can be suppressed, but you must know that there are still many "big Vs" in this era.

A well-known film critic directly fired: "We were fooled by Zhang Yimou!"

The "big flicker" Northeast Lao Zhao successfully "sold" a pair of abductees to Fan Wei, who has good legs and feet, which makes people admire his "fudge skills".

Now, another "Fudge Immortal" has appeared on the stage, and he is the famous director Zhang Yimou.

He let movie fans see very funny "tragic films", and said: "Only after watching "House of Daggers" did I know that "Hero" is good."

The scene of the skit "Selling Films" can't help but come to mind.

Back then, International Chapter worriedly asked: "Nowadays there are so many Western and Hong Kong films that are good-looking, who will buy the tickets for our "House of Flying Daggers"?"

Zhang Yimou was quite unhappy when he heard this: "It took a lot of time and money to make this film. I haven't slept well for nearly a year. If I don't do it, won't I be compensated? You don't know yet, do you? I just learned from 'Big Huyou', Now I can fool the positive ones, fool the languid ones, fool the villains, and make the young couple live well. I can give him a 'lame'!"

In this way, countless audiences were tricked into watching "Hero" in the cinema under Master Zhang's scheming hype offensive.

Some people swear that they will "never watch Zhang Yimou's movies again", but "House of Flying Daggers" is coming again, and the honest Chinese audience is "fooled" again. I don't know the next time Northeast Lao Zhao will change his car into a wheelchair and sell it again. When Fan Wei was around, what kind of "stuff" would Zhang Yimou use to fool the audience?
It's still wonderful to be scolded by cultural people!
A series of curses, the wall fell down and everyone pushed.

Even the beating of reporters by the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" broke out at the beginning.

The fame of Lao Mouzi I seems to be about to collapse completely.

And the house leak happens to rain overnight.

In less than a week, the pirated version came out.

Although the above efforts are still very strong, and the quality of the existing pirated versions is also extremely poor, this still makes more fans who have not watched the film start to change their minds, and begin to passively wait for the pirated version.

The rest of the conditions are to put the viewing choice on other movies.

For example, Lu Ping'an's two movies are still in theaters, or wait until "Wonderful Night" is released.

The reason for the former is very simple. Watching movies is hard to come by, and "House of Flying Daggers" is very expensive. Why not find a cheaper one with a better reputation?

Then a dramatic scene appeared.

In the last three days of the release cycle of "Happy Death Day", the national box office is close to 800 million, bucking the trend and rising!

This is still the result obtained under the overall arrangement of less than 10%.

By the evening of the 23rd, "Happy Death Day" had a total domestic box office of 4530 million.

According to this year's annual box office calculation, "Death Day" is second only to "Spider-Man 2", breaking into the 8th place of the year!

A reporter interviewed fans: "Is "House of Flying Daggers" good?"

Fans brought the whole family to the scene, and a ten-year-old child rushed to answer: "Happy death day is fun."

Fortunately, this is not the era of short videos, otherwise this kid will definitely become an internet celebrity.

In fact, is "Happy Death Day" really popular?

It's not so good, but it's different with peers.

Not only "Happy Death Day", but "Hunger Platform" also bucked the market and rose.

Also with about 10% of the films, it won nearly 600 million box office in three days, and the total box office also came to 3360 million, also ranked in the top ten of the year.

In the same period, the three-day box office of "House of Flying Daggers" was only 1600 million!This is still under the premise of 80% filming.

In a week, "House of Flying Daggers" climbed to 7700 million with difficulty.

If this trend continues, let alone surpassing 3 million, let alone surpassing "Heroes", or even surpassing [-] million is still a long way off.

Some film critics voiced: "Lu Ping'an is steady and steady, step by step, the old man is eager for quick success, and he will not be guaranteed at the end of the festival!"

This also made Lu Pingan sigh with emotion.

This time, he really fell down before I exerted any strength!
It's so boring!

Of course, many people think that "House of Flying Daggers" is not that bad.

But the general trend cannot be stopped.

And everyone knows that Lu Ping'an's "Wonderful Night" will be released in a week.

As long as the word-of-mouth of "Wonderful Night" does not collapse, "House of Flying Daggers" may exceed 1.5 million!
The goal of 3 million is only half achieved, and it may not even be half achieved.

Zhang Weiping was ashamed of how proud he was when the announcement was made earlier.

For a while, the media shouted: ""House of Flying Daggers" finally encountered an ambush from ten sides. How far is Zhang Yimou, who has lost his reputation, from Wujiang?"

It's just that the media will soon know.

Their predictions are still conservative.

With "House of Flying Daggers" in the front, the following movies will be delicious, not to mention "Wonderful Night"!
7 month 26 number.

Lu Pingan temporarily left the "Batman" crew, and the work of the last few days was handed over to Nolan.

On the 27th, Lu Ping An returned to China and officially started the "Wonderful Night" promotional road show.

This time, Lu Ping'an's slogan was very down-to-earth: "Let the movie return to the movie, this summer vacation, bring your whole family, and let us be happy again!"

 I'm sorry everyone, the work these days is really cumbersome and I can't help myself. I will try my best to adjust and try to save the manuscript!
