Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 214 A moment of 'surprise', a shocking rush
"..."

The premiere of Detective Tang 2 came to a successful conclusion yesterday, and the schedule that required Xu Nian's direct appearance is almost over.

At the moment, I am enjoying myself... I am practicing singing at Lin Jianian's residence.

I don’t have time to pay attention to what’s going on online.

Of course, as a top-notch, popular top-notch, and conscientious artist, Xu Nian will squeeze out time to learn about the latest entertainment news.

Agent Meng Chao, who is not always competent at all times, happens to be away right now.

Xu Nian was not very good at collecting and organizing information. Seeing that he could not catch the latest news, Lin Jianian stepped forward.

She simply said: ""Ten Thousand Cities" uses the previews as the official release, which is interesting. It will probably have some impact on Detective Tang 2."

Then Lin Jianian expressed his opinion: "But I personally feel that this film will lose money."

"The script itself is only of a passing standard. Lu Mingkai made many changes on his own initiative, making the basic narrative not clear enough."

"He himself is obsessed with highlighting his performance level, and even shows off his skills a little too much, but no one on the crew brought it up..."

In this regard, Xu Nian said casually: "When people become famous, they are surrounded by good people, and they speak pleasantly, but they no longer tell the truth."

"In this kind of environment, some people can distinguish between compliments and showing off, while some people can't tell the difference and think they are really that awesome..."

"This is probably what Lu Mingkai is going through now. Without me, he wouldn't have won the Hundred Flowers Best Actor last year, but he thinks I'm just relying on my popularity."

After saying this, Xu Nian changed the topic: "As for turning the preview into an official release, it actually does more harm than good."

"And the risk is very high. Once there is a bad reputation, the whole thing will collapse very quickly."

"Generally, those who are truly confident do not need or need to play like this."

Lin Jia Nian deeply agrees, and she also thinks so.

Of course, as an important investor in this drama, Lin Jia Nian still hopes that this drama can... hit the streets.

Anyway, she can make money whether she is on the street or not.

Moreover, she initially chose to invest to dig a hole for Lu Mingkai.

Dare to bully Xu?
If I don't cheat you to death, I'm considered kind-hearted.

With the help of Lin Jianian, Xu Nianyou watched some promotional clips posted to the Weishi platform.

Judging from his rudimentary knowledge, the remaining possibility of not making a splash in the epic fantasy blockbuster that originally emphasized both art and commerce is gone.

The entire premiere was completely centered around the false praise, and the audience did not mention the outstanding points.

It cannot be said that it has no merits, nor can it be said that it has no advantages.

Therefore, Xu Nian did not pay too much attention. After briefly chatting with Lin Jianian, he continued to practice singing.

Before the National Day holiday, he wanted to squeeze every minute of his time...

We must practice singing, record songs, and shoot music videos honestly.

If you want... don't move as long as you can. Practice singing for 3 minutes and rest for [-] hours~

Regarding the sudden general release of "Ten Thousand Cities", online social media platforms such as Weibo have different opinions.

But there are so many tossing and turning.

Even at first, it was just a lively speech, and I don’t know which little cutie who is not very ‘sensible’ suddenly spoke...

"On-set cuts are the same old-fashioned kind of warmth and emotion. They talk about how hard it is to shoot, how difficult it is to get a certain shot... This is an epic fantasy blockbuster, can't we get rid of this old routine? Now we are doing it again This kind of routine can show off the characteristics of the film, right?"

This speech resonated with many people.

Zhigua netizens and passers-by spoke out to express their feelings.

"I don’t know when it started. The promotion direction of Chinese-language films and TV shows has become the same. They insist on picking out certain scenes to talk about their superb acting skills. It took several months to shoot each film for hours, and each time it meets the requirements. Is the successful performance of emotions so surprising?”

"Why highlight the age of the actors to show how difficult this scene is for the actors themselves? I don't think it's possible, so I don't have to do it."

"As for how hard filming is, making money is inherently difficult. If you think it's hard, you don't have to do it. Why bother yourself?"

"To be honest, if there hadn't been Detective 2 and the audience at the premiere of Detective 2 directly hit the creative staff with various famous scenes, I don't know that the film promotion could have been so simple and direct."

"You have to know that Xu Nian is a young actor that you old drama fans don't like. He relies on his face to get traffic. As a result, the movie he stars in must have some laughs and plots. At the premiere, the audience can do whatever they want. Come up with a few famous scenes, where are you seasoned actors? Are you just left with over-exerting acting skills?"

"..."

How can I put it... Everything in the world has no harm without comparison.

The mainstream promotion strategies of Chinese-language films and television in recent years are actually a bit abnormal.

After the rise of short video platforms like Weishi, people are more receptive to slicing, so many people who publish propaganda directly select key points and slice them.

If the main character can't move the audience, can't it also move you?
It is necessary to read and understand some live scenes fully but not necessary, for fear that the audience will not be able to see the complex emotions inside.

Actually... I have Mao's complicated emotions.

Anyone who has done reading comprehension knows that the author himself may just write casually and not have so many messy thoughts.

The promotion of film and television dramas must be so self-motivating, it will only make the audience feel embarrassed and disgusted.

Especially for big-screen movies, the support of a few fans is not enough.

What is needed is a large number of viewers to go to the cinema and buy tickets with real money to support it.

If just the support of top fans is enough, then Sung Kyung won't stay away from movies for a long time.

Now, this sudden outbreak can only be said...Lu Mingkai is unlucky.

The audience's emotions have already accumulated to a certain point.

However, a sharp contrast appeared again, so it broke out and focused the fire on "Ten Thousand Cities World"...

However, to put it bluntly, these discussions at the level of public opinion alone are not that influential.

At least that's the case for "Ten Thousand Cities".

The mood of netizens often fluctuates between wind and rain.

In particular, this kind of thing, which is a common problem in the industry, is difficult to affect "Wancheng Tianxia" from the level of public opinion.

Those who are truly powerful and able to take action must have box office data supported by real money.

Therefore, Lu Mingkai didn't care at all about the current direction of public opinion.

He is convinced that his performance in "Ten Thousand Cities" is impeccable and every move he makes is textbook level.

He even believes that he has redefined what performance is this time.

This part was first vaguely raised by the crew and the staff around them, and then Lu Mingkai took the initiative.

Think there is nothing wrong with it.

In addition, Lu Mingkai believes that "Ten Thousand Cities" will completely open up the vast market for Chinese fantasy and even fantasy films.

It will be a pioneering work.

From now on, there will be a new blue ocean in the Chinese film and television market.

This view is shared by everyone on the crew, because this is their goal!
and so……

Looking at the film's creators and staff around him, Lu Mingkai waved his hand: "What's the hurry? Let the box office data speak for itself."

"The afternoon has just begun. Today is still a working day, and evening is the highlight, not to mention..."

"The current box office data is not bad, it has exceeded [-] million."

Everyone around him nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, the situation is great."

Yes.

Although the public opinion trend is not good, although there are not many professional film reviews on Rotten Persimmon, and although there is no word of mouth yet;

However, the situation is indeed very good.

Because there are real screenings before noon and open screenings after noon.

It has just begun, and already more than 20 people have purchased tickets to support it.

…………

In the middle of the afternoon, it is the time when you are not in the mood to go to work, and countless office workers are fishing openly.

Compared with Weishi, which focuses on short videos, there are some situations where it is inconvenient to fish, and the Weibo platform is more convenient to fish.

Compared with Mr. Xu, who has always been on the hot searches, several new hot search topics are also more fresh in discussion.

Some fun-lovers have even started placing bets.

But the object of the bet is the flag planted by Mr. Xu... After all, you only need to know a little bit to know that box office has a lot to do with film schedule.

Without a film schedule, even booking the venue doesn't mean much.

With the current good situation of "Ten Thousand Cities", it will be difficult for Tang Detective 2 to grab a relatively generous film schedule.

Interestingly, in such an atmosphere, the box office of "Ten Thousand Cities" did not surge.

It's past six o'clock in the evening, and there are less than three available shows today, and the box office of "Ten Thousand Cities" has not exceeded 3 million.

What's even more interesting is that some people are starting to pay more attention to this movie.

for example……

"Having said so much, why haven't I seen any movie reviews? Don't people who have watched "Ten Thousand Cities" come out to talk about this drama? Do you recommend it or not? Is it good or bad? Is there no conclusion?"

This speech peeled off a little bit of the bustling skin.

Some people have become aware of some potentially surprising developments...

.........

At 10:21 pm, all theaters across the country ended ticket sales for the day.

There is no longer a movie that has not been screened today, and all platforms can only purchase movie tickets for the next day.

In other words, the box office data for the first day of screening of "Ten Thousand Cities" has been released.

The final figure is... 3899 million.

Speaking of serious screenings alone, it should be the best data in history, but...

At this time, some movie viewing reviews were dug out from the numerous comments on various social media platforms.

"Not recommended. Considering that it is a rare attempt in the epic fantasy genre in our country, I will not review it on Rotten Persimmon."

"I can only say that I hope there will be a sequel to this theme. Lu Mingkai is not suitable for this type of film. His performance is too hard and it is very dramatic."

"In the lengthy plot, nothing left an impression on me. The editing was too messy."

"The sense of story is relatively poor, and more importantly, the acting skills that have been praised are not that amazing."

"..."

Netizens who eat melon know that things are getting a bit bad.

It seems...a bit surprising~
