I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 82

The next day, when Wan Qingshan came to the lobby, he found that except Zeng Li, Chen Kun and others had bloodshot eyes, and it seemed that they had not slept well.

"Why, no one has slept well?"

Chen Kun, who was already familiar with Wan Qingshan, smiled and put his hand on Wan Qingshan's shoulder.
"Director Wan, the box office of the movies I made before has never exceeded 3000 million. Now the movie I am starring in has a box office of 540 million on the first day. Do you think I can sleep?"

"Then you have to be prepared. The road show will not stop because you haven't slept well. Today we are in Guangzhou, and tomorrow we have to go to Shenzhen. You guys, don't let your guard down."

"Director Wan, don't worry, even if I crawl, I will crawl to the road show." Chen Kun promised with a smile.

After a few people finished breakfast, they got in the car and went to the road show.

At this time, China Film had already announced the news that "The True Meaning of Love" had a box office of 600 million on the first day.

Falsifying box office reports is a common occurrence in the industry. 540 million is claimed to be 600 million, which is already considered an understatement.

Previously, "A World Without Thieves" had a box office of 600 million on its first day. Wan Qingshan thought that it would be more than 500 million in reality.

But when Han Sanping called yesterday, he said, "The box office of "The True Meaning of Love" on the first day was 540 million. Qingshan, you are giving me a big star. The box office of "A World Without Thieves" on the first day was just over 500 million."

Only then did Wan Qingshan understand how exaggerated the false box office reports in the industry are now.

China Film Group announced to the public that after the box office of "The True Meaning of Love" reached 600 million on the first day, there was no need to spend money to buy news. Major news newspapers immediately published it in order to gain popularity.

As a result, the front pages of today's entertainment news newspapers were all about "The True Meaning of Love" beating "A World Without Thieves" with a box office of 600 million to win the box office championship of the day.

People are blindly obedient. If you see a lot of people going to see it, others will follow.

Therefore, driven by the popularity of newspapers and online, the box office of "The True Meaning of Love" continued to rise.

That night!

"Director Han, I would like to ask how the attendance rate is and how many films are currently scheduled?"

Han Sanping's laughing voice came from the phone,

"The attendance rate is good, about 50.00%. Regarding the film schedule, tomorrow the film schedule of "The True Meaning of Love" will be adjusted to 42%, and the film schedule of "A World Without Thieves" has been squeezed to 38%.

It is estimated that the total box office of "The True Meaning of Love" will be around 8000 million. If "Kung Fu" were not released ten days later, the total box office should be over [-] million. Qingshan, you are a big success this time. "

"Director Han, it was our great success."

"Haha, okay, you are tired from running the road show, so I won't disturb your rest."

After Wan Qingshan hung up the phone, Chen Kun immediately asked, "Director Wan, how much is the box office today?"

"620 million, the first of the day again! Okay, you guys should go back and rest quickly. Looking at the bloodshot eyes, I'm worried that you'll end up in the hospital before the road show is over."

Chen Kun, who was excited by the box office, laughed and said, "Don't worry, Director Wan. In order not to delay the road show, tonight, I will knock myself out and sleep."

"Director Wan, today's box office is out. Can you estimate the total box office now?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"Because "Kung Fu" will be released ten days later, China Film estimates that the total box office should be around 8000 million."

"8000 million, that's fine too."

Gao Yuanyuan was immediately disappointed. A female lead with a box office of over [-] million yuan and a female lead in a movie with [-] female actors are on a different level.

"Yuanyuan, 8000 million is just okay. Apart from Director Zhang's movie, which movie can have a box office of 8000 million." Zeng Li stepped forward and smiled.

Gao Yuanyuan just smiled. After knowing that the box office on the first day reached 540 million, she has been fantasizing about the title of a heroine with a box office of over 8000 million. Now the total box office is expected to be only [-] million, how can she not be disappointed.

Chen Kun and others didn't sleep much last night, and they had another day of roadshows today. No matter how excited they were, they couldn't resist the exhaustion of their bodies.After knowing the box office, we briefly chatted for a few words and then went back to the room to sleep.

Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast and went to the airport to fly to Hangzhou to continue the road show.

China Film announced that yesterday's box office reached 650 million, and "The True Meaning of Love" won the box office championship for two consecutive days, making reporters unable to sit still.

On the day of the Hangzhou roadshow, reporters began to follow and conduct interviews.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, in the theater, after Chen Kun and others interacted with the audience, when they were about to turn around and leave, a reporter in the audience stood up.

"Director Wan, when interviewed by reporters this afternoon, Director Feng said that some movies are thoughtless, meaningless and just garbage movies. Such movies should not be released in theaters. I don't know, Director Wan, what do you have to say about this. "Chen Kun and others were stunned in surprise. Don't some movies just explicitly say "The True Meaning of Love"?

Wan Qingshan suddenly smiled in his heart.

"Director Feng is my senior, and as a junior, I should not object to his opinions.

But on this matter, I think I still have to refute Director Feng.I feel that compared to literary and artistic films, most commercial films seem to be thoughtless and meaningless.According to Director Feng, I think Director Feng himself should switch to making literary films. "

The reporter immediately laughed. Wan Qingshan and Feng Xiaogang were quarreling with each other, breaking news.

After returning to the hotel, Wan Qingshan immediately called Li Yancheng.

"Brother Cheng, there should be news about me and Feng Xiaogang arguing with each other in a while. You can help me make it popular on the Internet. You can help me pay for it first, and I will give it to you when I get back."

Li Yancheng on the other end of the phone was at a loss for a while before asking, "Qingzi, why are you hyping up this kind of news? Be careful of others saying you don't respect your seniors."

"Having popularity can drive box office. As for respecting seniors? What kind of senior is he? He is just a veteran who is worried about his status.

By the way, Brother Cheng, when you are making fun of this post, remember to interact with the posts criticizing "A World Without Thieves". "

"I understand, you want to use this fire to increase the popularity of posts criticizing "A World Without Thieves"."

Wan Qingshan responded to Feng Xiaogang's insinuation and appeared in online headlines that night.

Feng Xiaogang has been the New Year King for many years and has a good reputation in the hearts of the audience.

Wan Qingshan's first two films were both literary and artistic films, and his fans are also those who like literary and artistic films.Now that he has switched to commercial films, even his former fans cannot accept it.

So when the news first came out, the comments were overwhelming!
"I support Director Feng. I have watched both "The True Meaning of Love" and "A World Without Thieves." "A World Without Thieves" is much better than "The True Meaning of Love." "The True Meaning of Love" is just fun and has no connotation. "

"Wan Qingshan has taken the wrong path. He should continue to make literary films. "Selection" is really good. I also bought the CD and watched the banned "Heart". It is indeed a film that won the Venice Golden Lion Award. Also, I won't Aoyama's acting skills in this movie are, I dare say, the best in the country.

As for "The True Meaning of Love", not to mention the connotation, there is no logic at all. It is too fake to swap bodies out of thin air. "

,,,,,,
There are also some who support Wan Qingshan, but compared to those who support Feng Xiaogang, there are too few.

Not long after, the navy organized by Li Yancheng joined in.

"I support Wan Qingshan. I don't want to talk nonsense. I go to comedy movies just to have fun. Don't talk nonsense to me. If I want to learn big principles, I just read books and watch movies."

"What you said above is right. I have watched both movies. Although "The True Meaning of Love" is a bit fake, I enjoyed watching it.

And if "The True Meaning of Love" is false, then "A World Without Thieves" is also false?If nothing else, just search for the story about postal remittance charges and you will know what the problem is. "

"What Director Wan said is fine. If you want a movie to be ideological, you should make a literary film. Also, I feel that Feng Xiaogang, who has made so many commercial films, is actually the same person who has won awards in Europe for his literary films. The director said that movies should be thoughtful, isn’t it so funny?”

,,,,,,
People follow blindly. Many people who criticized Wanqingshan before saw that there were more people criticizing Wanqingshan, so they followed suit and criticized Wanqingshan.

As soon as the trolls who posted more than a dozen comments each joined in, the situation immediately turned around, and they started criticizing Feng Xiaogang again.

Later, Li Yancheng realized that he criticized Feng Xiaogang too much, so he immediately allocated some naval forces to support Feng Xiaogang, which made the two sides appear evenly matched.

If they are evenly matched, they will become more noisy and popular, and by the way, the posts criticizing the excessive postal remittance fees in "A World Without Thieves" will become even more popular.

In the hotel at night, Wan Qingshan looked at the rising popularity on the Internet and felt very happy.

After waiting for Wan Qingshan to read some comments, Chen Kun and Gao Yuanyuan hurried over with his ringing mobile phone.

"Director Wan, hurry up, the phone is ringing."

"Hello, Director Han."

"Thank you Director Han."

After hanging up the phone with a few words, Wan Qingshan looked at Chen Kun and others with anxious eyes and said with a smile, "Today's box office is 680 million, you can go to bed peacefully."

"Okay, okay, Director Wan, I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going back to sleep."

The box office was not only stable at 600 million, but actually rose to nearly 700 million, which made Chen Kun and others beam with joy and turned around to go back to sleep.
