This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 418: 30 billion? Poisonous milk?

"Who would have thought that I would cry after watching a funeral movie?"

"Lin Xing's acting is so fucking amazing. Sometimes I wonder how he can perform differently in every drama?"

"Yeah, in 'Killing Ading', he seemed like he could never wake up, and in 'Sunspots', he was so melancholy that it made people feel distressed, but in this movie, he really seemed like a gangster from the beginning."

……

"I'm not a troll. I also don't feel anything for Lin Xing, but I really think he acted well in "Going to Heaven."

"To be honest, I really don't think there's much to say. This movie is going to be a hit."

"I take that back, I think it's a really good movie."

"There aren't many good movies in April, so I think this movie is going to be a bomb."

……

The first batch of audiences who watched the preview have expressed their opinions one after another, and some entertainment reporters have even visited the cinema and conducted on-site interviews.

Obviously, some entertainment reporters are thinking that if they are lucky enough to meet Lin Xing? ? ?

You know, Lin Xing has always preferred airborne operations.

Just like when he was filming "Killing Ading" and "Sunspots", Lin Xing had carried out surprise attacks.

This time, many reporters were following the scene continuously, watching several cinemas one by one. After all, there were only five cinemas showing the film today.

As a result, many reporters were disappointed.

They could only interview some audiences, and all of these audiences gave positive reviews for "Going to Heaven".

It was as if all the audience were prepared as water armies.

But is this possible???
This time, the preview of "Going to Heaven" was relatively random. Besides, although many screenings in the five cinemas offered free movie tickets, it would be too difficult to bribe all the internet trolls with money.

Or how is it possible???

In addition, many reporters are not there to do their jobs, and they can often tell at a glance whether someone is a water army.

So although many reporters were somewhat disappointed, they still wrote an article titled "Lin Xing".

Basically, the word-of-mouth for the preview of "Going to Heaven" exploded.

Because the preview received rave reviews.

Of course, such rave reviews do not mean that "Going to Heaven" will be a box office hit.

After all, the preview is just a small-scale viewing, and what really determines the box office is the subsequent official release.

The previews for two consecutive days were all on a small scale. "Going to Heaven" was not even released to first-tier cities, but was always in the imperial capital.

In response, many cities said: "Why not here?"

In addition, many people in Jiangcheng are also dissatisfied.

"Wasn't it filmed in our Jiangcheng in the first place? And the shadow of our Jiangcheng is everywhere in "Going to Heaven"? Why don't you let us screen it?"

"Didn't Lin Xing say in an interview before that he was very grateful to Jiang Cheng? Is that how he thanked him?"

"You should let us in Jiangcheng also have a preview. I really want to see this movie."

……

After two consecutive days of preview screenings, many people hope that "Going to Heaven" will be released soon.

In addition, there is also a lot of discussion about the five funerals in "Going to Heaven".

At the same time, the most discussed saying is "Nothing matters more than death in life."

This sentence may sound like nonsense, but many people actually cannot see it that way.

Especially for students like Yan Xiaofang, being single like Zeng Li is incomprehensible.

In fact, the people who are truly touched are more middle-aged people like Zhang Yida who come to watch the movie. For example, he comes to watch the movie more as an escape.

When people reach middle age, especially after the age of 35, they basically face unemployment. Unfortunately, Zhang Yida is unemployed now.

Being over 40, he actually has a psychological expectation of unemployment. After all, the midlife crisis has been talked about on the Internet in recent years.

This is exactly the case. Zhang Yida has actually been making preparations for the past two years, but after he lost his job, he realized that his preparations were of no use.

No company wants to hire a 40-year-old middle-aged person, and some temporary jobs don't pay much money.

Zhang Yida has a mortgage and a car loan, and he has elderly parents and young children to take care of. When the economic environment was good a few years ago, he wanted a second child. After all, he blindly overestimated himself.

Zhang Yida has been looking for a job for three months now. At the beginning, he really thought that he could find a good job, and he didn't want to go out of town, so when a friend helped him find a good job in another place, he declined.

Now Zhang Yida is regretting his decision so much because this is his only chance to get a job.

For more than two months since then, Zhang Yida has had no work.

He now pretends to come to work every day because he doesn't dare tell his parents and wife. After all, it's no use telling them and it will only make them worry.

But as a middle-aged person, when you have no income for a month, you will panic, because the whole family depends on you, and if you have no income for three months, you will almost collapse.

This time, it was Zhang Yida’s good friend who drew a movie ticket for him so that he could relax.

To be honest, for Zhang Yida, he is not facing death now. You can say that everything he is facing now is a small matter.

But if all the little things piled up together, they can still be fatal.

After watching "Life Events", Zhang Yida was indeed quite touched, because he believed that there was still time for everything.

Cherish the people in front of you.

This is what the movie tells everyone, and it was also Zhang Yida’s first reaction after watching it.

For this reason, when he was surrounded by media reporters for interviews, Zhang Yida only said one sentence: "This is a movie that makes people rethink their lives after watching it."

This statement left some reporters a little confused.

How is this still valuable?

You know, generally speaking, if a movie has value, or even becomes an educational movie, then it is often easy for the movie to fail.

After all, no one likes to be educated while watching a movie.

But "Going to Heaven" is not to educate everyone. This movie is like immersing the audience in it, and immersing in other people's funerals. There is no preaching in the movie, and even many people did not feel preached after watching this movie.

Just like Zhang Yida, he originally thought that he had lived a hard life, and many little things seemed to crush him. But as it said in the movie, people should often look at what they have.

I have a son and a daughter, a car and a house, a virtuous wife, my parents are alive and well, and I am healthy and free from disasters. What's the big deal? ?

So Zhang Yida really wasn't being polite, he genuinely thought this was a good movie.

There are many people like Zhang Yida who think the movie is good after watching it, but the most important thing is that they are not really moviegoers.

Throughout April, the market was very bad. Forget about breaking 4 million in one day, it didn't even reach 2000 million.

Cinemas are even desperately hoping that a movie will come along to shake up the market.

But to be honest, it's too difficult.

Because all movies need to consider the release date. In April, the Qingming Festival is a small release date, but this kind of release date often cannot boost the overall market.

It is also because of this that, apart from the already scheduled "Going to Heaven", the other films in this year's Qingming Festival are all low-budget films.

There is only one blockbuster, and that is the Hollywood animated film "Coco", which received rave reviews when it was released abroad.

Apart from this one, the others are low-budget literary, suspense and comedy films.

Among the films currently scheduled for release on April 4, Coco has the highest screening rate, reaching 2%, followed by Going to Heaven, which has a screening rate of 35% due to its reputation due to the preview, followed by several other films.

In fact, everyone has a similar idea, that is, we cannot compete during the big schedules, and we will definitely be cannon fodder if we go to the big schedules. In that case, let's go to the small schedules.

Anyway, Qingming Festival is also a three-day holiday, although there are some adjustments.

Just like "The Hunt", a movie about telecommunications fraud, was aimed at the Qingming Festival from the very beginning.

This movie is said to be adapted from real cases, and the actors are both popular and skilled in acting. At the same time, the director of this movie used to be a policeman. He even said in an interview that everyone must watch this movie because it can prevent telecommunications fraud.

Obviously, there have been many movies about telecommunications fraud in recent years, but not many high-quality ones.

The cast of "The Hunt" is quite good, and everyone is looking forward to it. The actors have been working hard to promote the film, and theaters are also optimistic about it. After all, the director is very knowledgeable about telecommunications fraud.

For this reason, the screening share of "The Hunt" reached 18%, second only to "Going to Heaven".

In other words, the Qingming Festival on April 4 will basically be a competition between the three movies "Coco," "Up to Heaven," and "The Hunt."

Of course, most people are not very optimistic about "Coco".

Even Hollywood blockbusters are not good, how can Hollywood animated films be good???
"I'd better just watch "Going to Heaven" during the Qingming Festival. It's said that this movie is not that depressing, and everyone who has seen it thinks it's good."

"Yeah, I'm also going to watch "Going to Heaven". If nothing else, I still believe in Lin Xing."

"I think Coco is pretty good after watching the trailer. The lead actor is actually a little boy. This story of bravely pursuing dreams also involves the Day of the Dead. I think it's quite interesting."

"The Qingming Festival is for the funeral industry and the Day of the Dead is celebrated overseas. You know what, they are both quite suitable."

……

The discussions among many audiences do not really determine the theater’s screening schedule, and even "Coco" has the most prime time slots.

Obviously, people in the theater had already seen the movie in advance, and they even thought that "Coco" might also be a bomb.

There were even people in the cinema who shouted: "This movie is guaranteed to make 30 billion yuan."

Some film critics in a small circle even said: "Chinese entertainment will never be able to make such a movie. Hollywood is Hollywood, and we will not accept it."

Others said: "Chinese animation is almost dead. It's really hard to make good Chinese animation."

In this regard, Lao Zhong, who has been paying attention to the film industry, said: "Why is it always Huayu Films that are in trouble? Guoman that is in trouble? And I suggest that you theater staff and practitioners should save a little bit of luck. Still guaranteeing 30 billion? Be careful not to blow it up? "

It is obvious that Lao Zhong is out of touch with the film review circle.

Because she never thinks that she should reflect on the fact that Chinese entertainment movies are not as good as Hollywood blockbusters. After all, what has Hollywood blockbusters become in recent years? ?

If these Hollywood blockbusters were domestic films, a bunch of film critics and even practitioners would have already rushed in to say that your country's films are doomed.

As a result, because they are from Hollywood, they brag and look for patches.

Is it cheap? ? ?

Lao Zhong mainly wanted to criticize this. As for Chinese animation, the current highest-grossing Chinese animation "Bear vs. Sheep" is far better than all Hollywood animations.

As for "Coco", Lao Zhong only watched the trailer and thought it might be good, but what did you say that the minimum box office was 30 billion?
Aren't you afraid of being killed by the poison milk? ? ?
So Lao Zhong did not forget to make a joke: "You are always blindly confident about the failures of Hollywood box office, but why are you always so pessimistic about Lin Xing who has never failed? Instead of thinking that the box office of "Coco" can break 30 billion, you might as well believe that the box office of Lin Xing's "Going to Heaven" can break 30 billion."

"What nonsense! Old Zhong, are you really going to ignore the Basic Law just to lick Lin Xing?"

"Le, I actually want to ask you, Lao Zhong, don't you really know the ceiling of art films?"

"That's right. Art films are a niche genre, and even Sunspots only grossed over 20 billion yuan. How can you expect Lin Xing's film Going to Heaven to gross over 30 billion yuan? And in April?"

"Funny, Lao Zhong, do you have to be so hypocritical? On the one hand, you say others are toxic, but I think you are the most toxic one."

……

Obviously, Lao Zhong is a relatively new figure among film critics, and even in the circle, so naturally she would be bombarded by everyone for such a Weibo post.

Moreover, this was because Lao Zhong was displeased with the others first, and as a result of her attack, she was beaten up by the others.

In response to this, Yan Xiaofang, a loyal fan of Lao Zhong and currently considered a loyal fan of Lin Xing, wrote a film review to support Lao Zhong.

Yan Xiaofang said that she might not be able to understand death or farewell, and she even rarely attends funerals, but she was still moved by the movie "Going to Heaven".

From this film review, it can be seen that Yan Xiaofang is commenting on "Going to Heaven" from the perspective of her students.

At the same time, she also agreed with Lao Zhong's judgment.

"I think 'Going to Heaven' might actually be able to break 30 billion."

Even Lin Xing's fans were a little panicked by Yan Xiaofang's words. You know, fans are extremely knowledgeable.

Nima.

Do you need such toxic milk?
