This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

To be honest, people are a little tired of movies about divorce this year because the themes are too similar.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the three recent movies "A Way Out", "Divorce Cooling-off Period" and "Happy Breakup" have already made everyone a little tired.

Because for this kind of subject matter, you can also innovate it?
But not only did they fail to innovate, but each of their films tended to create extreme confrontations between men and women.

"My life is not going well because I got married."

"If I hadn't married a piece of trash, I would probably be a little princess now."

"No man is good. If there were no men in this society, life would be better."

"If a woman gets married and has children, she is entering a life of hell. Only by remaining unmarried and childless can she be safe."

……

In short, this kind of extreme opposition will even lead to someone being hired to make some provocative remarks at the premiere.

For example, during the roadshow of "Divorce Cooling-off Period", a man stood up and said: "I think women only care about rights and don't care about responsibilities. I think it's great that the country has introduced this divorce cooling-off period. My wife was deceived by some rural feminists and wanted a divorce, but she calmed down after a month of the divorce cooling-off period and is now living a good life with me. So I think your movie is too extreme."

Normally, if someone hates a movie, they will rarely go to see it, and many people will not criticize the creators.

Also, those who are familiar with roadshows know that some of them are hired as agents and are arranged very early on. These are all extras, and their acting skills are all quite good.

Why did the movie "Divorce Cooling-off Period" finally reach 3 million at the box office? ? ?
It’s because they took the hype to an extreme.

Even "Divorce Cooling-off Period" advertises: "Every woman should watch this movie. If you still want to get married and have children after watching it, you are a true warrior."

They reap extreme benefits in the short term, and then use moral kidnapping and even various fictitious stories to move the audience.

In short, all the film reviews are like: "This movie reminds me of my ex-boyfriend, ex-husband, etc." and so on.

Such film reviews are usually short essay-like, basically full of emotional values, with no evaluation of the film.

There were also some big film critics who were accused of "men really can't empathize" and so on just for slightly criticizing the movie.

In fact, they didn’t think about it. The director of "Divorce Cooling-off Period" is a male director named Meng Jing. He is good at shooting films that keep up with hot topics.

Fifteen years ago, the online public opinion was not like this. At that time, there were more blind date themes, and even more topics about men and women. Meng Jing made a movie called "Twelve Women", which was a story about a male protagonist going on blind dates with twelve actresses. The box office exceeded 100 million yuan at the time.

Judging from current public opinion, the male protagonist of "Twelve Women" is not only extremely philandering, but also extremely controlling and even commits mild domestic violence. However, people did not think so at the time.

Therefore, most filmmakers don’t have any so-called responsibility. They shoot any topic just for the box office.

For the sake of box office, I can be misogynistic and I can also be patriotic.

There's everything to talk about.

But the audience is not stupid. They can be fooled by you once, but they can’t be fooled by you ten times.

Even if your dish is the most delicious food, the audience will vomit if they eat it every day.

Therefore, "Happy Divorce" just happened to hit the audience's rebellious psychology.

Because when you watch "Happy Divorce", you will find that the routine is quite serious.

It mainly tells the story of a couple who got married for true love, but then they often quarreled because of their children. Then the mother-in-law came to see the child but used a folk remedy to kill the child when the child had a fever. So the couple started to divorce, but there is a cooling-off period for divorce, and they experienced all kinds of things during the cooling-off period, and finally concluded that they can be happy only through divorce.

If you haven't watched the three movies "A Way Out", "Divorce Cooling-off Period" and "Happy Divorce" this year, then you will think that "Happy Divorce" is okay and the actors' acting skills are also pretty good.

But if you have watched these three movies this year, or even heard of them, you will think: "Why is it still the same routine?"

"I'm really impressed. Does this movie treat people as fools? So when the hero's mother used folk remedies to cover her face and prick her with needles, the hero didn't care at all? The heroine also thought it was okay?"

"What about IQ?? I can understand that the old man in the family didn't even graduate from elementary school and has all kinds of feudal superstitions, but you two, one is a doctor and the other is a forensic doctor, and you let the old man do whatever he wants?"

"All the men in this movie are bad guys, as if the misfortunes suffered by women are all the fault of men. Have you found the key to the box office?"

"I understand you want to make a movie criticizing men, but can you also criticize the 'cooling-off period for divorces'? It's even worse than the last movie 'The Cooling-off Period for Divorce'."

……

In short, on the National Day, the first movie to collapse was "Happy Divorce".

This time, not only male audiences cursed, but female audiences also cursed.

Everyone thinks that this movie is just exploiting the plight of women and giving them some spiritual cock soup. Who wouldn't want to criticize it? ?

People feel that one movie's indoctrination is somewhat useful, but if several movies in a row follow basically the same routine, anyone would be quite bored.

Just like that, "Happy Divorce" was the first to collapse. Because the screening schedule of this movie was originally relatively low, the director Xu Yi's mentality collapsed.

You know, although "Happy Divorce" has not been previewed, people in the industry who have watched the film think that "Happy Divorce" will be a dark horse.

After all, in the entire National Day period, only "Happy Divorce" can be considered a realistic gender theme.

Considering the box office of the previous three films, and the fact that this coincided with the National Day holiday, many people felt that although "Happy Divorce" had only 5 screenings on the first day, many people felt that it could completely make a comeback relying on word of mouth.

The result was quite embarrassing.

Not only did the reputation of "Happy Divorce" completely collapse, but the box office data came out the next day and it was a death sentence.

This "Happy Divorce" is not even as good as the children's animated film "Goku vs. Erlang Shen".

The box office on the first day was only 600 million, and the attendance rate was less than 5%, which was a complete loss from the start.

On the contrary, although the reputation of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" also collapsed a bit, it still ranked first in the box office on the first day.

On October 10, the data network was updated, and the box office results for the first day of the National Day holiday were officially released.

The first place, "Unretreat from the Japanese Aggression", took in 22 million yuan at the box office on the first day with a screening schedule of 1.95%, almost breaking 2 million yuan.

The second place, "A Good Man", took in 20 million yuan at the box office on the first day with a screening schedule of 1.7%.

The third place is "Customized Couples", which took in 16 million on the first day with a screening rate of 9000%.

……

The box office results of these top three films were not too surprising.

Basically, the screening schedule on the first day determines the first day's box office.

If everyone is surprised, it's probably just that "Customized Couples" didn't make over 9 million yuan on the first day. It seems that Sharp's box office appeal is really a little bit lacking. The next one is "Dangerous Liaisons". Although it only had 3500% of the screenings, it took in million yuan on the first day. Many people thought that this movie would flop, but it turned out to be surprisingly good at the box office.

As for "Wrong Love", it also earned 2500 million on the first day. Currently, people have mixed reviews about this movie, but everyone says it exceeded expectations.

At least, both "Dangerous Liaisons" and "Love Is Not Blind" did not completely fall behind even though they only had 9% of the screenings on the first day of the National Day holiday.

As for "Divorce Cooling-off Period", it has completely fallen behind, or has been sentenced to death.

Because of the box office situation, it is impossible to schedule any more screenings today.

At the roadshow, Xu Yi even shed tears. He said to the audience, "If this movie is really bad, I can accept the poor box office, but we made this movie with great care, and except for a small number of audiences who really don't like it, at least 90% of the audiences give it positive reviews. However, it has been smeared by so many people..."

In short, the central idea of ​​Xu's translation can be summed up in one sentence: "There is nothing wrong with our film, but someone wants to harm us."

Of course, Xu Yi only said that someone wanted to harm them and that they were defamed by internet trolls. He did not say that the audience’s appreciation level was not high enough.

As for the roadshow of "Unretreat Against the Japanese Aggression", it was even more interesting. Ouyang Qing almost went close to the enemy and used his ultimate skill again.

He believes that he has suffered too much slander over the years, and much of this slander was simply hearsay by people who do not understand the inside story.

Ouyang Qing even felt that many people who didn't watch the movie were just following the trend and criticizing it, and some were just doing it for the traffic.

Box office represents everything.

In Ouyang Qing's opinion, the filming of "Unretreat Against the Japanese Aggression" involved too many people, and the crew was quite large, but every actor was very cooperative, so this movie was made.

So far, the film is quite successful.

Small doubts or attacks from the outside world are of no use.

Ouyang Qing even said on the spot: "The success of "Resisting the Japanese" proves that the audience's appreciation level is extremely high."

Then, after the data network was updated on October 10, the box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" collapsed.

Normally, the box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" should not have dropped so much on the second day.

It dropped directly to 1 million.

That's right.

"Resist the Japanese Aggression" earned 1.95 million on the first day, almost 2 million. This made Ouyang Qing and the publicity and promotion team of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" wonder whether the box office could exceed 2 million on the second day.

In the end, let alone breaking 2 million, the box office was only 0.95 million.

Not only that, after two consecutive days of performances, word of mouth has basically spread out.

That is to say, the negative reviews of "Unretreat from the Japanese" are increasing sharply. Many people think that Ouyang Qing is completely portraying a Hollywood-style revolutionary hero, and even added a love scene, which is simply hilarious.

Lao Zhong said it more bluntly. She thought Ouyang Qing was indeed capable, but he was not suitable for shooting this kind of mainstream film because she thought Ouyang Qing would not understand the martyrs at all. What Ouyang Qing shot was only slightly better than the legendary drama.

On the contrary, Lao Zhong was quite positive about "A Good Man". She thought that Master Guo did have many problems, but the good thing about Master Guo was that he always maintained a good level, and Master Guo was very dependent on the script.

A good script can be even more powerful in the hands of Master Guo.

Just like this time's "A Good Man", Lao Zhong basically thinks it is better than all the previous ones shot by Master Guo.

In addition, Lao Zhong suggested that Ouyang Qing learn from Master Guo and stop thinking about taking shortcuts, being self-centered, not listening to the audience's opinions, and even thinking that he was not wrong, etc.

Not only that, at the roadshow, someone even got close to Ouyang Qing and asked him why he had been making such bad movies in recent years.

As a result, Ouyang Qing got angry.

"What's bad about them? How can the movies I've made over the years be bad? How can a movie that has a minimum box office of over 100 million be a bad movie???"

"I believe the audience is not stupid. If I make bad movies every time, how can the audience support me???"

"I have said before that the audience's aesthetic taste needs to be guided, and my movies have always been liked by everyone over the years. Many people who don't like my movies simply don't have good taste."

"I still hope that everyone can have their own independent judgment and not always listen to others."

……

Ouyang Qing said before that the audience's appreciation level was not enough, but he could afford it. When the audience grows up, they will naturally know whose film is good.

And this time, Ouyang Qing actually still meant the same thing. He believed that no matter what, he was not wrong, it was the audience's appreciation level that was not enough.

Under such circumstances, the reputation and box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" naturally became worse and worse.

On October 10, the box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" was overtaken by "A Good Man".

On October 10, the box office of "Anti-Japanese War" was overtaken by "Customized Couples".

On October 10, the box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" was overtaken by "Dangerous Liaisons".

On October 10, the box office of "Anti-Japanese War" was overtaken by "Wrong Love".

That is to say, on October 10, the box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" was already ranked fifth.

This is not to say that the box office of other movies is so good, on the contrary, it is simply because the box office of "Resist the Japanese Aggression" has shrunk seriously.

You should know that the single-day box office of "Wrong Love" has always fluctuated around 2500 million.

As for "Resist the Japanese Aggression", its single-day box office on October 10 had already dropped by 5 million.

This made Ouyang Qing so angry that he stopped the roadshow.

He believes that the situation was caused by a large amount of smear campaign against the film and the naked competition among its peers.

Even though Ouyang Qing didn't mention any names, there were only a few movies in this National Day period, so it was clear who he was talking about.

Master Guo.

Ouyang Qing believes that everything is Master Guo's fault, and the audience are idiots who only follow the crowd.
