This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

It’s a bit too funny to say that “Parallel Cohabitation” has flopped at the moment. Even some people in the industry who don’t like Lin Xing think that it can’t be called a flop anyway.

Funny?
It’s Double Eleven, and it’s a non-working day, so I think such a first-day box office is quite good.

Don’t forget that the box office of "Killing Ading" on the first day did not even reach 500 million, but in the end it exceeded million.

The box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" reached 2100 million on the first day, and the current box office forecast is 2 million. How can it fail? ?
Obviously, some people are just brainless haters.

Of course, some people make comparisons with "Sunspots" and "Ascent to Heaven".

You should know that the box office of "Going to Heaven" is over 20 billion, and the box office of "Going to Heaven" is over 30 billion. By comparing them now, isn't "Parallel Cohabitation" a flop? ?

But, a lot of times you have to see how it is said?

From the very beginning when Lin Xing was interviewed, he made it clear that this movie was just made for fun.

There are quite a lot of opinions here.

What does it mean to shoot for fun?

Some artists and celebrities really do this for fun, taking high pay and then acting like crazy, in short, they do it for fun.

But some artists say they are just filming for fun. It doesn’t mean they don’t respect filming. They are filming seriously. When they say they are having fun, they just mean it’s just a job for fun.

It's still different.

Before the filming of "Parallel Cohabitation" started, no one was actually optimistic about this movie, because countless movies have proved that traffic cannot drive box office revenue.

It’s useless even if Yang Tian has huge traffic.

As for Lin Xing, he is still somewhat useful. After all, he has a huge good reputation. You know, word of mouth can often bring good box office.

Because of this, many people actually speculate that "Parallel Cohabitation", as a low-budget comedy film, may be able to make around 80 million.

Again, as Meng Yan said before, if a movie wants to make over 100 million yuan, it is almost impossible.

For this reason, everyone thinks that if the movie "Parallel Cohabitation" can really break 100 million, then it will be considered a success.

But at present, "Parallel Cohabitation" still won 2100 million box office on the first day despite the unsatisfactory pre-sale. What else can we say? ?

The current box office forecasts are all above 2 million, so how can this be considered a flop? ?
Of course, this does not prevent many people from thinking that Lin Xing is corrupt.

In this regard, during today's roadshow, an audience member also asked this question: "Are you satisfied with the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation"? "

"satisfy."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "To be honest, although I have always said that I don't care about the box office, as an actor, how can I really not care?"

At this point, Lin Xing paused and said, "For this reason, I hope that the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" can get better and better, and I think the first-day box office of 2100 million is pretty good. Although it is far inferior to "Sunspots" and "Going to Heaven", it is much better than "Killing Ading". And at present, if we work hard, we may be able to break 2 million..."

Someone else stood up and asked, "But Brother Xing, don't you feel there is a gap?"

Good guy.

Many fans and audiences now pay more attention to the box office than the creators.

Of course, this is a good thing.

After all, if a movie has more views, it often means that more and more people are willing to watch it.

As a movie, what I like most is the presence of online fans.

However, Lin Xing still said: "How could I be disappointed? In fact, "Parallel Cohabitation" has already paid for itself from the beginning. The film has completely paid for itself through advertising placement. For this reason, I said at the beginning of the interview that I don't have any box office pressure. Not only do I not have any pressure, I told Yang Tian, ​​Wu Qifeng, and even Director Zu not to have any pressure..."

Often times, product placement is the most profitable, and many famous directors love product placement the most. Some big directors even used the money earned from product placement to make movies.

Some people even package the advertising space directly and make a movie just for advertising.

Advertising placement is actually a technology.

Unless the director is shameless enough to make all the content advertisements, otherwise the product placement must be subtle and unobtrusive.

Just like this time's "Parallel Cohabitation", whether it is Diying watches or Dima trams, these two advertisements are just perfect.

Good advertising can also bring huge sales.

Especially the movie "Parallel Cohabitation" has elevated the level of Emperor Films watches.

Whether it is a domineering president or a person with high class, everyone likes to wear Diying watches.

In recent years, Diying Watches has actually been thinking about moving up, or going high-end, but the high-end is not easy to do.

It is difficult to move from the upper-middle end to the high end, but it is quite easy to fall from the high end.

There have even been movies that mocked cars and caused the sales of a certain brand of car to drop sharply instantly.

This is a disadvantage, but this time when Lin Xing wore the [Diying Watch] and it was raised in the plot, it has to be said that it was raised all of a sudden.

When "Parallel Cohabitation" was first being filmed, many companies actually did not take it seriously.

You have to know that Ding Chunling was actually looking for other advertising sponsorships at that time, but no one thought that "Parallel Cohabitation" was suitable for investment.

There are only two companies [Diying Watches] and [Dima Electric Vehicles] that have cooperated with Lin Xing at the beginning, and some companies that Lin Xing endorses.

Let me put it this way, all the sponsors in "Parallel Cohabitation" are endorsed by Lin Xing.

What a coincidence.

Or rather, it is not a coincidence, it is more accurate to say that it is within reason.

No matter from which aspect, Lin Xing has always been very cautious in his endorsements, as he needs to be responsible to the audience who trusts him.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing has not endorsed many products in recent years, and every endorsement has great trust in Lin Xing.

When Lin Xing was about to shoot "Parallel Cohabitation", everyone was scrambling to give money.

This is a two-way rush.

For this reason, from the very beginning, after "Parallel Cohabitation" had so many advertising sponsors, it was actually enough.

In other words, the investment has been recovered.

Only then did Lin Xing no longer have any pressure on the box office.

He doesn't care what others say.

This circle is actually like this. When you succeed, they will praise you to the sky. When you fail, they will trample you under their feet.

That's it, no surprises.

For this reason, Lin Xing really doesn’t care what the outside world says.

The only thing he really cares about is the audience.

That's exactly why when Lin Xing saw the audience's concern at the roadshow, he was actually a little moved.

What a great audience.

After explaining to the audience one by one, he said, "You really don't have to care too much about the box office. In my opinion, the box office is not important. Yes, even though I really hope the box office is high, the most important thing to me is you, the audience. When I was filming "Parallel Cohabitation", I told everyone that the most important thing for us to make a movie is to live up to the audience..."

At the same time, Lin Xing also told everyone that they really don’t need to worry too much about themselves. “This is a small schedule, and with the overall market so quiet, the box office forecast for Parallel Cohabitation is expected to exceed 2 million, so what do you think I have to worry about?”

"I am really satisfied, and the cost of "Parallel Cohabitation" has already been recovered before it was released, so everyone really doesn't need to worry too much about whether I am disappointed or not. What should I be disappointed about?"

"I made a movie. Although it didn't have the box office success of films like Going to Heaven and Sunspots, it was still well received by the public. I feel really satisfied."

……

The people of this country can tolerate me and not make money by committing sins.

Here, Lin Xing expressed his gratitude to all the audience on behalf of the entire crew of "Parallel Cohabitation".

Thank you everyone.

……

"Oh my god, this Lin Xing is really a Buddhist."

"Wow, Lin Xing said that very well. I really thought Lin Xing would be disappointed?"

"To be honest, I think what Lin Xing said was quite sincere and good."

"No matter what, an actor really needs to rely on his works to speak for himself. Why do people like Lin Xing so much? Isn't it because of his works?"

……

"I am dying of laughter. Lin Xing is really good at pretending. If he didn't care about the box office, would he have invited Yang Tian?"

"Le, now that Parallel Cohabitation has flopped, you, Lin Xing, said you don't care about the box office? In my opinion, Lin Xing is just being stubborn."

"Let's be honest. Two people are indeed a lot for Parallel Cohabitation, but are you, Lin Xing, really satisfied? Stop talking nonsense."

……

During the roadshow, Lin Xing's heartfelt words actually won the support of many people on the one hand, but on the other hand, some people thought that Lin Xing was pretending.

This controversy is even more serious than Yang Tian's.

"Axing, thank you."

After finishing today's road show, Yang Tian said to Lin Xing: "I know you are trying to attract the artillery fire, otherwise the artillery fire would be directed at me."

"We are a team, so we are inseparable."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "And I'm really serious. I really think our movie is not bad."

Are you kidding me?

How can a box office of 2 million be considered bad? ?
Especially for Yang Tian, ​​she can completely regard "Parallel Cohabitation" as her masterpiece and does not need to worry about taking the blame.

What are you taking the blame for?

We all worked together to make a movie, and not only did the movie make back its investment, it even grossed over 2 million yuan.

Lin Xing couldn't understand what was so funny about this???

"Yeah, what's there to laugh at?"

Lao Zhong even said on his Weibo: "Do you want to see how bleak the box office is this year? How many blockbusters have spent so much money but the box office has not even exceeded 100 million, and you actually said that "Parallel Cohabitation" flopped? Are you crazy???"

Today is November 11th, and the Double Eleven festival has not ended yet. Because major platforms want to attract more people to consume, they simply organized a return event.

Of course, consumption is limited and everything that needs to be bought has been bought. And because of this, most platforms are just there to promote products.

As for the crew of "Parallel Cohabitation", they started the roadshow non-stop.

When doing roadshows, Lin Xing is still that hard-working guy.

Today is Friday, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are rest days. It can be said that only these two or three days will determine the box office growth of "Parallel Cohabitation".

“Why do you work so hard when you say you don’t care about the box office?”

Some reporters also asked Lin Xing sharp questions.

Lin Xing, who had just finished a roadshow, had a hoarse voice. He found the reporter's question a little funny: "I said I don't care about the box office, but this roadshow is my job. It's my job. I have to be dedicated to my job. Besides, if the box office of Parallel Cohabitation can go further, then of course I will be happy."

Just when Lin Xing was being interviewed, the box office figures of "Parallel Cohabitation" were also updated.

2200 million.

On Friday, "Parallel Cohabitation" achieved a slight increase in box office revenue.

Immediately on the following Saturday, the single-day box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" rose slightly again, reaching 2500 million.

Then on Sunday, the single-day box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" doubled to 5000 million.

As a result, the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" in the first four days of its official release plus the box office of the preview just exceeded 4 million.

Over 100 million.

"Parallel Cohabitation" easily broke the 4 million yuan mark in just days after its official release, especially on Sunday when the market directly doubled.

This surprised many people.

No, it was just an accident. I was really a little shocked.

"Oh my god, Lin Xing has done it again."

"Damn it, the box office forecast for Parallel Cohabitation has gone from 2 million to 5 million. Damn it."

"No, why? Why did the box office of Parallel Cohabitation rise so much?"

"I just don't understand, how come Lin Xing can be so smooth every time?"

"I'm so angry. Why is it so difficult to see Lin Xing fall to the ground once?"

……

Many people who were watching Lin Xing having fun felt like they had become part of the fun.

You have to know that excluding the few days of preview, "Parallel Cohabitation" has only been officially released for 4 days.

In fact, everyone is not stupid. When the box office forecast of "Parallel Cohabitation" exceeded 2 million, many people were already envious and jealous.

Because insiders can see that there are only a few real special effects in "Parallel Cohabitation". Apart from that, the cost is actually not high. After all, Yang Tian did not ask for any remuneration.

But now the box office forecast of "Parallel Cohabitation" has exceeded 5 million.

There is a world of difference between 8000 million and 1 million, and there is an equal difference between 2 million and 5 million.

If "Parallel Cohabitation" can really reach 5 million, then this movie will not be a flop.

This is gonna fucking explode.

How come this is going to explode all of a sudden???
