Chapter 425 brings back memories

"Haha, what about movies by great directors?"

Guo Jingming's Coke went bad this time, and he was scolded all summer long. Finally, someone took over the anti-mine projectile.

And I have to say that the media's discussion of his "Tiny Times" and Feng Xiaogang's "Private Customization" still satisfied his vanity.

However, not only did the media compare Feng Xiaogang's "Private Customization" to Guo Jingming's "Little Times", but more importantly, film critics continued to complain about "Private Customization" after its premiere.

Many film critics were so excited that they posted numerous Weibo posts criticizing "Private Customization".

There are a lot of negative comments about "accomplishing oneself and fooling the audience".

"There is a kind of movie that is not afraid of spoilers, and this is what I am talking about. It is said that Wang Shuo's fans are more loyal, but I also have to say that he also worked together to cheat money, and he was able to hand in three unrelated sketches to make a movie."

"'Private Custom' does not respect movies, looks down on the audience, has no characters and structure, only advertising."

""Private Custom" can really make people full of anger when watching it. There is such a shameless movie in the world! If Guo Jingming and "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" are not good, the director's level is indeed limited. Feng Xiaogang is determined to fool him. you"

The media is adding fuel to the flames, and a large number of reports are promoting the fermentation of the matter. Typical people who watch the excitement do not despise the big event.

I have to say that Feng Xiaogang did dare to say it, but he accidentally poked netizens' memories.

"During the Lunar New Year, film critics are most dissatisfied with "Private Customization". They believe that Feng Xiaogang's plot "gnawing at the old" and "Party A and Party B" have no new ideas, and the supposed jokes have become copied from old jokes and Internet slang, and the whole story is advertising. Implantation"

Obviously, everyone's memories of ten years ago have not faded. It seems that the montage made a lot of achievements in the fierce competition between "Manslaughter" and "Cell Phone".

"."

"Mom, you're so stupid. After receiving the money, you still do things like this?"

A large number of negative reviews pushed the film to the forefront.

On the other side, Feng Xiaogang covered his forehead and said, "Nima, why is this such nonsense?"

"Director Li, it's time to explain what montage is."

Little Chengzi looked at her feeding officer in confusion. Perhaps in her eyes, this person was too strange.

"Amu, do you want to come and take a look? Netizens are calling you. The grievances between you and Director Feng were exposed."

"It's okay for the audience to scold me. They bought tickets to go in. These film critics don't pay for anything, and some of them even charge for it! Even if they scold me, I can't explain why..."

Li Mu took Liu Yifei's phone and scrolled through it. It had to be said that netizens would stir up trouble, and people who watched the fun never thought it was a big deal.

"You broke your defense again, are you so angry?"

"The quality of "Private Customization" was not as good as expected, and Chinese Brothers' stock price fell at the opening and eventually fell to the limit. There are rumors on the Internet that some media and institutional investors had watched "Private Customization" in advance because the film's effect was lower than expected, which led to some The agency decided to ‘escape’ early.”

Feng Xiaogang, who never stopped doing anything, directly posted 6 Weibo posts in a row to bombard the film critics.

"There are a bunch of people, especially those on Douban, who are all big-tailed wolves who pretend to understand movies. That's bullshit! They are still talking about montage of his shots. Do you know what montage is?"

Netizens who were good at it all started tagging Li Mu one after another, and as a result, Li Mu became the top trending search topic.

Feng Xiaogang really wanted to scold her at this moment. Film critics like these, who didn't pay them to say good things, ended up complaining about the movie instead.

"Everyone selling pancakes on the street has a certificate, but they don't have one, so what right do they have to scold them? They just deserve to be scolded!"

Liu Yifei was holding her mobile phone at the moment, laughing so hard that she was so happy.

"Why does this sentence look familiar? Montage? My sleeping memory is beginning to awaken."

He really didn't expect that this complaint could lead back to what happened ten years ago.

After finally resolving the grudge with Li Mu, he became a little normal these years, but in the end, there were always people causing trouble for him.

"Director Li, you are so worried about this."

Feng Xiaogang called and said helplessly.

"Haha, it's okay, I understand."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh on the phone.

The release of "Private Customization" has definitely compressed the film schedule and attendance rate of "The Tuner". This is for sure, after all, "The Tuner" is not at its peak.

The major theater chains have allocated about 42% of the film schedule, which is considered to be sufficient for the number of screenings.

However, people in the industry are waiting for the box office results of "Private Customization".

After all, the box office on the first day can tell a lot.

You must know that "Private Customization" is different from "Lost in Thailand", "The Tuner" and other ticket sales models that have strong stamina and rely on word-of-mouth to slowly add to the box office.

Both it and "Tiny Times" are topical movies. The buzz, momentum and reputation that burst out in the early stage will help a lot at the box office. However, the quality of the film determines the final result. The bad reviews in the early stage may prevent the film from going very far.

""Private Customization" collected 7200 million on the first day."

This achievement gave Feng Xiaogang a little peace of mind, but this time he shouted the slogan of 10 billion first, and even wanted to become the fourth domestic director with a box office of 10 billion, but it obviously seems impossible.

Topic movies like "Personalized" generally account for 8%-10% of the film's total box office on the first day due to lack of stamina.

That is to say, the total box office is between 7.2 million and 9 million. This number will fluctuate, but it will not be too large.

Moreover, Li Mu knew that the movie had signed exclusive screening contracts with many corporate units as a benefit for their employees.

These private screenings also boosted the film's first-day schedule and box office.

The next day, "Private Customization" continued its efforts and scored 7170 million. With the help of zero-point box office, it easily broke the 1.5 million mark in just two days after its release. But it is clear that the box office has declined, which is not the same as the trend of hit movies with increasingly good reputations.

But at this time, Xu Zheng came to him.

Xu Zheng, who has always wanted to make a sequel to "囧囧", collaborated with Shu Huan again this time and finally came up with a script for "囧囧".

"This story comes from a simple idea I had before. A man wanted to go to Xiangjiang to find his first love. But he was harassed and blocked by a fool along the way, and he always failed to make an appointment. At that time, I thought this story was very interesting. I hired Shu Huan and others to write this version, Director Li, what do you think?"

Xu Zheng looked at Li Mu expectantly. This story took a lot of time. It can be said that he has been thinking about this new story since "Thailand".

"Your story is a bit like "Blissful Heart"."

Li Mu smiled after hearing this. One is a beauty hunter, and the other is actually a beauty hunter. Is going to Xiangjiang to find his first love just to talk about life?

We are all adults.

"Hey, Sister Na is also a screenwriter."

Xu Zheng smiled and said that the script of "囧 in Hong Kong" was written by several famous screenwriters.

Li Mu carefully finished scanning the script:

"This time I sacrificed a lot of comedy, but I played the emotional card."

Because in the script, Li Mu saw that "囧 in Hong Kong" was not only shot in Hong Kong, but also incorporated many Hong Kong elements, such as classic scenes from Hong Kong films, classic Cantonese old songs, etc.

"This part may be too rigid. I suggest you adjust it."

Li Mu painted some places that are obviously easy for the audience to complain about, and the elements were inserted too harshly.

"The core of the "囧" series of movies is to give the audience real joy. It is a comedy in the true sense. Of course, I know that you want to shape your own personal style and think more deeply about the theme in the movie. This is also a director's necessity. However, not all movie scripts must forget the essence of creation, we are here to serve the audience."

Li Mu pointed at Xu Zheng intentionally, "There is still this place."

Li Mu turned over the script, pointed and said: "Mid-life crisis is a double-edged sword. If used well, it is a sharp weapon. If used incorrectly, it will destroy the movie."

There are many commercial elements in the script, such as the currently popular "mid-life crisis".

Looking back at the Chinese film market in the past two or three years, there are not many films that mention the phenomenon of "mid-life crisis", let alone films that specifically use mid-life crisis as the main conflict.

Dating back to the years when Feng Xiaogang was the New Year King, Director Feng suddenly made "A Sigh".

Not only did it cause quite a bit of controversy, it also lost the box office.

"clear."

Xu Zheng nodded cautiously. He might have scoffed at it if others said it, but this person in front of him was a real industry leader, so he still had to listen to what he said.

After all, the top films on the box office charts and the top ones speak for themselves.

"Overall, there isn't much of a problem. You can go to the General Administration for filing."

Li Mu finally nodded to the script, which was the most exciting thing Xu Zheng heard here.

"Director Li, I'll go first."

Xu Zheng was extremely happy and couldn't wait to register it first.

"Where are you going? Didn't you see that no one is working today?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Or do you want the General Administration to make a special case for you?"

"Forehead"

Only then did Xu Zheng, who was extremely excited, react and looked at the staff office area outside the office. There were only a few people there. It was obvious that today was a day off.

"I suddenly forgot the date."

Xu Zheng scratched his smooth forehead and said coquettishly.

"Speaking of which, I also disturbed Director Li from your rest."

Xu Zheng was quite embarrassed. As soon as the script was written, he was in a hurry to communicate with Li Mu and didn't even remember that today was Saturday.

"It's okay. As directors, do we still have weekends?"

Li Mu said indifferently.

At this time, Liu Yifei's voice sounded at the door, and the door slowly opened.

"Amu, it's time to eat, have you finished your work?"

"Director Xu, haven't we finished talking yet?"

After Liu Yifei came in and saw that Xu Zheng was still there, she subconsciously asked.

"Just finished talking, get ready."

Before Xu Zheng finished speaking, Li Mu said first, "Just in time, do you want to go to dinner together?"

"No, if I go there, isn't that a light bulb? Besides, my bald head is so bright, the wattage must have exploded."

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he touched his shiny bald head.
