Chapter 626: Controversy and box office, of course the latter

However, Lu Yanhe, who is closely related to the disputes behind the Golden Tripod Awards, is not actually the producer of "Friends" and is not very clear about these twists and turns.

Yuehutai is the producer of "Friends".

It is also most concerned about whether "Friends" can win mainstream awards.

This is not only an honor, but also the director’s political achievement.

Therefore, the person who really cares about this matter and has been active in the industry is Xu Senjin.

In order to build momentum for "Friends", he not only arranged for the rebroadcast of "Friends" on Yuehu TV, but also asked major media outlets that were friendly with Yuehu TV to respond to the articles by Chen Miao, Guan Suchen and others, calling for breaking down discrimination and prejudice against sitcoms.

There was a lot of noise and bustle.

Basically, whenever Lu Yanhe has a public event, he will be asked related questions.

Longyan Film Industry will also take advantage of the situation.

When promoting "Can't Fake My Death", Mrs. Huang said: "In fact, it's not just sitcoms like "Friends". Comedy movies like "Can't Fake My Death" are also not favored by mainstream awards. Even a talented director like Liu Bige can't avoid such prejudice. Fortunately, even if those professionals don't like it, the market and the audience have a sharp eye."

"..." Lu Yanhe had nothing to say about this.

Of course, he won't take the initiative to sabotage.

You know, although there is a certain degree of bias against comedy themes when it comes to film awards, and the winning rate of comedy themes is not as high as that of serious themes, they have never been absent.

However, sitcoms have always been the "lost gem" of mainstream TV awards and have almost never been nominated.

Even though Liu Zi's performance in "Wulin Waijia" last year was highly recognized by the industry, in the end she did not receive any significant nominations.

Lu Yanhe didn't want to be dragged into this kind of discussion, so he reduced the frequency of going out and basically postponed public activities whenever possible. It was the summer vacation when movies were released one after another, and various movie studios were organizing screenings and invitations were pouring in like snowflakes, but Lu Yanhe turned down almost all of them and only attended two screenings of low-budget art films to support them.

During this period, Lu Yanhe basically stayed at the "Jump Up" headquarters in Lingyang District every day, accompanying Chen Siqi and writing scripts.

It wasn't until July 7 that "Even Faking Death" finally premiered.

Lu Yanhe booked a theater and invited his fans to watch this movie.

As a key film strongly promoted by Longyan Pictures, with the added publicity from all sides, the first-day box office of "Can't Even Fake My Death" exceeded 8200 million, which was a good start.

The box office dropped slightly the next day, to only 6800 million, but by the third day, the daily box office exceeded the 7500 million mark.

Three days after its release, the movie box office exceeded 2 million, which was in line with Longyan Film's expectations for the movie and also in line with the trend of romantic comedy movies.

Generally speaking, for this type of movie, unless word of mouth explodes, the first week box office can basically account for about 70% of the entire film's box office.

Sure enough, by the fourth day, Monday, although the overall market of the summer season did not decline too much, the daily box office of "Fake Your Death", a romantic comedy that relies heavily on the holiday, dropped to 5500 million, which is still a very good decline.

But according to the current box office trends, the total box office of "Can't Even Fake My Death" should be able to surpass their goal of 5 million without any surprise.

This was the first movie starring Li Zhibai. The box office performance was so good that he became a hot movie star.

"We are considering the possibility of a sequel," Mrs Huang said with a beaming face during a road show.

This is a promotional plan that has been planned long ago.

As long as the box office is good, the idea of ​​filming a sequel will definitely stir up some discussion.

At the same time, this is also a signal to those viewers who have not watched the movie yet.

This movie is great and has done very well. It’s still in theaters, and we’re planning on making a sequel.

It's all routines.

However, as the box office of "Can't Even Fake My Death" increased, the film's reputation received some negative criticism, especially against the director Liu Bige.

Led by Chen Miao, she pointed out very seriously that although it can be clearly seen from the film itself that Liu Bige did not make the film perfunctorily, such a film is not worth Liu Bige's great effort to make it into an artistic product - the essence of "Can't Even Fake Death" is still a ridiculous commercial love comedy, the appearance of each character and the advancement of the plot are full of "deliberateness" and "routines", but Liu Bige concealed it in a seemingly "innovative" way.

Finally, Chen Miao used one sentence to describe her impression of the movie - when Liu Bige was filming "Hoaxed Death", the butcher who could butcher an ox was arranged to kill a chicken.

When Lu Yanhe read the last sentence, he almost spit out the water in his mouth.

To be honest, when these media people write seriously, you can see the sarcasm in their words as they type.

However, although their criticisms seem to be directed at Liu Bige, in fact, they mainly express positive views towards Liu Bige.

What they are really targeting is the overly commercial and clichéd script of "Even Faking Death Is Not Ok".

Liu Bige did not respond to these accusations.

Neither did Mrs. Huang.

The box office situation is very good now, and Longyan certainly does not want to respond to these things, causing more public opinion and topics, and affecting the box office.

Which movie won’t have some negative news when it is released?
-
In the days after the movie was released, Liu Bige and Li Zhibai have basically been on the roadshow.

This means they have to face some unknown questions every day.

None of them knew what questions the audience would ask that day.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After these controversies about Liu Bige emerged, the entire publicity and promotion team was particularly afraid that some audience members would directly ask Liu Bige these questions. For this reason, they also made many sets of answer templates and provided them to Liu Bige.

Liu Bige looked at it and said nothing.

Mrs. Huang accompanied them throughout the roadshow.

The purpose of roadshows is, firstly, to fulfill the promise made by the distributor when negotiating with the theaters, and secondly, to continuously provide new materials for film promotion.

Nowadays, many movie promotional materials come from the Q&A sessions at roadshows.

Some of these questions were designed in advance, while others were real jokes that happened on the spot.

At the roadshow, Liu Bige didn't seem to be affected by the controversy surrounding him. He answered questions with great enthusiasm. When an audience member asked him how he viewed the doubts about him, he said calmly, "My mind is full of roadshow matters right now. I haven't had time to think about those questions. After the promotion period of "Even Faking Death" is over, I will find a quiet place to think about it."

That's a very sincere answer.

However, there have also been audiences who kept asking questions, and seemed to be particularly disappointed with Liu Bigo for making such a movie.

Liu Bige was very embarrassed at the time. Li Zhibai picked up the microphone and said, "I have to take some responsibility for this. It's mainly because of my acting skills. Playing this style and role is my comfort zone, so the director also made a lot of adjustments based on my performance style. If you feel that you can't find the feeling of "Late Spring" because of the style of this movie, I apologize to you."

Li Zhibai used this attitude to forcibly interrupt the audience's questioning and ease Liu Bigo's embarrassment.

But the consequence was that someone made up a topic about him——

Li Zhibai admitted that the reason why "I Can't Even Fake My Death" was not recognized was because of him.

"..."

Lin Suyang was so angry.

However, regardless of the controversy, "Fake Your Death" has impressed the sinking market. According to a survey, audiences between the ages of 15 and 30 account for 75% of the movie-watching group, which is an exaggerated proportion.

Among them, Li Zhibai's fans were very supportive. Probably because this was Li Zhibai's first starring movie, they all put in a lot of effort, firstly watching the movie themselves, and secondly encouraging people around them to watch it.

When the box office of "Even Fake Death" exceeded 6 million in ten days, no amount of doubts could reach Long Yan's ears.

Box office success is what they want.

At this time, Lu Yanhe's "Love Letter" is finally going to hold a special screening in China.

This time, Lu Yanhe still chose to hold the special screening of "Love Letter" at Zhenhua University.
