This director needs to apologize

Chapter 373 Why is it?
The final scene of the road show that day was a bit ugly.

After entering the second week of the release, the roadshow schedule suddenly became tense. The leisurely scene of watching the movie with the audience like the zero-hour show was gone forever. Every day, it could only be mainly visited by the media field, and there could be no more than one meeting with the audience.

If there are reporters present, the intensity of the questions will naturally escalate. If a reporter with a special mission sneaks in, it is not uncommon to be asked whether he will come to the stage.

At this time, the public relations plan in advance can only play a small role, and the main thing is to rely on adaptability.

Although Pan Yueming expected that his matter might be in trouble, he still overestimated the influence of certain media outlets. The questions he did not refute were also of a catchy nature, perhaps because he failed to achieve his goal. The questioner Next, it gets even worse.

"Teacher Pan, you went into seclusion when you were accused by a certain lady, and immediately came back to life after winning the first-instance lawsuit. Isn't this too tightly arranged?

You had been living in the Imperial City before, and after moving to the Magic City, you happened to live in the same community as Director Chen, which gave you an excellent opportunity to make a comeback. Such a coincidence makes it hard for people to believe that you went to the Magic City to heal your wounds. .

Yes, silence does not mean admission, but do you really not intend to respond positively to these reasonable speculations from netizens? "

Chen Yiming was made to laugh, and he was the one to blame for sowing discord. He raised the microphone and was about to say a few words to dismiss this difficult reporter, when Lao Pan beside him spoke first.

"Journalist friend, if the speculation you mentioned is only about me, I feel there is really no need to respond. Have there been less speculations about me in the past two years? Which one is not more powerful than what you just said? I responded again Which one?
However, this time it involves Director Chen and "The Thirteenth Floor". It would be irresponsible for me to lie down and let him get hammered, so I will say a few more words.

Director Chen is a director who focuses on depicting growth. Thanks to his gift, I also gained an unforgettable spiritual growth during the filming of "The Thirteenth Floor". This encounter will definitely be unforgettable for me. If I have to To say that this was a deliberate operation, I would like to call it an arrangement of fate. "

The coincidences and arrangements you mentioned do exist, but it is not a comeback, but a continued rest. According to my original plan, I would stay idle until the second trial was concluded and wait for the matter to be completely settled.

Here I would also like to express my gratitude to my agent Liao Shan. It is precisely because of her encouragement and supervision that I had the courage to poke my head out of the turtle shell in advance.

Chen Yiming himself also secretly gave a big thumbs up. Lao Pan's words were so sincere and moving. What's even better is that after quietly turning a few corners, he successfully brought the topic back to the movie, dealing with reporters and clarifying things. The negativity coupled with the movie promotion killed three birds with one stone without any delay.

Pan Yueming's speech received a burst of warm applause. Chen Yiming noticed that the expressions on the faces of the media reporters who were watching had changed from happy to full of appreciation. This answer directly reversed the awkward atmosphere at the scene.

Nowadays, good things never go out and bad things go a long way. I know that even if the second trial is over and my reputation is stamped by the court, some people will still turn a blind eye and continue to put some bad labels on me.

It stands to reason that the questioner should have stopped at this point. The wind has changed and it is useless to entangle. However, this person did not give up. He thought he had grasped Pan Yueming's leaked words and took advantage of the situation to turn his finger on Chen Yiming.

Chen Yiming was speechless. He thought to himself, "How many benefits have you received? You have worked so hard that you don't care about yourself. You can ask such a nonsensical question. Are you really an entertainment reporter?"

However, Lao Pan set a hook and actually caught the fish. He really just fished with a straight hook.

As for how I met Director Chen, it was indeed an accident. Before I attended the audition, we met by chance in the community and had a chat.

"Director Chen, what Teacher Pan said just now, is it true that you had contact before the audition? Will this be unfair to the other actors who participated in the audition?"

I don't care about those people's voices, and I have no interest in changing their minds. This result is for my friends and fans who are still willing to continue to believe in me, and it is also for myself.

I'm grateful for this collaboration, which not only gave me the opportunity to star in a good story, but also allowed me to move on from that incident faster. The protagonist in the play finally found what he really wanted, and I, who played him, also experienced the same mental journey outside the play. This was a mutual achievement.

He directly opened his mouth and blocked all the other party's next words, "Teacher Pan's statement is not only true, but let me say it is a bit too modest. In fact, I was the one who benefited more from that chance encounter and exchange.

If you pay close attention to the end credits of the movie, you will find that in the column of special acknowledgments, Pan Yueming's name is listed first. He has made special contributions to the entire project, and the root cause is that chat.

That communication was a God-given inspiration for me, and the concept and rhythm of the entire story were significantly optimized. Although Teacher Pan himself did not feel that he helped me, I remembered this sentiment. It would certainly not be objective to say that this change had no impact on subsequent auditions, but from the perspective of a professional director, I fully recognize Teacher Pan’s audition performance.

As for what you said is unfair to other auditionees, I think auditions are not exams. The examiners and candidates did not avoid this. If you really want to say it is unfair, it is the two teachers Chen Kun and Liu Yijun who have the stand. In fact, they I had no objections to this and readily accepted the other two role arrangements.

I would like to say one more thing here. Teacher Pan definitely did not move to Shanghai because he wanted to borrow my movie to make a comeback, because he came earlier than me whether it was buying a house or moving in. "

This wave of direct ball offensive against Pan Yueming has been dealt with, and the results are not bad.

Of course, it was limited to that one media meeting. The rhythm of the Internet will still come. The power mobilized by opponents is huge. Not only the investment in black manuscripts and hot searches is considerable, but also old friends of Lao Pan are moved. out.

Maybe it was to build momentum for the second-instance lawsuit, maybe it was for her subsequent acting career, anyway, a certain woman was interviewed publicly and her speech was carefully designed by a professional public relations dog. Male accusation.

This is called a toad crawling on the feet, not biting people, and responding to others. If Lao Pan is to blame, he can only blame why he didn't install surveillance cameras at home before. This lawsuit is going to be fought.

As for the impact on the box office of "The Thirteenth Floor", I can't say it has no impact, I can only say it is minimal.

Because the box office curve in the second week is there, the decline curve of "The Thirteenth Floor" is the smoothest. The sequel to Journey to the West has fallen behind and given up the second place on the list. Although An Yue's magical blockbuster continues to occupy the top spot at the box office, it is The box office curve is about to intersect with that of "The Thirteenth Floor", and the gap between them will quickly narrow. It's hard to say who will be ahead of whom when it is released.

This wave of strength is no longer due to unknown assists. The second round of theater surveys arranged by the Lao Niu team showed that the second and third brushes of the audience are the main force of the single-day market.

For senior movie fans who really take the movie into consideration, among the five movies during the Spring Festival, only "The Thirteenth Floor" is worthy of repeated viewing and consideration.

The three movies in Hong Kong are all popcorn movies. If you watch them once and feel good, you can only watch them in the cinema. Many people will slap themselves in the face as soon as their minds reoccupy their brains after they come out, and do it again?
It stands to reason that the co-production of Emperor Film should be favored by the literary and youth groups. After all, there are a lot of fans of the original novel, and the Gaul director responsible for the production also has a high reputation in Broad Bean.

It's a pity that the bad thing is the co-production. If it were directly adapted into "Chinese actors in Gaul", then the film would have the right flavor. Unfortunately, this time it is "Gaulic director in China", which is somewhat acclimatized.

As amazing as the first half of the movie is, the second half is so different. It feels like the Great Rift Valley, as if everyone from the director to the actors is suffering from schizophrenia.

As a result, Chen Yiming's imaginative soft science fiction film turned out to be the most reliable among the films of its time.

These days, there are voices on the Internet that are far-fetched and mystifying about "The Thirteenth Floor". With the help of all parties, the voice is not small, but it is too weak to stand up to friends and producers.

One netizen's words were widely forwarded because of this. Chen Yiming was just doing chores and not cooking properly, while the others were simply dishing out shit.
To be honest, this statement is a bit harsh. At least Chen Yiming couldn't find many faults with An Yue's 3D magical blockbuster. The special effects were done with sincerity and the plot was novel and interesting. It was not like other Hong Kong directors. The big blockbusters are Journey to the West, Liaozhai and Fengshen.

It's a pity that the current Internet environment is so easy to talk big. An Yue was actually hurt by his colleagues in Hong Kong. In addition, the actors selected are not well-known. New IPs and new actors inevitably lose part of the basic base when they quarrel. .

Anyway, as the Spring Festival season enters its second week, "The Thirteenth Floor" has shown the momentum of diaosi's counterattack, from being at the bottom of the film schedule before its release, to starting at fourth place on the first day of filming, and now After sitting back and watching, this change not only shocked the industry, but also shocked the media and audiences outside the industry.

Could it be that Chen Yiming is really lucky and can lock the box office champion as long as he takes action? This is too metaphysical.

Looking at "The Thirteenth Floor" from left to right, you can't see the qualifications of No. 1. Investment, cast, special effects, and theme. Counting them one by one, none of them can be said to be advantages. It can even be said that they are all disadvantages.

Why should it be!
