Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 267: Death is imminent, the dying struggle

Director Sun felt very uncomfortable.

In his expectation, the subsequent performance of "Dwelling in the Fuchuan Mountains" should not be like this.

Although he didn't order his hands as he said two days ago, after all, those words were used to comfort people, and even he himself didn't believe them.

But it should still be possible to maintain a stable box office and steadily improve word of mouth.

How did it become like this?

The reputation improved, but only a little.

The box office dropped, and it fell straight through the center of the earth.

how so!
Director Sun never considered that it was his own problem. It was his script that was too bad, which led to the collapse of the film's reputation and thus affected the film's box office.

At this moment, what he was thinking was that the film model was relatively novel, and the aesthetic taste of domestic entertainment audiences was too low to fully appreciate the beauty of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

In fact, it’s no wonder Director Sun thinks this way.

Because before the movie was released, he had successfully sold the rights to the movie to 66 countries.

66 countries.

This number has exceeded more than 99% of the films.

So many people outside are buying it, but the reviews in China are so low. Doesn't this just prove that the appreciation level of Chinese film audiences is too poor?

Director Sun finally adjusted his mentality.

That's right.

It's not my fault at all.

Despite this, we still have to find a way to increase the movie box office.

This is his first movie. So many investors have invested a total of 200 million yuan in it. If he doesn't make back the money, he will never be able to continue in the film industry.

So, facing the voices of the crew members, Director Sun once again sent out his magic weapon.

"It's not me who's wrong, it's the world."

of course.

That's not what he said exactly, but the general idea is the same.

"Audiences don't really have the ability to appreciate things. They just follow the crowd. If two out of ten people say a movie is good, they will hesitate. If three out of ten people say it is good, they will doubt themselves. If five out of ten people say it is good, the vast majority of people who disagree will shut up.

No matter what, Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains had a box office of 50 million on the first day, which is more than the total box office of many movies. The subsequent decline was only because the rating was too low. As long as we improve the rating, everything will develop in a good direction. "

Director Sun realized that it was a pipe dream to expect to reverse the ratings in a short period of time just by relying on roadshows and interviews.

It is more convenient to just brush the ratings.

It is too difficult to confront the world with hard power.

He’s going to tech.

Of course, we should not relax our publicity efforts in roadshows and interviews.

"Andy, Dawei, your subsequent promotion is also very important. Success or failure depends on this. You must hold on. Success will surely belong to us." Director Sun encouraged the crew members as usual.

But this time, he was so preoccupied that he didn't notice that the faces of several leading actors looked a little strange.

Of course, he never paid much attention to other people's expressions before.

After Director Sun left, everyone started working one after another.

Only Andy Lau and Tong Dark were left in the room.

Tongdark had a very hard time during this period.

He is not Liu Dehua, who has accumulated popularity over decades. Even if he was implicated by "Mountain Dwelling", there are still many people who like him.

He can't.

The collapse of reputation of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" directly affected the foundation he had accumulated through "The Partners".

In just four or five days, he had heard the news that some brands that had previously wanted to cooperate with him, seeing that something was not right, began to contact Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao.

Don’t think that actors and male stars don’t need endorsements.

There is no shortage of competition for resources among male celebrities.

Otherwise, why did the Stab Cult incident become such a big deal?
The feeling of having a blunt knife cut your flesh is too painful. If public opinion continues to ferment like this, Tong Darkwei even suspects that he will fall out of the class of popular young actors.

After much deliberation, he finally found Andy Lau and wanted to discuss with him how to save his reputation, even if it would mean stabbing the crew in the process.

But I didn’t expect that Liu Dehua had already found a way out.

"Brother Hua, are you really going to accept an interview with Lizhan Entertainment and apologize to the audience?" Tong Darkwei confirmed with Liu Dehua again.

Liu Dehua didn't say anything, just nodded.

He spends at least one million yuan on his own publicity every year, but so much money almost ruined a movie. If he doesn't apologize, won't the money be wasted?

Tong Dark thought for a moment and said, "Brother Hua, can I also accept an interview?"

Liu Dehua was stunned.

……

"Tong Darkwei also wants us to help him save his reputation? No problem, let him take some time to come over."

Zhou Mo hung up the phone.

Next to me, Da Tiantian was watching TV.

The finale of "My Love from the Star".

The heroine and the hero confirmed each other's identities, and the hero had already exposed his shortcomings.

In a humorous and affectionate way, the hero and heroine reach a perfect ending together.

Da Tiantian repeatedly watched the scene where the heroine cried and called the hero's name at night.

"Sister Qiaoqiao's acting is really great. Even though she doesn't seem to be suffering any heart-wrenching pain, she can still make people want to cry." Da Tiantian's eyes were red.

Zhou Mo casually picked up an apple and put it between his hands and exerted force.

"Um--"

Not broken apart.

When Da Tiantian heard the noise, she looked at Zhou Mo with a rather unhappy look.

Seeing him trying hard to get the apple with his face flushed, she said angrily, "You're so annoying... I've never seen you so focused when you were touching me before. Give it to me!"

The white and tender little hand stretched forward.

Zhou Mo handed the apple over obediently. Da Tiantian took the apple and also placed it in her palm, staggered her hands, and then twisted them gently.

Click!

The apple that was as solid as a rock in Zhou Mo's hand suddenly cracked. Da Tiantian took half for herself and handed the remaining half to Zhou Mo.

He also made a joke by the way.

"Take it, you useless little thing."

Zhou Mo took the apple in amazement.

He looked at his own hands, then looked at Datiantian's hands.

its not right.

what is the reason?
"Don't look at it. What's so good about it? You touch it all the time..." Da Tiantian munched on an apple and spoke some vicious words.

She paused the TV, and she would continue watching this segment later to repeatedly ponder Fan Qiaoqiao's acting skills.

"Tell me about Lucy."

"What's wrong with your performance? Has it been normal?" Zhou Mo asked.

"Lucy" grossed over 300 million yuan in just seven days after its release.

It has already left the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" which was competing at the same time far behind.

Although Director Sun still hopes to revive the dead chess piece "Mountain Dwelling" through some unconventional means, the result will inevitably be tragic.

This was Director Sun’s first time working in science and technology, and his skills were clearly not sophisticated enough.

Less than a day after he raised his rating, his behavior of hiring internet trolls was exposed. Netizens were furious and retaliated by giving "Mountain Dwelling" a low score.

From then on, "Mountain Dwelling" no longer had any chance of making a comeback.

Next, it depends on when the box office of "Mountain Dwelling" is too low and the theaters give up arranging the film. Director Sun's heart completely collapses, and then the interviews with Andy Lau and Tong Darkwei can be released.

The reason why it was not released in advance was because Zhou Mo took money from Director Sun and said that he would promote "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", so he must promote "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

We must never sacrifice public interests for personal ones.

He is serious about publicity.

Da Tiantian felt a little regretful: "Director Sun is such a nice person, and Dwelling in the Mountain is such a good movie, how come it has to be taken off the screen in the blink of an eye? It would be better if it could stay a little longer."

"Mountain Dwelling" brought at least 100 million yuan in box office revenue to "Lucy", and she can thank Director Sun for this for a month.

"There won't be such a good opportunity next time."

Da Tiantian was scrolling through the messages on her phone.

"On June 6, two Hollywood blockbusters, Man of Steel and Fast & Furious , were released simultaneously. The single-day box office of Lucy will probably be greatly affected."

Zhou Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, actually. Fast and Furious 6 is actually not the same genre as ours. Judging from the special effects, even if Man of Steel is better than ours, it's still limited. Don't worry too much."

He was slightly emotional.

Since "Man of Steel", Zack Snyder has become Warner's top director.

Then, Zack Snyder and Warner tortured each other until they grew old, and the entire DC superhero series had ups and downs.

Da Tiantian is still a little worried.

Zhou Mo advised again: "Besides, don't we still have Tiny Times? Director Guo Xiaowu will give us some help, just wait and see."

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up: "Oh yes, there is also Tiny Times.

But speaking of which, you keep saying that Tiny Times is bad, but I think their script is actually pretty good, at least much better than Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. "

Zhou Mo sneered.

"Any movie script is better than Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains, right? If Xiaowu hears what you said, he won't be happy at all. Instead, he will think you are scolding him."

Da Tiantian: ...

Ever since she read "Mountain Dwelling", she felt that everything in the world was much better.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't Tiny Times also be able to enjoy the benefits of Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains?"

"What? You want to take all the benefits of "Mountain Dwelling Picture" by yourself?" Zhou Mo teased Da Tiantian with a smile.

Da Tiantian smiled awkwardly but did not object.

She really thought so.

As long as you are brave enough, you can take over the box office.

For the sake of her own box office, she is willing to be greedy for once.

Zhou Mo looked at her troubled expression and pinched her cheeks: "Don't worry, it will be hard for Tiny Times to enjoy this wave of benefits this time."

"How to say?"

"The premise of using 'Living in the Mountain' as a raft is that the audience has no expectations for them, but the problem is that the audience's expectations for 'Tiny Times' are now no less than 'Lucy' to some extent, so you can imagine what will happen next."

Zhou Mo opened the Little Blue Book and showed Da Tiantian the expectations of users for "Tiny Times" in the software.

Currently, in the Little Blue Book, fans' expectations for Guo Xiaowu's first film have surpassed Zhou Mo, who earned 400 million yuan at the box office with "Lost in Love", and Zhao Yanzi, who earned 500 million yuan at the box office with "So Young", and are about to surpass Xu Zheng, who earned 800 million yuan at the box office with "Lost in Thailand".

Da Tiantian also saw these comments.

I find the extremism of some of the comments a bit unacceptable.

A bit too aggressive.

“You arranged these comments?”

Zhou Mo shook his head: "Not really. To be honest, the account I arranged was the only one that set the pace at the beginning. Later, Guo Xiaowu's fans gathered together to form a small group. A group of people gathered together, controlled the comments, reported, and prevented others from speaking... Later, the comments became like this."

He was a little surprised at first about the behavior patterns of these users.

But if you think about it, isn’t the behavior pattern of these people the same as that of the “locust army” in later generations?

So I accepted it quickly.

Make a fuss.

It’s better to make more noise.

If they don't cause trouble, how can they ruin the popularity of Director Guo and "Tiny Times"?

How can you arouse public anger if you don't make a fuss, so that you can directly arrange for the account to be blocked later.

Zhou Mo even thought that if the timing was right, he could arrange a showdown between the fans of Guo Xiaowu and Ms. Jia's director with the platform in his hands.

It must be very interesting.
