Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 31: Dare to kill my horse, come on stage
As soon as "Let the Bullets Fly" was released, there was an immediate rush for tickets in all major cinemas.

The first day box office was 30 million.

The box office the next day was 40 million.

The box office in three days was 50 million.

The three consecutive increases in box office have made all the crew members start to celebrate. With this growth momentum, it is just a matter of time before they surpass "Earthquake" and win the box office championship.

In the chat group, all members shouted "Director Jiang is awesome".

Those who are slow to react still feel proud of it.

Those who reacted quickly have already started editing congratulatory text messages and asking for red envelopes in the chat group.

However, on the fourth day, the single-day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly" was shocking.

Forty million.

Compared to yesterday's box office, it dropped by 10 million.

For a moment, the entire crew was stunned.

Although the movie still achieved the same box office achievement of 1.6 million in four days as "The Great Earthquake".

But this decline has cast a gloomy shadow over people's hearts.

In the room, three people sat facing each other.

Ma Ke was a little nervous: "This data is dropping abnormally."

Jiang Wen took a puff of his cigarette and looked a little solemn.

Generally speaking, there are some movies where the box office drops sharply on the fourth day, but the amount is not significant.

This is common in films with famous actors and directors but poor quality.

The movie's box office revenue in the first three days was boosted by the fame of its director and leading actors, but after that the box office revenue would drop rapidly because the quality was too poor and ordinary audiences would not buy in.

Jiang Wen certainly wouldn't want to admit that his movie was bad.

According to his opinion, if the audience does not recognize his movies, it must mean that their appreciation level is not good enough.

But after all, he said a long time ago that he would "earn money while doing it", so he definitely hopes that the box office can be as high as possible.

Zhou Mo explained: "I consulted the cinemas. The decrease in box office is due to the weekdays and the fact that If You Are the One 2 is about to be released. The cinemas are rescheduling the screenings. It will adjust back soon."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere eased slightly.

Marco was about to contact the media to pass on the news, but was stopped by Zhou Mo.

"Don't worry, let the bullet fly for a while."

"what?"

Zhou Mo took out his cell phone and made a call.

"It's time to start."

"receive."

Half an hour later, messages popped up on the screens of all users who were watching the video on the website:

"The crew of Let the Bullets Fly, the director is silent, the producer is in tears: "Dare to Kill My Horse"."

Even if you return to the homepage, the first page of recommendations is the recommendation for "Killing Horses".

So, out of curiosity, users clicked on the video one after another.

……

Tick-tick (sound of a clock).

brothers,
Taking office,

Goose city!

The county magistrate is here! Goose City is at peace.

The county magistrate is here! There is a clear sky.

In Goose City, I only do three things:

Fair, fair, and Tama's fair.

Take a few steps and you will make great progress.

Tiger and tiger make wind.

It's like an eternity.

Domineering exposed.

Forget it.

No hurry, no hurry, just play with him.

Within three steps, pull out several of his teeth.

My name is Zhang Mazi and I am the county magistrate.

Can you hold the money while standing?

One is one, two is two.

Aren't you bullying honest people?

Treat them to guests, behead them, and accept them as dogs.

Xiang Yu invited Liu Bang.

County Magistrate Ma, County Magistrate Ma.

He is a genius at pretending to be confused.

One million and eight hundred thousand troops returned victoriously from the suppression of bandits.

Delivered immediately.

Then why do you believe it?

The county magistrate is really confused.

All I can think about is spreading your legs in half.

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.

How can I find brave men to travel around the world?

The heroes of the world are heroic, brave, and kind-hearted.

Gun in hand, follow me to kill Shiro.

Laugh×21s.

You want to fight with me?

Three days later, I will definitely give the county magistrate a surprise.

boom!
Lovely Zhang Mazi, how dare you kill my horse!
Translation, lovely, surprise.

She is my wife.

nausea!

Translation, lovely, surprise.

The surprise is three days later.

I killed myself.

……

When the song ended, all the users who watched to the end fell into the same daze as Jiang Wen.

After a while, users responded in various ways.

Among them, user Xiao Ming's reaction was to curse loudly. "What a history of Gou!"

As a loyal fan of Jiang Wen, he contributed his own movie ticket on the first night of the movie's screening.

At this moment, Xiao Ming felt insulted.

"Director Jiang's work is rich in content, full of beautiful lens, and is the result of painstaking efforts. This video is crap, it ruins the movie to pieces. The author doesn't think he is very smart, does he?"

He glanced at the author.

周墨
"I've never heard of Little Kalemi."

I clicked on Zhou Mo’s homepage and took another look at his updates.

only one:
“What you love is your life.”

So he happily left his comment:

"NMSMSHS."

After cursing, Xiao Ming still felt unsatisfied, so he simply reopened "Dare to Kill My Horse". When he was about to rant in the comment section, he found that the comments were completely different from what he had imagined.

"It's great, good reviews, I can't stop taking the medicine."

"My mother asked me why I was kneeling on the keyboard watching the video."

"Guys, I asked my boyfriend why he wasn't moving and he said he was watching Killing Horses."

“Advice for new viewers: watch it seven times, then watch it seven more times.”

Xiao Ming found it a little unbelievable. Why were there so many good reviews? Aren’t we watching the same video?
People all have a herd mentality.

When everyone says something is good, the first reaction of those who think it is bad will be to look for their own problems.

After all, in reality, there are only a few viewers who can do what the evil Uchiha did and doubt the world before doubting themselves.

The vast majority are ordinary people.

So, Xiao Ming hesitated.

He quickly read through the comments, hoping to find his own people among them.

Finally, his eyes lit up.

He saw a comment from user A:
[Based on the defense, what kind of thing is this? It is an insult to the original film. The author of this video is sensationalizing and is simply sucking blood from the film. They are bastards, beasts, and born parasites.

He should be dragged out and shot for five minutes. 】

Someone replied to him later:
[Brother, I know you are in a hurry, but don’t be in a hurry.

The first time I watched it, I also found it a little strange, but once you watch it a couple more times, you will understand why this video is so fascinating.

A:

[Even if I jump from here and die, or die outside, I will never be able to see it again.]

Xiao Ming felt that he had found a confidant.

"A fellow-minded person!"

Fans of Director Jiang should be so tough.

You should never change your stance just because others give you favorable comments.

If you say you don’t want to watch it, then don’t watch it!
Just when he was about to leave a support under A's comment, he suddenly found that A had updated another comment.

Click to see:
[Sorry guys, I just couldn't help but watch "Killing Horse" again. I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now.

I apologize to Director Zhou. He is not a bastard, not born a beast, and not a parasite.

He is the hero who lets the bullets fly! 】

Xiao Ming: Subway old man's face.jpg
Such a big change in User A made him suspicious.

"Is there something I didn't understand?"

So he refreshed the page.

"Just watch it once. I'll only watch it once. If it's still not good, then it means that the good reviews of this video are all fake. It's not me who is wrong, but the world."

Click play.

After a while.

After watching it for the second time, Xiao Ming pulled at his stubble, looking conflicted: "It seems not so bad, how about... listening to it again."

After the third time: "Oh yeah, it seems a bit high."

The fourth time, the fifth time...

Finally, after the nth time, Xiao Ming decisively left a message in the comment section:

"Director Zhou is here, the movie is so popular, Director Zhou is here, the box office will be there!"

Other users sent him private messages, asking him if he didn’t disapprove of Director Zhou?

Why the sudden change?
A screenshot of "NMSMSHS" is also included.

Xiao Ming replied:
"I'm sorry, I just had eye surgery and was a little blind before."

"So how do you feel now?"

"Emma, ​​it smells so good!"

……

"Dare to Kill My Horse" is a key part of the movie promotion at Mile Station

In addition to this recommendation, various related secondary creations, dubbing, and editing were used in a multi-pronged manner, making "Killing Horse" successfully break out of the circle in just one night.

With Zhou Mo's tacit approval, "Killing Horses" was also moved to platforms such as Youku, Tudou, and Tieba, and also caused a wave.

By the next afternoon, the number of views of "Dare to Kill My Horse" on Mile Station exceeded one million, and the number of views on the entire network exceeded two million.

(This number is just something I wrote randomly, please forgive me, readers.)

It is now 2010, and the media era is not yet as highly developed as it is in later generations.

One million views in 24 hours is higher than the total number of purchases of many movies.

In front of all the videos on the mile station, it can be said that all the mountains are small.

The fifth day box office results of "Let the Bullets Fly" are out.

Fifty-five million.

For a time, the entire entertainment industry was shocked.

Meanwhile, "Dare to Kill My Horse" topped the Mile Station charts.

In the room, Zhou Mo turned off his mobile phone and listened quietly to the system's voice.

[This optimization task has been completed]

[Optimized work: Dare to kill my horse]

[Optimization goal: Mile Station ranks first in the entire site]

[Reward: Features: Sticky, very close to the heart]

　The box office records of "Bullet" are quite confusing on the Internet.

　　I didn't find the exact numbers, I just found some information saying: the box office in the first three days was 3, 5, 6 KW, and then on the fourth day the total box office reached 1.6 million. A simple calculation shows that the fourth day was 2 KW.

　　This data is ridiculous.

　　The key fourth day is Sunday.

　　Therefore, the content of this chapter was slightly modified, with the fourth day scheduled on Monday, and the data was adjusted so that the box office conflict was not so great.

　　Considering how hard I worked to find the data, I would like to ask for your monthly votes, comments, collections, recommendations, and follow-up reading.

　　Thank you, dear readers!
