superstar director

Chapter 385

"Sure enough, it is worthy of director Ning Sheng's work. From the beginning to the end, there is almost no gap between people blinking. The plot is so ups and downs that people can't imagine what will happen in the next second. The feeling of being tightly attracted by the plot is really great. !"

"I used to think that Wu Zhengyu might be a villain in his life, but after this "Face Changing", I believe that Wu Zhengyu's villain label can finally be torn off, and his acting skills have finally improved under the stimulation of Liang Jiahui. upstairs!"

"As a Wu Zhengyu fan, I will bring my husband to watch it again tomorrow. Although Wu Zhengyu played the good guy for more than half of the time in this movie, but at the beginning, he played the bad guy so handsome and cool. I really love it! "

"Liang Jiahui is worthy of being the king of all kinds of actors. He plays what he looks like. The first half of the episode is a righteous policeman, and the second half is a crazy terrorist. It seems that a best actor nomination for this year's Golden Tripod Awards is indispensable!"

Sitting in the hotel, Ning Cheng smiled and looked at the computer screen, browsing various comments on "Face Changing" on the Internet.

The plot in the movie, the acting skills of the actors, and the wonderful scenes are all things that everyone likes to praise, especially the fans of Yingbao, who are also very excited that Yingbao can appear in such a big production.

Of course, some fans of Ning Tong left messages to complain to Ning Sheng, "Director Ning, you are Ning Tong's big brother, why don't you let Tong Tong make a cameo in your movie!"

Then, further down, there is a message that makes people smile even more helplessly.

"Ning Cheng, I love you, I want to marry you, and I want to give birth to you!" There is also a bracket behind it, which says (Emma is an American, outsider women age faster, or we oriental girls are more beautiful !)

Ning Cheng shook his head and muttered, "Love knows no borders, no one can control this!"

In addition to the comments from netizens, major entertainment media across the country have made various comments on "Face Changing", of course most of them are good, and most of the critics' scores are around 8 points, which can be regarded as an excellent boutique score.

Of course, some people like it, and some people hate it, or some people just like to sing against the mainstream. For example, one of the six media that was banned by Ning Cheng wrote on the headline of the entertainment section, "Ning Cheng used the trick of changing his face to tell everyone about a story. The game between two families not only shows the director's own psychology, but also affects the psychology of the movie fans, it is really incomprehensible, how did such a movie pass the review?"

They tried their best to reconcile with Ning Cheng, but Ning Cheng didn't give them any chance at all, and he was unwilling to even talk about it. Sure enough, he was blocked from the door.

And Ning Sheng's insistence also made the six media completely give up and completely annoyed.

Ning Sheng could refuse their interviews, but he couldn't refuse them to go to the cinema to watch a movie, and then comment on the movie in the newspaper, so naturally he couldn't stop them from making malicious comments with revenge.

However, for the majority of audiences, today's paper media and comments from various media are not the only channels to judge whether a movie is good or bad, especially because of different personal viewing preferences, media comments and fans' opinions conflict , Nowadays, with the popularity of the Internet, the majority of netizens look more at Douban's ratings on the Internet, and then look at the actors and directors, and then decide whether to buy tickets to support them.

On the first day of its release, "Face Changing" was screened in 4569 theaters across the country, and won 2.03 million yuan, directly winning the box office champion of the day.The attendance rate of the theater was a miraculous 95%.Of course, this first-day result can be said to be Ning Sheng's accumulated popularity in the past, and the box office appeal brought by the miracle of the box office of the two films exceeding 50 billion.

And on the next day, the attendance rate reached 96%, and it once again scored 2.18 million against the sky. The praise from the media was overwhelming, and the fans' enthusiasm for watching the movie erupted like a volcano!
The Douban score remained at a high score of 8.9 in the first three days. Except for those professional sunspots who scored 8, most of the audience gave a score of [-] or more.

Good word-of-mouth calls for more audiences to enter the theater, especially the first three days are the three days of the weekend, employees rest, schools are closed, a large number of audiences enter the theater, and among the movies released, the highest rating and the most word-of-mouth The good thing is "Face Changing". The actor's biggest name and the director's biggest name are "Face Changing". So why don't you watch "Face Changing"?

Ning Sheng flew to Tokyo with Wu Zhengyu and Liang Jiahui to do publicity, and after Huaxia's box office results for the first three days came out, some people who wanted to see Ning Sheng's luck could only curse secretly, but they had no choice.

A new week begins, and last week’s box office results were released. Unsurprisingly, "Face Changing" won its first weekly championship with 6.26 million yuan, while "Jin Yiwei" ranked second with 2.8 million yuan in the second week of its release. From 5.6 million in the first week, a drop of more than 50%. It is estimated that the final total box office of the film will be around 10 billion. For Zhen Zidan, it can be regarded as the highest-grossing movie starring in the film industry for more than ten years.

Speaking of which, Zhen Zidan is also a bit pitiful. Almost all the supporting roles he participated in are big stars, such as Ning Sheng's "Dragon Inn" and Wang Jing's "Yi Tian Tu Long" series, in which he still played the big The villain, a master of the Yuan Dynasty, and several other movies with a box office of more than one billion yuan, Zhen Zidan participated in the image of a supporting role.

However, the previous five or six movies he starred in, although they can't be said to have lost money, can't be said to have made a lot of money. Basically, they invested 8000 to [-] million yuan, and the final box office totaled [-] to [-] million yuan, always hovering in the position of second-tier movie stars superior.

But this time "Jin Yiwei" made him breathe a sigh of relief. If the final box office exceeds 10 billion, it will also send him into the ranks of first-line movie stars. Not to mention how popular, but he can finally be regarded as a star on the big screen up.

And ranked third is the cartoon "Ma Liang", which was released in the fourth week. This week, it won 9000 million again this week. at No. 8.8.

And the fourth place is the love movie "Kyoto Love Story", which is released in the third week. This movie is starring the popular star Gu Feng and three idol female stars. It is mixed with Japanese and Korean romance movies. For example, it turns out that they are brothers and sisters, they just got married and got cancer, and there are old-fashioned cheating, abortion and other elements of a bloody movie.

Originally, it won the box office championship with 5.8 million in seven days in the first week, but word of mouth began to plummet in the second week, with only 1.5 million left at the box office, and in the third week, there were only more than 5000 million left.

With an investment of 9 million yuan, famous directors and popular stars were hired at a large price. As a result, until now, it is very likely that they will not even be able to get back the money. For an investment of [-] million yuan, at least eight to nine dollars are needed to get back the money. [-] million is enough, but judging from the current situation, it is really a bit of a mystery to win the guaranteed box office of [-] million.

Compared with the heartache of investors, the director and leading actors of this movie are even more angry.The director of this movie is Kim Sang-jae, a Korean-born director. He started out by making love movies. He has made RB’s pure love movies, Korean tragic love movies, and Chinese youth love movies. , have achieved good box office results, and because the male and female protagonists in each of his movies are handsome and beautiful beauty stars, his movies are highly praised by many fans.

With the box office and word-of-mouth of several love movies in Asia are good, and they are very popular among young people, so Kim Sang-jae has been called "the number one love director in Asia" by the media in recent years.

This time, he was invited to direct the [-]-million-dollar big-budget movie "Kyoto Love Story". Originally, he wanted to challenge his own box office record and break through the one-billion threshold. Unexpectedly, his small threshold was indeed very close, but for For this movie with an investment of [-] million yuan, even if it has a box office of [-] billion yuan, it is not considered a success, at most it is not in vain.Not to mention that nine times out of ten they will lose money.

Kim Sang-jae had high expectations for the box office of this movie, not just the small threshold of one billion. He told the media that he challenged the threshold of one billion that he had never reached. He wanted to keep a low profile and wait for the box office. If he is taller, he can come out and pretend to be a B.

Originally, he expected about 15 billion in his heart, and even expected 20 billion, and wanted to win the number one box office of Asian love movies, but now it seems that not only can he not achieve his small goal, it is very likely that His career will also be hit hard, and his title as Asia's number one love director may soon be thrown away.

Kim Sang-jae couldn't turn a blind eye to this. Although compared to other directors in Korea, his box office performance is still one of the best in the Chinese market, but he has no interest in going back to Korea for development. pen income.

So he had to find a way to create momentum for the film and increase the attention. Under the current unfavorable situation, he couldn't care too much. He talked to the hero and heroine of the movie, and then they accepted it together the next day. A media interview.

The reporter asked, "Director Jin, the box office of "Kyoto Love Story" has plummeted in the past three weeks, and its reputation has been declining. Now its rating on Douban has dropped to 5.9 points. What do you think about this?"

Kim Sang-jae said, "I didn't expect the box office of this movie to become like this. In fact, every movie I scored was above 7 points. Although the box office has never exceeded one billion, the investment is also small. "Kyoto Love Story" invested [-] million yuan. We not only invited the popular Xiaosheng Gu Feng and the popular Xiaohuadan Yang Na, but also flew to Japan, South Korea, and Singapore for shooting. Whether it is the lens or the characters, I think it is more full , more mature, in fact, I am still looking forward to the box office of this movie, I think the box office of this movie should not stop here. The reason for the ideal, apart from the deliberate smearing by some sunspots with ulterior motives, is that the psychological unhealthiness of the audience is also an important reason.”

The reporter's eyes lit up, and he asked, "You said the audience's heart is not healthy, can you talk about it in detail?"

This is what Jin Xiangzai was waiting for, but on the surface he still put on a show, then sighed, nodded as if he was a little embarrassed, "I didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, it's better to say it, it's better for everyone benefit."

He drank his saliva, and then continued, "The reason why I said that the audience's psychology is a bit unhealthy is because I read the comments left by netizens on the Internet, and they are concerned about some common phenomena in "Kyoto Love Story", such as abortion, For example, extramarital affairs, such as friends cheating, etc. happen in movies, especially when they are concentrated in a movie, everyone is like a fragile glass heart, crumbling, unwilling to take a second look, do not believe it all, just feel The movie is unreasonable, the plot is too bloody, and the character arrangement is too far-fetched, but the movies are all based on real life, and in order to show the characteristics of modern love stories, I used these things that many girls will encounter today Isn't it a good idea to show it in a concentrated manner and make a correct guide?

Besides, no matter how bloody, unrealistic, or coincidental my movie is, can it be more illogical than other movies?Just like "Face Changing", which has just been released, the terrorists in it still feel sad for their relatives and sympathize with the relatives of their enemies. Isn't that bloody?There is also the plot of changing faces with high technology, can society do it now?If it can be done, I think the identity verification of the big shots in various countries will require frequent blood tests! "

The reporter asked excitedly, "Do you think "Face Changing" is like "Kyoto Love Story"?"

Kim Sang-jae hesitated for a moment, thinking about Ning Sheng's influence in Asia, and then thinking about his possible dark future after losing this movie. Anyway, he will not be able to make big-budget movies in the future, so he will hide from Ning Sheng in the future. The chances of going head-to-head with a big guy like Ning Cheng are slim, so he should seize the opportunity and give it a go. At least he can't lose the movie. Apart from his own reputation, he invested half of his net worth in it.

So, on the premise of not offending Ning Sheng very much, it's still a little hot, step on it lightly, and borrow your strength.

So he said, "That's not true. I'm not saying that "Face Changing" is not good. I mean that a film is an artistic film. Don't get too entangled in the details and keep finding faults. Instead, you should find out what the director wants to show. Something infected by the actor's acting skills. Just like the movie "Face Changing", I like it very much."

He first praised it, and then began to use his strength to build up the popularity, "I saw people on the Internet saying that "Face Changing" is a sex game between two mortal enemy families. Although it sounds bad, but in fact, I I think this is also a very interesting point of view, and it is also a kind of thinking that this movie brings to everyone, and in the process of watching the movie, not many people will be angry and angry at the fact of this "***", everyone just sighs The film is exciting and the gun battle is intense, so why are so many people entangled in the plots of abortion and cheating in "Kyoto Love Story"? Isn't it easier in our movie than plots like "***" Accept some?

Audiences can accept more excessive "***" plots, but they can't accept plots such as girlfriends cheating and boyfriend cheating. Isn't this sick, unhealthy, perverted, what is it? "

Kim Sang-jae took a breath, looked at the camera and said, "Of course, the mentally healthy people I'm talking about are most likely so-called sunspots. I don't know where so many people deliberately discredit our movie. , but what I want to say is, all the sunspots, all your stupid remarks, you can’t prove anything except that your hearts are unhealthy and perverted. Audience friends, don’t believe the rumors on the Internet, if you If you want to see a real and touching modern love story, please come to the theater and support our "Kyoto Love Story"!"
