The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 132 The first day of confrontation!

In fact, whether it is "Crazy Stone" or "Old Devil's Strange Case", they are just the vanguard of Huayi and Guangying in the competition for industry status. There is no hatred, it's just life and death. , maybe you won’t come to see me, not to mention that the two films are both comedies.

Huayi’s strategy over the years has focused more on investment in theaters, and has reduced the proportion of both production and quality in the film industry. As a result, a problem has arisen. After the theater is built, it can really afford movies at the box office. but not.

It seems that it has nothing to do with Fengyue, this is a literary film, if you want to compare the box office with the commercial films that Director Jiang has honed his sword for three years, it is like giving food.

But I have counted the inside of Huayi, whether it is investment or self-filming, there is no one who can beat it, and it coincides with the "Crazy Stone" showing its edge at the College Student Film Festival.

Therefore, Huayi put his heart into the offline and online publicity of "Crazy Stone", and the corresponding Light and Shadow Media also tried their best. With fan traffic, coupled with the blessing of famous directors, it overwhelmed "Crazy Stone" from the very beginning.

The only advantage Li Mu has is that Huayi has more theaters than Light & Shadow Media.

But theaters also want to make money, and no one knows whether "Crazy Stone" will be popular before it is screened on a large scale, so the film schedule given by Hua Yi is actually only 30.00%. Yes, and mostly at night.

And "Old Magic City Strange Case" has a full 50.00% of the film schedule given in terms of light and shadow, which can be said to crush "Crazy Stone" in terms of film schedule.

On June [-], the Huayi Grand Theater premiered.

Li Mu didn't have many friends in the film and television industry, so all the stars who came to the premiere were invited by Hua Yi, which added a lot of color to the premiere.

The media and film critics who came here are also relatively close to Huayi. Of course, except for some of them who are paid to do things, most of them are just neutral. The movie is good, and they will not black you for no reason.Hehe, then we can only do business!At most, the mouth is not so harsh.

"Little aunt, hurry up, you're almost late!" Zhao Xuan urged.

Wang Tianhou said angrily: "It hasn't started yet, why are you in a hurry? Isn't it just a movie, and you still have to drag me here. Being photographed by paparazzi is another disturbance."

Zhao Xuan pouted, noncommittal, and dragged Wang Tianhou to his seat.

"There are quite a few of them!" Tianhou Wang glanced at her and clicked her tongue.

You must know that the tickets for the premiere are not cheap. Excluding the free tickets given by some media and film critics, the hall of 800 people was actually full.

Zhao Xuan said proudly: "That's right, I heard that this movie is very good, and it won two awards at the College Student Film Festival!"

"Hey, aren't you not interested in filming, and you only like singing? How do you know so much about this industry?" Wang Tianhou doubted.

It just so happened that the main creator came on stage to meet everyone.

"Oh, so it is so!" Queen Wang laughed and trembled.

Zhao Xuan's pretty face blushed and said coquettishly: "Little aunt, I just heard that this movie is very interesting, don't talk nonsense!"

After the host guided the crew members to interact with the audience, Li Mu picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that everyone can come to the premiere today."

"Woo~~~" The audience started booing.

Li Mu looked helpless: "No, this is not a cross talk show, did you go to the wrong place?"

"Refund~~~"

"Then you are delusional, I will seal the bathroom door for you later, and you are not allowed to leave until you finish watching!" Li Mu scolded with a smile.

The scene was full of boos again, and the film critics were also rating Li Mu's opening remarks in their hearts. A few words that seemed to be a joke made the atmosphere of the scene lively. Baba's lines are much better!
"I believe that everyone has seen some promotions, but I want to say, please clear all your previous impressions of this movie, and then watch this movie, you will have unexpected gains!"

After speaking, Li Mu gave up the stage with the main creator and sat in the first row of the theater.

Many film critics nodded slightly. If a film wants to be box office, it naturally needs publicity, but publicity itself is a double-edged sword. Many viewers come to the cinema with their subjective impressions of the film. It caused them to miss many small details in the movie.

The meaning of what Li Mu said is also very obvious. He has confidence in this film and does not give any guidance. The quality of the film is completely up to the audience to taste.

However, in the end is self-confidence, or conceited?In the end, it is the quality of the movie that you watch!

The opening animation is eye-catching, followed by Guo Tao's performance of seeing a doctor.

Some film critics wrote foreshadowing one in their notes: The beginning of the film uses a faucet as a metaphor for the male protagonist's condition.

After that, in just a few minutes, various mainline characters appeared on the stage, until the appearance of the international thief Mike, the context of the whole play is quite clear.

What's more interesting is that the international thief played by Li Mu is particularly prominent in the whole film because of his "foreign style" appearance, especially the "Xiangjiang version of Mandarin" that often makes people laugh out loud.

"Haha, this is too funny, he doesn't usually talk like that, how did he come up with it?" Zhao Xuan couldn't stop laughing.

Wang Tianhou also couldn't help laughing. In fact, Zhao Xuan said that she took her to watch the movie at first, but she was still a little unhappy. After all, in her impression, there are often some vulgar things in comedy movies. There are not a few fart jokes.

But this drama has changed her view on comedy. It turns out that comedy movies can also be not vulgar, and the jokes are promoted through the plot, which is far more dramatic than the jokes.

Leaving aside the fact that the emerald has changed hands several times, the trio of stupid thieves exchanged the real emerald for the fake emerald, which is a joke in the main plot. Just talking about the supporting roles in the play, the little characters have created a lot of jokes.

For example, "Brother Dao" later used an old-fashioned can to win the lottery in the car, but no one was fooled, while Xiaojun accidentally took a can of Coke while climbing over the wall. The key point was that he really believed it, and then ran away. It can be said that it is both ironic and funny to go to the capital to accept the award.

The most important thing is that the jokes of these little people are not separate from the plot. Xiaojun went to the capital to receive the award, but Bao Shihong misunderstood that he took the jade, and then led to many plots.

"How does this screenwriter have such a long brain? Isn't he so talented?" Queen Wang sighed while laughing.

Zhao Xuan's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them again. Yes, what is the structure of that guy's brain?Even if you are good at making music, even the written script is so interesting!
The film critics are in two completely different states. Some of them wrote a few pages quickly while watching the movie, while the other part just followed the direction of the plot just like the audience, giggling until the end of the film. Only then did I come back to my senses.

"Damn it, I forgot to take notes. Hurry up and write them down while you still remember the plot."

In the last scene of the film, Heipi steals bread and is chased by the bakery owner on a small electric donkey.

"Haha~~~~"

"Uh, this is the end? Why do I feel that time passes so fast."

"It's so interesting, I want to blow up this movie, it's the best comedy I've ever seen!"

"Yeah, it's so exciting. There are no vulgar jokes throughout the whole process. I can recommend friends to watch it with their children. It's very interesting."

With thunderous applause, Li Mu took the main creator of the crew to the stage again to thank the audience.

"how do you feel?"

"It's great! It's so beautiful!" The audience was also very generous!
"Since it looks good, can you help me promote it more?"

"No problem~~~~"

The premiere at the Huayi Grand Theater was quite a success, but Li Mu and the others still have a road show for the next one.

"How about Guangying Media?" Li Mu asked.

Lu Cheng shrugged: "It's full!"

In fact, Li Mu is no exception at all, this is the difference between having a star and not having a star, even if it is "crazy stone"

With such good resources from Huayi, it is still unable to directly compete with the "Old Magic City Strange Case". This is the status quo of the film market!

But the quality of the movie is ultimately what you watch. Many bad movies exploded a few days ago, and after a few days, their true colors are revealed. After all, the audience is not a fool, knowing that there is a pile of shit in front of them, wouldn't they make a detour?
Of course, "The Strange Case of the Old Devil's City" is definitely not a bad film in terms of quality. In the end, the two sides fought for word of mouth!

"Always pay attention to the scores of Wandou.com, and other major forums should follow up in real time!" Li Mu said to Shi Ran.

Shi Ran nodded solemnly, the pea score of "Old Magic City" has been maintained above 7.5, while "Crazy Stone" is at 8.5, which seems to be much higher, but this point of score advantage is not enough In order to let the audience ignore the star-studded blockbuster, and go to cheer for a low-cost comedy!
What is interesting about the ratings of Wandou.com is that movies with high ratings on it are not necessarily classics, but movies with low ratings must be bad movies.

Soon, Hua Yi and Guangying's navy began to attack. At first, they just helped their own side get high scores, but soon they attacked each other. The scores of both sides plummeted all the way. dropped to 6.3.
The Crazy Stone also dropped to 7.2, and this item alone cost millions, because Wandou.com needs to verify the movie ticket before commenting in order to prevent malicious brushing of ratings.

This battle was considered a tie, but after twelve o'clock, after the box office statistics came out.

Light and Shadow Media has become a sea of ​​joy. The box office exceeded 7000 million on the first day. Although it is not as good as some blockbusters breaking [-] million on the first day, as long as this result is maintained, it will be enough for them to make a fortune!

The box office of "Crazy Stone" on the first day was only about 300 million, which seems to be a lot worse, but considering the difference in the number of films scheduled between the two parties, as well as the difference in investment.

"Crazy Stone" performed well enough!
But this was not enough, Huayi was also bold enough to increase the film production of "Crazy Stone" to 40.00%[-] on the second day!
