Chapter 383 Impossible! (Please subscribe for support!)
...

Shen Hehe is very smart.

She knew that it was impossible for her to get the support of these domestic capital tycoons all the time. The reason why these domestic capital tycoons were willing to fully support her this time was because they were waiting for her to fail and then get the support of their master Xu Kai. compensation.

Therefore, Shen Hehe secretly thought about it, and prepared to take advantage of this possibly the only opportunity to play a big game.

How big is Shen Hehe going to play?

She is going to make a domestic sci-fi blockbuster, which will leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese film.

As we all know, there has never been any decent sci-fi movie in Huaguo, even if it is a general, it can't choose one.

And Shen Hehe and Xu Kai have filmed "Avatar", "Jurassic World", "Inception" and other sci-fi blockbusters in Hollywood, and have experience in shooting sci-fi blockbusters.

By the way, although Xu Kai has made "Avatar", "Jurassic World", "Inception" and other sci-fi blockbusters, strictly speaking, these can only be regarded as Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, not Huaguo sci-fi. Blockbuster.

Therefore, the Huaguo sci-fi blockbuster market is still blank.

It must be said that Shen Hehe found a very good breakthrough point, and the selling point she found hit the hearts of domestic film giants such as Wang Jun and Yu Dongdong.

In addition, Shen Hehe has indeed accompanied Xu Kai in the filming of "Avatar", "Jurassic World", "Inception" and other sci-fi blockbusters, and it is possible to make a good domestic sci-fi blockbuster.

In addition, Shen Hehe also put forward the idea of ​​taking commercial considerations into account, specifically she wanted to use the most popular and most trafficked Xiaosheng Lu Xiaocao as the leading actor.

The heroine Shen Hehe chose a domestic actress she likes very much, that is, Lin Qi, the goddess with a big mouth.

As for the supporting roles, Shen Hehe chose the best ones - if she couldn't handle it, she let Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and other domestic film giants handle it.

Besides, Shen Hehe doesn't dig into the horns - although she plays the banner of domestic sci-fi blockbusters, her special effects team uses all the top special effects teams in Hollywood, and she also worked with Xu Kai in "Avatar", "Jurassic World" ", "Inception" and other sci-fi blockbuster special effects team.

All these made Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and other domestic film giants very satisfied, and they even had the idea that "this Shen Hehe may really be able to succeed Xu Kai's class".

Therefore, in terms of investment, all the companies jointly invested one billion yuan in Shen Hehe, and stated that if it is not enough, they will give Shen Hehe more.

It can be said that Shen Hehe got the support that other directors could only dream of.

What's more, Shen Hehe's side just started filming, while Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others over there began to vigorously publicize and build momentum.

What do you say, Shen Hehe is Xu Kai's lover, following Xu Kai to film "Avatar", "Jurassic World", "Inception" and other sci-fi blockbusters, "Titanic", "Forrest Gump", "Shawshank" Redemption", "The Truman Show", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Schindler's List", "The Godfather", "Life is Beautiful" and other award-winning films.

What else to say, Xu Kai personally praised Shen Hehe as a movie genius girl who is rare in a hundred years.

On the other hand, Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others vigorously advocated that "Fortress" directed by Shen Hehe will be the first hardcore science fiction movie in Huaguo's history.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the propaganda about "Fortress" was all over the media for a while, overwhelming.

In addition, Lu Xiaocao and Lin Qi's powerful traffic.

Plus, the gimmick of Huaguo's first hardcore sci-fi movie.

In addition, the scandal and gossip between Xu Kai and Shen Hehe's master and apprentice.

Suddenly, Shen Hehe, who was only 26 years old, and her "Fortress" were inevitably pushed to the forefront.

It has to be said that Shen Hehe's psychological quality is not bad. Facing the praise, doubts and rumors from the outside, she turned a deaf ear to all of them, and just focused on filming her "Fortress".

This is actually one of the reasons why Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others have been strongly supporting Shen Hehe.

Let's put it this way, Shen Hehe is worthy of being a director who has studied hard with Xu Kai for many years and has seen many big scenes. At least her general direction is not wrong.

And because Shen Hehe used Xu Kai's team, and Shen Hehe, who admired Xu Kai, fully adopted Xu Kai's shooting techniques, so that Shen Hehe's "Fortress" was shot very quickly.

The specific process will not go into details.

In short, Shen Hehe finished shooting a sci-fi blockbuster that originally took one or two years to shoot in less than five months.

Seeing that Shen Hehe's continuous shooting speed was not much worse than that of the famous fast shooter Xu Kai, Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others felt that Shen Hehe might really have something.

Therefore, Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others stepped up the promotion of "Fortress", and poured out the best schedule for the New Year to Shen Hehe.

in short.

At the end of November, "Fortress" landed on the Lunar New Year file on time with an ultra-high screening rate of 11%.

But the result is that the first-day box office of "Fortress" failed to exceed 7000 million.

With such a box office result, many people shouted: "Impossible!"

These people can't figure it out, seeing how "Fortress", which has become this year's box office champion, can achieve such a poor first-day box office result?Could it be a mistake?

in fact--

Not mistaken.

In fact, those who feel that the box office performance of "Fortress" is not right are all those who don't pay much attention to "Fortress" or that do not follow "Fortress" so closely.

Anyone who really pays close attention to "Fortress" knows why the box office of "Fortress" was so dismal on the first day.

To put it simply, the reason is just two words - word of mouth.

In other words, the word-of-mouth of "Fortress" is too bad.

Some people are puzzled, isn't "Fortress" just released?How come word of mouth doesn't work?

In fact, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the attention of Shen Hehe and "Fortress" is too high.

Specifically, because Shen Hehe and "Fortress" received so much attention, the first wave of comments about "Fortress" came out as soon as the box office of "Fortress" passed.

Moreover, these comments also rushed to the hot search list.

If the evaluation of "Fortress" is good, this will undoubtedly be a great boost to the box office of "Fortress".

The problem is, these evaluations are all negative evaluations.

"A show of pure love in the last days of sci-fi may be a fresh and interesting exploration of sci-fi movies, but for "Fortress", which has been kidnapped by traffic, it has turned into a catastrophe, just like countless fakes. Just like pure love film and television dramas that emptied history, the riddled plot and unspeakable acting skills have completely ruined the film's not-so-bad special effects."

"What do Lu Xiaocao's fans want to see? Naturally, it's beautiful pure love and celebrity looks. What's the gimmick of "Fortress"? A war science fiction film. For director Shen Hehe who has no independent directing experience, this is a big challenge. It is difficult to juggle the task, because this film not only focuses on the secret love relationship between Lu Xiaocao and Lin Qi, but also takes care of Lu Xiaocao's idol burden, and also portrays the relationship between the protagonist and the team members. Friendship, but also to show the last days of human beings descended from an alien, so the whole movie is a mess, the most intuitive feeling of the movie from the beginning to the end is that it is unable to concentrate on any of the above points.”

"What we see in this movie is that the vague emotions of Lu Xiaocao and Lin Qi as the male and female protagonists are pale and feeble, and the friendship between the male protagonist and his teammates is almost zero. The composition of the perspective, many war scenes also use immature game special effects to deceive the ears and steal the bell, and even many sudden love and battle scenes make people feel inexplicable. In the end, even the sacrifice of teammates can’t produce even a trace of emotional resonance. The movie is like a MV for celebrities to show off, rather than a decisive battle for the survival of human beings at all."

"The technical flaws are not difficult to make up for, but the attitude of putting the cart before the horse has become an insurmountable moat in "Fortress". Such an attitude will never create a sci-fi fortress."

"The only merit of "Fortress" lies in the special effects production of the film. Under the circumstance that a group of stars with their own traffic are asking for a lot of money, the film can still reach a certain level of authenticity and can reflect some war scenes. It has not reached the bottom line of appalling. It can be regarded as a breakthrough for domestic sci-fi war films from scratch, if the film hadn't been hung with a bland and vulgar love scene, then "Fortress" might not have become so bad."

"..."

Despite the unanimous negative reviews, "Fortress" can still earn tens of millions of box office on the first day. It can be said that the capital is still powerful, and it can also be said that Lu Xiaocao really has certain fans.

But then, negative news about the fortress began to emerge frequently.

image:
"According to a ticket-buying software, "Fortress" has started selling tickets in advance in major movie theaters, and the ticket prices are particularly eye-catching for the shows attended by Lu Xiaocao. Some movie theaters adopt a model similar to the "regional ticket sales" of concerts. , starting at a minimum of more than 200 yuan, the "golden seat" in the center of the theater and at the front is even more expensive, with a price as high as 904 yuan, which can be said to have created a new record for moviegoing ticket prices. It is 39 yuan, and the ticket price for normal screenings is as low as 19.9 yuan, who is this Lu Xiaocao, can he compare with Yu Qingyun, why does his movie dare to sell such a high price?"

"According to reliable sources, the reason why Shen Hehe was able to mobilize such huge resources is because she slept with Yu Qingyun for four years and performed abortions for Yu Qingyun many times, so Yu Qingyun gave her this compensation. It's really disappointing, she has no resources, but she didn't even learn one-thousandth of Yu Qingyun's skills, and wasted four years of youth and the breakup fee Yu Qingyun gave her, it's sad and lamentable!"

"..."

As a result, the audience's disgust with "Fortress" has become stronger and stronger.

The final result was that "Fortress" was completely sold out after only five days of release, and in the end it only made a box office of more than 1 million.

All the film dealers involved with "Fortress" have lost out.

As soon as these people contacted for a while, they came to visit Xu Kai in groups.

When they arrived at Xu Kai's house, Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others didn't speak, just sighed there.

Seeing this, Xu Kai took the initiative to say: "Okay, okay, can't I open a movie myself?"

Hearing Xu Kai's words, Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others were overjoyed immediately!
Wang Jun smiled and asked, "Qing Yun, what movie are you going to make?"

Xu Kai glanced at Shen Hehe beside him who looked like a child who had made a mistake, and said, "My apprentice is focusing on domestic sci-fi, so I'll just make domestic sci-fi."

"Uh……"

When Xu Kai said this, Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others were all stunned!
To be honest, in the past Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others thought that domestic sci-fi was a good selling point, but Shen Hehe just fell so badly in domestic sci-fi that domestic sci-fi has become a joke. In this case, it is really not a good idea to make domestic science fiction.

Seeing the expressions of Wang Jun, Yu Dongdong and others, Xu Kai asked knowingly, "Why, I can't make domestic science fiction?"

Just as Wang Jun wanted to persuade Xu Kai to shoot something else, Yu Dongdong smiled and said, "Of course we can trust your famous brand, Qingyun. If you want to make domestic science fiction, we will make domestic science fiction."

Xu Kai nodded and said: "That's fine. Since you trust me, then I won't talk nonsense. I will pay half of the investment in Happy Wheat, and you will pay half. As for how to divide the half, you can discuss it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Xu Kai will bring tea to see off the guests.

Seeing this, Yu Dongdong hurriedly said, "Qing Yun, it's definitely not a problem if you want to make domestic sci-fi, but even if you come to make domestic sci-fi, you can't make a domestic movie in a short time, right?"

Xu Kai thought for a while and said, "Well, at least three months, mainly because modeling is too time-consuming."

When Yu Dongdong heard the words, he gave a thumbs up and complimented: "Qing Yun, among other things, your speed of making movies is really unmatched. No wonder you only went to Hollywood for three or four years, and achieved something that no one else can achieve in a lifetime." A brilliant achievement."

Xu Kaixin said: "I can skip all the detours and go straight to the topic, and I can also save other people's time of thinking and trial and error. Of course, it is much faster than others."

Yu Dongdong changed his tone, and said again: "But after three months, this year's Lunar New Year stalls are over, and the Spring Festival stalls are also over."

Xing Xuanming, the president of the Kyushu Publishing Alliance, said: "Yes, Lord Qing, we have set aside the best schedule for "Fortress". "Fortress" has only been released for five days, and it's just about to enter December, so it would be a waste if we don't use the two prime time slots."

Wang Jue, president of Sihai Film Distribution Co., Ltd., said: "The key is that we have managed to get the audience into the cinema to watch movies. If we destroy the two golden schedules of Lunar New Year and Spring Festival, it will take some time before this market can be redistributed." Feed back."

"..."

Xu Kai patiently listened to what everyone said, and said: "That's good, I will be the producer again, and let Hehe be the director again. We will make a movie before the 20th to fill up the two gold coins." Schedule..."
