From traffic to movie star

Chapter 246 Leading the Spring Festival

After Song Ziwen's film review of "Detective Chinatown" was posted on the newsletter, netizens could feel his excitement through the screen.

"The whole story is Wei Xun's rainbow fart, and it's still a professional level. You are too good. It makes me feel that I am not worthy of being a Wei Xun fan."

"I also watched the premiere at the time, but I would only say that it's so good-looking, I suffered from being uneducated, but I can prove that Wei Xun definitely deserves this praise!"

"It seems that Wei Xun's performance this time is really eye-catching. It seems that not only Song Ziwen, but also many film critics are praising him."

"I think most of the film critics are thinking, please stop acting in commercial films, Wei Xun, you have earned so much money and your acting skills are superb, hurry up and act in drama films to earn awards and don't waste your talent."

I have to say that some netizens have a very accurate view of the problem.

Apart from Song Ziwen, some of the film critics who attended the premiere of "Detective Chinatown" praised the film, and some criticized the film's shortcomings, but Wei Xun's acting skills were undoubtedly praised by everyone.

As a previous traffic, Wei Xun was not very popular in the circle of film critics before.

And because he always acts in commercial films, his acting skills seem to be quite satisfactory, and everyone has nothing to comment on. It is above the pass level and not yet excellent.

After all, in a purely commercial film, it is difficult to have any roles worth playing.

But after "Wolf Warrior", the film critics began to look forward to Wei Xun.

They hope that Wei Xun can set a good example for Chinese filmmakers, shoot more high-quality, high-grossing movies, and dare to snipe Hollywood imported blockbusters.

So when I was amazed by Wei Xun's acting skills when I watched "Detective Chinatown" in the theater, everyone began to praise them without hiding it!
Because film critics saw the potential of Wei Xun from the role of Li.

Then praise it fiercely, it’s best to make Wei Xun happy, in the future he won’t be obsessed with only making commercial films, but will dive headfirst into dramas or literary films, and work diligently to collect awards!
Unfortunately, this is impossible for Wei Xun.

For the development of Medal Media, he is doomed to take care of commercial films, but the accumulation of accumulation in the past few years has indeed made Wei Xun consider transitioning towards commercial films.

In the new year, he is already 25 years old, and he has reached the age of transformation.

"Brother Xun, it seems that the evaluation of "Detective Chinatown" is good in all aspects, and our previous marketing has also done very well. This Spring Festival, there is definitely no need to worry."

In the medal media office, Mao Bin smiled very easily: "36% of the filming, this seems to be the first time we directly lead, and won the highest filming without any suspense."

The last "Wolf Warrior" was unpopular because of its unpopular subject matter, and it ran into the false marketing of "White Shark" in the early stage.

Pushing forward, several of Wei Xun's films were not given much in the early stage, and they were reversed by word of mouth in the later stage.

But this year's Spring Festival schedule, with the foundation of the comedy "Charlotte", and Wei Xun's previous four or five high-grossing high-grossing transcripts, "Tang Detective" won 36 in theaters without much effort. % of the film.

This film scheduling rate is absolutely terrifying when seven or eight films compete for the box office during the Spring Festival.

After all, in the past few years, as long as Wei Xun's movies are produced, no matter what the subject matter is, whether they are unpopular or not, they will all be a hit!
Produced by Wei Xun, it will definitely make money!
And the rest of the film companies also knew that they couldn't compete with "Tang Detective", so they began to avoid the strongest opponents and fight each other.

In the end, Huaying Media's "Alliance of Gods" won 17% of the film schedule, ranking second, followed by Tianguang Media's "Dad Daddy" with 15% of the film schedule.

Surprisingly, Dynasty Entertainment signed a contract to release the buyout "Nobody's Chinese New Year", which won 14% of the film schedule, ranking fourth.

While Qicheng Culture's "Little Yellow Duck" has 9% of the film schedule, and Times Pictures' "Surprise Along the Way" is at the bottom with only 7%.

Because "Mr. Fox" is only screened in Xunzhang Media's own theaters, it is ignored for the time being.

"36% of the film schedules are indeed quite a lot, but it is impossible to make a premature conclusion now whether these films can be kept."

Wei Xun leaned on the office chair, carefully studied the film schedule, and said with a smile: "After all, high-ranked films have to bear the risk of low attendance, and this year's Spring Festival, these films should be of good quality, especially the one from Dynasty." "Nobody's New Year"."

Mao Bin frowned when he heard the words: "The name of the movie "Nobody's New Year" feels weird, and there are no big names, and the investment is so small that it won't threaten us. Maybe it will be popular, but the box office will definitely It won’t be very successful. However, the two films of Huaying and Tianguang have a strong momentum.”

This year's Spring Festival, except for "Detective Chinatown", the rest of the films have received good reviews after their premieres.

Different from the false marketing of "White Shark" last year, relying on Bruno's name to collect money, "The Story of Daddy" was praised as warm and funny, and the daily life of single fathers raising children reflects the appearance of single-parent families in society. The thrilling tension is full, and the special effects are said to be very sincere.

It's not just about praising the handsome leading actors, or the magnificent scenes, film critics and netizens who participated in the premiere can find bright spots in these movies, and specifically comment on the interesting or warm plots.

False marketing relies on gimmicks, while word of mouth is fermented little by little.

Among them, "Nobody's Chinese New Year" received the most praise.

Low-cost investment, down-to-earth actors, and the most down-to-earth story, this configuration will undoubtedly impress the film critics the most, and it will also impress the academics of the film festival the most.

As early as half a month ago, the crew of "Nobody's Chinese New Year" had already started a national tour. People who have watched this movie, whether they are real audiences or film critics, are full of praise.

Last year's "Wolf Warrior" was like this. The national tour planted the spark in advance, and then the follow-up release fully detonated.

"No, I have a hunch that we may really meet a strong enemy this time. Even if it's not "Nobody's Chinese New Year", it may be "The Story of My Dad" or "League of Gods and Soldiers."

Wei Xun shook his head and said: "In the past two or three years, the film market has been inflated by the stimulus of ticket subsidies. Some film companies have fallen behind, and those who have not fallen behind have also begun to have a sense of crisis. Especially this year, several major film companies are working hard. Making movies, because everyone is clearly aware that the movie industry is secretly coveted by big capital, and they all want to take advantage of the Spring Festival schedule to get off to a good start and prepare for the next crisis.”

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

After continuous stimulation and expansion, the Chinese film industry has finally reached the time when the wild flowers are in full bloom.

Wei Xun is not a god, he cannot guarantee that he will always stand on the altar of the commercial film field, so in the face of such a cruel battle, Medallion Media must also deal with it carefully with 12 points of spirit,
But fortunately, "Tang Detective" got off to a good start.

After the premiere, amidst the praise, "Tang Detective" started pre-sale on Panda Tickets.

The pre-sale box office of 1.3 million yuan, plus 36% of the film schedule, made it lead the Spring Festival stalls amidst the exclamation.

However, "Nobody's New Year" chose to open the secret key in advance on the day of the 29 o'clock screening on the twelfth lunar month, and screened nationwide. It can be seen that Dynasty Entertainment has full confidence in this movie.

But after all this Spring Festival stall, who can have the last laugh?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, seven Lunar New Year films officially meet the audience in theaters, waiting for everyone's review.
