my gilded age

Chapter 435: A double hit at the box office and word of mouth!

On December 12, the two films premiered at the same time, which in itself has a strong sense of competition with each other. In addition, Bai Shiqiu and Lu Yan had previously exchanged insults in the air, which only added fuel to the fire.

Everyone is comparing the two movies "Nanjing" and "The Suit".

The premiere of Lu Jing's masterpiece was held first, and of course, the movie was released first. This is called attacking first. If his movie comes out first, then naturally the film critics' articles will come out first, and there may even be several Shaoshuijun has already prepared the manuscript.

Let's start with a wave of word-of-mouth bombardment to set up a rhythm. "Nanjing" is a good film. After this impression is formed, public opinion will naturally suppress "The Suit", so that it can be at the box office on the first day, and also It is the most direct way to take advantage of the zero point field.

This is a very good combat plan, and it is also very feasible. You must know that the two current films have the name of China Film in front of them, and their backgrounds are not small. In terms of film arrangement, Dolan, "The Foreigner" It can't compare to "Nanjing". After all, this new work by Bai Shiqiu is too hasty.

So once this combat plan is successful, it will naturally affect the subsequent box office trends.

No matter how good Baek Shi-qiu's "The Confession" was, and even if the reputation came out in the later period, many people woke up and found that this movie was very good, but at that time, no matter how hard it was at the box office, it could not turn over. .

Moreover, the most interesting thing is that it was Bai Shiqiu himself who arranged the premiere after "Nanjing", which simply gave Lu Xun an excellent opportunity.

Logically speaking, the time sequence is not a big deal, but now, the two films are tit for tat, and the posture is too much.

Will Lu Xun's battle plan succeed?

In any case, the first wave of articles about navy gunmen have already been published, and they are full of criticism about the movie "Nanjing".

However, to people's surprise, it didn't take long for a reversal to occur.

The first wave of reversal came from domestic film critics who only watched the premiere of "Nanjing".

“I don’t know what the so-called blockbusters are…”

"Nanjing is supported by four women... this is what Lu Xun wants to express."

"This movie should be called Women at War, or to use a phrase that everyone can understand, there are still intact eggs under the overthrow of the nest, or, more simply, it should be called Comfort Women."

“I really don’t understand why Director Lu Zhen pays so much attention to showing the Japanese in the Holocaust, especially their pain...”

Film critics themselves have to be able to criticize and dare to criticize. Of course, they will also charge some retouching fees, which is an open rule in the industry.However, for some films, they simply don’t dare to charge this money because they don’t know how to brag about it.

This is what happened in Lu Xun's movie.

Immediately afterwards, when Bai Shiqiu's "A Report on Foreign Affairs" came out, many articles appeared on Youxi.com.

Normally, critics would wait, but now, they're moving fast.

Now more and more movie fans know to read movie reviews before buying tickets. Now the Internet has become very developed, and mobile phones can access the Internet. Although most mobile Internet access is still in WAP mode, and the interface is ugly, but it can make you less It's not a bad thing to spend money on.

Reading movie reviews before buying movie tickets also speeds up the production speed of film critics and increases their income.

After Lu Fu and Jiang Xiaoyu watched "The Complaint", they immediately found a coffee shop, held their laptops and started typing.

There is really too much to say.

"In Lu Jing's new work, I see a filmmaker's efforts to innovate, but his efforts make people have the urge to beat him..." Lu Fu has a sharp writing style, and he is very fond of "The Suing of Foreign Affairs" The evaluation is like this.

"What is innovation? After watching Baek Shi-qiu's latest masterpiece "The Case for Foreigners", I really understood the word innovation! I don't want to say more about this movie, but I really have to say it, so I will just mention it. Everyone must come to the theater to watch it and keep watching it, it is definitely worth the ticket price!”

What kind of comment is this? It’s just Amway.

Jiang Xiaoyu still saved some face for Lu Jing. He talked a lot about "Nanjing", and the most talked about was the word "dispersion", and this was the case for Bai Shiqiu's "A Report on Foreign Affairs".

"Who said you can't make a good movie in a month? Bai Shiqiu told us that good movies sometimes don't have to take too long. Maybe those times are just wasted time. It took Bai Shiqiu a month, and he took out It’s an amazing film.”

These two, well-known film critics in the country, are really fierce.

But this was not enough. Soon, news about Zhang Zhiyi appeared on the entertainment pages of many portals.

"Reconciliation of conflicts between senior sisters and brothers?"

"When it comes to the topic of comfort women, the conflict between senior sisters and brothers does not exist."

The incident of Zhang Zhiyi being caught in the toilet was released like this. Of course, the main news in the news was about the box office use of "The Suit" and her donation.

Comfort women, this element was exposed in this way.

Time is passing, and by the early morning show, the originally strong reputation of "Nanjing" has quietly changed.

If someone uses big data to monitor these two movies at this time, it will be very clear about the box office results of the next two movies in the early morning.

However, there are still relatively few people doing this now.

……

Lu Jing is a gentle man, he wears glasses, and his appearance is definitely one of the best among domestic directors. Of course, this cannot be counted as some actors who have become a monk by the way, such as Bai Shiqiu. He is still mainly acting and directing. His name is generally not mentioned.

Lu Jing also has a beautiful girlfriend, Tan Lan, who comes from Shencheng in the northeast. She has big eyes and a pretty good figure, especially with fair skin.

This couple is regarded as the golden boy and girl in our domestic film industry, an absolutely perfect match, but today, there is some conflict between the two.

After the premiere, there were a series of activities, such as a cocktail party, and after the cocktail party, the two of them said something.

"I have to go to the other side of the company and watch the results of this early morning session. It's very critical."

"Ji, then you can go, why are you dragging me along?"

"Lanlan, if you come together, at least we will look professional."

"Forget it, just focusing on the box office is considered a professional? Shouldn't your major, Lu Ren, be in directing movies?"

Lu Yan wanted to take his girlfriend to the company to wait for the box office results of the early morning show, but Tan Lan didn't want to go. Her reason was simple. It was too late and she wanted to take a beauty sleep.

Female celebrities, you should pay attention to these things, especially since the two of them have been quite tossing each other recently and haven't been able to sleep well.

Lu Jing was a little angry, but he was always a gentle man and it was difficult to scold him, so he had no choice but to separate from Tan Lan and go to the company to guard him alone.

Lu Xun is a director of literary films, but he also has to keep an eye on the box office, but he has never been so focused on early morning shows before.

In the past, he only watched the box office on the first day at most, and in many cases, the box office was not ideal, or as he said to the outside world, he didn't pay much attention to the box office or something.

This time is different, this time is very different.

"Nanjing" is the biggest movie Lu Jing has ever made. The investment, the duration, and the amount of energy expended are all unprecedented. Lu Jing has high expectations for this movie.

Originally, after learning that the movie would be released in April next year, Lu Xun was very angry. He even vented his anger and told Tan Lan... Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a turn of events and it could be released in December. Released on the 4th.

This is the Lunar New Year period, the best period.

He should be grateful to that Bai Shiqiu. That guy's performance like a lunatic gave Lu Xun this opportunity. Now, Lu Xun was thinking about how to teach Bai Shiqiu, a lunatic, the best way after he won.madman!He is a madman!Incomprehensible lunatic!
Lu Jing can only scold him to this extent. After all, he is a gentle young director with a good reputation.

Media Asia has a company in the capital, but this time everyone came to the office building of Xingmei Company, where the results will be obtained more directly.

"Hey! Everyone is here, haha..."

"Ouch, Boss Jia."

"What did Boss Jia bring here now?"

"Celebrating the wine! How about it? The 82 Lafite, isn't it good?"

Boss Jia appeared, and he also brought an artifact that is almost inevitable in business banquets these days, the 82 Lafite.

In fact, many people also make the mistake of thinking that after so many years, why can’t they finish drinking the 82 Lafite?
But without such a wine, the level of the banquet dropped instantly. Everyone knew it was fake, but they still had to pretend to be "I am good at wine tasting" and "I am very knowledgeable".

Pretending skills in shopping malls are often tacitly expressed in this way.

Therefore, I will have to drink this wine for another ten years without finishing it.

"Mr. Jia, I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to our box office." Lu Yan was very surprised, but since Boss Jia is here, it is a good thing after all, and several other bosses are also present.

Jia Yaoting couldn't compare with Lu Jing in terms of facial features, but his smile gave people a very sincere feeling, "Director Lu, I just can't stand Bai Shiqiu bullying people like this this time! I came today just to see Everyone, beat Bai Shiqiu to a complete defeat!"

What he said was really imposing, and his attitude was also clear. Boss Jia absolutely supported Lu Ting and the movie "Nanjing".

You know, Boss Jia has high branches.

Ever since, the atmosphere was very good, everyone was very happy, and it seemed that victory was coming.

The early morning show, that is, the first show, was the first box-office confrontation between "Nanjing" and "The Suit".

We’ll find out at midnight, that is, after the ticket purchase ends.

……

Click, click.

In the Red Star Base, many people were staring at the clock, which was getting closer to the number 12.

"Where's Lao Bai?"

"This guy said he went back to sleep."

"What? What happened to him?"

"Yes! Teacher Jin is old, so he can just go home and sleep, but what is he doing?"

"Is it possible that he is not in good health?"

The senior members of Red Star, the main creators of this movie, are all here, including Zhou Shen, Yuanyuan, Mr. Zhou, Xiao Zhao and others...

Everyone was waiting for the results of the early morning session, but Lao Bai actually went back to sleep.

I was very angry, but there was nothing I could do about it. Who let this guy Lao Bai... He really contributed a lot to this movie.

Just bear with it and wait for the results.

The hour hand finally reached 12.

……

Star beauty.

Lu Xun didn't know why, but as the time got closer and closer to zero, his heartbeat became faster and faster.

Could it be that this is why commercial films are more exciting than box office?
Fortunately, he is gentle after all, and looks calm on the outside.

Finally, the time has come and the results are coming.

"How's it going? Hahaha..." Boss Jia was very happy. He opened the bottle of 82 Lafite without waiting any longer.

With a bang, a strong aroma of wine wafted out. At least it smelled like this bottle was real.

But the result...

"Our "Nanjing" box office was 560 million! This box office is very... this, this..."

The result came out, but this report made everyone dumbfounded.

"Nanjing" took in 560 million yuan, which is still a good result. However, there was one movie that took in 620 million yuan at the box office in the early morning screenings, and that was Baek Shi-qiu's "The Story of a Foreigner."

Do you still drink this bottle of wine?
Boss Jia was a little embarrassed. The bottle he brought was indeed the real 82-year-old Lafite.

……

At the same time, the Red Star base area was filled with joy.

"We won! Hahaha..."

"Lao Bai missed this moment of victory! Haha..."

"He deserves it!"

"Yes! Wait for tomorrow, let's play with this guy!"

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Everyone was very happy. In the early morning screening, after being behind schedule, and with the reputation being suppressed, it was able to win at the box office. This is awesome.

But, want to play tricks on Bai Shiqiu?

Zhou Shen couldn't help but look at his mobile phone. Half an hour ago, he got a text message from Bai Shiqiu, "It's great to take everyone out, and the celebration party will be mine."

Among the few people who understand big data, he is Lao Bai.

　Thank you all, I really appreciate it!

　　I'm a little sorry, the black car went out for a trip, so this chapter is a little late. This... I won't say more, and everyone understands.
