This top guy only treats celebrities as his job
Chapter 567: Selling Pitiability VS Selling Honesty
It can be said that although the theaters do not have much confidence in the movie "Street 20", the screening schedule today still reached %.
The reason is simple. There are no new films at the moment, and the quality of old films is average.
For example, the preview of "Under Fire" was actually not low in schedule, but in order to control word of mouth and public opinion, "Under Fire" did not have a nationwide preview.
Otherwise, "Hotwire" is actually not much different from the official release.
Many movies nowadays will be screened in advance, and some movies will even be screened for more than half a month. They will first grab some screenings through advance screenings, and then grab more screenings when they are officially released. As long as the quality is good, the strategy can be successful.
Of course, many movies were clicked away while they were being screened in advance.
It is precisely because of this that "Fire Pursuit" has not been screened nationwide, which makes the industry feel that this movie may not have much confidence in itself.
However, some people also said: "I think the fact that "The Wire" dares to open previews proves its confidence, which is much better than "The Streets of Fury" not even daring to open previews."
This is true.
After all, "Hot Street" has been kept secret since its preview on the 23rd, and even the trailers barely show much flesh-and-blood content.
In short, all the exciting clips about Lin Xing as the villain were kept secret.
Many people in the industry did not believe the praise from the film critics at the premiere.
Stop it.
You have to know that the audience has been deceived many times.
Many people in the industry or those who hate it think that "Street Shooter" will definitely flop, and that the film is only trying to cheat the audience out of their ticket money when it is released.
But some viewers didn't think so.
This is what we called word of mouth before, or box office success.
Many actors, including Sharp and Chen Xing, who once carried the box office, have gradually been abandoned by the audience.
But Lin Xing is still believed by many people.
This belief comes from Lin Xing's seriousness in his work over the past five years.
In the eyes of the film industry, none of Lin Xing’s four films in the past five years are bad movies.
The four movies "Killing Ading", "Sunspots", "Going to Heaven" and "Parallel Cohabitation" did not disappoint the audience.
It is for this reason that many viewers are thinking about going to the cinema. They feel from the bottom of their hearts that "Hot Street" should be good.
After all, this is starring Lin Xing.
The audience doesn't care what the industry says, because in recent years, everyone in the industry has been talking nonsense, saying that having money makes you a sissy, and they are also trying to suppress the audience's aesthetic taste.
Even those in the industry always want to be the fathers and are detached from the audience in various ways. That's precisely why the audience will be even less likely to listen to them.
Let me put it this way, in the past decade, those who have always wanted to educate the audience have all been abandoned by the audience.
with no exceptions.
It is precisely because of this that people like Ouyang Qing no longer dare to confront the audience in the past two years.
The reason is simple: only money can teach them how to be human.
Today, the first batch of audiences have entered the cinemas in many cinemas in the capital.
"Hot Street" was released at 1 o'clock, but at 1:05 a bunch of people started giving it a score of 1 on Douban.
“The movie is rubbish.”
"It's really bad. There's a reason why we don't allow previews."
"I've always said that you should never go after actors, especially those with 258 million. Lin Xing is nothing more than a good marketer."
"Rubbish, rubbish, don't watch this movie."
……
At this time, Meng Yan naturally saw all these negative reviews.
"Collect these negative reviews first, no need to respond."
Meng Yan smiled and said to the staff: "They really treat us as fools."
This is indeed the case.
The black is a bit too deliberate.
Douban hasn't even watched it yet and you're already criticizing it. Do you look down on the audience's intelligence?
At this time, most of the audience entering the venue have no time to look at their mobile phones.
This "Hot Street" is a movie with no boring moments throughout.
Everyone is always afraid of missing out on key plots. In short, everyone is really excited about watching this movie.
After watching it, everyone thought that this was the only movie that wanted the villain to win.
Because those so-called decent people are so hypocritical.
Everyone thinks that Awen did nothing wrong. They even think that it is the world that is wrong. So what if Awen really destroys the world? ?
Right after the first session ended, more and more people started to discuss the topic online.
"I really hope that Lin Xing can always play villains. This villain is so good and so pitiful."
"Damn, watching Lin Xing's character Awen really makes me feel broken. It's so tragic."
"I really think that Ajie is a bit too saintly. Damn, if he had helped Awen, things might not have come to this."
……
In short, there are more and more discussions online.
Not only that, many people even said that this movie has only one protagonist, and that is Lin Xing.
Xue Li’s role as Ajie is so handsome.
Because he is too upright and follows the rules everywhere, no one likes him.
People even think that Ajie is a bit double-standard. When it comes to his own affairs, he starts to disobey the rules.
"No, I want to ask who the hell is behind all these so-called bad reviews? All these bad reviews are from black people."
"These negative reviews were given before 1:10, and they were too concentrated. You haven't even finished watching the whole thing yet and you're already criticizing it?"
"I'm so happy. I just want to ask if you guys really hate Lin Xing so much?"
……
As the second game came to an end, more and more passers-by began to leave.
For passers-by, it is actually very simple. They only care about one thing when watching a movie, that is, whether the movie is good or not.
At present, "Hot Street" is a very good movie, especially Lin Xing's performance is a plus.
This afternoon, the leading actors of "Hot Street" also dropped by the Capital Cinema.
Lin Xing still likes this kind of parachuting because he can chat with real audiences instead of fans of this or that.
The most important thing is that if the show time is announced in advance, the box office for this show will reach a terrifying price. This is not what Lin Xing is happy to see.
So starting with "Killing Ading", Lin Xing began to actively choose to go to the movie studio.
Anyway, no one knows which cinema their crew will go to. Even in the cities where the roadshow is taking place, the major cinemas don't know which cinema Lin Xing is going to.
In this way, the cinema will naturally feel embarrassed to raise the price.
Today, Lin Xing dropped into a small cinema.
When Lin Xing, Xue Li and others appeared, screams were heard at the scene.
"I'm sorry to bother you all."
Lin Xing first said to everyone: "If you have anything else to do, you can leave from there. If you are willing to chat with us about the movie, then stay and chat with us."
No one left.
You know, everyone feels like they have won the lottery, so who would want to leave at this time? ?
"Hello, Lin Xing, I want to ask if the character Awen really regretted it in the end?"
One viewer said: "Or does he just regret being shot dead by Ajie?"
"In fact, we discussed this issue during filming. I think it's half and half in the movie."
Lin Xing thought for a moment and said, "Awen was once a rising star in the police force. He had the best chance of promotion, but he was used by his superiors when catching criminals and took the blame. So they were tragically imprisoned, so it was natural for them to turn evil..."
As for Awen, Lin Xing believes that Awen is a criminal with a high IQ, or even an extremely paranoid and extreme person.
When he is righteous, he is extremely righteous, but even so he will stop at nothing to catch criminals. But after he turns evil, he naturally becomes completely evil.
"No, no, I don't like people to empathize with him. What we actually need in life is a good policeman like Ajie who abides by the rules..."
When Lin Xing was asked about the character Awen, he quickly said: "Awen had evil in his heart, so after he got out, he killed his ex-girlfriend. Not only that, he also killed his ex-girlfriend's husband. These are all innocent people..."
In the following conversation, Lin Xing spoke with a positive attitude.
For example, everyone should not go astray, and should not easily release their evil.
Just like Awen said, many times one wrong step leads to all wrong steps, especially when you fall into the abyss, it is very difficult to get out again.
Finally, an audience member asked about the box office.
"You don't really need to worry too much about the box office. This is what we need to consider..."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "We just hope that the audience can like this movie. If you have any dissatisfaction with this movie, you can also tell us and we will change it in the next movie..."
At this point, Lin Xing paused and said, "I have said the above before during other movie road shows. I want the box office to be as high as possible, but we don't make movies just for the sake of box office."
At the same time, "Fire Pursuit" was also on roadshow.
"Under Fire" will be officially released tomorrow, but today the screening schedule of "Under Fire" is not much different from "The Unforgotten".
Let me put it this way, today "Hotline" was no longer in control, and chose to compete head-on with "Street Shooter" in the afternoon.
"I think the movie "Hotwire" will definitely have a good box office, and we don't want to have any regrets about this movie..."
Mr. Chen said very emotionally at the roadshow: "I have been making movies for nearly 60 years, and there is not a single good part of me. It can be said that getting injured while making action movies is commonplace. Why do I still make action movies at this age? Because I love action movies. I am afraid that if I don't make them, I will die..."
This is selling feelings.
Not only Chen Sheng, but also Liu Yunxia and other action actors shed tears on the scene.
In short, they are not just selling sentiment, they are simply selling misery.
Let me put it this way, it might have been fine if it had been sold this way ten years ago, but audiences don’t buy it anymore.
What's so miserable about you celebrities?
No matter how miserable you are, can you be worse off than us, the beasts of burden?
Because of this, when the roadshow of "Fire Pursuit" that sold misery and sentimentality came out, and the publicity and promotion department then started marketing, the audience directly rebelled.
"If it's a good movie, we're willing to watch it. But if it's a bad movie, how can we support it? We don't owe you any movie tickets, Mr. Chen."
"If you really feel tired or wronged, you can just quit. Damn, you're talking as if the audience owes you money."
"I'm happy, Mr. Chen. Do you think I will still believe what you say now? Ten years ago, you said that I would go to the cinema to support you in your last action movie. Now, forget it."
……
"I think the only actor who can speak human language is Lin Xing. Look at what Lin Xing said?"
"Yes, Lin Xing directly said that he hopes the audience will not pay attention to the box office, and just watch the movie. If it's good, then support it. If you don't like it, then see you at the next movie."
"Lin Xing is not like this with just this movie. When everyone thought that the previous movie, Parallel Cohabitation, was a flop, Lin Xing said that the cost had already been recovered and that everyone didn't need to feel sorry for him. He didn't feel miserable at all."
……
The promotions of the two movies are now colliding, one is selling pity, the other is selling honesty, so which one do you prefer? ?
Of course I like honest people.
What's more, Lin Xing's honesty is not a character setting, because he has been like this for so many years.
How could a living person in the domestic entertainment industry just talk about it?
Lin Xing has always been a living figure in the domestic entertainment industry, and he is almost the only one.
Mainly because it was a coincidence today.
"Hotwire" kept hoping for audience support regarding the box office, while "Street 4" was very indifferent.
Of course, this Buddhist attitude does not mean that "Hot Street" has no expectations for the box office, but everyone just doesn't want everyone to watch it no matter what.
Simply put, don't rush to cut leeks.
This is not like some actors who keep urging their fans to spend money, and some actors even personally hope that fans will spend money.
From this point of view, Lin Xing's side is really quite earthly.
Today, "Hot Street" participated in a total of three roadshows.
During the last show in the evening, there were already reporters who had rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and they stopped Lin Xing.
"Lin Xing, what do you think the box office of "Hot Street" can reach? Do you think it can beat "The Wire Pursuit"? "
"Lin Xing, Mr. Chen is hoping that the box office of "Hot Pursuit" will be higher today. Don't you hope that the box office of "Hot Street" will be higher?"
……
These media never surprise anyone.
This refers to the ability to stir up trouble.
How many times has this happened?
They didn't give up before, and now that the movie is officially released, they are still starting to make trouble.
"Can you guys do something human?"
Lin Xing said this in a somewhat unfriendly tone. (End of this chapter)
