This top guy only treats celebrities as his job
Chapter 590: Victory or defeat, life or death
Lin Xing was interviewed again in the evening.
He brought Chen Ning, Ren Yi and Guan Peng with him, and let the others rest.
For this science fiction movie, Lin Xing feels that he should just tire himself out by going on the roadshow, after all, the other people in the show are all older.
There's nothing wrong with Ren Yi and Guan Peng.
At present, Lin Xing and Chen Ning are the main people running the show.
No one can say for sure what the first-day box office data will be like, and everyone else is quite worried about this.
Of course, everyone is still a little optimistic.
The reason for optimism is that among the seven films currently released during the National Day holiday, "Death on Earth" is the only one that has received mostly positive reviews.
To be honest, Lin Xing was not surprised by such a good reputation. He had said before that most of the time it really all depends on how hard you put in.
"Teacher Lin, first of all, congratulations on the good reputation of your science fiction film. Many people now think that your film will open the door to science fiction..."
This time it is Zhalang’s live broadcast room. Tomorrow Lin Xing and others will go to Zhalang to sweep the floor.
However, tonight is the first day of the National Day holiday after all, and the online business war has actually already begun.
At present, the reputations of the two movies "Mountains and Seas" and "The Undertaker" are not very ideal. For this reason, the creators went a little crazy.
As for the Hollywood blockbuster "Light of Future Past", it has basically been abandoned by everyone.
That's right.
In the past, when Hollywood blockbusters were released, countless people would praise them, or even support them, thinking that Hollywood blockbusters were great no matter what.
Even if someone criticizes a Hollywood blockbuster, they will be scolded by others, saying, "What do you know? You didn't understand it."
But it’s different now. The Hollywood filter has long been shattered, because although domestic films also have their own problems, Hollywood’s failures are even worse.
In a word, it all depends on the support of peers.
As for "The Runaways", the creators knew that the movie did not have a good reputation, so they were just promoting it responsibly. Whoever wants to criticize it can do so, it doesn't matter.
The other two animations are ignored for now.
For this reason, the three movies that attracted the most attention on the first day of the National Day holiday are actually:
There are three films, "Mountains and Seas", "The Undertaker" and "Death on Earth", but in terms of screening, "Death on Earth" is far inferior to the first two.
Lin Xing had already responded during the roadshow just now, and now he is responding again.
"In fact, it's all about the audience's love for us, or trust in us. As you all know, there are five parts in the Death on Earth series, and we definitely shot all five films in one go. It was really risky at the time, and it's still quite risky now."
Lin Xing smiled and said to the camera: "After all, when the pre-sale of the National Day holiday started, not only was there a small number of screenings for Death on Earth, but the pre-sale box office didn't even reach 10 million."
The host said: "Yes, I still remember that everyone thought that when you were preparing for the preview, it was a suicide preview."
"Yes, in fact, it's not just the audience. Even Meng Yan, who is in charge of publicity and promotion, is a little panicked. She feels that the film is going to fail. And then, it just so happens that we randomly invite film critics to participate in each film, but this time everyone is already quite disgusted with film critics..."
Lin Xing joked, "So the premiere was like adding insult to injury. Didn't everyone say that our movie was going to flop?"
"Axing, you better keep a low profile. Our movie is not stable right now."
Guan Peng on the side said jokingly.
Ren Yi also said: "Old Guan is right, we still need to keep a low profile."
"We should really keep a low profile. After all, the first day box office figures haven't come out yet. Anything is possible."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "But I believe in our audience. I think the audience has sharp eyes, so I am confident about Death on Earth. I had it before, and I am even more confident now."
The following live broadcast still revolved around the movie, and the plot of the movie was also discussed.
"In fact, I have said before that Brother An and I rarely meet on the set. We are two different lines. Not only do I rarely meet Brother An, I also rarely meet Teacher Zhu..."
Lin Xing said at this time: "My line mainly involves scenes with Guan Peng, Teacher Liu Baofeng, and Chen Ning."
"Speaking of which, is this movie the first wedding?"
The host asked Lin Xing: "How does it feel?"
"Why is this your first wedding? Have you forgotten when I was filming Killing Ading? That was my first wedding..."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "You want to deduct money? This is not enough work."
The host hurriedly said: "My bad, my bad."
"Just kidding. Actually, I was going to say that I will also have a wedding in "Charlotte's Troubles" next. I'll get used to it."
Lin Xing said nonchalantly: "This time, everyone is mainly thinking about getting this thing done together. You know how many years it has been since science fiction movies started to fail. Everyone is thinking about making a science fiction movie that the audience will like anyway..."
The host asked, "What if it fails? And isn't it too risky to make five movies at once? After all, if the first one fails, all the subsequent ones will fail..."
"I have said this before. It is precisely because we are worried about failure, or even worried that everything will fail, that we want to finish filming in one go. And not only that, we have discussed the entire production process again and again. I have only one request for everyone, and that is to make sure that the show does not fail..."
Lin Xing said: "I don't want to wait until a celebrity's reputation is ruined and we use AI to replace their faces. You know, AI looks good now, but it's still a little lacking..."
The star Lin Xing chosen this time was indeed carefully selected.
He wanted to shoot five films in one go just to maintain continuity.
Of course, Lin Xing also joked: "There is another reason, that is, if the movie becomes popular, what if these people want to increase their pay?"
Guan Peng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Ah Xing, as long as it's your movie, I will definitely not raise my pay."
Not only Guan Peng, but Ren Yi also said so, and Chen Ning also quickly said so.
joke.
This is a science fiction movie, and Ren Yi and Guan Peng were not very well-known in the film industry to begin with, but now they have one, no, five films to prove themselves, and they are determined to shoot the film even without any pay.
As for Chen Ning, there is no need to mention him.
It was completely beyond her expectations that she could play the leading female role, and everyone even said that Chen Ning was so lucky.
Of course, there are other options as well.
After all, when a small-time unknown actress plays the leading female role in such a large cast, everyone would think of something else.
It would be okay if it flopped, but now the word of mouth is so good, and if the movie is also successful, then it will be different.
Chen Ning doesn't care about anything, she just wants to seize this opportunity.
The interview is still ongoing.
"Everyone trusts me, but it doesn't work that way. Often, even if the artist doesn't want a pay raise, the agent won't agree. Look at how many movies there are where everyone stars in the first one, and then the second one becomes a hit and the pay is higher, so the whole thing breaks down..."
Lin Xing said slowly: "This happens too often, and more importantly, not to mention three or four years, even in one or two years, the changes are often quite large, so I want to finish filming in one go, at least to maintain the completeness..."
At this point, Lin Xing also joked: "Of course, if the box office is better, then I will give everyone red envelopes. If the box office is bad, then forget it."
The next thing to talk about is naturally the box office.
"Actually, it's hard for me to predict the box office. I hope the more the better, but there are only 11 screenings, so how many more can there be? I just hope I don't fall too far behind." Lin Xing didn't have too high expectations.
After all, the pre-sale of "Shan Hai" alone was 4 million, so the box office on the first day must be at least 5 million.
In addition, the pre-sale of "The Undertaker" has exceeded 150 million, and the box office on the first day will probably not be low.
Therefore, Lin Xing thought that all he had to do was defeat "Escape".
Generally speaking, whether it is the National Day or the Spring Festival, the first three days are basically the focus.
The first three days determine everything.
The next day, October 10, almost everyone looked over here.
"I think it should be no problem for "Shan Hai" to win the first-day championship. After all, no matter from which aspect, the movie "Shan Hai" cannot lose."
"Yes, he has such a strong fan base, and his film schedule is high. After all, Master Guo is not like other directors. He still has appeal."
"Word of mouth is important, but sometimes it's not that important, because now that everyone is hyping it up, maybe a lot of people will want to watch it too?"
……
At present, everyone unanimously believes that "Shan Hai" will win the championship on the first day of the National Day holiday.
This is indeed the case.
Once the data came out, it was indeed what everyone thought.
"Shan Hai" is far ahead with a single-day box office of 5.2 million.
Following closely behind is "The Undertaker", which took in 1.8 million.
As for "Dead on Earth", it earned 1.3 million.
"The Runaway" earned 1 million yuan.
"Guangqi" won 8000 million
The other two animated films grossed less than 2000 million in total.
It can be said that the National Day period is the strongest one.
Next, countless record-breaking posters about "Shan Hai" have been prepared.
You know, this 5.2 million has indeed broken multiple records.
The current forecast for "Shan Hai" has reached over 40 billion.
As for "The Undertaker", it only earned over 20 billion.
Of course, to be honest this is considered pretty good, but the really impressive one is "Death on Earth". You know, the screening of this movie is much behind "The Undertaker", but the box office difference is not that much.
At the roadshow, Master Guo was relatively calm when being interviewed. He said: "The facts prove that the audience's eyes are sharp. I don't think this movie will be affected by malicious ratings. I also want to say that you will only know clearly if you watch a good movie..."
In addition to Master Guo, other actors also expressed their gratitude for everyone's trust and support when interviewed.
On the other hand, Qi Ning was not worried about the first-day box office, as he also believed that the film had been subjected to malicious reviews.
That's right.
Qi Ning just felt that all this was done by Lin Xing.
How do you say it most of the time?
Some people may be grateful for a while after you help them, but they will forget it completely afterwards.
Think about how Qi Ning's "Going to Heaven" was filmed? ?
Without Lin Xing, who would make this movie? Who would invest? And how could it have such a high box office? ?
At the beginning, Qi Ning was really grateful, but now, Qi Ning feels that the movie is the result of his own hard work.
Just like when he was filming "The Undertaker", he didn't communicate with Lin Xing at all, and they didn't even cooperate with each other.
After all, this is Ouyang Qing's play, and Lin Xing and Ouyang Qing don't get along.
Don’t you think it’s annoying?
In the beginning, Lin Xing and Ouyang Qing didn't get along because of Qi Ning, but now Qi Ning and Ouyang Qing are on good terms, and now they both hate Lin Xing.
Also at the roadshow.
"Not surprising. In fact, I am a little surprised that Death on Earth failed at the box office. After all, the word of mouth is so good. Plus, we take this movie so seriously. It can't be too bad anyway..."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "I'd better thank you. Thank you for the audience's love. I believe in the audience's aesthetic taste and their level of appreciation."
In fact, the entire crew of "Death on Earth" breathed a sigh of relief regarding the box office.
You should know that it ranked third in terms of screening and box office, but "Death on Earth" ranked first in terms of attendance.
Then tomorrow can be said to be quite critical.
No.
Today is quite critical.
Because today the screening schedule of "Dead on Earth" has been increasing, and it is basically the same as "The Undertaker".
At the same time, the screening schedule of "Shan Hai" has also increased.
After all, it is normal for the box office to increase in screenings.
What no one expected was that when the box office figures came out the next day, everyone was collectively dumbfounded.
No.
To be precise, the screening schedules of major cinemas have gradually changed today.
Because compared to the packed "Shan Hai" theater on October 10, there were not many people in the "Shan Hai" theater on October 1.
Some theaters only have a few people in them, but they haven't come to see the movie yet.
Doesn’t this prove that “Shan Hai” is going to fail?
Apart from that, there is no need to mention "The Undertaker", which was a complete and utter failure.
On October 10, the data was updated again.
The box office of "Shan Hai" has only 1.9 million left, which is actually not low, but compared with the box office of the previous day, it is too bad.
In addition, the single-day box office of "The Undertaker" was only 5000 million, which is a big drop.
At the same time, "Death on Earth" had a single-day box office of 2.1 million yuan, directly becoming the first-day box office champion.
The winner has been decided, and "The Undertaker" has also been sentenced to death.
