This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

"Death on Earth" earned 7 billion yuan in box office during the seven days of the National Day holiday. If the box office from the preview is included, the total box office will exceed 24.6 billion yuan.

In other words, everyone at that time said that it would be difficult for "Death on Earth" to make over 100 million yuan at the box office.

After all, during the pre-sale, "Dead on Earth" only had 800 million, and countless people mocked "Dead on Earth" at that time.

Everyone thought that "Death on Earth" was a sure flop.

Even Guo Hai, Ouyang Lei, their fans were so proud, and even mocked Lin Xing, "Where is your popularity among the public?"
As for Guo Hai's fans, they said: "This "Shan Hai" is directed by Master Guo, plus it has such a strong cast, the pre-sale has exceeded 4 million. As long as passers-by enter the market, 40 billion is at least guaranteed."

As for Qi Ning, he had similar thoughts, and what Qi Ning actually wanted was for "The Undertaker" to break 40 billion.

Because for him, this movie has Ouyang Qing's support, and several screenwriters are working together to polish the script, and even the filming is the biggest investment.

Let’s put it this way, the production cost of the entire movie is more than three times that of “Going to Heaven”.

Under such circumstances, it is not too much to say that this movie has a guaranteed box office of 40 billion.

As a result, who would have thought that the single-day box office of "Shan Hai" would drop so quickly, and that "The Funeral Director" has already fallen to zero.

The box office on the first day of the National Day holiday was 1.8 million yuan, but on the second day it was only 5000 million yuan.

As for the third day, only 1500 million were left.

On the fourth day, "The Undertaker" only had 500 million.

The total revenue for the next three days was only 500 million.

That is to say, during the 7-day National Day holiday, the total box office of "The Undertaker" was only 2.55 million yuan.

The current box office forecast for "The Undertaker" is 2.8 million.

The original prediction for the box office of this movie was a minimum of 20 billion yuan. However, Qi Ning thought that the prediction was too low at that time. If it didn't reach 30 billion yuan, he might as well quit the entertainment industry.

As a result, there was not even 30 million, let alone 3 billion.

This box office is really a loss for everyone, because the production cost of "The Undertaker" has not been disclosed to the public yet, but the cost + publicity and promotion will not be less than 2 million.

Not to mention that the word of mouth for this movie is pretty bad.

When a movie fails to this extent, it is hard to blame the actors for the failure, because the director must be fully responsible.

There is also the issue of the screenwriter. The screenwriter of "The Undertaker" is also Qi Ning.

Even if you want to pass the buck, you can't.

After all, you are the director and screenwriter, and the leading actor of this movie is Ouyang Qing’s son Ouyang Lei. How can you get rid of him?
In short, "The Undertaker" is a bit anxious at the moment.

Apart from "The Funeral Director", "Shan Hai" may be slightly better, but currently the single-day box office in the last few days is only around 2000 million.

At the same time, the box office forecast for "Shan Hai" has dropped to 9 million.

This has also become the greatest fun.

When the pre-sale box office of a movie exceeded 4 million and reached 5.2 million on the first day, the total box office did not even break 10 billion.

How fucking rubbish is this?

The most important thing is that "Shan Hai" has been scheduled for screening for 5 days before the National Day holiday, otherwise its box office will be rubbish.

The reputation that Master Guo had worked so hard to build up through his previous films has dropped a lot again.

Lao Zhong had talked about Master Guo before. She thought Master Guo should continue to do script-killing films because he is no longer suitable for big productions.

Didn’t your previous big productions fail? ?

But after all, the reputation of the previous films was very good, and the box office of this one was also quite good, so investors were naturally willing to let Master Guo make the effort.

Look at how big the investment is for "Shan Hai" this time, and several major investors have said that there is no investment limit.

Anyway, just let Master Guo do his best.

So it turned out like this.

When the pre-sale directly broke the record, many people said that "Shan Hai" had the potential to become the first domestic movie to earn 70 billion yuan in box office.

You should know that there is only one movie that has grossed 60 billion yuan, which is the champion in Chinese film history, but there has never been one that has grossed 70 billion yuan.

That's exactly why everyone thinks that "Shan Hai" might set a record in film history.

The result is now embarrassing.

What kind of record in film history is this? No, it is a record in film history, with the highest pre-sale but the worst final box office.

After all, it can’t even reach 10 billion, half of it was pre-sold and half was finally released.

This is even after paying for guaranteed screenings.

But if you look at "Dead on Earth", there was basically no money spent on buying screening time. Not only that, the screening time was not even increased.

But even so, "Dead on Earth" began to rebound strongly. If this is not awesome, who else can be awesome?

"The box office of Death on Earth has been declining throughout the National Day holiday. I even think that if the film had been released earlier, the box office of this movie could have exceeded 6 million yuan."

"That's right. The screening schedule was announced in the last two days. By then, many people had already returned home, so there was no time to watch a movie."

"Anyway, the fact that Death on Earth has reversed its decline for seven consecutive days is really impressive. At present, it is easy for this movie to break 7 billion."

"It's really funny to think about it. Before, everyone thought that Death on Earth would be a flop and wouldn't even make 1 million."

……

The National Day holiday season has now ended, and no one in the industry expected the box office performance of "Death on Earth."

Especially for this movie, Lin Xing actually thought about attracting some investment, but no one was willing to invest.

And out of fear of failure, Lin Xing did not let Xin Hui invest, because he was afraid that Xin Hui would lose money.

To be honest, Lin Xing is a little overwhelmed by the current box office.

Not only him, Wang Ruoan was also numb.

When Wang Ruoan wanted to take on "Death on Earth", his agent actually did not persuade him to do it. Not only his agent, but also his friends around him did not persuade him to do it.

In short, everyone thinks that "Death on Earth" is a bad movie. Why did Wang Ruoan take it? ?
However, after reading the script, Wang Ruoan immediately agreed to take the role.

It doesn’t matter if the pay is not enough.

He thought the script was very good.

"Actually, I really didn't think that Death on Earth would have such a high box office. I thought at the time that as long as everyone liked it, it would be fine." Wang Ruoan said with a smile during the roadshow today, "But I really didn't expect the box office of this movie to be so high. At the time, I thought Lin Xing was fooling me. He said, Brother An, don't you want to act in a movie that can go down in film history? Don't you want to act in a science fiction movie that can make over 30 billion at the box office?"

At this point, Wang Ruoan turned to Lin Xing and asked, "Ah Xing, I really want to ask you, did you really think that Death on Earth could break 30 billion?"

"How can it be??"

Lin Xing said without thinking: "I was just fooling you. I actually thought that the first part of Death on Earth might flop, but as long as it's a small flop it's a victory, because I know that Chinese audiences are the best. However, science fiction movies have disappointed the audience too many times in recent years, so I know it's normal for the audience not to believe in a science fiction movie..."

This is what Lin Xing really thinks.

He wanted to use the first "Death on Earth" to open up the market and let the Chinese audience see that someone is making science fiction movies with heart.

"But I still underestimated the enthusiasm of the audience. I didn't expect the audience to be so enthusiastic about watching the movie."

Lin Xing also expressed his gratitude to the audience at the roadshow.

"No, we should say thank you. We who like science fiction movies have waited for too many years. We always thought that there might not be any good science fiction movies in a few years, but we didn't expect that you, Lin Xing, could make such a good movie, which is not inferior to, no, it is much better than Hollywood movies..."

The audience at the scene said.

"No, you are wrong. This film Death on Earth was not shot by me. It was shot by Director Sun Feng."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Director Sun often only slept three or four hours a day on the set. He really likes science fiction movies, and many scenes in this movie were shot by Director Sun and his crew..."

Sun Feng on the side said hurriedly: "No, I think the audience is right. This movie would not have been possible without Lin Xing. I would also like to thank Teacher Lin Xing..."

"No need to thank me, just don't give up on the next four movies."

Lin Xing laughed and said, "If you run away, our project will be ruined."

"No, of course I won't quit. I'm worried about being fired."

Sun Feng said jokingly.

How do you say that?
Winning is good.

Because as long as you win, everything you say is the truth, and everyone will be very happy.

Just like today, it is the first working day after the National Day holiday, and the roadshow is actually also a celebration party.

Because Wang Ruoan will be joining another crew next, his role in "Death on Earth" has come to an end, and he will come back when the next filming is needed.

Others continued to participate in the roadshow.

Yang Tian also participated in the roadshow.

Although Yang Tian did not have many roles in "Death on Earth", he will still have roles later.

It was just like that, Yang Tian once again displayed the spirit of a desperate woman and followed the roadshow throughout the whole process.

In Yang Tian's words, she now had to hold Lin Xing's thighs tightly.

Apart from Yang Tian, ​​the most excited or excited person should be Chen Ning.

At present, Chen Ning has quite a few roles in "Death on Earth", and Lin Xing has given Chen Ning quite a few highlights.

Chen Ning's image as a female fighter has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The most important thing is that Chen Ning is the leading actress in "Death on Earth", and the box office of the leading actress is over 30 billion.

This is extremely impressive in the entire film industry.

At the scene, Chen Ning was also very grateful to Lin Xing. She felt that without Lin Xing, she might never be able to make such a good movie in her life, especially as the leading female role.

Of course, Chen Ning also thanked Lin Xing on the spot for allowing her to continue performing in "Charlotte's Troubles".

However, Chen Ning's transformation in "Charlotte's Troubles" is quite big.

"Can't spoil it."

Chen Ning wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Xing.

"If you continue to spoil the story, you will be fined."

Lin Xing's smiling words made Chen Ning stop talking. At the same time, Lin Xing also said on the spot: "Actually, I think I should thank everyone. If it weren't for everyone's joint efforts, how could we have created such a miracle?"

Next, in the afternoon, Movie Princess Six interviewed Lin Xing again.

This time it’s an exclusive interview.

Because all major official media outlets are at work today, all of them have spoken highly of Death on Earth.

In the past, our culture was always invaded by Hollywood, but now, everyone can finally see a science fiction movie with an oriental narrative.

Not only that, People's Daily even published an article directly praising the movie "Death on Earth".

"First, it said that this is a milestone in science fiction films. At the same time, it breaks away from the "escape from the earth" paradigm of Western science fiction and creates an original Eastern narrative of "wandering with the earth." This setting is rooted in the Chinese civilization's "rooted" sentiment of home, and echoes the indomitable spiritual core of myths such as Yugong moving mountains and Jingwei filling the sea."

At the same time, official media reports also emphasized that whether it is the warmth of sacrificing for the family, the sonorous declaration of "In the face of crisis, only responsibility", or the collective heroism of "astronauts over 50 years old", they all demonstrate China's deep understanding of home, country, responsibility and inheritance.

……

The height of this official media station is naturally different.

Later, other official media also praised the film.

Everyone feels that this movie reflects the true Chinese patriotism, and that China is a responsible nation in the movie. Finally, everyone no longer has to watch the United States saving the earth and the world.

Even CCTV said: "Using heavy industrial aesthetics to write about oriental romance and using the spirit of collectivism to respond to the proposition of the times, let the world hear the echo of Chinese stories. In the future, we look forward to more such works, using science fiction as a boat to carry Chinese civilization to a wider sea of ​​stars."

Anyway, the official media reports are still quite clichéd, but they all praise "Death on Earth".

Today, the Sixth Princess also mentioned this in an interview. Why do we have to make such a science fiction movie?
"I think the times have changed. When we were young, we watched America saving the world. But with the growth of our national strength and national confidence, I think we can also tell our own stories. The original novel of Death on Earth is very good, and the core is very powerful, so we wanted to make such a movie together. Fortunately, we did not disappoint the audience."

The host continued to ask: "We all know that this National Day movie "Death on Earth" has achieved a miracle of seven consecutive days of reverse decline. So what do you think is the main reason for "Death on Earth" to achieve such a result?"

Lin Xing smiled and said: "I think it's mainly because the quality of the film is relatively solid, and the audience's requirements for the film are also high, so naturally they are willing to support our film..."

In a word, it all depends on the support of peers.

Of course, Lin Xing didn't say that, but the host then talked about the movie "The Undertaker".
