Chapter 349 White water resists black water to protect itself?

Feng Xiaogang finally made up his mind after browsing a lot on the Internet.

"It will explode later."

Feng Xiaogang thought to himself, after all, the reputation was so good, it was better than the original "Earthquake". Everyone who watched it said it was bitter.

At this time, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi was also puzzled.

"The reputation is so good, why is the box office so low on the first day?"

Wang Zhonglei was thinking hard while looking at the latest data summary.

"Intensify publicity and use word-of-mouth promotion. Xiaogang's movie is probably a bit like Li Bian's "Pi". It starts low and goes high."

Wang Zhongjun said lightly that he also had high hopes for this movie, hoping that it could replicate the box office of "The Great Earthquake", or even be higher.

"Should we go see 1942?"

Li Mu asked in the villa. He knew that this little girl liked to watch these types of movies.

"I won't go. It's too painful. I'm afraid I can't help but cry from beginning to end."

Liu Yifei shook her head quickly, a little scared, as if she remembered the scene in the book "1942", and her heart trembled a little.

Then I looked at the current reviews of the two movies online and couldn't help but say: "Lu Xun's "The King's Feast" seems to have all negative reviews."

"Let me take a look."

Li Mu smiled, the negative comments from netizens were the most interesting.

Clicking on the "King's Feast" page on Douban.com, most of the short comments on the homepage are dissatisfied comments from netizens.

"A love triangle caused by a glutinous rice chicken"

"There used to be a movie called The King's Man, which told the story of the King and one man. This one tells the story of the King and four men, so it's called The King's Feast!"

"The whole plot of "The King's Feast" is intermittent and has no sense of coherence. I saw that the director wanted to talk about a lot of things, but he didn't talk about any of them well. Maybe it's because my IQ is too low. I really didn't know about such a big investment. To be able to make such a second-rate movie in such a long time..."

"The feeling after watching the whole movie is the feeling of 'finally~~over' in the last line of the movie. "The King's Feast" is obviously "Memoirs of Liu Bang", and Xiang Yu is completely Liu Bang and Han Xin's mistress 'Well, Liu Bang and Han Xin are the protagonists of the movie."

Although Daniel Wu, the creator of "A Feast for the King", deliberately released the news of his wife's pregnancy during the film's promotion period, Liu Ye was also very helpful in promoting the engagement with Daniel Wu.

But this cannot affect the overwhelming negative reviews of "The King's Feast".

The box office of 830 million on the first day made Xingmei's Tan Hong a little overwhelmed. This is a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions.

Lu Xun was even more irritable. When he saw that the ratings on Time.com and Douban were both lower than 6, negative reviews were generated crazily, and he directly posted his aggrieved words on Weibo.

"I especially want to be like Director Feng. I want to proudly repost one or two words to praise me for being particularly good, but I dare not. The netizens scolded me too much. We have encountered 'black water' and we have encountered the Internet's 'trolls'." "attack on purpose."

However, netizens did not buy it.

"Really or not, I think what they said is very fair."

"As someone who has watched the movie, I can tell you that this is not a troll at all."

Lu Xun battled with netizens all night, and those who criticized the movie were rated as "black water".

What about the netizens who say they can’t understand?

Lu Xun had his own explanation. Audiences criticized the modern dialogues for being funny, so he took it in stride: "The film is very dark, and it is good to make everyone laugh, no matter where it is. I will make more laughs when filming next time, and let people laugh a little bit." The audience is a little more relaxed.”

The audience was dissatisfied with Queen Lu's transformation from a poisonous woman to a resentful woman, and he supported her: "Lü Pheasant is a representative of great Chinese women. She abandoned her family and career to be a husband, but she did not get the warmth of love, and her heart gradually became cold."

I have to say that Lu Xun worked hard for the box office.

After chatting with netizens, he directly called Qin Hong from Xingmei.

"Mr. Qin, I suggest that the publicity personnel do the 'white water'. Now some people are maliciously slandering "The King's Feast". If this continues,"

Lu Xun firmly believes that "Black Water" is to blame for its poor reputation and low ratings, as well as its box office.

"If the trolls on the Internet can take a break, our box office will be better." Lu Xun vowed.

Qin Hong had no choice but to ask the publicity staff to hire "white water" to clean the floor.

"Are you ready for the premiere of "囧囧"?"

Li Mu asked his secretary Lu Yu that this battle was a key battle for gambling.

"It's all ready. I've confirmed again and again that there won't be any equipment or other problems."

Lu Yu said confidently.

"it is good."

Li Mu nodded slightly. The battle for the Lunar New Year season has already begun. Obviously, both "The King's Feast" and "1942" are not ideal. One has a bad reputation and a poor box office, while the other has a good reputation and an average box office.

Let the industry shout that this year's Lunar New Year stalls are extremely unsatisfactory.

Feng Xiaogang originally thought that the box office would surge in the next few days, but unexpectedly, it exceeded 3000 million the next day, and it was still tepid.

As for the slogan of breaking 1942 million in a single day that was shouted before, it seems to be far away now. On the contrary, Li Bian's "Life of Pi" remains a hot topic, and its box office performance is getting better and better, and its daily box office has surpassed "".

"Why? Why exactly?"

Feng Xiaogang was puzzled. The reputation was getting better and better, but the box office did not rise. This trend was not in line with scientific laws.

This movie cost 2.1 million yuan to shoot. According to this trend, let alone repaying the money, it would be good if it could not lose half of the money.

"This year's Lunar New Year season is in danger, and "1942" and "The King's Feast" are not as good as expected."

The industry is in a state of despair. This year, the Lunar New Year film was in the final stages of production, but it seems that both movies fell into disrepair.

"The last barrier for the Lunar New Year is the premiere of Mengying Media's "囧" on December 12. The film will be officially released on December 10, and the media preview has received rave reviews."

"Ah Mu, why do you think "1942" has such a good reputation and such a low box office?" Liu Yifei asked.

In fact, this is also a question in the industry. Huayi even sent investigators to the theater to investigate to see if anyone had done anything.

"The reputation is so good, then why don't you go see it?" Li Mu asked with a smile.

"Isn't it because I'm in too much pain?"

Liu Yifei pouted.

"You are representing the audience now, so why should the audience go to see it? Whoever prepares for the Chinese New Year will make themselves uncomfortable."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Audiences often enjoy watching movies, so comedies are the most marketable. If you make such a painful movie at this time, the audience will be afraid."

At this moment, Feng Xiaogang seemed to know what was going on. The result of Huayi's investigation was that "the movie was too good, too painful, and I don't want to watch it."

This investigation made both Wang and Feng Xiaogang dumbfounded.

The photo is so good, I don’t want to see what’s going on.

"Let's play the tragedy card." Wang Zhongjun thought for a while and said calmly.

Although playing the tragedy card is a bit embarrassing, if this card is not played, Huayi's movie will probably suffer heavy losses.

at this time. A well-known film critic posted on Weibo: "At this moment, the fans of "The King's Feast" are frantically reviewing five and four stars on Douban. I wonder if "1942" has one."

As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion.

Under normal circumstances, when a movie is released, there will be so-called Internet mercenaries to protect, suppress or promote it. This is also an unspoken rule in the industry, but few are said explicitly.

Feng Xiaogang was already exploding like thunder, igniting at a moment's notice, and now someone else was leading the rhythm, and even came out to spray.

""1942" does not need any trolls to get good reviews. It is different from some films. I guarantee that "1942" does not need the so-called "word-of-mouth maintenance team."

Feng Xiaogang's words were like sending Lu Xun to be roasted on a torch.

Doesn't this clearly mean that "The King's Feast" hired a word-of-mouth maintenance team?

""The King's Feast" claims that it only wants to protect itself by using white water forces to fight against the black water forces. More than one team is hacking "The King's Feast". There are two or three teams attacking "The King's Feast" at the same time, and they are instigating behind the scenes. A person with strong financial resources and a determined attitude.”

"In "The King's Feast", we hired navy troops to increase our points. Lu Xun: Tooth for tooth, the 5 yuan I can pay is simply not possible to compete with the opponent. The hired 'maritime troops' are about to give up."

The "King's Feast" team published an article to prove that they did not maliciously gain positive reviews, but were just fighting against Black Water. However, this also proved that they did hire a navy army.

"Awesome, for a 500 million movie, only yuan is still too little. It is recommended to spend million, and you will find that all the reviews are positive."

"I've learned a lot about 'Black Water' and 'White Water'."

Currently, "A Feast for the King" only received over 4000 million at the box office in its first weekend, while "" and "Pi" grossed over million.

And Lu Xun was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

"The difference between Feng Xiaogang and Li Bian is at least more than 100 Lu Xun!" Lu Hei thought for a moment and said, "Then Feng Xiaogang and Li Bian are not much different."

The joke on Weibo has completely gone viral.

"No, I'm laughing so hard."

Liu Yifei laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears.

Li Mu was also amused. The first sentence was okay, but the second sentence, "Then Feng Xiaogang and Li Bian are about the same" hit his point of laughter.

But this sentence was like a virus, and the entire Internet knew about it.

Feng Xiaogang was also happy when he saw this sentence, and said humbly: "Everyone, don't say that."

However, when asked by Silt Media about the gap between him and Li Bian, it is obvious that he also acquiesced in the evaluation of netizens: Feng Xiaogang and Li Bian are almost the same.

But it was Lu Xun who was injured.

Lu Xun has not responded directly to the online questioning, but his father, the famous screenwriter Lu Tianming, started a war of words with netizens on Weibo, "eager to protect his son", and netizens debated fiercely.

"Someone plotted to kill a group of young filmmakers before the movie was released. Before the movie was released, a group of people started making bricks."

"They must kill all these young filmmakers before they can get rid of their hatred."

Regarding the question raised by netizens about protecting his son, Lu Tianming directly refuted: "It seems that people like you have a problem with your mind. If you are beaten, what attitude will your father take? Go back and ask your father."
