China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 436 Just treat it as a dream and don’t be scared when you wake up!

Sun Honglei quickly understood what Guan Ling meant.

On the first day of its release, "Warring States" earned 1600 million at the box office, becoming the box office champion of the day.

In the later period of "Painted Skin 2", there were several movies in the theaters that had good box office results on the first day, but they all declined. After April 4, the entire theater experienced an extreme box office low. All theaters were extremely anxious and urgently needed blockbusters to save the day.

"Warring States" was given the task at the critical moment and it made the film market, which had been in a slump, become hot again.

However, although the box office results were good, starting from the second day, the extreme performance of this movie quickly attracted heated discussions among netizens.

Many people claim that this movie subverts history, and that Sun Honglei and Wu Zhenyu are suspected of having a Brokeback Mountain plot.

This put the entire movie at the forefront of public opinion.

The film critics' sharp tongues almost sentenced the film to death.

"The biggest fraud and shoddy costume drama in the Chinese entertainment and film industry, with a star-studded cast + overwhelming and shameless publicity + a costume epic action masterpiece, it has dominated the theaters and the box office, and the audience is suffering!"

“I don’t know if Sun Honglei has the courage to watch the finished film. Maybe this is a movie he won’t want to mention for a long time in the future!”

"The only impression the whole movie gave me was that Jingtian's godfather is really capable."

“Although only four months have passed in 2011, I think I may have seen the worst blockbuster of 2011!”

"The distributor should define the genre of this movie as a spoof comedy. Eight people in my cinema left in anger!"

"Can you use your brain before filming? Sun Bin dug his fucking knees to be called Sun Bin. Do you think this is his birth name? WTF!"

"For the sake of the future of Chinese cinema, this bad movie should be rated one star and nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

"Who gave you the courage to package a third-rate costume comedy into a historical blockbuster?"

"I usually don't comment on any movies. I can tolerate almost any movie, but I can't bear this one. I can't hide my anger by going silent. Sun Honglei, you are sorry to Yu Zecheng. You betrayed the country! Are you happy that you only care about money?"

There are also professional film critics who are extremely critical and distressed about the content of "Warring States".

"In Chinese history, the battle of wits between Sun and Pang is the most exciting story of two heroes in the Warring States Period.
Here, there is not only a contest of men's minds, but also a questioning of will and humanity.

In fact, think carefully about what the audience expects to see in this movie.
Everyone knows it.

However, what "Warring States" brings to us is that the wise sage-like characters are completely devoid of wisdom, and the "wise but foolish" becomes the "wise but stupid".

Sun Bin is not Forrest Gump. No matter how his personal charm is reduced, he can never be suppressed by an unknown heroine.

With the ending of cutting the feet to fit the shoes, this movie will definitely be bright soon and die thoroughly.

In my opinion, Miss Jingtian's eighteen martial arts cannot compare to one toe of Sun Bin.

The so-called war blockbuster used classic plots that are well-known to everyone and that students have learned since childhood, but it lacked the sincerity of the creation for the audience.

He acted crazy and stupid, and his deeds are too numerous to mention.

The crew and creators of "Warring States", you should apologize to the historical figures and the national audience!
Whether it is a serious or humorous story, we must have basic respect and awe for history!
Women's foot washing water should not be drunk as Melatonin. A bad reputation will turn your box office performance into a pool of sewage."

Well-known writer Han Han went to the cinema to watch this movie, and then couldn't help but comment that the high cost of this movie and the high pay for the actors are actually compensation for the actors' mental damage. He also commented that "Warring States" is the epitome of all negative examples in the filming of a movie, and it can be called a fighter among bad movies!
……

"Director Guan, I don't understand."

Sun Honglei awkwardly called Guan Ling and said, "I watched the finished film at the premiere, and I didn't think it was that bad..."

The online abuse during this period has made him mentally unstable.

Sun Honglei himself was completely dumbfounded.

After much thought, he decided to call Guan Ling.

Guan Ling asked him to eat something good at that time.
Now it seems that Director Guan had many things left unsaid.

"I remember you were interviewed before the premiere and said that this script was like a ray of light that shone into your heart." Guan Ling asked with a smile, "Is the pay like the light?"

"Don't blame me, Director Guan. I read more than 30 scripts in a row at that time, and I felt that all of them were out of touch with reality and pretentious. And "Warring States" is the best one among them. I thought the theme of this film is people, rather than treating people as props. I sincerely hope to make a movie that can move the audience." Sun Honglei also felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.

Guan Ling said: "Then there is nothing we can do. We can only say that you have poor vision."

"Does Director Guan have any suggestions now? What should I do?"

"Keep silent, just think of it as a dream."

Guan Ling smiled and said to Sun Honglei, "Although your reputation is a bit bad, the focus is not on you after all, but on Jing Tian. As long as you don't mention it, life will pass in a while."

Sun Honglei now really lives in Bengbu.

"Just treat it as a dream?"

Sun Honglei himself laughed, but every time he woke up in the middle of the night these days, he was very frightened.

Some of the movies shot by Sun Honglei before did not have high box office, but they had never been criticized like this. This time, the online popularity was really too high.

The most embarrassed person, of course, was Jingtian.

In the past few days, Jingtian had been dreaming of shooting a stunning action blockbuster that would shatter the entire film industry in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that he would create a big hole all of a sudden.

She starred in an all-star cast, but ended up becoming the target of nationwide criticism.

The number of people mocking Sun Honglei online is at least three times the number of people mocking her.

Whenever she thought of the bold words she made to Guan Ling at the premiere, she would have the confidence to star in Guan Ling's movie once the movie achieved high box office and good reputation.

Her face turned red.

So ashamed!
abstract!

Looking at the abusive film reviews and biting criticisms online, Jingtian felt cold all over.

Now Jingtian almost stopped accepting interviews, refused to leave the house, and pretended to be dead.

Only four or five days after the release of the film, the entire crew of "Warring States" pretended to be dead.

After grossing 60 million in its first week, the movie "Warring States" was completely socially dead, with its box office only growing by a few million per day.

The film market doesn’t dare to call it a costume epic anymore, because two more epic movies are about to be released.

"Never Gone" and "Guan Yunchang".

……

The promotion of these two films has entered the final sprint stage.

Just like Guan Ling.

Hang up the phone with Sun Honglei,
He patted Yang Mi's shoulder.

At this moment, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the prosperous night scene of the Magic City is in full view, and there are dazzling sights everywhere.

Yang Mi’s recent role has changed from a bad student who ranked at the bottom of the class to a good student who strives to improve himself.

Whether in the play or outside the play.

At this moment, her body was flawless. Looking at Guan Ling lying on his back, she picked up the hairband to tie up her hair that was about to fall, and lowered her head obediently.

“I want to improve so much and work so hard!”

Yang Mi pouted and looked at Jing Tian's ugly and unbridled madness.

"You can find an older godfather, isn't that not possible? I am still stronger. I can enjoy Guan Ling, the thief, because he is older. I can also enjoy the director, the thief, because he is stronger."
