China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 465: Summer blockbuster hits, the industry is silent! Who can touch the fierce Hollywood?

[After revision, 4,800 words!!]

"Written by Guan Ling, directed by Yang Qing, and starring Liu Sisi, I Am a Witness grossed nearly 3000 million on the first day. After the million box office of Night Club, Yang Qing's entry into the Ling's million club is a foregone conclusion."

"Liu Sisi's acting skills have reached a new peak? She plays the role of a blind person like a duck in water, as if she is really blind!"

“Don’t trust or date strangers easily! The man you meet through WeChat Shake may imprison you in the basement and never see the light of day again!”

"Remember to lock the door!"

"A sincere work that makes the audience mistakenly think it is a bad movie! The first answer sheet submitted by TV actor Liu Sisi seems to be doing well!"

"This is a fast-paced masterpiece that makes people feel nervous and excited. The progress of domestic mystery and suspense films has made great progress after "Suspect X"."

"A very good-looking movie. Yang Qing switched from comedy to suspense, and it turned out to be quite good!"

Along with the film reviews on the Internet the next day, "I Am a Witness" became a little popular.

In fact, this drama is not a big project for Guan Ling.

He just happened to be in Beijing, so he came to the platform and met Liu Sisi.

Apart from this, there are not many psychological fluctuations.

But for some actors involved in this drama and in the industry.

The performance of this drama gave everyone a loud slap in the face.

Although everyone pays attention to this play,
After all, it is a movie written by Guan Ling.

But considering that "The Founding of a Chinese Empire" is the follow-up and there are other major Hollywood blockbusters before it, people's expectations for this movie are estimated to be just over 100 million yuan.

But the first day box office is enough to show the appeal of Guan Ling, Liu Sisi and others.

Many people think that this movie will completely linger in the midst of a series of blockbusters and become cannon fodder.

His eyes were full of shock.

"Hey, why are these people still swearing?"

In the hotel room, Liu Sisi rested her head on Guan Ling's arm, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Liu Sisi was a little annoyed and hummed softly.

"Who scolded you?"

Guan Ling was a little curious.

"Look, these people are clearly insulting me, but they are pretending to praise me. It's really infuriating."

She was really angry, her voice was up and down, and Guan Ling comforted her again to calm her down for a while.

I turned around and read the reviews online.

Guan Ling now understood why Liu Sisi was so angry.

"With a sluggish look in her eyes and a stiff neck, Liu Sisi has been away for half her life, but when she returns, she still acts like a 'blind person'!"

"When playing TV roles before, Liu Sisi had a hollow look in her eyes, Yang Mi performed seductively, and Mu Tingting performed agilely. Only Liu Sisi had the worst acting skills. She was often absent-minded and basically not immersed in the role. Her eyes were usually empty and staring straight ahead, with no expression on her face, which made people feel that she was even more calm inside. It was the same this time, but she deserves praise."

The words were depressing at first but ended up being encouraging, but Guan Ling knew that they were even more unpleasant than cursing.

Because in this play, Liu Sisi originally played a blind person!
To say that she deserves praise is just to say that her eyes are still empty and she hasn't changed!
Master!

This is indeed a master.

Guan Ling held back his laughter.

There are many actresses, many of whom are beautiful and have vivid acting skills, but Liu Sisi has been criticized for having a dull look in her eyes. This was also Guan Ling's original intention in choosing her to star in this movie. Unexpectedly, there were still experts among the audience. It has only been one day since the movie was released, and they have found a sense of destiny that matches Liu Sisi with this role.

Keep reading, this comment is really harsh.

"It's a good movie, but it's a little hard on the eyes."

"Liu Sisi probably entered her comfort zone in this drama. I feel this drama will allow her to be directly nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress!"

“She is the best blind actress, her dull speech acting, empty eyes, no emotions, and twitching nose make her blind character deafening.

This is mainly because of Liu Sisi's eye level. Let's take a closer look at the scientific analysis:
First of all, her eyes have a flaw. Her eye sockets are small, but her pupils are big and black (I don't know if she wears black contact lenses).
When viewed from a distance like this, the eyes look like black holes. It is difficult to see even the pupils, let alone the spirit in the eyes. It would be strange if the person is blind.

Moreover, Liu Sisi's face is quite pretty, so directors and cameramen usually give her close-ups of her face, and she often speaks a whole sentence without blinking. So the fact that Director Guan chose her to play this role this time proves one thing: Director Guan is the best casting director in China, no doubt about it!

There are tens of thousands of actresses in the entertainment industry, but Liu Sisi must be the blind man's first choice!"

Guan Ling glanced at Liu Sisi, whose face was already red.

This is red and warm.

“Don’t look at these things.”

Guan Ling turned off the news, then hugged Liu Sisi from behind and gently squeezed her back.

"We are all the entertainment of netizens. Didn't someone accuse me of plagiarism before? I was scolded by a bunch of domestic haters who followed suit."

Liu Sisi turned her head, buried it in Guan Ling's arms, and nodded softly in response.

The face that was originally smiling now looked a little stiff.

"I thought this drama would make me famous, but I didn't expect people to start mocking me instead."

"The ridicule is not scary, the lack of popularity is scary." Guan Ling said, "At least people don't have an absolutely negative review of this drama. As for your acting skills, you can improve them in the future. On the contrary, your popularity, coupled with your improvement in the subsequent broadcasts of your dramas, will make you realize how useful this wave of popularity is to you."

Guan Ling was silent for a moment. "You don't attract audiences who like to watch acting. It's okay as long as you're just okay."

Although this was a bit hurtful, Guan Ling still said it.

On the contrary, Liu Sisi calmed down and said, "You are right, I will listen to you. I attract young audiences or genre audiences, and they really don't care that much about my acting skills."

"Do you all listen to me?"

"Correct."

"Lift your butt up!"

……

While the movie was being broadcast, Guan Ling and Liu Sisi kept applauding the film's success.

The industry was also shocked by this achievement.

On the second day, the box office revenue reached over 30 million.

On the third day, "The Founding of a Party" was released with a sensation, and its screening schedule occupied most theaters across the country. But even so, the third-day box office of "I Am a Witness" reached 2109 million!
The first-day box office of "The Founding of a Party" only reached 2768 million!
This movie, which claimed to have grossed 800 million yuan at the box office and caused a sensation on the entire Internet just by its publicity, had mediocre box office on the first day, even worse than the first day box office of "I Am a Witness".

This result is simply a bloodbath!
The entertainment industry was shocked!
"Yesterday at midnight, the large-scale tribute film "The Founding of a Party" for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China was officially released nationwide. However, as soon as it was released, netizens on Douban gave it the lowest score, and 80% of the audience claimed to come to the theater to count the stars!"

"Is the blockbuster "Counting Stars" not as good as Guan Ling? "The Founding of a Party" had a mediocre box office performance on the first day!"

"Guan Ling's low-budget movies have a strong appeal, but The Founding of a Party has not yet entered the rhythm. It will not enter the rhythm of large-scale private screenings until the end of June or early July. That is when the real battle will begin."

"The box office of the premiere of "The Founding of a Party" did not meet expectations, and most of the audience were young people!"

"The box office of I Am Witness reached nearly 80 million in the first three days of the weekend. Yang Qing may enter the club of directors who have made 100 million yuan tomorrow!"

"The Founding of a Party" has about 60% of the total screenings in the cinema, but since the number of viewers is average on weekdays, whether the box office will experience a 'blowout' may only be known on the weekend!"

Although there are still some people in the creative team of "The Founding of a Party" who are stubborn.

But the industry has been shocked by the contrast between the two films.

No one would have thought that a low-budget movie made by Guan Ling could have such a high box office, even surpassing the tribute films promoted by the entire network.

The most important thing is that Guan Ling had previously filmed a tribute film, which grossed over 1 billion yuan at the box office.

No one understands this kind of gap!

However, many production companies in the industry are still relatively objective. Compared with "Never Gone", "The Founding of a Party" has a grand narrative and is full of positive energy, but as far as the film itself is concerned, it is particularly like a "mixed first-class pot", which sounds good, but is a big hodgepodge when it is done badly. There are many big dishes to go through the motions, and the historical plot must be explained clearly. It is completely a "first-class pot" that is not cooked enough!
The scattered plot and complicated narrative became symbols of the failure of this film.

As time came to June 6th, as expected, "The Founding of a Party" continued to rise steadily at the box office with overwhelming momentum, and its deterrent power was quite strong.

However, "I Am a Witness" suffered from the oppression and its box office fell a little on the fourth day, failing to break 100 million.

Although Douban was unable to comment, its scoring mechanism collapsed within two days, with nearly 4.8% of the ratings being one-star, causing the score to plummet to 10 out of .

Faced with the overwhelming number of low scores from netizens, Douban changed the movie page to: This movie has no ratings or reviews. It cannot be recommended, and cannot be watched or seen.

At the same time, the rating mechanism of Time.com and other major media outlets was mostly borrowed. After only two days of release, "The Founding of a Party" achieved a record that was impossible to rate after watching it!

Say goodbye to word-of-mouth marketing completely.

Some people who want to watch a movie have no way to search for movie reviews and can only go to the theater to try the movie themselves.

For a moment, all the previous noise on the Internet became a little calmer.

……

"I Am a Witness" finally broke the 1.12 million yuan mark on the fifth day, with the box office reaching million yuan, and the growth rate showed a significant decline.

Although it has a good reputation, it is not an absolute blockbuster, nor is it an absolute symbol of a good film under Guan Ling. Although the box office has declined slightly, the overall box office is still rising steadily.

But compared to this low-cost movie, this box office result has indeed earned back the box office revenue very early on.

Yang Qing made a special phone call to express his gratitude, and Guan Ling encouraged him to continue filming well and strive to get "Hot Pot Heroes" released as soon as possible.

Guan Ling was very calm, but the entire China Film Group fell silent after seeing the performance of the two films.

Han Sanpin recalled the words he had spoken to Guan Ling before, which he had said shamelessly to temporarily withdraw "I Am a Witness" from the schedule to avoid accidental injuries. Thinking of this, he felt his face turn red and hot.

He was sitting in the office, looking unhappy.

This summer blockbuster, which was highly anticipated and might have competed with many imported Hollywood blockbusters, was completely forgotten after only three days of release.

Although it is still the strongest movie in this period.

But compared to "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", the results are already poor.

Even for "I Am a Witness", it got off to a bad start.

Although it has been raining in many parts of the country recently, and the traffic problem has affected many box office-intensive cities, Han Sanpin can feel that the industry's evaluation of this movie is not high. Although the previous box office of 800 million was not shouted out by him, it was also a loud slap in the face for him.

The number of screenings of "The Founding of a Party" has increased, but the box office has decreased. It is not as good as last year's "The Founding of a Republic". Various factors have combined to make this movie a decline.

But the most important issue has been revealed in three days.

——Aesthetic fatigue and lack of reputation!

Putting aside the gimmick of "counting stars", although the whole movie will bring sporadic touches to people, as some viewers said, it is better to immerse yourself in the book than to spend money to read a diary!
……

"I booked a private screening of Sisi's movie today. It's a great movie. Come on!"

On Weibo, Yang Mi sent out news about her own private screening, maintaining her own popularity while also cheering for Liu Sisi.

But after congratulating Liu Sisi on her achievement, Yang Mi's eyes turned slightly cold.

Last time, she saw Director Guan and Yin Tao’s fighting skills in the house.

Seeing Liu Sisi entering the film industry with the help of "I Am a Witness", and the box office exceeding 100 million in five days and still steadily improving, she inexplicably felt a sense of urgency in her heart.

Today, the production of "Palace" has been completed and is ready to be released at any time.

The promotion of "Far Cry" has entered its final rhythm.

Although "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is still in production, it should be around the fourth quarter of this year.

What’s more, there is “Hot Girls” which was shot by Director Guan himself!
For her, there are a lot of movies to be released.

But she was still nervous.

Although they are good girlfriends, there still has to be a hierarchy. Even when they are together with Director Guan, there still has to be a hierarchy of who is on top and who is on the bottom, who is on the left and who is on the right, who is the older sister and who is the younger sister.

Of course Yang Mi didn't want to be the lower one.

This made her spirit a little tense.

After sending a text message to Director Guan, Yang Mi's face turned red.

"Honey, isn't it time for Palace to be released?"

Then she sat in the cinema and read the comments online!

When she saw someone commenting on the blindness of Liu Sisi, she couldn't help but laugh.

Snapped!
Yang Mi patted her face.

"Don't laugh! This is a good friend!"

Yang Mi whispered, "Best friends can't live a hard life, but they can't live a hard life either. How can I smile when someone makes my best friend feel upset?"

She said to herself, "Take away your smile!"

After saying this, he still couldn't close his grinning mouth.

Yang Mi laughed out loud.

"No, these netizens are too funny, I just can't hold it back!"

……

For the whole month of June, "The Founding of a Party" failed to live up to its propaganda, covering everything and killing everyone.

On the contrary, the movie had just been released but it had already won the hearts of people as young as three years old, silencing the critics and keeping the audience quiet.

After the initial wave of popularity, the box office of "I Am a Witness" was unable to withstand the subsequent mediocre reviews of the film. After all, it is not an absolutely powerful blockbuster, and the steady decline in the box office growth rate is normal.

As an art film, "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" was invested with more than 6 million yuan, which is more than many domestic blockbusters. It was released on June 24th. The opportunity was good at this time. Panda Pirates had been released for almost a month, the box office of "The Founding of a Party" was not good, and "I Am Witness" also started to grow slowly, but in the end the box office on the first day and the first week was completely dismal. After one week of release, it only took in million box office.

There were not many people participating in the Shanghai Film Festival this year, making it seem a bit empty.

The entertainment industry has fallen into a strange calm.

Netizens are all shouting that in order to see "Transformers 3" released, they should go watch "The Founding of a Party", but they are just lip service and no one is spending real money to go to the cinema to support it.

Many people are waiting to see the producers make a fool of themselves.

Guan Ling was in the United States, and he spent almost a month in Shanghai.

Some of "Aquaman", "Scarlet Witch", "Baby Girl" and "The Wind Rises" have been completed, and some are very fast.

Guan Ling also became quiet and even stopped dating women.

Regain your energy and wait for the day ahead.

Liu Yifei's casting for "Extreme Job" finally caused a sensation on the entire Internet.

These movies currently in theaters continue to impress the industry.

When "Pirates of the Caribbean" was taken off the screen, the box office reached 5.7 million!
"Kung Fu Panda 2" has a crushing momentum. After one month of release, the box office has exceeded million yuan, which can be regarded as a realization of the boasting of the creators of the domestic blockbuster.

The final box office of "The Founding of a Party" was fixed at 4.3 million yuan, and this was even more unexpected due to the subsequent private screenings.

"I Am a Witness" finally achieved a box office of 2.4 million.

so so.

But with many movies such as "Wu Xia", "Transformers 4", "Far Cry" and so on about to be released, the industry is somewhat silent.

"Kung Fu Panda 2 and Pirates of the Caribbean are both so powerful. With the even more powerful Transformers 3 coming out soon, who can touch the power of Hollywood? Who can touch it? Who dares to touch it?"
