This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 355: Spring Festival, audience resentment
When Jiang Nan was told about the "concert in Gaza", the effect was immediate. She immediately stopped worrying about whether Wen Lian and Li Zhuo would come before or after her.

But she began to worry about Cheng Cheng's personal safety again.

Jiang Nan: "You are not allowed to go, do you hear me? That place is too dangerous."

Cheng Cheng said with a righteous look on his face:
"I am a person with ideals, so I must go this time. Celebrities should use their influence to do something meaningful for the world and the future of mankind. This is what I have always been pursuing."

Jiang Nan said anxiously: "But this is not your responsibility. You are not the only star in the world. Why do you want to take this responsibility on yourself?"

Cheng Cheng: "It is precisely because no one else is doing it that I want to do it."

As he spoke, Cheng Cheng hugged Jiang Nan tightly and sighed:
"Jiang Jiang, don't worry about me. I will protect myself."

"No." Jiang Nan shook his head. "If you insist on going, then I'll go with you!"

Cheng Cheng looked at her: "Really?"

Jiang Nan nodded seriously: "Really!"

Cheng Cheng: "Okay, then you will be the first to join!"

Only then did Jiang Nan feel satisfied.

Cheng Cheng just breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Nan tilted his head and suddenly asked, "So they were before me or after me?"

Cheng Cheng: “.”

He was serious for another second.

"If a bullet comes at me, I will block you without hesitation. If I die, the myth will be handed over to you. You help me run my company. This is the continuation of my spirit. In the safe in my office, there is a USB flash drive with my unpublished works, including movie and TV scripts, songs, novels, and some of my program plans. I hope you can make good use of them. Can you promise me?"

Jiang Nan was furious and punched Cheng Cheng on the shoulder with a fist:
"You just bully me! Can't I just stop asking? You are a bad guy. You know what to say to make me worry and distract me. You are so mean and shameless~"

Cheng Cheng's mouth curled up into a smile:
"But I know it works for you because you care about me, right?"

Jiang Nan pouted:
"In short, you have to treat me differently from them."

Cheng Cheng said seriously:
"definitely!"

Jiang Nan: "Humph! I forgive you for now, but I want to see how you perform."

Cheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief again. He knew that he had finally passed this level.

He deliberately created this Shura field. The reason he did this was because he was afraid that they would discover it one day, so it would be better for him to reveal it himself and keep things within a controllable range.

And Cheng Cheng has another unknown idea.

For example, Landlord, Upgrade, Golden Flower, Texas Hold'em and so on.

Cheng Cheng asked, "Then do you want to go out and chat with them?"

Jiang Nan shook his head and said firmly: "No! I'll cook with you here!"

Cheng Cheng: "Okay, that's okay."

Half an hour later, all the food was finally ready. Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan came out of the kitchen carrying the food. In the living room, Li Zhuo and Wen Lian were chatting animatedly. Seeing this, they also stood up and cleaned the table.

Soon, four people sat down around a table.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Cheng Cheng talked to Li Zhuo about his work plan for the next 24 years. Jiang Nan and Wen Lian also listened carefully.

When picking up the dishes, Cheng Cheng gave the best parts of the chicken and fish to Jiang Nan, and then winked at Li Zhuo and Wen Lian secretly. Jiang Nan didn't notice and even showed a smug expression to Li Zhuo and Wen Lian.

Wen Lian and Li Zhuo smiled but said nothing.

On the one hand, they are both older than Jiang Nan, and Jiang Nan's family is well-off, so they all treat her as a younger sister who grew up in a privileged family.

Secondly, Jiang Nan knew Cheng Cheng much earlier than them, and in terms of first come first served, Jiang Nan was the first to arrive.

Moreover, they understood Jiang Nan's possessiveness towards Cheng Cheng. They didn't have any exclusive thoughts about Cheng Cheng, so they didn't care. But Jiang Nan was different. Jiang Nan had always had that desire. Now that Jiang Nan could eat at the same table with them, he had already overcome a big hurdle.

At the dinner table, four people ate, chatted and watched the Spring Festival Gala. However, the Spring Festival Gala at this time and space was not very interesting.

However, many artists under the Shinhwa Company appeared on this year's Spring Festival Gala. For example, Jiang Jun and Zhang Zijie each performed a skit, and Wang Hong also made an appearance on the Spring Festival Gala.

After dinner, it was ten o'clock.

The atmosphere is a bit subtle.

Wen Lian and Li Zhuo looked at each other, and Li Zhuo said:

"Boss Cheng, it's getting late. I'm going to go back and rest first."

"Have you gone home?" Cheng Cheng glanced at Jiang Nan beside him. Seeing that Jiang Nan pretended to be casual but actually cared a lot, he said, "Okay, be careful."

Wen Lian also said:

"Director Cheng, I'm going back too."

Cheng Cheng said reluctantly, "Okay."

Li Zhuo and Wen Lian put on their clothes and left together.

Walking out of the door, Li Zhuo tilted his head and asked:
"How about you come over to my place tonight? We can have a drink and chat?"

Wen Lian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be alone when I go back anyway."

-

In the living room, Jiang Nan asked Cheng Cheng:
"Orange, let me ask you, did you not want them to leave just now?"

Cheng Cheng said sternly, "No way! Where can they sleep if they don't leave? One bed can't accommodate four people."

Jiang Nan pinched Cheng Cheng angrily:
"Okay, you still want to sleep four people in one bed?"

Cheng Cheng: “I never thought of this!”

Jiang Nan had a suspicious look in his eyes, obviously not believing it.

Afterwards, the two of them watched TV on the sofa for a while. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Jiang Nan was too sleepy to bear it anymore. She opened her arms and said, "Chengzi, carry me back to the room."

Cheng Cheng picked her up by the waist.

But she suddenly regretted it: "Go take a shower first~"

Cheng Cheng carried her to the bathroom again.

-

That night, Jiang Nan was particularly demanding. He tossed and turned until two in the morning before he fell into a deep sleep holding Cheng Cheng.

But she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, as if she had a nightmare, and kept shouting "Orange, don't go", "Orange, don't leave me". After waking up, she found Cheng Cheng next to her pillow. She stopped crying, kissed Cheng Cheng on the lips, and fell asleep again.

When you wake up in the morning, it's no longer morning.

Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan had a meal and then went to Jiang's house to pay New Year's greetings.

In the afternoon, the two went to see a movie.

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and a new round of Spring Festival movie wars has begun. This year's Spring Festival movie wars include Tang Ping's masterpiece "Haji's Dream", Ningshan's "Hip Coast", and Liu Weichi's "Deadly Rescue".

Shinhwa Company also has a movie coming out.

It was adapted from a movie that Cheng Cheng bought from the Cannes Film Festival. It’s called “K Mountain” and is a suspense film starring Qi Hao and Wang Hong.

In one afternoon, Cheng Cheng and Jiang Nan watched all the popular movies in the cinema, including "K Mountain".

Coming out of the cinema, Jiang Nan commented:

"Your K Mountain is still the best. I think it has at least 8 points. Qi Hao and Wang Hong both acted very well, and the plot is very attractive. The second is Ning Shan's Xihai's Coast, which has a score of 7.2, but there are not enough jokes. Many of them are old jokes on the Internet. I only laughed once after watching it for a long time. Haji's Dream is too mainstream, and it is about young people from ethnic minorities. It is a bit too deliberate. The worst is Lifeline, which is very assembly-line."

Cheng Cheng asked, "Who do you think has the highest box office?"

Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Of course it's your "K Mountain Range"!"

early morning.

The first day box office of the Spring Festival is released:
"Hi Coast", 3.8 million.

"Haji's Dream", 2.1 million.

"The Rush", 1.4 million.

"K Mountain", 0.9 million.

Among the four major films, "K Mountain" ranked last.

It's not that "K Mountain Range" is not good, but that Wang Hong and Qi Hao lack appeal. In addition, it is the Spring Festival period, and everyone likes to watch something family-friendly, light-hearted and funny. Although "K Mountain Range" is of good quality, it is too depressing throughout and is filled with long dialogues. If you are not careful, you will miss important information. Therefore, the box office performance is not strong.

Not nearly as good as the other three movies.

This is the weakness of the subject matter.

Moreover, the overall performance of this year's Spring Festival period was not strong.

Last year, the total box office on the first day of the Spring Festival was 11 billion, but this year it was only 9 million, a year-on-year decrease of 18%.

In fact, since the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the industry has been saying that the domestic film market is declining, and it can even be said that it is declining sharply, returning to the same period level five or six years ago. In December, "Resident Evil" came out, giving all practitioners hope, thinking that the decline of the film market is a false proposition. As a result, the Spring Festival period once again proved that "Resident Evil" was just a flash in the pan, and only this one movie could not save the decline of the film market.

The next few days.

Second grade:

"Hi Coast", 3.2 million.

"Haji's Dream", 1.9 million.

"The Rush", 1.2 million.

"K Mountain", 1.1 million.

Third grade:

"Hi Coast", 2.5 million.

"Haji's Dream", 1.5 million.

"The Rush", 1.1 million.

"K Mountain", 1.1 million.

Fourth day of the lunar month:

"Hi Coast", 2.1 million.

"Haji's Dream", 1.8 million.

"K Mountain", 0.9 million.

"The Rush", 0.7 million.

The box office is declining every day, from a daily total of 9 million to 8 million, then to 7 million and 6 million. The speed of decline is unimaginable. On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year last year, the daily total box office was close to billion.

Among them, "K Mountain" actually performed the best, stabilizing at the level of 0.9-1.1 million.

When the movie is taken off the screen, it will have a box office of at least 10 billion, which is very good for Wang Hong and Qi Hao.

The fifth day of the lunar month.

At the roadshow of "Haji's Dream", Tang Ping was interviewed by reporters.

The reporter asked what he thought of videos like "Watch a certain movie in three minutes" on short video platforms.

Perhaps because of the poor box office performance of "Haji's Dream" or because of resentment, Tang Ping complained:
"I am speechless about this phenomenon. Movies are the art of light, color and composition. They are not just about telling stories. If you only look at the stories, that is shallow. If you are only satisfied with the superficial plot summary, you will not know how to watch movies. I hope that the audience will go to the cinema to watch movies and feel the charm of movies with their hearts, rather than being swayed by fast food culture. What is the meaning of just a few minutes of summary on the phone? Every movie is the result of the hard work of countless staff members. As a director, I feel very sad about this phenomenon."

As soon as this interview came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the public opinion field, and many people expressed their dissatisfaction.

Zhihu: [Tang Ping appealed to the audience, "I hope the audience will go to the cinema to watch (movies)", the number of moviegoers and total box office fell by more than 40% during the Spring Festival. What is the current situation of the film industry? ]

Problem Description:

On February 2, "Tang Ping said he was speechless about the short video about the movie" became a hot search. In the interview, Tang Ping called on the audience to go to the cinema to watch movies and not be swayed by the fast food culture. In fact, the film market has cooled down sharply this year.

Data shows that the number of moviegoers and total box office fell by more than 2023% in the third quarter of 30, and most listed film and television companies suffered losses. Industry experts said that the box office data for the whole year may decline sharply, and the difference may reach 100 billion yuan.

What do you think of this scene?

Hot Answer:

[Some movies of that quality only deserve a 3-minute introduction! Some movies don’t even deserve that 3 minutes.

Including your Tangping.

Without these three minutes, no one would have heard of most niche films. This model allows people to get to know more actors and directors, so next time they see this person, they may be interested and may be attracted to the cinema. This actually serves the role of a trailer.

You just keep thinking about educating the audience every day, why don’t you just shoot something good?
Let's not talk about the distant past, just take your film "Haji's Dream", what kind of shit is that? It's totally unworthy of me wasting hours and spending money to buy a ticket to watch it, can I get my money back? You made a box office of more than 2 billion, what else do you want? Don't be ungrateful! ]
"I feel the same way. It was just too rubbish before, so now I don't want to watch it anymore. I don't want to be ripped off!"

"Do good movies really lack people who go to the cinema to watch them? Is Resident Evil an example?"

"That's right, you can't blame the audience for not going to see the movie. How can the market buy into this money-laundering garbage?"

[Is it possible that your movie was just too bad?

You have grievances, but don’t the audience have grievances too?
Movie tickets are getting more and more expensive now, especially during the Spring Festival, when a ticket can easily cost more than 40 yuan. I feel nervous before entering the cinema, just like opening a blind box, and I don’t know if I can get a good movie.

If it doesn't look good, not only will you be angry, but you will also lose money.

Where can the audience go to seek justice? They are all the same shit, but they still expect people to pay for it. Why?
You can't make a good movie, but you blame the fans who are your bread and butter for not paying you.

——How disobedient and rebellious you are, turning against the Heavenly Gang! ]
"Don't even think about going to the cinema! I think it's a waste of time to watch it on my phone!"

"It's really hard to describe the domestic films now!"

[You showed me Resident Evil, so when it comes to Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, of course I have to go to the cinema to watch them;
You are a director and actor with a good reputation. If you make a new movie, I can definitely go to the cinema to watch it;
You are an unknown new director who made a movie about a subject that interests me. It is okay for me to go to the cinema to watch it. I will definitely go to see it if I am in a good mood.

But, you showed me a bad movie like "Chinese" once, why should I let you deceive me a second time? ]
