“The audience didn’t support me, but the people who dared to stand up against these guys.

“I just happened to be there at the right time.

Director Wei has always had a clear self-positioning and avoided becoming arrogant.

Of course, having said that, not everyone can do it at the right time.

The problems in the Chinese entertainment industry are known to everyone in the industry, and even to people outside of it.

But who is willing to stand up and be the child who exposes the emperor’s new clothes?

No one dares.

Everyone just dares to follow the crowd.

Therefore, Director Wei happened to be in the right place because he was the only one who dared to stand up and say this.

If it were anyone else, they simply wouldn’t have the courage and responsibility.

Director Wei's boldness is not only reflected in this aspect.

Two days before the release of "The Great Wall", the "Xianyang Incident" script-killing episode of "Running Man" was broadcast.

After it was broadcast, the whole screen was in uproar.

No one expected that in this top-level variety show, Yu Shi, they would see a script of such a large scale.

The audience was stunned.

"Awesome, worthy of being Director Wei's script-killing film.

"As a native of Xianyang, I feel that the level of local governance in Xianyang is indeed terrible.

"When a hospital is shut down for three months, is this a punishment for the hospital or for the patients? That's a good question.

"Director Wei is awesome, he dares to shoot anything. People in Xianyang give him a thumbs up.

“Bold, I like it.

“The visual effect is very strong, it is definitely the correct treatment method in reality.

“6 is just one word, and I only say it once.

“Reality is probably even more outrageous than what is portrayed in variety shows.

"I was so moved after watching it, I will definitely go support The Great Wall.

"The Running Man production team was very nervous about this episode.

Of course, they could also guess that the reputation would be good.

But they estimate that the opposition will be strong.

It turns out that the opposition is indeed very strong.

Local departments in Xianyang, especially the health department, expressed strong opposition.

He also said that people in Xianyang are people of integrity and will definitely not sit idly by and watch a few outsiders mock their hometown.

Even the official Weibo accounts of several local departments have united to call on local people in Xianyang not to watch "The Great Wall" to teach Wei Jun a lesson.

After all, in this episode of script-killing, the city of Xianyang was indeed given a sharp satire.

It makes them feel very ashamed.

They felt that the people of Xianyang must have thought so too.

However, when the first day box office of "The Great Wall" came out, it slapped these people in the face.

The box office from Xianyang ranks third among major cities in the country, second only to the Imperial Capital and the Magic City.

This transcript is the best proof.

The audience votes with their feet.

They know very well who is deceiving them and who is speaking for them.

At Station A, many people from Xianyang posted their ticket stubs.

"Director Wei is satirizing the relevant departments in Xianyang. What does it have to do with us, the people of Xianyang?" "Director Wei is clearly speaking for us, the people of Xianyang."

"'The Great Wall' is about the Qin Dynasty, and Xianyang was the capital of the Qin Dynasty, so of course we have to support it."

"Go Director Wei, go 'The Great Wall'."

"I'll go for a second look tomorrow."

Seeing the situation in Xianyang, Director Wei immediately made the decision: "Change the publicity plan and stay in Xianyang for one more day."

The propaganda department naturally had no objection.

Da Tiantian is convinced.

"Mr. Wei, was this also in your prediction?" "About the same. The local people have the most say in the level of governance in a place.

As one of the largest cities in central and western China, Xianyang's governance...really needs to be improved, and there's a lot of room for improvement."

Wei Jun said this and shook his head speechlessly.

It's 2015 now.

In the past life, until 2021, Xianyang’s governance level was still a mess.

So how bad was 2015?

No one has less say than the locals.

Deng Chao came to Wei Jun happily with a box office report to report the good news.

"Mr. Wei, our first-day box office was 2.6 million, almost reaching 3 million.

Wei Jun nodded.

"It's within expectations, so don't get too excited. The first-day box office is always going to be high. My appeal is there, and we're the summer blockbuster. The Great Wall has the highest screening rate of any film, bar none.

Since his first film "Warring States", Director Wei's films have always been the top hit in this period.

Director Wei has basically never experienced anything like accumulating strength and then making a breakthrough.

He always gets started early.

Then, I kept leading.

Never been surpassed.

"What about the other movies?" Wei Jun asked.

Fu Dalong answered quickly: "The highest-grossing film, Monster Hunt, was 140 million yuan, and none of the others have even broken 100 million yuan. The first-day box office of The Taoist Priest Wasteland was only 70 million yuan.

Wei Jun raised an eyebrow.

In the previous life, the first-day box office of "Monster Hunt" was 1.6 million yuan, and the first-day box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" was 1.02 million yuan.

Now that "The Great Wall" has taken away their screening schedule, it has naturally diverted their box office revenue.

It's normal that the box office is lower than in the previous life.

It will only get lower and lower later.

Wei Jun lost his concern for the two opponents and instead looked at Fu Dalong curiously, chuckling, "Teacher Fu, I thought you didn't care about box office and were just a simple performing artist.

Fu Dalong's face turned red.

"Director Wei, you're joking. Who doesn't want to be famous? At least if you're famous you can choose more good scripts.

"Brother Shan is telling the truth."

Da Tiantian said: "I really want to be famous.

Shan Ge refers to Fu Dalong.

Fu Dalong is a very old-fashioned person.

He is famous and also learned from the ancients and has his own calligraphy.

His character is mountain.

So Da Tiantian calls him Brother Shan.

The King of Wei kicked his legs and stopped fighting with the world.

"It seems that we really have no opponents, and we just need to do our best from now on.

Everyone, please work hard during the roadshow, and go back to the hotel and have a good rest after the roadshow.

You will have a 20 billion+ movie on your resume soon, I promise.

Director Wei's assurance instantly energized everyone.

"Charge, charge, charge." "The Great Wall" is indeed charging.

The box office on the first day was 2.6 million yuan, and the box office on the second day was 2.2 million yuan.

The box office on the third day did not maintain 3 million because it was a weekday.

Even so, there are still 1.9 million.

The box office in three days has reached 6.7 million.

Forecasting agencies have raised their predictions for the box office of "The Great Wall". In everyone's mind, there is no doubt that the box office of "The Great Wall" will exceed 20 billion yuan.

The suspense now is how much the total box office of "The Great Wall" can be.

But no matter what, Director Wei has another successful commercial blockbuster on the way.

The directors in the circle were so envious and jealous.

The directors in the circle were so envious and jealous.

The actors in the circle are also full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Why didn’t they get to eat this big piece of cake?

No, Director Wei's next film must not be missed. The box office of "The Great Wall" directly broke Chen Kaige's mentality.

Because the box office of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" also collapsed.

What Director Wei said at the premiere is becoming a reality.

This caused many netizens to start lashing out.

Chen Kaige felt so uncomfortable.

In order to promote the film, Director Wei also accepted an interview.

When asked about this by reporters, Director Wei did not avoid the issue and answered the reporter's somewhat divisive questions very frankly.

Of course, in order to prevent reporters from cutting off the beginning and the end and deliberately creating trouble, Director Wei specifically asked the publicity staff of Station A to accompany the roadshow this time.

There was a small filming team.

It’s just right for Station A to broadcast all of its interviews.

The question the reporter asked was, Director Wei, do you think many of today's great directors are out of date?

Director Wei’s answer was straightforward: “It’s not necessarily outdated, it’s just that they’ve all achieved success and fame, so they don’t have that hunger anymore.

They have achieved material freedom and are now beginning to pursue spiritual things that are ethereal and illusory.

So they gave up on telling a good story, even though they all had the ability to do so.”

Reporter: "All of them?"

Director Wei: “Of course both. Every Lunar New Year film directed by Director Feng was a well-deserved comedy with a story at its core.

"Although Director Chen's previous film 'Search' didn't do well at the box office, it was a complete story and received very good reviews. It even broke even. Everyone knows how difficult it is for Director Chen's films to break even at the box office.

When Wei Jun said this, the whole room burst into laughter.

But everyone knows that what Wei Jun said is also true.

It is really not easy for Chen Kaige's movies to make a profit at the box office.

After so many years, only a few films have made a profit.

"And Director Jiang, let alone Let the Bullets Fly, what a complete story it is?" "It's not that they don't know how to tell a story, or that they don't have the ability, but that they just don't want to do it. They have no choice but to suffer the consequences. They deserve the low box office.

Wei Jun said it very directly: "In the future domestic film market, middle-aged directors should gradually seize the box office.
