Chapter Thirteen: Noisy and Calm

From the beginning of the promotion of "Xiu Chun Knife", Shen Changlin has always been very low-key...

Compared with his previous arrogant image in the media and on the Internet, it is completely different.

After all, he had 'criticized' other directors before, and when making other works, he was very impassioned and gave pointers. This was not good, that was not good, and his words were also harsh and harsh.

Many people in the industry actually don’t have much expectations for "Xiu Chun Knife" - it exists in every industry!

Moreover, Shen Changlin was so smooth. As a writer, he was admitted to Nortel's directing department. His graduation project was a theatrical movie. The production cost was 20 million, and Deng Chao + Li Lianhua were invited!

I'm more or less jealous!

Therefore, many people buy tickets and enter the cinema with a critical mentality...

Then I came to the same conclusion as Zhou Liming: it is a serious costume film that incorporates a lot of genre elements. The plot setting and character dilemma settings have been carefully thought out. The performance of several main actors is okay, but the plot has flaws, but the overall performance is acceptable. .

As a director's debut, it can be said to be stunning!

Of course, the role of film critics may not be as big as imagined. At least on the Internet, it is said that "director Shen Changlin's debut film "Xiuchungdao" triggered a movie-going frenzy, with a box office of nearly 30 million on the first day" or "30 million on the first day," Against the backdrop of "The Knife" setting a new box office record for domestic films, it doesn't matter whether the reviews are objective or not...

""Xiu Chun Dao" made a stunning debut, Shen Changlin deserves to be called a genius!"

"I watched "Xiu Chun Dao": it is the best martial arts film in China in recent years, bar none!"

"An amazing story! I highly praise "Xiu Chun Dao"!"…

The publicity team and the publisher briefly discussed it and then added an additional 5 million yuan in publicity funds...

Thus, the phenomenon of rave reviews for "Xiu Chun Knife" was created!

This is not very accurate. The premise is that the movie itself is not bad. If the movie itself is embarrassing, no matter how much money you pay, it will be difficult to brag...

Right, "Shanghai Fortress"?

The results of the first day of "Spring Knife" have been released. It is estimated that most people in the industry can't sleep, especially "Unmanned Driving" and "Xi Travels" which compete with "Spring Knife"...

The upper limit of the market is set here. "Xiu Chun Knife" was a big hit on the first day, its reputation is not bad, and it will definitely continue to be a hit after that.

You may not care about "Unmanned Driving" and "Hee Travels", but the box office of "The King of Guns" was cut in half - on July 3, the single-day box office did not reach 4 million!

But what do they do? Nothing can be done, the movie has already been released!

At most, find a few trolls to smear it, or secretly curse the light for its bad luck...

Haha, I overestimated the limits of these people!

The distributor of "The King of Guns" has issued a press release saying that ""Xiu Chun Dao" is dominated by one family, which affects the balance of the film...

Well, let’s find fault with the arrangement of films.

However, this matter has not yet fermented. After all, the whole Internet is saying ""Xiu Chun Dao" makes a stunning appearance"...

Speaking of light, Wang Changtian is also very excited. His initial box office prediction for "Xiu Chun Knife" was 80 million to 100 million. It can make money, but not much...

Again, the subject matters.

But judging from the results on the first day, "Xiu Chun Dao" has reached at least 250 million!

20 million cost, 10 million promotion, 30 million in exchange for 250 million box office...

Set a record for the highest return on investment in light.

For Shen Changlin, "Xiu Chun Dao" was a big hit!

After this battle, Shen Changlin has completely become a famous director, and he is also a best-selling director.

After all, at this stage, there are really not many movies that can make money.

Especially in the mainland, except for Ah Mou, Pants, Ning Hao, and then they are gone!

Anyway, from now on, once the filming of Shen Changlin's second movie is announced, there will definitely be no problem with funding. Even if he doesn't want to make a movie, capital will urge him...

However, Shen Changlin didn't understand this...

After all, in his day, breaking 100 million on the first day was considered a basic operation!

I really don’t think he is that great, and to put it bluntly, this movie was not made by him at all!

I just posted two Weibo posts, read the comments online, and fell asleep on the sofa - I was so tired!

By the way, this round of publicity only requires Shen Changlin...

The actors have other plans.



At half past seven, Shen Changlin went downstairs to have breakfast. The restaurant was a buffet. After getting the food, Shen Changlin was a little surprised when he saw a group of people already waiting for him: "So early?"

Just after saying hello, Shen Changlin's expression changed slightly. Before he could speak, Guo Songjiang said: "It's okay, you can eat your food. The earliest activities won't start until nine o'clock..."

"Then why did you get up so early?"

Shen Changlin felt relieved, lowered his head and started eating steamed buns...

Chen Jing noticed that Shen Changlin ate well and looked good. He was obviously not as tired as he had been a few days ago. She couldn't help but said: "Director, you are so awesome. I didn't sleep much all night. How do you stay so calm?"

"...didn't sleep? Aren't you sleepy?"

Well, Chen Jing’s face is full of excitement!

The first-day box office of "Spring Knife" broke the domestic film record. Although most of it was because of Shen Changlin's name, the promoters also benefited a lot...

"Aren't you asking questions knowingly? We have set a record..."

Shen Changlin raised his head, shook his head and said: "...28 million, to be honest, it didn't meet my expectations..."

“…”

"I always feel that there should be 35 million to 40 million on the first day. It seems that I have overestimated my appeal!"

Shen Changlin's tone was very calm and his expression was very sincere...

Well, that’s what he actually thought. Compared with Guo Jingming’s “Little Times”’s first-day sales of 77 million, “Xiuchungdao”’s first-day sales were not even half of his...

Of course, the number of screens is different. Judging from the number of screenings, "Xiuchungdao" has more than 14,000 screenings, and "Tiny Times" if I remember correctly, there should be 35,000 screenings on the first day...

Proportionally speaking, he, Shen Changlin, is weaker than Guo Jingming!

Several people shut up and didn't know how to answer...

It was as if I felt the birth of King Bi.

After Shen Changlin finished his breakfast, Guo Songjiang asked: "Changlin, how much box office do you think our movie can have?"

"...It should be over 200 million..."

"Why is it only 200 million? We had 28 million on the first day!"

"That's right, "If You Are the One" only made 17 million on its first day, but its total box office is close to 300 million!"

"Our reputation is not bad, I think it is at least 300 million!"

"Well, I think so too... I just received the news that today's film schedule has reached 55%, and there are more than 17,000 shows!"

Shen Changlin interrupted the busy discussion among several people, "Don't you check the schedule? "Tangshan Earthquake" will be released on July 22!"

Then a group of people said again: "You value pants too much!"

"...That is, I think "Tangshan Earthquake" may not be as good as our "Xiu Chun Dao"..."

No, where do you get your confidence?

Well, they are not reborn...

Thinking of this, Shen Changlin stood up: "Forget it, I'll go back to the room to prepare."

"what to prepare?"

"Didn't you invite Han Han?"

"Okay, get ready..." Guo Songjiang nodded, then seemed to remember something, looked at Shen Changlin, and said calmly: "By the way, let me tell you something, Lianhua is also here, she is going to participate in the next one All trips!”

"who?"

"Li Lianhua..."

Shen Changlin lost his composure and swallowed: "Isn't she in Hong Kong?"
