"The Left Ear" grossed 42 million on the first day, 69 million on the second day, and 63 million on the third day...

In the first three days, the cumulative box office exceeded 174 million...

Don't worry, there is a total of four days of New Year's Day holiday plus the weekend, and Monday is still a legal holiday.

On January 2nd, "Zuo Er" collected another 56 million yuan in a single day, which was similar to Shen Changlin's prediction. It collected 230 million yuan in the first four days!

The crew's road show has increased to 22 cities!

In addition to the eight must-visit cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wucheng, Chengdu and Hangzhou, I also added Changsha, Nanchang, Hefei and other second-tier cities...

A city a day, at least three events, seven more.

Run in separate teams for two or three days, run together for one day, and then run separately again.

Every day is either on the plane or in the car. Every day is a roadshow meeting and autograph signing...

According to Liu Shishi’s complaint: It’s much more tiring than filming!

In the first few days, I saw the box office rising steadily, and every movie fan I met was extremely enthusiastic. Later, on the way in and out of the cinema, I would even be blocked by enthusiastic movie fans...

Everyone is in high spirits.

Then I became more and more sleep-deprived and physically tired...

I lay down as soon as I got in the car...

When I got on the plane, I didn't even bother to talk about daily life and just closed my eyes...

Shen Changlin felt distressed and funny at the same time: "I have good news for you!"

"What good news?"

"I heard from Zhao Shan that many film crews and companies are looking for you, and they all leave it to her. How much do you think they will pay for the film?"

"How did I know...Lao Cai is currently busy with the review of "The Ballad of the Desert" and has no time to pay attention to me..."

"Did "The Ballad of the Desert" pass the review?"

"Well, I heard..." Shi Shi and Shen Changlin had a brief chat about "The Ballad of the Desert". It was the original work that was blamed for it being targeted by "netizens" and various letters were requested to be banned...

"I told you...Shi Shi?"

Well, there was snoring coming from the other end of the phone, I guess she fell asleep...

So hard!

Shen Changlin also hung up the phone and returned to the restaurant. There is a dinner tonight, not with outsiders, Wang Changtian is treating him!

…

Wang Changtian is really proud of himself this year, as Enlight successfully went public. His net worth was revealed to be 4.5 billion yuan, making him the richest man in a private media company...

Lao Wang is different from the Huang brothers, the latter really ‘understand’ life!

10 hours of sleep a day.

He sleeps until 11 o'clock every day and gets up. After arriving at the company, he drinks tea and chats with others. Then he goes to the company to have some lunch, and then takes a lunch break. In the afternoon, he continues to drink tea and chat at the company. Start preparing for the party in the evening!

I almost never go to the office to work, and always hang out in teahouses and restaurants chatting with the crowds.

It is said that he made many major decisions while drinking red wine and smoking cigars.

He thinks he understands life, likes horse riding and collecting, and is willing to spend a lot of money. He spent 30 million yuan to build a horse club and raised more than 60 purebred horses, each worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. He is keen on collecting paintings and spends a lot of money. His collection of world-famous paintings made him famous!

Lao Wang is not good anymore. He has to go to work every day and brings food to work. He heats it up in the microwave and eats it at noon.

I like good food, so every day after get off work, I drive around with my colleagues and friends in search of delicious food.

Like Shen Changlin, he likes to drink tea, but Shen Changlin only drinks green tea, and he mainly drinks strong tea.

Anyway, if Shen Changlin is looking for him, he will definitely be able to find him in Guangguang's office.

Coming back, the Rays also suffered losses this year - Zhang Zhao left!

Zhang Zhao is the founder of Enlight Pictures. Zhang Zhao created Enlight's underground network distribution. Those Hong Kong directors also cooperated with Enlight because of his reputation.

This is also the reason why the original space and time and light investment are competing - lack of projects.

But this time and space is different. The appearance of Shen Changlin quickly filled the gap left by Zhang Zhao's departure, and the several projects he led were almost all hits!

Needless to say, "Big Shot" and "Xiuchundao: Battlefield of Shura", "Left Ear" grossed 230 million in the first four days!

Wang Changtian's own prediction for "Left Ear" is that the box office will exceed 100 million...

It was reasonable to make such a prediction based on the cast lineup and investment scale, but "The Left Ear" shocked him again.

Wang Changtian felt that he didn't understand the market a little bit, and it was necessary to have a good chat with Shen Changlin...

There has been heated discussion in the industry about the success of "Left Ear".

Most people don't understand why "The Left Ear" is such a hit. From a film perspective, "The Left Ear" is... mediocre.

Put aside the fuss about the script structure and the rigidity of the camera language, and just look at the bits of emotion that can touch people's hearts and blur judgment.

"Those Years", which is composed of typical characters and typical events, has a more obscene sense of pattern than Guo Xiaosi, but it does not indulge pretentiousness into style.

It's not as good as "Those Years", let alone "Sunny Days" - the summer of making bricks in "Sunny Days", what people remember most clearly is the excessively bright sunshine of that summer, the boring and long period of doing nothing. , only the pursuit of photographing girls is left.

Especially as the movie became a hit, more and more people went into the cinema to try to watch this domestic film that set a box office record, and came to the conclusion: hypocritical, bloody, and of course confused: Why can such a movie be such a hit?

Is it possible that an adaptation of Shen Changlin's original work will be a big hit?

Even if Shen Changlin and director Su Lun made it clear during the interview that "The Left Ear" is dedicated to all fans who have read the original work of "The Left Ear"!", it would not work because the movie itself is for the general public.

The word-of-mouth score of "Left Ear" has dropped to 6.2 points, and more and more people have given negative reviews. "China Film Report" specially interviewed viewers. A chubby boy wearing glasses said: "My youth is not Like this!”

Once again caused complaints from the audience...

But "Left Ear" is still a hit...

…

By the way, Lao Wang has the idea of ​​​​buying a stake in Changlin Film and Television - directly absorbing it!

Binding Shen Changlin is like binding Huayi to pants.

However, this idea was rejected by Shen Changlin as soon as it was proposed: "I have no plans to deeply bind any film and television company, because I am not sure that every movie of mine can be a hit... It is better not to cheat my partners. !”

Seeing that he was resolute, Wang Changtian stopped talking about this topic: "I think the IP you mentioned in the last interview is very interesting!"

"Let me give you an example. Journey to the West is the most famous IP adaptation film and television project. So many big companies are keen on adapting this. It is definitely not because it can tell better stories - it is entirely because of its excellent monetization model."

"Monetization model?"

"The original work has a broad base and a large audience."

"Is this how Zuoer operates?"

"Almost..." smiled, and Shen Changlin asked: "Otherwise you can't explain the reason why "Left Ear" is so popular. Is "Zone Ear" really a great movie?"

Wang Changtian also smiled...

From a movie perspective, "The Left Ear" is obviously very mediocre, with a bloody plot and a slightly pretentious narration...

But it just sold like a charm!

"You mean, how many more blockbuster works can be created according to this model?"

"...It's possible, but I estimate that as the audience's aesthetic level improves, this type of genre will soon be abandoned by them... After all, the movie should still rely on the movie itself to speak for itself." By the way, he added: "And "The Left Ear" is a big one.

Yes, we only use the most popular actors."

Wang Changtian nodded with deep understanding: "Yes, "Far Cry" can have a box office of 50 million, and the power of idols cannot be underestimated!"

"You're talking about fans, right?"
Chapter completed!
