Chapter 22 Forced Comparison (2/4)
21st, night.
Shen Changlin and his party arrived in Shenzhen and were resting in the hotel exhausted.
"I'm going to take a shower first!"
"Um…"
Jiangsu Ying went back to the room, while Shen Changlin and Wang Kai stayed in the hall...
They were each leaning on the sofa, holding their mobile phones, bored...
Wang Kai suddenly said: "Director, I just took a look and found that the first-day ticket sales for "Superman" may be less than 30 million per side. We should have 76 million..."
"...Where did you see it?"
"Weibo, the Weibo of the Movie Box Office Post Bar... has special statistics!"
Shen Changlin nodded...
Indeed, before Maoyan and Taopiaopiao launched real-time box office statistics, the only way to know the box office data of the day was through the statistics of the movie box office!
After covering more than 4,000 theaters, Maoyan combined with the big data advantages of its own platform to launch real-time box office. In fact, it was not very smooth at the beginning because the public believed in Baidu Nuomi and Yien data...
Later, Yien Data did not have the capital to follow up, or even if it did, it was difficult to compare with Maoyan and Taopiaopiao's strength, and was gradually eliminated. As for Baidu Nuomi, in the following years, Baidu's traffic was driven by the new model , snatched away by new industries, and after O2O was proven to be a fake outlet, how could Baidu Nuomi still have the energy to do anything? After Lu Qi took office, he drastically cut off unfocused businesses such as medical advertising, lifestyle platforms, etc., and focused his core energy on Focus on the "All in Al" strategy.
"Why aren't you afraid of Superman?"
Shen Changlin put down his mobile phone, picked up the water glass, took a sip, and explained: "Unless a Marvel DC superhero single-player series is a big hit like "Iron Man 3", the target is usually around 300 to 400 million... This is The most reliable box office prediction nowadays... However, as the number of screens increases, the box office of similar superhero movies will also increase, but at least at this stage, I am not afraid of it!"
"The reputation of "Man of Steel" is also not very good, so it shouldn't pose a threat to our movies, right?"
"Although the box office will still be separated a little bit, in general, we can consider our next opponent!"
The only thing "Man of Steel" can boast about is its action design...
The plot is a mess!
The biggest flaw is that he didn’t save his father!
No matter what reason his adoptive father had for Clark not to save him, no matter what reason Clark had for not letting him take action, no matter what philosophical thinking and life principles the director expressed here...
No matter what, I can't accept it if you don't save your father even if he is going to die. What do you want? Will mankind be destroyed after you save him? Or will mankind destroy you after you save him?
That horse is your father!
You have the power to save him!
Basic humanity is gone, so why are you talking to me about religious metaphors?
The logic of Hollywood movies always likes to raise a question: Who am I?
Only after they understand this can they do great things.
But we Chinese don’t worry about it at all. Who you are depends on what you have done!
Of course, everyone can't imagine that there will be worse "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", "Suicide Squad", "Justice League"...
Therefore, it seems that "Superman: Drive of Steel" is quite good...
Thanks to James Wan who brought "Aquaman" to make up for the blood, otherwise, the DC Extended Universe would have been declared a failure!
…
Room service comes to deliver dinner.
After taking a group photo, Shen Changlin greeted Wang Kai and Jiangsu Ying to have something to eat...
The two were not very hungry, so they chewed one piece after another.
Shen Changlin was okay, he poured half a glass of red wine - it helped him sleep!
Wang Kai suddenly asked: "Director, do you think I should focus on movies?"
"It's not necessary," Shen Changlin answered directly without thinking: "Kevin Spacey has accepted the role of "House of Cards". He is an Oscar-winning actor. Do you think you are higher than him... Of course, we must consider cooperation. The team also has a script, and Shanying is good. Didn’t you shoot "Battle of Changsha"?"
"But when I was in school, the teacher warned us to make movies as much as possible and avoid TV series..."
"Times have changed!" Shen Changlin shook his head: "Don't think about it so much. We have a good team and a good script. Why not take it? Let me tell you, I might also shoot a TV series one day!"
"ah?"
"Isn't it strange that the director of "House of Cards" is David Fincher..."
David Fincher is very famous!
One of the few directors in Hollywood who has final cut control.
However, he screwed up "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" the year before last, and no major studio dared to cast him for two years, so he took on "House of Cards" and then returned to the mainstream with "Gone Girl."
——With a cost of US$61 million, it sold US$160 million in North America, US$200 million overseas, and the global box office reached 360 million!
"What about me?"
Jiangsu Ying interrupted.
"The same goes for you... If there's a good script, just accept it. Don't worry about whether it's the female lead or not, and don't worry about whether the series will be a hit... maintain your exposure first."
"oh…"
…
After Shen Changlin learned about today's box office, he simply ignored it...
Victory is decided!
Taking advantage of the two-day reputation gained by "The Band of Thieves", tomorrow's box office will definitely exceed 100 million!
Winners exceeded 300 million in the first four days.
It’s clear that this is a billion-dollar movie!
Several companies that were busy sniping at "The Thieves" still did not give up. They changed their minds and began to accuse the magic in the movie of being unrealistic...
How did they do it?
Find the self-media and ask them to take out "The Deadly Magic" and analyze it point by point to prove that "The Thieves" is rubbish...
This is a commonly used method!
Comparing foreign classic films with domestic works with better reputations...
You said that the two are not the same style at all. "The Magic" is a suspense and thriller type of drama, while "The Thief" is an action crime type...
No matter, it’s all magic themed!
A bunch of people online commented in favor...
It’s strange that there are a group of people on the Internet who always feel that just because they have seen a good movie, they are qualified to look down on people who have not seen it…
I despise the chain!
It is normal that even if it is world peace, the highest virtue that human beings should aspire to, there are still some careerists who want to provoke war.
Not to mention things like movies that involve aesthetic differences. As long as there are people, there will be differences in taste.
Even the directors themselves despise each other.
Godard commented on Spielberg, "I don't know him personally, and I don't think his works are very good!"
Ingmar Bergman complained about Da Godard, "I never get anything out of his films. They feel artificial, artificial, lifeless. From the perspective of the film itself, it is extremely boring." Godard is an annoying idiot who only makes movies for the critics.'
By the way, everyone despises Michael Bay. When interviewed, they all said, "Michael Bay is a fool and a retard!"
You see, even directors despise each other. Is there anything wrong with comparing their works?
Is there any globally recognized work that everyone thinks is awesome?
There are also Tindo Barras and Biggs Luna, these two are relatively recognized master-level directors in the world...
Therefore, only the world of LSP is unified!
