Chapter 94 Big Sale
This joke was not very successful. Except for Jin Chen who smiled so heartily that his big teeth almost broke out, the other two people including the staff just made a tacit understanding to apologize...
"No way? Isn't this funny? It's a toad passed down from our ancestors!"
Chen Jing took out two cups of coffee from the side: "Drink some coffee to refresh yourself!"
"...Sure enough, I have no talent for comedy!"
Shen Changlin is still complaining...
Sun Honglei became interested: "Director, do you want to make a comedy?"
"That's what I said..."
"If you need it in the future, just give me a word!"
"Don't worry, you have such good acting skills, I won't let you go..."
Sun Honglei's show of goodwill is understandable.
"Big Shot" is already a phenomenon-level movie. Shen Changlin has been directly promoted from a genius-level novice director to a hot commercial film director!
A bunch of buzzwords on the Internet:
‘You’re arresting me? Do you fucking know how much I’ve contributed to Binhai?’
'The law will not remind you to be a good person, but it will never let any bad person go!'
'You have money, you can disrespect a person's value, but you must abide by the law!'
Let's put it this way, when it came to the casting of "Search", Jiang Wenli and Wang Xueqi, who originally had a wait-and-see attitude, immediately agreed to star. They even jumped out of their pants and praised "Big Shot" and Shen Changlin, to the effect that "young people are to be feared." …
"Director, we should get ready!"
Shen Changlin stood up, led everyone to the elevator, and then appeared in the screening room...
By the way, the one they came to was China Film Star Cinema!
At this time, the manager of this theater was reporting the situation to the superior: "Boss, we are asked to stabilize the film schedule of "Martial Arts", but wouldn't this be good? The attendance rate of "Big Shot" is much higher than that of "Martial Arts"..."
"What was the box office of "Martial Arts" yesterday? I'm talking about the national box office?"
"Almost eight million."
"Eight million...Oh, Chen Kexin + Donnie Yen + Kim Sung-wu, the box office did not reach 40 million in four days!"
The man on the other end of the phone seemed to be thinking. After waiting for a while, he said: "The single-day box office of "Big Shot" has not been less than 30 million! There will definitely be a wave of outbreaks on weekends. In this way, you can queue up all the halls for "Big Shot" , the small hall is reserved for "Martial Arts"...I can also give a report to the superiors!"
"good…"
…
Road shows are basically just bragging and interviews.
"I have always felt that the highest quality of police movies is not the adrenaline rush of the fight scenes, nor the life and death moments of undercover gangsters, nor the intellectual pleasure of solving puzzles, but the face of the world where rich families are full of wine and meat, and the roads are frozen to death, and then As a "little" person, fire the most determined shot at the "big" person to counterattack!"
“We must focus on reality!”
A reporter asked: "But "Big Shot" can definitely dig deeper!"
Shen Changlin shook his head: "...Commercial films, especially action comedies, should go straight to the point without making any detours, serve the audience, and meet the needs of the market. At the same time, you need to push yourself downwards. Don't have too many personal things. 20% is not enough." Less."
"I added demolition, school district housing, and gift-giving. These are things that we Chinese may have become accustomed to. When it is enlarged on the screen, the look and feel is still different, and the audience will still feel shocked."
"And life itself is quite hard. There is no need for people to accept some truths and perceive some insights from a very serious environment."
"Then how would you rate "Big Shot" in your own evaluation?"
"Eight points, it's more about inheritance and less about innovation. This is also the dilemma of police and gangster-style action movies. Nowadays, more and more, they are still about pure fighting and killing. I believe that future creations will be more precise and more precise. Complex and profound. Many times the real darkness can kill people without using a knife or a gun."
After the questions were asked, it was the audience's turn.
"Is Wu Jing in the easter egg part a good guy or a bad guy?"
"Then how could I tell you? Otherwise, it would be a spoiler!"
"What does "Breaking the Ice" mean?"
"It means sweeping D... The script is still being produced. It is estimated that Wu Jing will not have time to film until Wu Jing is out of military training!"
"Army training?"
Shen Changlin explained casually: "He went to the Nanjing Special Forces Brigade for training and will stay for at least a year!"
"I want to ask Chen Xiao..."
"Let me ask Brother Honglei..."
…
The interview will end soon. It’s a road show. Each stop will last for up to half an hour...
There is still another place to rush to, and the work is far from over.
After getting in the car, Shen Changlin took out his mobile phone and started to open Weibo. The post bar included comments from Tianya netizens.
He has a bad habit, that is, he is particularly concerned about other people's evaluations of him. After all, he relies on word of mouth to make a living!
As for media evaluation, just take a look and don’t be affected...
The media tried their best to use their own knowledge to explain the reason for the outbreak of "Big Shot". Some said it was the unique marketing method, some said it was Shen Changlin's personal appeal...
Some people even attribute the factor to the lack of strong movies of the same period...
Damn it, the schedule is not strong, why don’t you schedule a few strong movies?
They still refuse to admit that for a novice director, his first film scorned most domestic directors, but his second film almost reached the top!
In a society based on seniority, this makes the seniors feel ashamed!
See what netizens say:
ID'Good Brother': "Why did "Big Shot" do so well at the box office? To make an irresponsible guess, it's probably because the film conforms to the public's psychological expectations. The rich second-generation stereotype in the film is almost universal in any society and in any era. Yes, he represents a typical evil.
Sun Dasheng's character is actually just a conscientious joker who is not nobler than others. He also quarrels with his wife, worries about housing in the school district, and hopes for promotion and salary increase.
But the only thing he can't tolerate is professional enemies, which is crime.
This is his job. Since he has to do such work after receiving this salary, there should be no highlights to describe what should be done.
But Sun Dasheng is a policeman, and the police fight against the bad guys without mercy. This is the most correct thing... The movie just tells the right thing!"
ID: ‘Guangmu Muhaifeng’: “It does have the temperament of a Hong Kong movie, Sun Honglei is responsible for the excess, and Chen Xiao is responsible for the madness, but it is just likeable!”
ID: 'M Egg Fried Rice JY': "The righteous and hot-blooded policeman captures the lawless rich second generation with only one hand to block the sky. The subject is well chosen, but it is too commercial and entertainment-oriented, and the criticism is weak, but it is better than realism. !”
Of course, it's not all praise. For example, the ID "Fengxue Aihua" said: With such a high box office, I thought it was some masterpiece, but it turned out that it was a police battle with an extremely simple plot and no new ideas. A bad boy's movie.
When a small person like this is wronged, the villain takes advantage of his power to bully him, control him from top to bottom, intimidate and bribe him.
The young catcher is not afraid of evil forces and bravely fights against the evil young man.
The family is also wealthy and not promiscuous.
Is this film based on themes from ancient Chinese operas? Peking operas of this type have been filmed thousands of times!"
It's normal. No movie can satisfy everyone's needs. Some people don't like "Alive" and gave it the evaluation of "it's just a TV series"...
The Douban score of "Big Shot" is 7.5, so don't give too many negative reviews!
Unfortunately, bad reviews did not prevent "Big Shot" from becoming a phenomenon-level domestic film.
In the early morning of July 9th, Weibo updated the latest news: "Big Shot" sold 66 million in a single day, successfully breaking the single-day record of 65 million set by "Let the Bullets Fly"!
Chapter completed!
