Since Director Zhang dared to say such a thing, he was not afraid of being broadcast.

Even, in his heart, this statement was actually part of the plan.

After all, as a master in the film field, it is very risky for him to criticize a film so publicly.

But because of this, the audience will naturally dislike the movie "Wandering Planet" after seeing his remarks.

It's easy to guess what the audience is thinking: even such a great director has publicly stated that this movie will not be good, so it probably won't be good.

And even if some viewers still want to watch it, they may change from going to watch the premiere immediately to watching the word-of-mouth on the Internet first, and then deciding whether to watch it or not.

In Director Zhang's plan, as long as the momentum of "Wandering Planet" is suppressed in the early stage and Director Zhang is given his own movie time, then Director Zhang is confident that with his own level of directing movies, he will definitely crush "Wandering Planet" to death of.

Big deal.

Hire more sailors, discredit "Wandering Planet", and give "Wandering Planet" a low score, ruin its reputation, and further reduce the potential audience.

These things are very common operations in the film and television industry.

Now the Xu brothers have been beaten by Chenlu Films, and it has reached the point where it affects their status in the industry.

Therefore, Director Zhang felt that he had to fight a beautiful turnaround.

Let the Xu brothers, let themselves, re-establish their prestige in the industry.

Not many people know about Director Zhang's small thoughts.

However, as he thinks, because his influence is too great, when his several reports and variety shows were published and broadcast, many people were still affected.

In particular, domestic films did not have the genes of sci-fi films before. This type of film is naturally not trusted.

Therefore, many viewers who watched Director Zhang's interview began to sing bad words about "The Wandering Planet" in their own circles,

"Have you watched Director Zhang's interview? In addition to promoting his own movie, he also talked about Lu Man's new movie called "The Wandering Planet."

"I saw it. How should I put it? Science fiction films. The science fiction films of our domestic films are just like ghost films, with a layer of skin. They are said to be science fiction, but they are actually romance films. Like ghost films, they always end with Psychotic ending."

"There is no way for ghost films to be regulated. Sci-fi films are a matter of the imagination of our country's film and television practitioners."

"That's right. Anyway, the most sci-fi movie I've ever seen should be Balala Little Demon Fairy."

Hearing this man's words, all the people around him couldn't help but "Huh?", and then took a few steps back to keep a distance from him.

"As a boy, you still watch Balala Little Demon Fairy?"

The man scratched his neck, "What's the matter? Can't boys watch Balala Little Demon Fairy? Don't you want to watch "Magic City Fortress" like you?!"

Hearing that person's words, suddenly, several friends were speechless.

I have to say that "Magic City Fortress" is indeed a big blow to all audiences who are looking forward to domestic science fiction movies.

During the publicity, they kept promoting the first domestic sci-fi masterpiece, but it turned out to be a bait.

At the beginning, all the audiences who walked into the cinema with high hopes and wanted to watch an "Avatar" only saw a group of Smurfs

Although they are all blue and have similar shapes. But it's not the same thing at all!

And it has only been half a year since this incident happened, and the memory of most audiences has not been so bad. So, facing another movie that is advertised as a domestic sci-fi giant, who has the confidence to take another gamble?

The Xu brothers didn't care about the life and death of domestic films, and they fished in the dry lake in order to make a profit for themselves. Unexpectedly, they just happened to cheat "The Wandering Planet". For them, it was a wrong shot.

This kind of dialogue has always been discussed among large and small moviegoing groups across the country.

Whether it is the lessons learned from "Magic City Fortress" or Director Zhang's warning words, anyway, many viewers who like to watch movies, for various reasons, did not put "Wandering Planet" in the New Year's Day movie viewing list.

Among them, Director Zhang's new work "The Ferryman" has benefited the most.

How to choose a movie when you need to watch a movie but don’t know whether a movie is good or not?

Of course, look at the director and cast of the movie.

And "The Ferryman" is the most luxurious production team on New Year's Day this year, and even throughout the year.

The director is one of the top three directors in China.

The four leading actors are from Hong Kong City and the Mainland, and the three major actor plus one actress.

ip is adapted from the novel of the best-selling author of these years.

This movie condenses almost all the elements of the explosion.

In addition, Director Zhang said that this film has devoted his efforts for several years, and it is a classic that he believes cannot be reproduced, so the audience's sense of anticipation is of course bursting.

Therefore, when the pre-sale of the New Year's Day holiday movie started in mid-to-late December, the pre-sale data of "The Ferryman" skyrocketed.

In just three days, the pre-sale box office of "The Ferryman" exceeded 200 million.

In comparison, "Wandering Planet", the pre-sale box office is only 50 million.

You know, in terms of the proportion of the film schedule, the two films have crushed other films, accounting for about 40% of the theater line's film schedule. But the pre-sale box office gap has doubled.

A week later, the pre-sale box office of "The Ferryman" reached 300 million.

The pre-sale box office of "Wandering Planet" only exceeded 80 million.

You know, although "The Ferryman" has a strong lineup, the cost is not high because most of it is actor fees and shooting fees. The full calculation is only 120 million.

The cost of a sci-fi mega-production like "The Wandering Planet" is exaggerated, because Chen Yan used [Xiaoha's Polaroid] to take pictures of the potential of this movie and knew it would be a big hit, so he really poured money into it without a bottom line.

In order to make the film more realistic and atmospheric, Chen Yan even asked the director to set up a small live-action base in Qindao.

Coupled with the post-production special effects costs, the total production cost came to more than 300 million.

The cost is three times that of "The Ferryman", but the pre-sale box office is only one-third of that of "The Ferryman". Everyone who saw this result almost predicted the fiasco of "Wandering Planet".

In the past two years, the momentum of Chenlu Films making one hit and one breaking the record 3 has finally eased at this moment.

Many people in the entertainment industry who don't like Chenlu Films can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although many practitioners in the film and television industry dare not speak harshly, when discussing privately, they gloat a little,

"Morning Dew Films has had too much momentum in the past two years. The success rate is too high. This failure is actually normal. It's understandable."

"That's right. Not all good works are his family's, right? One "The God of Medicine" and one "Eternal Flower" a year are enough. It's not good to be too greedy."

"However, what I didn't expect was that the project with the highest cost was actually thrown away. This will lose a lot of money, right?"

"It's not too much to lose. Their "Medical God" also made money."

"That's true."

In addition to discussing the development of Chenlu Films, there are also many discussing domestic sci-fi films,

"Sure enough, our domestic film and television industry doesn't have the genes to make sci-fi movies. The Xu brothers rushed, and now even Chenlu Films has rushed."

"Hey. Yeah. Are we doomed to only watch Hollywood sci-fi movies?"

"It can't be helped. Our development is really not good."

For a movie, on the premise that there is no problem with the film schedule, the pre-sale data is not ideal, the audience is not optimistic, and the practitioners are not optimistic. Normally, it should have been decided.

However, when everyone was not optimistic about "Wandering Planet", some people who observed carefully discovered a very strange thing.

That is, the pre-sale results of "Wandering Planet" are obviously not good, but its film schedule has not been greatly adjusted.

Generally speaking, theaters are the most realistic.

Whether a movie is good or not, and whether or not it gets a seat is directly related to their interests.

Because the theater chain is a physical industry, it has a lot of costs such as rent and labor.

If a bad film is ranked high, then they will suffer a lot of losses every day.

Therefore, if it is found that the audience does not like a movie, then they will adjust the film schedule very keenly and quickly, and replace it with a blockbuster movie to increase attendance.

This is a rule that the film and television industry knows very well.

However, this time it was different.

After the pre-sale data came out, although the film schedule of "Wandering Planet" in the first two days dropped a bit, the strange thing is that from the third day onwards, the film schedule of "Wandering Planet" increased instead.

Moreover, on the fourth day and the fifth day, the film schedule is steadily increasing.

This abnormal behavior is simply puzzling.

Obviously the pre-sale results are not good, but instead increase the film schedule?

Did the public relations of Tiandu Culture Publishing Company play a role?

Was it the connections of Lu Man, Yang Rou, Song Chuang, Mei Meili, and even Chen Yan?

Or are the theaters really optimistic about this movie?

Everyone who paid attention to this detail couldn't figure out the specific reason.

However, soon, the third reason was denied by those caring people.

Because, after discussing for a while, everyone discovered how many movies that theaters have been optimistic about in recent years, but did not hit the blockbusters.

The theater chain will not take such a big risk to promote the popularity of a movie.

So, is it the first reason or the second reason?

When interested people are puzzled by all this, Chenlu Pictures is not idle. He didn't just sit back and watch the situation go from bad to worse.

One week before New Year's Day, Lu Man publicly took the platform of "Wandering Planet" on Weibo, appealing to his fans and audience to watch the movie "Wandering Planet".

Although Lu Man is not the leading role in this movie, but in Weibo, she used her character to guarantee that this movie will definitely be a masterpiece, and it will not lose to "The God of Medicine". masterpiece.

Lu Man's appeal played a certain role.

On that day, the pre-sale data of "Wandering Planet" did increase a little.

However, soon, the Xu brothers began to guide the situation.

They blamed Lu Man for the bad things they did on "Magic City Fortress" half a year ago.

Many marketing accounts posted that the reason why Lu Man gave the "Wandering Planet" platform without a bottom line is because the production cost of "Wandering Planet" is too high, which is more than 300 million.

Lu Man is the major shareholder of the company and also participated in this movie. He has to be responsible for the performance of the movie, and there is a lot of pressure to pay back.

Therefore, she wanted to stand up and publicize on Weibo, and deceive as many viewers as she could.

As long as enough people believe in her, the movie can pay off.

As for, will this ruin her reputation?

Is word of mouth important, or the interests of hundreds of millions?

Chenlu Pictures gave Lu Man so many shares some time ago, isn't it just to let her jump out to recover the company's losses at such a time?

What these marketing accounts said was well-founded, and many people who saw it couldn't help but feel that the truth of the matter might really be like this.

In addition, after getting Xu Zhaorong's instruction, Director Zhang continued to openly and continuously belittle "Wandering Planet" on Weibo, so gradually, the momentum of "Wandering Planet" pre-sale just improved and sank again .

This made Lu Man, who had just returned to Qindao after running the publicity campaign, almost pissed off!

When she gets angry, Chen Yan suffers.

So, for two days on the weekend, Chen Yan was locked in the room by the little goblin Lu Man and squeezed hard.

In addition to some clear and crisp sounds coming from the room, it was Lu Man's nasty voice, "Squeeze you! Squeeze you! Squeeze you!! I'm so mad!"

After Lu Man got angry, even though Chen Yan's physique was already +9, he was a little bit "overwhelmed" and "died" several times.

After venting her anger on Chen Yan, Lu Man nestled in Chen Yan's arms, pouting aggrievedly, drawing circles, and asked, "Chen Yan, tell me, am I Kefu?"

Hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan was taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Man said aggrievedly, "Look. You just set up a film and television business group and gave me 15% of the shares, and the movie went viral."

"Isn't this all sui by me?"

Chen Yan patted her perky little butt, and said earnestly, "That's not called Kefu. That's called mold possessed."

Lu Man raised his head, blinked at Chen Yan, and asked, "Are you saying I'm uneducated?"

Chen Yan:? ? ?

Are women's minds so weird?

Or, only this funny thinking is so strange! ?

However, before Chen Yan could figure it out, Lu Man turned over and yelled, "I'll squeeze you to death!"

Then, he pounced again!

For some reason, at that moment, Chen Yan always felt that Lu Man had four 2.

Time passed day by day.

The scolding battle between Lu Man and Director Zhang continued.

The battle between Chenlu Pictures and the Xu brothers is also quietly continuing.

And whether to watch "The Ferryman" or "The Wandering Planet" on New Year's Day is also getting hotter and hotter on the Internet.

The time will soon be New Year's Day, the day when the two movies will be officially released
