Chapter 776 We Don’t Want Clowns

"Haozi, what do you think about the slow growth of the box office of Wolf Warrior 3?"

After the photo shoot, it was a routine interview. This question is a hot one, and it is also a heart-breaking question for Chen Hao. The second film earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office, becoming the champion of the Chinese film history. The third film started high and ended low. After the first weekend, it earned 800 million yuan at the box office. From the second week on, there was a very big drop, and the box office dropped to 30 to 50 million yuan a day.

There is no problem with word of mouth. People don't think this film is bad, and they don't think there is any problem recommending it to people around them, but there is an indescribable feeling. It seems that whether you watch it or not, the loss is not big. Perhaps the only surprise is ZERO played by Chen Hao.

The box office is more than 1 billion, which is very good. The 2 billion mark in the future release cycle is a very small mark, but compared with the second film at the beginning, it is obviously lacking in stamina in the same period of the previous year. It is almost impossible to surpass the box office of the second film.

In this state, the audience must find a scapegoat according to their own ideas. What is the reason that the box office of the third part cannot catch up with the second part? Under the rhythm of some black fans, Chen Hao became one of the scapegoats. Isn't it said that you, Haozi, are a lucky star at the box office? How is it now? You joined "Wolf Warrior 3" and played a very important villain, which had an impact on the box office of the film. In the second part, you were a supporting role, not important, just to be funny, and had no impact on the box office. Now you are the villain, and all your performances are set off by Wu Jing's performance.

There are many people who want to find fault with Chen Hao. As an artist, the more hardcore fans you have, the more black fans you have. The more people you like, the more people you will hate.

The company gave Chen Hao a more smooth official answer to this question, but he refused it himself. It's always smooth sailing. It's okay to experience some storms occasionally, or to say that you have washed away the lead and tasted different flavors. Do I have to avoid such questions? You underestimate me too much?

"Maybe it's because of me that the overall perception of the film is affected, which is why the box office performance is not very good."

Some people just want this kind of answer? I'll give it to you.

Do you really think that I, Haozi, can't bear a little negative news? I still have to thank you? There are too many people who want to find me as a spokesperson, too many people who want to find me to film, and too many people who want to find me to attend events. You should quickly discredit me and let them give up their choice of me. I have enough to eat with my own stall. I am too busy to handle this. Please help me reduce the burden quickly.

Shameless, shameless - those who discredit him will immediately find words to respond to his current words. You have become a box office poison. Don't you feel guilty towards Wu Jing and the investors?

Be brave to take responsibility and be generous - those who are biased towards Chen Hao will cheer and worry about him. Haozi, don't be too kind. Those bastards will not be as kind to you as we are.

In fact, everyone knows that for a series of movies, if you can't derive peripheral products and let the peripheral products replace you to implant in the hearts of the audience, then even if the expectations are high, the film you can present will not achieve the effect they want.

Why can superhero movies last forever, why can Harry Potter be a large series of movies? The peripheral products are well made and affect the audience in real life. When a sequel comes out, everyone has become accustomed to their company, even if the movie is just the same routine, they can accept it. In other words, the series of movies is made into a brand, such as the 007 series.

The Wolf Warrior series, as a military-themed film, has basically reached its peak state. If you don't make peripheral products and the brand is not established, when your sequel cannot meet everyone's super high expectations, there will be a corresponding decline in box office. Is the sequel good? Compared with the previous ones, it is not bad, but in terms of box office, it is impossible to have the same crazy performance as the previous ones. Your wonderful performance will make people unforgettable for a lifetime. If you play it again, if you still do it on this basis and do not establish your own brand, it will be difficult to really play it out. It will even be compared with the previous ones and people will constantly find faults with this one.

In Chen Hao's heart, the third movie can have a box office of more than 2 billion, which is really very good. Wu Jing himself is also very satisfied. What he is afraid of is that the audience has too high expectations for him. Let alone more than 2 billion, a film he wants to make, more than 10 billion is enough to make him very satisfied.

He understands the principle of slow and steady flow. If he really wants to sit in such a high position, he himself feels dizzy and confused. His real level is not up to that height. As a director, he is still a rookie. He doesn't want to be put so high. It's good now. It can make money and have a good reputation to satisfy all aspects. It's good.

It's really not that easy to sit at the top. In fact, Wu Jing is eager for someone to surpass his box office. He wants to be able to shoot some stories that he wants to shoot and get a satisfactory box office. This is what he wants.

Talking to Chen Hao on the phone, Wu Jing can only apologize to his younger brother as a big brother for taking the blame. We are brothers, and you have been wronged.

……………………

"Wolf Warrior 3" is still in theaters. It can't break the record, but it won't stop it from leading the holiday box office.

"Descendants of the Sun" was officially launched on Lele and Youku for a fee, and was also broadcast on Shanghai Satellite TV, Mango TV and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV for the second round. From the ratings to the online click-through payment, it is still a big shot in the TV drama market. The peripheral products of Jing Dashao Joyous Times have made money, and small factories across the country have also made money. Their copycat versions are not slow at all, and they can be regarded as making a small profit in this trend.

Don't look at the awards won by the movie, but in the hearts of girls, the image of Captain Liu is the most in line with their positioning of Chen Hao. The group of young girls who are obsessed with Chen Hao also love him to death because of "Descendants of the Sun", which also led to their reservations about Chen Hao taking on the villain. When the role of the clown was known to the public through interviews, these fans felt even more wronged and stood up for Chen Hao. Why should we let Haozi play such a role? It's so disgusting, and the hair is not good-looking, and so many things have to be applied to the hair, especially the feeling on both sides of the mouth, which is scary and disgusting.

While standing up for the injustice, they also hope that Chen Hao can respond to them. In the live broadcast room, many groups suddenly appeared to send gifts, and their goal was to make Chen Hao show up. They really couldn't stand Chen Hao's appearance in "Batman: The Dark Knight". You see, he is also the villain in "Wolf Warrior 3", but he is handsome enough. Although he is the evil side, everyone likes his cool and bad look.

But what is this clown?

When idols dress up ugly, they will be questioned by fans. At first, Chen Hao didn't care too much. He was going to use the usual way to slowly calm down the voices, and give everyone a surprise after the role comes out, and let everyone support it by looking at the recognition of the role.

But this time, the waves of doubt are a bit big. The key is that the role he plays is really too "smeared" for him in terms of image. You say that Men Saner is a decadent middle-aged man, at least there is that masculine aura, and there is also a performance showing muscles. Everyone thinks this is very manly and can be accepted. What about this clown?

After an interview with Chinese media and an interview with American media, the image of the character played by Chen Hao, the Joker, was passed on by these media. The reaction in Hollywood was normal. No matter how big a star is, he is an actor. Sacrificing some personal image for the role is not only not a point to be criticized, but should be praised. This is the attitude that an actor should have.

In China, the young girls among the fans are not happy. Chen Hao is their oppa, their dream lover, and the man they dream of at midnight. They want to download all his posters and photos on their mobile phones to serve as screen savers and for their own viewing. They also put some of his posters on the walls of their homes, collect his CDs, download his live videos to the computer and mobile phone, and take them out from time to time to watch.

Suddenly, the image has changed so much that some of them can't accept it. This is Chen Hao destroying his own image to act. The fans are just questioning and unhappy. If it were someone else, no matter who it was, they would have been torn into countless pieces by these female fans. If you dare to destroy my Haozi like this, don't blame me for tearing you apart.

Chen Hao was happy at first because of the intense reaction. He just accepted the interview with a good look, and it had such a big response from the audience, which meant that the Joker he portrayed was successful.

Later, the incident became more and more serious, and the voices became more and more intense. Chen Hao knew that he could not sit still. On Saturday, he got up in the morning to adjust his state, and went to Lele to start the show in the morning to give back to all fans. He also took this opportunity to explain to everyone why he took the role of the Joker and did not want the storm to continue to expand.

After washing and blowing his hair, he asked the hairdresser to make a temporary hairstyle with his hair back. According to this hairstyle, he wore a tuxedo and a bow tie. Except that his hair was not dyed completely golden, he was almost like the young people of the great nobles in Europe in the past, full of that kind of classical attraction, with his forehead completely exposed, stretching his tough facial features a little, so that he would not look so hard.

"So handsome!"

With a sunny smile on his face and a spirited look in his eyes, he waved and said hello to everyone after starting the live broadcast. The opening of the live broadcast wiped out the gloomy clown image in the previous news reports, which made some people think that it would be good if Haozi dressed up like this, giving us a completely different feeling.
