Chapter 978 Two Consecutive Box Office Disasters! Feng Gangpao Fired the Big Gun Again? The New Owner of the White Palace

Chapter 978 Two consecutive box office disasters! Feng Gangpao fired the big gun again? The new owner of the White Palace...

"I really want to curse that damn Feng Xiaogang. Is this the movie you recommended? It's really a stupid thing. I almost vomited after watching it!"

"I want to ask Brother Chen Kai a question now. Is "Legend of the Demon Cat" also from the same origin as "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk"? If so, I will blacklist this movie in advance."

"I have discovered that I must never listen to the comments of those film critics in the future. This movie is really bad! What the hell is 120 frames? ? Even I, who is not prone to 3D motion sickness, can't stand it, damn! "

"This may be the worst movie in November. My husband and I went to see it together. I fell asleep while watching it, and he went out for a walk before finishing it. Director Li An? You also made a mistake once!"

"No wonder Xu Ke's "The Legend of Zu" was a mess. He and Li An have completely the same style and don't understand the new technology at all."

...

All day long, looking at the Internet, most netizens were complaining about the pictures of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk".

Many people actually went there with expectations, just wanting to see what the 120-frame, 4K, and 3D projection mode was like.

After all, there were too many people who boasted about this technology before.

However, after everyone really watched it, they found that this movie was simply too bad!

The high-standard projection mode not only did not add any bonus to the movie, but instead caused dissatisfaction and disgust among many fans.

Now, the entire film and television industry has been scolded.

Especially Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Wang Jing, Xu Ke and others who had been promoting the film vigorously online before, were directly hit by a boomerang, and the comment area was already filled with curses.

This situation continued until the morning of the 12th.

When the report "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" closed at 25.39 million on the first day of the box office" appeared, the entire film and television industry became more and more silent.

Such a large scale of publicity, coupled with the publicity of half of the film and television industry, and more than 30% of the screening schedule of major theaters, it only brought in 25.39 million box office...

Isn't this a joke?

And the most important thing is that the word-of-mouth score of this movie has dropped to 7.3 points, and it seems that there is no chance of saving it.

"What is the average screening schedule of theaters today?"

In Bona's office, Yu Dong's eyes were fixed on the secretary in front of him, and his hoarse voice was like the roar of a devil, which made people feel cold all over!

"Mr. Yu, today... today only 19.6% is left."

"Dropped 10%?"

"Yeah."

The heavy breathing sounded suddenly, and the uncontrollable anger began to rise in his heart...

Yu Dong asked in a deep voice: "What did Poly Cinema say? There is no feedback on the specific audience experience report? What went wrong with this movie?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The secretary responded while opening the handheld tablet and placing it on the desk.

Yu Dong lowered his eyes and saw a large piece of dense text appeared in front of him.

"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" is still quite interesting in terms of plot, but the film's 120-frame projection technology is not successful.

This film combines Li An's different film styles, just like Life of Pi and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which are all Li An's continuous exploration and pursuit of the 'new possibilities' of lens language.

However, although the film has a relatively good theme, the script has flaws, especially the vulgar and stale dialogue, and the first-person lens makes it really difficult for the audience to accept..."

After watching only half of it, Yu Dong raised his head.

What he said next would definitely not be friendly, and it is very likely to make him lose his mind, so he must not continue watching.

"Where is Li An? Ask him to come to the company."

"He has already flown to Hollywood last night. The selection of the next Oscar has entered a white-hot stage. Sony has asked him to cooperate in the award public relations."

Hearing this, Yu Dong's originally serious expression suddenly eased a lot.

In fact, in his cognition, compared with making commercial films, Li An is better at making literary and artistic award-winning films.

For example, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust, Caution".

Even "Life of Pi", although this movie seems to have a good box office, it is still essentially an art award-winning film.

Therefore, even if Li An's previous works did not have high box office, the income from copyright alone was enough to save the production costs.

Thinking of this, Yu Dong immediately arranged: "You go to contact Li An's team and tell them that Bona will assist "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" to make every effort to win awards, so that they must not forget that we still have support in China..."

As long as this movie can win an Oscar, the copyright will definitely be sold at a high price!

At that time, even if the movie is not good at the box office, the cost can be recovered by copyright income!

"Okay, Mr. Yu, I'll arrange it now."

The secretary responded and hurried out.

However, seeing the office door closed, Yu Dong's originally somewhat excited mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

This year, Bona released two blockbuster films, namely "The Legend of the Gods" in the summer vacation and "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" in November.

But so far, neither of these two movies has made a profit at the box office.

This horse riding is very cheating!

Especially the former, it almost screwed Bona to death!

In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the upcoming financing party.

"Hey, what happened in the past few years? It's been a bad year, and I'm really following the devil..."

Yu Dong cursed nonchalantly, and after a moment, he picked up his cell phone and dialed Song Ge's number.

Two movies in a row have been scrapped. Now he has to ensure that there are no problems with "The Trilogy of the Gods". Otherwise, Bona may be in bad luck this time!

…

On the 11th, 12th, and 13th, three days passed by in a hurry.

When time successfully entered a new Monday, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" shocked the entire film and television industry with a score of 79.83 million!

Even a group of insiders who had supported the film before its release were scolded for three days, which was not to mention how miserable it was.

"Brother, look, Feng Xiaogang is insulting someone again!"

On the 14th, as soon as Chen Fei came to the set, he was dragged into eating melon by Han Jianu.

"Oh? Really? He posted on Weibo again?"

"Yes, yes, hurry up and read it before he secretly deletes it."

Han Jianu excitedly handed Chen Fei her mobile phone, and then took Liu Yifei to the dressing room to prepare for today's styling and makeup.

At the same time, Chen Fei's eyes had fallen on the mobile phone screen.

I saw Comrade Feng Gangpao Xiaogang actually published an article directly under his Weibo account.

Let’s not mention the content. Just looking at the title, there is a faint smell of “Gonghuo”!

"Audiences, when will you know how to appreciate good movies?" 》

"Oh! I'm talking about you people. Sometimes it really makes me laugh or cry. A good movie obviously contains deep meaning and emotion, but you can't understand it. You still say something like "This movie was made with a blank look on your face." What? "It's boring. I can't understand it." "

I'm just wondering, is this a problem with the movie or a problem with you?

Do you know that movies are an art that need to be experienced and felt with your heart, not those fast-food entertainment products that you can just watch to pass the time.

A good movie has its own soul, its own thoughts, and its own emotional expression. It requires the audience to ponder, understand, and resonate with it.

But what about you?

Sitting in the cinema one by one, holding popcorn in hand, staring at the screen, but just mechanically receiving the pictures and sounds, the mind is blank, not thinking or feeling at all, and then when the movie is over, you shake Shake your head, say "I don't understand", then pat your butt and leave.

I'm really impressed by you! How can you enjoy a good movie like this? How can we understand the deep meaning and emotion behind the movie? Aren't you wasting the efforts of filmmakers like this? Aren’t they living up to their creative enthusiasm?

Let me tell you, good movies are not for "understanding", but for feeling! It requires you to experience it with your heart and feel every detail, every emotion, and every thought; only in this way can you truly appreciate the charm of the movie and truly appreciate a good movie.

So, audience friends, please don’t say “you don’t understand” so easily! Please watch the movie with your heart, feel the movie, and resonate with the movie.

I believe that as long as you work hard, you will be able to understand those good movies and appreciate the infinite charm of movies..."

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Three minutes have passed...

Chen Fei stood there in a daze, holding his cell phone in his arms, looking at Director Feng Da's "shocking and weeping" remarks. He was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time!

He really wanted to open Feng Xiaogang's head now and see if it contained paste or something else?

As a creator, you don't care about the feelings and preferences of consumers, but you actually educate consumers and say they don't understand what a good movie is?

Isn't this horse-riding looking for death?

To put it bluntly, Feng Xiaogang is just bringing out a bowl of "Xiang" that smells bad, and then forcing passers-by to say that it is fragrant, and asking passers-by to rush to buy this bowl of "Xiang"...

"Tsk, tsk, it's really unexpected that you would seek death to such an extent!"

Chen Fei sighed with emotion, turned off the phone screen, and walked straight to the set.

He couldn't read anymore. If he continued to read, he was afraid that he would be "stunned to death" by Feng Xiaogang's outrageous remarks!

At this time, Huayi is here.

No matter how good-tempered, big-hearted, or calm Wang Zhongjun was, he couldn't help but start behaving violently in the office.

"What does he want to do? What does he want to do? What does he want to do by seeking death to this extent? Ah! Who can tell me what on earth he is thinking?"

Listening to this roar, Ye Ning, who was also in the office, couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Originally, the distribution work of "I'm Not Fan Jinlian" was very difficult to start. Now that Feng Xiaogang has done this, the next work is even more difficult.

Looking around, the Internet is almost going crazy!

"You bastard Hushu Bao, you don't care if the labor and management can enjoy the movie. Anyway, the labor and management will not go to see your movie!"

"Today was really an eye-opener. The director scolded the audience? Hey, that's really ridiculous."

"I call on everyone to boycott this movie and suppress the box office first. Let's see if this old boy is in a hurry."

"Anyway, our whole university at East China Normal University will not go to see it. Feng Xiaogang led netizens to bully us online. Now the truth is out, and he didn't even say an apology. There is definitely a big problem with this person's character!"

"I kind of know why he named the movie "I'm Not Fan Jinlian" because he is Ximen Qing himself! He should be hacked by Wu Song!"

Huayi.

The office door was pushed open violently, and Wang Zhonglei rushed in quickly, shouting quickly: "I have contacted Feng Xiaogang, he just deleted his Weibo..."

"What's the point of deleting it now? Netizens are almost going crazy. He is simply seeking death!"

Looking at his angry elder brother, Wang Zhonglei was also a little worried now: "What should we do now?"

"What should I do? What else can be done..."

"You two, I have a solution here."

Ye Ning's sudden voice made both Wang brothers dumbfounded.

Both of them turned their heads and looked at him.

Wang Zhonglei took the initiative and asked: "Mr. Ye, what is your opinion? Why don't you tell us and let's discuss it together?"

"If you want to suppress a hot search, the best way is to trigger the next hot search and make netizens take their eyes away from the current matter..."

Wang Zhongjun frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Ye Ning said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to start the promotion of "The Death of Romance" and "Journey to the West: Demons" in advance. Using these two movies should attract some people's attention.

And according to the current news on the Internet, the results of the new presidential election on the other side of the ocean will be announced tonight. I believe this hot event will also attract the attention of some people. "

After hearing this suggestion, Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun glanced at each other subconsciously, and nodded in unison.

"Okay, then just do as Mr. Ye said."

"However, you two still need to appease director Feng Xiaogang first. I hope he will try not to speak out online before the premiere of "I'm Not Phan Kim Lien", otherwise things will be really uncontrollable. "

"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with him!"

Wang Zhongjun's mood suddenly changed and suddenly became extremely bad; he secretly swore in his heart that he must give Feng Xiaogang a good warning this time to prevent him from causing trouble to Huayi in the future!

He is not afraid that Feng Xiaogang will be disobedient. After all, there is a gambling agreement worth up to 1 billion. This is the best shackles!

Once he loses, no matter how tough his mouth is, Feng Gang will still lose everything!

…

The 14th just passed away quietly amid Feng Xiaogang’s posting and deletion operations, as well as the responses from a large number of netizens.

To be honest, when it comes to the people who admire Feng Xiaogang the most in the industry, Wang Lepong is definitely one of them!

At least when it comes to hot searches, the former is definitely the most awesome in the entire entertainment industry!

Even though Tang Yan won the Golden Eagle Goddess of the Year last month, which triggered a scolding war among a group of fans of post-85s actresses, it was not as exaggerated as the hot search he created today.

This person seems to be born with the ability to attract hot searches. This is the ultimate contrast with Wangpi Pants.

Returning to the villa in the evening, after washing up, Liu Yifei went to the living room and turned on the TV and watched the costume-themed TV series "The Young Lady" starring the couple Luo Jin and Tang Yan.

Chen Fei was lying on her soft thighs, waiting for the grand appearance of the "big news"!

The time soon came to 9pm.

When the two episodes of "The Young Lady" ended, the news from the United States officially came to China, triggering waves of sensation and heated discussion!

No one thought that the new owner of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was actually the "businessman" who started out in real estate!

This news is really shocking and has undoubtedly affected countries all over the world.

What the major domestic political media are most concerned about is that the businessman increased trade restrictions and various sanctions immediately after being elected.

For a time, companies involved in foreign trade were in a panic.

Chen Fei also began to receive phone calls one after another.

Some called from Natasha, some from Zhou Shouzi, and some from the heads of other companies under him...

As for the concerns expressed by these people, he had only one reply: "Be patient and wait for good news!"

Time passed slowly, and soon it came to 10 o'clock.

Finally, the call he had been waiting for came across the ocean to his personal mobile phone.

Pressing the connect button, Chen Fei said softly: "Leon?"

On the other end of the phone, the voice of Leon Walras, the current president of Longxiang Capital Group, who started out by controlling stocks and operating finance, and after years of hard work, has successfully expanded its power to various sectors of the old American national economy and new high-tech industries. Slowly sounded:

"Boss, I met with that person half an hour ago."

Listening to the relaxed tone of Leon Walras on the other end of the phone, Chen Fei leaned gently on the back of the sofa and crossed his legs: "Leon, I hope to get some good news from you."

"Haha, of course, all the news I bring is good news."

"You can compile the rest into one email and send it to me. I just want to know if I can attend the 90th Academy Awards in 2018?"

"Boss, I need to tell you that you will not only be able to move freely in Hollywood in the next four years, but even the entire American door will be open to you!

You don't have to worry about him doing something unexpected, because he is not just a pure politician, but also a businessman, and the most taboo thing for a businessman is credibility. Once there is a problem with his credibility, he will be finished."

"Haha, good! Leon, thank you very much for the good news you sent me."

"This is my job, Boss."
