Chapter 428 Don’t Let People Tell the Truth Anymore?

Shen Xudong's blog was written on the night of the 22nd. On the 23rd, it was reprinted in major forums and websites...

After all, even if they were sarcastic in the past, the most common comment from netizens was 'bad movie'...

As for what kind of bad method...

At this stage, most netizens are very simple and cannot find specific adjectives.

It's rare that Shen Xudong speaks so sharply and criticizes "The Promise" in all aspects...

After all, this kind of movie has only been a hot topic among the people for only three years, and there are very few experienced movie fans.

As for those who know something, they generally say: "The Promise" is a mirror, it reflects the appearance of all living beings!

Even the critical remarks are that "The Promise" does not adopt the "old-fashioned" commercial model. It is different from Hollywood and the Eastern movies that took the international route in the past. Instead, it creates a heretical The "poetry-drama" film style has thus become an artistic heresy in the world of film circles today. ’

Well, I’m talking about artistic heresy!

Shen Xudong directly expressed his evaluation: A bad movie, a piece of shit that looks delicious!

Moreover, he also coined his own terms such as ‘powerful’ and ‘delicious shit’.

This is so interesting!

Paper media also reprinted it…

How did Chen Hong respond?

Oh, this time, she casually said, "No one dares to comment on Director Chen. Have you ever won the Palme d'Or?" ’

She felt that it was okay for her to say so...

It’s also true!

Moreover, she is very busy, busy negotiating with theater chains... and also publicizing the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Unfortunately, the effect was not good, because the theater chain gave "A World Without Thieves" 45% of the film schedule, and the film schedule of "The Promise" was cut in half, leaving only 28%, and the remaining "A Thousand Miles Alone", "The Great Sage" 》…

And...the first day box office was great: 17.6 million!

Although it is not as good as the 19 million on the first day of "The Promise"...

However, "The Promise" enjoys the exclusive treatment, while "A World Without Thieves" enjoys much less exclusive treatment!

After all, many units book "A World Without Thieves" once a year and failed to catch up...

Compared with the amazing box office of "A World Without Thieves" on the first day, "The Promise" took a big dive, with 28% of the films scheduled and only achieved a box office of 4.2 million...

——Why watch bad movies when you have something to choose from?

When Chen Hong saw this data, his hands shook...

It went down too fast!

Currently, the box office of "The Promise" is 120 million...

Judging from the trend, we can probably get between 180 and 200 million. If we guarantee to schedule the film and use the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars to hype it up, the probability of breaking 200 million is still very high!

Oh, the box office target of "The Promise" was originally to exceed that of "Hero", but after its release, it became more than 200 million.

Looking at it now...the theaters will definitely support "A World Without Thieves" more!

After all, it sold 17.6 million on the first day, and it has a great reputation and popularity.

On the contrary, "The Promise" was criticized as a circle...

The release of "A World Without Thieves" was a request from the film bureau, and she couldn't say anything.

Look again?

…

The promotion of "A World Without Thieves"...

Just running road shows and appearing on TV.

You have no other way, you can't hype up the scandal, right?

"A World Without Thieves"...has no suitable target for hype at all!

Oh, Shen Xudong's criticism of "The Promise" can be a publicity point...

The problem is...he doesn't respond!

When asked by the media, he said, 'This is just my family's opinion. I drank some wine that night and couldn't hold it back, so I wrote an article! ’

"Director Chen is a director I respect very much..."

'What? Chen Hong...response? ’

'She can say whatever she likes. Anyway, I think...'

Feng Xiaogang couldn't help coughing: "Ahem..."

"Oh, it's okay!"

Then, no matter what the media said, he just refused to respond and took the initiative to chat about "A World Without Thieves"...

Feng Xiaogang didn't mention "The Promise" at all. He got desperate and said, "This is the promotion of "A World Without Thieves". If you want to ask about "The Promise", you can go and interview "The Promise".

Well, Director Feng knows Director Chen’s energy very well!

The film industry is complex. Director Chen and his son are both directors of BJ Film Studio and know all kinds of experts, scholars and seniors in the industry.

Who dares to provoke him?

Therefore, Liu Yan is worried about being banned...

Isn't that obvious?

Let's put it this way, in many state-owned enterprises and public institutions, there will be people like this. They graduated from well-known universities when they were young. In an era when college students were rare, they were put in high regard by the leaders as soon as they arrived at the unit, and they were more or less Made some achievements.

Do you think these people have any status in the unit? Of course there is. After all, he is from a prestigious school, has made achievements in his time, has senior qualifications, and is familiar with previous leaders. In fact, the top leader of the current unit or the main leader of the superior unit may be his friend back then...

Everyone should be polite when meeting him - firstly, to give the current leader face, and secondly, to show that he respects his elders.

The film industry is similar, and more closed. Another thing is that Director Chen did not just make a small achievement that year - he won the Palme d'Or with "Farewell My Concubine" and brought glory to the country!

There is no benefit in offending such a person!

Director Feng helped Shen Xudong analyze it carefully, and then said: "His character is very different, so don't worry about his response... The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is still yours!"

"Yes, I know…"

"...Those media just want to stir up trouble..."

"I know…"

Shen Xudong was actually a little scared, after all, the energy was amazing!

But... on the Internet, he is still commenting objectively on "The Promise"... In reality, I am submissive, but on the Internet, I punch hard!

On the 24th, another article was posted titled "Not allowed to tell the truth?" 》

More than 800 short essays, central idea: I think everyone has the right to evaluate a theater movie... After all, theater movies make money from movie tickets. How come we, as consumers, don’t have the right to discuss the quality of the product? !

Why so tough?

Because "Steamed Buns" is coming soon!

By the way, let's promote "A World Without Thieves"...

…

The 24th is Christmas Eve, and theaters across the country are full.

Especially at night, theater halls across the country are full of people queuing up to buy tickets, and even all-night theaters are basically full.

The box office was released the next morning. "A World Without Thieves" earned 24.55 million with 52% of the film schedule, "The Promise" earned 7.5 million with 25%, and the third place was "A Thousand Miles Alone" with 5.5 million, and "Love" ranked third. "The Great Sage" also recorded 2.8 million.

Well, the box office of "A World Without Thieves" exceeded 40 million in two days...

It once again set a new height for Feng Xiaogang’s movie box office...

Andy Lau, Gong Li, and Chen Hao finally have time to come over and promote...

Shen Xudong is finally no longer the focus of media attention.

Even if he posted a new blog, few reporters would ask. After all, Gong Li was filming "Carol" to compete for the Oscars, and...

After "Memoirs of a Geisha" was released in North America, it received poor reviews and poor box office results. Many reporters wanted to know the specific situation...

Of course, it wasn't like no one was paying attention to Shen Xudong. Director Feng asked, "Why are you still writing? Are you really not afraid?"

"Director Feng, let me show you something."

Shen Xudong did not answer, but turned on the computer, pulled out the downloaded "Murderous Case Caused by a Steamed Bun", and added by the way: "This thing was first spread on the forum, and now it has been uploaded to major video websites!"

"what?"

"Prank video..."

"What?"

"You'll know when you see it!"
