Chapter 72 The Threshold of a Masterpiece!
Black articles usually magnify the black spots of a TV series or an actor infinitely, and then send water troops to wreak havoc on the Internet.
And the main force is these self-media people, which is the main way for big bloggers to make money.
But "The Crucible" has such a good reputation now, it seems to be a masterpiece.
Buying quality black articles again is pure stupidity.
Those self-media people will not accept such black articles that destroy their own jobs and lie with open eyes.
Lin Qiu's background has long been exposed, and it is true that he is backed by capital.
Without capital, can "Love Letter" and "The Crucible" be filmed?
When "Love Letter" was released before, the "Legend of Snow City" party tried it.
The result is that the actors of Chang'an Film and Television Company stood up to support Lin Qiu, and there was no gap at all.
But as the saying goes: "If there are conditions, go on, if there are no conditions, create conditions and go on!"
Unable to suppress the reputation of "The Crucible", Fenghua Film and Television Company quickly came up with a solution.
Just three hours later, the comments from many self-media bloggers were posted online one after another.
…
[Chengren Film and Television]: There were trembling moans everywhere in the deep fog. What made people despair was not the movie, but life itself.
"The Crucible" must be a masterpiece that will be recorded in the history of Xiazhou!
Seriously speaking, even so, I still don't recommend movie fans to go to the cinema to watch it. Our lives are hard enough, aren't they?
Compared with "The Crucible", I recommend "Murder in the Snow", which is full of suspense and is also a masterpiece.
…
Similar press releases appeared on the Internet one after another.
First praise, then don't recommend!
It is because of the heavy subject matter that many originally hesitant audiences suddenly gave up!
The masterpiece is undoubtedly a masterpiece. Looking at the ratings of major self-media, you can see that it is almost all good reviews, and there has never been a rating lower than 9 points.
But most movie fans watch movies to relax and have fun. Is it really necessary to go to the cinema to be tortured?
Fenghua Film and Television Company doesn't care about word of mouth or not. The box office is the hard truth!
The quality of "Murder in the Snow" itself is not bad. Once it wins over "The Crucible" at the box office, they can use Ye Zhiyuan to suppress Lin Qiu in public opinion.
Even if they fail to suppress it, they will also gain a large wave of traffic. Why not?
Faced with such a press release, Changan Film and Television Company will naturally not sit idly by and immediately launch a propaganda counterattack.
Movies in the same period are definitely not just a confrontation of film quality.
…
As the reputation of "The Crucible" ferments, more and more movie fans enter the cinema.
But they all enter with a smile and leave with tears!
The defense-breaking value that this movie can accumulate, because of the large number of viewers and the depressing degree of the plot, far exceeds that of online novels and the previous "Love Letter".
And with the release of the ratings of "The Crucible" on the Movie software, the reputation of Lin Qiu and "The Crucible" has reached its peak!
"Director Lin! The ratings are out!"
After another roadshow, Jiang Hao in the car excitedly raised his mobile phone to Lin Qiu and raised his mobile phone.
"How much?"
"6!"
Hearing this score, Lin Qiu smiled calmly, as if he had expected it.
The moment the film was presented, Lin Qiu knew that the score of this movie would definitely not be low.
The previous life's "The Crucible" had a high score, and the film scores in this world are generally higher than those in the previous life.
In the previous life, 0 points was the threshold for a masterpiece, and in this world it is 5 points.
As for the box office, Lin Qiu is difficult to predict, this type of movie box office is generally not a big hit.
But with a reputation and accumulated popularity, it can't be too low.
The production cost of "The Crucible" is about the same as that of "Love Letter". Even with the high publicity costs, a few hundred million will definitely make a profit.
It's another big profit.
"The total box office is expected to be 1.9 billion."
"It's not high."
Jiang Hao sighed, a little regretful.
Chen You leaned back in his chair and laughed and scolded:
"Are you not satisfied with 2 billion?"
"For such a serious subject, what do you need?"
"There are few movies that can reach the level of masterpieces that have box office success."
As themes that expose social reality, "The Crucible" and "Dying to Survive" have completely different tones.
The former is depressing from beginning to end, and it is normal that many movie fans are reluctant to go to the cinema.
Generally speaking, art films and drama films are frequent visitors to the ranks of masterpieces.
It is difficult for commercial films and popcorn films to enter them.
"Director Lin, what do you think?"
"It is always the most difficult to make a popular art film or a commercial film, because they all have to be compatible."
"For an art film to get a high box office, it is necessary to introduce a niche text into the mass genre. This "The Crucible" is obviously not this tone."
"The estimated box office of 2 billion is more than I expected."
Lin Qiu said easily.
In the world of movies, art films and commercial films are often not absolute.
Just like the masterpiece "Titanic" in the previous life, it is a movie that perfectly combines art and commerce, and finally achieved a terrifying box office of more than 2 billion US dollars in the world film industry.
After that, Lin Qiu's phone vibrated. It was a message from Ye Zhiyuan.
...
The movie is the effort of the entire crew.
Whether it is Lin Qiu or Ye Zhiyuan, they kept running roadshows in various cities to promote the movie after the movie was released.
"Murder in the Snow" scored 7 points at the beginning. It is also a good movie, but it is inevitably inferior to "The Crucible" with 6 points.
The New Year's Day schedule is not a big schedule.
But the competition between these two movies for the box office is far more intense than expected. They are completely on par with each other and take turns to lead the single-day box office.
Although the subject matter of "The Crucible" is too serious, the box office momentum is average.
But "Murder in the Snow" is a suspense theme, and it is not a popular theme...
Same here.
As for "Edo Battle Royale" by the famous Yingzhou director Matsushita Fumio, its reputation was completely blown away by the above two films, and it did not meet the expectations of movie fans at all.
"Zhiyuan, next year's Lunar New Year schedule is a big schedule."
"How do you think of the script I sent you before?"
"If there is no problem, it can be prepared for filming after the new year."
In Fenghua Film and Television Company, Ye Zhiyuan's agent Tang An asked Ye Zhiyuan.
"I read it."
"The script is very ordinary."
"It can't be changed."
Ye Zhiyuan doesn't like to tell lies.
The company spent a huge amount of money to get the script this time. It is called "Chinatown Detective", a comedy film with a suspenseful appearance.
"I knew you would say that."
"But the company asked you to shoot it, there is nothing I can do."
"The lead actor is Fang Zhou, and the movie has a strong ability to harvest box office. During the Lunar New Year period, if this comedy is well made, it will have a box office of at least 5 billion."
Tang An is the agent assigned to Ye Zhiyuan by the company.
After getting along with each other for a few years, I know Ye Zhiyuan's personality quite well.
"Brother Tang, you should know that I have never been interested in this kind of movie."
"Of course I know, but your contract is here. What's the benefit of having a falling out with the company? Aren't you afraid that the company will put you on ice?"
"No."
"You——"
