Chapter 393 Lin Xing Is Not Trustworthy, Box Office (Asking for Monthly Tickets)
On June 16, a small-scale screening of "Sunspots" was held on Weibo Movies, and everyone thought that this movie had great staying power.
"Lin Xing really went for the Best Actor award, and his performance was so heartbreaking."
"Director Ning is really amazing, I never thought that Director Ning's movie really evolved again."
"This movie fully proves that as long as Liu Jing acts well, he is still quite strong."
...
Many people gave good reviews to the movie "Sunspots", because this small-scale screening is not just for the industry.
In the past two years, Weibo Movie Night often invited a group of big Vs, that is, movie big Vs to review and share, but the effect was not good.
After all, most of the movie big Vs now are just for food, and they don't know how to evaluate fairly, impartially and objectively, and most netizens know this.
For this reason, no matter how much they praise a movie, it's useless because the audience doesn't buy it.
Just look at why the summer season is so cold this year.
Because most movie fans no longer believe in the so-called propaganda.
This time, Lin Xing made suggestions to Ning Ping and Bohai Film and Television Publicity, that is, no matter what, we must invite ordinary people to watch this movie.
We can invite some big names in the industry, but not all of them.
So at the small-scale preview of Weibo Movie, in addition to the high evaluation of the film by the industry, even many ordinary people are also very optimistic about the film.
Obviously, the evaluation of ordinary people is often more pertinent. Although there may be some so-called personal preferences, 40 out of 50 ordinary people recommend this movie, 5 think that this movie is depressing but Lin Xing's acting is really good, and the remaining 5 think it is rubbish and incomprehensible.
Then this is the normal reaction to watching a movie.
At the same time, Lin Xing also suggested that people from Bohai Film and Television conduct data statistics, that is, send out 100 questionnaires, and then let the audience rate the movie.
This is to be able to count who these audiences like to watch, and which part they are not satisfied with, whether they are willing to introduce it to others, etc.
In short, this questionnaire must be made.
Of course, Lin Xing is an actor, he just cooperates with the publicity, he will not take on too much responsibility, after all, there was no way to make "Killing Ading" at the beginning, that was his own investment, and Bohai Film and Television was unwilling to operate it at all.
Of course, Bohai Film and Television regretted it so much that they were ready to learn from experience and lessons for this "Sunspots".
Lin Xing knows how to promote.
This is what the industry thinks. Even Meng Yan, who was responsible for the publicity of the movie "Killing Ading", praised Lin Xing. She even thought that 90% of the credit for the success of the publicity of the entire "Killing Ading" should be attributed to Lin Xing.
This is really not Meng Yan praising Lin Xing. When she finished talking about one thing after another, everyone also felt that what Meng Yan said was actually true.
Because of this, Bohai Film and Television directly challenged Lin Xing in the publicity this time. Everyone is in the same boat, so Lin Xing, don't be polite.
Just as Liu Jing, Feng Cheng, Luo Yuan and Lin Xing said.
It's time, Lin Xing, you should take the lead.
But Lin Xing can control the publicity, but it's impossible to be fully responsible for publicity.
On the one hand, Lin Xing declined, but on the other hand, as he said before when talking to Bohai Film and Television, everyone is in the same boat.
Everything is for the box office.
At present, "Sunspots" directly took almost 30% of the schedule on the first day, which is the first schedule.
Think about it, when "Killing Ading" was released, they were satisfied with getting 10% of the schedule.
As a result, this time Bohai Film and Television took 30% directly.
Moreover, "Sunspots" did not intend to grab the schedule at the beginning, and even relied on word of mouth to get the schedule.
Because Bohai Film and Television's distribution capabilities are not ordinary, not to mention that they have their own cinemas.
Another point is that Bohai Film and Television has actually suffered losses before, that is, they obviously thought that this movie was good, but it flopped when it was released.
For this reason, Bohai Films simply did not screen the film in advance this time, and even the premiere was directly concentrated on Weibo Movie Night.
In short, it is a typical release today, June 19th.
It has already started at 9 o'clock in major cinemas.
Because of this schedule, more people are thinking about supporting it no matter what.
Moreover, the road show of "Sunspots" has not yet started. Today, the main creators are preparing to continue to airborne cinemas on the Dragon Boat Festival.
That's right, just like when "Killing Ading" was released before, they directly contacted the fans up close.
Look, in Hall 3 of Bohai Cinema, after the opening, the director of "Sunspots" came to the stage together with Lin Xing, Liu Jing and others.
"Oh my god!!"
"Nima, there is such a benefit."
"Oh my god, I really didn't expect that we could meet the main creators."
"This is really a pleasant surprise."
...
Many audiences at the scene were a little excited.
"Excuse me for disturbing everyone."
Lin Xing once again guest-starred as the host. He said apologetically: "We just want to talk about the movie up close with you, but we don't force it. If you have anything else, you can leave from there. , and at the same time, in order to express our apology, we will give you a gift, you can just take it when you leave..."
No one left at this time.
Are you kidding me? ?
After finally meeting a big star, who would be willing to leave? ? ?
What's more, for many people, it is really difficult for them to meet big stars, especially when watching movies.
"Okay, since everyone won't leave, let's talk about this movie together..."
Lin Xing said to everyone: "Do you have anything to ask?"
Next, someone naturally asked: "Hello Lin Xing, I am your fan, and I would like to ask you what you think of the character Zhao Xiaodao?"
Lin Xing thought for a while and said: "I have said before that Zhao Xiaodao himself can have a bright future, but everything was ruined because of his impulse, which also changed his life, so many times Don’t do the wrong thing…”
This is what Lin Xing said is a positive movie.
Of course, everyone present did not agree with this.
What kind of positive energy is this? ?
The male lead was directly executed by lethal injection.
Also healing.
Cured a chicken.
Not only that, Luo Yuan and Feng Cheng also ended badly. Luo Yuan and Lin Xing were executed by injection together, and then Feng Cheng himself jumped into the sea and died.
In short, all died.
According to what Lin Xing said, this is a punishment for doing something wrong. You must know that they caused the family to be wiped out.
Even Zhao Xiaodao got interested first, so the girl died directly, and then the next thing happened.
Just when Lin Xing was chatting about the movie with everyone at close range, Weibo became an explosion.
kindness.
This one is really explosive.
"Sunspot" does have great staying power.
"Damn it, this is the first time I've seen someone being executed by lethal injection in a movie theater. Lin Xing is so awesome."
"The Zhao Xiaodao played by Lin Xing is really different from his previous roles. This role is really heartbreaking."
"I actually want to know whether Zhao Xiaodao raped or not, but I think there was no rape in the movie, but the girl was killed, and then the fourth person killed everyone."
"Yes, they have been running for so many years, and then they became fathers. Three men became fathers together. Lin Xing said in an interview that this is a movie that teaches you how to love others. It is simply nonsense."
…
There are a lot of discussions on the Internet about "Sunspot", in addition to Lin Xing.
You must know that Lin Xing always does not follow the routine when he is interviewed, and it is the same this time.
At the beginning of the interview, Lin Xing said that this was a positive movie, and that this was the first time he was a father in a movie. At the same time, it was a movie that taught people to learn well, and the ending was also healing.
Turns out it’s really fuck you.
You can’t believe even a single punctuation mark in what Lin Xing said.
If this movie is considered a literary and artistic film, it is indeed quite qualified. Not only is it qualified, it is even a relatively sadistic literary and artistic film.
Have you ever seen the three protagonists all killed in a literary film? ?
It's in this movie.
Moreover, the male lead was directly injected with a lethal injection.
Just to put it bluntly, this was really hard to believe before.
Lin Xing's acting skills are really strong.
Lin Xing does play a villain, but of course he is not a villain. His character is quite contradictory.
Not only that, before the movie was released, many people thought that Lin Xing relied on his so-called homosexuality to win awards, but after watching the plot, everyone did not think so.
This is a type of plot.
In short, the character of Zhao Xiaodao is really suffering, his inner suffering, because he did something wrong, so he made more and more mistakes in the future.
He even wanted to die in the end.
Only if he and Qi Ming die, can Ding Lei be safe, and even the daughter they saved can survive.
There is a more critical point, that is, they cannot face this child.
After all, the three of them killed the little girl's entire family.
In this way, as the two sessions in the morning ended, the discussion of "Sunspot" soared.
The key to whether a movie can be a hit or not is whether everyone has the passion to discuss it.
Now obviously there is.
Is Zhao Xiaodao a good person? ? ?
He is a murderer, does he count as a good person just because he did good things later? ?
It's not certain whether he is a murderer or not, but he saved countless people as an auxiliary police officer.
This is the most discussed online.
And the fourth actor, Hong Zhao, was praised by many people.
Because the acting was so lax.
It was as if he really was a murderer, and even his confession seemed like a documentary.
Everyone thinks that this "Sunspot" should not be bad at the box office.
But that’s what they say, but no one knows the final box office number.
At present, the discussion of "Sunspot" is soaring. This is because the characters in this movie really have their own charms.
What acting school? ?
You only need to look at Luo Yuan, Feng Cheng, Liu Jing, Lin Xing, and even Hong Zhao, Guo Jun, and Ding Deng in "Sunspots".
Each of their performances is so relaxed, and even in Ning Ping's movie, everyone's performance is so surprising.
The current reputation in the morning is very good.
"The feedback from various cinemas is that the attendance rate in the morning is also very good. Although it is a morning show, today is the Dragon Boat Festival after all, so most young people want to watch this movie..."
Ning Ping, who was eating and preparing for afternoon activities, said with a smile while eating: "With a 30% screening on the first day, if the first day exceeds 100 million, it will really refresh the box office record of art films."
"It is still very likely."
The person in charge of publicity and distribution also said in a good mood: "The main reason is that the market has been cold for too long. Now when everyone wants to go to the cinema during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are actually only a few movies..."
There are several new films released today, but many people have been desensitized to Hollywood blockbusters, and they are no longer the first choice for young people.
Except for "Sunspots", the other films have less screenings than "Sunspots", but they have all reached more than 10%.
In short, the cinemas hope that these films can save the market.
More importantly, everyone hopes that "Sunspots" can save the market.
Many managers of major cinemas have seen this movie. They think that this movie has great staying power, but it is not suitable for festivals after all.
Who likes to watch a tragedy during festivals? ? ?
But the publicity of "Sunspots" has always been positive, especially the publicity expresses that you should not go the wrong way and learn to love others.
This is the routine of art films.
Of course, Bohai Films originally wanted to use "Love Homosexuality" as a publicity gimmick, but Lin Xing suggested that it would be better not to.
Because this is more niche, he does not discriminate against homosexuals, but what you need is a comprehensive consideration of the pros and cons.
If you want a higher box office, then you should not think about taking the niche route.
So, today's publicity is for the Dragon Boat Festival on the one hand and Father's Day on the other.
After all, "Sunspots" is about three fathers and one child.
Who would have thought that an art film would actually promote fatherly love? Some people even said after watching this movie: "I understand why the country allows births, because having children can really reduce the crime rate. If Zhao Xiaodao and the other two hadn't raised children, would they have become better? Would they have thought about surrendering and dying?"
Good guy.
You don't say it.
Although this view is a bit fucked up, it is indeed relatively reasonable.
