Chapter 416: Which Movie Is Screened Like This?
On March 13, because they were worried that the popularity would be too high during the 315 period, they announced the release date in advance.
Many people were surprised by the release date, but they also felt that it was reasonable.
"There were rumors that "Going to Heaven" was going to be released during the Qingming Festival, and now it seems to be true."
"In fact, I think the box office of "Going to Heaven" will not be very good."
"Don't say that, everyone thought that Lin Xing's first two movies would flop, but didn't they still do well in the end?"
"It's different. This time it's the Qingming Festival holiday in April, which is not suitable in April. I really think this "Going to Heaven" will flop."
...
After "Going to Heaven" was announced to be released on April 2, many people didn't have much expectations for this movie. After all, the funeral industry is so niche, and it's also an art film, which is a sure-fire flop.
However, because this movie is starring Lin Xing, it's different.
You know, Lin Xing has never failed.
Because of this, many people are really paying attention to Lin Xing.
With "Killing Ading" and "Sunspots", Lin Xing has reached a peak in these two art films.
But no one can guarantee that they will not fail in the film industry.
Just like many old artists now, they also produced phenomenal works one after another, but now they still fail? ?
For this reason, there is no inevitability in this circle.
It can even be said that there is no certainty of success in TV series and movies, and many times people cannot always be undefeated.
It is precisely because of this that everyone wants to know whether Lin Xing can continue to be undefeated in this film.
Many people even think that if Lin Xing can continue to be undefeated in this film, then he is really cheating.
The most discussed by everyone is still about Lin Xing.
This belongs to the top flow of traffic.
In the next few days, "Going to Heaven" was carried out according to normal publicity, and everything was almost the same as the publicity of "Killing Ading".
Even the premiere was exactly the same.
On March 25, the official Weibo account of "Going to Heaven" once again announced that it would be screened in a small area in the capital on March 27 and March 28.
And this time, the preview was only in 5 cinemas, and each cinema had only two screenings in the morning and afternoon.
You should know that many movies now basically regard previews as official releases, and the screening schedule of many movies has reached 30%.
But "Going to Heaven" is not like that, and its preview is even only a little bit.
Not only that, this time the preview of "Going to Heaven" in the 5 cinemas in the capital is free.
After all, there were not many screenings.
Lin Xing also forwarded the official V of "Going to Heaven" and wrote: "I still want to hear the most authentic evaluation of the movie "Going to Heaven", and don't worry, you just need to sign up to watch it, you don't need to force good reviews."
"6666, it seems that "Going to Heaven" is really confident."
"Indeed, my God, this is the first time I have seen such a preview."
"But I just want to ask Lin Xing if he is really not afraid of messing up by doing this?"
"Good guy, this is a direct preview in the capital, and it's only a few days away from the official release, but what's the use of such a small range of word of mouth?"
...
So far, the official V of "Going to Heaven" has been done according to normal publicity, and Lin Xing has not spoken.
No matter how much the outside world doubts Lin Xing, or even how many people are pessimistic about "Going to Heaven", Lin Xing still has no response.
However, Zheng Zhou and others from the "Striving Era" crew expressed their concern when they had dinner with Lin Xing.
"Axing, are you confident about this movie?"
Zheng Zhou asked Lin Xing with concern: "Actually, I didn't agree with you when you first said you wanted to make this movie, mainly because Qi Ning offended Ouyang Qing, and I admire your understanding of the script..."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "Of course I have confidence in the movie, who doesn't have confidence in their own work?? But the final result still depends on the market."
Zheng Zhou still said with some admiration: "But Axing, you dare to take such a subject matter, which is very strong in itself. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
To be honest, although Zheng Zhou is not afraid of Ouyang Qing, he doesn't want to make enemies with Ouyang Qing if he can.
After all, Ouyang Qing's mind is not ordinary small.
But there is no way.
Lin Xing gave face so much, you can't always take advantage of this circle, everyone is not a fool, if you always take advantage, then who would be willing to get along with you? ?
For this reason, Zheng Zhou also said to Lin Xing: "If you need help, just let me know."
Not only that, the official Weibo of "The Age of Struggle" and a group of main creators all reposted the official Weibo of "Going to Heaven".
Obviously, the main purpose is to help promote it.
However, even Zheng Zhou did not expect that the film would be scheduled so early, and it would be screened in advance.
What was even more unexpected was that the preview was opened like this.
"Axing, I still want to advise you. There are many people who stab movies behind the scenes. If you don't control the comments like this, the movie will be easily discredited."
Zheng Zhou finally thought about it and said.
As for director Hu Yan, she thinks Zheng Zhou is right: "Movies use many more techniques than TV series. I didn't understand them well at first, so I was really fooled when I entered the film industry."
Hu Yan already had a good reputation in TV dramas, but she ended up filming a movie, and this movie really had a bunch of actors, almost all of whom were actors.
Of course, Hu Yan only used actors from the TV drama industry, and there are quite a few who are the first brother to watch the emperor and the queen to watch. In Hu Yan's opinion, these can definitely boost the box office.
The result was good.
It really made Hu Yan never want to make a movie again.
The final box office of this movie was less than 10 million, and Hu Yan was hacked from the beginning, and the movie was smeared by everyone.
Therefore, as someone who has experienced this, Hu Yan wants to advise Lin Xing to be cautious.
Not everyone can do spot screening.
For this, Lin Xing also expressed his gratitude on the one hand, and then said: "This is really not what I wanted to do, it was Meng Yan who was in charge of the distribution."
Of course, Lin Xing agreed.
He always feels that today's celebrities are bankrupt. If you invite a large number of celebrities to promote the premiere, it is really useless.
In this regard, we know that the idea is right since "Killing Arden" does not involve celebrities to support it.
But this time Meng Yan decided to copy the path of "Killing Aden" in "Go to Heaven".
Of course, this kind of copying still needs to be a little different. After all, after "Killing Arden", those copied movies like "Why Live" are all on the street.
Many times it is not possible to succeed just by copying.
In any case, Zheng Zhou, Hu Yan, Tang Zhong and others have good intentions, so Lin Xing does not need to explain anything to them.
On the one hand, he just expressed his gratitude, and on the other hand, he also said: "I'm afraid I will have to take at least a month's leave for the upcoming road show of "Going to Heaven."
no way.
Again, in the movie "Going to Heaven", only Lin Xing is a popular artist and has a lot of topicality. The others are currently less interesting.
And now there are only a few actors in "Going to Heaven", be it Wei Fei or Wang Lu, these are all kept secret for the time being.
After all, Lin Xing just wanted to wait until the screening to let the audience reveal the secret.
For screenings, Lin Xing does not need to go to the scene.
"Going to Heaven" is officially released on April 2nd, and the premiere is also on April 2nd, so Lin Xing will return to the Imperial Capital on April 2nd.
In this section, Lin Xing was in a wheel-and-wheel style of filming, and most of the scenes followed him.
This is normal.
Lin Xing is the male lead, and it can be said that everything in the entire crew revolves around Lin Xing.
He has the most scenes and the most lines. All the actors need to surround Lin Xing.
It's also true that Lin Xing really can't rest for more than a few hours a day. After finishing the daytime scenes, he still has to prepare for the evening scenes.
Many times, Zheng Zhou said worriedly: "Axing, why don't you take a break? You can film your scenes after you come back from the road show."
"Need not."
Lin Xing declined. For Lin Xing, his body could still withstand it, and he did not think that his condition was bad.
Of course, Lin Xing didn't show off too much.
He still directly said to Tang Zhong, Zheng Zhou, Hu Yan and others: "If you feel that my condition is not good, then tell me directly. If you do something wrong, you must also tell me."
There is no difference between Lin Xing and other crews in this scene.
That is to say, he will never act like a big name. Not only does he not act like a big name, Lin Xing doesn’t even want a RV. He usually waits on the set when filming, and when he is not filming, he discusses the drama with other actors.
When everyone looks at Lin Xing, how can other people have the nerve to make demands? ? ?
In this way, the filming of "The Age of Fighting" actually went quite smoothly.
Until today, March 25, "Going to Heaven" directly stated that screenings had begun.
But this kind of screening really refreshed the understanding of the audience and the industry.
Whose movie is screened this way? ? ?
"I don't understand why Lin Xing is so confident about this movie??"
"Not only do you not understand, I don't understand either. Is Lin Xing really not afraid of throwing himself into the street??"
"I still think energy is conserved. If nothing else, Lin Xing has never been defeated, so it's time for him to lose once."
…
At present, many people are somewhat mocking "Going to Heaven", but more people are aroused curiosity.
Because screening shows your confidence in your own work.
But in a literary film, there are no other superstars except Lin Xing. You know, nowadays literary films often have to have two superstars.
So everyone thinks that "Going to Heaven" is a bit too reckless.
As for the invitation to screen "Going to Heaven", many film critics, big Vs, celebrities and some passers-by who like to watch dramas in the imperial capital hope to be selected.
In addition, Lin Xing's fans also got a few tickets, but they didn't grab them themselves, they were given away.
Just like Zeng Li, Da Mao and others, after all, they have always tried their best to help Lin Xing manage the support club.
More importantly, they are voluntary helpers.
Unlike other presidents of fan clubs who treat their fan clubs as leeks, whether they are Zeng Li, Da Mao, or the presidents of other fan clubs, they all work for love.
There is absolutely no transaction or business with the fan club.
Sometimes, if you put yourself in their shoes, Lin Xing feels that she is not worthy of being liked by everyone.
That's why Lin Xing asked Ding Chunling to take out 50 movie tickets and gave them directly to Zeng Li and Da Mao.
As for who goes to the movie, it is Zeng Li and Da Mao's business, and Lin Xing doesn't have to worry about it.
That's why Zeng Li, Da Mao and others really have tickets, and they are really looking forward to "Going to Heaven".
As fans of Lin Xing, they believe that this movie will definitely set another record.
It's just a mindless belief.
This time they got the preview, so naturally they thought about going to see how it is. Not only that, they all used the tickets to the extreme.
You have to know that the preview of "Going to Heaven" cannot be bought with money.
Many times, it's not terrible to be able to get it with money. What's really terrible is that you can't get it with money.
Just like this time.
Even Lao Zhong said on his Weibo: "I really didn't expect that "Going to Heaven" would be screened in such a so-called preview, and you don't need to tag me to draw movie tickets for everyone, because I don't even have movie tickets myself."
" x-on:Going to Heaven, hurry up, I'm calling you guys."
"Happy, x-on:Going to Heaven, you don't know Lao Zhong's Weibo traffic, can't you give Lao Zhong a few movie tickets??"
"To be honest, Lao Zhong is a real Lin Xing die-hard, but even he doesn't have a ticket, so I feel balanced."
...
Obviously, everyone was a little surprised about the preview of "Going to Heaven", and some people think that "Going to Heaven" is probably worried about its own reputation.
But no matter which one it is, it doesn't matter, because the preview of "Going to Heaven" will start today.
This time, "Going to Heaven" is considered a flop by many people, and it's not like "Sunspots" when everyone thought it was a rescue.
And this time, the movie market is not very good, April is already very cold, and generally blockbusters will not choose this period.
Because of this, when "Going to Heaven" was scheduled, everyone was quite calm.
In April, if "Going to Heaven" really had a box office of 100 million in this market, it would be quite amazing.
You know, it is not easy for a movie to exceed 100 million, especially for art films, which can be promoted after 100 million.
It's just that "Sunspots" broke 2 billion first, so everyone will compare "Going to Heaven" with "Sunspots".
This comparison is naturally demanding.
In the Imperial Capital Cinema, many people who came to see "Going to Heaven" had the same idea.
