Chapter 496: No Pretense, All Are Capable of Making Things Happen
To be honest, Lin Xing really doesn't want to comment.
On the one hand, he was invited anyway, so it's really inappropriate to say that he went to criticize the movie.
On the other hand, Lin Xing really thinks Wang Ruoan is dedicated enough. It's rare for him to work so hard at this age.
But if you ask Lin Xing to praise, he really can't do it.
Because the shortcoming of "Dangerous Liaisons" is very obvious, that is the script. The entire movie script is completely unreliable. The explosions all the way in the back seem very cool, but they make people aesthetically fatigued.
The most important thing is that the temptation between Wang Ruoan and Guan Qing was not shown at all, and the plot was pushed forward by explosions in the end.
When encountering difficulties, explosions.
When encountering difficulties and contradictions, explosions.
Even when celebrating at the end, there was an explosion.
The last 50 minutes were basically explosions all the way. The agent played by Wang Ruoan seemed to be a superman with a cheat, and the basic logic was completely ignored.
For Lin Xing, the first hour of the movie was pretty good, even the explosions didn't steal the show, but it did steal the show later.
The movie can't be said to be bad, but it's not that good either. It can only be said that it's too hard to find a good screenwriter.
The screenwriter of this movie is Wei Liang.
In other words, "Dangerous Liaisons" is a movie written and directed by Wei Liang himself, so it's no wonder that he shed tears on the scene and said how difficult it was.
Because of this, Lin Xing didn't want to comment too much.
But obviously after Lin Xing finished speaking, the host didn't let Lin Xing go.
This time, Lin Xing didn't know the host of "Dangerous Liaisons", and Lin Xing thought his hosting skills were okay.
"Teacher Lin, we know that your next movie is a science fiction movie that you will work with Brother An..."
The host took care of Lin Xing, and he thought it was a promotion for Lin Xing.
After all, Lin Xing brought the crew of "Parallel Cohabitation" to the premiere, which had just been introduced, but Lin Xing and Wang Ruoan were about to shoot "Death on Earth" and hadn't mentioned it yet.
Because of this, bringing it up at this time can be considered as a promotion.
The host meant to help Lin Xing promote "Death on Earth". At the same time, since Lin Xing did not comment on "Dangerous Liaisons", it would be okay to mention Wang Ruoan.
"I don't think Wang needs my comment. Anyone who has watched this movie knows how hard Wang works."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "I think Wang is in his prime at the age of 65, so I hope Wang doesn't need to retire. Action movies need you to continue to shine..."
Lin Xing's last words can be said to have made everyone laugh.
You know, now people are in their prime at the age of 30 or 40, but Lin Xing's "65 is the prime of life" really maximized the effect.
Not only that, this topic has already become a hot search before the premiere is over.
After all, someone has recorded Lin Xing's speech video.
Not only Lin Xing, but everyone who spoke before was recorded, such as Yang Tian, Ren Yi, Guan Peng, and Guo Haishan was also recorded in the video, as well as some other stars.
Of course, everyone's comments are basically the same in online discussions.
As for Yang Tian's comments, her fans are crazy about it because everyone thinks Yang Tian is illiterate.
Because many of Yang Tian's premiere speeches seem to be almost the same, as if they are universal formulas.
But Yang Tian's fans controlled the comments and said: "You don't even know what "Dangerous Liaisons" is, but you start to blacken our Tian Tian. It seems that Tian Tian's performance in "Parallel Cohabitation" really scares some people."
This is the inertial thinking of the fan circle, and Yang Tian's traffic is indeed large. Originally, the Internet was tearing up because of her speech, and then Lin Xing's speech appeared.
"Wow, Lin Xing's statement is really not surprising. Does he think that "Dangerous Liaisons" is not good?"
"I think it is more likely that it is not good, otherwise why doesn't Lin Xing want to talk???"
"But to be honest, I am quite interested in this movie, because I want to see what it means to be '65 years old is the prime of life'."
"That's right, Nima, Brother An is already 65 years old, and Lin Xing actually said that he is in the prime of life, which really makes me interested."
"Lin Xing is really a living person in the domestic entertainment industry. He came to the premiere of "Dangerous Liaisons" and still didn't praise it as usual, and he only praised Wang Ruoan."
"It can be seen that Lin Xing came to the premiere of "Dangerous Liaisons" because of Wang Ruoan."
...
With Lin Xing's speech at the premiere, it directly rushed to the hot search list.
You should know that Lin Xing didn't say anything about the movie "Dangerous Liaisons". He didn't say that the movie was bad or good. He just commented on Wang Ruoan.
# 65 is the prime of life # This trending search directly rushed to the top of the topic list.
This would be impossible without the promotion of the film company.
However, the popularity of the discussion was not bought by the film company. The film company did not even expect that people would buy tickets just because Lin Xing did not comment.
"Originally, I didn't want to watch it, because many people praised "Dangerous Liaisons" and I felt it was really boring, but Lin Xing's comment made me interested."
"Yeah, what does it mean that '65 is the best age to fight'? I believe Lin Xing's evaluation. Since Lin Xing said that this fighting scene is good, I have to watch it no matter what."
"In fact, I was a little bit looking forward to this movie at the beginning. First of all, this movie is produced by Wei Lu, and Brother An said it is the last one, so I have to watch it no matter what."
...
For the promotion of "Dangerous Liaisons", Lin Xing's statement is equivalent to the statements of dozens of stars.
After the premiere, Wang Ruoan originally wanted to have dinner with Lin Xing, but Lin Xing knew that "Dangerous Liaisons" would officially enter the promotion period. At this time, Wang Ruoan, as the male lead, would be very busy, so Lin Xing said that they would meet again when "Death on Earth" started.
In this way, Lin Xing took the actors of "Parallel Cohabitation" to dinner together.
"Axing, do you think "Dangerous Liaisons" will be a hit at the box office?"
During the meal, Ren Yi asked Lin Xing: "You didn't want to comment at the premiere because the movie is not good?"
Guan Peng also said: "Yes, I think "Dangerous Liaisons" should be okay, I enjoyed watching it."
Yang Tian said: "I don't like it very much, I think it's a bit too messy."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "I don't know if the box office will be good, this often does not depend entirely on the movie itself."
Ren Yi was puzzled: "What do you mean???"
Lin Xing said: "The success of many movies depends on the schedule. A good schedule will make the movie "time, place, and people" all occupied, but if the schedule is not good, even if the movie itself is good, it may still fail...
In a word, the box office performance of "Dangerous Liaisons" during the National Day is actually not determined by this movie, but by Guo Shi, Ouyang Qing, Sharp and others.
If the three movies "A Good Man", "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" and "Customized Couples" are of good quality, then the possibility of "Dangerous Liaisons" wanting to be a hit is extremely low.
Not to mention the other movies.
After all, the entire National Day holiday lasts for 7 days, and everyone wants to fight over the filming schedule. It is impossible for the audience to watch all of them. They will definitely watch the one with the best reputation.
In this case, if the three movies "A Good Man", "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" and "Customized Couples" are not bad, then the possibility of "Dangerous Liaisons" box office explosion is almost small.
"That's right."
Ren Yi nodded lightly: "Master Guo's current box office appeal is unique, and Sharp has always been known as "general volume", not to mention that although Ouyang Qing has been complained a lot, the main theme of the movie has always had a basic market. From this perspective, "Dangerous Liaisons" is still quite dangerous."
Wu Qifeng said: "I feel that the box office in the film industry is often a metaphysics. Who dares to guarantee that these three movies will not fail?"
Lin Xing agreed: "Brother Feng is right. In general, it depends on the situation on the day of release."
In the next two days, the preview strategy of "Dangerous Liaisons" can be said to be a great success.
Because there were few previews, the publicity and promotion were controllable. In addition, they used a group of marketing accounts to create momentum. The current predicted box office of "Dangerous Liaisons" is close to 2 billion.
"Dark horse, no wonder "Dangerous Liaisons" dares to preview, it really has the confidence, this movie is too strong, there is no boring moment throughout."
"This is the most enjoyable movie I have seen this year. I think this movie will definitely be the box office champion of the National Day."
"Seeing that Wang Ruoan is still so good at fighting at this age, I think it is really worth the box office. Lin Xing is right. It is really the best year to fight."
...
The two-day preview did make the reputation of "Dangerous Liaisons" go in the direction of publicity and promotion, which is a word-of-mouth fermentation.
At this time, there are only 4 days left before the National Day, and the premieres of other movies have also started one after another.
First, it was the premiere of Guo Shi's "A Good Man". The staff wanted to invite Lin Xing to participate, but Lin Xing declined, saying that he was not free to shoot a movie.
The premiere of "A Good Man" was also star-studded, even Guo Hai attended.
Guo Hai recently accepted an interview and said that he was experiencing life because he was going to act in Master Guo's new movie.
At the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, Master Guo said that he was going to invite Lin Xing and Guo Hai to act in a movie together.
But now the invitation to Lin Xing has become a blank check, and Guo Hai is about to join the crew.
At the premiere, Guo Hai also said that Master Guo's production must be a masterpiece, and this movie is too explosive.
In short, the publicity of "A Good Man" is also fierce.
Nowadays, movie premieres must be on the hot search.
Then Guo Hai's comments on "A Good Man" were also on the hot search.
This is the recognition from the Hundred Flowers Award winner.
The new Hundred Flowers Award winner and Master Guo are sympathetic to each other, and one cannot write two Guo characters.
In short, the publicity of "A Good Man" is still quite lively.
And the other films are also quite lively.
Lin Xing was also invited to promote the film "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" directed by Ouyang Qing, but Lin Xing declined.
Ding Chunling suggested that Lin Xing go, after all, it could buffer the relationship with Ouyang Qing, and everyone would be happy.
But Lin Xing thought it was unnecessary, because he was afraid that if he saw that "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" was not good, he would criticize it? ?
Because Lin Xing is particularly annoyed by directors who have taken advantage of mainstream movies, because he thinks they are not serious about filming, always carrying their own agenda, and even completely abandoning some major issues, and instead making idol commercial films.
This is what Lin Xing is most unhappy about.
Ouyang Qing, as a big director, has made quite a few mainstream movies in recent years, and the box office is also good. Even if you scold him, his box office is still strong.
As I said, the plate of mainstream themes is still quite large.
Although Lin Xing did not go, Qi Ning did.
You should know that Qi Ning has become one of the most anticipated new directors since the movie "Going to Heaven".
Now Qi Ning doesn't even need to attract investment or anything, countless film and television companies want to invest in Qi Ning.
It is said that Qi Ning's new script is about to be written, and he is about to prepare for filming.
At the premiere of "Anti-Japanese Unretreat", Qi Ning had a very high opinion of the film after watching it, and even said that he cried. He remembered the hardships of the revolutionary martyrs, and he thanked Ouyang Qing for filming such a theme so that everyone would remember history.
Then Ouyang Qing also refuted the rumors on the spot, saying that there was really nothing between him and Qi Ning, and he was not so unwilling to listen to any opinions, etc.
The two of them seemed to have forgotten their grudges with a smile.
Anyway, it was a matter of each taking what they needed.
As for "Customized Couples", it goes without saying. The promotion of this film is "100% general content".
There are also many people who say that comedy must be watched by Sharp, and even Sharp said in an interview that he did make some bad movies in the past two years, and he disappointed everyone, but this time he hopes that everyone will like it and live up to the audience.
In 4 days, basically all the premieres that were scheduled for premieres were premiered, but the art film "Wrong Love" directed by Wang Qing did not premiere, and the film did not even have many trailers, as if it was covered up.
Next, the first day of the National Day schedule is out.
Ouyang Qing's "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" topped the list with 22% of the schedule, followed by Guo Shi's "A Good Man", which also reached 20%.
Sharp's "Customized Couple" ranked third, with a schedule of 16%.
The schedules of the three movies are not surprising.
As for Wang Ruoan's "Dangerous Liaisons", it and Wang Qing's "Wrong Love" have a schedule of 9%.
The other films divided the remaining schedule.
Even though "Dangerous Liaisons" was screened in advance, it was still not favored by the theaters.
