Chapter 500 Thanks to Lin Xing, the Spring of Action Movies? (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Can't afford to lose.
At present, Ouyang Qing has almost become a joke in the National Day. So far, the National Day has been going on for 6 days, and the total box office of "Resist the Japanese" has exceeded 400 million in these 6 days.
You should know that the box office of "Resist the Japanese" was nearly 200 million on the first day, but it was only more than 200 million in the remaining 5 days, and finally broke 400 million.
In addition, the reputation of "Resist the Japanese" is in a state of collapse across the board.
Originally, "Resist the Japanese" was liked by some people, and no matter what, this movie still has its merits, but Ouyang Qing's interview exacerbated the collapse of the box office.
Because from beginning to end, Ouyang Qing did not think it was his fault. No matter what movie, Ouyang Qing thought he was not wrong.
Again, think about it from Ouyang Qing's perspective. Although the movies he made were not so phenomenal, they had never flopped, and Ouyang Qing was indeed capable of making big productions.
If Ouyang Qing's movies were really so rubbish, why did the audience still buy it? ?
In addition, after years, some of Ouyang Qing’s previous films were still considered good by some people, who did not understand them at the beginning.
Look, from Ouyang Qing’s perspective, is there nothing wrong with him? ? ?
He said that the audience’s appreciation level was not enough, and it seemed that there was no problem.
But it’s still the old saying that as a director, try to speak as little as possible during the publicity period, not only the director, but also some main creators, because often their words will affect the publicity.
Take "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" for example. The publicity was originally good. Although the reputation collapsed a little on the second day, the publicity invited some veterans to watch the movie, and also used the moral high ground to promote it.
Originally, it has created some main theme atmosphere, and many times "patriotic rice" is still quite marketable.
But Ouyang Qing’s various words in the interview completely destroyed the reputation that the publicity had worked so hard to build.
The audience does not dislike the director or the main creator eating "patriotic rice". After all, no matter what, it is better than "hating the country", right?
But what the audience hates most is the kind of high-level black, carrying the banner of patriotism to hate the country, and even all kinds of smears. This is actually what Ouyang Qing’s interview was like.
Because of this, the publicity and promotion also fell flat, because it was completely unsalvageable.
So the box office of "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" was completely collapsed, and the publicity and promotion felt that it was the kind that could not be saved.
After the National Day file was over, "Anti-Japanese Unretreat" could be completely carried away.
On the other hand, "A Good Man" relied on word of mouth and the support of its peers to maintain its box office.
It broke 100 million for 5 consecutive days. Although the box office was gradually declining and did not achieve a reverse decline, it was still quite good.
Especially the box office on the 6th day still maintained a break of 100 million.
On the last day of the National Day file, the box office of this day was bound to fall sharply, because most people had to return.
Many people’s holidays were actually quite good. Some watched concerts, some went to see all over the world, some went back to their hometowns to harvest corn to accompany their parents, and some took care of their children, or stayed at home.
In short, as long as you don't go to work or school, everyone's mood is quite good.
But this National Day file is far from being so good for the film market.
At the beginning, everyone thought that this year's National Day file was the strongest National Day file in history, and the box office forecast for the three movies "Anti-Japanese Unretreat", "A Good Man", and "Customized Couple" was at least 2 billion.
As a result, the National Day file is about to end, and the final box office of "A Good Man", the highest of the three movies, is estimated to stop at 900 million.
As for "Anti-Japanese Unretreat", let's not talk about it. As a comedy movie, "Customized Couple" is the comedy movie with the highest "general content", but Sharp's box office appeal has obviously failed.
The box office of this movie, such as "Hanpu Film", "Watching Film Club", "Film in Film", and "Movie Master", is predicted to start at 3 billion.
As a result, the current box office forecast for "Customized Couple" is only 1 billion.
You must know that "Customized Couple" is a long-lost movie in which Sharp plays the leading role, and Sharp's reputation and popularity have always been quite strong.
According to the industry's thinking, with Sharp's appearance, and seeing the excitement on the Internet about "finally being able to watch a movie with a 'general content'", it is reasonable for everyone to predict 30+, isn't it?
After all, Sharp's popularity is extremely strong, and he is often known for his "humor" and "high emotional intelligence" on the Internet. Many people even regard him as Chu Xingrui's successor.
As a result, no one expected that the reputation of "Customized Couple" would be polarized.
Yes.
This year's National Day "Customized Couple" is the only movie with a polarized reputation, which is more polarized than "Wrong Love".
After all, "Customized Couple" won 90 million box office on the first day, of course, this box office is low considering Sharp's appeal.
But the most critical thing is the collapse of word of mouth.
This kind of word of mouth does not mean that "Customized Couple" is not funny. On the contrary, the jokes in this movie as a whole are pretty good, and to be honest, there is a little bit of fear in the careful thinking.
Your other half is tailor-made for you by others, and even this customization is artificially manipulated by everyone, and then your entire life is exposed to the spotlight and broadcast live in real time.
The final ending is a happy ending, because this is love, and the parents custom-made a wife for their son in order to cure his disease.
Just in the name of "love", you can control your son's life, and there is a happy ending in the end. It's strange that others don't think it's scary if you think about it.
But what really made everyone unhappy was Sharp, because everyone thought that Sharp's performance had become more and more superficial.
His performance in any movie is as if he is playing himself, and his acting skills are completely invisible.
Even Sharp's performance in variety shows is exactly the same, as if there is no way to distinguish between life and acting.
I have to say that based on this alone, the audience has reason to be disappointed.
In addition, "Customized Couple" has a bit of tragedy under the comedy core. Many people like this, but some people still think it is not good.
Therefore, the box office of "Customized Couple" has not collapsed, but the box office is not very good either. The current box office is finally predicted to be over 1 billion.
The box office of "Customized Couple" during the 6-day National Day period exceeded 500 million.
On the contrary, many people thought that "Dangerous Liaisons" would be a blockbuster, but the box office of this National Day release exceeded 300 million in six days, and its box office has been rising steadily.
The current box office forecast of "Dangerous Liaisons" is 500 million. From the beginning, the box office forecast of "Dangerous Liaison" was less than 100 million.
As a result, no one expected that "Dangerous Liaisons" would not be a blockbuster. Of course, the pressure to make back the money at the box office was also great.
After all, the cost of promoting "Dangerous Liaisons" is not low.
But as Wei Liang's debut film, this movie has already done well at the box office.
At the very least, it is not easy to get a reputation second only to "A Good Man" in the National Day release.
Of course, the current box office of "Dangerous Liaisons" is second only to "Custom Couple".
But according to this box office trend, it is only a matter of time before "Dangerous Liaisons" overtakes "Customized Couple".
It may even be possible to overtake tomorrow's working day.
Therefore, for the creators of "Dangerous Liaisons", they are really quite relaxed.
right.
Just relax.
Moreover, the promotion of "Dangerous Liaisons" was led astray by Lin Xing from the very beginning.
In the beginning, "Dangerous Liaisons" was actually promoted like other movies, which was to trick the audience into it no matter what.
In fact, if you look at the guests at the premiere, they all did the same thing. They all talked about "Dangerous Liaisons" to the sky.
If this trend is followed, then "Dangerous Liaisons" will not have any advantage over other films in terms of promotion and distribution. On the other hand, if it does this, the audience will probably scold it when they enter the cinema.
As a result, Lin Xing first said at the premiere that he did not want to comment, and when he evaluated it, he only talked about Wang Ruoan's acting skills.
Not to mention, on the first day of the National Day show, Lin Xing directly booked the show for nearly 500,000, which made "Dangerous Liaisons" successfully break out of the circle, because Lin Xing was not promoting "Dangerous Liaisons" as a movie What a great movie, he lets everyone see it for themselves, and everyone has the final say on whether it is good or not.
Because of this, everyone’s expectations were not high from the beginning.
Yes.
Because everyone thinks that this Weibo post by Lin Xing subconsciously means: ""Dangerous Liaisons" is a bad movie, so I won't promote it. I will reserve the theater for my idol, and everyone can go see it by themselves."
Not only that, but the official video of "Dangerous Liaisons" also has a number of actors adding fuel to the fire, which gives everyone the feeling that the film is acceptable.
What they didn't expect was that everyone entered the cinema and found that "Dangerous Liaisons" was far better than they expected.
Put it this way.
When everyone watched "Resistance Against Japan", they went in with the mentality of watching it with a score of 9, but in the end, it only got a score of 6.
Then everyone watched "Customized Couple" with the same mentality of 9 points, but the result was still only 6 points.
Not to mention "Wrong Love" and "Happy Divorce". "Wrong Love" still had a box office of over 100 million, which is not bad for a literary film, but "Happy Divorce" completely took it away. The final box office may not even reach 30 million. None.
But "Dangerous Liaisons" is different. Everyone went to watch it with a 5-point mentality, but found that it still had a 7-point rating, so naturally it felt good.
Many people think that the plot of this movie is compact and the actors are very good. Although it collapsed later, everyone was quite happy because of the explosion.
In short, this movie is basically watchable, the plot and logic are pretty good, and the actors' performances are not bad.
The most important thing is that everyone has the same idea as Lin Xing, that is, just watch Wang Ruoan work hard in this movie.
At the age of 65, he still fights so fiercely, completely defeating a bunch of little fresh meat.
Let's put it this way, Lin Xing is right.
65 years old is the year to fight.
Many people have raised the topic even more, and even won the hot spot during the National Day period.
Not only that, everyone also remembered Chen Shenglai.
After all, Chen Sheng is almost 70 years old, but he is still acting in fighting scenes. This time, Chen Sheng's new film "Pursuit of Fire" is currently being filmed. According to Reuters, Chen Sheng also fights very hard.
Therefore, not only the age of 65 is the year to fight, but also the age of 70.
Of course, Chen Sheng's previous movies were inferior to each other, but this time "Pursuit of Fire" can be said to be the most anticipated by everyone. Even Chen Sheng said in an interview that this is his last action film.
All right.
Everyone didn’t really believe Chen Sheng’s words, because ten years ago, Chen Sheng said that he would be the last action movie, and then a group of people went to watch the movie "Escape". Ten years ago, Chen Sheng was 60 years old. , but he can still fight, and the action scenes are not too few.
The box office of "Escape" finally reached nearly 2 billion. Many people wanted to say goodbye to their youth, because Chen Sheng said in an interview that this film was the last one.
But later, he changed his mind and said that this was his last action film.
The result is that in the past 10 years, Chen Sheng has acted in almost 10 more movies. He is still very productive, but it is getting worse.
For this reason, when Chen Sheng said that "Pursuit of Fire" would be his last film, not many people believed it.
But Chen Sheng still has some box office appeal, and in this aspect he is far stronger than Chu Xingrui.
Coupled with the lineup of "Pursuit of Fire", many people think that this movie will set a good record.
Now that "Dangerous Liaisons" has received such a box office as an action movie, more people have confidence in "The Wire".
No, "Pursuit of Fire" can be regarded as a bit of "Dangerous Liaisons", and it is also a successful fantasy linkage.
After all, Wang Ruoan and Chen Sheng have a good relationship, and the two have collaborated in several movies, so many people are asking: "When can you two grandpas make a movie together?"
It can also be seen from this that "Dangerous Liaisons" is on the positive side in terms of public opinion.
Of course, An Yifeng's mother, who was on the set of "Pursuit of Fire", said to An Yifeng: "As you can see, the current market for action movies is still quite big, and..."
"Mom, I want to be quiet."
An Yifeng said calmly.
"Why can't you understand mom? Can mom still harm you? Let me ask you, Lin Xing said he was filming "Death on Earth", but where is this movie?"
An Yifeng's mother said with a sneer: "Then Lin Xing actually asked Yang Tian to make some comedy film. Didn't he just make it for you? Do you want us to be angry? I told you to go to the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony next. When he comes, you should keep a distance from him. If he wants to invite you to guest star in his movie, you must not agree..."
Listening to her mother's words, An Yifeng's head hurt even more.
