Chapter 527: It's a Mule or a Horse, Pull It Out

"What does pure comedy mean?"

Lin Xing looked at the man in front of him and asked in surprise.

The man said: "It's not like "Parallel Cohabitation" which has any joys and sorrows. I just want to watch a movie that is only for making the audience laugh..."

This man's words really won the approval of many people.

It's not that "Parallel Cohabitation" is bad, but it still made some people cry. Some people like it, but some people don't.

You are like the man who asked the question, Wang Qingfa, he is 38 years old this year, and the children of his classmates are in high school, but he is not married yet.

It's not that I don't want to find one, but many times I really miss it.

When watching "Parallel Cohabitation", Wang Qingfa really watched it as a comedy at first, but he was quite touched after watching it.

In fact, Wang Qingfa didn't ask for much, he just wanted to have a love, an adult love.

But how difficult it is.

Nowadays, adults have to talk about money and interests in love, and often they have to talk about betrothal gifts.

When you are young, you can risk your life for love, but when you are older, you need to consider the reality.

Especially, although some of the classmates around you have children in high school, some are divorced, and some are even fighting for various reasons.

For this reason, Wang Qingfa gradually found that it is better to be single to keep safe.

Because nowadays, there is too little pure love between men and women, especially as they get older.

At this age, Wang Qingfa has also been on a blind date, but he was cheated of a lot of money, so he gave up later.

Let's just be a dead otaku.

Because of this, Wang Qingfa likes to read some rebirth novels, because he can only feel some youth in rebirth novels.

If possible, Wang Qingfa really wants to go back to high school, when he had a good relationship with a female classmate, but he missed it because he was young.

At that time, it was really too stupid.

But life cannot be reborn, so we can only hope in novels or film and television dramas.

Nowadays, the TV series about rebirth novels are often mediocre, and many of the actors are not very good.

For this reason, Wang Qingfa hopes that Lin Xing can make one.

"Brother Xing, you said before that you wanted to make a rebirth movie, is this true?"

Wang Qingfa asked Lin Xing.

Lin Xing laughed: "I do want to make a rebirth novel, but there is no script now, so..."

"Brother Xing, I recommend you a rebirth novel, the name is "Entertainment 1997", you can take a look, it's very good, and I think the protagonist Lin Feng in it is very similar to you..."

Wang Qingfa said to Lin Xing: "I really hope you can make a rebirth novel."

"Okay, I know, thank you."

Lin Xing didn't say anything at this time.

You know, Lin Xing actually likes to read entertainment novels occasionally, all of which are plagiarism, but most of the time he just reads them simply.

Because some entertainment novels are just repeated copies of books, songs, TV series, etc.

As for the "Entertainment of 1997" mentioned by Wang Qingfa, Lin Xing had never heard of it. He usually looked for novels on the website, but if he hadn't heard of it, then this novel would definitely not be very popular.

What Lin Xing didn't expect was that this preview was directly discussed online.

"You know what, I really think Lin Xing can play Lin Feng in "Entertainment of 1997."

"That's right, you have to know that this Lin Feng is a person who traveled back in time. He was a mess in reality, and traveling back in time just saved his life."

"Hahaha, Lin Feng can play a loser, and at the same time, he can also play this kind of pretentious person."

...

Many people have actually read the novel "Entertainment of 1997".

This novel is actually not complicated. It's just a simple loser who lives a very difficult life in reality, and then the goddess he likes also marries someone else, and he marries someone he doesn't love, and then he suddenly reborn back when he attends the goddess' wedding.

After returning, he naturally pretends to be pretentious all the way.

The reason why Lin Xing hadn't heard of this novel was that it hadn't been put on the shelves yet. It could be said that it had just become popular, and the current data was also soaring.

Of course, Lin Xing didn't have any thoughts on this at the moment.

The next day, Lin Xing brought the crew of "Parallel Cohabitation" to continue to airborne the movie theater.

This time, many audiences on the scene were still surprised.

In short, the effect was quite good.

Now, there are only two days left before Double Eleven, and the discussion about Double Eleven on the Internet is not too heated at this time.

On the one hand, Double Eleven has been warming up since October, and it has even gone through several rounds, so it's nothing at this time.

On the other hand, the economic situation this year is not good, and most people really don't have much money to spend.

Haven't you seen that even the movie market is not very prosperous, let alone other aspects.

"I think the movie "Parallel Cohabitation" is good, but it really shouldn't be chosen on Double Eleven."

"Yes, the market is so cold, wouldn't Lin Xing think that "Parallel Cohabitation" can save the market at this time? ?"

"What market can be saved? How can such a comedy movie save the market?"

"You can't say that. The ceiling of comedy movies is quite high, but I don't think "Parallel Cohabitation" can save the market."

...

"To be honest, someone has done data statistics before. Now no one is willing to be a licker, and the number of flower purchases has also decreased significantly. Even no one talks about love. This "Parallel Cohabitation" is a love drama, so naturally not many people are willing to watch it."

"That's right, comedy love movies don't actually have much market, which is also the reason why I don't think the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" will improve."

"Yes, how many love movies have failed this year? Even Valentine's Day can usually cheat a wave of box office, but now it can't."

...

Currently, more and more people are beginning to sing the bad news about "Parallel Cohabitation".

How to say it? ?

This is what everyone has come up with from various rational analysis. Everyone does not think that the movie "Parallel Cohabitation" is not good.

On the contrary, many people think that the quality of "Parallel Cohabitation" is good, but in the cold market, even if you praise it, the box office may not be too high.

Just like that, "Parallel Cohabitation" is finally coming to the theater.

Lin Xing wrote on his Weibo: "Tomorrow, Double Eleven is coming, and this day will also be the day when "Parallel Cohabitation" is released. I hope everyone likes this movie, cherish the people in front of you, cherish every day of your life, and hope that this movie can bring happiness to everyone."

Yang Tian also wrote later: "This "Parallel Cohabitation" is the most touching movie I have ever played. It will finally be officially released to everyone tomorrow. See you there."

...

To be honest, Yang Tian's feeling is not because of the filming, she just feels that it's time for her to be a mule or a horse to go out for a walk.

You should know that "Parallel Cohabitation" was previewed for a total of 5 days, and because there were not many screenings, the preview box office was less than 1 million in total.

This preview actually doesn't look that good, but the word of mouth has fermented, but most people still think that this good word of mouth does not necessarily get a good box office.

That's right.

Many people even think that this is an art film that is well-received but not popular.

If you were Yang Tian, ​​would you be able to sleep well? ? ?

This is really hard to sleep.

Tomorrow, when "Parallel Cohabitation" is officially released, Yang Tian and Lin Xing will officially go on the road show.

Still starting from the capital.

Today, Yang Tian, ​​Lin Xing, Zu Lan, Wei Fei, Liu Zhou, Ren Yi, Guan Peng and others are all gathered together.

Tomorrow, Guan Peng will return to the filming site of "Death on Earth".

You have to know that Guan Peng is just a cameo in "Parallel Cohabitation" after all, and he can't always go on the road show.

In addition to Guan Peng, Ren Yi is almost the same. Ren Yi only has two scenes in "Death on Earth". He has already supported the scene at the premiere, so he must leave this time.

In this way, Lin Xing, Yang Tian, ​​and Wu Qifeng will lead the road show next.

Wei Fei will follow for two days, and then she will also return to "Death on Earth".

After all, Wei Fei needs to keep an eye on the crew of "Death on Earth".

Of course.

No matter from which aspect, Lin Xing and Yang Tian are enough for the roadshow.

With these two people, there is no lack of traffic.

Not only that, Lin Xing is good at roadshows, and every roadshow Lin Xing can chat with everyone happily.

Lin Xing really respects the audience, and unlike some actors who can't even understand their own roles, Lin Xing can really understand every role.

You should know that the script of "Parallel Cohabitation" has been [script discussion], and there are even a few scenes that Lin Xing has to modify.

"Axing, do you think our movie box office can break 50 million???"

Yang Tian asked Lin Xing.

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "Don't ask me this, you should ask President Meng. Hasn't President Meng been investigating the market recently?"

"50 million is definitely no problem. Although the schedule is a bit sluggish, there are still people watching movies even in a sluggish situation."

Meng Yan smiled and said, "Besides, if the box office is really only 50 million, then it will be a flop."

"Then, what about over 100 million?"

Yang Tian asked with bright eyes.

Meng Yan didn't dare to guarantee it at this time: "Sister Tian, ​​you also know that whether a movie exceeds 100 million or not is completely different, and many times it is too difficult for a movie to reach 100 million. Don't think that it is only 10 or 20 million, but these 20 million are too much."

This is the truth.

Many movies can reach 50 million even if they fail, but if you add it up to 60, 80, or 100 million, it is quite difficult.

It is precisely because of this that the final performance of the movie and even the prediction of the box office are often a joke.

The real thing still depends on the audience.

Therefore, no one knows what the first-day box office will be like tomorrow.

Especially, the pre-sale of "Parallel Cohabitation" is not very good, because Double Eleven is Thursday after all.

As a result, many people still think that "Parallel Cohabitation" is likely to fail.
