Chapter 572: Was the Movie Ruined by a Dog-Licker? (Seeking a Guaranteed Monthly Ticket)

During the road show, someone also asked Lin Xing what he thought about this sentence.

Pack up and get ready for promotion.

"I would like to ask if I can double the box office after finishing cleaning up and becoming a celebrity?"

Lin Xing looked at the many media reporters and asked with a smile.

One sentence made many media stunned.

Are you kidding me? ?

Now the box office of "Hot Streets" is almost 1.4 billion. Do you still want to double it at this time?

Besides, who doesn’t know that the so-called ‘pack things up and get ready for promotion’ is just a polite word.

What's more, this sentence is also particularly suitable for publicity.

Many artists like to use this sentence to promote, and then use it to prove that their status is different.

But Lin Xing didn't like it.

Just as Lin Xing said in his previous road show that he was the so-called action successor, in Lin Xing's view, the truth is actually the same.

What coffee position? ?

To put it bluntly, that kind of thing is a kind of illusion. Today, people may say that you have been promoted, but tomorrow they may say that you have fallen from the altar.

This is not just the case in the entertainment industry, it is basically the same in all walks of life.

As for the media, what they are most passionate about is creating gods and then destroying them.

Let's put it this way, today the media thinks that you, Lin Xing, are so awesome, that you have cheated, and that you have never failed. If you Lin Xing makes a little splash tomorrow, the media will instantly put you on the back foot.

If you don’t believe it, look at Yang Tian, ​​how he was once praised by the media, but what happened after he continued to hit the streets?

If you still don't believe it, look at An Yifeng. Before she took over the filming of "The Wire", she was already known as the Return of Sister Wang, but this time after "The Wire" hit the streets, she was ridiculed. ?

The principle is the same.

Regardless of the media's publicity, online audience popularity, or even your own public opinion and reputation, you can work hard for it, but don't care too much.

Therefore, Lin Xing said once again in front of many reporters: "This is my last response. The success of a movie cannot be separated from the team. I don't need to be promoted. I will always be me, a literary and artistic worker. I hope Everyone should pay more attention to the movie, the director, the screenwriter, and the people behind the scenes of "The Streets"..."

After the road show, Lin Xing accepted an exclusive interview with Film Weekly.

He said that he is far from being as powerful as the outside world says, or as powerful as others say.

"Many times people only look at the results and not the process, or in other words, everyone uses the results to infer the process."

"Just like the movie "The Streets", now it's because the box office is good, so everything I did before is correct, but what about the fake box office failure? Then I feel that I may become a joke."

"But in my opinion, the box office is a kind of recognition. But if "The Streets" really hits the box office, I don't think what I did was wrong."

…

"Yes, you are right, just like "Dead on Earth". By the way, we should release this movie during the National Day period. In fact, I wanted to release it during the Spring Festival period, but the bureau did not agree with us. After some coordination..."

"Yes, even though it's only May, there are actually still a lot of blockbusters in this year's Spring Festival."

"I also want to go during the Spring Festival. After all, my movie hasn't been released during the Spring Festival yet."

…

Lin Xing was very talkative during the interview.

He is of course very satisfied with the box office performance of "Hot Streets". He believes that the film's success comes from the script and director Wei Lu's shooting.

"You have to know that many times actors only need to play their own roles well, and such a good role is actually written by the screenwriter teacher, and then the director needs to fully consider how to shoot, that is, how to turn words into pictures... "

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Not to mention lighting, sound, editing, etc. Without everyone's cooperation, how could beautiful pictures, wonderful stories, and even the famous scenes be produced? ? "

Today’s interview material is quite sufficient.

This issue of "Movie Weekly" will be released directly in June, but by then I'm afraid "Hot Streets" will have been offline, and naturally there won't be much publicity.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a good time to promote “Death on Earth”.

Lin Xing basically came here like this throughout May.

On the one hand, when he is running a road show, he needs to adjust the atmosphere throughout the whole process. Most actors have no problem letting them do action scenes, but face-to-face communication with the media and the audience is a bit awkward.

On the other hand, many interviewers were designated to interview Lin Xing, and the worst choice was to interview Xue Li. After all, "Hot Streets" is a two-hero competition, and only these two are the big names.

Other than that, the other actors are just foils.

Moreover, when the road show started on May 15th, Xue Li went back to filming. His new movie was about to start filming, and the other leading actors also left one after another.

Just like that, by May 28th, Lin Xing and Wei Lu were basically the only two people left running the road show.

And today is actually the last road show.

Xue Li, Zhang Yang, Yang Ming, Lu Fei and other actors are also here.

The last road show can be regarded as the end of the palace, and it can also be regarded as a celebration.

Although "Hot Streets" currently has not exceeded 2 billion, its box office of 1.8 billion is still the strongest movie since the Spring Festival.

"The movie market is indeed in decline. What if a movie of such high quality as before can't easily exceed 2 billion??"

"Short dramas and short videos have changed too many people's movie-watching habits. Who can still concentrate on watching movies now?"

"Yes, so I think the film market will be difficult in 2028, but I'm afraid it will be even more difficult next year."

…

Many people are saying that the movie is really over.

Because it has to be put aside before, this movie "The Streets" is such a powerful movie, and the script is good, and the villain is also a typical suit thug. In addition, the score of this movie on Douban is not low.

As a result, except for the May Day period, the box office has not increased again.

Lao Zhong, whom everyone talks about, doesn't think so.

She wrote directly on Weibo: "I don't think this is because movies are dead, nor is it the impact of so-called short videos or short dramas. In fact, I think this is because movie audiences no longer have time to watch them.

That's right.

Movies have become a luxury product now.

First of all, movie tickets are too expensive now. The ticket prices in first- and second-tier cities are over 100, and the ticket prices in third- and fourth-tier cities are almost thirty or forty.

I just want to ask if the movie is really good, then it would be worth spending a hundred and eighty yuan on it.

But is your movie worthy? ?

Secondly, a movie usually takes about 2 hours, and even including the time to go to the cinema, it takes 3 hours. Let’s just say that the audiences who like this wave of movies have already gone to work, and they are doing 996 every day, so there is nothing left Time to go to the cinema? ?

Thirdly, I think couple movies have also collapsed. Some people say this is because the dog-licking market has collapsed. I think it’s because young people nowadays no longer want to fall in love. Let alone getting married and having children, they don’t even want to fall in love. So couples don’t go to the movies anymore. Will this movie have to be popular again? ?

In short, this is the real reason. As for short plays and short videos, I think it can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

Of course, you have to ask me if cinema will die?

I don’t think so, it will just break and then stand up. As for what will happen, I can’t say, let’s just keep watching, but I believe that as long as there are filmmakers like Lin Xing, there will always be hope for movies.

…

No one expected that Lao Zhong would post another long Weibo post at the end of the "Hot Streets" road show.

Of course, it is normal for Lao Zhong to post a long Weibo account. She originally posted a lot of Weibo posts for "The Streets".

But this time Lao Zhongfa was very controversial.

Because there has been quite a lot of discussion during this period about why audiences are reluctant to go to the movies.

Many marketing accounts are saying that this is because the dog-licking economy has collapsed.

You must know that dog lickers are the ones who don't pick movies the most. For them, as long as they can watch it with their goddess.

Therefore, in many cases, the prosperity of the film market is like a dog-licking thing.

But do you think the current movies are dog-licking friendly? ?

Or is it friendly to couples? ?

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Men are always bad and they kill their wives and girlfriends at every turn.

Every now and then, men are asked to reflect on the fact that women should be beautiful alone and so on.

How many couples watch a movie and become exes at the end?

Who dares to invite your partner to see this?

For this reason, some people believe that the collapse of movie theaters is due to the collapse of the dog-licking economy.

But for Lao Zhong, she doesn't think so. She thinks that children and young people nowadays don't really like to go to the cinema. As for the middle-aged people who like to watch movies, they don't have time.

Even many young people who like to watch movies also don’t have time. How can they have time when they work 996 every day? ?

As the work gets harder and harder, everyone finds that the work gets harder and harder, and then the salary becomes less and less, the time becomes less and less, and there is no time to spend at all.

In short, more people think that what Lao Zhong said is more pertinent.

At today's road show, since it's the end, everyone is in a good mood.

Or maybe it’s just because it’s over that everyone can speak freely.

"I'm actually really satisfied with the box office. This box office belongs to the audience's trust in us. I believe the movie will get better and better. I also believe that as long as we work hard, the audience will gradually come back to the cinema."

Xue Li was quite calm when he was interviewed.

Think about it, a movie that was originally thought to be on hiatus, a movie that everyone thought was going to hit the streets after filming resumed, has now grossed nearly 2 billion in direct box office, what else are you dissatisfied with? ?

Lin Xing also said in an interview: "I think the final box office may be 1.9 billion. What are we dissatisfied with this box office??"

Regarding the online movie controversy, Lin Xingdao said: "Actually, I think as long as a good movie is made, the audience will come back sooner or later."

For Lin Xing, he did not end the various conflicts on the Internet.

no need.

Especially on the topic of opposition between men and women, this basically belongs to someone who cannot be convinced by anyone, as long as he does not have anything to do with it.

What's more important is that Lin Xing will never take shortcuts when making movies, let alone chase popularity.

This is actually very similar to the current Spring Festival Gala.

In the past, the Spring Festival Gala always created memes. All kinds of buzzwords were uttered through the Spring Festival Gala, and then became popular all over the country.

But what about the Spring Festival Gala now? ?

Not only the Spring Festival Gala, it should be said that the evening parties now are actually all singing and dancing programs. The singing and dancing ones are good, but as for the crosstalk and sketches, they are all family-friendly dumplings.

You know he wants to make dumplings, he knows you know he makes dumplings, but he still makes dumplings.

In the past, everyone would complain about the major evening parties and the Spring Festival Gala, and then they found that it was already like this, so complaining was a waste.

Fortunately, movies are not like this.

If one day people don’t even discuss movies, then you can rest assured that on that day, movies are really dead.

Lin Xing basically said this in an interview.

A movie is almost 1.9 billion, how can this movie be considered dead? ?

The main creators of "Hot Street" ate dumplings together at the end of the interview, no, they ate zongzi together.

After all, today is the Dragon Boat Festival.

After today, I don’t know when everyone will get together again.

After all, everyone will be busy next. Xue Li will continue to shoot his own action movie, and actors such as Zhang Yang, Yang Ming, and Lu Fei also have scenes to shoot.

As for Wei Lu, she should take a break for a while.

After all, at this age, Wei Lu was very tired from shooting "Hot Street" this time.

This kind of tiredness is not only physical, but also mentally and physically exhausted from the fight with Yuan Yu.

In an interview today, Wei Lu said that I said at the beginning that time can prove who is right, so I believe that the audience's eyes are sharp, and this time the box office of "Hot Street" determines everything.

Wei Lu is like this, repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.

She didn't endure it when she was young, and she won't endure it at this age.

You Yuan Yu said to flip the table, and then flip the table, and then say to reconcile, how is this possible? ? ?

Of course, Wei Lu did not fail to recognize her mistakes. She said from the beginning that she should not change the script and the character setting. In the future, she will prepare for filming after finalizing the script.

But that may be three or four years later.

Next, Wei Lu prepared to take a good rest.

In this way, the main creators of "Hot Street" appeared for the last time, and then everyone took a group photo together, and the main creators also posted on Weibo.

"See you next time."

Most people said so.

This is also a way of publicity.

After all, the current box office of "Hot Street" is still 200 to 300 million, which can be slowly grinded, right? ?

Others really admire "Hot Street", and Yuan Yu is even more upset after this closing.

Wei Lu, you are already this age, can't you be more generous? ?
