The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 19 Don't panic, the advantage is still with me

Unlike the extremely shabby premiere of "Peking Holiday", Luo Jianzhou held a star-studded premiere ceremony for "Speed ​​Moment".

With the screams of the fans and the scrambling for positions by the reporters, stars big and small came out one after another.

When Luo Jianzhou showed up with the main creative lineup, it attracted the highest decibel screams of the day, as well as flash bombardment and barrage of questions from media reporters.

From the moment Luo Jianzhou entered the premiere theater, he was almost completely overwhelmed by all kinds of greetings, and he was almost overwhelmed with these industry acquaintances—this is the embodiment of his status in the circle.

The premiere of "Speed ​​Moment" was considered a success, the fans naturally applauded, and the big names invited to attend were also full of praise. Luo Jianzhou was in a good mood after the premiere.

But soon, his mood became less beautiful.

Because there was a screening of "Peking Holiday" in the theater next door, Luo Jianzhou took a special look at it after the screening.

I saw hundreds of people pouring out, some with sad faces, some with excitement, but almost no one showed disappointment.

Faintly, there are still many voices of discussion reaching the ears——

"I love this movie so much!"

"very nice!"

"The princess is so beautiful!"

"..."

Regardless of whether it was the high attendance rate that was known at first glance, or the faint approval of the audience, it cast a shadow over Luo Jianzhou's mood.

This shadow was brought to maximum on the second day.

After the box office was released on the first day, "Speed ​​Moment" achieved a box office score of 1544 million, winning the single-day box office champion.

But it was followed by "Peking Holiday", which also achieved a dazzling 1359 million box office.

Although it is said that he is still overwhelmed by him, but he can tell by pinching his fingers that the attendance rate of the other party will not be worse than him. The difference in the first day box office between the two is only reflected in the number of films scheduled.

This is definitely not the crushing situation he wants!

Seeing that Luo Jianzhou's face was turning black, Mr. Producer was inexplicably relieved: You are stupid, if you don't listen to me telling you not to underestimate the enemy, what is it now, the real contest has just begun.

"Actually, what worries me more than the box office is the audience's reputation." The producer raised a few pages of the report in his hand.

Well, the major studios all have their own investigative departments, who keep an eye on the news of movie releases in order to adjust their promotional methods.

Even if it is impossible to quickly count the attendance rate and word-of-mouth of the film through the Internet, Tang Yu Media will not take long to get an overview of the release of "Extreme Moment" by using relatively primitive sampling surveys and telephone statistics.

"The attendance rate on the first day was not bad, but quite a few viewers said that the rhythm was a little out of balance, and there were big flaws in the narrative..."

You know, this is still the first day, and most of the movie fans came to watch it because of the name of the director and the leading actor. The appearance of such word-of-mouth can already explain some problems.

Producers were not surprised.

He discussed this issue with Luo Jianzhou after watching the sample, and the edited version did not improve much.

Luo Jianzhou was sullen, and after a while, he asked, "Where are the film critics' reputation?"

"What can come out now is basically good reviews, and you know the reason." The producer shrugged.

Well, what else could be the reason, nothing more than stuffing money.

Luo Jianzhou flipped through the newspapers of the day irritably, and then... became even more irritated!

Because the most conspicuous film reviews are all about "Peking Holiday"——

"The theme of "Peking Holiday" is not outstanding, and it is even said that the theme of "Prince Falling in Love with Cinderella" has already been shot badly. Even if the soundtrack "reality" and theme song "Legend" are so good, if there are no other hot spots, it is doomed mediocre."

"However, because of the joining of the heroine, this movie has a completely different result."

"This princess, whose every frown and smile makes people's hearts move, loves her heart, and misses her heart, affects the plot and people's hearts from the beginning to the end. I even think that apart from the heroine's face, I really can't imagine who else is more suitable for the princess image..."

When Luo Jianzhou saw it, it was Yang Lan, a film critic who "favorites looking at faces", praised and boasted wildly.

Nonsense, that's Junior Sister Shen, can you not be beautiful?
If I were to be my heroine, I would definitely be able to make her more beautiful.

Luo Jianzhou agreed and thought regretfully.

As for the film review of Charlotte, another well-known troll film critic——

""Peking Holiday" is a good love movie, and the princess in it is a very typical screen image, but I'm not here to flatter you today."

"Since "If Sadness Crows Against the River" unexpectedly became popular four years ago, the subsequent romance films seem to only do one thing-crying, and one will cry more than the other."

"What should I do if I can't cry? I'm going to be filming hypocritically, moaning without illness, abortion, car accident, it's so hard to be filming...Anyway, it's right to cry to death."

"Crying your sister, crying, all you can do is cry, it's an all-round insult to love. The more actors cry into the play, the more f*ck I get into the play."

"Can't you focus on movies and stories like "Peking Holiday" and experience the simplest happiness and the most pure touch? Even if it's only for one day."

"I know that after "Peking Holiday", there may be another group of 'pure love' follow-up works. Seriously, hurry up and let the love movie Quan Te Niang, who can only cry, be destroyed..."

He couldn't stand it anymore, and said bitterly: "Dunhuang must have stuffed money for this old man."

The producer poked his head over to take a look. It turned out to be the film critic of that old Charlotte.

"You can't say that. A well-known film critic like Charlotte pays most attention to his own reputation. If the quality of the movie is poor, even if he has a lot of money, he can criticize it anyway." Mr. Producer still said something fair.

In other words, the quality of "Peking Holiday" can be recognized by film critics.

Comparing the good reviews of "Extreme Speed" in the newspapers, it seems that most of them are stereotypes, and there is no soul at all.

Moreover, there is a very subtle point-there are almost no famous film critics.

As the producer said, this is what people eat, and reputation always comes first.

Of course, it is another matter to not post negative reviews after receiving money or to delay posting negative reviews.

It's just this fact that makes Luo Jianzhou's mood worse.

He took a deep breath, exhaled, and finally said: "I admit, I underestimated the enemy, and that kid still surprised me."

Yo, how could this proud young master admit his mistake so easily?
The producers couldn't believe their ears.

"However, I insist that he is not a big threat."

The producer felt relieved, so he just said, as expected, he was still the familiar Young Master Luo.

Luo Jianzhou pointed his fingers and analyzed: "In the final analysis, Dunhuang relied on the Guo family's gossip to stir up the popularity. No matter how shocking the gossip is, the popularity should drop after a while. Dunhuang's advantage of following the trend of hype is gone."

The producer nodded slightly.

"As long as the popularity subsides, with their love themes, even if they have a good reputation, it will not be easy to maintain the current theater chain without cutting it."

The producer still nodded slightly.

Luo Jianzhou put the third finger under the board: "There is another point that we absolutely have the advantage of, the road show."

The so-called road show means that directors, actors and other film creators go to major cities across the country to promote the film.Regional theaters generally look forward to the influence brought by stars airborne to the local area, and local movie fans look forward to the opportunity to witness idols.

Luo Jianzhou showed a determined smile: "Except for the heroine in "Extreme Speed", all the other actors are well-known; but from the director to the starring role of "Northern Fake", which one is famous?"

In the end, he didn't know whether he was comforting others or himself, and concluded confidently: "So, don't panic, the advantage is still with me!"
