Chapter 141 Daily life of the crew
Wang Jiawei is a director who is close to the master level. Of course, in many eyes, he is a master!
Anyway, he is a very good director, which is generally recognized.
So, as a good director, does Wang Jiawei really think "Ferryman" is very good? He actually declared "I like it" on Weibo with great fanfare!
Then a bunch of his celebrity fans rushed forward, "I like it too!"
It's normal. If Chen Lin directed a bad movie and then licked his face and said, "I think this movie is OK." There will definitely be many people in the circle who will help him waving the flag and shouting. When the status is here, there will always be people who will curry favor with it.
But Wang Jiawei never expected that the people would have been disgusted by such things.
Therefore, despite his support and a group of celebrities shouting with their eyes closed, the box office results of "Ferryman" have not improved at all, and the box office of about 10 million yuan per day has been recorded.
As of December 28, five days after its release, the cumulative box office of "The Ferryman" reached 230 million yuan, which looks pretty good. After all, this is just a love movie, and Wang Jiawei's movies have never been very good. The movie he directed has a highest box office of only 350 million yuan, "The Grandmaster".
But the investment of "Ferryman" is RMB 400 million!
In other words, once the box office does not exceed 100 million, the cost will be difficult to recover.
Keywords 3o has a Hollywood production about to be released soon - "Star Wars: The Legend of the Thieves", which brings together two powerful actors, Hu Ge and Jiang Wen, especially Lao Hu. The blessing of "The Prince of the Golden Touch" makes him look as powerful as a mainland number one!
This is not possible. We must seize the market in these few days, so the producer needs more momentum.
But what should I do?
The criticism website has been scolding for several rounds, but the effect is still not good. The audience seems to attach great importance to reputation!
This is true. After entering 2o16 years, there are countless examples of stars gathering but not being able to achieve box office success. On the contrary, some movies that did not have a large number of blessings and only rely on reputation have achieved strong box office results, such as "July and Ansheng" and "Love Saint"!
Then I can only find someone to fight.
If he could apologize in public, it would be even better!
So, they found Chen Lin.
Who made Chen Lin the most talkative now?
Five movies, "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", "The Golden Captain", "The Great Wall", "The Ferryman" and "The Flying Tiger of Railways", have been released one after another. The only one with Chen Lin's "The Golden Captain" not only sold well at the box office, but also had a huge reputation.
Even during such a crowded period of the New Year holiday, "The Golden Captain" was postponed to be out of the second round of the first month!
Chen Lin’s popularity today can definitely make “Ferryman” rekindled!
Then, the person in charge of Alibaba Film and Television found Fang Jianhao, hoping that he would contact Chen Lin and cooperate with the industry to do a show.
Maybe he wanted him to say a little or two good things to Wang Jiawei.
"The Ferryman" has nothing to do with Wang Jiawei?
For so many big brands, even photography and music, who is not his old partner? Not someone like him will come?
He came out on Weibo and the actors rushed on, which was really a big fuss.
Looking at these ugly flattery, it really makes people feel disgusting.
Chen Lin directly wrote on Weibo:
"A bad movie is a bad movie. If a director is so arrogant that he can lose even the most basic aesthetics, and so arrogant that he can't listen to the slightest criticism of others, how far can he go?"
"A movie is not a group of people in the circle who think it's enough to like it. It's the bottom line that the audience likes it!"
"Although I haven't watched "The Ferryman", I always believe that the people's eyes are naturally bright. Since so many viewers gave this movie low scores, it means that there must be something wrong with this movie!"
"Douban, Maoyan may have controversies such as cents and 50 cents, but one thing is recognized. When these two companies fail the same movie, it can be concluded that there must be something wrong with this movie!"
"Forcibly referring to a deer as a horse is too serious!"
"Abstract, so, I don't like it!"
...
Chen Lin doesn’t like Wang Jiawei, which is a fact that many people know.
He looks quite similar to Feng Xiaogang!
Chen Lin also thought carefully about the reason why he dared to write this passage at this time.
First, the bad title of "The Ferryman" has been closely linked to it, and it is impossible for everyone to praise it just by just one sentence;
Secondly: No large media company can be a single piece, especially a company like Alibaba Pictures that has undergone various acquisitions and mergers and changes in the chairman of the board!
"The Ferryman" was originally a project of Zedong Film. Later, Lao Wang signed a series of contracts with Alibaba, probably to use Lao Wang's reputation and make money.
Since Internet companies entered the film and television industry in 2014, whether it is Alibaba Pictures, Burnxun Pictures, Duniang Nuomi Films, or Leshi Pictures, they all want to form a closed loop of the entire chain from the investment, shooting, production, and terminal playback of movies.
Burung Xun tied up with Huayi, Leishi invited Zhang Zhao, and Du Niang stopped food completely. Alibaba was still rich and generous in buying and buying various things, and stocked up a lot of IP resources. Unfortunately, that vision is really not satisfactory!
Alibaba Pictures has different opinions on "Ferryman" and there are also many voices of opposition from the board of directors.
Therefore, Chen Lin stood up at this time and said the truth, the impact caused was not too great.
1: Dislike does not mean very bad. Respect the right to dislike, and respect the freedom to say bad. The market has the final say in the choice of the market;
2: When others say they don’t like it, think about how to make others like it; when others say they are bad, try to become better;
3: Malicious comments and bad comments are two different things. There is also a fundamental difference between being unobjective and being malicious. Help more people, and reflect more on yourself;
4: This is our first step, the road is still long...
OK, you have money, just smash it!
...
After this Weibo post, Chen Lingang was about to sigh a few words, but Wu Jing, who was directing the scene not far away, was furious again.
This guy actually asked Frank, the big villain in the movie, to hit him in the face with his fist!
Damn, crazy!
Frank was stunned and looked at Chen Lin for help. He also knew that the only person in the entire crew could talk to Wu Jing was Chen Lin.
Unfortunately, Chen Lin cruelly carried his face over.
It’s hard for me to protect myself!
No wonder the young and handsome guy can't stand it. Damn, even Chen Lin wants to give up. The filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" is so hard.
Wu Jing is cruel to himself and others!
mmmp, I am an investor!
Other investors can have a wide belly and a wide range of unspoken rules for the heroine, why should I get beaten up all kinds of times?
Touching Zi Qing's arm, Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Then, of course, he ran over and was beaten up... No, he was trying to persuade Wu Jing not to be so cruel...
Although I know it's useless...
Chapter completed!
