Chapter 189 40 Million in a Single Day (2/6)

"Lost in the Road" was released on March 8, and "The Great Tangshan Earthquake" started filming on March 16, leaving little time for Zhang Junsheng!

And just from the perspective of celebrity status, Wang Baoqiang, Ren and Li Lianhua are not particularly appealing actors. The most appealing crew of the entire "Lost in the Road" must be Zhang Junsheng!

After returning to Beijing, Zhang Junsheng immediately met with the crew and started a promotional event that afternoon.

...

Beijing media meeting.

"Director Zhang, many people think that a movie like "Lost in the Road" is too simple and does not meet your Oscar's best director at all..."

Zhang Junsheng smiled and waved his hand: "With zero publicity, "Lost in Thailand", the box office scored 29 million on the first day. I think this is the hope of Chinese movies. The box office of "Avatar" proves that the audience loves to watch movies and is willing to go to the cinema to watch movies!"

"Most audiences watch movies to relax, so the movies should be entertaining, interesting, and talk about art on the basis of entertainment. "Lost in the Road" I was not ready to go deeper. It was just a comedy movie. Everyone laughed and it was over! I believe that as long as the directors shoot interesting stories and wonderful stories, more and more audiences will go to the theater to watch Chinese movies, and Chinese movies will become more and more prosperous!"

""Lost in the Road" is a very interesting movie. In fact, in addition to the real big production, I think most of the time when I make movies, I think the box office will tell you the answer!"

This is for sure!

When a group of film critics reviewing "Lost in the Road", they would add a sentence, "It's too entertaining and not like the works made by the best director!"

It seems that Zhang Junsheng does not go to human nature, and it is a sin to move towards society!

Our group of film critics are still immersed in the last century!

For more than 30 years since the mid-1980s, the standard line of Chinese films was not in China, but in Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and Los Angeles.

Only by photographing a Chinese image with a weak spirit, despicable heart, impetuous society, and darkness and incompetence can one be awarded the Art Medal.

Only by denying oneself and describing the West as a spiritual redeemer to cater to the artistic standards of Berlin, Cannes, Venice, and Los Angeles, can we win the secret award, and at the same time help the West become more at ease in the accusations of China's "human rights".

The kneelers agree with and accept the idea that the images of Chinese and Chinese should be like this in the movie:

Desolate and backward mountain village;

The ignorant people;

Numb and depraved human nature;

Strange and perverted sexual symbols...

This is the good movie in their eyes!

To put it bluntly, I have the Stockholm syndrome, I am used to kneeling and licking and kneeling, and I am used to eating shit while kneeling, so I asked Ya to stand up and be a human being and eat big white rice normally. Ya is not used to it, and I even paniced that I had to kneel down and eat shit like myself before I could stop.

Zhang Junsheng won the Oscar for Best Director, and his professional level cannot be questioned, so he is questioning his playing with the audience...

Unexpectedly, Zhang Junsheng actually said, "I didn't plan to go deeper from the beginning of "Lost in Thailand". It's just a comedy movie. Everyone laughed and it was over!"

"You said before that the box office of "Lost in Thailand" can reach 500 million? Why is it so sure?"

"Because the director is me!"

Zhang Junsheng is very confident...

Added: "In fact, comedy films are more restricted by national boundaries and culture, Chinese comedy is more down-to-earth and closer to the audience, while Hollywood movies cannot do this! So, I can do comedy, youth films, and then I will do science fiction films!"

"Lost in the Road" has a huge reputation, and many people praised it, "This is the best comedy movie in ten years!"

The audience's reputation has exploded, and the next step is to harvest the box office...

To be honest, if it weren't for "Avatar", Zhang Junsheng would be sure to achieve "Lost in the Road" of more than 800 million!

...

After the Beijing media meeting, the crew of "Lost in Thailand" flew to Songjiang that night...

The exclusive interview with "Sanlian" was held on the plane.

“Movies are certainly an art.”

"Just using box office to measure quality is too bad for colleagues. However, under the current conditions of China's film market, paying attention to box office and the feelings of ordinary audiences is far more valuable than talking about art in vain, because over the years, countless film experts have almost 'talked' Chinese films to death!"

"Art has become the best excuse for directors who don't want to be responsible to the audience to excuse themselves from their incompetence!"

"Ten years have passed in the new century. Among the younger generation of directors, those who are good at 'talking about art' have increased. In a vicious cycle without market reference, most of these young directors are no longer able to make movies, and they only rely on small quarrels that "touch the soul" to gambling. I hate such directors very much!"

"The movie should have a sense of reality, intimacy, and lifelike details. Only in this way will it be accepted by the audience!"

"Someone said, 'A good box office does not mean a good movie. If you watch a real good movie, you will think after watching it.'. I think this kind of person has a brain disease and you don't even have an audience. What are you talking about thinking?"

"Celebrity pay? How could this issue be mentioned?"

"You mean the films of "Lost in the Road" are not paid high?"

"…It's like that. You can ask. Any movie produced by Yuehua will not have a high salary for the starring actors. When the box office is released, we will make up for the salary after the share."

"Baoqiang is of course a very good comedian. An actor like him is rare in a century. He has a comedy effect, just like Li Lianjie's martial arts, and has become a unique qualification that others cannot imitate. Therefore, when they spread their wings and soar in the entertainment industry, even though others envy their success, it is difficult to copy and learn."

"Of course he is not the kind of actor who only knows how to smile foolishly. In fact, I think he is an actor with great acting skills. He debuted in "Blind Well" and the best newcomer in Golden Horse! Yuehua received a book called "Mr. Tree", which is very suitable for him..."

"The reason I look for Ren Quan is because his image and Baoqiang are naturally in opposition, which is very suitable for the two male protagonists in comedy films!"

"Brother Bo is because I want to add another line and add more jokes..."

"After "Lost in Thailand", I will film another movie "Lost in Thailand". When the IP of this series is mature, I will hand it over to other directors."

"Don't worry, in fact, "Lost in the World" is particularly suitable for making series. Road-style comedy is just a matter of adding burdens to it!"

After almost an hour, the interview was finally over. The reporter smiled and shook hands with Zhang Junsheng: "Thank you Director Zhang for accepting the interview. I wish you a great box office in "Lost in Thailand"!"

"Thanks…"

Has the box office of "Lost in Thailand" been awesome?

Almost, after the promotion started, the box office of "Lost in Thailand" on the second day had risen to 39 million in a single day, 10 million more than the first day!

Today I just want to sprint for 40 million...
Chapter completed!
