Chapter 409: 96 Million on the First Day (3/5)

Zhang Junsheng is the leading director in the country!

"Crazy Stone" is known as a structural innovation in the history of film.

Although many film critics don’t like Zhang Junsheng and think he doesn’t spend his energy on exploring human nature and criticizing political axes, they still admire him very much.

After all, he won a series of awards, including the Palme d'Or, the Best Director of the Oscar...

"The Great Tangshan Earthquake", a topic-setting essay, has exceeded many people's expectations!

But "Super Body"...

I felt that Zhang Junsheng caught a concept, so he started to tinker with a hurry, not caring about the details...

Complete popcorn movie!

What's the point of this?

...

Well, the concept of film critics is aside, let’s take a look at the premiere.

The audience was very satisfied and enjoyed a visual feast!

And if you savor it carefully, it seems to have a very philosophical taste...

Interview with reporters: "Director, what does Lucy mean with the last sentence 'I'm everywhere'?"

"It is the literal meaning. Of course, you can also understand it as 'no self-image, human appearance, sentient being appearance, and longevity', 'Tathagata has nowhere to come from and nowhere to go, so it is called Tathagata'... I did read the Diamond Sutra..."

"Why do you make such a movie?"

"Two years ago, I participated in the Golden Globe Awards. Someone said something that I still remember fresh in my memory. He said, 'The mainstream film market is pretty good, we don't have to worry, we should care more about small and medium-sized films. This is what the mature market should do.' But that's the North American market, their mainstream large productions are very stable! What about us? I made up my mind at that time and refused to make any "great", "exquisite" and "awesome" movies. Just make some popcorn movies, mainstream commercial films that make the audience willing to buy tickets!"

"So can you tell me what is a mainstream movie?"

"Mainstream movies do not mean that as long as you make money, it is, the film industry must of course pursue commercial profits. However, every investor and filmmaker engaged in mainstream commercial films have more or less shoulders the responsibility and obligations of awe of the film industry itself, even if that kind of awe is only a little bit. If there is no trace of awe, all that is left is the naked pursuit of profit returns. I can only say that you have entered the wrong industry. In fact, many other industries are more profitable than the film industry. There is really no need for such people to choose to invest in movies."

"This year's New Year holiday, I'm sorry to let everyone enjoy a bunch of bad movies. Fortunately, the audience is no longer willing to buy it..."

"Our Yuehua's obligation is to seize the market with Hollywood blockbusters, so this year we launched "The Great Wall", "The Travel to the Hong Kong River", and "Super Body"..."

"Then how do you evaluate "Super Body"?"

Zhang Junsheng handed the microphone forward: "...What do you think?"

"good!"

Of course they think it's good. Those who can premiere are all Zhang Junsheng's fans. Not to mention that "Super Body" is really good, even if he filmed "Super Factor", they will still applaud!

...

"Pay attention to audience feedback!"

"Guide Douban, Time Network's reputation..."

"Don't worry about it when you look at it, it won't do much of a role for the time being!"

"Arranging a few variety shows, I want to go on it!"

"Scarlett... has to go back to North America, and North America has to rely on her to promote it!"

“I should be in the country for a week…”

After the premiere, Zhang Junsheng received a call from An Yugang, who is the chief planner of the promotion of "Super Body"...

"Shui Army? First hire a group of people to give a good review. By the way, let's guide the scandal between Scarlett and Xu Yan!"

"... Just say that they used to live in the same room... Don't worry, during the publicity period, they will be intimate in all kinds of things!"

"Well, that's it."

Originally, Zhang Junsheng wanted to hype up his scandal with Scarlett. Some time ago, there was a tabloid in North America reporting on the friendship between Xu Yan and Scarlett, which actually attracted more than one million views...

Then change the direction...

It's also good, no need to sell your looks anymore!

At the end of the premiere, a bunch of pre-prepared film reviews and marketing press releases.

"If you can understand, you will know that this is a movie about the path to becoming a Buddha", "Most people may regard "superbody" as a classic in the future", "A movie that can withstand the test of time", "A movie that can only be understood by those who have a certain amount of knowledge"

Of course, there are also a bunch of intimate photos of Xu Yan and Scarlett Johnson...

"Super Body" official Weibo account personally: Do you think the widowed sister is like a match for Chunli?

...

It was already two o'clock in the morning when we arrived in Songjiang.

After getting off the plane, Zhang Junsheng quickly took out his cell phone and took a look.

96 million…

On the 15th, "Super Body" contributed 92% of the box office in the whole day with a 62% scheduling and a 65% attendance rate, and won 96 million, becoming the well-deserved Chinese-language film with the highest box office in the first day of Chinese film history.

He was satisfied!

Of course, it is not all good news, at least it hit a new low in Zhang Junsheng's movies in terms of reputation!

The Douban score is only 6.7 points, and the Time Network score is only 7.2 points.

"Tangshan Earthquake" has a score of 8.2 points...

Zhang Junsheng was speechless...

The original Douban score of "Super Body" was 7.2 points, and it was considered a magical film full of philosophy by a bunch of people. By Zhang Junsheng, it was a passing film with only 6.7 points...

"In order to make a big profit in the global market, Zhang Junsheng gave up narrative logic and character creation. He was in a state of "if you can't continue to edit it, you just won't write it." He only relied on a concept gimmick to sway the market, making this film look so stupid and disabled, but fortunately it's so stupid."

"I have no expectations for businessman Zhang Junsheng. If you have any creativity, you can make a semi-finished product! This time, there is a concept of "if human brain cells are developed to 100%". There is no character creation, no plot tension, some gangster scenes, and superhero-style settings. The dramatic conflict has become very small. In the end, I will make a lot of effort into such a spiritual science charlatan science and education film..."

"The stupidest movie I have seen recently is nothing to do, it's meaningless, I don't understand why I was filmed!"

Zhang Junsheng thought it was acceptable to the first two negative reviews, after all, "Super Body" is really unrestrained...

But he was very dissatisfied with the last one!

In this logic, what is the significance of "Transformers" and "Marvel Movies"?

Forget it, he doesn't have the same knowledge as these people. In "Super Body", he was not ready to please everyone...

What you want is a global big sale!

Scarlett glanced at his phone and said happily: "…Zhang, the first day of North America box office is released!"

“Oh, how many are there?”

“$17.52 million!”

“…It’s not bad!”

Next, Zhang Junsheng gave up with the phone call. Scarlett continued: "The reputation is not very good. The popcorn index of Rotten Tomatoes is only 76%. There is also IMDb, and the score is only 6.4 points..."

"So low?"

"…It's okay, Tingfeng's box office forecast for this film is $180 million..."

"ah?"

Zhang Junsheng was a little confused...
Chapter completed!
