Chapter 164 How can this be blamed on me?
Luo Zihang had wonderful thoughts, but before he finished a game, Ma Weisheng called...
"The response to the movie has been very good, and the box office of the premiere and subsequent trends are also very good. It may even break the first-day box office record, so... it's time to get to work!"
"...I want to apply for leave!"
"Don't make trouble, you are the leading actor. How could I miss you during the movie promotion?" Ma Weisheng knew that Luo Zihang's salty fish disease had occurred again, so he persuaded him earnestly: "Although you didn't get a share of the box office, if the movie's performance this time
Well, as the absolute protagonist, you have many benefits, and we can also start to ask for a share of the box office for the next movie..."
After a pause, he continued: "But if the box office of the movie is average, or not good enough, such a request is unlikely to be accepted."
"Didn't I say that it's going to break the box office record? Then it doesn't matter if I go to promote it, right? That's all... Actually, it's pretty good not to be the starring role... You don't have to be so busy..." Luo Zihang muttered in a lazy voice.
He was completely unmoved by Ma Weisheng's paintings. When he was a salty fish, he didn't even want to be a protagonist. Wouldn't it be nice to play a supporting role and then go to the dungeon to cause trouble?
Of course, this was Luo Zihang's idea in his early days. Under normal circumstances, he would still want to play a starring role. After all, starring can gain more popularity. Even if he wants to leave his job and enjoy life, he has to fix the system first...
At least the mall or lottery function must be repaired.
Ma Weisheng was also used to Luo Zihang's various complaints after finishing his work for a while, so he pretended not to hear them, and continued: "The box office on the first day was excellent, and there are many crotch-stretching movies in the future. Now is not the time for us to relax.
The most important thing is... in the contract we signed with the producer, we have the obligation to cooperate with the publicity."
"Sigh... So when can we sign a contract that doesn't require us to cooperate with publicity?" Luo Zihang also knew that his struggle was meaningless, but he still couldn't help but muttered.
"In addition, your first album contains a promotional song for the movie, which happened to be promoted together. The sales volume of the album is linked to your income. You can't just ignore this, right?" Ma Weisheng continued to ignore his complaints,
Then he told him some "unfortunate" news.
Damn! I even forgot that I even released an album!
As for how much money the album can earn, Luo Zihang is not too concerned about it now. He is more concerned about...
Doesn’t that mean that my work will increase again?
"...I really believed your lies back then and actually went out to release some kind of album." Luo Zihang said through gritted teeth.
Ma Weisheng continued to pretend not to hear, and asked tentatively: "Also, if the final sales and reviews of this album are good, do you want to try to hold a concert? The scale does not need to be too big, let's do a concert of five hundred to one first.
Try the LiveHouse with thousands of people and get the response.”
"Daydreaming!" Luo Zihang refused decisively: "What kind of concert should we hold? I don't have the skills!"
"Okay... let's discuss it later."
Ma Weisheng, who felt that Luo Zihang was a little impatient, had no choice but to put the plan aside temporarily, planning to wait until the movie promotion was over and give him two days off before bringing it up again.
Then he briefly explained to Luo Zihang the specific content and time schedule of the subsequent publicity work, and then hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Luo Zihang was not in the mood to continue playing games. He sat in his seat and sighed for a while before reopening the web page...
He planned to see how his album was received by the public.
After entering the Internet era, the record industry has been greatly impacted. The sales of physical records have dropped again and again. However, on the other hand, the emergence of digital music has greatly increased the dissemination ability of songs. Fans no longer need to go to stores to purchase, and
There is no need to worry about out-of-stock situations. You can purchase the songs you want to listen to just by clicking your mouse or mobile phone screen at home.
Therefore, compared with the evaluation of the movie, the feedback speed of the song is much faster, and with Luo Zihang's current status in the music circle, whether it is positive publicity or negative promotion, it is not taken too seriously. The trolls in the comments
There aren’t that many ingredients.
Of course, in contrast, the more well-known music critics will not pay attention to him immediately. Except for the two big-shot music critics specially arranged by the company, most of the reviews are from less famous music critics.
Written by Renren and Shadiao netizens.
Excluding the reviews from patients who are addicted to "Destiny", there are actually a few reviews for the songs in Luo Zihang's album.
Apart from "Destiny", the promotional song for "Yi Tian Tu" has received the most comments...
After all, this was released in advance, and resources were spent to promote it, and it can also promote each other with the movie. But because of this, the reviewer has already commented on it. After the movie was released, there were no new comments on this song.
It wasn't much, so Luo Zihang glanced at it and skipped it.
The next more popular ones are the two new songs in the same style as "Destiny". Just like Luo Zihang's own feelings, the quality of these two songs is not worse than "Destiny", and the degree of illness has also been improved.
All the netizens unanimously agreed that the comment area below is basically no different from "Destiny".
Except for these four songs, the number of comments and discussion enthusiasm of the other six songs are obviously not at the same level. However, with the blessing of Luo Zihang's outstanding singing skills, the overall evaluation is pretty good. Even if there are occasional negative reviews, it is because
I don’t like the style of the song, and I have no opinion on Luo Zihang’s singing skills or the ability of the tuner...
Well, just like when the promotional song was released before, after listening to the song, netizens began to discuss Luo Zihang's singing skills in this album. Is his singing skills improved a lot, or is he replaced by a better one?
The tuner was approved.
Of course, even netizens who think Luo Zihang's singing skills have improved greatly still think that the tuner's help is involved...
Anyway, no one would believe that Luo Zihang, an idol who was bad at both singing and dancing, could make an earth-shaking change in his singing skills in such a short period of time.
It's just different from when the promotional song was released. Luo Zihang looked at these guys who doubted his singing skills, and his heart didn't waver.
The main reason is that he has stayed in the dungeon for too long, and he no longer feels the aggrieved feeling he felt when he was forced by the music director to practice singing, but was questioned by others about how hard he could practice singing.
In the next few days, Luo Zihang traveled around with the film's main creative staff, constantly attending shows, road shows, and participating in other types of promotional activities. The box office of "Yi Tian Tu" was also rising steadily with their efforts.
.
It's just that as time goes by and more and more people watch the movie, the movie's evaluation is not as high as it was at the beginning.
To put it simply, it has dropped from rave reviews to extremely positive reviews, and even has a tendency to slip towards mostly positive reviews.
After all, in terms of plot, "Yi Tian Tu" is really not outstanding. After the excitement of popcorn, the number of netizens who criticized it gradually increased. In addition, some film critics who mainly badmouthed the line also began to take action.
The decrease in evaluation is natural.
This situation was actually expected by the investors and the creative team. Anyway, the film’s return on investment is already certain, and judging from the current box office trend, this level of negative reviews will not have a negative impact on their film.
What an obvious impact.
The only thing that may have an impact on them is another special effects blockbuster three days later. Other than that, during this period of time, "Yi Tian Tu" has no worthy competitors.
Of course, such a situation is not a matter of luck. Except for a few companies with deep grievances, most major productions will consciously stagger the release times of each other to avoid hurting both sides.
Like what is written in many entertainment novels, it is basically impossible to fight for the same time slot for the sake of a trivial matter.
After all, who would have trouble with money?
However, there are only so many good release times. No matter how much everyone negotiates with each other, it is impossible to avoid all opponents perfectly. This is the case for the special effects blockbuster a week later. The ten-day staggered time is already behind the scenes of two movies.
The best situation that capital can obtain.
In fact, a week before the release of "Yi Tian Tu", there was another special effects blockbuster released, but that movie overturned, and it was from a movie with poor quality to the lead actor's house collapse, so there was no response to "Yi Tian Tu" at all.
"Tiantu" has any impact, even because of the other party's crotch pulling, so movie fans are in urgent need of a high-quality special effects blockbuster to wash their eyes.
And "Yi Tian Tu" happens to be such a movie, which also led to the audience's enthusiasm being much higher than expected.
In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon in the film and television industry, that is, it is relatively rare for a movie that overturns to bring several situations together.
However, some good people attributed this overturn to Luo Zihang's good luck, and it was actually recognized by many people. There were even fans of the star whose house collapsed, who came to Luo Zihang's blog to accuse him.
It hurt my own giegie...
It can only be said that Luo Zihang's koi character is really getting more and more popular among people.
…
After a week of intensive publicity, Luo Zihang's work did not decrease, and the producers and investors soon launched a second wave of publicity offensive.
The most important thing about this type of blockbuster with special effects and IP is that in the first few days after its release, the box office has actually begun to drop significantly in the second week. But even so, the box office revenue of "Yi Tian Tu" is still considerable, and it is returning to
After that, every additional ticket sold is making money. Of course, the capitalists cannot just let go of these benefits.
And according to the box office rules of movies of the same type, the box office potential of this kind of IP movie can last for three weeks. Now that they have only made money for a week, of course they will not be satisfied.
Besides, there was another special effects blockbuster coming out in the second week, so of course they had to be ready to face the challenge.
Well, staggered release times are still staggered release times, but those who should compete still have to compete. From the director to the producers to the investors, they have no intention of giving away the benefits so easily.
Besides...
Maybe this movie overturned again?
Or some unexpected incident may occur, allowing "Yitian Tu" to continue to maintain its popularity, such as... the "Luo Zihang Phenomenon" or something like that.
Everyone always has an inexplicable confidence in the good luck of the "human koi".
In addition, the crew also disclosed the fact that "the script was originally revised, but was changed back because the new script was not enough to showcase Luo Zihang's skills."
Although some sand sculpture netizens have become a little "aesthetically tired", there are always people who join in the fun. The box office of "Yi Tian Tu" has actually increased slightly because of this topic.
Then a few days later, the box office curve of "Yi Tian Tu" increased slightly again due to boring topics such as "That's it? This time the 'Luo Zihang phenomenon' is a bit lagging."
It made all the friends and businessmen feel pain in their faces.
However, what is even more distressing is the creators and investors of the special effects blockbuster "Flying Dragon", which was originally planned to be released this week.
Their movies are not overturned...
To be continued...
