Chapter 66 Good reputation, box office
The so-called Shura battlefield refers to the war between Asura and Indra in Hindu and Buddhist cases.
Asura and Indra are two gods in Indian mythology who are enemies. Asuras have beauties but no food, but Indra has food but no beauty. They are jealous of each other, so they start fighting whenever they have disagreements.
Every war they fought fiercely, every war was filled with blood, and no soldiers survived. Therefore, later generations turned such a battlefield into a Shura battlefield, mainly to express the cruelty of the war.
Of course, in Japanese comics, it refers to a scene that is popular in love triangles or polyangs. The heroines appear one after another, for example, on the surface, two girls politely praise each other... In fact, they are smiling with a knife hidden in their smile... (See the first Shura scene in "Born in 1984", which is written in the later part too shit...)
It is very appropriate for Lu Yangba's "Embroidered Spring Sword 2" to be named "Shura Battlefield".
In addition to the cruelty of the war, it also extends to the meaning of war. Chen Lian, Lu Wenzhao's confrontation with the Ming army was actually meaningless. It was just that he was loyal to King Xin, and King Xin wanted to silence them. This cruel Shura field was just a purge of the chess game, without justice and evil, only life and death.
At the end of the movie, subtitles appeared on the big screen. Many viewers stood up and were about to leave. Suddenly the camera changed, and two young men who competed with each other appeared. Both of them were dressed in ronin. The difference was that the weapons they used were short. The shorter ones used a pair of short swords, fierce and fierce, and extremely fast. The slightly taller hairstyle was weird, with both sides shaved and left to the waist. A few hairs in front of the forehead stood one by one, like a chopstick, holding a long-handled Eastern sword in hand. The handle was extremely long, and there was still more to hold the hands tightly.
They are actors Yu Shaoqun and Zhou Yiwei!
"…This is Ding Xiu and Jin Yichuan! Wow, it's time to shoot a sequel!"
"No, why isn't Xu Hui?"
"Is this Zhou Yiwei?"
"…I don't like Zhou Yiwei, I want Xu Hui!"
Damn it, I can only say that Ding Xiu is too charming, which actually covers up the entire plot...
However, there are still people discussing the plot, and Xu Hui heard it very clearly.
"The movie is good! Finally there is a domestic movie that can be watched!"
"Hey, did Hokage fall in love with Chen Lian?"
"I'm more concerned about why I don't cut off the suspension bridge and have to show a killing?"
“…It’s true that Hokusai is running back, and I can’t accept it!”
"…Stop complaining, I think it's very good. I can see that the entire director team is working hard on a domestic movie!"
Xu Hui was originally planning to leave the venue five minutes ago, but unfortunately, the buns had to be finished...
There is no way, so I can only wait for everyone to leave and sneak out before the next wave of people enter the venue.
In fact, when the last climax scene was discussed, Xu Hui thought the suspension bridge was unreasonable. He could clearly cut off the suspension bridge so that the pursuers could not catch up. Why did Mao insist that Hokagesai leave alone?
But Lu Yang was very stubborn, and he felt it was reasonable, "because of Chen Lian's reasonable choice in his heart. First, he had to distance between Hokage and the pursuers, so that Hokage had enough time to escape. Second, Chen Lian did not intend to die. He believed that he could defeat Lu Wenzhao and survive. Moreover, Chen Lian and Pei Lun did defeat Lu Wenzhao. This proved that Chen Lian's judgment was correct: there was no need to cut the bridge at all..."
Faced with the stubborn director and screenwriter, Xu Hui really wanted to overturn the table and scold, "You are a genius, why not go to the sky?"
After thinking about it, I still endured it.
After all, Lu Yang is not a bug like Xu Hui, and his mind has never been shining, so he persuaded calmly.
Who knew that Lu Yang was like a stubborn donkey and insisted on filming this suspension bridge scene. He was so desperate that he could not die that he could return halfway through Hokusai, probably to show the love between the hero and the heroine...
Congratulations to Chen Lian, who finally became a regular backup tire and successfully got into a promising job as a buyer?
It's already very good, at least it doesn't have the same kind of Hollywood blockbusters as before...
...
On the way back to the hotel, Zhao Baozi was in a bad mood.
On the one hand, it is because the plot of "The Embroidered Spring Sword 2" itself is very hard, the bitter and the bitter Hokage, the bitter world;
On the other hand, it was because Xu Hui answered a phone call while fiddling with her body, and then stopped...
mmmp, I'm just being picked up, so you don't want to do it?
What does it mean? What do I mean?
It’s really not to blame Xu Hui. He just answered Huang Wen’s call. The box office of the first game of "Embroidered Spring Sword 2" has been released, and the real-time box office shows a total box office of 2.2 million...
Well, it's not so good. First of all, the screening rate of "Embroidered Chun Dao 2" today is 24%, which means that there are nearly 6,000 screenings. The results of the first screening in the same period are released, which means that 2,400 screenings are over.
Only 2,400 games have received a box office of 2.2 million, which means that the attendance rate is only less than 30%...
This is a very dangerous signal, which means that those who have the idea of watching the movie "Embroidered Chun Dao 2" are far lower than the theaters' expectations!
Generally speaking, if a movie with high expectations is released, the attendance rate will be close to 70%!
Although it is working hours now and the audience does not have time to watch movies is also a reason for the low attendance of the movies, when "Huang Feihong" was released, the first day of "New Dragon Inn" was released, it was full of events!
Xu Hui knew it very well that the total box office of "The Embroidered Spring Sword 2" is likely to not reach 150 million...
Although the total investment is less than 40 million, the box office of 150 million is enough to ensure the profit of the project "Embroidered Spring Sword 2", this is a work that is prepared for serialization. If the box office is not good, it is difficult to get the board of directors to agree to continue serialization...
The most important thing is that this will be a blow to Lu Yang.
When "The Embroidered Spring Sword" was handed over to him, it was the most anticipated series...
15 million was exchanged for a total box office of 170 million;
Now, forty million is only exchanged for 150 million...
Can't accept it!
Unless your reputation can be popular!
However, even if the reputation is popular, it may not necessarily lead to a happy box office. After all, the style of "Embroidered Spring Sword 2" is so depressing...
In 2012, Huiwen's first cannon may not be fired!
Paohui has no thoughts or thoughts, what is Guan Bao’s joy?
...
Lu Yang and Deng Chao also received timely box office statistics, and the two of them roughly converted it. Even if the attendance rate of the last two sessions doubled, today's total box office was estimated to be more than 10 million.
The first day of the first movie was not yet high!
The first movie "Embroidered Spring Sword" released in June 2008, although Huayi has exaggerated publicity, it actually won a box office of 18 million on the first day!
If the box office is not very good, I can only hope that word of mouth can be saved.
“…Look at the audience’s reaction…”
Deng Chao comforted him in this way.
He knew that this thing would definitely be a blow to Lu Yang...
Who is so fucking that you are not Xu Hui!
"There is no eternal love? Three months later, this scumbag Chen Lian fell in love with Li Lianhua!"
"The sequel has no dog-tail sequel, which is considered an unexpected surprise. The overall quality of the upper part is maintained, the painting style is exquisite, and the costumes continue to be the best. The stern embroidered spring sword and the gorgeous flying fish suit are a kind of beauty. The movie has many highlights, Hokage is one of them, she carries too much, and Zhao Baozi has a good grasp of the character of this character, and both tolerance and unruly are fully expressed!"
"It's much better than the first part, except for the emotional scenes, it's still ugly. I feel that this director Lu Yang's photography and action design have become his own style, making people in the martial arts world. The set seems to be covered with a layer of dense drizzle, darkness grabbing people. A large number of long-lasting motion mirrors that follow the steps, and the knife skills are fast and neat. Inheriting the theme of the first part, the little people finally become humble and become chess pieces, and the mechanism will be regretful for the rest of their lives. The story is calm and the style is mysterious..."
"San and a half stars, compared to the previous one, there is obviously more investment. The details of art, costumes, props, etc. have been significantly improved. As a costume Chinese film, the film is obviously prepared very carefully and has increased credibility. However, the narrative part is actually slightly weaker than the previous one, with great ambitions, but it is not as simple and direct as the previous one. The male actors are collectively outstanding, especially the role of Lei Jiayin, which is a bit evil. The art is really great!"
There are many positive reviews, and the overall score has reached 7.8 points.
The reputation is not bad, and now I am waiting for the reputation to spread!
Yet...
The situation is now. Even if the reputation spreads, there will be only one week left for "Shura Battlefield"!
Because "Avengers" will be available in a week.
As the first phase of the Marvel Universe, Disney and Marvel cannot allow their Marvel movie plans to be blocked. They will definitely make a big work that surprises the audience!
This is true. "Avengers" not only made a 617 million US dollars in North America, but also won a box office of 1.5 billion US dollars worldwide!
It has directly set off a Marvel superhero trend...
Worse, the Chinese box office of this movie is not bad. In the original time and space, "Women's Federation" successfully took over "Titanic 3D" and completed two months of Chinese domination record...
For profit considerations, theaters will also schedule more films for "Women's Federation"...
...
On May 4th, the third stop of the roadshow was in Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Lu Yang, as the director, was interviewed by the media.
"Director Lu Yang, many viewers compare your "Shura Battlefield" with "Embroidered Chunjian" directed by Xu Hui. What they talk about most is the box office. Do you care about the box office director?"
"The needs of the audience are actually changing, and they have completely different criteria for judging movies. What we need to do is to tell our stories to the audience and get their feedback, rather than telling some things the audience wants to hear. Movies like "The Embroidered Spring Sword" are definitely not the style that everyone likes, because it is very serious. As for the box office, of course I hope the box office is very high. No director does not want his works to achieve good results..."
"What do you think about the five days of release? Although "Embroidered Spring Sword 2" has a huge reputation, its box office still fails to exceed 100 million?"
Chapter completed!
