Chapter 169 "Happy Times" overturns! Does Wang Yu overturn the old man?(1/2)
The expectations of "Happy Time" should be about 100 million, at least Zhang Yimou's fame, plus the previous audition reality show.
It is impossible to have a big momentum.
So, of course, there are many people in the circle who are following this movie, and the Wang brothers are a very special pair.
"Brother, what kind of awesome box office can Lao Tou achieve this time?"
"I can't tell you this."
"No, why do I listen? Brother, you don't seem to be optimistic."
"Oh, do you think you are optimistic about Lao Taozi?"
"This score is two points. Lao Tozi is still very good at this person, but he is our opponent after all. If he is okay, what should we do?"
"Hehe, that's the reason, but this time, I think we are a little timid."
"How to say it?"
"Old Taozi is too cautious. After a few words from the movie fans, he went back to reshoot. This move seems to care about the movie fans and respect the fans' suggestions, but in my opinion, he probably has no confidence."
“No confidence?”
"Teacher Benshan and Teacher Li Xuejian have joined. He doesn't have confidence yet? Who else should I give him? Moreover, I think that happy girl is also pretty and pure."
"Dead, don't just watch other girls..."
The two men of the Wang brothers talked about girls while talking about the movie. For both of them, it was nothing, it was common.
However, one thing the boss of the Wang family is reasonable, that is, Zhang Yimou's abnormal performance in this movie.
As for reshooting?
If it were Feng Xiaogang, what would he do?
If it were Chen Kaige, what would he do?
One may shout trash audience! The other one will definitely say that the audience cannot understand!
From this perspective, Zhang Yimou is pretty good, but it is indeed questionable to make a direct remake.
The second son of the Wang family was happy.
"This movie is going to be smashed?"
The boss of the Wang family smiled, but mentioned another thing, "Did you notice "Incense"?"
"Ah?" The second brother didn't understand.
The boss pondered: "Teacher Feng mentioned to me before that Wang Yu has also gone to the Northeast. He was doing the premiere. This is indeed no problem. However, have you thought about the shot of the cardboard box that I blew on the Internet recently?"
"This..." The second brother thought for a long time before he said suddenly: "What the cardboard lens wants to express has something to do with laid-off workers?!"
The boss nodded directly.
The second brother frowned, "Then what exactly does he want to convey? He..."
The boss said helplessly: "Anyway, there is no bad thing to convey. On the contrary, if Shi Kang said, this shot is positive, even better than "Start from the Start".
The two brothers looked at each other, which was quite complicated.
"Why did that Wang Yu take a photo like this?"
"I don't know, but I always feel a kind of chivalrous spirit."
"What chivalrous?"
"The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people. If his film can inspire many people, wouldn't it be like a hero?"
"By him? Haha... a young man, wait a moment, if Lao Taozi can't make a fuss this time..."
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about."
What is the boss of the Wang family worried about?
Obviously, if Lao Taozi fails and Wang Yu takes the opportunity, then they are not multiple opponents.
For a moment, it became even more complicated. They hoped that Lao Tozi would be over this film, but they didn't want Wang Yu to get a bargain.
Will it be what they wish?
...
"Happy Times" is full of laughter!"
"The box office is not good! Zhang Yimou has become a box office poison?"
"From the early days of many major cities, "Happy Time" did not achieve great results!"
It's coming, it's coming very quickly.
On the last day of 2000, "Happy Time" was released, and less than a week later, market reactions in many places came.
The box office didn't meet expectations!
At this time, the film market was still built on a city by city.
Of course, many are based on theaters, and they form an alliance, which looks like an urban agglomeration.
However, overall, it can be divided into several key points.
Northeast, Beijing, nearby Yangtze River Delta... As for a northern comedy, there are about one of the key markets.
It’s not that there aren’t anywhere else, but that it’s very difficult in the current chaotic film market.
Like the Lingnan region, although the economic level is good and the number of theaters is large, the box office of northern comedy is mostly average.
Even a master director like Zhang Yimou cannot violate the laws of the market. "Happy Time" was released after reproduction, and the result was shocking.
After the release of the Magic City, the total box office results have been only a total of more than 100,000 yuan.
It's simply incredible.
After the news came out, it immediately attracted criticism from the media.
Has Zhang Yimou become a box office poison?
This result soon affected "Incense".
...
Judging from the map, starting from the capital to Chang'an, it should be a southwest direction.
From a latitude, the capital is higher than Chang'an, but Wang Yu did not choose this way.
He first walked north.
Some people may not know much about it. The capital is really not far from the desert.
Although Wang Yu did not have to drive into the desert to test the off-road performance of the Big G, he felt a vast feeling not long after he left Beijing.
But now...
"Senior brother! So awesome!"
"No, you can speak well."
"Please forgive my excitement. There is no way. It's so awesome. Lao Touzi won't do this time! Do you know? Lao Duo and Lao Duo come over and ask for our copy!"
"I'm talking about the slogan, don't talk nonsense, Teacher Zhang is your first senior brother."
"Oh, yes, I understand, but this time, we're really going to be popular!"
Wang Yu was cheering up, and Ning Hao's phone number came in.
This guy is going crazy, but it is understandable. After all, Lao Taozi failed this time.
To be honest, Wang Yu is really proud of this matter.
As a time traveler, he really made full use of his strengths this time!
"Happy Time" will fail, he knows this, and he was given such a chance before.
It is obvious that there are too few movies in the New Year holiday this year, and their "Incense" is just a way to make up for the shortcomings.
Others would never have thought that such a small-scale movie would actually sing a big show.
To be honest, Wang Yu started his ground pushing campaign from the Northeast. He actually wanted to boost people's hearts through the "Light" he added in this movie.
He did it intentionally for the instant noodles box.
But he himself didn't know what the effect was.
Like Shi Kang's squirting, he felt that it was too much after watching it.
But now, he has at least done his best.
As for what Ru Ning said...
We are just starting this time, and we can't reach the fire.
Wang Yu and Ning Hao are both making movies for the first time, Huang Bo and Yaya are both newcomers, and they are new in the movie field. What will people in the movie market think of them?
Therefore, it is impossible to give high-standard treatment, just like in the early stages, the copy was indeed good, but it was just good.
To be continued...
