Chapter 473: Very poor quality
"The World of Truman" was produced by Duane, so he is more clear than anyone about the characteristics of this movie, the commercial value of the movie, and the impossible for this movie to create a global box office of more than 3 billion, unless... he doesn't know anything.
No matter what he thought, he felt that this movie could not create a global box office of more than 3 billion yuan, but others did not know, and the majority of viewers who didn't know what the movie was talking about were even more impossible to know. They only knew that Duane's box office has been steadily increasing, and the previous movie even broke the previous box office record. According to this rule, and with the fact that there is a very box office appeal this time, how could the box office of the movie "Truemon's World" be low?
"If this continues, even if "Trumen" has achieved a very good box office, which is higher than "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", everyone will still think that I was a failure and I suffered a Waterloo."
Duane looked ahead through the car window, talking nonstop.
He is now in Shu Yu's car, and Shu Yu is driving towards a nearby restaurant.
I haven't seen each other for a long time. I definitely want to have a meal together when I met. Duan happened to have some words in his stomach and didn't vomit, so the two of them got in a car, and their secretary and assistant drove Duan's car behind him.
"Because the expected value of this movie is only 20, but their expected value is 100. Even if "Trumen" performs extremely well to 30, it seems to be a very failure in their opinion. This is the result of the incorrect information. Once they develop this mentality, their enthusiasm for the movie I will make next will decrease, and they will even have a rebellious mentality."
"It's like I'm a stock. Now I've reached the peak and the daily limit is up. Investors are enthusiastic about me and I can't buy it even if I want to. But I know that my bad news will come out on the next opening day. By then, it is likely to trigger a wave of selling speculation. My stock price will drop significantly, and may even hit the daily limit."
Shu Yu drove the car quietly, her eyes never left the front, and she implemented the responsibilities of a driver well. At the same time, she also said "hmm", indicating that she was listening and also implemented the responsibilities of a listener well.
She could even ask back, "But maybe the box office will be quite high by then?"
Duane shook his head and said, "I can't make a conclusion yet. Judging from the commercial elements and my understanding of the market, the box office of this movie is destined to be high." He smiled mockingly, "But the most interesting thing is that I watched my value drop, but I can't save myself. I even have to work harder to push myself into this fire pit."
"The pre-season publicity plan of "Trumen" is quite conventional. It is to say good things, show your confidence in the movie, and cooperate with the media to look forward to a bright future, create momentum, etc. According to this publicity offensive, the more I brag at this time, the more painful it will hurt when the box office comes out, and the more disappointment the audience will be in this gap, the less confident in my next movie, and the more popular it will be lost. But I can't say I have no confidence in the box office of this movie. I can only put myself on the fire and watch my popularity go downhill."
From the beginning of entering the entertainment industry, Duane's popularity has been steadily increasing, but now he knows clearly that his popularity will decline. No wonder he is in a bad mood. No one is happy to receive bad news.
Shu Yu continued: "Yes, you can't tell the media that this movie is bad, so that they don't expect too much from this movie. This is unruly."
Duan turned his head and glanced at Shu Yu, his eyes flashed.
Although it has not been long since we met Shu Yu today, Shu Yu didn't say much, and it seems that it is no different from before, but Shu Yu's initiative in dialogue still made him keenly notice the changes in Shu Yu. If it were the past, he would have been chattering like this here. Shu Yu should have said nothing, at most "um" it, but she had already taken the initiative to say a few more nonsense.
It seems that although Shu Yu and Fang's family's contact seemed hypocritical and incomprehensible to him, her personality has indeed changed a little, at least she is not as introverted as before.
"Who said no?"
Duane took Shu Yu's words.
"Although I don't have any good feelings for my family, I still can't do such things. After all, I still need to have professional qualities and quality..."
This is what Duane is most annoying: the only way for him to get rid of this current predicament is to let everyone know that this is not a commercial film, and the box office will definitely not be high. Don’t have too many expectations. Audiences who hope to see wonderful commercial films will not go to the cinema to watch it. In this way, although the adverse impact of the box office gap in "Trumen" on himself cannot be completely eliminated, it can be somewhat alleviated. It will not be like the current situation. As the publicity offensive deepens step by step, the situation will only get worse and worse.
But how could he do this?
After he did this, he took the initiative to push the audience out of the cinema door. What would the investor think? What would the theater chain think? If he wants to find some big names to cooperate in the future, what would the other party think? After all, Du An has had a bad record of demolishing his own station. Who would be willing to cooperate with such a person who demolished his own station? Do you still want to think about it? If you find an investor and a joint venture, then you don’t have to think about it. Who would be willing to invest in a director who demolished his own station? Do you still want to make a profit?
This is why no one in the circle will say that the works they participated in are not good. Even if they know that this is a piece of shit, when others ask, they will smile and say with confidence, "This TV series is so good, this movie is so good, which is the most interesting role I have ever played." This is not only related to their interests in this TV series or movie, but also to their long-term development in the future. If you can't even do this, you don't have to stay in the entertainment industry.
"You have quality..."
Du An seemed to think of something, his eyes gradually became empty, and he murmured and repeated the sentence just now twice, "You must be of quality, you must be of quality..."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he figured out something, and blurted out a sentence.
"Have the qualities of his sister!"
Shu Yu was frightened by his sudden words and his body trembled slightly, but his hands were still stable and the car was not tilted.
"What are you doing?!"
Shu Yu was a little angry and took the time to glar at Du An.
It seems that she was really scared by that moment, and this facial paralysis would be glaring at people.
Duane didn't care. With their relationship, he didn't apologize, but just laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just figured out some things."
"Why can't I tell the media the truth about this movie? Why can't I let them not have too much expectations for this movie? Why can't I tell people who don't like this type of movie and let them not go to the cinema?"
Du An asked several questions in a row, and then answered by himself: "I just want to explain it to them. This is a fucking art film. If you want to watch the fun, don't go to the cinema as soon as possible. I just want to explain it to them. Don't brag about this movie. I'll be satisfied with 2 billion, and 1.5 billion is not unacceptable!"
Shu Yu drove quietly and listened, and heard a sentence at the end, "The parallelism is good, but there is no 'explanation'."
He was so cheerful and could even joke, but he was still an introverted and paralyzed person. He didn't show any surprise when he heard Du An's abnormal words.
Du An thought so, turned his head and looked at Shu Yu, thought for a while, and added another sentence according to her meaning: "I just want to explain to them clearly. Du An is a person who can destroy his own position like this."
"Because I'm extremely poor in quality!"
Shu Yu listened silently and affirmed, "Well, your quality is quite poor. Fang Liyong knew that he would want to break you up."
Du An smiled when he heard this, "I don't think so. Instead, I think he will think that my desk is well-destroyed, well-destroyed, and screaming obediently."
It happened to be a crossroads now, with a red light opposite. Shu Yu stopped the car, turned her head and said to Du An.
"Then he must be sick." (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.) 17-03-08 01:01:26
