Chapter 480: Heartbroken, old iron
No one knows what the box office of a movie will be, especially non-cast members, who can only guess from the composition and investment scale of the crew. In today's China, the composition of personnel is much more important than the investment scale. A movie with an investment scale of 300 million and a second-tier personnel is a second-tier personnel. Its money-making ability is definitely not as good as a movie with an investment scale of only 100 million, but a front-tier personnel are all front-tier personnel.
"Trumen's World" is such a movie.
In terms of production cost, the number announced by "Trumen's World" is 130 million, which is completely incomparable to the 400 million announced by "Liberation Day". In terms of production cost, "Trumen's World" completely lost; in terms of personnel composition, "Trumen's World" has two winning points, Duane and Zhou Xingchi, and "Liberation Day" has Duane, Zhang Yimou, Liang Jiahui, Zhu Qian, Jia Hongsheng, etc., and n many winning points. It seems that "Trumen's World" has completely lost, but it is not.
The first is Duane.
Before the release of "Liberation Day", Du Ang won a great victory at the Huabiao Awards, wearing the title of "supernova director" on his head, and was the number one young director, but he was the number one young director. At that time, he still could not compete with veteran directors like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. However, before the release of "Trumen's World", this situation was different: for Du An now, fewer and fewer people have called him by the words "new director" because he not only made his debut at the Huabiao Awards and proved his talent, but also set a world record at the box office. He has done something that most veteran directors cannot do.
He has changed from a newcomer king to one of the big guys. What is implicit in this transformation is the difference in box office appeal, which is one of the reasons why "The World of Truman" is favored by others.
The other is Zhou Xingchi.
If you want to select the three most box office appealing people in the world, then the three candidates will definitely be three male actors. There is nothing wrong with the director circle. Among these three people, there must be Zhou Xingchi. This person's box office appeal is so terrible. Although Duane is at its peak now, putting aside the specific content of the movie, he is far inferior to Zhou Xingchi in terms of box office appeal in the movie.
In fact, it would be fine if the box office appeal of an actor like Zhou Xingchi alone, but the most terrifying thing is that it is now the heyday of Zhou Xingchi in 2007. He grew up watching Zhou Xingchi's movies since childhood. He was deeply influenced by Zhou Xingchi. He was almost regarded as a god. The post-80s generation born in the 1980s who have gradually grown up and entered society at this point in time, and have consumption power. These people are very likely to use their consumption power to promote Zhou Xingchi to the altar, even if he just took a piece of shit out.
"Kung Fu" has begun to show such clues. This has transcended the scope of movies and will become a social phenomenon and mark of the times...
To be honest, just a Zhou Xingchi who is destined to be cast into a god by the times will bring the cast of "Liberation Day" all the way, let alone a Duane who is at its peak? So in terms of the crew lineup, many people actually believe that the box office appeal shown by "Trumen's World" is greater than that of "Liberation Day".
Under such circumstances, they are looking forward to "Trumen's World" breaking the box office record again. How could they accept the number 1.5 billion?
This is so bad! With two such people here, how boring is this movie to be filmed to achieve such box office performance?
But no matter what, this is definitely big news.
The reporter who asked the question stared at the boss and was very surprised. The other media friends present also looked shocked, but many of them were shocked and their lips were slightly curled up. Obviously, these people who were agile in their minds had realized how explosive the news was.
"The World of Truman" may have a problem and the filming is not smooth. Director Du An is suspected of drinking to relieve his sorrows. He spoke up after drinking at the roadshow, threatening to be extremely unfavorable to the box office of the film. The film may be put on the shelves for the sake of driving the ducks...
Some people are unable to sit still and want to go back and write the press release immediately.
Media friends were shocked, while fans at the scene were confused: Looking at the previous momentum and the various speculations in the media, aren’t they all optimistic about the box office of "Trumen’s World"? Most people think that at least 2.5 billion yuan will start, and there will be no cap. Why did Du An directly cut 1 billion with this mouth?
The director himself said that this movie is boring. Is it necessary to watch it in the movie? What kind of movie is this? Even Duane and Zhou Xingchi can't save it together?...
All of these fans suddenly became people who didn't know the truth.
On the stage, everyone's expressions were also colorful, especially Zhou Xingchi, whose face had been completely pulled down, which was ugly. If he hadn't been concerned about too many media here, he might have started to curse, and he and Du Anke had scolded a lot on the set.
"Damn it, it's a big show!"
Dabao, the anchor who was responsible for the live broadcast of Origin, was shocked and quickly reacted. He couldn't help but look excited. He looked like he was not worried about the big deal. He lowered his voice and shouted quickly to Mai: "Friends, today's play is not 6? It's completely live broadcast, without scripts, no rehearsals, but it's even more exciting than the movie! Let's deduct 6 together!"
The barrage in the live broadcast room was completely exploded.
"Damn, how much did you drink?! I am convinced that Du An is the first person to destroy my own station. I am heartbroken, I'm so heartless! Damn, I wanted to watch it after the exam, but now should I watch it? The director himself said that his movie was boring, and I was really convinced that Stephen Chow's face was dark! Who would say that Stephen Chow has a bad temper in the future? Who would be anxious with me? I didn't scold anyone like this? This is a very good temper! Investors cried and broke up their own station in the toilet. I'm afraid no one dared to film Du An in the future. It's really a big show of the year. I guess Stephen Chow will never take Du An's scene again. Let alone Stephen Chow, he is a big star.
Duane must consider Duane's drama. He has no quality at all. This director is really the investor who has been in trouble for eight lifetimes. The trolls should be careful when they speak. Isn't it okay for our Duane to be so honest? He had a good impression of him. Today, he looked at him, but he was a low-quality director who has become a balloon. Haha, this two-stupid director is interesting. I have been following Duane and never gets into a cold. Today, I have to follow Weibo. This guy is such a lively treasure. With him in the entertainment industry, he can't stop 666666666"…
The number of people in the live broadcast room has reached 2.06 million at this moment, and this number is still rising rapidly. In addition, in addition to the dense barrage that completely obscures the picture, you can also see the gift information refreshing in the chat box next to it, and some rich people brushed several of the most expensive gift rockets in one go. This is probably one of the reasons why the number of people in the live broadcast room is rising rapidly, because the information of the gift rocket is reported by the entire platform plus the room direct train.
"Everyone,"
At the scene where the silence lasted for several seconds, a sudden voice rang out.
The person who spoke was on the stage and stood up, and everyone could see who it was.
It's Song Zhen.
She was smiling and looking at everyone below and said, "Director Du told me before coming today that he would make a joke with everyone. Now he has really deceived everyone. It seems that our Director Du's acting skills are indeed very good."
The host was stupid and did not react in a short period of time. Instead, she reacted first and made up a reason to smooth things over. This reaction was unpleasant.
But no matter how fast she reacts, the reason she made up in a short period of time is unreliable to joke about? Acting skills?
What a scam!
This is so true. You are obviously drunk and speak the truth after drinking. Are you still talking to me?
I'll play your sister! You obviously don't believe it yourself!
No one at the scene believed Song Zhen’s nonsense.
Chapter completed!
