July is really a place where soldiers and generals must fight for. First, "Trumen's World" cut in from the end of June, then "Assembly" strongly announced the official arrival of the summer season, and then "The Verdict of the Conquest" followed.

Compared with the director, Feng Xiaogang of "The Legend of the Congregation" is undoubtedly a little better than Chen Kexing in "The Legend of the Congregation". Compared with the cast, "The Legend of the Congregation" was revealed by "The Legend of the Congregation" by "The Legend of the Congregation" and the luxurious lineup of "The Legend of the Congregation" is obviously not comparable to the "The Legend of the Congregation".

Generally speaking, the biggest attraction of a movie to the box office market is reflected in actors rather than directors. Judging from this general rule, "The Vote" can undoubtedly make "Assembly" come out of shit. No matter how bad it is, the box office of the first three-day weekend will always exceed the box office of the first three-day weekend of "Assembly"?

But the facts were beyond everyone's expectations.

With the gimmick of Li Lianjie, Liu Dehua and Kim Sung-woo, "The Voting of the Name" received only 433 million yuan in the first three days of the first weekend, which was less than the 478 million yuan of domestic box office in the first three days of the first weekend. It was even more impossible on the weekly box office list compared with "The Voting of the Name" which was in the second week after seven days of release. It ranked second in the weekly box office rankings, and the first place was "The Voting of the Name" with a weekly box office of 936 million yuan.

As for "Trumen's World"...

In this week, the theater chain's "Trueman's World" has reduced its domestic box office by 118 million yuan, ranking fourth on the weekly box office rankings, and the third place is "The Secret Can't Say".

The work directed and acted by the King of Music has started this week. The box office for the first three days of the first weekend is quite good. Although it is not as good as the 433 million yuan of "The Vote", it is backed by the strong support of the majority of fans and has been completely ignited by several blockbusters during the summer season. The movie still received a three-day box office for the first weekend of 217 million yuan, which indirectly reflects how strong the fan economy is.

To be honest, among the summer films, Fang Liyong and Du An were the ones who were most optimistic about "The Voting of the Fame", but it seemed that "Assembly" was the most likely winner. It was really surprising. Of course, these had nothing to do with them. Anyway, "Truemon's World" has withdrawn from the competition in the summer season early, and all the data that is happening is similar to that of analysts. They have even seen the final box office of this movie in advance, which is about 1.8 billion yuan, and it may be able to reach 1.9 billion yuan, but it is unstoppable.

For a movie, this box office figure is actually very good, but for Duane, who was pushed to the altar by "Liberation Day" and placed too many expectations, this is an unqualified number, especially the movie has the addition of Zhou Xingchi, which is even more unqualified by this calculation. It is not an exaggeration to call it a failure, in fact, many people already think so.

"... Zhang Yi, who left Duan, was smooth sailing, and the box office performance of "Golden Armor" no longer needs to be said. Although the quality of the film has been criticized, his strong commercial ability makes Lao Mouzi still the best candidate for filming commercial films. In contrast, Duan, who left Zhang Yi, was like a lamb lost in the wilderness. Even with the addition of a money-making weapon like Zhou Xingchi, it is still difficult to restore the decline in the box office. Perhaps our young director needs to ask his predecessors for advice..."

Some people used past data to compare.

"...Although there is still some time before the painting of "Truman's World", many people in the industry have already asserted that the film will eventually have a total global box office of about 2 billion... If we exclude the film "Liberation Day", which is a large number of participants, and only look at Duane's previous directing experience, it is not difficult to find that the highest box office of his film is "Terminator", and the global box office is only comparable to the expected total box office of "Truman's World", so we may not say that "Truman's World" is Duane's Waterloo, this is just his normal level

Just to play. As for the great success of "Liberation Day", the factors that affect are many. We cannot completely attribute the credit and responsibility to him alone... If we judge it by the standards of a young director, such box office results are already very good, especially when the quality of the movie itself is still so high... The social environment of eagerness for quick success and instant benefits requires us to reflect. We should not put too much pressure on such a genius. After all, he has not even been thirty years old this year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child in the director group..."

This article seems to be safeguarding, but in fact it belittles it, and directly defeats Duan, who has already entered the ranks of major directors, and returns to the ranks of "young directors". Of course, what this article says does make sense, so it has been reproduced in many local newspapers, so it has also planted a concept in the minds of many people: Duan is indeed extremely excellent among young directors, but if you want to join the ranks of major directors, you still need to go further to experience, and your own conditions are insufficient.

Du An, who has become one of the great directors because of the great success of "Liberation Day", has gradually adjusted his position in the minds of everyone to the position of "the strongest among young directors is a certain gap from the great director."

With the continuous arrival of many films such as "Assembly", "The End of the Farewell", the media's public opinion focus gradually shifted to them, and no one discussed "The World of Truman", so this impression was frozen there by the media.

However, Duane didn't pay attention to these things, and his eyes focused on another thing.

"... Although the performance in the box office market is not satisfactory, "Trumen's World" has always been highly praised in the minds of the audience, especially the concept of "real reality show" in the movie is even more amazing. As far as the author knows, there is such an area similar to "Taoyuan Island" in Jing'an District of Shanghai. The protagonists here are also ordinary people, and people can also see their growth process and observe their daily joys, anger, sorrow and happiness. However, unlike the movie, this observation is limited due to the existence of laws and regulations. And unlike the carefree Trumen, the "reality show" here is more like a troupe in the Colosseum "Real Taoyuan Island" is about to usher in their first concert. At the concert, they will fight like gladiators thrown into the Colosseum to fight for a "life-and-death"..."

When "The World of Truman" still occupied the center of public opinion, Shanghai local media published similar articles, and because "This is very likely the source of Duane's script creativity", it has been reprinted by many foreign media outlets. It has a great influence and there are still many readers who have watched it. During this period, there were many fans of Duane. The admirers of "The World of Truman" came to Shanghai to visit these theaters on Chang'an West Road. This added a certain amount of business to several theaters and expanded the potential fan base, especially digesting the concert tickets. It seems that there are still many people who want to watch the real-life version of the Colosseum. Watching the excitement is always the eternal theme of mankind.

And Duane is busy now, and this is also the case.

As the end of the month approaches, the general election concert of dkb48 is about to begin. As the general manager of dkb48, our boss Su Jin is at the critical moment of pregnancy. Du Ping takes care of him every day like a giant panda. It is obviously impossible to take time to deal with the concert, so the courage of the general manager of this matter naturally falls on Du An's shoulders.
