The road show continues...

In addition to answering questions from reporters, there are also Q&A sessions from the audience!

One audience member stood up: "I know you hate "NF Weekend", but I still like it. I don't know how to evaluate NF Weekend. Many negative news were exposed by NF Weekend, and many fake negative news were also fabricated by NF Weekend~ "

Shen Changlin smiled: "The current era is an era of overflowing information. There are more and more media channels, making it easier to obtain information. However, due to fragmented reading and isolation of information, some media will not read all the information in order to attract attention. How to tell whether a report is true or false depends on your own thinking. I think in our era, if you don’t know how to identify effective information, you are no different from an illiterate! You have to be independent Don’t make judgments based on others’ opinions.”

"Director, I feel that my filming of "Search" was not profound enough..."

"Yes, it is indeed not profound. I also saw criticism on the Internet, saying that this movie is like a dynamic photo album of Gao Yuanyuan!"

I didn’t say it all, but the whole article is: Shen Changlin must have fallen in love with Gao Yuanyuan, otherwise, why would he make such a big show of making a dynamic photo album?

"Director, I find that I don't seem to sympathize with Ye Lanqiu. Is this my problem?"

"...No, this is my problem. When I was writing the script, I deliberately removed the tragic factors in Ye Lanqiu. At first, I thought about not explaining the fact that Ye Lanqiu's cancer was in the advanced stage, but using various small details to hint at it. , would it be more interesting for the audience to learn the truth at the end of the movie? But I still gave up this filming method."

"The audience is an outsider to the movie. Because the movie itself is not to reveal the reasons why people did not give up their seats, but to highlight the harm caused by online human flesh searches to the parties concerned, there is no need to use this as a clue for the audience to guess. The audience It’s the audience, and only when the audience knows the truth and other people in the movie don’t, will the plot feel more heart-wrenching.”

"I think it's a bit exaggerated. It's just a seat giving incident. As for suicide?"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "...I asked Yang Shoucheng to tell them. They were watching the sunrise together. Yang Shoucheng said, they wouldn't believe what you said. Yang Shoucheng said, now they can't even wash themselves off by jumping into the Yellow River! This Two words overwhelmed her..."

…

During the road show, the audience focused more on plot discussions. In fact, the publicity team was also working hard to analyze the plot.

Things like 'Why Ye Lanqiu chose to commit suicide', 'The relationship between Shen Liushu and Ye Lanqiu', 'Is Yang Jiaqi the mastermind behind the scenes'...

A lot of analysis has been posted on Weibo and Douban

Bring the rhythm, let the audience who have seen it deeply participate, make the audience who have not seen it interested, and then buy tickets...

Shen Changlin himself also posted a character relationship diagram and a timeline of events involving Sister Sunglasses.

Of course, the reason why so many mysterious plots are designed is not for the sake of depth and connotation, but mostly because of the needs of publicity and marketing.

This is a promotional method imitating "Inception".

——The more interpretations, the more heated the debate will be, and the more favorable it will be for the subsequent box office trend.

Shen Changlin attended every stop of the road show.

After all, he is the main force in publicity, and actors mainly participate in some variety shows...

The star cast led by Deng Chao and Gao Yuanyuan is enough to attract the attention of the media and the public.

Deng Chao was very cooperative and mentioned Sun Li and her son on various occasions, which attracted a lot of attention.

In the early morning of the 5th, the crew arrived in Chengdu...

After going to the hotel to rest for a night, Shen Changlin finally had time to understand the current situation of "Search".

How was the box office of "Search"?

41 million on the first day, 58 million on the second day, 52 million on the third day, 151 million on the first weekend...

This is very good data.

"The reputation is very good. Our next job is to keep the box office trend at a high level and give full play to the long-tail advantage of high reputation!"

“Good reputation doesn’t mean high box office!”

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Whether it can sell well at the box office depends on two main factors: type of track, and schedule hunger... word-of-mouth determines the upper limit, and type, and star casts determine the lower limit!"

The upper limit of the genre of "Search" is very obvious. Even if it is directed by Shen Changlin, common sense infers that the maximum is just over 300 million...

Because this thing is not a commercial film for the public at all!

Drama movies themselves are not a blockbuster genre.

Chen Jing nodded: "Of course we know, but we want to give it a try, maybe we can break 400 million..."

"It's difficult...but try your best~"

Shen Changlin stood up and was about to go back to his room, then Chen Jing said: "For our subsequent publicity, you'd better not blame the media..."

"They're looking for you?"

"Well... I'm begging for mercy..."

Shen Changlin smiled: "I didn't plan to say more about this. I'm just a director..."

…

Regarding "Search" including his conflict with 'NF Weekend'...

In fact, there were not many reports, and the enthusiasm of the media and the public was all focused on finding fault.

Who were you looking for? Of course it was the southern media, so a bunch of old material was released...

I'm speechless, I just want to promote the movie.

Shen Changlin is just a director, he is not a leftist...

An embarrassing stroke.

The development of public opinion was a bit out of expectations. Even Da Meiyuan complained that he should not have criticized Southern Weekend...

Shen Changlin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Isn't that flattering? It's something that impressed me deeply."

"What now?"

"...I think it's not us that should be worried, but them. I won't say anything publicly anymore anyway."

Da Meiyuan just said casually that she didn't care about this and changed the subject: "...I saw the box office. It was 150 million in the first weekend. Is it possible to break 500 million?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "Impossible, the market in March is here..."

"How much box office will that bring?"

"It's hard to say..."

“Aren’t you an expert in box office forecasting?”

"…Why do you care so much about the box office?"

Da Meiyuan rolled her eyes: ""Search" is already the highest-grossing movie I have participated in. Of course I hope it can be even higher!"

"Is it already the highest... No, didn't you act in "Nanjing! Nanjing!"?"

"Forget about that crappy movie!"

Shen Changlin was curious: "What's wrong?"

He thought Da Meiyuan was going to complain about Lu Chuan taking her to drink with her to defraud investment...
