The entanglement between Shengshi and Star Entertainment is well known. This time the two sides are competing on the same stage, many people in the circle are paying attention to this matter? Some reporters have prepared interview drafts early and waited outside the major theaters for interviews. .
It's just that most people don't have much fantasy about "Monologue", a small-budget movie, and their main goal is "Utopia".
This large-scale fantasy romance film mainly tells the story of the hero who is accidentally involved in a strange place called "Youdu" by a strange fog, and meets a half-ghost, half-human heroine with a special identity Because of the heroine, he got into trouble with the ghost king of Youdu. After a series of thrilling plots, the heroine sacrificed her life to help the hero strengthen a wave of artifacts. In the end, the hero naturally defeated the ghost king. The traditional routine of resurrecting the heroine.
Because of the huge investment, the special effects of this movie are excellent, plus the director's skills are good, the plot rhythm is tight, and the process of defeating the ghost king has twists and turns, which is very thrilling. It's amazing, but it can also be called a sound? Excellent.
The reporter interviewed the first batch of audiences who watched the movie, and their evaluations were quite satisfactory.
However, as the movie began to play the second and third scenes, the audience's evaluation gradually changed? Many people shook their heads and gave a general evaluation. Some said the plot was not exciting enough, while others said The special effects are too fake... In short, it is in stark contrast to the initial praise. It sounds like deliberately hacking this? The troll of the movie.
Even the reporters who interviewed were confused.
Until a young man said the truth in front of the camera: "Ah? Why is it not good-looking? Ah? In fact, there is no particularly vicious plot, but it doesn't feel exciting. Maybe it's because I watched it first? The reason for "The Monologue" has been mentioned, and when I look at it again, it feels a little bit less interesting. I always feel that the special effects are a bit fake, and the ghost king is not scary at all. Anyway, my heart did not fluctuate during the whole process. emmmmm Probably this is it? Sample?"
At the end, he scratched his head in bewilderment.
—When this interview video was broadcast, this animation was reposted by some spoofed netizens, because his expression was so innocent and confused, it looked very interesting. Even this young man didn't know why he became famous for no reason.
But the reporters who interviewed on the spot were keenly aware of the big news. It seems, probably, maybe, that the movie "Monologue" is going to explode!
Because of Star Entertainment, the theaters of the two films only overlapped in a very small number of theaters, and the few theaters that had deep entanglements with Star Entertainment did not have the movie "Monologue" at all.
When these reporters found a theater showing "Monologue", as expected, they immediately found that the attendance rate was astonishing. There are still many viewers who love this game and chose to re-brush.
Is Mo Qing one of them
When she walked out of the theater center contentedly, she was immediately stopped by a reporter. She didn't panic, and started talking in front of the camera: "Why? Why do you watch this? This movie? Of course it's because I'm a fan of Director Yan!"
After talking a lot of truth, she said again: "But this movie is really good. Regardless of the fan filter, it is also a very interesting cult movie. Director Yan's rendering of the atmosphere It’s amazing?! How should I put it, it’s hard for me to describe it. You can only feel it when you see it in person, and that kind of goose bumps feeling at the scene!”
Apart from her, of course other people were also interviewed. There is no such thing as a completely one-sided praise. Even if it is a masterpiece in the history of movies, there are still people who don't like it.
However, in the eyes of the reporters, it is quite incredible that, whether they like it or not, everyone mentioned one point in the interview, that is, the panic atmosphere in this movie is very real, and it is very contagious. It is easy to enter into it, just like being there.
Such a realistic horror rendering really scares many couples who only want to watch a fresh movie—this is also one of the main reasons for some bad reviews.
That night, online reviews of these two films came out.
"Youdu Fantide" is quite satisfactory. If you like it, you can at most praise it. If you don't like it, you can say that the plot routine is boring. The two sides can't even quarrel. It can be called waves Don't be surprised.
The creativity of this film itself is not amazing, but just as a great writer can write an ordinary stalk very attractively, its rhythm, camera, special effects, soundtrack, etc. are not low-level, but the content of the plot itself It can't stir up too many waves of discussion.
If there is only this one outstanding movie recently, even the plot routines will be discussed by many people. However, there was another "Monologue" with a more controversial plot in the same period, which took away the C position in terms of strength.
Movies like horror movies are not as widely accepted in this world as other movies, but they are not completely niche, and there are still quite a few groups of people who like them.
Especially in this film, there are neither ghosts nor ghosts, nor too bloody scenes, and it is not even counted as restricted. For many viewers who like this type of film, it is a treasure. For a while, they turned into tap water and greeted their like-minded friends everywhere.
And the discussion about "Monologue" even built tall buildings on relevant forums.
[Second swipe, talk about your thoughts. Judging from the coincidence of the dates in the diary and the final calendar, I think so, the last scene should be similar to "waking up from a dream". The protagonist in the small town (emmm, the protagonist doesn't even have a name from the beginning to the end, can the director be more perfunctory?) While being swallowed by monsters, he woke up in a mental hospital in reality.
The story that happened before was actually carried out in the inner world of the protagonist, and the "small town" that did not show the whole picture in the camera from the beginning to the end is actually the inner world of the protagonist. In the end, his sanity was devoured, and the one who woke up in the mental hospital was a "monster".
From the beginning to the end of this movie, it should be about a normal person's heart? Break down to madness? Story? Or the process of personality replacement? Casually analyze, everyone casually look?Look?. Don't piss me off. The bar is your right. ]
[I agree. The beginning of the movie is a rainy day, and it is raining almost all the time, and the monsters that always appear in the dark, the human figure that fell in the yard (reminiscent of that fanatical pursuer, it is likely to be made in reality) Horrible thing?)... I think this should be a reflection of the protagonist's inner reality.
In addition, I have noticed that the two kinds of pictures under the film lens, the contrast between illusion and "real" is particularly obvious.
When shooting the house where the protagonist lives, the lens is very realistic, and the weird things that happen in the whole house give people a very real feeling; Town, generally only half of the corner and the like, basically out of the picture.
Especially in the final climax, when the protagonist escapes back, whether it is the residents of the small town or the background of the surrounding town, what is shown in the camera is a very distorted and blurred picture, just like a big living person It's like traveling in a weird world. Also, as the protagonist ran all the way, the road under his feet gave me a feeling of building blocks falling apart. My language is not good enough to describe it. In short, the picture is particularly absurd and weird, as if there is only that house In this world is real? It seems that the whole small world is distorting and collapsing, only this house is left unbroken. Is this because the main character in reality is going a little bit crazy? ]
[This? The reading comprehension level is 666.] Have you ever thought about another possibility? Maybe Director Yan didn't think that much at all. Considering that there are no realistic scenes in the mental hospital, and there are no actors with superb acting skills, so he just blurted everything out? (dog head)? ]
[Blind student, you discovered Huadian. Director Yan was stunned! ]
[Speaking of the camera image, I suddenly remembered that the tone of most of the shots in the front is very dark, and the painting style is particularly realistic? At that time, it gave me an illusion of an upside-down illusion of reality, which was very strange and weird. I don't know if I'm over-interpreting it? ]
[Personally, I don’t know what is deep or not, so I think the last paragraph is a complete failure! At first, I really thought it was a horror movie, but in the end it was the routine of "the main character is mentally ill, everything is an illusion". Can the horror movies still work now? Can't we have some real ghosts and monsters? ]
[True ghost movie? You are thinking of peaches. 404 warning (funny.jpg). ]
[I don’t want to comment on the latter paragraph, I have another opinion on the previous plot. Have you forgotten the reality? The background of this movie shooting? The director himself has just been attacked by public opinion on the Internet, slandered and framed, and locked up in a mental hospital... What do you think of the protagonist's experience in the movie? It's all a kind of metaphor.
The monster is the mastermind behind all of this, and the weird events dictated by the town residents have nothing to do with the protagonist, after all, we all know that the protagonist never goes out. But they just pushed all these things to the protagonist, an outsider, and finally tried to attack the protagonist under the influence of the black hand behind the scenes... According to this way of thinking, there are too many details mapped in the movie , understand all understand :). ]
[Upstairs is the analyst? Full marks for reading comprehension.
Director Yan: This? Where did this little talking ghost come from? Come on, recruit me into the prosperous world! ]
[Tilt head. So, this is filming and at the same time taking revenge and blackmailing the enemy? If people in the future analyze this movie, won't they drag out people like Zhou Yao and whip their corpses over and over again? 23333 What a deep scheming! I like! ]
[I feel that everyone is a master of logic, but I am a fool. I didn't understand it from the beginning to the end, the only gain was that I was so scared that I dropped all the popcorn drinks, and I also lost a shirt to the buddy in the front row, and finally shared it with the girlfriend I just dated for a day hands. I really thought this? It was just a fresh movie. Now I’m so scared that I’m shivering under the covers! To come up with such a literary and artistic name, and release such a beautiful promotional video, but the content is so horrible. Is the director just a human being? ! ]
[Ha ha ha ha ha, the amount of information upstairs is a bit large. One thing to say, this movie is really scary. You can't feel it just by listening to the recitation, you have to go to the scene to see it? There are no ghosts or gore, and I don't know why? It just makes me so panicked? Horror movie fans can't stand it. ]
[Yes, yes, this? The horror atmosphere rendering is really amazing! I dare say that other domestic horror film directors are far from enough in this area, and I get goosebumps just watching it. ]
[If I remember correctly, there seems to be restrictions on audiences with a history of heart disease and special age groups when booking online. The conductor at the entrance of the cinema also has a reminder. Am I the only one who noticed this kind of detail? Horror is really scary, can’t you watch it? Don’t force it. ]
…
There are different opinions about what the movie plot itself symbolizes. Some people see this purely as an exciting horror film, some just like to constantly explore the deep connotation, and some think it is too showy and the content itself is not interesting. The only thing everyone agrees with is that this movie is really scary!
Where there is controversy, there is heat. Unknowingly, "Monologue" was released for a week, and the box office went up all the way. It was 9.3 million on the first day, 17 million on the second day, and 29 million on the third day... After a week, Just passed the 300 million mark. And the cost of this movie is very little, and almost all of it is used in post-production such as special effects and soundtrack.
In contrast, the box office growth rate of "The Nether Tide" is very impressive. With the help of the famous guide halo and the generous film arrangement of Star Entertainment, the box office exceeded 10 million on the first day, and it was fixed at 21 million. The box office on the first day was about the same as the first day, and even fell slightly, especially in the last three days, the box office dropped directly to about 10 million... After a week, the final box office was only 150 million!
Just looking at the box office in the first two weeks and the follow-up trend, let alone a big hit, this movie can at most recover its cost.
Such a stark contrast shocked those insiders who didn't even read "The Monologue" beforehand.
Logically speaking, "Ghost Tide" is above the standard in all aspects. Although it is not a big hit, it is still no problem to make a lot of money. Who would have thought that the final results would be so dismal? After a lot of personnel analysis, the problem was finally discovered.
Still related to "Monologue".
There are mainly only these two films worth watching in this schedule. Most of the movie fans watched it together.
It's okay to watch "Magic Tide" first, but if you read "Monologue" first and experience the incomparably real panic atmosphere, then you will always feel that everything is fake when you watch "Magic Tide" , even at the most exciting and exciting part of the plot, the audience still looked dumbfounded.
It seems that all the nervous and fearful emotions have been sucked away by the "Monologue", which is a bit like "the sea was too difficult for water"; The old driver in the weak period just wants to be paralyzed by salted fish.
This directly affected the word-of-mouth of "Ghost Tide" on the Internet, and incidentally affected new viewers who hadn't watched it yet.
On the one hand, word of mouth is exploding, attracting new audiences constantly, and old audiences are reapplying; on the other hand, word of mouth is so-so, unable to attract new audiences, and old audiences feel dull... So, the box office trends of the two films showed such It's a strange gap. A fairly good film like "The Tide of the Netherworld" was born to fail.
This? It's a classic case of "relying on peer support".
After figuring out the reason for this, for a while, people in the entire film and television industry felt sorry for director Youdu, and at the same time felt a little in awe of Yuan Buwei, a fierce man.
As for the audience outside the circle, even though they don't know whether such a movie is profitable or losing at the box office, they still know who wins and who loses because of the double gap between the two sides. It's like a person who doesn't know football, can't see which side is better, but at least can tell the pros and cons from the score.
Immediately, Star Entertainment attracted a burst of ridicule.
——Take the initiative to shift gears and collide with others. I thought it was a crushing situation, but in the end, I was killed by others, blood flowed into rivers, and I threw away my helmet and armor. Isn't this embarrassing enough
The headquarters of Star Entertainment was shrouded in a burst of low pressure. Fu Han once again hung up a questioning call from a shareholder, and slammed the phone to the ground.
This is not the first call he received today. Before, there were people who came to the office to have a face-to-face showdown with him, all of them accusing him of being impulsive and trying to crush Shengshi by force. , As a result, a film carefully planned by the company fell into his hands. Although he didn't lose money, he didn't make much money. The previous investment was in vain!
And this is not the first time.
The last time Fu Han intentionally screwed up "Deep Palace", it already made many shareholders dissatisfied. If he hadn't paid for the hole himself, they wouldn't have settled down so easily? Ningren. This time, there is another moth, and the shareholders can't stand it anymore!
Some have even outspokenly called for him to step down.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Fu family held a lot of shares and was the major shareholder of Star Entertainment, and Fu Han repeatedly promised that he would not make the same mistake again, this matter would not have ended so easily.
When the phone was dropped, Fu Hanyou couldn't help it. He was panting heavily, and his chest heaved violently.
"Yan, Xun!"
Gritting his teeth and saying this name, Fu Han's hatred for the other party soared to the extreme, but he had no choice but to be helpless and furious for the time being.
As the saying goes, if you don't want to be strong.
This kind of ruthless person who has no flaws in himself, directly reported his own company and sent Dad to the police station, if he still plays some secret tricks like before, it’s fine if he doesn’t expose himself, but if he gets caught Hold on to the handle, he will probably be the next one to get into the game.
And suppress it openly? The result of this time is already obvious.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and another bad news came.
The secretary hurried into the office: "President, Sheng Shi suddenly released a bunch of evidence on the Internet..."
These evidences are related to the black material that "Yan Xun" was hacked by the whole network last time. In addition to hammering the logic chain of black material into a mess, they also followed the clues to find out the release of black material and incitement. Army behind the scenes.
— This? It's all thanks to the system 999.
On the first day of coming to this world, I ordered the system 999 to do this for nothing, but now is the best time to throw out all the dirty stuff.
Sure enough, the Internet exploded directly!
The system's 999 shots are all real hammers. Even after Xingyu reacted and wanted to wash the floor, it looked extremely pale and weak, but was angered by netizens.
Including the unnamed assistant director and the actress who wronged the original unspoken rules, after the transaction records between them and Star Entertainment were exposed, they were directly hung up on the wall by angry netizens-this is a stain on them I'm afraid I won't be able to wash it off for a lifetime.
And under the Weibo that belonged to the original body, countless messages of apology poured in.
[Ah ah, kowtow to Director Yan here? I'm sorry.] bang bang bang! (Loud?) In fact, I knew I was wrong after watching the press conference before, but I still deceived myself with no evidence and refused to give in. Now seeing these evidences, I am really cracked! Without further ado, go buy ten movie tickets now and make a contribution to Director Yan! ]
[+1. Also to contribute to the box office, counted as an apology. ]
[Host, now the Internet is full of news about apologizing to you. It seems that your reputation has been completely reversed.]
The system 999 always paid attention to the news on the Internet, and told Yuan Buwei the first time he discovered that the wind direction had changed, with an excited and elated tone.
After all, this also has its share of credit.
"Oh." Yuan Buwei was very calm.
At this time, he was sitting in the garden of his own villa basking in the sun, and by the way, commanding Shengshi remotely through the Internet, he was not even interested in reading those so-called apologies.
After all, he is not the original body, and the apologies of these people will not stir up any waves in his heart. His purpose of this wave of operations is actually to increase the popularity of the movie and hit Star Entertainment by the way.
As expected, at the same time that Xingyu was sprayed, the "Youdu Fantide", which had an unknown future, was also affected by it, and received retaliatory boycotts from many people.
Taking a sip of the sweetened version of milk tea, I didn't want to start contacting my all-purpose tool, Secretary Jiang: "About the new movie? Are you ready?"
Secretary Jiang, who was chatting with Star Entertainment on the Internet, took a breath: "Everything is ready, and the venue has been found. Now the only thing left is the actors."
He asked a little strangely: "Boss Yan, don't you need to be in such a rush, right? The movie hasn't even been released yet."
"Don't be in a hurry." Yuan Buwei took another sip of milk tea leisurely, "Before Xingyu replaces Fu Han, you can still contribute another wave of enthusiasm for me."
A tool man needs to make full use of it, but practice makes perfect for pulling wool. How could Fu Han be replaced like this without any contribution
Secretary Jiang was silent for ten seconds.
Hearing the sound of his CEO drinking milk tea on the other side of the phone, he could imagine the leisurely attitude of the other party at the moment. Thinking about working overtime with dark circles under his eyes, and facing danger to his hairline, he almost had to vomit ten thousand words of MMP.
But in the end, he suppressed the urge to hack someone to death, and showed a commercial smirk: "Okay, I will help you contact the actor. Do you have any requests?"
…
After Yuan Buwei had finished communicating with Secretary Jiang, Secretary Jiang suddenly announced a message. A reporter from an entertainment media wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Yuan Buwei.
Yuan Buwei readily agreed: "No problem."
But Secretary Jiang was not at ease. Thinking of Yuan's inaction at the press conference last time and the emoticons still circulating on the Internet, he couldn't help but tactfully persuade:
"Mr. Yan, this time, remember to think carefully before answering. It would be even better if you can promote a positive image and the news of the next movie."
He re-read the four words positive and positive again.
"Don't worry, I understand."
Secretary Jiang: "..."
No, the more you say this, the more worried I become :).
·
Not long after, Secretary Jiang saw the newly released program, and the commercial smirk on his face couldn't hold back anymore. He realized that he really didn't know his president well enough.
— Not only can't listen to human words, but also don't speak human words.
He turned on his mobile phone, and as expected, the content of this episode of the show has contributed a lot to sand sculpture netizens.
Reporter: As a special cult movie, what does Director Yan think about the success of "Monologue" this time? Is there any secret that you can share with you
Originally not: The success of the film cannot be separated from the support of the audience. The excellent performance of the protagonist is also an indispensable part, but as a director, I have only played at a normal level. '
[The front of 2333 is quite normal, and it sounds quite modest. But I changed my mind and thought, isn't the protagonist the f*ck yourself? How can you still praise yourself in such a different way? Really long? I have seen it. ]
[Ji Cao, don’t be six, all sit down, where is this? ]
'reporter:? Haha, Director Yan is really humorous and has a very special idea. Perhaps it is because of this that you were able to make such a special film as "Monologue". Now everyone is saying that the panic atmosphere in this movie is unbelievable. Several great directors admit that it is not as good as it is. Are you particularly talented in this
Not for: Have you ever asked candy why? So? So sweet? Is it because it is exceptionally gifted in this
reporter:? ? ? Of course, the candy has to go through a lot of processing... Oh, what Director Yan meant was that you also carved it out the day after tomorrow. It seems that Yan Wei is euphemistically telling everyone that acquired hard work is far better than innate talent, which is really inspiring.
Why not: No, do you think anything can be processed into candy? The fact of the matter is that I have talent.
Reporter: ... (the face is blank for a whole second)
Originally not: Regarding this point, after you watch my next movie, you will have a more in-depth experience. '
[… Feeling internalized, so I just can't be made into sugar crap?] ]
[Appeared! Director Yan's wonderful metaphor! ]
[I just realized this? It's actually promoting a new movie? ]
…
After the whole show, the reporter stuck his words a few times in the middle of the show. Judging from his expression, it was clear that he wanted to kick Yuan Buwei off the stage. But the audience who watched the show were full of hahaha, and the barrage was very joyful.
On Shengshi's side, looking at Secretary Jiang's eyes of complaint and accusation, he looked innocent and bewildered.
...is this? Not positive enough? Not only is it positive, but the promotion of the next movie is also in place! It perfectly met Secretary Jiang's request.
not to mention…
"After serious consideration, I will tell the truth."
—This almost instinctive stimulation and capture of the fear of all living beings is the deepest imprint of his soul carved out by the outside world.
That's something among these mortals, even the most talented director can't do it in his entire life.
